The Big Balloon Will Not Go Up To- Morrow. Prof. Hazen’s Card Ex- plains the Situation. The Wind Blowing in a Con- trary Direction. Everything in Readiness but the Current— How the Air- hip Is Handled in the Meanwhile—Putting the Monster to Bed —Excellent Time Made Bythe Carrier- Pigeons of the Expedition—The Capacity and Cargo of the Big Bulb and Its Car. The balloon is still waiting. Prof. Hazen observes the most remarkable condition in the atmosphere. The wind is steadily blowing from the aast to the west, when its natural direction is opposite. There has been a high area moving slowly west- ward from the Atlantic that is now centered over the Lakes. Its progression has been very slow, not over twenty miles an hour. The moment it gets to the west of a line running north and south through St. Louis the balloon may start on its voyage. That time will not arrive to- day nor to-morrow. Prof. Hazen is much distressed over the laggardness of the wind in refusing to reach a proper direction and velocity, but can do nothing other than watch for a chanze. The other members of the balloon party can do nothing but wait upon him, and the public wait upon them. Those interested in the ascension now have an opportunity of becoming meteorolo- gists of some degree by following the direc- tions containedin Prof. Hazen’s card below and watching the Signal Service maps posted in front of the PoOST-DISPATCH office, at the Post-Office and on Change for a change in the conditions: DISCUSSING TH SITUATION: The following is Prof. Hagen’s card: SIGNAL OFFICE, Sr. Louts, Mo., 2 p. m., June 14, 1887. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: There can be no ascension to-morrow. The weather conditions remain substantially the same as yesterday with the following excep- tions: The high pressure area which was cen- tral at 7 a. m. yesterday over Lake Huron has steadily moved westward! and is now central over West Ontario. This is a most remarkable fact, and indicates an exact reversal of the upper currents. It should be stated, however, that the magnitude of this high area is gradually diminishing. The second slight change to be noticed is the gradual shifting of the wind toa southerly direction. morning the wind was due west. At this writ- ing it has backed to the southeast, which mo- tion a careful weather observer connected with the POST-DISPATCH predicted at 9 this morning. A high area has appeared off the Oregon coast, and has already made itself felt at Salt Lake City, where the pressure has risen .18 in. in nine bours. The following would be the probable course of the balloon it the ascent should be made to-morrow: At first the balloon would go nearly due north at rate of about twenty miles per hour. When it reached Northern Wisconsin, or just before that, it would turn tothe right and be wafted into Canada. If the buoyancy could be kept up seventy-two hours it would prob- ably reach the neighborhood of Montreal. If the influence of the high area should become more feeble, there would be a very slight tendency to a motion toward the west and the balloon would sail into Montana. It will be seen that the prospects are very dubious for a successful voyage. If any one is interested in this mat ter he can satisfy himself as to the above consideration by comparing this statement with the weather map posted n the Merchant’s Exchange,in the Post-office, in front of the PosT-DISPATCH and in many other places. It is only necessary to remember that the winds and upper currents flow either away from the high aria or in a direction with the motion of aclock hands. It will be necessary to wait till the high aria to the east is both broken up or tili a storm advances to the east of this city. H. ALLEN HAZEN, Jr. Prof. 8. O. _ n PUTTING THE BALLOON TO BED. How the Monster Is Cooled for the Night at Armory Hall. The aerial monster bears its detention on terra firma impatiently. Nightly it must be prepared for its rest like a child. On the way to this city from Winsted, Conn., where it was constructed, it was under the convoy of Prof. Silas Brooks, who was compelled to constantly remain in the car and tend it day and night. While sitting atthe door of the car catching the breeze as the train sped on across the prairies he was often called buck to the cradle of his mammoth charge to bestow atient, and often discov which called him from ‘| curious 8 ; of daylight glanced in at the windows, of Arm- all, ory the grand dome of which was alread enveloped inthe gloom. Along the smoot floor lay the collapsed monster awaiting its feed of cooling fresh airon which to ve the night. Aiter its folds were adjusted on the floor the order was given to e force of men at the fan and they began work. As the fan whirred the air rushed into p hands were put to work at the fan, and the currer ts rushed into the canvas cavern. The big balloon ballied up and rolled about as if it were about to rise from its baunches. As the hide-like cloth became, distended the big body swayed from side to side. The vol- ume of air increased and suddenly shot into a long fold at one side till it popped with the distension and gave an ugly R of the advance of a giant paw in the direction of the ectator. When the supply reached the further end of the balioon it eud- denly filled out the top and flipped over the yg wooden valve, which fell on the oor with a noise that reverberatea throvgh the recesses of the spacious truss roof, chasing silence from the dark corners in which it had ensconsed itself for the night, meking the spectators start involuntarily. By this time a shuffling, scraping noise told the aeronauts that the big bag had bellied up forty feet against the gas mains neartheroof. The order to stop the fan was given when an over-curious young negro ventured too close to the neck ofthe bal- loon, and was almost knocked off his feet — the escaping air as it rushed from the neck of the balloon while the fan was being discon- nected. The neck was then tied and with its supply of fresh cool air the monster balloon was leftfor the night in care of Watchman Devine and the police officer in charge of Armory Hall. wh? The Air-Ship’s Cargo. The WORLD and Post-DIsPaTcH balloon will carry a heavier load in its skyward trip than bas been required of any balloon that ever ascended in this country. The balloon has a capacity of 162,000 cubic feet, but allowing for expansion of gas, which takes place at hiah altitudes, owing to changed conditions of atmospheric pressure and heat, only 160,000 cubic feet of gas will be taken. Coal gas has a lifting power of 40 pounds per 1,000 cubic feet, but owing to the presence of water in the fluid thisis often reduced.

Owing to the delay occasioned by waiting for the eastern current it was decided to re- turn the carrier pigeons to their loft. This afforded an excellent opportunity to ascertain the speed of the birds. Mr. T. Ansdell of Crystal City, Mo., had forwarded six homing pigeons by express. On their arrival they were cared for carefully and by arrangement with Mr. Ansdell they were re- ‘leased as soon as it was discovered | that the ascension could not be made before Wednesday or Thursday of this week. At 1:16 p. m. the six birds were set at liberty from a window in the PoOSsT- DISPATCH building. During the first moments of free- dom they rose siowly, sraduaily moving to- wards Sixth street where they made rapid ascent througb the meshes of the telegraph wires and cables. The six birds rose together near the junction of Murket and Sixth streets until they reached a level above the surrounding house-tops and then floated in the air for an instant, bunching together and apparenaly setting their bearings. After a mowment’sstudy of the ward and precinct boundaries, police, fire and sireet-sprinkling d.stricts, they headea south with along, easy stroke of the wings. The motion steadily increased as the birds flew soutbwardly out of sight. Arrangements had deen made with Mr. Ansdell to notifiy this of- fice oi the arrival of the birds. During the afternoon tLe following telegram was recetved: To Post-Dispatcn: Birds arrived at 1:55; will send them for bDal- loon ascension. T. ANSDELL. Crystal City, June 13. Mr. Ansdell’s lofts are three and one-half miles south of Silica on the Iron Mountain | road, and thirty-five and one-half miles from this city. The birds covered the distance in thirty-nine minutes, having made nearly a mile a in nute in the trip. The birds furnished by Mr. Ansdell will be released as directed. Two pigeons to be fur- nisned by Mr. Roesch of this city will carry the last messages from the balloon, as their owner has great confidence in their training. They will probably be released at sunrise on the day after the start, CLEVELAND’S WESTERN TRIP. An Extended Teur Not Comtemplated—A False Report Denied. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.—It is not true, as has been reported, that President Oleve- land contemplat@ next autumn an extended tour through the West, in the course of which he will consent to be the principal attraction atsundiy county and agricultural fairs and other bucolic diversions of a like nature. .It is more than probable that President Cleve- land willspend a fortnight late in the sun mer hunting in the Adirondacks. In September he will attend the Grand Army cele- bration in St. Louis, stopping a few hours en route at Cincinnati, and possibly Louisville. He will leave St. Louis via Omaha, where he may spend half a day. Itis not improbable that another day ‘ be spent in Chicago. Postmaster-General Vilas, who will be at home at Madison, Wis., about this time, has urged the President to extend his trip to that oint also. This the President may do if his rief vacation will permit. He is also consid- ering propositions to stop over a few hours each at several other places between here and Chicago upon the return trip.

The Chicago Clique, Which Has Controlled Wheat Fer Three Months, Goes to Pieces —Local Bears Jubilant—Scenes of Ex- citement on ’Change—Two Failures Re- ported from Chicago. | NEw YORK, June 14, 12:30 p. m.—As a re- suit of a heavy decline at the West, the local wheat market suffered a bad break and during the period under review there was considera- able excitementon the pressure to sell. Early months are the weakest, Juneand July being down fully 2@2%c, and later deliveries show a loss of IM elne. Thespeculativedealings are the largest in some time up tothe hour of writing, with most interest center- ed in July, August, September and December deliveries. Heavy receipts atthe West was one bear influence; besides there is to be a meeting of the Board of Trade Directors in Chicago, relative to declaring certain warehouses good receptacles for grain now ontrack. It is also rumored that the re- cent clique is broken. MARKED DEPRESSION. 1 p. m.—The depression in the wheat market is even more marked at this hour, and since the last report the excitement has been more intense. The only | new feature since is the report of the failure of alarge bull house in the West. The ex- treme decline here is 8% cents, without fail- ures. The speculative dealings are unprece- dented up to the hour of writing. — a A PANIC IN OHIOAdO. The Great Wheat Clique Demoralized—A Heavy Failure. CHICAGO , June 16.— There isapanic in the wheat pit on the Board of Trade. The great wheat clique is utterly demoralized and is said to have gune broke on to-day’s sensational drop in prices. Moritz Rosenfeld & Company one of the clique houses said toa reporter at 12:10 this afternoon: ‘‘This wheat ciiqgue has not — N. engagements and we will have to sus pend.’’ Itis feared that a numberof other houses will goto the wall before night. ROSENFELD’S FAILURE. 12:50 p. m.—Ro-enfeld & Co.“ failure has just been announced on the Board. Wheat deciined for June from 92 cents to 75 cents, a decline of 17 cents per bushel. CAUSE OF THE SUSPENSION. Immediately atter Secretary Stone had an- nounced the suspension of Rosenfeld &Co., the offices of this firm, as well as those of other commission houses who are supposed to be act‘ng for the clique, were crowded with anxious brokers, all anxious to know what the s:tuation was, and whether the other clique houses would be forced to suspend also. Mr. Rosenf id could not be seen, and his manager, Frank Johnson, said he could make no statement as yet, beyond the fact that they had suspended. Our suspension. said Mr. Johnson, ‘‘is due simply to the reason that our Cincinnati clients have fa led to keep all their verbal and written promises in regard to — up mar- gins. We were assured by them last night that the money would be forthcoming this morning, and at intervals of ten minutes all this forenoon we have received telegrams from | Cincinnati, ann uncing that the money for the margins would be placed to our credit here. Up to noon, however, nothing has been re- ceived from them, and to prevent more seri- Ous losses, we took the steps we did. The | geyser alarm prevailed among the ‘*Board of Trade houses, but up to 2 m., no further failures had been announced. UNDER THE HAMMER.’’ An evening paper says the 16. 000, 000 bushels of grain collected here nd held by a mysteri- ous combination will now besold out ‘ under the hammer.’’ The losses of Rosenfeld & Co., on the decline, are estimated at $500,000. KERSHAW & CO.’S CARD. Kershaw & Co., who are recognized as the leadinxs clique brokers, sent in a communica- tion to the Secretary of the Board of Trade that they would have plenty of money by to- morrow and requesting all houses to keep their trades with them open until then. TWO MORE SUSPENSIONS. 2:30 p. m.—It bas just been announced on the Board of Trade that the commission firms of Hamill & Brine and E. W. Berry have sus- pended. ALL QUIET. 8p.m.—The excitement on ths Board of Trade quieted down somewhat as the after- noon session drewto a close, and no further developments are looked for to-day. Wilshire Won’t Talk. CINCINNATI, June I4.—J. W. Wilshire, who has been named as one of the Cincinnati clique connected with the Chicago wheat deal, was asked to-day what he had to say concern- ing the tumble, but most emphatically re- fused to say anything or to admit that he knew anything more than anybody else about the matter. Failures in Milwaukea. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jane 14.—The sudden drop in wheat at all the great grain centres caused great excitement on change to-day. These failures were announced, vis: Frank Wil- son, Joseph Wilde and Hill, Fleitzheim & Co., the latter being the Milwaukee branch of C. J. Kershaw & Co. of Chicago. Hooker, Oritten- den & Co. closed out all their trades. Their. failure depends on the ability of the Kershaw crowd to meet all their obligations. - — un. ON ’CHANGE, Local Operaters Jubilant—History of the Mysterious May Deal. The floor of the Merchants’ Exchange to-day was a scene of wild excitement. The local’ crowd of bears celebrated the downfall of the Chicago clique and the biggest break in the market price of wheat known in the history of the Merchants’ Exchange. Early in the forenoon session there was a great deal of suppressed excitement caused by a premonition of the break.

Henry Vogelsang is said to have sold 500,000 bushels of July wheat at the p of the market and to have ‘*shorted’’ the market all the way down. Oliver Wiseman sold 150,000 in Chicago at 92@934c, and the whole amount was bought in to-day at 7ic, making a profit of $29,000 for Mr. Wiseman. AMUSING INCIDENTS. There were a number of curious and amusing’ incidents connected with the break. Orders telegraphed to Chicago to buy or sell wheat were filled at figures wide of the quotation when the telegram Was sent. Vogelsang telegraphed Chicago to buy June wheat at 79 cents. He received notice that it had been bought at 74 cents. He immediately. wired to his to buy all the champagne they could drink at hisexpense. One broker who bad a ‘‘spread’’ of % cent between July and August 1 orders to close it, aud received word fifteen minutes that it had been closed at a difference of 3 cents a bushel. The bucket-shop» were credited with heavy losses. Roche, Wiseman and Brown all had a large number of shorts on their books, many of whom had muargined their deals from a low point. Wiseman got back his losses and more, too, on the floor. Floyd, the fourth bucket-shop proprietor, went out ot business June l witha big profit onthe May deal. pe THE LOWEST POINT reached by June wheat was 73 cents. The closing prices in Chicazwo were 74% cents for June and 756% cents for July. HISTORY OF THE DEAL. The big deal was begun in Chicago some time in March. Its inception was clouded in mystery. Its conclusion is as mysterious as its beginning was. The brokers in th eal were Irwin Green & Co., Rosen- feld & Co. and Kershaw. The principals in the deal have never been known, It was credited to Armour, 7 m wheat to Rockafeller of the Standard Oil Company to California parties and a Cincinnati clique. up by unlimited wealth. They took every bushel of cash wheat that was offered—mo than 20,000,000 bushels—and paid for it. They controlled every bushel of wheat in store and no wheat except that in elevator was considered deliverable on future contracts. The crowd was not sup- posed to have made any money on the May deal. It was carried into June in the face of the new. crop. June wheat was run u to cents. Yesterday the bears gotadecision from the Board of Trade attorney in Chicago that all grain in cars or loaded in the harbor deliverable on contracts. There the of 2,000, 000 or 3,000, 000 in with delivery in cars, and $a day demurrage on every car not unloaded. This broke the deal. The break was only stopped by Pull Armour and Sid Kent stepping into the pit and bidding for wheat. FAILURES IN CHICAGO, Rosenfeld & Oo. failed early, and Kershaw failed in the afternoon, but an- nounced he would be carried through. Hamill & Brine also failed, and alittle trader named Balley threw up the sponge. THE COFFEE MARKET. A Stronger Feeling Among Brokers this Morning—O’Donoghue’s Statement, New Tonk, June M4.—The feeling in the street among coffee brokers is stronger this morning. Cables from Havre and Rio nota in- crease of prices, standing at Havre 2 cents above the New York quotation and 5 cents above at Rio. A _ private Havre cable dated to-day at 10:30 a. m. gives an advance of 2francs, whichis equivalent to forty points in the New York market. All this tends to strengthen the feeling on Change. The talk on the street is of the grand stand of the old war horse J. J. O' Donoghue, in stay- ing the tide yesterday which would have otherwise carried widespread disaster. Mr. O Donoghus feels confident. He be- lieves that the scene of yesterday will not be repeated. Said he: At least one big house was very closely pushed yesterday, and two others had.a narrow — But they are all right to- day. The big one has now $500,000 in the bank to its credit alldemands.

I have filled orders for 17,000 bags this morning in the recular orderof business. The Rio speculators who bolstered up this boom are considered ashaky lot. They have a way of ng oe on a falling market. Specniators and brokers from Baltimore and Hadelphia are ficcking into the street to- day, — a general feeling of suppressed ex- citemernt rules. Brokers are gathered to- 8 on the streets discussing the situation his morning. FEVERISH AND UNCERTAIN. At the first call at the Coffee Exchange this morning an excited crowd of brokers gathered about the board. The hea buyers of yes- terday did not noticeably appear the front.

Se +. — \ „ calculations : Tor a cussing an Extension of Three Days— Points on the Starters in the Suburban Next Saturday—The Race for Winners. O-MORROW will be the last day of St. Louis spring meeting for 1887, unless, as stated elsewhere, a spe- cial arrangement is made between President Green and the book" making frater- nity. The wind- up of the meeting will be signalized by the running of the Granite Moun- tain stakes for winners at this meeting, and this race alone pos- ‘sesses sufficient interest to bring out a big crowd. When the present meeting was ar- ranged it was pos- itively announced mat there would be no extra racing. At that time it was not anticipated that the demand for ‘‘more’’ would be made, and hence Presi- Gent Green is now considering a proposition to extend the meeting over the balance of the week. The idea was suggested by the book- makers, who seem to be anxious to have an- other three days’ betting, from what motive it ie impossible to say. Whether the book- makers have lost on the races, or whether their business, which has been thrifty during the past eight days, has proved a bonanza, it is impossible to say, although the majority of the betters will be inclined to the latter belief. At any rate, the book- makers eagerly desire that the meeting be pro- longed, and yesterday afternoon they madea proposition to Mr. Green, in which they Offered him $2,000 to extend the racing until next Saturday. Mr. Green 1 2 that $2,000 was a trifle light, but that if the speculative fraternity could screw up their enthusiasm to a point represented by the figures $3,000 he would e their proposition under consideration. The bookmakers met last night at the Southern Hotel and bid up the price to $2,500. Speaking of the matter this morning MnGreen paid that he was quite uncertain as yet whether the meeting would be extended or not. The question doesnot depend so much upon the ability of the association to put three more programmes. There are plenty of good orses atthe track who can run good races and who would readily be entered into purses fixed up for the occasion.

ConcorD, N. H., June 14.—With the return last night of the members of the Legislature, the feeling ofthe anti-Chandler men against Chandler, has increased. Although he is re- garded as the regular nominee of the Repub- lican party, itis evident that a strong effort will be made to defeat his election. As the POsT-DISPATCH has already announced, it will require only sixteen votes to cause a dead- lock, and this is what the opposition are try- g to secure. Marston is by no means out ot the race. He has talked the situation over with his followers anda determined et- fort will be made to knife Chandier in the House. The election will take place to-day at noon. Up to last night Mr. Chandler has felt secure, but the air is full of rumors of deals intended to destroy Chandler’s chances and he is becoming nervous. Astrange fact is that none of the twenty-five men who stayed away from the caucus have yet turned up. Just what this means handler does not know. It was said last night that the Marston men were holding a meeting somewhere out of town. With them were some Rollins men. If these men join forces there is little doubt that sixteen men can be pledged to bolt the nomination of Chandler and stand for Marston. Ifa dead- lock result to-day.it is impossible to predict the final result. it is reasonably certain that in case of a deadiock neither Chandler nor Marston will be elected. The bitter feeling be- tween the two is too strong to admit of a subsequent union of the forces, and the result will doubtiess be the election ofa dark horse, There is talk already of uniting on Congress- man Gallenger, unless the Democrats combine with the Marston forces. The whole matter new hinges on the question whether Chand- ler’s enemies can secure sixteen votes against him out of the Republican ranks. The Marston men are confident and the Chandler men are doubtful. Chandler Gets There. OONCORD, N.

Goode Make Argu- ments For the Government. Boston, Mass., June 14.—The arguments in the case of the United States vs. The Bell Tele- phone Company on the demurer to the bill of complaint of the United States, were resumed again this morning in the United States Circuit Court. Grosvenor P, Lowry made the opening ar- gument for the United States, which was brief but eloquent and forcible. He dwelt mainly onthe sixth point in defendants’ demurrer, which is to the effect that the bill does not set forth any fraud in the procure- ment of patents and that it does not show when, how, from whom, or by what means the complainant first had knowledge or notice of each alleged fact. At the conclusion of Mr. Lowry’s argument, Gen. Goode arose and addressed the court at great length, strongly mainta‘ning the prepo- sitions that the Governmen has the right to vacate or rescind a patent obtained by fraud; that the Government aione is the proper arty to bring the suit and this is the proper orm ot procedure. He went carefully into the examination of the authorities in support of the above propositions. He further maintained that there had been absolutely no legisiation whatever by Con- — on this question as stated by Judge ‘torrow yesterday, and that the better doc- trine seems to be that a patent may be vacated by the United Statesin the interest of the gen- eral ublic when obtained surreptitiously or by fraud. Hesaid: ‘‘We are not here in the interest of any private party, but in behalf of the United States and the people at large and oppressive monop- oly. There is no distinction be- tween a patent for a land grant and a patent for an invention in this regard and the authorities are numerous to the effect that the United States through a Court of Chancery has the power to vacate a patent for land obtained by fraud.’’ The Court took a recess for an hour atl p. m. Judge Goode is still continuing his argu- ment. he venerable Judge Thurman, dur- ing the greater part of the hearing, has been obliged to recline on a sofa, owing to the se- vere rheumatic pains from which he is suffer- ing. against a great REAL ESTATE, Sales and Transfers of Importance Which Were Made To-Day.

THE SCHOOL BOARD COMMITTEE ATTEMPTS TO SAVE MONEY. Avoids Big Opportunities and Handles Trivialities—Adopts the German Plan to Save Money by Discharging English Teachers — Entertaining Financial Ex- pedients—Teachers’ Pay. The Retrenchment Committee of the School Board met last night and considered the vart- ous plans of revising and limiting the expendi- tures that have been proposéd. It was a much more quiet session than was an- ticipated, principally because the mem- bers were active before the meeting seeking to harmonize the differences that hdd arisen. There were present of the committes Messrs. Brady, Blaisdell, Bryan, D'Amour, Goerlich, Hawkins, Koenig, Muench, O’Con- nell, Parie and Zelle. Two members were absent. Some discussion ensued soon after Mr. Bryan, as chairman, called the meeting to order on the action of the committee at its last meeting. The cut of the architect’s salary from $8,000 to $2,000 was one point which called out a mass of words, after which the former action was reconsidered and the salary placed at $2,400. The rule requiring the archi- tect to devote his entire time to the busi- ness of the Board was abolished. On the subject of the Superintendent’s assistant clerk the usual amount of talk ensued, the former action of the committee bring reconsidered and her salary fixed at „000. is now $1,200. This reduction of on the year, some members think will enable the Board to do a great deal toward making u the deficiency in the income, an with the residue the will doubtless complete the High School on Grand avenue. he supply agent's clerk, whose 2 was reduced at the former meeting from $1, to $900 was given 1,000 by reconsideration of the former action. bat will be done with the surplus thus created no one knows.

This plan was proposed for adoption at the last meeting of the com- mittee as the report of a sub-committee con- sisting of Messrs. Muench and Koenig. It was presented as follows: The committee have arrived at the conciu- sion thata reduction in the extra cost of Ger- man instruction cannot be effected without impairing its efficiency except by a more gen- eral assignment of German-English teachers to rooms. The plan of assigning Ger- man-English teachers to rooms which carried out in some of our schools at present makes it practicable to piace each German- English teacher in charge of but two German classes, and your sub-committee therefore recommends that our system of exchanging rooms between German-English and En- glish teachers be abandoned and that the system which has been in successful operation for twenty-five years in Cincinnati be adopted in its stead for the four lower grades. Inthe schools of Oincinnati, a Ger- man-English and an English teacher ex- change rooms in-these grades once each day, atnoon, each teacher remaining in charge ofthe room allafternoon and the following morning, and instructing the pupils of two rooms aiternately. The adoption of this plan will render it feasible to assign FOUR GERMAN CLASSES to every German-English teacher in the four lower grades, where the classification may require it; and the assignment of an adequate number of German-English teachers to rooms in these grades will removethe necessity of employing special teachers of German in grades 1, 2, 3 and 4. The teaching ot the German language will cause extra expense only in the four higher grades, where tue classes willbe in charge of Special German teachers, and the Assistant-superintendent, who is in charge of German instruction, has found by a careful examination into the possible saving, that a gradual introduction of the above plan in the four lower grades, situated in the neighborhoods in which German-speaking citizens are numerous will result eventually in a saving ot about $25,000. Your committee therefore recom- mends that the plan de adopted for the next scholastic year in the Blair, Irving, Ashland, Benton, Madison, Car- roll, Pestalozzi, Humboldt, Lafayette, Garfield and Gravois schools, as it will result in a sav- ing of $11,890.’’ n view of the fact that the number of Ger- man-speakin parents small in other neighborhoods the abolition of German teaching is recommended in the Ar- lington, Baden, Belle avenue, Compton, Orow, Des Peres, Eliot, Pope, Shaw and Stoddard saving $5,815 and — a total saving of $17,205. The schools selected for the retention of German being in sections pulated by Ger- man-speaking people chiefly are the Blair at 2707 Rauschenbach avenue, ing at Twenty- fifth street and Bremen avenue, Asbiand Natural Bridge road one mile of Fair Grounds, Benton at and Locust streets, Madison at Seventh and Labadie streets, ew | at ev- enth and Barry. streets, Humboldt at Third street and Russell avenue, Lafayette at Ann avenue and Ninth street, Garfield at Jefferson avenue and Wyoming street, and the Gravois at Gravoigand Wyoming. These schools are to be given up to A SYSTEM FOR TEACHING GERMAN that places that study at the head of the list of studies and gives to it an especial prominence. In the ether schools where German has here- tofore been taught it is to be abandoned. This latter action will cause an actual saving of $5,815 to the Board, but that is the limit of the saving. There are now in the public schools 101 German teachers employed at a cost of $58,300: A portion of this number —those — 7 4 in teaching in the first four grades—wili not be reappointed next year, a small portion, however. In their place there will be appointed German-English teachers, and many German teachers w be appointed in the rman-Engliah class. But in conformity with the plan, thi English teachers now employed will not be ap: 8 for next year. Their places will e given to German-English assistants and so without really cutting down the teach- ing of German one bit or reducing its cost an spesrens saving of $11,390 is made, and that will be made by the discharge of thirty En- giish assistant teachers. Mr. Tueteberg said this morning that the entire corps of teachers in the Public Schools would be thirty less next yearthan this year. And that is the number of English teachers it is proposed to do away with. They will be piaced on a roll reappointment when vacancies occur, and the Normal School graduates of the other day, forty in number, will be kept on roll for ap- pointment afterward. The graduates’ chances are one in a thousnnd for obtain- ing employment inside a year. Next January another large class will be graduated, and such a large surplus of appli- cants must then of necessity be carried on the rolls as would prevent High School ara eg r the Normal School at all. Speaking of the situation this morning, a friend of the schools suggested THE ABOLITION OF THE NORMAL SCHOOL, which for at least two years must be a useless adjunct to the schools, and now costs $8,300 per annum. The committee adopted the plan without a recorded vote, but had a poll of the members been called for a number would have voted against the adoption. The sub-committees on High and District Schools and on half day sessions were given additional time. The committee will make a artial report to-night at the meeting of the board hat action will be taken it is im - sible to tell, but it will hardly be favorabie to the German plan so adroitly framed. y proposed that the su ntend - ybe cut down from $8,600 to $3,000, ne action be taken on Se Wash’s salary, which is the same Hickman amended to reduce | 10 per cent.

This monstrous proposal, therefore, throwing out the Only relief which the bill gives, was due to OFS te landlords in the Upper House, with | ‘gs consent.

The Duchess d’Alencon Becomes Insane and Is Piaced Under Restraint. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. Lowpor, June 14.—News was received here to- day from Vienna that the wife of the Duo d Alencon, one of the most popular members ot the Orleans family, has become insane and has had to be put under restraint. The Duchess is the yovngest sister of the Empress of Austria and ‘of the ex-Queen of Naples. She was dorn in 1847, at Munich, and, like all the children of old Duke Max of Bavaria, is devoted to horses and to every kind of sport. At one period she was betrothed to the late King of Bavaria, but the engagement was very suddenly broken off. Numerous stories are related as to the cause of the rupture, the version generally accepted being that she was discovered by her royal lover in a position of undue familiarity ' with a young English groom, who was in the habit of attending her when she went out rid- ing. The ill-fated King's misanthropy, which terminated in his suicidal death last year, dates from that time. A few years later she married the Duc d’Alencon, second gon ofthe Duc DeNemours and grandson of King Louis Philippe of France. Last year the Duc d Alencon, who held the rank of Captain of Artillery in the French army, was deprived of his military rank in accordance with the terms ofa law then passed prohibiting mem- bers of houses which have reigned in France from holding any Government office. The Duchess shortly afterwards fell dangerously u in Germany and, judging by the news re- ceived here, her malady has developed the hereditary taint of insanity of the Wittelsbach tamily. * a England. ‘ THE POPE AND THE IRISH.

AN EXTRAORDINARY EVENT. New Ton, June l4.—Advices from Panama, dated the 4th inst., say: A most extraordinary event occurred recently to a farmer living in Onndinamarca. He had been superintending some work which was being done in the flela. , and had left his men to return to his hom when he was momentarily surrounded by an electric flame, which disappeared as quickly as it came. The victim’s left eye was damaged and the eyebrow was burned completely off. The hair surrounding his ears, a portion of his beard and all the hair on his breast were burned off. Allthe brass but- tons disappeared from his clothing, his watch chain was cut in two, asmall hole was bored through his watch case, and the watch glass was shattered, and his right side was burned. He suffered severely, but is recovering rapidly under medical treatment. Egypt. THE ANGLO-TURKISH CONVENTION.

DIED IN PRISON. The Sad Case of a Colored Girl Charged With Infanticide. WESTMINSTER, Md., June 14.—Jessie D. Brown (colored) was placed at the bar of the Oircuit Court of Carroll County for trial on Friday last for the murder of her new. bern child. She was in very feeble health consumption having developed immediately after her arrest. She was daily carried from the jail to the Court-house, having been unable to walk. This morning her sister, who attended to her, found her dead in her cell. The fact was reported to the court, who said she had been tried by a higher tribunal, and ordered the jury to be discharged. Matters in Court. Judge Dillon this afternoon rendered a de- cision dismissing the divorce petition of Christian Wolff against Mary Wolff, particulars of which were given in the PosT-DISPaTCH a few days since.

A petition was presented in the Circuit Court to-day for incorporation of the St. Louis Col- lege of Pharmacy. The Association was created in October, 1886, under the law of 1846, and a doubt has arisen as to whether the cor- porate life of the institution has not expired. An attachment suit was filed this afternoon by Marshall Field, L. 8. Woodhouse, H. M. Higinbotham and others against George W Black to recover . 68.

The laws are made for the citizens and not the citizens for the laws, and it is absurd to attempt to force citizens into legal struight kets as a Chinese woman’s foot is squee into a shoe. I believe in interpreting such a law as the United States interprets the law to send mail by pony express as authority to send it onatrain. An old law must be interpreted in accordance with the needs and convenience of the present day. We consider necessities now things that our fathers never dreamed of. consider the bath and bar in the hotel necessities for travelers; street cars, restuu- rants where hot meals can be bought, and other such things, necessities.’’ ‘*Do you think theaters and base ball games within the action of the Board?’’ „Tes, Ithink they are: that is, base ball games where admission is charged and which come under the head of occupations for gain.’’ The Board generally indicate their intention of making the law as little obnoxious as pos- sible and of interpreting it in favor of freedom.

The Meeting This Afternoon to Discuss the Sunday Law. It was 2:30 o’clock this afternoon before the saloon- keepers had assembled in Turner Hall for the purpose of deciding what action would te taken on the proposed enforcement of the Sunday law. The meeting was strictly secret and no one except saloon- keepers was allowed to be ey in the hall. The saloon-keepers would not express themselves on the subject before the meet- ing, but it was evident that there were many differences of opinion. Several were stronuly opposed to the brewers’ plan to close all except one sxloon and make a test case of that. Some said that they were in fuvor of keeping .open and fighting the contest out. The meeting was still in progress at 8 o’ clock. There were above four hundred sgaloon- keepers present. THE BUILDING TRADE TROUBLE. Fracas—The Iron Workers. Forty-Nine’s Financial and Steel CHICAGO, III., June 14.—The Political Com- mittee of the Union League Club, held a meet- ing last night forthe purpose of considering with a view, if deemed feasible, of inaugurat- between employers and employes.’’ not discuss the subject as such, being wholely in the hands of the Politi- cal Oommittee. Pliny Smith addressed the meeting at some length. He advocated the restoration and re-establishment of all rights of citizenship guaranteed by the Con- : stitution of the United States; and the main | tenance of the supremacy of the law through- out the land. The vital question of the day should be met, he thought, and settled. Mr. Smith’s remarks were applauded, and one or two other short addresses were made to about the same effect. The only action taken was the adoption of a resolution that acircular set- ting forth the status of the labor troubles be mailed to citizens for signature. When a suf- | ficient number of signatures have been ob- tained, a public meeting is to be ealled. RAISED THE FEE. There are not as many bricklayers leaving the city now as when the lockout was in- augurated, and for the same reason that keeps bricklayers out of this city. When the union here raised its initiation fee to $25 forthe pur- pose wf keeping bricklayers out of Chicago, they did not think, probably, that other cities would follow their example. Those brick- layers who went from here to Milwaukee Kansas City and Omaha were shocke on reaching those cities to find that they would not be allowed to work by the unions until they paid thejr initiation fee. when the trouble here is settled, they did not like to pay $10 or $25 into a unioa to whose membership they may belong not more than a week or two. The unions of the cities named refused to change their constitution to accommodate the Chicago visitors. Several bricklayers who left here a week or two ago have returned, as, being unable to pay the fee the union required, they could get no work. A Labor Riot. CLEVELAND, O., June 14.—The strike on the ore docks of the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio Railroad culminated in a riot this after- noon.About a month ago the men who load ore into the cars at the docks struck for $2 a day and advance of 2 cents. Since then their places have been filled by colored men from the South and foreigners brought here from Chica- go. For afortnight the workmen have been given police protection, as the strikers, who are Irish, have threatened to drive them out of town.

New YorK, June 14.—The Sunday afternoon sessions of District Assembly .49, Knights of Labor, are prolonged far into the night now- adays. The Auditing Committee, of which Michael Hanley is Chairman, was to report last Sunday, but did not, and instead two of the coramittee handed in their resignations. The delegates were ata loss to know what it all meant. The two committeemen made speeches that puzzied them. The delegates tried to unravel things yesterday, when their heads were cool. They made out that the building fund was short $5,000, and that the shortage was unlike the shortage of $5,700 in the assistance fund, because while that, it was said, had gone into the general main- tenance fund, it was hard to account for the $5,000 shortage. Thetwo committeemen said that the accounts were so muddled that no one could make head or tail to them, and they did not eare toappend their names to a re- port The Iron and Steel Workers.

The Husband Failed to Keep His Promise—A Case of Moral Duress Driving a Bride From Home—An Important Decision for Domestic Servants—The Finley Habeas Corpus Case— Construction of the Lindell Will. Judge Seddon to-day rendered a decision in the Lindenschmidt maintenance case. The parties were married in October, 188. Mr. Lindenschmidt took his bride to the house of his mother to live. He had promised her be- fore her marriage that as soon as the con- dition of his father, who was then very ill, permitted, they woul go to housekeeping. The father shortly afterwards died. For reasons not necessary to refer to, says Judge Seddon, such a state of feeling existed between Mrs. Linden- schmidt, Jr., and her mother-in-law and sis- ters-in-law that it was impossible for her to remain there happily. She was doubtless greatly though not entirely to blame for this condition of affairs. She at length appealed to her husband to take her away and on the Ast of January last he sent her to her mother’s promising that he would come to her on Sunday the 28d of Jan- uary and make arrangements for the future. The court finds that Mrs. Lindenschmidt was not guilty of any abandonment of her husband. Since that time he has repudiated her, however, never went near her and has failed and refused to provide for her support. He therefore clearly abandoned her. She gave him no cause since the 2ist of Janu ary and the husband at that time did not have any intention of leaving her. But for the influ- ence of his brother-in-law and his own family amounting to moral duress, he and his wife, for aught that had then happened, might be living together now. The husband isa weak man and easily influenced, but as a true man he should have gone to his wife, as he had promised her. He abandoned her, however, without zood cause. The Court orders him to pay her $43.35 per month in advance. Services In Unclean Places. Judge Barclay to-day decided a case of some importance to domestic servants. Inthe suit of Ellis vs. Moore, the motion for new trial was overruled. The plaintiff, Ellis, sued for services rendered as a servant in the house of the Moore woman. There was no dispute about the services being rendered, but it was contended that the plaintiff could not re- cover because in the house where the services were rendered an immoral business was car- ried on and thé services of the plaintiff aided in promoting that business. Judge Barclay says: ‘‘The decisions on this subject are far from harmonious, but in Missouri the law now appears fairly well settled in a manner that seems more just thanthe rules declared in some other jurisdictions. In this State if a person does work or furnishes goods to an- other, the former may recover for the same though knowing that the same will be use for an immoral purpose, when the work done or the goods furnished are not so connected with the immoral and illegal business as to make the person furnishing the same a partic- ipant in such business or in its proceeds. Aservant in a house of ill-repute, who merely performs such duties as might lawfully be rendered in oy household ought not and is not precluded from recovering just compen- sation for labor done, simply because he or she may be fully aware of the nature of the business carried on there. On the other hand a servant whose employment might be to so- licit patronage for such a business could not recover because the work done was directly connected with the immoral enterprise. The line of distinction is drawn at the point which indicates whether the services as ren- dered are a part of the immoral business or are of such a kind as are innocent in them- selves, irrespective of the surroundings, The court sees no reasou for disturbing the verdict for the plaintiff. The Finley Habeas Corpus Case. Judge Seddon to-day decided the Finley habeas corpus case against the father. In a case similar to thisthe Supreme Court re- affirmed the well-known rule that in a contest for the possession of a minor child the welfare of the child is always the controlling consid- eration with the courts. Considering the wel- fare of the child, itis better in this case that she should remain whereshe is and be restored to her adopted mother. Itissoordered. The father’s petition is dismissed. A Dangerous Slot. Judge Seddon overruled to-day the motion for a new trial of the damage suit of Keitel against the Cable Railroad Company. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for $500 for damages sustained by reason of the plain- tiff’s buggy wheels falling into an open slot of the cable on Wash street. The Court sees no reason for disturbing the _ verdict. No authority was shown to make the danger- ous opening inthe street into which a buggy with a tire of ordinary size could fall, no con- tributory nezglizence was shown and the evidence entirely failed to show it. The motion for a new trial is overruled. Probable Cause. Judge Seddon to-day refused to set aside the non-suit in the case of Michael Canivan against the St. Louis Hansom Cab Company. Canivan, a hackman, was prosecuted in the Police Court for a violation of the cab-stand ordinance. In Judge Noonan’s court he was acquitted and he sued for damages. The plaintiff should have shown malice and want of probable cause for the prosecution in such a qgse, says the Court, and the evidence failed to show either. A conviction of a plaintiff in a lower court when obtained fairly and without fraud or any undue means is conclusive evidence of the existence of 8 cause for the prose- cution, thought the lower court may be reversed in a higher court and the plaintiff may be acquitted. A Palpable Bias. The Court of Appeals. to-day reversed the judgment for plaintiffin the suit of Stephen Damrill vs. the St. Louls & San Francisco Railroad Company. This was an appeal from the Greene County Circuit Court in a suit for value of a wagon and team demolished at a crossing of the highway and the railroad. The Court of Appeals reviewing the testimony finds that there was extreme negligence on the part of the driver of the team. There were 1888 developmens in the special findin of the jury showing a palpable bias, which should entitle the rail- road company toa reversal of the judgment. The lower court should have sustained the gouges: = demurrer to the evidence. Judge Lewis wrote the opinion. The Lindell Will. Judge Dillon to-day rendered a decision in the case of C. B. Chew and others against Sol- omon Boehm. The controversy involved con- struction of awill. The Court, after a careful perusal of the will, reaches the conclusion that Jessie G. Lindell intended to give all his prop- erty to his widow during her life, and also one-half the fee and the other alf, subject to the life estate in the widow, he ave to Lewis Baker and the others named in the willin the portion mentioned. The Court can discover no purpose iu the will to substi- tute one class of beneficiaries for another in the event of the first — in the lifetime of the widow. The petition is dismissed.

BILL NYE. How Young Cossacks Are Trained. From the London Times Russian Letter. A splendid idea was given of what the hardy Cossack race really is by two whole regiments, or twelve sotnias, of boys, about 1,400 strong, from 9 years up to 14, drawn for-the occasion from all the stan- itsas or settlements of the Cos- sack territory. Mounted on lean, shaggy native horses and wield- ing huge swords, bigger than themselves and lances eight feet long, they formed the most wonderful infant cavalry ever seen. These boys can already ride at a headlong pace, cling on to their stirru like monkeys and pick up handkerchiefs from the ound as they careen along. His Imperial eo ee £ who arrived at the saluting point at 10 o’clock amidst tre- mendous cheering, was greatly interested and amused by these Cossack youngsters as they rode by in lines of sotnias two deep, headed by their choirs, singing Cos- sack songs to the beat of tambourines. Their swords and lances were found rather too unwieldy for such children, so er were taken away just before the ride past. Marie Antvoinette’s Diadem in Buffalo.

The President of the Chicago, Burling- ton and Quincy Railroad in a communi- cation to the Iowa Railroad Commis- sion promises to observe the short- haul rule in transportation between points within the State of Iowa, but as- serts that ‘‘no more serious error could be made than the general adoption of the cost theory of railroad rates,’’ which he apparently assumes to be the cast-iron rule of the new interstate law. That law calls for nothing more than a reasonable reference to differences in cost of service, as one of the things justifying differences in railroad rates. But he takes the ground that the influence of distance on prices” should be eliminated altogether from railroad transportation, and that therefore cost of service should not enter into the regulation of rates, which should be fixed witha view of bringing all producers and all con- sumers nearer to each other.“ Even if we admit the extreme proposi- tion that railroads should be permitted to equalize the charge for transportation so that points near to market would have to pay as much as points remote, we would gono further than the short-haul provision does. But what the President of the C., B. & Q. complains of is that the law does not permit railroads to charge more for hauling 100 miles than for haul- ing the same load 500, 1,000, 3,000 miles or any greater distance. His proposition is manifestly prepos- terous. There can be no reasonableness or justice in railroad charges unless they are adjusted with some reference to the cost of service rendered. There can be no restraint upon or limit to unjust discrim- ination between points or between ship- pers if the amount and cost of service are not to be considered at all. To prevent unjust discrimination, and to secure a just and fair differentiation of charges for all shippers under substan- tially similar conditions and cir- cumstances’’ are the objects of the new law. If the ‘‘conditions and circumstances” are not such as relate to the carriage of the goods and cost of serv- ice, the whole purpose of the law will be defeated and the railroad will be permitted to charge one station or one shipper ten times the cost of service while charg- ing another station or shipper only one- tenth of the cost of service—making one set of producers and consumers pay for the services rendered to another set, as well as for the services rendered to them- selves. If railroad managers had not hardened their minds to this sort of injustice by long haléit they would not think of asking the public to indulge them further in abusing their power to regulate the busi- iness of the country according to arbitrary methods and in disregard of all known standards of value and all established measures of compensation.” — — — - AFTER the School Board had shown its inability to keep the finances in good con- dition there was no reason to expect it to develop that superior ability which is needed to put the finances in order after getting into trouble. The utmost that the Board is capable of is small cheeseparing | and experimental pottering with subordi- nate salaries when the least need of our public schools is a clean and vigorous sweep of old abuses and extravagances and a reconstruction and reform of the whole system. The result of the past twenty years of management is that the school funds have disap- peared, the school-houses have been located by ward bulldozing, the teaching organization represents organized favor- itism, and the system is maintained not to givea common school instruction to the children of the people, but to sell text books, drawing implements and music books, and to make grotesque experi- ments in pedagogy. for the benefit of cranks at the expense of the people. It is no wonder that a system of this kind should get into financial trouble; the wonder is that the people who complain of the system three hundred and sixty- four days in the year do not correct it when election day comes around. — Iv President Cleveland has the com- mon sense he is generally credited with he will not be deterred from coming to St. Louis by the noise which a few polit- ical cranks inside of the G. A. R. are mak- ing. And it is to be hoped that the G. A. R. will not be deterred from coming by the noise which a few Democratic cranks are making over the Tuttle and Des Moines outbreaks. The President will probably accept Gen. SHERMAN’S guarantee that the G. A. R. will meet him here without offering him the slight- est token of disrespect,andthe G. A. R. will see in the money already subscribed, as well as in the well-known hospitality of St. Louis, a guarantee that they will be most cordially received and entertained. She can be trusted to make it pleasant for both the President of the Republic and the Grand Army of the Republic. a ew, SunDAay laws that are kept on the statute books to be enforced but once in ten years or ten times in a century are pitfalls and nuisances. They are aggravating interruptions of the set- tled habits of the people, annoying inno- vations on accustomed habits of life. People who drink beer with the sanction of law all the rest of the week oannot have much respect for an obsolete statute which makes it unlaw - on Sunday. Where they have seen dram- shops kept open on Sunday contrary to law, but with the consent of the police au- thorities ever since they can remember, they naturally think it queer that the new-born eagerness to enforce the Sunday law should spring only from the repeal of a law favoring Sunday beer. Tur baneful activity of the pestiferous TUTTLE in his warfare . against St. Louis has been reinforced by the appearance of a superfiuous and otherwise harmless old gentleman of this city named HOLMES, who emerges from his obscurity to write a maundering letter against St. Louis as n Del city’? and to request that the Grand Army meeting be held elsewhere. Holurs has been for many years a harm- less contributor to the waste-paper bas- kets of many newspapers and it is quite refreshing to find that he has at last suc- ceeded in securing the doubtful favor of publicity in the columns of one Iowa newspaper. Nobody of sense will pay any attention to such utterances or give them any importance. 8 —— Ir is significant of the small-minded- ness and unfairness of the Tory news- papers in London that they should carp at the testimonial to GLapsTONE, which is to be presented to him on behalf of his American friends and admirers.

The Tory editors do not like it politically, but they give a poor impression of their sense of professional courtesy when they are unable to refrain from abusing it. — —— Ep —— Tur daily attendance at the races far surpassing all previous record, is merely one of the numerous evidences of that general prosperity which is a marked feature of the year, and of which St. Louis is getting her share. We may expect a similar increase in the attendance at the | Exposition, and the Fair, and the sub- | scriptions for the Trades Pageant and for the DTlumination fund should come in promptly. Taliapoosa Bill. From the Philadelphia Times. William E.Chandler is the best representative of the Republican sentiment in New Hamp- shire. He is one of the most cunning and un- scrupulous of political leaders, and his party is dominated by the narrowest political bigotry. They believe that the land belongs to the saints and that they are the saints. It was William E. Chandler who conceiyed the idea of the electoral burglary of 1876-7, and his State heartily approved it, believing that the end justified the means. Assuming that the Senator of a State should be a reflex of the people of the State, there is every reason why Chandler should be elected Sen- ator. While William E. Chandler is best known as a more artful an unscrupulous party leader, regarding party spoils and plunder as the supreme aim of political effort, he pos- sesses ability that will make bim a man of power in the Senate. He is thoroughly in- formed on all public questions and is emin- ently practical in ali his efforts. If he could elevate his low standard of statesmanship, he could readily rise above the average men ofthe Senate, but he is at war with all ideas of re- form, and he will be likely to play his old time role to the end. The Shoe on the Other Foot. From the New York WORLD. . If, asthe George theory maintains, the in- creased value of land due to the growth of population should be given up to the commu- nity, why should not the decrease in value occasioned by a loss of population be made up to the sufferers by an exodus? In other words, if the ‘‘unearned increment’’ belongs to society rather than to the individual, why should not the unmerited decrement be made good to those who lose by a decrease in popu- lation? There are thousands of places throughout the country where the land is worth less than it was five, ten or fifty years ago by reason of a loss of population. If people will leave landholders in the lurch in this fashion, and the increased values where they go are to be given to the community, should not a portion of the increment be given to those who, fhrough no fault of their own, have suffered a loss? Or is Mr. George’s rule one of the poor ones that wokks only one way? A Typical Blaine Man. From the New York Times (Rep.). Chandler is a really typical Blaine man. Able and skilful far beyond the average of politicians, cunning, not more heavily bur- dened with scruples and convictions than it is good fora Blaine man to be, talking much of the virtue of party loyalty, yet having all his leader’s fomdness for the gratifi- cation of political revenges, and firmly holding to the doctrine that the best principles are those with which it is easiest to win, he is a capital man to have at the head of the party when the State and the candidate’s character are both, doubtful. of these admirable qualities makes Mr. Chandler indispensable to the movement now so auspiciously started to secure the renom- ination of the Republican candidate of 1884. And the friends of that candidate are earnestly praying for his success in the New Hampshire Senatorial contest. Evading the Law. From the Springfield Republican. The Michigan railroads are jubilant over their scheme to evade the provisions of the interstate commerce law against rebates to large shippers. Grand Rapids has some of the biggest furniture factories in the country, and in order to give these shippers the same terms they had before the law the railroads assume the expense of trucking the raw stock and fur- niture between the factories and the freight depot; that is, the furniture companies main- tain their same big trucking teams and vans, but charge the expense of keeping them to the railroads. The latter declare that the law **‘cannot prohibit the railroads assuming extia burdens if they feel like it.’’ Machine Education. Exchange. Gen. John Pope will stir up a hornets’. nest in New England by his assertion, in the North American Review, that ‘‘during our civil war, the most tremendous convulsion that is re- corded in history, New England produced neither a great soldier nor astatesman of com- manding influence. The explanation which the General suggests of his alleged fact is that the tendency of the uniform education in New / ginta. The possession tons from a ‘ „ blighting genius and preventing individual development. Gen. Sherman and Tuttle. From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Gen. Sherman has this advantage over Gen. Tuttle, that he is a soldier and a gentleman, and the advantage is a very great one when its possessor is called upon to consider matters involving soldierly and gentlemanly principles of conduct. Gen. Sherman has expressed his opinion as to Gen. Tuttle’s threat that Iowa soldiers of the Grand Army would insult the President of the United States if he should venture to appear in St. Louis next fall in response to the invitation already extended to him, and there seems to be very little of Gen. Tuttle left. Tuttle said that the Iowa soldiers would ‘‘snu® and insult Mr. Cleveland.’’ Gen. Sherman says they will do nothing of the kind, and in support of his opinion offers to stake his life. But that is notall. Gen. Sherman is not only convinced that no soldier who fought for his country will insult the Chief Magistrate of his country, chosen by the people to represent the nation; he is equally firm inthe opinion that no soldier or citizen could do such a thing without show- ing himself to be wholly lost to all ‘sense of decency and propriety, and that is what all decent people thought and said when Gen. Tuttle’s threat was first published. Citizens and Potentates. From the Boston Herald. The Springfield Republican doesn’t like the idea of Queen Victoria's ‘‘commanding’’ Phillips Brooks to preach for her. Well, if Mr. Brooks chooses, he has the inherent American right of refusing to obey foreign potentates or any other kind of person. Yet if so estima- ble an old lady as is the Queen, and one held in such high respectand esteem by those about her, chooses to express a wish to hear our Boston preacher, he ought to consider it a compliment, even if she uses her accustomed form of speech in making it known. It is nothing like as bad a case as that which used to be reported (perhaps fictitiously) of John Randolph as Minister to Russia. The story was that he was asked to kneel to the Czar at areception. His reply was: ‘‘lam John Ran- dolph of Roanoke, afree-born citizen of Vir- I do not kneel to anybody but my God, and him not very often.’’ Cost of Opera. From the New York Sun. The seventy stockholders of the Metropol- itan Opera-house paid handsomely last season for theiramusement. It cost them $290,000 in salaries of artists, new scenery, dresses and other such expenses, while taxes, repairs, lighting, heating and sundries consumed nearly $155,000 more. The receipts from ad- missions and rentals were only a little over $235,000, leaving a deficiency of about $210,000, or $3,000 per share. In réturn each share- holder had his box for sixty-one performances, which is a little less than $60 per box for each performance. This is dear, but not too ex- travagant for so luxurious an entertainment as the opera; andthe general public, which paid only $ for the best seats elsewhere than in the boxes, profited by the outlay, and will be glad to have it repeated next winter. A Hint to a Fisherman. From the Albany Express. Every day of the President’s fishing—and Sunday as well—sees one-third of a million dollars added tothe Treasury’s hoard of un- expended money. The grim specter of bigh- interest rates and impending disaster is caus- ing uneasiness at every commercial center where the surplus question is understood. And yet the President shes on. Call a special session of Congress, Mr. President, to perform the pressing duty which the Forty-ninth Con- gress neglected! You will thereby catch a bigger fish than any trout which swims in the Saranac! A Good Symptom. From the Boston Herald. According toa New York Tribune Virginia correspondent, there was considerable break- ing upof the color line in the late Virginia local elections. The colored men voted the Democratic ticket more than ever before, and the Republicans received important accessions of white men’s votes. This is an encouraging symptom. There ought to be that in both parties which should attract men of the two races to their support. Such a state of things will be better for both of themand better for the country. The Sherman Fiasco. From the Boston Herald. The fiasco made by John Sherman in his Springfield speech becomes more apparent the wider are the responses it brings. It is one of the most lamentable cases of a lost opportuni- ty that we remember. The impression has -prevailed for some years that Mr. Sherman was fated never to be President, but few ex- pected that he would destroy, with his own mouth, such chances as were opentohim at quiteso a early a day in the preliminary can- vass. MEN OF MARE. THE Khedive of Egypt intimates that he has met Americans who were liars. GOV. RICHARDSON of South Carolina just recovered from a serious illness.

The case has elicited much attention and general satisfac- tion is expressed over the result. METRO) OLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATcH. NEW YORK, June M4.—The WORLD says: There is one important fact which it would be well for the anarchists to bear in mind—that is that whether they began this riot or not it is not wise for them to become responsible for any such disturbance. The people whose views constitute public sentiment in this country by a majority that amounts to practical unani- mity only want a good legitimate chance without interfering with free speech or any other rational conduct to strike at that de- graded and disgusting thing called anarchy in such a way that it will not lift its head here again outside of a mad house. All that has saved such fellows as Most from what they de- serve is the sensitive regard felt in this coun- try for that freedom which they abuse.“ THE su. The Sunsays: ‘‘The anarchists’ picnic in Weekawken on Sunday, was held to raise money for the condemned anarchists in Chi- cago. Asaresult oftne picnic three men at least were wourded with pistol bullets. Here we have the complete analogy of the anarchist party. Pretending to save life they destroy it. They start out r a thirst for liberty, andif their ideas should ever getthe upper hand, liberty would be murdered. The Goddess which must flourish wherever the human race prospers, and which of all countries abides most happily in this, would be atricken down and be forgotten if the anarchists should have their way. Noth- ing could equal their tyranny except their hatred of freedom. However, the number of people who wish to destroy their own liberties can never be very great. THE TIMES. The Times says: The fact is that the Ad- ministration has been guidedin its Treasury policy by a desire to protect the best interests of the country so far as was possible under ex- isting revenue and currency laws. For these laws, with their cast-iron requirements, the Administration is not responsible. They were on the statute books when the Administration took office.’’ THB TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘Certain Democratic journals seem to think that they can dispose of the Behring Sea question by raising a hue and cry about gy monopolies. They ac- cuse Prof. Henry W. Elliott, whose letters on this subject in our columns have attracted general attention from the American press, of writing in the interests of the Alaska Commer- cial Company. It is a question, ey assert, of an unscrupulous monopoly against the maritime rights of the world. This is the eas- lest possible way of avoiding the real issues of the case.

One Hundred and Seventy Mules Burned in the Mound City Railway Stables — Five Horses Lost at the Brewery— Causes of the Fires Unknown—The Dam- ages and [nsurance—No Delay in Travel. At 12:16 o’ clock last night, ag Police-Officer Houlahan was walking north near the corner of Jefferson and St. Louls avenues, he noticed a blaze issuing from the rear second-story window of the stable of the Mound City Street Railway Company, at St. Louis avenue ani Twenty-fifth street. Aware of the infiam- mable contents of that loft, which he knew to be filled with hay, and aware of the futility of any individual effort to subdue a con- flagration once started there, the officer lost no time in turning in an alarm from the box on Elliott avenue and Montgomery street. At the same time Officer McCarthy, who was mov- ing west on 8t. Louis avenue, noticed the blaze from the east. He ran to thealarm-box on the corner of Twenty-first and St, Louis ave- nue. He bad just opened the door when the ticker began to act in response to Officer Houlahan’s alarm. Both patroimen then started to the fire. The time passed in getting to the boxes and back to the stables was very brief, but short as it had been the flames had made such rapid transit through the tinder- like contents of the second floor that they issued in flaming sheets from every window. The usual crowd was rapidly 88 The adjacent saloons, which were just closing, sent their contingent of enthusiastic youths fullof curiosity and fire water, and they did good service. The officers and young strag- Klers dashed into the stables and did what they could to liberate the neighing and fright- ened animals. The tongues of flame were reaching from the windows and licking down- ward into the doors. They darted through the cracks in the floor and down the feed shafts and singed with sharp bites the crackling hides of the frenzied animals. But the men worked on. Most of the stock, about 275 head, were in pens containing some forty each. The. bars of these pens were let down and the beasts were goaded and driven with a view of getting them from the stables. Many ran, but the 22 in as awful terror of the threat - ening fires in front as the approaching ones behind, stood still until the sweeping flames smothered their dying yells. It was only a moment or two all told. Officer Keeshan had seen THE FIRST BLAZE . spring from the windows as he wason Grand avenue. He ran rapidly east toward the stable and had just passed the end of Lindell Park when such of the stampeding stock as esca went by him on the run. The engines were wheeling around the corners and the rattling reels were stringing their thin lines along the streets when he reached the stables. When the heat drove from the stables the men and officers who had been endeavoring to rescue the stock they turned their attention to saving the cars of the company, many of which 8 on the street imme- diately in front of the burning pile. These were run down the track and those in the sheds on the opposite side of St. Louis av- enue pushed as far as possible to the rear to protect them from the increasing heat, which was already blistering the paint on the cor- rugated iron of the shed. Two watehmen were on duty at the time of the discovery of the fire. hey were John Hellman and Archie McDonald. Heliman had just made his rounds sheds.

At the time ofthe gag | of the fire Mc- Donald was engaged in collecting the cash such of the cars as had in. Upon seeing the and i pid progress he at once n efforts to save the cars. Hillman was called to his assistance and the two soon were aided by the crowd that came in response to the arm. In thirty minutes the entire building was A TOTAL WRECK L CK. The north wall fell out into St.Louis avenue. The front portion of the roof came with it. The floor had fallen earlier, burying beneath i embers and hea char the bodies of the cremated mules. o east wall follow- ed, and then the other two came down in crumbling bits. — a corner where the office was and afew disconnected bits of ma- — stood to mark the limits of the build- ng. The fire department responded with its usu- al promptness. Luckily, no air to speak of was stirring. The heat was so intense, however, that it was evident tothe chief that the blaze would communicate with the adjoining propery, A second alarm was accordingivy turned in and all effort was directed to prevent a spread of the fire. The two-story brick dwelling to the west of and adjoining the stable, took fre, but was extinguished with a loss of about l This house was occupied and owned by Tim Donohue. His furniture was considerably damaged by water. When the fire was completely under control and it was plain that the stable building and contents were a total ioss, Superintendent James Scullin arrived onthe scene. He saw with some satisfaction that the sheds containing the twenty-five new cars re- cently built for the company were in- tact and that the new company buildi in process of erection on the east side o Twenty-tifth street was also without ess Mr. Scullin, assisted by his foreman, Mr. Murphy, immediately set about pre for the business of to-day. The fire had destroyed as — as could be estimated, 170 head o stock. It was known that 300sets of harness were also gone, and the large quantity of feed. The stables of the Jefferson avenue car line, which front on Jefferson avenue and join the Mound City stables at right angles in t were not damaged sheds in the vicinity, which were secured for the shelter of the stock, will be used until the stable can be rebuilt. Of the stampeded stock about fifty head have been re- turned, and it is expected more will be recovered. Some already found are so badly injured as to necessitate their being killed. The other stables owned by Mr. Sculfin were at once notified of the fire and enough stock loaned to the Mound City Com- pany to enable them to send out all their cars as usual this morning. Bu were in the mule market early this morning replenishing the decimated stalls of the company. The stable will be rebuilt at once. THB LOSSES.

For several days past stories have been going round about the midnight raids being made by body-snatchers on the dead laid to rest in the City Cemetery. The reports are be- lieved to be not entirely without foundation. For several years past the cemetery has been ina very neglected condition, the fences all having been broken down, and the self-ap- pointed sexton and ave-digger, a man named Gavis, is said be away from the place half the time. Hence the opportunity afforded for the stealing of bodies is most favorable, and there are good reasons for be- lieving that it has been taken advantage of to a considerable extent.

In this outfit the League champions opened the season of 1887 ov the home grounds before something over eight thousand people and were horri- |. Diy beaten by Pittsburg.

The Mets are drawing big crowds, and Wiman, who owns the Staten Island ferry, is the happiest man in Gotham. By an arrangement with the directors of the Chicago Base Ball Club, Capt. Ahson has com- plete control of the team, and no orders but his can be obeyed. All the blame and criti- cism that have been heaped upon President Spalding rightfully belong to the big captain. r. Spalding says that had he been in charge of the team he should have done different in many cases. Still, he has great confidence in his captain. A comparison of the work done by the League and American Association to June 1. as made by the Sporting Times, shows that the finest felding has been done by the League teams. St. Louis, who leads the Association, played nag = Steg games, had a total of 1,650 chances, while Detroit had a total of 1,436 chauces in thirty-one games. The total record of the two organizations show a general field- ing average of .009for the League and .908 for the Association. If both the League and American Associa- tion would make itaninducement for com- petent men to become umpires all the trouble over bad decisions and kicking on the field would be done away with. The low salary now paid to umpires is accepted with satisfac- tion by ball players who are no longer able to lay, and nine times out of ten they make a allure out ot it. Ifsufiicient money was of- fered, such men as Jonn Kelly and others would be induced to take the field. As it is now, both of the larger associations have but a poor lot of umpires. There is little doubt but that an umpire can make a game interesting or uninteresting by his decisions. Poor work on the part of the umpire will take the interest out of a game much soon- erthan poor playing. Spectators become dis- gusted at poor umpiring, and wheu an umpire becomes known as a poor judge, base ball lovers will not go tosee the games at which he istoofficiate. It is therefore the place of the larger base ball organizations to make it an inducement for competent men to become umpires. under the The Little Diamond.

While Tom Cribb was champion of England Oarter set up a claim to the titie, and traveled through the three kingdoms, giving sparring exhibitions as cham- lon. He even challenged Dan Donnelly, ut though there was a good deal of talk about a fight between them they never met ina ring as contestants. Cribb at the time had seen his best fighting days, and there were a good many who thought that he was nota bit anxious for a go with the Lancashire hero. However, after a while, Cribb resigned the title to his son-ia- law, Tom Winter, more commonly known as Tom Spring. Spring defended the title and belt success- fully against Bill Neatand Jack Langan, and to-day none but the old-timers and delvers in pugilistic lore are aware that sucha ‘‘cham- ion’’ as Jack Oarter ever lived. I don't mean to imply that Kilrain will pass into oblivion like Carter. Idon’t think he will, but while the big fellow remains apossible fixture in the ring Kilrain’s title to the championship will never be considered clear until he meets him and the vexed question of superiority between them is settled.

The 100-mile road. race at Crawfordsviile, Ind., was a loafing contest, and although the course was in perfect condition and every- thing favorable, the time would be a disgrace toamateurs. It was expected that a record would be made that would lower all Road others, American and English, but the result was a disappointment. It was due to the apathy of the manufacturers. The Star | people would not entera man; Gormully & _Jeffrey would not send Whittaker a light wheel, and he was too sensibie to pump a forty-pound wheel around against path-racing machines near! twenty pounds lighter.

Overman and Kennedy-Child of the Pope — ang Neil- scn claimed he was sick or something, and not able to run the 100 miles. Then Overman pro- posed to station him at the 75-mile post and have him catch the racers as they came by and make a record for twenty-five miles. But Kennedy was too cute. He claimed that was ary a acheme to a pace-maker or Rhodes and he kicked vigorously. At this Overman asked in some surprise: ‘‘Why, I thought pace- making would de allowed. The dliily- daliying continued until the starter put Crocker and Holiingsworth on the line and told Overman to bring up his man. To this Overman replied that he was not going to start anybody. He was told thatthe advertised time for starting had long passed and that if his man was not up in half a min- ute, the race would bestarted. So Rhodes was placed on the line. The start was atthe point of a V, each side of which is twenty-five miles in length. The riders rode to the end of the lett side and back to the point where the fifty-mile time was caught, and then on over the right-hand side, the Potato Creek road, finishin the 100 miles at the starting point. This arrangement concentrated all the sight-seers at the starting point. There was an immense throng of people present, as the start was only two miles from Crawfordsville and all sorts of conveyances were used to haul the people out. CROCKER SUNSTRUCK. The three men were sent off at 9:47, and left at a rattling pace which augured well for the promised record breaking. Orocker led ten miles out and then Hollingsworth went to the front for a short distance. It was Rhodes’ race from the word go. Cocker had broken the neck of his wheel Saturday, and it had to be patchedup by Dick Walker during Sunday. hen Hollingsworth mounted for the start, he found his wheel cracked in the neck and had to change to a heavy road machine which he used for the first fifty miles, after which he changed back to the broken light wheel on whose handles he could not putt hard because of the crack. Rhodes was in great luck from a machine standpoint. His 24-pounda, 59-inch track racer, on which he had been training for several days was sound as a dollar. Rhodes saw he had the race and didn’t hurry. The miles were covered so leisurely that when Crocker — the starting point on the way back 3 hours, 84 minutes and 55 seconds had been consumed. Rhodes was riding easily ? seconds behind and Hollings- worth 5 seconds later. All hope of record breaking was abandoned when this time was There was nothing exciting finish as Crocker re- a sunstroke on the last and Hollingsworth stopped forty minutes to rub him, so that he could finish. | Rhodes finished the 100 miles in the slow time | of 7:00:57. Crockércamein in 7:51 and Hol- lingsworth half a minute behind him. The sun was blistering hot and the arrangements for watering the men so bad that the racers several times went into farm- houses for water. George H. Hill of Boston started at 9:52 for the 50-mile American Safety record, and got it because there never was one before. His time was four hours twelve minutes. He was tended by Plumb of the Wheelmen’s Kecord, who sustained a singular accident. Hetook of ginger ale out to meet Hill on his handle- bars. a bottle and tied it away went the cork, covering Plumb with ginger ale and knocking him off his wheel.

NEW YORK, June 14.—There has been some comment among those advised of the facts because of the service to be held in Queen Vic- toria’s honor at 4o0’clock next Sunday after- noon at Oid Trinity Church. It is not the pe- culiar character of the service itself, or of any of its special features, which makes the event a noteworthy one. Its importance is entirely due to the fact that a large body of the Episcopal clergy of the metropolis of the American republic will assemble ia their prin- cipal church edifices in the city to honor Great Britain’s sovereign onthe day preced- | ing the fiftieth anniversary of her corenation. The movement to bring this about seems to have had its inception among the Englisu resi- dents of the city and to have been carried for- ward subsequently with the help of some of the Episcopal clergy of English extraction. They have, however, found no difficulty in enlisti the services of their Amer- rethren. A of those who remain with Bishop Potter at their head, officiate within the chancel of Trinity. The programme arranged will follow the same order as that laid down for the usual afternoon services with the exception of the sermon, which will be devoted to eulogizing the Queen. The only innovations will be in the character et the music. This will include the ringin English battle airs on the chimes before the services commence and a prelude of the same character on the organ. God Queen, with Renk es variations will played as an offertory after the sermon by As- sistant-Organist Baier, who will also furnish a tlude which will de national in its charac- r.

STEERE. Sensational Developments in the Providence | Court of Common Pileas—The Plaintiff's Startling Confession Made in Open Oourt —A Trick Roller Skater’s Scheme to Blackmail a Wealthy and Respectable Man. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disrarcen. Provipencs, k. I., June l4.—Very sensa- tional developments were madein the Court ofCommon Pleas yesterday morning in the cases of Henry Gardiner vs. Henry J. Steere, an action in which $5,000 damages were de- manded on account ofan alleged criminal as- sault. The case has attracteda great deal of attention because of the very antipodal posi- tions which the complainant and defendant occupy. Gardiner is a trick roller skater, and was formerly a newsboy on the several roads running out of Providence. He is 18 old. Mr. Steere is one of the richest and most respected citizens in Providence. Mr. Steere’s father was a sad- dle- maker, and had quite a debt owed him, for which he took a quantity of American Screw Company's stock, which was then way below, butina few years had just such a boom as the teledhone stock had. This property came to Mr. Steere, who has invested wisely and well since, the most noted of his investments being the purchase of the entire Sprague in- terests in the Union Horse Railroad Company, which Sprague’s trustee closed out below the market price. Mr. Steere now owns the majority of the railroad stock. He is also a heavy owner in the Wanskuck Mill, and is President of the City Savings ank, director in the Glgbe National Bank, he Hospital Trust Oompany and the Fifth jational Bank. He bas proved himself a pub- o benefactor of no little note, having built a\ chapel for the Beneficent Congregational ch, in which he placed a fine organ. He iven an entire estate and valuable fur- nished house to the Home for Aged Men. He is a prominent member of the Y. M. C. A. and be- longs to numerous other associations. He gives liberally to all charities, public and | * vate, and isa man the eity could ill afford to lose. He is a single man, and has elegant homes in Providence and Nayat. He owns the schooner yacht Republic, havipg had her built for his personal use. ’ THE ASSAULT CASE. In this suit for assault, which has been in the courts since last summer, Mr. Steere was rep- resented by Messrs. Vanslick & Robinson. The plaintiff's counsel was Thos. F. Cosgrove. When Judge Tillinghast took his seat on the berch yesterday and called the case, the counsel were present and Mr. Cosgrove was absent. To the surprise of those present, Har- ry Gariner, the plaintiff, arose and, address- ing the court, said: ‘‘Your honor, I don’t wish to go 1 further with this case. It has been a fraud from the start. I know of no way of getting out of it except by coming here aud making this statement.’ GARDINER’S CONFESSION. The court allowed the case to stand until Saturday, when it will be disposed of. Gardi- ner made the following coniession: ‘‘I went into this case justas others have before me. It’s ascheme that is worked every day all over the country and against rich men. The scheme is that of blackmailand is worked by a rogue and a lawyer. The odds are that the man will settle before the case gets to court.“ Was there ever anything between you and Mr. Steere which would give you even a Desis for this suit?’’ „Not a thing, so far as Mr. Steere is con- cerned? I had been thinking this matter over, and after asking some friends who would be the best lawyer to go to I was directed to see Mr. Cosgrove. I started with the intention of fastening this scheme upon Mr. Steere, but 1 never intended to go into court with it. I was willing to take all risks up to that int. Mr. Cosgrove said to me when laid my before him, that I would have the case somewhat stronger. I refused to make such a claim and then he told me of apother plan. This was when Mr. Steere showed fight and had his counsel, Mr. Robinson, ask fora bill of particulars. Mr. Cosgrove kept sending letters to my house asking me to come to his office. I began to fear that we were getting into the wrong box and I don’t know but what we are to be nailed now.’’ »What money were you looking for?“ 93 Boo? thousand dollars. I was to have „500. How were you to substantiate your case?“ Jas to get some young fellows who were to stand in with me. Did you get any witnesses?’’ AFRAID OF HIS RECORD. No; I did not. I did not intend to go into court, because I knew that Detective Parker had been looking up my record from boyhood, and that if he gor into court he would give me away badly. never stole anything, but I have been ip scrapes more or less.

Iasked him for money to - Then I made up my mind that 1 would rather stay here and do a term than to go away and never be able to come back for fear that I would get arrested and put to trial. What, ifanything, was you as to the newspapers?” FIXING THE NEWSPAPERS. Oh, Cosgrove said that he would attend to them. He told me he did not want me to see the reporters, and that he would work the ‘biuffs.’ Iwent home and stayed there two weeks, and that was the time he said I had gone to Syracuse.’’ Did you ever make any demands upon Mr. Steere for money or did your counsel?’ ‘*‘T never did, and alll know as to what Mr. arranged between S did was that he began the suit for the Lawyer Cosgrove denies emphatically the statement made by young Gardiner. He says that Gardinercame to him the same as any client would, stated his case and asked that a suit be brought. He was always ready to try the case and would have done so. The case was to have been tried in December, but Mr. ~ eos Sy counsel was away and it was con- tinued. The Wonder of the Day.

The Brisk Movement in the Iron and Steel Trade. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcu. PITTSBURG, June 14.—The demand for iron and steel is still great, considering the im- mense quantity that has been turned out in this country in the last year. Generally at this time there is a falling off. The men don’t care to work much in the three months to come and the manufacturers use the time in making repairs. - This year is an exception. Orders are still coming in, itis safe to say, at the rate of 600 tons a day.

A ber defendant's. SADNESS AT SAGE COLLEGE. The Fatal Mishap to Miss Mary Bartlett Hill, One of the Students, B Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. Irmaca, N. T., June 14,—Miss Mary Bartle tt Hill of Jamestown, N. T., a member of the Freshman class of Sage College, Cornell Uni- versity, slipped and fell to the bottom of Cas- Cadilla Gorge Sunday afternoon, suffering injuries that resulted in her death at 2 o’ clock yesterday morning. Sunday morning Miss Hill, in company with the Rey. Dr. Rubinkam of Jamestown, who was paying her a visit, and a student friend of the Sophomore class, George E. Danforth, also of Jamestown, started for the church in the village. After the services the party decided because of the great heat of the day to return to Sage College by a more direct path than the usual route—a — which runs alongside of Oascadilla Tae through shady groves. The path is wide The gorge enough for only one rson. is from 100 to 200 feet deet deep, with precipitous and almost perpendicular sides. he bottom of the guilyis of rock. Miss Hill, with her two companions, started along this path. After climbing for some distance they stopped to rest at a point near oppo the Upsilon Chapter House. Miss Hill had her back tothe ravine and was conversing with her escorts when suddenly the ground beneath her, which had been loosened by rains, gave way and she plunged backward into the gorge and disappeared from view. Her companions, at first stupefied with horror, hastened to the bottom of the ravine. There they were sur- prised to find Miss Hill sittingon the rocks and dipping up water from the stream and bathin her head. She had escaped instant death, bu had suffered mortal internal injuries. MISS HILL’S COMPANIONS tenderly lifted her to her feet and carried her a short distance, when they were joined by other students with an improvised stretcher. and with this they managed to carry her to the top. A carriage in waiting took her to Sage Coilege, where her injuries were dressed. It was believed that Miss Hill's only injuries were the fracture of a rib and some bruises. She requested thatthe news of the accident be not given to the newspapers, as her mother was very ill at Jamestown, and to hear of her daughter’s mishap might affect her unfavora- bly. Toward sunset, however, Miss Hill began to sink and it soon became evidént that she had suffered internal injury of a very serious nature. Her condition continued to grow worse and at 2 o’cleck this morning she breathed her last. Miss Hill's death is a s8e- vere shock to the students. On Saturday she had been with the young women students of Sage College on an excursion down the lake and participated heartily in their merriment. She was a girl of rare attainments and studious habits. She secured one of the Sage scholar- ships for womenatthe competitive examina- tions heid in September, and was universal beloved and respected. Her death will shroud commencement week in even deeper loom than that occasioned by Mrs. White's eath. The place where the accident occurred is jagged with sharp rocks and covered with underbrush. Her clothes were torn off on her right side. In her suffering Sunday at Sage College she showed great resignation and cheerfulness. She had hoped to start for home on the early train in order to convince her mother that the accident was not serious. It is feared that the shock occasioned by the daughter’s death will kill the mother. Miss Hill was 17 years old and exceedingly pretty. She was graduated last year at the James- town Union School. The funeral will take place in Jamestown on Weduesday. Cascadilla Gorge is one of the most pict- uresque spots in Central New York. It runs from the high plateau on which are situated the college buildings down to the shores of the beautitul Cayuga Lake. The splendid resi- dence of Mrs. Fiske, born Jennie McGraw, overlooks it—in fact, one of the sides is built down into the gorge. She saw the house but once a few days before her death. Almost at once after her marriage she went abroad in vain ursuit of health and the house was built in erabsence. Returning to Ithaca when all hope was gone she was driven past it in her carriage, but was never inside of it. — SOLITAIRE DIAMONDS. Ear-rings. Studs. Collar Buttons. Sleeve Buttons. Lace Pins.

BAR HARBOR’S BOOM, A Great Land-Craze at the Popular Maine Resort. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. Bak HaRBOR, Me., June 14.—There is a great land-craze at this popular resort and building lots are selling at fabulous prices. Among the ‘men interested in this ‘‘boom’’ are the Hon. J. G. Blame, United States Senator Hale, Judge Emory of the Supreme Court of Maine, and others, including several prominent bust ness men and politicians of Augusta and Portiand. In conversation with a prominent land-broker of this place I learned many interesting facts which may cast consider- able light on the present real estate craze here. This gentleman went buck to the eally history of the island and cited many im- ortant facts concerning the grant of uis IV. of France to De La Motte Cadillac of the Island of Mt. Desert. All the present titles to real estate, he said, ‘‘can be traced back to the original heirs of Cadillac, and at this time, when land is so valuable, 1 title is worth the np 7 a Continuing he said: ‘‘The old settlers now liv- ing no doubt look back with a feeling of deep regret on lost opportunities. A Ile hundred dollars wisely invested ten ears ago would have made the appy possessor a millionaire to-day. Why think of it. A few years ago only I was offered 150 acres of land here fronting on Main street for the small sum of refused to buy, because I theught at the time $600 was too much money to pay forafew old rocks and stumps. To-day you cannot buy the same land under per square foot. About twenty — ago the tract of land which .extends om Cromweli’s Harbor to Great Head was heavily wooded, and the owner wanted to sell me the entire strip at the low rate of 25 cents per acre. being then a fond disciplé of Horace Greeley did nottake up the offer, but instead took $40 and went West. All of this land is now sellingas high as owe per acre. Lands situated near Otter reek, once thought worthless by their owners except for pasturage, are selling for trom $3,000 to $5,000 per acre.’ How ong do you think this craze will last? Will these lands now estimated at such enor- meus pe continue to retain their present Vv ue * ‘*Ithink,’’ said he, that the majority of lands now being place on the market at prices far above their real value, and which are remote from the village of Bar Harbor, will in the end gradually decline in value as the pre- sent craze subsides.’’ KNEEB PANTS are short! them at Famous.

George Anderson, a stately and digni- fied Othello, over whose classic brow the snows of sixteen dreary winters have wasted their fury, and Hattie Carter, a coy and blushing maiden, who has seen the hg flowers blossom into fragrant beauty for forty-five gorgeous spring- times, were united in the brittle ties of wedded infelicit last week in the front yard of Mr. Louis Crozier. This was truly a union of love on the part of the chocolate-hued damsel, for George wooed her untrammeled by any other induce- ment to win her young, confiding heart than those suggested by a well-developed physique, rendered tensely muscular by oft repeating pulls on the bell line guiding some refractory mule across a cotton patch.

FAMOUS. Unappreciated Kindness, From the Sacramento Record. A kind-hearted citizen yesterday ob- served a bird in distress in one of his trees, the feathered specimen having got his legs entangled ina piece of string that was attached to one of the branches. It wasa member of the “tough” family of birds known as a butcher bird, with a lik- ing for the sport of killing canaries in their cages, gathering into camp the fledglings from nests found in his rambles, etc., but the citizen didn’t know that, and thought it was a ‘‘nice little bird.” He procured a ladder, carrying it a considerable distance, and after — trouble and tearing of clothing succeeded in rescuing the bird, which rewarded him for his k — A sping one of his meg ers in its bill aa cutting it he bone. Ina a fit of absent-mindedness the kind-hearted citizen separated Mr. Butcher’s head from his body and ex- ‘pressed a hope that he might go toa country of perpetual warm weather if he ever did a decent act again.

They Are Not All Angis, Though All are «Plucky and Some are Very Wealthy. ; From an Interview with Theodore Roosevelt. There are women all over the West who have come to be as thoroughly a- pable of managing their affairs for them- selves as if they were the shrewdest of men. Fortitude and patience we always look for in a woman, but cool bravery business talent are the qualities that sometimes come out 8 est when fer herself facing a rude civilization and ft 2 shift for herself as best she ape Life on the ranch is desperately rough 35 au woman. There is no call to — lt pioneer of the other sex, for if he has right stuff in him it won’t hurt him to buckle right down to the bone, an he can’t but succeed. But fora w ; to an Eastern, at least, it seonts diff * And 2 so far as one can y like “being? many of them, and out thé best that is in them. They are not all angels * any means, and a woman desperado is sometimes uite as much to be feared as the worst of the men. There was one down in Arizona whom the ranchmen tell tales of yet, with somethin ne like pride in her exploits, too, who killed, so they ony twenty-five men with her own hand. She was a hard rider and a crack shot, so that it was d dee risky to be coverep by her rifle. But that same pluck and courage that she showed turned into more peaceful channels makes a splendid success of some of the ranchwomen. 3 women who are managing cattle — — for themselves, not helping their husbands gain a footing, whieh is some- times about as hard, come from all social ranks and have drifted into the busmess—1 don’t know what proportion of them have deliberately chosen it—in all sorts of ways. Some of them are Texans who were almost cradled with cattle, and to whom dagger a mower, feeding stock, breakin horses or doing any sort of work a — a ranch isso much a matter of education and habit thatit seems as much their nat- ural occupation as taking in sewing to a notable housewife ieft a widow in an Eastern village. They take hold cleverly with their husbands if they marry; they strike out for themselves on a small "scale, which sometimes grows to a larger one, if if they don’t. **Other N especially in Da- kota, come from New England, ew York or the States north of the Ohio. There are school-teachers among them who have concluded to train something that may possibly shoot more profitably than the unfruitful you ng idea. Most. of them went est in the i first place with their husbands to see what could be done ina new county, and when the man of the family died or broke down the wife, rather than sacrifice the foothold already gained, stayed on, learned by ex- perience, bought er knowledge pretty dearly sometimes, failed utterly perhaps, if the winters were bad or a fire swept her buildings, succeeded more probably, kept her stoc ‘in good shape, added to their numbers and came out ahead a littleevery ear. **Success is graded, of course, as else- where. The women ranchers whom [ know personally—and that is no very large number—are not in the business on a — esvale. Some of them are not ranching astern 12 — with their ideas of the —— of Western operatious, interpret the word at all. They have no more than six or ten cattle, perhaps, and from that — number will run up to twenty-five or head, but they are an energetic and — ess-like set o women, who are work- ing industriously in the day of small things, and, of course, with some, though ase with no large number of others, he day of larger things has alréady come.’ IN advance of the unhealthy season regulate and strengthen your system.

Kate Cobb, the Norwich woman, is serving a life ‘sentence in the State prison, as is also Bishop, who killed his wife to make the way clear for getting Kate, who killed her husband in order to get Bishop. Both are now life prisoners. Kate is a tall, muscular woman, rather spare in ties). She has a ruddy glow upon her cheeks; her short, dark hair is parted in the middle and puffed at the sides. During the late visit cf the Board of Pardons at the prison they had a hard day’s work in ex- amining the long list of petitioners who had asked for pardon, and Warden Cham- berlain courteously invited the members to dine with him. Kate Cobb, dressed in a bright blue and light spotted gown with asnow-white apron, waited upon the ta- ble. She was perhaps 40 years of age, would have been noticed anywhere as a woman of marked character. Her move- ments were quick} and her duties were performed with nicety.

Geiden Put on Trial in the United | States Courts To-Day. The trial of the election fraud cases specially get for hearing at this term commenced in the United States District Court to-day. Cases notepecially set as stated in the PosT-Dis- PATCH yesterday will not be called until the November term of the court. There was a lar attendance in the court-room this morning andthe greatest interest was mani- fested in the proceedings. The greater por- tion of the forenoon was occupied with the selection ofa jury, and there were numerous A petit juror from the county was excused for asserting that he had no faith inthe jury system, and that all men mixed up in election frauds should suffer the extreme penalty of the law and dangie ut the end of a rope. The first case called was that of Patrick F. Golden, familiarly knows as Paddy Golden, who indicted under section 5,512 Sor foreine sixty names on the registration books in the Tenth Ward. Golden was one of the revisers at work on the Egan books. He is defended by John H. Overall and C. H. Krum, District-Attorney Bashaw, Colunels Broadhead and Dyer appearing for the Goy- ernment, THE JURY. A jury was selected for the trial composed as follows: Cassius C. Kendall, Geo. W. Pipe, Ernst Peugnet, J. G. Kallemeier, W. C. Dyer, g. J. Campbell, G. 8. Merrill, Thos. Hughes, % V. L. G. I. Allen, Henry Thompson, Leo Doyle and J. M. Hudson. The first witness called for the prosecution was Ex-Recorder Hoblitzelie, who furnished formal proof as to the system of registration. F. W. Wiesebabn was next called to the stand, and the defense entered an objection to his tes- timony. He was shown a piece of paper with a mame written upon itand was asked whether it was in the handwriting of Golden. This led to an inguiry as to his knowledge of Golden’s handwriting and he testified that he saw Golden attach his signature to the bond in the office of the clerk after his arrest. A long discussion ensued and it was not finished until a few minutes be- fore the recess hour. The Court ruled that if Mr. Wiesehabn had seen the signature of the defendant and while it was fresh in his mem- ory he had compared it with the names in the registration books his testimony on that sub- ject was admissible.

The discrease in acreage of winter wheat is given as — 2 per cent. which would give in acres about 494,000, and make the total acresge 24,228,000 The condition is 84.9 per per cent at the summer. The change, would there- 0 11.6 bushels per acre, or a total of 280,986,000 bushels, against 306,- 614,000 bushels of winter wheat last year. The increase in area of spring wheat is equal to about 722,000 acres, making the total area 12, - 759,000 aeres, against 12,087,000 acres last year. At the time of harvest in 1886 the condition of per acre, 2.5 last year. The production on the ru- mored acre would amount to 178, 522,000 bu, against 160,462,000 bu last year. The total crop would, therefore, amout to about 454,500,000 bu, against 457,218,000 bu last sum- mer. The above res are, of course, based on the idea that there will be no change in condition, but there is time enough now to change the result 50,000,000bu. It will be en- tirely a matter of weather. The pres- ent conditions are, however, very good. —-~There must have been a wildly excited scone in the wheat pit ou the Chicago Board of Trade this morning. The report that the Board’s attorney had rendered a decision to the effect that grain in cars on track or in vessels in harbor at Chicago could be declared regular for delivery on contracts, demoralized the market and brought + 4 such a flood of wheat that a mendous break was the result. July led off, opening steady at 88, and immediately dropping, without even 1-J6c, reaction, to &lc, and soon afterwards fell to Fe, while June broke to Se by 12 o’ clock, 100 below yester- day’s close. There was great rejoicing in St. Louis over this tumblein price, as the local crowd have been, and are still, very bearish and Have been playing the short side both here and in Chicago. A private telegram from Chicago stated that the clique were be- lieved to be selling July wheat this morning and that there had been trouble between the clique and their brokers. Other messages re- es Rosenfeld as buying a little June, but he only demand for July Oy Nr shorts. Telegrams to Francis on the break in the market were: There is just a littie cessation in the panic in July wheat. Almost impossible to get quotations on June,éhere being no trad- inginit. The crowd believes that there was an 2 interview between Wiltshire and brokers at the Richelieu last night. The clique are now protecting June wheat at prices ranging between doe and 900. This shows that the clique have not abandoned the field. The actual broker speaks very confi- dently of the situation, thus: ‘‘The price is simply let down to a lower range because of the heavy receipts which are forced in here by the shorts and the bears. There is nothing alarming about the situation and collapse.’’ It was also rumored there had been a run on the Fidelity Bank in Cincin- nati. This was not so, however. A gentleman who has been in Chicago for some time says the clique seem to have unlimited funds at their command. The banks have only ad- vanced 70c a bushel on the cash wheat, it is claimed, the clique have deal of the cash wheat receipts in their own safe. It is also said they have asked for 5,000 cars to ship out wheat to New York.——Lohrke, New York, to R. S. McCormick & Co.: European sellers pressing on market. Crop prospects favor - able. Wheat declining. India ship- ments increased 660 ,000 bu. for United Kingdom and continent.’’——Chicago to Fath, Ewald & Co.: It the clique are forced to let go, July will sell below 780 in this market. Traders are nervous and the market does not show much signs of reacting. There are rumors of impend- ing failures, and doubtless a good many lame ducks are be found around the Board.’’——Withal the bearish proclivi- ties ofthe St. Louis traders, there are very few who have pulled out good profits from the decline. Most of them have covered on small breaks, putting out lines again, but not standing by them very long. J.C. Ewald hus shown great nerve in selling, and so far he is known to have not cov cred a bushel, so that his profits must be quite comfortable. Another ‘‘merry’’ trader, who was not run ashore by the ad- vance ot some time ago, but who sold then and has since added heavily to his line is Henry Vogelsang. He stands to win a good large lump, and deserves it for his pluck. Outside of these two it is doubtful if much money has been made by St. Louis. ——A St. Louis broker had a ‘‘put’’ on 100,000 — 4 wheat in Chicago at 880 for to-day. It he had waited till the lowest price was reached before he pought «against. this put he could have made $19,000, which for $100 invest- ment was fair.— Business was practically suspended on Change during the heavy breu in Chicago wheat, everybody gathering in an | ing del. ; pearl meal, $2.50@2.60; its and hominy, $2 .70@2.80 Hay dull and weak, excépt for the timothy, which was — under a fair de- mand.

A brisk demand was had from butchers, city retailers and interior shippers, and before noon the bulk of the offerings had been sold and the market closed at an early hour steady at the — ton RULING QUOTATIONS—Good to choice native shippers, $4.25@4.50; fair medium, $4.00@4.25; common, I. 758. 85; butchers’ steers, fair to choice, $3.65@4.2%0;common, $3.50@8.60; cows and beifers, fair to choice, $2.60@3.65: com- mon, $2.30@2.35; feeding steers, $8. @4.00; stockers, $2.50@3.65; native bulls, $2°00@2. 75; veals, calves, $@10. 8 ar wi 1 at 18@19%.

That clique appealed to Field-Lindlby, who agreed to carry the deal with proper margins, but would not corner the market. This leaking out caused the smash. Itis said that the clique are still looking for some one to carry the deal for them. ’’——Rosepfeld, one of the principal clique brokers, threw up the sponge to-day and ordered his trades closed. This caused the last break in the market, when June sold 18%c lower. Wheat—There was wild excitement in the market this forenoon consequent upon a most terrific break in Chicago. Advices from that center indicated the cliqtre were having a very hard row to hoe,they having butted their heads against a law decision declaring cars and vessel-room regular for grain deliveries that knocked them silly. Other rumors of trouble between clique principals and brokers, ofalack ofthe needful coming for margins and of financial banking trouble only added to the demoralization.

Ne Ar gin calls and with the anicky condition of the market the price was nominal. When Rosenfeld’s failure was announced the scenes that followed can better be imagined than described. Any price was accepted on June or July. The market closed excited and July a little less wild. On fewer hogs and higher prices, the market for ribs was buoyant this morning, but it was not strong enough to hold against the depres- sing influence of the drop in grain. or a time nothing was done. The supreme interest in the wheat pit overshadowed the market. The closing was easy on both ribs and lard.

The Police Board will have considerable business before it at this afternoon’s meeting. In the first place, City-Counsellor Bell's opinion in regard to the provisions of the Sun- day law willbe presented and acted upon. Then the case of Officer George Leopard comes up. He demands pay for the time he was suspended awaiting the result of his trial inthe Criminal Court on a charge of receiving bribes from lottery men. Anolle prosequi was entered in the case, and when Leonard demanded his back pay the Board decided to sift the charges. There are also charges to be tried against, seven other officers. Five patrolmen of the Fifth District, Louis Hullfish, Davis, Coleman, Powers and Giibane will be tried for neglect ofduty. They are accused of leaving their beate during working hours. Officer Heath of the Central District is accused of sleeping on duty, and Officer Jobn J. Callahan of the Fourth District is charged with insulting a cit- igen by calling him a liar. Murdered by Prejudice. Thousands of men die every day who might be saved. Prejudice has murdered many a man and woman. If it were believed that the gum of disease could be reduced by physic much would be gained. The nightmare of death would not frighten us as it does. In our modern civilization we ought reasonably to expect disease to settle upon us because we do go much to attract it; because we so often and so steadily expose ourselves to it. At the game time we all ought to understand, as a part of our rudimentary education, that to save ourselves from the effects of such expos- ure some kind of fortification should be built around our vital forces lest the enemy carry . as it were, by a sudden onslaught, For ny years the unprejudicea have used BRANDRETH’S Pes in this way and they have proved a most effective wall against the ap- proach of disease. Stop the dally murders— we had almost said suicides—by using these Pills. They speak for themselves—as they act. When everything else has failed BRANDRETH’S Pils have saved lives. They are to be had at every drugstore. AN EARLY MORNING “MASHER” Fined in the Police Court by Judge Cady This Morning. Charies Reinhardt, aged 19, was before Judge Cady this morning on a charge of ‘*mashing.’’ Mrs. Theresa Meisner, 4 mar- ried lady about 80 years of age, living at No. 909 South Third street, testified that at 4:45 o’clock yesterday morning she was on her way to work when Reinbardt commenced whistling and calling to her. He asked her where she was going, and sbe asked himif he knew whom he was n He insisted on accompanying her and she ran to the corner of Third street and Market and got ber husband. Reinhardt was on Market near Fourth street by this time, and when he saw Meisner coming ran down Fourth street to Walnut, where he was evertaken and capt- ured by Meisner. Officer Wolffcame up and the young man was turned over to him. This morning Reinhardt admitted saying ‘*good mogning’’ to Mrs. Meisner and asking her where she was going, but claimed he thought he knew her. Judge Cady fined him $10.

The Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Com- puny the Beneficiaries — The Efforts of Several Years Crowned With Partial Sac- cess—The Bill Only Needs the Signature of the Mayor—In Its First Shape the Measure Was Declared Unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court—Protesting Property-Owners. The passage by the Municipal Assembly of the bill to vacate Papin street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, was called to the at- tention of the public on Saturday by the pub- lication in the Posr-Disraron of the protest to be sent to the Mayor by the owners of ad- jaceat property. For several years efforts have been made to obtain the condemnation of this street. All of these efforts have been solely in the interest of the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company, which owns the property on either side of the street, and which desires only this connecting link to make its stretch of territory unbroken. There were strong efforts made last winter to push this same bill through the Municipal Assembly, but it stuck in the Council. This spring the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Company has been more successful. The bill has been worked through both branches of the Assembly and now needs only the signature of the Mayor to make it a law. Against the signing of the bill the owners of property on Papin street have entered a pro- test. THIS BILL is one of the worst pieces of special legisia- tion that ever went through the Municipal Assembly. There is no _ public benefit whatever to be gained by closing the street and no claim that any public benefit would accrue from its closing. It is a bill for the re- lief of the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company and might be very appropriately so- called. The Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company owns property on either side of Papin street which it is to the advantage of the company to have connected, The company at present occupies most of the street, which has been practically given up to it by the failure of the city authorities to keep itclear. Two years ago a bill vacating the street in the interests of the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Company passed both branches of the Municipal Assembly and was signed by the Mayor. The object of the bill was distinctly , and it was provided that the Shick. & Howard Company pay to the city , 000 for thé improvements made by the city in the way of paving, curbing, etc. The owners of property on Papin street tested the law and the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri de- clared it unconstitutional on the ground that the city had no right to sell a public street to a private individual or corporation. On Nov- ember 30, 1886, ED Fox in the House of Delegates Similar to the bill recent- ly passed. It provided in one short sentence for the vacation of Papin Street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets. The bill had its second reading December 3 and was re- ferred to the committee. The owners of Papin street property appeared before this commit- tee and entered astrong protest in person and through their attorney. ‘he attorney argued that the question to be considered was not whether the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Com- pany would be benefited by the passage ofthe ordinance or whether the city would be benefited by encouraging thelr manufactory, but whether the Municipal Assembly had the power or right to pass the ordinance. To make this law would be to take public property heid by the city in trust for public use and convert it to the private use of particular persons. By the laws of the State, plats recorded vest in the city the fee of parceis of land intended for public use in trust for the uses named and for no other use or purpose. The Scheme and Charter says that a member of either house of the Assembly who shall know- ingly vote for, assent to or assist in the dispo- sition of any money or property belonging to the city t any other than the specified use or purposefor which this money or property shail have been received or appropriated shall, on conviction, be punished by imprison- meat, etc Papin street was dedicated for public use by the owners as a public highway forever. Tue city accepted it and improvea it. Itisa trust property and held by the city for public use. The power to vacate is like the power to condemn—it must be exercised for public and not for private use. There was not and is not now any public de- mand for the vacation of Papin street. The demand is made by one party for that party’s private benefit. ANOTHER ARGUMENT urged against the bill was that the residents of Papin street had a vested right to pass on Papin street to Twelfth street to reach the line of cars there built partly tor their conveni- ence. The protestors urged that the bill was altogether for private benefit, and while it was not so stated in the bill, it was known to the members of the Assembly, and they could not ignore the fact Ordinance 12,547, which stated that purpose on its face, had been held by the courts to be null and void. The strony protest made before the com- mittee availed nothing. The bill was reported favorably. A fight was made on it in the House~but Ed Fox and his crowd worked to- gether and on February 25,1887, it was ordered to enurossment and passed. It went to the Council, but relieyed of Mr. Fox and his sup- port it failed there. At the meeting of the present Municipal As- sembly the Papin street bill was one of the first introduced in the Council. It was passed by the Council after a brief discussion aguinst the protests of property-owners. It went to the Hiouse of Delegates, where no difficulty was placed in its way anda week ago it went to the Mayor. Yesterday a remonstrance against it was filed with the Mayor. If the Mayor should sign the bill it will probably be contested as unconstitutional by the property- owners. introduced a bill A SHIPPER’S SAY. With the New Wheat — The Clique’s Puarpose.

PrrrspurG, Pa., June 14.—For years the Church of the Holy Name on Troy Hill, Alle- gheny, of which the Rev. Mr. Mollinger has deen paator for more than twenty years, has been a place to which the aillicted of all de- numberless cures which have been ascribed to the intercession of St. Anthony have caused the fame of the church to spread to every the country. esterday was the feast day of the patron saint. For several days hundreds of the afflicted had been arriving on trains and in other ae ances, to take part in the observance of the day and to appeal to the saint for relief from their ills. m daylight yesterday the roads leading to the Troy Hill were throcged with people in 3 and on foot, hurrying to the church as t they could, so as to get within the auditorium. It was a pathetic sight, but there was not one among the throng who did not seem buoyed up by the thought that relief from bodily ills was at the summit of the hill overlooking the Allegheny River. It is estimated that between 3, and 4,000 28 were present for the high mass at 10:30. The church has a — capacity of about 1,000, but by 10 o’clock fu 7 were in the building. he members of the congre- ation attended services earlier in the morn- ng, and during the rest of the day the church was given up to the strangers and the afflicted. The services lasted from 10 to 1 p. m., and two sermons were preached, in addition to which Father Mollinger made a brief address in En- lish on the life and services of St. Anthony. lite-sized statue of the saint occupied a place inthe sanctuary. At 8 o’clock vespers and benediction were held in the private chapel of Father Mollinger, which he built with his own means at a cost of $50,000. THE CHAPEL. Of this chapela writer in the June number ot one of the church magazines says: On one of the high hills of Western Pennsylvania overlooking the Allegheny River stands an exquisite little chapel, unique, wonderful, costly, magnificent. It was built by a de- voted priest out of his oon inherited wealth todotTionor to the relics of the saints. It would read like an extract from the Arabian Nighbts’’ did we venture a full description of this astonishing work of private devotion We may safely say thatthere is nothing like it America. Thousands of precious relics cased in crystal, silver and gold line the walls in incrustations of carving and gilt from the floor to the dome. Light streams from above and the walls are hidden by actual moegaics of reliquaries in every shape the imagination could picture. Shrines are erected on every side, and life-size figures of exquisite workmanship of martyred saints lie beneath them, displaying the wounds of their martyrdom to the reverent wonder and devotion of the spectator. Urns and vials centuries old, some of them containing sacred relics taken from the catacombs or the crypts of ancient shrines in the Old World, are here all covered with costiy plate-glass. The precious authentications of these relics, some crumbling with age, are enclosed in the fire- proof sates of this wonderful chapel. How these relics were obtained and the account of their accumulation would form a history of itself. THE ENTHUSIASTIC PRIEST. Looking atthe enthusiastic ecclesiastic as he points out the beautiful statue of St An- thorny, the good old man (the Rev. Father Mollinger), with his long white beard, his black skull cap and loose cassock, his whole face aglow with fervor and animation, one cannot help catching some of the enthusiasm and de- votion as he kneels to kiss the relics of St. Anthony. Should you ever go to Pittsburg cross the river to the twin city and ask anyone rou meet to show youthe way to Troy Hill. f it happens to be on the 138th of June (the birth of St. Anthony of Padua), the throng of devout people ascending the road to the chapel of relics will point out the way with- out further inquiry. The chapel is said to contain more relics thanany other outside of Rome. That wondertul cures have been made here there are 1 who will gladly bear wit- ness. Father Mollinger generally requires that Catholics shall pray to the saint daily, while those who are not members of the Church are required to abstain from meat on Friday and do some other simple penance. Father Mollinger never takes a fee.’’ Globe Furnishing Department.

There was an excellent audience at Uhrig's Cave last evening at the first performance of Planquette’s melodious and amusing opera, ‘*Chimes of Normandy,’’ and if applause is good evidence of appreciation the enjoyment was uninterrupted from beginning to end. The opera was given smoothly and effectivély by both principals and chorus and the cos- tumes were pretty and picturesque. While there were no places for some of the best members of the company the cast was well taken care of and developed the strong oints of the work admirably. It included Miss Eva Davenport as Serpolette, and Miss Murtha Porteous as Germaine. Miss Porteous is still suffering from hoarseness and cold, but, despite this fact she mate au effective and attract:ve Germaine, and was received with cordial favor. Mr. Joseph Armand has one of the best tenor voices which has been heard at the Cave, and was good as Jean, and Mr. Chas. Shackiord made an excel- lent Henri. The Baillee, Notary and Gaspard were taken by Messrs. Neil O'Brien, Wm. Gillowand Max Figman, and were in good hands. The choruses were sung with spiritand harmony, and altogether the performance presented few weaknesses and many excellencies.

A Peculiar Turn Given to the Sabbath Dis- cussion—One Pastor Who Is Not Opposed to Sunday Concerts in Parks—Dr. Nicolls on the Law—A Preacher Who Pleads for Half Holidays. It was not easy to get an expression of opinion from the ministers after their meet- ings, yesterday, on the Sunday law. Some hadn’t read it, others had just glanced at it, while others would not say anything about it. The principal answer was: ‘‘Let the law be enforced.’’ They didn’tcare about defining the scope of the law, that was the civil au- thorities’ business. So the interviewing was much like running a race on a round track, the end was at the same place as the start. There were some very interesting exceptions. For instance, a reporter of the Post-DIsPaToH had no difficulty in calling out a vigorous ex- pression from Rev. Dr. Niccolls, who is an important figure in any contro- versy over the law, as he was selected by the Evangelical Alliance to present the Christians’ idea of the Sunday law. This presentation was published in the PostT-DIs- PATCH May 80. It will be remembered that in that paper, which was unanimously adopted by the Alliance, Dr. Niccolls presented only the saloon aspect of the question. In his ser- mon Sunday at the Second Presbyterian Church he took the same ground as he did in his paper. The question put by the reporter to Dr. Nic- colis was designed to elicit some information from hito regarding the amusement side of the discussion. Are you in favor of applying the law to base ball games?’’ The law has nothing to do with base ball games. It is a question of closing saloons entirely. These other things have been intro- duced just to prejudice the public against the law. lam surprised that this hasn't been un- derstood und that the Globe-Democrat and other papers should call it a crank law. PAID CHOJRS. While the scribe was getting these words down a member of ove of the most fashiona- ble churches came up and told the reporter to get an opinion on church choirs. He said he wanted to see his church consistent. It was in favor of the Sunday law, and yet paid its choir for work done on Sunday. It was idle to claim that the preacher stands in the same relation. The pastor is not paid so much a Sunday, but for his work as a pas- tor during the week, as well as for his preach- ing. This prominent member also suggested thatthe question be asked how the ministers, while tolerating paid choirs, could frown upon Sunday concerts in the parks. The first gentleman at whom these questions were fired was Rev. Dr. A. N. Hollifleld of the Grand Avenue Presbyterian Church. He re- plied: The choirisanaid to worship. Itis an accompaniment of the service and springs out of the requirements ofthe age. It cannot be placed same level as a band in The choir is paid to lead certain department ofthe service. Butthe only question now is the closing of saloons, and these other ques- tions are brought in to hoodwink the people. It is nonsense to speak of the saloon as some- thing Which necessity or mercy demands should be open Sunday. Necessity and mercy on the other hand demand that it be closed not only Sunday, but every day in the week. SUNDAY CONCERTS. Rev. J. M. Trible of the Central Christian Church and associate editor of the Christian Evangelist had some views on the choir ques- tion. Paid choirs could be dispensed without effecting him, personally. as he didn’t have any in his church and didn't expect ever to have any. Whether they should be called an “aid to worship or not could only be ascertained by an investigation into the character of the choirs, when those that aided the service would be retained and the others would have to go. Making the comparison with park concerts Mr. Trible re- marked that after ail the institution of Sunday concerts might be a proper thing. — 1 who remain cooped up in badly ventilated rooms may find a cer- tain restin going outto gardens where they dispense beer, but they would probably tind the rest just the same without the drinking of beer. He could not believe that any man’s rest could be secured by 2 soaked in beer all day. Ofcourse there isa feeling that the enforcement of the attempt to drive people to church. But that is a wrong conclusion. Sunday must be recognized by all. If we were all atheists, still one day of rest in seven would be a neces- sity. Sincealarge portion of the public is Christian, itis necessary that they be allowed to worship quietly and that those whose day of worship is Sunday only shall not be de- prived of its opportunities by being compelled to do work necessary to some other body’s en- joyment. EXCESSIVE WORK TO BLAME. Rev. W. G. Thomas of the Baptist Church, Kirkwood, said the whole trouble ties with the merchants of the city who make their men work from7 in the morning untilthe same hour at night. If the business men would treat their employes to day Saturdays there disposition to in bunting pleasure. Cooped up all day dur- ine the week, it is but natural that men should wish to attend base ball games on Sunday.

By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCRH. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.—Some of Pres- ident Cleveland's friends believing that his re- nomination is assured are looking around for some available man for second place on the ticket with him. There seems to be astrong sentiment in favor of selecting a Southern man for this position. The principal argu- ment in favor ot such a combination is that inasmuch as the Democratic party insists that the war is really over, that party should demonstrate its sincerity in its pro- fessions by making a ‘‘national’’ ticket representing both sections. Among the S:uthern Democrats most prominently men- tioned for the Vice-Presidency are Secretary Lamar and Speaker Carlisle. Each one has strong friends and adherents. It is claimed by some that as Mr. Carlisle was a Union man during the war, his nomination would not so emphatically sixnalize the restoration of the South to the equal enjoyment of political rights as the selection ot Mr. Lamar. But there is not muc robabllity of any rivalry between the twoo is issue, as Mr. Carlisle's friends are very positive that he would notaccept the Vice-Presidency unless compelled to at the ur- gent command ot his party.
