Salisbury’s Alleged Lat- est Move Against the Parnellites. — — Imprisonment of the Irish Parliamentary Party Contemplated. — — Milbank Prison, in London, Being Prepared for Their Reception. English Political Cireles Excited Over the Report—The Premier’s Significant Re- marks at the Goschen Banquet—The Pall Mall Gazette’s Hit at the Times— Queen Victoria's Drawiag-Room—Ger- many’s Indictment Against France—A Strong Protest Against Coercion—For- eign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, May 10.—A piece of news reaches mein great haste this morning, of the most extraordinary and unparalleled description. At first sight it appears astounding to the extent of incredibility, but I have ev- ery reason to believe it well- founded. Indeed, it rests on no so-called authority of any kind, but upon a plain state- ment of certain facts. At the banquet to Goschen Saturday night, Salisbury declared the time must soon come for the Government of England, by some short. sharp ex- pression of their will, to put an end to a state of things which makes them ridiculous.’’ These words were noticed at the time, but no one was then in a position to guess attheir significance. The facts I learn this morning indicate that this ‘‘short,sbarp’’ method is to consist, if circumstances favor, in the wholesale arrest of THE IRISH PARLIAMENTARY PARTY. The following axe gde facts; Hol. Loge, Gov- ernor of Millbank Prison, the largest and most modern of her Majesty’s prisons in London, was summoned to London bythe Commis- sioners of Prisons by telegraph, at a moment’s notice. He obeyed. Since his arrival the warders have received and executed orders to prepare for immediate occupation sixty rooms for first-class misdemeanaptg) that is a whole wing of the pri For sev- eral days furniture wagomp have been busy bringing beds, mgetresses, fre- places and common fur ure, which is allowed under such cirdfimetances. The question naturally arisgs; why sixty rooms are needed? The recollesudon that the clock tower of Westminster is the usual place of confinement for Parliamentary offenders, and has accommodation for ten persons, helps to answer the question. Ten and sixty make up seventy, which is not far from the total of the whole working force of the Parnellite party in London, There bas been no increase of pris- oners at Millbank, and there have never been any number approaching sixty first-class mis- demeanants in the whole United Kingdom. At the same time three or four is generally the total. The Governor of Halloway Gaol in- formed me himself not long ago of the number of first-class misdemeanants from all parts of England sentto him. Itis, therefore, impos- sible not to believe that these facts indicate the expectation of the Government, in conse- quenge of the bitter obstruction. As the com- mittee stage of the crimes bill approaches the end, it will give them the oppor- tunity, if not force upon them the necessity of striking the big blow they positivelv contemplate in the arrest of the whole Irish party. That the facts are as I have stated them, I know. The inference, course, is open to doubt. I express it, there- fore, with natural reserve, though none other seems possible for the moment, A HIT AT THE TIMES. The Pall Mali Gazette takes the wind out of the Times to-day by the publication of long letters signed by Dillon and O’Brien, anda manifesto signed by Healy, Davitt, Dillon, O’Brien, McCarthy and Hartington, express- ing sympathy with the Phenix Park murder- ers, and apologizing to Carey, Curley, Brady and others for the necessity of publicly denouncing their action. The letters are admirable forgeries and have been submitted to all the members named who are in London, They admit the close resemblance to their handwriting. The accompanying text is taken in great part from the Times, chal- lenging the signatures to have recourse to the courts oflaw and avoid cheap denials. The serious tone declaring the ‘‘blood-stained cause of home rule to be henceforth impos- sible, is kept up to the end of the article. The joke is finally given away in these words: These documen s, ghastly in- criminating beyond all precedent as they are are not all. Like our contemporary, we have more of them in reserve. In fact we may say we are prepared to supply them to order. For terms, etc., apply to the manager. The opening of the American Exhibition yesterday was a great success, Some ten thousand peopie, most of whom found seats, attended chiefly on invitation to see Buffalo Biil’s Wild West. Literally everybody in Lon- don was present. I have never seen a more representative audience. | THE REPORT DISCREDITED. Lonpon, May 10.—The Pall Mall Gazette pub- lishes a rumor that the Government have ordered sixty first-class celisto be prepared in Milbank Prison forthe accommodation of Parnellite members Of Parliament cuss religious progress and capital, temper- ance, theft and other subjects. it is expected that American prelates will attend. Cardinal Manning is the leading spirit in the move- ment. BRADLAUGH’S BILL, The House of Commons sat until 5:80 o’ clock this morning. On a motion being put during the night by Mr. Delisie (Conservative. and Unionist) for an adjournment, Mr, Bradlaugh said he desired a division on the motion, sim- ply to show who were opposed to his motion for the second reading of the oaths bill. Mr. Delisie’s motion was rejected by a vote of 185 to 104. After several further ineffectual at- tempts to adjourn, Mr. Bradlaugh said he was satisfied that a large majority of those present were against adjourning and agreed to with- draw his motion. . AGAINST COERCION. The Congregational ministers of London, at acharter meeting held to-day, adopted al- most unanimously a resolution offered by Dr. Parker of the City Temple, protesting against the Irish coercion bill, now before Parliament, demanding that the Irish people shall be treated with justice, and urging the Govern- ment to adopt a policy of conciliation in deal- ing with the Irish qaestion. THE QUEEN’S DRAWING-ROOM, List of American Ladies to Be Presented at the Knglish Court To-Day. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LonpoN, May 10.—The Queen's drawing- room to-day will be the largest. held for years past. Five hundred ladies, mostly English, will be presented. The following are the American ladies to be presented: Mrs. Arthur Post, Miss Morgan, granddaughter of J. 8. Morgan; Mrs. Ezra Warner and Miss Warner, Chicago; Mrs. Van Wart and Miss Van Wart of New York; Mrs. H. L. Horton of Brooklyn; Miss Gallup of Providence; Mrs. Whitewright Stuart and Miss Florence N. Smith of New York, and Mrs. Von Zolikofer of Virginia. France, GERMANY’S INDICTMENT AGAINST FRANCE. LONDON, May 10.—A dispatch to the Times from Paris says: The Leipsic Supreme Court has prepared an indictment covering 500 Pages against the persons arrested for con- nection with the case in which the French commissary. Schnaebelle, was implicated and the trial of which will begin a fortnight hence. The indictment covers all the evidence in de- tall collected several months past regarding barracks elections, M. Deroulde’s trip, M. Schnaebelie and his emissaries, the Patriotic League, and its newspapers and letters, and, in short, says the correspondent, it is an in- dictment against France as much as against the prisoners. MELINITE EXPERIMENTS. PARIS, May 10.—In relation to the dispatch from Berlin stating that experiments showed that melinite decomposes if kept long, and is therefore of no use for war purposes, the Government assert that the substance experi- mented within Berlin was not melinite and base their assertion on the fact that melinite is unknown in Germany. M. LAMOUREAUX’ sutr. M. Lamoreaux, the manager of the Eden | Theatre, in which“ Lohengrin“ was produced recefitly, but which was withdrawn owing t opposition by a portion of the people to Ger- man works, has entered suit against the news- paper La France to recover 60,000 francs dam- ages for an attack made on the opera. THE MOBILIZATION BILL. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day Gen. Boulanger, Minister of War, submitted his bill for an experimental mobilization of the army in October. The Chamber, however, decided that the sugar-tax bill must precede the military bill. „ Austro- Hungary. HUNGARY’S GRATITUDE TO FRANCE. VIENNA, May 10.—Count Zichy writes in favor of Hungary entering the French exhibition an expression of the thanks of the nation 8 the sense of liberty which originated in France, and which has largely benefited Hun- gary. HOSPITAL HORRORS, Inthe Reichsrath yesterday Herr Perner- storfer called attention to the management of the Allgemeines Krankenhaus, the largest hospitalin Vienna. He said that statements had been made, which appeared to be correct, that patients were given unwholesome and scanty food, and sometimes were kept for days without any food;that there was only one bath in the hospital, and that the nurses and attendants extorted money from patients, and ill-treated those who were unable to pay. The Government promised that an exhaustive inquiry would be made. Germany. WON’T GO TO GASTEIN. BERLIN, May 10.—Emperor William’s phy- sicians have advised him not to goto Gastein this year.

They Will Be Presented to the House To-Night. A Memorable Event in Munici- pal Legislation. | The Petition Far Beyond All Comparison— 80,000 Signatures Secured, Meaning One Adult to Every Three, or One in Six of the Whole Population—All Done Without a Dollar Spent for Soliciting—Meaning of the Petition—Delegate E. F. Stene to Make the Address To-Night—The Anti- Dust Crusade. Abraham Lincoln in 1861 called for 75,000 vol- unteers, And he got them. The POST-DIsPATCH On April 19 called for 75,000 protests against the dust nuisance. And it got them. To- night, therefore, will be people's night at the House of Delegates. To-night 75,000 of the citizensof St. Louis will make addresses in the House of Dele- gates. A singular thing about the addresses is that they will all have the same theme and will favor the same grand object.! Another thing not quite so singular is that the plea of each address will be for the aboli- tion of one thing. That one thing is the dust nuisance. The 75,000 voices will also plead for domestic happiness, for daily comfort, for a beautified city, for cleanliness, for health and for longer life. When they ask for the death of the dust they will ask for the death of a system of monopoly which gives the biessing of sprink- ling to a few and then bleeds those few. They will ask for the death of a system which ex- cludes the poor from the health-giving bene- fits of sprinkling. They will ask for the death of a system which leaves the plain houses of the sons of toil at the merey of the dust demon, while the grassy grounds and shaded palaces of afflu- ence are saved from his insidious assaults. They will ask, In fine, forall that which „ makes lite worthdivinge | through the These addresses will be made Post. DISPATCH petitions which will be pre- sented to the House by Delegate E. F. Stone. These petitions are the most remarkable ex- pressions of public opinion ever gathered to- gether in a large city. Remarkable for the number of signers. Remarkable forthe unanimity that moved each signing pen. Remarkable for the total absence of all class distinction. Employer and employed, rich and poor join their names together, and the ink from the cultivated chirography biends in the married harmony of united minds with the careless scraw! of the ignorant. Remarkable for the total absence of religious differences. Atheist and Christian grasped the same pen, and whether one word or two were in the signer’s mind, they agreed on doing the best for this. Remarkable for the sinking of all personal feuds. Men who had not spoken to each other for years seemed giad of the chance to show by signing together that a common cause made common friendship. Remarkable for the spontaneity and prompt- ness of the response. Remarkabie, last and best of all, for the tender touch of woman. Not for a dozen here and there, but for the thousand fair hands that traced in dolicate lines their confidence in man’s justice. On April 1 the Post-DISPATCH announced its intention of placing anti-dust petitions in the hands of the people. On April 19 the first petitions went out, and on April 30, just eleven days after the first was issued, they were called in. On May 6, six days later, the last petition went to the bindery. From the date of the announcement to the beginning of the bind- ing twenty-two days elapsed. The petitions were out altogether seventeen days, or from April 19 to May 6. They went out to do battle for the right in three grand divisions. One division marched down through the business exchanges, another swept through the public pisces and caught the signatures ot men, while the third in the large dry goods stores, the drug stores and the homes, captured the names of the ladies. The energy of those in whose hands or stores the petitions were placed seemed tireless. Assisted by such an indefatigable corps of assistants, the Post- Disrarck is able to-night to present to the House of Delegates the greatest petition that ever passed the threshold of the City Hall. In the seventeen days the petitions were be- fore the public they were signed by 75,000 per- sons. Of these, in round numbers, 52,000 were men and 23,000 women. The petitions, if placed separately in a line, would reach within twenty-five feet of a mile, and the names, if placed the same way, would OTHER PETITIONS. The only other pubiie petitions 1 P ot the petition or not. Not a person was to sign the anti-dust petition, if he ons within reach of the people. Pparpose the Fosr-Disraron hired a corps | en whose duty was simply to distribute | localities. But they were forbidden to solicit a single name, as this entire work was left to the personal promptings of the citizens. The petitions by these means were placed in every business house and public resort in the city. The com- pleteness of the distribution is et- denced by. the grand array of names. When these petitions were filled the same corps of men collected and ro- turned them to the Post-DIsPATCH office. Be- sides this systematic distribution, many citi- zens who desired to circulate them personal- ly were supplied atthe counting-room of the Post- raren. What the total ot names contained in the petitions means can best be ascertained by an easy comparison. Inacity of 400,000 popula- tion it is reasonable to presume that not more tian 50 per cent of the population are adults. The 75,000 names on the Posr- DISPATCH petitions therefore represent one-third of the adult population of St. Louis, or that one adult m every three has signed against the dust. Or, taking the entire population, ineluding children of all ages, the signatures represent one-sixth of the entire population of St. Louis. Of the total registered vote the gentiemen’s signatures represent seven-eighths, aud ey nearly double the total vote cast at the lagt election. The Bound Volumes. The binding of the petitions was éempleted by the August Gast Lithographing anf) Bank- Note Company this morning and th@ books were sent to the Post-Disratca {office at noon i to-day. The, great Wass of parchment sheets have Deer bound into three volumes, each of which istwo feet long and one and one-half wide. The smallest contains the signatures of the exchanges, the Merchants’, Cot- ton, Real Estate, Mechanics’ and Woman's. This book, though the smallest, contains the names of the active and representative business portion ofthe city. The next largest volume contains the signatures of the lady residents of the city. But the largest of the three is the one which contains the gentle- men’s signatures. The sheets were originally sent opt, each one separately, with a lithographed cover, illustrative of the object of the petition, en- graved i: an expensive and elaborate mannem with a stout back-sheet of manilia and a sheet of tissue paper interlaced so as to keep the sheet olan. As fast as received in the dindery the covers and the surplus sheets were dis- carded and the parchment leaves containing the signatures sewed into a volume. The time for getting out the first edition of the leaves, for a quota of artists, as well as two large steam lithograph presses, also large force in the bindery, was one week. + THE BINDING. ras in unique. canvas, embellished and stained, in give it the antique appearance now so much sought after. The books are held closed by means of leather thongs, of which a pair are attached to the front and the back of the cover. A huge seal made from a die, representing a warrior readv for the fray adorns the front of the cover of the book containing the signatures of the different ex- changes, while the ladies’ and gen- tlemen’s books each have a separ- ate seal. That of the ladies’ representing a strawberry in luscious ripeness, and that of the gentlemen’s a beautiful carnation pink. The union of fruit and flowers in these seals suggests in a happy way the beautifying and fertilizing effect of water. The time occupied in stitching and binding these mammoth volumes for a corps ofa dozen in the bindery, including the girls who did tha sewing and the men who did the joining of the several parts, the cutting and trimming and finishing, was a total of five days. The petition is the largest the binders had ever handled, the largest they had ever heard of being done, and the largest that ever passed through a bindery in St. Louis. Before the House. Delegate E. F. Stone will present the peti- tion to the House of Delegates to-night, when the Duross bill comes up for second reading and reference to the committee. The volumes will be taken to the chamber at 6 o'clock to-night in the Post-DiIsPATCH wagon and delivered to Clerk Barrett for Mr. Stone. They will be carefully wrapped up and will not be opened until Mr. Stone shall do so at his desk and formally present the petition to the House. Mr. Stone will speak for 75,200 St. Louis citi- zens, as that is the number determined by actual count of the signatures. Really, how- ever, he will voice the sentiments of 80,000 citizens, as nearly 5,00 names reached the Post-DIsPaATcH office too late to be bound into the volumes. The House of Delegates will thus, to-night, pass through an era in ite history. Its mem- bers and their posterity will recall the fact thatthe present House had the honor of re- ceiving the grandest petition that ever illumined a legislative hall with its light or - 32 => * . | ) 1 2 »® 2 4 7 * — “ee “is ee oie 7 8 n ö — — ne ay - 3m 3 it = 1 1 mS ö Pe. oe. ba . the - gue» , . n r 1 n Ms a 2 3 Beers 5 4 hee” ee The binding is done in canvas, so as to add a The covers con of stout sailor order to

The Wilson controversy, involving the right et _a-stockholder to inspect the stock and Wansfer books of the St.Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company, whose annual election ‘Makes place to-morrow, was resumed. this | before Judge Seddon, The ¢ourt- oom was filled with attorneys and oth- ‘fs interested in the fight, and Mr. ‘O'Day was on hand with his _ white hat and a young attorney froin the legal Gepartment of the road. Mr. Wilson who . bases his right of inspection upon a certificate. often shares ofthe stock sat complacentiy with his legal adviser, Mr. Bacon, prepared to meet all the legal tacties of the second vice- “president, and the Court with an air of Yirmess seemed disposed to sqeulch any attempt at trifling or delay in the course of pleading. Mr. O’Day was until this morning to file an answer or re to the alternative writ of mandamus issued yesterday against the Frisco Railroad. Company. He handed it to the clerk, whereupon Mr. Bacon moved for judgment upon the return. The answer set forth that the writ'was defective, because neither the chief executive officer of the road nor the transfer agent, Mr. 2 had been served and the Second cé-President had not the authority to act; furthermore, that the books were required to be used for thirty days prior to the election by the clerks and office:s of the company in pre- = the lists of stock for voting — es, It has also averred that the relator, Mr. Wilson, waspursuing a vexatious course in mnivance/ with others who were not Ona-fide stockholders for the purpose of in- stituting sint and harrassing and annoying the real parties in interest. Mr. O’Day’s answer for the company ineluded the offer which he in his own return tothe E dge Dillon, namely, to hand over $375 in gash to Mr. Wilson for the surrender of Court overruled the motion for judg- m on the return and stated that it would 1 evidence at once as to the use of the beoks prior to fhe election and the steps here- Miore taken by the relator to obtain an in- péection of the stock and transfer-lists at the offices of the company. Mr. Wilson was plaved upon the stand, and he was followed by Mr. Bacon, showing the reception they had met with at the Company’s offices, the same line of testimony given on Saturday before Judge Dillon. Judge Seddon, after an hour of legal discus- sion, decided to grant a peremptory writ of mandamus ainst the company, requirin them to permit an inspection of the stock an transfer books to-day between 1 and3 o' clock. Mr. O'Day addressed the Court as to the effect of such a writ, as to whom it should be directed, upon whom it should be served and who should be punished for contempt of the order, who should go to jail aud so-forth. He eontended that the writ couid net be served upon him. Judge Seddon sald that was not the proper tite to discuss the matter. The writ would go aud the eourt’s officers would see that the proper parties were served. That was sufi cient fof the present. The Ashley Divorce Dismissed. Judge Dillon to-day rendered a de- cision in Court No. 4 in the Ashley con- tested divorce case. The Court dismisses the petition of the husband, Gilbert M. Ashley. in the 3 language: On the evidence Ido not think that the plain - tiff is entitled to a divoree. The charge of in- fidelity against his wife he has failed to prove and toe evidence satisfies me that the acts of violence on the part of the wife which were roven were provoked by the vile epithets and auntsofthebusband. Such language used in addressing a wife could not be used by any man whe entertained any respect for his wife. On euch oceasions she used foul language, but it was provoked by his own course. For the practice of the wife in thant beer saloons unaccompanied by her husband and drinking in a miscellaneous crowd of all characters found at such places 1 find no excuse, and 1 must say that 1 was astonished to hear some of Mrs, Ashley's companions, apparently RESPECTABLE YOUNG LADIES. gay that they saw nothing improper in such conduct. If women pursuing this course of conduct find their names freely used by the tongue of scandal they have only themselves to blame for it. Nor am 1 prepared to aay thatif the husband be tree from blame that such a course persisted in by the wife whereby her name becomes a subject for scandal-mongers may not be such an indignity to the husband as to entitle him to a divorce. The evidence, however, showed in this case that the wife had ceased such practices at least a year before her husband left her with a view to — 2 the suit. That she was not habitually intemperate I think is made clear by the evidence of her neighbors respectable, hard-working people, who lived for years next door to the shieys. They never saw her intoxicated, and her house was always well kept. If both husband and wife, however, have been yore f of such acts as would otherwise justify a decree, neither party can obtain it. The charges made against tue husband in the wife’s answer, cruelty and beating, calling her vile names, associating with lewd women and a worse chatge have been sustained by the tes- timony. The whipping charges have been sus- tained by 8 outside the tamily. The husband attempted to explain his visits to im- roper resorts by saying that at one time one- tf of hie picture business was done with persons of that class.

MéCreéty has purchased the effects and good-will of the St. Louis Musieal Union from Messrs. T. O. Doan and Nat Haz- ard, and nest season the enterprise will be under the management of that gentleman. Cf course, Mr. Ang. Waldaur will be associated with Mr. Meoreery, as he has been with the irs of the Upon tn the ast, o mu art of the work being un Mr. Waldauer’s direction and Mr. McCreery hav- ing charge of the business. The effects“ of the union secured by Mr. McCreery in the recent transfer consist of about $4,000 worth — music arranged for an orchestra of sixty pieces. The ne expensés of a eeason of the Musical Union amount to $8,000. This sum en. ables the management to give six recitals and is raised by su ee oe . B PLAN 1s to issue to enen subscriber who pays $20 tour season tickets, good for admission to the concerts and the dress rehearsal preceding the concert. The dregs tehearsais are about as — ular as the performances themselves. his is due to the fact that the orchestra is or- ganized of professional musicians competent to render music at sight. The dress rehearsal is the last in a series of five for preparation tor ech concert, and should be, and is, of a —— ezree of eKeellence. In addition to the selection rendered by the orchestra it has deen the eustom ot the Union to present to its patrons some vocal numbers by the best talent at liberty at the time of their concerts. During the past season such stars as L’Allemand, Trebelli and Brandt have been the auzilliary features, and equally illustrious names are connected with the productions of previous easons. 4 The history of the organization is a gratify- ing record of the growth of musical culture in St. Louis. The St. Louis Musical Union was first inaugurated by Prof. Waldauer seven earsago. He was assisted in the work by r. Dabney Carr, who had charge of the business portion of the enterprise. For two gars the recitals were Given at the old Mercantile Library Hall. At the end of that time a move was made to the Natatorium on Nineteenth and Pine streets. After stopping there one year the organization gave its pértormancts the following seuson in the new Armory Hall, from which two years ago under the incoming management 0 Messrs. Doan and Hazar the Union moved to the Exposition building, where the large hall was found to be necessary to accommodate the patronage. A very agree- able feature of the Musical Union concerts is the securing for the ticket-holders the same seats for the entire season’s performances. At the opening of each year a clean sheet is presented to the subscribers, and the seats selected by them which they desire to occupy during the six concerts and their six dress rehearsals. Under the system pursued by Mr. Waldauer the excellenee of the con- certs has steadily grown, as it necessarily must have done. The musicians from long association have come tu know each other thoroughly, to understand their leader, and to appreciate the most delicate shades of his directions, Their work has not only grown in its character, but it is résponsible fora per- ceptible broadening in the cultureof the audi- fences. A taste has been cuitivated for a 2 order of music. The new management will endéavor to at least repeat the success of former years and, if possible, make some advance. After next Thursday's concert, which will be the last of the present season, the prospectus for the coming year willbe issued and the work of enlisting the subscription begun. The man- agement will attempt to so increase the num- ber of subscriptions as to enable them to also increase the number of preparatory rehears- als, and thereby improve the already high character of the work of the musicians.

By Telegraph to the P®sT-DISPATCH. SPRINGFIELD, II., May 10.— When the House met this morning Mr. Merritt called up the deficiency printing appropriation bill on third reading. This placed the House inan awk- ward position. To pass the bill was to appear to countenance a giaring fraud in the letting of the printing contract, according to the report ofthe Senate Commit- tee, but to refuse to pass it would leave the rinting fund empty, and no printing could be ordered for either House. ithout print- ing no work can be advanced. They chose the least offensive horn of the dilemma and passed the bil with an emergency clause, serving notice that they will slaughter that item in the general appro- priation bill. Collins’ bill, regulating the manufacture and sale of dynamite and other dangerous explosives; Pierce’s bill, prevént- ing landiords from including payment of taxes in land-rents, and Cole’s bill prohibiting boy- cotting on the part of individuals and black- listing of employes by corporations, under a penaity of $2,000 for each offense, were passed. The Senate spent the morning discussing tue bill amending the medical practice act on third reading. This bill was prepared by the Stute Board of Health, and increases their powers materially. It requires all ten-year practitioners to procure a certificate to prac- tice medicine, and raises the fee for examina- tion of non-graduates from $5to $25. It was finally passed. The Millers’ Picnic. A number of new regulations have been adopted for the millers’ picnic. Every com- mitteeman and every lady accompanying a committeeman will have to present a ticket just like anybody else. The lunch served on one ofthe barges will befor the members of the Millers’ National Association and their ladies and the visiting representa- tives of mili-machinery houses. Tickets will be issnedto them by E. 0. Stanard and Henry Stanley. The ladies will have a table to themselves. The dancing will be on the two barges and there will bea band on each. The members of the Millers“ National Associa- tion will leave the Southern Hotel promptly at 8:30 a. m. and the boat will leave at 9 a.m. The Grand Army. Chairman Sampson of the Grand Army Finance Committee received some small sub- scriptions this morning.

The Indictments Bun ehed for June 13 in the United States District Court—A List of the Accused Persons—The Cases Against Deputy Kecortiers Meyer and McKenzie Nollie Pressed by the District Attorney To-Day—The Reasons Given, To-day Judge Thayer held sessions in both the United States Circuit Court and the United States District Court. Court convened in the Cirouit room at 10 o’ clock this morning. After disposing of some motions pending there Judge Thayer adjourned to meet in the Dis- trict Court. It was expected that a decision would be rendered on the de- murrer to the indictment in the O’Connor case, but no announcement was made bo the Court. Several of the of- fenders arrested last November had entered into bond to appear on May 10. After the other business was disposed of Assisiant District Attorney Knapp asked that all de- fendants to charges of fraud at the elections step forward. Ten of the accused approached the bench and were instructed to answer on the 13th prox. They were then discharged on their former fecognizances. When the case of Herman Meyer was called Mr. W. C. Marshall conferred with the District Attorney and urged thatthe case be stricken from the docket. Mr. Meyer was a deputy re- corder and registered a large number of voters from Concordia College,a Lutheran institution on South Jefferson avenue. As the Missouri statutes are Very strict on the point of rési- dence this fact was inquired into by the Grand- jury which first undertook the investiga- tion Of the election frands. From the évidence submitted to the jury it was learned that the persons registered were theological students at the college and not entitied, for want of residence qualification, to registration. Mr. Marshall convinced the District- Attorney that the names so registered were the names of permanent residents at the college and that their qualifications in the particulars brought into question were as complete as the qualifications of pastors occupying parochial residences. On learning this fact District-Attorney Bashaw nollie prossed the case against Meyer, who had nod been connected even by suspicion with any frauds at the election. The students admitted when called upon by tue Grand- jury that they did not intend to make the college their permanent home and had only registered because thev had been applied to and because they were not acquainted with the provisions of the law on that point. On @lection day about fifteen of the twenty so registered had voted when the attention of the judges and clerks of election was directed to the fact that they were not entitled to vote. The authorities of the college were applied to and explained that for all purposes the college was the residence, and on this explanation ofthe ease the District Attorney decided to dismiss the case. The case of Kenneth McKenzie was also nolle prossed. McKenzie was the deputy re- eorder of the Bighteenth Ward, and was charged witn having falsely entered the names of thirty-four persons in the books. The en- try Suggested by the District At- torney was ordered dy the Court without any discussion of the merits of the case or the grounds on which the Government based the proposed action. Assisstant-WDis- trict-Attorney Knapp subsequently stated that the evidence against McKenzie only showed a technical violation of the law and madea case with which the District- Attorney was unwilling to go before a jury. Commissioner Morgan has listed the election fraud cases, which will be called up June 13 when a jury will be summoned for the trial of the cases. The following is the list of cases now docketed.

O., May 10.—The report of the Department of Agriculture for May relates to the condition of winter grain, the progress ot spring plowing andthe proportion of the proposed cotton area already planted. It in- dicates a decline in the condition of wheat of two points since April 1, the general average for the whole country being 86 against 95 at the same date in 1886; 70 in 1885 and 91 in 1884. The changes in condition have not been uni- form throughout the winter wheat region, some States showing an increase, the 1 a slight decline, and a few heavy falling- off. The States of the Middle Atiantic Coast, {from Pennsylvania to North Carolina, show some improvement, seasonable weather having aided the — oes in recovering more than was expected from the injury done by the trying season during ébruary and March. Im New York and New Jersey the amount of winter killing was not fully Known on April, 1 and this, with cold, unfavorable weather dur- ing the month has caused a serious reduction of condition; drought has reduced the aver- age somewhat in the Bastern Gulf States, and hag wrought very serious . in Texas and Arkansas, lowering the condRion during the month 19 and 10 points, respectively. Favorable temperature and seasonable rains have improved the prospect in Tennessee, West Virginia and Kentucky, the condition being considerably higher in these States than ithas averaged in May for the past five years. The most serious reduction of the month is in Ohio, where there is a falling off of eight points since the Ist of April, due to the continuing evil effects of the alternate freezing and ang noted in the last report, and to the cold, dry weather during the greater part of April, which ave the injured lant little chance recuperation, favorable season 1 1, ° might have, in a Freut m repaired the injury done up to that time, but the continued unfavorable condi- tions have wrought still further damage and a mali crop ie now inevitable. Micnigan and Indiana show a slight decline, while in Lilinois and Missouri there is a gain of one point.

Fourth Anniversary of the New York World Under Its Present Management, By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPATOH. NEW Tonk, May 10.—The WOBLD to-day cel- ebrates the fourth anniversary of its coming under the management of Joseph Pulitzer by publishing an anniversary number in which it devotes thirty-one columns to à history of its wonderful growth and achievements in the past four years. In connection with it is also pub- lished the following editorial: Four years ago to-day the WORLD passed into the ownership and control of its present editor and proprietor. The story of its 5 * — and achievements in this period is graphically told in our Columns to-day. It is a record unparalelled in the his- tory of journalism. No growth in circulation, in advertising and in mechanical facilities was ever so rapid and so constant as this has been. No such list of actual aehievements for the public good, we may perhaps be permitted — 4 — but firmly to rem was ever be- fore credited to one journal. No other news- paper's influence upon the methods and the mission of journalism has been so marked.And no such tokens of popular confidenese, favor and appreciation as the WORLD has re- ceived, were mapifested towards any journal. Four years ago the circulation the WoORLD was about 16,000, ita advertising amounted to less than fourteen columns, and it was equipped with two old-fashioned presses. This year its average Sunday circulation has been over 250,000, and its daily average, in- cluding Sunday, over 212,000; its advertise ments have reached 160 columns ina day, and average over 1,300 columns a month, and its Press- room has a capacity of 192,000 eight-page papers per hour soon to be increased to 240,000 per hour. It is necessary to go abroad for any- thing like comparison for these statistics. The circulation of the WoRLD is not ogly much greater than that of any other morning journal in the United States, but it is only surpassed by one of its class in London, and is exceeded by only one in Paris. In ad- vertising, as the comparisons show, no other daily journal in either country approaches the number or the extent of the notices printed in the WORLD. This remarkable succéss is con- tinued too long to be considered ephemeral. It has been too steady and progressive to be looked upon as merely fortuitous. The WORLD is a phenomenal success because it has served the people, not simply in giving them such a newspaper as they want, but in actually accomplishing great things for their benefit. What others have said should be done the WORLD has performed. It has not confined ite attention to ‘‘what happened yesterday, but has concerned itself with what ought to hap- pen to-morrow or next month, or next year, and has sought to bring these things to pass. It started out under its new management to be different from any other paper—different in men, measures and methods; different in ob- jects and interests; different in sympathies and convictions, andit has keptits word. Safely may the WORLD chalienge the citation of an instance in which it has falled to support any real reform or to denounce any known abuses orevils. Financial interests have not silenced it nor party ties prevented its telling the truth concerning private schemes or political ma- neuvers that were against the public good. It has sought out abuses to correct and has fer- reted out crimés to punisty ö Other journals have been as ably edited and as complete in their news as the WORLD, but the people have recognized in this journal an intuitive knowledge of thelr wants, and an independence and courage in espousing their ease which commends it to their hearts. While the WORLD has served the people, the people have made the WORLD the success itis. With- out their favor the press is powerless even for the good it would o. They have shown their liking for a journal that is conducted upon principles rather that prejudices, that will ‘‘expose all frauds aud shams, and fight all public evils and abuses,’’ let its blows fall where they must, and that is free alike from piutocratic and partisan control. Thisis the open secret of the WORLD’S success. In this sign it will 70 on conquering new fields, and us it en- arges its constituency increasing its oppor- tunities and its capacity for public service. WILL BE DROPPED TO-MORROW. The Bribery Case Against Ex-Policeman George Leonard—A Queer Story. To-morrow morning the case of ex-Police- man George Leonard, charged with receiving a bribe, will come up for trial in the Criminal Court. As has been predicted time and again, however, by the Post- DISPATCH, the case will not be tried. When it is called a nolle pros- rb will be entered by Circuit-Attorney lover, and the case wiped from the docket. Leonard is an old lottery man who was given a place on tue police force, and placed in charge of the suppression of gam- bling, lottery and policy. Foran assistant he engaged George Emmett. Leonard was finally taken sick, and Emmett was made a detective, and together with Detective Herbert was as- signed to the work of suppressing gambling and lottery. After they had been at the business some time they had Leonard indicted and arrested on a charge of accepting a bribe. The indictment accused him of receiving a bribe of $20 on Au- gust 1, 1885, from Herman Bruner, the lottery man, to permit Bruner, Sam Watson and Wm. Dornin to run a lottery known as Dornin’s scheme. It was claimed that he had been re- ceiving $20 a week struight along from these men to grant immunity to their lottery scheme. Watson and Brüner went before the Grand-jury and, it is said, testified to this. Leonard Claimed that the whole thing was a scheme between the lottery men and Herbert and Emmett to ‘‘do him up, and he made all sorts of charges against the integrity of the detectives. And so the war waged, each side charging the other with being crooked, and claiming to be able to produce positive proof of what they said. A couple of months ago Detective Herbert mysteriously resigned from the force, and Emmett’s resignation soon followed. It was then stated that the case would never be tried, each side claimin to be willing and anxious, but alleging tha the other side was afraid. The general opinion was that it the case had ever gone to trial there would be a number of sensational devel- opments, and considerable rottenness woul be disclosed. Vice-President Blair of the Police Board came into the possession of some private correspondence between Ed Kaub and lerman Bruner which contains unfavorable mention, of a number of prominent citizens. This would all have been introduced in the State’s case, and claimed to have some bombs to fire into the camp of the opposition. There was a feeling that both sides would be willing to drop matters, and the PostT-DISPATCH has seve times predicted that there would never de a trial of the cause. The State was unable to show — Leonard Bye. 1 been sworn in as an officer or had even n ap- , 1 to the force, and this, they held would nvalidate the indictment which charged bim with receiving the bribé as an officer. In ad- dition to this, Herman Bruner, the State’sm witness, has gone back on them, and these two causes will lead to the dropping of the rn stated, will be done to- mornin tto laim that fact ‘ me attorneys c thab Letnard ac as „ tT, received Ry to the defense as such and testified on the ends Wan he was one, makes out a prima facie case that he is an 1 * and that it ia not necessary w his appointment. a Wateon ede Do 2 case over the wever. — be assaul strikt Mr. Davis Accepts. en ine Cece te THE MAY GRAND.JURY Adjourns After a Session of Seven Days—In- dictments and ignored Bills.

Best after bie release brought suit against Hoeffner for false imprisonment, and then be bad Best again arrested, but he was discharged at his examination before Judge Noonan. The hotel-keeper then brought the matter before the Grand-jury. John P. Maguire, against whom an indict- ment for murder in the second degree was refused, killed Samuel MeGregor at 1:30 a. m. 1 23. The latter was a striking employe of the Laclede Gas-works, while Maguire was at work there as a fireman. As Maguire was going tothe works from bis room the morning of the killing he was struck and knocked down by a striker named Spotts, who afterward ran intoasaloon. A few min- utes later McGregor and another man came out and walked hurriedly toward Maguire. He thought it was Spotts and some companion coming to beat him and he shot and killed Mo- Gregor. : . THE EXCHANGE DIRECTORS Meet To-Day and Indorse the Merchants’ Terminal Bill, The Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange at their session yesterday adopted the report of the Exchange Transportation Committee on the question of raiiroad legislation, but the consideration of the report of that committee on the terminal facilities question was postponed until to-day. The reason for this was the necessity of consider- ing two reports, one made by a majority of the committee and the other by Dwight Tredway, constititing a 1 2 Mr. Tredway dis- sented altogether from the conclusion of the majority. ‘Mr. Tredway’s report was long and exhaustive. To-day the Board of Directors met again and after a brief discussion adopted the majority report. THE REPORT, which has thus received the sanction of the Merchants’ Exchange, séts ferth the need of establishing terminal facilities under the restriction of reasonable protection to all In- terests, fair limit of charges, prohibition of discrimination, limitation of soOnstruction time, pro rata charges for joint servicé, pub- lication of scale of charges un the prohibition of T _ rails, The report says it is inadvisable to ezagt any bonus for the franchises. Under the restriét- tions mentioned, the Directors of the Ex- change endorse the merchants’ terminal bill If the franchise th®@y now ask is granted,’ says the report, it means a new — with cheaper transportation over the same; it means three or more railroads entering 88. Louis than now terminate hefe; it means within a short time the virtual abandonment of East St. Louis as a terminus, and the change to St. Louis as a terminus of most, if not all the Eastern roads now . at East St. Louis; it means the abolition of the bridge arbitrary, Which has been one of the greatest incubi 3t, Louis has labored under for years, costing us about M, 000,000 annually; it e m trans- portation, giving a new impetus to trade such as St. Louis has never heretofore enjoyed. in a word, it means more substantial benefits to this city than can be obtained by the adoption of any other measure.

EAST Sr. LOUIS. The Village of Brooklyn Torn Up by a ‘‘Society Sensation“ Notes. The gossips in Brooklyn, the village of col - ored people situated about two miles north of this city, are at present well sapplied with topics which gossips delight in. The placid surface of ‘‘sassiety’’ in the village has been ruffled by two occurrences, the result of which has been two lawsuits, to which James Anderson, the Baptist preacher, and ©. B. Jones, the 2 ot the village school are arties. n Jones was married some 0 to a daughter of Mr. pe. They lived at the Pope resi- dence, but their relations were not as happy as they might have been owing, Jones says, to too much mother-in-law. About a week ago he conciuded to rent a home of his own, bo- lieving, as he says, that he and his wife would get along all rigut when free from the inter- ference of her mother. When he had rented the house he hired a furni- ture oar and went to the Pope resi- denee to get furniture which he claimed he had bought. His mother.in-law backed. by the wife, who did not like the idea of leaving the paternal roof, refused to Jet a piece of the furniture betaken out ofthe house. Quite a stormy scene ensued, and as may be imag- ined this domestic tempest caused quite a sensation in the village. Sunday when the good colored people all assembled at the Bap- tist Church the row at the Joneses was the all absorbing topic of conversation. Some espoused the dause of Jones, others con- demned him in the most severe terms, alleg- ing that Mrs. Jones had other reasons besides what were enh | known for refusing to leave her mothér’s house and go and live with him elsewhere. Preacher Anderson heard the different stories about the affair and formed conclusion, which was that cause of the row, . the mother-in-law. In his sermon he managed to say something about ‘‘deserting father,mother, brothers and sisters and clinging to the man of your cholce. le made no personal references to the reigning sénsation in the village, but nevertheless John Thomas, one of the mem- pers of the congregation, thought that the purport of the preacher’s remarks was to the effect that Jones had acted rightly and prop- erly and when services were over he accused the pastor of conveying such a les- son, and threatened to ‘‘smash’’ him. This morning Preacher Anderson swore out a war- rant against Thomas in ‘Squire Bunyan’s Court, alleging that Thomas had made threats against his life. cipal Jones also swore out a writof replevin in Squire Draggon’s court. The peace warrant case will come up to-morrow, and nearly the whole gore x of Brooklyn it is expected will be attend-* ance. NOTES.

All the good ore in gon out just before the sale of y, regardiess of the effect, This report made by an expert who examined it. The result way the where there was no good ore, or where the body Was narrow, the tunnel was narrow, and where a rich body of ore was struck it was scooped out clean, leaving a big hole. The mine was developed according to no system of getting out all that was in sight, and the _ tun- nels and drifts wind their tortuous lengths backward and forward and around while huge holes below the level at intervals interfere with the transportation of ore. The company has a large amount of undeveloped tory and every prospect of finding in it an enormous body of ore of the same grade as that which was worked out, but in order to get at it an extended and costly system of de- velopment must be carried out. NO CAPITAL AT THE START. The company failed to provide itself with the necessary capital at the time of its organ- ization. There was enough to increase the mill-plant from ten light to fifteen heavy stamps. It was the intention of the compan to build a mill at the mine, as the mill — use was in Silver City, some dis- ] except the system zunce from the mine, and it was necess to haulitin. Experiments were made with a 832 here and it was believed that thig d work the silver-bearing slate of w ere was a large 21 to advan- tage. The company would have purchased one of these but the mine had been operated for some time at a loss, and the small cash having gradually disappeared it run into debt some $16,000. It was with difficulty that enough ore could be extracted to keep the mill going, and the sinking of the new development shaft was being carried on at a loss. The total gross out-put since De- cember, itis claimed, was only $22,000. The interest on the bonds, 6per cent on $240,000, or $14,400, is due in next December, and it is necessary something should be done with the property to make it pay this interest or the mortgage will be foreclosed. This meeting of stockholders is called to con- sider the question of selling the 50,000 shares of stock in the treasury, distributing it pro rata amo the present stockholders. It is expected $60,000 will be necessary to further develop the mine. In this connection + A POOL will be formed if possible. It was expected that 490,000 of the 500,000 shares of stock would come into this pool, but at noon to-day little more than 340,000 shares had come in. It was said that Bremen, who owned originally 100,- 000 shares, and who now has between 70,- 000 and 75,000 shares, had refused to the pool, but President said to-day that Mr. Bremen had signed the pool agreement before leaving for Silver City Saturday night. Mr. Wood also gaia that Mr. Bremen had told him just prior to his departure that he had tried without suc- cess to sell the $240,000 of five-year bonds on property. On the sireet to-day homever, t was positivel stated that e ur. Bremen had sold is bonds han 61 cents on the dollar, ,000 worth of them and giving a It was also said that Mr. Bremen had given to the purchaser of the bonds a proxy on his stock to take to the m to-morrow night.

Ex Paso, Tex., May 10.—The following letter has just been received: May 5, 1877 To Agent Associated Press: My Dear Sm the EI Paso Times of the Sth, which a traveling friend gave me after meeting the south-bound train of the Mexican Central Railway, I find a telegram referring to the ball that was held at the Spanish Casino, in the City of Mexico, on the 80th of last April. Believing that you have been misinformed, I take the liberty of begging from you a rectifi- cation, which I hope you will publish, as you did the telegram above mentioned. Here are the facts—nothing else: They notified me, as one of the floor mana- gers, that Mr. Baron was dancing with Miss Bazaine in a rather too immodest manner. At once I moved to see, but I got there just when the iast note of the waltz was dying away, losing thus the chance to judge for. myself. The people present informed me what 1 bad been told already. I thought it for the moment better to make no remark, but later, when in the dining-room, in the presence of the daughter of an Ameri- can general the secretary of the club saw fit to give Baron a hint of what people were saying about him. This seemed to show a bad ten- dency, when the writer, interfering with calm- ing words for the sake of the young laaies present, tried his best to establish peace, but Mr. Baron did not cease to believe himself offen - ded,and went to hunt up the Spanish Minister. For the sake of order I thought it best to fol- low him. In coming across the Spanish Min- ister Mr. Baron began rather warmly to say how the Chief Secretary had offended the young ladies and himself, and the Minister, instead of trying to quiet things down and avert an unpleasant scene, took the part of Baron. I thought it then my duty, for the sake of peace, to take the belligerents out- doors, but the Minister firmly declined to leave. At this time the president of the club came, and succeeded in taking away Baron, leaving the Spanish Minister alone with the witnesses of his behavior. What the Spanish colony thinks of the Ministeris unknown. A Commissioner to investigate the trouble has reported that there was no ground for Mr Baron to believe that he was insulted by any- body, and thus ends the true account of the unpleasantness atthe diplomatic dall on the evening of the 30th of April last. Knowing your desire to do justice to the case, I remain, yours very thankfully, FLORENCIA DE NORIEGA. (On his way to Europe.) Ingalls’ Terms, $2 Down and $1 A week on baby carriages.

Opening Up Fresh Territory in the Neigh- borhood of Compton Hill—A Quick Sale —Deeds Recorded—Building Permits Is- sued To-Day. While the vicinity of Forest Park has been attracting public attention, the Grand avenue bridge has been quietly building asa connect- ing link between the real estate mars ket and a large “tract of as yet unimproved territory to the southwest which has lain fallow with the exception of sporadic efforts to offset tax bills by a growth of corn and other products incident to farm cultivation. This property has had admirers in the past, but the difficulty of arriving at financial con- clusions satisfactory to present owners and prospective buyers has delayed the transfer ot a considerable portion of very valuable residence property in the vicinity of Tower Grove Park and Shaw’s Garden. Now that the Grand ave- nue bridge is a certainty, and its favor - able effect upon all property to the southward equally a matter admitting of no doubts, Mr. Silas Bent, the ent for the Tyler estate, will enter the market in a couple of weeks armed with descriptive plats now in process of development, describin the advantages of a tract of unimprove and having a frontage of 2,282 feet on Grand avenue by a depth westwardly of 4,746 feet to Tower Grove avenue, the eastern bound of Shaw’s Gar- den, Shaw’s avenue being the northern boundary, and the southern a narrow strip of land owned dy other parties fronting on Magnolia avenue, the northern boundary of Tower Grove Park. ‘the tract is by Flora avenue, 770 feet south of Shaw avenue. This land he proposes to sell In a lump or either the northern or southern divisions separately, andi subject to the terms of an agreement on record be- tween owners in that section that no dram-shop, beer garden or other like place will be tolerated. The object is to make ita first-class residence suburb. A survey has been made for a sewer through the center of the land, which is lower than the eastern and western extremities.

New Tonk, May 10.—Mr. William Smith O’Brien, editor of United Ireland, was seen at the Hoffman House this morning, and after alluding to a band ot British toyalists who had tried to make it uncomfortable for him on the voyage over, he said: ‘‘I cannot wait to speak in New York, as much as I would wish to, as my mission is to Canada, and 1 must guard all my strength. Besides, they have the right first to hear. Ishall start for Montreal to-night, and shall make my first speech there. hear my Irish friends have been refused every large hall in Montreal, but that will make no difference for, if necessary, I shall speak in the public square. Have you any fears of trouble?“ Not the least. I go to Canada on a mission popular alike with Protestant and Catnolic, and will set forth the wrongs of the farmers of Ulster as for- cibly as those of the toilers of the South. There is no religious question in the matter, for it is purely one of human justice. I appre- ciate the intended honor of an escort from the Irishmen of New York, but I have declined it and shall go to Canada 8 a simple trav- eler on a peaceful errand.’’ Mr. O’Brien emphatically denies that Parnell is sick or suffering from a cancer, and says thatthe great Irish leader was never better in his life. He further says that the coercion bill will pass, but that it will react on its promoters and will certainly be re- ealed when its obnoxtous provisions ecome more 80 by enforcement. Speaking of the Parnell letter, of which so much has been said and written, Mr. O’Brien asserted that it was a forgery and a very clumsy one at that He would not say that Piggott was the torger, but he spoke of him as a renegade, and said that if he did not write the letter, he was fully capable of just such a thing. Mr. O’Brien says that if he gets back from Canada safely, of which he has no doubt, he will spenda — speaking in New York, Philadelphia and oston.

Virgil Fox, a negro, was before Judge Cady to-day on a charge of disturbing the peace and resisting an officer, and his wife, Ella, was also charged with disturbing the peace. The testimony showed that he took a cheap watch from some one and threw it to the floor. He was drunk and went to sleep, and Officer Hutton when he came to arrest him hit him on the soles of the feet with a club. Fox and his wife both sailed into him, and she beat him over the head with a chair. The officer was a 0 used up inthe melee. Judge Cady fined Virgil $10 for disturbing the peace but discharged him in the resisting case an also discharged the wife. The Judge told Hut- ton thatto beat a man over the soles of the feet was the most cruel treatment he could give a man and that he deserved all he got. Jumped from the Bridge. Edward Lindley, a carpenter boarding at 809 North Fifteenth street, jumped from the Bridge last evening and wasdrowned.

CHICAGO, II., May 10.—Tne Times this morn- ing says: After the late meeting of the trans- continental lines, Mr. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific and party went on to New York, stating before they left that the Southern Pacific would meet the competition of Canadian o, Pacific Mail and Clipper ships in its own way, which meant that these latter routes took any business wouldjget itjat a loss. It was discovered that there was no possibitl f ranging with the outside lines on the 0 a differential, as the American roads would not listen to any such compromise. If differ- entlals were to be established, the Denver & Rio Grande and the Northern Pacific insisted upon being baited with like advantages, an the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe would, under no circumstances, listen to any such concession. The Stubbs wef has gone East to labor with the trunk lines in an effort to get a reduction of the pro rata now demanded east of Chicago, in order to secure, if possible, some of the freight originating on the sea- board for the all-rail routes. e party will return to Chicago the latter part of the week, andon Monday next another meeting of the trans-continental lines will be held and a re- port made of the result of negotiations with the Eastern lines. The New Trans-Continental Line, a CHICAGO, III., May 10.—The Times this morn- ing says: Stealing quietiy westward from Fort Fetterman the sixth trans-continental line is attracting little attention, but although there is no flourish of trumpets the work of is going stead- & orthwestern of officials is to be used for new mileage. work was abandoned on the west line of Fort Fetterman last winter, but was again resumed last month, There can be little doubt, al- though the company has seen fit to deny it that the one object in building westward t — Wyoming and Idaho is to reach the Pacific coast. The line, as newly surveyed, will cross the Snake River at Eagle Rock, Idaho Terri- tory, there to connect with the Oregon Pa- cific, in which the Northwestern Direct- ors are largely interested; meanwhile work on the Oregon Pacific eastward is being quietly but none the less effectively prose- cuted. Contracts have been let for the build- ing of 120 miles of track this year. The ex- tent of completed line will remove the eastern terminus from Corvallis, Ore., to Camp Polk, in the same State. Itisabig undertaking for a company like the Oregon Pacific to build a4 line over five hundred miles in length, from the Pacific Ocean to a point so far inland as Boise City, Idaho Territory, but with the New York capital represented there can be no doubt of its ability to carry the project through. It is the confident prediction of those best posted thatthe Northwestern will be running trains tothe Pacific Coast before the end of 1889. East-Bound Freight Shipments. CHICAGO, III., May 10.—The shipments of East-bound freight from Chicago by all the lines for the week ending Saturday, May 7, amounted to 29,899 tons, against 25,014 tons the eee week, an increase of 4,885 tons. he percentage carried by the different roads was as follows: Wabash, 1.5; Big Four, 10.4; Michigan Central, 10.1; Lake Shore, 16.1; Fort Wayne, 12.4; Panhandle,9.3; Baltimore & Ohio, 10.5; Chicago & Grand Trunk, 10.2; Nickel- Plate, 8.4; Chicago & Atlantic, 11.1.

The Wabash is going into the tourist busi- ness to the North heavily this season over the St. Louis, Kansas City and Minneapolis through line. General Passenger Agent Harry Townsend of the MissouriPacific still talks this way about the Trunk Line boycott: ‘‘I understand that some roads in the East refuse to sell our tickets, but I really have not paid any attention to the matter, as I haven’t thought it worth While. Although the discrimination in favor of Chicago on tickets to Omaha. for the Presby- terian General Assembly is still in force as far as Chairman Abbot is coneerned, a rate of $11.89 is quoted here, and there are prospects of a big business. The St. Louis railroads are taking the reins in their own hands. The first soll will be turned on the Central Missouri road by Thursday or Friday of this week, fifty miles ofthe construction contract having been let. Work will begin near St. Charies. Chief Engineer Corthelia is sounding for bed-reck in the Missouri River for the bridge about four miles above St. Charles. The myth oo Valley road has turned to the wall the tickets of Western roads which have not signed Circular A, as to commissions. The notification of Lehigh reads patheticaily. It states that the road is forced to take this step by a regard for connections in the East. Some of the roads out this en A had forgotten that the Lehigh had any of their tickets. The Indianapolis, Bioomington & Western has made the first bold stroke for independ- ence by making a rate of one and one-third fare to the convention of Du rds at Ottawa. All the other roads in th sociation de- termined not to make any reductions for the event, but the [., B. & W. struck out for itself. It begins to look as if association meant very little under the interstate law. Mr. George Cappel, wife and daughter of New York, Mrs. C. M. Cuppeli of London, Mr. T. M. Ade Tromp and Mr. H. C.

New YorRK, May 10.—The Pacific Railway investigation was continued this afternoon before the commission, with William Bond, the former President of the St. Joseph & Denver Railroad on the stand. He testified that he was president of the road in 1873, and was appointed its receiver in 1874, and occupied that position till 1879. The road wos reorganized in 1877 by foreclosure of sepa- arate divisions. These divisions were known as the St. Joseph & Pacific and the Kansas & Nebraska. These roads wore afterwards consolidated and known as the St. Joseph & Western, which was leased to the Union Pacific in June, 1879, and was operated by that road till it was foreclosed again in 1884. The roads were afterwards reorganized successfully by James H. Benedict as the St. Joseph & Grand Isiand. This took in the Hast- ings 4 Grand Island and the 8t.

The Important State Nominations Held in the Committee—Probable Confirmations. The trouble in the Council over the appoint- ments has not yet been settled, as five of the Democratic members are determined not to vote for Gen. Turner for Street Commissioner and now complications are threatened. At present Gen. Turner has three Demo- cratic and four Republican votes, but his name has not deen returned from the Committee on Public Improvements. If there is any chance of changing the vote this name will be held over until next Tues dty night, as well as the nominations for Park Commissioner, Harbor and Wharf Commissioner and Water Commissioner.

Butler for City Attorney and John F. McEnnis for Clerk of the First District Police Court, will probably be confirmed to-night. A meeting of the Ways and Means Committee to which the nominations of the nine assessors were referred was held this afternoon. The nominations for these offices will probably all be confirmed. 7 Health Department Appointments. With the change of Health Commissioners the force of Dispensary physicians will change positions. Drs. Dorsett and Outley are can- didates for appointment to the Superintend- ency of the Female Hospital. Both are well backed. Since the report has been cir- culated at the City Hall that a fusion party in the Couneil will oppose Dr. At- wood’s confirmation there has been some idea of placing one of the candidates at the head of each institution. Dr. Warren G. Priest, who has done the hard work atthe Dispensary for several years while on night duty, is strongly urged, and will probably be appointed, Dis- pensary physician, vice Dr. Dorsett. At the City Hospital the assistants have already been named, and under the rules of the institution they will not be changed for a year.

The delightful climate and showers have given us are butan example of what we can have nearly all summer by simply adopting a sprinkling ordinance that will continue these May showers through the summer, Am =O THE PETITION. To-night at the meeting of the House of Delegates, Delegate Stons will introduce with appropriate remarks the petition of the citizens of St. Louis fora system of general municipal sprinkling. This peti- tion contains over 75,000 distinct names of citizens, a larger number of names than has ever appeared on any petition in the history of St. Louis. No such appeal hasever gone upto any municipal body in the history of the country. It is prob- ably the greatest petition that any city in this country has produced. Cer- tainly it is the first one which the women have adopted and endorsed by the sub- scription of more than 23,000 names. There is no mistaking the earnestness of such an appeal. Nothing but a real and genuine, deep-seated, public feeling could have called it forth. It embodies a protest against past neglect, a demand for future improvement. It represents a matter of important public welfare, of health and comfort, of money and pros- perity. Wecommend it to the patriotism and good sense of the House of Dele- gates, who will now take charge of the matter under the eyes of the whole voting and non-voting population of St. Louis. — ꝗꝗ— —ä —4⅜ THE GRIP OF THE NEW LAW. Members of the Interstate Commission make a show of great reticence as to their future decision on the long-and-short- haul question, but freely say to the inter- viewers that the preponderance of evi- dence laid before them in the South was against the enforcement of the fourth section. They certainly assumed that it would be when they so promptly sus- pended that section upon mere ex parte statements of railroad objections to its enforcement. That in the further investigations the railroad side would be organized, equipped and thoroughly prepared, while the great unorganized multitudes of the opposite interest, at the way-stations and else- where, would scarcely be heard from at all, was to be expected. We have scanned the law in vain for the authority under which the Commission indulged the rail- roads with wholesale suspensions of the fourth section pending the investigations which were to show whether special sus- pensions were to be conceded or not, and the public is not unprepared to find the Commission strongly inclined to nullify the long-haul section. But the chief virtue of the new law is not found in the fourth section, and ‘is independent of the Commission. It is found ip the provisions which make courts and juries judges of the reasonableness of all charges, whether for long hauls or short hauls. The vommon law principle forbidding unreasonable charges and un- fair discriminations against persons or places is now a positive statute, enforcea- ble through the courts and juries of the United States by the people themselves. Even the man who has voluntarily signed a contract binding him to pay unreason- able charges or to submit to unfair dis- criminations, can now repudiate it and through the courts compel the railroads to pay back all the money oollected from him in excess of reasonable charges, and to render him the same service they render their most favored patrons. These provisions cover the entire ground of the fourth section, and more. Even from a decision of the Commission sus- taining a greater charge for the short haul than for the longer, some other ship- per can appeal to the courts and obtain relief and punish severely the railroad officials violating the law, if he can show the unreasonableness of the charge or Giscrimination. The previous find- ing of the Commission in favor of the railroad in such a case is binding only on the parties submitting the ques- tion to the Commission, and in court amounts only to prima facie evidence, These are the provisions that have 0 to stay, no matter what may be th te of the fourth section, and sooner or later they will be enforced in spite of tender- hearted or, tender-footed Commissioners, and in spite of all the powers the railroads can array in rebellion against the law- making power of the United States. — ee Tux extra session of the Missouri Legis- lature, called to meet on the llth inst., will find its action confined by the Gov- ernor’s message, as well as by the call, to the one subject of enforcing the railroad sections of the State Constitution by ap- propriate legislation. Those Republican members whose exouse for making cor- poration tools of themselves is that they are thus opening a breach in the Demo- cratic party are very well pleased with their defeat of railroad legislation by the aid of the O'Day Democrats, and the beautiful city these frequent May would be rid of are counting on the same aid to slap the —_ Governor in the face and down the Demo- cratic party with an adjournment of the called session ‘‘in five minutes after it meets.“ But some Republicans as well as some of the O’Day Democrats have heard from their constituents recently. Some of them haye been instructed by large mass- meetings either to support the legis- lation they opposed at the regular session or to resign. We shall soon see whether these members are governed by the inter- ests and wishes of their constituents or by the commands of their railroad bosses. Our cable specials bring from London a startling rumor that the British Ministers are preparing for the wholesale arrest and incarceration of the Parnellite Members of Parliament. Such a high-handed proceeding would logically follow the charges 80 recklessly made against those members by the organs and speak- ers of the cabinet. It would also be in keeping with the coercion policy embodied in the pending bill. But, however inclined the English people might be to tolerate or excuse such a coup d’etat in Ireland, we hardly think SalILs- BURY is fatuous enough to attempt that kind of thing in England. Desperate measures may be required to extricate his administration from the position in which it has placed itself, but he is “riding for a fall’’ indeed if he seriously thinks of presenting such a spectacular picture of the Union as is implied in Parlia- mentary legislation going on with Ire- land’s.representatives all in prison. _—_—_—_——————_ 0 THERE are altogether too many evi- dences that the loyalty of Canada is pre- paring to meet O’ BRIEN’S invasion of the Dominion with armed resistance. Good society in Canada, and especially official society, which includes all the Govern- ment and army influence, therailway and public works departments, and all the anglomaniac element, is snobbishly and effusively loyalin any question between the English landlord and the Irish tenant. In an address at Ottawa yesterday, a clergyman in denouncing O’BRIEN’s visit added: I would exhort you, however, to refrain from passion and violence,” an exhortation which, when made in Belfast, is generally considered as an introduction to a fight. —ͤ—— — — The War Taxes. From the New York WORLD. Whenever a demand is mada, as in the Ken- tucky Democratic platform, for ‘‘a reduction in the war tariff,’’ instantly the old bugaboo cry of Free Trade’’ is raised bythe bene- ficiaries and defenders of these taxes. Is it really true that anything less thana 45 per cent tariff is free trade?’’ If so, what did the Protectionista mean by adopting only a 36 per cont tariff in 1862? What did a Repub- lican President, two Republican Secretaries of the Treasury and a Protectionist Tariff Commission mean by recommending a 20 per cent reduction in a 42 per cent tariff in 1882? What did a Republican’ Congress mean by promising such a reduction? Were they all Free Traders?“ As a plain matter ot fact, if the war taxes, unnecessary now either for protection or for revenue, were taken out of the tariff, not only would no legitimate American industry suffer, but the whole body of the people woula get necessary articles cheaper, and the Treasury an extravagance-breeding surplus. It is really time for the war taxes to be abated a bit. Hon. C. J. Faulkner. From the New York Sun. The new Senajor from West Virginia, Charles James Faulkn will disappoint those who know him it he does not make himself felt as a debater in the National Legislature. He comes of a family of vigorous talkers, and is recognized throughout his native State asa man of marked ability in that direction. He talks rapidiy, but with perfect precision. Judge Fauikner’s father was accounted the most polished diplomat at the Court of France while he represented this country there, and the scn has inherited his father’s talents. The new Senator is about 5 feet 10 inches high, of rather slight build, with clear-cut features. He wears a dark-brown mustache and goatee. He has small, keen, dark eyes, and a pleasant expression of counténance. He lives at Mar- tinsburg, with his wife and two children, and is the presiding judge over the circuit known asthe ‘‘three Panhandle counties,’’ running along the Potomac River from Harper’s Ferry for a hundred miles or so. Senator Faulkner is free from all monopolistic tendencies, and has never been the paid attorney of any railroad. Beautify the Home. From the Philadelphia Times. Now is thetime to beautifythe home. Itcan be done without cost and with so little labor, that all should enjoy the comfort and refine- ment of a beautiful dwelling-place. It -mat- ters not how humble home may be; it is to its houschold the dearest spot of earth, and it should be made fragrant and heautiful. The laborer can devote his evening and morning hours of rest to the planting of trees, shrubs, vines and flowers, and thereby gain the richestreward for his efforts, Nor should he be alone in making home beautiful. Father, mother, sonand daughter should ail be taught the necessity of making attractive the one place where most of their days and nights are spent. It will not only well repay all to plant fruits and flowers, but it will refine the tastes and elevate the character of every one who enjoys the beautiful home. A Filthy Habit of the Fair. From the Boston Herald. What avile habit that is which one sees in- duiged in on street cars by people who cer- tainly ought to know better. That of putting coins in the mouth is the one referred to. It is quite common among women, who, under such circumstances, never seem to have quite hands enough, and so they press their mouths into gervice to do what is not only a vulgar thing, but absolutely filthy. The nickel which is taken from the purse may have recently left a hand unwashed since it fondled a child dying with diphtheria or other infectious disease. Or it may have come from ‘the hand of a man suffering from the most loathsome of disorders. None will doubt but the habit in question is thoughtlessly indulged, butifyou have it, break yourself of it and never again be guilty et such atrocity. From the Boston Herald. The New York Tribune has got in a notice ot another book by Mr. Blaine, in which it takes the Democrats to task for their ‘‘shameléss’’ conduct in supporting Horace Greeley for the Presidency in 1872. The Tribune is a paper — founded by Horace Greeley, and kept alive by its present conductor chiefly for the purpose of doing as much violence to the memory of Mr. Greeley as possible. Of course, the quiet with which this is endured is a fatal blow to the theory of spiritualism, It spirite could re- visit the earth there would be no restraining Mr. Greeley from giving his opinion of those wno have suocesded him. And it would be in the choicest adjectives of a red-hot tem- perature with which bis memory ie Wentified. Tax-Dodgers in New York. From the Detroit Free Press. The Vanderbilts have always paid taxes on less than $1,000,000 until this year, when they were assessed at $10,000,000. Then they threat- ened to remove their offices to a New Jersey mosquito swamp, and began looking over the poor-house to see what ite accommodations were. Finally they agreed to an assessment of $8,000,000, saying they had no idea there was 60 much of the stuff. Almost any man, in the hurry and confusion of sitting around hotels with his feet on the window-sill, is lable to overlook $7,000,000 or $8,000,000. It may be in his other yest at home. “Give Us Back Our Clocks.” From the New York WORLD. The song of Nos Pendules, which the Paris mob has been howling along the boule- vards during the past few days, has nothing to do with Strasburg or its celebrated time- piece, as some of our contemporaries appear to imagine. Nos Pendules’’ refers to the clocks and other objects of value which, if we are to believe French accounts, were looted from the country houses around Paris by the German Officers in 1871. It will be remem- bered that people in New Orleans sometimes chant a little song entitled Nos Ouilleres d'Argent when the name of Gen. Ben Butler is mentioned. Huntington as an Educator, From the San Francisce Chronicle. The plain truth is that the underlings of Huntington and the Central Pactfic used the $63,000, and a great deal more, for the purpose of lobbying for their own Interests and against all opposition roads, for thé purchasing or in- fluencing of corrupt and weak members of Congress, and generally for such disreputable purposes as this corporation has always em- ployed. It Huntington now chooses to dignify such nefarious occupations with the title of ‘‘educating the people, he is at liberty to do go; but he can rest assured that it will not de- ceive any one familiar witb railroad methods, or who knows the champion connubiator of the century, C.

Say rather that they will come as the ‘‘Recollections of Ben: Perley Poore Rickeyv.’’ The Lord Knows what a few more hearty meals at Chamberlain's will bring forth. Colman vs. Coleman. From the New York WORLD. A Western newspaper has started a daring Presidential boom for Colman, the Commis- sioner of Agriculture. This is partly intended to head off the limp and flabby William Tell Coleman boom. Commissioner Colman’s po- sition has enabled him tosow good seed in good ground, and doubtless he hopes to reap the reward ofa faithful sower. The long- headed Commissionef scatters the Govern- ment seed where they will come up when they are wanted. Marshal Ney. From the New York WORLD. There is no real doubt as to the facts of the death and buriai of Marshal Ney, 'the bravest ot the brave. M. Napoleon Ney, the grand- son of the great Marshal, said during his visit to this city last autumn that at the reinterment ofthe remains of his illustrious relative the coffin was opened, and the bullet hole was found inthe skull exactly where the record said one of the fatal wounds was received at the execution.

Efforts of the Officers to Save the Ship and Her Passengers—The Americans on Cablegram to the Post-Dispateh. „Mey 10.—Reports from Havre indicate that the French Trans-Atiantic Line Steam- ship La Champagne, which was beached on Saturday after a collision with the steamship Ville de Bio, which was sunk, will be hauled off the beach and floated within the next twenty-four hours and saved without great loss. Not one of the first-clasg passengers was lost, and out of the twenty-five or thirty steerage passengers thought to be lost, seven - teen are known to have been saved. The lost were the Neapolitan emigrants who fought their way through the satiors and captured a boat directly after the egilision. Through the excessive weight put upon it one of the davite broke away and all the occu- pants were thrown into the sea. The captain of La Campagne was then seexing to make land, and knowing that every moment was precious he did not stop to save these men. Seventeen of them, it appears, however, were afterwards picked up so that tne loss at an outside estimate, it is thought, cannot be more than fifteen, OCAPT. TRAUBE'S STATEMENT. Following is the statement of Oapt. Traube of La Champagne. He says the collision oc- curred in the neighborhood of 11:30 on Satur- day morning. He was on the bridge atthe time, where he had been ever since the vessel left Havre. It was foggy from the start. There were occasional gieams of light through the gloom, but at the time of the collision the fog was impenetrable. The fog-horn of La Ohampaane was kept going constantly, ‘‘Iwasuponthe bridge with my two o- cers, Barbee and Arsene,’’ says the captain. „Suddenly we heard a slight sound, nearly imperceptible, which resembled a whistie. I immediately gave orders to steer in an oppo- site direotion. A second sound of the whistie was heard, which was louder than the fret. We then headed to starboard directly. At the same moment, and before we could make the slightest preparation, a terrible crash took place, followed by several shocks, for through an inconceivable course the Ville de Rio, which we did not at that time recognize in the fog, had steered to larboard and had come directiy down ups us with great swiftness. As she sought 8 herself from us by fur- ther unfortunate directions, she came back against us again at three different times, strik- ing us most violently euch time that she came back. She came more and more on a parallel line with us, so that the first holes were fol- lowed by oblique tears. Inaword the Ville de Rin first bore down on us directly and then — us in a siggag way in spite of our back- ng. J THE SITUATION WAS GRAVE. Our first and second buikheads were filled completely with water. Once I stopped our machine and looked out for the vessel which had just struck us, but the fog was so thick that I could no longer fiad her. I thought that she had sunk as 1 could obtain no re- aponee to my calls. Afterward I learned that she sunk five hours after the collision, and that her crew were saved by the Ville de Bor- deaux., Finding my researches in the direction ofthe unfortunate vessel fruitiess I had look after the vessel which I have the honor to command, and which was now threatened with foundering. I had to. think of my passengers and the emigrants passengers of all nationalities, Most of my passengers displayed admirable coolness and courage. The women showed themselves particulariy calm but un fortunately the Italian emigrants, who were in the neighborhood of became paunic- stricken. I had given orders to lower the boats, but in spite of my orders and the energetic opposition of my crew twenty or thirty of these emigrants seized upon boat No. 9, and the a ped part of them were drowned, Their bodies have not been re- govered. But what could I do? I could not have compromised the security and the lives of my passengers- and the ship itself, in order to make a vain search for these unfortunate victims of their own Japsadence. I kept my vessel directly ahead. had seen an English collier about this time, to which I had made a signal to fol- low me as I was in distress. This vessel was the Vulture. I steered La Champagne on to the beach as the best means of saying her. I was fortunate enough to succeed in this. The Vulture then came Blong by our side, and in a erfect calm and in the most complete order I owered my NR into boats and carried them to thé Vulture, She in turn took them safely back to Havre.“ The captain was very much unnerved when questioned concerning the responsibilities of collision, He said that he had a vonscilous- ness of having performed his du and he could not understand how the le de Rio could have pursued such a eourse as she did after the signals were made. He thongs that it would take a number of wheks for the repair ot La Champagne. The boat which was captured by the Italian emigrants was picked u * the Vulture, with two or three men still clinging to it. The Ville de Rio, which was sunk, lost no one, THE AMERICANS OR BOARD, La Champagne at the time of the disaster had on board 110 are gi passengers, thirty - six second-class, and 973 2 Among the first-olass passengers were the following \mericans: Mr. A.

THE ACTION OF THE PLAY begine at a period when the drug which trans- forms Dr. Jekyll into the mouster, Hyde, is inning to lose potency. The opening Ine presents a charming picture of domestic happiness in the house of Gen. sir Danvers Oarew, a wealthy East Indian officer on the re- tired list. There are present besides father nd daughter, the former’s sister, Mrs. Dr. yon, and the lawyer, Gabriel Utterson. They are Waiting tea for Lanyon and Jekyll. Dr. yon comes first and tells of a scene he has just witnessed—a child maimed and trampled upon by an i extraordinary creature, who seemed delighted with the effect of his cruelty. Then Jekyll arises pale and agitated. Pressed by the knowledge that it’s daily becoming more difficult to shake off She passions and personality of Hyde, he e. There is herea pes d his pre-occupation and tries to dis- si It. 10 Will not listen and he goes away, a little later as Hyde impelled to the is worst passions and finds Dan- Danvers orders the intrud- the house.

He places a chair by the fire for the invisible spirit of his murdered victim: He mocks and jeers him and pledges him in wines. The miserly old housekeeper “enters, counting the bank notes given her as a bribe by the police inspector who is on Hyde 's track. Hyde, from a place of conceal- ment, sees her, springs upon her, tears the notes to shreds and drives her away shrieking with rage and terror. There is a knocking— the police have returned.

A Theater during the * — — i HORSE-TAMING EXTRAORDINABY. Prof. Gleason’s Exhibition at the Olymp o Amusement Notes. The Olympic Theater was crowded last night tor the opening exhibition ot Prof, O. R. Glea- son, the horse-tamer and educator. The dis- play of the professor’s skill with wild and viciour animals was most instructive and entertaining and the audience shoved how thoroughly his efforts were appreciated by frequent aad enthusiastic lause.

In a few minutes the professor had eured his vielous tendency and had him so thoroughly under control that he would stand the banging of drums, the ringing of bells, flying of flags, N of revolvera and everything else all around him He was harnessed toa buggy and was driven around the stage without the least trouble: A nervous shyer was brought to a state of entire subjection so that nothing could frighten him, and a kicker from Scott Lynch’s stables was tame 80 that he did not mind sieigh-belis dangling from his tall and 4 fishing pole being tangled in his rear legs. When the janglers were attached to him at first he tried to kick the roof off the theater, but he soon dropped tothe Professor’s game and kept his heels still. The second horse was a rearer as well as a shyer, and the Professor mounted him with nothing but asimple rope bridle, made by passing the rope over the horse’s head and crossing it in his mouth. The animal plunged and reared for a few minutes, and looked once as if he would break the rope and jump into the bass drum in the orchestra, but alter a sensible use of the whip he was made to go at the will of the rider. There were many ex- citing incidents during the evening, and the professor showed himself to be a fearless and entirely capabie handler of horses. One of his contrivances to make an animal docile is the Eureka bridle made by fastening a rope around the horse’s neck in a slip-knot, then in his mouth over his head and under his upper lip. A clever exhibition was given by the profes- sor’s educated horse, Ham, which cun be driven without bridle, and obeys the crack of a whip and spoken order implicitly.

A BOLD DYNAMITER, A Sensational Incident at the Chicago Anti- Coercion Meeting. CHICAGO, III., May 10.—There was a sensa- tional incident at the anti-coercion meeting at Battery D lastnight. A few minutes before 9o0’clock a man was seen pushing his way toward the platform. He was busily engaged in distributing a flaming red circular. Word went round that the man was an intruder, and ove of the Committee of Arrangements was sent to know his business there, and how he came to be disturbing the meeting. One glance at the circular settled it, and tue pea- dler of red paper was incontinently hustied toward the door. He resisted, and fought with the tenacity and courage of a bulldog. Two or three stalwart policemen were called to the scene, and the intruder was drag outsige of the building. His pockets were lie- erally stuffed with circulars, and as the officers shook him into submission a shower of red hand-bills fell from every fold in his clothes. These circulars read as follows: ‘*By Irishmen, Ireland will be free; no home rule; total separation, nothing else; dynamite the indigestible pill for John Bull; United revolutions; I. C. R. 7. No one knew what the last three letters rep- resen and the dynamiter was asked to ex- plain. e would not offer an explanation, and the patrol took himto the armory. Toa reporter he said his name was Wm. E. Fitz- patrick and that he was a painter by trade. **Yes, I’m a dynamiter,’’ said be; and I’ve been a Fenian all my life.

STATISTIOS OF THE WORK DONE DURING THE PAST FISCAL YEAR. St. Louis Has 30.08 Miles of Granite on Her Highways and a Total of 837.14 Miles of Folid, Paved Streete—Macadam Oovers 278.26 Miles—Asphait, Wood Blocks and Telford Pavements — Streets Under Re- construction, Streets Under Contract and Streets Under Ordinance—What the Com - missioners Report Will Show—The Delay en the Lindell Avenue Boulevard-—im- ‘provements Last Year. Considerable comment has been made of late with regard to the work of street recon- struction and improvement in the oity, the main idea being that this work had fallen off or had become checked to a great extent, This is not altogether the case, and a consultation of the figures recently submitted to the Mayor in the annual report of the Street Commissioner, the report, by the way, has not yet been made pubiic, will show exactly how much work has been done in this direction. True, the work of macadamizing new streets has not been ad- vanced to an alarming extent, inasmuch as but 1.25 miles have been laid in the old and. 14 ot a mile in the new eity limite during the past year. This addition to that already made will give a total of 278.28 miles of macadam- ized streets in the city. GRANITE RECONSTRUCTION, In granite reconstruction, however, the amount of work done, while it does not ex- ceed that of the fiscal year preceding the last, so nearly approaches it that the total is about the same. During the past year &.53 miles of new granite streets have been made; during the year preceding 8.62 miles of new granite streets were made. These improvements have been well divided between the central and principal streets of the city, so that at the end of the fiscal year, April 9, the Street Commis- gioner’s report showed that the city had a streets at present being granitized, on which the contractors are at active work, are Eighteenth street, from Chestnut to Clark avenue; Eighth street, from Christy ave- nueto Franklin avenue, and Spruce street, from Fourth street. The streets under con- tract, or the streets the work of granitizing which has been already let and await the convenience of the contractors, are Twelfth street, from Gratiot to Chouteau avenue; Chouteau, from the west line of Second Caron- delet ayenue to the west line of Jefferson ave- nue; Gratiot street, from Twelfth street to Fourteenth; Gratiot street, from Fourth street to Seventh, and Tenth street, from Spruce street to Market street. The streets which have been finished since the annual report for the past year was handed in and which, therefore, are not included in that document, are Eighteenth street, from Chou- teau avenue to Austin street, and Ninth street, frum Pine to Olive. The streets provided to be reconstructed with granite by ordinances adopted by the Board of Public Improve- ments, but not yet let out to the contractors, are Eighth street, from Olive to Locust street; Ninth, from Olive to Locust, and Spruce, from Eighth to Twelfth street. So much for granite reconstruction. In addition to this there are two sections under contract for new construction with granite. They are Ninth street, from Clark avenue to Spruce,and Gratiot from a point 160 feet west of Tenth street to Twelfth street. WOOD-BLOCK PAVING. The Street Commissioner's report shows that of the old Nicholson system but .39 of a mile has been left in the entire city and this will, without deubt, be removed by the new reconstruction about to be done in the coming year. Of new woad-biock paving under- laid with . concrete base 1.34 miles were made during the year. This, together with what had been laid already makes a total of 2.35 miles of wood block paving in the city. But one section is now awaiting the con- tractor, and that is Washington avenue be- tween Compton and Grand avenue, This sec- tion is to be laid with pine wood biocks, con- orete base. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS. During the past year 2.46 miles of Telford pavement have been laid. This pavement is similar to that with which the Lindell avenue boulevard is being laid, and of which there is a total of 7.82 miles al ready laid. It is distributei1 chiefly in suburban streets and streets in the West End. These improvements, taken all to- gether, and exclusive of macadamized high- ways, will aggregate a total of 37.14 miles of reconstructed streets in St. Louis, that is of granite, wood blocks and Telford pavements. There are also under contract for new im- 1 and partial improvement a num er of streets inclusive of those coming under the head of boulevard, such as Lindell avenue and Forest Park boulevard. Those to be eim, proved, that is, raded, curbed, macadamized or laid with the Telford system are Cabanne from Laclede avenue to Pine street; Easton from Prairie avenue to Grand ayenue; Lindell ave- nue (boulevard) froma point 660 feet west of Grand avenue, or what is known as the line of the old city limits, to King’s highway; Fair- fax avenue from Vandeventer to Sarah; Twen- fk aes street from Farrar to Bremen avenue; ullanphy from Twenty-second to Twenty- fifth street; Spring avenue from St. Louis ave- nue to Garfield ayenue; Page avenue from Prairie avenue to Vandeventer avenue and Evans avenue from Spring avenue to Prairie avenue. The streets on the list under contract for artial improvement, that is, to be macadam- zed but no finished with guttering, etc., are Hebert from Twenty-second to Twenty-fifth street, and Prairie avenue from Blair avenue to Broadway. ASPHALT. The Street Commissioner’s report under the heading of asphalt shows that nothing what- ever has been done in this line during the past fiscal year. Of asphalt block paving, which has been discarded altogether as unservice- able, there is „% of a mile remaining, and even this will be torn up and replaced with a more durable peving uring the 8 yarns season. he status of monolithic asphalt pav- ing on concrete base, such as is laid on sections of Locust and Pine streets, remains unchanged from last year. The report shows thatthe 3.86 miles laid last i still remain without being increased. Of imestone block paving, a system which has also been abandoned, but .99 of a mile remains and this, too, will be torn up and repiaced with better material. THE WORK ON LINDELL AVENUE. More or less complaint has been heard Amon the members of the Lindell Avenue Improvement Association because of the tardiness of the contractors who are at work on the avenue paving it on the Telford system. The work, it will be remembered, was begun at the solicitation of propertv-owners along the line and when completed will make the avenue oné of the most attractive streets in the city. Mr. E. O. Stanard,a prominent member of the As- sociation, was seen to-day by a reporter for the Post-DISPATCH and questioned ag to the cause of the complaint spoken of. Mr. Stanard said: ‘‘The association has taken no con- certed action on the matter at ali that I know of, and I do not know that there is any special complaint beyond a general feeling along the line that the work has not been as rapid as we would like. It was begun some time ago and we thought it would have been completed by this. I really do not know the rea- son why it has not been and would certain! like to see the job finished as soon possible. At the same time the association has not taken up the matter officially, but its members individually are in- clined to the desire that the completion of the boulevard be pushed as rapidly as work on the 8. uty 8 t Commissioner uchenbach the matter said: The improve- menton Lindell ayenue is ary | an end now very rapidly, and we calculate that it will be entirely done in about six weeks.

T here are.13,000 undertakers in the United States and Canada, and they have two organs or trade journals published in New York in the interest of undertakers. Charles T. Whit- sett of this city belongs to the editorial staff of one of these papers, and is a never-failing, in fact the only paid, contributor to the other one. In most of the evangelical churches of the city circulars were distributed last Sunday, containing sugestions about funeral reforms whieh were passed by the Evangelical All- an oe in March last, and which were published in the Post-DIsPATCH at the time. In the May Ii number of one of these Under- takers’ Journals, Mr. Whitsett, over his own signature quotes these resolutions, and among other things says: ‘‘Every legitimate undertaker (probably not the livery men) will give them the hand of assistance in the matter of curtailing funeral expenses and also the Sunday business; but for them to suggest the holding of funerals inthe afternoon only is to suppose a metropolitan undertaker has only one funeral per day. The undertaker could therefore give his personal attendance to only one each day so that partiality and consequent dissatis- faction would be the result, besides, the erowding of all the work of the already abused men and horses engaged in the burial of the dead into half ot the day is as ridiculous as it is impossible. But every legitimate undertaker will help the clergy to curtail funeral expenses at every point, if for no other reason than that his led- ger bills receivable account—his unpaid billa— will soon be in a healthier condition. May, however, not be much improved until the family bills at the mourning coun- ters’’ are sensibly reduced, until the vulgar nonsense of using crape on the arms and hats of pall-bearers is abolished, until costly floral bills are lightened, until from $100 to $15,000 are no longer paid for burial lots and afterward improvements thereon costing as much mora. But all these will not come to pass, for if they did the world and our beautiful Christian burial would be less beautiful,and its influence on the living be less softening, refining and Christianizing.’’ AN INSANE FREAK, A Man and His Nephow Hidden for Years in Their Home. MARQUETTE, Mich., May 10,—Twenty-one years ago John Fiynn, aged 35, shut himself up at home with a sister, Mrs. Donohue, and was forgotten. Nine years ago Lawrente Donohue, son of Flynn’s sister, disappeared. Apparently some mystery was connected with the house, which had been closed and the curtains down for years, although oc- cupied by Mrs. Donohue. Yesterday the City Marshal forced an entrance and discovered Flynn, who had not been out for years, and learned that Lawrence Donohue was hidden in the same house, although he could not be found. The man refused to divulge his hiding-place. The woman claims the old man had been in the house twenty years, and her son Lawrence had not stepped outside the door for nine years. The old man fought desperately, but was taken to the poor- house. He is a pitiabie-looking object. rob- ably it is an insane freak, as no reason is given forthe strange action of the two men and the woman. What a Well-Known REestaurant-Keeper Says. 482 BROADWAY, NEW YORK, March 12, 1885. Some weeks ago ltooka severe cold, which settled on my lungs. I suffered great pain, considerable fever, and worst of all, found myself with aracking cough. Inthe evening I went to my box of Allcock’s Porous Plasters, intending to use them on my throat, chest and back. Unfortunately my wife had given all the Plasters away, and the consequence was that I spent a sleepless night. The next day I ap- plied an Alicock’s Porous Plaster to my throat, one to my chest, and one between my shoul- der-blades. By 1l20’clock my breathing was much easier, cough almost stopped, whilea gentie perspiration indicated that the fever was almost gone. In two days I was entirely cured. J. L. JONES.

New York, May 0.—The Committee of Wel- come to the Irish agitator, Wm. O’Brien, re. mained on the steamer John E. Moore, which left Castie Garden at 2:45 o’clock yesterday afternoon, tied up to the dock at Quarantine untii6o’clock. By that time it was evident thatthe Umbria was not coming up, and it was deter ined to go outside and meet the ship at anchor. Dr. Smith was invited aboard, a permit from the Custom-house secured and out into the fog the little ocratt sgarted with plucky Capt. Patterson at the wheel. The haze wassothick that the whistle was kept ata continuous toot. Darkness set in, and by that time the boat pushed on. First the Norman- die was found and word shouted back that the Umbria was out by the light ship. Away the committee’s boat started, stopping to inquire at several tramp steamers at anchor, until at 10 o’clock the big Cunarder was met, tinkling little bells and booming a great hoarse whistie, The steamer was crowded, andthe coming up of the wee steamboat brought everybody on deck. The first greeting of the visitor was a round of cheers for William O’Brien, and this was met by a general cheerof welcome, and in an instant later came back a sharp response in a call for three cheers for Lord Lansdowne, and from hundreds of thirsty English throats on the steamer’s crowded sides, the cheers came with a will. Cheers were hurled back for O'Brien, and by this time it. was impossible forthe captain of the visit- ing steamer to make known his wishes about ropes, etc. Inalull of the storm of hurrahs the English national anthem was started, and while hundreds sang God Save the Queen,’’ scores sang GOD SAVE IRELAND.’’ It was a novel sight, indeed, for such an hour and place, „Take this rope!’’ was shouted again and again from the lower steamer to the quarter- masters on the big Cunarder. Not the least attention was paid to the re- quest, and instead came back chaffing from passengers and others, At last Capt. McMicken was called for, and with a littie bull’s eye lantern came to the side. Why do you come, and who are you, any- how, coming here and shouting, ‘Take that rope, as though we were dogs. You can not come on till the doctor comes.’’ We have the doctor and the Customs of- cer,“ was shouted back. Then come on with ve.“ Pass down a rope ladder,’’ was the request from those on the wee tenaer. ‘*We have no rope ladder for you, was the surly response of the Cunard commodore and a cheer for William O’Brien was flung back in answer. An ordinary ladder was found on the J. E. Moore. Upthisthe doctor climbed. A stout voice called out: ‘‘Are there auy friends of mine there who wish me?’’ It was O’Brien’s voice and when a hearty ‘‘yes’’ went back he said: Then I'll come if only as a compliment to the cowards that control her. He got on the ladder bravely. Just at that moment the bawser parted and he came very near taking a dip into the Atlantic. He got on board, however, and with another round of cheers for O’Brien and counter cheers for Lansdowne the vessels parted company. THE rcon TO O'BRIEN. Dowa in the cabin the Irish patriot, in his traveling suit of frieze, was given the address already published. He made response, thanking the committee for this wéicome to American seas if not to American lands. He spoke of his mission as a delicate, and to some extent dangerous one. He spoke of Lansdowne as a type, an having been selected by the landlords as a sort of figurehead. The question was to be submitted to the Canadian people to pene- trate.

From the Greensburg Record. If the Creator every made anything more contemptible than the political bum He favored humanity by not turning it loose on the community, and it is the tha}; this creature works 2 that makes him endurable. re are a great many of him, or in other words, he works in a great many ways. We might t consider the Mone Borrowing Bum.“ He strikes the candi- date. He 2 2 himself into favor if possible. He informs the candidate of the number of men he controls in matters —.— He may — bn rene letters purposely 8 and graciously ma out a plan hich a whole — may be secured. He is the soul of earnest- ness—the paragon of sincerity. He nt will speak of 5 an fess not 8 have su bunda influence in his own pare, tend that a large con gent of a —_ sition is subservient to his will. he picture he draws is enchanting and the candidate who is not posted will congrat- ulate himself on the bonanza struck. The candidate is not kept long in ignorance as to how much this thing is going to cost; or, rather, what favor the bum“ will ask in return for this service. The bum mildly suggests that in the course of human events it has b 3 necessary for him to negotiate a loan, this is demanded of the candidate on — scale, and the bum comes down so rapldly that the candidate is often inclined to meet him about the five-dollar point, and once and forever the business is en and the bum is ready to open negotiations with another candidate for the same office and in the same political party. This fel- low should perambulate. The ‘*Ten-cent Bum“ is, perhaps, as ob- noxious, but not as dangerous. The pre- vailing price ofadrink of whisky gives the sucker away, and he often 12 a hasty judgment by announcing the pose of his asking to be just that an cle pated in the ‘‘fixed price.“ Should the candidate visit a bar-room he will find in wren 2 laces a long lineof eager ex- ctants, who believe that they are en- titled to the consideration of a ‘‘set up.” The bar-keeper sometimes ingeniously ar- ranges matters to the great accomodation of these distinguished and characteristic citizens. There are places where a close observer could calculate the 4 — uses of a candi- date’s canvass tching carefully the size of the crow that fits from one bar- number in the crowd by the nu bar-rooms in the town, and this by ten, it will give the expenses the candi- date has to stand in that lace chargea- ble to the ‘‘liquid account. ow many votes this made the —— largely de- nds on whether he was the last to strike he town or not. The 10-cent bum should be sent to the tread-mill, and the candi- date who “monkeys” with him should lose the support of the people and will lose it. Auction Sale of Paintings.

There is an actress wellknown iu this city who has won distinction by sheer force of merit. About twelve years ago the company in which she was the star became stranded one of the interior towns. 22 gage was seized to sa n in a claim of $90 their extremity a gist of the town stepped forward and vanced the money, and the star and company went on their way rejoi The st was not a public-s pirited man; he wasnot noted for benevolent freaks: he had never mingled with theatri- cal people. But he had seen the actress perform, and was pleased with her and with the conscientious manner in which she tried to give satisfaction. He accepted no security for the money which he ad- vanced; it was not refunded (o him, and in course of time he forgot all about it. Last winter the drug * met with finan- cial disaster, and the a bill upon his premises.

ALGER’S PURCHASES, Michigan’s Ex-Governor Investing in Costly Munkacsy Paintings. By Telegravh-to the POsT-DISPATCH. New YORK, May 10.—Ex-Gov. Alger of Mich- gan, while in Paris last summer, saw Mun- kacsy’s painting, ‘‘Christ Before Pilate,’’ and on its arrival in New York he offered Munkac- sy’s agent, Sedelmeyer, $60,000 for it. The offer was refused. Mr. Alger and Mr. Sedel- meyer afterward met in Detroitand Mr. Alger offered $90,000, which was accepted. A contract for the picture was drawn up and signed, and Gov. Alger paid $2,500 to bind the bargain. The picture wasto have been forwarded to him on his return from a trip to California and Mexico. Gov. Alger had a fondness for Munkacsy’s paintings, and had already bought Kittens, by the same artist, at a cost of $8,000. While on his way to California he re- ceived a telegram from Mr. Sedelmeyer stating that the painting had been sold without his (Sedelmeyer’s) Knowledge to Wanamaker of Philadeiphia for $100,000, and he offered the Governor $3,000 for bis release. This was deciined. Mr. Alger ay let Sedelmeyer off on the payment of $8, : the price he had paid for Kittens, and Detroit lost Christ Before Pilate,’’ Goy. Alger proposed putting in the new art gallery as a gift to the people ofthe city. It is stated that Gov. Alger has now offered $45,000 tor Munkacsy’s ‘‘Last Days of Mozart,’’ but that is held at $60,000.

BALTIMORE, Md., May 10.—Scott Pearce, liv- ing near Corbett Station, twenty-two miles from this city, stabbed and killed Edward Bond (colored) yesterday. The men, with five others, got caught in the rain and took refuge in a blacksmith shop while the propri- etor wasabsent.

Joe had not been given any opportunity to play until last Satur- day, when he was put on third base, a position he had not occupied since 1879, when he played with Cincinnati. Even in practice play he was not allowed to work with the regulars, but was forced to romp about with the colts. As a veteran he was reatly affected and finally determined to obtain his release. Yesterday morning he walked into Mr. Day’s office at 121 den Lane, and said: Mr. Day, Iwant my release. I know you don’t intend to play me and I will not draw. salary unless I earn it. player to be a mere substitute and besides it hurts me professionally. I know I am as good a second baseman as there is around here, even admitting that I cannot bat well or run bases. I must have my release, and I tell you frankly, thatifI am not released or made to play ball I will not report for practice or ap pear to draw salary.’’ The President ofthe Leaguers became thoughtful and then said: I'll tell you what it is, Joe, the Mets want you, andif I can obtain the consent of the other League clubs-to let you go there I will release you.’’ ‘*l am not to be sold, am 1?’ exclaimed Ger- hardt. Oh, no, said Mr. Day, ‘‘I have no idea of seiling you, Joe. You shall have an uncondl- tional releuse ifany.’’ Then the pair visited Managing Director Watrous of the Mets who was overjoyed at the prospect of getting so valuable aman. Terms were quickiy made, Gerhardt naming his price with the remark, think $2,500 enough for nearly any ball player, Mr. Watrous.’’ Mr. Day said yesterday evening: ‘‘I have not yet released Gerhardt, although I shall possibly do so. You see he is very weak at the bat, and we must win by batting. Tnat’s why we keep Ewing on second. Gerhardt is a — 4 fielder, and I will be sorry to part with im; besides, he is a good man onateam. He is a hard worker and has a good influence over the other men. If the other League teams consent I shall let him go to the Mets.’’ Gerhardt said: ‘‘I asked for my release, be- cause I got sick of being made a fool of. I can cover second as well as any man. If it was not for ‘Buck’ Ewing I would be there to- day. He signed to play second base instead of catcher. If I was as good a catcher as he is I would be ashamed to do as he has done. But I am glad to get away for there is jealousy that can not be defined. Every man counts up his hits after a game but none of them refer to their errors. I told Mr. Watrous I would sign with the Mets if permitted to do so, and I wiil. Why, when I would report for practice Ward would not ask me to work with the nine but kept me with the colts. Iam weak at batting, but I was not allowed to practice as the others did. 1 will be glad to get away. — -B . — THE NEW BALTIMORES. Manager Barnie and His Team Put on Their War Paint. Manager Barnie and his new Baltimgres ar- rived here late last evening and registered at the Lindell Hotel. The club is carrying four- teen men with them onthe present trip and they are all insplendid trim,except Knouff,the pitcher, who has been troubled somewhat of late with malaria. Manager Barnie says that he will probably give Knouff a trial in one of the present series of gene with the Browns. ‘*Phenomenal’’ Smith and . the left handed wonder, will do most of the work in this city, if not all of it. Manager Barnie was asked what he thought of the present series of games, and he said: Well, I realize that the Browns are no easy club to win games from, and therefore I do not feel like predicting ury- thing about results. At the same time we're in the field this year to make the old-timers hustle, andI think we can. I don't say we're going to win the championship—that’s all bosh. We are going to round up about fourth, and if we do that we Ii do well. When Mr. Barnie was asked about the re- ported break-down of Smith, the phenomenal itcher, he said: ‘‘Smith is not broken down. hat sort of talk is nothing but stuff. Kilroy will do most of the pitching, and has done it for the reason that his arm is strong and not easily tired. Smith has had no difficulty with his arm and is in as good form as ever. He won three out of the eleven games we played. We were de- feated three out of four at Brooklyn through errors, and we should have won those games. Brooklyn is playing great ball and is 323 hard to defeat, but Ithink we have a better club than they have. Speaking of the rumored big dealin the American Association, in which OCin- cinnati, the Mets and Athletics are involved, Manager Barnie said that there was really nothing at all in the mat- ter. ‘‘Why,’’ said he, ‘‘the constitution of the Association and the National agreemant would 2 anything of that kind being done. s for the statement that Louisville will be out next year, I do not believe it. Louisville made $6,000 last year, and will cer- tainly make money this year. Instead of the Association breaking up, I’m inclined to be- lieve that one or two of the strong clubs in 2 League will come over to us for the season 1 The Baltimore team is not considered a ‘‘pic- nic’’ by the members of the Browns by any means. All of these, Robinson, Latham O'Neill, Welch, Comiskey, Gleason and Bushong, particularly the latter, consider the oungsters one of the hardest teamsto beat nthe Association. Their main reason for respecting the visitors is that the Baltimores are acomparatively strange team for them and that to-day is their first game with the club. Bushong says that Burns and Smith and Trott are really great ball- players. The Doctor has a higher opinion of the team than even Man- at the season’s end. he present series of games will doubtless settle the doubt as to which club, the Browns or the Baltimores, will be the leader in the race for the coming month. The Browns themselves say they will win three out of the four. while the visit- ors are more modest and decline to express an opinion on the subject. 0 Base Ball Yesterday.

At Detrolt—Detroit, 10; Pittsburg, 8. Shurtleff Won. The first game of base ballin the-series be- tween the Shurtleff College and Blackburn University nine was played at Carlinville, III., last Saturday. The game was distinguished by some very fine pis on both sides and heavy batting by the visitors. The following is the score by innings: a Inni * geen 4 6 7 8 E BOR GBS fh ge The Blackburn pitcher struck out nine men and the Shurtieff pitcher eight men. both the first and sixth innings Shurtieff scored a home run. As to Hudson, Rumors of all sorts have been fiying around the country of late regarding Nat Hudson, the young pitcher of the Browns, at present hold- ing off from the club for higher salary. One is that he will be sold to Cincinnati, another I am too old a ager Barnie himself, and places them second } ee irc Hudson, and that he had received no offers from either Phelps or Stern. If any club in the Association desires to buy Hudson, the pitcher can douhtless be bought, but a good price must be paid for him. At present there are no negotiations pending for his purchase with any Club in the Association, let alone the League. To-Morrow’s Contest. The Baltimores and the Browns will play the second game in their present series to-mor- row at Sportsman’s Park. ‘‘Phenomenal’’ Smith and Trott, his catcher, will be the bat- tery for the visitors and Caruther3 and Bush- ong tor tbe home club. The t#ams will be stationed as below: Positions. 3 Tucker Greenwood Diamond Sparks. The rejuvenated Baltimores and the rejuve- nated Cincinnatis come together May 20. The tip is that Baltimore will win. Mr. Barnie says he cannot pick out the man on his team who hits the ball the hardest. He says the whole team is batting with great suc- céss and that he is satisfied with their work at the bat. Kelly and the dummies have been doing adly of late. They were beaten yesterday by the Phillies, and although the $10,000 prize stepped to the bat three times he did not make a single hit. Latham, the third baseman, has re love for Manager Barnie. He says that he saw the latter attempt to catch in a game about four vears ago down East’’ and the score showed an indefinite number of passed balls. President Von der Ahe was very anxious to secure Burns, the third baseman of the old Newarks, and now the short-stop for the Bal- timores, but the latter team succeeded in capturing him. Burns was in big demand last winter. a King, the tow- headed 51, 800 pitcher, will try to win one game for the Browns this week. Bushong has undertaken to coach King intoa ood and effective pitcher and to teach him ow to command the ball. Thus far the Doc- tor is satisfied with his work and thinks that King will be a wonder in another month. Kilroy and Ramsey are two phenomenons, but the first is worth three of the second. Kilroy is a modest young boy who never allows his self-conceit to overbalance his abilities and is always anxious to work. He is quiet and sober. Ramsey is an offensive, quarrelsome, noisy and dissipated fellow whose face would condemn him in any re- spectable company. The apparent failure of Phenomenal Smith thus far this season has brought out many 1 told you so’s.’’ Smith has been hit hard in every game. As is well known, Smith was well-nigh invincible on Newark grounds last season, and the secret of his success here, so the story goes, was the rough grounds. The ball was soon pretty well roughed, which gave the phenomenon a good hold on it and enabled him to get his curves on well. Persons who watched his work say that he was alwaps hit hard in the early part of the game. This story seems plausible and is strengthened by the statement that Smith told Daly, now of the Chicagos, who caught him now and then, that he feared he would not do as well at any place outside of Newark for this reason. In opposition to this claim it can be said Smith pitched good vall on turf diamonds last season.—([Philadel- phia Times. The Little Diamond.

The great Kentucky Derby, which will be run at the Louisville track to-morrow, is just now the topic among tne racing fraternity. The race is over the regular Derby distance, one mile and a half, 8-year-olds,$100 entrance, half forfeit, $1,500 added, of which $300 to sec- ond and $150to third. Speculation on the re- suit is as variable as it is extensive. The Courier-Journal says: Jim Gore is evidently in great racing shape, or his looks belie him. His skin is as fine as silk, and his limbs look almost perfect. The talk eyerywhere is: ‘‘Gore will come mighty near winning ifthe track is dry. No confi- dence is expressed in him as a mud-horse. ‘*Dare-devil’’ Fitzpatrick, who piloted the reat Troubadour to victory in: last year’s arten and who defeated McLaughiin on Miss Woodford has been eng to ride Gore in the ‘ — * and is a hard jock' to beat. Mr. McOampbell stands to win more money on his horse than almost any two owners to- ether, and Gore will doubtless be in the hunt om ‘‘eend to eend.’’ The following horses are eligible to start in the aforesaid event, most of whom will prob- ably face the flag: J.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 10.—In 1875, tweive years ago, the Kentucky Derby, for 3-year-old colts and fillies, distance one and one- alt miles, was inaugurated. A success from the first, it has yearly grown in prominence and popularity until now it is by odds the most prized of all the Western turf events, and it is doubtful if the East can point with such pride to a single racing fixture. To-morrow the great event will take place and Louisville and Kentucky to-day discuss little else. The race has never been more open to speculation. Each candidate hasafull quota of admirers, though hereaboute Jim Gore and Banburg are best thought of. Lucky Baldwin arrived direct from Cali- fornia last night. Interrogated relative to his Derby candidates, Pendennis and Goliah, Mr. Baldwin stated that before the string left California Pendennis was to his mind much the faster of the two, and in a trial mile and a halt demonstrated his superiority. He said that, as he had not yet seen his trainer, r. McClellan, he could not assert whether both horses would start . or not. He had grave doubts as to either of his horses’ — J to beat Banburg, whom he thiuksa — y improved animal over his 2- year · old orm. Tufts From the Turf. Jim Gore worked the Derby distance Sunday in 2 472. Godfrey, will have the Derby. Joe Ullman, the bookmaker, is now at Louisville and saysthat Banburg will be the post favorite for the Derby. J. W. Rogers, trainer for Capt. S. 8. Brown, has departed for the Coney Island track, taking with him Troubadour, Rightaway, Stuveysant and others. Brown has declared all his Derby nominations. A. J. Cassatt announces that he is willing to match The Bard against any horse in the country, barring Tremont, at a mile and a quarter for any amount upto $20,000. In re- gard to Tremont Mr. Cassatt says he is — to match The Bard against the unbeaten blac colt ata distance of one mile anda half or over. The time, 2.08, made by Jacobin in the Dis- tillery stake at Lexington last week, is the best the stake has ever been won in, and Jacobin is the second 3- year-old that has won it, Bond- holder winning in 1883 in 2:08%. The other winners were: 1882, Creosote, 2:00%; 1884, Freeland, 2:26; 1885, Modesty, 2:08%; 1886, Tyrant, 2:09. Jacobin ran in all, last year, sixteen times, of which he won four, all purse races. Old Modesty seems in pretty fair shape, although a little higher in flesh than usual. It is hoped to see this fast and game mare as good as she was year before last, when it took a streak of lightning to beat her. COorrigan’s string was never in such bad health as at pres- ent. Lastspring hehad two fine two-year- olds, Jennie Tracy and Hinda, but after leav- ing Louisville Hinda did not come up to ex- pectations. Jennie Tracy, however, was probably the best of the Western fillies of last year, and won mony gees stakes for Mr. Cor- rigan.—([Louisville Express. Says the Courier-Journal: ‘‘Baldwin has declared the gray colt, El Monte, and will probably start Goliah, with Murphy for a mount, and Pendennis, West up. The stable was one of the most conspicuous on the track yesterday, and Pendennis and El Monte were sent along at a merry pace. Pendennis isa brown with black points, of good height and compactly built. ittle is known of his speed or staying powers, but he is a stout-loo — colt, surely. El Monte is a light - built colt, an apparently speedy. Mr. Baldwin's 2-year - olds are of great size, and the two fillies, Truxillo and Los Angeles, are undoubtedly possessed of great speed. They are both Kentucky- bred, being purchased as yearlings at Elmen- dorf.

Slosson, Chicago’s champion billiard player, will sail for Liverpool next Saturday in company with Signorand Mme. Patti- Nicolini on the steamer Umbria, says the Inter Ocean. He left Chicago last evening for Traverse City, Mich., where he will leave his child; then he leaves for New York. Vignaux is extremely anxious to playa match with Slosson in Paris at balk-Iine billiards, and says that $20,000 could be raised, among the wealthy Parisians who follow his game, for the privi- lege of seeing such a match. He also says that Siosson should come to Paris if he wants to issue another challenge, as he, Vignaux, had beaten Slosson a majority of the games he played in this country. Slosson said yesterday: ‘‘Vignaux is mis- taken; he beatmethree times and I beat him three times, so we are even. As for a match with him. I may make one when I have con- cluded my visit at Mme. Patti's home. I have a letter here from a German prince, who says he is very anxious to see me play * if I will make such a match he will take $1 28 stake money and give me all the stakes win. ‘*Will you play Schaefer in Europe?’’ don't think so; I don’t positively know that he is going abroad.

Patti’s, and I shall probably not meet him.“ Mr. Slosson will spend several months at Craig-y-nos, Patti’s castle in Wales, and will play for the Prince of Wales there, who has announced his intention of visiting Craig-y- nos during Slosson’s stay.

NEw YORK, May 10.—The decision of Judge Dykman inthe suit of the Consolidated Ex- change to compel the Commercial Telegraph Company to furnish it with the quotations of the Stock Exchange, and to compel the Stock Exchange to furnish its quotations tothe Com- raercial Company according to the agreement between them, is an important one in all its bearings, not only tothe parties in interest, but to the entire public. The Stock Exchange has always claimed to be a private institution. It has no public’ charter. It is formed like a club and its members are bound only by the by-laws they have made themselves. The Exchange is governed by a committee, to which is delegated absolute power and which meets in secret. It legis- lates on matters affecting the financial world, but the public, it is held, is not entitled to any information about the meetings. change holds that the quotations made within its doors are its own absolutely. Judge Dykman’s decision just reverses this theory of the Stock Exchange. Instead of be- ing a private institution, he declares it to bea ublic institution. Speaking of the Stock exchange, he says: ‘*The quotations from the Stock Exchange furnish the standard of value for the guide and control of trust companies and savings institutions, for trustees and executors, and for private investors. The great paramount importance, therefore, of such sales seems to stamp them with a public interest and bring them under the —— power and dominion exercised by the Legisiature and the courts over all public employments. Such was the doctrine enun- ciated in the Chicago warehouse cases, and such is the underlying principle of all modern legislation, both Federal and State, for the regulation of trade and commerce, whether in the hands of public bodies or pri- vate persons. the New Tork Stock Exchange was a joint stock association, conducted as it is now, the right of interference by the courts of the legislature for its regulation! would be unquestionable. But the same power may be exercised for the regulation of thé conduct of private citizens in the transaction of their business or the use of their property whenever its exercise be- comes necessary for the welfare of the public. The nature and charac- ter of the business transacted at the Stock Exchange affect it with a public inter- est. It is of great concern to the public and so becomes invested with interest thereto and it seems to be within the constitutional authority of the courts of equity in the silence of the legislative enactment to compel and enforce the publicity of the quotations in subordina- tion to the interests of the public.’’ Auction Sale of Paintings.
