RUTTER, UNDERTAKER — 28 Aris? EDITION DAVIT’S DANGER. PROBABILITY THAT HE WILL BE PROSE- CUTED FOR HIS BODYKE SPEECH. A Message Requesting That President Cleveland’s Attention Be Called to the Bodyke Outrages—The Crown Prince’s Iliness—An Important Discovery—The „Times“ and Parnell—Gladstone’s New- port Speech—The War in Afghanistan— Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lorpoyw, June 7.—I have reason to believe that the Government intends to prosecute Davitt for his speech at Bodyke. I have just received a copy of a message sent to America by Davitt from Bodyke, as follows: The work of extermination is going on, the people contesting every inch. The spirit ot resistance is admirable, but the odds are against us. Suggest that a deputation of friends from the Knights of Labor wait upon the President and call his attention to Engiand’s policy, forcing thousands of people to leave Ireland every week. We want the means of succour for the evicted, and recompense for those imprisoned for resistance in the cause of justice. Bodyke is fighting the battle of Ireland.’’ The evictions at Bodyke are likely to be pro- tracted over a considerable period. The ten- ants are holding on forthe reason, among oth- ers, that the ejectment decrees expire on the Met inst., and if they can keep their homes till then; they may prolong their occupation. GLADSTONE AND THE UNIONISTS. The Unionists have returned an absolute non-possumus to Gladstone after receiv- ing his reconeiliation proposal with scorn. Hartington refuses to enter- tain the question of a further confer- ence. Mr. „ GObamberlain’s fool ish but stanch lieutenant, tells me that the time is gone by when Gladstone can reunite the even if he would. now accept nothing but the absolute with- drawal of the home-rule policy, and d fresh start on his own line. He expects Glaastene to personally humiliate himself and disavow both the methods and principle of the new de- parture. The battle will now be fought, and to the bitter end probably without any further offer of conciliation. The markets are dull on account of to- morrow. England. THE TIMES AND PARNELL. Lonpown, June 7.—The Times this morning publishes another installment of its ‘‘Parnell- ism and Crime’’ articles. Opposite its leader page it prints a fac-simile of the tenth page of the Irish World of New York, of February 16, 1884, and also the greater portion of Patrick Ford’s address published in the same issueée The publications are accom- an explanatory articie describing | the various funds mentioned and the fate of the men connected therewith. In an editorial onthe subject the Times says: ‘‘The whole conspiracy, whether carried on by mealy- mouthed gentlemen, who sit at London dinner tables, or by friends who organize arson and murder, is one and indivis- able. It is paid out of the same purse, worked by the same men, directed to the same ends, and inspired by one universal hatred of England, and a determination to bring about, if possible, a complete separation between England and Ireland. Whether the money goes to support the Gladstonians in Parliament or to equip desperadoes for the committal of outrages in English towns is a mere matter of tactics. . Whenever we find the constitutional agitators with the mask laid aside, asin the case of Mr. Davittat Bodyke, we find that their language, sentiments and aims are identical with those of the rufflans by whose support they live, and whom they, in Parliament, pretend to be ignorant of.’’ GLADSTONE'S SPEECH. Mr. Gladstone, in aspeech at Newport, in- veighed against the change of venue provided forin certain cases by the Irish crimes act amendment Dill and against the measure being made permanent. Ireland. THE EVICTIONS AT BODYKK. DUBLIN, June 7.—The evictions at Bodyke were continued to-day. Tenant McNamara, who was behind in his rent, defended his hous e but the bailiffs broke a hole in the wall. Logs and boiling water were thrown through the hole at the evicting force. A policemen, who was holding the Colonel’s um- brella, dashed through the opening made by the bailiffs, and other officers fol- lewed him. A fight ensued and the tenants were evicted and afterward arrested. The balliffs charge the tenante with having thrown vile rot upon them, but this is denied. A tenant named Murphy made a similar re- sistance of eviction from his holding. Wales. GLADSTONE AT CARDIFP. CARDIFF, June 7.—Mr. Gladstone arrived here this morning from Swansea. A large crowd had gathered at the station, and upon his arrival he was given an enthusiastic re- ception. As the train left the station on its way to London, Mr. Gladstone was salated with loud and prolonged cheering by the assemblage. AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. The Documents and Plaus of a Spy—Sir Charles Dilke—Extensive Forgeries. Special Cablegtam to the Post-Dispatch. Paris, June 7.—The Journal du Havre, in an article upon the recent Champagne disaster, says that all the unclaimed baggage was brought to Havre. Among this baggage were a few valises and two or three trunks. These have just been opened for the purpose of trac- ing their owners. In one of the trunks a sinh- be printed in book form. Heis now pre- paring a series of articles on the English army. : EXTENSIVE FORGERIES. Paris officials are very much disturbed over the discovery of very large forgeries through which a number of leading banks in Faris and throughout Europe have lost large sums. These consist of very skillfully con- cocted letters of credit, purporting to have been issued by the Anglo-California Bank of San Francisco, The letters of credit are al- ways presented by very gentlemanly-looking men, who have with them letters establishing their identity. Everything is in such regular form that many of the most prominent banks have been deceived. The largest sum drawn from any one bank was $8,000. It is estimated that this gang of swindlers have succeeded in getting $100,000 from various European banks through these fraudulent letters of credit, and have thus far escaped arrest. — — UNSER FRITZ’ ILLNESS. The German Emperor Indisposed—An Im- portant Military Invention. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LonpDon, June 7.—All news from the medical eircles in Berlin now possesses the greatest in- terest. The Crown Prince, it is said, is com- ing to London so as to be near Dr. Mackenzie. The latter is to see the Prince again this week, and has left for Berlin. THE EMPEROR INDISPOSED. The aged Emperor is indisposed. It is said he has caught a slight cold. He has been obliged to give up going to Liegnitz where he expected to attendareview. Even the slight iliness of the Emperor is a subject for grave consideration. The constant danger with him is the developing of weakness of his stomach. A MILITARY INVENTION. The German authorities have added anew machine to their military equipment. It is a combination of steam engine, electrical ma- chine and huge reflector. It can de run over any kind of ground. It will be used for tne purpose of projecting a strong light in front of important works so as to guard against sur - prises. TELEPHONE IMPROVEMENTS. Inventors of the graphiphone in the United States will have to look to their laurels. Messrs. Western Brothers, electricians at Munich, have just invented an apparatus which makes a perfect and permanent record of sounds transmitted through a telephone. Toorkistan. A PURE INVENTION. Sr. PETERSBURG, June 7.—It is asserted that the recent story tnat fourteen Bokharan officials at Kerki were murdered by Afghans because they refused to incite the inhabitants to resist the Russian advance was a pure m- vention, befug simply a pretext for the oocu · pation of Kerk. Ai, banistan. A GAME OW STARVATION.

Belgtum. WANTS To ABANDON OFFICE. BRUSSELS, June7.—The principal Govern- ment organ asserts that the Prime Minister of Belgium desires to abandon office. The Dominion. NO GENERAL JAIL DELIVERY. OTTawa, Ontario, June 7.—In the Canadian Parliament yesterday the Minister of Justice strongly opposed the motion of Mr. Sproule for a general jail delivery in the hour ot the Queen’s Jubilee. He deprecated the opinion held by some of the members that the crimi- nalsinthe penitentaries were unfortunates, the victims of the tribunals of Canada, and thought that there could be no more foolish way of celebrating the jubilee than by freeing those whose sole aim was to inflict injury on the community. The motion was shelyed in- definiteiy. — — MISSOURI LEGISLATURE. The State Capitol Improvement—BEailroad Bills Introduced.

Fowatt of Newark, delegate from District Assembly 8,715 and proxy for 9,896 cutters and 6,376 girls said: ‘‘We must have a change of some kind before long in the organ- ization of shoemakers or the. Knights of La- bor in Newark will bea thing of the past. The cause for the great falling off in membership dates back to last July, when we presented a list of pricés to the shoe manufacturers which eventually was placed in the hands of the General Executive Board. Jo- seph E. Quinn, Master Workman of District 49 of New York, was then an auxililary member of the General Executive Board and was sent to ovr city to effect a settlement of the trouble. Mr. Quinn is a book-binder by trade, and he signed agreements for one year which resulted ina very yeneral dissatisfac- tion. We have long looked to this national movement of the shoemakers to enable us to restore our membership and give us an op- portunity to send shoemakers to our em- ploye.s to settle shoemakers’ grievances. We most have A NATIONAL ORGANIZATION of our craft of some kind, inside the Knights of Labor if we can, outside if we must. William Cates, a member of the Joint Board of Arbitration of Cincinnati, said: The shoe- makers of this country must have complete control of their own affairs. In my city there are 3,000 shoemakers, divided into eight local assemblies under District Assembly No. 48. Why are we tobe controlied and have our settled by a lot of not know anything You may just as well think of setting a bricklayer to repair a watch, and he would know just as much about it as some of the members of the Executive Board know about shoemaking. There is consider- able opposition in various quarters to a national trade assembly, as it will take a great part of the revenues away from these mixed districts, but if this movement is for the bene- fit of the whole trade, and 1 think it is, you will find that we shall succeed and the oppo- sition will give way. P. D. Dougherty, a veteran Knight of St. Orispin, of Philadelphia, said: I was one of the committee appointed by District Assembly 70 (shoemakers) of Philadelphia to wait upon the General Executive Board and endeavor to come to an understanding on this matter. This was in January last, and at that time the Gen- eral Executive Board told us to go on with our convention, and we should have acharter. It was well understood at the time that none of our locals would be compelled to have permission to withdraw from the present district. Sincethen some hidden in- fluence has been at work to get the General Board to reconsider its former action, and last week the same committee from District As- sembly 70, were informed that they would have to obtain at least ten locals, representing five different States, with permission from their District Assembly to withdraw and or- ganize their National Trades Assembly. We are not children and don’t deserve such treatment. The Amalgamated Association.

Mary was a very pretty little girl, 9 — old and exceptionally smart for a gir) of er age. Her mother and uncle, whom the little thing was compelled to call father, were just the opposite, dirty, laz and for the greater part of their time drunk. Last Wednesday morning little Mary came howe from school very sick. She told her mother that she was unwell, butthe woman was too drunk to understand what the child was say- ing. Here lies a mystery. It isnot known what alled the chiid, and whether her mother did anything for her or not. At any rate, everybody in the neighborhood 18 totally ig- norant of what tow lace from Wednes- day upto yesterday. The uncle and mother for the past six days were beastly drunk, and any questions asked concerning the bright little girl was answered as only drunken people can answer, by agrunt and a shake ofthe head. Finally a resolution was adopted by several men in the neighborhood, to break into the house and see what was the matter with the little one, as she was quite a favorite with every one. The door was opened and the three young men waiked into the house. On the floor in the back room lay the mother in a drunken sleep. he uncle in the middle room, also asleep by the effects of liquor. A small room on the left side of the house was the only one left to be examined. Pushing the door open tne men were driven back byasickly odor.

A CLEVER CROOK. Queer History of P. A. D. Rosenberg Charged With Swindling. P. A. D. Rosenberg, alias Wm. Graff, charged with attempting to defraud Wesley Austin of the Laclede Hotel out of #43, waived examination before Judge Noonan this morn- ing and was held forthe Grand-jury in the sum of $800. He attempted to pass a bogus check on Mr. Austin. Rosenberg is a man of remarkable learning and brilliancy, but wien a natural tendency to be crooked. Seventeen years of his life were spent in German Univer- sities, and he speaks almost eve? — 4 language with thé same fluency 1 o does his own tongue: His knowledge of Greek, Latin, Sanscrit and Hebrew is wonderful, and he can quote works of the at writers ofall countries almost from beginning to end— Homer, Shakespeare, Goethe and others are equally familiar to him, He has traveled the peng at and gy mo te to the arper’s and other ge oe me time 3 he was — to the House of Correction in Milwaukeé for one year swindling a man, and w his time was up he an to do on the various rman an assumed name. un impression on tue editors and all d letters . r his iden for the there under recommendation.

Mr. Duross readily showed that there would be little use ed on the contracto would certainly be high. Mayor Francis and the interview tlemen of Public Fighting for a Franchise. President John Scullin of the Union Depot lines who asks foran extension of his roads over Tayon avenue bridge and through the southwestern part of the city, and President Treadway who asks the same rights for a cable road, appeared ore the Railroad Committe of the Council to discuss with the Southwestern Railroad or- dinances. Mr. Scullen’s bill was called up urst. Mr. Leo Rassieur appeared before the committee to protest against grantingthe right of way to astreet car company along Second Carondelet avenue, in front of the Peabody public school. Mr. Judson appeared and stated that in 1874 franchise was granted tothe Park Railroad ompany to extend its tracks along Park ave- nue north of Lafayette Park to Grand avenue and urged that care be taken not to grant rights for four tracks along Park avenue as may de done if Council bill No. 2is not amended. He favored the bill if this possibility was provided against. Mr. scullin stated that he had made arrangements for a cable road. H. O. Siegmund, a resident of South Jeffer- son avenue appeared and spoke in favorofthe franchise to the Cable road, promising rapid transit to and from the southwestern portion of the city. Judge Geo. Denison favored granting the franchise. Judge Terry said he was a resident of the southwestern portion of the city and believed that part ot the eit had been neglected. Property in the western end of the city had run up in value and had been given every facility. They all wanted rapid transit. Mr.” Treadway appeared with a promise to build the road at once, and if he would do so his a Sa ag would be more acceptable to the residents than Mr. Scuilin’s proposition to build within two years. N. C. Hudson favored rapid transit of some kind. He was not interested particularly in any of them, but if he had any prefer- ence it was for the roads that would first get outto Compton Hall. At pres- ent it (the Southern Cable Company) gave the best promise, and he was consequently in favor of that road. extension. He had seen the car on the Second Carondelet avenue at Griese- deck’s brewery run three times a day in order to save the charter, and he-was in favor of granting the franchise to the new cable company. Mr. Taylor, representative of the cable extension“ company, and Mr. Cornelius, 8 Mr. Scullin, clashed. Ir. Taylor said Mr. Scullin's proposition was to have the city protect him while he held possession of the tracks. Mr. Cornelius claimed that the Oable Company had failed to keep its promises and deseryed no favor from City Printing. At noon to-day City Register Tracy opened bids for public printing for the coming year. The contract was awarded some time ago at 7 cents per line, but protest was made against the award at that figure, and the Council ordered that the con- tract be readvertifed. To-day the bids submitted were as follows: Missouri Republican, 4.99-100 ots per line agate, 46 ots per page for proceedings, 60 ets per page for copies of ordinances, and 56 cents er page for copies of the proceedings of the card of Public Improvements. The bid presented by the Globe-Democrat was 4c per line agate and $1 per page for all proceedings. The bids made by the Post-DISPATCH were as follows: 6c. per line nonpareil, and 60c, per page for all proceedings. The bid of the vening Chronicle was 7c. per line, 56c. per age for proceedings, 60c. for ordinances and c. for proceedings of Board of Public Im- provements. City Register Tracy will not be able to deside whether the bid offered by the Globe-Demoo- rat or that of the Republican isthe lower. An award will not be made until late this after- ; noon. . A Good Thing in Lemonade, From the Chicago Tribune. „This is lemonade, is it not?” inquired a light-haired gentleman blandly, as he stepped up in front of a stand on the circus ground y esterday. | The proprietor! replied that it was ice-cold lemonade, and N threw in the information that the price was only 5 cents a glass. „I'll take a glass, if you please,” said the stranger and it was 8 before him. II there is anything I'm fond of,“ he continued, with much affability, ‘tit is good lemonade, and he drew a lemon from one of his pockets, cut a hole in it, and with great deliberation squeezed the juice into the glass. Then from another pocket he took a spoon and a small paper sack filled with sugar, with which he proceeded to sweeten the mix- ture. A crowd was gathering about him by this time, and the proprietor of the re- freshment stand was becoming red and very moist. ‘‘I’ll give you half a dollar to go away from here,” he said to the bland gentle- man anxiously. ‘‘My friend,’’ said the smiling customer, sipping with evident satisfaction the beverage he had mixed, eit affords me pleasure to say that this isthe best lemonade I ever drank on a sha roan here is your 5 cerits.’’ And he finished the glass, paid his money and elbowed his way out through the crowd. Half an hour later the lemonade-vendor, broken up in business and uised in a pair of green Soggles and a beard, was doing the three-card-monte actin a secluded place among the canvas wagons and looking about searchingly for a light- haired and smiling stranger. ‘ Nine Negro Chiefs in Paris.

Each of the gentlemen brings with him the eppurtenances that he will find most necessa- Prof. John G. Doughty, the photogra- pher, has provided himself with a fine instru- ment, and is ready to take all the views pre- sented inthe upper air. Prof. Doughty is the one member of the expedition that is especial- ly dependent on the favor of the ele- ents. He has made a number of 3 has frequently been denied the beaming countenance of old Sol and obliged to return to terra firma without securing a single view. His experiences in this direction have made him carefulin predicting what he will do. He will take with him a large stock of very sensitive plates, however, and if any op- rtunity offers, bring back with him every teresting view discovered in the voyage. Mr. Edward Duffy, the reporter for the trip, has been selected with a view to both brains d ballast. He is a newspaper man of several years’ experience, a vivid descriptive writer, and will only set the balloon back 110 ounds in its upward flight. He is of very small tature. He was bornin New York City and about 37 years of age. He left the city when about 7 years old and worked as a farm-hand a the interior of the State. After duating from fa life he went to tica and was private secreta to Horatio Seymour from the -spring of 1876 to the summer of 1880. In 1882 he ame the prietor of a daily paper at Cohoes. Later le Was put in charge of the editorial depart- tof the Troy Budget, and still later be- Lbadsistant to the editor-in-chief of the New York Daily News. He is now a resident of Albany, connected with the staff of the Evening Journal of that city. For a dozen years he has been a leading special corre- ndent at the capitalfor a prominent New Tork City 8 He is the treasurer of the Albany Press Club and is familiarly known to the leading politicians of the State. On Saturday * and Sunday Mr. Duffy will ae messages from above to the New York ORLD, the readers of which will bave an ac- count of the progress of the airship during the night and on Sunday. He will c a pad made up of telegraph blanks specially pre- ared for this voyage.

Ac of homing 2 to send a few messages back to this city and the means of communication with mother earth from the airy height will be complete. One of the most important objects of the trip is the scientific feature. When the WoORLD and POoOSsT-DISPATCH first de- cided to send up a monster balloon in the construction of which no expense would be spared. The Signal Service offiee was noti- fied of opportunity to make experiments in the upper regions. Through the mistake ofa clerk in the department the offer was declined. It was after this action that Prof. Hazen learned of the golden opportunity to take ob- servations of inestimable value to the depart- ment. The declination was withdrawn, and Prof. Hazen’s request for a place in the voyagers’ car was readily granted. He is very enthusiastic over the prospects of the are. riting of the trip Prof. Hazen says: Dr. Wayland, Presi- dent of Columbian Uni- versity, once said that the true test of a science was its ability to pre- dict. I wish to show that it is possible before we leave terra firma at St. Louis to determine almost exactly the path Valve Shut. of the balioon and whether its motion will be rapid orslow. I am well aware that out of the four attempts since 1859 to make exceedingly long distances in this country only one, and that the first, succeeded, and, counting from the past, there would appear to be not more than one chance in four,or perhaps even in ten, of success. I feel quite certain that the cause of the failure in the last three cases is known, and that, with the exercise of a little more care or with a little more liberty in choosing the iy oo time to make the ascent all three might have been entirely successful. Mr. Wise, in his balioon voyage of 1,200 miles on July 1, 1859, found everything favorable and made the astonishing speed of 1 mile per minute. The science of meteorology has made its greatest strides during the last de- cade through its development of the weather map or its electric hotographs of the weather conditions through this broad land, and I may say throu h the world. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, the in- formation given us by the map is of the con- dition of most of the meteoroloyical elements within about 100 feet of the ound only, and the cloud regions where most of the conditions concernedin 32 our storms exist, is al- these observa- have not been — — a little more seems v extraordinary, espe- ciall in the Vent of the at furor in Scotland over the station on Ben uses changes our storms which, it is admitted,. have their origin not far from the horizontal wane pass- ing near the summit of Mount Washin eo Instead of the vacue speculations and of the imaginary conditions that are evoked by theoriste from the cloud pe tm „ we bave in co eart station a ibility of paring the oc- — ele on the h — S ulta- * neo those almost directly overhead. nly w we have of learn- ae eee * 1 locity in of the clouds.

In our own country, ifanywhere, then, may we ex- amine the end of our vertical plummet 6,299 feet long for indications of its experiences. In order to study the winds on Mount Wash- ington I have chosen all the observations from May, 1886, and April, 1887, inclusive. I have divided these into three groups. First all the days in which there wasa well-marked low (area) within about 600 miles of the sta- tion (164 cases). Second, all days when a high (area) was near or over the station (78 cases), and third, the remaining days (128) when neither low nor high were marked or very near. Ihave taken out, in the first series, (a) the direction and distance of low from the station on each maximum velocity of and its direction, (c) the mean velocity of the wind for 1 hours, and (d) the mean velocity of the low in its path. In the other two series I have taken out only the maximum velocity of the wind and the direction at that time, with the mean velocity for twenty-four hours. The complete table, comprising the 865 days, I hope to publish elsewhere, but it will suffice at this time ifI give only the sum- mary, or means: ow. Between. i, Mean maximum velocity 6 37. 37.1 Mean velocity :.... ......-. 53 37. 21.6 Mean velocity of low....... 85.4 This table is of great interest and will repay most careful study. We find that the mean maximum wind in the low is very nearly double that in the high, and the mean of the hourly movement for each twenty-four hours is nearly 2.5 times as much in the low as in the high. Wealsofind the mean wind velocity nearly 1.5 times that of low, which rather dis- re the theo that the storm or low is orne along in the upper current. It should be understood that in the winter season the quantities dealt with above are uncertain be- cause of the intense cold and interference with the anemometer record by frost; on the other hand it is to be presumed that a little more than the total air current is deflected by the mountain and brought over its summit, which will tend and make up the loss in the first case. THE SCIENTIFIC VIEW. At first sight it will no doubt seem that the problem of a long aerial voyage from 8t.Louis and the Atiantic had been solved. In the light of this table all that is necessary is to choose a time when a storm was hovering near the starting-point, and then the wings of the wind would bear the balloon at an average rate of fifty-three miles per hour. Unfortunately an- other most important element must be con- sidered, and that is the direction of the upper current; while in nearly 90 per centof the cases in winter this direction is toward some easterly point, yet this is not the case in sum- mer. i careful study of the direction of the wind on Mount Washington in relation to the sition of the low has not as yet given any bat the most general deductions. In general the direction of the wind is the same as that of: the lower currents, either toward the low or in a direction opposite to the motion of the hands of a watch, and away from the high, or with a watch hand. When a well-marked low and high are advancing together this principle is well seen, but under other cir- — very abnormal directions are noted. Turning now to our map, let us examine what would happen if a balloon should go up at different points in the country.As noted above,a balloon sailing alon on the morning of June 18, 1886, near Moun Washington, would have D been carried nearly due east atseventy miles per hour for twenty-four hours or more, with the exception of afew hours in the afternoon, when the the motion would be retarded to perhaps fif- ty miles per hour. A otted curve has been 377" drawn around Mount ss Washington, and in alls robability a balloon at / § 000 feet high anywhere witbin this curve would be wafted toward the east or northeast. At the upper part of the dots the motion would be rather more north- easterly, while at the westside the motion J. 8. would tend a little east- Photog . southeast and be somewhat retarded. A bal - loon in Newfoundland would have a very un- certain course and velocity, but probably it would g° towards the northeast. This point would an extremely unfortunate one for either an agreeable, safe or long voyage. Of ccurse the reader will understand that b putting those ideas in such aconcrete form do not mean that the balloon should go up near Newfoundland, no one would be so in- sane as that. Iam simply taking my map and am referring to their positions with reference to the low and high. herever a well-marked low is situated east of the Rockies there the positions I designate to the northeast, south- west, etc., of the low on this map would hold equally well. A balloon at Des Moines, in the center of high, would move very slowly, per- not more than a mile or two hour, but direction would almost always be toward the east. A balloon at Leavenworth or south of the high would tend to go south or south- One at Yankton would move west northwest. WHY OTHERS FAILED. We are now 8 ee rang to examine into the causes of the failures in the three balloon N in which long lated. G st ever constructed , . ber 6, 1878, went up in the center ofa iow and was wafted nearly due northeast. A much better result would probably have ensued a certainly a week later excelientchance.

There will be no harm, however, in making a prediction, and it may help in deter- mining the time of de- parture and the hei by to be attained in or to get the best results. One remark in Mx, the principal dime lty in making a satisfactory voy often the clamor of the Fair Com- mittee or other bod who have hired the bal - loon in ordeg to draw a crowd to their exercise. Now this committee cares nothing for a weather map; perhaps its members have never seen one. All they want isacrowd. Now, it is 4 evident that no such hampering can be allowed we wish toex- plore the air. * with a ng. A O O 1 nine MAL UU A Rd od Be Let us turn to our problem. The data for the weather map will pass through St. Louis about 10 p. m., East- ern time, and will be printed b one of e St. papers. This make it possible have the picture of the conditions and positions of ‘‘high’’ and low.“ There will also be in- formation in regard to the movement of clouds, which will be important in this study. y idea is this: If on June 10 clouds are moving to the north of lines drawn from Salt Lake City and Quebec through St. Louis, and the lower wind blowsin the same direction; or if, with a clear sky ,small balloons show the same motions, then I would not leave the earth. If either of these currents is favor- ing, all we have todo is to get into it and sail on. If we are m the centre of a high“ wecan do one of three things. I presume I need not specify which I would prefer. We may wait a day or two, and go up and stay afloat as long as possible, say forty- eight hours, in order to test the tightness of our beast of burden, or, finally, we can take a %& or % charge of gas and ascend asrapidly as pos- sible to, say, 30,000 feet, or till one of the men cries hold. Then we can come down, leave the reporter and photo- grapher, and make an- other trial to seek ont the mysteries of the ocean above us. On the second landing we would go back to St. Louis, and the next fa- voring day make a voy- age, let us hope second to none or but one at least. If it should so happen that St. Louis is within the charmed circle on this map, we would be safe in telegraphing East: “Look for us to-morrow night The worst points to go up, in their order, would be first to south- west and west of high; second, in the center of ‘‘low;’’ third, in the center of ‘‘hign.’’ The best situation would be about half-way between a well-developed low“ and bon. ag * the first almost due east from St. Louis, andthe other due west from there. OBSERVATIONS TO BE MADE. A word or two about the observations to be made. These will be rather simple. It is sur- prising, when one thinks with how littie exer- tion and apparatus most valuable observations can be made, that so little has been done in this line. No one lives that cannot read a thermometer, anda very little practice will give the mastery over an aneroid. When ascending or ee ap, continuous and id observations will e made of he sling psychrometer and aneroid ba- rometer. A representation of these instruments is here given. The sling psychrom- eter consists of two delicate thermometers joined together on a brass strip, and whirled rapidly, in a circle, 4 means of a string at- tached to the strip. This accomplishes a great variety of objects and is by all odds the most valuable and accurate instrument we now have for obtaining the temperature and hu- midity of the air. Heating the dry bulb to 10 degrees above the air temperature and then slinging it thirty seconds brings the tempera- ture of the instrument within 5 degrees of the alr and iy forty-five seconds it indicates the true temperature. It will be seen that with this instrument we ought to get a result within a degree in an ascent or descent of ten feet per second. The aneroid barometer must be read at every observation and this, taken in con- nection with the air temperature at the bal - loon and on the ground, will give us the height. The Chief Signal Officer has kindly consented to have hourly observations made at the Signal Service Station during the en- tinuance of the voyage,and these observations alone will prove of great value. QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED. One of the most important investigations to be made is in relation tothe ascending or de- scending currents ofair. In 1881 there was de- vised what has been called ‘‘the balance fan’’ for this purpose. It consists in a fan balanced horizontally. downward motion of the ash so i oe | 2 ee “Tree epee ge ee enn rere Rr e e * 5 r — * * i ed Oe ee BALD L5O5s sd 5 pata gh, 5 ng bh santa N ade * * le INA 1 7 tan when the balloon had no up-and-down mo- tion would indicate a descending current, and an upward motion of the fan would show the reverse.

How to Help Your Digestion. Almost every day we feel the unpleasant sensations of indigestion. Try Allcock's Por- ous Plasters and be relieved. J. F. Dayen- port of Canarsie, New York, writes: I have been very much troubled with a vio- lent pain below my chest bone. I was told by several physicians that it was rheumatism of the diaphragm. It resulted from cold and ex- posure. I had very little appetite and dl- gested my food with great difficulty. I placed one ALLOOCK’sS PoROUS PLASTER below tne breast-bone and two on each side. In the course of twenty-four hours all pain ceased, and I was able to eat and digest a good square meal, something I had not done before in two weeks. I got better constantly and at the end of seven days found myself entirely well. Since then I have used ALLCOCK’s POROUS PLASTERS for colds, coughs and pains in my side and I have always found them quick and effective. . ABE BUZZARD. The Leader of the Welsh Mountain Out- laws to Be Pardoned. Bv Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. LANCASTER, Pa., June 7.—Abe Buzzard, the oldest of the Buzzard boys, and leader of the once-famous gang of outlaws known as the ‘*Bugzard gang, who made their headquart- ers in the Welsh Mountains, is now languish- ing in the Eastern Penitentiary at Philadel- phia, but he willin all probability soon be a free man, for he is serving out a sentence im- posed for a crime of which he is undoubtedly innocent, and steps are being taken to se- cure a pardon for him. Abe was convicted April 18, 1881, of burglary and felonious entry in robbing the store of G. W. Steinmetz in Clay, and of entering the blacksmith-shop of isaac Brewer near by and securing the im- lements with which to break into the store. e had been previously convicted of robbing Geiger’s store at Quarryville, and on April 20, 881, he was sentenced to an imprisonment of tnirteen years, seven years for the Steinmetz burglary, four for the Geiger burglary, and two — for entering Brewer’s shop. Abe frankly confessed his guilt of the Geiger rob- bery and expressed his willingness to undergo the imprisonment imposed for it, but he disclaimed all knowled of the Clay robbery. When trie for the Clay crime the only witness who knew any- thing about the perpetrators of it was Mary Goodendorf, in whose house some of the stolen oods were found. She testified that Abe rought the goods identified by Steinmetz to her house, and said he had bought them. On the un suvported testimony of a woman al- ready convicted of receiving stolen goods, Abe was convicted and sentenced to the imprisonment, which he is now serving. he term for the Geiger sentence having ex- pired, Mrs. Goodendorf served her term for re- ceiving stolen ds and died June A, 1884. Just before her death she sent for W. B. Amawake, who had been Buzzard’s counsel. She told him thatshe desired to righta great wron and confessed that she had perjured herse in her testimony against Buzzard. Thécrime was committed by another man, but she did not reveal his identity. Mr. Amawake haus made affidavit of these facts and the evidence will be laid before the Board ot Par- dons. Buzzard made several escapes while confined in Lancaster’s rotten jall and after his last escape went to the Welsh Mountains, where he had such secure hiding places that he defied all efforts to capture him for more than a year, but at lenuth he grew tired of leading this life, and being assured by promi- nent men of that section of the country that efforts would be made to secure his pardon he walked up to the coun jail on June 3, 1885, and surrendered. Shortly afterward he was lodged in the Eastern Penitentiary. Globe Furnishing Department.

John Machoser of 121s Walnut street had his ' 1 | value, as it would be only four or five feet away from the center of the balioon, while the gus- Dag projects 30 or 40 feet beyond. I have prepared as perfect asoap-bubble mixture as is attainable, I think, and with this I hope we may get the ascending and descending motion with extreme nicety. One of the more important objects of inves- tigation is the direction the balloon is taking. When the earth is visibie this is a very simple matter; we have only to determine the direc- tion by, coimparing the compass-needle with objects on the earth, but when above the clouds it is Said all aero- nauts that it is impossble to tell the direction. Several experiments will be tried; if we throw over rather heavy objects they will at firat take the motion of the balloon, but after a lit- tle it would seem that there would bea lag- ging in the object and our direction away from the object would give the true course. Ifa very light object floats away from the bailoon | it would seem that its direction would be that of the balloon, as its mass is extremely slight when compared with that of the latter. — ͤ—— — =~ COMING TO Sr. LOUIS, The Crew ef the Big Balloon on the Way to the City.

Mason said last ight: ‘‘They wanted a little fun and did it for mischief, but it helps to prove that I called the ht man the prince of hell. It is all his work. God has told me Leach must die. I don’t know how, but he must die. Switzer said: The members of our two fam- guilty perso shall let God make us mad. my coat. an you put the tent up again?’’ he was Tes, he said, as soon as we can straighten someirons in the structure that were bent.’’ Mason here interrupted: ‘‘I suppose they were mad because I was not in the tent and thought m4 mustdo something, but I was not in Park Ridge last night. The tent had been cut from the poles and rails by which it was held, and Switzer had carried into the house the part of the tent left, the organ and the pulpit from which Leach dragged Mason by his beard on Thurs- day night. Switzer and Mason say that every- thing shall be restored as it was, except on a more limited scale, till God shall send them some canvas to take the place of what was burned. It was planned by some of the residents to have Switzer arrested yesterday and put under bonds to keep the peace till the September term of court, but nobody would sign the complaint. The prob- ability is that such action will be taken this week. Property-h Iders seem to have a fear of harm to themselves or the premises, if they cause Switzer’s arrest. Mr. Leach says the destruction of the tent was ‘‘a bungling job.’’ Congratulations for the Police. The police show a decidedly improved ap- pearance since obtaining their new regulation helmets, which are models of comfort and grace. The color, a nutria mix, is especially adapted to summer ear, and the element variety is catered to in the bright silk cord with the acorns appended, which takes the place of the leather band heretofore used. The popular headgear dispensers, Famous, Broadway and Morgan, furnished the hel- mets for the entire force, having been awarded the contract over all competi- tors, and each party is to be con- gratulated, as no house could have suited the men so well, and no men could have shown the hats off to such advantage as those composing the St. Louis police force. TELEGRAPHIC BKEVITIES. Secretary Fairchild says he has no policy to announce regarding the surplus. Yellow fever is spreading at Key Weat in spite of the most strenuous efforts of thé health authorities. All efforts to close the dike have been unsuccess hourly increasing.

Corcoran, the aged philanthropist of Wasbington, was stricken with paralysis in the let leg and arm yesterday evening while at table. His mind was not uffected. Over 6,000 people listened to the Rev. Sam Jones’ address upon the proposed Constitu- tional amendment regulating the temperance — delivered at Nashville, Tenn., last night. About two miles west of Corydon, Ind., at 12 o’clock Sunday night a body of masked men known as tne regulators took a youn married man named Glinn from his bed an severely flogged him for an attempted rapes upon a young girl of the neighborhood. John H. Fields, a highly respectable man living near Flemingsburg, Ky., ina fitof in- sanity Sunday afternoon shot and killed his two sons, Lewis B. and Wm. E. Fields, and their mother. After being arrested his cuptors released his hands at his request, when he grabbed a knife lying upon a table close by him and cut his own throat. Near Huron, Dak., yesterday Simon S. Neil- son deliberately shot and killed two men named J. A. Kelsey and Corwin Shaw, and two women, Mrs. Flora E. Shaw and her sis- ter-in-law, Miss Alice Lyman, and then killed himself.

The Choc- taw, Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Seminole, Kiowa, Wichita, Comanche, Waco, Oaddo, Deleware, Keech, Shawnee and lone nations were represented by their respective dele- gates. Business of vital importance to the several nations will come before the council. A man named Kerns bas informed upon his co-conspirators, ard established the fact. that the men who assaulted and beat Mr. Boiguld master mechanic of the St. Louis, Arkansas Texas Railway at Pine Bluff, Ark., last February, were Jeff Holmes, Sam Addis, Gabe AD erson and himself. These parties have all been arrested and are in jail at Pine Bluff. A fanatic named Frederick Herman, living at Pittsburg, Pa., returned home about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon and upon learn- ing from his wife that she had, without his knowledge or consent, had their youngest child Lizzie, aged 19 months, baptized in the Catbolic faith, immediately attacked her, and tried to kill her by beating her over the head witha brick. He then proceeded to the room where the little innocent lay quietly sleeping, and cut ite throat from ear to ear, after which he served himself in thesame way. He alleges as an additional reason for his crime that his wife had been unfaithful to him.

It is to be hoped that the controversy will be decided on its legal merits and that the city’s charter may be successfully interposed to give the city control of the streets as against the rail- road charter. 1 _— —— _” = We are getting some curious revela- tions of the prevalent ideas of courtesy among the rabid politicians who are try- ing to run the approaching Grand Army reunion. Gen. Lvcivus Famonnp is now being quoted all over the United States in the interview in which he said that he boped the people of St. Louis would re- serve all their accommodations for the Grand Army and not seek to attract a > great additional crowd. As Gen. Falir- CHILD is to be himself the guest of the city his unmannerly attempt to dictate who shall be permitted to visit the city reaches the high-water mark of bad breeding. _ _. Tus Supreme Court keeps on widening the field of interstate commerce legisla- tion by decisions knocking out State laws in which there is the slightest trace of discrimination against interstate com- merce. Following the decision against the Pennsylvania statute taxing thegross receipts of a steamboat company en- gaged in such commerce, came the decision that the Indiana statute regulat- ing the telegraph and telephone business is to some extent an impediment to inter- state commorce, and to that extent un- constitutional. Such decisions mean that the interstate commerce law is but the beginning of an extensive code by which | Congress will have to provide a proper regulation of all the public means of com- munication between the States.

Although he was stormed at and denounced by those who had failed to use him for their purposes, it is safe to say that they honor and respect his courage and firmness and think a great deal more of him than they would if he had knuckled down to them. His conduct is in striking contrast with the flabby pusillanimity of the St. Louis Committee of the Grand Army, who backed down from their position at the first word of Iowa bulldozing, and who placed St. Louis in the humiliating posi- tion of having a courtesy to the President repudiated by men who ought to have stood up for St. Louis. 6 — — METROPOLITAN PRESS. Whatthe Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New Ton, June 7.—The WORLD says: ‘It is the Republican policy,’ grandiloquently says John Sherman, ‘to seek outlets forthe surplus of our manufacturers among the republics and federations of the continent.’ That it seeks in vain is shown by the fact that the percentage of manufacturers to total exports is less than in many years of low tariffs. increasing the cost of raw materials and machinery under pro- longed war taxes, Mr. Sherman’s party has kept our manufactures so costly that they can- notbe soldin competition with nations that are not thus handicapped. It has effectually stopped ‘the outlet,’ which manufacturers would find for themselves if givena reasona- ble freedom. THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘The course taken by the Chicago & Grand Trunk Railroad Oompany in issuing mileage tickets to commercial trav- elers at a lower rate than to the general public was a very proper one for the — ose of test - ing its own construction of the law for the regulation of interstate commerce. The charging of more or less to one person than another for a ‘like’ service under ‘substan- tially similar circumstances and conditions,’ is declared to be unjust discrimination, and is prohibited. But this company maintains that as commercial agents doa great deal of travel- ing, riding short distances and stopping at many stations and ergate a great deal of freight traffic, and as thé company is relieved of some of its responsibility in selling tickets to them at reduced rates, the circumstances and conditions are such that the probibition does notapply. This answer to the complaint of arival company presents a clear issue for the commission to decide, and this is the most reasonable way of bringing these questions to an issue. THE SUN. The Sun says: There has never been an question that President Cleveland understands Gov. Hill or that Gov. Hill understands Presi- dent Oleveland. They are not exactly making common cause politically, for the Governor’s cause is Democratic, and the Governor’s un- derstanding of what constitutes Democracy differs in several important particulars from the President's. They have not quarrelied — there is no reason why they should quar- ren.’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘The Administration has bern stow in showing the ordinary marks of respect to ex-Vice-President Wheeler. Mr. Wheeler died at 10 o’clock Saturday morning, but not a single flag was 2 in his honor in Washington on that day. esterday, Secretary Bayard, by direction of the Prest- dent, ordered the flags on the public buildings to be put at half - mast to-day when the funeral will be held. This treatment of an honored statesman is a striking contrast with that accorded to the notorious ‘Jake’ Thompson.’’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Women in Holland. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: ThoughIcan scarcely admit there are peo- ple who believe in the correspondence of the Milwaukee Sentinel in yesterday’s St. Louis PoSsT-DISPATCH about singular discourtesy of the average Hollander to the — sex, I feel obliged, as a pure Hollander (and as I hope of the average kind), to state that this article, from beginning to end, is misleading. For thé very English expression- ‘‘Place aux dames,’’ we in our country say, ‘‘Honneur oux dames, and act upon this in every way. The ladies of Holland are 1 to blame for much that is rude and uncouth in gentlemen’s behavior; they regard a man as something terrible, and act as if believing that the masculinc community go about like roar- ing lions. They seem afraid to look a man in the face, or they might observe by the ear ex- tension that not all the stronger sex are car- nivorous.’’ This really is a very good joke, and I think that after my return to our ‘‘uncivilized’’ Holland, my friends of both sexes politely called ‘‘bipeds’’ will laugh heartily about it. My honorable, fashionable, elder country- men, who are accustomed meet their friends in the clubs before dinner, no doubt will also amuse themselves, when seeing themselves called raw youths of an exceed- ingly non-hirsute appearance. olland ladies never drink chocolate before dinner, and the single lady who drops into a confectioner’s to eat ‘‘taatjes’’ (read taartjes) never wants to make a retreat on finding the place occupied by oneor more ofthe masculine ersuasion, we preferring a real Holla id gin efore our meals. Wherever there are leaves of music to turn or chairs to hand we are ready,and one glance of a Holland’s fair one’s eyes is sufficient to makea dozenof Hollanders rise from their seats. As at the end of the article mentioned we read: ‘‘Conversing with several ladies and gentle- men at an evening party, aad wishing to use a book lying on the piano inthe back parlor, I ge requested a young gentieman to bring t. The look of absolute bewilderment that appeared on his physiognomy showed me that in some unknown manner I had committed an offense. He did bring it, but K informed me that sucha reqnest had never been made by a Holland lady. must believe that the writer of that article ‘has never visited Holland, or must have fre- quented very strange or er and at any rate never was entertained in a Utrecht nople- man’s family. I think ita bad thing to tell stories about the customs in foreign countries, and when returned to my (i dare say civil- ized) Holland, I never shall try to give m friends a wrong idea of the very good things found in this country.

Ceremony and Reodption—Tollettes ana | Floral Deceorations—Chat Gathered in Soe- ciety Circles To-Day—Where People Are and What They Are Doing-Notes and At 8 o’ clock this afternoon Miss Marie Rubie Turnbull, only daughter of Mrs. R. K. Walker, was married to Dr. W. Keating Bauduy, old- est son of Dr. J. K. Bauduy, the surgeon. The ceremony was celebrated by the Rev. Father Powers of the Church of the Immaculate Con- ception, in the presence only of the immediate families of the bride and groom, assembled at the residence of Judge Leroy B. Valliant, 2817 Olive street. Immediately after the ceremony they repaited to the assembly- room of Hotel, Beers which Stewart had transformed into a veritable bower. The entire length of the room was banked with tall plants and the windows were filled with jardinieres of palms and ferns. At intervals down the hall were placed groups of flowers, a number of beautiful designs being placed in front of the large mirrors on either side, and upon small tables scattered through the room. In the tower the musicians were placed and screened from view by a group of tropical plants. On the right, near the bride, was a beautifully ornamented bride’s cake, which, out by her, was dispensed to all the guests. Silver bowls of lemonade and punch were conveniently placed for their enjoyment, while refreshments, ices and cakes. were continually passed by the waiters. At the upper end of the hall was a semi-circle of plants, reaching out from a large mirror, in front of whicb stood the beautiful bride and the groom, surrounded by her maids of honor, ten young girls dressed precisely alike, in full white tarietan skirts, with bodice of pale blue aille, dee pointed, cut en V., back and front, and sleeveless with long gloves tied above the elbows. In their hands they carried large bunches of white carnations tied with long, blue gros rain ribbons. The young ladies were Misses jessie and Lalitte Bauduy, Julia Carroll, Mimi Flanagan, Mamie Eaton, Bettie Moore, Aline Kennerly, Josie Thatcher, Oeleste Pim and Lulu Mason. The bride wore a beautiful gown of milk white faille with long princess train finished with a heavy cord around the bottom; draperies across the front looped high at the side. The corsage was cut in deep — back and front and filled with tulle, drawn close about the throat under a white ribbon. There were no sleeves, and the long white loyes were tied above the elbow with rib- ons. In her hand she carried a large bunch ot white roses tied with white ribbons. Over all the bridal veil of tulle fell like a mist to the hem of her gown. Mrs. Walker, supported by Judge Valliant and assisted by Dr. and Mrs. Bauduy,réceived the guests. Mrs. Walker wore black satin duchess, veiled with exquisite flounces of black chantilly lace, the corsage cut in deep points and the shoulders and arms covered with the lace; her beautiful white hair worn high, with a black algrette. Mrs. Bauduy wore a very handsome Worth gown of satin with draperies of fine black thread lace, the corsage cut square and Veiled witu lace. Throughout the appointed hour the salon was thronged with guests elegantly attired. The young pair received a great many elegant presents which were not displayed, hey will leave to-night for the East to visit Dr. Bauduy’s relatives at Philadelphia. They will be absent forafortnight. When they return they will be located forthe present with his father’s family, 2808 Olive street. SOCIBTY CHAT. Mrs. O. O.

MAXON’S SUCCESSOR, Capt. McCulloch to Manage the Lindell Road—Testing the Motor. John H. Maxon retired from the management of the Lindell Railway last night, when the Board of Directors elected Oapt. Robert Mo- Cullooh his guccéssor. Before retiring, how- ever, Mr. Maxon gave the new digectors of the road an illustration of the working of the electrie motor. A number of gentlemen in- terested in the road or in the motor had been invited to make the trip, and they met at the stable On Washington avenue just before 8 o’clock. Among them were the directors of the toad, Hugh McKittrick, Robert Mo- 2 J. H. Lightner, Jno. M. Gilkeson and iphron Catlin, Col. Henry Flad, Edw. Flad, W. L. B. G. Allen of the Brash Electrio Light Company, John P. Keiser, George Bain anda representative of the Post-DIsPATOH. When the party arrived atthe stable the eight storage batteries were being charged from the dynamo across the street. Atso’clock the current was cutoff and the batteries placed in positio#® in the car. The electric lam at either end of the car were turned on and the car run out of the shed. It was started up Washington avenue and made the trip out to Grand avenue without incident or accident. Chas. Parsons, Gen. Turner and D. F. Dyer were picked up along the route, The grade end curve on Lucas, below Grand avenue, the worst on the line, were taken with only three- fourths of the force of the current at work with a total of twenty-six passengers on board. On Grand avenue the action was re- versed, to show howeasily the car could be run backward. The return trip to the stable was made in good time, the curves being taken smoothly and easily. The party were so well pleased t the trip was continued to Third street, MAXON’S BUCOBSSOR. On the return of the car to the stable the new directors held a meeting for the purpose of organization. Oapt. rt MeCullioch was elected President and General Manager to suo ceed John H. Maxon, and Judge Lightner was re-elected to the position of Vice-President, Capt.

The veto was sustained by a vote of 4 to 8, Messrs. Tefft, Cunningham, Bird and Mengus voting for, and Messrs. Russell, Egan and Strecker, agalust it. The vote on the veto was every where commented on last evening and this morning.The fact that Mayor Stephens was upheld by the votes of the aldermen in oppo- sition tothe adminfStration was thought by many to be the beginning of a permanent split. There is, however, no good grounds for such an N At the next meeting an ordinance will be introduced providing for the inspection at a tariff o 10 cents a barrel, This ordinanve wiil undoubtedly be approved and the Inspector wiil then be appointed. The appointee, it can safely be predicted, will come from the First Ward. ‘*Nataz’’ Banderdistel and Pat Graham, who are charged with having shot William Wolfmeyer, and the accessories Ig natius Banderdistel, Jr., Thomas Eustis and Ed Brennan, were taken before Squire Long late yesterday afternoon, and on the testimony of Dr. elhelmj that Wolt- meyer’s condition was dangerous, their ex- amination was postponed until the 10th, and they were remanded to jail without bond.

A Terrible Example That Appeared Before Judge Cady This Morning. The worst-looking head that has ever been in the Police Court was that brought before Judge Oady this morning by George Rehm, porter of the saloon at No. 212 Poplar street. He ana Harry Ide, barkeeper of the place, were up On counter charges of disturbing the peace. Rehm’s face was swollen and dis- colored so greatly that it looked like that of a floater that had bean in the water about a month. He is age, While Ide is quite a young man. Id appears that Rehm ot drunk last nig tand Ide put him outof the saloon. When the porter attempted to come back, the fresh N bar-keeper picked up a club and hammered him over the face and head with it until he had beaten him almost into a 1 Although most — ae none of the injuries were dangerous.

ONSIDERING the very temptation to be had in the betting stand proved too strong for about four hundred or five hundred gentlemen whose money rested uneasily in their = pockets and although the grand stand was not as well filled as it was Saturday, the bookmakers did not suffer a jot from the rain. The latter had the effect of softening up the track and of preparing it for to-day and to-morrow, and it the rain does not interfere again the bang tails will have splendid footing for the rest of the meeting. As yet the edge only has been taken off the meeting, and the beat of the sport is yet to come. In addition to the Wainwright stake to be run to-morrow, there will be two stake races and a steeplechase on Thursday’s card— the Manufacturers’ stake, in which some fast horses are entered, and the Merchants“ Eclipse stakes in which are representatives of some of the best stables on the turf, On Thursday the day will end with a big hand! cap hurdle over the the full steeplechase course. On Friday, the sixth day, there will be five events on the card, inclustve of the Charles Green stake, $1,500 added by President Green, and on Saturday the week will close with an unusually attractive programme, which will include the St. Louis Fair Stallion stakes, $1,500 added, and a steeplechase for a pursé of $400. On Monday of next week, the eighth day of the meeting the Bankers’ and Brokers’ stakes will be run and also the St. Louis Sweepstakes, $600 added, for 2- ear-olds owned by gentlemen ibe y in St. uls. This race will have peculiar interest for local people. On Tuesday, the last day but one of the meeting, the great St. Louis Brewers’ Cup, $1,200 will be run. Nearly all the fast horses attending the meeting are en- tered in the cup, which is regarded as one of the most interesting events to be decided dur- ing the whole meeting. he meeting will close Wednesday, June 15 with one ofthe best programmes witnessed for the ten days. On that day the Adolphus Busch stakes will be run, and also the Granite Mountain Mining Company's stakes, $1,000 added. A steeplechase will wind up the pro- gramme for the last day. Gold Flea Wins.

A Horse-Owner’s Estimate of the Expenses of Running a Stable. „A great many people have an idea that a turrman’s lite is an easy, careless sort of an affair,’’ said Mr. N. 1. Douglas, the turfman, to-day. ‘‘Well, this is not exactly the case. Quite the contrary. The expense which the owner of a moderately sized stable is under is something big, and the average outsider would hardly believe you if you were to teil him how much it costs.

The racing at the Fair Grounds track yester- day was all good sport and though the audience Was a trifie light on account of the rain the betting was brisk and the speculating stand was closely crowded during the whoie after- noon.

It was won easily by Jacobin, with Baldwin’s sak Ford second and Swigert’s Procrastinator without winnie in such cases is Track Talk. There was an intense sensation in the bet- ting stand yesterday shortly before the last bell tapped for the heat race. Many of the betters eagerly took advantage of the big odds offered on Derby.

The a to tell Whether a horse that Wins one heat will have the stay in him to come back in the second trial is worth just so much money to the betting man. If it is prop- erly pares there is more be made out of one heat race than out of others, so far as asure thing one way or the other is con- cerned.’’ "2 In securing Sheridan for a starter the St. Louis meeting has been singularly fortunate.

Judge Seddon to-day rendered a decision in thé divorce case of Eva Clow against Herman Clow. The Court dismisses the bill and thus sums up the case: “The parties had lived to- gether for nearly ten years in harmony. The husband was stern and in the habit of requiring implicit obedience from his wife, and the members of the family, for whom he provided well. The wife's father when he was sick gave her $75 to buy a watch as a keepsake. It was for- bidden by the husband on the ground that he was a mechanic and such a bauble was not ap- propriate to their station in life. The wife, however, disobeyed the husband and bought the watch, although her husband told her that there never could be peace in the family until it should be destroyed. This watch proved a regular Pandora’s box and the direful spring of woes unnumbered, mainly imaginary and unnecessary.

By Telegraph to the Post-Disratca. ConcorD, N. H., June 7.—The attitude of Gen. Marston in the senatorial contest is con- sidered of more importance now than it was a few days ago. If the reports of his hard work and sudden increase of strength are true, he may prove a more powerful opponent to Chandler than Rollins. It now leaks out that a factor to Gen. Marston’s strength, will be the labor elemént if it can be brought into line. His friends have been laboring quietly in this direction, and he is probably the only candidate now inthe field who can marshal them. Gen. Marston’s record in the Legislature and his views on the labor question are favor- ably received by them. If they nclude to attend the caucus Thursday nifmt and be bound by its results, there is little chance of there being much of a bolt. There is a con- siderable number of Democratic Knights of Labor, and if they unite withthe Republican labor men, the whole Senatorial fight will put on an entirely new complexion. he Ohand- ler men are a little disturbed atthe changes that have taken —— recentiy. The possibil- — of the city labor men uniting, irrespective party, isanew problem. Just how Chand- — can convince them that he is a good labor man is a hard thing to discover. This, with Gen. Marston's recent prominence and the per- plexing long-term question coupled with mur- murs of an unseen power itn the shape of the Boston & Maine Railroad influence, added to the running fire Rollins has kept up from the first makes the path to the senatorial chair for Chandler difficult to follow. The Democrats have not yet organized for the file in any par- ticular direction. They are interested specta- tors of the internal feuds which are splitting the Republican ranks, and are waiting to see how things come out. If they are given a chance to combine with either of the factions to defeat Chandler they will do so, preferring almost anybody to ‘‘Tallapoosa Bill, ’* as he is calied.

This ourt will not sit for the purpose of effectuating any such agreement. It is forbidden by the law. Judgment Against Bowman. Judge Lubke to-day overruled the excep- tions to the referee’s report in tht case of Wm. Ellison & Co. of the Phenix Iron Works against Frank J. Bowman. Judgment is rendered against Bowman for $708.18 for tools and mac'\inéry supplied to the firm of B. F. Craig & Co., of which Bowman Was a partner. He endeavored to escape lia- bility as such 8 but the referee ruled against him. Jud e Lubke sustained the ret- eree and says: he report and finding ofa referee u — * — of fact in actions at law are like the verdict of a jury and cannot be set aside by the Court if there is substantial evi dence supporting the findings. In this case there was substantial evidence tos upport the conclusions of fact and the referee's conelu- sions of law are correct. Trusted to Another's Statement. Judge Dilion to-day rendered a decision in the case of Chas. F. Joy, assignee of the St. Louis Brick Company, against Peter P. Man- ion. The action was on account of subscrip- tion to the capital stock of the company, and the defense was that by the agreement be- tween the promoters of the company and Mr. Manion he was not to become a stockholder unless the company bought machinery of him in excess of the amount of his subscription, and that when the articles were signed he did not read them, but was as- sured that they contained the don dition mentioned. The Court says: It is wellthat men should understood that they cannot sign a formal and public document of this kind on the strength of somebody’s statement as to what it contains, and then if such statement turns out to be untrue escape liability on the ground that they — 9 2 to the contents of the er when * signed it.“ Judgment is atered 1 r. Manion for $1,328.10. An Expulsion Sustained, Judge Dillon to-day rendered a decision against the widow in the suit of Catherine Mul- roy against the Supreme Lodge of the Knights of Honor. Her husband died in December,1885, and the records of Benton Lodge showed that he was a member of the order, but was formal- ly expelled on the 10th of November, 1884, after a trial on charges preferred. The court holds that there is no question as to the power of the lodge to expel a member in accordance with the provisions of the constitution, such members being subject to the laws and con- stitution of the organization. The deceased took no steps to appeal the case, and paid no assessments afterexpuision. His widow is not entitled to insurance benefits. The Gorfinkle Divoree. Judge Dillon to-day rendered a decision in the case of Hannah Gorfinkle against Louis Levy, elias Laebel Gorfinkle. The Court finds nothing in the evidence that establishes any divorce that can be recognized by the courts of this State. Mrs. Gorfinkle emphati- cally denied that she ever accepted a divorce or ever knew anything of a divorce proceeding. There was notbing shown as to the hature of the tribunal whose records were roduced to prove the acceptance of the ivorce. The defendant is ordered to pay the plaintiff at once $500 for counsel and livin expenses, clothing, etc., and $85 every mont pending the Htigation. This was thé case in which a divoree by a rabbi in Europe was set up as a defense. The Ellis Habeas Corpus Case. Judge Seddon to-day decided the Ellis habeas corpus case, remanding the little girl, Amelia Mayer Ellis, to the custody and control] of her grandfather, Moritg Mayer. The proceeding was instituted by the father, Joseph Ellis, who had signed a deed of adoption to the grandfather after the death of the mother. He alleged that he was ignorant and unable to read or write English, and that he was induced to sign the deed by misrepresen- tations. The Court holds that he understood the effect of his acts. He asked his father - in- law whether he would object to his visitin the child, and he was told that he coul do 80 at all reasonable hours. The evi- dende showed that he wisheéd to secure a comfortable home for the child, that he was himself unsettled in his mode of life and was willing that the father-in-law should have the ehild. The father has not been permitted to see thechild, however, and the Court brands this conduct as an outrage upon his feelings. But the interests of the child are best served in this case by allowing her to remain with the grandparents. A Wife’s Cross-Bill. . Margaretha Bachler entered to-day a cross- bill to the divorce petition of August E. Bach- ler.

Efforts to Secure Blaine’s Attendance at the O’Briéh Dinner. Pv Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New York, June 7.—It seems as it the visit of Editor William O’Brien to this city was fated to bear an unusually ample crop of threatened embroilments. His withdrawal from participating in the parade Saturday has ever since caused his friends to hold up their hands in thankfulness, because they allege that for him to have taken part in it would have brought disaster to the Irish cause. hight witnessed another narrow —if indeed it should turn out to an escape—of another distinguished gentle- man from receiving a setback to what is pub- licly believed to be the ambition of his heart, ali on account of Mr. O’Brien. Mr. James G. Blaine, as the city knows, is at present stopping here awaiting the sailing to-morrow morning of the steamship that is to carry him to Europe. Yesterday, the joint committee of the Irish societies that has had in charge the arrangements forthe dinner to be given to Mr. O’Brien this 5 conceived the idea that it would be a capital thing to have Mr. Blaine presént at the banquet.. He was known to have on a good many occa- sions expressed his 1 with the Irish cause in general, and to-night’s dinner, it was thought, would "receive eclat from his res- ence, besides giving him an opportunity of putting on record once more his condemnation of English misrule in Ireland. Whether the committee had forgotten about or did not choose to consider the recent events that would make the receipt of such an invitation a serious embarrassment to Mr. Blaine is not certain. At any rate, about 5 o’eloce yester- day afternoon these gentlemen, oomprising the full committee, Wended their way to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where Ar. Blaine is stopping: Judge Brown the City Court, James A. O’Gorman, Miles M. O’Brien, John R. Delaney, Commissioner Coleman, John Macklin, J. P. Lynch, L. J. Calianan and Bryan G. Mosweeney. They were accompanied by Col. Wm. R. Brown, through whom they were to be introduced to Mr. Blaine. Their cards were sent to Mr. Blaine’s room, but the answer came back that he was not in, A note was then left for him 8 him of the committee’s desire that he should attend the dinner, and stat- ing that the committee would return later in the evenin and receive an answer. A sub-committee did gall, two hours later and again the word camé back that Mr. Blame was not in. They were re- ceived by his son, however. Just what ha pened at that interview the committee did not seem desirous of disclosing. . dome of them asserted their ignorance of any such second visit. At any rate, there is a unanimity of sentiment among the members in favor of making no further effort to secure Mr. Blaine's attendance at the dinner.

FAUNTLEROY EXPLAINS. He Corrects the Impression That the Supreme. * Court Considers a Case’s Merits. Mr. P. W. Fauntleroy, attorney for the con- demned prisoner Maxwell, in an interview with a Post-DIsPATCH reporter to-day, said the following regarding the publication in Saturday’sissueof an interview with him re- garding the probabie action of the Supreme Court: In your issue of June 4, in an interview with me concerning the „Maxwell“ case, one of your reporters attributes to me an expression which does me and my client’s case great in- tribute and perchar e injury. The remark at buted to.me is in substance that I said the reme Court might waive the errors and m the judgment upon the merits of the Now, toone whois not familiar with the pra ctice and proceedings of an appellate 125 reviewing a criminal case upon ap- peal, under our system, there may not appear anything remarkable in the statement imputed to me, but in view of the fact chee under our system of practice the Appellate Court has nothing to do with the **merits’’ of the case, outside of any errors committed inthe trial court, and that they are Only called upon to pass upon such errors and determine whether or not substantial errors were committed in the lower court, and in view of the fact that the general rule is that upon appealinacriminalcase the verdict of the jury precludes all review of the case upon ite merits by the Appellate Court, it would pass the comprehension of any lawyer or other person couversant with legal proceed- ings that I should make a statement such as was attributed to me. There seems to be a very general misapprehension in the mind of the public on this subject. The public seems to think it a great wrong and hardship for an appellate court to reverse a case upon errors committed against the accused where they think the accused guilty, but the public would not feel that wa they only were in- formed of the fact that the Appellate Court under the law declines and refuses to try a dase upon what the public is pleased to call ‘‘the merits.’’ In other words, “Sears no errors were committed against accused in the lower court then the verdict and finding of the trial jury must stand whether it meets with the approv- al of the Appellate Court or not. _**Therefore, in the case under discussion the Uant has not asked any relief at the hands of tie 4 deaif the x Oourt upon what the public the merits of the case, nor is that thi shape e er- „„. discus- rom the ise of are ere was not, and could not be, an pion of the merits of the case (apart either by counsel for the — complained of) or 1 4 — or the appellant in the Cott * 733 is asking of the Supreme that it will see that he is granted a bet impartial tr conducted accord- 0 po 9 those who are he case’ may feel in court and are we 1 content to await the — of that Court.’ 55c, $1, $1.50 and $2.50 Buys 100 different styles of children’s sults; er elsewhere at double the money.

BALTIMORE, June 7.~It was generally Known that Cardinal Gibbons would reach Baltimore this afternoon, and long be- fore the time of the arrival of the train the streets leading to Union station were thronged with people wending their way thither. The most extensive arrangements had been per- fected to e him a reception worthy the igh office he fills. The Cardinal was received by Mayor Hodges, the members of the Oity Coun eil, Jadgss of the Courts and Police Com- missioners, who took the right of the line. On the part of the Catholic societies, the Cardinal was received by COhariles A. Bonaparte, the trustee of the Cathedral, and a committee of the gy 4 who took their positions in the line in the rear of thecivic officials. As the head of the line moves, the societies forming the several divisions’ fell in to make up the procession. When the head of the column reached the Cardinal’s palace there was a halt and the Cardinal with the clergy and guard of Honor, entered the building. There the Oardinal was ‘invested with his official robes and returning to the street a procession was formed and moved to the west or main entrance of the Cathedral, when there was a formal reception b Mgr. McColgan and the service for a Cardinal’s re. ception was performed for the _ first time in Baltimore. At the close of the religious service the Cardinal returned to the palace and the —— which had moved though several of the prin- cipal streets returned to Charles street and was reviewed by the Cardinal. The ceremonies throughout were of an imposing character, and were witnessed by many thou- sands of people. Cardinal Gibbons expresses oo appreciation ofthe compliment paid to him. trom: this clty to a Washington, last week and to be an sg with ex · Gov. surprise re .

Gen, Clayton is in the city and was met to- day by a Post-DIsPaTCH reporter who showed him the dispatch. He is feeling just a little bit warmer than the weather over it and ex- pressed himself at once. **I was surprised, said he, ‘‘that such a dispatch should have been printed and I can- not trace the source of it, because I never said a word which could be ‘interpreted to mean that I thought Roscoe Conkling would be the Republican candidate. I served with Mr. Oonkling in the Senate and have highest admiration for his ability, but 1 consider him an impossibility as a Presidential candidate on account of the dissensions among the Republicans of New York in which he was a prominent figure, and also on account of his course in the last Presi- dential campaign. He is not within the range of , possibility.” What do you think the Arkansas Repub- licans will do next year?’’ have been out of politics for three years, and hence have not paid much attention to the matter, but in my personal judg- ment the Arkansas Revab cans will do in 1888 what they did in 1884; they will favor what the majority of the leading Republican States favor. In 1884 they voted for Blaine, and I do not know of anything which indicates that they will not do the same thing next year.’ Mr. R. C. Kerens, who was present during the chat, said that the South was a unit in favor of Blaine, and that there was not a cor- poral’s guard of Republicans in Texas who were not in favor of him. Mr. Kerens has a private letter from a well-known Chicago Republican in which it was stated that the sentiment there was strongly in favor of Blaine, and he also had a letter from a prom- inent Republican in Washington referring to the p graph about Conkling, and stating that the ‘Republicans were discussing it and that the general opinion was that Conklin could carry nothing and that the friends o Mr. Blaine were determined if pet | could not have him for candidate they would knife any Republican who had not given him hearty support in the last campaign.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. Bos rox, June 7.—Elmer Chic«ering, one of the best known and most fashionable photog- raphers in this city, appeared in court yester- day to answer the charge of printing and sell- ing indecent photographs. Mr. Chickering has taken the portraits of many actresses in his studio on West street, and he has nega- tives of the photographs of most of Boston’s rominent society women. He was arrested ast Saturday on information furnished 4 young woman whose name the police refuse to divulge. Mr. Chickering was at once released on bail and when his case came —6 * pnag 4 an adjournment was granted until Friday, in order to secure ſur- ther evidence. It is said that many young women from Commonwealth avenue and the Back Bay have posed recently in various strik- ing attitudes, Their explanation is that as devotees of true art there can be nothing im- proper in the exposure of natural beauty. The photographs have been widely distributed and reatly admired among the young women’s ntimate friends. The sudden passion for such displays of art has spread rapidly, and some of the photographs have found their way out- side of the select circle where they were intended to be seen and admired. It is said that some of the a nega- tives have been reproduced and copies put on sale quietly about the city. The Post-DIs- PATCH correspondent was shown, afew days ago, a dozen samples of these photographs. They were many of them taken in various oses after the famous pictures in the French Baion and in reproduction of Greek ideals. ost of the pictures were so arranged that the features of the subject were veiled. The name of the photographer was not imprinted on the cards, which are larger than the cabinet size. Mr. Chickering says that while he does not care to say who his customers have been, or in what curtailment of attire they may have seen fit to employ his art, the resent prosecution is a case of lackmail. He says that he was visited by a woman who told him that she knew of his pictures and said she would make a complaint against him unless he paid her $500 hush money. This Mr. Chickering re- ijused to do and he says bis arrest was the re- sult. He intends to make this his defense rather into the question of who his patrons are, and how he took their portraits. the police refuse to give much information about the case. They have in their possession several of these photographs, but the name of the artist is not printed on any of them. So far they have little but circumstantial evidence, but they promise that when the case again comes up there will be some inter- esting developments. than to go A Grand Donation Party.

Tucson, Ariz., June 7.—A dispatch from Hermosillo says the explorers sent out by Gov. Torres to ascertain the existence of the volca- no as reported near Bavispe, Sonora, have returned. They report an active volcano fourteen miles southeast of Bavispe in the Sierra Madre mountains. The party could not approach nearer than four miles of the mountain. The crater was ouring orth an immense volume of smoke, fire nd lava, and boiling water was issuing from The lava in vast slowly pourin down mountain into the canons, which are being filled. Boiling water has destroyed all vege- tation in the valleys in the vicinity. Bowiders weighing tons are hurled down from the crater. The exploring party says the noise The air cin- party had great difii- approaching within four owing to the great dense ders. The cuity in miles or the mountain, chasms made by the earthquake, and the roads and trails are totally wiped ont. The country is fearfully broken up. The entire surtace of the earth presents a woe-begone appearance, and not a bird or living thing could be seen within ten miles of the volcano. The town of Bavispe is a complete ruin. The ople have all moved out on the high plains, and are living in tents in mortal fear. There have been a constant tremor and continual se- ries of shocks daily since the first earthquake shock. Last night quite a heavy shock was felt in Tucson. was Be On Time To-morrow.

New ORLEANS, La., June 7.—A tragedy is re- ported from Franklin Parish. Mandy Hender- gon, colored, left her husband last fall and went to live with Ed Thomas, also colored, who deserted his wife. This spring Mandy re- turned to her husband on the Eppes plantation, but a few days ago Thomas made arrangements for her abode with him on the Wilson place, id time. males. She fatally wounded 3 t desperately for his using a club with terrific effect All of them were seriously died of her 2 . the Since the defeat ot Hanlan by Jacob Gaudaur at Pullman, several oarsmen havw expressed the desire of having a try at the champion, and among them are Bubear and Teemer. Mr. St. John yesterday received a letter from Albert Hamm, who said that shortly after Gaudaur’s victory at Pullman, Teemer said he would immediately issue a challenge to row him for the championship, but that he has now abandoned that idea and will not do 80 for some.-time to come. The reason for his sudden determination ig the growth of a troublesome boil near the shoulder. A dispatch from London says that Beach is in training for the race with Hanlan in Novem- ber, and that any offer made by Gaudaur will be accepted. As far as the doubt expressed as to Hanlan’s going to the antipodes is con- cerned, that is settled by Hanlan himself, who says: My money is already up, as 1 said before, and those who are interested in the race had better be looking after Beach, not Hanlan. As for the race, you can say that I will sail from San Francisé¢o September 1, 1887, and will be on hand fully trained and equipped for the race on the date named, November 25, 1887. It makes no difference if am beaten by Gaudaur, Teemer, Bubear, Piaisted and every oarsman in America between now and September 1, I shall sail then and will race Beach for the world’s championship, If I am alive. As for sending a cablegram to London they had better wait until somebody forfeits before they cry out. And as to Beach keeping in training, I would advise him to stick to his work, because he will have his hands full for some time.’’ ‘ Mr. St. John regards Hanlan’s determina- tion to attempt the defeat the Beach favorable to his plans and is confident that the Canadian will win. Should he do so this will make a race for the world’s championship a con- venient matter for the St. Louis sculler. The Mets Won. The Metropolitans defeated the Browns yes- terday at New York in an interesting game of bali. Hudson and Bushong, and Cushman and Donahue were the respective batteries. Foutz was at first, Caruthers at right and O’Neill at left fields, and Capt. Comiskey arded second. Robinson played third and atham was not on the list. The Mets made 5 runs, II hits and 10 errors, and the Browns scored 1 run, 9 hits and 3 errors. Games Abroad Yesterday. League: At Washington — Washington, 7; Boston, 7; At Philadelphia—Philadeipnhia, 6; New York, 6. Old Orchard Is Champion. The Old Orchards defeated the Kirkwoods on Saturday by a score of10to 5. Having laid out the Webster Gymnasium nine with ease three weeks ago, they now hold the champion- ship of St. Louis County, and do not propose to give it up on false claims. They are willing to 1 for it. A return oo will be played at Old Orchard next Saturday afternoon with the Kirkwoods. The Southern League. A dispatch from Charleston says: It now ap- pears that the four Western clubs of the Southern League are anxious to get rid of Charleston. It was taken for granted that the League would goon with five clubs under a new schedule arranged to meet the yo ee of the case. Later in the week the following telegram was received here from the President of the League Maj. C. F. Hard: Will you sell your franchise with all rights and privileges, and if so, at what price. Memphis, May 31. JOHN MORROW. A few moments after this was received came a dsipatch from Macon, asking if Charleston would sell its franchise for $1,000. As Charleston has been playing good ball and making money with an exceedingly liberal attendance atthe games, and, moreover, as the club has just gone to some expense in signing new players onthe strength of Mor- row’s announcement that the other four clubs would ‘‘stick,’’ the President of the local club, however, answered the first dispatch as fol- lows: . John Morros, President: Have never considered the question of sell- ing out. Iwill, however, submit an offer of $6,000 to the stockholders, if you makeit, and will let you know their determination on Mon- day. C. F. Harp. Charleston, May 31. To Macon the answer was returned that the Charleston franchise was not for sale. Mor- row’s facetious reply to the above is worth printing. It is as follows: To C. F. Hard: Idon’t want to buy your earthquake and your town; only your base-ball franchise. Memphis, May 31. JOHN MORROW. And thus the matter now stands. The situa- tion is not promising. The Charleston stock- holders will not sell their franchise except for a very big figure, considerably bigger thun the $6,000 named by President Hard. The club only joined the League in 1886, and spent a large amount of money fixing up their park. They lost $10,000 the first season, and yet wend into the League this season. They did more. They spent a large sum sending their team around the circuit for the opening series, and now that the club has had its first twenty games at home, its team playing fine by ath ball and going up to the front in the race, and the club making money hand over fist (the net _ receipts of the home games being not less than $500 a game), it does not propose to be frozen out. If the four other clubs are so dis- posed they can make things unpleasant, but the directors are determined to stand on their rights, and will appeal to the courts ir neces- sary. At this writing it is impossible to pre- dict the outcome. Diamond Sparks.

The club filed its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State several days ago. Its incorporators are Mr. Leonard W. Jerome, Mr. John Hunter, Mr. Lawrence Kip, Mr. Louis L.

When Mr. Jerome, who is wellknown to turfmen as the founder of the American and Coney Island Jockey Clubs, says the new park is to be the finest in the world it may be im- agined that turfmen will be interested in the new ventnre. One hundred and twenty acres have been leased for the park from its present owner, the lease to hold good until such time as the land shall pass into te control of the city. It lies in the territory included in the boundary of the new — pork. This park will be more accessible an y pleasanter routes than any in this neighborhood. The track will be one mile, flat, turfed and modeled afterthe well- known Longchamps in Paris. Months will be required to put it in order. Fine buildings are to be erected on it, and the entire plan will be carried out on a most liberal scale. — BICYCLE BUDGET. The New Club Takes a Name—A Greyhound Falls to the Rear—Notes. é The new bicycle club completed its organ!- zation at the Lindell last night. The attend- ance surprised even the most sanguine and sustained the position so often taken by the PoOst-DISPATCH that St. Louis is able to sup- port two large “cycling clubs. When tempo- rary President Belden called the meeting to order there were forty-six cyclists present. The question of constitution was discussed at considerable length and finally the the old Ramblers’ constitution and by-laws were adopted, after being slightly revised. Asin the Ramblers, the initiation feein the new club is , and the monthly dues 50 cents. The name adopted was The St. Louis Cycle Club, under which the members expect to sweep on to various road _ victories. So much of the evening was taken = in discussing the constitution that only one office was permanently filled, that of Presi- dent, to which George H. Lucas was unani- mously elected. Mr. Belden was put in nomi- nation, but wthdrew in favor of Mr. Lucas. The other officers will be chosen ata meeting to be held next week. President Lucas is a comparatively new rider, but showed such parliamentary knowledge and executive abili- ty at the first meeting thatthe boys took to him warmly. A DOGGED RIDE. A party of oe consisting of Messrs. Alex.

As they swung into the Olive street road, just west of Grand ave- nue, a large, muscular greyhound belonging to S. Plant of 8647 Washington avenue came in from a side street. The wheelmen were mov- ing along slowly and the dog eyed them a mo- ment as if thinking, Now, I wonder if those fellows can make the trip interesting for me. If they can I guess III join em. ‘he obser- vation evidently satisfied him, for he came tearing along, caught the leader and loped along ahead. Several of the boys spurted with him, but the long legs ate up the road, and at the top of the first long hill the greyhound stopped and looked back as if to ridicule the speed of the wheels. Klipstein, after a vicious dash in which he hung close to the dog, puffed outthe belief that he couid beat him to Kirkwood—twelve miles distant—but he was laughed at by the rest of the me & The events of the day proved Klip was right. When Rinkle’s, eight miles out, was reached, the dog had quit running ahead and was content to trail the front wheel. When the halt was — — at Normandy, half way, the canine had fallen to the rear and was panting hard. He was dosed with water and sponged off there, and the pace was moderated the rest of the way to give him a show but about two miles from Florissant he gave up and sank down in the shade ofa tree. He was so exhausted he could not stand up and it was some time be- iore he could get up straight enough to walk to the well, fifty feetaway. Considerable back pedaling allowed him to — with the ty till the arrival at Florissant. A good élaner and a two hours’ rest restored him and, as the wheelmen had settled the fact that neither horse nor dog can stay with the wheel, he was led back at a slow pace which, however, fagged him out before he reached home.

FOR ECONOMY’S SAKE. Public Printer Benedict Explains Recent Discharges in His Office. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcn. WASHINGTON, D.

Mr. Benedict sald yesterday: ‘‘The money to our credit for June is inadequate to keep the working force fally employed.

TRIAL PRODUCTIONS OF TWO NOVELTIES IN NEW YORK, % Hypocrite,“ by John A. Stevens and Law- rence Marsten—Frank Mayo’s Royal Guards’’—A Successful Dramatization of Dumas’ „Three Guardgmen’’—Bart- ley Campbell’s Condition—Amusement Notes. By Telegraph to the PostT-DiIsPpaTcH. NEW YORK, June 7.—A great gathering of critics, first-nighters, actors and journalists greeted the first production of ‘‘The Hypo- crite,’’ atthe Fourteenth Street Theater, last evening. The play isthe first production of J.A. Stevens, and Lawrence Marston, and may be called, in a general way, a modern application of the old story of ‘‘Othello.’’ The scene is laid in New Orleans, before the war. Young Edward Walton, a wealthy slave- owner, has married a beautiful girl. His slave, George, an octoroon, had some years before been married to a women whom he greatly loved, and whom young Walton in a moment of hard-heartedness, had sold to his friend, Richard Singleton. Singleton, pre- vious to the opening of the play, had been engaged to Walton’s wife. George, the octa- roon, is the Iago of the story. To avenge his own wrongs he uses Singleton as a tool to arouse Walton’s jealousy. Through the machinations of George, Walton finds Single- ton in his wife’s boudoir and shoots him. Walton aiterwards loses his reason and escapes poisoning at the hands of George, who dies after a quarrel with his master. Walton, having regained his senses, perceives how he has been deceived, is reconciled to his wife whom he thought false, and the play ends with the villain dead and the wife and hus- band restored to eaeh other’s confidence. The plot loses its grip before the curtain falls. It has strong points which an excellent cast did much to bring out in stron relief, but is neither probable nor we balanced. Osmond Tearle was especial! strong in the scene in which, as Edward Wal- ton, he loses his reason, and he was effective throughout. Herbert Kelse as Richard Singleton had little to do, but did it well. The best work was done by Miss Annie Robe, as the young wife. In what may be designated a ‘fweeping role’’ Miss Robe has few equals. Newton Gotthold as the villainous octoroon wus picturesque and at times powerful. The rest 2 the cast was eſtective and well bal- ance 7 — -¼ - “THE ROYAL GUARDS.” Frank Mayo’s Successful Dramatization of Dumas’ ‘‘ Three Guardsmen.” By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New YORK, June 7.—A ragged, reckless, roystering and perfectly irresistible young scalawag walked into the People’s Theater last evening and took the big audience by storm. His name was D’Artagnan, and it re- vuired no book of the play to recognize in him that charming if quite impossible hero of Du- mas’ great romance ot The Three Guards- men. In setting such a book with its ex- traordinary characters to the key of theatrical representation Mr. Mayo and his confrere had a difficult task as authors, for A suffer - ed from an embarrassment of riches, but they made a success of it, and that success was re- doubled by Mr. Mayo’s capital acting, which kept him at all times clear from the danger of pure sensationalism and inside of the borders of comedy. The story of D an and his good sword ‘‘Bobby’’ is a fumiliar one. On the stage he follows similar fortunes, arranges to fight a duel with all three of the intrepid three guardsmen and joins with them in rout- ing the soldiers of Cardinal Richelieu, assists the persecuted Queen, who, refusing the Car- dinal’s suit, incurs his enmity, and baffles the intriguing English woman who seeks toruin Lord Buckingham and the Queen, for love of whom she has been cast aside, makes love to the lovely Constance, who ultimately talis into his happy arms and parenthetically helps on the fortunes of the famous three guardsmen with their own queer romances. The play bristles with points, and the interest never flags. And well did the clothes of the ged hero fit the manly form of Mr. Mayo. ell- cious were his swagzer and bravado and de- lightful bis innocence and naivete, whether fighting or wooing, or serving the cause of his Constance and his Queen. His humor was irre- sistible, and the audience was as happy in the appreciation of the part as he was in its rendi- tion. The support was very good as a whole, and the costumes and scenery excellent. „»The Royal Guards, as the dramatization is named, will round out the week royally at the People’s Theater.
