Broiling can be done in the oven of the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the Wire Gauze Oven Door, more perfectly than over the live coals. Lay the steak, chops, ham or fish on a wire breiler or meat rack, placing it in an ordinary bake pan to catch the drippings. Allow it to remain in the oven with the door closed 15 or 20 minutes. No turnin isrequired. At the end of this time it wi be found nicely cooked ready to serve. ‘THISIS THE IDEAL WAY TO BROIL MEATS. There is no taint of coal-zgas or smoke, and the meats are more tender and better in flavor than those broiled over the coals.

Jas. Penderergst, alias John Mitchell, alias Jas. Reilly, the&{ mysterious presence at the Goverr ment luijding, is still held in secret custody. No pergon has been allowed to see him except the officials, but, notwitistanding this fact, the most material evidence elicited at the inquiry is in the pos- session of the indicted parties, a fact which leaves no reason why the public should be kept in furtherignorance. Although Mitch- ellis kept a close prisoner inthe fourth story his statement was Obtained by a PosT-Di1s- PATCH reporter. In substance it is as follows: ‘*My right name isJas. Pendergrast. I gave the name of John Mitchell be- cause that was the name that I tried to. vote on election day. I was with several other fellows at the time. On election morning Isaw acrowd of fellowsina wagon and [jumpedin. They were whooping itup, andI didn’task them any questions.

On the way down town he took outa lot oi slips of paper containing names to be voted on, The one I got had the name of John Mitchell on’ it. All the other fel- lows yoted e° «ept me and another fellow who hadthe name of W. B. Christian. That Supervisor objected and Paddy Golden said we had aright to vote. Hetold usto getinto the wagon and we drove over to the City Hall. We did not go in but Golden did. He went into the back room there and saw somebody. We wasn’t asked any questions by any body. WHEN GOLDEN CAME OUT he had two certificates of registration, and we went back to the poll. We got arrested there and were taken down to this building. Jim Busby came down and went and got Eddie Butler, who went on my bond in the sum of $1,000. Iwent away and went to-see some attorneys. I told them allaboutit, and asked whatI should do, Mr. Martin said, ‘Well, if that’s the case you had better go up there and throw yourself on the mercy of the Court.’ I was going to do this and came down here to answer the charge. I came up-stairs about 10:30 o’clock, and I didn’t see anybody around, so I went down- stairs again. When I went down I met Pat McNamara and Constable Conway. We were talking about iy case, and we walked outon the street. Imet Jim Busby out there and we took adrink, then we walked down to Fourth street. Busby was the man that got me the bond. He gave me a dollar, and said, ‘Yougo over to East St. Louis; I’ll come overand see you this aiternoon. We’ll beat the bond first and then we’ll beat the case. Lwentoverto East St. Louis, and that afternoon Busby and McNamara came over. They gave me $27 incash anda ticket on the Chicago & Alton Road to Chicago. I left that night and went to Chicago straight. While Il was there I went under the nameof teilly. I wrote toa friend named Green here and told him about where I was aud where he could write to me. It was these let- ters that were found on me when I was arrested *~by that detective. I went beforethe Grand-jury on last Friday and gavo my testimony then. I was the last witness that day and wasn’t taken before them untll ali the other witnesses and people around here had gone away.’’ .ACARE AT THE FOUR COURTS. The Announcement in the papers that the Tnited States Grand-jury had returned another batch of indictments against parties not yet arrested has created considerable consterna- tion atthe Four Courts among some of the city and State employes. This morning a man came to the building and inquired for one of the deputy sheriffs, After being told that hq was not present the man entered Judge Noonan’s private room. Deputy Court-Clerk Fitzgerald came to the conclusion that the caller was a United States Deputy Marshal, and that he wanted to arrest the deputy on an indictment. He informed some of the other deputy sheriffs of his fears, and they jumped atthe conclusion that Fitz- gerald was correct in his suspicions. One of ~ them had a key to the Judge’s room and locked the man up in it. After keeping him in there some _ time the deputy sheriff who was supposed to have been indicted arrived atthe building and an- nounced himselfready to surrender himself, stating he could procure bond. The door of the judge’s roem was unlocked and the After making the announce- IN SAFER QUARTERS.

The bill has just passed in Congress and serves to complicate matters wofully here. It will result in the trans- fer of the court to Hannibal! each session forthe he lawyers are unanimous in their condem- nation of the bill. Besides the fact that it was entirely unnecessary and will only increase the expeases uf the court it seriously affects the great work of purifying elections now un- der way inthiscity. This was possibly not unforeseen by some of the promoters of the bill. Judge Treat has ordered a special petit jury to appear on the 8th prox. to try the elec- tion fraud cases. The defendants had accord- ingly been released on security to appear from day to day or on the order of the court at any time pending the resuits of a trial on the indictment. He had also ordered a Grand-jury for the United States Circult Court, which would bein session during the trials, to follow up the inquiry based on the developments of the trials. As these would be drawn from all parts of the old district the sary to recall the order. After con- sulting with District-Attorney Bashaw, Judge Treat made the following order? ‘*The order heretofore rendered to summon a petit jury for the 8th of March next is. hereby vacated. The Marshalis orderedto suspend Service as far a3 the same is not already made, and notify the parties served that their attend- ance will not be needed.’’ The Court then directed the deputy clerk of the Circuit Court that the order for a Grand- jury for the third Tuesday in March was va- cated, and thatthe persons served might be notified that their attendance would not be re- quired. Consequently things will remain in this condition until the question of redistric- tion is positively settled. THE ARRESTS. Leonard Thornhill, who was appointed clerk ofelection for Precinct Ninety-eight of the Tenth Ward, was the first prisoner brought in to-day under the capiases issued esterday. He is employed at the Little Brown Jug saloon. He was arrested on one of the first indict- ments found by the Grand-jury and gave bond for his appearance in the sum of $2,500, with James Cullinane as security. On hia second arraignment he gave his personal recog- nizance and to-day renewed the same on the new indictment, in which he is charged with having by fraud and intimidation, deprived forty-seven legal voters of the 98th precinct of their vote atthe last election. He was re- leased to appear on the order of the Court. Edward Green, clerk at the oflice of Jus- tice James Spaulding, southeast corner of Twelfth and Olive streets, was rearrested this morning, but was released on his own recognizance. Green was first indict- ed as a judge of election for Precinct 100 of the Tenth Ward, and charged with having falsified the returns of that precinct to give Nathan Frank thirty-five of Glover’s votes for Con- gress. Green made statements which brought about an investigation and his indictment. He had, however, only acted as clerk and not as judge,as was charged in the indictment. To remedy this mistake a new indictment was re. turned yesterday. At noon to-day John E. Kelley, bDarkeeper at Blong’s saloom, a Tenth Ward stronghold, at Jefferson avenue and Morgan street, was arrested by United States Deputy Marshal Cousins, An indictufent against Kelly charges him with having registered in the name of other parties. This is .the first in- dictment against him. He will give bond this afternoon. A BIG BLOW. St. Louis Earns the Title of the ‘*Windy ty.”" risers this morning on ing effect of the wild around an day. There were few lat accountof the awake wind that went caforting hour or so_ before 10 «dawn of Atmidnight there was coming uv from the South}: but at 1:30 the ve locity suddenly grew to\thirty-six miles an hour. This was a ‘good starter, but wagonly a starter, the velocity diminish- ing to a breeze’s speed till 3:30, when the wind woke up again, and put sleepers in,the same condition. Inthe half-hour after4 a. m. the air was traveling atthe rate of forty miles an hour, which caused windows to rattle, houses to tremble and the loose brick to fall from chimneys and play ten pins on the roof. During the blow an iron smoke- stack forty feet high was blown off Evans jros.’ tobacco warehouse on Twelfth and Poplar streets. It was carried across the alley between Eleyenth and Twelfth streets. The property is owned by the Chotteau heirs. The gale maintained this velocity during the forenoon but the highest figure was not reached till about 11:40 when a speed of forty- four miles an hour was recorded at the Signal office? It has been subsiding since and at S-e-D. Wes was only blowing at a 30-miles gait. The wind was caused by the high gradient or dif- ference in the air pressures here and at Chicago. At 8t. Louis last night the barometer was 29.35, and at Chicago, 29.03, the difference of 2-100 being great enough to cause the rush of air. The temperature has fallen as the dampness passed off and a fall from 65 yesterday to 46 degs. at3 p. m. is noted with prospects of a further fall by morning, but no flag is up. A FATAL GUST, in a Wind Storm. ROCHESTER, N. Y., February 18.—A young girl and a man lost their lives here to-day.

A gust of wind of more than ordinary strength snapped off two large poles which carry telegraph wires across the bridge, and which tell and carried with them the two spans of the bridge upon which they stood. Two persons in an _ office on the bank of the river state that they were horrified to see a girl go down with the wreck and plunge in the flood. The river is very high and the torrent carried her rapidly away. The last they saw of her she was passing beneath the canal aqueduct. Other persons say ® man was alse carried away with the bridge.

Gladstene’s Revelation—Archbishop Croker Advocates Non-Payment of Rent—Bis- marck Determined to Have a Majority inthe New Keichstag—The War Scare— Foreign News. SpeciaiCatiegram tothe Post-Dispatch. LONDON, February 18.—Yesterday Mr. Dillon carried out the plan to which he alluded three days ago, namely, leaving the dock in Dublin vO appear in the Commons; and from his seat inuipeach the action of the Government, as he said, in deliberately and maliciously packing a jury to convict him and his fellow-travers- ers. He arose amid great excitement, every- one believing thatascene which would be historical was about to be enacted. The Speaker’s action was entirely unanticipated by the Irish members, who are usually so sharp in matters of parliamentary procedure. THE CONTROVERSY. The following is a verbatim report of the conversation between the Speaker and Dillon on the subject. After alluding to the attempt of the Crown to appoint a personal enemy of himself, practically to a position of his prose- cutor, Dillon said: ‘‘Why was not the panel regularly struck?’’ The Speaker said: ‘‘I’m sorry to interrupt the gentleman, but it is not competent for him to anticipale the motion of the honorable member for West Belfast (Sexton), with refer- ence to jury packing.’’ = Mr. Dillon said he hardly expected inter- ruption from the chair. He was on his trial. The jury had been deliberately and malicious- ly packed by his enemies. The Speaker replied: ‘‘The honorable gentle- man has just committed a flagrant violation of myruling. Ifthe honorable gentleman re- fers to jury packing, I must interfere.’’ Mr. Dillon said he accepted the Speaker’s ruling, but he was not referring to jury-pack- ing, butthe striking of apanel. [Ministerial laughter.] He would ask whether he was entitled to move, as an amendment, the in- sertion of the words: ‘‘To assure her Majesty that while deeply regretting the action of the Irish Executive with reference to the state of the trials now proceeding in Dublin.’’ The Speaker: I consider the honorable gentleman is not entitled to move an amend- ment. Mr. Dillon: Then under these circum- stances, sir, Ican neither give a personal ex- planation norexposethe proceedings of the Government in Dublin, and asIcan not be allowed to defend myself, I must submit in silence? THE WHOLE SITTING in fact, wasa geries of surprises which just missed being sefisations. Every one is talking this morning about the closure and the way in wnich the Speaker stopped atl attempts to continue the debate last night... Nobody of authority expresses the opinion that he was unjust, butthe opinion is common that such action, if repeated, would soon be iIntoler- able, ‘‘INFAMOUS.’’ Among the Radicals here there is indigna- tion that the discussion of Dillon’s trial was summarily stopped. Both from Irishmen and Englishmen the complaint is loud and deep. The point at issue is extremely serious, namely, Dillon was forbidden to dis- cuss jury packing, and Sexton had already a motion onthe notice paper on the same sub- ject. Both Morley and Beach and others have already abundantly discussed jury-packing. Why did notthe Speaker stop them? Secondly, Sexton has now withdrawaja his motion, and an attempt will be made to- night to revive the subject. But it is the intention of the Government to cause one of its supporters to place another motion to the same effect upon the paper, thus checkmating Dillon again. That means that whenever the Government an- ticipates an unpleasant discussion it can block it by getting private notice of a motion put down for some day six months hence. Thatis thatthe discussion on any and every subject canthus be summarily gagged. ‘‘Infamous’’ is the word most in use this morning to characterize this state of things. Ihave reason to believe that a con- yiction cannot be reached in the Dillon trial. CAN'T CONVICT. The jury as now constituted consists of eight Protestants, allof whom are reckoned to be safe to convict; ome Quaker, who, it is be- lieved, will refuse to find a verdict of guilty, and three Catholics, all of whom are relied upon to prevent such calamity as the conviction of Dillon and his allies. ‘The trial will be overin a week, when the jury will disagree, as they are practically certain to do. The failure to convict the campaigners will be relied upon by the Government as incontrovertible proof of the absolute necessity for a coercion act. It must also be added that there is, conse: quently, a prospect of a considerable out- burst of agrarian crime in Ireland. England. AN IGNORED FACT. LONDON, February 18.—Mr. Gladstone has written aletterin which he says he believes that many members of the House of Commons are ignorant of the fact that down to the time of the Union with the English, the Irish Prot- estants were the most prominent supporters of Irish nationality. He adds: ‘‘They have now an opportunity of supporting nationality within safe bounds, giving peace to Ireland and comfort to the whole kingdom.’’ APPROVED BY THE PRESS.

Interest Shown by Posts all Over the Coune iry—Programme by Days. The arrangements for the Grand Army of the Republic encampment are being perfected with all possible speed. Railroad pas- senyger agents say they are re- ceiving numerous requests for rates from committees appointed by posts, all over the country, who wish to come to St. Louis and make arrangements for the accommodation of the posts on tlteir arrival. These special committees are to book their posts for quarters and attend to ail those preliminaries which the local committees can not be expected to attend to, The Veteran Zouaves of Elizabeth, N. oa who were here lagt year on their way to San Francisco and attracted considerable notice will come. George H. Thomas Post of San Francisco is torming a battalion of five companies, sixty men each, under command of Ma}. Norton. They will have new uniforms, and wiil be as much’a feature of the encampment here as the Knights Templars from California were in the Triennial Con- clave. Letters of inquiry are being received all the time from other tmportant posts, which iridicate an astonishing degree of inter- est at this early day. The pro- gramme of the encampment will be as follows: On Saturday, September %, the Executive Committee will meet at the South- ern Hotel to lay ont the plan for the work of the convention. On Monday, September 26, the council of administration which is practically an auditing committee will meet at the same place to pass upon the ac- counts of tbe Quartermaster and Ad- jutant-General and reports of other officers. Tuesday will be the day of the parade. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be devoted to convention work, but one of those nights it is expectéd will be made memorable by a second parade through the illuminated streets. Chairmen of twenty committees have been appointed and most of the committeemen selected to attend to the various parts of the preparatory work devolving tpon the local posts. These committees witl meet in a few days to form a general plan. posts will fit up down-town headquarters for the entertainment of visitors. Frank P, Blair Post has secured Masonic Hall, Seventhand Market streets, and Ransome Post will probably secure the old National Guard Armory, Fourth street and Washington avenue. The __—iiatter ost is growing with wonderful rapidity, having inereased 139 per cent durin last year, added twenty-two men to its list o members last Saturday night, and has twenty- one waiting to be tuakenin at the next meet- ing. The encampment is awakenin old soldiers to such an extent tha all the posts are growing nearly as rapidly as the one mentioned. Frank P. Blair Post, the oldest of all, is the largest, Hassen- deubel Post is next in numbers, and Ransome Post ranks third. Grand Army Headquarters. Gen. D. P. Grier, Chairman of the General Executive Committee of the Grand Army En- campment has appointed J. 8. Steger, Secre- tary of the Committee and will, on Tuesday next, instal him in the permanent headquarters of the Committee in the Lindell Hotel. Space has been obtained om the ground floor of the Lindeil Hotelin the rear of the reading-room. Mr. Steger was un- tilrecently chief clerk in the office of C. P, Chesebro of the Wabash. He will devote hig whole time to Grand Army affairs until Octo- ber next. RIVER RATES AGAIN, . The Barge Line Side—Central Missouri klection—Railroad Notes. The barge line people who are scored just now by the grain menfor maintaining such high rates of freight on theriver where navie gation has opened with plen’y of water claim that they are justified in their charges. They say that thereisa scarcity of both barges and ocean vessel tonnage which com- pels them to demand a7cent rate. They say that from twenty to thirty barges of grain are held in New Orleans un- loaded because there are not enough vessels in port to take the grain. In consequence of this shortness of tonnage few barges are here or on their way to this market, and until. this drawback is overcome the presens high rate must be continued. On the other hand, the exporters claim thas there is no necessity for holding the barges in New Orleans waiting for ocean vessels, because thereisa large elevator there in which the grain could be stored, and thus free the barges, Even if the barge line cannot help the pres-; ent state of things, there is all the more necese sity for increased tonnage and a new line, Central Missouri Election.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. SPRINGFIELD, Illl., February 18.—The House this morning advanced the Senate bill ceding the locks and dams in the Illinois River to the United States Government, to: third reading, after an ineffectual attempt to amend. Two hours were spent in receiving petitions and re- ports of committees. Judge Messick’s bill, authorizing the owners of buildings to hold back from the contractor a sufficient por- tion of the price of construction to pay all subcontracts and material bilis, and making it a lien, if such amountis not retained, was reported favorably. right of Cook (United Labor) made are- port from a special committee that seventeen men employed inthe heating department of the State-house were compelled to work twelve hours per day, while the law requires but eight hours, and recommended that the Secretary of State be instructed to re ge d a sufficient force - require them to wor ut eight hours per day. Bailey of St. Clair spoke to the report chargz- ing that the State was robbing these men of four hours labor per day each, and it was such administration of law ‘‘which makes that abomination anarchists and socialists.’ Miller of Stark held that the Secretary of State was entirely within the law, which pro- vides thatany person may contract and agree to work as many meets PS day as he chooses. Judge Messick favored the adoption of the resolution, after the United Labor party had had an opportunity to expound their yiews: A point of order that the committee had ex- ceeded their authority in investigating the employes of the Secretary of State was sus- tained, and the House adjourned till Monday evening. THE SENATE. A flurry was produced in the Senate, this morning, when the Special Committee ap- pointed to investigate the pay roll made a re- ort recom mendilig a reduction of the num- ber of policemen from fifteen to seven, and pages from eighteen to stven. The report was adopted and the committee was continued to recommend what othér employes shall be discharged. Then will come the rub, since every Senator will want his man or boy retained. The only safe plan will be to draw lots. A resolution providing for participation in the centennial celebration of the settiement of Ohio and the Northwest Territory was adopt- ed. After the introduction of a few bills the Senate adjourned till Monday evening. as Sete DISCHARGED TO-DAY, Jt William Patterson, the Work-House Hay Contractor, and His Drivers. William Patterson, the Work-house bay con- tractor, and his drivers, Ed Burk and Frank Benz; had a preliminary hearing before Judge Noonan in the Court of Criminal Correction this morning on a charge of defrauding the city out of $9. It was claimed by the police officers who made the arrest that Patterson was in the habit of keeping three wagons, one light one and two heavy wagons. He would have the light wagon, weighing about 1,100 pounds, weizhed onthe scaleempty and would then go and change it for a wagon weighing 1,600 pounds which he would fill with hay and have weighed. This would give him credit for 500 pounds more than he actually deliv- ered. This wasthe story as it went, and the officers claimed they had weighed the wagon one day and detected the trick. At the pre- liminary hearing to-day the City Weigher said he used to give certificates of the weight of the wagon without actually weighing it, taking the driver's word for its weight. Judge Noonan: discharged the defendants, holding that if there was any criminal negiect anywhere it was on the part of the weigher, A SERIOUS CUTTING AFFRAY. David Bloom Stabbed This Morning by Ed Garrett. A serious cutting affray occurred this morn- ing at the honse No.918 North ELighteenth street. The first floor of the place is occupied by Mrs. Davis, and David Bloom, a middle-aged man, boards with her. A family named Garrett rent the upper fioor, and both fam- ilies enter by the same door. This morning Ed Garrett, a youth about 20 years of age, who lives upstairs with with his parents, so he says, went out fora while and when he came back dat 7:30 o’ clock Bloom held the door closed and refused to permithimtoenter. Finailyhe got in and they had some words. Garret®claims Bloom struck himand hethen drew a pocket-knife and slashed Bloom twice with it, cut- ting him on the head and also on the neck. Dr. Fleur, who was called in, pro- nounced the latter wound very dangerous. Garrett was arrested and taken to the Third District Station. The tip of the blade of the knife used in the cutting was broken, it is supposed, on his antagonist’s head. Officer Gallagher calied@ at the Four Courts later in the day and took out a warrant for assault te kill. —_—--~ ————— TWO YEARS IN THE PEN. Jake Townsend Convicted of Perjury in a Hurry. Jake Townsend, a negro, was placed on trial in the Criminal Court this morning on a charge of perjury. Some time ago theré wasa negro cutting scrape on Atlantic street, east of the Jefferson avenue bridge, in which Emma Mc- Gee was cut by one Henry Perkins. Town- send gave the information to the police on which Perkins was. arrested, claiming he had seen him cut the woman. | At the preliminary hearing of the case in the the Court of Criminal Correction before pro- Visional Judge Thomas B. Harvey, Townsend testified thatit was not Perkins but another negro who @id the cutting. Itis for his testi- mony in this trial that Townsend was indicted for perjury. After the testimony had been heard the jury retired, and soon returned with averdict of guilty, assessing bis punishment at two years in the Penttentiary. A Mystery.

SIONS AFTER FEBRUARY 12. Representative Curran Raids the Lobbyists —The Senate Gives Submission a Parting Kick—Labor Legislation—Bills Passed by the Senate—Lively Debate Over the Joint Railroad Bill in the House—Proceedings of the Missouri Legislature. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCR. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., February 18.—The House this morning adopted the Church reso- lution to hotd-night sessions on and after Feb- ruary 21. Mr. Curran of st. Louis created some little excitement by calling for the enforcement of the rules prohibiting the presence of lobbyists on the floor of the House. He objected par- ticularly to Mr. Schnitzer, Manager of the Singer Sewing Machine Company, who, he claimed, was endeavoring to defeat his bill against the holding of mortgages on sewing machines. The Speaker directed the Sergeant- at-Arms to clear the floor and Mr. Schnitzer decamped. The Senate adjourned till Monday at 2 o’clock. THE SENATE. The Senate, this morning, gave submission a parting kick, and at the same time estab- lisued an important precedent which is likely to prove troublesome in the near future, when the passage of the Senate militia bill is at- tempted in the House, by adopting the Saiton- stall resolution, which, in effect, declares that because the Senate defeatea one sub- mission resolution it would be a waste of time to consider any other meas- ure of a similar nature, even though it had already passed the other branch ofthe General Assembly, and therefore the House submission resolution should be indefi- nitely postponed. When the elerk had read the resolution, Senator McGinnis moved that it be adopted and spread on the Senate jour- nal, Senator Castleman moved to amend by in- cluding in the record the Presi- dent’s ruling that the mere fact that the Sen- ate had already acted on submission, did not necessarily preciude thé rossibility of the passage by the Senate of the House submission resolution, The amendmént was adopted and Senator McGinnis’ motion to adopt the entire resolution then prevailed by the following vote: Yeas: Senators Allen, Ball, Castleman, Clay- combe, Davisson, Downing, Hazel, Hunter, Johnson of Montgomery, Kerwin, Ketchum, McGinnis, Mackay, Mansfield, Moran, Ryors, Saltonstall, Sears, Smith and Wood—20. Nays: Senators Gideon, Johnson of Madison, Parcher, Proctor, Seabourn, Sheldon, Simrall, Sparks and Taggart—4». Senator Sheldon introduced a bill making it a felony for any person or persons to prevent or attempt to prevent other persons from ac- cepting employment or attempting by threats or intimidation to prevent them from working. It is designed to protect employes and em- ployers during strikes. The following bills were read a third time and passed: An act to legalize the taking of depositions of convicts within the walls of the State Pen- itentiary. An actentitling cities of 100,000 inhabitants or over to two Justices of the Peace in addi- tion to the number allowed by law to the township in which such city may be situated. Exempting from taxation real estate and per- sonal property used exclusively by agricult- ural or horticultural societies, THE HOUSE. In the House this morning Chairman Brown of the Internal Improvements Committee re- ported from the committee several amend- ments tothe joint railroad bili to prevent ex- tortion, discrimination, pooling, ete. He et- plained that, with one exception, which strikes out the clause placing the retail and wholesale traffic on an equal footing and per- mits instead discrimination in rates in favor of wholesale shipments, the amendments all were designed to correct little verbal inaccu- racies. Dr. Goodykoontz caught the Speaker’s eye. He said: ‘‘In view of the fact that there area number of these amendments I move thatthe bill with the amendments be ordered printed for the information of the House.’’ This apparently innocent motion stirred up no end of opposition from Messrs. Sebree, Brown, Shelton and other members of the committee, who acted pretty much as if they discovered in ita scheme te defeat consider- ation of the measure by repeated postpone- ments and a number of rather excited speeches were made on both sides in which Chas. Noland alone of the entire House, came to oodykoontz’ rescue. Finally Dr. Goody- koontz said: ‘‘l had no intention of doin anything wrong when I_made my motion, an I think. the gentlemen are unnecessarily alarmed. I withdraw my motion.’’ A few minutes later the bill cameup for en- grossment. Brown of Kansas City moved the adoption of the amendments reported and recommended by the joint committees. Bodin of Randolph madeaspeech in favor of an amendment which he said was designed to protect small intermediate towns and cities by providing that the same rate shall be charged by railroad companies from interme- diate to terminal points, as from terminal to intermediate points. Moore of Laclede, Noland of St. Lonis, Booth of Franklin and other prominent members discussed other amendments and suggestions which were offered by different members, but none of which were adopted. , Miller of Kansas City took a bold stand against the clause of the bill prohibiting pool- ing, butfailed toreceive support from any quarter. The debate was long and dreary and ac- complished nothing. The Honse took a recess until 2 o'clock pending the discussion. ee sen - ee BUTLER ON THE STAND, Progress ‘of the Suit of Lester Against the General. NEw York, February 18.—The suit of J. H. Lester against Gen. B. F. Butler was contin- ued to-day in the United States Circuit Court. A juryman being ill, by consént of both par- ties the case proceeded with eleven jurors. Cornwell Bradley of Newark, N. J., testified that he lived in Richmond from 1854 to 1873. During the war he wasengaged in manu- facturing ammunition for the Confederate Gov- ernment. He knew Lester and knew him to be engaged in manufacturing carbines for the Confederacy. It was generally known that Lester wasa partner inthe Lester Com- any, and that Be was called Col. Lester. itneéss was near Lester’s shop nearly every day and never saw him working at anything. He saw guns made at the factory. Gen. Butler was the next witness. He said he had no pecuniary interest in the suit, as, by an act of Congress, all officers were indém- nifled against all damages. He was assigned a3 a military general in the department of Vir- giniain 1834. The witness continued: *‘I took command in November, 1863, While in the discharge of my duties a charge was brought in to me against J. H. Lester. I called on Mr. Lester and he handed me a let- ter from Mr. Whiting of Boston. I read the letter and then asked Lester what I eould do forhim. He said: ‘I want to get my family through by a flag-of truce boat.’ I told him he would have to wait for several days and he scemed troubled. I asked him if he had any money. This I did because it was then our habit to furnish refugees with money if they had none. Then Mr. Davenport camein. He handed me a note, which Mr. Davenport testi- fied to, telling me that he knew Lester and that he wasa scoundre}l.’’ FALSE REPORTS. Mistaken for a Serious Contagion. Within the past few days several supposed cases of small-pox have been reported from various parts ofthe city. As the Health De- partment is on the alert to check this conta- xion in its ineipleney physicians were prompt- ly dispatched from the City Dispensary in each instance. An examination proved that the cases were not small-pox but measles and similar diseases. Speaking of the ‘cases reported Heaith Commissioner Stevenson said: ‘‘We investigate all such reports, but there s tittle robability that they are cases of stnall-pox. Ve have not hada case of small-pox in this city for twenty months. There fs none in this part of the eountry.

New York, February 18.—The strike of coopers in this city has not yet interfered with the trade of the millers, partly because itis now the dull season and there is an immense stock of barrels on hand, and from the fact that the Knights of Labor Assembly, No. 49, have not yet been able to get control of the men employed at one of the largest cooper- ages in the vicinity. Another reason that the a failure is that the desire of many of the coopers to return to work causés a Iack of confidence in District Assembly, No. 49. The cause of this want of faith is the fiasco made by the ’long- shoremeh’s strike and the repudiation by No. 49 of all responsibility when failure had to be acknowledged, and the refusal to support those ’longshoremen who had given up good positions to obey the call of the committee to come out. The master coopers have large stocks of barrels on hand and a plentiful sup- ply can be obtained from the many little coop- erages, which only employ from six to twenty men, and which are scattered all over the city. One man says he will bring colored men from his North Carolina shops if the strikers won’t accept his terms. He will keep them out anyway now until Aprill. He always has paid the men’s own rates, and treated them right, and now he will conduct his busi- ness as he pleases, and not as the men choose to dictate. If necessary Darrels will be brought from Minneapolis, where there are millions always on hand. But it is not expected that this will be necessa Many of tne coopers who went out only did so from fear of persona! in- jury, and would embrace the first chance they can get to work. The ’longshoremen'are gradually finding places, if not on the pliers, elsewhere, and it is estimated that two-thirds of the strikers aré now at work. Driving Away Labor Agents. NEW ORLEANS, La., February 18.—The labor question is still agitating the farmers and planters of the hill country of Central Missis- sippi, and those who are losing their hands are making it hot for the labor agents. The latest sensation in tiris line is the expulsion of H H. Haromond, an old resident of Harris- ton, of the Mississippi Valley Road, from that town, for inducing negroes to leave the coun- try fortheswamps. Hammond is well-to-do, and for some weeks past he has been suspected of being a silent partner in one of the labor agencies operating in that neighbor- hood. Asthe planters continued to lose their tenants, detectives were engaged to discover who it was that has persuaded so many negroes to leave the country, and after a party of twenty-five first-class fleld hands departed through Harriston, it was discovered that Hamipond was the agent who enticed them to leave. The agents had been warned away from MUHarriston, and no excep- tion was made in Hammond’s case. He was not molested until the detectives were fully satisfied that it was through him so many negroes had been carried off. H. B. McClure of Fayette was found to be equally guilty, and an indignation meeting was held atthe Fayette Court-house. A committee of twenty-five was selected to wait on the men and warn them away. McClure was notified and at once lettthe place. The planters called on Hammond and gaye him twenty-four hours in which to leave. He was not allowed to argue and as the committeemen evidently meant business he did not hesitate. Both men are now in Vicksburg. Tanners Resume Work. PITTSBURG, Pa., February 18.—The Allegheny tanners, who struck three weeks ago for an advance in wages of 25 cents per day, have de- cided to resume work next Monday at the old wages. COMPLETELY SUBMERGED. The Flood in South Chicago Extending— Danger at Lyons, Mich CHICAGO, February 18.—The inhabitants of South Chicago and their hopes for a diminu- tion of the flood, which the bright weather of Wednesday promised, were dampened by yes- terday’s rain and it is feared considerable damage willbe done, should the water rise much higher. The streets and sidewalks in the northern part of the town are invisible and the cellars completely filled with water. The water in the yards of some houses is several feet deep and at one house the water reaches the level of the first floor, compelling the occupants to move. The river was several inches higher than on Wednesday and was still rising last night. Inthe neighborhood of Cummings the water was much deeper yesterday. The track of the Belt Line Railroad is at least six inches under water, and the rails of the Rock Island are partiy submerged. In One Hundred and Sixth street the water is from six to eighteen inches deep. A severe thunder and lightning storin prevailed last evening, during which the house of E. T. Martin, in Hyde Park, was struck and sustained considerabie damage, the lightning tearing a ragged hole inthe roef and demolishing the ceilings and walis. Running down the chimney it entered the .itchen range, which was completely de- stroyed. The lightning then ran out the open doorard entered the cellar through a/P thick stone wall, Knocking the stones and mortar in alldirections. After playing havoc among the things in there, it burst through a window and finally disappeared down a weil. | li Six people were inthe house at the time, but received no physical injury. a The Ohio’s Boom, “ CINCINNATI, February 18.—The Ohio River : has reached the stage of fifty feet and has . risen in the six hours since6é o’clock this morning at the average rate of an inch and ahalfanhour.

DENVER, Colo., February 18.—A gale of sixty miles per hour visited this section yesterday’. Many buildings in Denver were damaged. Plate giass windows were broken and tele- graph poles thrown down. On the D. & kK. G. Railway near Colo- rado Springs an express train was blown from the track and the mall car with contents destroyed by fire. A passenger train of three coaches on the Denyer South Park Railway was hurled down an embankmént about twelve miles from this city. One passenger had a leg broken and several others were injured. Near Como the incoming Leadville express was blown from abridge. Nearly all the passen- gers and trainmen were injured and the coaches badly wrecked. Bad Snow- Drifts. ST. PAUL, Minn., February 18.—Oneof the worst storms of this wintér raged last night, and is fiot over yet. It was preceded by a fall of rain and sleet, which ran along the tracks of the street cars, and which later on froze, makine it difficult to clear them 480 that the cars could run. Early last night it began snoWing hard, and at 9:30 o’clock this morning shows the first signs of my een | up. Four to six inches have fallen and a brisk wind is causing bad drifts. Trains in all directions are all delayed, even the Short Line trains between this city and Minneapolis requiring two engines to ~ three cars through. The mercury is 18 dégrees above zero. A Strange Phenomenon. LINCOLN, Neb., February 18.—A strange phe- nomenon occurred in this section yesterday afternoon, the country being treated to a ver- itable shower of mud. The mud came down in small particles and gave everything the ap- péarance of having beén splashed by teams crossing streets. A strong windstorm pre- vailed 200 miles west of here yoscen dey and the theory is that the dust raised by this storm floated over this section and was finally pre- cipitated by becoming saturated. A light shower prevailed at the time. f Heavy Hail. BLoomigaTon, lll., February 18.—A storm remar le for this season raged here last night, Aasting three hours.

My dear sir,” the minister added, ‘‘isit not strange that philosophy advances so slowly when we think of man’s narrowness of under- standing.’’ A Pet Whale. From the Los Angeles Express. , AD immense whale is ‘‘knocking about” in the water at Santa Monica. It is quite tame, and the inhabitants take great pleasure in feeding it and watching its antics in the water. He is so friendly that he will follow a boat at a respectable dis- tance and eat the food thrown to him. He is especially fond of fruit. Of course there is no way to fill him up; but he knows when he has enough, and, when satisfied, takes a plunge and disappears. Whales are shy monsters, and when it comes to enjoying the com- ‘any of human beings, no such fact was ever freeorded before. Some years ago a whale was captured and placed in an aquariiugm in Paris, where he became an object of great interest. It grew to great size and was not siow in responding to the calls of its keeper. The constant stream of visitors naturally made it lose its shyness, and it often seemed to enjoy the presence’ of sight-seers. This whale was in 1883 sold to a show- man in London for. the hand- some sum of 325,000. Great trouble was experienced in loading it on the schooner Misty Way; but the trouble did not end there. While in a gale in the channel the vessel was badly wrecked, and the huge wooden tank. which stood on the upper deck, was smashed and the valuable in- mate escaped. The sailors, when they saw the whale floundering on the deck, were thunderstruck and made for the rig- ging. _It is just possible that this most preco- clous whale at Santa Monica is the same one that endured captivity at Paris and made its escape. He evidently belongs to the species known as thé sebbaldius sul- fureus, as the body is large and relatively slender, and is capable of great speed. Just how long this marine visitor will re- main in these soutbern waters is not known; he may disappear as mysteriously and unceremoniously as he appeared upon the scene. The SantaMonica people are enjoying him, and it isto be hoped no at- tempt will be made at a capture. The Boarder Who Was Out the Night Be- fore Has a Charming Colloquy. Philip H. Welch in Puck.

Life in North Carolina and Music by th Asheville Band, : Bill Nye in the New York Herald. Tothe correspondent who writes.the above letter let me say: Cometo North Carolina and you will neverregretit. It isa land flowing with milk, honey and tar. It is full of health, climate and smoking tobacco. It will do you good-+to come here and live till youactually get tired of it. Relative tothe chances fora poor man in this country, where I now remai that. being my principal business, I wi say ina cursory way that poverty is not regarded as a violation of the §stat- utes here in North Carolina. People have live here for years in the most abject pov- erty right under the nose of the Grand- Jury. So you need not stay away on that account. oreover, the poor people of the North Carolina mountains are a thousand fold more contented than the r people of the North. If a man must e poor all his life what can be of more use to him than contentment? That is the great difference between Northern and Southern poverty. What does a tar-heel mountaineer care about strikes? What does he care because other people are — underclothing? He don’t care a cent. | He hitches up his little two-year-old speckled heifer to a Democratic wagon, hauls 40 cents’ worth of w6od to town, and goes home contented. Verily, the South is where contentment is at. I feel safe in saying you would do we here. a You could work here all day through the winter and play lawn tennis in your slfirt-sleeves by moonlight, or chase the festive coon from precipice to precipice. So come any time, I will be at the depot when you arrive. Would it annov you if I were to bring the band down tothe depot with me? We have avery fair all-around band here, composed of self-made colored men who, play ina chaste and uncon- strained way that will not frighten you much if you are used to loud snorts of melancholy. The members of this band have now perfected themselves to such an extent that they play right alon just as fluently without their leader, an while he up-ends his horn to pour out the juice they take up the air and carry it along in such away that you could not ‘Miss the leader, and they embellish all their music and improvise so much that you could not tell what tune they were playing. Still, I will do just as you say about having the band down at the depot when you come. No Pleasure to be Found Where There is No Appreciation. From the Art Age. Last October a party of pale working girls were sent bya philanthropic lady for a villegiatura of two weeks upon a pleas- ant farm twenty-seven miles from the city. These girls were in the habit of | working ten hours a day, with only the short evenings for amusement and rest. Every work day they rise before day- light andare at thelr work inthe cold dawn, leaving the shop at night hours after the gas isablaze. They have no vacations through the year, save an annual two weeks; they never eat a warm dinner unless on Sundays, and they sit at their camel’s-hair brush-making all day “_ in high, long-legged chairs without backs. On the farm they did not arise until eight; they had a beautiful country about them, swings, hammocks, aripe orchard and plenty of light reading matter. Low-legged, broad- seated, high-backed rocking-chairs were at their service and three’ substantial meals a day were set before them. In every single particular, so far as the finite eye could see, their then situation com- pared to their usual one was as paradise: to purgatory, a Garden of Cashmere to pr Telegraph to the BT-DISPATCH.

It was at Nantes the present War Minister of France was born, and those who remember the mother speak of the striking resemblance which her dis- tinguished son bears to her as she then was. Without being actually poor, the Boulangers were certainly far from rich. There was in the family, to use an expres- sive French phrase, ‘‘more bread than butter,”’ and 80, when young Boulanger was sent to Saint Oyr, his parents could only give him ver little pocket money. Even when he left Saint Cyr earlier than usual, thanks to the need of officers to fill up the gaps caused by the Crimean war, he had no margin for ex- travagance, and he has since laughingly admitted that many a time when nvited out to dine or dance he was obliged to make his dejeuner off ‘‘un chausson de pommes’’ in order to pay for the kid gloves (fresh-butter color) which he wore at the evening festivities. He made his military debut in the °° Itali- an campaign of 1858-9, and was both wounded and decorated. So severely was he wounded, in fact, that he was made a professor at Saint Cyr, and, though severe as@ master, the Sunday evening recep- tions he and his wife gave at: their little house near the railway station are still pleasantly remembered by many of the cadets of those days. His young wife, who had, of course, gained her knowledge from his English mother, was quite an adept in brewing tea and ‘*grogs’’ seaboard.

In a conversation drifting toward the many wise provisions of nature, the Rev: Mr. Mackwell said: ‘‘The other day, in my intellectual excursions, 1 came across a wonderfully sensible paper treating of the use of snakes. The long black snake is especially useful. He goes into the dense swamps, worms himself among the reeds and flags and devours thousands of scorpions and lizards, which, without his timely interference would become too numerous. So, you see, everything, even the black snake is useful, being created for a purpose.’’ ‘That is all very well,” one of the rev- erend gentleman’s listeners replied. ‘‘We recognize the usefulness of the snake, be- cause he devours scorpions and lizards, but of what use, pray tell me, are the scorpions and lizards.”’ ‘‘They eat innumerable insects,’ the: minister triumphantly replied. ‘*All right, but of what use are the insects ?’’ , BE 5 a insects? ae er—they serve as or the lizards. | ‘Yes, but of what use are the lizards?” “Why, you must be pitad not to see that they serve as food for the snakes.’’ “Of course,1 see that, but that only Bill Nye’s Cow waited on by the Not the Maa.

Going back to the days of GRANT, when that great General held the Presidency, when ROBESON was so keenly alive to the value of contracts, when BELKNAP saw so many channels for spending money, when the national legislation was shaped by F men fresh from the field of battle or from the control of State war measures, when we had justescaped a quarrel with France and were involved in a risky contention with Great Britain—not a word was said then about fortifications, armaments, a modern navy, a colossal appropriation. On the contrary, we sold our ships for junk, melted our cannon for statues, pas- tured cattle in the abandoned forts, and | put money in our pockets from the sale of ordnance. Wonderful indeed was the blindness and the ignorance of statesmen and people. Still more wonderful perhaps is the fact. that the discovery of our defenceless con- dition was simultaneous with the dis- covery that our statesmen could not agree on a plan of disposing of our very large w * | surplus. Ce eT ane WEAK ARGUMENTS, The appeal of the pension and claim interests to the Grand Army of the Repub- lic for expressions of opinion on the vetoed pension bill has called out, as might be expected, a strange assortmentof opinions.

SAH outstanding eee tendered by Some are so peculiar that it requires a the militia in a toa call from the stretch of good nature to accept them as State authorities, hut it would be better | atest 66 Pekecinabio. to pay the bill. The great State of Mis- : One comrade, for instance, writes,‘‘Give sourl cannot afford not to pay its debts. *‘the surplus in the Treasury to the boys “who made even the existence of the Treas- “ury possible.” If this enthusiastic states- man would only carry his idea to its logi- cal issue, he would favor dividing up the real and personal property of the Nation among the boys who, in his language, made the existence of the Nation possible. But he probably does not mean that. Nearly as remarkable is the opinion of Maj. WEIGEL of this-city who says that ‘‘nearly every survivor of the three ‘years’ campaign carries the seeds of dis- ‘‘ease in some form in his system.’’ The bill is not to pension the survivors of three years of campaigning, and as for the seeds of disease they must be more ro- bust than the seeds of health if they can linger unnoticed in the system twenty- two years and then break out with such -force as to invalid the victim. The pension bill goes too far and no ar- guments can conceal its essential weak- hess and error. —_ = ——— > © — IN one precinct in Texas, where nearly three hundred Republican voters were registered, it was difficult to find one who could read and write. Some current statements about the comparative illit- eracy of the two parties will have to be corrected. ar Ll _ I a SoME of the alarmists in the East who are trying to stampede Congress into voting money for unneeded defenses are overdoing the business. The sober judg- ment of the people is not convinced of the magnitude of the danger to the country by the magnitude of the typein which headlines are displayed. ce / - A LEGISLATOR in Texas has introduced a bill to allow heirs to inherit libel suits brought by their parents. The privilege of inheriting a lawsuit bas not usually been regarded as a very valuable one and it would be rather difficult for an excoutor to appraise an interest in an inherited libel suit, these suits being generally con- sidered rather as liabilities than as assets. a _ — - ——, — ‘Tue Lord Chamberlain of Great Britain has been shocked by the appearance on @ British stage of an American actress in scant attire.

Ld — | —— THE House has but a few more days in which to put itself on record with reference to the Beck bil. The Hoar bill passed by the Senate as a substitute for the Beck bill is nothing but a sort of license to Pan-Electric statesmen to accept attor- neyships and gifts of stock ad libitum, and to be excused on the ground that they could not anticipate the conflicts of inter- est and duty which would grow out of their complicated relations as public sery- ants, as speculators and as well-paid at- torneys for schemes dependent on ‘‘in- flooence” for success. No man would ever be convicted or censured under such a law. The mild penalty it imposes would be as innocuous as that which -our State law imposes on bankers who accept de- posits ‘‘knowing the bank to be in a fail- ing condition.’”? The House has not yet acted on this matter, and should not lose the opportunity it has of rebuking oneof the most unpopular acts of the Senate by adopting this Senate bill with Brcx’s original provisions reinsgated. a - —~ _ __ o—~, —— THE strongest opposition to a militia in Missouri or anywhere is that which is openly avowed by the Socialists and An- archists. These people object to the mili- tia, as they object to every embodiment of the power of government, and if they had any opportunity to impair the efi- ciency of the police, or the authority of deputy sheriffs or constables, or the security of jails or station-houses, they would be quite as firm as in the stand they have taken against an appropriation fora militia. Their opposition should be a strong argument in favor of a liberal ap- propriation. - ,- > oa ReTUBNs of the British co-operative so- es show that after allowing 5 per cent their loan capital they cleared 29.9 per ton their share capital in 1885, 29.6 per tin 1884 and 28 per cent in 188. The talcapital employed by them was $53,- 000 in 1885, $49, 610,000 in 1884 and $45,196, - in 1883. Their profits on sales amounted $14, 396,000 in 1885, $13,266,000 -in 1884 and 11,698,000 in 1883.

ONE bill has passed the House at Jeffer- son City to repeal the State oleomargarine law, and leave the bogus butter business free from all restraints except such as are imposed by the Federal law. Another bill has passed the Senate which is adyo- cated as a modification of the present State law and as an attempt to harmonize it with the Federallaw. The Butter and Cheese Dealers’ Association protests against both of these bills and asks the Legislature to maintdin the State lawas itstands: It seems tous that the public interest calls for just such a modification of the State ‘law as will best enforce the provisions of the Federal law and secure the benefits thereof to our people. A total repeal of the State” law would not -do. that, and the total prohibition of the manu- facture or sale of oleomargarine could have no other object than to deprive us of any benefit from a well-regulated traffic in wholesome and cheap substitutes for but- ter. If such substitutes can be made and sold without imposition, without fraud or harm tothe public, it is wrongful and harmful to the public interest to prohibit or obstruct such a trade. CO ‘*Crank’’ Legally Defined. From the Chicago Tribune. Judge Blodgett’s preliminary decision in the libel suit of one A. H. Walker against the Tribune is highly valuable as showing the legal responsibilities that attach to the use of theterm ‘‘crank’’in public discussion. Judge Blodgett cited the following definition from Ogilvie’s ‘‘Imperial Dictionary,’’ published in England in 1883, and reprinted in this coun- try in 1835: Crank—Some strange action caused by a twist of judgment; a caprice; a whim; a crotchet; a vagary. ‘*Violent of temper; subject to sudden cranks.’’—[Carlyle. The same definition is adopted in that valu- able American work, Fallows’ ‘‘Progressive Dictionary,’’ edition of 15885. _ According to these authorities ‘‘crank’’ is a most service- able word, and it is high time it should re- ceive some measure of judicial recognition and approval. Respectable lexicographers like Ogilvie and Fallows deny that ‘‘crank’’ jis aslang term, and now that Judge Blodgett has declared it not inherently libélous the word may well receive a candid, friendly greeting from even the most fastidious. Clear- ly it supplies a placein the language not oth- erwise filled. Oftentimes it is not desirable to say that a person is whimsical, erratic, preju- diced or unreasonable, since these terms are rather vague, but the word ‘‘crank’’ is more specific, and describes aptly an individ- ual who is suffering frqm a twist or perver- sion of sound judgment in respect to a par- ticular matter. As Judge Blodgett says, the term is not libelous and does not import moral turpitude, and, according to the au- thorities cited, it does not imply general mental inferiority,but rather a whim or preju- dicen respect to some specified subject. A Feigned Fear. From the New York WORLD. It is a false pretense to say there is im- minent need of extraordinary defensive prep- arations. During twenty years of power the Repub- lican party permitted the navy to go to decay and our forts and guns to become antiquated, while its favored politicians and contractors _grew rich upon the spoils of peace, as they had previously done upon the spoils of war. And now, when the alternative of reduci ig the taxes confronts them, the simulate a Spasm of fear at foreign invasion and hasten to scatter the surplus for forts and guns. repeat itself in this matter. For twenty years England and the European nations have been lavishing money upon devices for offensive and dtfensive war, only to find them rendered obsolete by succeeding inventions. Stone forts and earthworks are alike antiquated. Armored ships already are or soon will be. It is perfectly certain that most of the money expended on forts and guns and war vessels during the next six years will be wasted. But the tax-bounties will be retained and con- tractors will get rich. And this is what the vote in the Senate means. Ben Butler’s Double, From the New York Sun. The sociable millionaires who meet at noon every day in their club room at the Senate end of the Capitol had with them to-day the first they have met of the new crop of Senators. Several of them thought at first it was Gen. Butier, and the doorkeeper began.to wonder how they had let the old gentleman slip in, seeing he is not entitled to the floor of the Sen- ate since he enjoyed the ex-officio right as Governor of Massachusetts. The man who was mistaken ‘for Gen. Butler was Gov. Davis, the new Senator-elect from Minnesota, a much younger man than the old warrior, but almost his exact counterpart in appearance. Gov. Davis has been in New York for a week con- sulting oculists in regard to his left eye, which was severely strained during last fall’s campaign, and has temporarily if not forever lost its sight. He was assured that the sight of the remaining eye would not suffer by sym- pathy, and thatthe color and appearance of the paralyzed eye would not change. What Breaks Down the Senate. From Harper's Weekly. Senator Teller said that there was a disposi- tion in the country ‘‘to break down the Sen- ate.’’ But nothing but the Senate itself can discredit the Senate. The disposition which the Senator supposes he observes in the coun- try is probably only the general public obser. vation of such facts as the tendency of very rich men rather than trained public men to become Senators, the indisposition of the Senate to investigate such an election as that of Senator Payne, and the strong unwilling- ness of a body largely composed of lawyers to restrict professional discretion, as in the case duced, in which he had some years ago There is reason to think that history will not { York.

Palmer and Augustin Daly calied on him at his the- ater and told him that there existed a genéral desire, notonlyin the theatrical profession, but among prominent citizens, to testify in some public way their esteem for him and their appreciation of what he had done in New York during his long and honor- uble career for the cause of dramatic art. They said that it was proposed to have the expression of this feeling take the form of a peculiarly unique teatimonial per. formance. The production of ‘‘tamlet’’ had been considered, and if this play was decided on, Messrs. Palmer and Daly were authorized to say that Mr. Booth would, no matter at what sacrifice of existing engagements, come on to New York and play Hamlet. Mr. Barrett sent a cordial message, with an offer to play Laertes on the same occasion. Joseph jetter, son would playthe first grave-digger and Mrs. Lanetry would study Ophelia and appear in that character for the first time. The remaining members of the cast would be players who held the highest piaces in the profession. Mr. Wallack saidthat he was profoundly touched, but that he could not possibly accept the offer. Hesaidthat be had done what he could in his day t@ present honest dramatic work and to cater to cultivated tastes, and he was giad to have this expression of approval from people whose approval he valued; but pointed out that while there was so moch un- relieved poverty in the city and s0 many charitable organizations which found difficulty im securing the funds necessary. for the prosecution of their work, he could not consent to the benefit by the proposed performance.

They were married in i884.

One day he happened to be at lunch in his favorite restaurant, when an acquaint- ance named Darling came in and satdown beside him. After a little casual conver- sation Darling asked him tolet him know of any vacant clerkship he might hear of. ‘‘T will, certainly, old fellow,’’ returned Tommy; ‘‘but I hope you haven’t got in- to a row with Appleton.” (Frederick Appleton was Darling’s brother-in-law, and he was also the Secretary of the Mud- ford and County Chemical Company, in whose counting-house young Darling had a subordinate post.) 3 “QO, no, nothing of the kind,’’ returned Darling; and then he changed the subject. On his way back to the bank after lunch Mathers asked © himself why Darl- ing should leave his present situation. He had a capital prospect there—his brother-in-law being the Secretary—and there was no disagreement between him and his influential relative. Could it be that Darling had had a hint from his brother-in-law that the Chemical Company was getting into shallow water and that it behooved him to be looking out for another situation? It seemed more than likely; and young Matiers deter- mined to act at once. He slipped into the bank parlor that afternoon, hoping to find the junior partner, Mr. Parr, a good- natured sort of man, who was not likely to snub him for volunteering information. To his disappointment he found only Mr. Hodgson, a sour-tempered old man, who was struggling into his overcoat prepara- tory to leaving the office for the day. ‘*Well,” growled the panker, ‘‘what do you want?’’ Tommy was on the point of saying that he had come to speak to Mr. Parr, but in a moment he changed his mind. ‘‘T heard something to-day, sir,’’ he re- plied, ‘*that made me think that the Mudford Company are notin avery good way.” “Well, what of it? what’s that to me?” **Nothing, sir; only I thought there was no harm in letting you know.” ‘*Anything of that kind you can say to Mr. Parkinson,” answered the old gentle- man as he seized his umbrella and wad- dled down the passage. ‘Tommy felt snubbed; but he did not mind that much. He had done what he wanted—brought himself under the per- sonal notice of one of the partners.If he had given the hint to Parkinson, the head cashier, Parkinson, not he, would have had all the credit of it. He retired to his place among the other clerks a little sore on the rebuff, yet not entirely dissatisfied. On the way home Mr. Hodgson remem- bered that the bank held some shares of the Mudford Chemical Company as se- curity for the balance of the account of one of their customers’ who was deemed rather shaky. Next morniug, accord- ingly, he called Tommy into his room and and questioned him as to the nature of his information. ‘-Perhaps you will excuse my entering into that, sir,’”? said Tommy, with the ut- most coolness, we Mr. Hodgson dismissed Mathers to his work with a dissatisfied grunt and a wave of his hand, and immediately set to work to have the shares of the Mudford Com- pany exchanged for other securities. Tommy, who managed to know most of what happened at the bank, noted the fact and rejoiced. : Within six weeks the shareholders of the Mudford Chemical Company met and re- solved to go into liquidation; and, though Mr. Hodgson did not think it worth while to thank the junior clerk for the informa- tion he had given, Tommy was perfectly satisfied. He knew that people do not forget things which save their pockets. It happened that, some months after the incident of the Mudford Chemical Com- pany, Messrs. Hodgson had important business to trhnsactin Turin, and it was thought advisable that the senior partner should proceed to that city to look after it. There was some idea, if the prospect seemed farvorable, of starting a branch house there. The question then arose which of the clerks should accompany the head of the firm as his secretary; and Mr. Hodgson, mindful of the service which Mathers had rendered him, con- sulted the head cashier on the propriety of the selection. Parkinson, it happened, had a favorite of his own, and Somme would have lost his opportunity if he had not remembered that at one time, when he was bent on acquiring foreign tongues, he had spent his evenings for a few months over an Italian grammar. He contrived to let this fact be known, and in due time Mr. Parr informed his senior partner that ‘‘it séemed that young Math- ers knew something of the language.’’ This decided the point. ommy re- ceived his orders, and in three days more found himself on board the Dover and Calais packet in charge of a large dis- patch-box and Mr. Hodgson’s buiky port- manteaus. The journey was by no means a comfortable one, for the young man found that he was expected to travel second-class, and generally act as courier to his employer. When at last Turin was reached things were no better. Mathers found that his Italian went but a very little way; and, _ be- sides, he had to do the work of three clerks. Sometimes he was tempted to regret that he had left his comfortable rooms in Torrington Square, Bloombury, butin his calmer moments he reflected that at least he was occupying a different osition from that of the rest of his fel- ow-clerks. The chief man in Turin, so far as Hodg- son, Dunford & Parr were concerned, was a certain Count Marsoni. The Count’s nobility did not prevent his being the principal member of a large firm of merchants and ship-owners. To cultivate this man was, indeed, the chief reason of Mr. Hodgson’s jour- ney to Turin, and, as the old banker knew very well how to lay aside his crusty and pompous manner when it suited his book to do so, he soon came tobe a not infre- guent guest at the Villa Marsoni. Mr. Hodgson began to see that there was avery fair opening for an English bank at Turin, and he was still engaged in pushing bis way here and there, when he received news that his wife was seri- —_ ill. This made him hurry off to England, leaving Mathers behind him to complete a transaction which hehad al- ready practically arranged. De — at being left to represent the firm, for ever so short atime and ever so formal a matter, Mathers was pacing one day down the principal street of the city with a look of considerable importance on his face when he met Count Marsoni. The Count sopped and asked after the old en informed made far anyhow?) thought a boy was. banker, w Tomm him that he had returned ped to England, lerk in the banking firm of Hodgson, Dunford & Parr, St. Swithin’s Lane, Lom- bard street. It was neither a very re- sponsible nor a ve lucrative sition, and Tommy (as all his friends called him) longed, as perhaps 50,000 young men ina similar situation in London are longing this moment, for a chance of turning his brains to better account than adding up columns of figures and copying entries from one big book into another. The chance did not come, but Tommy did not despair; and there was this difference be- tween him and the great majority of his fellow prisoners ofthe desk—he had the pluck to work away manfully at what- ever he thought might possibly some day help him to better his position, even though he could not see exactly how it was to be done. With this end in view he got up French, German and Italian; and he _ did everything he could to pick up informa- tion as to the financial circumstances of the customersof the bank. Hescraped acquaintance with every clerk employed by those who had accountsat the bank, as time an idea, more or Jess accurate, as to spect to the respect to was drawn wu house of Engli **f shall be happy to serve you. ¢ said Tommy in his very best talian.

Thomas Goabout, the negro chicken thief, was tried before Judge Noonan this morning, onacharge of stealing a watch dog valued at $25, from F. Bauer of the Rock Springs Tan- nery. It was shown at the trial that on the date of the commission of the offense, Feb- rnary 5, there was a crowd gathered in Louis Freimuth’s saloon in Rock Springs and Mr. , teh dog, of “which he was very ae Ney ee Ben | which he did a siderable boasting, became the ‘ ope of conversation.

The chicken- thief started out on his mission and was soon back in the saloon with the huge canine.

By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATcH. KeYrortT, N. J., February 18.—John # Schenck, the. old Moumouth County hermit, ig slowly dying at the home of his old brother, to which he was taken about nine months ago. The hermit is nearly 50 years of age, and for nearly fifty years lived in seclusion, allow- ing no one to cross his threshold. Just before his removal to his brother’s home he had been suffering from a stroke of paralysis, and had it not Sean den the timely visit of his brother he would certainly have died at thé time for want of nourishment andcare. The negar neighbors had noticed that he had not been out for several days. and suspecting that he was sick sent for his brother, who found Bim yerv low. After bis removal an investigation of bie hut was made, Ina little shanty which was builtin a thicket was found an iron box containing ——— worth $10,000. In other cor- ers of the building was! found a ‘arge quan- trey of gold and silver coin. Under one of the beds was found an old woolen stocking filled with money. In all, nearly $50,000 in money and valuable papers were found around the hut ascoutbuildings. Theold hut is hardly twostori®s high, with an old style roof slanting nearly to the ground. There are four rooms, the largest being 8x15, The stair- case is made from an enormous oak log, with deep notches cutin it. Much of the furnjture was made from oak trees cut on the farm. ee WEDDING GIFTS, Beautiful new designs in SOLID SILVER WARES, VASES, SILVER-PLATED WALES, BRONZES, CLOCKS, ‘ BRASS GOODS, PLAQUES, AFTER-DINNER COFFEES, FINE DESSERT PLATES, LAMPS, MUSIC BOXES, DIAMONDS, WATCHES.

Decision in a Married Woman’s Suit— Verdicts Under the Dome To-Day. Judge Lubke rendered a decision to-day in the suitof Mary E. Ring vs. John F. Gilbirds. The demurrer to the petition is sustained. The plaintiff stated that she was a married woman but sued without joining her husband, and although she alleged that she sued as a feme sole under the statute and that she was the owner of the horse claimed, still the Court must hoM the petition insufficient on demurrer without further allegations showing that the property is of her separate estate so as to create an exceptiontothe gen- eral ruie thata married woman.can sue only by bein ange withher husband as a co- aintiff when she is suing athird party. Mrs. ng sued for the recovery of a stallion known as Giibirds’ Sprague, sired by Governor Sprague, dam Bohemian Girl, valued at $15, 000. Slander and Libel. Judge Lubke to-day rendered a decision in the suit of Thos. P, Heffernan vs. the People’s Railway Comipany and Tower Grove & Lafay- ette Railway Company. The demurrers to amended petition are both sustained. In this case the pluintiff attempted to unite in one count an action for libel and slander, This is forbidden by the statute which requires that each cause of action shall be set forth separately. There is such a marked difference between tie ruies of law applicable to written slander ealied libel and slanderous words spoken that it is very essential toa correct trial that they should be intelligibly distinguished in the cause before the court at its outset. The plaintiff claimed that the superintendent em. ployed by the defendants had falsely accused him us a driver of defrauding passengers in change. ed \ Ladd vs. Von Phul. A suit for $15,000 damages was filed in the Circuit Court this afternoon bythe Ladd To- bacco Company against Ben Von Pbhul and John Van Kamen. Wm. M. Ladd and Ben Von Phul were at one time in partnership, and Mr. Ladd alleged that Mr. Von Phul released him from liability on judgment rendered omg them in the Circuit Court. Mr. Ladd alleges, however, that an ~— was made through Mr. Van Kamen to collect on the udgment, notwithstanding the release, and njunction proceedings were instituted against the Ladd Tobacco Company, which affected its credit, and had the effect of greatly injur- ing its business. The proceedings were sub- sequently dismissed, but the injury was done, and judgment is asked for the sum named. a ee An Assignment.

Jem Carney Throws Out a Few Remarks— McAuliffe and Gilmore—What ‘Sully’ Will Do When His Arm Is‘Well—Sporting and Base Ball News. Py Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPATCH. NEw York, February 18.—John B. Day, the principal owner ofthe New York Base Ball Club sent the following telegram to N. E. Young, president of the League at Washing- ton: Would suggest you call committee at Pittsburg on request St. Louis, Kansas City, and Indianap- olis to send representatives, hus we may be able to locate the eighth club. Let the distri- bution of players be acted upon at the regular schedule meeting. J. B..DAY. The meeting will take place at the, Monon- gahela House, Pittsburg, on Monday morn- ing. The three cities, St. Louis, Kansas City and Indianapolis will send delegates and the committee of three, Day, Spalding and Young, will settlethe eighth club. Mr. Day also thought that it would be advisable to hold over the disposition of certain players untilthe regular meeting which will be held in this city March 7. ‘‘Which of the three clubs do you favor,’’ Mr. Day was asked. ‘‘Indianapolis by all means,’’ he replied. ‘*My desire is that Indianapolis shall get the franchise, Kansas City is too farout of the way. Why,do you knoW without a League Club in St. Louis, it would take us two days to get to Kansas City from the other Western cities? My club, forinstance, would lose six davsinreaching Kansas City, and the other clubs, with New York included, would lose forty-two days during the season.’’ |. Mr. Day thought it would be advisable not toact upon the cases of Denny, Glasscock and others atonce. He feels sure that he will secure Denny to cover third base forthe New Yorks, but he is not over-confident about getting McCormick, the Chicago pitcher. ———$ ss ——_—_—__—— CARNEY CHATS. meeting of special Monday next and The Belt and £1,200the Highest Stakes He’s Fought For. Jem Carney, the English light-weight champion, has been interviewed. In one of his tatks he was asked semethbing about train- ing for his fight with Jack McAuliife, and he replied: ‘‘\ fellow by the name of Patsy Sheppard will take me in a week or 80 to Boston to train, and IJ’ll be all ready when the fight comes oti. It’s to take place in the middle of May, I hear, but where it’s going to be aren’t decided yet. Yes, the stakes is big— £1,200 and a belt. I never fought for so much before. ‘*Big stakes is a good thing,’’ he continued. ‘They hencourage achap to fight, and that’s what I’m goin’ todo. I didn’t come over ’ere to get my hinsides turned hinside out for nothink, my boy, and I’lil get that belt ifilcan. There won’t be no ’ippodrome aboutit. ‘Ip- podromes ain’t fought with tight gloves to a finish. Oh, it’ll be a sure enough fight. I’aven’t never been Knocked out yet, an’ I’ve ’ad seven fights. My first one was in Birming- hum ten years ago with & man named Gibbons aounds weigh 150 pounds now. I batn’t in a condition no how now, for I’ve got a big cold, and hain’t steady on my legs yet.’’ ‘*The English think Smith a pretty good man, do they not?’’ asked the scribe. ‘*Yes, Jem’s a good ’un; but these people thinks Sullivan is a good un, too, and they have heard so muchof him. Jem ‘ll be over here pretty soon, andthen we can see which is the best man. I don’t know anything about it now, as l never saw Sullivan. There’s goin’ to be a pretty mice match between Smith and Charlie Mitchell, over there, before Smith leaves; but, of course, Chariie will get the worst of it. -- M’AULIFFE AND GILMORE, Their ‘‘Scientific’’ Set-to at Jack’s Benefit in Brooklyn. Gilmore and McAuliffe came together again at the latter’s benefitin Brooklyn. This set- to was the ‘‘wind-uf’’ of the affair. McAuliffe wore his well known blue tights and white vest, with rubber-soled shoes, while Gilmore had on pink tights, black fighting boots and wore biue colors about his waist. The first round showed no hard work, butthe audience were in just the humor to appreciate the beauties of scientific boxing. McAuliffe did not wishto increase his laurels by worsting with the gloves the man he had beatenin the ring and only tapped his opponent. Once he struck Gilmore in the mouth and drew blood, but bis face showed at once the biow wus unintentional. Gilmore, who is one of the cleverest men in the country, sparred his best. His upper cutting and countering were particularly good. Mce- Auliffe overreached himself once in the third round, and slipped down on-his knees, but he was up again and tapped Gilmore in the stom- ach almost before the latter knew he had failen. Hedidthis again early in the fourth round, but blamed one of his.shoes for trip- ping him. The wind-up of this round wasa clever exchange of skillful blows. The big audience could scarcely repress its enthusi- asm as the pugilists shook bands at the finish. Just before this set-to McAuliffe was pre- sented with the belt embiematical of the light- weight championship of America, Which he won when he defeated Gilmore in their recént battle in New Hampshire. ——$— i THE CHAMPION PUGILIST. Do When His Arm covers. What He Will - ee 7 Re By Telegraph to the POST-DISpPatcn. NEW YORK, February 18.—John L. Sullivan walked over to Dr. Sayre’s shortly after noon yesterday and tendered his broken arm for examination. He was in excellent condition and the doctor found the fractured limb had progressed so favorably that he broke off the plaster cast and enveloped it in bandages. The champion was yastly pleased with his physician’s report, and walked up to Ben- nett's place, on Fifty-ninth street, with the elastic step of a boy. **See here,’’ he cried, ‘‘I can work my fist nowandmyarm will be well in a month. We starton the road April 10,and the next man who meets me will find I have not lost anything by afew weeks unavoidable rest. | hope to meet Cardiff next. As for Smith |] have heard nothing from him nor Mr. Mitchell nor any of their backers. I'll fight either of them. I want to fight them both and I will fight them within two weeks of each other for anything. I shall like to have a goat Mitchell. Well, boys, I’m off to Boston again,’’ he said in a few minutes. When asked how itwas hedid notstay longer he said: ‘‘Well, you see, my mother is very poorly just at present, and she likes to have Iné around asmuch as shecan. I shall be back next week to see Dr. Sayre again. Sheedy will be over on Saturday. It was my intention toremain in New York and meet him, but I'll have to be away a few days. I will be in New York next week and then all the arrangements will be made to complete our boxing tour which had to be abandoned when I hurt my arm. We , Shall work from New York out West and when Smith and Mitchell arrive I'll be in New York ready to meetthem. After I have faced Smith I shall go to Australia and then to England. We will possibly go to France and Germany and then I'll settle down to business in the United States. Good bye.’’ _—_— re A BRUTAL PRIZE FIGQHT, James Dohogany Knocked Ont by George Ducharme at Chicago. CHICAGO, Ill., February 18.—One of the most desperate prize fights that has taken place in this city for many years came off ata point just outside the limits last night, the principals being George Ducharme, better known as Tom Chandler’s Unknown, and James Do- hogany, who fought a draw with Frank Glover on three different occasions. From the com. mencement to the fifth round Duchafme had the battle his own way but in the commencement of the sixth Dohogany got in a terrific right hand swinging blow which made Ducharme look for & Inin- § was coming for ute as though he had reached the e } the seventh round Ducharme had cobibiat ean all hO was worth, closing for £100 aside, and ’e’ad enough in fifteen | minutes. I fight at 128 though I Dohogany’s left eye and splitting his upper and under lips so that they gaped open and 80 completely punished bis face thatit was almost unrecognizable. From this on to the four- teenth round it was nobody’s battle, honors being about even, when Dohognay com- menced to grow very weak from the amount of severe punishment he had received. By this time the party present had seen all that they had -bargained for, and at the close of the battle of the filty that were present at the opening about ten remained. The fight was 50 flerce and the blows that were ex- changed were so severe that many of the spectators weakened and were obliged to leave the room, From the fourteenth to the twentieth round Ducharme again had it his own way. Dohogany became so weak that Ducharme fought him all over the room at every turn, and finally knocked him out. At the close both men presented a sorry ap- pearance. They were covered witb blood from head to foot, their jaws and eyes were swollen and black and their features gen- erally distorted. The fight, which was Ducharme’s maiden effort, was for the gate receipts, which amounted to about $500. The affair had been kept very quiet, and the police were unaware that any such event was going on. —————_—_—_—_ THE OCEAN RACE, The Dauntless and Coronet {In Preparation for the Trip. By Telegraph to the PQST-DISPATCH. ; NEW YORK, February 18.—The liveliest place in yachting circles just now is the little screw dock at the foot of Market street, where the schooner Dauntless is fitting for her race across the ocean with the Coronet. She is surrounded every day by crowds of people who intentiy study her rigging and hull. Any one who wants to see how this ofd schooner looks eut of water should visit her.

NEW YORK, February 18.—Robert Bonner, the owner of Maud §S., has been offered $100,000 for her. The offer was made through Joseph Harker, who negotiated for the mare with Wm. H. Vanderbilt when she was purchased. The person who wished to buy the ‘‘Queen of the Turf’’ is a man of great wealth, abie to pay the price, but under no consideration will Mr. Bonner part with her. Ever since he be- gan driving on the road, many years ago, it has beenshis desire to own the fastest horse in the country, and he never spared money to satisfy this ambition. When Dex- ter beat Flora Temple’s record of 2:19%4 by trotting in 2:17&% he purchased him. Then when Rarus beld the fastest record, 2:13%, he became his owner. The price he paid for Maud 8S. was $40,000, but it is a well-known fact that Mr. Vanderbilt could have sold her foramuch largersum. He did not wisn to have ber raced for money, so he sold her to Mr. Bonner. on Fevoruary John Murphy will begin jogging Maud §°&§., ov and she will be-put in econdition to trot a fast trial, but will not be keyed up toconcert pitch unless some trotter ap- proaches her-present record, 2:084%. She was handied in the same way last vear, being kept | ready tor emergencies, but was not driven up | to her full speed, because it was not necessary todo so to Maintain her supremacy. Sheis now 15 vears old. One of the attractions of Mr. bonner’s city stable is Dexter. He is now 20 years: id, and looks as sleek and limber as acolt.

Sabbath Laws in This State From 1814 to the Present Time—Peculiarities of Early Statutes—Increase of Penalties. Missourians have never had the real Puritan- brand, indigo-dyed laws that limited the enjoy- ment of the Sabbath in Connecticut, when re- ligion and politics were mixed oftener than they are in these degenerate days. It has never been acrime inthis State to kiss one’s own wife onSunday. Nosumptuary legisla- tor has ever dared to make smiles—the word as Webster defines it—illegal on the Lord’s day in this State. But there have been strings tied to the citizens of this commonwealth, metes and bounds have been setto their 5un- day hilarity throughout its history. Every meeting of the Legislature has brought out of their caves the Sabbatarian and anti-Sabbata- rian, who have asked the passage or defeat of legislation pertaining to the observance of the first day of the week ‘‘commonly called Sunday.’’ Just now at Jefferson City there is an attempt being made to repeal the law of 1837. That law was passed for the especial benefit of the owners of beer gardens in St. Louis, permitting them, although all toil was to be suspended inthe city and all beer gardens and saloons in the State were to be closed, to keep open and do business. This law has been attacked in every Legislature since its passage, and the war on it iowis very bitter. What all this agitation will come to remains to be seen. The first Lord’s Day act in Christendom was an edict of Constantine A. D. 321. He prohib- ited all work in towns, but agricultural labor- ers were allowed to use their own sweet pleas- ure in deciding whether or not they would work or play. There was no limitation of the indulgence in pleasures which were then pop- ular. In England there sprung up at one time under the ruvie of the Roman Catho- lic Church u too-strict observance of the Sabbath for some persons in power who secured it to be taught in the churches that abstinence from workon Sun- day during harvest grievously offended God. In the fourth Edward’stime it was enacted that in case of need all persons were free to follow their calling, work or ride on Sunday. Only unnecessary labor was prohibited. During Llizabeth’s reign PLAYS WERE PERFORMED on Sunday, but in 1580, in deference to the growing spirit of Puritanism which was then manifest, she decreed that play-houses were to be closed on the sabbath. This did not pro- hibit all pleasuring, forin 15838 altarge scatfold fallin Paris Garden, London, on Sunday, and many persons were killed. This accident was bruited abroad as the judgment of God on evil-doers, and led to the strengthening of the Sabbath avitation.

The week has been unusually dull in real estate circles. There has been a fairly good inquiry for rented houses and the loan market has been active, but there have been no Sales worthy of mention. There is a proposition now under considera- tion forthe improvement of the seven lots on the southeast corner of Laclede and Grand avenues which is expected to come toa heud within afew days. The property was pur- chased in October last from the Wesleyan Cemetery Association by Alex. H. Handlan, the day. In 1618 hing James had Bishop Morton prepare ‘‘the King’s Book of Sports,’’. which was read from. the pulpits of tne English churches, it being the i Jr . - ; i centiv Mr. dian has ha der King’s wish that after divine service the peo- | C¢™ lv Mr. Handian has had under ple should be indulged in such recreations as | dancing, archety, leaping, May games, morrice dances, etc. There was a reaction etiects ot this book that strengthened the Pur- itans. The Book of Sports was. afterwards burned by the public hangman and the Puritan Sabbath was established under Crom.- well. There was laterareaction from this extreme, and a reversalto the unlimited in- duigencé in pleasure. During the present, the Victorian reign, the Sabbath question has had quite as much noticein England as it has in America, and the day has been generally, though notin an extreme sense, observed. Missouri’s first legislation on the subject was the Territorial act of January 8, 1814, pro- viding a penalty of $lif any one wus tound laboring on Sunday or compelling. any person under his control ‘‘to labor or perform services unless it be the ordinary household oftiorces of daily necessity or other work of necessity or charity.’* It expressly provided that ‘‘no person who was 4 member of any religious society, who ob- served as a Sabbath any other day of the week than Sunday or the Christian Sabbath, shoulk be liable to the penalty thereby incurred so that they observe one dayin sevén agreeable to the regulations aforesaid, saving to ferry- men the right of crossing passengers.’’ The territorial act was substantially re-en- acted in the revised laws of 1825. In 1835 the penalty was made for ‘‘laboring-’’ instead of ’? In the reyision of 1825 there was added a penalty for ‘‘any white person shooting, horse racing, cock fighting, hunting or of frequenting tippling houses or groceries on the first day of the week, called Sunday or Sabbath; this not to include ani- mals that destroy tame stock, growth or grain.’’ IN 1835 this section was changed soastoread: ‘‘Every person who shall be convicted of horse-racing, cock-fighting or playing at cards or games of any kind,’’ ete. Besides the changes above mentioned the provision of 1825 also added a penaity for ‘‘exposing to sale any wares, merchandise, goods or chattels, or Keeping open ale or porter-house or grocery, or retail- ing any ale or porter, or any strong or spiritu- ous liquors after i0 o’clock on Sunday morn- ing.’’ It was provided that this section should not extend to the sale of arti- cles of provision nor the sale of any article of immediate necessity. In the revision of 1835 the words ‘‘ale or porter or any strong or spirituous liquors’’ were changed to ‘‘and fermented or distilled liquors’’ and so continued; 10 o'clock was changed to Yo’clock, and the proviso was so enlarged as to include drugs or medicines, and has not been changed since. In 1845 the words ‘‘tippling house’’ were changed to ‘‘tippling shaep.’’ Also the words ‘9 real | a = ee er eee — from the | , of M. M.

In Inl5 the teri ‘‘the first day of the week’’ makes its adventand Sabbath or Sunday are dignified with capitals. In 1835 the name ‘‘Lord’s day’’ disappears, and Sabbath is used in but one place—that inreferring toa day of rest in preference to th@g‘first day of the week,’’ or ‘‘Sunday.’’ The change in the AMOUNT OF PENALTY for violation of these Sunday laws is, accord- ing to the compiler referred to, suggestive of either the popular displeasure of their non-ob- Sservance or of such a growing frequency of their violation that it was thought neces- sary to increase the penalty from $] to $% and to $60. The penalty for laboring on the Lord’s day was in 15]4, $1; in the revision of 1835, not exceeding %; in the revision of 1865, not ex- ceeding $50, and so Gentinues. For cock- fighting, horse-racing, gaming, ete. in the act of 1825, from $1 to $10: in the revision of 1835, not exceeding $00. For keeping open liquor houses, expos- ing for sale and selling liquors in revision of 1825, from $1 to $10; in revision of 1835, not ex- ceeding $50. So this popular displeasure or nonobservance must have increased in mul- tiples of five. In the revision of 1879 the pro- Visions and penaities were not altered from those of the revision of 1835. PENDING LEGISLATION. The Downing iaw now in existence has a provision closing all saloonsin the State on Sunday. An effort to enforce this provision in St. Louis was successfully resisted by plead- ing the act of 1857, which gave Yo this city under the guise of a general enactment, the right to keep the saloons open on that day. It was the design of the Downing law to repeal that act, but the courts decided that it did not do so. A bill is now pending in the Legislature, having passed the jouse and gone to the Senate, which repeals this act of 1857 and puts the Sunday provision of the Downing law in effective operation.

Mr. Gerardi bas made Mr. Handlan aproposition to lease a hotel fora certain number of years if Mr. Handlan will erect it there, Mr. Handlan’s idea is that the com- pletion of the Grand avenue bridge will be in- ducement to the western roads to establish an auxiliary passenger depot atthat point. ‘This will draw businessto a West End hotel. Mr. Hanvlan proposes, in addition to the hotel, to erect handsome flats, the occupants of which can take their meals at the hotel table, The ‘southern portion of this tract is now the remains of an old stone quarry which will have to be filled up at considera- ble expense before the land = wall be inj condition for building. The scheme fo the erection of ae hotel on Grand avenue on this very - property Was proposed several years ago and the ques- tion agitated for some time but without any satisfactory result. Mr. Handlan is impressed with the greatness of the idea and will, if pos- sible, arrange with some experienced hotel- keeper to build a hotel and rentitto him un- der contract for a number of years. The attention of local real estate dealers has been turned to the West and South recently, and a number of them have taken ‘‘fivers’’ in. real estate in Kansas City, Wichita and Birmingham. The excitement at Wichita has drawn more oute- side capital to that city than isrepresented in any of the other towns now under pressure of areal estate ‘‘boom.’’ One St. Louis real es-. tute broker, who went up to Wichita, reports 15k sales made during au single month. Property 380 feet deep has sold in some instances As high as $3,000 a front foot, an extraordinary and alto- gether unwarranted valuation. Mr. Knight of 3500 Lucas avenue, who was formerly in busi- ness here, but who retired some years since and has devoted his time to his real estate in- teresis, isreported to have put $180,000 into Wichita real estate, and is now offering some business property on Pine street fer sale with tne idea of invegting the money in Wichita property. 5 Real estate agents and property owners are working inthe interest of the proposed im- provement of the Forest Park boulevard. The boulevard is the first street south of Laclede avenue, extending from Grand avenue tothe park. It is proposed to lay out the centre of this street as an exten- sion of the park in a broad strip of turf bordered by shade trees, to be main- tained by the city. It is calculated that the improvement will double the value of prop- erty on thisetreet and that the increase in val- ue will mean an increase in tax receipts to the city annually of $15,000 to $16,000. The boulie- vard if completed will be the only shaded ap- proach tothe park and will, in combination with the Lindell avenue boulevard improve- ment, make a handsome dviving circuit. Sales of property this week have been ex- ceptionally light. The only recorded transfer of consequence was that of the Odd-Feliows’ Hall building to the State Savings Association, the completion of the sale mude last week. ‘‘Califernia Excursion, February 23.” ‘*A grand Pullman excursion will leave St. ‘*‘Louis Union Depot at 9:10 a. m.,on the **‘above date, via the Iron Mountain Route for ‘*‘Los Angeles,-San Francisco and all Pacific ‘*Coast points.
