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 appr isrequired. At the end of this time it wil be found nicely cooked ready to serve. THIS IS 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 broiling 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 Senn For fLLUSTRATED CincuLars AND Price Lists. to.all others now in the market. anes | ss = 3 ——- . 5 > ’ » | ‘ ~ ¢ - - | ’ “4 3 .

The Vandalia train, on which the party traveled in the pri- vate car of Presiden, Roberts, was de- layed by the storm of yesterday and did not arrive until 9:15 /, last evening. Mr. ‘iy, R. C. Kerens was at 4° Union Depot and WX ‘greeted Mr. Biaine | and his fellow trav- éelers cordially, and Jas. G. Blaine. was just as cordially answered. They were conducted at once to their carriages and were driven tothe Lindell Hotel, where apartments were prepared for them. Atthe ladies’ entrance of the hotela throng of interested spectators had gatheged, and in the reception room were the gen. tlemen appointed by the Merchants’ Exchange and others to welcome him. Mr. Blaine bowed pleasantly to all who were present, speaking to each one he knew with that frank, cordial manner which is one of HIS CHIEF CHARACTERISTICS. Mr. Elkins, whowas with him, was of course at hcme here where he has been frequently of late in the interests of the St. Lonis, Arkan- sas & Texas Railroud. The party were shown at once to their apartments where, after a short time, the deputation of citizens at the hotel waited upon him. Contrary to ex- pectations Mr. and Mrs. James G. Blhaine, Jr., were not in the party, which was composed only of Hon. James G. Blalne and Mrs. Blaine, Miss Blaine, Miss Dodge, the cousin of Mrs. Blaine, who has made herself famous under the nom de plume of Gail Hamilton, and Mr. 8. B. Elkins. They were assigned to apart- ments Nos. 7, 9, 10,11 and 12, on the parlor floor, with -priyate parlor 13 in the suite as a reception-room. Mr. and Mrs. Blaine occupy 10 and 11 on the corner of Sixth and Washington avenue. Next to them is Miss Blaine, whose room adjoins the parlor, and Miss Dodge and Mr. Elkins are across the hall in 7 and 9. THE COMMITTEE OF CITIZENS who called upon Mr. Blaine included Gen. D. P. Grier, ex-Gov. E. O. Stanard, Mr. John M. Booth, Mr. Web M. Samuels, Mr. Alex. H. Smith, and with them were Col. D. P. Dyer, Mr. D. M. Houser, Mr. B. O. Lee, Judge Normile and several others. They welcomed Mr. Blaine, and after the introductions were over and the party had chatted for a few min- utes, they stated that they were bearers of an invitation to Mr. Blaine to visit the Merchants’ Exchange and speak upcn the public issues of the day, as well as to meet the representative citizens and merchants of 8t. Louis. The in- vitation, they said, was given by the citizens of St. Louis irrespective of party, who would be glad to meet so distinguished a visitor, and one who had takenso active and prominent part in the conduct of the Nation. Mr. Blaine replied that he was in the West on a visit of an entirely private nature and it was not his intention when he started to make speeches nor receive any public demonstra- tions, but he did not feel as if he could decline an invitation of this kind and would be at the service of the committee. at any convenient time. It was arranged, therefore, that the committee should call for Mr. Blaine at 12:15 to-day and escorthim to the hotel, where he would holdareception in the reading-room until 12:45 and a general reception in the Ex- change until 1:15, when he would deliver an address. Gen. Grier, the vice-chairman of the Repub- lican Central Committee, suggested that the Republicans of St. Laquis were most anxious to meet and bonor their distinguished leader ,and asked if a reception could be given during his stay in the city, but Mr. Blaine. while thanking Gen. Grier for the intended honor, said that he had determined to let politics rest and would have to decline such a demonstration. The visit of these gentlemen and this chat enjoyed in the parlor after the arrival made it a late nour last night when Mr. Blaine was free to retire. The party had taken supper on the car, and hence did not require any in the hotel, but it was midnight before the time for rest and sleep came. For this reason there was no hurry about arising this morning. THER HOUR FOR BREAKFAST had been fixed at 9 o'clock and it was arranged by Mr. Howe of the Lindell management, who ‘is an old acquaintance of Mr. Blaine, having had him for a guesta number of times, that breakfast should be served in private lor No. 13 instead of inthe main dining-hall. At the hour fixed the table was all prettily laid with covers for eight. The best service ofthe hotel was brought into requisition and a bunch of white flowers was tastefully on the mantel. The table looked inviting, breakfasters made their ap head- waiter wonton | a expectant attitude white napkins artigtical arms.

"She les her father and is rather tall and slender, with features, nose particularly somewhat promi- nent and long, like her father’s. Her brown hair was neatly dressed in a Mrs. Cleveland roll, and she wore a close fitting cloth dress of dark navy blue which heightened the slender- ness and grace of her figure. Shortly after she had returned to her room, Mr. Biaine came out of his room and went into his daughter’s room for a moment or two. and came out accompanied by her. They then went to rs. Bilaine’s apartment and she came out in the hail, Mr. Howe of the hotel, who came up at that time, Sooke to Mr. and Mrs. Blaine and knocked at Mr. Elkins’s room, who answered in person, and good mornings were exchanged in the hall, a little levee being held there few minutes.

Mr. Howe saw that everything was ae nges, and then left them to enjoy their meal. THE BREAKFAST was not elaborate but was tasteful and had lenty of variety. The menu opened with ruit, which was followed by fresh shad, and for meats broiled snipe on toast and porterhouse steak, with rolls and with cucumbers, radishes and other delicacies in the way of side dishes. Mr. Blaine eats eggs at this time of the year and had acouple soft-boiled for him. The party reimained an hour at breakfast and then returned to Mr. Blaine’s apartments. Mr. R.C. Kerens called shortly after breakfast, but remained only ashort time. Mr. Elkius, who was in the corridor a few minutes, came down stairs after breakfast and went to the offices of the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas Railroad with Mr. Kerens. Mr. Elkins, in a chat with a Post-DISPATCH reporter about the trip,said it had been a very leasant one. The party started ‘from New York day before yesterday morning in their special coach, and came _ direct to St. Louis without stopping and without even getting out of the car. ‘‘All of our meals,’’ said he,‘‘were taken on the coach. Of course, there were many efforts made to in- terview Mr. Blaine and to see him, as well as to get him to make a speech, but he resisted all of them. There were crowds atthe depot at Columbus and elsewhere, but Mr. Biaine is positively notin politics this trip and will have nothing to do with the subject. He is coming West tor the sole purpose of visiting his daughter, Mrs. Lieut. Copa: He will go to Fort Gibson, stopping at Eureka Springs, and then will 5° to Denver and will return by Omaha and Chicago. My coming was simply an accident, I came on business connected with my i railroad, as ~-Col. Fordyce is away and Mr. hkherens is overworked. I will stay where for some time. Politics? Not from me. I am out too just now. You see when a fellow gets licked once he is shyer about tackling the other fellow too soon again. Wearealishy and I cannot say a word about Mr. Blaine’s political plans except to say that I don’t know that he bas any, and this trip has nothing to do with them.’’ ‘ The corridor on the parlor floor was never empty of either guests or employes of the house, and whenever Mr. Blaine showed his head ‘‘That’s him,’’ ‘‘There he is,’’ ‘*‘That’s Jim,’’ and remarks of a like nature would go around the circle. Mr. Blaine showed himself very little, however, after breakfast, but retired to his apartments and rested all morning and received no call- ers. Several cards were sent up to him by visitors and reporters, but they were returned either with some éxcuse or with no answer at all. Mr. F. W. Mott, the Assessor and Collector of the Water Rates, candidate for the Council and Secretary of the Republican State Central Committee, sent his card uD and received answer that Mr. Blaine was out. Mexican Con- sul Cahill had his card returned and contented himself with warming his heels at the heater duown-stairs and won- dering what reputation was worth. Dr. J. J. Kane, probably the best-known of the Irish Blaine men locally, was also in the hotel for some time, but could not get near him, and he and Mr. Mott went out on the sidewalk and condoled with each other. ‘‘Heisthe one man in the country,’’ said Dr. Kane, ‘‘thatI would like to shake hands with. Il only want to grasp his hand once, and speak with him.’’ ‘‘Isn’t there to be any chance. at all?’’ he asked of Mr. Mott. ‘*‘ITdon’t know,’’ said the latter, shaking his head dolefully. ‘‘He will be on ’Change, you know, in ashorttime.’’ ‘*Yes, but I can’t go there. mein.’’ ‘Oh, yes; there will be a public reception.’’ ‘*Yes, but Icouldn’t get near himfor the crowd. lIonly want to grasp his hand.’’ The doctor’s wish was not gratified though doubt- less if Mr. Blaine could have beard his plain- tive voice it would have been THE LADIES OF THE PARTY had two or three callers, however, whom they entertained inthe parlor around tie blazing fire. Mrs. Kerens went tosee them, and Mr. and Mrs. Isaac fi. Sturgeon were also admitted and chatted for haif an hour. The morning was passed in this way without special event until the committee from the Merchants’ Exchange arrived. Shortly before that time Mr. Elkins and Mr. Meek and Mr. Kerens re- turned to the hotel and joined the party. The gentlemen of the committee, ex-Gov. Stanard, President Gaiennie, Mr. Web M. Samuels, Gen. D. P. Grier, Mr. Booth and Mr. Smith, were prompt at the hour ar- ranged, 12:15. They drove up to the ladies’ entrance in carriages and went directly to Mr. Blaine’s room. ex-Goyv. Stanard experimented a little on the rooms and struck a vacant one, Mr. Elkins’ first, when the POST-DISPATCH reporter, who had blazed the way, started im in the right direction, and a knock on the corner room brought out Mr. Elkins, who asked the committee to wait a moment, as Mr. Blaine was not quite ready. In afew moments the gentlemen were asked into the room. MR. BLAINE WAS STANDING by the mantel on the other side of the grate. He wore a Prince Albert coat unbut- toned and a pair of gray check trousers. He wore alsoa plain black tie and his white hair was brushed back from his forehead and his Vandyke beard was closely trimmed, as he always wears it. His face is one that would attract attention in any crowd and if his face did not his bearing would. The most striking features of the face are un- doubtedly his eyes, which are dark and clear, and ure in strong contrast with his somewhat flushed face and white hair and beard. His eyes are very expressive and flash when he is interested and when he turns suddenly on one. He is above medium height, but alongside of ex-Gov. Stanard he looked be- low it. Mr. Blaine has a manner which is simply perfect on occasions of this kind. It is cordial and yet is not effusive. Ifhe recollects any one he shows itat once by a hearty grasp of the hand and some pieasant word, and in meeting a stranger his manner indicates that he is giad to do so without giving impression of seeking to be popu- lar or to make a good impression. As arule he ts dignified and reposeful. His face is full, his nose being large and promin- ent and his eyelids somewhat puffed, but in person he is not fleshy, rather solid looking. His head They won’t let few minutes that it was a pleasant one that he was glad to see the sun out. Mr. Blainethen remarxed at telegram to send, and if the ered and the throngs alon and gazed at the party and tried to distinguish from the sidewalk the features of the man whose fuce has been made familiar by innu- merable cuts and cartoons. Few mistakes could be made concerning the ri as his face is marked and his ad features would be recognized anywhere. the way to the —eenes Mr. Blaine chatted about the city, sayvi at he was here in 1871, and remarking to Mayor Francis that was also here before he (Francis) was Dorn about forty years ago. The carriages rolled down Washington avenue to Fourth street and went along Fourth until Olive street was reached, where the engines at the Block fire stopped the way,and aturn was made to Broadway, and thence to Chestnut street. soon as the word started on the atreet that this was the Blaine party throngs ran in the direction of the Merchants’ Exchange, even the fire losing its charm fora «reat many who had been watching it. The carriages stopped at the Chestnut street entrance and Mr. Biaine was escorted by the committee into the Merchants’ building. A stream lowed the party, and assed along that Mr. Blaine was coming the ulls and bears ran Out to catch a pe ey of him as he went up the stairway and along the halls. The party went directiy to the reading-room, where a space around the door had been reserved by means of the newspaper desks being placed so as to cut off the corner from the crowd. Mr. Blaine, Mr. Elking, Mr. Kerens, Mayor Francis and the gentlemen of the committee took positions at the east end of the room, Mr. Blaine standing next to tne throng of gentlemen who bad pressed into the room from the Exchange with only ex-Gov. Stanard on that side of him. Mr. Gaiennie stood on his left and introduced each tle- man ashecameup. It was 12:80 p. =. beens THE RECEPTION commenced and it lasted just a quarter of an hour. Thefirstoneto speak to Mr. Blaine was Mr. McCormick with whom he exchan a word ortwo. D.T. Jewett, the lawyer, was the next. Mr. Blaine shook hands heartily with him and chatted for a few moments when Mr. Gaiennie began moving the stream along in quick order. Ex-Senator David H. Armstrong was among the first, and as he gras Mr. Biaine’s hand he gavea Bourbon laugh and said; *‘I have fought you ail my life, Mr. Blaine, but I am glad to meet you.’ Mr. BldIne laughed, and giving his hand @ good shuke, said: ‘‘I am glad to meet an hon- ‘est enemy; how do you do?’’ . Several gentlemen follawed, Mr. Wilson of Colorado, N. C. Hudson and others, to all of whom Mr. Blaine gave a word ortwo. Two or three. however, who had met him he re- membered st once, and remarking that he did, would recal! the occasion and ask par- ticulars about their families or friends. L. U. Reavis, who was in the advanced was introduced as ‘‘the capital mover.’’ Ex-Senator Armstrong said: ‘‘He » - man who tried to get the capital to St. uis.’’ ‘‘Oh, yes; I remember I met you once. That is the only thing I have against St. Louis.’’ Somebody asked whether it was on account of Mr. Reavis or the capital, but that gentie- man moved on in a happy frame mind. George Bain came up nextand grasped Mr. Blaine’s hand. ‘‘I met you when you weré here before. I was then President of the Mis- souri Club and introduced you to an audi- ence.’”’ ‘*I remember it perfectiy,’’ replied Mr. Blaine, ‘‘that was about fifteen years ago, wasn’t it?’’ | Mr. Charles R. Pope said he had met Mr. Blaine in Washington when he was Speaker of the House, and Mr. Blaine recalled the incie dent with the gentleman, Mr. Wells, who in- troduced him. R. D. Lancaster was next introduced as Col- lector. Mr. Blaine said, ‘‘Il am glad to meet you, Mr. Lancaster!’’ ‘*T have been taken for you a numberof times, particularly in Michigan, when I was there. I do not see the resemblance, how- ever,’” remarked Mr. Lancaster. ‘‘Ah,’’ said Mr. Blaine, and glancing curiously, blushed a little and passed on to the next. Mr. J. M. Lewis also spoke to Mr. Blaine, and referring to Gen. Henderson, bis uncle, the statesman asked at once: ‘‘How is the Senator?’’ **He is very well,’’ wasthe reply, ‘‘and he told me to ask you to remain in the city until Sunday, so that he can see you as he is away?’’ ‘-I will if 1 can do so,’’ said Mr. Blaine. The crowd then pushed up and little was done except shake hands, as the time was short. Rowse and a4 number of mer- chants, lawyers, and politicians were troduced in quick order, and before the line w Mr. Gaiennie said d arted and Mr. Biaine walked down the room through the office to the door of the Exchange. we, Ihaind canal tie ie hange Hall 4 aine enter e Ex at rawr pe the appointed hour, 12:45, time the crowd gathered around the rostrum and the fountain had swelled to h - tions.

Revision—Paving the Way for Contests —Changes in the Recorder of Deeds’ Office—The Brewers Asked to Indorse the Republican Ticket — Nat Frank’s Fight on Louis Spellbrink—Campaign Chat. — Action was taken at a joint meeting of the Hendricks Association Executive Committee and the Democratic City Central Committee | last night with reference to the course of the Recorder of Voters in striking off some 4,000 names from the registration lists, which is very significant, in view of the general dissatisfaction in the party ranks over the re- sult of Recorder Williams’ precinct canvass. Steps were taken which insure the preserya- ‘for the purpose of reinstatement,’’ as the secretary’s instructions read. The Board of Registration Revisors hav- ipg adjourned sine die and the _ time having passed in which personscan register it is not clear how the purpose mentioned can be accomplished. For this reason it is be- lieved by politicians that the Hendricks Asso- ciation and the Central Committee have some other object in view in obtaining the names and addresses of the Democrats amung these 4,000. Just what this object is the meager re- ports of the meeting of the committees fail to sa 7 Ed Butler, when approached on the subject this morning, said: ‘‘Ican’t say what object the association has in obtaining the names of the Democratic voters stricken off by Mr. Williams unless it is to have such of them as are legally entitled to vote do so on election day,and keep arecord of their ballots. For instance, they might keep their votes in rejected-ballot envelopes.’’ ‘‘Is it probable that these rejected ballots will be made the basis of contests by defeated Democratic candidates—if any of them should be defeated ?’’ ‘‘That question Ican’tanswer. We are go- ing to elect every man on our ticket,and thea again, I don’t like to anticipate trouble. I tell vou what w@uld be a good idea—’’ ‘‘What?’’ - ‘‘Why usethe information obtgfned by the committee in hauling the Reconéer and Gov. Marmaduke over the coals for’oppression in office ?’’ From the remarks of other prominent Dem- ocrats it is highly probable that the way is be- ing paved for numerous contests in the event of the defeat of Democratic can- didates through the loss of votes by the Recorder’s action. Thereis a question in the minds of such a wellinformed politician as Comptroller R. A. Campbell as to the right of the Recorder to make the precinct canvass, and Mr. Campbell’s opinion is shared bya number of other prominent Democrats. The Recorder, on the contrary, backed up by the Attorney-General’s opinion, is firm in his conviction that he is within the ale ofthe law. At all events the registration sundoubtedly the question of the hour in local politics, and itis highly probable that , plenty of pegs will be found on which to hang | acontest after the election. The Brewers and the Republicans. This morning it was reported among the politicians around the Court-house that a meeting of the brewers had been called for the purpose of selecting a Council slate to be voted for by their employes. Inguiry by a Post-DISPATCH reporter elicited the information that members of The Republican City Central Committee were busily engaged in an attempt to get the brewers and saloon-keepers together this aiternoon to indorse the entire publican ticket. Mr. Rufus J. Delano, when asked if he knew of the meeting said that he had heard it discussed by some politicians, but nothing of his own personal knowledge. That such a meeting may be held is prob- able, but this morning it was not by any uicals assured. eco Hobbs and Chair- man Delano of the Republican Central Com- mittee appear to feel confident that the re- eal of the 1857 Sunday law will induce the rewers to stand by the Republicans. Nat Frank Against Spellbrink. Chris Oberbeck, member of the Republican City Central Committee, discussing the fight being made on Louis Spellbrink in the Fif- teenth Ward by Nat Frank and other Repub- licans this morning, said: ‘‘Spellbrink denies that he influenced more than two votes besides his own for Joan M. Glover for Congress. He was an old friend and acquaintance of the Glover family, and couldn’t very well support Frank while Glover wasrunning. Barne iggins won’t get over fifty votes in the ward. The colored vote will go to Spelibrink, and I think his election cer- tain.’’ New Appointments. ‘Recorder of Deeds W. A. Hobbsthis morn- ing made two changes in his office force. John F. Doerbaum, Chief Deputy, was transferred to the marriage license department, and Still- man QO. Fish was transferred to the position of Chief Deputy. The appointments were ap- proved by the Mayor and will go into effect to-morrow morning. Dolan Elected. In the Fourth Ward election yesterday after- noon W. T. Dolan defeated John Cooney for member of the Democratic City Central Com- mittee. Dolan was presented to the Com- mittee last night and took his seat. He is claimed by the administration wing as a friend Mayor Francis, and is expected to vote with Tom Cleary. The Democratic Committee. Ata joint meeting of the Democratic City Central Committee andthe Executive Com- mittee ofthe Hendrick’s Association Secre- tary Isaac Conran was instructed to advertise | to the 5,000 voters stricken off of the registra- tion lists tothe end that measures might be taken to reinstate them. This afternoon another joint menoting of the committee and the association was held at the association’s rooms at which further plans ves made for the management of the cam- paign. H. Martin Williams ascertained yesterday that the names of the labor candidates had not been inserted in the poll-book. A meet- ing of the Labor Party Central Committee will be held to consider how best the mistake can be remedied. Campaign Chat. Lou Jones predicts a Democratic victory on the 5th of April. There were seven candidates inthe Fourth Ward yesterday. Circuit Clerk Zepp confidently predicts that *‘our side will win.’’ Congressman John M.

Jerry Sheehan of the Eighth Ward has be- come an olly politician since he commenced associating with Inspector Baggott. The Noonan faction were laid out in the Fourth Ward yesterday by the defeat of John Cooney for Central Committeeman. Notwithstanding the low esteem in which the working Democrats hold Recorder Wiil- 8, he maintains his usual serenity. Morris J. Halloran’s eledtion to the Demo- cratic City Central Committee from the Tenth Ward is his first appearance in politics. Committeeman Hilke: I got my first taste of Fourth Ward politics yesterday and I can’t say I approve of thestyle which prevails there. Nathan Frank: I finished up my contest case to-day, and am prepared to say that I am pretty familiar with the ins and outs of contest business. Paddy Brennan carries in his inside pocket ple ee i ae forth that Chas. eenan’s ends stuffed the ballot-boxes the Eighth Ward. 39 Arthur Watkins, Republican candidate for the House of Delegates in the Thirteenth Ward,is a boss roller in the Vulcan Iron Works and will poll a heavy labor vote. The Republican City Central Committee re- fused yesterday to indorse the independent candidacy of Paddy Brennan for member of the House of Delegates in the Eighth Ward. Upon application of Mr. R. E. Lee his “¢59> nation as a member of the Kepublican City Central Committee was re-considered by the aoe and Mr. Lee was reinstated as a member. George D. Reynolds has withdrawn his at- tention from sample badges of the G. A. R. long enough to putin afew good licks for Wm. Hammerstein for member of the House of Delegates. Capt. J. W. Brown, who was named for a place on the Democratic Council ticket by the vehement delegate from the Fifteenth Ward, will be an important witness in the election fraud cases. Since the election fraud indictments have been put to the test ex- Assistant United States Attorney Drummond has been very generally complimented on the accuracy of his work in drawing them up. Assistant United States Treasurer Schultz, who is now fully installed ir his new office, intends to follow the example of his redecessor, and to make changes only when p Mabsolutely necessary. Christ Oberbeck is holding out an invitation to sports wlso can wear No. 13 foot gear. Since the nominr.tion of the Republican ticket for the Counc’ he has repeatedly offered to bet his boots on the election. The Democratic statesmen who have become involved in the United States Courts are be- ginning to think well of D. P. Dyer as a husti¢r. The indictments which have jast been brought to light are evidénce of a great deal of work. Comptroller Robert A. Campbell: The city is not required by law to stand the expense of tae precinct canvass just completed by the Recorder of Voters, and I don’t think the city will pay for it, Mr. Williams to the contrary notwithstanding. Delegate Billy Gartenbach denies the justice of Tom Kaye’s claim to the support of all true sports. Billy says his opponent never raised adog in his life, and don’t know anything about breeds. Between these gentlemen the Twenty-seventh Ward is divided in its choice. Judge Charles F. Cady will probably be re- appointed. A man who can bring outa per- sonal vote of nearly 12,000 is considered a weli- indorsed official. The independent race at which this yote was cast was made under cir- cumstances that argue nothing against his Democracy. Under the scheme and charter the winter hours of the clerksin the city employ end to- day and the summer hours go into effect to- morrow morning. Instead of getting down to their desks at9o’clock and working until 5 o’clock, they willshow up at8o’clock in the morning and leave at 6 o’ciock in the evening. Mayor Francis was called to the stand yes- terday in the Frank-Gloyver contest. Some time ago it was reported that on the night of November 2, 1886, Recorder of Voters Hob- litzelie had found two or three ballots with the name of Frank written on them imperfectly, and that he asked the advice of the Mayor. His Honor’s evidence did not confirm the ru- mor. Demanding an early hearing for Edward Green, one of his election-fraud clients, Ches- ter Krum yesterday said: ‘‘The Constitution guarantees every defendant a speedy trial, and as Democrats we stand on the Constitu- tion.’’ Judge Thayer: ‘In which case?’’ Krum: ‘‘In the Green case, if Your Honor please.’’ D. P. Dyer: ‘‘The Green case will be given a hearing before it spoils from over- ripening.’’ Chief Sanitary Officer Francis: I’m wanted as a witness for Dean McBride in those elec- tion fraud cases, but I hate to spend my time loafing about those courts when I have work todo. A few years agol was a witness before the State Grand-jury and was kept waiting for two or three hours until I asked the indul- gence of the jury until I could see to the re- moval of one or two more small- pox cases that were still awaiting my attention. They ex- cused meand told methat I needn’t bother myself about returning. CARTER ACCEPTS. Mayor Harrison Will Again Stand for Re- Election. CHICAGO, March 31.—It is asserted at Demo- cratic headquarters this morning that Cartor H. Harrison will yet head the ticket Tuesday. It is believed that his mind is now inare- ceptive condition, and that it is only neces- sary to bring to bear arguments of sufficient strength to induce him to once more re- verse his latest decision and to run for Mayor. The party is full of ‘divisions, and there is a faction at each street corner. Charlie Kern, Chairman of the Cook County Club, and his followers, are said to be laying low, wait- ing for Harrison to take the nomination and then, knife him. The Government building crowd is divided. The post-office people are against Harrison because,W.C.Goudey is, while the Custom-house people, on the other hand, are supporting Harrison because the post-office crowd are against him. It remains to be seen whether all these discordant elements can be harmonized in view of Harrison being the only available candidate. HARRISON ACCEPTS. The committee of five Democrats appointed at last night’s ety | to select a candidate for Mayor, called on Mayor Harrison to-day and induced him to accept the nomination for Mayor. A member of the committee said, this atternoon, that Mr. Harrison had ac- cepted and would positively make the race. City Collector W. J. O’Nahan was seen by the committee this morning and tendered the nomination for the city treasurership. He ac- cepted the nomination.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., March 81.—The Senate | this morning took up Crawford’s riot bill on THE THIRD TIME. OTTO L. DIERBERGER CONVICTED OF- MUR- DER AGAIN THIS MORNING. His Punishment Fixed at Ten Years in the Penitentiary—History of a Remarkable Case Which has Been Before the Courts for Years—The Jury Find a Verdict Aft- er an All Night Debate—A Dramatic Scene Caused by the Wording of the Verdict. Otto L. Dierberger, the slayer of John Horn, has again been convicted of murder. The jury in his case returned their verdict into the Criminal Court this morning. It found Dier- berger guilty of murder in the second degree, and assessed his punishment at ten years in the penitentiary. The testimony in the case was finished yesterday afternoon and the argu- ments were made last night. R, S&S. McDonaid, Circuit Attorney Clover and As- sistant Circuit Attorney Marshall F. McDonald spoke for the State and C. C. Simmons and Charlies P. Johns8on for the defense. At 10 o’clock last night the case was given to the jury and they retired to deliberate on a ver- dict, Judge Thomas had instructed them on murder in the first degree, murder in the second degree, manslaughter in the fourth degree and acquittal. After waiting for awhile for the jury to report, Judge Thomas adjourned court until to-day. On the first ballot taken just after retiring the jury stood two for murderinthe first degree, three for murder in the second degree, five for manslaughter in the fourth degree and two for acquittal. The evidence was then thoroughly gone over and several other bal- lots taken, but with no-better result. When court opened at 10 o’clock this mcrn- ing the jury were asked if they were ready to report and replied that they COULD NOT AGREE upon averdict. They were as far from arriv- ing at a conclusion as ever and it was feared that they would not be able to agree atall, and the case, which has already been tried so often, would have to be tried once more. The alarm on this score, how- ever, pero unfounded, as shortly after ll o’clock the jury announced that they had agreed upon a verdict and were ready to re- port. They were admitted into the court-room, which was still pretty well filled. As they filed in Dierberger and his wife, who were seated together, scanned the faces of the jurors anxiously, hoping to read in advance the result of their deliberations. After they had taken their seats in the jury-box the foreman of the twelve good and lawful citizens handed the verdict to Clerk Finney. The latter then read as fol- lows: ‘‘We, the jury, findthe defendant not guilty of murder in the first degree as charged in the indictment.’’ A DRAMATIC SCENE. When he got this far the faces of Dierberger and his wife flushed with joy, and she leaned over as though to grasp him, but held back for aimoment when she heardthe clerk continue reading. Mr. Finney concinded: ‘*But find him guilty of murder in the second degree and assess his punishment at ten years in the penitentiary. ’’ The beam of hope which lighted up the faces of Dierberger and wife for a moment disap- peared andinits place was to be seen the gloom of disappointment. The verdict was a severe blow to them, forthey had hoped for much better. They expected it would be either an acquittal’ora conviction for man- slaughter with avery light sentence. It was aiso a little more than Messrs. John- son and Simmons, his attorneys, had bargained for, and they immediately fled a motion for a new trial in thecase. They also stated after court that if the motion was overruled they would ain appeal the case. Judge Simmons hopes t6 ob- tain a reversal on the grounds that Judge Thomas did not properly interpret the de- cision of the State Supreme Court in regard to instructing the jury as to Dierberger being an officer. The attorneys for the prosecution are very much elated over the result of the trial, and say that the verdict will hold. THE THIRD TIME. This isthe third time Dierberger has been convicted of murder. The offense for which he was tried was committed about 1 a’clock on the morning of May 25, 1883, on a Market street car. A young Englishman named Horn was returning from a celebration of the Queen’s birthday with his wife and aie friend named Joe Jackson, The latter got into a dispute with the driver of the car, also an English- man, about the distance from Manchester to Liverpool, and Dierberger interfered. He said he was an officer and attempted to arrest Jackson, when Horn interfered, and said Dierberger was not an officer. A scuffle en- sued and Dierberger drew his revolver and shot Horn, the latter dying almost immediately. On February 15, 1884, he was convicted of murder in the first degree, but was granted a new trial on the ground that one of the jurors who sat in his case was prejudiced against him. At the second trial of the case he was convicted of murder in the second degree and sentenced to twenty-five years inthe Penitentiary. The State Supreme Court granted him a new trial because the court refused to instruet the jury that Dier- berger was an officer. He had been granted a deputy constable’s commission by Con- stable Frese although the commission was not recorded and hence illegal. The Supreme Court held, however, that Dierberger sup- posed he was an officer, and so far as the trial was concerned should be regarded as such. now convicted for the As he is out on to answer to a charge of murder in the second degree, and the conviction is for that offense, he has not been restrained of his liberty and left the court-room after the verdictcame in. Judge Thomas announced that be would pass on the motion for a new trial on April 23. A slight cold, if neglected, often attacks the lungs. BROWN’S BRONCHIAL TROCHES give sure and immediate relief.

A jury was called in the Probate Court this afternoon to hear the evidence in support of the claim of Isaac Halin against the estate of Nathan Abeles. This is a disputed demand for compensation for personal attendance during sickness.

In the matter of the assignment of Alfred A. Prall the aes s bond was approved to- day in court, and T. J. Foy and Wm. Beattie were appointed appraisers. An order of sale was granted. An appeal to the Court of Appeals was al- lowed to-day inthe suit of William F. Hurck against the St. Louis Exposition and Music Hall Association; likewise to Gustave Rad- dotz in the suit of the Crescent Furniture and Lumber Company against Otto Raddotz. The law docket will be called to-morrow in Circuit Court No.2, Judge Seddon’s division and Court No. 4, Judge Dillon’s division. + ee A BOLD BANDIr. He Robs an Express Carand Shoots the Messe nger. Utica, N. Y., March 31.—‘‘Telegraph Huyt, at Albany, that I have been shot and robbed.’’ These were the words uttered by Express Messenger Lake, running on train 56 on the West Shore road, which arrived in Utica at 10:16 last night, when he was found in his car bleeding freely from a wound in his shoulder. While the train was making the run between Clark’s Mills and this city, which only occupies seven minutes, some men boarded it between the baggage and express Cars, shot the mes- senger and attempted robbery, but with what result, or how severely the man is injured, could not be learned, as astop of only threes Minutes was made here, und all was con- fusion. When the train reached Frankfort, nine miles east of here, Lake was attended by aphysician. The would-be robbers escaped, but it is believed they secured no plunder. localexpressmarn could not —_ the door when the car reached here, and his sus- picions were aroused. He forced the dvor open and found the messenger wounded as stated. Later information is to the effect that there was but one assailant. He entered the car and demanded the messenger to throw up his hands, The latter did not hear what he said, and the robber shot him. He then gagged and bound him and rifled the safe of its con- oer but the amount secured is not known ye >. Small Booty Secured by the Robber.

Skiff & Richards, where his wound was dressed. He was shotin the upper part of the right arm, the ball passing around tife shoulder, causing anugly wound. The doctors probed for the ball, but were unable to locate it. Lake en- dured the operation heroically with- out chloroform. He was weak from the shock and loss of blood but walked to the station and took the 3:30 a; m. train forjAlbany on his way to home Sharon Springs. He stated to areporter that soon after his train left Clark’s Mills, a man entered his car through the side door, which he shoved back, saying as he _ entered: ‘‘Throw up your hands. Lake did not realize for a moment what was up and failed to comply with the demand. The intruder thereupon leveled his revolver at the messenger and shot him. Lake fell to the floor of thd car, and his assail- ant said: ‘‘Now, d——n you; when I tell you to hold up your hands again, you’ll doit, won’t you?’ The assassin then proceeded to bind the hands and feet of Lake and put a gage in his mouth. One of his legs the robber tied tothe safe. The desperado then a a bunch of keys out of the pocket of the meSsenger and unlocked the safe, which he rifled of its money packgges. The amount secured is béliceved tt be between $700 and $800. The robbe¢ left the cur at the Delaware, LacksWwanna & Western Road crossing. Before lgaving the car, the robber said to Lake. ‘*D;—n you, if you say anything about this I will Gome back and kill you.’” The messenger rejlied: ‘‘You would not robamanandthen kil him, too, wouid you?’’ Lake tried to free jimself, but did not succeed. At Utica his ‘car was opened and he was freed from his uncomfortable position. Atthis place it was decided that he had better stop over asd have his wound at- tended to. The messénger says his assailant was a large, strong mén, wearing a mask that hung down over his ciest. His hair Was cut very short at.the ba¢k and his hands were calloused, hard and d@ty. SUSTAIN # GIBBONS. Cardinal Manning “I the Knights of Labor —Builders’ $trike Ended. BALTIMORE, Md., Mérch 31.—A special from Rome gives the followng as the text of the letter of Cardinal Mining, regarding the Knights of Labor, tofa prominent divine of that city: ; ARCHBISHOP’S Howe, WESTMINISTER, LOND{n, March 11, 1887. My DEAR LORD—I have read with great as- sent Cardinal Gibbont’ dpbcument in rela- tion tothe Knights of Laba. The Holy See will, am sure, be cenvinced by his exposition of the state of tle New World. I hope it willopenanew felq of thought and action, It passes the underftanding that the officious persons should be listened to rather than church officials, Srely the Epis- copate of the whole} world is the most powerful and dfect' instrument in the hands of the folly’ See for gathering correct local kndwiedge and en- forcing ite decisions. W can know the temper of America, Englanj and Ireland as they who have afinger tpojthe pulse of the people? Hitherto the vorlj has been gov- erned by dynasties; hensef¢th the Holy See willhaveto deal with the} people and it has bishops in close dhily} and personal contact with the peopk. The more clearly and fully this is perceived the stronger Rome will be. Never atany time has the Episco- pate been so detached tom civic powers and united in itself,and so vell able to see,to real- ize and to use its powerj. Failure to see and use these powers willibreed much trouble and mischief. My tanks are due the Cardinal for letting me hare inthe argument. If I can find a copy ofmy lecture on ‘The Dignity and Rights of Lbhor,’’ I willsend it to him. It will, 1 think, q@alify me for Knight- hoodintheorder. Bretfano, some years ago, published books on th¢ guilds, in which he proved that the agociation of labor and craft goes D&k to antiquity, but there is this notabe fact: In the En- glish and Teutonic laws Ley were recognized, favored and charteredjin the Imperial and Latin laws they were t&gorously prohibited. We are at this day, as aUhurch, the mother, friend and protector ofthe people. As the Lord walked among then, so His church lives among them. The Caminal’s argument is irresistible. Your affectionate servait in Christ, HENKY EDWARD, Cardinal Archbiship of Westminster. = \ -_—_— A Short-Lived Strike.

A Passionate Plea by an Indian Territory Delegate—Programme of To-Day’s Ses- sion—The Treasurer’s Report—Officers Elected—To-Night’s Meeting. The second and last day of the decennial convention of the Presbyterian Ladies’ Board of Missions for the Southwest opened this morning promptly at 9:30 o’clock with the regular officers present and an increased gen- eral attendance, which was doubtless called out by the inspiring mass- meeting of last night. The devotional exercises were led by Mrs. E. D. Hoag, and continued till 10 o’clock when the new addition to the pro- gramme, the ‘‘Question *Hour,’’ was given its first test. It proved to be a very interest- ing feature and was taken to by the ladies who showered in many questions in answer- ing which instructive debates, some brief few extended, sprungup. The query, which brought out the liveliest exchange of views was: ‘‘Is a board using all the money raised for home purposes entitled to be called a missionary board?’’ Remarks were made by Mrs. E. 8. Allan of Collinsville, Iil., Mrs. H. J. Jordan of Min- neapolis, Kan.; Mrs. Henry Nelson of Firat Church, St. Louis, Mrs. Miller of Tanlequah, I. T., and Mrs. Steele of Warrensburg, Mo. The general sentiment of the convention seemed to be that any work done for one’s own church should not be counted in the re- port as home missionary work. A PASSIONATE PLEA. Mrs. Miller of Tablequah then came forward and begun an address that proved to be quite sensational. She gave an account of her experiences in the Indian’ Territory. She is a quiet little lady, whose voice did not reach much further from her than a dozen rows of pews, and the ladies were not particu- larly interested in her remarks, until she touched upon her six Cherokee boys. Then she became passionate in voice and gesture. She told of how she had converted the little fellows and seen them grow up toward man- hood, and how convinced she was that if their souls and the souls of other boys like them were to be saved, a home would have to be built. This bome would cost but $750, and couldn’t the ladies raise the needed sum? She gilded the time-worn appeal for money with a pretty little show of feeling. Her voice had been growing more tearful and her eyes more dewy, and asshereached the culmina- tion of her appeal, she drew from her pocket a letter. HOLDING IT HIGH in her hand she said, -‘Ohn, sisters, I have just heard by this that one of those dear boys has gone wrong. He bas taken to drink. Oh, my _ boys, y boys,’’ she cried in such a tone of pain thatthe moist-eyed ladies near her began to Shell out their silver. As the lady caught Sight of these substantial tokens of the sym- puthy about her she gradually grew calm, and finished in a quiet manner. This stirring address was followed by a paper on ‘‘Unemployed Talent,’’ by Miss Conklin, read by Mrs. George E. Martin. It was acriticism of the ladies of the churches who held aloof from active co-operation with the board’s labors. There was to have beena discussion on this paper, but as the subject had been treated before in the questfon hour and the savory scent of the dinner was steal- ing up-stairs the matter was dropped for the the noon recess. OFFICERS ELECTED, On reassembling Mrs. L. W. Allen led the devotional exercises, after which came the re- ports of the synodical secretaries, submitted as follows: For Missouri, Mrs. Henry Bul- lard of St. Joseph; for Kansas, Mrs. 8. M. Davis of Newton, Kan.; for Texas, Mrs. L. M. Parmelee of Valley Creek, Texas. A ‘‘model meeting’’ was then held, Mrs. L. A. Davis of Newton, Kan., conducting. The report of the Treasurer, Mrs. E. T. Allen, was then presented and showed the following receipts in the rear: Synod of Missouri, Synod of hansas, $4,587.15; Synod of Texas, $509.25; Svnod of Illinois, $80; Synod of Indian Territory, $267.45; miscellaneous, $84.01; grand total, $16,066.91. Balance on hand April l, 1886, $1,494.37; disbursements of cash, $11,785.- 37; balance in cash on hand, $958.23. The report of the Nominating Committee was read, and on its recommendation the old officers were re-elected, with the exception of Treasurer, Mrs. E. T. Allen, who, at her re- quest, was succeeded by Mrs. Daniel uhn of the Lafayette Park Church, this city. The other oflicers are: President, Mrs. J. H. Brookes; Vice-Presi- dents, Mrs. J. W. McIntyre, Mrs. E. E. Web- ster, Mrs. J. W. Alien; Recording Secretary, Mrs. C. R. Hopkins; Home Corresponding Secretaries, Mrs. 8. W. Barber, Miss Agnes H. Fenby ; Foreign Corresponding Secretary, Miss Sallie E. Marks; Chairman of Committee on Literature, Mrs.Ira Boutell; Chairman of Press Committee, Mrs. J. W. Allen. The report of the committee on time and place recommended Leavenworth, Kan., for the next meeting, which was selected. After the passage of the usual resolutions the con- vention adjourned. This evening there will be a mass meetingon ‘‘Foreign Missions,’’ with Dr. Broo«es presiding and Rev. Thos. C. Winn of Japan and Rev. G. E. Martin of St. Louis making addresses. THE SECOND LARGEST. Yesterday’s Snowstorm Only Surpassed Once Before in Fifteen Years, The snowstorm of yesterday kept up the record of this winter by depositing three inches of snow on the ground, as recorded by the Signal Office, between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. yesterday. This is one of thd latest . snowstorms noted in fifteen years. Only one spring snowstorm has exceeded it in quantity, that of March 28, 1876, when Yinches fell. The only other vernal snow falls depositing an appreciable amount of ‘‘the beautiful,’’ were on April 12, 1875, a few flakes; on April 29, 1877, very light snow, but heavy frosts; on April2, 1583, 1-14 of an inch; April 8, 1884, very light; April 2,1886, 14% inches. There was a little sleighing last night, but to- day the snow has nearly all gone. LOCAL NEWS. An unknown boy broke a plate-glass window in the German-American Bank yesterday.

JEFFERSON City, Mo., March 31.—Gov. Mar- maduke sentintothe Secretary of State this morning his veto of the Springfield Court of Appeals bill. The Governor says: I have the honor to return to you, withont my approval, Senate bili 87, entitied ‘‘An act to establish an Appellate Court to be known as the Springfield Court of Appeals, the appointment and election of judges and their tenure of office, and pfo- Viding for the appointment of officers and attendants of said court, and their com- pensation. The effect of this bill is to establish a third Court of Ap- peals at ny cost of from $15 , 000 to $20,000 per year, exclusive of building and library, and introduce an additional element of uncertainty as to the judicial interpretation of our laws, which may lead to unfortunate results. Thisis avery important and some- what expensive matter,and we should carefully consider the wisdom, prudence and necessity ofthe action before taking it. This I have attempted todo. In this endeavor I have been led to the inguiry, why was the organization oftnese Courts of Appeals authorized? The answer is to relieve the over-crowded condition of the docket of the State Court of last resort, and thus afford to the litigants: of our State speedy, economical and final ceter- mination of matters in controversy. These are the purposes, and the only purposes, in their creation. The courts were authorized by the people with great reluctance, and only be- cause a great necessity was upon us for some kind- of permanent relief to the Supreme Court. They should be multiplied only tothat ex- tent absolutely necessary to execute the pur- poses of their creation. Unless a further ne- cessity of such nature obtains, and the organ- ization of thiscourt will materially assist in meeting such nevessity, it appears to mé perfectly plain that the court should not be established. Otcr Supreme Court is far behind its docket to the great detriment of the people, and ameasure that would afford it proper relief would meet with hearty approval. But does this court afford or tend to afford such relief? It certainly doesnot. It would have juris- dictionin those cases only which now g9 to the Court of Appeals at St. Lotis and Kansas’ City. It would § lesson the work of those two courts andof them alone. Is this relief needed? The following facts answer that inquiry with convincing force. The Court of Appeals at Kansas City was organized and began work two years ago, Here is its history: There were sent to this court onthe first general order of transfer 550 cases. Since that time there have been sent to this court from the Supreme Court fifty cases, making an aggregate of 600 cases re- ceived from that court. The total number of cases appeabed to this court to the 22d of January, 1887, is 360, an average per year of 180. At the March term, 1885, 225 cases were submitted to the court; at the Oc- tober term, 1885, 310 cases; March term, 1886, 210 cases; at the October term, 1886, 150 cases; a total of 895 cases to which must be added twenty cases which have been considered and disposed of upon motions to affirm judgment, which makes the aggre- gate number disposed of during the years 1885 and 1886, 915, or an average of 45742 per year for each year. The court is up _ with its docket, and bas but 135 cases for hearing at the March term, 1887. Of the ten counties proposed to be taken from this district, cases have been received from them as foliows within the two years ast: Jasper, 23; Polk, 2; Dallas, 3; Cedar, 1; itekery, 2; Barton, 8; Dade, none; Vernon, 8; Camden, none; Maries, 1; total, 48; average per year, 24. The showing from the docket of the &t. Louis Court of Appeals is the following: From each of the counties proposed to be taken in- to the Springfield district, March term 1885, 3; October term, 1855, ; March term, 1886, 15; October term, 1886, 30; March term 1887, 18; to- tal for the five terms, 101. For the past two years the St. Louis Court of Appeals has called its entire docket at each term, and delivered opinions in all cases sub- mitted. From these facts it is beyond dispute that no delay to the litigant is had in these two courts, and that they do not need relief at present. Should they ever, the General As- sembly can then promptly provide it. This bill neither affords any relief where it ie needed, nor in any way expedites the final adjudication of cases appealed from the Cirenuit or Oriminal Courts, neither does it materially lessen the cost of such litigation to the client, as only attorneys attend these appeliate courts. In view of the foregoing facts, I cannot be- lieve that the best interests of the whole ogi le will be subserved by this bill becoming a aw,and hence decline to sign it. Very re- spectfully, JOHN 5.

The fire was discovered by an employe of the at noon in the fourth the ppocapee y=, o It was — damage of about $5,000 to goods stored on that floor, but the entire house from garret to cellar was flooded with water. Mr. J. Sloan, who was largely interested in goods stored in the building, said to a Post-DISPATCH reporter: ‘‘The origin of the fire is wrapped in mystery, nobody ap know anything about how it started. The principal Comoge was done by water. I esti- mate the stock in the building as worthin the neighborhood of $75,000; goods stored at about ,000. The damage it is almost impossible to estimate. I should think, however. that i¢ was very larze. The carpets and furniture are almost a total loss.’’ ‘‘Can you place a figure on the loss?’’ ‘*] should estimate the loss,at about one- third of the stock.’’ A The stock was covered by $22,000 insurance, divided almost equally between the North American, Anglo Nevada, Farracat, Sun of England, City of London, New York Fire, Un- derwriters, New Hampshire and Merchants’ of New Jersey insurance companies. Mr. P. J. Hendgen. agent for these companies, estimates the loss at less than the insurance. —_—_—- a me ee KASKINE. (THE NEW QUININE.) No Bad Effect.

From an Interview witb Speaker Carlisle. ‘No Congress that ever sat since the organi- zation of the Government has had as much business presented for consideration, nor passed as many bills. During the two sessions of the Forty-ninth Congress there were introduced into the House 11,526 bills and joint resolutions, and into the Senate 3,476 bills and joint resolu- tions, making in all 15,002, nearly twice as many as ever before. Of these 1,442 actually became laws, and 194 more which passed both Houses failed to take effect. No other Congress in time of peace ever passed so many really important general statutes as the one which has just adjourned. Among these may be mentioned the act to regulate the succession to the Presidential office; the Interstate Commerce act; the Utah Polygamy act; the agricultural exper- iment station act; the act to regulate the jurisdiction of the United States Circuit Courts; the act relating to the count of the electoral vote; the act to investigate the accounts and management of the sub- sidized Pacitic Railroad companies; the act to prevent inclosures of the public lands; the act to prohibit the acquisition of lands in the Ter- ritories by alien subjects and corporations; the act to amend the law in relation to the im- portation of laborers under contract; the act to authorize the President to adopt retaliatory measures toward Great Britain in the fisheries controversy;the act to extend the free de- livery service; the act to authorize claimants toinstitute suits against the Government in the District and Circuit Courts of the United States, and to amend the law in re- lation to the reference of claims to the Court of Claims by the two Houses of Con- gress; the act forthe redemption and recoin- age of the trade dollar; the act to repeal the tenure of office law; the act to prohibit officers and agents of the United States from hiring out convicts; the act to adjust and settle all questions relating to land grants to railroad companies and to recover lands improperly patented to such companies; a number of acts forfeiting lands heretofore granted to railroad companies and restoring them to the public domain, and many other very important gen- eral luws which must have a large influence upon the future of the country. _ A Blaine Story. Portland Special to the Hartford Daily Times. Nothing which has occurred in Maine for some time has caused so much comment and criticism as the vetoing of the Medical Regis- tration bill by Gov. Bodwell, to prevent quacks and incompetent persons from practicing medicine without an examination. The Gov- ernor signed it and sent it to the Secretary of State’s office for record. That very night Mr. Blaine had the Governor and Attorney-Gen- eral Baker in his study. ‘*You must veto that medical bill,’’ thun- dered Mr. Biaine. ‘‘Iits passage means the loss of 10,000 votes to us. We can’t stand that. Every Spiritualist would vote against us. The bill must and shall be vetoed,’’ said the dis- tinguished son of Maine. ‘*But I have signed it,’’ remarked the sub- dued Governor. ‘*That makes no difference. A veto must be written, taking a Constitutional ground against the principles ofthe measure. Baker will prepare the veto message for you. lam too excited to write it myself.’’ The Governor’s name was scratched from the bill, the record of his signature wiped out, and the veto message sent in to the Senate, Many of the best lawyers in Maine pro- nounce the bill, as signed and recorded, as good and valid law as there is in Maine. The educated and abler physicians ofthe State, without regard to party, denounce the veto, and there is nodoubt that the matter will come upinthe courts. Itis the talk of the State, and there are more disclosures yet to come. . A Manager Bernhardt Didn’t Bull-Doze. New York Letter in the Brooklyn Citizen. Bernhardt is imperious enough to balance the account with managerial foes for the whole dramatic profession. She knows—or believes, which is the same thing—that her demands must be acceded to, and her threat of ‘‘not acting’’ has been successfully played so often that she has come to have almost entire confidence in it, Nevertheless, she met ber match in Santiago. There a hard- hearted manager bluntly told her that he was Minister of Police as well as manager of the theater, and if she did not go on she would go off—to jail. She took refuge in a frenzy of tears, thereby demoustrating her questioned likeness to ordinary womanhood, but she wenton that stage and played the play out.

The Ruckstuhl Divorce. Judge Barclay has granted a decree of dk vorce to Mrs. Sarah Ann Ruckstubi against Wm. H. Ruckstuhl. This was an aggravated case of cruel treatment endured by awife. The marriage took place on the 7th of February, 1883. Mrs. Ruckstuhl alleged that her husband gubjected her gross indignities, that he was intem. erate in his habits and violent n his conduct at all iimes. He made a prac- tice of whipping her without any cause or prov- ocation on herpart. From November, 1884, to June, 185, he treated her shamefully almost daily, leaving marks of hig brutality upon her face, side and limbs. He was of a most jealous disposition, and used shocking language in addres#ng his wife. She further alleged that he denied the paternity of the child, Henry Lafayette Ruckstuhl, and neglected to provide for the support of his family. Mrs. Ruckstuhl was compelled to seek employment in order to obtain the neces- saries of life. She wasgt length compelled to leave her husband on account of his cruel treatment. Mrs. Tremlett’s Story. A divorce suit was filed late last evening in the Circuit Court by Mrs, Lena R. Tremilett against John Tremlett of the Hotel Belvedere, Washington avenue. They were married in May, 1879, and lived together until last Octe- ber. Mrs. Tremlett makes serious allegations against her husband, charging him with con- duct rendering her position intoler- able. She accuses him of i heaping shocking indignities upon her at vari times, making false accusations avainst and acting in the most violent manner. Si® alieges that her husband was unduly intimate withafemale servant and that he caressed another woman in her presence. He also took the part of a young woman who had as. sauited his wife. Mrs. Tremiett further charges that her husband transferred his af- fections to another woman and that he tried to get rid of his wife by filing a suit for divorce which he subsequentiy withdrew being unabie to furnish proof of the allegations contained in the petition. When the separation took place he said that he was going to Florida. Mrs. Tremlett asks for ali- mony, alleging that her husband is possessed of $80,000 worth of property. Judgment Against Flamm. A judgment for $15,306.73 was rendered this morning in the Cireuit Court in the suit of Joseph F. Imbs against Frederic JI. Flamum tha ex-bookkeeper of the Imbs firm. The action was bronght to recover sums of money which had not been accounted for, and the judgment was obtained by defanit. The conveyances made by Mrs. Flamm were recently sustained by the coyrt. A Conflicting Claim. A suit was entered to-day in the Circuit Court by Mrs. Minerva Snodgrass against the National Association of the National American Association. She alleges that she is the widow of Alvin 0. Snodgrass who heid a cer- tificate of membership in the association which carried with it a mortuary benefit of ,000. It appeared that in the first instance the certificate was made payable of the deceased and was chu shortly vefore the death oceurred, May 9, “ The association wants to pay the money to the proper party and aa ce is entered to the suit together th a stipulation of dis- missal of a suit previously commenced by the association with the view of determining the matter. Notes in Court. A petition for divoree was filed to-day by Reinholt Bucht against Augusta Bucht. They were marriedin Germany on April 18, 1870. Mr. Bucht complains that in April, 1885, his wife deserted him without any cause or provo- cation on his part. Inthe matter of the assignment of John Kraft the court to-day appointed John H. Bidieman and Philip Someriad, appraisers of the property. Judge Lubke to-day heard arguments of, counsel upon the demurrer ofthe Missouri Pacific Railroad Company to the million dollar suit of l. M, Woodward onan alleged contract. EAST ST, LOUIS. His Indictment—Notes. Michael Haynes,a stone mason employed by John Neemes, the contractor, fell from the abutment of the bridge which spans Cahokia Creek near the Relay Depot about8 o’clock yesterday afternoon, and striking his head on some timber below was ‘instantly killed. Haynes was 65 years of age, and leaves a widow and a daughter. They reside in New York. He also had a brotber living in 5t. Louis, who was notified and will take charge of the body, Coroner Woods held an inquest yesterday afternoon. A verdict of ac- cidental death was rendered. Yesterday the Chief of Police received a tel- egram from F. M. Murrell, Chief of Police of Jackson, Tenn., asking him to arrest and hold a man named R. M. Lawrence who was #sup- posed to be working in the M. & 0. Yards in this city, and was wanted there for forgery. An officer was sent down to the M. & 0. office and learned that Lawrence haa worked there but had left on the 19th of this month. E. Webb of Caseyville reported at the police station this morning that a horse was stolen from his stable Tuesday night. The horse i described as betas ofa dark brown color, 16% hands high and blind in the left eye.

A Slight modification ‘of it will probably be Minderstoeod more clearly. To say that the saloon will be a power in the next Housé of : tes would be a special application of general truth peculiarly befitting the ele- ments which will goto make up the next lower branch of municipal legisiators. Of the various wards in the city not a few of thém will be represented in the next House by the genial gentlemen who fill the ‘‘grow- ler.’’ The saloon-keepers seem to have awakened from along lethargy and suddenly realized that a chair anda desk was awaiting them in the chamber of the House; then to have made up their minds that they would get there and that is exactly what they did so far ‘as all practical purposes are concerned. This determination be it borne in mind, was ‘not confined to either of the prominent politi- | eal parties, for of the total twenty-eight can- didates for seats in the House on the Demo- cratic ticket eight are saloon-keepers, and of the same number on the Republican five follow’ the same profes- ‘sion, Most of these are saloon-keepers pure and simple; others are saloon keepers with interests in other business af- fairs, but the saloon interests predominate. The following table shows the saloon-keeping candidates on both tickets: WARD. DEMOCRAT. WARD. REPUBLICAN, 4th—Peter Walsh. 3d—F. W. Renz. 6th—B. Feldmeier. Tth—C. Fischer. Tth—F. J. Cossman. 10th—M.

It will be seen, therefore, that the saloon is making a determined effort to break into po)- ities this time, and that ifthe gentlemen who are sketched below are successful in their as- tions, they will come very near control- =~ next Honse of Delegates. low will be found personal sketches of lhe majority of these saloon-keeping candidates mentioned in the above list together with their ideas on legislative topics of interestto citizens at large.

But itrich had ager among is personal char- acteristics a thirst for sociability, and the disposition lured him from the farm to the great metropolis of the West. He iaid the Deitrich Norden, foundation of his business success by embarkin in the grocery trade in thecapacity of a retail clerk. By frugality and other successful qual- ities in four years Mr. Norden was able to be- gin business for himself, which he did at his present stand, No. -2145 Gratiot street. The store is by no means a pretentious one, per- haps,it lacks the display of canned goods that usually adorns the entrance of the retail house, but it has other recommending features. A thirsty customer can pass through a little alleyway of cracker boxes and find a portion of the apartment partitioned off with swinging codfish and serried and artistically dusty crock- ery of various utility. In this little nook there is a table where gentiemen can while away the lagging moments with a quiet game of ‘‘peenuckle’’ and drown their sorrows in the frothy amber. There is no ef- fort at fresco, but the margin saved by that denial Dietricht devotes to the generosity of a larger beer-giass. Proprietorship has not spoiled the simplicity of Mr. Norden’s nature. A reporter who called upon him found it im- possible to distinguish the host from his guests as they sat about on the nail kegs and dis- cussed the approaching contest. The honor was one that Mr. Norden was reluctant to as- sume for it took at least two inquiries to dis- engage him from the group. ‘‘This is your first political venture, Mr. Norden?’’ the reporter asked. ‘*Well, Iwas asked two years ago already, but I wouldn’t,.’’ ‘*Ah, indeed, but—’’ ‘*‘Well, Ihave often been a delegation, and Ionce was a State’s convention, but thatis — The reporter remarked that it was all that could have been expected ofso younga gentie- man. **Well’’— Mr. Norden begins most of his sen- tences with that ejaculation of satisfaction— ‘*Well, the fellers in this ward wanded me. Rainwater and Prather and Judge Carr and Cobb. You know Cobb.’’ ‘*Yes, yes, everybody Knows Mr. Cobb. How do you stand on the question of the ele- vated railways, Mr. Norden?’’ **Well’’—and Mr. Norden looked cantiously at his carpet slippers, ‘‘l think there ought to be improvements. ’’ ‘*Yes, there had.’’ ‘*But’’—there came a slight dropping of the mustache at the corners and a look of sadness crept into the ony eyes of the candidate, that were shaded by the brimof his character- sketch bonnet—‘‘I don’t like this track in front here.’’ Mr. Norden pointed to Gratiot street. Sure enough, there was a surface track of the Mis- souri Pacific, freshly laid and completely shut ting off all wagon trafiic. Along silence fol- lowed. Norden was evidently thinking. A clerk was chopping the cooperage froma box of oranges that had just been received and were to be put on sale. Two small boys were looking on. ‘*Come,’’ said one of them, ‘*let’s go, Jimmy.’’ ‘*let’s walt. MATT. F. KOHRING. Matthias F.

Directly opposite Mr. Borgelt’s saloon isa vacant lot onto which the politicians, in the excitement preceding an election, frequently drive a stake-wagon trimmed with Chinese lanterns, and express their views to the curi- ous citizens who assemble at the dis- charge of the usual sky-rockets. On such occasions it is in order during the inter- mission to refresh at Mr. Borgeit’s. In this manner the young man has cometo know not Only the members of the impromptu audi- ence, but many of the extemporary orators, and notoriety bas resulted almost us favorably for him as popularity. Mr. Borgelt’s ideas on questions of public interest are stillin embryo. He has no fixed opinions on the elevated bill, and his convic- tions on the street sprinkling ordinance are quite as nebulous. He was sure, however, that he preferred no allusion to them in any- thing that might be printed concerning him. PETER WALSH. Among the most prominent candidates on a ta the Democratic [aie *) side of the House Ns going to make up a the saloon ele nent is Peter Ss, Walsh, Mr. Walsh Ww secured the nom- >: ination in the Fourth Ward and is, together with his two brothers whose senior hs he is, credited with having not a little political power. The brothers are well » Known in the Fourth Ward as ‘the Walsh ' Boys,’’ and Peter ‘is regarded as a Inan = of some means. He and his brothers are the proprietors ofagrocery store with the regu- lation saloon at- tachment. In all the strong figbts on Central Com- Peter Walsh, mitteeman dJim- my Moore, who so suddenly Sag a sorominent figure in city politics, ish as been on the side of Jimmy, and has aided him in every available way that he could. It will be remembered that in the elec- tion last fall Walsh and his two brothers were accused of polling more votes in the northern precinct of the ward than were received by the leading candidates on both the Republican and the Democratic tickets. Of course these charges proved a source of more or less an- noyance to the boys, but it has evidently not interfered seriously with Walsh’s influence in the ward and its politics. don and Mr. Jessel. which showed that she was suffering great pain. Itappears that an attempt had been made to poieon her. Duringthe second act a basket of choice fruit was taken to the box- office by a district telegraph messenger, bear- ing the inscription: Miss Agnes Herndon———FROM AN ADMIRER. This is not an unusual occurence at the dif- ferent theaters and the fruit was sent to the actress’s dressing-room and nothing further thought of the matter. At the fall of the cur- tain Joseph A. Jessel, manager for Miss Hern- don, went back of the stage and visited the actress’s room. He ate some of the fruit and Miss Herndon did also in his presence. She soon complained to Mr. Jessel of feeling badly and grew rapidly worse; then Miss Herndon was attacked with a fit of nausea. Her maid attended to her while Mr. Jessel ordered thatthe curtain be held down. He ran toa neighboring drug store and procured an emetic. The peculiar flavor of the fruit, combined with Miss Herndon’s sudden sick- ness anda SUSPICIOUS WHITE POWDER-LIKE SUBSTANCE adbering to the skin ofa plum that he exam- ined gave him the idea thut all was not right. During his absence from the theater the actress vomited freely and this probably saved her The emetic was given to both Miss Hern- The actress finally recov- ered sufficiently to finish the last act of the play when she was sent to the Hotel Hungaria and aphysician called. Mr. Jessel was seen at the hotel soon after the performance and said that Miss Herndun had been persecuted for some time by an infatuated person who began to write letters to her at Cincinnati. Some of the letters were signed by the full name ‘‘De Witt F. De Lange,’’ some by the initials of the name and others familiarly by ‘‘De Witt.’’ They were filled with silly stuff about the man’s admiration and honest love tor the actress, talk about his ionely life, and maudlin words about fate and suicide. He sometimes sent flowers to her. Miss Herndon gave the letters to her manager who did not think the case worthy of attention so nothing was done, W hen the actress went to Chicago ANOTHER LETTER CAME from the ‘‘crank.’’ After saying that he had walked part of the way from Cincinnati and had gone without his supper to buy a ticket to see her act, the letter continued: ‘*l have come all this distance to see and hear you; now, won’t you see and hear me? The love I bear you justifies me in demanding it. Be in the corner parlor of the Palmer House to-morrow (Thursday). [demand this asmy right. Heaven will punish you if you refuse to bestow happiness on a teilow-being. I shall expect to see you to-morrow. Yours always, eS ee This letter Miss Herndon turned over to her munager and the latter kept the appointment. But he could not discover the crank in the crowd of people in the hotel corridors -and parior. Onthe following night a note written on soiled paper was handed in at the stage door which said: ‘*MI8ss HERNDON—You have crushed a heart that would have eg tm at nothing to please you. Take care that heaven in its justice dves notappoint some one to inflict punishment life. the Grand Opera-house was occupied yester- day afternoon, and there were besides upward of 500 persons standing, many of whom were women. Among those who were eo fortunate as to secure seats were Sara Bernhardt and Mrs. Langtry and Mme. Bernhardt’s son. They occupied the first box on the left asthe spectator faces the stage. All about it were twined the French and American colors, but Mrs. Langtry evidently had not been ex- ected, ior no English fi was visibie. he commotion caused by the entrance of the two famous actresses spread quickly over the house and everybody knew that they were there. Opera-glasses were turned on the box, and forthe time it seemed as if the visitors would get more attention than Miss Fanny Davenport, who was billed to play ‘‘Fedora.’’ The box rail was so high that all the audi- ence could see was the bead and shoulders of its occupants. Mrs. Langtry wore a brown hat of the conventional high style so ob- jectionable when it is in front of one at the theater, and Mme. Bernhardt wore a low black bonnet. There was another lady with them in the box whom no one recog- nized. She sat at the front nearly facing the audience and M. Bernhardt sat just behind her. Mrs. Langtry sat next, and when her purple fan was not before her face, people could see her celebrated profile. It was the subject of much comment and discussion among the spectators, and the question of her beauty was thrashed over again. Mme. Bern- hardt sat so that the curtain of the back con- cealed her entirely, but now the rapid flashing of her black fan could be seen, and this little favor was thankfully reeeived. Between the acts hundreds of ladies tried to crowd around to the aisle on the right of the auditorium that they might look directly into the box and see all that was there; but they were disappointed, for Mrs. Langtry and Mme. Bernhardt withdrew intothe back part, where they conversed with favored ac- quaintances who called. They made a lively party. Mrs. Langtry whispereda great deal with Mme. Bernhardt, who smiled and often went so farasto laugh quietiy but heartily. The unknown lady also found occasion to put her face behind a fan several times and speak to one or the other of her companions, Mme. Bernhardt devoted herself almost entirely to the performance. At the end of each act both ot the actresses patted their gloved hands together vigorously, and when the curtain rose on ae “*recall at the end of the third act, Mme. Bernhardt stood up and stepping into full view of the audience tossed a huge bouquet upon the stage. It was either awkwardly thrown or loosely put together, for several of the flowers fell out of it and were scattered over the boards. Mr. J. H. Barnes, who was playing Loris, stepped forward and picked it up an gave it to Miss Davenport, who bowed very low to her illustrious rival. When the play was over and the last recall responded to thé people shouted, ‘‘Bernhardt!’’ and the or- chestra played the ‘‘Marseillaise.’’ Mme. Bernhardt then came to the front and bowed to the audience and saluted the leader of the orchestra. —- er T— eS - Mrs. Potter’s Second Appearance. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. LONDON, March 31.—In an interview last evening, just before she went on the stage for her second appearance, Mrs. James Brown Potter chatted about her debut. She was very much depressed andnot alittle cut up over the adverse criticisms of the morning papers. She declared, however, that she was willing to work and overcome obstacles. The au- dience last evening seemed more appreciative and gave Mrs. Potter areal burstof welcome when she first appeared. This greatly en- couraged Mrs. Potter and there was a marked line, and parties intending to buy should see them. | Call at 411 North Fourth St. AMUSEMENTS. OPE GRAND HOUSE. TO-NIGHT. MR.

Cass avenues, He was engaged in the refreshing act of com- pounding a cocktail for a customer who leaned on the counter opposite him. A glass for the reception of the combination stood on the wainut slab and a short giass of ice- water was there with which to follow the medicine. It was a nice bar, with pretty fixtures and bright glasses, and Mr. Griffin wasn’t a bad-looking barkeeper. It was very easy to see just why Mr. Griffin should be selected by his party asthe best man to make the laws for the community which he adorns. The word adorns is used because everything about Mr. Griffin’s place is ornamental. Mr. Griffinisa native of Ireland and is 43 years ofage. He has resided in this country / since 1849. He began his business career asa teamster, and having made enough money out ‘of that line to start him in the saloon business he adopted politics and irrigation cotem- poraneously. ‘*What do zoe think of your prospects in the election, Mr. Griftin?’’ ‘*Why, if I don’t bate John Pohimann, I’ll scare him pretty bad,’’ and Mr. Griffin half- closed his grey eyes and looked doggedly at the reporter, like a wrestler watching-for a The nose is very prominent, strong and cleanly cut. The lip curls a little, as though gome experience in early life or grammar had made Mr. Griffin cynical, but he handies @ shaker very prettily. The hair is inclined to be wavy, and it falls on the candi- _@ate’s forehead witha touch suggesting the “First Napoleon. It has been biack, but the lines of grey are creeping in. Mr. Griffin’s whiskers are ofthe Uncle Sam pattern. This is the gentieman’s initial move as a candi- date, but he feels quite confident. His experi- ence has in a measure fitted him for the duties of the office he aspires to. In the line of busi- ness he has paid two kinds of licenses and has some knowledge, consequently, of the city’s revenue. Every now and then in the evenings some ofthe callers rap as they sit aboutthe saloon and then Mr. Griffin lays something on the table. His experience with a lemon-squcézer has taught him also to get out of a subject all there is in it, and if he con- tinues in his present vocation it will be diffi- cult ever to place him ina position where he can’t say something. F. W. RENZ. Frederick W. Renz, the Republican candi- date from the Third Ward, was born in the eventful year of ee, H native a s parents brought m to America of 11 he emigrated to America and came directly to St. Louis, where he has since resided. For the past twenty years he has been in the busi- ness of keeper ofa saloon and has paid adram-shop license to the city. Mr. Kohring is florid and fat and over 40, but he is jovial and good- natured. His eyes are biue and from looking after his business interests after night-fall they are partiy bloodshot, bat he has the re- spect of his — in his ward. His pres- , ent venture is his first Matt, F. Kohring. personal move politically, although he has acted asa member of the file for many years. As a Republican he has always voted the ticket, and has been conspicuous in a manual capac- ity at flag-raising and similar demonstrations. He is at present proprietor of the saloon, at 1400 Cass avenue, where he dispenses spirituous refreshments with the matutinal free-lunch frills. On the most modern principies the necessary’cooking is done on a floor higher than the one on which it is served and is brought down through” the usual dumb-waiter shaft-way. Mr. Kohr- ing’s personnel creates the idea of physical strength perhaps rather than unusual mental activity, and his record, as far as obtainable in the ordinary and superficial method of the reporter, strengthens thatimpression. He is very muchin earnest, and sincerity is often more recommending than cerebral agility. The only public question of present agitation on which Mr. Kohring has decided biasis that.of city sprinkling. His business location on a cor- ner framed by two macadamized 8 s has forced upen him an appreciation of beauties of the theory. BERNARD FELDMEYER. The Democratic candidate in the Sixth Ward es is Mr. Bernard Feild- meyer. He is engaged tin the grocery and sal- eon business at 1434 Malinkrodt street. He is 87 years of age was born and raised in St. Louis. His education was received in a paro- chial school. He is mar- ried and. has three children. _ Although Mr. Feld- “meyer has clerks, much ~. of his own time is taken spent hours strolling down one aisle looking at the superb display of silks, satins ana vel- vets In all shades and tints known to the dyer’s art; rich barred and plaid moires, gros-grains that ‘*would stand alone’’ on the strength of their richness, velvet brocades in rich floral atterns that rival nature in beauty of color- ngs, new evening surahs, satin duchesse ina dozen dainty tones; dress goods, including all that is rare and costly as well as raiment for ‘‘everyday folk.’’ In gloves, ribbons, laces, lingerie, pretty hair ornaments, bangles, trim- mings of all sorts and descriptions; in fact, in ali those little details that play so importanta part in the toilet, the display was the most perfect and charming in effect. The wrap and millinery pariors were thronged all day, for in each was to be seen all that is new, beautiful and artistic, the dainty lace and fancy straw smal! bonnets seeming to share and share alike in enthusiastic praise with the big flaring hats decked in nodding plumes and great bunches of fancy-edged ribbons. Mr. Crawford is to be congratulated. His opening has fully verified all the anticipations in the world of dry goods. WATCH YOUR LICENSE PLATE, A New Style of Stealing Which Is Becoming Quite a Nuisance. For some time past the theft of wagon-license plates has become a regular trade. Lately the Fourth District police have been instructed to look out for the enterprising chevaliers. As tee pilates are missed by the owners ep they ort to the Chief of Police. The num- bers are given out at the stations, and each officer has alist ofthem. About 100 have been stojén altogether. A one-horse wagon license Pp te costs $3, and a two-horse one $10. Schnaider Brewing Company, 2000 avenue, have lost several plates 1e Jos. Jhouteau ately. Yesterday Ofticer Bray of the Fourth District, who has kept a close watch, found one of the missing numbers on a wagon and arrested the owner. The plates are taken from wagons and sold for asmall sum or used by the parties who steal them. Any person buying or using them, of course, knows he did not come by them in the reguiar manner. Some Plain Facts. We want to tell the people of St. Louis a fact that we do not think they are all cognizant of, and it is this, that St. Louls has one of the largest, if not the largest retail china and lass stores in the country. Few persons n St. Louis know what an immense business ‘‘DEAR ONE—You see I still love you or I would not be here. At moments have a burning passion devouring all reason. I sit and wonder why fate should compel me to love you and not have the affection returned. You have made me suffer and you also shall suffer. Aneye foraneye. While your pain will not be as mine it shall bring to your mind he who suffered through you. Man may condemn me for the action I propose taking, but God will sanctionnt. ‘‘New York, March 28, 1887.’’ JAY J. BRADY of the Union Square Theater visited a number of the district messenger offices and ascer- tained that about 10 o’clock last night a sbort stout man with small mustache left a basket of fruit at the district office on Broadway near l4th street, with instructions that it be sent to Miss Herndon. Dr. Seziere, who visited Miss Herndon atthe hotel, expressed the opinion that the poison in the fruit was strichnine. Two bananas, which contained a quantity of poison, have been preserved for analysis. —_>—————~ BADLY STAGE-STRUOUCK, A Young Man Creates a Sensationin Sol Smith Russell’s Company. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New York, March 31.—In the third act of Sol Smith Russell’s new comedy, ‘‘Pa,’’ which is now running at the Park Theater tn Brooklyn, Mr. Frank Lawton, who takes the part of A. Spartacus Hubbs, a musical mono- maniac, gives a clever exhibition of dancing. Last evening while Mr, Lawton was inthe middle of his performance he was suddenly and unexpectedly interrupted by the appear- ance upon the stage of a young man whose name was not on the programme and whose stage costume was, to say the least, unique. The intruder made his stage entrance by the way of the right hand proscenium box,leaping from there upon thestage. He was in his shirt sleeves, and as soon as he had landed near the astonished actor he immediately proceeded to give a very good imitation of his dancing. There were on the stage atthe time, besides Mr. Lawton, Mr. Russeil and Miss Virginia Nelson, Miss Emily Baucker, and Miss Emma Hagger, who take the partof Pa’s three daughters. The stranger danced a sailors’ hornpipe so well that most of the audience thought he was a member of the company. This delusion was heightened by the admirable man- ner in which the company behaved, not one of them showed the slightest nervousness. The ile stranger was per- mitted to finish his dance and then Mr. Rus- We Make the Best and Largest MILK BREAD Made in St. Louis. & This Label on Every Loaf. mee BENT—On Wednesday eyening, 30th tnst., after a brief iliness, with pneumonia, WILLIAM FE.

This morning Police Photographer Henry Newbold visited the jail with his instrument and took a picture of Dan Jewell), the negro murderer, who isto be executed on the 15th of nextmonth. Jewellsat very camly while the camera was being pointed at himand a very good likeness of him was obtained. He has about entirely recovered from his late spell of pneumonia, and now walks about the jail court smoking cigars and apparently as strong as ever. The likeness of him was taken this morning by special appointment, and when Mr. Newbold arrived he found Jewell rigged out in his best clothes and looking very neat and clean. He was desirous of having the photographs taken and will send a half dozen of them to his friends and relatives. While in jail the photographer turned his in- strument toward some of the female inmates, who were watching with considerable curi- osity the photographing of their fellow prisoner. When the instrument was pointed at them, however, they thougbt they were to be taken in a group, and _ yelling out: ‘‘No you don’t,’’ scampered off to their cells as fast as they could run. Jewell laughed very heartily, and seemed to bein the best of humor. He expresses himself ready to meet his fate, and thinks he will be able to face death gamely when the time comes. He has his prayer book with kim almost constantly, and appears to take great consolation out of it. Dr. J. H.

By that time it is 10:30, and before mridnigit he retires to his bed-room., where he often les awake reading for hours and hours. As it is impossible for any one occupy- such a position in the world to escape \ entirely, even for a short time, from the cares 0 ublie life, office-seekers, peti- tioners, visitors of all sorts constantly ar- riving at Varzin, the Chancellor resorts to ruses of all sorts to avoid them. His wife ally intervenes to rid him of these | itors. One day a foreign Ambassador ed Bismarck at the close of a long conversation how he managed to get rid ‘of people who bored him. ‘‘Very easily,’’ ‘wasthe answer. ‘‘When my wife thinks ithat any one has been with me too \ ton she sends some one to ask e come to her, and of course the isitor must go.’’ At that moment the ervant opened the door and said that the incess requested the Prince to come to erat once. When his duties do not com- pel his presence in Berlin, the Chancellor divides his time between Varzin and edrichsruhe. The mansion of this atter estate is furnished very simply: ail he walls and ceilings are whitewashed, e furniture is scanty and uncomforta- le, and the only ornaments are portraits f Thiers, Beaconsfield and Cardinal Ohenlohe, alarge bronze bust of Von oltke, a bronze statue of the great Hlector, presented to the Chancellor by the Hempence’ a plaster cast of an equestrian statue of Charlemagne, a large portrait of e Emperor William, afew family por- ‘traits and some landscapes representing ‘yiews from various portions of the estate. ‘The only art for which the Chancellor has any fondness is music, not that he is mu- na himself, but beeause it gives him great pleasure to listen to fine singing and ~~ playing.“ Art is gay and Life is serious,” is a sentiment he wrote at the bottom of the photograph of himself and Mme. Lucca that caused so much scandal in Berlin a few years ago. In #pite of that photograph, all who are in a position to know declare that the private life of Prince Bismarck is irre- proachable. His love for his wife and children is very deep and is warmly re- turned. the family being in every respect a model of domestic union and. affection. So fond is he of his home life that he never accepts any invitations except those of the Emperor, and never goes to the the- ater, to balls, banquets or other enter- tainments. He is, however, fond of enter- taining.and the great chambers at Varzin and Friedrichruhe are always occu- pied when he is at those estates. Once a ear be gives a formal entertainment to he whole male portion of the Diplomatic Corps, and also gives frequent parliamen- tary dinners during the sessions of the Reichstag. The Chancellor is an ivter- esting talker, and has at his command an ' inexhanstible stock of anecdotes, which are always well told. His irritability ’ makes him a hard man to get along with, especially for his subordinates. M. Busch relates that he, one evening in 1877, heard Bismarck complain very bitteriy of his lot in life. His career, he said, had given very little satisfaction to himself sonally, and won him very few friends: e had not added to the happiness of him- self, of his family or of any one. One of those who heard him say this suggested that he had made a great nation very happy. ‘‘Yes,’’ he replied, ‘‘but how ‘many other nations have I rendered un- happy? But for me three great wars would never have taken place, 80,000 men would not have been killed in battle, fathers, mothers. brothers, sisters and wi¥es would not have been plunged into misery. Ihave settled all that with my “ccapenneee and with my Creator, but I have rea very little, ifany, happiness from all that I have done; the only things it has yielded me are various anxieties and griefs.’’ ‘ 7 a year.

By Telegraph from Jones. McCormick & Kennett *hicago, to the PostT-DIsSPATCH. CHICAGO, March 31, 1p.m.—Wheat opened steady this morning, notwithstanding a de- cided pressure to sell at about S82lec for May. Offerings were quietly picked up from the start, first by scalpers and later by commis- sion houses, and while ayvreat deal was sold on limited orders, both at 83c to 83e, the market had a bailed-out ap- pearance all the time and kept shorts in a highly nervous, state. The actions of some of the clique houses have attracted much attention to-duy, especially Field, Lindley & Co., who were liberal sellers yesterday and also early to-day, while on the advance they were among the largest buy- ers. Kershaw continues to buy ateadily, whjle Walker & Rosenfeld not seem to be. doing much. There is a noticeably large tradein June wheat to- day. Scalpers are trading in that optiona great deal,and we suggest that month to those who believe in higher prices. The close is firm, but while the present manipulation goes on it is impossible to say what the clique’s next move will be. Corn got a good deal of impetus from the ad- vance in wheat. The volume of trade was fairly good. The sentiment of scalpers still appears bullish, and any noticeable short buving causes strength. It closes steady. Provisions were dull and featureless.

Wheat — ‘‘ Manipulated May’’ in Chicago took the market and ran away with it this morning, arapid advance there overcoming all the depressing influences that were on band. The cables were not at all encour- aging, for though the opening Liverpool was steady or firm, later it came in dull and easier, and all the private cables were dull. Nor were there any apprehensions felt revarding the winter wheatcrop, as the groundin the West, and the Northwest, too, was eovered with snow, though drouth in California was atili harped upon by. the bulls. The St. Louis traders were bearish and weak énongh and started in their own market gee lower, but the Chicago buige speedily stopped the early selling and offerings became very smail. The demand was light, but enough to raise prices, May selling tec higher, as of that month there was steady buying and not very much for sale. The close, too, was only Ye below the top, while other months were then the same as yesterday. Spot No. 2 red was better in price, aiong with May, but only a light milling demand, and the few sales were at s0cin U. and s0lec this side. Corn was improved in value by the advance in wheat, but not in speculation, as trading was again small. Spot grades were steady and firm but quiet, except a 5,000 lot. reg- ular No: 2 at 35u%c taken by a short, only a few care changing hands and bought by the usual class of buyers.

Intensity of Feeling Over the Election on the Amendment at Detroit. DETROIT, Mich., March 31.—The intensity of feeling over the proposed prohibition amend- ment has no parallel in the history of political campaigns in this State. Conservative men of ‘both sides are fearing serious trouble on elec- tion day in Detroit. The feeling against the ‘Prohibitionists in the eastern part of ths ‘city, particularly in the Fifth, Seventh, Ninth, Eleventh, Fourteenth and _ Fit- teenth Wards, is intense, The interest in State and county litics shrinks out of aN compared with the absorbing importance of the question of whether the people shall have beer or not. An Eleventh Ward Alder- - man said that not one Prohibition vote would be cast in his precinct, because no Pronibi- ‘tionists would dare to vote there. He added: ‘*‘Iam speaking the truth when I say it would not be safe for a man to vote for a Prohibition- ist in my part of town; that is, of course, if it is found out.’’ ) There will probably be 5,000 anti-Probi- _ bition workers at the polls. A partof yester- day was taken - by County Clerk Lane and - -#he County Auditor in considering the ques- - ~tlon of providing extra ballot-boxes for the - gmendment for the polling precincts in the ‘townships of the ooanty: They concluded that the matter was One which belonged to town- ; any authorities to observe. The opinion of City Counsellor Duffield that the law would ‘mot be observed in providing only one box for the reception of the several amendments to be voted for applies to the + townships as well asto the city and the whole . §State. Mr. Duffield says that under the reso- - Jution submitting the amendment, the law would not be observed in cases where the bal- ~~ Jotsforand against the amendments were all laced in the same box; that it would not bea egal vote, andthatthe State Boara might rs- fuse to canvass the votes of districts in ' ‘which the extra rovision owas not observed. The Prohibition teaders§ had not considered tho point of legality before. Now itis causing them alarm for the . yeason that the very heaviest vote is expected |. tocome from the rural districts and they have * feeely time to provide forthe exigency. The ' Board of Aldermen have granted the Pro- * _ hibitionists additional ballot-boxes in Detroit. ere is nothing, however, to prevent the ti-Prohibitionists from throwing a negative : ot. in each box, as the inspector bas no business to open a votor’s ballot before de- positing it. The non-liquor party is very much alarmed at the outlook. ‘ P BR k 4 . “ - . > > - ; i % - a ‘ : . ’ “s her we vee ee ge it a?

TO QUASH AN INDICTMENT RE- | VIVE AN OLD NEW YORK SENSATION. Lawyer John B. Hart’s Motion Before Re- corder Smyth Threatening Shameful Exposure for a Millionaire of San Fran- cisco—The Operations of a Once Famous Band of New York Forgers—Arson and Murder Added to Forgery—Who Is ‘*Kissane?”’ By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New York, March 31.—Argument will be heard to-morrow forenoon before Recorder Smyth in Part? of the Court of General Ses- sions on the application of Lawyer John B. Hart of San Francisco to quash the thirty- three-year-old indictment for forgery hanging over the head of the once noted criminal named William Kissane. The WORLD of yes- terday contained an epitome of the remarka- ble career of Kissane, who is now said to bea millionaire railway director of San Francisco, and to ocenpy a prominent business position at the Golden Gate. The strangest feature of the whole case is the fact that Kissane’s identity might have continued unknown for an indefinite period to the people of San Francisco, except for his anxiety to get this old indictment out of tho way. The presentment of the Grand-jury, made on November 14, 1854, to which Kissane’s counsel desires to enter a nolle proseq ui, it*is said, has practically been dead for vears. It was generally believed that when Kissane was sent to Sing Sing, in March, 1855, his sentence oftwo and a half years covered the two in- dictments against him. But Kissane is re- ported to have been threatened with expos- ure by an old playfellow whose family he wronged, The former had lived for twenty- five years on the Pacific Slope underan as- sumed name and might have continued todo so perhaps HAD HE REPAIRED HIS WRONG. ‘*When all the facts about Kissane come out, as now seem probable, the papers will have a genuine sensation,’’ said President George G. Williams of the Commercial National Bank to the Post- DISPATCH orrespondent yesterday. ‘*His history is one of the most remarkable I have ever heard of. Once the companion of the most noted criminals of this city, and guilty of numerous crimes himself, he is at present living in luxury and ease at San Fran- cisco. The bank will oppose the motion of his counsel to have this old indictment against him dropped. Itis pretended that he has made good allthe money he unlawfully obtained trom the bank, but that is nottrue, and is the very reason why the case will not be dropped. Some months ago Kissane opened communi- cation with us on the subject and tried to have us withdraw our opposition. Until that time we had no idea of what had become of him. Now we shall ineist on the return of the money dueus. Kissane’s forgeries created tremen- dous furor in New York. His trial made more of ascnsation for those days than even the ‘boodle’ aldermen trials now. There is no reason why the bank should lose anything through him, since he has been so prosper- ous.’’ KISSANE’S BAD BREAK. Said Book-keeper Parsons, who has been connected with the Chemical Bank for years: ‘*We recovered $10,500 of the $14,870 that Kis- Sane got from the bank. The balance of $4,000 with compound interest, which we c!aim, now amounts to about $25,000. He was very fool- ish not to settle with the bank for then he might have avoided an exposure. But he was given an opportunity to make good the loss, but refused. Proper steps will be taken to recover the amount. Kissane’s record is a very badone. He was mixed up in the affair ofthe burning of the steamer Martna Wash- ington in 1353. She was alarge Missiasippi River boat which Lyman Cole, who was known to all the old detectives of this city, and Kissane got possession ofin some way. At Cincinnati they loaded her up with bricks,. chips and worthless stuff in boxes and barrels and got the cargo insured for a large amount, pre- tending it was merchandize. At Helena, Ark., the boat was set on fire. Although twenty lives were lost the Washington was not en- tirely destroyed, so that the scheme was dis- covered. Kissane and Cole were on trial for conspiracy against the insurance companies, some of the best lawyers of the country being engaged in the case. : **THEY ESCAPED ON A TECHNICALITY, and then the Arkansas authorities tried to get came to this city and brought letters from a very prominent business man here to the and another tor $6,018.50 on the Continental! Bank, witha long list of hogs he had pur- chased. He had been connected with the pork-packing business and excited no suspi- cion. It was just before 3 o’clock and luckily i paid all but $870 of his check for $14,870, in $500 bills. The forgeries were soon discovered, and the bank paid a large amount of monev to hunt down Cole, Kissane and Bishop who were inthe plot. When Cole was caught $4,000 was found sewed into his yest. Kissane was captured in Cincinnati, buton the way back nee from a car window and escaped at uffalo. Going into the country about fifteen miles, he hired outas a farm bafid. He gave soine of the $500 bills to his employer to nego- tiate. This led to his capture. There were $6,500 in- bills found ina magnesia bottle, and this and the $4,000 that Cole had was all the bank got back, Weare aware of the name by which Kissane is known in San Francisco.’’ HOW THE EXPOSURE CAME ABOUT. Chief Clerk Sparks of the Court of General Sessions added these last chapters of Kissane’s history: ‘‘Last fall Gen. Francis Dorr wrote and asked me to send himarecord of Kis- sane’s crime and trial.- Idid ashe requested and the General informed me how he came to discover the identity of Kissane. He said they were brought up together in a Little Ohio town near Cincinnati. The families of botk had oil and candle factories and a Sharp rivalry existed between them. One night the Dorr tactory was leveled to the ground fire, and as there was only a small iusurance on it the family was ruined. Kis- sane, then a young man just approaching manhood, was suspected of having started the fire, for he was seen in that vicinity on the night in question. He left his home and com- menced his career of crime. Dorr went to West Point, was graduated and was general in the Federal army. Later he came to New York and was enguged in the oil business. A year or more ago he received flattering offers to go to California to act us chief en- yineer of a railway there, and he accepted. n this position it became necessary for Gen. Dorr to confer frequently with the directors of the company. On one occasion the General was struck by the likeness of one of the directors seated oppo- site him at the table to Kissane, whom he had not seen in years, Meeting him on the street one day, the General went up to him and Suid: Bod “HOW ARE YOU, BILL KISSANE?’ ‘The director was very indignant at what he termed the insolence of tiie en rineer, but the latter gave him to understand that he knew who he was, and after that the accused man Shunned him at every opportunity. Gen, Dorr also charged that while Kissane was liv. ing in Missouri, the latter quarrelied with a man whose dead body was found in St. Louis and Kissane disappeared at the same time, Kissane is said to have married in California twenty years ago, and has six children. It was a reckless thing for Kissane to send a law- yer here to rake up that old indictment. for all the facts are bound to come out now, and I don’t see how an exposure can be avoided.’’ Jones & Roosevelt of 17 Nassau street the counsel for the Chemical National Bank will contest the motion now pending before Recorder Smyth and interesting developments are promised. The bank officers for the pres- ent refuse to divulge the alias under which Kissane is living in San Francisco. The Sensation in ’Frisco, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn.

Buckley and Dolan Defeated by Dunn and Smith—Sullivan’s First Appearance Since His Accident — Boston’s Big Athletic Club—Sporting and Base Ball Matters. Catcher Buckley of the Syracuse Stars, at present stopping in the city, is quite fond of hand-ball, and, like Capt. Comiskey, thinks the game is one of the best modes of training for base ball work. Since his arrival he has been looking for a match, and he was accom- modated to his heart’s content yesterday. The team paid a visit to the Missouri Gymna- sium yesterday, and while there the subject of hand-hall was discussed: The ‘*Gym’’ play- srs were anxious to see Buckley play, and aiter some discussion A MATCH OF FIVE GAMES was arranged and playedimmediately. The ball players were represented by Buckley and Tom Dolan, the veteran catcher, and Dr. T. Hardy Smith and Jolin, A. Dunn represented the Gymnasium, The gallery was filled with admirers of the game, who applauded the skill of the players vociferously. Buckley plays in a_ good- humored way, never losing his patience, and makes himself a great favorite with every one. Besides this he plays as well with his left hand as with theright. In short playing he proved himself an expert, us good if not better than any of the rest of the players. The match was best three out of five. In the first game the rule was ‘‘liigh bucking,’’ and the contest was won by Dr. Smith and Dunn. The score was 21 to 17. In the second game the rule was changed to ‘*serve as you will’’ with Dr. Smith in the left hand corner. Inthis game the visitor was well warmed up and played well with the able assistance of his partner. The pair defeated their opponents by a score of 21 to7. The third game was a hot one. Each ace was fought hard forand splendid sport was furnished the gallery. The score showed 21 to 20 and the game was barely won by Dunn and Dr. Smith. In the fourth game the ball players did some fine work and made every endeavor to DEFEAT THEIR ANTAGONISTS, but the excellent and scientific playing of the Gymnasium team proved too much for them, and they succeeded in securing only nine points. In the fifth game, however, Dolan and Buckley had their revenge. They secured thirteen points and won the game by a score of 13 to 9. The series of the games was thus won by the Gymnasium team. They won three out of the tive, although they made a smaller number of points, 79, while the ball players’ score ag- yregated not less than 83. his was due to the small scores made by Mr. Dunn and Dr. Smith in the games they lost. BOSTON’S BIG CLUB. An Athletic Institution High-Priced and Very Exclusive. That before the end of this year this city will have the greatest athletic’ institution in the world is now a settled fact, says the Boston Herald. The prompt action of the committee of arrangements in calling aspecial meeting last Thursday, at which time the required 800 names were enrolled, is evidence that not an hour will be wasted im. unnecessary de- lay. There has been some slight op- position to the proposed site on Dartmonth street, to which the com- mittee will give their immediate considera- tion. The majority of the committee are of the opinion that a moré suitable site cannot be found than the one mentioned, but it is their desire to listen to any proposition or ob- jection emanating from any of the members. Other sites ‘which have been offered the new club will be looked at again, and a report made at another special meeting to -be called this week. The initiation fee of $40 and the yearly dues of $30 are extremely small sums for the many advantages offered by the pew club. A great many gentlemen, with a ‘ ‘weak- ‘ess’ for general sports, bave hesitated about sending in their applications for membership, yaboring under the belief that the club was to 28 organized especially for professional ath- totes. The fact is that it is just to the opposite, fand, while it is possible that a few gentie- ‘men have become professionals in some ‘Particular branch of athletics, the committee | wish it distinetly understood that the club is intended principally for gentlemen of this ci a taste for athletics.

A Chicago paper is lamenting the fact that the Whitestockings are not receiving the moral support they should from home enthusiasts. The fact that the Chicagos played a game with the Des Moines team Monday, and only beat them by three tallies after ten innings were played, it says, is taken up by the small army of local croakers, and quoted as evidence that the champions are notas strong as they were last season. Because the men did not defeat the lively plavers from Iowa9to 0 they are set down as weak and only a fair amateur team. It is argued that if they can only beat a team from Des Moines three points, what will thev do when they meet the Detroits? This is childish and betrays the everlasting croaker. Unless the Chicagos get the lead and keep it year after year, thereisa crowd of so-called sports who cry down the home club. Thev forget that the Philadelphia club has not seen the champion pennant on its flagstaff, and yetthe clubis held up and sus- tained year after year. They forget that the Boston club has not been the champion team for a long time, and yet is able and willing to pay thousands of dollars for players from Chicago. The Chicago club need not win the pennant this year, and yet it may be an excellent ciub and produce champions for next season. It is not necessary to bé swinish to be a base ball enthusiast. Chicago had enough of this croaking a few years ago, and it is about time that the local team was encouraged and w gare at home, and not dis- couraged by woful prognostication of certain defeat. Capt. Anson has his men in splendid form and full of enthusiasm. It would be too bad to meet them with cruakings when they come home next month. The Gentlemen’s Driving Club. A meeting of the board of directors of the Gentlemen’s Driving Club will be held at the rooms ofthe Stoddard Club, corner of Easton and Garrison avenues, at 8 o’clock this even- ing. The proposed new half-mile track at Forest Park has been surveyed and laid out, and will be placed in the hands of the con- tractors by Col. Flad in a few days. In the meantime Secretary Lew Clarke has issued a circular to the members of _ the club requesting them to send in their annual dues, $10 each, as the club for some time to come will have use for all the money itcan get. The secretary so far has no reason to complain of the manner in which the cireu- lar has been responded to, but there are a great many more members that he would like to bearfrom. The secretary’s office is located at 1016 Garrison avenue. Weather permit- ting, the first regular matinee of the club will be given onthe first Saturdayin May. The new track, it is expectec, will be ready for use before that time. —_ SULLIVAN SPARS. His First Appearance Since the Accident to His Arm. In describing the appearance of Champion Jobn L.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 31.—A fight toa finish under the new London prize ring rules took place last night between Joe Stevens and Wiley Evans, well-known colored pugilists. Two-ounce gloves were used and thirteen rounds were fought. The fight was opened cautiously by both men and went on slowly until the seventh round, when Evans landed a terrific biow on Stevens’ mouth, cutting his lip fully half aninch. From the eighth to the eleventh round the bruisers came out even, but it was — seen Stevens was becoming winded. In the twelfth round Evans ianded a blow on Stevens’ neck and simultaneously Stevens closed Evans’ right eye. The blow staggered Stevens, who, under the rules, had to get to his corner alone. He crawled on his hands and knees, but fainted in his corner. Evans was also acngpened. and when time was Called just man- ag to respond.
