AN ADMIRER OF HENRY GEORGE LEAVES HIM THE BULK OF HIS ESTATE. George Hutchins of Blue Anchor, N.J., Be- queathes His Estate to Henry George, in Trust, to Establish the Hutchins Fund, to be Used for the Express Purpose of ‘*‘Spreading the Light” on Political Liberty and Justice in the United States of Amer- ica. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsratcn. NEW YORK, October 7.—Henry George isin luck. When he reached his place of business yesterday morning he found upon his desk a letter, the contents of which surprised him greatly. It was a comparatively small mis- Sive, but its subject matter was of importance. This unassuming communication, which was inclosed in an envelope beariirg the name of a Camden (N, J.) attorney, acquainted him with the fact that one George Hutchins of Blue Anchor, N. J., recently dead, had left him the bulk of his estate. ‘‘Idon’t know what this means,’’ said Mr. George, yeaterduy, as he showed the letter to the Post-DISPATCH correspondent, ‘‘but it appears that some- body has left me some money.’’ **Did you know the man?’’ was asked. ‘*‘No; this is the first time I ever heard of him, butI suppose he was a readeroft my works.’’ s ‘*What do you propose to do about it?’’ **Oh, I will take the necessary steps to claim the money, and I have already replied to the writer of this letter to that effect.’’ THE LETTER. The letter, which was written on note paper, bearing the heading, ‘‘George A. Vroom, At- torney-at-Law, 205 Market street,’’ was as fol- lows: Henry George, Esq., New York: DEAR SIr—The late George Hutchins of Blue Anchor, in this State, leaves the bulk of his property to your care, in trust, creatinga trust to be known by the name of the ‘* Huteh- ins Fund,’’ to be used by you for ‘‘the express purpose of spreading the light’’ on political liberty and justice in the United States of America by means ofthe distribution of your works, ‘*‘Progress and Poverty,’’ etc. This will be filed in the office of the Surrogate ofCamden County and & Caveat against admitting the same to pro- bate was flied by some relative of Hutenins, and the matter willcome on fora hearing in the course ofaiew weeks. I represent the executor named in this will and think that you should have notice of this matter, so that you can be heard if youthink proper. Yours respectfully, GEORGE A. VROOM, Cumden, N. J., October 5. GEORGE’S BENEFACTOR. Bine Anchor is a hamlet in the heart of the grape-producing region of New Jersey. It is abouttwenty miles from Camden. George flutchins was a man of about 60 years. He and his wife Mary, a childless couple, lived on a farm of modest extent and of consider- able value which they called Ancora. Hfutchins owned a farm and his business was raising grapes for market. He wasa native of that locality, but had been something of a traveler in his younger days, and was noted as an intelligent man and a prodigious reader. In the course of his residence at Ancora he had filled the house with books. He was fond of getting everything new in literature, and in the indulgence of that habit he picked upacopy of ‘‘Progress and Poverty.’’ He was celighted with the book, and re-read it again and again. More than that, he became an earnest advocate of the doctrines that it advanced. Thenceforth he parghese everything, that tr ae wrote, and was carr along, step vy etep, peHty avid soul, With the author, ut he was as unassuming an apostie as he was sincere. He endeavored to expound Mr. George’s doctrines to his neighbors, and to make con- verts of them. Lut he hever sought to make known himself and his admiration to his teacher. He only called on his lawyer and made his will in favor of the author. Then he calmiy waited for his summons, not without secret satisfaction, perhaps, atthe thought thatthe surprise occasioned by the discovery would makethe author remember him allthe more pleasantly. When, after the old farmer’s death a few days ago,the wiil was read, its contents were a complete sur- prise to eyerybody but his widow and a few old pessons who had been cognizant of it all along. There is one person, how- ever, who § is not so well satisfied. This isa collateral relation of Mr. Hutchins nanied Glendale Davis, who is said to live in Phiiadelphia, although his name does not ap- pear in the directory of that city. The exact nature of his relationship to the dead farmer is not known to the executor, nor does the contest filed by him in the Surrogate’s Court state the grounds on which the willis to be contested. The opinion in the legal circles of Camden is that the will cannot be broken, THE WILL. - The will itself is rather a curious document. After the usual formula, declaring that he is George Hutchins of Ancora, County of Cam- den, State of New Jersey, being of sound mind, etc., he bequeathes, etec., to his wife Mary one-third of his real estate and Northern Pacific preferred stock and such of his per- sonal property and household effects as she may require for herown use. A singular be- quest is made of a sewing machine, together with enough money to put it in shipping order to Sarah Wood of Randolph, Barker County, Ind, Then comes the residuary clause, which is as follows: All the rest and residue of my estate of any and every form, kind and description what- ever. Lhereby give, devise and bequeath, un- der the name of the Hutchins Fund, to Henry George, the well-known author of ‘‘Progress and Poverty,’’ his heirs, executors and ad- ministrators, in sacred trust for the express purpose of ‘‘spreading the light’’ on social and political liberty amu justice in the United States of America by means of the gratuitous, wise, eflicient and economically ome distribution all over this land of s&id George’s publications on the important land question and cogent subjects, including his work on *‘Progress and Poverty,’’ his replies tothe criticisms thereon, his ‘‘Prob- lems of the Times’’ and any other of his books which he may think proper to gratuitously distribute in this country, provided, first, that said George shall regularly furnish true annual reports of the management and dis- tribution of the fund to the paper calied the Irish World and American Industrial Liber- ator or its acknowledged successor; and shall algo annually mail or otherwise send a copy of said paper containing sach annual reports. to each of the following persons, to-wit: My forementioned wife, Mary, nowW of this place; Wm. 8. Wood, now of Parker, Randolph County, State of Indiana, and James Hutchins, now of Selma, Delaware County, State of Indl- ana; and, provided, second, that sald George shall cause to be inserted or printed opposite the title page of every free copy of his books distributed by means of this fund, this, my solemn request, virtually, to-wit: ‘*That each recipient shall read it and then circulaw itamong such neighbors or other perfons as in his best jadgment will make the best us® of it.’’ The estate, which consists chiefly of real es- tate, also comprises a number of shares of Northern Pacific stock, worth at present 62% cents on the dollar, is valued at about $0,000. W. 8. is named as the sole exeeutor. Mr. Braddock is about 55 years old, of mediam size, and héhasadark complexion and tron gray massiees and beard. He owns a mill and is one © -Jargest cranberry raisers there. Thewillis now on file in the Surro- te’s Court, the questions pertaining to will be heard by Judge Westcott. Touching the validity of the will, the executor, Mr. Braddock, says theré can be no question as to the perfect sanity of the testator. Railroad Earnings.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., October 7.—There are few new particulars in regard to the explosion of the Mascotte. The Coroner is holding an inquest on all the bodies of those dead by burns and drowning. The captain and pilots of the Eagle were be- fore the jury yesterday, but their testimony their words was withdrawn, sv that cannot be given, but the substance ‘is that they did all in their power to reach and rescue the passengers from the Mascotte. Ifthey had run near the Mascotte they would have burned their boat. Capt. Ebaugh also denounced the crew of the Mascotte for cowardice and self- preservation and emphasized his statement with an oath. Capt. Thompson of the Mascotte is now on the stand and says that he knew that Capt. Ebaugh’s state-room was locked, and that he had trouble getting his own-pants out of them. He says that if Capt. Ebaugh had run the bow of his boat against the wheel of the Mascotte, he could have pushed. her ashore without danger of fire, us the Eagie has a large deck and the cabin sits away back. A DECKHAND'S STATEMENT. One of the deckhands, Peter Alexander of the Eagle, in an interview says: ‘‘lI was at dinner and I heard the Mascotte’s bell, and ran in. the guards to see what it was. Saw steam and thought she was blowing off and went back to my dinner. Soon aftersome one said ‘the boatisafire.’ Iran out again and saw the black smoke coming out amidship from the boiler deck. Capt. Ebaugh stood quietly looking at it and smoking a cigar, and did seem to care ang. helping. Some one put off the yaw! a i do not believe the Captain knew any- thing aboutit’’ The testimony of the Eagle officers exonerates them and denounces the Mascotte’s officers. The Mascotte’s officers all unite in DENOUNCING CAPT. EBAUGH. in most bitter terms. The testimony of all rescued passengers coincides with the Mas- cotte officers’ statements. The full list of the lost among the passengers are: Judge HAGER and wife, Miss JULIA RABICH, Mrs. W. H. WHEELER and two children, Miss AMELIA KRUEGER, Frrp Linp, all of Cape Girardeau; Mrs. JOHN MILLER and two children of Shelby- ville, Ill., BODIES RECOVERED Of the crew are those of J.

A description of the burns caused by the steam, of one of the cases taken to the hospi- tal, will answer for all, and is best de- scribed by saying that it looked as though scalding water had been poured on the person from head to foot, and the outside skin would come off with the clothes. Such was the case with the eleven who have died. Those who survive at this writing were no 80 badly burned. The name of that Illinois farmer who so nobly rescued the nine persons is Mat Hughes of Union Point, Ill.

HEMMED IN BY FLAMES. Terrible Plight of Employes in a Burning Factory—Roasted Alive, NEw York, October 7.—A fire broke out this morning early in the four-story factory build- ing, Nos. 63 to 67 Bayard street, It is David Block’s old tinware factory and has been on fire a number of times before. Since the tinware factory has been removed, Taylor’s cloak manufactory and quilt-makers have taken possession of it, Eight different firms have shops in it. In the three cloak manufactories of Samuel Paul, Joseph Weiner and Nathan Fried, on the fourth floor, between fifty and seventy-five men, women and chil- dren wereat work when the fire occurred. Samuel Paul’s employes escaped by the east stairway, which was unobstructed,* to the street. The employes cf the other establishnients could not escape by the west stairway, their path being blocked by flames ana dense smoke to face which meant death. The fire’ was below them in Hollander’s quilt factory. The frightened employes then made for.the roof of the building. The last reached the flat- root with clothes afire, and half smothered. Already the just deserted rooms were on fire, and to stay on the roof was to perish, because the flames were breaking through the scuttle. Adjoining the factory was atwo-story house witha peak roof. To leap to it was perilous, but to remain was certain death. The em- ployes shrank back in despair, and a large crowd gathered in the street below. With shrieks of terror, that were echoed ina loud wail from the street, men and women flung themselves off. Minnie Rogansky, a young woman living at 64 Bayard street, fell in the street on her head and was mortally hurt, her skull being crushed in. She was removed to the hospital.QGA little boy who was clinging to the coping of the peaked house was rescued by Paul J. Shappell, an old volunteer fireman, with the aid of some citi- zens and the police. The police went up on the roof of the tall tenement, No. 71, and threw a rope down to the factory employes stili left on the roof of the burning building. and they were rescued one after the other. Others were taken into a window trom the peaked-roofed house. Hyman Roberts hurt his arm badly. All this took but a few minutes and then the police and firemen put up ladders. At this time the roof of the factory was on fire, but the firemen were soon masters of the situation. A close search of the burned rooms soon showed that nobody had been burned to death. The loss on building and contents will foot up $20,000. Roasted Alive. CHICAGO, October 7.—Two children, a boy, aged 10 years and his sister three years younger, were burned to deathin their beds at No. 1022 Warren avenue by a fire which broke out about 2:50 this morning. The house is a two-story frame, the home of George Davis. The flames were already under great headway when discovered by the neighbors who turned in an alarm from the box at the corner of Wood and Madison streets. The occupants of the house had not been aroused at the time the discovery was made and such as saved them- selves were obliged to jumpfrom the upper story windows, the first floor of the building having been completely enveloped in flames by this time. The mother of the children burned, was very severely, if not fatally injured, and had one arm broken in several places. The firemen made desperate en- deavors to save the children. Burned to Death. BUFFALO, N. Y., October 7.—A special to the Commercial from Olean says: At Belfast this morning inadense fog two freight trains on the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad collided, badly wrecking the engines and many cars. The caboose and several cars of one train were burned. ‘Conductor Frank Ingram of Olean was in the caboose and was burned to death.

NEw YorK, October 7.—The Times this morning says: If the arrangements entered into lastevening between representatives of the County Democracy and Tammany Hall is ratified by the County conventions of those factions, as it undoubtedly will be, there will beaunionon a local Democratic ticket this fall from the Mayoralty down. The choice of a candidate for Mayor was narrowed down to ex-Mayor Edward Cooper, Controller Edward V. Loew and George W. Quint- tard, of the Quintard Iron Works. The negotiations for aunion was carried on between representatives of both organizations through the mediations of Gov. David B. Hill, more or less representing the interests of Tammany Hall, and Col. Daniel 8. Lamont of Washington. By the agreement entered into the county Democracy is to be allowed to se- lect the candidate for Mayor to run ona union Democratic ticket, fromthe names of Cooper Loew, and Cuintard, and isto be per- mitttedto name the candidate for the Su- preme Court bench or for the vacancy in the Superiorjf Court. Tammany Hall is to ratify the choice of the County Democracy for Mayor and for one or otherof the judgesbips, and in return the County Democracy County Con- vention is toindorse Tammany’s candidates for the remaining judgeship and for register. A union is also to be had in most, if not all, of the Congressional and Assembly districts on candidates for Congress, the Assembly and the Board of Aldermen. Secretary Manning is alsoin thecity. Col. Lamont is credited with having done an ex- ceedingly hard day’s work yesterday. Zhe Sun thus records the movements of the prominent politicians: ‘‘Of course the real reason for Mr. Lamont and Mr. Manning com- ing here is politics. Gov. Hill, although he had;to be present to review the militia, can- not help expressing some kind of an opinion of the political situation in the city and what is needed to straighten things out. In the afternoon Mr. Lamont called on ex-Mayor Cooper. He also saw Mr. Manning and visited Gov. Hill at the Hoffinan House. Collector Magone called at the Fifth Avenue in the afternoon and saw Mr. Lamont and presum- ably Mr. Manning. Besides thts, Mr. Lamont saw, incidentally, several mighty men in local politics.’’ $10 Worth of Wear for &3. Big drive this week in men’s all- woo! Scotch cheviot trousers at Famous for $3.

The Republican City Ticket, Hopelessly Crippled. — The Central Committee Will. Call a New Convention. Unsuccessful Attempts to Fill the Vacancies on the List. An Important Caucus at Delano’s Office— Jacob Klein Refuses to Take Johnson’s Place—The Convention to Meet Monday —Ballot-Box Stuffing at Democratic Pri- maries—Charges of Fraud Against Cen- tral Committeemen—Gossip, As the quickest and best way out of the numerous difficulties into which the Repub- licans have been plunged by the declinations of different candidates, prominent members of the party have concluded to _ re- quest the Central Committee to reconvene the delegates to the City Convention and a new convention wiil be held at Central Turner Hall next Monday morning. A part ofthe planis to secure the withdrawal of all of the candidates remaining on the ticket and nominate a full ticket. Ata meeting of the Republican Vity Central Committee, last night, Messrs. J. D. Johnson and Dave Murphy withdrew from the Repub- lican ticket as candidates for the offices of Circuit Judge and Judge of the Court of Crim- inal Correction respectively. This action was influenced by the decision of J. P. Vastine to accept the nomination for Criminal Judge. At 10 o’clock this mourning a meeting of rep- resentative Republican lawyers was held at the office of Rufus J. Delano, Chairman of the Re- publican City Central Committee, called by Mr. Delano for the purpose of selecting good candidates for Circuit Judge and Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction, to recommend to the Central Committee suitable persons to fill the vacancies occa- sioned by the withdrawal of Messrs. Johnson and Murphy. Among those present were Messrs. Smith P. Galt, Seneca N. Taylor, Pol- lard and Fisher. Mr. Jake Klein,who had re- ceived an invitation, dropped in toward the end of the caucus. Mr. Delano stated briefly to the gentlemen the object of the meeting, and a discussion followed on the merits of several candidates whose names were proposed. For Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction Mr. Charles F. Joy appeared to be the favorite. There being some doubt as to Mr. Joy’s willingness to goon the ticket, one of the gentlemen stated positively that Mr. Jvy had informed him this morning that he would accept the nomination on condition that a good man was selected for Circuit Judge. A candidate for Circuit Judge was selected and after alittle delay the gen- tleman wascommunicated with and informed of the action ofthe caucus. In response he appeared before the caucus and asked until 2 o’ clock this afternoon to consider the matter. The caucus after granting the request ad- the candidate re- ferred to as the selection of the caucus at Chairman Delano’s office this morning, at2o’clock this afternoon sent word to Mr. Delano that under the circumstances he would not consent to be a candidate before the Central Committee for the nomination for Circuit Judge. Chairman Delano was seen at his office this afternoon. When asked what course he deemed most advisable under the peculiar circurnstances he said: ‘*There are now four vacancies on the ticket. Lam surethat when the convention delegated to the Central Committee au- thority to fill any vacancies which might occur, it did not have in view the filling Klein, otf more than one position, or at best two. The nomination of Circuit Judge and Judge of the Court of Correction—in fact, for any judicial po- sitions, are of too much ituportance be be filled by the committee at a few days’ notice. The judicial oflices should be filled by the best men on both sides. Asa member of the Central Com- mittee I do not propose to assume a share of the responsibility of filling these vacancies. I have endeavored to smooth over the difficul- ties in the party ranks and avoid a climax. The convention simply adjourned, but not finally, aundcan be reconvened inafew days. ‘*This morning I called a number of promi- nent Republicans together, such as Messrs. Ellis, Klein, Taylor, Pollard, Fisher, Nagel and Rassieur, to consult upon the most available candidates for judicial positions, but we reached no determination. Democrats under Similar circumstances heid a new convention several years ago. Delegates to our convention after learning what has transpired are entitled to be heard and I think it advisable to call the convention together again. A num- ber of prominent Republicans concur with me in this opinion, and the matter will be brought to the attention of the Central Committee at its meeting to-morrow.’’ VASTINE’S ACCEPTANCE. Mr. Vastine’s letter of acceptance is as fol- lows: Rufus J. Delano, Esq., Chairman Republican City Committee: DEAR Sir—I herewith accept the norhination for the office of Judge of the Criminal Court of St. Louis, tendered me by the City Republican Convention, Ihave delayed my letter of acceptance for the reason that I have been notitied, and it bas been stated in the public press, that some of the other nominées were going to force me off the ticket; and, as I cannot be driven and will not withdraw under fire, I wished the opposi- tion to exhaust its ammunition, that 1 might learn, 80 far as possible, what open charges, if any, were made against me, that I might answer them once for aliin this letter of ac- ceptance, rather than in newspaper contro- versy. No man will expect me to notice covert attacks and insinuations that are made during a campaign by the assassin of char. acter, ‘‘who lieth in wait’’to do his secret work. Iam complained of, First, That I was guilty of unprofessional conduct in the release of a deed of trust belonging to Mr. J. P. Mullally, and the day after my nomination extracts from the case of Thomas vs. Johnson, where the facts relating to the release were inquired into, were garbled and thrown at me as a mud-ballin a three column publication of the Republican of the 2d inst. My full reply to the attack, published in the Republican of the 3d, and giving the true history of the mnatter, must have, been sufficient for any just man, even had not Mr. Muilally, than whom there is no more respectable or honorable man in this city, over his own signature, in the Republi- can of the same date, declared that ‘‘Mr. Vastine, in the matter of the release Of Maurice deed of trust, carried out our agreement and understanding to my entire satisfaction, with the same fidelity that has always marked his conduct.’’ Mr. Mullally is a Democrat, but with the | honor that has always characterized him, he would not see even a political opponent accused and be silent. 6 sige d secondly, The next charge is, that while practicing my profession, I have for a few years been interested in the livery s@ble at Olive street and Lindell avenue. This charge is true, and I have no apology to make for it. The livery business is u respectable business and many most respectable men in this city are @ngaged init. It should not be to my dis- credit if, so different from many lawyers, I have by prudence and economy saved some- thing from my practice and invested itina legitimate way. But if any gentleman on the ticket is so msthetic that he feels 1 ought to be snubbed on that account, ke can with raw; or he can remain and we will take the verdict of the people at the polls by t saak ofan. p y the vote received for It is proper for me, though, tos that if am elected I intend to dispose of my busine interest, so that, though S40 not@ive it any personal supervision, I may be unframmelled to devote ali of my time to the fufi and ener- getic discharge of my judicial dutig@s. Thirdly, Another charge agains@me is, that elieve they can trust them; that in case of the affirmance of thelt conv. tion they will have the manhood to, e he enalty, and not betray their confidence A H In this ease the bond is good, while bonds when the ight. oe often it has proven to be nothing but straw. It is so well known that if the McChesney case is reversed it will not be tried before me, but by some other Judge, as is always done in every case, civil and crim- inal, where the judge presiding in the court has been an attorney on either side of the cause. Fourthly, I also learn that the general charge is made against me that, asI have not devoted the latter years to the practice ol the criminal law, 1 am not properly fit todischarge the duties of Judge of the Criminal Court. In answer, it may bé panpes to refer to the fact that for four years I was Assistant Circuit Attorney of that Court, and for two years more I was its Circuit Attorney. But itis my opinion thac it is best that the Judge should net come upon the bench fresh from the surroundings and aroma of the Four Courts, and this opinion is greatly strengthened by the judicial administration of Judge Van Wagoner. He had scarcely ever been seen in the Criminal Court; but he has so discharged the duties of Judge as to com- mend him to the good opinion of all good citizens, and he has held his course with such impartiality, dignity and high character that nearly all the practitioners at his bar and the hangers-on about his court combined against him and have gotten their revenge in his defeat for a renomination. I might have remained silent, for, while I am not yet fully able to prove, Ihave every reason to believe that the opposition to me has not been made, by all the parties thereto, in good faith, for the reasons stated; but it haa its inception in a secret and sinster scheme by personal and professional friends of my opponent on the Democratic ticket in his interest and advantage. But I have preferred to meet the attack openly, and I have referred to all the charges that have been made against me that I know of, and I am ready to be tried, with the other candidates, at the bar of public opinion in the canvass, with or without their co-operation, or that of the press of our own party, without any fear of the result in the election returns. Now, if any candidate wishes to poseasa mock-martyr, by withdrawing from the ticket because I will not, itis his privilege; but he should be careful that he can consistently sus- tain the role of, ‘‘I am holier than thou,’’ and it is to be hoped that he will never submit his name to a convention again. I have been a resident of this city for thirty years, and while never a partisan, have al- ways been a consistent Republican. Tbe con- vention that nominated us was composéd of as respectable gentiemen as ever graced any convention. 1 was nominated by the vote of ninety delegates out of 146. How large a majority ought a candidate to have before the choice is binding upon all? Having been nominated, I shall not betray the trust re- posed in me by my friends; and if elected, I shall bring to the discharge of the duties of the office an industry that will never flag, and a devotion to duty that will insure the prompt and firm execution of the laws. Respectfully, J. P, VASTINE. St. Louis, October 7, 1886. The first news of the opposition in the Re- publican party to Judge Vastine’s candidacy and the subsequent developments in- cluding an announcement in ad vance of Vastine’s intention to accept the nomination, was published in detail in the Post-DIspaTcH. At last night’s meeting of the Republican Central Committee, the correspondence between Messrs. Vastine, Johnson and chairman Delano was made pub- lic. It is rather sharp and pointed on all sides; butit only confirms the statements previously published in the columns of the POsT- DISPATCE. THE CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. Vastine opened the correspondence with the following letter: EITHER DISHONORABLE OR COWARDLY, J. D. Johnson, Esq.: I take the liberty of saying to yon that it would be dishonorable in me to oppose your candidacy if you are support- ing me, andit would be cowardly in me to support yeu if youare opposing me. I1sug- gest a truce between us (the burialof the hatchet) to November 3, 1886. If you accept I think you can silence all opposition to me, and we both can be elected. Respectfully, J. P. VASTINE. St. Louis, October 3. To which Mr, Johnson replied: J. P. Vastine, Esq., City: DEAR 5ik—Your favor of to-day in which you ‘‘suggest a truce between us (the burial of the hatchet) to November 8. 1886,’’ is at hand. In answer, I desire to say that neither in the past have Il entertained, nor do I now entertain any feeling of personal antagonism towards you, so that there can be no occasion for a truce or burial of the hatchet. At the same time Lain opposed to your can- didacy upon the Republican city ticket for the position ot Judge of the Criminal Court, and candidly admitto you that I cannot sup- port you in your canvasstherefor. My rea- sons for this are based solely upon what I consider the interests of other candidates upon the ticket and the public welfare. Itis probably not necessary for me to state them more fullv in this connection, butif you wish I will giadly give them to you in detail. Feeling then as I do, I will even go so far as tosay that I cannot consent to accept the nomination for Judge of the Circuit Court, tendered tome by the convention, if you re- inain upon the ticket, inasmuch as such an acceptance would, under the rules of political ethics, pledge me to support the entire ticket, and this I cannot conscientiously do. Ihave spoken thus plainly because your proposition is entitled to a candid answer. Other of the candidates agree with me as to the propriety of your candidacy. Regretting that a controversy has arisen be- tween us upon such an important and delicate matter, l remain yours, very respectfully, J. D. JOHNSON, St. Louis, October 3. Ohairman Delano then took a banda: Jas. P. Vastine, Esq.: My DEAK Sik—I have submitted your letter to Mr. Johnson, and the inclosed is the an- swer, which Il send you at once, according to your request. The position which I am compelled to as- sume by virtue of my position as Chairman of the Republican Uentral Committee is not a pleasant one Lcan assure you, but believin that my duty is paramount to any persona friendly feelings and that the good of the Re- publican party and the present ticket is at stake, I whould, therefore, advise that you write me a short letter declining the accept- ance of the nomination. This in accordance with our conversation of this morning. I have the pleasure to remain most sincerely, Rurcs J. DELANO, St. Louis, October 3. Chairman. Vastine caught his second wind and hit back as follows: J. D. Johnson, Esq.: DEAR 5ik—In your letter of October 8, ’86, to me, you say: ‘‘Mv reasons for this are based solely upon whatI consider the interests of other candidates upon the ticket and the pub- lic welfare. Itis probably not necessary for me to state them in this connection, but if you wish I will gladly give them to you in de- tail.’’ Possibly I can remove all objections you havetome. Respectfuily, J. P. VAsTINE. St. Louis, October 4. Johnson closed his correspondence with Vastine with the following parting shot: J. P. Vastine, Esq., City: DEAR SIn—Yournote of yesterday reached me me to-day. It would be impossible for you to remove the objections I entertain to your can- didacy, or satisfy me of your eligibility for the position to which yeu aspire. in the face.of your professional career,the circumstances at- tending your nomination and the develop- ments affecting you personally as well as professionally in the case of Johnson vs. Thomas, anything you might say or do in ex- planation would necessarily have little effect upon the conclusions I have reached. Hence itis useless for us to parley further. In conclusion I desire to say that the op- position to your candidacy is too general and of too positive a character to be silenced by the actions or statements of either vou or myself. Veryrespectiudly, J. D. JOHNSON. October 5, 1836. Johnson then settled the matter by declin- ing the nomination: To the Republican City Central Committee: DEAR Srrs—The acceptance by Mr. J. P. Vas- tine of the nomination forthe office of Judge of the 8t. Louis Criminal Court compels me to decline the nomination for Judge of the St. Louis Circuit Court, tendered by the recent Republican City Convention. This is due to the fact that an acceptance of the nomination would, with Mr. Vastine upon the ticket, oblige me to support him in his candidacy for the office named, which I cannot conscientiously do. I, therefore, havethe honor to most re- spectfuliy decline the nomination tendered me. Very truly yours, J. D. JOHNSON, St. Louis, October 6. Trouble Ahead. Not to be outdone by the quarrelin the Re- publican ranks over the party nominees, the Democrats promise to come tothe front with a squabble of theirown over the means re- ‘ sorted to by certain central committeemen to nd admitti delegations holding the paF ey certificates nwithout investigating the charges made against them by opposing ele- ations, was part of a scheme to protect C. O. Mafit and seat the Tenth Ward delegation. It is stated as a fact that when Alex. Cudmore, representing the anti-Maffit delegation, rages at the committee-room door and asked if he was wanted to — = po en e reply, arenee toa ; Vealled for and ad- rwards Maffit was iaed to the room to _ tell what he knew about the election. ere Oudmore made another effort to get before the committee, but failed to accomplish his paspess. The =— was subsequently ded in Maffit’s favor. oetne charge that other contesting delegations were sacrificed in order that the committee might adopt a general rale of action with ref- erence to contests for the purpose of saving Maffit is borne ont by the fact that the contest- ing delegations in the Fourth and Lalor fourth Wards had very strong cases, with a preponderance of evidence in their possession showing that fraud had been practiced at the primaries, In the Twenty-fourth Ward the party oppesed to Geo. McDermott, Central Comnmitteeman, were denied the presence of a representative in the polling places, in direct violation of a resolu- tion adopted by the Democratic Central Com- mittee. At the Clardy Congressional prima- ries, when both parties had eaual representa- tion, the anti-McDermott crowd polled a ma- jority of 196 votes. In the last primaries Dem- ocrats opposed to McDermott were forcibly ejected fromthe polls. The anti-McDermott party, to the number of 503 voters, have avreed to bolt the ticket unless the Central Committee will give thema new election for Central Committeeman. In the Fourth Ward the McGarry, or anti- committeeman party, charge that the number of votes polled by Committeeman Moore ex- ceeded the actual registration ofthe party i the ward. Inspite ofthe fact that the con testing delegations from the Fourth and Twenty-fourth Wards supported their cases with affidavits they were thrown out after scant consideration. HOW IT WAS DONE. Discussing the action of the Committee on Credentials of the Democratic convention with a PostT-DISPATCH reporter this morning, Mr. Fred Young, a Democratic Central Com- mnitteeman from the ye he es ward, who was amember of the Credentials Committee, said: ‘‘Yes, I am cognizant of the high-handed action of the committee in ignoring the contests in the Fourth, Tenth and Twenty-fourth Wards. I was on the committee and fought hard in the interests of a Why, it was a d—— shame the way Swift, Fruin and that crowd carried on. Iama good Democrat, and am opposed to riding down any man without giving him a square deal. This the committee re- fused to do, and inthe face of the most glaring evidences of fraud and ballot-box stuffing, a man by the name of Sweeney, who was used as a cat’s-paw, moved thatthe returns of the judges be accepted as final. I fought the mo- tion, claiming thatthe judges had been ap- pointed by the Central Committeemen and were, of course, friends of the committee, and that where evidences of corruption ex- isted it was our duty to investigate the charges, particularly when the charges were supported by arftidavits as was the case in the contests in the wards men- tioned. Why, inone precinct in the Fourth Ward contest, the books of the Recorder of Voters were produced, showing that in the last election Francis received about 300 votes and Ewing about the same number, makinga total of about 600 votes polled by both parties; yet the returns of the committeeman’s judges showed that 972 votes were cast at the Demo- cratic primary in that precinct. Now, if this is not sufficient prima facie evidence of ballot-box stuffing, then I don’t know what fraudis. In spite of this showing, however, a majority of the committee sup- ported the motion of Mr. Sweeney, and there was no investigation of charges in the other contests. As soon as I saw the drift of affairs I remark that it was a shame that such pro- ceedings should disgrace a Democratic con- vention and quit the fight, for it was all cut and dried.’’ Brady Declines. Mr. Hugh Brady, who was last night nom- inated for Representative in the Fourth Dis- trict, this morning addressed the following communication to the Central Committee: To the Democratic City Central Committee: GENTLEMEN—I beg leave to decline the nom- ination for the position of Representative from the Fourth Representative District. My private and business affairs compel me to take this course. Thanking the convention for the honor con- ferred, and pledging myself to the support of the nominee and of the party, I remain Yours most respectfully, HivucH J. BRADY.

THE CATTLE CONTAGION, The Dairy Interest of Chicago Taking Ac. tion—The Afflicted Cattle. CHICAGO, October 7.—The condition of affairs about the quarantined cattle sheas is especially unchanged. While there was a smaller per- centage of deaths among the animals yester- day, there was a slight increase in the number o2 cases reported, and anxiety among stock- men was greater than on the previous day. Dr. DeWolf paida visit tothe infected dig- trict late in the day, probably for the purpose of satisfying himself as to the manner in which the order,for the separation of the sick and well animals was being carried out. The condition of affairs was evidently not sat- isfactory, for on his return he held a consuilta- tion with City Attorney Washburne relative to the promulgation of his order prohibiting the sale of distillery milk. The order wag completed and will go into effect to-day. Health officers will be placed at each of the distilleries to compel submission to the order. A delegation of milkmen, representing the milk interests of three of the largest distiller- ies, headed by A. 5 Trude, waited on the State Board last night to pray for relief from the threat- ened interference with their business. Mr. Trude made a short speech in which he said that, asthe State had placed a quarantine at the sheds and had taken charge of the cattle, it should pay for their keeping. If the men were prohibited from disposing of their milk or reaping any revenue from the animals,the powe1 which prevented them from 80 ey must feed the cattle. He quoted de- cisions from the Supreme Court of Ohio and other States on this point, and undertook to warn the commission that it would be made the basis of future litigation unless due heed were paid toit. The board hela a consuita- tion, but arrived at no definite conclusion in regard tothe matter. It will probably seek legal advice to-day. Equal to Any $7.50 Shoe in the City.

Mortimer Shaw was selected for Temporary Secretary unanimously. It was moved that members of the commit- tees be selected from wards. An amendment was offered to first divide the convention into wards for this purpose. This caused consid- erable discussion. A substitute was offered to name delegates from each assembly and union. This was again substituted by a motion that the chair appoint a committee of fifteen on credentials which would be empowered to di- vide the convention by wards. This motion carried. A committee of fifteen was named, as fol- lows: Messrs. Murray, Bovard, Allen, Ww he- lan, Madiera, Cassel, Toohey, Hendricks, Murphy, Steve Ryan, Palmer, Miller, Carlin, Hanley and Phelps.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo., October 7.—There are few new particulars in regard to the explosion of the Mascotte. The Coroner is holding an inquest on all the bodies of those dead by burns and drowning. The captain and pilots of the Eagle were be- fore the jury yesterday, but their testimony was withdrawn, sv that their words cannot be given, but the substance they did all in their power to reach and rescue the passengers from the Mascotte. Ifthey had run near the Mascotte they would bave burned their boat, Capt. Ebaugh also denounced the crew of the Mascotte for cowardice and self- preservation and emphasized his statement with an oath. Capt. Thompson of the Mascotte is now on the stand and says that he knew that Capt. Ebaugh’s state-room was locked, and that he had trouble getting his own pants out of them. He says that if Capt. Ebaugh had run the bow of his boat avainst the wheelof the Mascotte, he could have pushed her ashore without danger of fire, as the Eagie has a large deck and the cabin sits away back. A DECKHAND'S STATEMENT. One of the deckhands, Peter Alexander of the Eagle, in an interview says: ‘‘I was at dinner and I beard the Mascotte’s bell, and ran in the guards to see what it was. Saw steam and thought she was blowing off and went back to my dinner. Soon aftersome one said ‘the boat isafire.’ Iran out again and saw the black smoke coming out amidship from the boiler deck. Capt. Ebaugh stood quietly looking at it and smoking a cigar, and did no; seem to care aheut helping. Some one put off the yaw) a I do not believe the Captain knew any- thing aboutit’’ The testimony of the Eagle officers exonerates thein and denounces the Mascotte’s officers. The Mascotte’s officers all unite in DENOUNCING CAPT. EBAUGH. in most bitter terms. The testimony of all rescued passengers coincides with the Mas- cotte efficers’ statements. The full list of the lost among the passengers are: Judge HAGER and wife, Miss JULIA RABICH, Mrs. W. H. WHEELER and two children, Mias AMELIA KRUEGER, FrRFD LIND, all of Cape Girardeau; Mrs. JOHN MILLER and two children of Shelby- ville, Ill., BODIES RECOVERED Of the crew are those of J.

Such was case with the eleven who died. Those who writing were not badly burned. The name of that Illinois farmer who so nobly rescued the nine persons is Mat Hughes of Union Point, Ill.

HEMMED IN BY FLAMES. Terrible Plight of Employes in a Burning Factory—Roasted Alive. NEW York«K, October 7.—A fire broke out this morning early inthe four-story factory build- ing, Nos. 63 to 67 Bayard street, It is David Block’s old tinware factory and has been on fire a number of times before. Since the tinware factory has been removed, Taylor’s cloak manufactory and quilt-makers have taken possession of it. Eight different firms have shops in it. In the three cloak manufactories of Samuel Paul, Joseph Weiner and Nathan Fried, on the fourth floor, between fifty and seventy-five men, women and chil- dren were at work when the fire occurred. Samuel Paul’s employes escaped by the east stairway, which was unobstructed, to the street. The employes of the other establishnients could not escape by the west stairway, their path being blocked by flames and dense smoke to face which meant death. The fire was below them in Hollander’s quilt factory. The frightened employes then made for the roof of the building. The last reached the flat- roof with clothes afire, and half smothered. Already the just deserted rooms were on fire, and to stay on the roof was to perish, because the flames were breaking through the scuttle. Adjoining the factory was atwo-story house with a peak roof. To leap to it was perilous, but to remain was certain death. The em- ployes shrank back in despair, and a large crowd gathered in the street below. With shrieks of terror, that were echoed in a loud wail from the street, men and women flung themselves off. Minnie Rogansky, a young woman living at 64 Bayard street, fell in the street on her head and was mortally hurt, her skull being crushed in. She was removed to the hospital. A little boy who was clinging to the coping of the peaked house was rescued by Paul J. Shappell, an old volunteer fireman, with the aid of some citi- zens and the police. The police went up on the roof of the tall tenement, No. 71, and threw a rope down to the factory employes still left on the roof of the burning building. and they were rescued one after the other. Others were taken into a window trom the peaked-roofed house. Hyman Roberts hurt his arm badly. All this took but a few minutes and then the police and firemen put up ladders. At this time the roof of the factory was on fire, but the firemen were soon masters of the situation. A close search of the burned rooms soon showed that nobody had been burned to death. The loss on building and contents will foot up $20,000. Roasted Alive. CHICAGO, October 7.—Two children, a boy, aged 10 years and his sister three years younger, were burned to deathin their beds at No. 1022 Warren avenue by a fire which broke out about 2:50 this morning. The house is a two-story frame, the home of George Davis. The flames were already under great headway when discovered by the neighbors who turned in an alarm from the box at the corner of Wood and Madison streets. The occupants of the house had not been aroused at the time the discovery was made and such as saved them- selves were obliged to jumpfrom the upper story windows, the first floor of the building having been completely enveloped in flames by this time. The mother of the children burned, was very severely, if not fatally injured, and had one arm broken in several places. The firemen made desperate en- deavors to save the children. Death. BUFFALO, N. Y., October 7.—A special to the Commercial from Olean says: At Belfast this morning in adense fog two freight trains on the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia Railroad collided, badly wrecking the engines and many cars. The caboose and several cars of one train were burned. Conductor Frank Ingram of Olean was in the caboose and was burned to death.

NEW YorRK, October 7.—The Times this morning says: If the arrangements entered into lastevening between representatives of the County Democracy and Tammany Hall is ratified by the County conventions of those factions, as it undoubtedly will be, there will beaunionon a local Democratic ticket this fall from the Mayoralty down. The choice of a candidate for Mayor was narrowed down to ex-Mayor Edward Cooper, Controller Edward V. Loew and George W. Quint- tard, of the Quintard Iron Works. The negotiations for aunion was carried on between representatives of both organizations through the mediations of Gov. David B. Hill, more or less representing the interests of Tammany Hall, and Col. Daniel 8. Lamont of Washington. By the agreement entered into the county Democracy is to be allowed to se- lect the candidate for Mayor to run ona union Democratic ticket, fromthe names of Cooper Loew, and Cuintard, and isto be per- mittted to name the candidate for the Su- preme Court bench or for the vacancy in the Superior§ Court. Tammany Hall is to ratify the choice of the County Democracy for Mayor and for one or other of the judgesbips, and in return the County Democracy County Con- vention is toindorse Tammany’s candidates for the remaining judgeship and for register. A union is also to be had in most, if not all, of the Congressional and Assembly districts on candidates for Congress, the Assembly and the Board of Aldermen. Secretery Manning is alsoin thecity. Col. Lamont is credited with having done an ex- ceedingly hard day’s work yesterday. The Sun thus records the movements of the prominent politicians: ‘*Of course the real reason for Mr. Lamont and Mr. Manning com- ing here is politics. Gov. Hill, although he had;to be present to review the militia, can- not help expressing some kind of an opinion of the political situation in the city and what is needed to straighten things out. In the afternoon Mr. Lamont called on ex-Mayor Cooper. He also saw Mr. Manning and visited Gov. Hill at the Hoffinan House. Collector Magone called at the Fifth. Avenue in the afternoon and saw Mr. Lamont and presum- ably Mr. Manning. Besides thts, Mr. Lamont saw, incidentally, several mighty men in local politics.’’ 810 Worth of Wear for 83.

Unsuccessful Attempts to Fill the Vacancies on the List. An Important Caucus at Delano’s Office— Jacob Klein Refuses to Take Johnson’s Place—The Convention to Meet Monday —Ballot-Box Stuffing at Democratic Pri. maries—Charges of Fraud Against Cen. tral Committeemen—Gossip. As the quickest and best way out of the numerous difficulties into which the Repub- licans have been plunged bythe declinations of different candidates, prominent members of the party have concluded to _ re- quest the Central Committee to reconvene the delegates to the City Convention and a new convention will be held at Central Turner Hall next Monday morning. A partofthe planis to secure the withdrawal of all of the candidates remaining on the ticket and nominate a full ticket. At a meeting of the Republican Vity Central Committee, last night, Messrs. J. D. Johnson and Dave Murphy withdrew from the Repub- lican ticket as candidates for the offices of Circuit Judge and Judge of the Court of Crim- inal Correction respectively. This action was influenced by the decision of J. P. Vastine to accept the nomination for Criminal Judge. At 10 o’clock this morning a meeting of rep- resentative Republican lawyers was held at the office of Rufus J. Delano, Chairman of the Re- publican City Central Committee, called by Mr. Delano for the purpose of selecting good candidates for Circuit Judge and Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction, to recommend to the Central Committee suitable persons to fill the vacancies occa- sioned by the withdrawal of Messrs. Johnson and Murphy. Among those present were Messrs. Smith P. Galt, Seneca N. Taylor, Pol- lard and Fisher. Mr. Jake Klein,who had re- ceived an invitation, dropped in toward the end of the caucus. Mr. Delano stated briefly to the gentlemen the object of the meeting, and a discussion followed on the merits of several candidates whose names were proposed. For Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction Mr. Charlies F. Joy appeared to be the favorite. There being some doubt as to Mr. Joy’s willingness to goon the ticket, one of the gentlemen stated positively that Mr. Joy had informed him this morning that he would accept the nomination on condition that a good man was selected for Circuit Judge. A candidate for Cireuit Judge was selected and after alittle delay the gen- tleman wascommunicated with and informed of the action ofthe caucus. In response he appeared before the caucus and asked until 2 o’ clock this afternoon to consider the matter. The caucus after granting the request ad- journed. Mr. Jacob the candidate re- ferred to as the’ selection of the caucus at Chairman Delano’s office this morning, at 2o’clock this afternoon sent word to Mr. Delano that under the circumstances he would not consent to be a candidate before the Central Committee for the nomination for Circuit Judge. Chairman Delano was seen at his office this afternoon. When asked what course he deemed most advisable under the peculiar circurnstances he said: ‘*‘There are now four vacancies on the ticket. Lam surethat when the convention delegated to the Central Committee au- thority to ‘fill any vacancies which might occur, it did not have in view the filling ot more than one position, or at best two. The nomination of Circuit Judge and Judge of the Court of Correction—in fact, for any judicial po- sitions, are of too much iuiportance be be filled by the committee at a few days’ notice. The judicial oflices should be filled by the best men on both sides. Asa member of the Central Com- mittee Ido not propose to assume a share of the responsibility of filling these vacancies. I have endeavored to smooth over the difficul- ties in the party ranks and avoid a climax. The convention simply adjourned, but not finally, audcan be reconvened inafew days. ‘*This morning I called a number of promi- nent Republicans together, such as Messrs. Ellis, Kiein, Taylor, Pollard, Fisher, Nagel and Rassieur, to consult upon the most available candidates for judicial positions, but we reached no determination. Democrats under similar circumstances heid a new convention several years ago. Delegates to our convention after learning what has transpired are entitled to be heard and I think it advisable to call the convention together again. A num- ber of prominent Republicans concur with mein this opinion, and the matter will be brought to the attention of the Central Committee at its meeting to-morrow,’’ VASTINE’S ACCEPTANCE. Mr. Vastine’s letter of acceptance is as fol- lows: Rufus J. Delano, Esq., Chairman Republican City Committee: DEAR Sir—I herewith accept the nomination for the oftice of Judge of the Criminal Court of St. Louis, tendered me by the City Republican Convention, Ihave delayed my letter of acceptance for the reason that I have been notitied, and it bas been stated in the public press, that some of the other nominées were going to force me off the ticket; and, as I cannot be driven and will not withdraw under fire, I wisbed the opposi- tion to exhaust its ammunition, that | might learn, 80 far as possible, what open charges, if any, were made against me, that I might answer them once for allinthis letter of ac- ceptance, rather than in newspaper contro- versy. No man will expect me to notice covert attacks and insinuations that are made during a campaign by the assassin of char- acter, ‘‘who lieth in wait’’ to do his secret work. Iam complained of, First, That I was guilty of unprofessional conduct in the release of a deed of trust belonging to Mr. J. P. Mullally, and the day after my nomination extracts from the case of Thomas vs. Johnson, where the facts relating to the release were inquired into, were garbled and thrown at me as a mud-ballin a three column publication of the Republican of the 2d inst. My full reply to the attack, published in the Republican of the 3d, and giving the true history of the matter, must have, been sufficient for any just man, even had not Mr. Muilally, than whom there is no more respectabie or honorable man in this city, over his own signature, in the Republi- can of the same date, deciared that ‘‘Mr. Vastine, in the matter. of the release of Maurice deed of trust, carried out our agreement and understanding to my entire satisfaction, with the same fidelity that has always marked his conduct.’’ Mr. Mullally is a Democrat, but with the Klein, j honorthat has always characterized him, he would not see even a political opponent falsely accused and be silent. secondly, The next charge is, that while practicing my profession, I have for a few years been interested in the tivery sS@ble at Olive street and Lindell avenue. This charge is true, and I have no apology to make for it. The livery business is a respectable business, and many most respectable men in this city are engaged init. It should not be to my dis- credit if, so different from many lawyers, I have by prudence and economy saved some- thing from my practice and invested itina legitimate way. But if any gentleman on the ticket is so msthetic that he feels 1 ought to be snubbed on that account, Le can withdraw; or he can remain and we will take the verdict of the people at the polis by the vote received for each of us. It is proper for me, though, to state, that if am elected I intend to pe of my busine interest, so that, though I do notjive it any personal supervision, [may be untrammelied to devote ali of my time to the full and ener- gétic discharge of my judicial dutids. Thirdly, Another charge against me is, that ' Iwas the attorney for Warren F. MoChesne , and am now on his bond in his appeal ns e Supreme Court. This is also true, and I ave no apology to make for it. It is well mows that lawyers frequently f° on their c = bonds when they believe they can trust them; that in case of the affirmance of their convic- tion they will have the manhood to take = enalty, and not betray their confidence by Fight. In this case the bond is good, while too often it has proven to be nothing but straw. It is so well known that if the McChesney case is reversed it will not be tried before me, but by some other Judge, as is always done in every case, civil and crim- inal, where the judge presiding in the court has been an attorney on either side of the cause. Fourthly, I also learn that the general charge is made against me that, asI have not devoted the latter years to the practice of the criminal law, I am not properly fit todischarge the duties of Judge of the Criminal Court. In answer, it may be 5 ye to refer to the fact that for four years I was Assistant Circuit Attorney of that Court, and for two years more I was its Circuit Attorney. But it is my opinion thac it is best that the Judge should net come upon the bench fresh from the surroundings and aroma of the Four Courts, and this opinion is greatly strengthened by the judicial administration of Judge Van Wagoner. He had scarcely ever been seen in the Criminal Court; but he has so discharged the duties of Judge as to com- mend him to the good opinion of all good citizens, and he has held his course with such impartiality, dignity and high character that nearly ali the practitioners at his barand the hangers-on about his court combined against him and have gotten their revenge in his defeat for a renomination. I might have remained silent, for, while Il am not yet fully able to prove, Ihave every reason to believe that the opposition to me has not been made, by all the parties thereto, in good faith, for the reasons stated; but it haa its inception in a secret and sinster scheme by personal and professional friends of my opponent on the Democratic ticket in his interest and advantage. But I have preferred to meet the attack openly, and I have referred to all the charges that have been made against me that I know of, and I am ready to be tried, with the other candidates, at the bar of public opinion in the canvass, with or without their co-operation, or that of the press of our own party, without any fear of the result in the election returns. Now, if any candidate wishes to pose asa mock-martyr, by withdrawing from the ticket because I willnot, itis his privilege; but he should be careful that, he can consistently sus- tain the role of, ‘‘I1 am holier than thou,’’ and it is to be hoped that he will never submit his name to a convention again. I have been a resident of this city for thirty years, and while never a partisan, have al- ways been a consistent Republican. Tbe con- vention that nominated us was composéd of as respectable gentiemen as ever graced any convention. 1 was nominated by the vote of ninety delegates out of 146. How large a majority ought a candidate to have before the choice is binding upon all? Having been nominated, I shall not betray the trust re- posed in me by my friends; and if elected, I shall bring to the discharge of the duties of the office an industry that will never flag, and a devotion to duty that will insure the prompt and firm execution of the laws. Respectfully, J. P, VASTINE. St. Louis, October 7, 1886. The first news of the opposition in the Re- publican party to Judge Vastine’s candidacy and the subsequent developments in- cluding an announcement in ad- vance of Vastine’s intention to accept the nomination, was published in detail in the Post-DispaTcH. At last night’s meeting of the Republican Central Committee, the correspondence between Messrs. Vastine, Johnson and chairman Delano was made pub- lic. It is rather sharp and pointed on all sides; butit only confirms the statements previously published in the columns of the POST-DISPATCE. THE CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. Vastine opened the correspondence with the following letter: LITHER DISHONORABLE OR COWARDLY, J. D. Johnson, Esq.: I take the liberty of saying to yon that it would be dishonorable in me to oppose your candidacy if you are support- ing me, andit would be cowardly in me to support ycu if you are opposing me. Isug- gest a truce between us (the burialof the hatchet) to November 3, 1886. If you accept I think you can silence all opposition to me, and we both can be elected. Respectfully, J. P. VASTINE. St. Louis, October 3. To which Mr. Johnson replied: J. P. Vastine, Fsq., City: DEAR S51k—Your favor of to-day in which you ‘‘suggest a truce between us (the burial of the hatchet) to November 8. 1886,’’ isathand. In answer, I desiré to say that neither in the past have l entertained, nor do I now entertain any feeling of personal antagonism towards you, so that there can be no occasion for a truce or burial of the hatchet. At the same time I ain opposed to your can- didacy upon the Republican city ticket for the position of Judge of the Criminal Court, and candidly admitto you that 1 cannot sup- port you in your canvasstherefor. My rea- sons for this are based solely upon what I consider the interests of other candidates upon the ticket and the public welfare. It is probably not necessary for me to state them more fully in this connection, but if you wish I will giadly give them to you in detail. Feeling then as Ido, I will even go so far as to say that I cannot consent to accept the nomination for Judge of the Circuit Court, tendered tome by the convention, if you re- main upon the ticket, inasmuch as such an acceptance would, under the rules of political ethics, pledge me to support the entire ticket, and this I cannot conscientiously do. Ihave spoken thus plainly because your proposition is entitled to a candid answer. Other of the candidates agree with me as to the propriety of your candidacy. Regretting that a controversy has arisen be- tween us upon such an important and delicate matter, lremain yours, very respectfully, J. D. JOHNSON, St. Louis, October 38. Chairman Deiano then took a banda: Jas. P. Vastine, Esq.: My DEAR 5Ik—I have submitted your letter to Mr. Johnson, and the inclosed is the an- swer, which Il send you at once, according to your request. The position which I am compelled to as- sume by virtue of my position as Chairman of the Republican Central Committee is not a pleasant one lcan assure you, but believing that my duty is paramount to any personal friendly feelings and that the good of the Re- publican party and the present ticket is at stake, I whould, therefore, advise that you write me ashort letter declining the accept- ance of the nomination. This in accordance with our conversation of this morning. 1 have the pleasure to remain most sincerely, Rurus J. DELANO, St. Louis, October 3. Chairman. Vastine caught his second wind and hit back as follows: J. D. Johnson, Esq.: DEAR Sik—In your letter of October 8, ’86, to me, you say: ‘‘Mv reasons for this are based solely upon whatI consider the interests of other candidates upon the ticket and the pub- lic welfare. Itis probably not necessary for me to state them in this connection, but if you wish I will gladly give them to you in de- tail.’’ Possibly I can remove all objections you havetome. Respectfuily, ° J. P. VAsTINE. St. Louis, October 4. —— Johnson closed his correspondence with Vastine with the following parting shot: J. P. Vastine, Esq., City: DEAR SIn—Your note of yesterday reached me me to-day. It would be impossible for you to remove the objections I entertain to your can- didacy, or satisfy me of your eligibility for the position to which yeuaspire. in the face .of your professional career,the circumstances at- tending your nomination and the develop- ments affecting you personally as well as professionally in the case of Johnson vs. Thomas, anything you might say or do in ex. planation would necessarily have little effect upon the conclusions I have reached. Hence itis useless for us to parley further. In conclusion I desire to say that the op- position to your candidacy is too general and of too positive a character to be silenced by the actions or statements of either you or wnyseilf. Veryrespectfudly, J.D. JOHNSON. October 5, 1836. Johnson then settled the matter by declin- ing the nomination: To the Republican City Central Committee: DFAR Stks—The acceptance by Mr. J. P. Vas- tine of the nomination forthe office of Judge of the St. Louis Criminal Court compels me to decline the nomination for Judge of the St. Louis Circuit Court, tendered by the recent Republican City Convention. This is due to the fact that an acceptance of the nomination would, with Mr. Vastine upon the ticket, oblige me to support him in his candidacy for the office named, which I cannot conscientiously do. I, therefore, have the honor to most re- spectfully decline the nomination tendered me. Very truly yours, J. D. JOHNSON, St. Louis, October 6. Trouble Ahead. Not to be outdone by the quarrel in the Re- publican ranks over the party nominees, the Democrats promise to come to the front with a squabble of theirown over the means re- sorted to by ceftain central committeemen to carry the Democratic primaries for the elec- tion of delegates tothe last convention. It is charged that the action ofthe Commi on Credentials, in the nvention P, in accepting the returns A. the judges and clerks of election as final and admitting del ions holding the judges’ certificates, without investigatin the charges made against them by opposing dele- ations, was part of a scheme to protect CO. CO. affit and seat the Tenth Ward delegation. It is stated as a fact that when Alex. Cudmore representing the anti-Mafiit delegation, et at the committee-room door and asked if he was wanted to agg on the contest, he re- ceived a negative reply, and a short time afterwards Maffit was called for and ad- mitted to the room to _ tell what he knew about the election. Subsequently Cudmore made another effort to get his case before the committee, but failed to accomplish his purpose. The contest was subsequently Geckaed ta Maffit’s favor. The charge that other contesting delegations were sacrificed in order that the committee might adopt a general rule of action with ref- erence to contests for the purpose of saving Maffit is borne ont by the fact that the contest- ing delegations in the Fourth and Twenty- fourth Wards had very strong cages, with rf) preponderance of evidence in their possession showing that fraud had been practiced at the primaries, In the Twenty-fourth Ward the party opposed to Geo. McDermott, Central Commmitteeman, were denied the presence of a representative in the polling places, in direct violation of a resolu- tion adopted by the Democratic Central Com- mittee. At the Clardy Congressional prima- ries, when both parties had equal representa- tion, the anti-McDermott crowd polled a ma- jority of 196 votes. In the last primaries Dem- ocrats opposed to McDermott were forcibly ejected fromthe polls. The anti-McDermott party, to the number of 503 voters, have avreed to bolt the ticket unless the Central Committee will give thema new election for Central Committeeman. In the Fourth Ward the McGarry, or anti- committeeman party, charge that the number of votes polled by Committeeman Moore ex- ceeded the actual registration ofthe party ir the ward. In spite of the fact that the con testing delegations from the Fourth and Twenty-fourth Wards supported their cases with affidavits they were thrown out after scant consideration. HOW IT WAS DONE. Discussing the action of the Committee on Credentials of the Democratic convention with a PostT- DISPATCH reporter this morning, Mr. Fred Young, a Democratic Central Com- mitteeman from the Twenty-third ward, who was amember of the Credentials Committee, said: ‘*Yes, am cognizant of the high-handed action of the committee in ignorin the contests in the Fourth, Tenth and Twenty-fourth Wards. I was on the committee and fought hard in the interests of gg Why, it was a d—— shame the way Swift, Fruin and that crowd carried on. ILama good Democrat, and am opposed to riding down any man without giving him a square deal. This the committee re- fused to do, and inthe face of the most glaring evidences of fraud and ballot-box stuffing, a man by the name of Sweeney, who was used as a cat’s-paw, moved thatthe returns of the judges be accepted as final. I fought the mo- tion, claiming thatthe judges had been ap- pointed by the Central Committeemen and were, of course, friends of the committee, and that where evidences of corruption ex- isted it was our duty to investigate the charges, particularly when the charges were supported by aflidavits as was the case in the contests in the wards men- tioned. Why, inone precinct in the Fourth Ward contest, the books of the Recorder of Voters were produced, showing that in the last election Francis received about 300 votes and Ewing about the same number, makinga total of about 600 votes polled by both parties; yet the returns of the committeeman’s judges showed that 972 votes were cast at the Demo- cratic primary in that precinct. Now, if this is not sufficient prima facie evidence of ballot-box stuffing, then I don’t know what fraudis. In spite of this showing, however, a majority of the committee sup- ported the motion of Mr. Sweeney, and there was no investigation of charges in the other contests. As soon as I saw the drift of affairs I remark that it was a shame that such pro- eeedings should disgrace a Democratic con- vention and quit the fight, for it was all cut and dried.’’ Brady Declines. Mr. Hugh Brady, who was last night nom- inated for Representative in the Fourth Dis- trict, this morning addressed the following communication to the Central Committee: To the Democratic City Central Committee: GENTLEMEN—I beg leave to decline the nom- ; ination for the position of Representative from the Fourth Representative District. My private and business affairs compel me to take this course. Thanking the convention for the honor con- ferred, and pledging myself to the support of the nominee and of the party, I remain Yours most respectfully, HvueuH J. BRADY, St. Louis, Mo., October 7, 1886. Gossip. Democratic candidates for the Legfslature were nominated last night as follows: In the Second District—Chas. F. Noland, Vernon W. Knapp, Jas. Shaw and P. G. Curran. Third District—Frank Curtis, Fred Walsh and J. W. Drabelle. Fourth District—H. J. Brady, M. J. Walsh, W. H. O’Brien and J. F. Walton.

CHICAGO, October 7,—The condition of affairs about the quarantined cattle sheas is especially unchanged. While there was a smaller per- centage of deaths among the animals yester- day, there was a slight increase in the number oO: cases reported, and anxiety among stock- men was greater than on the previous day. Dr. DeWolf paida visit tothe infected dis- trict late in the day, probably for the purpose of satisfying himself as to the manner in which the order.for the separation of the sick and well animals was being carried out. The condition of affairs was evidently not gsat- isfactory, for on his return he held a consulta- tion with City Attorney Washburne relative to the promulgation of his order prohibiting the sale of distillery milk. The order wag completed and will go into effect to-day. Health officers will be placed at each of the distilleries to compel submission to the order. A delegation of milkmen, representing the milk interests of three of the largest distiller- ies, headed by A. 5. Trude, waited on the State Board last night to pray for relief from the threat- ened interference with their business. Mr. Trude made a short speech in which he said that, asthe State had placed a quarantine at the sheds and had taken charge of the cattle, it should pay for their keeping. If the men were prohibited from disposing of their milk or reaping any revenue from the animals,the powe1 which prevented them from 80 ae must feed the cattle. He quoted de- cisions from the Supreme Court of Ohio and other States on this point, and undertook to warn the commission that it would be made the basis of future litigation unless due heed were paid toit. The board held a consulta- tion, but arrived at no definite conclusion in regard tothe matter. It will probably seek legal advice to-day. Equal to Any $7.50 Shoe in the City.

Judge Treat to-day in the United States Cir- cuit Court directed the United States Marshal to notify Richard D. Lancaster,custodian of the building that the Federal court-rooms and offices must be immediately supplied with the necessary heating arrange- ments. A caustic order was pre- pared on the subject calling attention to the fact that in past seasons the defective heating arrangements had resulted in delaying the administration of justice and causing injury to the health of the Judges and clerks and persons in attendance upon the courts. The Marshal was instructed to take the answer of Mr. Lancaster in writing and to obtain a definite compliance with the terms of theorder or a refusal thereof, in order that the court may at once take action, It is claimed that nothing has been done during the summer months to place the heat- ing i yy of the court-rooms in shape for use when the chilly mornings set in.

A BUSY SESSION OF THE TOILERS AT APOLLO THEATER TO-DAY. Organization Fffected by Wards and Com- mittees Named—Proposition to Put a Full City and Congressional and Legislative Labor Ticket in the Field. The convention of the United Labor Party was held to-day at the Apollo Theater,Fourth, near Poplar street. The hour set down in the call was 9:30 a. m., but long before that one delegates and workingmen in sympathy with the movement had gathered in large crowds to discuss the contemplated work. The pro- posed plan was new, the organization com- plicated, and the programme not fully made out, but the delegates’ set to the work understandingly, and made up a convention, which, asa whole, was as intelli- gent as either of the local party conventions recently held in this city. There was a lack of corner caucusing and buzzing, and a gen- eral good humor glossed over the earnestness that could be read in every face. No vapory avitators were to be seen inthe gatherings. The Mr. Oftings were conspicuously absent. The convention Was largely constituted of young mene THE CALL and basis of representation under which the convention is held was issued by Chairman John P. Marnell of the Conference Committee ceil: author ae j *\A ash, , ‘Representation in this convention shall be as follows: Each and every trade and labor orvanization within the various wards of the eity shall be entitled to three delegates for the first 100 members or less, and to one delegate for each additional 100 members or majority fraction thereof, said delegates to be chosen ata mass-meeting of the organizations On or before Wednesday, October 6, 1836. as The aims and objects of the United Labor artv and to-day’s convention are embraced n the following {from the Conference Coi- mittee’s circular: ‘‘Believing that the aggressiveness of mo- nopoly and organized Capital, unless checked, will eventually burden and degrade the indus- trial masses of this country to a state of hope- less pauperization, we deelare it to be the im nerative duty of all who desire a perpetuity of the blessings vouchsafed the people by the jeroic founders of the republic, to join usin an eiiort to place a check upon unjust accumu- ion and the power for evil of aggregated “This mueh desired object can be accom- plished ony by the thorough unity of all who obey the divine injunction, ‘In the sweat of thy brow shalt thou eat bread.’ “And believing that these objects can soonest obtuin recognition and proper and equal ad- justment through Jegislation, we hereby de- clare our firm and unalterable purpose to stand unitedly at that palladium of American liberty, the ballot-box, in the support only of such candidates as are irrevocably pledged to such remedial legislation as the interests of labor demands.’’ Among the more specific OBJECTS OF THE PARTY andthe aims which it is hoped wll soonest be realized are the following: The recognition, by incorporation, of trades’ unions, orders and such other associa- tions as may be organized by the working Imasses to improve their condition and pro- tect their rights. The enactment of laws to compel corpora- tions to pay theiremployes weekly in lawful money forthe labor of the preceding week, and giving mechanics ana laborers a first lien upon the product of their labor to the extent oO: their full wages. The abolition of the contract system on national, State and municipal work. The prohibition by law of the employment of children under 15 years of agein workshops, tines and factories. To prohibit the hiring out of convict labor. That a graduated income tax be levied. THE FURTHER AIMS an objects are set forth as follows: To make industrial and moral worth, not Wealth. the true standard of individual and nutional greatness. To secure to workers the full enjoyment of the wealth they create, sufficient leisure in which to develop their intellectual, moral and Bocial faculties; allof the benefits, recreation and pleasures of association; in a word, to enable them to share in the gains and honors of advancing civilization. In order to secure these results we demand atthe hands of the State: The establishment of bureaus of labor statis- tics that we may arrive at a correct knowledge ofthe educational, moral and financial condi- tion of the laboring masses, and thatthe mem- -bers of such bureaus shall be selected from the ranks of labor. lhat the public lands, the heritage of the People, be reserved for actual settlers; not another acre for railroads or speculators, and thutalilands now held for speculative pur- Poses be taxed to their full value. rhe abrogation of all laws that do not bear equally upon capital and labor, and the re- Moval of unjust technicalities, delays and dis- crituinations In the administration of justice. The adoption of measures providing for the health snd safety of those engaged in mining, Manufacturing and building industries, and for indemnification of those en aged therein for injuries received through lack of necessary Bufeyuards. And we demand at the hands of Congress: jhe establishment of a national monetary satem, in which a .cireulating medium in ‘Scessary quantity shall issue direct to the ople, Without the intervention of banks; _ all the national issue shall be full legal under in payment of all debts, public and private ; und that the Government shall not suarantes or recognize any private banks, or ‘ ‘oa any banking corporations. et — interest bearing bonds, bills of credit = Botan shall never be issued by the Govern- a nt, but that, when need arises, the -emer- ——- Shall be met by the issue of legal tender un-Interest bearing money, ° ihat the linportation of foreign labor under —e be prohibited. hat, in Connection with the Post-o cevernment shall organize conan no ne sng 8,sate deposits and facilities for deposit - ne Savings Ol people in small sums, ant She Government shall obtain posses- ay » purchase, under the rights of emi- oan : aac of all telegraphs, telephones ~ Bran roads, and that hereafter no charter “ “one be issued to any corporation for on-e or Operation of any means of treiyie g any intelligence, passengers.or THE NINTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT apparently the cause of considerable &. “everal friends of N, 0, Nelson had ne his chances in the groups got. ve hail, The result of the Onall aa” = _ Cause considerable suspicion of ‘the "Ss the feeling against indorsing any Candidates on the regular tickets : seemed ve decided, but many be- trayed thelr suspicion of the iutegrity of some of the more prominent ead- ers. ‘‘If that ain’t a Republican move, said one disgusted delegate, ‘‘I’d like to know whatitis. N. O. Nelson may be avery good man, but he will probably be the Republican candidate, and that is not in accordance with our principles. Let our nominees come from our own ranksand we will know who they are and know that their selection is not influ- enced by scheming politicians.’’ The lack of candidates was a remarkable feature of the gathering. Though it was pro- posed to name a full ticket not another name was discussed by the delegates as material for candidates. CHAIRMAN JOHN P. MARNELL of the Conference Committee is a member of Typographical Union No. 8 and very popular among the workingmen. ‘‘The convention,’ said Mr. Marnell, ‘*is composed of delegates from all parts of the city. They have been elected at meetings of labor organizations but as yet thev have not been divided up into wards. : =v = . T 7 + = 7 “AS 7 id | © » N. E.

me “a « , a7 y 4 o — -————- - SENATOR SHERMAN has opened his cam- paign for the Republican nomination with a plea for the bullion equalization of coin- age by putting a third more silver into the silver dollar. The opponents of such equalization take the ground that the silver now in’ the silver dollar is ‘‘just as ‘‘valuable measured by every product of **‘human labor except gold, as it has been *‘‘for a hundred years.” They produce immense tables of market values for generations past in proof of their assertion and they claim therefore that, if it is necessary to equalize the bullion values of our gold and silver coins, the only just way is by reducing the gold in the gold coin to the silver dollar standard. To bring our coinage up to the appre- ciated gold standard would,’ they say, be legalizing an additien of 30 per cent to the purchasing power of money; thereby forcing a_ corre- sponding reduction in the market value of all labor products except gold, and adding 30 per cent to all debts or evidénces of debt while destroying 30 per cent of the market value of property and products— the debtor’s means of payment. The just and proper solution of the equaiization problem may be found somewhere between the two extremes, or a big change in the relative output of gold and silver from the mines may eventually solve it without any change of our coins. In the mean- time Mr. SHERMAN will always be ready to shift his position on the question to any ground which may seem to place him in easy reach of the Presidency. EEE - Mr. HENRY GEORGE’s land nationaliza- tion hobby is the impracticable and harm- less vagary of a man who claims to bea Jeffersonian Democrat, and of course he is denounced as an ‘‘agrarian, a ley- eler. and a Jacobin” or Socialist, just as JEFFERSON was denounced. But Mr. GerorGe’s land crotchet is something wholly apart from the duties and qualifications of a Mayor for New York City, where intelligence, firm integrity and zealous earnestness for re- form in the interest of good and clean government are far more desirable just now than partizan servility or doctrinaire ‘at the polls: | orthodoxy on the land question. Many thousand voters who take no stock in Mr. GrorGr’s peculiar theories in regard to the main cause of labor troubles seem to regard him asa man possessing the very character and qualifications necessary to inaugurate municipal reform in New York, and the mere fact that he has the ear and the confidence of the labor organizations in that city is not a suffi- cient reason for denouncing him as ® Socialist or anarchist, or for predicting that his election will encourage working- men ‘‘to make strikes effective by the use ‘‘of the bludgeon, the pistol and the ‘‘torch.”’ As the New York WoORLD remarks to those who seem to be afraid of a workingman’s triumph ‘of the majority of the ‘‘workingmen were in favor of any non- ‘‘sense of that kind they would not need ‘‘the incentive of a large vote for Mr. ‘‘GEORGE tolead them on. The truth of “the matter is that this country is in the “hands of workingmen, and is entirely ‘‘safe notwithstanding. Some working- ‘‘men differ from others,but the wiser ones ‘‘will hold things level in the long run.’’ TENNESSEE has two reformed city gov- ernments about which we find interesting letters in the Southern Bivouac. In Nash- ville the people think they have taken their city affairs out of the hands of the ward politicians by substituting a council of ten, elected on a general ticket, in the place of the two old boards, and putting the*business of the city in the hands of a board of public works composed of well- paid business men. In Memphis they have, in place of the old form of munici- pal government, a legislative council, in which it is said politics do not count. The writer of one of these letters says: The management of a city’s affairs is simply business, justas much business as operating a railroad.. Politicians—even a much higher class than ward politicians—cannot transact busi- ness. The experience of all our cities, with- out anexception, is that ward politicians have no more fitness forthe business to be trans- acted ina city than pirates would have for holding a religious service. It may be set down as a fixed fact that a gang of politicians could not run a henhouse. In all the great cities of this country, as wellas in the smaller ones, this sort of talk about the ward politicians is an old familiar sound. But how long will these experimental novelties in city govern- ment be at work before the ward politi- cian will be manipulating them also? How is he to be entirely frozen out of any system based upon local self-government by and through the ballot-box? How much worse is he than the majority by whose consent his mischievous power? Whenever the people take a notion to down him for his devilment they can do so under the old forms as readily as under the new. he exercises o—=+ —___—_ It is hard to ketp names on a wet slate, MR.

BURKE of the New Orleans Times- Democrat has been presented with a gold mine by the President of Spanish Honduras. This will enable him to extend the time of his cord-wood subscribers; but he should not let up on bloated monopolists, even if he does own a mine. ON the 18th of May last, a special telegram to the morning papers from Mattoon, Ill., stated thata Mr. L. D. HALFACRE had cruelly mur- dered one of his children and buried the body inthe garden. The telegram was condensed and published in the POsT- DISPATCH as an item of morning news, and we regret its appear- ance in our columns, as the story was utterly without foundation, and, of course, was a cruel wrong to Mr. HALFACRE. We take great pleasure in correcting it, and.in making Mr. HALFA CRE’S vindication complete. —_— Conspiracy Laws. From the Chicago Tribune. : Within the last year it has been demonstrated in New York and Pennsylvania that the stat- utes are ample for the punishment of laboring men who combine lawlessly to advance wages by injuring the business or property of em- ployers, preventing other men from working by violence or intimidation, or performing acts opposed to the public welfare. Even boycotting, which is known to the law simply as a ‘‘conspiraey to restrain trade,’’ has been crushed out bythe New York and Pennsy}l- vania courts, and it Is now fully established that no such persecuting conspiracies will be tolerated. Gov. Pattison has now discovered a combi- nation immeasurably more oppressive and conscienceless and injurious than an ordinary boycott—a conspiracy of millionaires to re- strain the production and transportation of anthracite coal, produce an artificial winter and dear steam-power, and enrich themselves by speculating in the miseries of the poor and the crippling of manufacturers. These con- spirators did not distribute trades-union cir- culars in front of bakeries and shoe-shops and cabinetmaker-shops, but they gathered about rosewood tables in a Wall street parior and oo estimated the throttling of trade necessary to produce the most abnormal’ prices of coal possible. Why are these conspirators not lodged in jail or required to give bail for their crime? The ordinary boyootter or trade-unionist mobber might plead poverty or necessity as an excuse for his efforts to re- strain trade and oppose the public good, but the plutocratic conspirators in the coal ring acted only from the promptings of inordinate greed. Already fattened on ill-gotten gains, and with no excuse for demanding more, they proposed to secure further slices from the poor man’s loaf by compelling him to restrict his dealingsS with the baker and the butcher, and grocer in order to get fuel to keep his family from freezing. When have laboring men engaged in a conspiracy in restraint of trade and against the common welfare that will equal that of the coal ring, or even com- pare with it in point of lawlesness, cupidity and inhumanity? — The Pooling System Ended. From the Philadelphia Times. Broad-guage railroad managers who are willing to see and understand the popular finger-boards which are vistble all along their highways, will accept the lesson that the pool- ing system in coal and freight combinations is ended in Pennsylvania. There is room for protracted and costly litigation in resisting the inevitable, but both judicial decisions and new statutes will unite to make the pooling system a thing of the past. Like all public evils, the pooling system has hastened its own overthrow. In ordinary seasons, when industry and capital were prosperous and little or no agitation of cor- porate encroachments, the pooling system could be maintained; but it has finally come to a square issue with both the law and crystallized public sentiment and it is practically ended. Being the creations of the State under liberal franchises, the corpora- tions now called to legal account by the Gov- ernor and Attorney-General, are amenable to the law to an extent much beyond the ac- countability of industrial enterprise; and even it the courts should hesitate, the Legislature will begin where the courts stop and efface the vicious pooling system from the customs of the commonwealth. There will be desperate resistance, butthe more desperate the resistance, the more sweeping will be the ovesthrow of the system and the greater in- jury will be inflicted upon corporate interests by the overthrow. ———— ee ee Why Senator Edmunds is Lonely. From the Philadelphia Times. No one at the capital misses Thurman more than Senator Edmunds. With the Ohio states: wan these two formed that illustrious coterie among which Roscoe Conkling and Secretary Bayard loved to linger, whether it wasto dis- cuss affairs of State or partake of the far- famed Senatorial tea. These gatherings, held always inone ofthe committee rooms, were the delight ofall who there cume together, but beyond those named few others could obtain admission, though they sought it in every way. For convenience they kept the liquor in a jug which never grew empty, though the supply was frequently low. Scat- tered around the room, in easy position, often with dishevelled hair and other garments flung* off for comfort, they frequently ontlined party policy in friendly co-operation, for in those meetings all jealousy and rivalries were iaid aside. When Thurman gave way, to besuc- ceeded by Garfield, the first break in the chain was made. Then Conkling dropped out, and, later, Bayara and Garland went into Cleve- land’s Cabinet. Of that illustrious group only Edmunds now remains, and he is inconsolable in his mourning for those whom he really loved and missed, Moneycrat Selfishness, From the New York WORLD. The proposition of the National banks to bave the Treasury hold uncancelled, as the basis for continned note circulation, called 3 per cent bonds, is simply an assumption that the interests of the taxpayer, and even the laws of Congress, must be subordinated to their convenience and profit. The law is so clear that no honest doubt can exist asto its meaning. It requires a deposit of ‘‘interest-bearing bonds’’ as the basis of circulation. When a call maturesthe called bonds are no longer interest bearing. They are, intheeye of the law, retire? securities that require only the passing of money alread 7 provided for their payment to insures their cancellation. The country is not suffering so badly for currency that it will wink at any violation of the law in the interests of the National banks to secure it. The suggestion of the evasion is another instance of the selfishness of the mon- eyed classes in seeking to control the Govern- ment in their interest. MEN OF MARK.

In some way or another he has managed to obtain a hold upon the affections of several wealty citizens of Chicago, and these are about to combine, pay his debts and give him enough money to organize a new and capable dramatic company. WOMEN OF THE WORLD. JEFF DAVIS’ daughter is said to have written an article for the North American Review. WHEN Mrs. George Pullman travels she rides in a car that was built expressly for her use. THE Freeman’s Journal of Dublin claims George Gould’s wife asan Irish woman, and says she was born at Limerick. THE late Baroness de Rothschild had among her friends Tallyrand, Balzac, Humboidt, Eugene Sue, Thiers and Rossini. THE only surviving child of Noah Webster is Mrs. Jones of Bridgeport, who carries her 82 years with good health and vivacity. Mrs. SUNDERLAND of Washington, because of the brillilancy of the‘precious stones she wears, bears the title of the Diamond Queen. AT Queen Victoria’s table there are three servants toevery six guests. When the meal is finished Her Majesty is the first to leave the room.

They are supposed to give the wearera very aristocratic uir. Princesses and other titled women uze them on the other side. PRINCESS BISMARCK is represented by a French correspondent as a woman of great worth and, though of somewhat vulgar man- ner, possessing a good heart and a great amount of common sense. She has the most unbounded love and admiration for her illus- trious husband. Sheis notin the least proud of her position. , She is greatly liked by every- body around her,though she is always brusque towards them and sometimes even bearish. EX-EMPRESS EUGENIE of France has with- drawn the pensions which she hitherto paid to the supporters of Bonaparte dynasty. Several persons who were accustomed to call at the Paris Post-office and draw their money orders on [ler Majesty at Chiselhurst are now missed. The reason alleged for the withdrawal of the allowances is that Her Majesty sees that Na- poleonic outlook in France is hopeless, and that there is nothing to be gained by sus- taining the cause of Imperialisin against the Republic. THE METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying this Morninz. By Telegraph: to the PosT-DIsratcn NEW YORK, October 7.—The WORLD says: **It ma not change the present attitude of the Blainites to assure them, as we do, that New York is Democratic, and will remain so0 no matter Wheat may happen this year or what they may do in 1838. But this isafact that they may depend on and save themselves, if they will, the meditated treachery to their State ticket.’’ THE SUN. he Sun says: ‘‘The trouble is that the tariff reformers in control of the House of tepresentatives are more or less openly avowed free-traders. They are enemies of the present tariff and of its underlying princi- pie, and their method forthe revision of it is imbued rather with a spirit of hostility to its existences than with a desire to reduce the revenue, No wonder that their efforts are re- sisted by a majority of the House of Repre- sentatives. if the tariff isto be revised finaily: it must be revised by its friends rather than by its enemies.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: **There is only one course open for the Government, and that is, without interfering with the beliefs or the organized syse tems of the people, to suppress by any legis- lation that may be found necessary to the purpose and by its rigid enforcement, the practice of polygamy in the Territories. By 80 doing it may secure its formal abandon- ment, whatever the Mormon authorities may see fitto do with their so-called revelations, They may see a new light in time and conclude the revelations may be repealed by the same authority that establishes them.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘On the temperance question, also, the Republicans have taken an honest position. Asa party they do not favor this or that mode of dealing with the evils of intemperance until it has been ascertained what mode public opinion will so support ag to make it effective. But the party does frankly tavor submission tothe people imme- diately affected of the measures designed to reguiate, restrain or prohibit the traflic in liquors. Nine-tenths ofthe advocates of pro- hibition realize this is the only method by which practical and enduring reforms may be secured,.’’ A Royal Land Speculator. From the London Truth. Prince Albert was the first of our royalties to dabble in land speculations, and there is no doubt that a considerable portion of the vast fortune that he left was the fruit of those transactions. The precise nature of the royal interestin South Kensington has never yet been made clear. When the full and true history is made known there will be some queer revelations. Thought They Sat Together. From the Norristown Herald. A naturalist has satisfied himself beyond a doubt that the average cat travels a distance of.eighty miles every night. Then it must be the other cat that sits onthe back fence sey- eral hours every nizht, loudly complaining of the high taxes or something. An Iowa Invitation. From the Omaha Republican. Over in the Iowa drug stores they have fallen into the habit of remarking: ‘‘Have a little Sedgwick with me?’’ TS Saloon vs. Drug Store. From the Chicago Herald. Out in Iowa the Anti-Saloon Republicans are Offset to some extent by the Anti-Pharmacy Democrats. ee MR. W. C. STEIGERS Will call on merchants wishing to contract for A MIGHTY THRONG. THE CARNIVAL AND THIRTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE. The carnival has thanksgiving day. When favorable circumstances the dome of the Cus- tom House can not assure bright sunny days, would have been a_i drizzled the appropriateness of such to the festivities is manifest. mornings, bright, warm noons and after- noons; warmth enough for comfort till the sun sinks into the pink and purple mysteries of a Chinese dawn. From Oregon to Pennsylvania, from New Orleans to Detroit, the carnival bas been draw- ing its crowds, but just as usual the greatest appreciation is shown by the people of lilinois, lowa, Kansas and Missouri. They reckon the days of the year from the Veiled Prophet pro- cession; marriages, births or deaths were before or since the last St. Louis Fair. They bought this dress, that hat, these shoes and that harness when they were to see the V. P. of 1884—or was it 85? The recollections of this year of the same material form will be more numer- ous than before. The retail stores have done & smashing business. Stocks have been fairly depleted in some lines and the wholesalers have more directly telt the presence of the crowds than has been usual heretofore. Gen- erally the wholesale houses feel prosperity among the retailmen not byincreased orders, but by easier collections and releases of cus- tomers they have previously been forced to carry. Even the banks have felt the crowds. The season of carnival has been long, has em- braced many features, and the merchants feel it has paid. To-day then is not only a visitors’ day, not only a feature in their entertainment, but is the Thanksgiving Day of St. Louis. It is an old institution, but never betore has it fol- lowed so much remarkable success in such remarkable succession. All the banks and the Clearing House were closed. The Merchants’ Exchange was locked and barred. Up atthe Barn, as the City Hall is familiarly known, there was hardly & sound of life. The Post-oftice was as nearly closed as the regulations permitted, only one carrier deliv- ery being made. Wholesale and _ retail houses, factories and shops without nuinber closed, and everybody, his mother-in-law, grand-auntand sister’s husband went tothe Fair. There was a holiday air about’ the streets. Besides the man who ‘‘Cal-e- for-nee gra-eps at ten cents a pow-ownd,’’ the individual who barters canes (for similar remuneration, the girl with bead-boxes and such like there was little business in the wind, and sure there was none within the shops. All the theaters had matinee perform- ances, Hanlon’s ‘‘Fantasma’’ at the Olympic, Kate Castleton’s ‘‘Crazy Patch’’ at the Grand, Gus Williams and ‘‘Capt, Mishler’’ at the Peo ple’s and the Burlesque Company at the Stan- dard. All had fair patronage. At the Register. He scratches his ear with the end of the pen, thrusts out his arms, lays down upon the reg- ister, sighs, sweeps the pen about fantastic- allyin the air, and then writes: ‘‘Geo, W. Jones, Oskaloosa’’ in a Hill’s Manual band. The clerk is waiting. Mr. Jones lavs down the pen, triumphantly surveys his signature, and In stiff-backed tones asks for ‘‘a nice room. Parlor floor. Bath.’’ ‘‘Not a vacant room inthe house,’’ the clerk says, as softly as possible. He has repeated tnat 765 times already. ‘‘May have a room for you before noon, but will fix you by night, any way.’’ ‘‘Noroom? A little one will do.’’ ‘*Haven'’tany.’’ ‘*‘T don't care if it’s on the top floor.’’ ‘*‘Haven’t a vacant room in the house.’’ ‘‘Ilf you could just give me a room, I wouldn’t mind about the bath.’’ The clerk gives him. up, dashes off meal- tickets desperately and registers a waiting horde. This is a big Thursday scene atthe hotel counters. Full? Well, those hotels nearly lack breathing room. Four, six, eight, yes ten in a room That is the kind of business that is being done at those hostelries. Hours for meals are imaginary bDounderies. Break- fast begins at6 and extends to 12, when lunch begins, and that goes on into the dinner hour, and then to supper withouta break. Very many oi the arrivais early in the week stillremain. Tothein were added large num- bers to-day. Before noon the registers showed to-day would be as large as Tuesday.

Americans in Mexico Must be Protected— Abrogating Obnoxious Laws. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCII. SARATOGA, N. Y., October 7.—Secretary Bay- ard, who is stopping at the Worden, was asked by a Post- DIsPpATCH correspondent if the ques- tion of abrogating the Mexican law in relation to the trial of persons in Mexico for crimes committed on American soil was still being considered or would be pressed. ‘‘Nothing is being done just at this moment,’’ said Mr. Bayard, ‘‘for the action of the Mexican Gov- ernment in releasing Cutting has satisfied us, so far as that case is concerned, but something must be done soon, for it is of the utmost importance to America and Americans. Their laws are so different from ours, the mode of procedure and examination 80 radically oppo- site to those of this country, that before our citizens can feel any security in going to Mexico, there will have to be many changes in its judicial forms. There is an immense flood of American capital and enterprise con- tinually setting in the direction of Mexico, and this capital and those who invest there must have firm ground to stand upon or the business relations between the two countries willcease. I was not aware until recently that the tide of emigration into Mexico was so strong, and it is of the gravest importance that this should continue, for it would cause a reflex wave of business to set back into this country.’’ ‘*l am decidedly in favor of maintaining the most friendly relations with Mexico and in tavor of doing everything that can be done to induce her autborities to so modify or change their laws that protection will be extended to all aliens who may settle there and become the owners of property in that country. Ido not want the people of Mexico to jump at the conclusion that we desire to Americanize their country. All that weask is that American citizens and American enterprise and in- dustries may be protected, and that they know they are secure in the possession of any property that they may acquire. This question of protection is of the most vital iin- portance, and until Mexico changes her laws and guarantees protection, the better class of Americans will stay away from the country. Mexicans must be made to understand that if persons and property are not made safe and protected in all parts of the country, a good class of citizens willleave Mexico aione and seek other locations for investments, and the only class who will seek the hospitalities of Mexico will be those who wear pistols on their hips and are always seeking a quarrel.’’ WEDDING PRESENTS.

CHICAGO, October 7.—A policeman at the Northwestern Depot late last evening ob- served two small boys, neither over 6 years old, standing atthe gate alone, carrying be- tween them alarge satchel. When the officer approached them one dropped his side of the valise and ran away as fast as he could, while the other stood his ground. When closely questioned the littie urchin burst out crying, and said that he was going out West to herd cattle. He was taken to the police sta- tion, where he admitted that his name was John Frickson and that he had run away from his home at 206 Seduwick/street. The valise was opened and found to contain only a vest, two large calibre revolvers, and a plentiful stock of cakes and ples. He said that the other boy’s name was John Dunn, and that he had stolen $25 from his father, and the two revolvers from his brother, and that they were going to startaranch out in Idaho. He had also two through tickets for St. Paul, Minn. Thechild was locked up and the father sent for.

PROCEEDINGS IN COURT TO-DAY WINDING UP THE AFFAIRS. ‘ A Formal Demurrer Entered by the Directors and Overruled—Default of President Gar- land and Cashier Thomson for Want of Answer—A Show for the Stockholders Af- ter Payment of the Depositors—Legal Doings. Judge Lubke sat to-day in Court No. land advanced the settlement of the Provident Bank affairs by an important feature—the entry of the decree winding up the con- cern. Judge Adams brought the matter up in behalf of the petitioner, Carlos 8S. Greeley, at whose instance the receiver was appointed by the Court. John H. Overall represented the defendants, the Provident Bank, Thos. H. Swain, Wm. P. Mullen, Geo. Scott, Chas, B. Greeley and Chas. H. Smith, directors of the bank. In their behalf the following demurrer was en- tered: The petition does notstate facts to consti- tute a cause of action against the defendants or either of them. The facts stated in the petition will not authorize the court to grant the relief prayed wed or any relief whatever as against these de- ‘fendants. e facts stated are insufficient to warrant the court in appointing a receiver and taking the management of the affairs of the Provident Savings Bank out of the hands of these de- fendants. Judge Adams asked for a default as against J. 8. Garland and Almon B. Thompson, the other defendants. There had been a publica- tion as to the former, and there had been ser- vice of the writ at the residence of the default- ing cashier the day of the closing of the bank. The Court at once overruled the demurrer, and, the defendants declining to plead further the final decree was entered directing the re- ceiver to wind up the affairs of the bank and distribute the assets among the depositors. After all the allowed claims of the creditors have been satisfied in full, if any surplus re- mains, after payment of costs and expenses, the stockholders are to share it. The directors are ordered to join the receiver in deeds of conveyance, ete. The decree likewise con- tains a provision that ail creditors who are not already before the court by the report of the receiver just filed are required to exhibit their demands on or before the first day of the December term. A notice to tbat etfect is to be published for four weeks. After the date mentioned all claims not so exhibited will be barred. The court willsit to-morrow morning in Room No. 1, east wing of the buiiding, forthe purpose of hearing proof in all cases of cluims transferred or assigned. Further details of the decree are to be submitted to the court to- morrow. An Assignment. In addition to the attachment suits against the J. E. Lawton Printing Company, men- tioned in the Post-DISPATCH of yesterday, the Graham Paper Company entered one for $853.90. Shortly afterwards the Lawton Company exe- cuted an assignment to Chas. H. Gleason for the benefit of creditors. The assets are valued at $35,000, but the bankers of the company hold a deed of trust for about $22, Neighbors at War. Mary E. Kienker has entered a suit for dam- ages for $1,000 against Ernst Doepke. They Mrs. Kienker complains that Mr. Doepke has two troughs on his premises for the purpose of storing tish and minnows and that he suffers the flowing waters from the troughs to perco- late the basement walls of her premises, caus- ing damage to the property in the sum named. Expensive Liquidation. The cost of winding up a concern through the machinery of the courts is illustrated in the October term report of the assignee just filed in the matter of the assignment of P. R. Lynch, 412 Franklin avenue. The Court had directed a sale of the assets by retail for cash. The assignee reports that the sale to date bas realized $505.85 and the expenses foot up $114.10.

Grimm’s saioon on Second and Chestnut streets, last night, and ordered 25 cents worth of cigars, for which he refused to pay. His refusal was the cause of Mr. Grimm assaulting him with a club. Maitoney had his wounds dressed at the Dispensary, and was then locked up at the Chestnut Street Station. W. H. Coleman of California, Mo., who came to this city yesterday morning. appeared at the Four Courts last evening and had asad tale totell. While on his way tothe Union Depot about 8 o’ Clock, four men followed him, and when he was about to board the train they crowded ae to him, and as he was tightly wedged in the mass of people he was unaware of their purpose until he found that he had been relieved of $760. Yesterday afternoon a man about 50 years of age called at J. F. Mueller’s store, 910 and 914 South Fourth street, and purchased $914 worth of furniture for which he tendered in payment a check on the Third National Bank. After talking a while after making nis purchase he incidentally remarked that he would like to have $80 and the proprietor agreed to give him that amount, accepting a check on the same bank as security. Both checks were bogus. The semi-annual meeting of the Missouri State Association of Veterinary Science was held last night at Dr. James’ residence, 1029 Leftingwell avenue. The resignation of E.

For over a year I had suffered from heart trouble. When I would lie down I would have severe pone and would feel as ifIl would lose my yreath. I had pain in my left side in the region of my beart. My body was often cov- ered with a cold perspiration. The slightest motion increased my suffering. After being under Dr. McCoy’s treatment six weeks, I hat made such progress that I did not feel as though I had been sick, It is now a year since | I wentunder his treatment, and you can see that lam as strong and hearty as anybody.’’ Mr. Andy Burch, 1706 South Seventh Stree, ‘‘Four months ago,’’ said Mr. Bure ‘‘l went to Dr. McCoy's office. At th time I had a pain across the chest. I had a dull, heavy feeling over the eyes and a ringing intheears. There was acontinual dropping of mucus in the back part of my throat. My nose was ssoppee up most of the time an I had lost all sense o smell. My appetite was bad and = sleep was very poor. I could hardly sleep at ail at night. I was always catching cold. In fact, I had catarrh in its worst and most aggravated form—always snuffing, always blowing, alwea raising. phiegm, always taking cold on t slightest provocation. ‘‘Well, four months have passed since I went under Dr. McCoy’s treatment, - I have no more cough, no more raising of phlegm. My appetite is as as itever was, and my sense of smell has returned.

By Telegraph to the POsT-DISsPATcnH. WASHINGTON, D. O., October 7.—The latest rumor as to changés in the Cabinet is that Sec- retary of War Endicott may, within the next sixty days, tender his resignation, He has said to his friends that the position is not in harmony with his tastes, that he cannot take any particular interest in it and feels that he would only be doing him- self as well as the Administration justice if he retired. He has also indicated to the President that he would be. glad to be relieved of the responsibility. Mr. Cleveland, it is said, has tried to persuad:s him to abandon the idea and re- main unti: the close of the present term. Mr. Cleveland proposes to emulate the example of President Pierce in retaining his cabinet dur-. ing the entire term of office, if possible. Military Jealousies. WASHINGTON, D. C., October 7.—The Post this morning publishes the following: ‘it cannot be discovered that anything has been said officially at the War Department to justify the report that Gen. Miles disobeyed orders and made terms with Geronimo, but it is said that certain officiais in the department, while not positively giving out reports, have en- couraged the publication of these strictures on Gen. Miles in orderto favor Gen. Crook, who seems to meet with special consideration from some quarters because he was a West Point graduate, while Miles isa volunteer soldier.’’ The Oleomargarine Stamp.

C©., October 7.—The Re- publicans in the departments are determined to exercise their privileges in voting atthe forthcoming election, though they are per- fecting their plans in a clandestine manner, The chairmen of the various State Committees have addressed confidential letters to the general passenger agents of the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio railroads, asking for special rates, suchas have in the past been extended tothose going hometovote. The railroad officials have been admonished against making public anything that may be done, fearing it may get to the earsof the President. The Buffalo Postmastership.

ONE OF THE ENERGETIC AND ENTERPRIS- ING TOWNS OF KANSAS, The ‘‘Gatewny to the Indian Territory”—How a Live Town Sprang Up in ‘Sand Hills”—A Busy and Go-Ahead Place—Agricultural and Industrial Progress. Special Correspondence of the POST-DISPATCH. ARKANSAS CITy, October 4.—The history of Cowley County is about the same as that of many other counties in the great State of Kan- sas. Like other counties, it had its days of early settlement, and the usual hardships and trials fell to the lot of those who first came as the vanguard of a mighty following. And yet the simple story ofthese hardy pioneers is listened to in ad- miring silence by those of their more favored brethren, who have come herein latter years toreapthe benefit of the hard-earned com- forts and pleasures thatthese brave souls, by their earnest labor, have made possibie, It is stated that Kansas 8 the best advertised State in the Union. No doubt thisis largely true, but yet the subject has not been done justice, and the story remains but poorly toid. The writer of this has traveled over a large portion of the State, and he can truthfully say that ali that has been said or written about this ‘‘Western Empire,’’ but faintly portrays the facts as theyj actually exist. Itis a grand coun- try and many people are daily adding to the prosperity already to be found within its borders. Although a new country yetthe morals ofits towns and villages are excellent. Education, both mental and spiritual, receives special attention, and on every hill-top may be seen the handsome school-house, within whose walls the youth are trained up for a useful manhood and womanhood; while nestling in the valleys are to be found the churches, from whose steeples ring out each Sabbath day the call that brings the worshippers to sit at the feet of ‘‘The Master,’’ and learn of things, not of the earth, earthy, but of Ueaven, Heay- enly. These features are what has given Kansas such an enviable reputation abroad, and added toall that has been done by man, is the beauteous picture spread out tothe gazeof millions upon mill- ions of acres of magnificent farming lands, some of which has ALREADY GIVEN RICH RETURNS to the labors of the busbandman, and more that yet remains untouched, save as it blossoms under the touch of nature’s fairy wand, into a veriteble Garden of Eden. With all this great country before them, thousands of people are satisfied to toil and struggle for a bare subsistence from the worn-out lands of the Eastern States, unmindful of the fact that wealth and happi- ness await them here if they will but come and take it. A few days ago Il gave your readers a brief description of the count seat of. Cowley County—beautiful infield. This time I want them to Zo with meto another city inthe same count that lies just on the border of the far-fame Oklahoma strip of the Indian Territory. One takes the cars atthe Union Depot, St. Louis, on the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad, and after a pleasant trip of some twenty hours you find yourselves landed in a town called ARKANSAS CITY. Nearly Ad tng 4 in the United States has heard of Wichita, Kan.. a city that has been called the ‘‘Wonder of the West.’’- Well, ‘*‘wonders never cease,’’ and s0 another one comes into line and bobs up serenely, calling for the usual enconiums of praise and admira- tion. In this case, however, the greatest meed of praise that could be given would not do more than justice tothesubject. Arkansas City is a fair specimen of what pluck and per. severance willdoto make a successful city. Dumped down in what envious rival cities are pleased to term sand hills, Arkansas City has gone straight to work building her- self up on those same ‘‘poor old sand hills,’’ until now the despised old ‘‘Sand Town’’ shakes its skirts in the face of its left-behind maligners and marches forward to future greatness undisturbed by any of the back -bitings of the ‘‘ieit behind constituency.’’ The citizens of Ar- kansas City bave had a great many difficulties to overcome, being surrounded by good towns on allsides. But these disadvantages have only made them work the harder, and now they are beginning to reap a well-earned re- ward in seeing their beloved town taking rapid strides forward. In 1882 the city had a population of about 1,200. The town was a smallone, and while it had a good trade from the Indian Territory, was not branching out to any great extent. But the A. T.& 8.

A first-class cracker and candy factory operating 100 hands, several large flouring mills, a woolen mill, wagon factories, foundries and numerous other inanufacturing interests, all of which are do- ing a prosperous business by their presence, show that the city is moving constantly forward. School houses and churches abound; in fact, this is a characteristic feat- ure of all Kansas towns. Secret societies flourish and are numerous.

New York, October 7.—The Anchor Line steamship Anchoria had not. been heard from up to alate bour last night. Ske sailed from Queenstown September 16, and is to-day twenty-one days out. Vessels arriving report heavy weather atsea. September 20the ship Aristomne, from Calcutta, experienced a hur ricane lasting twelve hours, during which her lower topsails were blown away. The English ship Darby, on September 30, encountered a hurricane from the northwest. which lasted fifteen hours. The State of Nebraska, which arrived yesterday, saw nothing of the missing neboria. he Anchoriais a good staunch vessel, and under ordinary circumstanees can be depend- ed upon to weather any gale of wind. Her engines and boilers are perhaps in bad condi- tion and it has been in contemplation for some time to replace them. Well-informed seamen agree that there is no cause for fear about the vessel’s safety. The route followed by the Anchoria whenin good conditiun is one weli traversed by steamers of other lines, but it is fact that with disabled machinery the vessel as not enough canvas to make much head- way. The ey winds which are reported as prevalent should, however, enable her to reach a point east from here within a few days. er arrival is expected atany moment. Get the Boys Ready for the Cold Wave.

IT WAS “TOUGH.” WHAT DEEBLE AND ST. JOHN THOUGHT -OF THE BEACH-GAUDAUB RACE. A Chat With the Patron of Water Sports—List of Sculling Matches for the World’s Cham- pionship—Changes in the Chicago Ball Club—Caruthers Will Not Go to Chicago— The Browns and White Stockings—Base Ball Gossip—Wheel News. Jacob Gaudaur, the oarsman,.and J. A. 8t. John, his backer, arrived home yesterday. They came direct from New York, where they arrived from London on Sunday. To 4 PoOst- DISPATCH reporter who saw him this morning the Saint reiterated the statement that he made before and afterthe celebrated race, that withachoice of place on the Thames course Gaudaur could have, beaten Beach. ‘‘The course,’’ said he, ‘‘is a horrible affair. it is curved and spanned with bridges, and as Jake had the outside track he was at a disadvantage the whole of the Way excepting a short space where the cur- rent shot outtohim. When Beach gave out near the finish Jake thought he had given up for good, and that all he had todo was to paddle home, He would have won just then had not the man in the barge behind signalled Beach that Jake too was in distress. Beach rested two strokes, about three seconds only, but long enough to fillhis lungs. Asit was he won by four seconds. The length of the course from Putney to Mortlake is four miles, 440 yards. Beach’s time was 22:29 and Gaudaur’s 22:33, & difterenee of less than a minute from the time made by the Oxford and Cambridge eight- oared crews last year.’’ ‘*‘What are the prospects for another race with Beach?’’ ‘‘Not bad. Jake will certainly not row him anywhere butin America, and I entertain the strongest hopes of GETTING BEACH OVER HERE next vear. He acknowledged to me himself that he could find his class in this country alone, and didn’t expect to meet any rowing outside of Americans. What withall the re- gattas he could row and wininthis country, and his per cent of the profits arising from them, he could clear $10,000 or $12,000 easily, even if he should happen to lose the cham- gees y Speak ng ofthe newspaper accounts of the race Mr. 5t. JohnPsaid: ‘‘You see here I’ve gota pile of Post-DISPATCHES giving the ac- count ofthe race. I’m going to send these over to England toshow my London friends that a Western Ameuican afternoon paper gives an account of the race on the day it was rowed whichis much betterthanthe account published by the London journals the day after the race. While in LondonI saw only two correspondents of American papers, the POsST-DISPATCH and the Boston Herald. I considered that the London Times had the best account of the race in England.’’ *‘*TOUGH’’ ON BOTH SIDES. ‘‘When Beach broke down toward the finish,’’ Mr. St. John added, ‘‘Deeble, his backer, wko with me was following the men, turned around and said: ‘Well, this is pretty tough on me, butI can tell you you’ve got an oarsmen of the best stripethe world ever saw.’ Ithought so myself, although we were beaten.’’ In reference to the match with Hanlan, St. John said if Hanlan had signified his desire that it be rowed this fall, arrangements could have been made to that end. He, himself, however, had no information to that effect and therefore cabled to Mr. Roche to set the race for next spring. The friends of Mr. St. John and Gaudaur will tender them a banquet, probably on Monday evening next. - — — SOME GREAT MATCHES. Record of the Sculling Kaces for the Cham- pionship of the World. The recent race on the Thames between Jacob Gaudaur and Wm. Beach for the cham- pionship of the world naturally recalls other events of asimilar kind.

In 1867 Kelley and Sadler were matched for the er ge and £300 a side, when Kelley came in first, but, a foul having occurred, the referee orderea the men to row again. Sadler, however, would not start, and, after a long delay, Kelley rowed over, and was adjudged the winner. The referee’s decision was subsequently overruled in a court of law, and each man consequently drew his stake. CHANGES AT CHICAGO. Startling Rumors Affecting the Future Sta- tus of the White Stockings. A question very frequently asked is: ‘*Will any of the Chicagos be dropped at the end of the season?’’ Not a few think there will be several new faces in next year’s team. It is said that some of the men do not care to stay, and itis almost certain the management are looking around for men to fill their places. Gore is outspoken in his wishto goto other climes, as is Pfeffer. The former, it is alleged, willbe allowedto go. He has er a very erratic game this season both at the bat and in base running. Everybody knows that Gore can play ball if he will. Pfeffer, it is stated, willnot be allowed to go, although he says he can get more money from the Louis- villes. McCormick wishes to retire from the bali field, and if the twirler Anson is after can be secured he maybe allowed to go. Itis robable that Dalrymple and Sunday will not e reserved, as neither has come up to the mark in batting, and it is certain tbat old ‘*Silver’’ Flint and Moolic will be given their tickets of leave. The above suggestions as to changes in the champion team are more or less gossip, and do not come with an air of authenticity. ‘That one or two changes will be made there can be no doubt, but that Spaiding will so slaughter the team that has served him so well is highly improbable. “‘The Boys’’ Doubled Them, The Browns andthe Athletics played a yery one-sided game yesterday at Sportsman’s Park notwithstanding the fact that Matthews pitched for the visitors. Nat Hudson, who did the twirling for the home team, pitched an excel- lent game. The score was: Browns—Runs, 12; hits, 18; total bases, 26; errors,4. Ath- letics—Runs, 6; hits, 7; total, 10; errors, 2. Beaten Again. The Maroons were badly beaten yesterday at the Hub by the Bean eaters... Kirby's pitch~ ing was not up to his usual farm, and although the Maroons batted well, they made but few runs. The score was as follows: 'Boston:Runs, 11; base hits, 18; total bases, 24; errors, 7.

WASHINGTON, D. C., October 7.—The Kan- sas City and Washington Base Ball Clubs hav- ing by mutual consent agreed to play off a postponed game here this morning, and the former not appearing on the field at the ap- pointed hour, Umpire Quest declared the game forfeited to the Washington Club bya score of 9 to 0, The Games with Chicago. The arrangements for the dates of games between the Browns and the Chicagos are being pushed rapidly, and from the present outlook it would seem that they will not inter- fere with the fall series for the local cham- ionship between the Browns and the Maroons. r. Von der Ahe’s latest advice to Mr. Spaid- ing was the proposition that the nr games be played at Chicago on October 18, 1 and 20, that the other three be played at St. Louis on October 21, 22 and 23. As to the question of the umpires Mr. Von der Ahe proposed that Mr, Spalding select two umpires from the League and Mr. Yon der Ahe two from the Association, and that the umpire forthe game be chosen by lot from thesefour. This, no doubt, will be the arrangement finally made, as there is no proposition in it which can conflict with any of Mr. Spaldiag’s original propositions. As to Caruthers, In reference to Caruthers’avowed intention of retiring from the ball field permanently,Mr. Von der Ahe said to-day: ‘‘Caruthers is all right and I’m going to keep him.’’ ‘*‘What did he mean by saying that he was about to retire?’’ asked a POST-DISPATCH rep- resentatiye. ‘‘Oh, they all say that, you know,’’ replied Mr. Von der Ahe, ‘‘but it doesn’t make any difference. Caruthers is going to stay with e. ‘*‘Has he formally agreed to do it?’’ ‘‘No, not yet, because itis too early to talk about such things.’’ ‘*‘He’ll not go to Chicago then?’’ ‘“‘No, he will not. If he pitches ball next year, he will pitch for the Browns or he won’t pitch at all.’’ Thus Bobby’s prospects of a big Chicago salary, if he ever had any, are nipped in the bud. La Blanche and Robinson Matched, A dispatch from Springfield, O., October 5, says that it is stated that a slugging match has been arranged between Tom Robinson,the well-known colored slugger of that city, and Geo. La Blanche, the well-known prize- fighter. The match is to come off October 26, and will be fought at some point within one hundred miles of Columbus. The match is for $300 and will be fought to a finish with hard gioves. The exact place where it will be fought will be given out to sportsmen within ten days of the fight. There is considerable discussion among sporting men over the match. La Blanche fought Dempsey and other noted sluggers recently with credit to himself. Gossip of the Game. Will Murphy of the Blues leads the New En- gland league in batting... He did splendid work in the closing games. The Brooklyns finish the season at St. Louis, the Athleties at Louisville, the Baltimores at Cincinnati and the Mets at Pittsburg. The Maroons scem to have fallen into an un- lucky streak since their departure for the East. They have fallen off considerably in fielding, batting and pitching. The New York Times quotes Brouthers as saying that Radbourn had given it out that he would not pitch another season for Boston, even at the cost of retirement. The timely announcement of Caruthers’ al- leged intention of joining the Chicagos hus put Mr. Von der Ahe on his guard, and all necessary precautions will be taken in time. President Nimick says the talk about Wheel- er C. Wikoff being dethroned next year is all bosh. He says Wikoff isacapable younginan, and has made a highly satisfactory president of the Association. He declares that he will support him at the next election, and says he knows of no opposition to him. The leaders in batting of the American As- sociation since its organization were: 1882, Browning, 382; 188, T. Mansell, 388; 1884, Es- terbrook, 408; 1885, Browning, 367. The leaders in batting in the National League since it was started are as follows: 1876, Ross Barnes, 403; 1877, James White, 385; 1878, Dalrymple, 356; 1879, Anson, 407; 1880, Gore, 365; 1881, Anson, 369; 1882, Brouthers, 367; 1883, Brouthers, 37]; iss4, O’ Rourke, 350; 1885, Connor, 371. At the close of the season the Detroit play- ers will be disposed of as follows: Dunlap will gO to Philadelphia and winter, Brouthers to 1is home at wees Falls, N. Y., Rich- ardson to,Utica, White and Bennett will re- main in Detroit, Baldwin to his home in Hast- ings, Mich., Ganzel will winter in Minneapo- lis, Smithin New Orleans, Jimmy Manning will resume his studies at the College of Phar- macy, Boston, and will graduate next spring, Rowe will winter at his home in Buffalo, Get- zein at Chicago, Conway at Philadelphia, Twitchell at Zanesville, Hanlon is undecided, Gillen will go South. A patent for a contrivance to ay eg injury to the hands of catchers who play the national game will be introduced to the ball-playing public next season, says a New York ex- change. Itis described as made of steel and India rubber, in the form of the letter V, and is:held on one hand, leaving the other free for throwing. .No glove is needed on either hand when using the device, and with it a boy can catch the swiftest balla pitcher can send in. Itcan be dropped instantly when there is a prospect that the catcher will have totouch a man trying to runhome. Experienced bali players who have tried the device like itg so well that they say it must come into general use, even if the present rules of the game have to beamended to permit of its employ- nent. Bicycle Budget. Rowe’s methods lately have savored of pro- fessionalism. Van Sicklen, the Chicago fast rider, has an- nounced his retirement from the path. On the 16th the Ixion Club of New York is to give a race meet on the Roseville (N. J.) track. George R. Bidwell of New York is said to have the presidential bee buzzing in his riding cap. A couple of Ohio cyclists have started fora wheeling trip to Philadelphia, a distance of about 500 miles. Allthe big tournaments have lost-money this year. Cleveland was out $100, Springfield $1,000, Lynn $500and Hartford less than $i00. The editor of Outing denies that Stevens is restricted to the use of any particular wheel, and consequently has not the promateur taint. Kammerer and the bicycle boys are at outs. Now thatthe League meet with its thousand visitors is not far away this attitude of-Del- monico’s is a surprise. Harry Cornish, Hendee’s trainer, will try his luck as a six-day riderthis winter. He is a superb athlete, and should be able to show up well with the best of them where great en- durance is required. Charlies Deguire of Fredericktown, one of the best-known cyclists of the interior, could not take part in the parade on account of chills and fever, which have been affftetin him for three months. He brought his whee to St. Louis, but couldn’t ride at ail. The proverbial good luck of acycler in hay- ‘ing his brethren of the wheel drop around whe n he isin trouble is illustrated by a story oing the cycling rounds of a little occurrence that happened out on Grand avenue last Sun- day afternoon near the Kock Church. The ex- Chief Consul of the Missouri Division, L. A. W., was riding homeward when he was run 0 the street by two men. He challenged either one to et down and he would whip bim. Both came at him and were proceeding to pound him when tour muscular pease fellows rode swiftly up, slipped off their wheels and took a hand in the proceedings. In about two minutes one of the assailants was lying on his back in the mud and the other was declaring ey that he was like the flowers of spring, butas he had a big hickory billy ready for use he was well scared before being re- leased. As each of the four is an expert boxer they are waiting for the two men to come around to see them. MEDIUM AN Operas.

The Rival Candidates for the Governorship of Tennessee Tell Stories on Each Other— ‘Bob’ Lucky anda Great Schemer—Alf’s Quick Temper—Campaign Yarns, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCIH. MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 7.—It was night- fall, says a letter received yesterday, when the party stopped atthe house of Mr. Rippy, between Lawrenceburg and Waynesborough, which had been converted into a species of hostelry. The hospitality of the proprietor exceeded the dimensions of his home, and the thirteen weary pilgrims who composed the party had to be content with meagre lodgings. Aroom had been reserved tor the brothers, and their escort deemed themselves fortunate that they could be protected from the raw at- mosphere upon the pallets spread upon the rough floor. After a substantial supper they gathered about a huge oaken fire which lit up the room where the brothers were to sleep, and before that genial blaze all bardships were forgotten. At once they surrendered themselves to the restful influences of the homely scene, The brothers occupied seats at the opposite cor- ners of the hearth. The party gathered around themina semicircle, ‘*‘What sort of a boy was LBob?’’ sombody asked of his brother. Alt removed the fragrant weed from his lips and turning his chair toward the fire and peer- ing into the blaze while a smile stole over his countenance, said, ‘‘Well, he was a queer boy. To begin with—’’ “Be careful,Alf,’’ smilingly said his younger brother. AN ARTFUL DODGER. ‘*All right;’’ and then continuing: ‘*Yes,ha was queer, Bob was always an artfu: dodger. He was what the boys now call a ‘stick artist.’ I willexplain. He wagin all manner of mischief at all times, but he hada knack of getting out of the worst scrapes withouta scratch, while Natand Jim and I caught the devil. He was anatural born humorist, and with his droll ways could trick the old folks nine times out of ten. He would lead us Into mischief and then get out just in the nick of time and leave us to catch the consequences. A lucky star bas been over that boy,’’ pointing to Bob, ‘‘from the day that he was born. He wouldsteal our marbles and we could never catch him. He would play allsorts of jokes on us but we could never catch him. He would take more liberties about the house than any of us, but somehow, he managed to escape the punish- nent, while if we did the same thing we would getathrashing. Thatisthe sortotachap he was, but the happy faculty of always alighting on his feet bas followed gm from that day to this. He always could tellthe soit side of a person almost fromthe days of his infancy und he never failed to make the most of his knowledge. Yes, Bob has ever been an artful dodger.’’ ALF QUICK TEMPERED. After the laughter which this sally created had ceased, the same inquisitor asked Bob of the boyhood of Aif. ‘*Weill,’’ said Bob, with a merry twinkle in his eye, ‘‘Alf had more temper than I; he had more fight thanI did, but lhad morefun. He was quick toresent an injury, and equally quick to forgive. He was always fond of hunt- ing. When amere lad he would go out on the mountain withan old man who lived near us and camp out for weeks at a time. Ibelievejhefhad rather hunt now than do ayy: cise. Alf was my favorite brother. ifl had a favorite, and 1 think he thought the mostoft me, although he never told me so, forhe always did haveaway of concealing his affection from those he loved. Father thought there was more outcome in Alf than any of us, but Jim who invented that gun of which you have‘heard. isthe smartest. Alf always wasakeen one. Yon may be sure he could work a scheme as good as anybody.’’ Columns could not more accurately portray their relationship to each other. They are both musicians and frequently play at the farmhouses where they are entertained, and Alf is regarded as one of the most intellectual men and one of the most finished and powerful! debaters in the State. There is little question of his mental superiority to Bob. but he does not ossess that wonderful personal magnetism or which the latter is distinguished. This is the first time they have been rivals for the same office. In his twenty-eighth year, and within a week after he had secured his hcense to practice law, Bob secured the nomination of the Democratic party of the First District for Congress. Aif made a strong effort to get the nomination of the Republicans. It is said he would have been successful except for the fact that Petti- bone purchased the delegates who had been chosen to vote forhim. The campaign was intensely personal. Bob spoke on the stump two or three times a day. A MEMORABLE CAMPAIGN. Of that memorable campaign, he said: *‘‘] had every woman in the district and every young Man on my side; the girls never ceased canvassing for me; they made their sweet- hearts vote forme. As for the old women, I had a mortgage onthem. Itis a solemn fact that nearly every point where I went they would come up to bring apples and chestnuts for me to take along with me tothe next point. I kissed every child I saw, and I know that there are more children named after me, who were born in that campaign, than any other man had named for himin any district in the United States. ’’ in anecdote he is unsurpassed. He has a way of ee all his points insuch & manner as to make his arguments plain, striking and as vivid as a painting by a master hand. Alf Taylor does not hope for election.. He real- izes that he will be beaten but heis deter- mined to keep his majority below the old 40,000 and as near as possible the 9,000 of two ears ago. Bob, on the other hand, desires to crease the majority for more than one rea- son. His ambition is to go to the United Ne wants States Senate, and the glory of helping to elect the re this fall that it elect him in January, In this purpose he will be opposed by nearly every leader in his ge ARTIFICIAL EYES A SPECIALTY. 43 Pp - They put him forward for Governor, Phinking to net him out of the way, but they A are already becoming alarmed. His popu- larity is greater than they ever dreamed of, and it seems plain that in attempting to shelve him they have effectually shelved themselves. Now they are divided in opinion, doubting whether they can better win with Gov. Bate or John F. House. Gen. Dibreil, who was a candidate for the nomination for Governor before the last Democratic Conven- tion, pena until a few days before that Bob would not be in his way. He believes he had helped to drive a nail in his political coffin some months befure by aiding him to obtain an appointment as Pension Agent with a salary of $4,500 a year. BOB A 8LICK ONE, A leading Tennesseean, an old acquaintance of Bob’s, told me a story yesterday of how he managed to secure the office, which is worth repeating: Bob was ona visit to Washington in the interest of two friends. They were ex- Confederate soldiers, and both wanted places as pension agents. One day, in conversation with friends, he said he was determined to go home: that he had spent every dollar he had in the world trying to get elected to Congress, and he was afraid his family would suffer. Mr. J. M. Harris, a nephew of Senator Harris, happened to be standing among the listeners. ‘‘I don’t want you to go back on a friend, Bob,’’ he re- marked, ‘‘but the President has emphatically declared that he will not appoint. an ex-Con- federate to pay pensions to Union soldiers. Set them offthe track and trv for it yourself. You were a Union man, and I believe you can get the office.’’ Bob said he had never thought of it before, but would see. He obtained the promise of the co-operation of both the Tennessee Senators who agreed to provide, if possible, for his two friends. They agreed to get out of the wayon a telegram from him. ‘‘Are you going torun for Gov- ernorif vou get the office, Bob?’* Mr. Harris asked. ‘‘I would not have it if it were offered me on a Silver salver,’’ he declared. And yet in six months he was pipe-laying for the nomination. Heis anatural born politician and wiil be one as long us he lives.

A MUGWUMP’S VIEWS. Editor Godkin Has Unbounded Faith in the President’s Civil Service Reform, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCE. NEW YORK, October 7.—The mugwump leaders in New York see nothing in the report of Chief Mugwump Swift of Indianapolis, charging gross violation ofthe civil-service law in the Indianapolis Post-office and through- out the State gencrally, to cause them to lose their faith in the law. Aclipping from the World, containing the facts in the case, waz shown to zz. L. Godkin, the editor of the Evening Post, yesterday. ‘'‘I saw about the same thing several weeks ago,’’ he said, ‘‘and am a little surprised that no ac- tion has been taken in the matter. Charges of violations of the civil service law are apt to be exaggerated. I have no doubt, however, that three-fourths of the charges made by Mr. Swift are substantially true, and I am confident that the President will take steps to punish the offenders. But it is hardly fair or right to judge the movements of the Adiinistration at Washington from a local standpoint. We might have a bad post- master here, and petition the President to remove him. Naturally, it would have a great local interest, and we would wonder at any delay in action on our petition, but when we come to remember that — tudes of things are'constantly before the Presi- dent, and that there are 54,000 Post-offices in the country to be looked after, we should be more patient. I have every confidence in President Cleveland, and be- lieve him to be honest in his desire to reform the service of the Government. He has ac- complisned a # great deal. It is probably true that the majority of the ‘working’ politicians in the Democratic arty do not sympathize with Mr. Cleyeland in his reform work, and have thrown out obstacies in his way. The mass of people have faith in him. Such exposures as made by Mr. Swift will result in improving the service and strengthening the system of re- form. The politicians arc making the dis- covery that the President is terribly in earnest in the matter and they will gradually conform to him and accept civil-service reform as an established fact.’’ ‘*Do you think Cleveland will be renomi- nated?’’ ‘*Yes, and elected. He is the only man I know of who can draw support from others than those of his party, and he will get more Republican votes next time than he did be- fore. In 1884 many Republicans who were actually hostile to Blaine were restrained from voting against him on account of the bugbear of the. ruin a Democratic Administration would bring. That bugbear is no more, and they will support Cleveland now from the start, Mr. Blaine will , hee be the Republican nominee. Many Republicans seem to believe that he can come:nearer winning than any Other manthey have, and I am inclined to think they are right. But he will be beaten worse than he was before by Cleveland.’’ Alluding to the movement in favor of Henry George for Mayor he said he did not think Mr, George’s vote would be as large as expected.

His Arrival Home Last Evening—Some Sharp Thrusts at the ‘‘Uncrowned King” and His Swelled Head—The Belfast Riots—An In- teresting Chat With the Wrathful Knight of St. Patrick. Mr. Marcus A. Wolff returned from his European tour last evening. He came down to his office this morning with a double-sized chestnut gong, butin spite of its silver pro- tests his friends would address him as ‘‘lPar- nell’’ and ask him what he thought of home rule. After going over the story of Mr.Parnell’s refusal to grant him an audience or acknowl- edge the receipt of the $1,000 which he had sent the Irish leader as a gift of the Knights of St. Patrick of St. Louis, Mr. Wolff told a Posr- DISPATCH reporter several facts not yet made public. ‘‘*The factis,’’ said Mr. Wolff, ‘‘the adulation of America has given Parnell the swellhead and that is all that can be said. I understand mine was not the only instance of INSULTING NEGLECT. I was told in London by well-informed Americans that members of Congress and other prominent men of the United States, have found it impossible tosee Parnell. You see he has been told so much that heis the ‘Uncrowned King’ that everything he does isin line with the habits of monarchy. No- body knows where he eats or sleeps or stays in London. All his movements are shrouded in a mystery that he thinks will add to his importance. I could have got an audience with Queen Victoria or the Czar with less effort than I put forth to see Parnell. It wasn't rush of business that pre- vented him from answering my request be- cause with his army of secretaries he could have sent mealine saying he had received the draft. I know some of the friends of home rule here are complaining because I made the matter public, but after waiting two weeks in London and getting no reply, I was too .indigpant to hold in. When I met the New York WORLD’S correspondent in London, I frankiy told him the snub I had received, and of course America knew itin afew hours. After my mission as a representative of the Knights was fulfilled I took up the case as an ‘individual, and for whatever I have since said about Parnell [am responsible as a citizen. - **Ttold Parnell that in a —— letter I wrote him before leaving ndon and to which, of course, he has not replied. One of the statements made in the lietter was somewhat like this: ‘You may call this insolent,iMr. Parnell, but as insolence can only exist in the relations of superior and in- ferior, I would not agree to such an opinion if expressed by you. In my country one gentie- mun always acknowledges another's commu- nication, Dut you have utterly ignored me.’ In conclusion I said: ‘God save Ireland and Home Rule from its chief exponent.’ Those were my sentiments on leaving London, and they are yet. So far I have not received any in- formation that THE DRAFT EVER REACHED PARNELL, and you can imagine my predicament with a report to make to a society of atrust they re- posed in meand noreceiptto show for the missing money. The draft was made payable to Parnell’s order, and was on the Fourth Na- tional Bank of this city. To-morrow I shall learn from themif Parnell has cushed it. I would do so to-day only that the banks are closed.’’ Mr. Wolff was at Belfast in the midst of the very worst rioting, and says that so far as he could learn the trouble was a regular Kerry Patch disorder, nothing but a war between the hoodlums and the law and order people. There is no element of religion in it. Any- body, whether Catholic or Protestant, wearing the uniform of authority is at once get upon by the rioters.
