Anson and the Chieago team stepped on the field for the opening strug- gle with the Browns at Sportsman’s park. At that time a goodly-sized crowd had gathered in the grand stand and applauded the fine plays of the White Stockings as they practiced. The batting order of the Browns was as follows: THE BROWNS. Short- stop Left Field Center Field Comisxey ebene eee Foutz. eee 20 Caruthers....... ee 5*ĩd6 0 nr ese eee ee Sylvester Second Base Third Base Catcher The batting order of the Chicagos was: CHICAGOS.

They were re- ceived with a hurrah from the attendant crowd, which by this time amounted to about 5,000. O’Neil played in left field, his hand, which was severely hurt Sunday, being much better. EIGHT THOUSAND SPECTATORS. As the hour for calling the game, 3:30 o’clock, approached, the grand stand upstairs and down began to fill, and when play was called it was estimated that there were at least 8,000 people on the grounds. There was a fair sprinkling of ladies among the spectators. THE GAME. Immediately before the game Captains An- son and Comiskey tossed a coin for the um- pire, Doescher or McQuade, and Doescher was selected. The bell for play put expecta- tion and practice to an end and the Chi- cagos took the field, the Browns being the firstto go to the bat. Doescher called the captains and the pitchers of the respective teams together and gave them the necessary instructions for pitching according to the new rules, defining a balk, etc. Clarkson then stepped into the box and play was called.

METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editers.of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the POstT-DiIsPaTcu. NEW YORK, April 7.—The WORLD says: The most startling news of the day is the result of the State election in Rhode Island yesterday. John W. Davis, Democrat, was elected Gov- ernor, and the overwhelming Republican ma- jority in the Legislature bas been ground down to a small point. The Prohibitionists ran their ticket as usual, which contributed somewhat to the result, but the real explanation is found in the mighty revolt of the Republicans against the ring which has for years domi- nated the Republican party and controlled all the State offices. The fact that Republicans in a rock-ribbed and hide- bound State such as Rhode Island can be found laying aside their prejudices and voting against their party man- agers is a crowning bit of testimony to the spirit of independence which is everywhere manifesting itself. THE 8UN. The Sun says: The elections of this week also show that if the Labor party wish to make any serious demonstration toward victory, they must first spit on the red flag and then hoist the starsand stripes higher and make the eagle scream louder than any bas Aap thought of doing. In no other way can they shake off the curse of the Anarchiste.’”’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: Considering the ¢6z- traordinary efforts which have been made by the Democrats, the opponents of the probib- itory law and the mugwumps to prevent the re-election of Gov.

O. Nelson, R. A. Barret . Blair, C. ©, Allen, K. M. Steber and Others Condemn and His Methods—Very Damaging Sworn Testimony. This morning in the office of Arba N. Crane depositions were taken inthe damage suit of B. D. Lancaster against John M. Glover tor libel. The hearing was protracted. ’ DANIEL M. FROST, . father of R. Graham Frost, was the first wit- mess. He has had a legal residence here since 1851, he said, and had sgnown the plaintiff since 1858, In some respects he said the repu- tation of Mr. Lancaster was bad, - Questioned by Mr. Laughlin he said by some respects’’ he meant he had never heard Mr. Lancaster’s political methods commended, rather they ha@ been condemned and by his political friends. Who of Mr. Lancaster’s political triends have you heard who spoke ill of his politi methods?’’ asked Mr. Laughlin. 3 Every one of the reputable Democrats with whom I have conversed.’’ Can you tell any individuals?“ Alfred Carr, the Insurance Commissioner. William Baggott went to great pains to prove tome Mr. Lancaster’s bad character on the occasion of my son’s candidacy for Congress. Iwas placed inayery unfortunate position with regard tothat. When I heard an assess- ment of $1,600 had been levied 1 was very an- gry and I kicked as I had to pay it.’’ Have you heard any others say anythi about bim“ 4 =~ Dr. McPheeters, Col. Dave Armstrong, my son, and every man I have talked to on - +s * : OF 7 the subject except Senator Cabell, the only man I ever heard speak weil of him. What did Mr. Carr say?“ He said Lancaster was a — scoundrel,and ther things. What else did he say?’’ **Ishould like to ask the Court if I must answer these questions; if the information the uestions might elicit could be usedin suits or slander brought by Mr. Lancaster against these gentlemen.’’ The referee, Mr. Crane, said the questions were proper and must be answered. Mr. Laughlin then went into what Mr. Bag- gott had said. This was a very severe denun- ciation, and contained matter similar to that of Baggott’s deposition. Regarding Baggott’s credibility, Gen. Frost said he thought him as good a man as himself. He was asked what he meant by reprehensible political methods and said he meant the trading in political nominations. „What do you political methods? Well. during one of Overstolz’ cam- Paigns I was riding down town in_a street-car one morning and Lancaster was in the car. Iknew he was atthe head of an organization which — shaped our ends, and I asked him who was going to be nominated for Mayor. He told me Mr. Britton was to be nominated. I expressed great surprise at this and my friends would not believe it when I told them. But to the great surprise of every one Britton was nominated. This proved to me that Lancaster knew how to get nominations. Ihadno personal knowledge — i organization of which he was the esd. Some further testimony of an unimportant kind was elicited and then the witness was excused. , know of Mr. Lancaster’s NELSON o. NELSON, Councilman elect, knew the plaintiff. The witness made a bid last October for certain re- a to the heating apparatus to the Custom ouse. The house of the witness, the N. O. Nelson Manufacturing Co. has done several hundred thousand dollars worth of work of the kind bid for forthe Government which was The first bid on the ; profit on the first bid would have been a first rate one. The second was made because the engineer of the Custom- house calied our attention to certain things he wanted done which were not in the specifica- tions. The witness has known the plaintiff ten years, and knew his reputation politically to be bad. He could not state what the plaint- iff’s reputation was for personal honesty. On cross-examination Mr. Nelson described the work to be done under his bid, and the character of work desired which was. not in- cluded in the specifications. Mr. Laughlin examined himasto the details of the bid- ding. The examination continued on this line sometime eliciting nothing new. RICHARD A. BARRET, brother of Arthur Barret, once Mayor of the city for sixteen days, was called. Nothing was elicited from the witness and he was excused. A question as to money paid by Mayor Barret for political expenses was objected toby Mr. Laughlin, to whom Mr. Lancaster said audi- their testi- bly: Let them manufacture mony.’’ Do you mean t say this witness is manu- vers yg Mr. Glover angrily inquired. No, sir. **You’d better not or you'll get thrown out, retorted the Congressman. JAMES L. BLAIR, Vice-President of the Police Board, was -ealled. The. plaintiff’s reputation among litcians was, the witness said, ad. This bad reputation was acquired in the course of political transactions. The witness’ opinion was based upon state- ments of persons and publications in the pub- lic press that the plaintiff was connected with the Dark Lantern organization, and his name was used with that of Ed Butler, a man of no- toriously bad character. HENRY M. SNYDER knew the piaintiff and was of the opinion that Mr. Lancaster’s reputation was bad. LOUIS A. STEBER said he had taken an active part in politics for many years, but had been retired from the arena for two or three years. As a man en- ed in politics Mr. Lancaster’s reputation fe bad. the witness said. He was examined at length on this point and maintained the same position. CHARLES CLAFLIN ALLEN knew Mr. Lancaster s reputation in connec- tion with political affairs to be bad. It has been so ever since the witness knew the plaint- iff’s name. Mr. Laughlin endeavored to show that the witness based his opinion as to the reputation of the plaintiff on statements in public prints of the defendant. I have no doubt that such statements con- tributed to that opinion,’’ said Mr. Allen, **but they were not the basis of it.“ Mr. Laughlin then questioned the witness as to persons who had told him Mr. Lancaster’s reputation was „ Mr. Allen could e no names. The opinion d ormed of Lancaster was the growth of several years, and it had been formed on numerous expressions from friends and state- the papers.

Tuesday night at 10:45 o’clock a young man giving the name of Jack Guerson, and claim- ing to live at Benton Station, walked into the City Dispensary with his left arm ina sling. He said he was walking along Market, between Sixth and Seventh streets, on his way to the Union Depot to take the 11:45 Kirkwood accommodation, when a man jumped out of a doorway or alley way, shot him and ran off. A d a crow ga and doctor who was summoned dressed the but it was paining him again and ne wanted t dressed . Dr. Priest attended to it and eee tee man left after expressing a desire to | name out of the papers as he was r fora large firm. Inquiry in the where he claimed to have been oped the fact that no such occur- en piace. , a morning Father Smith of the man Catholic Onureb on the north side of Sidney street, between Ninth and Tenth streets, visited the Second District Police Sta- tion and, showing an account of the affair clipped from a morning paper, stated that he could give a correct explanation of the occurrence. A young man ot Spanish descent named Geor Carreras residing at Benton Station on the Missouri Pacific Road visited his church some time ago and formed the acquaintance of one of the ladies of the parish. They became engaged and Father Smith had the young lady break oft the engagement. After receiving the letter declaring the engagement off, the young man visited the young lady and, in an excited manner, threatened to kill himself if she would not marry him. Between 8 and 9 o’clock Tuesday night Oar- reras gained access in some way to Father Smith’s residence, 817 Sidney street, and was detected in the bath-room by the housekeeper. On approaching the room she heard a shot and found the young man in the room bieed- ing from a wound in his left arm and his coat afire. Carreras was moan- ing terribly, but was found to de only slightly injured. He feigned great pain to enlist sympathy, and was ejected from the premises. Father Smith gave the police the revolver with which the young man shot him- self, He says he had the young lady break off her engagement with Carreras becanse the latter had at one time been an inmate of St. Vincent’s Insane Asylum. The priest fears that unless the young man is arrested he will visit his church sometime during services and create a sensation. ne ‘Bho BLESSING THE OILS. Archbishop Keorick Takes Part in Two Services To-Day. Maundy Thursday was ushered in this morn- ing at St. John’s Church, Sixteenth and Chest- nut, by Archbishop Kenrick, who at 6 o’clock performed the ceremony of consecrating the gacred oils. There were present also Very Rev. Father Janssen, administrator of the Alton diocese, which, since the death of Bishop Baltes, bas secured its oils in St. Louis. Father Janssen was archdeacon, and the: ceremony being private, the only others present were Fathers Hen- nessy, Tihen and Ortel. The archbishop wearing the pallium, which he only uses on the most selemn occasions, appeared in excel- lent health, and never seemed fatigued during the entire service. The ceremony was very simple. Ou a table on the gospel side was the pontiticale and two wax candies. At the ‘*paternoster’’ the archbishop took his seat at the table. The vase containing the oll of the sick was brought up by two priests and blessed, which was done by the archbishop exorcising the oils and breathing upon them, the clergy exhaling upon them also. The arch- bishop washed his hands and continued the mass till the post communion, when he again took his seat at the table and blessed the chrism and the oil of catechumens. At3this afternoon, at St. John’s, occurred the impressibly unique foot-washing service, in which the venerable archbishop again offi- ciated with no apparent relaxation of physical vigor. He was assisted by Ver Rev. : 2 Brady, Vicar-Generai, with Father Hennessy as deacon, and Father Tihen as sub-deacon. Thirteen orphans from St. Joseph's Asylum were se- lected for the honor, which is the outgrowth of the Savior’s washing of his disciple’s feet. Father Hennessy sung the gospel, following which the Archbishop proceeded to each child in turn, pouring the water over tb ht foot. a priest holding the bowl beneath. ‘grace then dried the foot with atowel and presented a sweet cake to the orphan. The services of the day concluded witha solemn tenebrae, at which the archbishop presided, sitting on his throne. A MERCANTILE MERMAID. Playful Merchants Duck a Broker in the Exchange Fountain.

They exceeded the usual limit to-day, After throwing unsuspect- ing people out of chairs and chasing them across the floor for awhile, they tired of this tame amusement and sought something more exciting. Ed. Samuel was sitting near the fountain. Before he could prepare himself for the attack his chair was seized and borne by six strong arms, he was hurried toward the fountain. Just as he reached the brink he broke loose and flied. The 5 jokers’ appetites were whetted by this little exper- ience. Presently they caught John Warren unprepared and lifting the chair in which he was sitting, they carried him over to the fountain. The rungs of the chair were allowed to rest on the basin’s edge, and Mr. Warren was titled backward and forward over the water for afew minutes. Then the crowd suddenly released the chair and stood back. Mr. Warren wavered for a moment. Behind him was the hard floor and a certainty of strik- ing on his head. Before him was the cold clear water. A moment moreand Mr. War- ren’s legs went down into the drink. Slowly his feet slipped along the bot- tom otf the basin, and then the chair reached over and struck him in the back ofthe head and he sat down hard. A wild howl went up from the crowd. When Mr. Warren arose he was dripping from the waist down. He took the matter good-natureédly, and presently leſt to hunt up a dry pair ot un- mentionables. Carondelet Jottings. The members of the Carondelet Turn School will give an entertainment next Sunday at Turner Hall. An entertainment was given to the little school children yesterday afternoon by sev- eral well-known ladies at Trrner Hall.

The numerous friends of Mr. Joseph Murphy, the newly-elected member of the House of Delegates, serenaded him last even- ing at his residence, on South Broadway.

VERDIOT OF THE JURY IN THE UNITED STATES COURT THIS ATFERNOON, ——_" The Second of the Notorious Election Fraud Cases Closed This Afternoon—The Argu- ments of Counsel—Judge Brewer's Charge to the Jury—Peter Colgan Pleads Gullty—Detalis and Incidents of the Trial. For two hours ex-Delegate Peter R. Morris- sey sat in the United States Circuit Court to- day listening to vehement denunciations and spirited defenses of his conduct at the election November 2, 1886. His attorneys argued to the jury the abscene of criminating proof in the volume of testimony presented by the State, but it was generally felt through the audience that they were making little headway. The evidence for the prosecution outweighed the case made by the defense. When the Government closed the case against Morrissey yesterday the defense offered an instruction to acquit on the ground that the evidence did not show that any of the bogus ballots were cast for Congressman, and that the case was consequently not brought within the jurisdiction ofthe Federal Court. This instruction was refused and Mor- rissey owas placed upon his defense. His attorney, C. M. Napton, asked to be sworn, and submitted to the jury a paper on which the witness had written George Hox- ley’s name after Hoxley had signed it, This was offered to affect the testimony of James C. Broadwell, who identified Morrissey’s sig- nature, but who, the defense claimed, was confused about the Hoxley signatures. Wm. Barke, a deputy sheriff, who acted as judge at Precinct 7 last November, testified thatheand Laughlin had signed the returns at the City Hall, and not at the polls as Kisse- nich had stated. P. J. Laughlin, the other clerk, testified that he went to the City Hall with Burke, and that it was there that he signed the poll- books. : Henry Dawes, who boards at No. 632 South Broadway, Morri ssey’s house, was placed on the stand and swore that he knew Andrew Bury and Mike Doherty, who had boarded at the number from which they had been registered September. He had slept in the same room with Bury, had never asked him where he worked. The witness was under the impression that Bury was a carriage painter by trade, but could not give any address where Bury had worked. @ was not acguainted with Doherty and only met him occasionally at meals. The witness was cross-examined at length x the Government. When he was excused the defence rested. The prosecution did not desire to enter any rebuttal evidence. The case was accordingly closed and the jury was discharged until this morning. THE ARGUMENTS. This morning the Court allowed each side one hour in which to argue the case of Peter R. Morrissey. District Attorney Bashaw opened for the government. He said there were two indictments against the defendant, in the first of which there were four counts. It was charged that Morrissey bad entered on the registration books the names of Andrew Bury, Mike Doherty and George and Robert Hoxley as the names of qualified voters in the Seventh Precinct, whereas the parser were not voters. The Hoxleys had een produced and swore that they had never applied to Deputy Recorder Powers for regis- tration, and that they had not made the en- tries inthe book appearing as their registra- tions. The only testimony concerning Bary and Doherty was that given by the boarder from Morrissey’s house, who said he knew a man named Bury and Doherty, but could give no address or fact which the Government could contra- dict as the witness said that he knew none of Bury’s or Doherty’s associations or where they bad worked. Mr. Bashaw dwelt upon the fact that although the witness had slept in the same room with Bury for months he knew very littie concerning the man. The District Attorney was followed by : R. GRAHAM FROST one of the attorneys for the defense, who de- cried the evidence given by Broadwell, who, he said, probably had no kindly feelings for Morrissey, asthe defendant was one of the members of the House of Delegates who voted to oust Broadwell from the clerkship. Mr. Frost consumed three-quarters of the hour allottedto him commenting onthe ab- sence of proof with which the Government could have indisputably estalished facts which they now askthe jury to accept by inference. He repeated his argument on the absénce of evidence to showthat the conduct charged ainst the defendant affected the federal election. Mr. Dyer followed and closed for the gov- ernment with a severe arraignment of the tes- timony offered by defense, to contradict the evidence of old man Kessenich. He said that he had examined Burke and Laughlin at great length, because they were called touching an important pointin the case. They had sworn that at the close of the poli they put the books in the bailot-boxes, sealed them and went to the Oity Hall, where the seals were broken by the Recorder. Mr. Dyer then read the law, showing that the Recoeder had no right to break the seal, and that their evidence that they had signed the books there when their attention was called to it was to éxplain why Morrissey’s name does not even now appear in the list of judges. Mr. Dyer charged that it was not an innocent Omission, but that Morrissey knew that the showings were false, and shrewdly attempted to evade all legal liability by not signing the false return, although he directed Kessenich where to sign it, and erased his name when he placed it on the wrong line. Attheconclusion ofthe arguments Judge Brewer summed up the evidence in substance as follows: THE SUMMING UP. The government has presented two indict- ments, charging the defendant in the first with impersonating four different persons and registering in their names. Each count names one person. The offense charged is substan- tiallythat the defendant went to the register. ing officer and assumed to be the parties. That’s the offense charged in the first indict- ment. The second indictment contains six counts, the third and fifth of which we withdraw from our attention. In that indictment the of- ense charged is that he, being a judge of election, received a vote purporting to be the vote of Andrew Bury when he knew that no such man was entitled to vote. It carries the idea that sitting as judge of election he sawa man coming up as Andrew Bury when he knew there was no such map. He is presumed to be innocent, and before you are justified in re verdict of guilty you must be satisfied from the testimony in this case, and from that alone, beyond any reason- able doubt, that he is guilty as charged. It is not necessary that direct testimony be fur- nished. Itis not necessary that the govern- ment shall produce a man who saw the shooting, if a defendant is charged with shooting, but when the government rests on circumstances, they, taken together, must be such as to exclude all other hypothesis before finding the defendant gullty. Each count is a charge and a verdict may be returned on each. It was Claimed that there was no testimony showing that votes were cast for Congressman. The evidence was sufficient on that question. Relative to the first indictment the govern- ment says it has proved to you thut the four names are in the handwriting of the defend- ant. One witness has been put before you to establish that. You nave had the books before you. Youare the judges, and you have to say whether the writing isthe defendant’s. The goverument says that this de- fendant knew these parties, and that the handwriting being his he was the one who went there and made the registrations. They have produced two of the „ who have testified. The defendant says he has put before 1 do a witness who has shown that Bury and Doherty livsd on South Broadway atthe time and were 1 en- titled to ter. He says the witness of the overnment was prejudiced and was not a udge of hand as shown to their satis- : | e heard the ing the defendant’s duties at his. temporary absence during t he offended Of this you’ yee * de convineed. be con ot an Innocent m IN THE Hans OF THE JURY.

The Grand- jury for the March term of the United States Cirenit Court was selected and charged by Judge Brewer this morn- ing. The following gentlemen were selected: O. B. Greeley, T. B. Nixon, F. A. Heidorn, R. Everett, H. G. Brookings, H. 8. Preetorious, Harvey F. Willard, Mitchell Scott, H. O. Zelle, Wm. Bryan, Wm. 8. Looney, Lawrence L. Butler, Jacob O. Allen, W. F. Orow, H. F. Rhode, 8. A. Hamilton, . T. Anderson, Frank L. Ridgley. After the jurors were selected the court delivered a brief charge. Judge Brewer said: ‘‘The Court will ap- point Lawrence L. Butler foreman. Gentle menof the Grand-jury: The oath un have just taken ig the measure of your obligations and a guide for you. You are the tribunal ap- pointed to investigate and present for trial such parties as from the testimony you have reason to believe are guilty of offenses against the United States. Hach one of you may bring to the attention of the Grand-jury any violations of the law of which you may have knowledge, but you will find it more convenient and pro- ductive of the best results in tne end if you simply follow the suggestions of the United States District Attorney, who will attend your sessions and investigate matters which he, as the representative of the Government shall call to your attention. If any one of you knows of or has reason to believe that offenses have been com- mitted against the Government of the United States he is at liberty to call the matter to the attention of the Grand-jury. It requires the concurrence of twelve of your body to find an indictment, which the foreman, whether he be one of the twelve or not, will sign. Act with- out fear or favor, without malice. It is ex- pected of you that in your investigations you will seek to ascertain the truth, and if, from the testimony, you find thatany man has been guilty of an offense, it is your duty to present him for trial. don't feel that it would be proper under the circumstances that I should call your at- tention to any special matters. That is a mat- ter which the District Attorney will present to you from time to time. It is expected that you will diligently attend to this business, at the conclusion of which you will be discharged from service.“ The Grand-jury, which entered on service this morning, will take up the investigation of the election frauds, where they were left off by the District Grand-jury which adjourned in January. Evidence was then submitted for indictmeats in two cases, but in the haste to adjourn, the papers were not drawn up‘and the parties implicated in the testimony es- caped arrest and prosecution. These matters will be presented to the Circult Grand- jury. Costly Advice. Thos. H. Beckwith of Charleston, Missis- sippi County, failed toanswer his summons as a petit juror, and after waiting for him for a week the Court attached him. To-day he was fined the costs, which amounted to $52.03. He is a wealthy farmer and stated that he had not answered as he was advised by a lawyer that the anden by mal was not legal.

C. D. COMFORT DISQUALIFIED. Not Old Enough to Sit in the City Council—A Political Sensation. Areport was current on the streets this morning that C. D. Comfortand N. O. Nelson two of the successful Republican §candi- dates for members of the City Council were disqualified from holding their seats, Comfort because he was not 30 years old the age required under the city charter and Nelson because he was a non-resident. Inqui by a Povust- DISPATCH reporter elicited the information that, so far as it affected, Mr. Nelson, there was no truth in the. report; but that Mr. Com- fort was really disqualified for the reason stated. It appears that Comfort will not be 30 years old until the 25th une. The City Couneil organize on the day, April 19, so that for two months and six days after the new Council is called to order Mr. Comfort will not legally be entitled to sit as a member of that body or to participate in its roceedings. The question of age was rought to Mr. Comtfort's attention, it it seid, on last 47 and if that statement be true he went into the elec- tion with his eyes open to the fact that he was not of the age required by law and, if elect- ed, it would be a question whether or not he could serve. When approached upon the subject, Mr. N. O. Nelson, after stating he himself was a resi- dent and a tax-payer inthis city,said: 8 O. D. Comfort is 29 years old. e will be on the 2th of June. There is no legal bar to the issuing of Mr. Comfort’s certificate by the Recorder of Voters, and,as I understand it,the Councilis the judge of the qualifications of its own members. The Mayor has been seen and hae stated that, under the circumstances, he would not order a new election. If Comfort is decided not elegible by the Coun- cil the next highest condidate on the ticket 2 not go in, and a new election must be eld.’ AMONG THE BROKERS.

Commissioner Pierson Thinks the No-Com- missions Roads Will Win—Pacifie Coast Competition—The Application of the Southern Pacific Railroad—Chicago & St. Louls Bailroad Election—Railroad News, New York, April 7.—The Times says: ‘‘The railroad war was waged merrily yesterday. The action of the general agents of the trunk lines in support of the resolution they had adopted at their meeting at Commissioner Fink’s office on Tuesday was prompt and de- cisive, That resolution was to the effect that no more through tickets would be sold to points on connecting lines which refused to give pledges notto pay commissions to agents, Practically it referred to certain Western rouds, and its meaning was specified by the circulars which the general agents of the trunk lines issued early yesterday morning. Whenever one of these documenta reached an office a number of tickets were turned to the wall.’’ The Grand Trunk, included in the list as first issued, was stricken off later in the day. During the afternoon the New York Cen- tral put on sale St. Paul tickets via the Chica~- go, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha road, and other trunk lines were expected to follow its example. Atthe main office of the Baltimore & Onio a reporter was told that tickets would be sold to any points, commissions or no commissions, and that the New York, Ontario & Western was said to take the same posi- tion. Commissioner Pierson received a great many telegrams yesterday. He said that it looked as if the no-commissions roads would win their fight before long. The position of the trunk lines, he explained, might be sum- marized in this wayin answer to the claim made by some of the Western roads, that to refuse to issue through tickets in certain cases was to violate the interstate commerce law’s provisions that the same facilities shall be given to all connecting lines. Selling through tickets involves a money responsi- bility in the fact of the roads selling the tickets. In cases of contracts involving a money responsibility, it is an underlying rrinciple of all law that the parties to the con- tracts can have something to say about the terms of the agreement. Where any connect- ing lines pay commissions, the trunk lines are put in danger of litigation from areduction in rates to which they are nota party, but for which they will be held responsible until they can show theirinnocence. If the Baltimore & Ohio had not yet joined hands with the other trunk lines, it was the rernit of some delay in receiving intimationsfrom the gen- aral passenger agent. Inquiries at the office of the Rock Isiand Road, one of the most important of the com- mission-paying lines, were answered with the statement thatthe company had not yet set- tled upon the course to pursue. Ove ot two things will have to be done. Either the Rook Is- land will have to give up commissions or else lacé a line of its tickets from hicago to places on its road on sale in its Eastern cities. The second course means a fight, and whether it will be taken or not will be settled to-night. A rumor that the Rock Island had made up its mind to fight, and had already shipped a batch of tickets to this city was current on the streetin the after- noon, but it was denied at the company’s headquarters, _ _— PACIFIC COAST COMPETITION, Leland Stanferd Applies to the Interstate Commission for Information. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—The following correspondence fully explains itself: SAN FRANCISSO, Cal., April 4, 1887. Judge T. M. Cooley, Chairman: The question is before us, in competition with the Suez Canal route for bus with China and Japan, whether we can make com- peting prices through to Atlantic ports at less rates than local rates charged, say from San Francisco to New York, and the line from China and Japan being a continuous one in connection with the Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railways. The question is also before us of making, in 22 with Cape Horn and the Isthmus of nama, a rallroad rate that permits shipments between San Francisco and Atlantic ports, those rates m order to meet competition being necessarily lower for a longer distance than those charged for a shorter, and far below what would be areason- able rate for the service performed. We con- strue the fourth section of the interstate commerce act practically to be in sub- stance the application to interstate commerce of the common law principle that the shipper avail himself of competition, and that a less rate may be charged for a longer than a shorter distance providing more could not be obtained. if the right of competition is recognized as between the carrier and the shipper our carrying business will not be interrupted, but otherwise we shall be unable to com pete for the Chinese and Japanese trade with the Suez Canal and aleo unable to compete with the water routes by Panama and pe Horn for business originating in California.

Meeting of the Committee of Arrangements Yesterday—The First Book In, The Committee of Arrangements for inviting President and Mrs. Oleveiand to visit St. Louis in. September next met at the office of the Mayor yesterday afternoon. The sheets for signatures to the mammoth invitation were not generally dis because it had been decided to ad { gentlemen—George . Alen and Jos. Specht—to the com- ittee, and it was desired that heirnames should appearon the covers of the signature sheets. One lot of 150 sheets was turned over to John S. Moffitt, however, for distribution among the druggists. After some discussion it was decided not to appoint acommittee of 100to distribute the sheets, but to give each member of the Com- mittee of Arrangements the. 8 rvision of a certain district. Accordingly * 0 assignments were made: The press—Jno. W. McCullagh. The clubs—Geo. B. Thompson. The Merchants’ and Cotton Exchanges— Frank Gaiennie. The retail dry goods stores—C. H. Sampson. The banks—C. C. Rainwater and 8. W. Cobb. The street railroads—Ohas. Green. The turners and singing societies—Nelson Cols. The police—Frank Gaiennte. The Real Estate and Mechanics’ Exchange and the School Board—Jno. G. Priest. The Court-house, Four Courts and Post- office—R. H. Kern. The Secretary of the committee, Mr. 8 ning, was asked to look after the City Hall and Fire Department. Mr. Moffitt volunteered to see that cards n ing attention to the signature sheets should be placed in the windows of stores where they were left. After some discussion it was finally decided to tix a time limit on the return of the sheets. Some members of the committee wanted them returned by the end of this week. It was de- cided, however, to order them in by Wednes- next, April 13. The committee adjourned to meet on Satur- day of next week at the Mayor’s office at 40’clock p. m. DISTRIBUTING THE BOOKS. The leading retail druggists have all been supplied with books for signatures by Mr. Moffitt, who has this department of the work in charge. The druggists are taking a lively interest in the work of obtaining signatures and although the books were only sent out this morning some have applied for more. The following drug stores have been added to the list already published: Schaeffer & Peters, Fourteenth and Madison. Schele & Crucus, Tweifth and Clark avenue. A. Pohle, Elliot avenue, near Glasgow. E. Bribach, 1800 8. Broadway. Herman Pockles, Gravois road. The ladies will probably find it easier to sign the invitation through the sheets placed in the drug-stores, than in any other way. The first book returned filied with signatures was that sent to Meyer Bros. & Co., the whole- sale druggists. They sent in two books be- fore noon to-day, filled with the signatures of 100 of their employes. Those who receive the books will find the name ofa committeeman on the outside of each one. They are to be returned to this gentleman on or before Wednesday next. Those who have not received books can ob- tain them from any one of the gentlemen above mentioned on application. Every book is numbered and registered. EASTER cards at verv low prices. E. Jaccard Jewelry Co., 307 North Fourth street. HE HAD A SAND-BAG, A Tough Customer Who Got a Big Fine in the Police Court, A.

Revision of the Regi Developments of the past two weeks in ref- erence to the appointment of a custodian at the Custom-house indicate that Surveyor of the Port R. D. Lancaster has, in the vernacu- lar of the street, lost his grig, with the Missouri Senators at Washington, or, at least, with Senator Vest, who has fre- quently come to his rescue heretofore at critical moments in his career in his present position. Assistant District Attorney Hatch’s old place has been vacant for several months, and no little surprise has been manifested in political circles that it should have been left open for so long a time without any attempt on Lancaster’s part to fill it. It now transpires that if the posi- tion was not filled with one of Lancaster’s friends it was not because of the Surveyor’s indifference, but rather because the powers that be’’ at Washington had a candidate for the place who was personally distasteful to Lancaster and whose appoint- in the face of the Surveyor by Senator Vest. This candidate was Mr. Henry Newman of Randolph County, ex-Labor Commissioner under Gov. Crittenden. It will be remembered that shortly after Lan- caster’s appointment as Surveyor of the Port, Newman was frequently mentioned as an ap- plicant for the position of custodian. He had refused an appointment as timber inspector for New Mexico, and owing to the strong per- sonal friendship which existed between him and Senator Vest, his appointment as custodian was looked upon as certain. At this juncture Mr. Lancaster stepped in, and, according to Newman’s own statements, used underhand means to injure Newman’s influence with Vest. Lancaster accomplished his object and Newman failed to get the place. One day, shortly after receiving the unfavor- able’ news from Washington, Newman, while Post-office block, was a gory by Lan- caster, who, with face all smiles, extended his hand to the man from Rand olph County, with a pleasant remark about the weather. Newman turned fiercely on the Surveyor. It you dare speak to me again I’ll slap your face you d——n back-capping cur!’’ said he. ‘*] know all about your letters to Senator Vest and I'm not done with you yet. Get away from me!’’ and Newman turned his back on Lancaster and resumed his conversation with Hugh J. Brady to whom he had been talk- ing when interrupted by Lancaster’s arrival. When Custodian Hatch was appointed As- sistant District Attorney, Mr. Newman, who in the meantime had made his peace with Vest, saw a glorious opportunity to make pe his threat about „getting even! with caster, and he came down from Jefferson City and began laying his plans to make the Sur - veyor eat crow. Lancaster would not have MEWMAN FOR CUSTODIAN when Newman wanted the place, but now bya little judicious wire pulling on Newman’s part the tables have been turned. Newman, it is stated upon excellent authority, can have the appointment by asking for it—in fact, it has as good as been offered to him. It is pre- sumed that Senator Vest and Newman have been in communication with each other, and that means have been found to make cas- ter give the piace to Newman. In a conversation with some friends a few days ago Newman remarked that he wouldn’t take the piace for the reason that he wouldn’t be in the same office with Dick Lancaster. At all events, Newman has accomplished his ob- ject of humiliating the Surveyor, and Lan- cagter has been beaten at his own game. N. O. Nelson Serenaded. Yesterday evening friends of Mr. N. O.

Hornsby, the present incumbent, is a candidate for re-election. Thomas Barrett, Assistant Clerk of the Council, is also in the lists.

New York, April7.—The Tribune makes no reference to the Evening Post special, sent in these dispatches yesterday afternoon, in re- gard to a letter alleged to have been written by Whitelaw Reid to Murat Halstead. ‘ he WORLD has the following in regard to it: Mr. Reid, be seen by a representative of the WORLD, last n ght, had nothing to —4 r than that he had written no such!

Halstead of the Commercial Gazette had received aletter from Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, about Blains and Sherman as Presidential candidates, is untrue altogether.

The only error made by the Evening Post’s corres- ondent was using the name of Mr. Halstead. he letter was addressed to Mr. Halstead’s partner, Richard Smith of the Cincinnati Com- mercial-Gazette.’’ A TERRIBLE TALE Told by a 17-Year-Old Girl in the Police Court. A disgusting case of depravity came to light in Judge Cady’s Court this morning. Lizzie Velders, a handsome qhite.girl, 17 years of age, plainly but neatly dressed, was charged with being an inmate of a disreputable house, and Tom Holland, a homely negro, was charged with being a frequenter of a disrep- utable house. They were arrested together last night at a house No. 709 St. Charles street, kept by a colored woman. Officer Egan was told by Officer Cole last night that a negro and a white girl had entered the house together. Egan, on whose beat the house is, entered the place and found Holland and the girlin a room together. They were both arrested and the charge stated above placed against them. Both he and the girl are employed at the La- clede Hotel. This morningthe girl pleaded not guilty to the ores against her and a nolle prosequi was entered in the case so as to use her as a witness against Holland. She claimed, however, that it was the first time she had éver been to the house with him, although she admitted having been there before with other men, and stated that she had been going to such places for a year back. As it could not be proved that Ho land had ever been at the house before, the frequenter charge could not be made to stick, and he was discharged. STOLE THE SOUVENIRS. A Gentleman Who Could Afford to Sell Thimbles Cheap. Last night Detectives Lawler and Desmond found a young negro named William Carr sell- ing a lot of thimbles in a small store on Seventh, between Walnut and Elim streets, and arrested him on suspicion of hav- ing stolen them. He claimed that he had been given the thimbles to sell by another negro known as ‘‘Gen.’’ Allen, who was across the street waiting for him. Allen was found, but denied Carr’s statement. Both were taken to the Four Courts, where a lot of thimdles were found on the General. It was learned that he was connected with An- drews’ Carnival Novelty Co., and Mr. Andrews was sent for and identified Allen and also the —— He stated that the negro was in his — a kA and thatthe thimbles and other like les were given away at the show as souve- nirs. For some time he had been missin thimbles, but did not know what became o them. A warrant for petit larceny was issued this morning against both negroes. — A NIGHT IN A CAB, And the Second Scene it Caused in the Po- lice Court. James Wilson arrived here from La Belle, Mo., about 10 o’clock Tuesday evening and hired Levi Stevens, ahackman at the Union Depot, to drive him about town and show him the sights. Wilson was taken to Twentieth and Chestnut streets, where he met a lady, and Stevens drove them down town. After a night’s carousal,the granger was finally driven to the Laclede Hotel at 5:30 o’ciock in the morning, and then had no money to y tor his ride. Stevens claimed that their — was for $1 an hour and that his customer owed him $7.50, having had him for seven and a halt hours. When asked for a note for the money, Wilson threatened to knock the hackman down. Yesterday Stevens learned he was about to leave town, and had him arrested at the Union Depot. This morning Judge Cady fined him $10 Good Friday at Trinity Church.

Record Alleged to Be the Work of Un- scrupulous Enemies — The Chemical Bank’s Action on the New York Indict- | ment Denounced as Blackmail — The Arkansas Indictments for Arson. NEw YORK, April 7.—A San Francisco special : to the WORLD says: W. Kissane Rogers, or W. K. Rogers as heis known here, the.criminal who is endeavoring to have an old indictment quashed in New York, is in hiding in this city. He has broken down under the weight of ac- cusations against him, and only a few of his most intimate friends know where he is. From one of . his relatives the WORLD correspondent has just obtained Rogers’ version of the story, with the assurance that it it came from his own lips it would be exactly the same. Rogers says that the Martha Washington case grew out of the refusal of the insurance companies to pay the insurance on the cargo of that vessel. The charges were trumped up against him and others, and the case was tried in the Ohio Cir- cult Court, a full report of which is given in volume 5, United States Circuit Court pro- ceedings, Ohio, pages 518 to 616. Having been acquitted by the jury without any testimony being offered for the defense, Rogers, or Kissane, as he acknowledges his name is, went to New York. He says that the enmity of persons whom he had beaten in the insurance case followed him there and that the alleged forged check was A PUT-UP JOB to send him to the penitentiary. He had no money for his defense, wasin a strange city, and was convicted. His friends afterward rallied and managed to get him pardoned. Ruined in pocket and reputation, he says he became reckless, and while in that mood joined the Walker expedition to Nicara- gua. The death which he sought did not come. He told his story to Walker, who sym- pathized with him, and later, In a pronuncla- mento announced that he had appointed Will- iam Kissane Rogers one of his ministers and aides-de-camp. Having thus been renamed in halt-legal form he has allowed himself to be known by that name ever since. Rogers says that his enemies have shown devilish ingenuity in publishing the stories against him. He says all the stories are based on a slight foundation of fact, but the whole truth, he says, has never been toid. He says it has been alleged that he was a murderer, or at all events had been charged with murder. This story was re- peated in Sonoma County by TWO ENEMIES. It wassought to work up public sentiment against him then on that account justasit is now. The truth is, he says, he was arrested in Ohio on a charge of murder, but the sequel is not mentioned and is studiously concealed by his enemies. The man who was said to have been murdered was named Lewis, and during Kissane’sexamination forthe alleged crime Mr. Lewis turned up safe and sound, having taken a trip down the Ohio River. Asto Gen. Dorr, Rogers claims he does not know the man, and never knew of his existence till re- cently. The alleged incendiarism charged against Rogers could not have been committed by him, as it took place long after he left that part of the country where it occurred. Dorr, so Rogers says, can have no shadow of a just claim against him, and he declares that he has no hesitation in saying, and his friends say with him, thatthe whole thing is a gigantic piece of blackmail. - — — THE CHARGE OF INCENDIARISM. The Arkansas Indictments Against Kis- sane Still in Force, HELENA, Ark., April 7.—Examination of the records of the court at this place in connection with the trial of Kissane and others for the burning of the steamer Martha Washington shows that Kissane is still under indictment for murder and arson. The steamer burned with the loss of sixteen lives, January 14, 1852, and it was considered as an unavoidable acci- dent till May, 1854, when Sidney C. Burton of Cincinnati had the Grand-jury indict Kis- sane, Lyman J. Cole and seven others on the charge of arson and murder. After several continuances, the cases against the seven were nolle prossed, but as Kissane and Cole were in a New York jail, on a charge of for- , they could not appear in court, and so bonds were declared forfeited their bondsmen had to make the settlement. Therefore, according to the court records, Kissane and Cole to-day stand indicted as they stood thirty-three years "kant September Laywer Hart, Kissane’s at- torney, came here from San Francisco, —— after looking over the records tried to Clerk Humphries to sign an affidavit 1 Kissan* was clear of all entangiements.

An ived SCIENCE EMERGING FROM DARKNESS. Pleasant, Pure A Specific for Malaria, Rheumatism, Nervous Prostration, Dyspepsia and all Germ Diseases. A Powerful Tonic that the Most Delicate Stomach will Bear. The Most Scientific and Successful Blood Purifier. Twelve years ago I was a Hudson River plot, and contracted malaria—the first real iliness I ever had; and it held me in its grip for six years. Many times have I at the wheel with my overcoat buttoned to the chin, shivering in the hot summer sun. For six years I took quinine in large doses, with no lasting good result, although there was plenty of its bad. In 18871 saw an advertisement of Kaskine, the new quinine. ‘*That’s What I need, I said, anything but the old quinine, which, with malaria to help it, had nearly used me up. After some weeks’ use of Kaskine tt cured me thoroughly, made me well, and 1 have never had a particle of malaria since. WILLIAM TEED, 133 East 124th Street, New York. Seven years ago I had an attack of bilious remittent fever, which ran into intermittent malarial. I tried all the known remedies, such as arsenic, mercury and quinine. The latter was administered to me in heavy and continued doses. Malaria brought on nervous prostration and dyspepsia, from which I suffered everything. Last winter I heard of Kaskine and be- gan wingit. A few bottles of the wonderful drug cured me Malaria and dyspepsia disappeared, and as you have seen a June day brighter for the summer storm that had passed across the sky, so the cloud left my life and my health became steady and strong. MRS. J. LAWSON, 141 Bergen St., Brooklyn, N. T. I contracted malaria in the Micnigan Lake District, and for eight years suffered from a chronic type of intermittent malarial fever with all its distressing symptoms. Used all the leading remedies. including quinine, under the best medical advice, but re- ceived no radical benefit. In the summer of 1886 1 first tried Kaskine, the new quinine,and it cured me. It was a true scientific healing, and results so real cannot be disputed. DAVID J. NORTON, State St., Albany, N. T. I live ma malarious neighborhood, and though a strong man, contracted dumb ague in its worst form about two years ago. The poison weng all through and nothing was able to touch it. I took thirty grains of quinine at a dose. It broke up my sleep, made me nearly wild, and so weakened my stomach that it finally refused to tolerate any more quinine. In 1885 I ran down from 175 pounds to 97, and wasa mere bundle of bones. My doctor gave me uv. He sald: 1 might pour pounds of quinize down your throat and it wouldn’t help you. I then gave up quinine and concluded to take mychances. I heard ef Kaskine, and without the least faith began using it. In one week I was better, began to sleep, have appe- tite and gain strength. In a month Iwas back at my work. Never had aday’s sickness since. Malaria was killed in my system. I am an astonishment to myself and friends. If Kaskine didn’t do this I don"t know what did.

The recent city elections are full of pointers for party managers, and the same lesson is taught by all of them, Wherever the Democrats captured the Union Labor vote, as in Cleveland and Columbus, they recovered lostground and achieved sweeping victories. From every city in which the Democrats lost ground and were defeated comes the stereotyped story that The Union Labor vote was 1 nnn So it was in Kansas City, where the Republican nominee for Mayor received twice as many votes as the Democratic nominee. So it wasin Cincinnati, where the Democratic vote was cut down to 11,000 and the Union Labor vote in- creased to 17,000. So it was in Chicago, where the Democratic organization was driven from the field by the Union Labor ticket and most of its voters forced to choose between the Republican nominees and candidates in avowed alliance with the Haymarket anarchists. On the other hand it has been demon- strated that the only effect of the Union Labor movement, so far, is to promote Democratic defeats and Republican suc- cesses. It is further demonstrated that the Union Labor party’s only hope of serving the cause of the workingman is by repudiating the red flag brotherhood everywhere, as was done at Cincinnati, and by using every good opportunity of leavening the Democratic lump with labor votes and influence, as was done in Colum- bus and Cleveland. In short, the Union Labor movement is as much of a menace to the Democratic party as the Prohibition movement is to the Republican party. The latter man- ages to resolve itself into a Prohibition party wherever it can win by doing so. It also manages to hold the Prohibition- ists by some slender thread of hope even where it is really controlled by the ‘‘rum power.’’ Toretain its ancient hold on the workingmen of the country the Demo- cratic party has only to prove itself what it has always claimed to be, the party of the masses, redeeming its platform pledges to the people, protecting them from the iron hand of the money power and from the machinations of ringsters and corporation boodlers. Its failure to do that is the only thing that is evolving a new party from the disgusted and dissatisfied elements which have so long upheld the cause of American De- mocracy. — | PACKED PARTY COMMITTEES. A central committee cannot promote the harmony or strenthen the organization of the party unless it is so constituted in all of its parts as to command respect and con- fidence as a truly representative body. Such a body it cannot be when it is packed with some members notoriously foisted into their positions against the protest of the party voters of the wards they are supposed to represent. The same primary frauds that made EGan the Democratic nominee for the House of Delegates in the Nineteenth Ward made WoopLock the Central Com- mitteeman for that ward. The recent election has shown that at least five out of every seven Democratic voters of the ward were opposed to EGan and to Woop- LOCK. Everybody now knows that the latter represents Boss BUTLER and his notorious methods, not the Democracy of the Nineteenth Ward. But we do not hear that he will resign, or that the Democratic Central Committee will take any steps to purge itself of such packing. With the Butler grin on their faces, they seem to be saying to the wronged masses of the party: ‘‘What’re you going to do about it!“ Perhaps this committee is to work the Municipal Assembly as the O Day Demo- cratic State Committee has worked the Legislature, or so as to make its action a repudiation of the Democratic platform and a disappointment and mortification to the voters by whom some of the members were elected. It is this sort of thing that is so rapidly filling the ranks of the Union Labor party in all our cities with honest and disgusted Democrats. nn — — WORKINGMEN are not the only ones who go on indefensible strikes, nor the only ones who misbehave when the fever of the strike is on them. The Legislature of New York, which the Republican party con- trols through a gerrymander, is on a strike against the right of the people to amend the State Constitution. The people cast an immense majority for a Constitutional Convention to amend the organic law, but, in the interest of corrupt cor- porations and 0politicians who op- pose the changes desired by the people, the Legislature has postponed for one year, and intends to keep on postpon- ing the legislation necessary to carry out the popular will. In Pennsylvania the corporations have kept the Legislature on a strike for twelve years past against the | enforcement of the State Constitution. the Democratic State Executive Commit- tes out on a strike nnn Here in Missouri the O Day gang have led ty „„ as that of the Penn: sylvania Legislature a the organic law of the State. THE startling 8 that Rhode Island had become a doubtful State is followed by the still more start- ling announcement that ‘‘Little Rhody’’ -_ | has been carried by the Democrats at last. Not since SPraGug was elected Governor as a Demoorat in 1860, to turn up soon as a Republican United States Senator, has any Democrat held a State office in Rhode Island. It begins to look as if solid New England were about to join the Solid South, This surprising revolution in what was supposed to be the most im- movable Republican State in the Union except Vermont, is the result ofa com- bined revolt against Prohibition and the restriction of suffrage by a property qualification.

MONTE CARLO, April 7.—A heavy land-slide occurred here to-day. Immense masses of earth slid down, and now entirely block the railway and carriage road, Trains from Can- nes and Mentone, well laden with tourists, had marvelous escapes from destruction, get- ting over the tracks justin time to avoid an- nihilation. The land-fall is so great that it will stop all railway communication with Monte Carlo for at least twenty-four hours. The land-slide was undoubtedly the result of the shocks which the promontory received during the earthquakes, which began along the whole Riviera on the morning of Ash Wednesday. The first shock was the greatest inforce. It will be rememberedthat while al) the other towns in the Riviera were badly shattered by these earthquakes, Monte Carlo was pronounced entirely unaffected. Sci entists ascribe this to the solid rocky char- acter of Monaco’s formation. Refugees from all the other resorts flocked here. To-day’s vast land-slide, occurring as it did at a point where engineers a generation ago caused, as they thought, the complete removal of all un- stable projectiles or overhangings, and where for years the railway and highway travel has been very great, shows how violent the earth- quakes were, and that Monte Carlo, contrary to general opinion, was in reality badly shaken, although the population did not notice it.

DECLINE OF SHIP-BUILDING. OTTawa, Ont., April 7.—The ship-building industry of the Dominion, which at one time was so extensively carried on, has so rapidly declined during the past few years as to lead to the belief that it will not be long before nearly every ship-yard in Canada will be closed. The trade and navigation returns of the Dominion for 1886, which will shortly de laid before Parliament, show that last year the agare- gate tonnage of vessels built in Canada was only 37,531 tons, against 57,486 tons in 1885, 70,287 tons in 1884, and 188,098 tons ten years ago. The decline is apparent in every prov- ince. The tonnage registered in Canada and added tothe Dominion merchant fleet in 1886 was 40,872, as compared with 65,962 tons in 1885, 80,822 tons in 1884 and 204,002 tons ten years ago. This, of course, includes foreign-built vessel, which have been pur- chased by Canadians and have taken a Dominion register. While the returns af shipping built show a marked decline, the tonnage of vessels entered inward and out- ward at Canadian ports has but slightly fal- len off, thus indicating that the carrying trade of the Dominion is passing into the bands of British and foreign vessel- owners. FIRED ON A YANKEE. ST. JOHNS, N. B., April 7.—News has reached here that the fishery cruiser Vigilant, when sailing out of Beaver Harbor afew days ago, sighted an American fishing vessel within the three-mile limit and evidently after bait. The Vigilant gave chase and gained on the **Yankee,’’ who refused to heave-to, even when a blank shot was fired. The chase was continued, but the American vessel soon gained the line and was safe. This is the first gun fired this season by a Canadian cruiser. Fined 85 for the Stay.

Lonpon, April “7.—(Copyright 1887.}—There has lately arrived in London a recently dis- missed member of the American State Depart- ment, who has created a great deal of ex- citement in Berlin, througu his having abused hia former official position to borrow money from the people whom he did not répay, and to draw drafts on banks where he had no ac- counts, Hig name, asit appeared upon the list of the consular clerks of the State De- partment, is William F. Tigiman. In Berlin, where be flourished for some time, his card bore the following inscription: ‘‘W. Percy Tigiman, Deputy and Vice-Consular-General of the United States of. America.’’ Tigiman comes from a good old American family. His grandmother was a widow of the late Dr. G. ©. Cox of Washington. It was doubtless through this family influence that he secured an appointment as one of the thirteen of the consular clerks who are re- movable by the President only, and for cause. His first assignment was Berlin, and he occu- pied adesk in the office of Mr. F. Raine of Baltimore, our present Consul -General in that city. Mr. Tigiman is of prepossessing ap- pearance, is a most plausible talker and, moreover, he is connected with a good Mary- land family. He soon won Mr. Raine’s friend- ship. Shortly after his arrival at Berlin Mr. Raine had occasion to go to St. Petersburg, and during bis absence made Tigiman deputy and acting Consul-General. This was the young man’s opportunity. He immediately blossomed out as a full-biown diplomate and had cards printed as described above. Owing to the great respect of the German public for official positions of all kinds, and to the gen- eral regard displayed towards the representa- tives of the United States, Tiglman soon opened up for himself a social and financial eareer which has resulted since in endless worry and annoyance to Oonsul-General Raine, and which has brought discredit upon the American name in Berlin. TIGLMAN’S DISMISSAL. About two months ago representations were made to the Consul-General, both by German and American citizens, of suchanature that he was compelled to report Tigimah’s misdo- ings to the department at Washington. It ap- pears that he had drawn a number of drafts on people in America which had been returned protested. He would then settle the protested drafts by drawing new ones, and in this way was getting along very well until his career was checked by his removal from of- fice. Dr, H. R. Bigelow indorsed one or two of these returned drafts, and only by good management saved himself from losing money. Dr. Sylvester, the lead- ing American dentist of Berlin, is out about $800, owing to his confidence in the deputy Consul-General. Tigiman drew several drafts upon the Secretary of the Treasury, the very form of which was enough to have aroused the suspicions of any one familiar at all with the way in which consular clerks are paid. None of our representatives are allowed to draw drafts direct upon the Treasury. Tigi- man very nearly succeeded in securing the affections of a young American heiress, who is the niece of a prominent lady of the American colony at Berlin, Atthe height of his social career Tigiman was presented at her house, where he soon succeeded in making himsoeif very popular. The young lady became inter- ested in him, and her aunt seriously con- sidered HIS PROPOGAL FOR HER HAND. It was just about this time that some of his protested drafts were returned, and a finan- cial friend of the lady in question, hearing of Tigiman’s proposal, went to the aunt and gave her the history of a portion of the young man’s Berlin career. The result was that he was forbidden the house. He has been since dismissed from the service of the State De- partment, but is still representing himself, however, as an agent of the Government. He visited the American Exchange in London yes- terday, and came very near getting a draft cashed. A gentieman, however, who was in the Exchange at the time and was famil- lar with his Berlin career, exposed him intime. Hethen disappeared; andit is not known in what direction he has gone. The act of Congress under which Tigiman became a consular clerk was passed in 1884. Persons in order to be appofnted to posts of that kind must pass through avery rigid examination. It would be interesting to find out how sucha man as Tigiman could have passed any kind of civil-service examination, for his education is very meagre. He cannot spell correctly, and is incapabie even of writing a letter in any correct form or phraseology. 1 1 “THE COURTS OF EBU BO R.“ An Interesting Chapter Relating to Princess Louise and the Marquis of Lorne. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Beriin, April 7.—A book has just appeared here entitied ‘‘The Courts of Europe.’’ The author’s name is not on the title page. It gives a formal history of ali the royal families with much interesting information concerning them. The article relating to the English Lsourt gives an entirely new version of the differences which are only reported to exist between the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise. Hitherto it has always been said that the Princéss was fond of flirting and that it was the Marquis who was jealous. Ac- cording to the publication in question, how- ever, it appears that it is the Princess who suffers from tortures of jealousy. It is stated that she carries her conjugal suspicions to such an extent that she is happy nowhere. She is reported to have said one day to the Duchess of Albany: „Oh, ifI only knew of some place where I could conceal my husband so as to be sure of him! Iam so unfortunate.’’ Sometime sub- sequently the Princess went with her sister- in-law to pray atthe tomb ot the Duke of Albany. According to this book the Princess said to the Duchess: The woman whose husband lies buried there is happier than I am. os — — — Johu Ruskin Says He Has Not Been Received Into the Church of Rome.

The Election Commissioners took the eleo- tion returns to Belleville this morning, and, the vote will be canvassed this afternoon and the result declared. The Canvassing Board consists of County Judge Hay, City Olerk Canty and City Attorney O. Melveny. As soon as the result is declared, Mr. M. M. Stephens will receive his certificate of election as Mayor, and Messrs. D. C. Marsh, Robert Cunningham C. F. Strecker aud John V. Tefft as Aldermen, and they will take their seats in the Council at the meeting to be held to-morrow. To-mor- row’s meeting will be an adjourned session and it is not expected that the appointment of city officers will be made until the regular or which occurs next Tuesday. There is a gocd deal of speculation as to whether Messrs. Egan and Russell, who were elected by the Labor party, will side with the administration or the Stephens party. As the Council stands, the Administration has three Aldermen and the Stephens party three. This leaves the balance of power to Messrs. Russell and Egan, and on the poston they take depends which party will control the Government. During the past year Mesérs.

W. : A Thousand Oyclists to Visit St. Louls—A Day Parade of Hundreds ef Riders—A Big Banquet at the Lindell—Prograntme of the Mest— History of League of American Wheelmen—Subscriptions Be- ported. The first national convention to open the season at St. Louis will be that of the League of American Wheelmen, which will hold its annual session on Friday and Saturday, May 2 and 21. Among wheelmen themselves this convention is generally called a meet, and is a time of social ro- union and cycling fraternization, It is always the occasion of gathering together hundreds of wheelmen from all over the country. The League of American Wheelman was or - ganized in May, 1880, ‘‘to ascertain, defend and protect the rights of wheelmen, as the constitution expresses it. Cyoling was then in its infancy and the League, or the L. A. W., as it is better known, advanced slowly, but as the sport grew in popularity, several members of the Association became engaged in legal fights over road rights, which the League took up and carried through success- fully. This made it recognized by wheelmen as their guardian, and the membership con- tinued to grow steadily until 1836, when it achieved wonderful success. Starting with 5,000 members in the spring, it enrolled over 10,000 by the end of the year, thus becoming the largest athletic organization, with a central government in America. THE ORGANIZATION. The League is made up of State organiza- tions galled divisions, which have their own State constitution and elect their officers. The head officer of each division is called a Chief Consul, who has one assistant for every —— members called a representative. The Chief Consuls and representatives of all the States go to form anational board of officers,which meets once a year and elects a president, vice-presi- dent, treasurer, editor of the official organ and the various committees, all of whom com- prise the central government. The membership provisions are very broad. Any amateur wheelman over 18 years of age, in good standing, may become a member ofthe League. The initiation fee is $1 and the annual dues, the same. On the Ist of March in each year renewals are due, and can be secured by sending to the secretary the $ldues. The ad- vantages of League membership are briefly that a wheelman through his League ticket se- cures certain transportation and hotel privil- eges in traveling, gets the Bulletin, the offi- cial organ, free every week. and is backed by the League in any legal controversy in which the wheelman is in the right. THE OFFICERS, The present officers of the League are Dr. N, M. Beckwith of New York City, President; T. J. Kirkpatrick of Springfield, O., Vice- Presi- dent; Sanford Lawton of Springfield, Mass., Treasurer, and Abbot Bassett of Boston, Mass. Secretary- -Editor. The officers of the Missouri Division are J. 8. Rogers, Chief Con- sul, and Arthur Young, T. W- Overall, George C. Oetersand W. M. Brewster, Representa- tives, who, besides a secretary and several committees, make up tbe State governing powers. The Missouri Division numbered last year 250 members. The renewals of the League up to March 1 were over 8,000, and it is ex- pected that a total of 12,000 members will be reached before the end of the year. CONDUCT OF THE MEET. The conduct of the annual meet ts in the hands of a general committee, com- posed of the chairmen of various sub- committees, each chairman being authorized to select two assistants. The committee is constituted as foilows: General chairman and treasurer, W. M. Brewster; secretary, L. J. Berger; reception, Edward Sells; finance, J. E. Smith ; banguet, Dr. H. H.

There two sessions during the convention, one of the board of officers to elect officers for the ensuing year and transact official business, and the other of the neral membership. There has been some legislation thejpast year on the general meqing. and a complication is likely to result. eretofore the general mem- bership at their meeting have dictated the licy of the League, but now the Board says t alone is qualified to do that. THE PROGRAMME. The programme as srranged is as follows and will not be materially changed: Friday, May 20, 9a. m., meeting ofthe Board of Officers; lla. m. meeting of the general membership. Dinner. In the afternoon the steamer Charies P. Chouteau will be chartered and the visitors given an excursion down the river to Montesano Springs. This will close the first day. Saturday, May 21, 10a. m., national parade of 800 wheelmen through principal streets; dinner at Forest Park. Afternoon, runs to various places of interest; 8 p. m. , banquet at the Lindell Hotel, to which the Mayor and prominent city officials will be invited. Besides the stated runs, there will be im- promptu excursions awheel during both days. ENCOURAGING CONTRIBUTIONS. The cost of entertaining the meet is placed at about $5,000, and this sum will be raised by the Finance Committee, who are industrious- ly canvassing the business houses. They are meeting with great encouragement, and nearly half the sum has now been raised. One member of the committee, Mr. Reid Northrap reports that he hes secured the following subscrip- tions: C. E.

This will be the first meet held in the West for some years, and will catch nearly allthe Western wheelmen. The Eastern cyclists will charter special trains and come straight through. The Boston, Phila- deiphia, New York, Washington and ‘Buffalo riders have already ‘made their arrangements to that effect. In the East more than in the West the fraternity is composed of elderly gentlemen, and the people of St. Louls will be able to form some idea of the spirit that is pushing the wheel to the front when they see the large delegations of serious men who will visit this city in the interest of the ‘‘silent steed.’’ One interesting feat- ure of the meet will be the presence of a large number of lady tricyclists of the East, wives of wheelmen, who will accompany their husbands to the Western meet. The Lindell has been selected as the League hotel during the meet, and quarters have already been secured for several divisions. The official prograrme, which will be a work of art, and will de iliustrated by sketches from 8 St. Louis artists, will be out about May 1. Wedding Presents.

COUNTY. of Posey Mt, Vernon. Special Correspondence qt the Posr-Diararon. ; Mr. Vernon, Ind., April 2.— Posey County, Indiana, is a name iilarto almost every household in the West, and not only there, buteveninthe ‘‘way; down Hast’’ districts the name Posey is(no stranger. There is scarcely a county in West that for wealth of agricultural produots, can compare with it. It its the / banner county of Indiana, for its rs raise more wheat and corn than ahy other obunty in the State. When a county is found that oan raise forty to seventy- five bushels of corn to the acre and thirty-five bushels of wheat, and that without any great effort on the part Of the farmer, one can easily believe that the average Posey County granger has but littie to complain of. The bottom lands that surround Mt. Ver- non, the county seat, will be an ever-increas- ing feature of * port and feeder for her. A arge ree porece of these ds lie direct] „ Vernon on the Kentuck — . for many miles above an city. They are the most productive — to be found, 1— an av o crop of corn per acre of sixty bushels. The special fertility of these lands is-caused the annual overflow ofthe Ohio River, which leaves deposits that serve to make the soil practically inexhausti- ble, These lands offer a good investment to the capitalist, as they are ALWATS IN DEMAND for renters, wna are giad to get them, even at rather hign rent — 8 can be bought at from $40 to $75 per a the price was $100 per acre there would still be a per- centage of revenue to be derived from them, It is a well known fact that lands just below Cincinnati, O., ot the same character, and that yield not one iota better returns, command pee S from 44 to $200 per acre and are find- n These lands ¢ are steadily Increasing in value and are rap 9 A 2 into the hands of those who will hold them for permanent in- vestwent. The planters who cultivate these lands buy their supplies at Mt. Vernon, and a steam fe is kept busy carrying traders toand supplies from the city. This entire country adjacent to Mt. Vernon is noted for the production of choice white flint corn, and her merchants and grain men handle millions ot bushels of the same annually. The Mt. Vernon Hominy Mill Company has one of the largest mills in the State located here, and manufacture into hominy, a and cornmeal over 1. bushels of white corn annually, Another feature that adds new value to lands here is the fact that the city is located on the Ohio River, and the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, at the very door to the South, whose demands are already very heavy and constantly in- creasing for this white corn meal, passes through here. This makes Mt. Vernon one of the best corn markets in the country, and that cereal alwaye commands St. Louis prices de- ie at landings on the Ohio River near this city MOUNT VERNON, the ‘‘Capital of Posey, is a most beautiful little city of 5,500 inhabitants. In addition to this number may be added a population of about eight hundred colored people. The first thought that is most apt to occur to the mind of a newcomer is that Mount Vernon has plenty of wealth at its command, for the evi- dence of a free flow of money is to be seen on all sides. The public. buildings are not (as in many of our old county seats) of inferior design and finish, but, on the contrary, are ornaments "ot architectural beauty that would do honor to any small city. The court-house and jail cost $105,000 and are very handsome. Nearly $40, 000 is in- vested in public school buildings, there being three graded school buildings, one High School, and one colored school. The corps of teachers are the — of any to be found in our large cities, and as a consequence the rade is very eign. Mt. Vernon citizens can be ſastly proud of their magnificent public schools. Added to these is a perfect system of water-works recently built by the city, there being at present seventy-six hydrants scattered within the fire limits. ith all this, the county is almost entirely out of cows 1—— the city ny tow te but $40, - 000. Taxes are remarkably low, the rate for 8 State and city taxes being but $2.70 on the $i90 on an assessed valuation of one- third. The low rate of taxation should serve to make Mt. Vernon sought after by manufacturing interests. And not this only, for in addition are the facilities offered by two competing lines of railroad and the Ohio River, and the low rates of freight. There is not a city in the West that offers more flattering inducements to the capitalist and manufacturer. THE MANUFACTURING INTERESTS. The business men of the city, realizing the fact that it takes vim and push to succeed, are fully alive to all that affects the welfare of their town, * stand —1 f to meet more than half way any 8 at may wish to change from Eastern Western fields of laber. Coal can be K. tor manufacturing purposes at about 80 cents per ton. In fact, should any corporation see fit to turn their eyes this way they would find all sorts of in- ducements offered them to locate here per- manently. Already there are three large flour - ing mills here, one of which—W. C. Fuhrer & Co.’s—turned out during the month of March 9,500 barrels of flour, besides handling 43,000 bushels of wheat and 75,000 bushels of corn. Roth the other milis also do a very fine business. Two large planing mills give em- tae to some ninety workmen, and a oundry, very complete in all its appoint- ments, employs about thirty skilled mechan- ies. Without any boom of any sort, Mount Vernon has steadily enlarged her borders and now, in this day of booms and real estate infla- tions, she stands ready to reap full benefit. She is one of the handsomest little cities in In- diana, and her future gives every promise of being a bright and prosperous one. M. The Spring Top Coat. This garment is absolutely necessary to the costume of every gentleman who, considers comfort and style as factors in his every-day costume. The winter overcoat is too cumber- some, and, as the morning and evening air will have a Fuge of frost in it for some time to come, aspring overcoat is entirely apropos. Famous shows an elegant line of these gar- ments in American and foreign woolens, tailer- made and perfect fitting, $10to $25. Take a look at them to-day. LOCAL NEWS.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breatho freely, sleep soundly and undisturbed;torise refreshed, head clear, brain active and free from. pain or ache; to know that uo poisonous, pu- trid matter defiles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hearing; to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is indeed a blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To purchase immunity from such a fate should be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatTcH NAW YorK, April 7.—Much misunderstand- ing exists in Episcopal church circles regard- ing the important changes in the prayer-book made by the general convention of 1836. Church members in many instances, and clergymen in not a few, have been in doubt as to when the changes go into effect, whether heir use is obligatory or discretionary, ‘whether they will appear in newly pub- ‘lished prayer-books, and what they are. ‘Bishop Potter, in a concise letter to — has stated that the ‘hav ther worship, their use is o where the Rubric designates it as discretion- ‘ary,and that until the same authority shall remove them, it is not within the discretion of any Episcopalian minister to omit or disuse The changes have already gone into effect, but will not appear in the text of the er book until further orders shall have ‘them. — taken and in the general convention.

Anson Persuades a Sporting Man to Bet On the Chicagos—A Family of Famous Ball Players—The Old Marshalltown Club— The Game To-Morrow Gen. Paine’s New Yacht—Sperting Gossip. A well-known sporting man of this city called on Capt. Adrian C. Anson of the Chi- cago Club last evening at the Lindell Hotel and had a talk covering more than an hour’s time. Anson took the trouble of going into details about the strength of the new club and dwelling particularly upon the batting strength ofthe new men. ‘‘When I tell you that Sunday, Ryan and Sullivan are going to do as heavy batting this year as Dal- rymple, Gore and Keily did last year,’’ said the big fellow, ‘‘I’m giving it to you dead straight. I’m morally certain that the Chi- cagos will win two out of three of the games we are about to play, and the condition of our men will prove it to you if you take the trouble to look-into it for yourself.’’ Anson then took the sporting man and pointed out to him the young players whom he had not seen before. He dilated upon the pitching of Pyle, the catching of Daly, the batting and fielding of Sullivan, and the gen- erally prime condition of the playersas a whole. He then took the trouble to point out to the sporting man the weakness of the Browns in the box, the poor condition of Oaruthers and the error column ofthe clubin yesterday’s game and. summarizing these various arguments, asked the sporting man how it was possible for the Browns to win. The result of this talk was that the sporting man went immediately and placed $2500n the Chicagos winning the game to-day. This sum was bet even and the sporting man said to-day: ‘‘I didn’t like to bet against the home team, but Anson’s arguments were so strong and he was so very confident of winning, that Ididn’t see my way out of it. Notwith- standing the fact that there is considerable favor shown to the Chicagos in the little bet- ting that I’ve been able to see, I haven’t seen odds given one way or the other. The sentiment is not as strong as it was in the fall when both cities were on fire over the games, and there was some reason to believe that one or the other club would show up particularly strong. Now thereisn’tan old-timer in the city who would feel safe in calling the result ofthe games, and the arguments on both sides are pretty strong. St. Louis people will not bet unless there is something big to bet upon. THINKS THEM GREAT. Burns, the Chicago third baseman, is one of the Windy City team who thinks that the Browns are a good ball team. ‘‘In my opin- jon,’’ said he, to-day, the champions of the Association are one of the strongest all- around clubs in the worid and that the best team in the country need not be ashamed to be beaten by them. I’m inclined to think that we will win a majority of the games this spring for the reason that we are in better trim to play hard ball than they are. Our young pitchers are strong and our catchers have shown that they know bow to receive.

There was a name signed on the register at the Lindell Hotel this morning which will awaken many ‘‘old associations’’ in the minds of those who remember the time when first bounce was out. The inscription was as follows: H. Anson, Marshalltown, IO.“ The H' stands for Henry, or Hank, as he is more familiarly known in the district from which he comes, and he is, as his name might lead one to imagine, a relative of the. famous man who wields the destinies ofthe Chicago Club. ‘‘Hank’’ An- son is Adrian’s father and is a venerable gray- bearded man now nearly 60 years of age. He has come down from the Prohibition State es- ecially to see his celebrated son steer the Vhite Stockings on to victory (or defeat) and he is well able to appreciate a good game of base ball, for was he nota great wpe him- self, once upon a time? hat he was, and he was the first one, too, to teach the now famous first baseman to wield a little bat with his tiny hands, when Anson’s hands were tiny, and that was a long time ago. In the goodold days Marshalitown had a ball club, which was known to a more or less limited fame as „„The Marshalitowns.’’ At one time in its history the club had in its ranks three great players. Hank Anson, who guarded the rock which has since been called third bag; Adrian C. Anson, who made double plays atsecond, and Adrian’s brother, who retired men at regular intervals on first. This was the representation of the Anson family onthe ball field anditis said that they were well represented. Old legends now out of print haveitthatin those days Adrian was a tall, ungainly, ‘‘countryfied’’ sort of a fellow, with angular bones and long, flowing, curly, flaxen hair that streamed down his broad shoulders and floated grace- fully in the wind as he ran bases or made desperate efforts to hit the bail far out in the field. These same legends also have it that Anson scorned to wear shoes and took no heed of broken glass or slag on the base paths. These stories are denied by Anson as ma- licious, but his denial has never put a stop to their circulation. By degrees Anson became widely known, until he had reached the aeme of fame as the cap- tain of the great pennant winners. Old Mr. Anson takes great pride in his son, and claims that half his greatness is really dueto his own teaching and the noble ex- ample which the Captain has emulated so well. Mr. Anson is now in the brick and clay- pipe business in Iowa and has become rich and influential since he threw to his son from third to first. A KIND CAPTAIN. With one or two exceptions, Anson is a great favorite with the Chicagos, especially with the young players. These latter havea great respectand admiration for their chief, and to win his approval and good will is their foremost endeavor. When off the ball field Anson is kind and gentle with all of them: kinder and gentler though when they play good ball, but strict and stern when things are going the wrong way with the club. He treats us all alike, said one of the young bloods to-day. ‘‘He is familiar now with me andthen with another and makes no favorite ofany. The best way to win his regard is to play your position well and the best way to lose itis to play it badly. When he is once your friend he’ll do anything in his power to help you, but when he is your enemy, well, good bye.’’ NO RELATION. Pitcher Baldwin, who accomplished such great feats in the Northwest last year, and is regarded as one of the coming men on the Chicagos, is quite a handsome,as well asa strong and strapping young man. At close range he resembies ‘‘Kid’’ Baldwin some- what, but still is in no way connected with that very voluble player. ‘*There are three Bald - wins in the big associations,’’ said he to-day, „myself, Charley Baldwin or ‘Lady’ Baldwin of the Detroite and Kid Baldwin of the Cincin- natis. [am connected with neither the one nor the other. Kags, Baldwin is from Lan- sing, Mich., while come from Pittsburg. Pittsburg is a great town for ball 2 and has p uced some good ones. If I turn out as good as some of them I'll be satisfied.’’ THE LIFE OF THE GAME. President Von Der Ahe made every endeavor yesterday to ascertain whether Latham would arrive in time to participate in to-day’s game, but could not say this afternoon whether the eat third-baseman would arrive in the city -night or to-morrow morning. At ail events Mr. Von Der Ahe is certain that he will be here in time to play to-morrow rnoon and hence his name is announced in the positions of the respective teams for that contest. The batteries for the game to- morrow will be Caruthers or Foutz and en ag for the Browns and 9 and Darling —4.— hicagos.

Nearly all ofthe Chicagos were present at the game yesterday. President ding is missed among the players at the Lindell. Williamson thinks that Kaes, the Brown’s new pitcher, will make a good ball player with a little more practice. There was evidently something wrong with the tian yesterday. Oan it be possible that John has lost form altogether? . . ent Stern, of the Cincinnatis, yester- day signed George McGinnis, the pitcher. Mr. Stern considers the pitchers’ box the weakest spot in the nine. The present games will be the first real test yet given under favorable conditions to the new rules. If the batting is over heavy, it is safe to say that pitchers will not play for such high salaries next season. In talking about rough play on the diamond, Pyle said yesterday: ‘‘I never saw a baseman run into another baseman et. When a man hes to guard bases himself he has a whole- some respect for others when he fs running.’’ Anson is the only man on the Chicago team who says he is certain that the club will win the League championship. Clarkson thinks that Pittsburg will close ahead of the Whites, and that Boston will wind up in the fifth notch, A strange fact about Anson, the Chicagos“ big captain, is that he never refers to the World’s Champions as ‘‘the Browns’’ or as anything more definite than ‘‘them fellows,’’ these people, ‘‘this club,’’ they, etc. The whipping in 1886 did not change him a par- ticle in this respect. ‘*Bill’’ Sunday, ‘‘the sprinter, was in- quiring this morning for a file with which to sharpen his spikes. ‘‘Don’t you know that spikes are forbidden?’’ Sunday was asked. es, I know they are, said he, but not the kind I’m going to wear.’’ Here is a chance for Comiskey to kick. EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK. Gen. Paine’s Scheme Acts as a Bomb Among ' the Yachtsmen. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. NEW YORK, April 7.—The news from Boston that Gen. Paine intended to build a new sloop to meet the Thistle did not cause any great amount of surprise at the New York Yacht Club last night. Several of the members who dropped in late in the evening had not heard of it, but they smiled and remarked Gen. Paine was possessed of a large amount of what is commonly described as ‘‘sporting blood.’’ The news first reached the club in the shape of a dispatch from a Boston gentieman deep in the councils of Gen. Paine, and Mr. Burgess tu Niels Olsen, steward ofthe club. The dis- patch said that Gen. Paine would build a steel rete + eighty-five feet on the water: line and that the builders would be Pusey & Jones of Wilmington, Del. This news was the theme of discussion at the club-house during the evening and it was conceded at once that she was designed to meet the Thistle. A num- ber of circumstances, apparently small in themselves, when combined indicate that Gen. Paine 's determination is notasudden one. Several months ago when a Boston paper pub- lished what was said to be a working plan of the Thistle, but which subsequently proved to be nothing of the sort, Mr. Burgess cabled to Mr. Watson, designer of the Thistie, asking for the water-line length of the new catter. This Mr. Watson declined to give. The deep interest in the Scotch boat evinced by Gen. Paine and Mr. Burgess at that time indicates that they were considering the ad- visability of preparing an antagonist for her. Subsequently from Boston came the announce- ment that Gen. Paine was negotiating with Dr. J. C. Barron of this city for the sale of the Mayflower. Close upon the heels ot this announcement Gen. Paine and Mr. Burgess came to New York. They were seen at the time. as was Dr. Barron, by a POST- DISPATCH correspondent. Dr. Barron denied that there was any truth in the story that he had bought the Mayflower as had been stated. Gen. Paine said he had not sold the sloop, but intimated that she was on the market. It was stated last night that Gen. Paine and Mr. Burgess had a conference with Dr. Barron. They wanted $20,000 for the Mayflower and Dr. Bar- ron was willingto give $17,500. These figures had been reached in correspondence and the conference was for the purpose of arriving at an agreement. It was said by some vachts- men last night that it looked asif Dr. Barron and Gen. Paine had agreed to split the differ- ence and the sale had finally been effected. It would not surprise any yachtsmen if the May- flower’s real owner remained Incognito during the coming summer. It was not certain yet that she would go to Europe, but it was known that Dr. Barron was going. ‘‘Gen. Paine,’’ said one old salt, ‘‘is not the man to own.two big sloops at once.“ The story that he intended to build a new steel sloop was looked upon as a clincher in in the arguments in favor of the whole sup- position. It was accepted as circumstantial evidence that he had parted company with the Mayflower. ‘‘I know,’’ said one of the yachtsmen, ‘‘that he is not paying any atten- tion to the Mayflower at present. She is in the hands of Mr. Burgess and he is making the arrangements for the trip abroad. As for the proposed new boat the announce- ment in regard to her was something in the nature of a bombinthe New Yorkcamp. There has been more or less apathy about the de- fense of the America’s cup. Efforts have been made to start a syndicate to build a new sloop and one aspiring designer has submitted a model for a vessel 102 feet over all; but no one has so far offered to take any stock in the en- terprise. The old boats were believed to be good neues. and with singular unanimity loca achtsmen have begun to sit in silent admiration in front of the model of the Puritan which hangs below those ofthe Mayflower and Galatea in the New York Yacht Club’s. model-room. Gen. Paine’s 4 and sportsman-like move- ment will, it was thought, at least puta stop- per on further attempts to organize a syndic- ate, and Boston will again in all probability have the honor of defending the America’s cup. Description of the New Yacht. By Telegraph to the POsST-DISPATCH. Boston, April 7.—Gen. Charles J. Paine, owner of the yacht Mayflower, has decided to build a steel center-board yacht about the size of the Mayflower to defend the American cup. She will be smooth-seamed both above and below the water line. Mr. Edward Bur- 1 who is now at work on her lines, said to- ay: “She is to be built at Pusey & Jones’ Works, Wilmington, Del. The contract was sent to the firm yesterday, and the work will be begun at once, Part of the plating is now ready. Mr. Pusey was in Boston two days ago and the details were agreed upon. The plating will be steel av- eraging five sixteenths and one fourth of an inch. The craft will be 86 feet in length on the water line-and and will be a much stiffer boat than the Puritan. Both the Thistle and the unborn and, as yet nameless sloop, will have overhanging sterns. The difference in sail area, which has been noticeable in recent con- tests, will not appear; orif it does it will be slightly in favor of the challenger this time. As the Thistle is 8 feet on the water-line the new boat will be slightly the longer, though her length will not exceed 86 feet She will be slightly narrower than the Mayflower, so she will have a beam of about 2 feet to compare with the 20 feet of her opponent. The new yacht will carry about the same spread as the Mayflower. Gen. Paine believes that the limit of the size of sails has been about reached in the Mayflower and does not wish to add much forfear of getting an unwieldy craft. The Thistle will doubtless need larger sails than the new American boat will need to give a slight allowance on ac- count of her — 15 increase in length, but she will possibly get some allowance by reason of the larger sail spread of her rival. Gen. Paine believes that greater ultimate speed can be attained with narrower beam than has been formerly employed.

In the first place, the season comes too early there to warrant running a horse at his best in a great match; and, secondly, there is little chance for gate money. I have offered, and still offer, to race at Louisville in May. Now that it is known that Charley Mitchell is on his way to this country, it has created uite a stir and much talk in sporting circles. he question is: ‘‘Who will he meet if his trip is for business?’’ Jack Dempsey will cer- tainly insist on fighting him, but John L. Sul. livan has a contract with the Englishman, in which he agrees to meet him first. The fact that Sullivan has declared that he will give no part of the gate receipts to any of his oppo- nents unless they best him may not suit Mitchell’s idea of ‘‘what is proper, my dear boy, you know.“ There is a rocky road ahead of Charley in this country. Science and Art. This is the recognized age of inventions, which all tend in their way to simplify labor or give their advantages to mankind; but nothing so new and novel or so handsome in its effect has been brought out as what is now attracting universal attention as the newly patented decoration for interiors— Pa Crusta.’’ This, as its name signifies, is a composition of paper applied in a moist state to the walls by the use only of the hands of the artists, and so its effects of relief are always original and never twice alike; in fact, ite finish is only limited by the capabilities of the artist. Pa Crusta’’ is allowed to dry and harden, which is enhanced by the use of a harmless chemical bath which stiffens the texture of the paper when fully dry; it is then quite as hard as though it were a solid body. In this crude state it is given into the hands of the decora- tor, who brings to his aid all the great advan- tages known to his profession, and colors, metaiizes, bronzes, or paints its surface. Truly, the results are grand, for nothing has been seen that can be considered its equal for the decoration of dining-rooms and entrance halls of private residences, churches, offices, public halls, theaters, etc. It possesses many advantages over the high relief goods of the past, and is destined to take and maintain a supremacy over even those of the future. The first to recognize its beauties and the adaptability of this valuable patent for interior work was the well-known firm of decorators, Messrs. FeW. Rosenthal & Co., St. Louis and Kansas City, who have secured from the in- ventor the sole right touseand apply ‘‘Pa Crusta’’ in the State of Missouri. In securing this Messrs. Rosenthal & Co, have shown themselves as being awake in meeting the requirements of critical taste, as has been their aim heretofore, which we understand has been received with such favor by the people of this city and vicinity. Itis less than two months since it was invented, butevenin thisshort space of time it has been applied to many private houses of St. Louis and the show-rooms of its merchants, always calling forth admiration for its per- fectness of beauty and its truly artistic finish. Messrs. Rosenthal & Co. may well take pride in holding forth the advantages of Pa Crusta. At their stores, 410 and 412 North Fourth street, St. Louis, and 105 and 107 East Twelfth street, Kansas City, may be seen samples of this ma- terial in its unfinished state, and some beauti- fully decorated samples intended for special purposes. The office of the Globe-Democrat and the large elegant show-rooms of Mills & averill, southeast corner Broadway and Pine, will speak for this beauty, Pa Crusta. PROUITI’S MONEY. Two Sons Contesting for Their Mother's Share ef a Valuable Estate, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, April 7.—When William Prouitt, an eccentric ink manufacturer, died in this city about a year ago leaving nearly $2,000,000 to his next of kin, a search was instituted for Mrs. Annie Frances Barker, a long-lost sister, whose share of the estate amounted to $200,- 000. Miss Prouitthad married A. E. Barker, a farmer of Castleton, Vt., in 1852. In 1864, after twelve years of unpleasant married life, she took to flight, leaving her two sons, Charles and William, behind her with their father. All search for her proved unsuccessful and her husband finally procured a divorce on the ground of desertion and mar- ried again. One son, Charles, settled in Kan- sas, and William made his home with his uncle, James McNab, at No. 11 Debevoise Place, Brooklyn. The search for Mrs. Barker, which was instituted last year after the death of her millionaire brother, proved successful. Mr. McNab, through an advertisement in one of the papers here, discovered her in Asbury, N. J., where she was housekeeper in the fam- — of Dr. Alfred Gale under the assumed name of Frances Carleton. She at first seemed re- luctant to disclose her identity, and it was only after great persuasion on the part of her sons, whom she had not seen for twenty vears, that she consented to accompany Mr. MeNab to Brooklyn. She told her sons that their father had ill treated her almost from the day of their marriage, and thaton onecold winter night she turned her back forever on him and her home. She was in different States, supporting herself as a servant, and finally, in 1884, she settled in the famity of Dr. Gale. Soon after taking up her residence in Brooklyn, Mrs. Barker received ; as firs ins of her share She died uary two wills, the first on January she left Shoes, in plain and fancy styles.

NEw YorK, April 7.—The American Society of Civil Engineers talked guns last night at their club house, 127 East Twenty-third street. All the talk was based on a paper read a month ago by William Metcalf on ‘‘Steel; Its Proper- ties and Its Uses in Structures and in Heavy Guns.’’ Lieut. W. H. Jacques of the United States Navy criticised Mr. Metcalf’s advocacy of the German system and closed in this way: I the Government is to offer prizes for the most efficient ordnance, the field should be un- restricted, except by conditions of efficiency. It would not be a difficult task for artillerists to lay down rules which would insure a thorough comparison of weight, economy, energy, penetration, etc., but let this compe- tition be open to the world, the guns to be made at the competitor’s expense, the Gov- ernment paying a handsome reward tothe successful one only. The proposal of the Bethleham Iron Company just made, describ- ing the inauguration of a plant for the manu- facture of modern steel gun forgings and solid steel armor, so long in advance of any positive inducement or guarantee from the Govern- ment that even a single contract will be awarded them, is a powerful indorsement of the decision reached so long ago by the Civil Bureau of Ordnance that forged steel built-up guns were the best and solid steel armor the most efficient. Icannot understand why the Pittsburg manufacturers, who have urged the use of cast guns, have not made them at their own expense and risk, if such guns can be made so cheaply and are so sure of success. Whitworth and Krupp and Schneider have succeeded because they have heeded the laws that a long experimenting has provided, be- cause they understand the benefits of anneal- ing and of the controlling power of heat and they build up guns because they have acquired methods of performance which are both scien tific and mechanical. DR. GATLING’S OPINION. Dr. H. J. Gatling, he who invented the Gatling gun, had this to say among other things: Steel for gun construction should de neither too hard nor too soft, and should have the combined qualities of toughness, made from the most carefully selected ma- terialand should not be over-heated. Gun steei should not be hammered, for the reason that when large ingots are placed under the hammer the biows of the hammer will harden and condense the parts of the steel struck, and in a measure render them as metal, less uniform in texture, and it may be doubtful if the best system of temper- ing and annealing will bring it back to a homogenous state. Hard steel which con- tains a large percentage of carbon, if used in gun construction, should be heated and an- nealed with the greatest possible care, and it often happens, after undergoing the most careful treatment, it will be left under internal strain and will be liable to crack or break when subjected to sudden shocks or vio- lent and repeated strains. Hence, I think a milder, tough stee! of good quality, that is uniform in texture and possessing a high limit of elasticity, will be the best mate- rial for gun construction. At all events, uns made of such mild steel will not be so iable to burst and, consequently, will be safer to the men using them than guns made of harder and higher grades of steel. It should be remembered thatthe best qualities of steel of any kind can be made worthless for gun uses by overheating and overanneal- ing. I agree with Mr. Metcalf that heavy guns of great power, especially for fort use, can be castofa good grade of steel on the Rodman principle that will havea great elas- ticity and springing power to resist abra- sion, combined with high strength and power to offer uniform resistance in every direction to all the strains to which they might de subjected. Such guns would be good for service ashore or afloat, would be cheaper than built guns for naval use and can be made on the built- up plan have more power in proportion to their weight than steel-cast guns. It would be well for such guns to be made regardless of the cost, but in these days of economy it would be wise to have guns of mild steel for fort use, cast on the Rodman principle which would be equal in power and effectiveness to any inthe world. Steel-cast guns for fort use could be made of greater weight than guns for naval service.’’ To be absolutely certain of obtaining dia- monds exactly as represented, To obtain the newest and most beautiful styles of settings of guaranteed quality, To obtain the very lowest prices and the best bar- gains, PURCHASE OF THE MERMOD & JACCARD JEWELRY CO., Corner Fourth and Locust.
