Broiling can be done in the oven of the Charter Oak Range or Stove with the Wire Gauze Oven Door, more perfectly than over the live coals. Lay the steak, chops, ham or fish on a wire broiler or meat rack, placing it in an ordinary bake pan to catch the drippings. Allow it to remain in the oven with the door closed 15 or 20 minutes. No turnin is required. At the end of this time it wi 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 méats 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 or Stove with the Wire Gauze Oven Door should be erred gend For ILLUSTRATED CracuLARS AND Paice Lists, to all others now in the market.

Special Cablegram to the Fost-Dispatch. LONDON, April 1.—A friend in private life, who had interviews yesterday with Gladstone and Parnell, has placed me in possession of direct information upon their feelings and in- tentions with regard to the present situation. Both leaders express astrong conviction that the coercion bill will not become a law. „It will not pass, said Parnell. „It shall not pass, said Gladstone. The latter added: Iwill take any steps that may be necessary to prevent it.“ But they say that the Speaker is prepared to suspend even you, Mr. Gladstone,’’ said my friend. ‘‘They will suspend me, will they?’’ said Mr. Gladstone, with one of his customary gestures. ‘‘Then I tell you, it would not stop there.“ Ina further conversation Mr. Glad- stone expressed even greater indignation and astonishment at the contents of the bill than he had already expressed in the House. PARNELL WAS COOLER, but no less confident. His belief is that in the face of the absolute and exhaustive opposition which will be offered by the solid phalanx of Liberal, Radical and Irish members to every line, and, if necessary, to almost every word of the bill when it reaches thé committee stage, the Government will find it practically impossible, though their majority is theoret- ically amply sufficjent, to carry the measure without such®vital modifications as will render the introduction of it at all only discredit- able to them. It is of the greatest interest, of course, to know that these san- guine views are held by the two men most en- titled to speak. But Imust add that less in- formed persons fail to see what is to prevent the success of the Government if they stick to their guns. A prominent member of the Cab- inet said to me last night that of course they fully expected a great and sudden increase of crime, both of the agrarian and of the more serious sort, An angry, but unimportant squabble took place in the Com- mons last night. The only points of the de- bate worth mentioning were Labouchere’s de- fense of boycotting on scriptural grounds by means of the text, ‘‘For the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans,’’ which plunged the House into ROARS OF LAUGHTER fur two minutes, and his suggestion that in- stead of bringing Irish prisoners to an En- glish jury it would be much simpler and less expensive to send an English jury over to Dublin. The Primrose League, headed by Salisbury, he added, with perfect accuracy, was the most gigantic boycotting association ever known, Fromthe conversation quoted above, I am convinced again that the prophecy i ventured to make last December that Salisbury would find him- self compelled to dissolve Parliament about Easter, will prove to have been not far from the mark. O'BRIEN ONTHE LAND BILL. By telegraph I have just received from Dublin the following report of conversations held this morning with William O’Brien and Michael Davitt on the Government land bill. These contain, as will be seen, Vigorous expressions of opinion of the highest political interest. Mr. O’Brien began by saying: ‘‘Pray understand, I only speak asafree lance. Anything I say is subject to the maturest consideration. Parnell and the Irish party, who alone have the authority to define the National policy on such a matter, are all right now. As forthe land bill, it is not a dil that is meant to pass. It is a show bill, a sbam bill. mock were a landlord I should regard the land bill with far greater terror than the tenants regard the coercion bill. But it was never meant to pass. It is only asop to the Lirminghsm Cerberus, a salve to the uneasy consciences of the Coer- cionists.’’ „What would it do if by any possibility it were placed in the statue book?’’ It would lead to the suspension of pay- ment of all rent in Ireland, fending the de- cision of the new tribunal on the claims of in- solvent tenants.’’ „How will the new plan work?’’ In this way every tenant in Ireland unable to pay his full rent will refuse to pay any rent at all. For rent is the first condition of relief in this remarkable bill. Then his case will go before aCounty Court judge, who will have to define whether or not the tenant is entitled to a reduction. „ How many county court judges will there de m Ireland?“ About twenty. a How many tenants are likely to appear be- fore them for a reduction?“ : ‘*Roughly estimating, about 300,000. There are 150,000 leaseholders who will pour into the land court, mow for the first time open to them. There are about 100,000 tenants whose rents have been recently fixed at reductions corresponding with the fall in prices. There will remain about 800,000 tenants who will re- fuse to pay any rent. not fromany desire to create trouble or evade the payment of their business, It will take years to get through them. DAVITT’S GLEE. Mr. Davitt was also in high glee about tne bill. Hesaid: ‘‘The admission of lease hoid- ers to the land courts and the check, small as it is, put upon the landlords’ power of evic- tion, are concessions wrung from the House of British landlords to the principles of the league. They demolish whatever is left of the reverence in the English mind for the sacred rights of the landlords’ property and the sanctity of contract regard for the laissez-faire law of political economy. I hall the measure as one sure to make confusion worse than confounded upon the Irish land question. Therefore it is calcu- lated to bring us near to the only possible final solution of the great problem, namely, Irish state ownership ofthe soil. Finally, Iam convinced, said Mr. Davitt, that Cadogan’s speech about the seeming generosity of this bill towards certain classes is simply intended to placate public opinion, while coercion is being pushed through the Commons.’’ England. THE IRISH LAND BILL. LONDON, April 1.—In the House of Lords last night Earl Cadogan, Tory, presented an Irish land purchase bill providing for the abolition of the system of, dual ownership created by the actof 1881. Leaseholders are tobe ad- mitted tothe benefits of the act of 1881. A landlord by the Dill must serve the tenant with notice of eject- ment, and on receiving this notice the tenant shall become caretaker of his hold- ing for six months and the redemption shall runas from that date. The bill passed its first reading. LABOUCHERE’S SPEECH. Labouchere made arattling speechin the British Commons last night in which he ex- coriated the supporters ofcoercion. A sug- gestion by Smith, government leader, that the cloture be applied to-day raised an uproar which scared Smith into an explanation that he had no such idea. PARNELL’S AMENDMENT. The Standard says: ‘‘Mr. Parnell will move his amendment to the Irish crimes act amend- ment bill in the House of Commons to-night, and Mr. Morley and other leadersof the op- position will speak in support of it. It is rumored that Mr. Gladstone himself will move to adjourn the debate, so as thus to secure the right to speak first on its resumption; anda it is said that if the Government attempts to enforce cloture, the opposition will move an adjourn- ment until Monday and then initiate a débate on the Government’s action. The Parnellites regard Lord Cadogan’s land bill with as much disfavor as they do Mr. Balfour’s coercion bill and consider that the eviction clauses in the former would operate entirely to the dis- advantage of the tenants.’’ THE THUNDERER’S ADVICE. The Times, referring to the rumor thatin certain contingencies into-night’s debate, Mr. Gladstone will move the adjournment of the House, said: The majority would be well- advised in letting Mr. Gladstone have his say, should he persevere inthis extraordinary de- sign, and adjourning, if absolutely necessary, until Saturday instead of Monday.’’ THE WHIPS BUSY. The whips of both partfes in the House of Commons are doing their utmost to secure full attendance at to-night’s session. It is not known positively whether Mr. Parnell will move the amendment of which be has given notice. The Gladstone Liberals will meet the Government’s motion for a second reading of the Irish crimes act amendment bill with a hostile amendment. The form which this shall take has not yet been decided upon. GROSS INCONSISTENCY. The News says: The land bill introduced by Lord Cadogan in the House of Lords yes- terday evening convicts the Ministry of the grossest inconsistency and entirely justifies Mr. Parnell’s action during !ast autumn’s session of Parliament. The first thing that strikes the reader of Lord Cadogan’s speech is that, inadequate as the bill may be, it entirely dispenses with the necessity for coercion, or rather it would if the necessity existed. Mr. Balfour argues that an illegal combination prevents tenants in Ireland from paying their rents. Lord Cadogan formally admits that tenants are evicted for not paying impossible rents.“ Russia. THE ATTEMPT ON THE CZAR’S LIFE. BERLIN, April 1.—Advices received from St. Petersburg fully confirm the report that an- other attempt has been made upon the life of the Czsr. It is learned that on Tuesday, while the Czar was exercising in the park connected with the Gatschina palace, he was fired upon by an officer of the army, the ball passing close to his person. The officer was immedi- ately seized by attendants and imprisoned. Bulgaria. SHOT THE PREFECT OF RUSTCHUK. BUCHAREST, April 1.—Three Bulgarian refu- gees, one of whom is a brother of a man under condemnation for participation in the late in- surrection, yesterday attacked the Prefect of Rustchuk, whom they met in one of the streets of this city. They fired at him with revolvers, wounding him, and then fed. Two of them were overtaken and imprisoned, but the other escaped by taking refuge in the Russian Legation. Denmark.

He came he from St. Johus afew days ago. He was in mately acquainted with the Eagle and he. commander, Jackman. He cannot unde stand the reports about the condition o the steamer’s boilers. He says ash was fitted with new boilers this winter. The Eagle was 343 tons register and was built at Dundee in 1870 especially for the seal and whale fisheries. The refitting this winter cost 925.000. Capt. Barry witnessed her trial trir in St. Johns Harbor onthe 2dinst. She then carried ninety pounds of steam pressure, anc the ordinary pressure on a cruise would b. seventy pounds. She sailed on her las“ voyage from St. Johns on the mornin; of the 10th inst., and headed north, doubties: oining the rest of the fleet that day. he fleet invariably keep together, and generally find the tirst signs of seal in Bona- vista Bay. It rarely happens that one of the fleet is not seen or reported for an interva, longer than three days. Sailors who reached St. Johns by the last mail-boat told Capt. Barry of the fearful sea that swept along the north coast on the night of the llth. Funk’s Island is the most songs and dreaded spot on the Newfoundland coast. It is aba rock about two miles in area rising up out of the water about sixty feet. It is entire ly unapproachable, the sea for miles around it being constantly beaten into the wildest fury upon sunken rocks. Capt. Barry believes there were fully 300 men on th 0. able-bodied man wanted to go tothe - fisheries this year, for this was their hope after the great distress of the winter. — — — AGAINST COERCION, Resolutions Offered in the New York Senate and Temporarily Tabled.

LAWYER HART’S STORY. „Then, said this attorney, who is Mr. J. „Hart of San Francisco, last evening. 1 nould not have known him but for certain sircumstances, and even to-day I couldn't nuke my oath that he is the same Bill Kissane, ‘who, in 1849 was a clerk in Lott Pugh’s great pork-packing establishment in Cincinnati.’’ ‘*Without betraying your professional trust, Mr. Hart, can you not give me a more complete outiine of Mr. Kissane’s history, aside from what has been already published?’’ Mr. Hart belongs to tue typical class of ioneers, for it was in 1848 that he sold out his ore in Hamilton, O., and went to California. radually and by gentle suasion and timely dulgence the following facts were brought at: J suppose all must soon be known, any- w. he said. Ot course I must stop at the ame. I know nothing about these charges of rime, except such as 1 huve discovered b @arching the legal reports. Kissane, as mye intimated, was known to me in Cincinnati when I kept a store in Hamilton. The record shows that he was ac- cused of being an accomplice in the burning of the steamer Martha Washington on the Mis- sissippi River, together with Oummings, Duane and others. He was tried at Cincinnati, in the United States Court, before Judge Me- Lean, on an indictment for attempting to swindle insurance companies. The investiga- tion was very exhaustive and he was acquitted, Subsequently the judicial authorities of Hel- ena, Ark., near which place the conflagration occurred, obtained the custody of his boay and tried him for murder, one person having lost his life on the steamer. He was again acquitted. Ihavethe history of both cases. The first you can find in the fifth volume of McLean’s Reports. THE FORGERIES. In 1854 the forgeries were committed which eaused a loss of $18,000 to the Chemical Bank. In November he was indicted. You already know enough of that history. There ia no disposition to deny his guilt in connee- tion with those cases. @ will only say that he has outlived it. I went to California in 1849. In 18571 met Kissane out there under the name which he now bears. I subsequent- ly learned that his first venture in the State was the keeping of a store in Sacramento. Probably he made alittle Money at that, for afterwards he engaged in mining at Gold Hill, Nevada, with a partner, and together they achieved a great success. Inafewyears Kis- sane had amassed between $200,000 and $300,- 000. KISSANE’S PRESENT CHARACTER. Mr. Hart was reluctant to say much of a definite nature of Kissane’s present posses- ‘gions, but said that there was an exaggerated idea abroad regarding them. Twenty years ago he married a beautiful young lady, who was twenty years his junior. They have now either seven or eight children—the attorney was uncertain asto the exact number. The wife is about 45 years old. Sheis amiable and beneficent of disposition, and is much loved by allwho know her. Kissane bears bis 65 ears well,and is regarded by nearly all of is neighborsas aman ofthe very highest character. ‘*In what county does Kissane live?“ Sonoma. „Has he any office in San Francisco?“ % No.“ DORR AND THE BANK DENOUNCED... Mr. Hart denounced the motive of both the Chemical Bank officers and Gen. Dorr as *plackmail, and he says it was in order to head this off that he made the application to dis- miss the indictment. Dorr had written not only to the authorities here, but to those at Helena and Cincinnati as well, to induce them make application for the extradition of ane. ‘*i believe myself,’’ said Mr. Hart, **that Dorr expects to divide with the Chemi- cal Bank the proceeds of this claim should Kissane pay it.’ The attorney did not deny that his client would satisfy the demand of the Chemical Bank rather than have his present name and connections exposed. „If, however, he added, Dorr and these people insist upon I judicial phase of this matter, we shall begin criminal ac- tions against them at once for blackmail. It is for that contingent object that ex-Congressman Barclay Henly has been retained. hy, sir, the attorneys of the Ohemical Bank in San erenciogo, essrs. Sawyer and Burnett, wrote to Kissane threatening him with extradition to New York unless he paid their client the sum to whichitlaid claim. But for that we never should have called attention to the slumbering indictment.’’ BEFORE RECORDER SMYTHE. Recorder Smythe, in General Sessions, to- day heard ment on the motion by Conn- _selior J.

By Telegraph to the Posr-DisrA Tron: SPRINGFIELD, III., April 1.—A retaliation bill against the Chicago sewage bill was intro- duced by Brown of La Salle this morning. The Chicago sewage bill seeks to take the refuse from Chicago through the Desplaines River and Illinois & Michigan Canal. This is being bitterly fought by Joliet, Ottawa and other places and Brown’s bill prohibits any city from emptying sewage into any canal or stream of running water, and declares the offense when death results from a violation of the law as murder. Immediately thereaiter Mr. Littler moved to reconsider the vote by which the bill establishing dustrial institution for the Cook County was passed yesterday. A warm fight ensued, and as there were not a sufficient number of votes present to carry the motion, the Republicans broke the quorum by refusing to vote. The Speaker then promptly ruled that, a quorum not voting, the House had refused to reconsider, and at once a howl of disgust went up from the Republicaus. Despite all arguments and points of order the Speaker maintained his position and the House adjourned, which, under the joint resolution, adjourns then till next Wednesday evening, and the members will go home for the spring election. The Senate passed a bill requiring clerks of courts of record to permit the free examina- tion of these records, and Funk’s bill, pro- hibiting the intermarriage of first cousins or nearer relatives, and tabled the celebrated — wp store’’ bill, when an adjournment was en. RARE CHANCES. Fine Time-Keepers Offered at Astonishing Low Prices, Some men like showy gold-watches and some men are satisfied with silver cases, but they must have good time-keepers. It is the latter class that are receiving a benefit just now, and who have the opportunity of secur- ing the finest time-keepers in the world for less money than ever was known to secure the same quality of watches, As usual in the watch trade the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Company, at Fourth and Locust streets, who are always in the lead of enterprise are making the offer. They have devoted them- selves to the manufacture of the finest watches, and an instance is yet to be found in which a customer has failed to obtain entire satisfaction, and this, too, with thousands of their watches scattered over the couatry in everyday use. Their grades of watches can- not be — upon, and their prices are unequaled. Every watch is guaranteed, and for from $18 to $28 be secured which silver watches can are absolutely re- liable time-keepers, and are manu- factured in the best style. For $13 a solid coin-silver case, with standard movement, full plate, eleven jewels, patent pinion, quick train and chronometer balance, may be obtained. A Goodman King’’ move- ment, pure solid coin-silver hunting-case, may be obtained for $23,-and a full-jeweled Rail- road’’ movement, with elegant case and finest workmanship, may be bought for $28. These are on!y samples, but it is safe to say such opportunities were never offered before. THE STATE CAPITAL. New Corporations— Militia Officers Commis- sioned—Gen. Jamison’s Circular.

A JEWELRY HAUL Quickly Followed by the Arrest of the Thieves Who Did It. About 2:30 p. m. yesterday, while the family of William Smith, 2634 Howard street, were ab- sent from home, a brace of burglars entered the house and carried off jewelry, valua- bles and money to the amount of $30. The burglars were seen by the neighbors, and so close a description given that the police re- cognized them as two young crooks living at Twenty-fourth and O’ Fallon. Detec- tives Cummins and Kelley went out this morning and arrested them, and the stolen property Was recovered. One of them is Andrew Sutter,18 years ot age, and the other, Wm. alias Buck Nelson, 17 peers of age. Both are well known to the po- ice, having been taken in before.

WILLIAMS SITS DOWN OW THE HENDRICKS ASSOCIATION, The Present Registration Must Stand— Voters’ Certificates and Rejected Bal- lots Will Cut No Figure in the Coming Election — John UHaggerty’s Strange Story — Fighting Ed Devoy - Campaigz The revision of the registration by Recorder of Voters Williams continues to be the ques- tion ofthe hour in local politics and the most extravagant speculations are indulged in as to the probable effort in the coming election of the loss of the 4,000 votes stricken off by the Recorder. The Democrats, through the Hendricks’ Associa- tion, are making frantio endeavors to save at least a part of the large vote of which the re- vision threatens to deprive them, and as stated in yesterday’s Posr-DIS- PATCH, will prepare a list of the names ot the Democrats stricken off witha view to voting them at the coming election in the event tliat some authority can be obtained which will permit the judges to receive the ballots. . | Last night the Hendricks Association ap- pointed a committee consisting of Messrs. H. F. Harrington, David Caruth, Jas. Banner- man, Matt Ryan and Capt. McClellan, to wait On the Recorder and request him to issue certificates to persens who had been improper- ly stricken off the registration lists, stating that they were entitled to vote. Sub-commit- tees were appointed to canvass the different wards and obtain the names of persons who were disfranchised by the action of the Re- corder, and it is proposed to have these per- sons vote on election day. All of these preparations and precautions will, itis feared, be of no avail, and will have not the slightest effect upon Recorder Will- iams, whose friends construe such actions as an indirect reflection upon his course in office, and view them with no little discomfort. It is hardly probablethat Mr. Williams will adopt Mr. Hoblitzelle's plan of issuing certifi- cates, as the Hendricks Association wishes him to do. It will be remembered that the last election was rendered in a measure national on account of the elec- tion of United States Congressmen and certain restrictions under the State law did not apply to balloting under the United States law, hence the ‘‘rejected ballot envelopes’’ about which there was so much controversy during the Glover- Frank contest. From what Recorder Williams says the re- jected ballot’’ will cut very little igure in the coming election. In aconversation upon the subject this morn- ing with a Post-DIsPATCH reporter Mr. Will- jams said:‘‘Il have been worried a great deal by persons from whom I had expected assistance in the prosecution of my duties as Recorder. Yesterday I felt — 70 much discouraged, but to- day the contrary is the case, and I want to say that I intend to continue without swery- ing a hair’s-breadth from what I conceive to be thefline of my duty.“ „The Hendricks Association will ask you for certificates for persons whom they believe to have been improperly stricken off of the regis- tration lists.’’ ‘-Nobody has been illegally or improperly stricken off of the lists in this office, and so far us voting any man who is not registered the Hendricks Association will simply have its trouble for its pains.’’ „Then no votes will be taken on certifi- cates?’’ „If the judges receive and count the ballot of any person who is not registered and whose name is not on the registration lists, then they violate the law of the State, and render themselves liable to imprisonment in the Penitentiary. Every opportunity has been afforded to per- sons wishing to register; no names wers stricken off of the lists excepting in accord- dance with and by order of the resolution adopted by the Board of Registration Re- viewers, and there is not the slightest excuse for all of voters. Should the Recorder carry out the policy outlined in the above intervigw the Hen- dricks Association’s list of ‘‘improperly stricken off voters’’ might be framed and used as an ornament for tue club- room, but will hardly prove effective at the polls. A Fiat Denial. John Haggerty, the produce and commission merchant, who resides in the Fourth Ward, in a conversation with a POST- DISPATCH reporter, said: 1 tell you this registration revision is going to play the very dickens with the Demo- crats in the coming election. You have heard of the Hobbs’ scheme, haven’t you?’’ No; what is it?“ „Why, Billy Hobbs—’’ „„The Recorder of Deeds?’’ ‘‘The same. Well, Billy made up a list of several thousand names of Democrats which he claimed were falsely registered in the last campaign. He got the information while hunting up matter which to base his contest against Register D. O'Connell Tracy last fall. This list of names was sent tothe Recorder of Voters, and I understand that nearly every name on it was stricken off of the registration lists.“ When asked if there was any truth ein Mr. Haggerty’s story, Recorder of Voters Williams said: I have no time to answer such absurd falsehoods. There is not a word of truth in it so far as my connection with it is concerned.“ on The Jury Commissioner. The five Circuit judges and the Judge of the Criminal Court will meet in the judges’ con- sultatlon- room atthe Court-house to-morrow afternoon for the purpose of considering the appointment of a Jury Commissioner. The term of Commissioner Carlisle expires in June next. There are many aspirants for the position but from present indications Mr. Carlisle will be his own successor. The appointment will probably be announced at the session of the court in generalterm next Monday morning when the April term will commence. The Jury Commissioner is appointed for four years at $2,500 per annum. Fighting Ed Devoy. The friends of Councilman Ed Devoy, in the Twentieth Ward, are exceedingly wroth at what they term ‘‘the treachery’’ of other can- didates on the Democratic ticket. It is claimed, by such a prominent politician as Archie Graham, that a great deal of trading is being indulged in, par ticniarly by the friends of Wm. Stone to sacrifice Devoy in order to obtain votes for other candidates. Graham and his friends are very angry about it, and Graham was heard to say yesterday that if Devoy was not given à fair show some of the other Demo- cratic candidates would certainly have to go down with him. Nelson Cole Resides in the City. Since the nomination of the Republican ticket report have been current among poli- ticians that Mr. Nelson Cole, Republican can- didate for the short term in the Council, was not a resident of this city and not eli- gible to hold the office for which he is a candidate. Mr. Cole was seen by a Posr- DISPATC reporter this morning. He said: ‘‘My wife and family live in Leba- non, III., where my ehildren attend school. I live at 1834 Gratiot street, St. Louis, Mo. Iam a tax-payer, and would be willing to take oath that 1 am a voter in this city. „„King“ Cullinane Downed. Astormy meeting of the Republican City Central Committee was held yesterday after- noon.

Frank Brown: Young men who have not the berfefit of an education are always ready to do too much in polities, and getting into trouble in consequence.

Max Schaumberg started out two days ago by expressing adesire to see Paddy Breanan elected for the House in the Eighth Ward, and wound up last night by resigning the Repub- lican nomination. Nat Frank: The prettiest fightin the city will be between Louis Wittenberg and Pat Monahan inthe Second Ward. Theodds are slightly in favor of Monahan, but Wittenberg will give him a close call. E. Clifton, Chairman of the United Labor Party Campaign Committee, denies that Pat. rick Griftin has been indorsed by the Labor Party as a candidate for the House of Delegates in the Twenty-fourth Ward. Jack Sheehan: John Henry Pohlmann is talk ing loud and trying to frightem our boys in the Twenty-fourth Ward, but Patsey Griffin will be the next member of the House of Delegates from that ward just the same. A meeting of the Fourteenth Ward Democrat- ic Club was held last night at 2117 Cass avenue. Speeches were made by Hon Wm. H. Stene and Jas. M. Sullivan. Another meeting of the club will be held next Saturday. Dick Lamb says he has no use for any eagle- beaked individual who has the cheek to pass himself off under such a name as Patrick J. Maloney, Such instances at the primaries he construes as prima facie evidence of fraud. Tom Smith, the fat boy of the Eighth Ward, cast his first vote at the recent primaries. The opposition challenged the vote on the ground that Tom had not attained his majority, and the young politician found it necessary to get corroborative testimony as to his age. Mr. George T. Dougherty, a deaf-mute, is a candidate for appointment to the position of analytical chemist underthe milk-inspection bill, which has just passed the Municipal As- sembly. 22 his indorsers are President Scott of the Belcher Sugar Refinery, Profs. Potter and Woodward, and Mr, C. P. Chou- teau. Several vears ago Dougherty went to the Fulton Deaf-Mute Asylum and there grad- uated withthe highest honors. As the pupil of first honors in the State, he was sent to the National Institute at Washington, where he received his degree. On his return to this city he followed his profession as chemist. He was also employed at Chicago and Kansas City. Articles on chemistry by Mr. Dougherty have received general atten- tion from scientific journals both in this coun- try, in England and on the Continent. He has also written a series of articles on Poli- tics in the Silent World.’’ Mr. Dougherty is an ardent Democrat.

THE PRESIDENT RESPONDS TO THE GRAND ARMY INVITATION. He Will Be Glad if He Finds His Way Clear to Its Acceptance,” But He Can- not Give a Positive Answer at Present— The Popular Invitation to be Pressed— A Suggestion as to Style. This morning Mayor Francis received the first acknowledgment from the White House of the invitation sent the Presidentand Mrs. Cleveland amonth ago by the special com- mittee appointed by the General Executive Committee of the Grand Army of the Repub- lic. It read as follows: TEEXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, March 29, 1887. Hon. David R. Francis, Mayor, St. Louis, Mo.: My DrAR SrrR:—The President is in receipt of the communication dated February 26, and signed by, Mr, Fr pe Gaiennie, President of the Mergliants’ Exchange; Mr. John W. Noble che-. A. R. and yourself, inviting him to visit St. Louis and accept of its hospitalities during the ational Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in September next. At this time, so far in advance of the event, the President feels that he cannot do more than to express his appreciation of the compliment and courtesy of the invitation, and to say that he will be glad if he finds his way clear to its acceptance. After he hes given further consideration to the question ef the disposition of his time during the summer and fall and is able to determine what kis official duties will permit him to do, he will advise you, as early as possible, of his declkion in the matter. Very re-p2ctfully, D. 8. LAMONT, Private Secretary. This answer is looked upon as altogether favorable. The President could not be ex- pected to give a definite answer tothe invita- tion so far in advance. The tone of the letter written by his private secretary, however, indicates that he is really considering the matter—that he has not put it aside as impracticable or unde- sirable. Mayor Francis, who is the only mem- ber of the Citizens’ Committee of Arrange- ments who has seen the letter, looks upon it as very favorable. Under these circumstances the necessity for emphasizing the invitation of the Grand Army Committee with a popular invitation becomes the more apparent. If the proper pressure is brought to bear upon the President now it may hasten his determination. He will doubtless make his plans for the summer within the next month or two, and the sooner the mammoth invitation goes forward the bet- ter, STYLE OF THE INVITATION. At the meeting of the committee to-morrow afternoon at the Mayor’s office a proposition made at the last committee meeting and not discussed at any length will be renewed, This propoeition is to divide the big book of signatures up, classify and index it. It is pro- posed that the Mayor and city officials and em- ployes inthe orderof their importance sign in one part of the book, that another set of sheets be devoted to the signatures of mem- bers of the Merchants’ Exchange, another to the Cotton Exchange, and others to the Grand Army posts, This will make the big book of more importance than if it contains simply a mass of unidentified signatures. The President cannot judge by a man’s handwriting whether he is a representative citizen or not, and it will add so much weight to the invitation if it is seen plainly that itis participated in by the various commercial and other organizations. The book can be handsomely indexed, and a neat, but not elaborate, inscription, with per- haps some special appropriate design, can in- dicate the different divisions. It is hardly likely that the President or any one else would take the trouble to look very far through a book of 100,000 monotonous signa- tures. The proposition that the signatures be classified was made by Mayor Francis at the committee meeting Wednesday, but it was not favorably received by some, and so it was dropped. It will be revived again to-morrow, however. THB COMMITTEE of Arrangements holds its second meeting at 4 o’clock to-morrow afternoon at the Mayor’s office. Mr. Sampson has returned to the city and it is expected there will be a full com- mittee present. The principal business will be the appointment of the Citizens’ Com- mittee to take charge of the distribution of the parchment sheets.

Egan in the United States Circuit Court to-day, having presented 0 the Jury amass of convicting testimony. “Egan sat between his counsel, Messrs. Mar- all & Kram, eagerly listening to the develop- ments from the witness stand. The disclosures g 8 wery evidently complete surprises to the ~ @efendant and his attorneys at se- eral stages in the presentation of the dase for the United States. The fact that the ‘witnesses were allowed to depart after very brief cross-examinations was at first inter- ted as promising a startling defense, but manner in which the evidence against Egan was piled up yesterday and this morn- uts an easy defense out of the question. e defendant will have up-hill work in dis- proving the evidence against him. Yesterday afternoon the Government was > at a loss to produce in evidence samples of : ae handwriting to enable the expert, F. H. Wiesehahn, to make a comparison be- tween the writing in the registration books and the defendant’s style. The recognizance “owas ruled out and there was some doubt that the prosecution could produce a sample of the handwriting which could go before the court as evidence in itself. District Attorney Bashaw hit upon the idea of introducing Egan’s signa- ture to the pleas which were argued last week. This was accepted by the Court. The expert was then placed upon the witness stand and a flood of damaging testimony poured in on the defense. Mr. Dyer handed the registration books and the pleas to the expert, and then taking up the indictment asked, one by one, who had made the 363 registrations in the book. In nearly very case the witness identified the writing as Egan’s. This list included the bogus regis- trations from 1203-5-7 and 9 Pine street, 207 North Twelfth street, 307 and 309 North -Bieventh street, 212, 214 and 216 North Thir- ‘teenth street. During the — ot the reading of the names Mr. Marshall said he would consent to dispense with the reading of the remainder of the names as he believed the witness would swear to them all. Messrs. Dyer and Broadhead rose to demand what was meant by this insinuation. Mr. Marshali denied that he had insinuated any- thing against the witness’ veracity, but that be had believed the comparisons had been previously made, and the conclusions already arrived — — —— 2 By means of a magnifying glass the witness ex- plained the points on which he based his opinion. The cross-examination failed to break down the testimony. John McKernan of No. 201 North Twelfth Street, corroborated the previous witnesses who testified, that there were no such num- bers 127510 and 9 Pine street. The house on that lot is occupied by Mr. McKernan. ess was discharged court ad - 10 a. m. to-day, “THE TRIAL TO-DAY. When the w jotrned un When court opened this morning Peter J. Egan, the defendant, was not present, but was represented by his attorney, Mr. W. C. Marshall. The Court ordered that the list of rs summoned for the term be called. The an jury was then called, and the twelve jurors answered. During the hearing of some formal motions Egan entered and took his seat beside his attorney. All jurors and witnesses in other cases were excused until 10 a. m. to- Judge Brewer then ordered counsel roceed with the case on trial. ohn A.

Mre. kman, housekeeper for Mrs. Nellie Pipe-ot No. 216 North Thirteenth street, was and falled to answer; an attachment was asked for to bring her in.

She replied that he did not. She has the same lodgers now that she had last September with the exception of three who had left, but none of her late boarders was named James T. Jones. She was excused with a short cross-examination. As she stepped from the witness box she approached the vudge’s desk. Judge Brewer leaned over dignifiediy, when the witness said in alow tone, barely audible at the counsel table, that she would take her witness-fee money now if it was just the same to his Honor. A titter passed around the room. Judge Brewer di- rected the witness tothe Marshal, but could not repress his appreciation of the occurrence and joined in the laugh with the witness and the audience. . ‘Mrs. Hackman had entered the court-room ‘was called to the stand. She testified that she had lived with Mrs. Nellie Pipe at No. 216 North Thirteenth street for a year. She was asked if John Needham had livedthere. She thought he had. She also remembered W. P. y, Bernard O’Hara and Ed Necker, but did not remember Oliver 8. Nauman, Steve Mayftield, F. P. Necker, John Hanlan, or Frank Necker, allof whom appeared as registered from the above number. enry Reinstadtler was recalled and testi- fied that he had examined Olive street between Bleventh and Twelfth streets. Last Decem- ber there was no house atthe number corres- 4 to 1112 Olive Street. The rney for the defense objected that there might have been a house at 1112 and 1114 in September, and the witness was unable to when the house wastorndown.

In .the fourteenth count he was accnsed of registering seventy-seven names as qualified voters, whereas the proof only touched on the qualifications of two names in that list. The Government expressed its read - iness to enter a nollie prosequi as to the counts named. A question then arose as to the conflict of the indictments. In case No. 2,802, which had been consolidated with case No. 2,808, the allegations were that Egan had registered various names as names of qualified voters, who had applied to him for cen tion, and whom be had registered with the knowledge that they were not qualified, inasmuch as they did not possess the qualification of residence, as Egan well knew. In the second indictment, which em- braces fifty counts, the proof was that such parties did not live at the places named in the registration books and that they were not real persons. Judge Thayer maintained that the allegations in the one instance negatived the allegations in the second cuse. Col. Broadhead argued that both indictments should go before the jury with all the counts touching which the Government had offered any proof. It was not intended to present proof on every one of the 363 names which the defendant had registered, but only enough to sustain each count on which the Government relied for conviction. He did not think, however, that it was a matter of great importance to the Gov- ernment to have the defendant convicted ona large number of counts. He urged that the consolidated indictments should be permitted to go before the jury. Mr. Marshall, forthe defense, said he had expected his associate, Judge Krum, to pre- sent the repugnance of the indictments, but he was not present, and he asked the indulgence of the Court until 2 0’clock before submitting the question and proceeded with the opening statement for the defense. THE DEFENSE. When court convened at 2 o’clock this after - noon District Attorney Bashaw dismissed the first indictment, as the counts- were covered in the second indictment, and the claim that they were conflicting had been raised. Judge Krum then asked for an instruction for an acquittal on the grounds that the Gov- ernment did not prove all that it averred in the indictment. Judge Krum maintained that it was not the entry of single name which canstituted the offense, but it was the unlaw- fulentry of a certain number of names on a certain day in a certain book. He understood the allegation of the Government to be that every name was ficti- tions, while the proof was only on a few names. He claimed thatas the Govern- ment had particularized the names and cir- cumstances,fall these names and circumstan- ces in each count must be established toaska conviction and that the Government could not ask for a conyietion on establishing that any number less than the number alleged were 2 under the previous rulings of the court. WASHINGTON NEWS. Secretary Fairchild Commissioned and Sworn In—A Civil Service Kick. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 1.—The President to-day signed the commissions of Charles 8. Fairchild’ as Secretary of the Treasury and Isaac H. Maynard as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Fairchild at once entered upon the dis- — charge of his new du- ties. He was sworn in atllo’clock by anotary public employed in the secretary’s office, and took possession of the Office and desk former- ly — — by ex-Sec- retary Manning. The Officers and many of the clerks of the de- partment waited upon him early and extended their corgratulations. The crowd became so great that he was com- 4 pelled to abandon for a time all idea of Charles 8. Fairchild. attending to the current work claiming his attention. He caused a temporary halt by an- nouncing that he would receive his official friends informally in the afternoon after he had disposed of his mail. He received a pro- fusion of flowers and congratulatory letters and telegrams from all parts ofthe country. The 9 gree of the telegrams were from bank- ers and business men. Judge Maynard will not qualify as Assistant Secretary before Monday, as he desires to dis- pose of some business now pend- ing in the Second Comptroller's office. In accepting his new office he will suffer a loss of $500 a year in his salary. He makes the change at the personal solicitation of the President and Secretary Fairchild. With the — he enjoys the closest personal rela- tions. A Civil-Service Kick. WASHINGTON, D. C., April i1.—Some weeks ago the Oivil-Service Reform Lea- gne of Chicago filed with the Civil- Service Commission a formal com- plaint against Anthony J. Seeburger, Collector of the port of Chicago, charging him with violation of the civil- service law. The league charges Collector Seeburger with peremptorily demanding the resignation of one George A. Wester, an honorably dis- charged Union soldier, and lately a clerk of class one in the Apprais- er’s office in the Chicago Custom- house. It is stated that the Collector, at the time he demanded Mr. Webster’s resig- nation, said tu him that there were no charges agains8 his record, that he knew him to be an efficient clerk and a faithful public servant, but that he must have his place—that the outside pressure for the place was overwhelming and that the Democratic party having been out of power twenty-five years, was clearly entitled to the offices, and for this reason alone he must insist upon Mr. Webster’s resignation. It is further stated that Mr. Webster tendered his resignation as required, but not as viewed by the Collector, in o suf- ficiently respectful manner—that in his letter of resignation he omitted to preface to the collector’s name the title ‘*honorable,’’ as is customary and proper, and that he was therefore compelled to write out another, letter of resignation, the same being dictated by the collector. Jo allof these charges and specifications Col- lector Seeburger makes a positive denial, save as to the one that he requested Mr. Webster's resignation. lie claims that the spirit of his interviews with Mr. Webster are misstated and exag- gerated. At a recent meeting of the Oivil- Service Commission it was di- rected that the papers in this case he referred to Commissioners Edgerton and Lyman with instructions to make an inves- tigation of the facts of the complaint filed by the Chicago Civil Service Reform League on or about April 12, next. It was also de- termined at this grey | to extend the in- vestigation or inquiry to the Chicago Customs District and to the Chicago Post-office for the purpose of ascertaining in what man- ner the civil service act, rules and regulations are enforced therein.

Wager Swayne and The East Bondholders—The Wa- bash Western Railway Company Take Possession of Their Property—Officails Appointed — The Wabash Judgment — Orders of Court in the Case—The Atchi- son Purchase Denied. CHICAGO, III., April 1.—The question of ap- pointing a successor to Judge Cooley as re- ceiver of the Wabash lines east of the Missis- sippi is now engaging Judge Gresham’s at- tention. The lines west of the river are to be turned over to the Gould Purchasing Commit- tee under the order of the Federal Court at St. Louis to-day. Judge Gresham said that he had delayed the appointment in the hope that the way was perhaps now open for a settle- ment of the whole question. Atany rate the appointment would be delayed pending a meeting between Gen. Swayne for the . chasing Committee and representatives of the various bondholders, which would take peace to-day. Ifno arrangement was effected t would then be in order to appoint a receiver satisfactory to all parties. Receiver Cooley yesterday filed a petition with Judge Gresham. setting out that it would be necessary, in order to keep the linesin a safe condition for fast trains, to lay, during the present year, at least four thousand tons of new steel rails. By selling old rails it would be possible to make the needed im- provements for something like $80,000. Judge Gresham entered an order allowing the re- — to expend not more than $80,000 for new rails. The Wabash Western. The Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway was changed to-day into the Wabash Western Railway, and passed intothe control of the Wabash Purchasing Committee, under the order of the United States Circuit Court. The circulars announcing the fact were issued this morning. No changes are made in the officers of the company in any department, A. A. Talmage remaining General Manager; Chas. M. Hayes, Assistant General Manager; James Smith, General Traffic Manager, Samuel Smith, Assistant General Freight Agent; France Chandler, General Passenger Agent; O. 8. Crane, Assistant General Passenger Agent; D. B. Howard, Auditor; W. S. Lincoln, Chief Engineer, and the other officers in their former positions. The executive officers, as alread stated, are O. D. Ashley, President; Edgar T. Welles and A. A. Talmage, Vice-Presidents; James F. How, Secretary and Treasurer. Messrs. Humphreys and Tutt, the receivers, have issued a circular announcing the turning over of the road to the committee. The com- mittee have also authorized General Manager Talmage to assume control of the Des Moines & St. Louis, Des Moines & North- western, Attica, Covington & Southern and Champaign & Southwestern Railways and to manage them through the Wabash Western Railway. Messrs. O. D. Ashley and A. A. Talmage, managing agents for the committee, have also assumed control of the Detroit, Butler & St. Louis and Eel River Railways, and have appointed the same officers as those over the Wabash Western Road. The decision of Judge Gresham to wait be- fore appointing areceiver to succeed Judge Cooley in the East Wabash ager Sigg 3 in order to give the bondholders and the purchasing committee time to arrange their difficulties, indicates that everything will be smoothed out which is in the way ofa reunion of the system, and that this may be anticipatea shortly. The Wabash Judgment. On the motion of the Central Trust Company of New York and James Cheney, trustees of the Wabash general mortgage bonds, for judg- ment against the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific Railway Company fur the balance due on the general mortgage bonds, the Federal Court to- day ordered judgment to be entered against the Wabash Company for $20,029,523.35, being the balance due for the use and benefit of the owners of the general mortgage bonds, ac- cording to their respective interests. Execu- tion was ordered for that amount. The judg- ment was entered by stipulation as to the balance due The principal amounted to $17,000,000 and the interest unpaid to Aprill, 1887, to $3,654,523.35, and the total credit to which the Wabash Company was entitled by the sale of the property was $625,000. The court also ordered that of the funds now in possession of E. T. Allen, the commissioner appointed to sell the mortgaged property un- der the decree of January 6, 1886, the pro- ceeds of the sale, the commissioner shall pay to the receivers 5100. 000 to be used by them in paying their indebtedness or sucn indebtedness of the Wabash as they have been ordered to pay by the court. Ifthe fund shall not be sufficient to meet the expenses to which the fund is ap- plicable under the decree of forclosure such deficiency shall be made good by the Purchas- ing Committee. The decree ordered by the court some time since in disposing of the Bonner petition, in- volving the application of the consolidated mortgage bondholders, was formally entered and thus the Wabash business in the Federal Court was cleared for the present. Dropped the Time-Tables. CINCINNATI, O., April 1.—The Cincinnati newspapers appear to-day without the cus- tomary column giving the time of the arrival and departure of trains. This is in accordance with a proposition made by the newspapers jointly in view of the stoppage of passes to stop the free publication of matterfor the benefit of the roads, butto accept tickets in payment for all advertising. The railroads replied, accepting the proposition for adver- tisements which they should order, and inti- mating that the daily publication of the time- tables should not be regarded as an advertise- ment. The Atchison Purchase Denied. Boston, April 1.—President Strong of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad Com- pany denies absolutely that his company has purchased or has any interest in the purchase ofthe Chicago & Eastern Illinois Road. He also declares that he has no information as to the alleged sale beyond the rumors coming from the street. Peoria’s Case. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH.

Mr. Blaine replied in a few well chosen words. He was then escorted through the institution and on his departure ex- pressed himself as much pleased with his visit and the reception accorded him. He asked Rev. Bro. Virgil, the President of the College, to declare a holiday for the remainder of the day, which was done. AFTER THE BREWERS.

TO The Breaking of the Pool Brings 65,000 Shares onthe Market andthe Price De- clines From 82.50 to 60 Cents, Closing at 70 Cents—Inside Stockholders Responsi- ble for the Break— Mining Gossip. Third street and the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange were wildly excited to-day overa sudden break in the price of Dinero stock. Since the organization of the Din- ero Company about January 1. the stock with the exception of about 1,000 shares has been pooled with a penalty for breaking the pool agreed to among the stockholders. Very little trading in the stock was done on account of the limited quantity on the market, and under the influence of a good demand and bullish talk by some ot the insid - ers the stock went up to $2.50 a share,although the ground floor price was only 60 cents. Some of the stock changed hands several times on its way up to that figure. Recently a small stockholder, who had exam- ined the mine personally during a visit to Leadville made an effort to sell out his holding. He made the sale, as he thought, through a broker, but when the stock was delivered the purchaser refused to take it, claiming thatin his bid he had specified pooled stock, and that he would not accept any but pooled stock. As pooled stock could not be sold the trade was finally declared off, but an effort to sell the stock at as low a figure as $1.50 was unsuccess- ful. It was hawked around the Exchange for awhile and finally withdrawn. EFFORTS TO RENEW THE POOL. Recently a consultation was held by the stockbolders with a view to coming to an un- derstanding as to the renewal of tne ool which was to expire by imitation April 1. All of the big stockholders with the exception of Jim Langhorn of Leadville agreed to the arrange- ment. Langhorn was the original owner of the mine, and owned 65,000 shares of stock. He claimed that he needed money and that he most sell some if not all of his stock. As the pool would be of little influence with 55,000 shares lacking, the idea of reorganizing it was finally abandoned. Mr. Langhorn could not put his stock on the market until do-day. When the market for mining stocks opened this morning at a rather late hour the big Dinero stock- holders were waiting about for Mr. Lang- horn’s stock to come out. Presentiy it came. A broker acting for Langhorn began offering the stock at high figures, teeling about forabid. Imme- diately the big stockholders came into the ring with offers of stock in 5, 000 and 10,000 share lots, offering it right and left. A big crowd gathered about them, men stand- ing fifteen and twenty deep, trying to hear or see what was being done. John W. Kauffman sold 500 shares and J. C. Ewaid 5,000 shares at prices ranging from 60 cents to 70 cents. A number of brokers bought at 60 cents for a ‘‘scalp,’’ and others who had paid $2.50 bought at 60 cents and 70 cents to ‘‘average down. Toward 1 o’clo¢k the floor became more quiet, but there was stili lively trading in Dinero in the little ring of brokers. This afternoon it sold at 70 cents, but many of the stockholders say they believe it will sell lower before all Laughorn’s stock is disposed of. JOHN W.

The Indicted Chicago Boodlers Give Bail for Their Appearance in Court. CHICAGO, April 1.—When Judge Anthony arrived at the court-room this morning he could hardly crowd his way in, on account of the density of the throng of indicted boodlers present for the purpose of giving bail, and their friends, who came early to help them. Sheriff Matson followed the Judge with a full list of the indicted. It is as follows: George C. Klehm, Michael Wasserman, Michael Leyden, J. J. McCarthy, William J. MecGarigle, R. . Henry Varrell, Dan Ichs, R. M. Oliver, Geils, Christian Cassellman, Ed Phillips, J. S. Han- nigan, John E. Van Pelt, William Harley, J. F. Carpenter, Michael Costello, H. L. Hauland, August Russe, Napoleon Barsaloux, Phillip Kelly, Patrick Mahoney, Loren P. Crane, Jos. Buckley. In the case of Mike Wasserman, the ex-commissioner, who is indicted on one charge of bribery and two of conspiracy, bail was fixed at $15,000 for the three charges. The bonds given by the other commissioners and ex-commissioners on the list were fixed at amounts ranging from $5,000 to $17.000, the latter that of Buck!“ McCarthy, whose indictment contains five counts for bribery and conspiracy. Besides the commis- sioners, ex-commisioner and county oflicials on the indicted list are nine contractors and dealers in furniture, — ge etc. At 2 p. m. most of them had secured bail. A SAD CASE, Mrs. Erva Ballmau Relates Her Domestic Experience—Serious Charges. An amended petition for divorce was filed this afternoon in the Circuit Court by Mrs. Erva A. Ballman against George W. Ballman. They were married October 1, 1877, and lived together until last month. Mrs. Baliman alleges that her husband treated her in the most brutal manner, knocked her down, caught her bythe hair and battered her head against the floor, cursed and reviled her in the most horrible manner, acted indecently in the presence of the ohild and did everything to render his wife’s condi- tion intolerabie. She further alleges that he associated with fast women and in the most scandalous manner in public, riding around in hacks with disreputable people at all hours of the night. It is further alleged that for a long time Mr Ballman has en way to habits of intemper- ance and negiected his family. He is a clerk and. salesman, commanding a good — a able to work.

His Brands of Distorted Wit Saved From the Burning—A Caramel With a Fair Outside, But Oh!—Strange and Dark De- vices—A Real Live Cod—The Small Boy —Etiquette of the Day. Practical jokers’ feast day comes on the Ist of April. Thatis the day of his greatest fan; he wallows in a mire of fantastic discomfort for other people, he burdens the air with chestnut smoke. The constitutional prac- tical joker is seldom a wit, and so rarely original that any one who opens his eyes in the morning and really keeps them open during the day has no need to fall into the traps the joker will lay. Yet a man’s oc- cupations will make him forget the season, and he absolutely tumbles into anciently ridiculous positions. Custom and usage have ceased to make a man’s coat tipped with a rag tall comical. A sensitive man blushes for the individual who pinned the tail on. The loaded cigar, trick glasses, which seem to hold drinks, but do not; bar bottles that elude the grasp ofthe the thirsty when manipulated bya barkeeper anda string; rats with string attachments, red-hot nickels, etc., are among the ancients that have the paint rubbed off—sucked off by the innocents of many generations. To-day these moss-covered bits of practical amuse- ment have been doing service, andatrick or two has been brought tothe fore which really shows smooth vurnished suriaces without cracks or dents. One of these is a second cousin to the flap-jack with rag filling and own brother tothe cotton-batting fritter. Choco- late caramels tempt a large percentage of candy lovers, but it isa A GOOD RULE that such people should paste in their hats: Avoid the carumelon April 1, unless it is ac- companied by a certificate from the Heaith Department. For enterprising confectioners have manufactured for their fooling custom- ers a caramel that is chocolate outside, or maple sugar or any substance that caramela are made of, and soap on the inside. Now perfumed soap that is built for the purpose may be pleasant to clean teeth with, but when one girds up his loins to eat butter he refuses to be satisfied with oleomargarine, and soap cannot fill the void created for the especial benefit of the caramel. The same wicked confectioner has prepared other devices. He has filled French candies with flannel, con- structed Het pete drops that are humorous. on account of the substitution of sand for pep- permint,and taffy with sponges on the inside is one of the commercial jokes. A somewhat well-known advertising agent introduced the padded caramel at the South- ern Hotel last night, and one of the clerks be- came a victim to such an extent that several tooth brushes were used before the lye and grease interior of the candied lie was re- moved, 2 Another new idea was evolved from the seething brain of a fish-store clerk.

Sroux City, Io., April 1.—The defense the Haddock trial are laying the foundatio of a plot charging Leavitt with th act of murder. Witnesses th morning have sworn positively th an hour before the murder they si Leavitt on Fourth street wearing light pant. Other witnesses testified to his having made remarks about killing Haddock the day the murder. The testimony, however, isn wholly confined to Leavitt, a part of it bein directed against the character and utterances of Bismarck.

It indicates a need of re- form. — Oe —- Gov. MARMADUKE is showing a remark- able disregard for local popularity in his vetoes and in his approval of bills. He evidently has as little to expect from Southwest Missouri as from St. Louis. OnE of the lawyers for the opponents of the Merchants’ Terminal bill said yester- day that it would have to compete with existtag terminal facilities.“ There is an impression that that is just what the new bridge is intended for. THE most important item of real estate news in St. Louis this year is the location of the Missouri Pacific shops in this city, „Full information concerning which may be found in to-day’s Post-DIsPaTCH in advance of all competition. — —— — THE spirit of prompt obedience to the law shown by the railroad corporations in calling in all passes “by advice of coun- | sel” meets with universal approval. Let us hope that all just requirements of the law will meet with equally willing obe- * lose. ö — — — — THE revelations of the Egan case are no surprise to any one who has followed the exposures of election frauds in the Post- DispaTcH. They reveal a rottenness which extends through the whole political man- agement by the Democratic ward bosses, and which disgraces the city in which it is tolerated. * Gov. MARMADUKE thinks we should not vast e $20,000 a year on a third Court of Appeals when the two we have easily lispose of all the appeal cases, and what re really need is some provision for the relief of onr overtasked Supreme Court. On these grounds he has vetoed the new Jourt of Appeals bill. ee Tu evidence in the Egan case pub- lished in the Posr-Drsrarcg yesterday was a repetition of the evidence published in the PosT-DISPATCH immediately after the election, and also of the facts pub- lished immediately after the spring elec- tion in 1885, when the present city govern- | ment was counted in. | — — — THE registration of voters as conducted by Mr. EGan becomes highly interesting reading in connection with the fact that the attempt to punish these forgeries was denounced by the Hendricks Association, and that that Association now controls the local Democratic organization. Tam- many under the ruleof TWEED was not more open in its defense and protection of fraud. THERE are some localities in which the ‘Democratic party cannot be controlled and run successfully by the Custom- house and the Post-pffice. That St. Louis is one of these localities was shown last fall, when both the Post-office and the Custom-house did their best to elect a Re- publican over a Democratic nominee for Congress, but failed. That Chicago is “another one appears from the fact that Custom-house and Post-office interfer- ence there has demolished and scattered to the winds the party organization which has controlled that city for eight years past and which has elected a Democratio Mayor four terms in succession. In his powerful speech against the co- ercion bill Mr. LaBOUCHERE reminded the House of Commons that terrorism, out- rage and disorder were rampant in the Southern States after our war, so long as outside interference with their domestic affairs continued, but disorder subsided and quickly disappeared when home rule was conceded tothem. He might have added that the most effective ory used in utting a stop to coercive interference u Southern affairs was the cry that our ed Government was making an reland ot the South.“ From a rep- 1 1 ¥ 2 * an 1 . „ „% ae Oo ASS Par yk ty E Exe ae . * i * re N “ 4 . 9 ae | are 3 r 5 e fit ye E « . yt, Sos 2 * 7 * * p 8 * — ees 2 Sage ae 8 ts „ 4 1 2 l 1 . N 1 placed them under the restraint of a pub- lic sentiment to which they had to sub- mit. And, as in the South that which had been mere rowdyism under extreme ‘provocation, or had been regarded as justifiable resistance to alien interference, came to be regarded again as crime under home rulé, so it would be in Ireland if her people were elevated tothe dignity and the sénse of responsibility that go with conscious self-government. TELEPHONE WATER. The Bell Telephone Company’s report, published in the Associated Press dis- patches a few days ago, showed that com- pany a stockholder in other telephone companies to the amount of 922, 605, 925. These others are the local companies which are permitted to use the Bell in- struments (costing only $3.42 each) at a rental of $14 a year each. To obtain the right to use these instruments even on these terms, the local company is re- quired to enter into a contract under which it is compelled to fix rates ‘‘at whatever figure the Bell Company may dictate.” And as soon as the local company’s earnings suffice to pay divi- dends on a larger capitalization it can be compelled to water its stocks to any amount the Bell Company may dictate, and to pay for its franchise“ by trans- ferring to the Bell Company whatever part of its stocks may be demanded. It was in this way the Bell Company ac- quired $350, 750 of the $600,000 of the Union Telephone Company’s stock in Kansas, and $493,300 of the $875,000 of the Missouri and Kansas Company’s stock. Of the Central Union Company’s $10,000,000, mostly water, the Bell Company holds $3,326,000 as pay for the franchise,“ and can force the subject company to pay div- idends on that stock or quit business. Thus the local company at Providence, which was earning dividends of 20 per cent per annum on a capital of $250,000, with a house rate of only $30 a year, has been forced to water its stock to $384,600 in order that it may surrender $134,600 of the same to the Bell Company. Permission to water the stock to this extent was granted by the Rhode Island Legislature because the Bell Com- pany had the power todeprive Providence of the telephone service unless its de- mands were acceded to. When the Indi- ana Legislature passed an act to cut down the telephone rates in that State to rates by which the Central Union Com- pany could no longer earn dividends on its bogus capitalization, the local company had no alternative but to announce its withdrawal from the field. Of course, if all the States in the Union would, as Indiana has done, and as each State has the power to do, reduce rates to a fair but liberal return on an honest capitalization of the local plant, the Bell Company could be forced to accept a rea- sonable compensation for the use of its instruments. But so long as nearly all the States permit it to keep the telephone service on the basis of ‘‘all the traffic will bear“ there will be no other limit to this stock watering, and the Bell monopoly can well afford to deprive Indiana ora dozen objecting States of the use of the Bell patent. From the amount of local telephone stocks held by the Bell Company we infer that the telephone business in the United States is already stocked at about $75,000, - 000, or nearly as much as the profusely watered Western Union Telegraph stocks. —ͤ ee By electing Judge CooLry as their Chairman, the Democratic majority of the Interstate Railway Commission paid due tribute to his eminence asa jurist and at the same time affirmed the purely judicial and non-partisan function of the commission itself. Their resolution to suspend the operation of the long and short haul provision in every case where such suspension may be pe- titioned for, until they can have time to fully investigate such case, isan assurance that the power intrusted to them will be used with abundant cau- tion, and without any disposition to inter- fere with the railroads except for good cause judicially ascertained. We hope it is no indication that the burden of proof is to be thrown on those who demand the enforcement of that provision. To sus- pend it on a mere petition and ignore counter petitions for its enforcement, looks a little like holding that the pre- sumption should be against enforcement in all cases until a strong case for enforce- ment be fully made out, „ — WE regret to observe that the committee in charge of the invitation to President OLEVELAND have departed from the origi- nal idea of the invitation and, instead of making it a classified, symmetrical, orderly and attractive collection of sig- natures, propose to send on a bald, shape- less, meaningless string of names, col- lected without regard to age, sex or previous condition of character. This will be a lamentable error, and will deprive the invitation of its real charac- ter and highest value. The societies of all kinds that would have taken pride and pleasure in having their request placed before the President will be deprived of their identity, and will, of course, take less interest in the matter. On the other hand, the names of the committee will appear in big type on the title page of the volume, , — 11 1 i= Ir may be possible to control the Demo- oratio nomination for President through rigging machines and delivering dele- gations. But the nomination will hardly be worth the cost, if the party is m the meantime disorganized, demoralized, shattered and scattered everywhere as it now seems to be in Chi- cago. Without patronage MORRISON seemed to be invincible in his district. As soon as he began to dispense Federal offices he was beaten. Without a cent’s worth of Federal patronage the Demo- crats elected their candidate for Mayor in Chicago four times in succession. But as soon as a gang of “Democratic wheel- horses, organizers and fighters” take possession of the Chicago Custom-house and Post-office, the Democratic party in Chicago goes all to pieces, gives up the ghost and disappears from the political arena. 2 — — — ee THE President's Custom- house and Post- office appointees in Chicago are not only conspicuous in local politics, but are so split into factions and so perniciously active that they have destroyed the Demo- cratic organization in that city, and are now fighting among themselves over the question whether they shall run a citizens’ ticket or support the Republican nominees. They have brought things to such a pass that either a citizens’ ticket or a Demo- cratic ticket supported by them must ap- pear as a mere diversionin favor of the Republican candidates, and to help the Republicans defeat the Union Labor ticket, which is alleged to be tainted with Socialism. But it is said that whichever side the Custom-house takes in the strug- gle, the Post-office will take the other, and vice versa. Asa bouncer of Federal office-holders out of local politics, and an eliminator of pernicious activity from the civil service, the appointing power is not being used just now with briljant success. — — — — Can a Husband Open His Wife’s Letters? From the St. James's Gazette. The Parisian advocates discussed the deli- cate question Has a husband a right to open his wife’s letters?“ at their last conference, and they decided that he has. A journalist who has consulted several extra-legal lumin- aries on the point finds them, with a single exception, in substantial agreement with the lawyers. An enlightened priest, whose name is not given, answered that the doctrine of the Church was that the husband is master in the house, and that he had, therefore, a perfect right to open his wife’s letters. M. de Pressense, the leading Protestant pas- tor in Paris, was somewhat less affirmative; though, as regards wives who had anything to fear from the exercise of the right, he sup- ported the decision of the barristers, while in the case ofa good wife he could not see how it mattered either way. Alexandre Dumas, looking atthe guestion from the historico- philosophical standpoint, contended that what we know ofthe relations of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden clearly establishes the right of the husband to inspect his wife’s correspondence. Mme. Peyrebune’s answer was also in the affirmative, though she added that the ques- tion was of no practical importance, as com- promising letters are never sent through the post. Mme. Adam wasthe only dissentient. In her opinion, the husband who oppened his wife’s letters was nothing more nor less than a blackguard. Kate’s Kansas Notes. From the Kansas City Times. Epistolary advices from bonnie Kate Field indicate that that talented and pertinacious young woman is traveling leisurely through northern Kansas and Nebraska, enjoying the scenery and ever and anon tackling ‘‘the Mor- mon monster’’ by way of helping out ex- penses. The truth is, however, that Miss Feld is probing the mysteriee of prohibition. While in this city she crossed over to Wyan- dotte and bought a bottle of brandy for scien- tific or mechanical purposes, and tried it ona cockroach with immediately fatal results. She has sent that brandy East to be analyzed, and has come to the conclusion that prohibi- tion is a monster of deceit and iniquity. The next time she putsinan appearance in these parts itis probable that she and the W. C. T. U. will not speak as they chassez. Rhode Island and the Administration. From the Baltimore American. Cleveland has for the last few weeks been quietly working for something to bring the Democrats forward again. He hopes to create a sensation in Rhode Island in the com- ing State election. Justat present there is a fierce political fight going on. The Adminis- tration has gone tothe rescue of the Demo- crats, and while Cleveland has waited over two years fora time to change offices there, he has suddenly discovered that a change is necessary, and within the last few days he has appointed a United States marshal, a postmaster for Providence and two other postmasters for Rhode Island cities. These have been of great benefit to the Democrats, asthe appointees are all A No. 1 Democrats. Now that Carter Harrison has sounded the warning from the West, Cleveland will have to turn from the East and look Westward. Second Divorces. From the Boston Herald. Mr. Thackeray is credited with the remark that while most men have been drunk once in their lives, no gentleman ever gets drunk a second time. One wouid suppose that this re- mark—making due qualifications—would ap- ply with still greater forceto the matter of divorce. Apart trom scruples of religion or conscience, it is not difficult to conceive of circumstances which would justify any man or woman in asking fora dissolution of his or her marriage ties; butfora person of sound mind, with one sad experience like this asa guide and warning to future action, to fall again into the condition that requires a second appeal to the divorce courts, is incomprehen- sible. Alawthat prohibited second divorces would receive the general approval of the community. Leak in the Peach Blow Vase. From the New York WORLD. Secretary Bayard is disturbed about the leak in the State Department through which treat- ies slip into the New York newspapers. The thing has occurred several times since he took charge of the department, but the enormity of the matter did not seem to strike him until he saw the Russian treaty reproduced in the WORLD the other day. A Pointer, From the Chicago Hérald. The Prohibitionists should not overlook the fact that the beaten yacht in the great race ran ont of fresh water when ten days out, and the crew were obliged to subsist for the remainder ‘of the trip on the luxuries provided for the oc- cupants of the cabin. First beer and ale were * and not until the last drop had been consumed ala the vessel reach port. If there had been r e the old stuff, the untless would have been Iuffing somewhere on the high seas yet. . A Lonely Flag. From the Portland (Me.) Argus. With favorable winds to bring them along, Portiand har will hold ina few days the largest fleet of South America bound vessels ever known in its history. Three ships and twelve barks, all of large class, are now under charter for Buenos Ayres. The aggregate ton- nage is about 19,000, and they will take out over 10,000,000 feetoflumber. The stars and stripes fly at the masthead ofonly one of these vessels. The President’s Danger. From the Galveston News. President Oleveland has to choose a new Secretary of the Treasury immediately, and if he takes an Eastern man with the ideas which have thus far prevailed in the Treasury, his Administration may be so far damaged by the results before next Christmas that all its popu- larity among New York financiers will not off- set ite loss of trust.and confidence throughout the West and South. Base Bali vs. Booms. From the Kansas City Times. Alluding to the fact that Congressman O’Neill, while on his travels, fails to talk un- ceasingly about the St. Louis real estate boom, the Post-DIsPaATCH adds that if the Honorable William Warner had the temerity to be guilty of such negligence toward his dis- trict his constituents would rise up as one man and repudiate him. Worse; they would tar and feather him. Worth Trying. From the New York WORLD. The furniture-workers of St. Louis are try- ing the circulation of petitions among their employers as a substitute for strikes in secur- ing higher wages. The scheme is at least worthy of a fair experiment. Even a just strike like a just war entails a certain amount of ab- solute loss and waste for which there is no re- turn in kind, METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. New Yor«, April 1.—The WORLD says: The most successful instance of transfusion of blood on record is the transfer of the vital element from the Central Pacific Railroad to the Southern Pacific Road. The patientisina fine state of vigor, though the operation proved fatal to the individual supplying the blood. But this does not detract from its being in a surgieal sense a magnificent suc- cess. THE SUN. The Sun says: And now they say that the Hon. Daniel Lamont is growing stout. A more evideut compliment to his distinguished chief could not be paid. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: According to dis- patches from Washington, Mr. C. S. Fairchild, who has been Assistant Secretary of the Treas- ury since March, 1885, is to succeed Mr. Man- ning as the head of that important depart- ment. It is the — truth to affirm that his name would possibly not have occurred to anybody for the place, had it not been for his holding the subordinate position and for the unusual prominence that has been given him owing to the protracted illness of his chief. During his connection with the Treasury De- partment he has made a good impression, but there is little in hie training or in his previous career that suggests him for a financial trust of this magnitude. THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘The formal appointment of Mr. Fairchild, as Secretary of §the Treasury was made by Président Cleveland yesterday. It is the one our readers have been led to ex- — for the past in which that gentleman 1as been performing the duties of the office he now assumes. It is a thoroughly good * pointment. Much that was best in the Ad- ministration of the Treasury under Mr. Manning, was the work of Mr. Fair- child and the qualities he has already shown himself to possess will find more com- plete scope in his new position. He is a be- liever in the two ideas of the Administration, viz: that public business should be managed on business principles and that public office should be a public trust, and with these con- victions he has a rare combination of judicial impartiality and acumen and executive ability. Mr. Maynard’s transfer from the Comptroller’s office to that of assistant secretary, is a pro- motion in rank at smaller pay—a change that ought not to be necessary. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

By Telegraph to the Post-D1sPatcu. OnIcAGoO, April 1.—‘‘Bobby’’ Caruthers, the Brown’s pitcher appears to have been having all the fun there was going last winter which he spent at his mother’s home in this city. He is reported to have had a craze for gambling that kept him at the table night and day all of last week, his passion spending itself only after his last dollar was gone. He is said to have played faroall of Thursday and Thursda night at No. 70 Adams street. e per wit luck which, however, turned, and his money — slipping from him. He became desperate, and in the sace of the protests of his fziends insisted on betting the limit, $50 a turn. Friday morning found Caruthers com- pletely cleaned out. He was said to be loser of several thousand dollars with not enough left to buy his breakfast. When Jim Crawford, who has an interest in the gambling-house, came down in the morning Bob is said to have told him that he had lost every dollar he had, and he finally induced Crawford to lend him $150, giving him his diamonds as 2 his was lost in an hour and again Crawford was sought for. This time he loaned the pitcher $100 on his watch. It toak him nearly an hour to lose this. Then he returned to Crawford and asked for his valuables. ‘*I should have gigen them to him, Craw- ford said, but l-wastold that he was ahead of the house about $3,000 on the winter's play- ing. I’ve got the stuff yet. - ©.

It is said Caruthers is trying to secure his release from Von der Ahe and St. Louis. He is quoted as saying: 1 can make $1,500 if I canget released,’’ and he has had a law- yer engaged for some time in correspond- ence with Mr. Von der Ahe. President Von Der Ahe Surprised. When Mr. Von der Ahe was told of the sub- stance of the above dispatch he seemed very much surprised. He said he had not heard anything about the matter, and believed the story was exaggerated. LANCASTER’S LIBEL SUIT, E. 8. Farish Testifies That He Paid Judge Bakewell’s Assessment. The taking of depositions in the libel suit of R. D. Lancaster against John M. Glover was proceeded with at 2:30 0’clock this afternoon before Commissioner Arba N. Crane. The examination of Judge R. A. Bakewell was continued. The Judge certified to the correctness of a statement made by him in October, 1878, and published in the Posr- DISPATCH, in which he said that a friend of his had paid $250 as part of his assessment as a candidate for Judge of the Court of Appeals. Mr. Glover endeavored to obtain the name of the person to whom Judge Bakewell’s friend had paid his assessment, but, his ques- tions being objected to and the objection sus- tained, the name of the ‘‘person’’ was not obtained. In response to a question from Judge Laugh - lin, Judge Bakewell stated that he had made the statement referred to in a written commu- nication made at the request of Judge Laugh- lin in denial of charges made against Jugs Laughlin. ‘*‘While Mr. Lancaster’s confirmation was pending in the Senate, I wrote a letter, I think, to Senator Cockrell in Lancaster’s favor.’’ At whose request did you write?’’ 4 the request of Ed Butler and Pat Wood- ock. Did you ever hear About the Gundecker depositions?’’ ‘*T did.“ Did they not refer to the sale of the nom- ination for Judge of the Court of Appeals to John Wickham ?’’ „ believe I did hear of it.

IMPORTANT ADMIRALTY QUESTION, A Revenue Cutter Captain in Court for Seiz- ing a Schooner’s Armament. Boston, Mass., April].—The commander of the revenue cutter Gallatin, Capt. Abbey, has been cited to appear before the Admiralty Court in this district to answer to the allega- tion thatin June last, while commanding the United States steamer Corwin, he took by force from the American schooner Sierra her arms and ammunition and other implements ata point in the open sea thirty miles north of Qunalaska while she was navigating the waters of the North Pacific ocean on a hunting and fsbing expedi- tion, thus breaking up her voyage, to the — of the plaintiff of $22,500. It will be seen that the question of jurisdiction of the United States over adjacent high-seas, which is in point of law the question nowin dispute between this country and Canada, is directly involved in this case. It is understood that Capt. Abbey was acting under specific instruc- tions from the Department at Washington. The Grand Army. Gen.

The “Plumed Knight” At- tends the Perform- ance of “Adonis.” An Unsuccessfal Attempt to Call Out a Speech. How the Distinguished Visitor Appeared in the Theater—The Only Ancient Joke That Made Him Laugh—Incidents of Yes- terday’s Reception—Callers at the Hotel —Entertainment Provided for the Party To-Day—Lunched at the St. Louis Club Mr. Blaine to Leave To-Night. The Blaine family are excessively exclusive this trip. The three R.’s and an intense fear of the frequently too previous reporter seem have struck in on the late candidate for Presidency and all con- nected with him. Mr. Blaine deals out his words as a bank cashier parts with his dol- lars in pan- icky times, as if he was afraid a smash-up Mrs. James G. Blaine. might come along any time. This is the way he acted yesterday. Hesaid no more than was abso- lutely necessary to any one, and then on sub- jects connected with ancient history and such handy topics as the weather, his trip West and the improvement of St. Louis. If a reporter happened to be around Mr. Blaine touched these eminently respectable subjects with extreme niggardness for fear they might be distorted Into political utterances. Even jolly Steve Elkins was affected. He was as good-natured, off-hand and rollicking in humor as ever, and showed his magnificent rows of teeth with prodigulity, but no one could get beyond the teeth on a political question. Mr. Elkins served as a capital shield for Mr. Blaine. He is an easy, bright talker, with considerable personal magnetism, in a quiet way, and political darts stuck in Elkin’s soap before they reached James G. He 1 : talked railroads LE. — and business to the merchants and guffed and stood off the re- porters in a masterly way. The only ex- pression of opinion that bordered on pol- itics was with regard to the Interstate Rail- road Commis- sioners when he said that there ought to have been one ap- pointment west of the Missis- sippi as there wasa good deal dt country out this way and a few thousand more miles of 1 t h * 2 evelan knows anything Gail Hamilton about. All the rest was railroad and business. It was amusing to watch THE RECEPTION inthe reading-room of the Merchants’ Ex- change from the rear of Mr. Blaine's elbow. Every man who came up to shake hands with the distinguished visitor had a speech pre- pared. Some ot them forgot the speech and could only mumble out somethingin an under- tone, while others shot the speech off like a small boy at a spelling-match, and others commenced to speak deliberately and finished their say out in the crowd. One man said: Jam glad, Mr. Blaine, that you have come out West, because you will find out what a reat country the Westis.’’ He reached as ar as 1 am glad, Mr. Blaine,“ when Mr. Gaiennie started bim on, but he was deter- min ed that he would have his say, and he did, raising his voce as he moved along until he was almost shouting out the last words fifteen feetaway. He was prettyred in the face but he looked satisfied. Some of the first hand-shakers, mostly veterans, wanted to spend a half hour or so with the statesman. Mr. D. . 1 Jewett is a little deaf and ha uite achat for the benefit of the crowd. Ex-Senator Dave Arm- strong hung on longer than ever, and when he was finally pushed along had hold of Mr. Blaine’s ear and his buttonhole, and was whispering something to him. THE FUNNIEST INCIDENT, however, outside of the L. U. Reavis double entendre was when Dick Lancaster remarked that he had been taken for Mr. Blaine. He started out in a brash hearty manner, as if he was getting off a joke, but when Mr. Biaine looked at the diagram of St. Louis ward olitics which was presented to him as what ad been taken for his face, the joke went glimmering down the aisles and the question became serious. Mr. caster seemed to recognize the fact and his voice dropped to a slightly embarrassed and apolo- getic tone and his smile was a hollow mock- ery. As a matter of fact, complexions barred, there is a resemblance between the two men. THE STREAM OF VISITORS.

Bofinger—A Boom for Carondelet the Consequence—Silent Railroad Of- cials. During the fight over the passage of the Iron Mountain Railroad elevated franchise in the Municipal Assembly last summer it was as- gerted by the lobby for the bill that if it did not pass Jay Gould would desert St. Louis, would remove the general offices ofthe Mis- souri Pacific and St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroads to Kansas City or some other place and instead of running his roads to benefit the Future Great would do his best toinjure its trade. This was known to be buncombe at the time, but a succession of events since that time have stamped it as wild idiocy. Nevertheless it frightened an element in the assembly and elsewhere, and gained for the railroad a temporary advantage. Mr. Gould and those interested with him in the ownership of the properties men- tioned have no more intention of leaving St. Louis than the bank of England has of leaving London. Asademonstration of this fact the recent purchases by the Missouri Pacific Railroad through agents of some hun- dreds of acres of land north of Carondelet Park is sufficient. Andon these broad acres the Gould people propose to erect buildings for occupation by their workmen and for shops. They propose to build an industrial Village, light, airy houses, shops and acces- sories. It is said something like the town of Pullman is the idea Mr. Gould bas outlined to his agents, a town with as little self-government as possible. The idea is to orm the greatest barrier to the inroads of the abor organizations, and to prevent strikes. It was the outgrowth of the troubles last Spring on the Gouldsystem. During that time the strikers had possession of the shops at De Soto and Pacific, and were charged with con- siderable wrecking. It was easier to control the crowd in St. Louis at the shops on Ewing avenue, and an official of the Missouri Pacific said shortly after the subsidence of the trou- le, that Mr. Gould had determined to CONCENTRATE THE SHOPS at some point in or near the city. On this statement arose the rumor that the property urchased near Sutton on the Missouri Pacific ust outside the city, ostensibly for stock yards, was really for shops. The active or- ization of the stock yards company, and e fight waged on it by the National Stock Yards Company of East St. Louis, soon putan end to that rumor. In the meantime a cor- oration known as the St. Louis, Oak Hiil Carondelet Railway Company secured ‘from the Municipal Assembly a franchise for ‘the construction ofarailroad to be operated steam from Cheltenham to Caroadelet. 5 2 This ordinance was introduced atatime when it was thought the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway Oompany’s elevated railroad bill would not go through the Coun- “tl, Ot was pressed and passed with little op- tion of consequence, although it was wits time that the Gould ig backed it.

Most of the right of way, even if it was through city property, was donated to the company, and much of it was acquired fora song. Property owners recognized that a belt line with switches such as was proposed, not but make their unoccupied and nantiess lands valuable. A glance atthe map will serve toshow bow vacant and un- used is all that country from Carondelet Park to the Cheltenham terminus. Here and there are settlements, groups of houses, but the major —— of the route is through flelds. One of he most valuable rights granted to this com- pany 10 the ordinance was the * 55 of wa through Carondelet Park. North of the par there is a large tract of land, some 500 or 600 tores, which has never been laid out in blocks gut remains upon the record books as United Mates surveys numbered in the order in which they were recorded. Part of this un- blocked territory has been given up to the cultivation of garden produce. Among these gardeners is John Wuebold, a mem of the House of Delegates. Glaise . — 2 or, as it is locally termed, Carondelet reek, runs through a portion of it, and is in- dicated in the diagram which accompanies this article. Some time before the franchise was granted to st. Louis, Oak Hill & Caronde- et Ruilroad, Hammel & Karleskind, a South 6t. Louis firm of real estate agents, in person and through local brokers, made over- tures to owners of these surveys for the purchase of the land. These negotiations culminated in a number of purchases and deeds were given, not to Ham- mel & Karleskind, but to JOHN N. BOFINGER, who ap to be the person for whom the agents had been acting. Some ot the owners were not accustomed to buying and selling frequently, and so settled itin their minds that.

Last May W. A. Dick sold the undivided one-half of 22 92-100 acres fronting on Wilmington road to B. F. Hammett for $6,417.60, and the records show Mr. Hammett sold the same property to Mr. Bofinger last July for B. Al, an unwar- ranted decline. John C. egenhart who owned 983-100 acres south of the Berthold property, conveyed it to Bofinger for $2,457.50; J. Donzelot, F. Aymond, J. Aymond and their respective wives in three separate transfers conveyed to Bofinger 15 70-100 acres for $6,854; 7 65-100 acres in United States survey 107 were sold by M. Franklin for $1,912.50 to Bofinger. J. Tonges, who owned 12 2-100 acres north of the spur of the Wilming- ton road sold for $2,600. The Char- ter Oak ife Company, which had acquired nineteen acres in surveys 107 and 108 sold for $,700 to Bofinger. M. J. Blair sold 12 83-100 acres between the land previously held by Degenhart and Dick, for $75. Clara B. Ewing, the Convent of the Good Shepherd and other ownersin the land east of Geant avenue, conveyed rights of way for small amounts, $lto $75. A. Cabrillac etal, con- veyed 70-100 of an acre for $400. Mary A. Derby sold to Bofinger 656-100 acres bounded on the west and north by Wilming- ton road for $1,377.60. C. Th. Uhlman sold 7 53-100 acres south of the ltast-mentioned ground for $2, Evans Casselberry sold late last year 5 94-100 acres west of the park for $1,377.60. A quit-claim was given to Bofinger ofthe right and title of T. Reyburn’s heirs to 1 2-100 acres which is a part of the ground conveyed by Juliet Reyburn. M. J. Blair sold another tract fronting on the Morgan Ford road 1917-100 acres for $5,676. E. H. Hoock gave a quit claim to 24-100 of an acre or the Tonges tract for 845. A number of SMALL PURCHASES have been made by Bofinger south of the Park, the largest of which was two blocks 3,137 and 3,140 bought from Sam Black for $2 , 662. These are the purchases known to have been made by Bofinger. Itis also suspected there are other buyers in the field for the Missouri Pacific, as the inquiries for the property shown in the diagram, are numerous and from odd quarters. In consequence there has ariseh—in a small way as yet—a boom for Carondelet and all property is getting an ad- vance of price tacked on its geperally un- occupied frontage. If the sche of an in- dustrial colony is carried out, or if the shops are only placed there prosperity will spread itself all over that end of the city. Railroad officials refuse to say anything about the plan, tacitly admitting, however, that the scheme as outlined above is correct. CONCENTRATING THE SHOPS. The Missouri Pacific officiais are contemplat- ing the concentration of the shops of the system into one locality where all the machine shops will be Jocated and where there is room enough to have all the building and yard space required. A promi- nent official said on this subject that this was practically certain to be done, as the shops now erected are not nearly sufficient for the work of the constantiy growing system. He said also that the present shops were not only not large enough, but were not con- venient nor properly arranged nor system- atized and that new ones would be erected. It is understood also that branch shops will be put up at Little Rock. It is stated that the direc- tors of the road determined three months ago to build a new Union Depot, and ordered Gen- era) Manager Clark to obtain the plans for it, but he is holding back for a time to see what shape municipal legisiation will take on the question of terminal facilities before acting on the order.

Polish Litigants Trying to Recover a Re- tainer Paid to Their Lawyer, OHICAGO, III., April 1.—Wm. J. English has filed his answer inthe case against him by John Kozitezynski and ninety other South Chicago Polanders, commenced some time ago. Mr. English was attorney for the Poles, who, having squatted on certain vacant prop- erty in South Chicago, and occupied itas a colony for a number of years, decided to con- test the right of the owners to oust them of possession. Headvised purchase ofthe dis- 2 premises at tax sales and this was done, ut on the day preceding that on which they would have deen entitled to a deed, the true owners appeared and paid the amount of taxes and penalty due and the county clerk returned the certi- fied check for $1,000 to Mr. English, who took it to his clients, butthey told him to keep it and apply $500 on his retainer, keeping the re- mainder as an expense fund. The Polanders were determined to contest the owners’ rights to the land in the face of English’s advice that they must finally yield, but the attorney opened negotiations with J. Woodbridge, Jr., representing W. H. Turner, for lease or —— of the property; also with . T. Merrick, another owner. These failed, owing to Merricks death and Turner’s obstinacy. Woodbridge entered suits in eject- ment against the Poles, as dia Merrick’s heirs, and English filed answers and prepared to de- fend. He also procured an agreement from the owners not to press their suits on the un- derstanding that the Poles might be induced to take leases. So the matter stood when the Poles became dissatisfied and suspicious oftheir attorney and demanded the return of the moneys advanced—$1,500 in all. Mr. En- glish refused to accede and the suit followed. The defendant says he has advised and served the complainants to the best of his ability and is justly entitled to receive a greater sum than that he hasretained. The property is worth between $200.000 and $300,000, and is situated on the outskirts of the town of Chicago. The only claim of right the Poles have arises from long continued possession. MoxXIE is the only plant known that will give immediate vigorous strength and produce no reaction. In fact some Doctors say it is the only real nerve food known. It looks so now. It is made into a perfectly harmless beverage, neither stimulant or aicohol, and will remove the tired out, nervous feeling atonce. Every- body keeps it. * MURDEROUS ROBBERS.

Kathoff’s Party Pressing the Czar for War—The Bulgarian Muddle—Prince Oscar of Sweden a Candidate for the Throne—M. Chonffat’s Remarkable Case of Protracted Sleep. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, April 1.—[Capyrighted 1887.]—Pri- vate advices from Bournemouth declare that Mr. Manning is seriously ill. His trip was too much for him. There has been a great deal of mystery about Mr. Manning’s condition ever since his arrival in England. While he was in Liverpool no one could gettosee him or learn how he was. Itnow appears that he was then ill, suffering from the severe ocean trip. His friends in London waited for news concerning him, but were unable to get replies to any of the telegrams which they sent. Then Mr. Manning, with- out a word to any of his friends here, quietly left Liverpool for Bournemouth, a seaside resort on the South English Coast, Mr. Jordan, who came with Mr. Manning, has not yet putin an appearance in London, al- though pressing business matters demand his attention. Letters and telegrams for both Mr. Manning and himself are accumulating at the Union Bank and at the United States Consulate here. Mr. Jordan’s absence is now accounted for. He is with Mr. Manning and has not yet found it safe to leave him. One of Mr. Manning’s friends in London learned last night of his serious condition, but was very reticent when questioned aboutit. Thereisa similar attempt to conceal Mr. Manning’s con- dition as there was when he was taken ill at Washington last spring. Itis now recalled to mind in American circles here that Dr. Z. T. Sowers of Washington, one of the best phy- sicians there, predicted that Mr. Manning could not stand an ocean voyage and that if he persisted in going over would not return alive. THE WAR SCARE. Public opinion had begun to settle down to the conviction that there was to be peace this year in Europe. But now, even some of the most conservative havetheir doubts on the subject. The shadow of a war cloud is again showing on the political horizon. The danger point, as usual, is Russia. It was believed that the Czar would be so disturbed by the Nihilist conspiracies as to give up all thought of war. But now it is asserted that M. Katkoff’s party is insisting on war as a political necessity. It is reported that the Emperor does not think the plan wholly unadvisable. M. Nelidon, the Muscovite Ambassador at Constantinople, has assumed a somewhat hostile attitude towards Turkey. He reproaches her for not paying the balance of her war indemnity which is still due to Russia, and taxes as mendacious, her alleged want of money, since she is able to find funds to order from Germany large quan- tities of guns which she does not require. Turkey, it is said, has but one thing to do in order to avoid quarrelling with Russia, and that is to intervene in Roumelia, in which case Russia would be able to occupy Bulgaria. THE BULGARIAN MUDDLE. In the meantime there is a fresh candidate for the Bulgarian throne. Prince Ferdinand of Coburg having definitely refused it, Prince . Oscar of Sweden is now spoken of, and in connection with his candidature the pro- ject of his marriage with an English prin ‘cess is now mooted The combination has but a small chance for success, for Russia always keeps her own candidate, the Prince» of Leuchtenberg, in reserve. There is little doubtin the diplomatic * world that a complete Crown Prince of Sweden. understanding has been arrived at between France and Russia. It isnot a treaty, but merely a counterpart of the bond of tripple alliance already signed by Germany, Austria and Italy. According to the Franco-Russian agreement France would only interfere in the Bulgarian question if Germany attempts to back up Austria in the matter. As the position of each separate power becomes more defined it is noticeable that Russia and Austria continue to arm. One is therefore tempted to inquire if the assur- ances of peace given on all sides are as sincere as they were thought at one time to be. THE CASE OF M. CHOUFFAT. London is greatly interested in a remarkable case of protracted sleep. M. Chouffat, a French commercial traveler, after a lively night of conviviality returned to his hotel one week ago yesterday. He has been asleep ever since and all efforts to wake him have failed. He has been visited during his sleep by all the noted physicians in London. Yesterday he was seen by Drs. Carter, Betvoer, Sir Wm. McCormick, Dr. Keyser and other med- ical men who tried various experiments on him, The room having been darkened, a lighted candle was held close to the sleep- ing man, whose eyes were opened by Dr. Carter. Ontheeyes being first opened the pupil was found to be slightly diverged, but on the light being held closer they came to- gether and stared steadily at it, Dr. Carter then examined them, as is always done in cases of this kind, and found that all the ves- sels, both veins and arteries, were very small. He could see the vessels distinctly, but could not get the dise, although this would make no alteration inthe result of the examination. The vessels were simpiy all contracted and small. During the operation the eyes filled with water and closed by themselves as though affected by the light. Further experi- ments showed that both sides of the body were alike in their condition and that the cataleptic condition is stronger in the limbs than in the trunk. Wednesday afternoon Chouftat was rather excited. His attendant took notice of what he said. He always talks about money matters and occasionally of Dr. Charcotand of his hospital at Paris, but he does not answer questions. He speaks like a person who is dreaming and sometimes laughs. The following bulletin was issued yesterday: The patient is almost exactly in the same state as on Sunday, but the pulse is stronger. The night was quiet, and the patient took some fluid nourishment every two hours. His temperature is quite normal. This morning continued observation shows that this case is one of hysterical lethargy with cataleptiform and hypnotic pneumonia.’’ 5 A telegram has been received by Dr. Keyser from Dr. Oharcot who attended Chauffat in France, saying thatthe man is subject to hys- terical attacks of sleep followed by dumbness.

The Strike Reaches the Proportions of a Dead Lock at Last. The striking stove moulders of Union No. 10, have for some time past been trying to compromise with the manufacturers. A few days ago the molders offered to return to work if the bosses would give them an im- mediate advance of 10 per cent. This the firms refused to do, but offered instead an advance of 5 per cent to begin at once, and an additional 5 per cent atthe end of two or three months, if the trade would warrant it. The men would not accept this offer, and the manufacturers then sent ina letter stating that inasmuch as their offer was refused, they also withdrew their offer of some time ago of a 10 per cent raise on June 1. The molders replied, saying that as all their offers had been refused, they now withdrew their offer of a 10-per-cent advance to begin at once and fell back on their orig- inal demand for a 15-per-cent raise of wages. The principal officers and committeemen of Stove Molders’ Union No. 10 were seen by a Post-DISPATCH reporter this morning and stated that a new phase had been reached in the strike situation. It fact, the say, a new j All their offers in the wayof a settlement have been refused, and all hope of compro- mise is lost. The men are now more deter- mined than ever, as they say all honorable means have been tried by them with no re- sult. It is now 15 per cent or nothing, The men on the strike are receiving their regu- lar allowance from the International Union— $5 to single men and $7 to men with families, They say the Manufacturers’ Defense Associa- tion is now at work against them. A FATAL SHOT. A Schoolboy Accidentally Kills a Playmate at Hannibal, Mo. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. HANNIBAL, Mo., April 1.—This forenoon an accident by which a 10-year-old boy lost his life happened at St. Joseph's Academy, in this city. One of the pupils, named Eddie Burns, had a small pistol loaded with powder and a single ball, on the play- grounds. When the Sister who had this room in charge saw the weapon, she told the owner to throw it away. Before doing so he discharged it out into the . The ball struck Holman Ray, ason of A, W. Ray, drugatst, in the abdomen and killed him atonce. No blame further than that of carry- ing deadly weapons can be attached to young Burns, as the killing was evidently accidental.

Tittmann, the Public Administrator, has raised in the Probate Courta question of some importance. In his capacity as Public Administrator he entered two motions to- day seeking to revoke the orders of court ap- pointing Gen. Albert G. Edwardsthe admin- istrator of the estate of Patrick Grogan and John Dockery the administrator of the estate of Isaac Braden. He alleges that the orders of the court in both instances were improvidentiy made. Inthe case af Patrick Grogan, he died intestate, leaving no heirs in the State. Inthecase of Isaac Braden there are no heirs in the State, except minors who are incapable of administering the estate. The Public Administrator contends that it is his sole duty to take charge of each estate under such circumstances, and that the court erred in appointing the other gentlemen. There can be but one Public Administrator in this city. In the case of Patrick Grogan, an estate was left valued at about $25,000. The deceased was for many years an employe at the Sub-Treas- ury in this city, and the court appointed Gen. Edwards as the most suitable person to ad- minister the estate. Abused and Vilified. A suit for divorce was filed in the Circuit Court to-day by Mrs. Maggie Walter against Charles Walter. They were married on the 23d of July, 1870, and lived together until a few days since. Mrs. Walter complains of various indignities to which she was subjected by her husband, rendering her condition intolerable. He humiliated her in the presence of other eople and made use of the most shock- ng language at all times. Frequently in the presence of others he caused her deep * — and shame by uttering cruelly false charges of improper conduct. Mrs. Walter further alleges that her husband was in the habit of coming home intoxicated at least once a week and raising a disturbance. He whipped his wife without any provocation, and for one of these assaults he was fined in the police court. One child was born of the marriage. The American Sign Company. A suit has been entered in the Circuit Court by William H. Stevenson against John R. Far- rar and Albert B. Metcalfe to recover judg- ment on a protested note for $300 and interest. The note was executed by Farrar as President of the American Sign Company, and bore date September 20, 1884. Before maturity the com- pany made an assignment for the benefit of its creditors. No Compensation. The jury in the Probate Court summoned to pass upon a claim filed by Nicholas Hahn against the Abeles estate for personal attend- ance returned a verdict in favor of the estate. Thetestimony chie showed thatthe only service rendered to the deceased was of achar- acter which any friend would perform in the case ofa blind man. He was led by the hand on his walk to the synagogue. A New Packet Company. The St. Louis & Tennessee River Packet Company was incorporated to-day with a cap- ital stock of $40,000, all paid. The shares are held as follows: Isaac T. Rhea, Nashville, 100 shares; James Kogen, Waverly, Tenn., 100 shares; J. E. Massengie, St. Louis, 100 shares; Geo. W. Murra „St. Louis, 50 shares; Leml. H. Hill, St. Louls, 50 shares. Notes in Court. An attachmeut suit was filed to-day in the Circuit Court by the St. Louis Cooperage Company against the Lincoln Insuranco Com- pany of Lincoln, Neb., to recover $1,000. Letters of administration have been granted to Julia Ann Porter on the estate of Samuel D. articles of increase of capi 000 to $60,000. The assets are quoted at $50, aud the liabilities at $1,000.

TABERNACLE TALK, GLEANINGS IN THE FIELDS OF RELIGIOUS ENDEAVOR. The End of Lent—Easter’s Upon the Hills— Shaare Emeth’s Ticklish Position—Dr. Niccolls to Tackle the Elder Question— Sunday Subjects. Next week is the last of Lent, Easter Sunday coming on the 10th. To-day is the seven dolors of the Blessed Virgin. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday and will be observed with the usual ceremonies. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are feria days, and then will come Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday, ushering in Easter. All these days are full of penitential duties and wil! not be forgotten by the faithful. Liberal or Orthdox— Which? The Hebrew community of St. Louis is watching with absorbing interest the condi- tion of affairs at Shaare Emeth Temple, which have taken such a sudden turn the past week. When Dr. Sonneschein left it as pastor last October it repudiated the asser- tion that it was not a liberal church, an exponent of advanced Juda- ism. These denials were strengthened by the appearance in the pulpit of Messrs. Furth and Bush in lay addresses. It gradually grew to be the common belief that Shaare Emeth was still as liberal as ever. But last Sunday this belief got a bad blow when Mr. 4 Marcus Bernheimer was elected on the board in place of Mr. Augustus Binswanger. Mr. Bernheimer had taken vehement exception to the liberal views expressed by Mr. Binswanger in nis lecture of a few weeks ago, and his election over Bins- wanger is considered to be a triumph for the orthodox portion of the congregation. The liberal element, on the other hand, deeply re- gret that such a construction should be put upon the vote, but they admit that no other view of the case can be taken.

March Shows the Greatest Tobacco Re- ceipts—Carelessness at the Custom-House. The month just closed was the biggest in respect to Internal Revenue receipts from tobacco of any month in the history of the local revenue office. The figures of all re- ceipts for the month were as follows: Lists, $105.01; beer, $104,654.50; spirits, $157,- 881.20; cigars, $11,627.85; snuff, $270; tobacco, „693.94; special taxes, $914.75; oleo- margarine, $26.82. Total, $543,674.07. The tobacco receipts have only been ap- proached 0 two other months, September, 1886, when the receipts were $251,598.32, and September, 1885, under Collector Sturgeon’ 8 regime, when $251,029.90 was taken in. This showing gives Collector Barnum the two most productive months. The special tax sale of licenses for the fiscal — of 1887 began in Collector Barnum’s office day, and will continue through May. All manufacturers of and dealers in liquor, beer, tobacco; oleomargarine and such articles are required to renew their licenses. There was a good crowd of all nationalities at the license counter this morn- ing. The unusual feature of the sale was the rush for oleomargarine 32 ten retail dealers gettin the to sell bogus butter. Their privilege is — to extend over the month of April, for which time they have to pay but $. They will sell till Mav Jas an experiment, announcing to- day that they were a little doubtful as to tho prospects of doing a good trade in oleo. The fact that a city election campaign is in full blast can be easily told by those who! frequent the Post-office lobby and expectto find some attention displayed by the custodian of the buiiding to the abuses ofthe privileges of the floor. The lobby has become a great rendezvous for gentlemen whose only occupation is to ‘‘stand inside and look out.’’ This last hard work they find a reason for doing now as the hoisting of the big stone blocks on the Odd-Fellows’ building opposite is a very interest- ing thing to watch. Groups of idle men with hands in pocket and air of leisure are seen about the doors at every hour of the day, and the occasional passage of the watchman has no effect. The broad stone window silis are utilized as chairs with amazing complacency. This is quite a change from the condition at the lobby under Collector Whitney. Then people were kept moving on by the vigorous Capt. 5 and no loafing was per- MONEY. = New York, April 1, 11 a. m. — The stock market was firm at the opening this morning, first prices being from % to %& per cent above * s clos ng figures.

How Its Owner Was Disappointed in the Measurements of the Scotch Thistle— McCormick and the Boston Clab—Bet- ter Game for Ike Weir—Sporting News and Base Ball Chat. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. NEw Tonk, April 1.—Mr. Oliver Iselin is a disappointed man. Believing, as almost every other yachting man believed, that the canny Scotchman who was building a yacht to chal- lenge for the American cup, would attack the New York Club where it was weakest and send a yacht which would, according to club rule, come into the second class, he provided a yacht of the second-class size expressly to meet her, and his yacht is now so far advanced that her launch will take place about the 10th of May. Of course she will be too small to sail against the Thistle. There is not the slightest doubt that if the Scotch gentleman could have been assured that the New York Yacht Club would only have named against their boat a yacht of her own size, they would have much preferred to have built a 70-foot craft. But there was the doubt in their minds that perchance a first-class yacht would be named as the competitor, and in that case their entry would have been over- weighted. So they could not afford to take this chance, and they have built the Thistle for the first-class. Club men say that they could have safely trusted THE NEW YORK YACHT Club to give him a fair race, and that had the Thistle been a 70-foot yacht only a craft of her own size would have been entered against her. Although Mr. Iselin despairs of a match with the Thistle he has already secured a match with the cutter Bedouin. It is to take place in the latter part of June and is to be twenty miles to windward outside the Hook, and for the novel stake ofa silver pint pot filled with gold dollars. Neither Mr. Iselin nor Mr. Rogers, the owner of the Bedouin, know how many gold dollars it will take to fill a pint pot and neither is to know until the pot is won, when it is altogether probable that Mr. Rogers will be painfully aware how many it has taken. A correspondent of the PosT- DISPATCH visited City Island r and inspected Mr. Iselin’s new yacht, and the conclusion ar- rived at was that she was quite good enough tor anything of her length in this country or in Great Britain. She is to be called the Titania. Sheis designed by Mr. Burgess and in her general outline resembles his old pro- ductions, the Puritan and Mayflower. She is, however, an improvement on all these yachts. THE FINE LINES of the bows of the Mayflower, which is where this yacht differs from the Puritan, are repro- duced in the Titania. Garboard and keel run into eachother so imperceptibly that it is difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins. Evidently there is so much rise to her floors that the center- board may be dispensed with at will, so that her greatest draft isa trifle abaft her longitudinal,center. The forefoot rounds in a graceful curve to the cutwater and with but a trifling rake. Aft the rake of the side-post is decided, and is greater than in any former Burgess design, the yacht be- ing a much longer one. She 18 built throughout of mild steel, the frames of angle steel reduced to the last degree of lightness consistent with the necessary strength, and for any otherthan a boat de- signed solely for speed they might be con- sidered too wildly spaced. Throughout her whole construction there is not an ounce of superfiuous weight.. The center-board trunk is thin steel andthe board is of yellow pine. The joiner work is of white pine throughout. The companion way, skylights, etc., are of mahogany but made very small. — — — PITCHER M’CORMICK, The Alleged Dicker With Bo ston—Anson’s Opinion. The dispatch announcing the purchase of McCormick by the Boston Club declares the price paid to have been $3,500. At the time of the Kelly sale the announced price was $10,000, aod there was no way of telling what the real price was. So it ‘‘went’’ at$10,000. But there is a way of telling something about the real price paid for McCormick. About a month ago aciub in the American Association was dickering with the Chicago Club for the re- lease of McCormick. Spalding’s price was $500. It was accepted, and the only League club that objected to McCormick’s transfer from the Leagueto the Association was New York. These are facts known, and are capa- ble of proof. Then New York dickered over McCormick, and Spalding’s price was still $500, and it prevented his League partner, Day, from getting McCormick. Day was will- ing to — $200, but Spalding wanted $500. Now oston through Mike Kelly's efforts, buys McCormick, certainly at no more than $500, and perhaps less. That price is multiplied by seven and made ublic. It serves to tell the real price paid for Telly. It was $1, It is hard to tell what can be Boston's idea in the dissemination of such news. It disturbs the players, adds more of the unhealthy vapor of inflation to the air surrounding the game, and generally handi- caps the management of every club. And for what? Simply the giving of a reputation for liberality to the Triumvirs of the Bos- ton Club—Soden, Billings and Conant—which they are known not to poasess.—/[Uleveland Plaindealer. Concerning the sale of McCormick, or his alleged sale, rather, Spalding says: ‘‘I have not yet had a direct offer for McCor- mick—only a little nibble—and he bas not been released. What will be done in his case Ican’ttell at present. Anson does not want me to let him go. As a matter of fact, the only trouble between McCormick and the club has been a difference of opinion between him and me as to bis habits. Ansonisand always has been very partial to ‘Mac,’ and wants him this season. It is pretty safe tc assume that McCormick will not be released as long as Anson says he wants him. Base Ball Briefs. Anson thinks Darling one of the best catch- ers in the League. To-day is Aprilland the date on which all the contracts signed by the Browns go into effect. Caruthers, Latham and Hudson have not yet reported. The Board of Directors of the Brown Stock- ing Club met this afternoon at Sportsman’s Park and gave the members of the club their annual lecture for the season. President John B. Day of the New York Club has challenged the Brooklyns to aseries, three or five games, with the Giants, under any of the following conditions: The club winning the series to take the total receipts. The winning club to take the receipts atthe close of each game. The receipts to be divided equally between both clubs. The receipts to be divided among the players winning the series. The receipts to be paid at the close of the series to the mayor of the city whose club wins the series, and by him divided among the public charites of saic city in such manner as —— 8 of said winning club may elect. The Indianapolis Journal endeayors to ex- plain the difficulties encountered bythe or- ganizers of the new club in that city as fol- lows: ‘*But few af fe are aware of the amount of work the directors have done to successfully establish the club. They have encountered difficulties on every hand, all of which they have overcome. The financial problem had hardly been solved until their trouble with some of the players under reserve began. It is suspected that 2 in St. Louis, and perhaps Kansas City, who were tant chngpeni when Indianapolis secured the franchise are responsible for this embarrass- ment. It is also charged that Spalding ot Chi- o, who released several of his men and sold Kelly under the conviction that he could secure Glasscock, and perhaps Denny, and thereby restore his team to its former con- dition, was much put out by the action of the League. i Weir and Clark. The coming match between Ike Weir and Willie Clark, Arthur Uhambers’ protege, is creating unfavorable comment among experts in pugilism in this city, especially since Satur- remarks a Boston Journal. The ‘‘Spider’’ pretentions to the -weight cham- qe ets as „big. little’’ bitious. For that ing, Tommy with either of whom he can get a fight toa finish. ' While Clark is scarcely of the third-class or- der. Murphy, Harding, Martin Ne and others have easily deteated him, and now another heretofore unheard of boxer, Lou Ero, gives him a lesson with the gloves that has sent his stock way down in the estimation of judges. From the latest reports it is believed that Olark will not care to go on with the Spider match. A gentleman who was in New York with Weir, and attended the exhibition at the Rao- quet Olub, says thatthe Boston boy received a perfect ovation from the members, some of whom told him they would find him money to make a match against uny man of bis class in the country. 123 ee Fought Sixteen Rounds. Touxdsrowrx, O., April 1.—Shortly before daylight this morning Reaben Hargate of this city and Edward McDonald of Brooklyn, N. ., with a few friends, met in a barn west of here and had a ave mill for $200 a side. The contest was accorning to the London prize ring rules, with small gloves. Sixteen rounds were fought, when McDonald claimed a foul which the referee refused to allow and Mo- Donald declined to continue the fight.

Bert Scheller, the wrestler, who was downed by John Connors in Allegheny City last Mon- day night, saysa Chicago paper, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon. While in Pittsburg Scheller called on Dominick McCaffrey, the heavy-weight, who fared so badly atthe hands of a serub coaiheaver at the Theater Comique, Philadelphia, three weeks ago. He says that Dominick isa victim of insomnia in its most ex- aggerated form. The pugilist also manifests symptoms of heart trouble, his soft, flabby flesh being covered with dark red blotches. Scheller tried to get him to come West, but was unsuccessful. Dominick still hopes to win back the laurels he dropped in Philadel- phia, but the chances of his doing so seem rather slim. Regarding his own defeat, Scheller says that it was a case of simply to thy cross eyes cling.’’ Connor’s eyes having been set in his head with a corkscrew, the Chicago man could not tell by looking into his opponent’s face whether he intended to get a grape vine lock rafters of the building or half Nelson on the ring. In wilderment Scheller acted on the defensive, but was soon floored by the great strength and Lancashire locks ofthe English champion. The Chicagoan admits the prowess of Connors as a wrestler, but is of the opinion that Lewis is just as good a man, When asked it he would enter Parson Davies’ tourney Connors said that he would not. He was 1 to wrestle the winner, however, providing he came to Pittsburg. Scheller thinks a eross - exed mee is aboutas invincible as John L. Sul- van. —, . PIGEON SHOOTING, An Interesting Match Between England’s Champion and J. H, Brewer. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, April 1.—With bright skies and not too boisterous weather for good work the first great pigeon-shooting match between England’s champion, W. G. Graham and J. H. Brewer, the champion of Pennsylvania, took place yesterday on the Jersey City Heights Gun Club ground at Marion, N. J. The match wasfor $250aside, 100 pigeons oach, thirty yards rise, Hurlingham rules. It was one of the best contested matches ever shot. Brewer, who had been on a sick-bed for some time, was not fully recovered from his iliness, but his deadly first barrel and the con- fidence of his supporters made him a favorite soon after the start at odds of 100 to 80 on him. The Philadelphia contingent was in good force and backed theirman heavily. When the match was over their pockets were de- pleted to the extent of nearly $10,000, while the Jersey backers of Graham were struggling hard with the lead of silver coin and greenbacks they had to carry home. Brewer led off, kill- ing his first bird; Graham did the same. They tied on the thirty-ninth bird, Brewer having led up to that oint. After the first fifty had been shot at the score stood: Brewer, forty-four; Graham, forty-two. In the next fifty Graham tied his opponent on the nineteenth bird, and, after missing two birds, made the remarkable score of thirty- nine straight ‘‘kills,’’ missing his last bird. But the match was won. Brewer fell off a little at the finish and lost the match by two birds. Brewer killed with his first barrel much more frequently than Graham. The latter, although it was not necessary at times, used his second barrel forty times. Brewer used his on thirty- two occasions. The return match will be shot at Pastime Park, Phitadelphia, April 7, under the same conditions. Graham killed eighty- nine birds, missed eleven; Brewer killed eighty-seven, missed thirteen birds.

TWO AMUSEMENT ENTERPRISES MADE OF BORDER MATERIAL. Nat C. Goodwin Produces His New Comic Opera, Big Pony’’—Modified Success of the Piece—The Plot and the Perform- ance—Sailing of the Wild West Show for England—Incidents of the Start. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPatcu. NEW YORK, April 1.—Nat Goodwin let loose his ‘‘Big Pony’’ on the stage of the Bijou Opera-House last night, and avery lively ani- mal it proved to be. It is the first production ofa new comic opera, the music of which was written by E. I. Darling. A. C. Wheeler, the librettist of ‘‘Big Pony,’’ has departed alto- gether from the general run of comic opera, and it is a most refreshing change. It is alto- gether in the line of satire on conventional society customs. Ittreats ofa bevy of young Castilian maidens -in a Mexican village who are delighted when Big Pony, ‘‘the gentlemanly savage, the chief of the Um- bilicas, appears on the scene and interrupting the festivities in honor of the approaching marriage of De Filibusto’s daughter announces that he will take the girl to his reservation and there introduce the fierce and war-like customs of the wild East. He then sings a song, Our fathers were a wild and unconquerable race, And they murdered with a rare and most inimitable grace. The act ends with the departure of every- body from the reservation. THE SECOND ACT sbows the girls and savages in a canyon where Inez’s betrothed tries to treat with Big Pony for the ransom of the maidens, hoping to change Mexican dollars for trade dollars and thus make 27 percent. The trade is made after Big Pony is shown the consequence of abduct- ing the chorus to his reservation. The ar- rival of United States troops ends the act, but too late to capture the girls, who are taken by Sancho to a monastery. The third act occurs in the monastery, where Big Pony sweeps down upon the girls. He has discovered the humor of the trade dollar, he forgets his politeness, and a wild scene en- sues. Then the soldiers appear, intro- duced as monks by Inez. Inez is rescued by Lieut. Arlington, after which the“ Four-o' clock Tea is introduced. Then Big Pony receives a dispatch from Grover“ calling him to Wash- ington so as to consult about the surplus. The music is more ambitious than we are accus- tomed to hear in this kind of work. It is tune- ful throughout, and Mr. Darling has not been reminiscent in his air. The monks’ chorus in the last act is a gem. There is also a pretty melange“ or Mexican dance and a very pretty duo, while the cowboys’ song is very unique. There is also a number of patter songs. The orchestration is most ingenious. Nat Goodwin created a furor when he appeared in a full aress suit and a black wig, which was parted in the middle andthe hair plasted down on his head. He also wore moccasins. He entered fully intothe spirit of the part. Butto the close observer it might be seen that his heart was notin the play. It is rather hard to simu- late mirth whena deep sorrow is pulling at one’s heartstrings. Perhaps many in the audience remembered his late bereavement, and when in the ‘‘Four-o’clock Tea’’ song he stumbled inghe words and after the middle of the song hab died away, he muttered, ‘‘That’s where Il should be,’’ the sympathetic applause must have reminded him that there were many persons who felt deeply for him. MISS LILLY GRUBB as Inez looked as charming as ever, and the artistic rendition of her music called forth frequent commendation. Miss Suller intro- duced a very pretty dunce, and afterwards sang a charming song. Ed Goodwin as one of the cowboys was very funny. His make-up was also very funny. Stuart Harold, who has a well-cultivated baritone voice, made a hit in Sancho, and his singing was atreat. The chorus showed the result of careful training, while the orchestra was fully up to the requirements of the occasion. The setting was magnificent, that of the second act,a canyon scene, being loudly applauded. The second act fell off somewhat in interest and 2 to have been cut, not judiciously either. This, however, can be easily reme- died. When the people in the cast become more accustomed to their parts the opera will be a gO. Taken asa whole, and consider- ing that it was the first night and also the cir- cumstances attending the presentation, it was a most gratifying success. Big Pony, al- though not a lean horse, bids fair to make a good long race. 8 —_— A GREAT WATER TEPEE. Buffalo Bill’s Wild. West Show Sails for Merry England. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu.

As she swung past the end of the pier 634 American citizens hurrahed a farewell, at which the Indians said Yacow’’ many times with loudness andin shrill tones. The Wild West show was well on its way to London, Two hundred and twenty-five horses, buf- faloes, deer, elk and bears were boxed up in narrow stalis on the main deck. The steerage was fullof Indians, the intermediate cabins loaded with Mexicans and ordin cowboys and the first cabins with the bosses of the show and smart men and women who had a good chance to go cheaply to Lunnun, ye kneow.’’ When the vessel had passed the Romer Beacon the Indians were mustered together. There were 112 of them, including such distinguished gentlemen as Walking-Buffalo, Give-Away- Horse, Rock-Man, Spider, Stands-Up, Kills- First, Iron-Good- Voice, Kills-Close-to-Lodge, Hairy-Bird and Flies-Above. When they had been well counted they squatted around the steerage and sanga song consisting of infinite prolongations of the simple word ‘‘Woob.’’ At Sandy Hook 121 of the Wild West’s friends climbed down to the tug and shouted ‘*good-by’’ to the men on board. Five stowaways also were fired off the steamer. As the vessell parted the grinning Indians swarmed aftand said some more ‘‘Yaeow’’ farewells. As the tug steamed towards New York a young man began to hop up and down after the fashion of an Indian war dance. Young Mr. Iron-Good-Volce saw him and danced in reps So the whites and reds arted.

DETECTIVE CLARE’S BAD LUCK, A West Virginian Unsuccessfully Tries to Clean Out New York Sawdust Men, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New Yorkg, April 1.—Jacob H. Clare of Poca- hontas, Va., is 26 years old, robust and ambi- tious. He tired of farming in 1886 and went to Charleston, W. Va., where he joined the staff of the Eureka Detective Agency. He read the killing of the sawdust man,Tom Davis, in New York Aug@st 28. There would be much glory, he argued, in capturing sucha swindler red- handed and exposing his system. Soa fort- night ago, when a relative of Clare received a Green Goods’’ circular, he resolved on coming to New York and have a little fun with the swindlers. The circular — to come from Lewis Adams, 118 East Thirteenth street. The victim was to go to the Broadwa Hotel, and the 2 signal was B 75.’’ Clare arrived at he hotel Monday evening. having raised $175. Notifying Adams of his arrival, he waited for the man with the pass word. The appoint- ment was kept by a hook-nosed, shabby little man, Then he talked freely about ‘‘our goods,’’ what an excellent imitation they were, etc. Clare allowed him to believe that he had to invest. Then the man announced himself as Charles Adams, brother of the principal, and then harried Clare out to meet Lewie. In a saloon at Fourteenth street and First avenue Clare was introduced to a cautious and exquisitely attired person who congratulated him on his good fortune and good sense, and expatiated on the ‘‘article’’ as his brother Charles had done. Clare was urged to drink but declined. He accepted a 5 cent cigar which be threw away when they parted with the agreement that Clare was to remain seciuded at his hotel until 2 o’clock when he would be taken to where negotiations would bear substantial fruit. The messenger was Brother Charles, and trying to in- spire Clare with the terror he feigned, he led him by way of Broadway, and Twelifth street to a saloon in First avenue, where Lewis turned up. Clare again declined to drink, but said he was ready to take the stuff, and was again told stories of the keenness of the New York detectives. He was on the point of spoiling the affair several times by laughing at the boldness of the swindle, but he allowed himself to be escorted out, and walked around until his head was in a whirl, and he dived into a cellar which he thinks was in First or Second avenue, near Fifth street. Inthe celler wasa stove, atable and three chairs. After ‘‘tilin the lodge Adams and his brother proceede to make their grand coup. Lewis took from the table atin box and from it produced a large package of what he said was the stuff he dealt in. He invited Clare to ex- amine and count it, and Clare found that there were $7,500in genuine 51, $2, $5 and $10 bills. He wasto havethe money for $300, and felt tempted totake out his revolver and hold the swindlers prisoners until an officer came. He, however, allowed them to go through the entire performance. He aided Lewis to put $7,500 in a little black satchel and then, after a second, it was closed and fastened up, the „changes were rung, but he could not see how the satchel withthe money in was ex- changed for the one with only wads of paper. The agreement was made that brother Charles was to go with him to the Adams Express office, ship the satchel to Pocahontas, give him a receipt and take the $300. Clare and Charles started and at Lafayette place Clare thought the denonement time had come, so he seized „Brother Charles“ and shouted police.“ An officer heard the story and arrested both for fighting, and at the Jefferson Market Police Court he made acharge of disorderly conduct against each. Clare told his story.
