Father O' Leary was ordained in May; 1873, oF Archbisho enrick, and was made assist- ant at St. John’s for six months. Then he was at Carondelet one year and from there went to Mexico, Mo., where he remained six 8 He was next at Burusvilie a year, and ben went to DeSoto, where he was a pastor five years, up to last fall when he resigned. For a year before the strike on the Gould sys- tem he edited the St. Louis Catholic World and was an active supporter of the Knights of Labor. He gained some notoriety by woes | 4 the Congressional Committee in this — Cogan he thought the use of dynamite to t wrongs might be justifiable in some — He is a great church builder, having erected the churches at Mexico, Fulton, Martinsburg and DeSoto, and completed the One at Crystal City. MR. ED RYAN, a member of the committee, and one of the gentiemen referred to above, denied in toto all Father O’Leary’s statements about trouble n the parish. There had been no warfare with ather O’Leary, Mr. Ryan said, because it took two to make a quarrel, ‘and Father O’Leary could get nobody to quarrel with him. He said thatthe committee had- made the only statement necessary to the Arch- Dishop, and that on that statement Father O' Leary had been removed, which was sufficient vindication of what had been done by the committee, and Sufficient proof that the committee were not in the wrong. As to what Father O’ Leary Said further he did not care, ashe had no de- sire to have further or in fact any controversy | with him. Mr. J. Ryan, anotherof the gentlemen re- ferred to above, said he had no statement to make. He did not want to answer Father O' Leary, whatever the latter might say.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 4.—A singular difficulty has arisen here as the result of the real estate boom which has prevailed for three months. Some time since a syndicate o capitalists purchased a large tract of land al- most in the center of the city calied Stone Fort, which, on account ofits rocky and un- even condition, has been allowed to become negro tenants, at least houses having been put up for their occupancy. These 200 families, nee the new purchase, have been notified to vacate this prope at once and will have to leave. There is not a vacant house in the city that they can get and Chattanooga is now con- fronted with the problem of what to do witn 200 families who are turned out of house and home. The purchasers propose to improve 2 4 level it off and make it available for business and residences. The poor people will have vag off during thecoming week and what to with them nobody knoys. In — og other Fe ortions of the city where prop- has heretofore been occupied oy poorer — ses and which property has passed into new hands, the tenants have also been ordered off to make room for improvements. It is safe to gay that during the coming week, if these no- tices are insisted upon, there will be hundreds of homeless families in Chattanooga, with no homes that they can rent. A Reunion Ot sensible and money-saving people will be held this week at the Globe, 705 to 718 Frank- un avenue, to examine the grand line of pobby suite from $7.50 to $15, which they arantee to be sold for nearly double the oney elsewhere.

New YOrK, April 4.—There was a great exo- dus of dramatic and of operatic talent from New York yesterday. Within an hour of each other two special trains carrying the National Opera Company and Sara Bernhardt’s Com- pany left the Grand Central Depot. One o’ clock was the hour setfor the departure of the special train engaged by the National Opera Company, and for an hour before all the car lines leading to the depot were crowded with chorus girls in long dresses and musicians. There are 300 people in the company and when they all got into the waiting-room of the New York Central road there was hardly room to move. Every one of them had one or more friends come to see them off and French, German, Italian and Spanish were heard on all sides until the po- licemen, who has answered questions until his beard is gray, Said: ‘‘I’m glad they know where they are going and don’t ask me ques- tions In that baiderdash.’’ It was perfect pandemonium for a while, and the amount of kissing and handshaking that was done would have made the admirers of the coryphees across the footlights envious. Twenty min- utes before the train left the principals began to arrive. Mme. L’Allemand drove up with her maid. She is going to Syracuse, her na- tive town, and will give them ‘‘Pauline’’ as only she can. Ludwig and his wife went through the hand-shaking ordeal. Mile. Juch flitted about everywhere. Whit- ney, Stoddard, Bassett, Bertha Pierson and Miss Van Zanten each held a reception of their friends? Conductor Welksey said ‘‘all aboard!’’ but the only way he could get the talkative artists into the cars was by signaling the engineer to pull up about two feet, and then there was a stampede. Finally, when everybody was on board, the train pulled out of the depot. The 500 friends sent up a cheer. Man- ager Locke waved his adieux from the platform and a hundred hands waving handkerchiefs were seen from the windows of the ten cars and the National Opera Company was offon its Western tour. Mr. Locke said that the season had run , 000 abead of his expectations and that Mrs. Tharbur would meet the company ina week. They play to-nightin Albany, then , tor San Francisco. BERNHARDT’S FAREWELL. There was a different gathering at the other end of the depot where Mme. Bernhardt was to take her departure. The company arrived early. Marcus Mayer was us attending to everything. Mme. Bernhardt was accompanied by her son Maurice, and her maid, who is quite an ancient lady. Mme. Bernhardt wore gold plush trimmed with fur. When ‘she stepped out of her carriage she smiled and bowed to the big crowd on the sidewalk who saluted her, and then took her son’s arm and followed Mr. Mayer, who con- ducted them into the waiting-room. As she passed down the row of people the men ruised their hats and the ladies smiled on her. Mme, Bernhardt in return smiled and bowed her thanks all the way, and her son took off his hat and carried it in his hand in acknowledgment of the compliment paid to his talented mother. After she reached her car she threw aside her wraps and said to the POST-DISPATCH corre- spondent.that she had énjoyed her season here wonderfully, and especially the compliment paid to her by the dramatic press. She chatted brightly for a few minutes and said she was glad to see that the New Yorkers occasionally had a bright day, and just as the train was starting heid out her hand and said: **Au revoir; mais ce n’est pas adieu. Her son did not accompany her, but will re- main here for a day or two. Mr. Grau went on with the company and Mr. Mayer followed last night. Mr. Maver said the season at the Star Theatre had yielded the largest receipts of any single dramatic engagement ever given in this country, having run several thousand dollars ahead of Henry Irving’s celebrated en- gagement at the Boston Theatre. Attractions of the Week. **Fortune’s Fool,’’ the play in which Louise Rial appeared at Pope’s last night is highly colored and has its share of improbabilities and somewhat strained sentiment, still it pos- sesses interest and several situations are emotionally strong. Itisa play in which the French adventuress, who is thirsting for re- venge and who nearly destroys entirely the life of aman who apparently wants to be good, even if he does not thoroughly succeed in being so, plays the leading role. The play has been here before, and there is, therefore, little need for description of it. Miss Louise Rial is fitted tor the role of the French actress, Coralie Lorial, who is the human tigress of the piece by nature andact. Sheis a woman of fine personal appearance, with a mobile face capable of 3 passion effectively. She has, moreover, a distinct individuality which is peculiar and with which she invests everything she does. She succeeded last evening in — essing her audience with her power, and in holding at- tention from the n to the end, not- withstanding the faults of her play. The com- edy of the piece is a species o ‘burlesque, which is thrown bodily into it—thatis, the greater part of it. The cast was only fairly my oo Will S. Marion as Jack Thornton, he hero, had the merit, at least, of quietness, altnough he was not markediy strong. The rather over- strained part was against him. Olarence Heri- tage as Richard Doracot, the villain was fairly effective, while Robert Rattles had a broad, semi- -burlesque, comedy part, which he treated after its kind ina way that amused the audience to some extent. Miss Marie Hartley took the part of Lillian Wil- marth nicely, and Miss Lillian Richardson was clever asLouis. The audience received the performance with evident appreciation, calling Miss Rial before the curtain after each act in which she appeared. 5 * Jennie Calef opened her engagement at the People’s in Little Muffets’’ in which her ability to portray the heydenish and mischiev- ous, but true-hearted girl was shown to ad- vantage. The play has little merit outside of its being a vehicle for the star, and is fre- quently lacking in genuine comedy of a really bright and entertaining sort, but its place is supplied by Miss Calef who kept the audience in good humor by her tricks and saucy ways. She introduced a number of songs and dances which were entertaining and caught the fancy of the house. Miss Lillian Calef was clever as Filletta and Beile Ainsworth, while Harry T. Leonard took the characters of Molly Mahony and Dinah effectively. The rest of the cast was weak. ‘‘Little Muffets’’ will run until Wednesday night when Miss Calet“s new play, ‘‘An American Princess,’’ will be put on for several nights andthe Saturday mat- fair the lence.

Thesale of course tickets for the Stoddard lectures at Entertainment Hall opened this morn at Balmer & Weber’s music store. The lectures will be delivered in two courses exactiy alike on alternate nights, the first lecture to be given on the evening of April 138. The second week ot Adonis““ began at the Grand last night with an excellent audience, and the performance was received with laugh- ter and applause from beginning to end. r.

Henry E. Dixe ice aalen 4 ne aes Neston in a carr age and accompanied him to the restaurant where they were met — Mr. Dixey, and several hours were spent pleasantly. Mr. Norton was in excellent spirits and bore the drive with few signs of fatigue. He willtakeadrive again with the same gentlemen to-morrow afternoon, should the ay be pleasant and will attend the Wednesday matinee of ‘‘Adonis’’ at the Grand. Prof. Tripp will give a descriptive series of lectures shortly, on the subject of France and Europe since 1848. These lectures are de- scribed as graphic 41 of the great events of Europe, with personal reminiscences of the principal actors, and will include a statement ot tbe Eastern question, which is now 1 the peace of Europe. The lectures will be illustrated, and have been in- dorsed by the beat authorities of the principal cities in two continents, where they have been delivered. Full particulars will be given ata later date. Something notablein the way ot dramatic roduction is promised in the engagement of r. Lawrence Barrett in ‘‘Rienzi’’ at the Grand next week. The role of the last of the Roman tribunes is oon- sidered by many as the greatest of this eminent tragedian and the production is described as superb. The tragedy was writ- ten by Miss Mitford in 1825, preceding Bul- wer’s novel, and was first brought out at the Drury Lane Theater in 1828 with Charles Young as Rienzi. It was afterward produced in New York. in 1829 by the elder Wallack at the old Park Theater. Two carloads of scenery, pet eg and costumes, and an immense auxiliary force are used in the production, while in the church scene a cathedral choir of madrigal boys wiil take part. The banquet scene is said to be a gorgeous picture of Bac-. chanalian revelry. WEDDING GIFTS. Beautiful new designs in SOLID SILVER WARES, VASES.

Democratic Apathy Makes the Republican and Labor Parties Confident of Victory. CINCINNATI, O., April 4.—The weatner is pleasant and the election is proceeding quietly with a full vote. The Republicans claim an easy victory inasmuch as the Democrats exhibit great indifference to the fate of their ticket in the strongest Democratic wards. Labor men construe Democratic apathy into sym- pathy with their party, and are predicting the elec- tion of their ticket. any manufacturing establish- ments have clused to enable their men to vote. The labor ticket is is reported to be receiving many votes. Not for Sale. Mr. Wm. Edenborn writes to deny that he sold cer- tain property og his to the Missouri Pacific Rallroad. and that Martin Grof has sold other property adjoin- ing Mr. n to the same road. He also states that Wm Pp corner of Gratiot and Twenty-first streets for $16,000. or for one-third that amount, and that the transfer of his property to Mr. Edenbeorn is on record.

The salary ttached to the position is $2,500 per annum d the appointment is for four years. The Central Committees. Chairman John McFall of the Republican xecutive and Campaign Committee stated his morning that the committee had collected bout $5,000, and was well fixed, financially, or to morrow’s contest. The Republican City Central Committee will meet this afternoon and evening, and the Democratic Central Committee will meet this evening, to make the final preparations for the election. That Troublesome Precinct Canvass. As previously stated in the PosT-DISPATCH, the Hendricks Association, for a purpose which has not been divuiged, decided last week to keeparecord of the names of per- sons whose votes are refused by the judges of slection to-morrow because they are not registered. The Recorder having re- ‘fused to furnish certificates 0 any kind to the 4, who have been striken off of the registration lists, the Executive Committee of the Hen- dricks Association at a meeting held yesterday .orning instructed the ward committeemen to ‘~~ yesiggants, whose duty it shail be to polls and note the names of e ballots are refused. That this 8, so obtained, may play an rt in probable contests is not and his friends all through his e Hendricks Association have 38 upon an opinion given by ral Boone that the precinct thorized by law and apparently the conclusion that the the expenses attaching to ation with a representative of e Post-DisPpafou at Jefferson City * n. Boone stated that his opinion had been ven merely as a lawyer and that it in no relieved any State official who acted sander it of mee responsibility attaching to the course which he might pursue. ‘‘M opinion,’’ said he, ‘‘is only the opinion of one man and should be taken as such.’’ General, will the city of St. Louis be com- pelled to pay for the precinct canvass?’ „Well, that is a question which I don’t care o go into. When Iwas asked for the opinion it Was desired that I should enter into that subject also and say where the money was to come from to pay for the canvass, but I care- fully refrained from touching upon it, and have said nothing about it. Jean say this much, that while the Re- corder of Voters unguestionably has the right to go intoa 8 where he may think there is fraud and revise the registration, yet it must not be supposed that his action is final er the law, and that his mere act of strik- a person off the registration lists deprives of his vote. Every citizen can go into and test the question of his right ote. There are a number of very tty law points involved in this great tion, and while I don’t wish to express an nion on the subject yet, it is not improbable tthe Recorder may experience some little iculty in finding a fund on which to draw the payment of his canvassers.’’ ithough the Commercial Club hrs come to rescue of the Recorder and advanced necessary to pay the the Recorder has stated after the election was over and he had ‘e time on his. hands he thought he could a way to convince the city administration the city should pay. As Comptroller pbell is strongly opposed to the Recorder view of the question a law suit between fRecorder and the city will be required to “te it. 3 rsons 4M A“ = The Tickets.

Patrick Monahan has received the endorse- ment of the Plumbers’ Protective Association. Tom Wand, speaking of Ed Butler: One of ns must die; we can’t both leave this world alive. Mr. C. D. Comfort went to Kansas City on private business Saturday night, but will re- turn to-day. Col. Dave Armstrong: Win? Well, why shouldn't we? By ——! we'll sweep the field, sir; we will sir! Delegate John Waters says he is glad the newspapers have forgotten he is in the race for re-election. Uncle Joe Stern has only to defeat one of Dick Lancaster’s minions in the Twenty-fifth Ward, and his suceess is assured. John J. Daly: My only connection with pol- itics is through printing and stationery con- tracts. I draw the line at contracts. Friends of the Mayor claim Street Commis- sioner Turnerisa Mugwump Democrat; but Ed Butier can’t see him in that light. O. O. Rainwater: ‘‘Why, sir, a Democratic victory is s, sure that a wayfaring man even though he be a fool, might see it.’’ James J. Butler, the rising statesman of the First Ward, says Recorder Williams is a ‘fchromo.’’ The sentiment is inherited. Jimmy Brennan of the Sheriff’s office prophesies that Phil Rohan’s name will lead all the rest on next Wednesday morning.. N. O. Nelson: Weil, I admit that brewery trip was an ill-advised affair. This is my first — however, and l’ll know better next time. Ed Fox depends on the dissentions in the ranks of the Democrats of his ward and the solid support of the Harrison Wire Works to put him on top. Clem Creveling labors underthe impression that the street car men have selected a slate for their employes to vote and is very much worried in consequence. Chris Schawacker’s advisers claim that he is not receiving a hearty support from Charley Schweickhardtand Dan Ready, the leading Re- publican workers in the First Ward. His Honor, the — * and Big Mike Sullivan ot the Twenty-fourth have become very inti- mate since the election of Wm. Dolan as Cen- tral Committeeman from the Fourth Ward. Geo. Stroup says he was for Dietrick Norden, until Pat Cassidy, backed up by Grif Prather, Seth Cobb and some of the silks in the Twenty- first forced his delegation on the opposition. The maintenance of French Marketis given out as one of the planks in the platform of Capt. James A. Guion in his candidacy for election tothe House of Delegates in the Third Ward. Ralph Willis in speculating onthe future, uts it this way: E. A. Noonan, regular emocratic candidate for Mayor, N. O. Nelson, regular candidate of the Republican party for Mayor. Al Hercules says if they would organize meetings and introduce the candidates to the voters, as was done in his ward, the Demo- crats would foot up a larger majority on elec- tion day. The declination of a nomination for the Council by E. 8. Rowse is understood by the Republicans to mean that he will be a proba- ble candidate for Mayor on the next Kepublic- an ticket. Paddy Brennan has not succeeded in having the Republican Central Committee take Erich Lundt’s name off theticket for the House of Delegates in the Eighth Ward to make room for his own. Mr. Riefling of the Democratic City Central Committee has been unable to fill his House of Delegates ticket, The Democratic statesmen ofthe Ninth Ward regard the nomination as empty honor. Junge E. A. Noonan: With the help of Héaren, the confidence born of a clear con- science and a sufficient number of votes, we’ Ill pull Phil Rohan through at the head of the winning ticket. The friends of Jimmy Moore are determined that so brignt a star shall not be blotted out of the political firmament. They want him to run for the School Board in October against Director Brady. Collector Freeman Barnum: AsIsaid on a previous occasion, ‘‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.“ Ihave too much trouble in my own little kingdom to meddle with poli- ticians cn the outside. Collector Henry Clay Sexton: This man Billy Baggot, oh, how we did sit down on him in our ward! Now he’s trying to get even by helping out this reform administration up at the Recorder’s office. Billy Rex: Bob McLaren and I are laying low for the next Congressional campaign. When John M. Glover comes out again we'll organ- ize a club in the Twenty-second Ward that will scare Nat Frank to death. Postmaster Hyde: As Postmaster I am proud ofthe efficiency of my corps of letter - carriers; but asagood Democrat I’m sorry they indirectly assisted in striking some 4,000 names off of the registration lists. Central Committeeman Reber, from the as- sistant sub-committee of the Republican Cen- tral Committee, is busy about town in the dis- charge of his duties. Even the candidates that have a sure thing ante up reluctantiy. Chas. F. Vogel: The vote south of Chouteau avenue will come up solid against Devoy and Stone. I may be mist&kKen, but I believe that Devoy’s experience willbe somewhat similar to that of Joe Temple in the last campaign. Some of the_ politicians at the Post-office corners yesterd: y were unkind enough to in- quire after the whereabouts of the promi- nent Democrats who protested against the Grand-jury investigations into the election frauds. Geo. Brueggeman, with about 200 Republican majority, will have a hard fight against Tom Wand in the Sixteenth. Tom says the people up his way want street improvements and new alleys, and he proposes to see that they get all they want. Capt. Dan Able: The foaming, seething and boiling waters of the tempestuous political sea, possess nocharms forme. There was a time when I mignt have ‘‘poured oil on the troubled waters;’’ but now, alas! Othello’s occupation is gone. D. P. Dyer: These trials will not end here. We shali get every man who was implicated in the election frauds of last November before we getthrough here. We know who Egan’s five confederates were, and we're getting the proof on them now. Henry W. Ewing, Clerk of the State Supreme Court, was at the Post- once corners yester- day morning making arrangements with some of the candidates for a fishing excursion on the V in anticipation of the unpleasant result of the election to-morrow. It is said Ed Fox did not push for a piace on the Republican 8 ticket, ab he does not wish to sign for m the low-salaried because Ed has too much sense waste his energy in trying to attain the unattainable. Grif Prather: Let me see—Mayor Francis was u friend of John M. Glover, while I stood with the Senators, and yet Francis made me Chairman ot e mocratic Convention Bul Swift—Hum!

The boxes don’t amount to anything n themselves and there is no reason why the Board of Police Commissioners should not ac- cede to the Recorder’s request to permit the police to take them to the polls. O. P. Walbri is satisfied with the state of affairs existing in the Seventeenth Ward Dem- ocratic camp. The friends of Waters, the Democratic nominee for re-election to the House of Delegates and the friends of Egan, who is making an independent race, are fight- ing for. their respective candidates, ile this dissension continues Col. Walbridge hopes to poll the respectabe vote of the ward, to- b er with the full party vote in his race for e House of Delegates on the Republican ticket. Councilman Stone is charged by the Board of Public — 4 — with obstructing legislation looking toward improving the wa- ter supply. Councilman Devoy rejected the boards’ estimates on the cost of street sprink- ling as ridiculously high and Councilman Bell in a political convention, expressed his fears that a Republican majority inthe Council would not ‘‘oust those tellows in the Board of Public Improvements.’’ Altogether the board and the above-named Democratic law- makers do not appear to hold one another in very high esteem. There seems to be an impression, said Mr. M. J. Murphy, that there is a league be- tween the Recorder of Voters and the Jury Commissioner, and that any one who registers thereby lays himself liable to summons for jury duty in the courts; consequently a great many do not register, This is a great mistake, but these men who fail to register and to vote will be found to be the very men who raise the loudest outer against official corruption, which results from their failure to register and to judiciously exercise the right of the ballot.“ State Senator Ketchum: I am inclined to think that when the Legislature meets again a compromise will be arranged on the sub- ect of railroad legislation. Neither the fouse nor the Senate bill of the regular ses- sion will come up again. I thimk they have been disposed of for good. The railroad as- sessment of $50,000,000 seems to bea thorn in the side of the country members. This will probably be raised to $75,000,000, In the mean- time the interstate commerce act goes into effect and will make a good deal of the law- making at Jefferson City unnecessary. Mr. James Bannerman, the Democratic nominee for the House of Delegates in the First Ward, has boxed his high silk hat. He was prevailed upon by his friends to go back to his more familiar stock of soft hats, for fear his constituents might fail to recognize bim. While Mr. Bannerman was in Washing- ton recently a St. Louis man approached him and — himself said he couldn't help remarking the striking resemblance between the gentieman and Mr. James Bannerman of St. Louis. ‘‘If you wore a slouch instead of a silk hat, sir, said he, I would be willing toswear you were my friend Bannerman of St. Louis. Thos. J. Lynam. Thos. J. Lynam, whois a candidate for the House of Velegates in the Tenth Ward, isa young and successful business man, and he represents the better element of the Demo- cratic party. He has beena Democrat all his lite and a resident of the ward twenty-eight ears. Mr. Lynam started from nothing and s now worth between $25,000 and $30,000. He is well qualified to fill the position for which he is a candidate and there is very little ques- tion of his success to-morrow. The taxpayers ofthe ward will benefit themselves and the people at large by voting for Mr. Lynam. The business community hus no better representa- tive on the Democratic ticket than Mr. Lynam.

The Governor ha- now disposed of all but about a dozen bills which he is still considering. Among these is Kansas City police bill. Two years ago he vetoeda similar bill on the grounds of its unconstitutionality. He is favorably disposed to the bill, and will probably sign it if satisfied as to constitutional objections. epreseutative Albert J. Moore of New. Madrid, has sent in his resignation on account of ill health. Ihe Governor has ordered an election to be held on the 19th inst. Before Judge Noonan. In the Court of Criminal Correction this morning Eliza Jefferson, Joe Laharty, and Wash Thomas had a preliminary examination onacharge of assaulting o kill Jack Richeson with a knife.

The Circuit Judges Meet in General Term— Decisions of Interest by Judges Valliant and Lubke—The Jury Commissioner— Matters in Probate—A Point for As- signees—Features of Litigation To-Day. A suit for divorce was filed in the Circuit Court to-day by Mrs. Laura Greer against Leander Greer. They were married on the 12th day of October, 1875. Mrs. Greer alleges that she was at all times a good, faithful and affectionate wife, and did everything in her power to promote the comfort and happiness of her husband. She alleges that he, however, did not carry out his part of the contract, but onthe contfary did everything to make her wretched and misera- ble. She alleges that he whipped her repeat- edly, leaving the marks of his cruelty upon her face and body; that he called her vile names and uttered false charges against her at vari- ous times, rendering her condition intolera- ble. There were no children by the marriage. The April Term. The Circuit Judges met this morning in gen- eral term for the opening of the April term and handed down the re-appointment of James L. Carlisle as Jury Commissioner for the term of four years dating from May 1. The action of the court was announced in the Post-DISPATCH on Saturday. The ap- pointee received the five votes of the court and the vote of the Judge of the Criminal Court. The reappointment was the only matter disposed of at this session of gen- eral term and Judges Lubke, Valliant and Dil- lon remained on the bench to examine appli- cants for admission to the bar. The appoint- ment of official stenograpbers will not be made until the next term as the law does not yet tuke effect. A Baptist’s Bequests. The will of Johanna Gruenitz was admitted to probate to-day. The testator desired to be buried without anyfuneral pomp. A legacy of $100 is left to the son William. The executor is directed to pay a note of $100 for the benefit of the German Baptist Church. The following bequests are made: Baptist Theological Seminary, Hamburg, : Woman's Baptist Foreign lissions, $25; German Baptist Missionary In- ion, $25 ; German Baptist Orphanage, $25; German Baptist Theological Seminary, Rochester, N. I., $25; German Baptist Mis- sionary Union of Noith America, for home missions. The personal estate is left to the friends of the testatorin the German Baptist Church, and John H. Greve is appeinted ex- ecutor. An Assignee’s Liability. Judge Valliant to-day rendered a decision in the suit of the Mechanics’ Bank against P. B. Little, assignee, involving the question whetheran assignee, under a voluntary as- signment forthe benefit of creditors is liable to the process of garnishment at the suit ot one who is a creditor of a creditor of the assignor. The Court holds that bythe assign ment the assignee doesnot becomethe debtor in the peace of the assignor, and asto the creditors e bears only the relation of trustee of the property. The process of garnishment will not reach the assignee at anytime before a dividend is declared, but after that he be- comes personally liable to the creditor for the umount of the dividend. To that extent he is liable as garnishee. The Crawford Lease. Judge Valliant to-day rendered a decision affirming the decision of the Probate Court iu the case of Isaac Maclay and others against Mary E. Crawford; administratrix of W. H. Orawford. A contract was made by W. H. contract it was releasod when the lease was transferred with the approval of the lessor and recognition of the assignee as the tenant. New Light on Mechanics’ Liens. Judge Valliant to-day sustained a demurrer inthe suit of Geo. F. Dreste against Peter Rumbor and others. The court thinks that if the law governing mechanics’ liens is cor- rectly declared in the case of Henry vs. Hinds the petition presents astrong case for equit- able relief. Without intimating, however, thatthe decisions of the Kansas City Court of Appeals are not binding on the St. Louis Circuit Court Judge Valliant thinks it proper to say that the decision above named places the law of mechanics’ liens in alight in which it had not before been generally viewed by the legal profession in this city. The only express remedy given by the law for the en- forcement of rights under the mechanics’ lien is a cast-iron statutory remedy which does not yield to the more flexible process of equity jurisprudence. Judge Lubke’s Judge Lubke to-day rendered the following decisions in cases taken under advisement: Mary Ann James vs. Cook Avenue M. E. Church, R. M. Scruggs and Samuel Cupples, damage suit for injuries by a fall from the front entrance of the church; demurrer over- ruled andplaintiff given ten days to file secu - rity for costs. Thos. P. Heffernan vs. People’s Railway Company and others; demurrer to amended petition overruled. Motions for new trial overruled in the fol- lowing cases: St. Louis Paint Manufacturing Company vs. Geo. S. Mepham; Herman Hahlo vs. A. B. Mayer et al.; Edward A. Knipper vs. Southern Railway Company; August Gruetz- ner vs. Ande Furniture Company; Wm. B Addington etal. vs. John Cullinane etal ; Milwaukee Harvester Company vs. Hamilton Machine Company; August Heman vs. Robert A. Payne; M. Kaufman vs. H. F. Harrington; Thos. Kennah vs. Gottlieb Eyerman. Decisions. Notes in Court. The Probate Court adjourned on Saturday until next Monday morning, April 11. Judge Woerner will sit for about ten days and wind up the business of the term. Judge Valiant to-day in the suit of Wallis and others against John G. Priest and others holds thatthe Union Trust C ‘mpany, as the guar- dian of Dr. Bull, is entitied to collect the rents in question. The Pozzoni Medicated Complexion Powder Company entered an answer in Court to-day to the frame contract suit of the Parker- Ritter- Nichols Stationery Company. It avers that Samuel Moffett was not authorized to make a contract of the character alleged, and that in any case it was cancelled by the non-delivery of the frames within the specified time. The Court of Appeals will be in session to- morrow morning, when another batch of decisions may be expected. The Court will then take up the call of country cases. Will Adjo@rn Both Days. There was a little tussle to-day on Change over the question of adjourning on election day and Good Friday, in which the boys got away with the older heads. At 12 o'clock President Gaiennie called the Exchange to order and announced that a petition proper“ signed. en presented the 0 asking request The two adjournments were separated bv request. and H. Smith then offered an amendment that th change adjourn to-morrow at 1 o'clock, instead of all day, but this was defeated, and votes taken upon adjourument both to-morrow and next Friday were : he younger members shouted loudest and hung on to their ayes“ longer than did those who were opposed to adjournment.

The members of the Police Department are now engaged in selling tickets for a musical and literary entertainment to be given at the Music Hall of the Exposition Building on the 2ist inst., for the benefit of the Police Relief Fund. The entertainment promises to de a big financial success, as already about a thou- sand tickets have been sola, and they are being disposed of at the rate of a tew hundred 4 day. Prof. McDowell and the West End Quartet have the matter hand and promise to get up a most interest- ing programme, This style of entertainment the department thinks is much ag ema to ball, as there is less difficult keeping out objectionable characters.

The latter company bas had plans made by Kivas Tully. They propose to tear off the huge mansard roof and instead build two complete stories the front and side elevations being carried up on the same plan as the building is at present. The height of the building will not be materi. ally increased, as there is in the mansard a great deal of wasted room. In making the alterations the fifth floor, which is now the Urst below the mansard, will be reduced from 15 feet to Ilie feet. The sixth floor will be 11% feet high and the seventh floor eighteen feet high. Two tiers of rooms on the north side of the building will be torn outand converted into alight court which will improve the interior of the present very dark building very much. As the two stories to be added will increase the weight of the building rows of iron columns wil run up from the second story where the strong walis cease. The building as it now stands is fire- proof for two stories but there is considerable wood above that floor. In the reconstruction this..eod will be replaced with iron and the buiitxng will be made thoroughly * throughout. The present elevator will be removed and two new elevators will be placed inthe eastend. They will be modern affairs, to be operated alternately. New steel boilers will be placed in the ement, but will de separated by a stone wall from the stalr-well and elevator shaft.

Cleveland a Stickler for Fashion. B Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4.—A prominent haberdasher who sells the President his neck- ties ana gloves and other furnishings, said to-day that he never knew before that the President was such a stickler for fashion. Lou have no idea how particular he is to be in the fashion,’’ said this gentleman of cuffg and collars. ‘‘Why, he is one of my most precise customers. He insists upon having everythin, just in style, except one thing, and that is his collars. He uses one size, No. 18, and one that sets out from the neck. These are made especially for him, but in the other little matters of clothes and furnishing, he is Lag | particular. You will not believe it, but it was the day after Mrs. James Brown Potter’s debut in London, whenI got an order from my Illustrious customer for a air of gloves, lavender color, just ike those described as worn by the Prince of Wales on that memorable night. I sent a white vest along, and as it has not come back, I expect he intends to keep it. I hear he is go- ing to the minstrels next week—he always oes, you know, and ou need not e surprised to see him appear in lavender kid gloves and white vest. Ihave nothing to do with his boutonniere, or would have made him up one like that worn by the Prince.’’ All the time Cleveland is trying to secure delegations all over the country itor the next National Convention, he is getting more and more particular about who sees him when he goes out. Mr. John Tod. By Telegraph to the PostT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. O., April 4.—Mr. John Tod of Edinburgh, who is now in Washington and will remaln a day or two longer before going to visit his brother in Iowa, is the same who bought at the Stewart picture sale Church's Niagara, for the Royal Academy at Edinburgh, and bid on Meissonnier’s 1807. He said to-day that it authorized to do so he would have bid higher on Rosa Bon- beur’s ‘‘Horse Fair’’ than on the Meissonnier, but in what he did he was simply car- rying out his instructions. Mr. od came to this country to bu machinery for his paper manufactory in Edinburgh, as he says he can buy that suitable for his pur- ose better in the United States than in urope. He was driven about Washington yesterday by Senator Beck, whose soul yearns toward the citizens of Scotland, his native land. Mr. Tod also dined with the Senator. The latter offered to take him to-day to see the President, but Mr. Tod said ‘‘No;’’ that as he had not business with the President he ought not to intrude upon him. If,“ said he, I should say when I go back to Scotland that I went to see the President of the United States when I had no business with him the folks would say: ‘Oh, John Tod, ye were toadying around the big men there; but if I tell them I drove around the city of Washington with a real live United States Senatorand dined with him, they would say: ‘John Tod, now you are lying. The National Bank Cases. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4. -A decision was rendered by the United States Supreme Court to-day in the important bank-tax case, en- titled the Mercantile National Bank of the City of New York against the Mayor, Aldermen and the commonalty of the Cityof New York and George W. McLain, Receiver of Taxes. This is one of the thirty-five suits brought by the national banks of the City of New York againstthe municipal authorities of that city to restrain the collection of taxes assessed upon the shares of stock of said banks. The question raised by the case is whether or not the system of laws enforced in the State of New York is in opposition to section 5,219 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, which requires that the taxation of shares of national banks shall not be at a greater rate than is assessed upon other moneyed capital in the hands of individ- ual citizens of said State.’’ This court answers that question in the negative, and affirms the decree of the court below in favor of the State. Judge Maynard, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 4.—Judge May- nard continues to act as Second Comptroller ofthe Treasury and will not assume his new duties as Assistant Secretary until Wednes- day next. The delay in making the change is due to Mr. Maynard’s desire to dispose of cer- tain important matters pending in the Second Comptroller’s office. e is, pusbing them as much as possible, as he realizes the necessity of promptly relieving Secretary Fairchild of that part of his duties relating to the customs branch of the service. Nothing is settied in regard to the Treasurership or the Second Comptrollership. The Department Investigation. By Telegraph to the Posr-DIsrATOR. WASHINGTON, D.

THE CHICAGO BOODLERS. The Special Grand-Jury Addresses a Me- morial to Gov. Oglesby. CHIcaGo, III., April 4.—Before the special Grand-jury closed its inquisition Saturday they prepared a lengthy memorial to Gov. Oglesby, which was entrusted to States Attor- ney Grinnell for safe delivery. The memorial relates to the government of the county and shows at great length how the corrupt gang that have controlled county boards for years past have found it possible to rob the tax payers, and then asks the Governor to use his influence with the Legislature’ to have a law enacted to cover the deficiencies. One thing needed, accord- ing to the memorial, is a statutory provision for the appointment of all county employes. As the law stands now the commissioners themselves and, of course, all the other offi- cials who are chosen by the people, are the only legal officials of the county, and thus are the only ones who can be brought to task forthe crime of bribery. The wardens of the yarious county institutions and the army of employes under them have no statu- tory existence, and the law against bribery does not, therefore, reach them. We found,’’ said a Grand-juror, in talkin ofthe inquisition to a reporter for a loca paper, that the wardens, McGarigie, Varnell and even Frey, were implicated in innumerable cases of bribery. We had proof against them —proof that was incontrovertible—but we were unable to indict them for the crime, be- cause the law, as the State’s Attorney con- strued it, did not cover their cases. Now, for instance, Robinson, the grocer, would send a consignment of goods to the hospital with a bill or list, showing the weight of each article, and the store-keeper or warden him- self would reweigh everything, check up the grocer’s list, and then certif the bill to de ;. even thoug everything was found to be light from 10 to 50 per cent of the weight charged for. Robinson, in his confession, shows that he was doing this sort ofa thing all the time, and also that he was paying the wardens to O. K. his bills. We considered that the wardens were as guilty of bribery as the grocer, but legally they could not be held for that offense. However, we had a recourse on the conspiracy law. That proved to be broad enough to coyer everybody from the mightiest man of the gang tothe meanest trooper in the ranks.’’ Were any recommendations made relative toachange in the composition of commis- sioners?’’ Tes; we saw it would be next to impos- sibie to get good business men to have any* thing todo withthe position of commissioner as long as the present method of payment is in vogue. It is not enough, for the responsi- bility is great and the duties exacting. We recommended an increase in salary in keep- ing with the responsibility of the position. TASTE AND BEAUTY. How and Where It Is Exemplified in Lovely Wearing Apparel. There is one essential quality which enters into all personal adornment or decoration of all Kinds. It is absolutely necessary to a pleasa ing result. With it a bonnet or a garment may be made of mean material and et may be pretty, withoutita bonnet may be made of the costliest material and yet be ugly. Asitis absent or present it makes a woman’s dress dowdy and displeasing or neatand charming, Itisthe quality of taste which is indefinable and subtile, but is yet most potent of all, There is one place isthe — to-day that may be said to be the best exemplar of its value in the city. It is in one of the business spots and yet is 8 instinct with beauty and taste. This is the millinery department of Penny & Gentiles, the enterprising firm on the corner of Broadway and Franklin avenue. It is a gem in its way and has been so pronounced by the best judges; ladies whose taste in millinery and dress is considered unques- tionable. The department has been thronged ali day, and there is but one opinion and this is that it is the loveliest display that has ever been seen in this 1 To-day is the opening and every variety of novel and beautiful ob- jects in spring hats, bonnets and trimming ares is, artisticallly in the department. t is not only thatthe materials themselves are rich and beautiful, but the arrangement is so tasteful and harmonious that the impression is that of a mass of biending colors relieved vd special arrangements of flowers, plumes, other trim- mings and hats and bonnets already trimmed. The large apartment is well-lighted and is bright and beautiful. If anyone is in doubt as to what is the latest and daintiest novelty, Mrs. Hess, who is at the head of this department, can soon set all doubts at rest. She is known as a lady of rare taste and her hats and bonnets are gems of their kind, One of the newest and latest street hats is the Dunlap, which is simple and yetelegant. It is trimmed in silk braid and rosettes of cream and stone color. A charming bonnet which is shown is the Princess, a dainty and pretty combination of gray and pink, trimmed in band embroidered steel beads and veivet lace. A welcome bonnet called the chic, but really the reform!“ bonnet flat in shape, and has flat trimming of broad sash ribbon. Theater-goers will welcome it. The orcupine straw is another pretty and odd hing, while for misses the English turban embroidered in pearis, is very tasteful an pretty. Nearly everything runs to beads and passementerie this spring. These are only a tew of the host of objects displayed here. In the suit and wrap department, which is very attractive, there are also some beautiful novelties. One of the latest and prettiess shades in both millinery and suits is Batten- berg green, a very pretty and delicate color. Here, too, passementerie is the an everything is beaded. The lovely dress sets in all colors are trimmed with beads to match. Wraps, too the latest shapes are trimmed with beads.

In op-+ posing this, however, he did not wish tobe understood as casting any slur upon the aspi- ration for imperial federation, although he was free to say scheme was of a hazy and doubtful character. Still it contained materials out ot which prac tical results might be obtained. It should d borne in mind, however, that England was able to emulate Germany in her manner conducting imperial affairs. The English Government must be satisfied to allow eseh portion of the empire to conduct its own affairs in its own locality. Two forms of union existed—one mili „ the other a customs union. He did not think a customs union among all the parts of the British Empire im- possible. A union for the imperial defense was of common interest. The impression pre. vailed that the question of defense was entirely an Imperial matter, because Colonial dangers might sult from the Imperial policy. speaker admitted that the extention ofthe empire might require that portions of it might incur danger. England's policy was, however, essentially pacific, but the danger of war arising from the policy of some other country shouid induce the colonists to make their defenses efficient. The distant parts of the Empire were within the sphere o possible aggression. European natio were showing increased desire colonial and foreign possession. solemn and reasonable sense of in and security which the colonies had in shield which the Imperial Government over them, should convince them that it to their interest to contribute men and m to the mutual defense. In addition to Lord Salisbury said he hoped that the con tion between the Colonies and England become more real, and the spectacie would presented to the world of a vast em founded not on force or subjection, but sympathy and resolute co-operation. Afghanistan. THE AMEER ALARMED. LONDON, April 4.—A Lahore paper announces thatthe Ameer of Afghanistan is seriously alarmed over the discovery that a number o? native tribes are combining against him, and has appealed to the Indian authorities for help and advice. The Afghans declare that the country has been secretly sold to the British, and that the railway to Candahar has been sanc- tioned by the Ameer to facilitate their advance. The fanatical element of the people is rampant against the Ameer, who has re- moved his treasure to Fyzabad, whither will retire himself it he is deteate ä satisfied subjects.

James ee ae Sons, who declare in the advertisement that they are pyrotechnists to the Royal Family one and tothe President of the United es of America. It is not generally known 135 8 2 . United States that President Cleveland as employed official pyrotechnists, and, of course, he can only need them for the ap- proaching campaign. A MUGWUMP OPINION. A mugwump correspondent of the Berliner Tagblatt has written from New York to that paper a long letter, canvassing President _ QGleyeland’s chances for renomination and re- election. This correspondent deciares that Mr. Cleveland has received every public office he has ever held through the aid and support of the independent Republicans. He has been obliged, therefore, to otcupy a neutral and judical posi- tion between the two parties, which has made him very popular throughout the country with people at large, but very unpopular with the members of the Democratic party. This idea i thoroughly elaborated, and then the Berlin “people are told that it is very doubtful whether Mr. Cleveland will be renominated in 1888. The Democratic politicians are so dissatisfied with Cleve- land could not obtain even half of the votes of the convention. He says that the Democrats are weary of ideal politics as -represented by Mr. Cleveland, and he doubts very much whether their minds will change on this subject between now and convention time. It Mr. Cleveland were renominated he thinks he certainly would be re-elected. If the Democrats set up what they call a practi- cal candidate in 1888 there will be a repetition of the close and bitter contest of 1884. RULES AT COURT. Society reproduces part of Mrs. Sherwood’s article in the New York WORLD on the sub- ject of the new rules concerning the presenta- tion of American ladies at court, and takes exception to some of the statements con- tained therein. It says: The new regula- tions were expressly framed to meet the ever- inereasing demands of Americans to be pre- sented at our court. Her Majesty has graciously flung her doors open to them and consents toreceive all respectable American women. But their number are so great that to invite them all subsequently to the state bails and ‘yneerts would be an impossibility. Hun- .reds of English women who have been pre- sented are passed over in the same way as the American presentees, and to say that the lat- ter are treated with less consideration at the English court than ladies of other countries is incorrect, to say the least.’’ ROYAL PERFORMERS. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Sweden have actually gone on the boards. The successor of the ‘‘Lion of the North’’ is Sald to be a capital actor, and his wife has played the heroine to his heroin the Royal Music Academy here.

DR. BUBTSELL SUSPENDED.. A Serious Row Between the Two Catholic Factions in New York. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPatTcu. NEw YORE, April 4.—There was a rumor yes- terday among the Catholics of the parishes of the Churches of the Epiphany and St. Stephen that the Rev. Dr. R. L. Burtsell, rector of the former church, had been suspended for ten days by Archbishop Corrigan on account of his attending the McGlynn iectures last Tuesday evening at the Academy of Music. Froma number of Dr. Burtseil’s parishioners it was learned that he did not celebrate the hol sacrifice} of the mass yesterday. Mr. Burtsell was seen last evening * the Posr-DisPATORH reporter. In answer to the question if — was any foundation for the rumor, he “somewhat curtly: 1 do not care to — rs of ecclesiastic discipline.“ ut will you deny the rumor?’’ asked the . ‘You can say whatyou please; I’ll neither deny nor affirm it Dr. Burtsell sonnel much disturbed.

The long talked-of handicap gotten up by Prof. Gehrmann of the Central Turn Hall, was run at the Union Grounds yesterday morning, and, contrary to expectation, produced some of the most exciting sprinting ever seen at these grounds. Mr. W. H. Gehrmann acted as handicapper and deserves grea credit, not only for the excellent judgment in the handicapping, but for his efforts in popularizing this important branch of athletics among the turners.

There wasalight breeze until the even- ing, but it then commenced to blow from the northeast and it was impossible to get the sail reduced quickly enough. The sea rose rapidly. By ll o' clock at night a terrific. gale was blow- ing. Whileshe was passing the Land’s End light a heavy squail struck her and she was thrown on her beam ends. The order was given to let go the jib, and the sailors were trying to get atit, when suddenly a tremendous wave came ‘over the bow, caught the mate, Whittier, and swept him aft. He was found insensible under the boat. The quartermaster, Jones, grasped hold of a heavy bell, bolted to the bowsprit, the heel of which was of solid brass. The bolting gave way and swept both the man andthe bell seventy-five feet aft, where the man was found half an hour afterwards, after having been given up as lost. He was insensible, with his head cut and his back so badly injured that he has been uable to move since. The seaman, Axel, was thrown over the windlass and had his thigh badly injurcd.

New YOrK, April 4.—A short and slender Chinaman brought an Eighth avenue car toa dead stop yesterday afternoon. Then he stepped demurely on the rear platform and looked appealingly at the conductor until that worthy opened the door for him to enter the car. His hands were entirely concealed in the flowing sleeves of his black biouse. His pigtail was wrapped about his head, and was partly concealed by a cheap derby hat. His trousers were made of blue gingham and were short enough to show to oevansage e the white cotton about his ankles. A burly Fourth street drunken man in the car expressed an unfavorable opinion of the celestial, but opined that some fun might be got out of him. He seated himself opposite and greated him with a surly nod. The China- man fixed his almond-shaped eyes on the roof of tg car and paid no attention to the over- ou, shouted the other man, my name 1 ohn; what's yours?“ „Allee samee me John, too,“ replied the Chinaman, fixing his eye on the roof. „Me other name is mith; what’s yourn?’’ was the next question. „All same me Smith, too.

MRS. HELEN X. GOUGAR DENOUNCES Al- LEGED CORRUPT FEMALE VOTERS. Two Ladies of High Social Standtig at Leavenworth, Kas., Charged With Buy- ing the Votes of Their Colored Sis- ters—Mrs, Gougar’s Card—Kansas the Battle Ground of the Female Saffrage Question. Special Correspondence of the PosT-DIsPATCH. LEAVENWORTH, April 3%8,—To-day, at a crowded public meeting hela in the interest of female suffrage, Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, the Indiana agitator, denounced the city admin- istration, officers of which are on the Demo- cratic ticket for re-election. She charged them with running hacks to carry disreputable women to the registration office and with making a canvass of the brothels. Two women of social standing, whose names she withheld, she said had been among the negro women offering them money for their votes. The speaker promised the people of Leavenworth a legal prosecution of these two ladies if the negresses would but stick to their story. Mrs. Gougar then denounced Harry E. Insley, cashier of the bank where the city deposits are made. The terms of her denunciation and its cause are embodied in the following open letter which was printed in this morning’s Times: SIn— Lou were, until yesterday, entirely un- known to me. had never heard of such a rson as Harry E. Insley untill was intro- uced to you — the following manner: After au absence of six days from Leaven- worth I returned to find mail waiting me from my home, in Lafayette, Ind., er me that One Harry E. Insley Leavenworth has telegrapbed Mr. Mell Miller of Lafayette, saying you were there fizhting him, and asking for your record and directing him to telegraph a full answer at his expense. The answer was in about these words: Her record invulnerable. A fearless advocate of prohibition and woman suffrage. If you have attacked ner you had better make your peace with her.’ Now, Mr. Insley, you maybe interested to know that Mr. Mell Milleris one ot our most reputable citizens, an attorney at law and a member of one of the oldest and most re- spected families of our county. Sir, when you telegraphed Mr. Miller as you did you knew that as — for Ihad never spoken your name. gn bag sought my record“ you did it phe like the prowling thief or midnight assassin, you might rob me of that which could not enr ch you, but could make me poor indeed, and stab me to death under cover of the dark. I denounce you asa being—I will not say man—unwörthy the re- epect ot men or women, and a ft tool and minion of that element in society which seeks to destroy all that is pure and good in indi- vidual or national life. Sir, by your disrep- utable methods you acknowledge that you dare not meet me in open debate, before the people of Leavenworth and openly defend the men and cause that you espouse. I am not surprised at this course of yours. Ihave met the friends of the Whisky Alliance before, and am well acquainted with you all. By this at- tempt at malicious slander you have proven your claim of belonging to that element that does not hesitate at any crime that may be done under cover to destro the ad- vocates of prohibition an woman suffrage. It is such as you that have, from first to last, attempted slander to weaken the influence of those who would exercise the right of free speéch; it is such as you that have laid in ashes the homes of men who have dared to sign petitions or testify tothe truth against law- breakers; it is such as you that have laid in ashes the church edifices where temperance people have con- erie and, sir, it is such as you that have id low, with the assassin’s weapon, the Haddocks of this agitation. In coficlusion, I haye this to say to you, that you may know my methods of dealing with such beings as you are. It you shall circulate any damaging reports about me, for which you have not ample proof, 1 shall bring you to the bar of justice, providing you are not ex- ecution proof. The only penalty for slander being civil damages, if I find you financtally irresponsibie—then, sir, there is manhood enough among my friends in Leavenworth to personally chastise you like the craven dog that you are, and as you de- serve. If woman suffrage means anything, it means that se sae ast disreputable methods of slander and dark deeds in political practice shall be done away with. If I am to de the martyr to teach this lesson to such men as you, I shall not flinch when the necessity arrives. Hoping that your better manhood may as- sert itself, now that you have my record, and that your influence and vote may be used to destroy the men and measures that have so far caused you to stoop to past disreputable conduct, Iremain yours, for the triumph of the home over the salo on, HELEN M. GOUGAR. Several speakers followed Mrs. Gougar, among them Col. D. R. Anthony, editor of the Times and brother of Susan B. He explained Mr. Insley’s interest in the campaign on the ground that it would be inconvenient for the bank to pay if a change in the city’s admin- istration should make a demand for the funds. ee? is a young man of 27 years and no po- litical experience. His foolish move was an individual mistake which Mrs. Gougar was quick to see and make capital of. Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, who is responsible for the present excitement in Leavenworth, and who has induced 2,700 women in the cit to register, is a woman of sturdy 2 not masculine build. She is, S years old, but her err hair adds to her ap earance of age. The face is indicative of orce rather than refinement, andisas wide- awake as a terrier's. The eye is sky-blue, restless and sharply set. The upper lip is short and fails to completely hide the teeth, except when firmly shut. The under lip is full. Thechin is round andthe jaw well set. The nose is almost straight, round on the end and fitted with thin nostrils that dilate in sympathy with the lady’s emotions. In speech Mrs. Gougar is quick, concise, caustic and saturated with humor. During her stay in Leavenworth the lady is stopping with the family of Col. Anthony. The Anthony home is a beautifal modern cottage situated on what is known as the esplanade and overlooking the Missouri River, us a Magnificently sweeping curve gives a view of it for miles, fanked by bluffs strongly sug- gesting the scenery of the Hudson. When the Post-DISPATCH reporter called Mrs. Gougar was under the soothing treatment of a shampoo, and, after a few moments’ wait, came into the library with her white hair streaming down her back like a Comanche’s, to uote her own expression of apology. iow is the PostT-DISPATCH viewin struggle? she said; but Ishouldn’t as It is Democratic in its leaning, and the ‘entire Democratic press Oppose us, just as they oppose every progression.’ Tell the Post- DISPATCH about the suffrage movement from your progressive standpoint, Mrs. Gougar.’’ „J resoived to make Kansas the battle- 71 of the question for several reasons. t was the only State that came into the Union with equal property rights for women guar- anteed in its Const tution : it had the smallest foreign population, and was the first State of constitutional prohibition. ry Wasn't Maine and—’’ ‘That was statutory; this constitutional, Then the liquor interest had encamped here and proposed to make a fight. en had endeavored to suppress it, and had brought every political element to bear exce ting Indians, criminals, idiote and women. saw that the cities control the politics of a country and that the vicious element control the cities.

Unusual interest is manifested in the elec- tion to take place to-morrow and it is ex- pected that nearly the full registered vote will be polled. Itis now generally conceded that M. M. Stephens willbe elected Mayor. The gentlemen who will serve inthe next Council can not be named with any great de a of certainty. Inthe First Ward, should S M. Sullivan remain in the field he will caphiee a suflicient number of votes, which would otherwise 80 to 0 Marse, to greatly imperil that gentleman’ s chances of success; which before Sullivan announced himself was considered assured. It is not thought that Sullivan will be able to poll enough votes to elect him, and it is believed that his candidacy will only help Haines and Cooney, either of whom is likely to be elected shouid Sullivan remain a candidate. Mr. Haines is the present representative of the ward in the Council and has a great many — 2 onagy influential supporters. It was he Cunningham who, by their votes in the Council, prevented the establish- ment of polls in opposition to the Election Commissioners, and thereby not only averted serious trouble but saved the tax-payers thousands of dollars which would have been spent in contesting the election. This service is not entirely anappreciated. In the Second Ward the candidates for the Coun- cil are Wm. Broderick, Wm. Shea, Dr. C. F. Strecker and Daniel Welker. The majority of the voters in this ward are Germans, and for this reason it is thought that Dr. Strecker stands the best chance of election. Mr. Will- iam Broderick states that the report that he was in collusion with the city administration is entirely false and was circulated by his enemies to injure his chances of success. He confidently ex- pects to be elected and desires to placé him- self on record assaying thatif he is elected —1 will try and serve the people, irrespective party, faction, or ring influences. Inthe Third ard the candidates for Aldermen are: Robert Cunningham, John Dessett, Lee Mitchell and Frank Stacey. As far as can be ascertained Mr. Cunningham stands the best show of olection. He the ward’s resent representative. Messrs. John efft, Garret Stack and Stewart McLean are the citizens of the Fourth Ward who are desirous of representing the ward in the Coun- cil. From present appearances Mr. Tefft will have that honor. The candidates for town- ship offices are too numerous to mention. Mr. Henry T. Bader, who was a candidate for Town Clerk, bas withdrawn, and his with- drawal will give additional strength to — Maurice F. Tessier, whom, it is now the eral opinion, will be elected.

HESS & CULBERTSON. SIGNING THE INVITATION THE CALL ON PRESIDENT AND MRS. CLEVE- LAND CIRCULATED TO-DAY. The First Sheets Go On ’Change—Pian for Their Distribution in Public Places— Meeting of the Congmittee of Arrange- ments Saturday Afternoon—The Ladies Formally Invited to Join in the Move- ment. The Committee of Arrangements for the Cleveland visit met at the office of Mayor Francis at 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon. There were present: Mr. Francis, Frank Gaienne, C. C. Rainwater, 8. W. Cobb, Chas. Green, Geo. B. Thompson, John S. Moffitt, R. H. Kern and Nelson Cole. The committee ap- proved the form of invitation submitted by the special committee appointed at a previous meeting. Mr. Gaiennie proposed a classification of the sheets of signatures, and that commercial and other bodies sign by their officers first and their members afterward. This idea he in- corporated in amotion which was seconded immediately by Mr. Moffitt and Mr. Cobb. Mr. Priest objected to this form because he thought some organizations might feel slighted if not called upon to join in the invitation. There were thousands of organizations in the city and it would be impossible to invite each e. . Moffitt thought there should be a syste- matic way of gathering signatures. Mr. Me- Cullagh, who was not present, had sug- gested to him that sheets for signatures should be placed in each of forty drug stores, with cards in the store-windows, calling at- tentiontothem. Mr. Moffitt offered the com- mittee a list of drug-stores and sample card for the windows. There was a general approval of Mr. Mof- fitt’s plan, but the discussion returned to Mr. Gaiennie’s proposition that organiza- tions sign the invitation officially. Mr. Gaien- nie modified his motion so as to ex- press it us the sense of the committee that if any organization desired its signature as such it would be received. After some oppo- sition to this idea had been manifested, how- ever, Mr. Gaiennie withdrew his motion altogether. Mr. Kern moved that A COMMITTEE OF THREE be appointed to designate the places where the sheets for signatures should be placed. The motion was carried and the Chairman ap- pointed the following committee: R. H. Kern, Jno. 8. Moffitt and Geo. B. Thompson. The question of an extra session of Congress in October was discussed, but it was the gen- eral opinion of the members of the committee that there was very little probability of an extra session being cailed, and even if it should be called it would not interfere in any way with the President’s proposed Western ihr. Moffitt suggested that there ought to be a limit on the time for returning the sheets of signatures. The question of classifying signatures being again brought up, Mr. Green moved that the names be taken as those of citizens, irrespect- ive of occupation. Mr. Gaiennie thought it would bea graceful thing for the officers of the Executive Depart- ment to sign as such, and then the Council and the House of Delegates. Mr. Thompson suggested adding the names of the city officials and members of the mares chants’ Exchange. Mr. Gaiennie offered as an ene to Mr. Green's motion his original idea that any organization that desired be allowed to sign assuch. The amendment was defeated, and Mr. Green’s motion adopted. _Mr. Priest moved that as Mrs. Cleveland was included in the invitation the ladies be 3180 requested to sign the invitation. There was an amusing discussion of this point, Mr. Green holding that his signature to the invitation moluded that of his wife. The motion finally carried, Mr. Green and Mr. Cobb going on record against it, and Mr. Rainwater dodging. Geo. W. Allen, who wag present offered to obtain the signatures of members of the Mu- nicipal Assembly to the invitation. Mr. Moffitt moved that the Mayor be re- quested to sign the invitation first, then the members of the Municipal Assembly and thea the citizens. Mr. Gaiennie moved that the signatures of the members of the Exchanges follow those of the members of the Municipal Assembly. The amendment was lost and Mr. Moffitt’s motion agreed to by a vote of 5 to 4. : Mr. Allen asked which Municipal Assembly was referred to and was informed that it was is on the frontof each cover. In it will be written the name ofthe gentleman to whom the sheet is to be returned. Each sheet is numbered and registered and care will de taken to have every one brought back tc headquarters. As finaly prepared to be issued, the sheets contain twenty-five lines it double column, ruied in light biue. There & a wide white margin which will be cut off io trimming the sheets for binding. It will take 2,000 of these sheets to hold 100,00 signatures. This will make the volume, with its massive binding, between two and three feet thick. The wording of the invitation wil be prepared by the special committee ap pointed for that purpose to-day, and the Gast Bank Note and Lithographing Co. will imme“ diately begin the preparation of the desiga for the invitation sheet and title page. 5,000 Fine Confirmation Suits.
