EVITA IN AVENUE. ATES? EDITION CAUSED A PANIC, * Wild Rumors in Wall Street Regarding Jay Gould. Manhattan and Other Stocks Take a Downward Plunge. An Alleged Falling Out Between Gould, Sage and Cyrus Field and the Magnate’s Rumored Death Affect the Prices of All Stocks—Jay Gould’s Denial—Manhattan Goes Down Over Thirty-Six Pointse—The Panic of Short Duration—Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild Ready to Help the Market—The Local Feeling. New Tonk. June 24, 12:05 p. m. —It is under- stood that the breakin the stock market was caused by areport that Jay Gould was dead. Western Union fell from 75 to 68, but is now recovering. Mr. Gould is at his office, but re- fuses to see reporters. THE FLURRY OVER. 12:10 p. m.—The flurry seems to be over, as the whole listis moving up to former figures. THE EXCHANGE EXCITED. The Stock Exchange this morning became extremely active and excited, with heavy de- clines. The market opened with a feeling of confidence in many of the stocks which suf- fered so severely yesterday, and large sup- porting orders were given allover the room. In afew moments, however, there was very heavy selling apparent, and a report was started that there had been a falling out between Jay Gould and Rus- sell Sage and Cyrus W. Field. At the same time Bergan of- fered some heavy blocks of Manhattan stock which were taken by Wright & Co., and in ashort period the sales by Bergan amounted to 7,000 shares and Wright's purchases to ll,- 000 shares. These sales were made at about 156, but as soon as Wright & Co.’s orders were filled, prices broke to 149%, and at that point Minzeheimer & Co. had a stop order and they offered the stock down 19 per cent without making a sale. A rally did not occur until the price reached 120—a fall of 3642 per cent from the opening figures. ALL STOCKS DECLINE. . The room was crowded with brokers, and the decline brought out selling orders in all classes of securities. Western Union which held firm fora while, began to break about ll o’clock, and in fifteen minutes dropped S per cent. The fall in the other stocks was correspondingly great. The greatest excite- ment was in the loan crowd, where many in- quiries were msde for loans on call, but the parties who have been prominent in loaning money refused to lend any amount, no matter how small. . JAY GOULD'S DENIAL. 12:50 p. m.—A reporter of the Associated Press just saw Mr. Gould in his office, and Mr. Gould furnished him with the following: To John J. Kiernan: ‘*The bulletin that you are putting out that my Manhattan stock is in loan, is a malicious falsehood. Notashare of my Manhattan is in loan or has had my name on the back, nor do I owe a dollar in the world. You should promptly contradict. Yours trulv, Jar GOULD.’’ Mr. Gould said farther that the story that he and Mr, Cyrus W. Field had quarrelled was untrue; that he and Mr. Field were as good friends as ever. The rumor that Mr. Field was in trouble is also baseless. A VERITABLE PANIC. The excitement reached its greatest height shortly before noon and a veritable panic was developed. No attention was paid by brokers to fractions in sales made by them, an@ fluctu- ations were so wild that sales were sometimes trom 5 to 10 per cent apart. The stocks bought near the opening were thrown over when the break occurred, and this selling complete- ly Gemoralized speculators. Marking down of loans and delivery of orders kept the clerks and messengers fully as busy as the brokers and the street was a scene of more excitement than has been witnessed since the panic in May, 1885. The greatest declines so far re- corded are: Manhattan, 40% to 116; Missouri Pacific, 111 to 98%; Cotton seed, 7 to 39: Rich- mond Terminal, 7% to26; New England, 6 to 45%, and Lake Erie & Western, 5 to 534s. RUMORS OF ALL KINDS. The room during the panic was filled with rumors ofall kinds, and telegrams from all points followed each other in rapid succession, giving selling orders, and inquiring about the many reports which were by this time circula- ted allover the country. The increased short interest saved the room froma money-panic by its demand for stocks for delivery, and 8. V. White and some other large operators entered the market and began buying freely. They soon gathered a large following and the buying turned the market almost as rapidly as it had fallen, and stocks took long jumps back to their former prices. Manhattan recovered 20 per cent of its loss and other stocks generally recovered about half the decline recorded. No failures were an- nounced as the result of the break. STOCKS ADVANCING. Money is 81-16@1% per cent per diem, but Russell Sage is quoted as saying that money will be easier from this time on.Stocks continue to advance slightly, notwithstanding the heavy rate for money. The excitement on the Stock Board seems to have died out, and things are quieting down rapidly. GEORGE GOULD TALKS. Regarding the statement that there had been a falling-out between Jay Gould, Russell Sage and Cyrus W. Fieid, George Gould says: It is all a mistake; there bas nothing transpired between my father, Mr. Sage and Mr. Field of a nature other than the most friendly. It is all some trumped-up scheme of some Wall street operators to influence the market. That their relations are the most friendly Iam positive. The sharp break in the stock market this morning was undoubtedly caused by an over- amount of selling by the bear crowd and the stringency in money. I think the market isa buy now on all breaks. At present I think tne long side is the safe side. Butso far as any falling-out between Mr. Sage, Mr. Field and my father having caused the break, it is 7? false. TWO 6MALL FAILURES. 1:85 p. m.—Tpe only failures so far reported resulting from the break in the stock market were in the Consolidated Ex- change, where 8,000 shares of various stocks were sold for the aecount of Thomas Murphy, who was unable to gespond tothe call for more margins, and some small lots were olosed out for a broker named Casey, who was reported sick and unable to appear. Money is ruling steady at u per cent a day and interest, equal to 96 per cent per annum. RECOVERING. 2:15 r. M.—The stock market showed signs of a halt in deciines before 12 o’clock, and after that time a recovery was soon in pro- gress. THE LOSS RECOVERED. 2:15 p.m.—In most cases the greater part of the loss was recovered by 1 0’clock, Missour! Pacific making the greatest advance as meas- ured by figures, although it did not get with- in 8 per cent of its opening price. Man- hattan, on the contrary, was persistently in the neighborhood of its noon price. With the increasing strength the activity disap- peared, and by 1 p.m, the market had become as dull as at any time in the past few days. To- wards 2 p. m. there. was a renewal of the heaviness with more activity, but it again dis- eppeared, and at 2:16 the market is quiet and THE STREET MON CONFIDENT. 2:30 p. m.—When the delivery hour passed at the Stock Exchange without bringing an- nouncements of any. fallures, the street became more confident, and buy- ing orders were received from all sources. The bears attempted to cover the same time that the big operators like Schepp began to buy, and the consequence was almost all the loss sustained during the panic of the morning was regained. Schepp bid for biecks of 5,000 shares at a time, and Vanderbilt brokers made bids for as large blocks of their specialties. The trading for the day was the liveliest that is remembered, the whole list having declined and rallied from 5 to 25 per cent. The feel- ing is. now more confident and it is generaily thonght that the losses are widely scattered throughout the country and are not confined to the city, as in the pre- vious panics. Money is still scarce, even at the high rates charged, and this is considered | the worst feat of the market. 3 p. reps leche closed firm, but quiet, at the advance. MURPHY WILL SETTLE. The President of the Consolidated Stock Ex- change has announced that Thomas Murphy, the broker for whose account 8,000 shares of stock weresold under the rule, will settle all claims in full. MR. FIELD'S DENIAL. 3:15 Pp. M.—Mr. Cyrus W. Field was seen in his office this afternoon in regard to the rumor that he and Jay Gould and Rus- sell Sage had had a falling-out, causing the big drop in stocks to-day. Mr. Field appeared to be very much amused about the report. He said: ‘‘There is nothing in it; not the slightest foundation forthe story. I was down to Mr. Goulda’s office to-day. We are onthe best ot terms. There is noth- ing whatever in it; nothing whatever.’’ When asked in regard to the drop he said, with a knowing smtte: Why, somebody has been selling; that's all. Further than this he will venture no explanation of dhe phenom- enon. Fairchild on the Situation, WASHINGTON, D. C., June %.—Secretary Fairchild said this afternoon at 1:30 o’clock that he had arranged with Assistant-Treastrer Canda at New York to keep him informed of the condition of affairs in Wall street, especially if anything serious should occur, but that so far he had heard nothing to cause any particular uneasiness. He said that the situation at this hour did not seem torequire any assistance from the Treasury. He intimated very plainly that should a panic seem imminent, he would authorize the prepayment of the interest due July 1. which would release about $9,000,000. He also said that if it should become necessary he would offer to redeem at once without re- bate the $19,000,0003 per cent bonds maturing July 1. The Hurry in St. Louis, The flurry in stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and the excitement over the report of Jay Gould’s death in New York, was re- flected to some extent here. The report was started on the floor of the Merchants’ Ex- change shortiy before ll o’clock and spread like wild-fire. Every merchant and broker on ’Change was soon seeking information and was discussing the probable effect of the death of the railroad magnate On stocks and * ‘eral business of the country. hile there was considerable quiet excitement and speculation, and the effect on the grain market was at once perceptible in the weakening of prices, yetthere was a general lack of confidence in the report, and an in- clination to await further information before getting panicky. The original report came in private telegrams by way of Chicago and there was no bulletin posted on the board. The denial of the report followed closely on the first rumor and every- thing ae down and resumed normal con- dition in a short time. The rumor spread just as rapidly in the street and the brokers’ offices were soon fillee with anxious inquirers trying to get a look at the ticker and to obtain the latest information about the price of stocks. The ticker was full of information and told of A DROP IN GOULD STOCKS that took the breath out of speculators. Mis- souri Pacific opened this morning at lu4% and declined 2 to 92, a difference of 12% points in the value of the stock, and a total decrease in the valuation of the stock of the road of over $5,000,000. The drop in Manhattan Elevated stock was even more startling,for opening at 156% it declined rapid- ly as low as 120, just 36% points, a decrease of nearly one-fourth in the value of the prop- erty, which is quoted at $23,895,620. The West- ern Union declined 7% points, from 756 to 68, with a loss of „000, 000 0 in valuation of the stock. Other stocks weakened in sympathy but the Vanderbilt stocks remained very firm and stood all deals well. All the stocks picked up after the flurry, Missouri Pacific returning to 101%; Manhattan Elevated to 128 and Western Union to 70% in short order. As soon as the report was-received the brok- ers telegraphed to their New York corre- spondents to ascertain the facts. Matthews & W hitaker’s correspondent answered: Gould was alive a few minutes ago and was as well as ever.“ Another telegram read: Gould not dead, nor an other extraordinary event happened; simply taking the stuffing out of Manhattan, ew England and the like, and other stocks have ~ suffer.

A. RESOLVE TO DEMAND Ran- ROAD CONCESSIONS. Business to Be Diverted From Such Roads as Are Obdurate—This Morning’s Session— The New Directors—A Visit on Change Festivities This Afternoon—A Night Ses- sion. The Convention of the T. P.. came to- gether this morning in a very refreshed con- dition. The cool night, the restful ride on the river and the happily managed early return of the excursion had given all an opportunity for a night of refreshing slufhber. The gen- tlemen were all pleased with themselves and their entertainment and felt inclined to work. Yesterday afternoon the nOminations for President and Vice President announced in the Post- DISPATCH were concurred in by the meeting. Mr. O. P. Pindell of Ohio was elected President, and Mr. M. J. Pickering of Pennsylvania was elected First Vice President, Geo. H. Randall of New York was chosen Second Vice President; J. O. Wilkinson, St. Louis, Third Vice President; Joseph Hurst, Georgia, Fourth Vice President, and Phil Traunstein of Colorado, Fifth Vice President. President Pindell presented Mr. George Hickey of Cincinnati with a diamond: badge for having secured 178, the largest number of new members during the year. The convention then adjourned with the election of the Board of Directors as the first order of business for TO-DAY’S WORK. A call of the States was made for nomina- tions. Connecticut placed before the Conven- tion the name of W. A. Warner of Massachu- setts, Illinois named W. J. Foreman of ‘Illinois, Indiana nominated James B. Pugh of that State, Kansas advanced the name of John Rossi of that division. Maryland named J. O. Simering. Michigan endorsed Mr. Simering. Ohio en- dorsed Warnerand Simering. Pennsylvania endorsed Mr. Pugh. Virginia nominated 8. O. Shield. Wisconsin nominated C. P. Van Alstine. As IIlinois was entitled to a director because of the headquarters being located in her bor- der, the vote upon Illinois’ nomination, that of W. J. Foreman, was taken by acclamation, and resulted in his unanimous election. This left tour directors to be chosen from the six remaining nominees. The states were called and Messrs. Shield, Simer- ing, Warner and Rossi were chosen. Pending the announcement of the vote the chair named Messrs. S. D. W. Cleveland of New York; M. Silverstone, Illinois; J. B. Pugh, In- Frank Smith, lowa, an G. Owen ot Michigan, as the Committee to draft a scheme of -insurance. Mr. Smith made an effort to resign from the committee, but Was suppressed by cries of Sit down, Smith!“ given in imitation of the late lamented Barney McCauley. On motion of Mr. Uri, an appropriation of $500 was made in partial payment for the serv- ices of President Pindell during the past year. Several amendmenta to the constitution were introduced, but ruled out under the rules by simple objection. Mr. Randall then moved to reconsider the vote by which merchants were made honorary members. The motion was made to bring the question of fixing the initiatory fees of the honorary members. The question was objected to, and the motion to reconsider the vote was made to overcome the objection. The motion to recon- sider carried. The result of this vote proved to be a boomerang, as the reconsideration temporarily opened up the entire ques- tion of admitting merchants to membership. The matter after much wrangling and in- numerable points of order, was disposed of by admitting the merchants as honor mem- bers at charges regulated by the State Posts, 20 per cent of all junds so collected going into the National Treasury. The standing and privileges of the honorary members was left to the Board of Directors. The thanks of the convention was voted to Mr. Leggatt for his action of yesterday in paying the initiation fee and dues of all traveling men who desired to enter the Western Travelers’ Insurance Company. The thanks ofthe convention were voted the proprietor of the American Commercial Tray- elor for report of the previous meetings. The paper was again made the official organ of the convention and the full proceedings of the meeting were ordered printed. Mr. Pickering of the special RAILROAD COMMITTEE announced the committee ready to report. In presenting the report he said that the com- mittee represented every State in the con- vention, and the report, which was their unanimous expression was one that would, command the fear of eve railroad in the country. The report was embodied in the fol- lowing resolutions: Resolved, That we, the Travelers’ Protect- ive Association of the United States in con- vention assembled, demand from the railroad companies of the United States that recogni- tion which isin obedience with the law and — mae with. business principles and equity. ecognizing the fact that all sections of our country cannot be governed by a uniform rate of fare, we demand that 1, and 5,000-mile tickets be sold to commercial travel- ers in the New Engiand, Middle and Western States Missouri River; alsoin the Southern States and all States and Territories west ot Mis- s uri River, at materially reduced rates, and — these tickets shall be acceptable on freight rains. We also demand for our fraternity through out the entire railroad system of the Unitel States a uniform allowance of 250 pounds of free baggage. We demand for the commercial travelers week-end excursion tickets over all lines of railroads except where shown to be absolutely inexpedient and we hereby pledge ourselves touccept any and all consistent safeguards which the railroad companies may deem necessary for their protection against the abuse of concessions granted us. We also believe it our duty to ask nothing unjust or in- consistent with conservative business princl- ples. And it is hereby further Resolved, That we will stand firm and untalteringiy to obey the commands ofour authorized officers when they believe itto the interests of the Association to exert our influence in dive business from one channel to another. The resolution was unanimously adopted. The question of considering the amendments to the Oonstitution formula by Mr. Pease and known as the Ohio idea, was then taken up. Before any progress was made the convention got into a wrangle over the adjournment in order to visit the Merchants’ Exchange and the Anheuser-Busch Brewery. The hall resounded like u bear gar- den for half an hour until Mr. Lambert ap- peared on the stage and cast oil on the troubled waters. The convention decided to adjourn from 12:30 to 5 p. m. Consideration of the Ohio idea was resumed and referred to a committee of five to consider the ‘‘idea’’ and * at 5 p. m. The time having arrived and being past which the convention had appointed, it was declared ad- journed, r resolving to hold a night session and forego the pleasure of the visit to the Cave to-night. AFTER ADJOURNMENT the members of the convention were escorted to the Merchants’ Ex a — * a xchange, who @ few appro words ve them the freedom of —4 g.

SNEED SWUNG OFF. The Kansas City Murderer Hanged at In- dependence. Mo., This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatTcu. INDEPENDENCE, Mo., June 24.—Ed Sneed was hanged here this after- noon. Besides the offi- cers of the law, two physicians and the rep- resentatives of the press, only twelve citi- zens witnessed the exe- cution. The scaffold was erected especially for the occasion, and was in the rear of the old county jail,on North Main street. The pass- ageway to the scaffold was by an inclosed gangway leading from the main corridor of the jau building. When the physicians pronounced life extinct the body was taken down, placed in a coffin and taken to the residence of Sneed’s sister, Mrs. Chas. Kendall, on Maple avenue, from where it will be taken to the Catholic Cemetery this afternoon and interred. Father Lillis will officiate at the burial. The only members of Sneed’s family who have lent him assistance at all are his mother, who is a devout Methodist, and his sister, Mrs. Kendall. They have been faithful to him. Mr. Kendall visited Jefferson Ci to wait on the Governor only the day before the execution. Jailer Ross has been very considerate h them, and permitted them to de with him much of the time during the few days prior to to-day. They bade him fare- well at 10 o’clock last night. No one was per- mitted to witness the scene. It must have touched the doomed man, for HE WAS ALMOST BESIDE HIMSELF until 2 o’clock this morning. He was quiet and boisterous, alternately, and called for whisky to stimulate him. e slept from 2:30 to 6 o’clock and was then more com- osed. Promptly at 9 o’clock Father+ Ulis and Mother Jerome and four attendants — i and administered to his spiritual wants, baptizing him at 10:15 o’clock. As the hour of execution drew near he be- came more and more agitated. This had been anticipated. His early training had been sadly neglected. He could neither read nor write, and religious principles were foreign to his nature. He not seem at all to full appreciate the Gospel truths, and _ evidently grasped what was offered him, as a drowning man catches at straws. Hewas searched thoroughly last night, and slept in a dark cell on the first floor, where he ate a light breakfast this morn- ing and was seen y the representatives of the press, but refused to say anything. He was baptized, and here the death warrant was read to him by ee ig eae Hugh McGow- an, and from this cell he was conducted di- rectly to the galiows. SNEED’S CRIME. The history of the crime for which Sneed was executed is briefly as follows: On the 26th of Jaly, 1884, O. H. Loomis and } Sneed had been drinking together at galoons in Kansas City, in the vicinity of Twénty-third and Dripps streets, and both were somewhat under the influence of liquor, Loomis so much so that Sneed at one time took his watch from his person without his knowledge, and upon being seen in the act handed it to the barkeeper. A short time after this Sneed was seen standing outside of one of the saloon doors, as if waiting for some one, and a passer-by, a Mr. Leate, heard him mut- ter, ‘‘damn you, you will not get away from me thistime.’’ Loomis was in this saloon at the time.

At the time he was shot, Loomis was walking along with his hands hanging by his side. An examination of the body immediately after the killing showed that Loomis had no weapons on his person.

The Rescue of the Passengers of the Ill. Fated Champlain. CHICAGO, III., June 24.—The schooner Ra- cine, whose crew rescued the survivors of the Champlain disaster, arrived here last evening. At the time the Champlain caught fire, the Ra- cine was lying alongside a pier six miles from Charlevoix. Capt. Hanson woke up, saw the burning steamer and sent -part of his crew im a yawl to rescue the perishing passengers. With the remainder of his crew he ran down the beach to an old fishboat, launched it, and started for the wreck. The boat had not been used for a lon time and leaked. When about half way ou to the Champlain, Capt. Hanson came across a young woman who was swimming towards shore withachild. This was Miss M Wake- feld of Charlevoix. She had over- board from the burning steamer with the 6-year-old daughter of Capt. Kehoe ci in her arms. Grasping a broken fender she clung to it, and seizing the clothing of the child in her teeth, she bravely swam ashore. Capt. Hanson says she is the 4 uckiest woman heever saw in his life. When he started to take her and the child into his boat, she told him to hurry away to the others, as she could take care of herself. She reached shore in safety, and when another of the 1 wrecked passengers was taken from the boat in an almost frozen condition and laid upon the beach, she took off he flannel underskirt and wrapped it round him. When Capt. Hanson reached the wreck the E had picked up fifteen persons. He sav six more, and seventeen floated ashore by the aid of planks and life-presery- ers. Among the bodies picked up Capt. Hanson was that of rs. Ella per- smith of Charlevoix. She bata = “i the — ition of her te- preserver shows that she had worked it down phe Capt. Casey, Capt. Hanson said he never knew what 9 n aman meant until he wit- nessed the heroic fortitude displayed by the brave commander of the Champlain. @ sSHARPERS ON TRIAL.

Murders Committed by the Tollivers—The Most Remarkable Vendetta in the His+ tory of the Country—Justification for the Slaughter of Tuesday at Morehead—A Reign of Blood-Letting—List of Those Killed by the Tollivers and Their En- emies. The story of the feud in Rowan County, Ken- tucky, which culminated Tuesday in the kill- ing of Craig, Jay and Bud Tolliver and Hiram Cooper oy a Sheriff's posse, is told by the Courier-Journal, as follows: The causes which have made the name of Rowan County a syno- nym for lawlessness and crimes are not easy to get at. Amid the varying claims of the Tollivers and the Martins, the mass of counter statements, ac- ousations, and recriminations, it is almost im- possible for one to obtain a true statement. The feud of the Tollivers and the Martins dates from the August election of 1834, and, like nearly all these mountain vendettas, origi- nated in politics, and the hatred of the hostile families has probably been fanned and kept alive by shrewd politicians wishing to turn these things to their use. In 1884 Cook Hum- phrey, a young man of 2% and a Republican, and Sam Gooden, a Demo- crat, were candidates for Sheriff of Row- an County, which on a full ordinarily gone Democratic by a small ma- jority. The contest was bitter. The moup- taineer is an intense politician. He had rather die than forswear his party, and is ready to believe that a man on the other side would poison his father. Gooden lived in Morehead, and Humphrey resided on his father’s farm about seven miles from the county town. Election day came and Humphrey was elected by a majority of twelve votes. ONE DEAD AND WOUNDED. On this election day occurred the first trag- edy. William Trumbo and a man named Price quarreled, and contrary to the moun- tain rule, which calls for res or pistols, were fighting with their fists. John .Martin, a son of Ben Martin, a well-to-do old farmer who lives one mile and a half from More- head, was struck in the face with a heavy instrument and one of his teeth was knocked out and his forehead badly bruised. He afterward said that John Day and Floyd Tolli- ver struck him. He sprangto his feet and pistols were drawn. Solomon Bradley, a middle-aged man, with seven children, was standing near, and was sbot dead, receiving two bullets through the skull. The Martins said that John Day shot him. The Tollivers claimed that John Martin did it. There were quite a number of wit- nesses, but no court ever decided who did it. Ad Scyremore, another man who was not concerned in the controversy, was shot in the neck, but not ar wounded. This began the feud. In this killing originated the hatred ofthe Tollivers and the Martins, and as the relatives of each family allied themselves to their kindred, almost the entire county, with re-enforcements from Carter, Elliott and other surrounding counties was invoived. THE CAST OF CHARACTERS. As before stated, old man Martin lived a mile and a half from Morehead. His son John re- sided near by. Another son, Will, was a citi- zen of Morehead, and still a third, Dave, resided in Carter County. The Tollivers were several in number. Marion, mes and Floyd were brothers. Marion and Craig lived in Morgan County, and Floyd in Rowan. Bud, Jay and Wiley Tolliver, their cousins, were inhabitants of Elliott County. Friends of theirs were Mace Keeton, Jeff and Alvin Bowling, Tom Allen Day, John Day, Boone Day, Mich Day, Jim Arksley, Bob Mes- ser and pthers. Ali were Democrats. The Martins were Republicans and friends of Cook Humphrey, who, with his brother Gave, had, during boyhood, boarded at their house and gone to school in Morebead. Howard Logan was another friend of Humphrey, and so was Mat Cary, the County Clerk, All were Republicans, and they nursed the animosity resulting from the death of Solomon Bradley. THE SECOND ACT IN THE TRAGEDY. The second mar to fall was Floyd Tolliver. The account of the Martin faction is as fol. lows: In the December following the August election John Martin went to Morehead in or- der to pay to John Tippit a small debt he owed him. Phere he met John Day, Sam Gorden and Floyd Tolliver. The latter went up to Martin and said: „John, you have been wanting to bulldoze me, but I am not going to permit it.“ „J haven't tried to bulidoze you, Floyd, repiied Martin. „es, by G—, you have,“ returned Tolliver, Land lam not going to permitit. I want you to understand me.’ Martin turned and walked into the bar-room of the hotel now called the Gault House, and was followed by Toiliver, ay and Gorden re- maining bebind. Inside Tolliver repeated the same threat and put his hand in his pocket. „Well, if you must fight,’’ exclaimed Mar- tin, ‘‘Il am ready for you. Both drew their pistols, but Martin was first, and as his weapon exploded, Tolliver fell back, mortally wounded. — friends rushed in, and Tolliver, raising himself in his dying agonies, said to them: . **Boys, remember what you swore to do; ou said you would kill him, and you must eep your word. This is the story of Floyd Tollitver’s death as related by the Martins. he other faction de- ny these statements. They claim that it was Martin that picked the difficulty; that Floyd Tolliver was not endeavoring to draw his pis- tol, and that he was siain committing no offense. JOHN MARTIN GAVE HIMSELF UP to the authorities. The members of the Tol- liver faction were greatly enraged at the death of Floyd, and Martin was put on the train and carried to the Winchester jall in order to prevent him from being lynched. He had been there six days when five men arrived withap order, signed by the proper authorities, commanding the return of Martin to the jail at Morehead. The Martins say that these ive men were Alvin Bowling, ward Evans, and two others named Hall The order they had was ug Martin’s wi started back to Morehead that had her — al mn the same train ugh she was un- istols, and filed him “ay times, he did not Morehead, and his wife knew not that her husband was on the game train until she was cailed to see him die.

While out on business, riding along three miles from Morehead, a bullet from a Win- chester rifle, fired from the bushes along the roadside, lodged in Young’s shoulder. It was not known atthe time who did it. Not long after Pearce was arrested in 2 County on the charge of highway robbery, rman being his victim, and was e Montgomery Cireult Court and sentenced to seven years in the niten- tentiary. While in the Mt. Sterling jail Pearce confessed that he and Ben Ray- burn ambushed Young, but Rayburn fired the dullet which ! ed in bis shoulder. He said that Cook Humphrey had promised them 4 day and all the whisky they wanted while watching for Young, and $250 when they killed him. He said Humphrey paid them $7.50 apiece after shooting Young. This confession was made to Jeff Bowling and Allen Young, a son of Taylor Young, who visited the prisoner in the t. Sterling jail. Pearce terward said that the confession was extorted from him by the two men, and was not true. This was conclusively proven at the trial, where it was stated b arce that he was forced to make the confession by the Tolliverites, who threatened to take him to Mount Sterling, the Martin route, it he did not, and this meant death. THE BESIEGED HOUSE. The fourth man slain was also a member of the Martin faction, and another deputy of Humphrey. As usual, the accounts of either side are widely at variance, and both will be related. The females of the Martin family were witnesses to the — and their story comes first. The Martin house, which was burned by the Tollivers, was a substan- tial two-story building, the front portion of frame andthe other of logs, standing about thirty feet from the public road. Back of ita hill, covered with dense underbrush, sloped to the height of a couple of hundred feet. On the other side, opposite the road, are the stables, and a few hundred yards off was the residence of Richmond Tusse, the son-in law of Ben Martin. The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad runs in front of the Martin house, not seventy-five yards off. To the northeast stretches a long, narrow valley of level, fertile land. 82 the side ot the burned house the framework for a new residence is now erected. WHAT A WOMAN SAYS. „Craig Tolliver and his gang came to my house early in the morning, during my ab- sence ata funeral, after Cook Humphrey and Ben Rayburn,’’ said Mrs. Martin, a woman of between 6 and 70, as she sat on the porch of a log hut. ‘‘During those days nobody lived at our house except defenseless women. Besides myseif there were my two —— daughters, Sue and Annie, my little aughter, Rena, also my married daughter, Mrs. Tusse, was at * house the day Ray - burn was killed. My husband had gone to Kansas. He had received several warnings that he would be killedif he didn’t go, and we women folks persuaded him to leave, al- though he did not want todo so. My two sons, Will and Dave, had also been threat- ened, and they too had gone to Kansas. It was Sunday when the Tollivers came, Cook Humphrey and Ben Rayburn were at my house. They spent the night there. Cook was inthe habit of coming to our house, and the children always treated him as a brother. The Tollivers found out they were there be- cause the night before Humphrey was afraid they might want to kill him, and he slipped into Morehead after his Winchester, which he had left there. They saw him and the next day they came after him. They knew that there was somebody with him, but they did not find out it was Rayburn until after they had killed him. They hid in the bushes around the house. In the party were Craig Tolliver, Mark Keeton, Jeff Bowling, Tom Allen Day, John Day, Boone Day, Mich, Jim Ashiey, Bob Messer, and others whose names I do not know. Tolliver was Town Marshal of Morehead, and ciaimed that he had warrauts for the arrest of Humphrey and Ray- burn on the charge of attempting to assassin- ate Taylor Young, but they NEVER HAD ANY WARRANTS. yay watched the house and saw every- thing that was going on. Rayburn helped my daughter Sue rob the bees that morning. One of them stung Rayburn and he made a good deai of fuss about it. She laughed at him and toid him he made more fuss than if the entire Tolliver gang wad alter him. Craig Tolliver heard it all, for he afterward repeated to my daughterthe exact words of the conversation. ell, they came in the ard and demanded that Humphrey and tauyburn surrender. They asked them to show their warrants, and as they could not, they refused to surrender. Then the Tolliver gang hid allaroundthe house and began to shoot. Some of them got behind the stable, over there. According to Mr. Martin’s narrative Humph- rey and Rayburn took refuge in the second story. Rayburn had no arms, but he secured arevolver in the house. Humphrey hada Winchester rifle and a shotgun. The Toll vers were armed with Winchesters and shot- kuns. Craig Tolliver slipped into the yard and got inside the house unperceived. He was creeping up the stairway when Hum- phrey, discovering his 1 seized the shotgun and discharged it into his face. Tolli- ver fell back downthe steps, and his friends, rushing in, grasped him by the legs and dragged him out of danger. He was carried away, andtook no further active partin the siege. He was badly scarred by the load of shot discharged into his face, but quickly recovered. A DAY Of TERROR. In the meantime the others continued the siege. The half-grown boy was at work in a field. He approached the house and two shote were fired at him. He ran off tothe house where his mother was and gave the alarm. She, too, came tothe house, and the beseigers allowed her to go in. The news of the affair was carried to Morebead, but no- body iu this town of 500 inhabitants dared to to the relief. Sue Martin, the eldest daughter, made her escape out of the house. As she got outside she was met by Craig Tol- liver, who, with his face still covered with the blood from his wounds, threatened to kill ber if she dared go to Morehead. She was a woman of spirit, and made a dash through the bushes, with Tolliver in pursuit. He fired two or three shots at her, but she eluded him until she came to a ditch which had been cut ina piece of low land. She lay down in this and escaped obser- vation until nearly night, when she went to town, where she was immediately arrested by others of the Tolliver faction and put in jail. FLEEING FOR LIFE. In the afternoon the bésiegers threatened to sct the house on fire if Humphrey and Ray- burn did not surrender. The latter decided to make a break for life. It was then about o’clock in the afternoon and duying the day several hundred shots had been fired. Trains loaded with people had passed by in sight and quite a number of persons h approached to interfere but had grown afraid and gone back. rs. in the scheme for escape. out to the stable where Tom Alien Day, one of the best marksmen, was ambushed, and when he prepared to shoot at the flecing men knocked up his gun. The fugitives rushe out at the eastern door, leaped the yard fence, and dashed across the cornfield to- ward the mountain and the forest. The en- tire band rushed forward in pursuit, firing as they went. They rested their guns on the ard fence and took good aim. The fugi- ves were over a hundred yards off, when one of them fell. It was Rayburn. umphrey escaped into the bushesand hid. The pur- suers, knowi he was armed with in- chester, were aid to go in after him. SEEN FROM THE BUSH.

Weil then,’’ said Phillips, “at guess the poys did right in killing Rayburn. © Magistrates could not agree upon & punishment, and they were all discharged. , THE OTHER SIDE. The Tollivers are entitled to their side of the story. They say they did have warrants for the arrest of Humphrey and Rayburn, and that they tried to induce them to surren- der peacefully, the two men refusing to do so, They say that they offered to talk to Cook Humphrey if he would come to a window witbout hisarms. He did so, and they again endeayor persuade him to surrender, when they ht have shot him. They deny setting the house of the Martins on fire, and say that tne Martins themselves did it in order to obtain the insurance. It remains for a court to say which side hastolda faithful tale. THE STATE INTERFERES. The killing of Rayburn created a sensation throughout the State, and the militia were sent to Mor ad. There was aspecial term of court, and Attorney-General ardin was sent to Morehead to prosecute the cases, while Z. T. Young defended them, Cook Humphrey was tried for shooting Tolliver and was acquitted. The other cases came to noth- ing. About all that Gen. Hardin accomplished was to get them indicted by the Rowan County Grand-jury on the charge of carrying con- cealed deadly weapons. Jeff and Alvin Bowling, two of the prom- inent figures in these tragedies, have been dis- — of by other courts than those of Rowan ounty. Jeff Bowling illed his father-in-law in Ohio, and is to be hanged in August. His brother, Alvin, killed Town Marshal Gill in Mt. Sterling, and has been sentenced to twenty- one years in the Penitentiary. All the other living actors in this series of tragedies are at large and are in Morehead while this article is being written. MINOR MATTERS. In addition to these occurrences there have been numerous skirmishes in which no one was killed. At one time Cook Humphrey, Howard Logan, Mat Carey and two or three others of their friends were besieged in the Gault House in Morehead, and dozens of shots were fired, butthey did no damage beyond riddling the doors and windows. After the term of court last year all the lead- ers of the feud came to Louisville under the paternal anspices of Gov. Kuott and signed a treaty of peace, which they swore to keep for- ever, and actually did observe for almost a year,when it was terminated by the fight in which young Will Logan was fatally wounded, After this came the celebrated compromise of July, one 1 ago, in which Cook Hum phrey and Craig Tolliver agreed to leave the State forever, and which they kept about four months, Tolliver returning in that time. TOLLIVER AS A JUDGE. All was quiet until last March, when sud- denly Craig announced that he was a peaces- ble citizen, a good man and a candidate for Police Judge of Morehead. He then went out to do his canvassing with a Winchester rife over his shoulder. When Craig an- nounced bimself all the other candidatés with- drew precipitately, and when election day came he was alone in the field. Forty or fifty votes were cast by Tolliverites, and Craig was elected. This gave him power to issue warrants, and ledupto the most atrocious crime of the whole feud—the killing of the Lo- gan boys some two weeks ago. THE KILLING OF THE LOGANS. Tolliver issued a warrant charging the two boys with Kukluxing, and placed it in the hands of Marshal Manning. Accompanied by a posse of twelve men, including Tolliver, Manning went to Dr. Logan’s house, about two miles from Morehead, where his sons were staying, on Thursday afternoon, and de- manded their surrender, saying he had a war- rant for them. Knowing the material of which the posse was composed, and that the ‘‘arrest’’ meant nothing more or less than their murder, they deciinéd to surrender. The posse made an attempt to enter the house, when Jack Logan, the youngest of the boys, fired, severely wounding Manning. The coun- sel of the elder Logan then prevailed and they gave themselves up to the posse, under prom- ise that they should not be harmed, but given a fair trial, and that their house should not be burned. Thirty steps from the house some one of the posse told the boys thatthey must die there, and notwithstanding the expostulations of Sheriff Hogg, they were ruthlessiy shot down in cold blood. About twenty buckshot and leces of slugs were found in each of the bodies. which were completely riddled. To add to the horror of the crime, after they were killed their faces were badly mutilated by kicking. Hugh Clark and wife of Morehead, friends of the dead men, soon hearing of the affair, — to the spot and removed their bodies to the home of the former, where they were kept all night. On Friday they were given a decent burial in Dr. Logan’s grave- yard. Craig Tolliver wanted Dr. Logan convicted of the charge against him. His sons would have been witnesses in his behalf, and their testimony would, doubtless, have cleared him ofthe charge. Tolliver, knowing this, con. cluded it was best they should be put out ot the way. THE WEATH ROLL. Up to the culmination of the feud in the ex- termination of the Tollivers there were seven- teen deaths, among them the following: Solo- mon Bradley, John Martin, Whit Pelfrey, B. Caudelle, Deputy-Sheriff Baumgartner, Mason Keeton, John Marlow, John Davis, Wiley Tol- liver, a railroad employe named Witcher, Willie Logan, Ben Rayburn, John Day, Floyd Tolliver and a pew whose name is not re- membered, besides the two latest victims, John B. Logan and W. H. Logan. Capt. Boyd’s Appointment. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. WASHINGTON, D.

HOW THE LITTLE OHLOROFORMER STOOD ALFRED BLUNT’S EXECUTION. His Farewell of His ¥ellow-Murderer— Searcely Any Change Noticeable in His Demeanor—He Gives no Glimpse of Him- self During the Preparations and Hang- ing This Morning—His Cell Silent and the Occupant Apparently Asleep—A Terrible Ordeal. There were two men in the jail besides Al- trod Blunt for whom thé exeoution of this morning had peculiar significance. With ev- ery throb of the condemmed negro’s heart there were echoes in the hearts of two other men. The hunchback wife-murderer’s fears and quivers of horrible anticipation found responses in two other frames, and the shad- ow of bis limp, dangling figure swaying and swinging atthe endof the rope crept even into the sunless cells of the prison and limned a dark outline on the lives of two men that will never be lifted until they tread in the footsteps and dangle in the place of Blunt. To Jerry Pagels and Maxwell, the poisoner of Preller, the scenesof last night and this morning could not help but be the precursors of the awful experience which will come into their lives, and which is hastening toward them ata galloping pace. There could not help but be an irresistible putting of them- selves into his place, and sharing in his feel- .ings, nor is it possible that there should not be an indescribable fascination as uncontrollable as it was repulsive in the condemned negro tor them. Whatever was in little Maxwell’s mind of serious contemplation of his own fate on August 12, he succeeded in hiding it. He is essentially sanguine, and seems possessed of the idea that he was not born to die on the gallows. He has in large measure that tendency ef the mind to put away death from itself and to believe that evil will, in some indefinite way, be averted. This tendency, with the confident tone of his attorneys, who assure him of safety, even with odds of a million to one against him, serves to give him courage. And yet his nerves were rudely shaken by the decision of the Supreme Court, and close watching re- veals now and then a furtive pases of terror, an unconscioustrembling and flushing which tells of the sudden anticipation froin which every fiber in his frame revolts with borror. Yet with this fear that will not be suppressed he is the old Maxwell, vain, 2 super - ficial,dancing aud jesting with the ghastly gro- tesquerie of a Bertuccio on the brink of his own.ruin. YESTERDAY HEC ED with assumed carelessness ut current top- ics and the events of to-day, and at the recess went to Blunt’s cell and took bis last look at the condemned negro, telling him good-bye without a single evidence to the casual specta- tor of genuine feeling, but a searching inspec- tion of his face disclosed under the careless exterior an anxiety to know just how Blunt felt which was almost feverish, and his eyes would rest on him curiously, as if he would look him through. The guards, however, who are familiar with his every mood, declare that they could see no difference in him and that he is as hopeful as ever of being saved from the gallows. No difference was noticeable in Maxwell’s actions last night, and he apparently retired at the usual hour. No one except himseif can tell how he assed the Rent whether the public indifference is ohly a mask that covers real despair which only the walls of his ceil witness; whether he slept or lay awake, haunted by the somber gallows in the jail yard and the avenging face and figure of his murdered friend; whether he feit secure of life or shuddered on the trap with the negro. There was evidence that he was awake as early as 2;30 o’clock this morning, but he did not show himself, and when the first gray of the dawn broke into the jail all was still in his cell. This stillness was not broken during any of the events of the morning. The first visitors to the jail, who came to take part in or to see the hanging, and who glanced curi- ously at cell No. 52 on the second floor to the right of Blunt’s cell, saw nothing between the window and the grated door, and as the ro- tunda filled with men and as the patter of footsteps and the hum of volces re- sounded through the building not asign of life was noticeable in the little chloroformer’s apartment. As the hour for the execation ap- proached and the noises increased other pris- oners came to their gratings and peered through to catch glimpses of the preparations, but Maxwell did not show himself and the streak of light from his window was not inter- cepted. Even when the doomed man walked from his cell and the tread of the throng fol lowing him to the gallows told that the last scene in his career was imminent, there was no movementfrom Maxwell. Thesound ofturning locks and grating hinges, the dying away of the footsteps of the procession as it moved to the structure in the jail yard, the stillness that followed in the jail when every ear was strained for the SOUND OF TRAP AND ROPE, 90 familiar to its denizens, brought no sign from Maxwell. This stillness inside, with only the sound of voicesin the distance, was breathless untilasound that cannot be put into words, a rattle, then a whack as ofa board falling, followed by a twang of the rope and a wuffled thump, broke it, and then a guard exclaimed, ‘*There he goes!“ Soon after the doors opened ain and the guards who had accompanied the prisoner returned, chatting carelessly about the event in which it was handled. and the wa tt all Maxwell’s cell was as if it were Through feelings in seclusion. Whether it was to feed his vanity by giving the impression that he had slept through it and was utterly indifferent to the scene or whether he was afraid that some token of his real feelings might be given to the 1— is known only to himself, but the link between the negro’s cell and his cell between the victim of this morning and him, was so strong that there was hota man in the throng who did not connect the two, and the surmises as to Maxwell’s feelings were as fre- quent as the speculations about Blunt. It re- — no effort of imagination to see the little = stretched on the pallet in 52, nor to tell ee, the 0 sleep that was but never came 1 night; of a haunting fear conquered hope, of the vision of the gallows and the picture of a terrible scene that will not vanish, in aroom in the Southern Hotel, of staring eyes that peopled even the darkness of night, of ears straining to catoh every sound and of afeverish mind that no bidding could keep from all these things nor could restrain from the cell down stairs, nor prevents peer- ing tremblingly into the brief future that sep- argtes to-day trom the day in August when the same sounds, the same scenes, the same awful ending would come into his own experience; nor is it difficult to feel the shudder which swept over the cowering form, starting beads of cold perspiration from every pore when the fatal drop came. The breathlessness with which the spectators awaited it wasas a dream to reality to the intense straining with which Maxwell listened, That the occupant of cell 52 had despair and death for guests last night need not be said, and the stillness that pervaded it this morn- ing was more startlingly eloquent of Max- well’s experience than all the restless and filppant humor that he could assume, or all the noisy demonstration of fear of which a human being is capabie, could possibly be. Scarcely anything. of what ha assed through the chiorformer’s mind last night was visible in his demeanor when his breakfast was taken to him.

Judge Barclay to-day, in the course of hear- ing the cases on the law docket of Court No. 8, took up the demurrer tothe petition entered with the motion to strike out portions of the same in the $150,000 libel suit of Richard D. Lancaster, Surveyor of the Port, Against the Disraron Publishing Company. Messrs, Dyer, Lee & Ellis appeared for the Post-D1s- | PATOH and Alex. Martin represented Mr. Lan- caster. Mr. Ellis entered a formal demurrer tothe first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth counts of the petition because the same does not constitute a cause of action against publishers. The motion to strike out read as follows: Now comes the defendant in this cause and moves the Court to strike out from the plain- tiff’s petition the following: Bexinning on the eighth page of the petition, fourth line, with the words ‘plaintiff says that although the de- fendant has been often informed, etc.,’ and continuing through the remaining portion of the petition, because the same constitutes no part of any count or cause of action in said petition, ‘and it is irrelevant, frivölous and redundant.’’ Mr. Ellis criticised the wording of the 7 tition and commented upon its remarkabl prologue and peroration. He contended that the meaning given by the vetitioner to the ex- Tressions concerning the course of Mr. no The framers. o had placed their own construction upon the publications by inu- endo, but there was nothing libelous in the articles. The defendant is holding a Govern- ment office, and he was already established in that office before the publications complained of. Counsel moved to strike out of the peti- tion all those portions manifestly inserted for purposes of publication. lt was an attempt to get in a speech before the case reached a trial before a jury. Judge Barclay briefly beard Mr. Martin for the plaintiff an the question of aggravated damages and then tookthe matter under ad- visement. ' that therein. A Well-Settled Point. Judge Barclay rendered a decision to-day in the case of Goldstein vs. Winkelman. The law of Missouri is settled that an administrator or other personal representative of a deceased, cannot question a transfer of property by said deceased as voluntary and hence fraudulent as to creditors. Still less may a debtor on a note question the bona fides of transfer by the holder to another where the debt is valid and undisputed, for the. alleged reason that said transfer wasin fraud of the former holder’s creditors, or was made upon an entirely inadequate consideration. After notice of the transfer to the plaintiff the de- fendant of course would not be protected in oe | payments such as were shown in this case to have been made to a third party.

MAJ. COMFORT DENIES SENSATIONAL STORIES ABOUT THE MILITIA BILL. No One Ever Approached Him With a Prop- osition to Raise $1,500 or 15 Cents to Obtain the Passage of the Bill—Other Ex-Militiamen Who Know Nothing and Have Never Heard Anything on the Sub- ject—W. A. Margadine Does not Believe the Stories Have Any Foundation, The Republican this morning printed a start- ling statement from some anonymous source to the effect that at the time the militia bill was before the State Legislature, C. D. Vom- fort, Major of the First Regiment, N. G. M., was approached by three members from Southeast Missouri, and told that for a payment of $1,500 they would assure the passage of the bill. One of these members afterward approached the mysterious friend who gave this informa- tion to the Republican and asked him to urge upon Maj. Comfort the necessity of paying this money. Among other things he said: There's old man — yonder,’’ mentioning another member of the St. Louis delegation who was going to vote with the combine.

Mr. Cupples is in Europe und his testimony on the bribery question is therefore not obtainable on short notice.

ADA CRAWFORD’S SUICIDE, How an Unfortunate Young Woman Ended Her Life This Morning. * Ada Crawtord committed suicide this morn- ing by taking morphine polsoning. She bad been living at No. 108 North Fourteenth street, witha saloon-keeper, and they did not come home until between 1 and 2 o’clock this morn- ing, when they went to their room. The house is kept by a Mrs. Miller, who rents out rooms. Between 6 and 7 o’ clock this morning she say; Mr. Crawford came down stairs and that his wife was in astuporand he could not wake her. Mrs. Miller's sister went up with him’ but could do nothing with the woman, who had evidently taken a drug. A physician whom Orawford called on re but Mrs. Miller succeeded in getting Dr. Jo Shore. He found the woman was suffer ing from morphine polsoning and ministered emetics. As he had no stomach-pump, he ordered her remo to the Oi Hospital, where they bad facilities for treating the case. She was out there about s o’clock, and died two h later. A paper containing a powder su to morphine was found in her dress ocket.

The woman is said to be about 2 years of age, and Mrs, Milier states that she believes she has a mother living in Iowa. Four weeks ago last night she and Crawford to the house, and rented a room. ° says she does not know whether they married, and asked them no questions. as might think her too inquisitive. She 9 knew that Mrs. Crawford appeared to be and contented, and, in fact, at mes was rather too happy. What reason she could have for ending her life Mrs. Miller did not know.

Fimancial Loss by the Brick-makers’ Strike— The Iron and Steel Men. OHICAGO, III., June 24.—It is difficult to esti- mate with accuracy the full extent of the financial loss resulting from the strike which the bricklayers declared off lastnight. The local loss in wages can be closely computed, and Chicago merchants can estimate the amount of trade which has been sacrificed. Aside from this, however, miners are idle in Pennsylvania; sawmills and their operatives in Michigan and Wisconsin; thousands of men are thrown out of the stone quarries adjacent city; the pressed brick trade is affected all over the United States; thousands of dollars have been lost to the railroad 1 every branch of manufacture, identified in an way with the building trades, is a direct suf- ferer from the strike. A careful estimate made of the loss in w s to striking and locked-out employes in the vicinity of Chi alone foots up nearly two and one-half million dol- lars. It would be difficult to name a trade or business not directly a sufferer from this pro- tracted strike. ‘sure to Strike. PITTSBURG, Pa., June 24.—The joint commit- tee of iron manufacturers and the Amalga- mated Association, to arrange a scale of wages for the ensuing year, held another futile conference this morning. The work- men stated that they had no power to withdraw the 10 per cent advance asked in their scale, but were willing to make conces- sions to the ‘‘extras.’’ he manufacturers maintained the stand taken at previous con- ferences that no increase would be granted, and after a session of three hours, the con- ference adjourned to meet at 8 o’clock this afternoon. The impression is growing that the committee will be unable to agree and that there will be a strike. Before the ad- journment of the Amalgamated Association convention last night a resolution was unan- imously adopted, denouncing the present system of arbitration between capital and labor, and declaring that the association would not submit to any such method of set- tling disputes.

The Transfer Extension Bill Progressing Slowty in the House Committee — The Politiciane’ Picpic Subscription—Cleaning the City—Sewer Commissioner McMath’s Election—Councilman Comfort’s Age — Municipal Matters. Attorney John D. Johnson, representing protestors against ‘the passage of the Mer- chants’ terminal bill, appeared before, the Council Committee on Rallroads this morning, with a lengthy and earn- est argument against the bill. Messrs. Rainwater, Cobb, Clark, Overall and Perry, representing the Merchants’ directory, were present to answer Mr. Johnson’s objection. Mr. Johnson represents Mr. Filley of the Ex- celsior Manufacturing Company, who is opposed to the route selected. Among other points made by Mr. Johnson, he claimed that the section regarding switching charges was ambiguously worded—by mis- take, he presumed. He overhauied the bill, and recommended that several sections be eliminated or amended. Speaking of the indefiniteness of locations designated in the bill, Mr. Johnson said he supposed the Post-DIsPaTcH voiced the sentiments of the proprietors in saying that they were indefinite because they did not propose to aive any tips for real estate corners. Maj. Rainwater replied that that was pretty near their sentiment, as they did not wish to have real estate run up on them to unreasonable figures when they set about n for new round- houses, depots, ote. r. Johnson also suggested that the wording of the proposed ordinance gave the new company the right to build its depots, round- houses, etc., on the streets if they saw fitto enforce it strictly, and his experience was that corporations did live up to the letter of the law when it was on their side. Mr. Overall replied that this was rather a narrow objection which the merchants were willing to have removed if the speaker would word it differently. Mr. Johnson commented pointedly on the fact that the merchants disclosed only those intentions they found it nécessary to make known. He thought the proposed location should be more definitely settled, and made numerous sug- gestions for amendments. An effort will be made to secure a report on the bill to-night. Rallway Bills in the House. In the House of Delegates this afternoon the Committee on Railroads held a meeting to consider the bill introduced by the Transfer Company asking for the right to ex- tend its tracks ina northwesterly direction to the city limits. The bill is experiencing some difficulties in its progress through the Assembly, and apparently is not making its wa any better by . antagonizing the friends of the merchants’ terminal pill by its hard fight on that measure. As the latter bill is now in the lead and has a good prospect of going through the Council first, a fight on the Transfer bill is probable. Both companies will compete for the same business if the new bridge is con- structed. The committee also had the Lemp Brewery switch bill before it. Muzzle Them. Paul Bierman of the Hendricks Club can- vassed the City Hall offices to-day for sub- scriptions for a fund for a Democratic blow- out on July 4 As he entered the Mavor’s office he struck a 1 of politicians and produced his collection book headed with a $50 subscription from Dave Caruth,the cham- pion all-around contributor of the party. How much will 1 ‘put you down for, Judge?’’ Mr.. Bierman asked Judge McCaffery. Isuppose, said the Judge, this is to give some politicians a chance to do some talking. I want to see the party prosper, and Ithink the first thing necessarv isto muzzle about three hundred of them. I stand ready je contribute liberally for muzzles.’’ Cleaning the City. Chief Sanitary Officer Chas. W. Francis to- day said: „We are now hard at work cleaning up the city. If the police will enforce the ordinances relating to manure-boxes and depositing garbage we will soon ave the city in good condition. It is pretty dirty now. Last September most of the sanitary force was taken from this work. During the winter we did some hunting about for dipntheria, and did not pay the attention that the city re- quired. In the summer of 188 we had the city in better condition than it ever was be- fore. The workof cleaning the city will be prosecuted now without interruption. Municipal Matters. The House Committee on Public Improve- ments met this afternoon.

Lthink I have told before of the never- dying rage for dresses that fit as though they were a part of the flesh. A man mil- liner, a Frenchman, has arrived here with a new system of ‘‘giv fits,’’ flawless fits. This is the way he does it, as I was told by one of his subjects: His wife takes the customer’s measure very carefully,cuts a shape out of a cl ing, feltilike cloth, covers it with a thin layer of wad- ding and fits iton withthe most pains- taking care.

Bill Nye Attempts in a Feeble Way te Criti- cise Arizena Joe. From the New York WORLD. Last evening Arizona Joe, the shooting star, closed his engagement at the Wind- sor in The Black Hawks, a play that is very much fraught with thrill. The scene is laid in Arizona. and New Mexico at atime when the country was new and the song of the six-shooter was heard in the land. ! The Black Hawks, from whom the play derives its name, seem to be a nomadic tribe of men who obtain a precarious live- lihood by seizing a woman every little while who insists on strolling across the plains dressed in a plug hat with a veil tied around it. She is also a victim to the blue flannel riding habit. These robbers, who are really white men from Fort Lee, seize their victim by the wrist and in hoarse accents tell her to prepars to meet her fate. But she does not want to do so without an opportunity to change her dress. She asks them to spare her if they ever had a mother. But always just as she is asking if any gentle- man present hasa mother, and is doing up her hair preparatory to meetin her doom, Arizona Joe bursts fort accompanied by his long hair, and kills all of them except the lady. He then rescues her and takes her away to his cabin, where she is perfectly safe and thereis no scandal connected with it, for Arizona Joe is a man who has had a mother, and, although he fre- quently kills people, a woman is ag as safe in his cabin as she would bein her own home. Arizona Joe makes a special- ty of preserving and rescuing. e has all he can do, and by the time he can bury his dead and change his clothes there is somebody else on the trail who desires to be rescued, , Arizona Joe is not a large man, but is noted for his long and talented hair, which parts at the back and shows how his head is fastened on. He has a wonder- ful wealth of hair and would have made a very good Sutherland sister if he had given his attention to it earlier in life. The plot of the play seems to be to afford Arizona Joe every possible facility for slaughtering supes and preserving the lives of young women whoare in the habit of crossing the plainsin croquet slippers. And yet it is to be regretted that so many of these supes who really have net tried toactatall should be killed that way, while those whoreally takea 3 in the play and who thereby arouse the indigna- tion of the audience should be @pared Arizona Joe changes his hat whenever he — ey kills anybody. It is also noticeable that he wears a red tie when he isin the slaughter business and a green tie when he rescuesa young woman who is going through a hostile country without an escort. At one point in the play where A. J. has rescued a young woman and taken her to his cabin, where she has been for three or four weeks waiting for her parents to come on from Atchison, I noticed that she and Joe bad in the con- fusion attendant on the rescue and preser- vation traded neckties with each other, but do not think that should be used against them. Four dogs, a pearl-gray jackass and a hollow stump also take part in the play. At one point a dog comes in bringing a birth-mark in his mouth, when Arizona Joe at once jumps atthe conclusion that there is some human being nearby. Long life on the border has taught him that a birth-mark is one of the very best evi- dences that some one is not far away. So with a quick, Waterbury move- ment, he dashes out and finds a covey of people who are crossing the plains without his consent, He kills them, changes his necktie so that he will not be recognized, and goes home by a circuitous route. Along at this pointin the play a variety Irishman and un impossible negro come on and sing a topical song of the time of Queen Anne. The song is not so bad as I have heard, but it was difficult to judge it, as the peo- ple who were going out at the time drowned the music with their heavy foot- prints. Looking at Arizona Joe last evening in his strange wild beauty, one could hardly help from admiring him, for with all his n beauty and temptation to lead a ite of shame, he does not yield, but goes on earning a precarious livelihood by killing disagreeabie people with whom he comes in contact. e never murmurs over his lot, and no ear ever hears him complain unless it be the frontier. As a Mexican hairless humorist he would not succeed, but m his great role asa 1 of stage coaches, he does well. would suggest to any one contemplating a trip across New Mexico or Arizona by Tantivy coach, that they cannot get their rescuing done with less delay or annoy- ance than by giving their orders to Arizona Joe. Thecostumes used in this play are mostly of the present century, and are quite real- istic, though the whiskers used by some of old Caulifiower’s band are not a good fitfor those who wear them. One man reo A wears a beard which is too tight for him, and pulls his ears down too low, besides sawing across the under side of his nose and giviug hfs voice a rich nasal twang.

The court held that it was the duty of directors to direct, and to know whether the bank was solvent or not while permitting it toreceive deposits, they being trustees for the depositors as well as for the stockholders, and therefore liable for losses resulting from their inat- tention to their duty. A general enforce- ment ofthis sort of law throughout the Union would make bank deposits much safer than they are.

St | DAVIS ON THE FLAGS. JEFFERSON Davis of Beauvoir, Miss., ex-President of the late Confederate States, comes to the rescue of the flag | ranters and hands them a club with which to belabor Gen. Drum for almost persuad- ing President CLEVELAND to do a very im- proper and unlawful thing. Senator SHERMAN insists that the pro- posed return of the captured flags was a ‘*‘surrender,’’ and “in substance a recog- nition of the success of the lost cause.” But Mr. Davis, who has of late appeared to be far more thoroughly convinced of the suc- cess of the Union cause than Mr. SHERMAN is, takes a much less gloomy view of the present strength of disloyalty and treason, and makes a much stronger point against the return of the flags by the Executive. He even goes further and states the law in a way which forbids Con- gress itself to return to the Southern States any captured flags that were not captured by the twenty-six regiments of United States troops. The other 560 capt- ured flags belong, in his opinion, to the Northern States by whose volunteer regi- ments they were severally captured. In his letter to Col. PHocion Howakp of Danville, III., Mr. Davis says: Imay say that the order of the War De- partment toreturn the captured flags to the Confederate States was a violation of all known military precedents. You will find in my history of the late war that there were but twenty-six regiments of regular troops in the army of the North, and of the total of 560 flags captured it is questionable if these twenty-six regiments captured fifty. The flags were captured by the volunteer army of the North and belong to the several States, and have no right to be in the National Capitol. As an old officer of the regular army, more recently a volunteer officer in the Mexican war, and still more recently a Secretary of War, not to mention his gen- erally high standing as a lawyer, Mr. Davis will pass foran expert in such af- fairs, and ifthe G. A. R. chooses to court-martial Comrade DruM, and drum him outofthe camp for treason to the Grand Army of the Republic, the late President of the Confederate States can be used as a very strong witness against him. MR. Davis’ exposition of the law will be welcomed by the survivors of the ‘‘Phila- delphia Brigade” who captured the flags of Pickett’s Division at Gettysburg. They have invited the survivors of that division to join them in unvéiling their Gettysburg monument on July 3, and they propose to make the celebration of their victory more memorable and more indisputably na- tional by returning to their brave and honored guests, the survivors of Pickett’s Division, the three flags that were taken from them on that spot twenty-four years ago. Have they not a better right than President or Congress to say what shall be done with those flags? — — — — Br way of preparing new-comers for the occasional summer visits of those withering Southwestern simoons from the Staked Plains and the sand dunes of Mex- ico, the Kansas City Times avers that Kansas City is cooler at 105 than St. Louis at 90, or in other words that it takes 15 degrees more of beat in Kansas City than is required anywhere else to boil water or melt a metal roof or set shingles on fire, Such talk may go down with new-comers while Kansas City temporarily shares with St. Louis the low temperature of a summer wave from Manitoba, but old residents of Kansas City are familiar with hot winds that wither vegetation, drive their poultry into the cellars and The breezes which the Times refers to as sweeping from the Kansas prairies are far more endurable in winter than in sum- mer. In the latter season they often make the interior walls of Kansas City houses as hot as a steam boiler, and the sleepless citizen groping about his room at mid- night will shrink from the touch ofa piece of wooden furniture as if it were a hot stove. St. Louis has no such breezes. They rarely extend more than a few miles east of Kansas City. ͤU— 8 Cy —ẽ uv, EX- TREASURER JORDAN, who resigned with ex-Secretary MANNING to organize the Western National Bankin New York and start a silver exchange, held Mr. HARPER and the Fidelity Bank of Cincin- nati in such high favor that he was one of the first to volunteer to raise a million dol- lars and set the concern on its feet again before the hopeless condition of the wreck was made apparent. Thanks to the strict- ness of the law, the Treasury holds $340,000 of U.S. 4 per cent bonds as collateral secu- rity for the $340,000 of U. S. deposits en- guifed with the rest of that bank’s depos- its in Chicag6 wheat deals. —— ——— 1 3 Ir the G. A. R. court-martials Gen. Drvo for his views on the captured flag question, it will arraign not only a Union veteran with an unblemished war record, but a stern Republican. If itexpels him from the érder for disloyalty, how can it ever sufficiently brand the disloyalty of the Philadelphia Brigade?’’ The sur- vivors of that treasonable organization are now writing to Washington for the flags it captured from PICKETT’s division, and have not only invited their former foes to be their guests at Gettysburg, but actually propose to present the captured flags to them. a. _ WueEn that little remark about Rum Romanism and Rebellion” rolled from the tongue of Rev. Burcuarp, Mr. BiaIne said nothing, but those words in an address to himself passed over unnoticed by him cost him more than the 1,200 votes which gave Mr. CLEVELAND New York’s eleo- 25 4 toral vote and the Presidency. A great many voters who supported CLEVELAND then broke away from the Democratic party inthe New York Mgyoralty elec- tion and are now crowding the meetings of Henry Gronda and Dr. MOGLYNN. There may be in the formal and perfunc- tory congratulations addressed to Queen Viororma in the name of the people of the United States,” nothing which should give offense to anybody, but Mr. BLaInge will chuckle over it as something mote than an offset to the Burchard incident. . A Broken Tradition. From the Philadelphia Record. The advent of Victoria’s jubilee season breaks at last the five-century-old tradition that none but the third monarch of a name should live to reign fifty years. Indeed, when viewed as an actively ruling monarch, the reign of the present Queen will be found actually to exceed in length any other. Henry III. became King at the age of 9 years, and reigned fifty-six years; but during many years his kingdom was gov- erned by bis guardians. To Edward III., who atthe time of his accession to the throne was aboy of 14, and reigned fifty and one-half years, the same remark may be applied. George III., with his nominal reign of fifty- nine years, surpassed all other English mon- archs so far as the record goes, but for the last ten years of his reignthe Prince Regent was virtually king, and the King a madman. Vio- toria, who succeeded to the crown in her 19th year, has surpassed all these in the duration of her term of active sovereignty. Rhode Island’s Peculiarities. From the Boston Globe. She is the only State that has no provision in her constitution for calling a constitutional convention. She is the only State that requires more than a majority of votes to ratify amendments to the constitation. She is the only State whose constitution draws a distinction between native and natur- alized citizens. She is the only State whose Legislatures vote by secret ballot. She is the only State that requires the Gov- ernor to share the pardoning power with the Senate. She is the only State that requires voters to register one year in order to vote the next. She is the only State that requires a major- ity vote to elect all officers. She is the only State that requires a property qualification of voters. Where’s Loosh? From the Philadelphia Times. If the proposition to return the battle- flags to the States by whose soldiers they were car- ried raised such an outcry, what will be the effect of the proposition now made by the soldiers of the Philadelphia Brigade to return to the veterans of Pickett’s Division the flags captured from them at Gettysburg? What will Gen. Fair- child and the other excitable patriots have to say to this? Will they declare that the soldiers who stood at the stone wall on that critical 8d of July when the course of history was de- cided, are now no better than ‘‘rebels’’ and ‘‘cowards,’’ and the like? Or will they not be forced to acknowledge that the real soldiers, the men who did the fighting, be- lieve that the war is over and the union re- stored, and that if anybody should be called hard names it is the demagogues who will not let us have peace, The Girl Who Chews Gum. From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. The Macon girl chews gum and gives brief exhibitions of the pink end of her dainty tongue. The member is worn in the shape of a French roll, while she masticates the un- resisting but indestructible quid, and as she labors thus concentric semi-circles enclose her mouth like brackets around an interpola- tion, and she is for the time being voiceless, for the ‘‘gulick, guljck, gulick’’ that is borne to the ear is not a voice note, but merely suc- tion caused by the teeth entering and leaving the chewing gum. Anybody who has heard acow walk through a mud-hole will under- stand the sound attempted in the discription. It is said that the Macon girl before she took to gum was the sweetest little creature in the world, and no one ever thought enough about her tongue after catching sight of her lips and eyes to notice what she did with it. The Soldier Element. From the New York Times. Anything that tends to Keep together the old soldier element as a separate political force for demagogues to bid for is unfortunate. It is really aslur upon the patriotism and in- dependence of a ciass of citizens to whom the country owes much, and is calculated to blunt the sense of gratitude which ought to continue unalloyed so long us the veterans ef the Union survive. To have the supposed interests of the old soldiers placed in antagonism with the general intereats of the people, as in extrava- gantand carelessly guarded appropriations, in impairing the integrity of the civil-service laws, or hindering the complete restoration of fraternal feeling between the sections, is to substitute selfishness for patriotism and beget opposition to claims that are carried too far. Halstead’s War-W hoops. From the New York WORLD. The wild and ferocious war-whoop of M. Halstead, the Cincinnati man who didn’t go to the war, but who wanted Sherman turned out ofthe army for insanity and Grant for drupkenness, and who wanted somebody to take Abraham Lincoln by the heels and beat his brains out against a wall, is heard even above the frenzied screeches of Foraker, Fair- child and Private Dalzell. The flag incident has been as salt upon his abraded cuticie. The bellowing of the casual kige of the pennyroyal variety has not been so acute since the stock of fodder gave out in 1884. Wedded at Short Notice. From the Marion (Q.) Mirror. "i Some of Tiffin’s sweetest girls were taking a tour through the new Court-house with. Celia Forbing, a Kenton belle, in tow. Just like one of those daring Kenton girls, Celia stepped up to the marriage record and bluffed any young man present to take out the papers to make her his’n. Ed Homan walked up and accepted the challenge. Notice of it was pub- lished in the papers and it was said the young couple drove over to Fostoria to get spliced inthe evening. Tiffin hasn’t had so much to talk about since natural gas came in. The Rebels of 1775. From the Boston Globe. s The most peculiar and pleasing inoident of yesterday’s celebration was the presence of the Robert E. Lee Confederates from Rich- mond. A more timely reunion could not have been planned than this, which brings North- erners and Southerners together on the day set apart for the glorification of the rebels of 1775, when Virginia and Massachusetts fought un- der the same standard and slept in the same camp on the hills beyond the Charles. Grover to Victoria. From the Cincinnati Enquirer has sent congratulations to Queen Victoria upon the auspicious event of the fiftieth aunt- versary of her ascent to the throne. Inasmuch as we are at peace with Great Britain, that was the natural, the inevitable and the proper thingtodo. But it is a pity that diplomatic forms would not permit of a postscript sug- gesting the propriety of fixing up that little Irish difficulty. MEN OF MARK.

If, in order to render his death all the harder, the doomed man had selected a morning which would make lite all the dearer to him, he could not have chosen a better one than was givenhim. It was one of those bright, cheer- ful morpings into which nature appears to throw ali her charms to impress on us that life is worth the living. The air was pure and balmy and the sun shone out with unusual brightness and splendor. Everything appeared | te be affected by the beauty of the morning. The birds sang more cheerfully and people on the streets walked with a est which attested that they enjoyed the exercise. As the golden rays of the sun began to tint the ‘fron —— of the jail, the sparrows hopped about from bar to bar chirping so gayly — one would imagine the gloomy institution was bein 12 tor a feast ot some kind in- stead of an execution. Even the great, laz cockroaches, which infest the place, appeare to be d by the r of the day and d thémselves from their mysterious hid- places at an unusually early hour and ran and tumbled about over the stone floor like creatures infused with new life. PREPARATIONS FOR THE EXECUTION. But the one being in that jailto whom the beautiful morning brought no happiness heeded not the chirping of thesparrows nor the gambols of the roaches. Blunt sat crouched in the corner of his cell, gloomy and rigid. He spoke little and appeared to be oblivious to all that was going on around him. At 6:25 o’clock Sheriff Harrington arrived with his quad of deputies. Entering the cell he read the death warrant to the negro who arose to hear it. Elder West, his spiritual adviser, bad arrived shortly after4o’clock and was in the cell conversing with Blunt when the Sheriff arrived. The con- Gemned man held his head as though listening N all that was said by the clergyman, but his thoughts were far away and itis doubtful if he heard a word that was spoken. After Sheriff Harrington had finished reading ofthe warrant two deputies en- tered the cell and proceeded to bind Blunt with a rope, tying his hands behind him. As goon as this was accomplished the march to the gallows was immediately commenced, the Sheriff, Blunt and Elder West leading the way. Biunt retained his rigid look, and though his face wore an ashen pallor, his step was firm. On the way to the gallows Elder West began to betray some excitement, but he was hastily otten out of the way before Blunt could Setect it and become similarly affected. It was over in a moment, however, and the clergyman mounted the rickety old gallows with the Sheriff and squad. As Blunt walked the planks over which so many had gone be- fore never to return again the old boards creaked, as though complaining of being re- quired to do service so long. The rusty hi sand catches of the trap of the gallows had been oiled, and the box on which the doomed man was to stand had already been ane in the middie of the trap. On it junt was placed, and then his legs were firmly bound together atthe anklesand knees. All this time the little hunchback stood without movinga muscle. Asthe black cap wWasthrown over his head he clenched his hands firmly together to nerve himself for the dreadful ordeal. His fingers could be seen to move as the rope was adjusted to his neck by Deputy Mike Fortin. Biunt had been asked if he desired to say anything and replied in the negative. When the cap had been piaced over his head, Elder West suggested prayers, but he was told it wastoo tateforthat. As Fortin got th knot adjusted under Blunt's left ear some man on the gallows talked aloud while THE TRAP WAS SPRUNG and the little negro dropped into eternity. His neck was broken by the ial), although he drew up his legs and squirmed for four minutes r the drop. Drs. Beatty and Buchanan, who held his pulse, announced just after the op that it was beating 70 to the minute. hen he had been banging six and a quarter minutes he was pronounced dead. The drop had fallen at6:30,and sixteen minutes later the body was cut down. The gathering of about forty men, who had assembled to see the hanging, were let out through the patrol- wagon house, while the 8 was carried to. the Morgue. There r. Blickhahn held the autopsy and found that Blunt's neck had been broken. The body was placed in the undertaker’s wacon and, together with incased it, would a decent who has remains Bob Humphreys, hangman at all exeentions years, wee conspicuous dy his absence. His place was filled by Deputy- Sheriff Mike Fortin, who certainly made asuc- cess of his initial undertaking, as he broke the man’s neck, and the hanging was one of the shortest that has ever taken place here. * THE LAST NIGHT. The unfortunate negro’s last night on earth was very uneventful. He remained up until 2 a. m., reading aud writing. About7 o’clock he had eaten a very light supper of toast and and he afterward had a prisoner named who writes much better than he could, out a letter at his dictation. It was to t's mother. Shortly after go“ clock last Rev. Father Feehan entered the jail remained in the doomed man’s cell over about nd a 2 a. m. he His slumbers were not peace- however, and after passing two restless he arose and prepared himeelf for the „ The clothes of the unfortunate 010 the poorest quality. He wore an old of light pants, a linen sack coat, While a of socks that had been darned in a uum- 4 of places and a pair of old carpet slippers Age h were much too large for him, incased feet. When he fell through the trap, these immediately dropped off. Shortl 4 o’ clock this morning, as has been stated. r West, a colored Baptist minister of et called and remained with Blunt i he was executed. No negro who has 11 for years had less religion this little hunchback.

If it had deen customary there ie little doubt that rapturous applause would have closed the scene and the principal actors would have been called out. The en- thusiasm over the skill with which the work was done was simply unbounded in the jail, and Was expressed in Unmeasured terms. To those who stood inside the jail the space of time between the departure of the condemned man from bis cell and the drop of the trap was startlingly short. It was certainly within five minutes, the short- est time on record, and seemed almost within a minute. It was a triumph for Deputy-Sheriff Mike Fortin, who acted in place of Bab Humphreys as hangman, and it establishes him at once firmly in the place which is not without honor among those who have experience sufficient to distingutsh the delicate points and to appreciate the finesse of the op- eration. The interest in the morning’s event was deep, because it was the debut of Fortin, who has been ambitious to act in the capacity of hangman, and between whom and Humphreys there was considerable rty- alry for honors. Humphreys has not, in the estimation of some excellent judges, succeeded in several executions «as well as he might and has not broken the necks of enough victims of the law to satisfy them. Anything short of a broken neck ts considered a bungling job among experts. Fortin, on the other hand, has devoted himself to the study of hanging and has been desirous of trying his skill, believing that he had the theory of the work thoroughly mastered. He communicated his desire to Sheriff Har- rington, who said he would consider it, and, after a talk with his deputy, consented, and Fortin prepared for the event. There was some fear among his friends that he had not chosen a good sabject, as Blunt was short and light and the chances of breaking his neck were of course diminished for these reasons. But Fortin was confidentand his face this morning, while it showed his determination to succeed betrayed no fear of the result, and the outcome proved that his confidence was well founded. Blunt’s neck was broken, death — | in six and one-quarter min- utes after the drop, and the work was pro- nounced by everyone present the quickest and neatest on record. The guards inthe jail said that they had not seen anything to beat it in St. Louis. A Posr- DISPATCH reporter who was inside at tue time of the hanging beard on all sides only praise for the way in which the work was done. He was standing talking with Jailor Callahan and a guard after Blunt went out pinioped for the execution and in an incred- ible short space of time the dull thud’’ fol- lowed. The guard said, There he goes!“ „Oh, no, remarked Jaller Callahan‘ that is impossible, they haven't had time to reach the gallows.’ ‘*T know better,’’ said the guard, I have heard that sound too often and Blunt’s a gone coon.’”’ Shortly afterwards the guards who had gone to the gallows came back and toid about the hanging. It was the quickest and best Jever saw, said one. Harrington does these things up in style, said another. He told the prisoner he would settle everything up inside, and he did. Blunt went straight to the gallows, the black cap was adjusted, the noose put on, and the trap sprung right off without a word.“ ‘*I tell you Mike did that well, didn't he?’’ chimed in another guard. He beid the knot up against the fellow’s head until the trap was sprung, and suiting actions to words, the guard put his fist back of the reporter’s ear and illustrated just how it was done. He held it right there in place until the trap went down andthen he let go. It couldn’t have been done better. The reporter allowed his neck to serve asa subject until the process was thoroughly de- scribed and satisfaction had been expressed by everyone. Mike Fortin was congratulated by 82 one on his success, and there is little doubt that he will have the chance of showing his skill at the Maxwell-Pagels double execu- tion, and he occupies an enviable position at present. Tothe world in general it may seem strange that there should be rivalry and or ange in the matter of sending a fellow-man nto eternity, but they nevertheless exist among those whose duties and endeavers lie in that direction.

I have no intention or desire of seek- ing a rehearing of my cause. At least not until the Roman authorities shali have been taught by more experiences than they have had, to mind their own spiritual business at home and to interfere less with diplomacy and polities in Italy, Germany, Poland, Ireland and America, while eavi us an other peoples to take care of our political economy and politics, and even of our own re- ligion, unless In the gravest case§ of clear de- parture from the unquestioned dogmatic teaching of the Church. The sacrtfice of m power and influence as a clergyman has al- ready been accomplished, as far as was in their power, by the Archbishop and his coun- seilors, and with them rests the responsibility. The determination has been made perfectly clear In advance by Cardinal Simeoni and the Pope not to confer with me or even to try me, but to punish, to humiliate and condemn. MERCILESS ROME. ‘*T know the merciless and obstinate consist- éncy of the Roman Ecclesiastical machine in sticking to theerrors of policies and politics when they are in the interest of the ambition of temporal meng hor and the pecuniary interests ofthe machine itself, even atthe expense of sacrificing the faith and the religion of whole nations, and opposing the most natural as- pirations of the people for national develop- ment, scientific progress and national liberty. Iknow, as others may not, that Archbishop Croke, but 4 few years ao, in a great crisis of the Irish people, was summoned to Rome, not for consultation, or conference, but simply to de sntibbved and insulted by the Pope and Propaganda, and that the Pope having receiyed sufficient m- formation about Ireland from Errington and other English funkies in Rome, refused even to listen to Archbishop Croke when he tried to explain matters to the Pope. Archbishop Croke stayed but three or four days in Rome, and left in disgust as speedily as possible. My critics make the mis e of attributing to the Roman machine an intelligence and virtue, and a single-minded devotion to spiritual inger- ests, in all of which the machine is ludicrously wanting for one that assumes to speak in the name of the lowly Savior who said, ‘My king- dom fs not ofthis world.’ Iam not so foolish or presumptuous as to suppose that any argu- ment of mine could have any effect in DIMINISHING THE STUPIDITY, in enlightening the gross ignorance, or bend- ing the obstinacy ofthat reientiess machine. This only can done by oan pose changes that will break, crusb and impoverish the Roman machine and reduce the Roman Bishop to the extraordinary simplicity of Leo I. or Gregory I., both of whom are justly designated by the surname of the ‘Great,’ who had no temporal power but were extraordinary bishops, full of the spirit of their Master, looking after the poor and pro- viding for the propagation of the faitn. I feel that I can do my humble share towards bring- ing about eo desirable a consummation, rather by opposing and defying the unjust encroach- ments of the insatiate lust of the Roman machine for power, than by submitting to such encroachments. The Roman machine is to-day most anxious to have an ambas- sador of ithe Popejaccredited to and received by the Government at Washington. Such an ambassador would be an Archbishop, ONE OF THE ITALIAN RING, in whose hands itis the Roman policy to keep the power. His presence there could not fail to be a fruitful source of corruption and en- slavement for the Uatholic Church in this country. The Pope is also trying to have diplematic relations with Queen Victoria, in order, as he is alleged to have said, ‘to be able to get aecurate information about Irish affairs.’ What must our Irish friends think of this? The fact is that the best way for Catholic people, whether here, in Ireland or elsewhere, to get proper treatment from the Roman machine, is rather to * it than to be too submissive to it. Reversing the maxim of the ancient pagan, To spare the lowly and to beaut the proud,’ the modern Roman ma- chine toadies to the proud and wealthy, and kicks the lowly in the mouth. The engineers of the Roman machine, who are profiting by its power and its emolument, are really laugh- ing In their sleeves at us for our excessive sub- 2 to their power, and for our ex- cessive generosity in contributing the Peter's ence to the support of the whole army of ackeys and flunkies, both lay and cleric, who surround the Pope with a barbaric po scarcely equalled by that of any imperial despotic court.

ON THE RAGGED EDGE. The people or — en Methodist Church are kept on the ragged e of fear regard- ing their pastor, Dr. atthews. He left Kansas City to come here only because of the solicitation of the Bishop, and now the presence of a Kansas City man anywhere in the neighborhood of Centenary causes a gen- eral flutter from the Board of Deacons down to the infant class. The other Sundaya Kan- sas City gentieman was in the congre- gation, and after the sermon remarked jok- ingly that ‘‘they would get the Doctor back again pretty soon. he deacons and prominent members did not smile again till they learned that Dr. Matthews had told his Kansas City friends to let the matter drop. When he firet arrived here, the church. board ascertained through the Post-DispaTca that Dr. Matthews was dissatisfied with his salary. He had been sent here by the Bishop and al- though working for less money than he had been receiving he would serve the year out. Atthe end of that time he could leave if he chose to. This he told the board, and they very romptiy raised his salary to the desired re. They all would, therefore, sleep more easily if the shadow of Kansas City did not fall across their pathway. A BOON TO THE CLERGY. The Catholic — will de pleased to learn that the diocesan library at Sixteenth and Chestnut streets, beginning with Monday, will hereafter be opened tothe priests on Mondays and Thursdays. Heretofore it has been in- convenient to get to it, but now a walk has been made to Sixteenth strect, rendering ac- cess eusy. This is by odds the largest theological library in St. Louis, and what makes K additionally valuabie is its in- telligent classification which is the result of the learning and perseverance of Dr. Preuss of the America. The library contains nearly 16,- 000 volumes, chiefly in Latin and English. Among ite nore important literary treasures are the Acta Sanctorum’’ in fifty folio vol- umes. still teomplete, giving the lives of the Saints in Latin; old. reports of the French missionaries of occur- rence two centuries ago in Illinois and Missouri, the only such records extant; old newspapers, such as the ‘‘Shepherd of the Valley. Hardouwin'’s Acts of the Old Coun- cils’’ from the Conncil of Jerusalem to the OCounetl of Trent in 1536-64, in twenty volumes, there being only twojsuch in existence, the other being in Italian; the Moroni Cyclopedia, the largest cyciopedia printed. The latter work isremartably comprehensive. It is said to have been the only book in which Archbishop Ryan could learn whatand where Triconia was when he was made Bishop of Triconia many years ago. THE LAST OF THE ALLIANCE. The Evangelical Alliance will hold its last session before the summer vacation Monday. A great — are waiting to hear what it is going to do about down-town preaching during the hot weather. Last year it ap- pointed a committee to furnish such preach- ing, bat the report in the fail was not encouraging enough to drive any- body into a mad enthusiasm. There are those who believe that unless a similar plan is carried out this year it will be a tacit admission of failure last year. The year just closing has been the most eventful in the Al- ance’ history. It never was so flourishing. It unds that its prosperity is directly propor- tionate to the amount of work it did. It grap- pled with two great questions since last fall— the Sunday law and the ballet and in both has triumphed. It makes an interesting study to look around and try to find the Gabriel whose horn awakened the Alliance from what ap- peared to be an everiasting sleep. THE MARVIN CAMP-MEETING.

Bulgaria, the little coun in Europe which we hear so much about of late, isa veritable rose garden in itself. no art of the world, says Vick’s Magazine, as the cultivation of the rose come 80 near perfection as in this small State, and, although the soil and atmosf here 855 the country have much to with the success of the work, the native inhabitants have made such a ye and careful study of the plant and its s that they have created wonders out of their fields of blooming roses. As is well known, the flowers are grown there for the purpose of extracting the precious aroma known as ‘‘attar ‘of rose, but this circumstance does not detract in the least from the appearance of the roses. The bushes require considerable care and at- tention, and they are seldom allowed to attain a height of over six feet. In the great rose gardens, where the flowers are raised for manufacturing the ‘‘attar of rose,“ the bushes are seldom 7 or budded. The roots forming the shes of a young rose garden are taken from theold bushes and carefully buried with plenty of manure, where t 7 — up young shoots. These reach their growth in about five years, and for ftteon veers will yield 1 crops of roses. hen an old begins to fail the bushes are cut Lae and new shoots allowed to spring up, or the whole field plowed up and roots from another bed set out in their place. A successful rose- grower keeps several rose gardens at all times in different stages of sore so that when one garden begins to be un- productive another one is about ready. to come in. The roses blossom in the latter part of May, when all the neighborhood is employ in picking them and getting them to the distillery. In addition to the great industry of ex- tracting the precious aroma from the roses, the inhabitants of Bulgaria make quite a business of exporting rose slips and roots to different countries. The facility with which the roses growin the fertile valleys of that country makes it 9 profitable business to raise the bushes for market. The cuttings for buds are sent hundreds of miles, packed in long — and surrounded with straw disposed A itudinally.

But, in- of this, what does the Queen pro- pose? With her knowled e and consent committees of ladies are formed in every county, town and village in all the colo- nies under her flag to solicit penny and — contributions to be placed at her disposal. Ladies go from house to house begging per r for the Queen from ser- day laborers. One called — the vail of an American lady a few days since and asked of the maid who opened the door to see the servants, After wheedling them out of a few, pence she asked for the mistr velar to obtain from her a pounda least, but she being an American declined making a donation on the ground that the Queen was abundantly able to erect a monument to Prince Albert herself. She thought it would be more suitable for the Queen togive a jubilee offering to her people rather than the to her. In ——1 to the remark that it would arouse feeling if the people ta gn na said: „„ should there be feeling? For fifty years the poor Food land have been taxed heavily to sup rt er Majesty and to make marriage settle- ments on all her children, and while she has been growine immensely rich the have been growing steadily poorer an poorer.’’ The ladies who started this woman’s fund -intended it to come back to the peagle in the form of charity. When it ae that the money was to Zo the erection of a monument he 3 laints became so. loud that at the ueen’s command Mr. Ponsonb informed them that only £1, would be expend in that way, and the remainder devoted to char- ity. It is evident royalty is looking for a most generous outpouring by the people. One poor woman when asked to give a enny to the fund said: ‘‘Here, Miss, take wo; sure, I've known what it is to want myself, sometimes.” Another needy widow said: ‘‘Oh, yes, I can spare a nny for the Queen. A widdy witha ge family must have a great struggle to make the ends meet.“ Many such storiesare repeated with peals of laughter. Increased Suburban Facilities. The very complete and extensive suburban train service of the Missouri Pacific Rallway and St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rall - way is such as to place Suburban points with- in easy access and convenience, not only for those who desire to make their homes outside of the city, but also enabling St. Louisans to pags the ay or evening with their friends in on 1 and return home at a seasonable Of: these suburban points, many are well adapted, on account of the surroundings, as most eligible spota for picnic parties, of which these may be named: St. Paul, twenty-four miles from the city, located on 'the beautiful Meramec River; Creve Cour Lake, which is favorably known for its boating facilities und good fishing, witha finely catered restaurant to appease the ——— of the hungry; Mon- tesano, on the Mississippi River, with its many springs of fine waters and verdure-clad rolling ground, heavily shaded from the sun’s pilere- ing rays.

In order to place these sulg@jrban points cap reach of all, the Missouri Pacific Rall stem have made very low rates of. fare classes of commutation tickets, which, with the cket schedules of the suburban trains of the Missouri Pacific Railway and Iron Mountain route, will be furnished on applica- tion at the ticket offices of those companies in St. Louis or at the stations on the line.

Badeau. To the Editor of the Boston Herald: I saw in your last Sunday edition the article by Gen. Adam Badeau, and to-day have seen that it is denied by Gov. Fitz- hugh Lee that a ration was ever issued to Gen. R. E. Lee by the Government. Gen. Badeau isright,and is writing from actual knowledge, and so am I, for I issued the rations on a ticket given by Gen. Badeau, or from his office, myself. A soon as we got into Richmond ar- rangements were made for feeding the people. Commissaries were appointed whose sole duty was to issuetothe desti- tute, and soft bread was sold to them at the cost of the flour, but was not a part of the destitute ration. A commission was . who gave out tickets on which the A. C. S. issued. The tickets gave the number of persons, and were drawn for five days. Children were counted ashaifaration. I was a civilian clerk having served three years, and in part ot April and May, 1865, was in the Commis- sary Department on Broad street, near Brook avenue. The officer in charge was Lieut. Boutieller, a native of Detroit. We issued from 6,000 to 8,000 rations daily, and either the first or second day after Gen. Lee’s arrival in the city I is- sued om a.ticket to Gen. Lee and staff, and I think it was for seven persons. y who came for the rations or ht the ticket was mounted and probably an orderly. Word also came to he was » us from the commission asking that Gen. Lee * be favored in the quality ot his ration, and he was favored. Flour was issued instead of bard bread and oorn- meal, and fresh beef was got for him. The ration was changed for the better as much as possible. I have spoken of this incident a good many times, and I have said that I would give $50 for that ticket. I could have put in my pocket as well as not, but 1 had never heard the subject mentioned until I saw Gen. Badeau’s article, and when I w it denied, and knowing it to be true, seemed wrong to be silent. The rations may uot have gone to his house, or he ma never have seen them as the ticket read “Gen. Lee and Staff, but certain it is that the first or second day after Gen. Lee’s arrival in Richmond I issued on a ticket as de- goribed, and all I care about the subject is fair play. There, were some of the best people in mond who drew rations the first five people who were rich in every- except food and money. You can 2 this or do what you please with it. , REEMAN A. GARLAND.

Curcaco, June 4, 1 p. m.—The strength that characterized the close of wheat yesterday did not last over night, as the open- ing thie morning was easier, and after the few buying orders were executed the prices slowly declined to 69%c. Trading to-day has been unusually light and as the New York stock market has been wild and ex- ci*>d many of the floor traders took advanta the facilities offered here to trade and spent most our stock exchange. Scalp- handled the wheat market to-day, and in the absence of outside orders have done but little. Closed steady and quiet. Corn has been quite active at times to-day in a scalping way, while the general tenor of the market has n weak and in —— with wheat, closing steady and neglected.

June wheat was offered down to Tötze to-day, but found, no buyers.——Ex- port purchases in New York were light of declining tendency. Wheat—A new influence came into play in to-day’s market, exerting a most depressing effect, too. This was a tight money and a panicky stock market in New York. There was no particular boom to start in on, as the European cable news were flat and unchanged and none of the markets of this country showed any burning desire to sell any higher. This stumped the home market to begin with, for most of the local crowd was loaded up with more or less long wheat, and only waited a good hard spot to unload on. ence when weakness could only be seen all around there was a good deal of wheat slipped on the market for sale. Reports of Jay Gould’s death and later of his tmsanity, together with a smart break in stocks stiil further ansettied matters, and the market declined, There was not much belief inthe Jay Gould rumor and no startling eagernese shown to sell, so that the market suffered no severe break. The close was steadier and %@%c below yes- terday. Spot No. 2red was slow and weak for regular, selling VI to millers at 76 7642c, but old“ In St. E. brought 780, though offered East side at 780. Corn was weak and went off with wheat. Besides this there was something of a pressure to sell, principally, too, dy country receiving houses, and as there was only « limited short demand the market was easy ali the session and closed fully te lower.

a — An Instrument Which Records All Worth Knowing About Earthquakes. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTou. New Tonk, June 2%.—About forty enthu- siasts on the subject of electricity went to Brighton Beach yesterday, in the hours when the twilight is usually expected, to attend the monthly meeting of the Electric Club. As most of the visitors hailed from this city they left here by the handiest route to which landed them at West start on, Brighton. That favored resort hap- pened to be in full possession of the like buying out a livery well earned the din- ner chat’ awaited them by a mile walk. Among those at the table were President C. O. Davis, Dr. Otto A. Morse, 8. Secre C. W. Price Roosevelt, Schuyler M. Goodyear, Charles Butte, M. W. Mann, Lieut. F. W. Tappan of the navy, Amos Broadnax, all ot this city; Stephen Holbrooke and H. A. Cleverly of Philadelphia and Z. Latshaw of Pittsburg. When dinner was through Dr. Morse brought out a starch box containing a battery and attached to it a new electric s ismometer, his own invention. The instru- ment was small enough to hold within the two bands, but could be connected with ordinary signaling apparatus, according to the in- ventor’s claim, to record everything worth ,0ting about an earthquake. For an hour he utertained his bearers with areview of whut had been done in earthquake investigation, und then illustrated the working of his inven- tion, which he expiained as follows: It is based,’ me said, ‘‘upon what might be called a new —2 5 It is proposed by this means to suspend a body in stable equilib- rium, and yet to almost entirely obstruct it from the influence of gravity and control it by a force (as far as we know it) ogy eg of the action of gravity. It consists, briefly, ofa straight piece of soft iron, a little thicker than an ordinary sewing needle and about an inch long, which rests perpendicularly on its point, and is acted upon by a straight permanent steel magnet whose axis is a continuation of that of theneedle. The mag- net is brought down gradually so close to the needle that the latter is realy to fly up- ward with contact with the magnet upon the slightest diminution of the force of gravity ordinarily acting on the needle, by which it is retained in position. This effect is brought about by the slightest check or blow. The needle is never allowed to come in contact with the magnet, but with an {nterposed piece of brass, by which an electrical contact is bronght about. The instrument can thus be made to register any earthquake blow from any quarter of the compass, including en up- ward blow.“ Excursion Rates to Cincinnati, VIA BEE LINE AND BIG FOUR.

TROUBLE IN THE FAMILY. Frank Roemler and Wife Employ a Justice to Separate Them. This morning Frank Roemler and his wife, Lizzie Roemler, called on Justice of the Peace H. 8. Harmon of the Tenth District, They wanted an agreement for separation drawn. The couple were married about three months since and reside at 906 Cass avenue. Lizzie is the mother of achild by a former marriage, and she says Frank agreed to treat the child kindly, but had not done so, and was far from being agreeable in various ways. 8 art be charged that Lizzie had de- ce N advisabie. Wulle the Justice was eng onthe agree- ment the couple got into a hot dispute and were about to come to blows when, ihne Court interfered and separated them. Roemler went away swearing he would sell the furniture. The wife rushed rhim, screaming for a lice- man to arrest ber husband,and left the child in the Justice’s office. Justice Harmon yelled 2 — them that they were leavin - the child but no attention was paid to it an the little thing was left in the office. r about two hours the mother came back and took the child away.

Whart Commissioner, is over his worry with game in St. Louis on Sunday. This change of base would entail the expenditure of a good deal of money. It would cost $1,100 to secure a special from Cleveland to St. Louis to con- vey both teams so as to reach here Suuday evening, and other incidental expenses would bring it to at-least $1,300. President Von der Ahe is willing to risk this money and the chances on the matter, but in doing so he would not make a bold effort to fight the law when the determination is so strong to enforce it. As the game in question is not a regularly scheduled game in St. Louis, he would not entailthe heavy expense, merely to make a test case of the validity of the Sun- day law. If he plays at all on Sunday, it will be on a regular scheduled game, when the Browns are at home. Their first Sanday at home will be with Baltimore on July 8. President Von der Ahe telegraphed this morning that, in“ view ef. the interpretation aced upon the Sunday law by the Police oard, he would not come home before Tues- day, when the Browns play the Loujsvilies. He wants it distinctly understood that\in the ssible arrangement to play on Sunday next e did not have the remotest idea of forcing a fight. lle is perfectly satisfied to let the law take its proper course. The Champions’ Return. The Browns return home on Tuesday next, after one of the most exciting and memorable trips on record. They play the Louisvilles three games next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, andthen go to Louisville to play three games. They return on Monday—the Glorious Fourth—and play the Mets morning and afternoon. The Cham- pions deserve 1 rousing reception and from present indications there will, no doubt, be an enormous crowd pres- ent. As indicative of the great integest in their return, the management have received a number of offers from volunteers in con- tributing in various ways to an enthusiastic reception. Knoll, the well-known cornetist, will in all probability oy f a Cornet solo. He has played with Levy and Liberati at Brighton Beach and throughout the country. A move- ment is on foot to give Curt Welch a special reception. Notonly floral tributes but other favors will be showered on him. The people here recognize the fact that Welch has been badiy treated, and they propose to show their 1 for him as a flelder and general player. Itis probable Bob Ferguson, the best umpire in the business, will officiate at the games. Boh is a great tavorite in St. Louis. They Can Whip Babies. The Browns yesterday opened a series of games at Cleveland with the club attached to that city and won easily. Caruthers and Boyle and Crowell and Snyder were the batteries. Both teams slugged the ball, but the magnifi- cent fielding of the Browns won them the game. The champions made II runs, 165 hits and no errors, and the Clevelands made 3 runs, 6 hits and (errors.

Diamond Sparks. Nat Hudson will pitch the first Louisville game next Tuesday. Nat will be seen very frequently in the box hereafter: Burdock does not seem to improve very fast. He is still lame, and itis thought that he will not be able to take bis place inthe Bos- ton team for some weeks. Pittsburg people, after having seen League and Association ciubs play in that city, are unqualifiedly of the opinion that the League clubs are by far the strongest. Pitcher Neal cost the Louisvilles $600 for his release, besides his salary for nearly two years, but he has done nothing but rest his arm since he has beén with the club. The Baltimores won yesterday, but Davis, the third baseman, was fined $50 by Barnie for a display of temper, not at the visiting team but because Capt. Burns wanted to coach him. The champions’ coming series at home will be very short. Three games each will be played with the Eastern clubs, and then the champions go East onJuly 18. They return August 4. Tony Mullane, the worst black sheep in the business, was received with open arms upon his return to the Cincinnati fold. He would. be run out of town it he showed such tactics in St. Louis. But it’s different in Porktown. Aydelotte, the New Orleans pitcher, who leads the Southern League with a record of 17 strike-outs, is dying of consumption. His home is in Wabash, Ind., and he made his debut with the Indianapolis club of 1884. The criticism has been made that Glasscock is not playing up to his usual form; that he is disgruntled and listiess. To this be replies: I never worked harder in my life to win than I pave since I have been with the Indianapolis Club. If aspecial meeting of the American Asso- ciation is calle@it will be heid either in Louis- ville or St. Louis. There will be a general shaking up of matters in Wikoff's office when it is called. The Athietic Club charges and the counter charges of St. Louis will be among the most interesting features. The Cincinnati papers worked up the ‘‘Over- the-Rhine,’’ ‘‘Bucktown’’ and Mill Creek Bottom, gangs against Curt Welch inthe recent games there, and of course he was hissed, The only way to get even is to recip- rocate when OCincinnag comes here. Radbourn, the crackpitcher of the Bostons, and who is now thehighest salaried piayer in the country, at $4,800 @ year, hails from Bloom- ington, III., and used to go into Indianapolis as a brakeman on the I., B. & W. road, when his princely remuneration was $60 per month. It is estimated that he now receives $65 for every game he pitches. Conway, fhe fine youn the same who was knocke year by the Louisyilles at Eclipse Park. Con- way pitched for the Baltimores at the time. It was in this game that Hecker made seven runs and six hits, three of which were home runs— regating fifteen total bases, which broke the batting record for a single game. Moolic’s great feat of making three consecu- tive homeruns in three times at bat recalis many remarkable batting feats. Jones of the Bostons made two home runs in one inning, and Pike, when with the Athletics, made six home runs in one game, tive being in five con- secutive times at bat.

Whoever he may be, however, he has thus far successfully eluded the vigilance of the argus-eyed touts and the equally keen eyes of the trainers, who have day after duy eagerly watched for his appearance on the track of the Windy City. If he has been worked at all, it is said, it has either been before daylight in the morning or else upon some of the roads adjacent to the*track and when no one was by to see or to hold a watch upon him. The trainers are all positive that the dark horse“ is secure! idden from sight beneath the roof of the Haggins’ stable, but who or what he is they have no means of finding out. AT HER OLD SCBROOL. Mrs. Cleveland’s Visit to Aurora, N. Y.—Her First Vote. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. AURORA, N. Y., June 24.—Nearly all the col- lege girls have gone, buta large number of visitors still remain. They came to see and, if fortune favored them, meet Mrs. Cleveland, and they seem determined to linger till after her departure. Yesterday morning was un- usually bright and pleasant, and the Presi- dent’s wife passed most of the forenoon out of doors. Smith left Morgan Hail fora stroll about the ounds. They first visited the flower - bed made »y Mrs. Cleveland’s classmates two years ago, and then called 6n President Frisbee, whose residence is buta few yards from the college building. About 10 o’clock the two ladies, ac- companied by Miss Alexander, entered an open carriage and were driven about three miles up the lake. They stopped several times to chat with friends, but they did not leave the carriage. Preparations were made and car- riages were ordered for a trip into the country inthe afternoon, but a heavy rainstorm led them to abandon the idea. Mrs. Cleveland spent the rest of the afternoon and the even- ing in her own apartments with Miss Smith. A gentieman who knew Mrs. Cleveland in her school-girl days and who was accustomed to see her frequently, describes her at that time asasilenderand remarkably handsome girl, and the old photographs on exhibition at the village gallery plainly corroborate the state- ment. Sue is stouter now than in her schoo!l- girl days. Mrs. Cleveland’s reg- ular Washington maid arrived at Aurora on the evening boat. Mrs. Cleveland will pos- sibly leave for Cayuga at 8:20 o’clock this morning, at which piace she will be joined by Col. Lamont. They will then proceed directly to Washington via the Northern Central Road. The other members of Mrs. Cleveland’s party leave at the same time she does. Mrs. Cleve- land and Miss Smith attended their first meet- ing of the trustees yesterday in time to vote to adjourn. THEY are selling a splendid line of suits for young gents, up to 18 years, at 52.50, 5 and $7.50, at the GLOBE, 705 to 713 Franklin avenue. — DECOYED OVER THE LINE. A Michigan Defaulter’s Clever Capture By a Detective in Canada. By Telegraph to the Post- DISPATCH. MONTREAL, June %4.—Some two years ago a young man, A. D. Lange, who had uncere- moniously departed from the employ of T. G. Maron of Muskegon, Mich., with some $30,000 of the latter’s motley, came to thiscity. It was thought he had gone to Colorado, and search for him proved unavailing. Later on the matter was placedin the hands of Detect- ive Kellert by‘‘Mat’’Pinkerton at Chicago. De- tective Kellert learned that Lange was in Mon- treal, where he had obtained employment with the firm of Macintosh & Co. of the Vulcan Iron Works. Kellert kept a sharp eye on the defaulter and, obtaining the confidence of his employers, ascertained that it was proposed to dispatch Lange to Coaticook on business. The detective immediately awoke to the fact that Coaticook is only ten miles from the fron- tier, and determined to endeavor to get his man over the line, It was necessary to obtain the presence of the defaulter in the States, as the offense was not an extraditable one. This was accomplished without difficulty. Lange was informed, on arriving at Coaticook, that Mr. Todd was out fishing, and a man who represented himself as belonging to the hotel offered to drive him outtothe place. Theplan had been carefully prepared and Lange and his friend Kellert’s man were 9 — over the line. Here Mr. Lange found a surprise party awaiting him consisting of the Sheriff and ‘‘Mat’’ Pinkerton, Mr. Todd and Detective Kellert. Lange expressed regret at his want ot geo- graphical knowledge, to which he attributed —— capture. He was taken at once to Island bond, where he will await the action of the Michigan authorities. Why So Many Children Die. A reporter coming down the Exposition steps on Olive street noticed an undertaker’s sign opposite and walking across the street entered the tidy office.-The proprietor was ovt attending his second funeral yesterday and they represented the extremes of life,6 months and 77 years, respectively. While the tired visitor rested a moment a request came in over the telephone to attend the death of a child in the West End, and two ladies came in to ask if a certain cem- etery sexton was reliable or could be trusted to remove two bodies to a new lot without someone at hand to see it was done and done properly; while in a neatly carpeted room in rear of the office a half-turned gas-jet mel- lowed the daylight that fell on some floral offerings resting on acasket containing the remains of a silvery-haired old gentleman to be shipped to Cleveland last night. While musing that an undertaker’s rooms should be a consecrated place the proprietor returned, dusty and tired, and while an as- sistant used a whisp broom on his clerical cloth he answered the first query of the in- terview. Les, to-day, it happens I have been among the sorrowing wealthy, the well-to-do, but it you will come here to- morrow at 1 o’ clock I will take you with me to the funeral of a little cbild among the poor and show you where and how they live and why 60 per cent of them die before they reach 5 years. Iwill show you afilthy alley, in which not less than twenty children are playing, of ne- cessity. Their parents canuot keep them pre- sentable to play upon the streets, so they must play in the noxious back yards and filthy al- leys; and asthey cannot afford refrigerators andiceto keep sweet the milk and vegeta- bles, they are eaten unwholesome and these are only a few reasons of why they fall in the crowded tenements in hot weather lik wheat before the reaper. The children of the rich have clean lawns or adjacent vacant lotsand parks in which to play and wholesome diet, and yet the mor- tality among these is thus reduced to only 0 per cent.

The fight of property-owners on Papin street against the Shiekle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company to keep Papin street open from Twelfth street west endedin the Municipal Assembly in favor of the iron company. The Mayor approved the ordinance of vacation, and this morning in the State Circuit Court the property-owners appeared with a bill for in- junction styled as follows: Wm. Glasgow, Jr., Ann E. Lane, Wm. T. Haydock and the St. Louis Paint Manufactur- ing Company vs. the City of St. Louis, David R. Francis, Mayor; Fredrick Shickle, John W. Harrison, Thos. Howard and the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company. The bill opens with astatement of the grant- ing to the — of Papin street. It was on June 21, 1854, that Mary E. Lane, her husband, Wm. Carr Lane, and Ann E. Lane, the latter as trustee for Mary E. Lane, owning a tract of land bounded by Chouteau avenue, Four- teenth street, Gratiot and Twelfth streets, caused it to be subdivided and laid off in blocks, with streets and alleys running through the same. Among other streets there was designated and set apart a street sixty feet wide ‘named Papin street, extendin east- wardly from Fourteenth street to Twelfth street. The relinguishment was indorsed on the platin these’ words: The above repre- sents a piece of ground belonging to the undersigned. So much of Chouteau avenue, Papin street, Gratiot street, Thirteenth street and Fourteenth street as here represented and comprised within the same are hereby relinquished to the public as highways forever.’’ The fee of the land of Papin street so dedicated was vested in the county, and after the adoption of the Scheme and Charter inthe city. The city caused it to be improved and both gas and water pipes to be laid under it. ‘*PlaintiffiS Wm. Glasgow, Jr., and Ann E. Lane state that they are the owners of the fee in all the lots on both sides of Papin street between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, except one lot on the northeast corner of Four- teenth and Papin streets, and that they are owners of lots on said Papin street west of Fourteenth street, and that all of their lots will be benehted by keeping open said Papin street as originally nt apy and dedicated.’’ Plaintiff Wm. T. Haydock is now occupying the entire block front on the north side of Papin street, between Thirteenth and Four- teenth streets, having an aggregate front on Papin street of 330 feet. The St. Louis Paint Manufacturing Company is occupying a lot 15242 front on Papin street, and both the company and Haydock claim they would be exceptionally and peculiarly damaged if the street is closed. In 1883 the city agreed to vacate the street on the relinquishment to it of a piece of property on Gratiot and Twelfth streets by the Shickle, Harrison & Howard Iron Company as com- ensation. Wm. Glasgow, Jr., and Ann L. Lane fought ‘ this and won in the Supreme Court. In 1884( another ordinance was introduced to give the Iron Company the street without compensation, the Su- preme Court having. decided the city could not sell its highways. This was not passed. ‘*Plaintiffs state that in furtherance ofa combination and scheme of all the defendants, the officersand agents of the city of St. Louis have for a period of four or five years last past unlawfully and negligently suffered and permitted the other defendants herein to obstruct said Papin street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, almost entirely, there- bv impeding passage thereon; and the cityand its officers and agents have wholly neglected and refused to entores the laws of this State and the ordinances of the city against the other defendants, but have sought to consum- mate the wrong complained of and thereby in- jure the plains ffs and public generally.’’ In spite of this the city still holds Papin street ior a public highway. On June 21, 1887, the Mayor approved an ordinance of one sec- tion as follows: ‘‘So much of Papin street as ties between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets is hereby vacated as street. As the plaintiffs opportunity of presenting their objections to the ordinance, and as under the charter pub- lic streets can only be vacated for the public good, the plaintiffs ask thatthe defendants be restrained and enjoined from carrying out the ordinance, and the same be declared void. The matter will come up before Judge Bar- clay, court-room No. 3, on Monday. THE VACATING BILL. The bill vacating Papin street, between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, is looked upon with great suspicion at the City Hall. Dele- gate Sullivan was the only member ofthe House who voted against the bill. He followed it to the Mayor’s office and, when urging that it be vetoed, said: ‘‘Your Honor, that bill was passed by irregular means. On being questioned, he said he did not have the proof necessary to estabiish the charge but urzued that for other more evident reasons the bill should not be passed. Citv- Counselor Bell advised Mayor Francis to veto the bill on the ground of public policy. Street- Commissioner Turner advised signing the bill. When asked to-day about it be said: *‘My ad- vice was not asked, but I was not opposed to the bill as detrimental to the interests of the traveling public. The street has been of no use singe I have been Street Commissioner. For five rs now it has hot been used asa thoroughfare and its vacation will conse- quently not de & great injustice to the travel- ing public.’’ | Mayor Francis is still convinced of the ad- visability of the action he took in the mutter. When the protestors called upon him he heard thelr arguments and shortly after 2 o’clock last Tuesday tookupthe consideration of the bill. He then stated that he favored affording all possible facilities to large manufactures, and in this instance the measure had becn ap- peeves by alarge majority in both Houses. ‘he objectors protested that " HE VACATION WAS ILLEGAL. Mayor Francis argued that he was only a Part ot the law-making power and that any such claims should be presented to the courts and not to him. In company with Street Com- missioner Turner, he says, he visited the ground, and after a personal inspection could see no reason for undoing the action of the Municipal Assembly. Delegate Sullivan was the last protestor, but he e no new arguments against the dil. Mayor Francis states that he fully considered fact that no ta Am 1 been made for ep ty revorting the ow. when given up by the Bhickie, Harrison & oward Iron Company. B ing that any such a section would be unconstitational this o — tion was removed, and at 7:80 o'clock the bill was — Mayor Francis si that he thought it a good idea to take the into court for the determination of the legal ques- tions involved in the — of this and simi- 1 that may proposed in the Don’? fail to see the splendid lune ot men’s cassimere and cheviot suits, that are being offered at $3.05, $4.95, $5.65 and 8.6 to-mor- row at the * 5 zand Morgan GLOBE, 26 0 718 Franklin avenue.
