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 broiler 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 turning isrequired. At the end of this time it wil be found nicely cooked ready to serve. THISIS THE IDEAL WAY TO BROIL MEATS. There is no taint of coal-gas or smoke, and the meats are more tender and better in flavor than those broiled over the coals. The convenience or eng in the oven will be appreciated by every house-keeper, and adds another to the many reasons why the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the Wire Gauze Oven Door should be preferred to all others now in the market. as eee (> MONEY. ™0 LOAN cy 3 Pounds of Coffee, $1.00 Watches, Pistols, prong Musical Instruments, r in sams a very low rate of interest.

SIR ARTHUR BALFOUR’S APPOINTMENT NOT SATISFACTORY TO THE TORIES. Salisbury’s Speech at the National Con- servutive Olub—The Unionist Revolt— Russia Demands the Release of Bulga- rian Insurgente—Germany’s Hint to the Muscovite—Trouble Between Moon- lighters and the Police in Ireland—The Septennate Bill—Foreign News. Epecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, March 7.—The appointment of Bal- four as Hicks-Beach’s successor causes great dissatisfaction among the Tories. They say he is far too mild a man for the post, and that the Parnellites will laugh at him. Salisbury, however, had no alternative. There is no other man at his command who has the quali- | fications for the most difficult position in the | world. None of the grumblers have yet made any suggestion of a,better man. The disap- Cte eeeeeeeeeecesscccossss ane yard ‘pearance of Hicks-Beach advances home-rule avery considerable stage. The Irish Secreta- ‘ries are, being rapidly used up, and Ireland grows more and more ungovernable. There is a tremendous clamor in the Times again for strosg measures. All the iniquities with which Parnell has ever been associated in the minds of his opponents, are revived in a series of articles entitled, ‘*‘PARNELLISM AND CRIME.”’ The obvious intention ofallthis is to screw up the failing courage ofthe Ministry. How far that courage failed can be seen by Salis- bury’s speech on Saturday at the National Conservative Club, fm which he used language which certainly was not that of confidence, and described the Ifish question asa night- mare which fetters one’s limbs and paralyzes one’senergy. A more exact description of the whole Irish policy of the Government could not have been given by Salisbury’s most determined enemy. The Times has at last realized that ¢ THE UNIONIST REVOLT has become serious, and hails Trevelyan to-day as the traitor. With regard to the round-table compromise, it is important to remember that everything depends on the personal yelations of the negotiators. The relations between Morley and Chamberlain are still bad. Everybody concerned is afraid thatas soonasthe terms of the agreement become known, so furious an attack will be made by the extremists on both sides thatthe round-table conference will go to pieces alto- gether. The War Spectre. GERMANY WARNS RUSSIA. 3ERLIN, March 7.—The Kolnisc Zeitung warns Russia that even German patience toward neighbors has limits, and says: ‘‘If Russia compels Germany to take accountof a Franco-Russian agr ent, let her beware lest she may herself have to consider a hostile Germany. POPULARITY OF FRANCE. The Kreuz Zeitung says: ‘‘Letters from St. Petersburg state that the general hatred of Germany and the popularity of France is be- coming a sort of violent epidemic in Russia.’’ Germany. A FRESH LOAN. BERLIN, March 7.—The deficit that will be caused in the budget by the operation of the Septennate law will be covered by a fresn loan. All projects for fresh taxation have been postponed andthe session of the Reitchs- tag will probably terminate in two months. THE PRESIDENT AND THE EMPEROR. Emperor William yesterday received Herr Wedell Piesdoriff, the President of the Reichstag. In the conversation which took place the Emperor said that he was reluctantly compelled to dissolve the late Reichstag. Despite his explanation to the Reichstag of the superiority of Ger- many’s neighbors over her in military matters, the opposition majority refused to sanction the military bill to the necessary extent, and the reasonable hope that the Sep- tennate term would have been adopted, after the example given by France, proved falla- cious. It was more gratifying now to cherish the hope that a large majority in the new Reichstag would accept the bill at the outset. Referring to the attitude of the Pope during the elections, he said he had already been con- vinced of the pacific disposition of His Holi- ness, and that it was on this account that Germany had asked him to act as arbitor in the dispute in the Caroline Islands case. In conclusion, the Emperor expressed the hope that all the ecclesiastical troubles between Prussia and the Vatican wouid soon be peace- fully and completely settled. THE SEPTENNATE BILL. In the Reichstag to-day, the Septennate Dill formally passed its first reading. Prince Bismarck was present. The bill will be taken up for second reading to-morrow, and debate will ensue. Herr Windhorst, the leader of the Clerical party, will then declare his intentions in relation to the septennate term. The other party leaders have an- nounced that they will vote as they did when the bill was defeated in the late Reichstag. England, THE IMPERIAL INSTITUTE. LONDON, March 7.—The Queen will lay the foundation of the Imperial Institute some time during the summer. Ireland: MR. KNIPE’S REPORT. LONDON, March 7.—It is stated that Mr. Knipe, member of the Irish Land Commis- sion, has handed to the Government his own individnal report on the land question. MOONLIGHTERS AND POLICE. It is reported at Limerick that a gang of moonlighters have captured a police patrol. The report has caused & sensation. AN INCENDIARY CAPTURED. LIMERICK, March 7.—A cattle drover named Mullens has been arrested on thecharge of being the incendiary who fired a number of dwellings and barns in this county on Thurs- day night occupied by tenants who had paid their rents. THE NEW CHIEF SECRETARY. Mr. Balfour, the New Chief Secretary for Ireland, has arrived here. Bulgaria. RELEASE OF THE REBELS DEMANDED. SOFIA, March 7.—Baron Theilmann, the Ger- man Consul-General, on behalf of Russia, has demanded the release Of six rebels, two of whom have already been shot, M. Flesch, the French Consul-General, has complained that Karaveloff and Tsanof! were maltreated | bythe Gevernment. The Government denies . the charge on the admission of the rebels themselves. The Porte bas advised the Gov- ernment to deal leniently with the rebels. A PLUCKY CONSUL. The German Consul at Rustchuk, whose pro- tection was sought by Capt. Boltmann, one of the leaders in the recent revols, and who claims to be a Russian subject, has been requested by the Bulgarian authorities to surrender the refugee and haa refused on the ground that his Government has not instructed him to do so. : WATCHING RUSSIA. BERLIN, March 7.—Much anxiety is felt here as to whether or not Russia will allow the exe- cution of the Buigarian conspirators to puss unnoticed. **MANAGER’’ LONSDALE SUED. The Marguis of Lonsdale has been sued by Cornelia Danka for breach of contract in fall- ing to carry out his engagement with her as a member of the Violet Cameron Operatic troupe. * France.

OTTAWA, Ont., March 7.—Advices received by the Department of Agriculture indicate that the influx of emigrants from Europe to Can- ada will be greater this year than ever before. The rushis expected to begin early in April. Information bas been received here that the ninety-days’ quarantine enforced by tne State of Kansas against cattle imported from Canada has been raised. THE NATIONAL BASE BALL LEAGUE, Annual Meeting in New York City—The Ad- mission of the Eighth Club. NEW YORK, March 7.—The annual meeting of the National Base Ball League began to- day, at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. It is expected that the session will be along and important one. The main questions are the selection of a club to take the vacant. eighth place, and the adoption of the play- ing schedule. Indianapolis and Kansas City are applicants for the vacant position. The Hoosiers have at last secured ample financial backing, and are confident of suc- cess. The schedule is well arranged, with but few conflicting dates. It is yet unde- cided whether Glasscock Denny and other coveted players will be given to the new club or auctioned off tothe highest bidders. The delegates present are: Soden, Billings and Connaut of the Boston Club; Sterns of Detroit; Spalding of the Chicagos; Stromberg and Fine of the St. Louis and Kansas City Clubs; John B. Day and Charies Dilling- ham of New York; Hewitt and Gaffney of the Washingtons; Nimick and Phillips of Pittsburg; Reach and Wright of Philadelphia, 'and Burnham and others of the Indianapolis Club. The corridors of the hotel are thronged with base ball men who watch the star-cham- ber proceedings with great interest. RUMORED CONSOLIDATION, An Alleged Deal Between the Western Union and B. & O. Telegraph Companies. NEw YorK, March 7.—The Stock Exchange is full of stories abouta deal having been made between the Western Union and the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Companies, and the price of the former sold higher than at any time since the December break. Brokers usually representing President Garrett of the B. & O. were heavy buyers of the stock last week, and an order is said to have been given to-day to buy 25,000 shares for a prominent director of the Western Union. No confirmation can be obtained of the consolidation. PNEUMONIA’ AND THE GALLOWS, The Alternatives Left to Dan Jewell, the Wife Murderer. Dan Jewell, the negro who is to be hanged Friday next for the murder of his wife, is now endeavoring to get rid ofa bad case of pneu- monia. Dr. Dorsett, the jail physi- cian, appears determined to make Jewell’s last hours on earth as miserable as possible, as he has ordered that mustard plaster’s be placed all over his body to-day, and Jewell is now suffering all the tortures of the damned. Wednesday morn- ing the Sheriff will place the death watch on him, and it will be retained until he is brought eut on the gallows. Small Cases Settled. William Johnson who cut James Cunning- ham, watchman of the car-wheel works, was held by Judge Noonan forthe Grand-jury in the sum of $500 to answer to a charge of as- sault to kill. Dan O’ Keefe, charged with burglarizing the saloon of Edward O. Harting, and stealing $3 worth of cigars and whisky, was allowed to plead guilty to petit larceny, and was sen- tenced to six months in the Work- house. The cases of Thomas Parker and Clem Wal- lace, charged with burglary and larceny and Chas. Donalds, charged with assault to kill, were continued generally. Otto Berlin and Bob Newman were éach given fcur months in the Work-house for stealing $15 from J. J. Reinert. Held for the Grand-Jury. Charles Underwood and Walker Carroll, the two negroes employed by A. A. Paton &Co., who were arrested on a charge of stealing $40 worth of cotton from the firm on February 10, had a preliminary hearing before Judge Noon- an to-day, and were held for the Grand-jury in the sum of $800. The case was nollie prose- quied as to Jim Window, who was a co-defend- ant. These are the negroes who are charged with holding out samples of cotton taken from bales of cotton for inspection and selling them. The amountthey are charged with stealing was extractedin one day it is claimed. Martin staiworth, a colored friend of the defendants, was sentenced to ten days in jail for noisy and boisterous conduct in the court room, he be- ing ejected for it once, but returning again and resuming it.

A Long and Weary Night Watch at the Bedside of the Dying .Man—Mr. Beecher in a Comatose State and Gradually Sink- ing—Hourly Bulletins Issued by the Physician in Attendance, NEw YORK, March 7.—It was a weary night for the members of the Beecher household last night. One by one they would silently move in and out of the death chamber, taking their turns at the dreary vigil. Dr. Searle was at the post of duty without intermission until nearly 6 o’clock, when he retired to his home to snatcb a few hours’ rest. Mrs.Beecher had kept watch over the sick man most of the night, earing he might pass away in her absence. She did, however, take a few hours’ reston her couch in the room adjoining that where the sufferer lay, but she left word to be called the instant the slightest change in her hus- band’s condition was noted. Col. Beecher, who lived in the house with his family, was also ready ata moment’s notice to go to his father’s bedside, shouid the last come, but the dread summons did not reach him. He remained beside the bed for a few hours while his mother took a little repose, but the brave wife did not remain long away from her hus- band’s side. SHE BORE HER AFFLICTION HEROICALLY, and as the day broke she was again in the sick chamber. The other members of the family in the house were W. C. Beecher and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Scovilie and two sons, and Miss Daisy Beecher. Maj. Pond, Mr. Beecher’s lecturing tour manager, who lives close by, was ready to come across to the house also, at a moment’s notice. He is one of the few notof the eminent divine’s immediate relatives, who was atimitted into the house. The Major had traveled many hundreds of thousands of miles with Mr. Beecher, and for many years had been one of the sufferer’s most intimate friends. At 6o0’clock when Dr. Searle went home this bulletin was issued: ‘‘Mr. Beecher has peen gradually failing during the night. His deathis not, however, anticipated at present. (Signed) W. 8S. SEARLE.’’ CROWDS READING THE BULLETINS. All day Sunday, and until midnight, the ofticer on duty at the door of the house was kept busy answering the questions of friends or strangers. For hours the people stood in the cold, damp weather looking at the house, and it was not until the lights in the windows were lowered that the crowd was fairly dis- persed. Even as late as 1 o’clock persons climbed up the steps and tried to read the last bulletins. Most of the flowers sent to thea house came from the members of the congre- gation. Maj. Pond wasin the house most of the day. Hetold the circumstances connected with Mr. Beecher’s daily occupations just pre- vious to the attack, with considerable feeling. He saidthat Mr. Beecher, only on Tuesday last, told him bow strong he felt and how giad he was that he would be able to complete his book in time for the publishers ,and what pleas- ure he found in writing the work. Msj. Pond also told of Mr. Beecher’s visit to Englanda quarter ofacentury ago. In the coming Sep- tember it was intended to give a grand celebra- tion in honor of Mr. Beecher'’s fiftieth year in the ministry and the first half century of his married life; also the fortieth year of his min- istry at the Brooklyn Church. Allthis morning from just before daylight, there was collected a crowd of people on the sidewalk in front of the Beecher residence, eagerly scanning the latest bulletin. NO CHANGE. Dr. Searle left the house at 7:30a. m., after issuing the 7 o’clock bulletin. At five min- utes to 10 he came again, and remained fifteen minutes. When he left he issued the follow- ing bulletin: March *7, 10:30 a. m.—No change in Mr. Beecher’s condition since the last bulletin was issued. Db. W. 38. SEARLE, M. D. Rev. Dr. Jacobs of the Jewish Ministers’ Association called at the house and was allowed to gointo Mr. Beecher’sroom. After luoking intently upon the form of the great divine he sighed and left the room. In the hall-way he was met by one ofthe family and said: ‘‘This is not Mr. Beecher; itis simply a piece of breathing machinery.’’ THE FAMILY. A few minutes after 11 o’clock Col. H. B. Beecher left the house to go to his office for a short time. At the corner he was met by a reporter and asked if his brother, Herbert Beecher, was com- ing on from Fort Seattle, W. T. In reply he said: ‘‘Herbert telegraphed, asking if he should come on, and lanswered that it would not be necessary. I would prefer that the members of the family would remember him as he has beenand notasheisnow. Mr. Beecher is being nursed by an experienced nurse named Riordon.’’ When asked how Mrs. Beecher was he re- plied that she was more composed now that she realized that Mr. Beecher must die. She is in the room constantly. Last night she slept on the cot in the next room. LIFE SLOWLY EBBING AWAY. Dr. Searle said that when he left the house of Mr. Beecher his pulse and temperature were the same. He lies in acomatose state and does not move. His breathing is heavy and quick. Heis perfectly unconscious, ai- though Mrs. Beecher thought this morn- ing that he recognized her when she spoke to him. At times he raises his right hand and places it to his head. The Old Ply- mouth Church Committee will hold a meeting to-night in the lecture-room of the church to make such ar- rangements a3 may be necessary. At 11:30 Dr. Searle returned to the house. Before entering he said he wouldissue a bul- ietin at noon. He did not expect any change in Mr. Beecher’s condition. Life is slowly ebb- ing away, and from the reports of those who have seen Mr. Beecher, it is evident that the end is not far off. AT NOON. 12 o’CcLOocK wNooNn.—The condition of Mr. Beecher at this hour does not vary essentially from that given to the press last evening. The only changes perceptible are an increase in the rapidity of pulse and respirations. These stand respectively 108, and 56 to 38 per minute. The respiration is also more shallow. The temperature reaches 101 degrees. These symptoms indicate the graduai failure of vite ity, which has been anticipated and the consequent siow approach of the end. This course of the disease can only be changed by the occurrence of fresh hemorrhage, an accident which may or may not happen, and the time of which can not be surmised. There are no reasons to believe that a fatal iasue will occur to-day. W. 8. SEARLE. Mre. S. V. White left the house at noon. She said that the family were all in the room. 2Pr.M.—Mr. Beecher’s pulse is a little more rapid. There is no perceptible change. Refused to Condole.

This passenger managed to look interesting to despite the smoke and dust of travel which had located in convenient spots on her. It was @ lady—pfetty face. When the train reached the depot and the lady prepared to move she made desperate attempts to make two hands and a couple of atms distribute themselves among fifteen different bundles and valises after all her eompanions had been loaded with an indefi- nite number of other bundles. Failing to find the necessary hooks on herself to hang the things she looked around with a most heart- 4 ynelting, appealingly pretty and helpless a giance for aid, that if the same expression bad 4 been assumed on the stage, the occupants of the front rows would have run P the risk of scorching coat _—tails a to jump over the footlights and rescue the ; suffering girl.

The aa lady was ‘4 MISS MAY FORTESCUE the pretty English actress whose mental anc ce personal charms captured an eari’s son and % made a successful sortie on his purse. She has captured a large portion of the American public since her coming here about six months ago, and she has captured just as many off the stage as on it. This is due not only to her piquant and interesting beauty, and bright, clever conversational powers, or by what may be called her charming femininity. The first quality that strikes one about Miss Fortescue is this rather indescribable impres- gion of being a thorough woman with the eharacteristics of the sex which attract and appeal to the other sexand her own. It was what first suggested itself to a PosT- DISPATCH representative when Miss Fortescue Kindly received hima few hours after her arrival and within half an hour he was bopelessly in her bondages, sympathizing with all her little trials and entering soulfully into all her pleasurable incidents of a trip half- Way across the Continent. This bundle business is one of the _ idiosyncrasies of the sex in which Miss Foptescue shines. She would not travel withoutapile of bundles—that is, she might travel, but she would not feel distinctly happy and satisfied, no matter how many trunks she had, and when she reaches her destination all the porters, and, in fact, all the males within sight are brought into requisi- tion to get her pleasantly through. She wants to know everything and to see everything, to be known and seen, and before the news aper man knew what he was about the tables ‘ere turned and he was being interviewed by the brightest kind of an interviewer.

I'll just read it now if you will ict me.’’ It happened to be a reference to the rumored engagement of Mr. Marcus Mayer and herself. Bhe laughed a little bit over it and remarked: **] imagine that Americans must be very aomestic. They seem so anxious to marry an actress off. Now I bave been married three or fourtimes to as many different gentiemen, and | am thinking seriously of writing to the Mormons to know if they havea vacant lace for a prophetess.

One likes to know when onéeis about to be married. ‘*No, no; there is not the slightest truth in it. Lhave no idea of marrving.

AMERICAN LADIES should feel complimented, too, because Miss Fortescue said that she had never seen pret- tierwomen. ‘‘They are so delicate and have such exquisite taste in dressing.’’ a. In personal appearance the English beauty £3 is striking and istalland slender. She worea biue velvet robe gathered at the waist, with train, and it was most becomingto her.

Only Two Denominations Remember Him— Church Music. The peculiar thing about to-day’s ministers’ meetings was the absence of any reference to Henry Ward Beecher's illness, except that made by the Congregationalists and the Chris- tians. The big denominations—the Baptist, Episcopalian and Methodist—took no notice of the struggle the great preacher is going through to-day. The Christian pastors took a great deal of interest in his condition, and spoke of his sufferings with sincere expres- sions of sorrow and regret. Rev. H. Garrison, senior editor of the Christian Evangelist, told of how he had met in Epgiand men who had heard Beecher speak for the Union during the war. Especially he mentioned what one Englishman had said about _ Mr. Beecher’s reception at Manchester, the seat of sympathy with the South. There was an outburst azainst the yreat preacher when he began speaking, but before finishing he had conquered all opposition, and at the close the throng pressing forward to shake him by the and was so great that he couldn’t reach them all, and so he pushed out his umbrella to the farthest out, who shook it with goodwill. Rev. I. M. Trible spoke of Beecher as the greatest pulpit orator of the day and age. CHURCH MUSIC. The Presbyterians heard a paper by Rev. George E. Martin of the First Presbyterian Church, on ‘‘The Relation of Pulpits to the Service of Song.’’ He took strong ground in favor of paid choirs aud explained why the pulpit should take active interest in the musical service, discussion following was quite general. trend of it wasin favor of the paid choir as being more amenable tothe authority of the sessious than the voluntary choir, Next Mon- day Rev.

Charles of New York, Rev. W. A. Chambliss of Caron- delet. Next week final action will be taken on the Salvation Army. The Methodists held an informal meeting and the Christians, Southern Methodists and Congregationalists simply heard reports. BELLEVILLE, An Interesting Trial Begun This Morning— Notes and Personals. In the Circuit Court this morning the case of Emil Moncourt, charged with an attempt to kill Joseph Touchette, was on trial. About two years ago Moncourt, who bore an enmity to Touchette for the reason that he be- lieved the latter, who is his brother- in-law, had been endeavolng to estrange his children from him, went out to Centerville, where Touchette resides, forthe purpose of killing himn. He found Touchette in his yard and emptied both barrels of a shot gun at him. Touchette, who saw him coming into the yard with his shotgun on his shoulder surmised his intention and threw himself to the ground an instant before Moncourt fired. He was unhurt, but Moncourt, believing that he had killed him fled, and going to the Cen- terville Cemetery where his wife is buried, lay down upon her’ grave and ~»plac- ing the barrel of his shotgun, which he had reloaded, to his head, pulled the trigger with his foot. Just as he snapped the trigger he turned his head, and thongh the charge madea horrible hole ina the left side of his forehead, he was not fatally injured. He was found unconscious several hours afterwards and sent to the County Hospital, where he has re- mmuined ever since. His wound has not yet en- tirely heaied. The Grand-jury returned about ten iIndict- ments this morning against liquor merchants who have been selling without 4a license, but they were not made public, as Judge Canby hus not vet fixed the bonds. Ferd Bertram, the farmer who had an alter- eation with Ld Rechner near O'Fallon and stabved,him inthe breast,was broughtjtoBelle- ville to-day and placed under an $800 bond, which he furnished. Frank Moeller, Frank Mayer, Adam Nage] and Henry Jansen were arrested last night for fighting, and were fined $3 and costs each this morning. Lhe board of Supervisors was in session this morning, but transacted only routine busi- ness. John W. Pierce was given before Squire Phillivs, this afternoon, on a charge Of assaulting Mrs. Frederickson, the wife ofa saloonkeeper at Reef Station. He wus fined $10 and costs.

The Post-DISPATCH stated last week that Treasurer Jordan has ordered a sorting of all quarters and haives at the Sub-Treasury here of the issue prior to 1853. It now turns out that Congress failed to appropriate anything for the coining of dimes, and as the old quar- ters and halves have more silver than the new, he is getting them together to coin the extra silyer into dimes.

Three rounds were. fought before quite a crowd of spectators. As time was called for the fourth round, both men _ stepped up, showing signs of a severe thrash- ing. This round proved to be very interesting, but Officer Canty put in his appearance just in the nick of time to put a termination to the affair. The men were taken to the’ police station, where they spent the urpatér part of the day. Before nightfall, however, they were bailed out. Geo, T.

How Mr. Newman Bet 85 That He Could Hold a Conversation With a Young Lady That He Never Met Before, and How He Lost the Bet and Was Fined $20 Besides —A Saturday Night Frolic Which Ended Disastrously—The Young Ladies’ Story. The dull monotony usually attendant upon the cases of disturbance of the peace, and assault and battery called every day in the Second District Police Court was varied to- day by the appearance in Court of three young men charged with ‘‘mashing.’’ The names of the young gallauts who suffered the indignity of being placed in the prison- ers’ dock are Henry Glover, devotes his time to the light du- ties of clerk; John C. Newman, @ young man who takes care of the shipping-room of Messrs. Morrison Brothers’ pork-house and John Mason, foreman of the South St. Louis cotton ware-house. The young men were dressed in the latest fashion—light spring overcoats, delicate canes, high and white laundered collars, conspicuous jewelry, and, in fact, their apparel as a whole would lead the casual opserverto the conclusion that they were of that particular class to which modern cant has seen fitto apply the term dude. As one of the audience present remarked, the young men were very ‘‘ah there!’’ When the case was called the City Attorney called out the name of each of the young offenders, asking him the usual routine ques- tion: ‘‘You are Charged with disturbing the peace; are you guilty or not guilty?’’ and each in turn, with a rather mournful and regretiul expression on his counten- ance replied ‘‘guilty.’’ Notwithstanding the plea however, the court thought fit to bear the evidence in the case and the city attorney therefore proceeded to bring the evidence out. The prosecuting witnesses were Misses Mary and Kate McCormick, two rather pretty and neatly dressed little ladies living at No. 708 South Broadway. As might be surmised the two young ladies are sisters and MISS MARKY was the first requested to occupy the witness’ chair. When she was settied comfortably in the seat the City Attorney, a half smile flitting across his face, asked her to explain tothe court the circumstances under which the pris- oners had annoyed them. The gist. f Miss McCormick’s evidence was to the effect that last evening she and her sis- ter, Katie, paid a visit to the dime museum on Sixthstreet. While engagedin regarding the curiosities they were approached by the three young mén whose names are given above and who immediately began to talk ‘‘at’’ them after the fashion generally used by the ‘*masher.’’ ‘‘One moment, Miss McCormick,’’ inquired the City Attorney, ‘‘did this occur in the ‘theatorium’ or upstairs?’’ ‘It was up-stuirs on the third floor where they keep the monkeys,’’ replied the tern ludy, resolutely. ‘‘We were standing before a place with a glass case in it andone of the three made the remark that if he had a glass case he'd like to give it to a lady with ared dress that he had his eyes on. I suppose he meant me, because yesterday I wore a red dress. Then l heard one of them say some- thing about %, and we walked away from them. They then followed us and kept on making funny remarks at us and asking us questions, Finally, one of them, that young nan there (indicating Mr. Newinan) left the other two and walked right up to me.’’ ‘Waiked mght up to you, yes: and what did he say’’’ asked the City Attorney anxiously. ‘*Well, he started out by teiling me not to be frightened, that he wusn’t going to in- sult me or anything like that. Ile said that he had made a be with the other two of }> that he would have a five minutes’ conversation with te. ‘Il want you tosmile, you know, and just talka littie,’ said he, ‘usthough you were chatting with me. That’s all.’ Well.I didn’t want to gmile or talk a tittle with him, either, and waiked away. We then went up to the private waichman and complained to him about the matter, and he arrested them. That’s ail I know aboutit.’’ Miss McCormick then !eft the stand, and her place was taken by her sister, who corrobor- ated her evidence. PRIVATE WATCHMAN LEONARD testified that when he approached the young men one ofthem, Mason, placed his hand to his hip pocket, as though to ‘draw a weapon, but that any such act was averted by the sight of Mr. Leonard’s goodly cane. With the assistance of Officer Casey, Leonard took the triotothe Third District Station, where they gave bail and were reieased, Mr. Newman asked permission of the Court to state his side of the affair, notwithstanding his piea of guilty, and this he was graciously allowed todo, Hie said that he and his two companions felt rather secure in addressing the young ladies and had no desire to insult them or offendthem. He had often heard of inno- cent flirtations at dime museums, and, while this wus true, he had never heard of any un- pleasant consequences following them. It was this matter of precedent which had made him bold to accost the young ladies, whoin he -claracterized as ‘‘lively,’’ and he had no idea that his addresses were to be taken inthe lightofaninsuit. He wished to inform the Court, however. that whatever part he might have played in the little episode, which unfortunately had turned out so sadlv, his young friend, Glover, was blameless, hav- ing been a spectator to the affair rather thap a participant in it. Judze White, having heard both sides of the case, gave his decision. Inasmuch as Mr. Glover was lesa to blame for the trouble than his companions, he would assess a fine of $5 upon him, while on the two others he would impose tines of $20 each and costs. Besides this punishment for the first offense, Judge White also fined Mr. Mason $10 and costs for carrying concealed weapons, as a pistol was found upon his person when he was searched at the police station. As 8s00n as the court closed the young men paid their fines and were allowed to go. ‘They seemed to be inno want of money, of which they had a good-sized roll, and did not appear to take their punishment with pain. The young ladies were both well dressed and re- spectuble in appearance. | ee THE ADAMS MINE. but Encouraging—Mining News. Jas. J. Sylvester, Vice-President, and Jas. Campbell, one of the largest atockholders of the Adams Mining Company, re- turned this morning from Lead- Ville. These gentlemen went out. to €Xamine the Adains property in company with President Adams. The mine has been shut down for a month. It was at first claimed that the shut-down was due to an advance in smelter charges which made it the mine, unprofitable to work Afterward it developed that the advance in smelter charges was due to a change inthe character ofthe ore which madea serious difference in the value ofthe property. Samnuel Adams, the manager of the mine, re- signed, and the stock. which had been selling arouud $6, fell to $2.25. It afterward recovered to $3, which was bid for it Saturday. Mr. Cainpbell said this morning: ‘As I expected I found the Adams xutted; that is, all the best ore had been cieaned out to make a showing Of earnings and to pay divi- dends. We went all through the property. We found places where the good ore had been handled four times getting it to the wagons while by going around they could have brought the wagons right under the chute and dropped the ore into them. But they did not have time to go around. They wanted to get the ore out ag fast as possible regurdless of cost. As I said, about all the carbonate ore in the first contact is gone. They have run about 190 feet on THE SECOND CONTACT and found it to be a sulphiae ore running gy five ounces of silver and 20 per cent lead 10 ton.

We told him the best thing he could do would be to stick by the property and de- velop it, and although he wanted to resign he consented to do so.’’ SMALL HOPES. Mr. Campbell also went through the Small Hopes property. Of that he said: ‘‘Mr. Mudd’s , letter is correct in every particular. There is about $1,900,000 in sight. The ore has been blocked outand anything beyond what is accounted for in this way is simply a pros- pect, justsuchasany undeveloped property might have. A.

Frank P. Sheafor, publisher of the Pitkin (Colo.) Mining News, says, in an interyiew recently published: ‘‘Our mines are showing up better than ever before, and particularly the gold mines. The output is very large and the ore is a market- able grade. From these gold mines the mam- moth Legal ‘lender mill is turning out and shipping Rast from 10, 000 to 25, 000 ounces of bullion weekly.

A Breakfast Which Caused a Fatal Delay— Senator Farwell Secures a Postmaster- ship for His Family Seamstress—A Sena- torial Pleasure Party—Tennessee’s Tax on Non-Resident Drummers Declared Ry Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7.—It turns out that the cause ofthe failure of the deficiency bill was a breakfast. The House conferees, worn out with their all-night wrestle with items and estimates, went into the restaurant to refresh their inner selves at 9 o’clock on Friday morning. At 9:13 their ordez was put beforethem. This allowed just two minutes for the repast, as they had agreed to meet the Senate conferees again at 9:15. It was 10 before the confererce began. Thatinterval of forty-five minutes, if saved, would have been enough forthe work of enrolling the bill. Senator Farwell’s Appointee. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D.C., March 7.—The Post- master-General, recognizing the rule of ‘*Senatorial courtesy,’’ accorded recently to Senator Farwell, the successor of Gen. Logan, the right to name the postmaster in the town in which he resides. The town, Lake Forrest, is a sort of suburb of Chicago, and is in the Congressional District of Representative Lawler, a Democrat. Mr. Lawier thought the office belonged to him and had recommended one of his Democratic con- stituents. Mr. Farwell, however, suggested the rule of ‘‘Senatoriail courtesy,’’ and aftera consultation with the Postinaster-General, the latter gracefully acquised. Mr. Farwell be- haved quite handsomely about it,for instead of designating a maje politician of his party he recommended a worthy and perfectly com- petent young woman, named Mary MeLaugh- lin, who bad been a seamstress in his family and who, of course, never dreamed cf any euch good iuck. The place is worth about $1,500 per annum. The Signal Service Crippled. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7.--The signal service is likely to be sadly pinched by the failure ofthe general deficiency apppro- priation bill. The deficiency estimates for this service aggregated $23,770, a large part of the total being estimated for trans- portation and mileage. The estimate for transportation of men and baggage was asmall item, amounting to but $2,325, but the failure of Congress to appropriate that sum will cause much embarrassment, for, accord- ing to the statement of the Chief Signal officer, itis now impossible to move 4 man, even to discharge or re-enlist him, or to re- ylace those who are dead or dangerously ill. lhe term of service ofanumber of men has expired, but they must be retained in the corps from lack of money to send them to their homes. The most serious consequence of the failure of the bilt, perhaps, will be the discontinuance of the storm warnings, cold waves, etc., at a number of important points, owing to the failure of the item uppropriating $18,000 for telegraphing and reporting these warnings. Sonearly exhausted isthe sum now availuable for this purpose thata heavy cut must be made in the service atavery early day. A Senatorial Pleasure Party. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATC!I. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 7.—To-day at 11 a. m. there left Washington a little Senatorial party, bound for Florida and Cuba.

After three or four days’ pleasuring in Cuba the party will return as rapidly as possibie to Washington. ‘The excursion has no political significance whatever, and, as Senator Palmer ‘falt hands will wear their speech pre- servers.’’ Says, The President's Birthday, By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7.—President Cleveland will be 50 years oldon Friday, the Isth inst. He has not yet decided whether to make any especial occasion on that date, but it is quite probable that he will enjoy it in a quiet domestie way, like the good and dutiful hus- band that he is. He will be only the fourth President celebrating his semi-centennial an- niversary in the White House. The other three were James kK. Polk, Franklin Pierce and U.8. Grant. If Garfield had lived a month longer he would have been 50. The Drummer’s Tax Unconstitutional. WASHINGTON, D.

TWO APPLICATIONS FOR TERMINAL FACILI- TIES NOW BEFORE THE COUNCIL. Neither Bill Fully Discloses Its Objects in Regard to Terminal Points—The Union Railway & Transit Company’s Bill Clashes with the Merchants’ Urdinance— Extensive Railroad Plans Under Consid- eration, At the meeting of the Council Committee on Railroads this afternoon the fight on the terminal facility bills was inaugurated.

The route from the proposed bridge is not desig- nated particularly, and beyond the Main street line it is not specifically stated. The southern end of the line is simply designated as the ‘‘south line of Plum street,’’ making noprovision for connecting with the Union Depot and the district known as the Railroad Valley. It fixes the maximum switch- ing charge at $], to be decreased on realizing overS percent neton the invested capital. The bill introduced by the Bridge & Tunnel representatives was drawn up by changing words and figures on the Merchants’ bill, which was 80 kindly received and which gave evidence of such brilliant promise. The southern charge in this bill is fixed at 75 cents per car for the maximum and 56v cents for the year subse- qguenttoany yearin which the net profitis overS5 percentonthe capital. The proposed route was simply defined by block numbers. As yet none of the officials attbe City Hall have figured out the line selected. By means of the map in the office ofthe Street Commis- sioners it was ascertained to-day that the Bridge & Tunnel! Terminal road asks per- mission to occupy any or all of the territory enclosed in the following limits’ Biock 1703, bounded by Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, Scott avenucand Ran- dolph street; block 1704, Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets, railroad tracks and Scott avenue; block 1705, Twenty-second ana Twenty-third streets, Half street and Scott avenue; block 1706, Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, Scott avenue and Ran- dolph; Diocks 1707 E.and 1707 W, Twenty-third street to Jefferson avenue, Gratiot street and the railroad tracks; block 1718 E., by Twenty- third street and Jefferson avenue, Scott ave- nue and Atiantic street; block 1718 W, by Jefferson avenue and West Jet- ferson, Scott avenue and Atlantic street: blocks 2256, 2254, and 2253 bounded by West Jefferson, "wing, Gratiot, 315 ieeton Atlantic, thence north to Seott and west to Ewing ave- nue; block 1736 bounded by Atlantic, Argyle, Ciark and Ewing; biock 1737, whether north or south, is notdesignated, but together include the district between Clark avenue and Mon- trose avenue, Argyle avenue and Atlantic street; block 1738 bounded by Atlantic street, (iratiot street, Ewing and Montrose avenues; blocks 2250 and 2251, extending on the south side of the tracks from Josephine street to Ewing avenue and as far south as Chouteau avenue; blocks 2237 and 2238, bounded by Compton avenue and Car- dinal avenue, Scott avenue and Gratiot street: blocks 2230 and 2231, bounded by Scott avenue and the railroad tracks, Compton avenue and Rankin avenue; blocks 2208 and 2209, bounded by Bernard street and the railroad tracks, Theresa and Grand avenues; block 2217, bounded by Theresa, Rankin, the tracks and a line extended from Scott avenue; blocks 2291, 2292 and 2293, bounded by Scott to Grand ave- nue, Atlantic to Prospect, thence north to the tracks and west to Cabanne. THIS DISTRICT adjoined the ground now occupied by railroad tracks and isina number of places entirely railroad property. The route section of the ordinance provides for beginning where the western track of the Union Railway & Transit Company now ends on the east side of Twenty- first street, across Twenty-first into and across either or any of the above- named biocks to »vint on A Cabanne street north of the Wabash, St.Louis & Pacific tracks where they cross Cabanne street; thence in a northwesterly direction and parallel to the Wabash tracks to the west- ern city limits. Further than thisthe Tunuel Company has not been compelled to show its hand. The privileges asked for are too exten- sive for yard pupsees, and the impression at the City Hall is that it is a death blow aimed at the Merchants’ terminal bill. Should the merchants’ bill go through the Assembly in its present shape, that is, charg- inga higher price for switching and hold- ing out less promises of a reduction than the Union Railway & Transit will, it could not hope to get much business fromthe roads after the Union Company had arranged to to take the switching out of its hands and bringing itin overthe Wabash ora paralell western line, or right over the Merchants’ own line atareduced cost. Ail these things are counted as proximate possibilities. With such extensive switching facilities the Union Company could handlea big business legiti- mately coming to it, and under the provisions of the Merchants’ bill it coula, on establish. ing the necessary © connections, take the business atta reduced figure. No per- mission to connect with the Main street line at Plum is asked, as theUnion Company is not at all anxious to bheip the Merchants’ out in the small but diffcult undertaking of securing tavorable Poplar street privileges. THE MOVE made by the Union Railway and Transit Com- pany is a clever one, and has put tne friends of § the Merchants’ ill on the alert for similar propositions. There is a feeling among some of the Council- men thatthe ght will bring out the lowest proposition regarding switching rates, and thatif these can then be fixed for years to come by a municipal act it will be a most fort- unate event for this oity. _ a a IT WAS A SUICIDE. The Mysterious Death of James Laughna, Alias Geo. W. Compton. An inquest was to-day held at the Coroner's office on the body of James Kdward Laughbna, the manwho while asleep, as it was sup- posed, jumped out ofa third story window of the Hotel Golden Adder, 614 Market street, at 2:30 last Friday morning, and died that night of bis injuries at the City Hospital. It developed atthe inquest that his real name was not Laughna, but George W. Compton, and that instead of jumping out of the window in his sleep he did s0 while awake and with suicidal intent. John Dieterle, proprietor of the hotel, testified that the man registered there T morning as James Laughna, changing the name to James Edward - na.

THE LEAGUE AT WORK TO-DAY ON THE PUZZLING PROBLEM. What Indianapelis Has Done to Secure a Franchise and Her Former History—The Revelations on the New Rules Made Yes- terday—Kelly and Daly Weighing Up— Sporting News—Diamond Chat. New YorxkK, March 7,—Base ball men from all parts of the country arrived in this city last night, and from the present outlook the lob- esand corridors of the Fifth Avenue Hotel lilpresent an animated appearance to-day if base ball will be the absorbing topic of nversation. The meeting to-day will be to determine which city is entitled to the vacant -acé in the League made by the Louis club’s withdrawal. This preying on the base ball magnate ad. Ever since the St. Louis retirement ‘ie public as well as the managers and base imen have been patiently waiting forthe ‘h of Mareh. Now that the date has urrived the managers den’t feel any easier. larly in the morning a parlor will be selected i the hotel, and in this the three leading magnates, J. B. Day, A. Spalding and Nick loung, will transact their business. PRESIDENT HEIM ofthe Kansas City, has felt the strain ef wait- ‘ig for this important meeting more than any oiher manager, because all the managers with the exception of Spalding have voted against the Cowboys’ admittance. Mr. Heim ita millionaire and is a devoted lover of base ‘all. He has made every effort possible and Cone all that money will do to gain admit- tance to the League, but it has been of no ‘vail. Hehlas went so far as to offer the ‘tven clubs the railroad and hotel expenses from St. Louis to Kansas City, butthe mana- gers objected. They say what they want is a city which is more accessible than Kansas, Cityso they can jump from one city to another without losing a day. Messrs. Heim & Company will strain every herve to be counted in as the eighth club, and ‘| they don’t succeed it won’t be their fault. They say money is no object. At the recent luetting in Pittsburg, when the Kansas Citys lade so many offers to the League committee ‘1 s€8sion, things began to look blue for In- “ianapolis, but the other League managers ‘ere not present, and they made their propo- ‘ilions afterwards. Their preference for In- btaPolis was so emphatically manifested, ., “ever, that the committee were not willin wd assume the responsibility e) “Witting Kansas City in the face of © Opposition of the majority of the League “9S. The committee then adjourned and “ea the Indianapolis people until the 7th of .. | to hunt up backers. If they have $30,000 wey: and show a pvssibility of locating a 2 ln Indianapolis, they will doubtless be adinitted in preference to Kansas City. Ina bac report it is stated that Indianapolis ety Managed to scrape up $21,000. This will ~ Ye sufficient, and unless the heads of the om. “abs chip in and raise about $9,000 mite ee it is iikely that the idea of ad- ig ., -NDIANAPOLIS WILL BE ABANDONED. be Plans of the Indianapolis people were, Mi Dossible, to secure all the players of the , 80On8 and then sell Glasscock and Denny a ‘he highest biddérs. By doing this they ae ‘ain afew thousand dollars above ex- Peises. Watkins of the Detroits should not rite for Indianapolis, ashe knows very weil woe kind of a buse ball town itis. Ten years a Indianapolis had a nine that was almost ve, ible. Nolan was the pitcher, and so 91 “4C was his skill that he was christened ‘‘the vito, NOlan.’* However, he proved a failure the et little while, and so did the club and at a of the season the nine was $5,000 in ~ , half that amount being due the players. the, mack, now of the Chicagos, was one of “o Creditors, tries © J878 Indianapolis has several times Ned professional base bali. Dan O’Le k“ve the city a good club in 1882, but the stoc hadvery little dividends. Jim Gifford, late anager of the Metropolitans, scored a finan- vite failure with his teamin the same town, the then Watkins, now of the Detroits, tried ‘wei in the Western League, but with only ™ results. Nothing like League salaries fe paidthe players, while the attractions b - iY c brought to Indianapolis were superior to any- thing that the League or Association could af- ford singly. BASE BALL IN THE HOOSIER CITY. During O’Leary’s and Gifford’s administra- tions the Association and League clubs were eligible to play there when they choose, as it was notaleague ground. The Indianapolis people thus witnessed all the leading clubs of the country play and the home club had very little traveling to do and atill the town could not support a low-salaried nine, andinm that had very little expensesto meet. What will the present men, who are trying to get into the League, do? Why, shut down after playing a short time, and then another base-ball muddle will be experienced when the season of 1887 closes. The meeting of the American Association in Cleveland will be confined to forming a schedule which will dove-tail with the one the League men will arrange and which will have very few conflict- ing dates. Waiter Watrous, the genial man- ager of the Metropolitans, has not gone to Cleveland, but he will be represented by O. P. Caylor, who will transact all his business in regard to the dates arranged. Preparations for the reception of the Brooklyn Base Ball team will begin on the Washington Park Ground to-day. The toboggan slide will be taken dewn and anew grand stand behind the catcher’s fence erected. The nine will practice in the Fifth Avenue Casino in wet weather, so that every day Jack McMasters, their trainer, can put them through his formula. a, — THE FIRST EXPERIMENT. A Game Under the New Rules Makes a Few Revelations. The first local game of base ball played this season took place at the Union Grounds yes- terday begween the Prickley Ashand a picked nine made of some of the Maroons’ players. The game was doubly interesting, first, be- cause it had the charm that generally attaches to ‘‘first games’’ everywhere, and secondly because it was the first available chance that St. Louis has had of testing the new rules. The experiment, while not conducted under as thoroughly desirable cir- cumstances as it might have been, was cer- tainly satisfactory enough. It was practically demonstrated yesterday that the new rules are weak in certain places, in which, by the way,the anticipation was all the other way, and strong in certain other places in which it was expected they would interfere with effec- tiveness. The game yesterday proved clearly that the amendments changing the number of strikes and balis to fourand five respectively were made without weighty consideration. The alteration, it will be remembered, was prompted by the hope that that increase in the number of strikes and the decrease in the number of called balls would greatly add to the batting strength of the weaker hitters, not to say to that of the stronger. Yesterday it was observed that such is not the case. Men who could not secure a hit in three strikes found thatthe fourth chance was but little if any use at all-and the number of men who struck out was quite as large as it would have been had the game been played under the old _ regime. On one side of the ground no lessthana round dozen of batters died at the home plate with the stick in their hands, and five did the same thing on the other side. Again, not- withstanding the supposed restriction placed on the pitcher in the matter of called bails, four men only went to base on this error on one side, while the other pitcher did not give the opposition a single hit by sending the batter to “first on bad bpm F On the other hand, it was observed that the new rule affecting the delivery of the pitcher had scarcely any of the handicapping effect which many pitchers have claimed for it. It was found that the pitchers could toss in with as much speed as ever, though ossibly with less curve, and could throw to bases with as much safety as ever. If itis not too early to predict, it might not be unsafeto hazarda rediction that the strikes and balis rule will ve changed, say to three strikes and four balls, before the season becomes gray nancee. Base Ball Briefs. Some Chicago experts are placing the Chi- cago team behind Pittsburg inthe pennant race. The ‘‘only’’ Nolan will probably go to San Francisco to fillthe vacancy caused by Van Haltren’s contracting with Pittsburg. Sam Bittle, the pugilist, pitched forthe Des Moines (Io.) team against Carpenter’s VUincin- nati combination at New Orleans on Thursday, and but three hits were made off him. Bob Ferguson swears that he and Wally Watrous are like two doves and that harmony encircles them. But he doesn’t deny the pire longing that he was said to have had. —_—_—— vendatiiadipdatadinints CARNEY AND McAULIFFE, The English Light-Weight Disappointed at Jack’s Tardiness. Friends of Jimmy Carney, the English champion, feel rather disappointed atthe long time which is likely to intervene before he and McAuliffe meet for the light-weight champion- ship of the world. When Patsey Sheppard posted his $50at the time of the McdAuliffe- Gilmore battle for Carney to fight the winner, says the Boston Herald, it was understood that the fight should come off within three months from that time. Shep- pard sent for Carney, who left his racing busi- nets in Engiand entirely with his partner to come to this country, expecting that he would have bis ‘‘mill’’ out with McAuliffe within six weeks at the latest. Hecame in a hurry, but had plenty of time after he got here. The articles of agreement, it is understood, were only signed last week, the battle to come off within three months from that time. Carney did not expect this, but had to agree to it. McAuliffe improves’ the time to spar in Philadelphia, and e6x- pects to make a sparring tour of Canada with Gilmore. Carney, while keeping in good condition, will not go into actual training until four or five weeks before the fight. Until that time comes he will have to pass the time away as besthecan. If he had things his way, Carney would give McAuliffe battle within a month. The sporting men of Bos- ton, by the way, although they have never seen him fight, think well of the English light-weight, and not a few are prepared to back him with their money against the New Yorker. THE KELLY-DALY MILL. Local Sentiment All Worked Up on the Result. Dan Daly, the local middle-weight, and Ed Kelly, son ofthe veteran Tom, are to meet thisevening, draw up and sign articles of agreement for their fight to a finish. It is as yet undecided whether the fight will be for $500 or $250 aside, the latter amount being the original proposition. Much speculation is indulged in as to the result, should the fight be managed with sufii- cient adroitness to insure its occurrence. Kelly is confident of winning and so Is Daly, an@é both have some reason to feel in that par- ticular way. Erroneous impressions have been caused by statements made in certain quarters concerning the weight of the two men. It was said that Kelly weighs in the neighborhood of 175 pounds and that Daly willturn the scale at about the same weight. The quotationis nearly right so far as Daly is concerned, for he has picked up and grown considerable since the | ttle affair at Turner Halla year ago, but Kelly will not come within twenty-five pounds of this figure. Edward stripped jast night, and when he stood on the platform the weight registered at the 150-pound mark. When Daly sparred in the Turner Hall his weight wasin the neigh- borhood of 144 pounds, and he will train down to 154 or 150 bya month’s hard work. Kelly expects to bring himself down to 140 at the highest, so that his competitor will certainly have a slight advantage of him in this respect. Local sentiment is worked up to white heut on the subject, and if the fight ever takes place it will be an event in local history. ne AFTER TWELVE YEARS. The Irish Foot-Ball Team Win a Game frem Their English Opponents. Speaking of the recent Irish-English foot- bail game, in which Ireiamd won by a score of two goals to nothing, a writer in the London Sporting Life says: ‘‘The chief events ofthe week, it is hardly neeessary for me to say, have been tue inter- national matches between England and Ire- land. The most remarkable feature of the Diay on which foot-bail critics have had to cemment too, during the last few days, has been the victory of the _ Irish fifteen over the English team at Dub- lin on Saturday iluast. It is twelve years since England first met Ireland to decide the question of supremacy at the Rugby Unien game. During all this time, Fortune has shown herself to be ny ee, but fickle; on the contrary, her smiles have from the first been showered inone direction—in favor of England. With one exception, in- deed, every one of the closed matches played rior to 1887, had endedinavictory for the tnglish team, and that was at Dublin in side was able to and the honors were consequently divided. Of late, though, the Irishmen have been getting on more even terms, and their play during the last two or three years has shown a marked development. In 1885, at Manchester, as well as in 18%, England was only able to win by the bare majority of atry, and now at length, after a long series of reverses, Ireland has succeeded in breaking the spell of English triumph. No one who has had any opportunity of ap- preciating the pluck and energy with which the Irish Rugby Unionists have stuck to their posts, no one who has marked the resolution with which they have labored to improve and perfect their play, can fail to congratulate them most heartily on the successful re- sult of last Saturduy’s match. Footballers, indeed, of both persuasions, and whatever their nationality, will be’ thoroughly pleased at the well-earned victory of the Irish team. The English players themselves, I feel sure, will be among the very first to recognize the importance of the Irish win, which can have no other effect than giving a fresh and material impetus to the Rugby Union game on the other side of the St. George’s Channel. 1882, when each claim two tries, The Gaudaur-Hanlan Course. Two letters were received by Mr. J. A. St. John to-day seeking to make arrangements with him for the course on which the Gaudaur- Hanlan race is to be rowed. One was from the managers of a hotel at Geneva, N. Y., and the other was from the passenger agent of a new railway running to Lake Chatauqua. As neither letter, however, made any definite proposition as to terms, probably no arrange- ments will resultfrom the communication. es A Sprinting Race Arranged. PITTRBURG, Pa., March7.—A sprinting race has been arranged between Hough of Cleve- land and Taulinger of Johnstown, Pa., to take place in this city on April4. Therace will be 150 yards for $500 a side. Sporting Gossip. Sullivan expected that he would be able to spar bythe l4th, buthe has telegraphed Pat Sheedy to cancel the date. A strong tip is out on Libretto for the Ken- tucky Derby, and considerable money has been laid on him in New York. August Schmidt, the German champion wrestler, wants to wrestie Capt. James C., Daly or the Jap. And Daly and Matty say they want to wrestle big schmidt. Sali, the Italian athlete, who at first seemed anxious to meet the victor in the Cannon-Mil- ler wrestling match in Australia, declined at last advices to meet Cannon. Edward Hanlan recently underwent an ex- amination at Harvard College, and was pro- nounced as healthy asa man could be. He wants to regain chanipionship honors and then retire from the rowing world. Tom Donnelly, the English light-weight boxer who broke his arm in a glove contest at Clark’s, in Philadelphia, the same night that John L. Sullivan broke his arm on Patsy Car- diff, has had his arm out of splints for a week or more, and hopes s00n to be able to put on the gloves again.

NEW YorK, March 7.—The Tribune this morning says: ‘‘The oleomargarine law has not proved suchaboon to the farmers and dairymen of the Eastern States as they ex- pected, Ithas,to besure, put an effective quietus upon the trade in bogus butter, but it has not caused the high prices for genuine products that the friends of the law predicted. Butter has for some time been selling as low, and in some instances even Jower than at this time a year and two yearsago. ‘This fact causes much disappointment among butter men and has led someto think that after ail the law might as well never have been passed. How mistaken is such a notion was shown Toeterday by Assistant Dairy Commissioner an Valkenburg in discussing the results of the new law. **It is true,’’ he said, ‘‘that State dairy but- ter is no higher now than it was two years ago at this time. The reason, however, of this is _. Previous to the enactment of the law housands and thousands of cows throughout the country were allowed togodry through- out the winter, because, in many instances, butter would only bring 6 or 7 cents a pound to the farmer, But when the oleomargarine law was passed the price of genume butter went up all over the country. The dairy business was stimulated to a high degree, and enough butter was produced to keep town prices here. lestimated that over $3,000,000 worth has been produced. This shows whether the butter business has been bene- fited ornot. Thenthink what the law has done forthe consumer, in giving him good butter for the price which he has heretofore been compelied to pay for the bogus article. This is, after all, the great gain. The recent strikes have also done much to depress the butter market.’’ aere about the oleomargarine trade in this ‘‘Well, [think we have got it pretty well under foot.

Eeklesdafer, aged 26, went to the home of Miss Lena Obitz, called her into the garden and shot her three times, one bullet passing through the heart, another through the neck and the _ third through ber head. He then returned to bis home, bali a mile distant, and shot himself through the left lung. He is lying at the point of death, with but little chance of recovery.

While trying to force its way through a bank near Trout Brook, Delaware County, a umped back and went over an embankment thirty feet high into Beaver Kill Creek, carry- ing with itseveral men.

For the first time in its history there were no letters advertised at North St. Louls Sta- tion A. Post-office on Saturday—a tribute to the efficiency of the officials. The United Labor: party held a rousing meeting yesterday afternoon at the hail, Thirteenth and Benton streets. Among the epeakers was James Barnige, who delivered a sledge bammer speech with telegraphic rapidity, showing the need of unity among workmen in politics. Mrs. Lucy E. Parsons, the wife of the doomed Chicaga anarchist, will arrive here next Friday, and on the following evening will address a commune testiyal to be given by the International Working People’s Association at Stolle’s Hall, 13th and Biddle streets. The object of Mrs. Parsons and the Inserpasions). ists is to raise a defense fund of $15,000 for the anarchists, Mr. Dockstader’s pulse, rushed him straight to the center row on the west side in the orchestra seats, found the glittering kuife ‘n a coat pocket, jumped two rows ahead and stabbed his man like a Buffalo Bill Indian. It took just forty-five seconds. In picking up the dagerr he cut his hand almost to the bone. The time when the uct was done had been written on paper. Mr. Montague took bold of F. L. Lavenbury’s hand and moved the hands ona big clock face to9o’clock, That was the fivure written unknownto him onthe paper. The audience cheered and clapped their hands with pleasure at the Boston editor’s success. Mr. Thompson shook his impressionist locks over several groups withthe audience, and with two gen- tlemen of the committee to help him, tooka ring, aknifeand a pin from three persons, tied them upin a handkerchief and hid the stolen property. Mr. Montague did not see any ofthe proceedings, but with ‘‘Impres- sionist’’ Thompson for his subject, he traced his way to the hidden bundle and distributed the three articles—the first in nine minutes, the second in five and the third in one minute, Again the muscle-reader went behind the scenes. Four committeemen HID A DAGGER. Mr. Montague took hold of one end of along wire and they of the other end. He then pulled them upstairs and got the dagyerina dark passage way under the roof. The spec- tators shouted with delight. It took eight minutes. SirJohn Kay wrote four numbers on the back of a blackboard where Mr. Monta- gue could not see it. One of the committee iooked atthem and stood with the reader on the opposite side of the board, Mr. Montague kept his left hand on the subject’s wrist and wrote four figures. He made three changes and ieft the number standing 9,432. it was correct. The audience wus quite well convinced that thé B ston newspuper man was just as clever as the eo mysterious exponent of Bishopism, and when he explained how he did the tricks there was nutany doubt left at all in the minds of most everybody there. He saidthat the whole thing depends on a delicate sense of touch, and the fact that when a subject is thinking honestly, earnestly and intentiy of the presence of an objectin @ secret place, itis easier for him to go there than go anywhere else. HOW IT IS DONE. ‘*A dagger isinthe right hund opposite the corner of this room,’’ hesaid, *‘und lleada man off the stage. As longaslIlead my man in that direction the muscles in his wrist, which I am feeling, offer no resistance. The best subject will be he who is trying neither to heip nortothwartme. WhenlIgettoa place whereaturn is necessary, snd I turn in the wrong way, the subject will invoiuntarily offer aslightresistance. I detect that and move in the opposite direction. If J pass the point the muscles of my guide will move and I halt. So I gradually locate the object. Mr. Bishop had been cuiti- vating his sense of feeling for ten or fifteen years and can tel quickly the thought of the leader through the involuntary motion of the muscle he is touching. The resistance of four men holding a wire will be greaterif Igoina wrong direction than mine will be, so that method is quite easy. Towrite a series of figures, which I have depend on this system: In a squure diagram certain figures are started from certain points. The ‘8,” the ‘6 and the ‘8’ are all started from the same point. inthé upper right corner of the square. ] move my chalk in a curye across the upper part ofthe square. This curve includes all the points from. which figures are started. The man is thinking intently ofa‘‘9.’’ I describe the curve bezinning in the upper left band corner and moving to the right.

Then I know’! am right. » ? “% ' The same principle of resistance applies to all of these.’’ He gave lots of other explanations and the audience was completely satisfied.

It was the original idea to form an entire through line from Mississippi River to San Francisco by meaus of the St, Louis & San Francisco, Atchi- son, Topeka & Santa Fe, and the Atlantic & Pacific roads, but it was also expected to shorten the line at some future time by going through the Indian Territory.

WM. 0. LANGAN &CO., $1 1003 and 1005 Morgan st. Boulanger and the Sneak Thief. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The interest attaching to the recent ac- tions of the French Minister of War, M. Boulanger, recalls an. experience that official had with a thief while sojourning in this city during the Yorktown celebra- tion in 1881. M. Boulanger was at the time a guest at the Continental Hotel, and one. night awakened to findathicf inthe act. of securing his watch from the bureau. The | | General lost no time, but jumping from the bed and seizing his sabre held the intruder at bay while calling loudly fora ‘‘gen- darme.’’ The regular officer of the house was sent up by the clerk, but as he was not in full uniform M. Boulanger refused to surrender his prisoner to him. A police- man was sent for, and upon his arrival the thief was delivered into custody. He was escorted to headquarters, given a hearing and immediately sent into court, where, before noon, he had been tried, convicted and sentenced to five years in the Eastern Penitentiary. M. Boulanger was astonished at the rapidity with which the officials of America in cities dealt with their-criminal glasses. He intended sailing for home the day following the attempted theft, but had concluded to miss one steamer rather than have the thief escape punishment, and the promptness with which the fellow was railroaded formed the subject of a letter of thanks to the Chief of Police from the Minister. The fellow served his full term, less the usual commutation on account of good behavior while in prison. The Opal as a Popular Gem, From the Baltimore American. The opal, which, ever since the days when Sir Walter Scott wrote his romantic story in which this stone figures 80 ex- tensively, and which, in these later days, is supposed to bring ill luck to the wearer, is growing to be one of the most highly favored and most costly of the precious jewels. The ban under which it has rested for so long atime has been re- moved, and where a few years ago they could be bought for comparatively low prices, are now bringing fabulous sums. A well-known jeweler showed me a neck- lace of opals, which, he said, was cheap for $30,000. This necklace is now the prop- erty of the wife of a Brooklyn millionaire. The central opal inthe pendant is alone worth $2,000. I might hardly be believed when . say its magnificent color and lus- ter dimmed the magnificent diamonds that were set with it. I saw at this same place an opal that was to be set in an en- Fis. Ting, which was valued at PURCHASING COMMITTEE Famous Wabash Case. the entire Wabash property, and James Carr, were also present. MR. CRAWFORD is gray, close cut; beard of ate length and also gray. He and by the Judges. of 189 respectively, that the the Wabash receivership. gage bonds on the C with branches, in all 6580 miles, EAST AND WEST DIVISIONS, in them. In the further of his review he showed the Tole upon the property of the petitioners. THE MORTGAGES Having mentioned the Purchasing junior securities and common preferred stockholders. They (not philanthropists and had not bought the property as disinterested third parties. They were trying to do the best they could for the benefit of their inferior securities. | they proposed to take out of court 485 miles of unprofitable road that had been supported at ‘the expense of _. profitable lines | May, 1884, and leave the burden of the re- _ceivership debt resting upon those lines that had not caused the failure of the system and whose earnings had not been lesa than ex- pensesatany time. He could not imagine what answer the attorneys on the opposite side could make to his arguments. He held that if there is a deficit on any portion of the prop- erty—viewed as aconsolidated system—that, as between the elder creditor and the junior bondholder and stockholder, that the latter must make good such deficiency before the in- come of the elder creditor can be taken to the extent of one renny. And that as between the division created the deficit and the division which earned a surplus that the burden of debt must rest upon the author of the deficit. He read the opinions of the court he was ad- dressing expressed previously to the effect that the surplus funds of one branch could not pe diverted to supply the deficit. The money of one set of men could not be given to another set. He dwelt upon these points and closed his argument a few minutes after 1 o'clock, when the court adjourned until 2:30 o’ clock. THE PURCHASING COMMITTER shook hands with Mr. Crawford after his argu- ment. President Joy laid his hand familiarly on his shoulder, saying, ‘‘I did not come down on purpose to hear you, though I was giadI did. Had other business. I knew when I heard ro were here, you were up to some mischief.’’ ‘*There’s always mischief when Crawford’s around,’’ commented Mr. Lincoln. ‘‘Glad I didn’t sitas near you as Hubbard did,’’ Edgar T. Wells observed to the little attorney, who seemed to appreciate the sensa- tion he was creating, and answered ‘‘no dan- ger but I'll make you hear me.’’ Wager Swayne, who was present through- out the hearing and this afternoon replied to Mr. Crawford, isa practical Sabbatarian. will not travel on Sunday, and knowing that his presence was needed here to-day, h rived on Saturday from New York.

THE THORN IN THE oni OF THE WABASH Has Another Chance to Excoriate the Re. ceivership Administration of the Wabash —How Funds Have Been Diverted From Paying to the Support of Non-Paying Lines—Judge Thayer’s First Sitting in the Henry Crawford, the Chicago lawyer, whose representations to Judge Gresham in an appli- cation for the appointment of a receiver to have charge of the Chicago division of the Wabash was the basis of that judge’s sensa- tional assault upon Gould and the receivers of the United States Circuit Court merning and argued before Judges Brewer and Thayer his application forthe division of over a million surplus earnings of the Chicago division for the benefit of the first mortgage bondholders. It was the first sitting of Judge Thayer in the court and his first official connection with the Wabash case, of whose intricacies no one knows more than his prede- cessor, Judge Treat. It was for him opening a novel at the middle ef the third volume. Fortunately, the attorneys engaged in the argument, realizing his position, gave easy, though partisan, diagrams or synopsis of all that which had gone before. There were present in the court-room besides Mr. Craw- ford, for the bond-holders, Robert Lincoln, also of Chicago, Wagner Swayne, J. H. Hub- bard of New York, F. B. Swayne of Toledo, O., and Wells H. Blodgett of St. Louis appeared for the Wabash cor- poration and the Purchasing Committee. committee, Messrs. Edgar T. Wells, O. D. Ashley and President James Joy, Receivers, Solon Humphreys and Thos. E. Tutt, Master in Chancery E. T. Allen, Wm. Taussig, New- ton B. Crane, W. F. Bliss, Elenions Smith, Priest. B. D. Lee, D. P.

His slight form seems even shorter, but is full of nervous energy. His voice is high pitched, penetrative and rasping at times when with excitement he dwelis upon some point that has awakened his indignation. His hair glasses to read by,but throws them away when speaking. Fortunately they are tied to his coat with a stout cable or his energy might get nim into difficulties. He is one of the very few persons who have ever spoken in the United States Circuit Court-room in this city whose words could be heard in any part of the room. For that reason he was listened to with great attention by all persons within the bar Mr. Lincoln first addressea the court on as- sembling at 11 o’clock, offering a prayer of John N. A. Eversoid and Henry H. Worden, Trustees of the lilinois & Southern lowa Rail- road Company and the Great Western Railway of George I. Bonner be granted and the applications of Edwin Parsons, Simon Borg, and Buchanan Winthrop, holders of bonds on the Toledo & Illinois Railroad, Lake Erie, Wabash & St. Louis Railway, Great Western Railway of 1859, Decatur & East St. Louis Rail- read, Quincy & Toledo Railroad, Toledo & Wabash Railroad and the Wabash & Western Railroad to be made parties to the application of George I. Bonner and others intervenors in Mr. Crawford then opened the argument on the application. He explained the applica- tion, which was filed 4 holders of first mort- icago division, which extends from near Chicago to East St. Louis, secure for the benefit of the tervenors the sum of _ $1,315,350.60, which the division has earned over and above ail expenses, extraordinary and otherwise. operation ofthe line, hesaid, had been con- tinuous from the date of the receivership by this Court’s receivers until Judge Gresham's appointee took charge on January 1. He took arecent report of the receiver, made subse- quentto the dissolution of the system into onthe last named date and analyzed it, find- ing charges against the Chicago Division of $112,000 for taxes not due and unpaid, and $27,000 for operation of a steamship line. These amounts he held by rule of justice, by no theory book-keeping should be charged against his property. It had not been held, he said, it had not been claimed at any time that the Chi- cago Division had lost money. Hereviewed the receivership from the date of the filing of the original bill by the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway, and said that no matter what had been the cause of the company’s financial difficulties, the Chicago division had never been and could not be charged with any share under an order of June 28, 1884, of the court to pay interest coupons as rapidly as funds accumulated that could be diverted to that purpose the interest had been paid on the bonds of some lines, while the last coupon of the ye mee Division mortgages paid was on o & Wabash second mortgage due November 1, 1884. He asserted the order had not been carried out as it was intended by the Court it should be, and that favor had been shown. He recurred to the item of $27,000 de- Ticlency of the steamship lines, the main line east of the Mississippi which he denounced bitterly. The Purchas- ing Committee had acquired the steamship lines—it was its property, and there was no warrant for the imposition of its deficiencies charged on which he represented did not cover the steam- shiplines. If the latter had made millions not one dollar could have been touched by the mortgage bondholders he represented. mittee he thought it behooved him say whothat committee was. It was an asso- ciation of four men representing the general | mortgage and collateral trust mortgage and it. P i! head.

GONE OVER UNTIL MAY. The Celebrated Case of the State vs. David Ss. Fotheringham,. In the Criminal Court this morning, afte; the excusing of jurors, éetc., had been fin- ished, Circnit-Attorney Clover stepped to the rail, and, addressing the Court, said: ‘*Your Honor, the case against David §, Fotheringham may be continued for the de. tense by consent. Mr. Harvey, one of his counsel, is sick, and Gov. Johnson, the other, is engaged in the trial of a murder case iy Lawrence County, and has only been excused by the Court there to enable him to come hers and have this case continued.’’ ‘*Yes, your Honor,’’ said Gov. Johnson, ‘‘! was excused by the Court in Lawrence County Saturday, just long enough to enable me to come here and have this case continued. Mr. Harvey is very sick and I don’t know when he willbe able tobe out. We have all our wit- nesses and I believe both sides would be ready fortrial were it not for my engagement and Mr. Harvey’a iilness. The case will have to, therefore, go over until the May term of court.’’ ‘*Well, gentlemen,’’ remarked Judge Nor- mile, ‘‘if you will cali here a few days before the Istof May, the clerk will set the case fo whatever dayin the term you may select There are a number of witnesses from outsid the city in this case, and they are brongh here at each setting of the case at great ex pense, and the next time it comes up I want have it go to trial.’’ Fotheringham is the express messenger who, asiswell known, was indicted for the famous express robbery in which Jim Cum- minogs and others figured. A HORRIBLE SUICIDE, An Unknown Young Man Ground to Pitces at the Chicago Waterworks. CHICAGO, March 7.—A horrible suicide was enacted atthe waterworks on East Chicago avenue yesterday forenoon. A young wan about 28 years of age, and dressed like a Iabor- erin good circumstances, entered the build- ing containing the engines and walked leisurely about looking at the machinery. Passing to the south end of the room, he leaned overthe guard-rail, and for some mo- nents watched the huge walking-beam on the engine as it rose andfell. He glanced hur- riedly about him, and while noone was near except a small boy, he deliberately took off his hat, and, throwing it on the floor, crept under the guard-rail, and stood for a moment as though haltingin his purpose. He looked overhead, and, as he sawthe great beam of the engine descending, he clasped his hands together and threw himself into the ‘‘crank- pit’’ beneath the head of the heavy crank-shaft. His body was literally ground to pieces, yet no sound was heard to escape his lips. The face was disfigered beyond recognition, and hardly abone in the body was left unbroken. There was nothing on the body by which itcould be identified. There was a laundry mark of the initials ‘‘C. P.’’ on the shirt, and pinned to his vest wasa badge showing that he wasa member of the Scan- dinavian Workmen’s Association. The body was taken to the morgue. Thisisthe third suicide that has occurred at the water-works, Mr. Dunder’s Orphans. From the Detroit Free Press. ‘*Well, that’s you, is it?” queried Sergt.

It is one of the rigidest rules in all the social economy of the capital that the wife of the President shall not accept attention from any gentleman outside of the Cabi- net, but Mrs. Cleveland is trampling on thatrule. She goes out to ride w th Mr. W. W. Corcoran, the venerable philan- thropist, who recently celebrated his 88th birthday, and has been & guest at his house. The other morning she and Mr. Corcoran rode out to Oak View, the President’s countr place, and ~ sg a couple of hourswith Mrs. Folsom.

NOT SO STRONG, Wheat Drops Down Along With Corn—Pro- visions Also Weaker. By Telegraph from Jones. McCormick & Kennett® Chicago, to the PosT-DISPATCH. CHICAGO, March7, 1 p. m.—Wheat opened atabout Saturday’s close, 82c for May, and hung around that price forsometime. The steadiness was due to the heavy buying by Hutchinson’s brokers, but as soon as this pressure was removed the price gradually declined ec, when fresh buying orders took a great deal. The scalpers, however, filled the buyers up and a_ further decline to 8le followed, at which price much more stuff was wanted than was bought, and as soon as the buyers bailed out the crowd. the rally was quick and the transac- tions not heavy. The tone of the market to-day has been very nervous, the scalpers in particular, who were inclined to eell, covered on the slightest sign of an advance, while those who were on the bull side unloaded with just as little pro- vocation. Therealizing on long wheat this morning was very heavy and should we finda weak spot after the steady advance. we believe the long side the one to be on. The market closed firm. , of the interstate , it is thought, will be to largely increase the movement of corn from the coun- try. It wasa noticeable feuture that the re- ceivers werefree sellers to-day. The close was somewhat influenced by the strength in wheat. Ribs were dull and trading was scattered, except at lowest prices, where better buying was developed. Lard was irrecu- lar in price and for the most part was quiet and closes tame. Exports of pork, lard and bacon last week all show a fair in- crease Over corresponding week last year. —--- ee Closing Prices—3 P. M. Reported daily by 8S. W.

Latest mail advices from abroad report favorable weather in England, France and Germany for the wheat plant.——The bulls assert that Phil Armour bought 10,000,000 bu wheat in Chicago last week. It he is no more successful in running the wheat market now than he was last summer the _ bears will not be skinned very badly.——Odessa’s grain market is reported as active for wheat, while rye and corn were rather dearer, owing to their scarcity. Stocks of wheat are rapidly diminishing.——American millers are seek- ing through the Government at Wash- ington to effect the removal of 75¢ duty on American flour im- ported into Brazil.—-The wheat market started in this morning as though there would be a desperate struggle between the bulls and bears for supremacy.——The steam flouring mills ef Germany complain incessantly that the new grain duty has ruined them, the steam mills of Hungary, which were to have been the sufferers, are getting on as well as ever.——A couple of small failures were reported in Chicago this morn- ing.——Minneapolis millers fear the effect of the new interstate railroad law will beto place them at a great disadvantage as com- ared with the mills at Milwaukee, Fouts and milis nearer the board.——‘ ‘The report cables higher,’’ said W. L. Green of McOormick & Co., *‘but wpon investigation I find this is on California wheat, which is controlled by @ clique. Red winter is 4d higher and no trade, which makes me suspicious of the deal. ‘'—— . J. Worthington, Chicago, telegraphed Francis, admitting that visible cecreases 2,500,000. believe that unless some- thing new develops wheat will be a sale on all the swells to-day. Cables were firm, but I have seen bring selling orders.’’——‘‘Let May wheat alone,’’ is the pointer now sent out by the bears.—‘‘One thing that is liable to k the bulis out,’’ remarked a er, eas that there are too many bull cliques in wheat. There are the California clique . cinnati clique, the Armour ehawe fe oe other, and they are not working together. are distrustful of one another, and are liable to try to unload on one another at any time.’’ ——Changes in stocks of different markets were: 239 600 bu; City, 29,600, Detroit, 268,200; Toledo, 155,400; Indianapolis, 24,600; Buffalo, 69,000; Oswego, 8,500; Montreal, 5,000; Albany, 1,400; New York, 573,400; Baltimore, 86 , 500; Toronto, 12,000; Chicago, 867,500; Mississippi River, 43,500. Increase—St. Paul, 45,000; Boston, 16,- 100; Philadelphia, 68,700; Milwaukee, 19,800. ——The reporton the visible supply showsa decrease of 1,846,000 bu in wheat, 400,000 bu in corn, 153,000 bu in oats, ——[his is a little early to make a prediction on the next visible of wheat, but it seems safe enouzh to place it at less than 1,500,000 bu decrease. That rail wheat shipped from Detroit, Chicago and other points should be arriving at the sea- board this week, and export purchases have been checked by this advance. ——It will be noticed that the decrease in stocks of wheat at the seaboard has been con- fined to New York principally. Bal- timore, Philadelphia and Boston dur- ing the past two weeks have either decreased only a small amount, or have increased slightly.—J. B. M. Kehlor re- ceived a cable from Liverpool this morning, which stated that, while they noted the state of our market, their own was dull and depressed, and ‘‘we can buy your flour 6d per 100 lbs cheaper from second hands than you will sell it.’’——Private telegrams from Chicago read: ‘‘Sell no May wheat here. It is an Armour deal.’’ ——New York reported 39loads wheat taken for export. It is curious how New York en- joys amonopoly of this export trade. You never hear of any other seaboard market that is able to work any wheat for export. Wheat bulls received almost as great a dump this forenoon as the twist they gave the bears Saturday. The cables received were firm and _ higher, but the weather bright and mild, a perfect spring morning. The bears had gotten over their scare, andthe bulls were not so contident and all the markets on this side were weak and declining. Longs placeda great deal of confidence in the visible supply showing a large decrease, but the com paratively small falling off in New York’s stock was a surprise and discouragement that caused a right sharp break in prices when reported. Another tumble took place when the 1,800,000 bu decrease in the visible was reported, and the market was hammered to 1%@2c below the highest earlyrates. Late came a reaction om reports of large export buying in New York. May advanced buyantly, as it had so few sell- ers that buyers had no difficulty in bidding it up, and it closed firm at l%c lower than Saturday’s ciose, while the more deferred months were llec lower. Spot No. 2 red was lowerand dull, only 15,000 bu and four cars selling this side to local millers at 80%4@80lec, ome worth, at close, 804c East and s0%c this side. Corn was weakened bythe declinein wheat and the small decrease in the visibie supply, and sold off ke, but recovered kc late and closed firm. There were few who would trade and the market was neglected most of the time. Spot grades were lower and there was only a small order and local demand. No. 2, 35¥ecin M. and C., 35%c in St. L., 35e bid E. side.; No8, 34%c in M., 344@345sc in St. L.; No. 4, 82c bid Kast and 33c this side; No. 2 white, 37lec bid this side, 375¢c for St. L. ; No. 3 do, 36c bid this side; no grade, 3lc bid this side. Oats declined along with the other grain markets, their weakness prompting traders to sell. Spot grades were dull, No. 2sellingina small way in A. at 28\4c, which was bid for U.; 28lec for St. L.; No. 3 had 27\ec bid for C. Rye quiet, but tirm, sellers holding No. 2 at d44ec, only drawing a bid of S3c, but later C. sold at 53’gc. Fiour was not so strong nor so active, but rather could be called easy and slow, and this was to be ascribed to the drop in wheat. Buyers held off, and while sellers asked steady rates they found it very difficult to realize them.

The gullies.through the hills on the eastern ' front ofthe county collected the rainfall and guided it towards the Mississippi, swelling into torrents in the creeks and deep ravines. Just above Victoria, the water poured down Joachim Creek ina flood, sweeping away the foundations of the Iron Mountain trestle which bridges a natural ravine at that point. Shortly after 10 o’clock, the Texas ex- press, No. 603, ran onto the. trestle, which gave way without warning. En- gineer Kelly felt the erngine suddenly sink and, quick as thought, turned the air-brake tothe last noteh. This fortunate action re- tarded the train from rolling on to complete destruction and broke the connection between the passenger coaches and the forward part of the train. With a grinding crash that was heard a mile trom the track the thirty-five- ton engine went down inthe torrent, which roared through the narrowed limits of the ravine. ‘Ihe mail car followed the engine- tender, the rear of which struck the forward end of the car, throwing it over towards the opposite bank and de- molishing the forward part. The baggage and express car plunged down into the flood where the mail car fell, but was caught by the tor- rentand whirled away toa point nearly 2,000 feet from the trestle. The smoking-car then crashed down overthe break in the trestle. The next coach stopped within a dozen feet of the brink. The passengers were jolted out of their chairs and berths by the sudden application of the air brakes. The startied passengers rushed from the cars in the driving rain to ascertain the cause of the sudden stop. The flood poured through the broken trestle and over the wrecked engine and cars, making anawful picture in the gloom. The engine and mail car were almost completely covered with water, THE SMOKING CAR, still lighted, was drifting away from the track. About thirty persons were in this car, which was rapidly filling with water as it drifted down. The passengers were still more terrified after they recovered from the The water splashed and beat against the windows and rushed in under the doors. Death seemed imminent, and many of the passengers began praying aloud. The car was filling rapidly, and the passengers waded about distracted waist deep in the aisle. Two children of an Italian woman climbed up on the backs of the seats and collectedly awaited the result of the frantic efforts to discover some way to escape. Edgar C. Whitehead, a boy 13 years of age,was the first to show a mode of escape. Taking up a shoteun he punched a hole through tlhe root and climbed out to the top of the carand from this position heiped other through the aper- ture. Andrew Whitehead, a farmer, and the father of the boy who had cut the hole in the roof, was attracted to the wreck. He saw the Se of the floating coach filled with passengers Vrapping a rope about his waist he plunged intothe flood and after a terrible struggle with the waters reached the smoker. He then feet from The crowd on the bank seized the rope while they cheered the courageous performance.

Ryan, who were in the mail car reported that the Hot Springs mail pouch was missing and seven pouches probably ruined by the water. THE MAIL CLERKS ESCAPED by smashing the side window with a piece of scantiing and escaping to the roof. They om cut the bell-rope and attempted to use ils as a iife-line, but it proved too light. Tro farmers appeared on the banks and seized one end of the line. Shaffer attempted to pass over, but the rope gave way, and he returned to his companions onthe roof. The rescuers on the banks then lashed some planks together and by this means the trio reached the shore. The fireman Hatch, and Engineer Kelley were rescued from tree tops.

Many of the passengers returned to this city on the rescuing train which bad been sent to the scene, shortly after the news reached here. The accident was a peculiar one, and some of the experiences terrible. Engineer Kelly had been traveling on orders to look out carefully. When the trestle was reached the train waa moving at therate of about sixteen miles an hour. The was straight, and nothing suggested the weak condition of the bridge. After his rescue the engineer related his ex- periencesas follows: ‘‘l ran more than an engine’s length, andthen I felt myself sink- ing. There was no Warning, not a quiver, to indicate weakness; we just went down and that was allthere wasto it. I knewat once thatthe bridge had gone, but I did not lose my presence of mind. I did not have time to shut the throttle, but I threw my hand down and opened the three-way cock, putting the air-brakes on for all they were worth. This Idid while falling. I was on my seat box, and Hatch was looking to the rear when we wentdown. We went under water, and I felt ashock. I tried to scramble out, but I was inioned down. My legsto the knees were 1eld fast somewhere, butI don’t know where. I had just realized this when I felt a second shock, and that released me. I felt myself rising, and I made a scramble to get tothe surface. I succeeded and rose just by a log, which I seized, but I had only held it a moment when I thought that something might float against me, and between it and the log I might be crushed, so shoved it away and floated down for about 150 yards. ThenlI drifted under a tree and managed to catch one of the branches, swinging about six inches above the water. It was all I could do to cling to this, but I man- aged to hold until I recovered a little of my strength, and then I drew my body to it.’’ The nireman, who had drifted further down, had also lodged in a tree and was rescued by Whitehead. A large force of wreckers are now at work on the trestle and the derailed cars. ——— Shoe Bargains at the Globe To-Morrow. 500 pair Infants’ shoes given away at l0c,. 1,500 pair Ladies’ Shoes at 75c. 750 pair Children’s Shoes, worth 75¢, at 25c. 500 pair Men’s Shoes, worth $2, at $1.

The Anti-National Seciety Celebrates the Institution of the Paris Communes. CINCINNATI, March 7.—The Anti-National Society of this city celeprated the institution ofthe Paris Communes of 1848 and 1871 last night. About 1,000 people, composed of both menand women, crowded the halland drank beer at tables while the programime was being performed. The hall- was decorated witha profusion of red flags and mottoes with red borders containing revolutionary inecrip- tions. Lhere were no American flags in the hall. Most of those present were Germans, and many could speak nota word of English. The leading speech was made by Mrs. Parsons, the negro wife of the condemned Chicago anarchist. She was very broad in her utterances, and the motley throng applauded her sentiments. At the conclusion of the regular programme daucing began, which was kept up all night. The only national air played by the band was the * ‘Mareeilaise,’’ and during the entire evening remark or act to indicate an terest hostility to American institutions. Mrs Parsons declared that the authorities would not dare to hang her husband and his asso- clates On accountof the storm of righteous indignation which would come from the people. The celebration was the largest the anarchists haye ever held bere. there was not a thing but the bit- | the character well enough, track | tractions at the Theaters—Notes. Mr. George C. Miin gave no good reason last evening that his ‘‘Richard LUI.’’ should: be on the stage nor that any one who has seen ‘*Nichard Iil.’* before should go t» see it. He has apparently discovered nothing new in the character, andthrows no bright light on any ofthe lines. Too many stars seem to be possessed of the idea that individual and original interpretation or particular excellence in the treatment of role are not required of them; simply that they shall memorize the lines, study the accepted busi- ness and get through the parts fairly. The numbor of roles in the repertoire is of more importance than the merit ofany one. So Mr. Miln’s ‘‘Richard III.’’ would strike no onéas being the peculiar interpretation of Mr. Miln, and differs from others only in pos- sessing a young, blooming face, a rather un- usually misshapen body andin being less ef- fective than the large majority of them. Itis not that Mr. Miiln does not seem to understand | but that he has neither the knowledge nor power of giving out- ward expression to his own conception. He has not mastered the technique of dramatic art; the light and shade, stage effects, nor the use of voice, face and body. He hasa habit also of holding to his words and draw- ing them out, which isin bac form. His voice is Dieasant, and has considerable power, but the performance, while there were several excellent passag@s, was decidedly amateurish and crude. The company was ona par with the princi- pal, and did little worthy of commendation. The audience at Pope’s was exceedingly small, and this madethe task of the company to maintain spirited work diflicult. To-night Mr. Miln will appear in ‘‘Hamlet.’’ * = A fine audience filled the Olympic last night for the opening performance of Mr. James O'Neill in ‘‘Monte Cristo,’’ and the house was as enthusiastic as it was large. The romantic spiritof the drama is finely preserved by Mr. O'Neill, who invests the hero with a handsome presence, vigorous personality and dramatic strength. Itrequires peculiar gitts to sustain the character in the situation of the play. Mr. O'Neill doés not fail in the slightest de- gree, but throws around it all the superhuman charm given it bythe author. It is this which enables the star and the play to maintain their grasp onthe public. Mr. O'Neill's reception was as warm and his impression as strong as they ever were, and after his finest scenes he was called before the curtain again and again. His support is evenly excellent, Miss Grace Thorne making an attractive and effective Mercedes, while the Nortier of Mr. J. W. Sbannon, the Albertof Mr. S. M. Kent, the Caderouse of Mr. J. H. Shewell, the Villefort of Mr. Joseph Ransome, the Danglars of Mr. Arthur Leclercq, the Fernande of Mr. How- ard Gould were well taken. = 7 7 ‘*The Inside Track,’’ Mr. Oliver RByron’s play, by F. A. Scudamore, is much after the or- der of the conventional English melodrama in its characters and situations. It gives the ups and downs of a young man wrongtully ac- cused and imprisoned for a crime. He and the girl he loves are vietims of villainous plot- ters, who succeed in inflicting several years of misery on all the good people, but receive their just deserts at last. while virtue receives its proper reward. In the develop- ment of the plot, however, there is a plenti- fulsupply of lauchable comedy and of thrill- ing situations. Mr. Byron is thoroughly ef- fective as Harry Denbigh, the hero of the play, and Kate Byron has a capital partin the little rag merchant, and the play was well cast throughout. The Pex ple’s had a large audience, and the strong polutsin the play were vigorously applauded. M: > ’ * * _ ark Price’s romantic American drama, On the Rio Grande,’’ drew a good house to the Standard last nicht and Kept it enter- tained through the evening. While it is u border drama, there is little shooting in it, the interest depending on the story. The drama was presented by the Lamb-vordon- Price Company, the principal parts being taken by Edward Lamb, M. J. Jordan, Mark Price, Percy Mildon, Miss Mamie Kisselie and Miss Clara Fiogg.

A Desperate Attempt at Robbery—Notes and Personals, Aman named John Connors was lodged in jail this morning on a charge of attempted robbery preferred by Calvin Davis, a farmer from Sedgewick County, Kansas, and John Simmons, a stockman from Wabash County, lilinois. Davis came to this city abouta week azo, his intention being to secure farm lands in this county and locate. Green Tree Hotel, rooming with John Sim- mons, a stockman, whose acquaintance he had made. Last night while he and Siinmons were in the Green Tree saloon, they became ac- quainted with a party who gave his name as Jobn Connors. Connors expressed himself as anxiousto engage inthe stock business, and Simmons agreed to give himastart by allow- ing him to take charge ofa lot of cattle which he intended to shipin atew days to Wichita, han. When Simmons and Davis started to re- tire for the night, Connors requested that he be allowed to occupy the same room with them forthe night. They consented and all three retired. In the middle of the night Davis was awakened by some one feeling under his pillow, where he had placed his wallet containing a considerable sum of money. He grabbed hold of the robber by the arm and demanded to know who he was. The robber cautioned him to keep quiet or he would make him silent. Davis, who is a tall and powerful man, sprang up and grabbed the robber by the throat. They struggled together tothe end of the room where the bureau stood and Davis, bv a great effort, then threw his antagonist to the floor, and while he kept his knee on his chest, lit a candle. When he scanned his fallen antagonist’s features he discovered that the robber was no other than Connors. Simmons had been awakened by this time, and he hept guard over Connors while Davis went out to secure a policeman. While Davis was gone Connors made a desperate attempt to get out of the room, but Simmons was too much for him and held him until Davis and an officer arrived. Davis and Simmons intend to put Connors through. The United Labor party heid a convention yesterday at Banghan’s Hall and decided to put outa fuliticket forthe April election. The nominations made were as follows: Municipal —For Mayor, John M. Sullivan; Alderman, First Ward, Charles M. Carpenter; Alderman, Second Ward, Wm. P. Broderick; Alderman, Third Ward, John Dissit; Alderman, Fourth Ward, Stewart McLean. Township offices— For Supervisor, Thomas Lodge; for Assistant Supervisors, John Cooney, J. P. Lewis and Eugene Keefe; for Town Clerk, M. F. Tissier; for Assessor, Chas. B, Carroll; for Highway Commissioner, John Valiman. The nom- ination for Collector was deferred. The nomination ofa ticket by the labor party has given an entirely new aspect to the polit- ical situation. Itis now very probable that there will be three tickets. The Law and UOr- der League which was mainiy in- strumental in carrving the new election law will doubtless nominate a full ticket, and the leaders of the administration party hav- ing come to the conclusion that with two other tickets in the field they would stand a fighting chance of being retained in power, will, it is believed, abandon their original idea of es- tablishing separate polls and go in to win under the registration. Charles Schaffner, an oid resident of the Island, died this morning. His funeral will take place Wednesday0 at 1 o'clock, to St, Peter's Cemetery. Denis Brennan was arrested yesterday for shooting inside the city limits, and fined $3 and costs this morning by Squire Draggon. Albert Martin, colored, was arrested last night for raising a disturbance in front of the A. M. E. Zion Church. To-morrow will be the first day of registra- tion. All parties who fail to register to-mor- row or on the 15th will not be allowed to vote on election day. The City Council will meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

LONG BRANCH, March 7.—A contest at the polls which bids fairto bein a degree as interest- ing as the campaign of the two Taylors in Tennessee will occur here at the coming township election.

Anderson, Denverg ment. Already people have strong interest in the coming contest, and the population of the upper village is taking sides with one or the other of the candidates. There is every ee ae that an unusualiy heavy vote will be polled in that of the city. Unfortunately for Mr. Hall Ocean Township is overwhelmingly Democratic, but it is presumed that inthe contest between the two tailors, politics will be, so far as they are concerned, laid on the shelf. There will be more fun in this amusing campaign than in a first-class dog show. Can- didate cConnell held a levee at Britton’s drug store last evenincz, while Hall is being overwhelmed with calls from persons who promise to vote for him. Both candidates are noted for their fondness for root beer and pea- nuts, and it is presumed both will be freely used on election day.
