By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatecrn. JEFFERSON Cirr, Mo., July 7.—The Supreme Court met at9 o’clock. The Court rendered the following opinion: State, respondent vs. Hugh Mottram Brooks, appellant. A motion for rehearing has been filed in this case, and among the other reasons assigned for granting the prayer of the motion it is insisted that the ruling made inthe decision rendered, to the effect that the failure of the Court (although not requested to do so) to instructthe jury that an extra judicial confession unless cor- roborated by other evidence as to the corpus delicti would not justify nor anutborize a conviction, was not reversible error, is in conflict with Section 1908, revised statutes. This section appears for the first time iu the revision of 1879, and is as follows: SECTION 1908. Order of Trial—The jury being empanneled and sworn, the trial may proceed in the following order: First, the Prosecuting- Attorney must state the case and offer the evidence in support of the prosecution; second, the defendant or his counsel may then state his defense and offer. evi- dence in support thereof; third, the parties may then respectively offer rebutting test peony only unless the Court for good rea- son, in furtherance of justice, permit them to offer evidence upon their own original case; fourth, the Court must instruct the jury in writing upon all questions of law arising in the case, which are necessary for their in- formation in giving their verdict; fifth, unless the case be submitted without argument, the counsel for the prosecution shall make the opening argument, the counsel for defendant shall follow and the counsel for the prosecu- tion shall conclude the argument. This sec- tion of the statute was borrowed from an Indiana statute which had re- ceived judicial construction in the case of Rollins va. the State, 62d Indiana, page 46, when it was incorporated in the revision of 1879. The Iudiana statute provides (vide Re- vised Statutes Indiana, 1881, page 340) that ein charging the jury he (the Court) must state to them all matters of law necessary for their information in giving their verdict.’’ It will be seen that the language employed in said Section 1908 is identical in sub- stance with the Indiana statute. It as follows: The Court must 18 instruct the jury upon all questions of law arising in the ease, which are necessary for their information in giving the verdict.’’ IN FURTHER PROOF that said section 1908 is borrowed from the In- diana statutes it will be found on comparison, which comparison we have made, that the first, second and third clauses of said section as well as what precedes these clauses are ver- batim copies of the same clauses of the Indi- ana statute. In construing this statute, itis ‘distinctly held by the Supreme Court of Indi- a na in the Rollins case, heretofore cited, that when the instructions given to the jury are fright, as far as they go, the mere failure of the Court to in- struct as to other proper matters is not avail- able as error where no request to so further instruct is made. The docrine of this case was reaffirmed in the case of Adams vs. The State, Sixty-fifth Indiana, decided in the May term, 1879, from which we quote the follow- ing: ‘‘The Court directed the attention of the jury to the points that in manslaughter, as well as in murder, there was the common element of intentto kill, but throughout the instructions the jury was never informed that there was or could be manslaughter with- out any intontion to kill. It is this omission of the Court to instruct the jury in regard to the grade of homicide well recognized in and by our laws, of which appellant's counsel com- plained in argument, but it seems to us ap- pellant is in no condition to complain in this Court of the omission of the Circuit Court to instruct the jury fully in regard to involuntary | manslaughter. No complaint is made by ap- pellant of the instructions given, but the only complaint is that the Court omitted an instruction which the appellant claims was applicable to the case made by the evidence and ought to have been given. This may be conceded, but before the Court could be charged with positive error on account of its omission to instruct the jury in relation to involuntary manslaughter it was nece ssary we think thatthe appellant should have requested such an instruction. If the | appellant had requested such an instruction and if the Court had failed or refused to com- ply with such requést, then, but not until oom - then, the appellant could have plained of the omission of the Court | to instruct the jury in relation to involuntary manslaughter as probably er- roneous. The record fails to show that the appellant requested any such an instruction and therefore he cannot be heard to complain of the Court’s omission to give such in- structions.’’ It is a principle so well estab- lished as not to require the citation of author- ities to support it, that when the Legislature borrews or incorporates in the statutes of this : tlon is rapidly approaching. ta State the statutes of another State which has been fudicially-congiructed-by the ‘courte of eft , ich might explained . . 1 1 have asked 1 the such State the construction thus put upon it will be adapted and followed by the courts of this State. Viewed in the light of what is ahove said, the point made by counsel that the judgment should be reversed, because of the failure or omission of the trial court to instruct the jury (although no request to that effect was made) that they could not convict upon the extra ju- dicial confession alone, but must look for cor- roboration as to the corpus delicti in the other evidence is not well taken. THE OTHER POINTS relied upon in the motion for rehearing it is unnecessary to notice, further than to say that they were considered in the opinion delivered, and ruled upon adversely to the views of de- fendant’s counsel. The motion for rehearing is overruled, and in this ali the judges concur, except Judge Sherwood, who does not. [Signed] E. H. Norton, C. J. EXECUTION POSTPONBD. The date of the execution is postponed to August 26. , — — — — —- THE NEWS IN Sr. LOUIS. How It Was Received by Maxwell, His. At- torney and the Public Generally. The news that the Supreme Court had over- ruled the motion for a rehearing in Maxwell’s case, and had thus practically taken away his last chance of life, was first carried to the Four Courts and to Maxwell by a Posr-Drsrarcen reporter. As Maxwell approached his visitor in the jail it was evident that he was nervous in his apprebension af the news. There was an in- 9 in his loek. ‘‘A telegram has been received, Maxwell, stating that your motion for a rehearing has been overruled.’’ Ah, yes, in quick nervous tones. The prisoner’s brow gathered in a frown; the chin dropped just perceptibly, and the veins in the temple grew distended, giving evidence of the mental blow the news had been, evidence the prisoner, somewhat schooled to surprises, could not control. That old seif-conscious- ness seized him too, and with a desire for mechanical occupation his hands sought his ockets for the inevitable cigarette materials. Ie was nervous as he rolled the weed. The paper trembled like an aspen leaf ina breeze and he sank into a chalr. Theappearance was notabject. The self-control under the cir- cumstances was magnificent, but the great nervous tension wasthere. As the talk rogressed Maxwell plucked at his mustache. twas nota caressing twirl. It was a pull that drew awry the lips and made a white line above its distended muscle. The man talked slowly. His words were chosen and issued with staccato abruptness between the great heart-throbs that made the right foot, which was crossed over the left knee, beatlikea laboring engine. These things were noticea- dle as one watched him intently with a view of a mental inventory. The little fellow felt hunted. Were you prepared for that action?“ ‘‘l—~ab—can’t say I was—I had regarded—the motion as a—particularly strong one. Not from my own—opinion; but all the members of the bar had said it was. And visitors—from other States with whom I talked—ah—said so too,’’ finishing with a rising inflection, as if the sentence were uncompleted. What will be done now?’’ „Well, my attorneys will try to go to the Supreme Court of the United States on the constitutional points. Have you any faith In them?’’ That wasapretty brutal question as it im- plied that the last plank to which the doomed man clung was retten. The prisoner felt that it was hard. The trown deepened on his brow and he sank lower in his chair Uke a man avoiding the gaze of a congregation. My atoorneys say the pofnts are good. Mr. Fauntieroy saya they are stronger than those in the Jack Hayes case.“ Well, you — pe know in that case that the Supreme Court refused to tnterfere?’’ ‘*Yes, but——’’ and the reat of the sentence was unfinished. After a wait the reporter said: „Now, Maxwell, it is just as weil for men to be honest with each other in a case like yours; acase where the day of one’s execu- **Er—certainly. The points on which your attorneys intend to reach the Supreme Court of the United States bave been looked into by lawyers and they are pronounced so weak as not to be sutf- ficient fora judge in chambers to decide that they made a prima faces case. That was unkind, too, but the man was hardly realizing his danger, or rather he was deludin himself with false hope. Wis reply showed that. „„ only know what my attorneys say, and they tell me the points are very strong.’’ Others had come in to see the prisoner. They were standing about him listening to every word, watching every motion. He was a dead man in their eyes. The studied stillness of the prisoner, his unchanging position, except such motion as the pulsation of his heart gave to his body, had made himan ae spot of repose for the flies They wereon his hands and over his trousers and upon his shoes, from which they were eating the blacking. Maxwell bad no collar on, and a dewy, clammy — perspiration was on his neck. ‘he flies took to that, and it seemed that they were really inposing on him. One felt like taking a newspaper and fanning the insects away as you brush them from the helpless face of a pedestrian that has been run over * a dray. And the listen- ers were abeut him like the people that the police push back and say, give him air.’’ Are youa member of any church, Max- well?’’ ‘*I don’t know what you mean exactly.’’ „In England were you a communicant of anv church; were you a believer?’’’ ‘*] don’t know as that isa matter of public interest at all. „It is though. „Why?“ „Because a man in your position is an object of public interest. When hope is abandoned the bravest men have found some consolation in religion. Now, you have been rather flip. pant In all your expressions that have reached the public. Perhaps the reporters have pre- ferred to quote the things you said that were of a humorous character, or had a touch of repartee in them. To be able to tell them that there was another side to the man, that he had moments when the jester disappeared and the man appreciated his posi- tion would draw some of their sympathy; the sympathy of the religiousfelement, and that is the most unselfish interest you could wish.“ ‘‘Well, in England I was a member and communicant of the Episcopal Church of En- land. „Have you been visited by any minister here?’’ si es, by several. „Any one regular! nf one whom you re- gard as a spiritual adviser?’’ ‘*I~- would rather not answer that. „„All right. Now tell me—are your views decided ones, and are they a comfort to you?“? ‘‘Thev are and have been a very decided mfort to mo. Tears were in his eyes. For the first time, perbaps, since his incarceration the man was showing to the reporters a side of himself that he had carefully fended from all approach. It was, perhaps, this vulnerability to sympathy that had attracted Preller to him. was something about him now that tallied with the description of him gtven dy the English aMda- vite. as that same idea in the mind of the risoner? ar You have always avoided, Maxwell, giving any impresston of a more serious side to your nature. Isn’t it time perhaps now to show that phase ef ft. There never was achild even more suscepti- ble to a kind tone. ‘‘If you couid to England now’’ (he pronounces the word with - the ‘e’ sounded as in end). It you could go to England now the people would tell * that as you see me now—at this moment iam being natural—’’ . 91 those people— will any of your family come here to you jn the event of — a failure of tbe Court to interfere in yeur sentence?’’ 4% weuld rather not answer that. in -by to him and shak- N Made. fe. 1 hie hand to the 2 porter. ‘*‘Is t anythi can gay for you?

MAXWELL’S FEW CHANCES. Mr. John I. Martin, one of Maxwell’s attor- neys, was seen. He had just received the fol- lowing telegram from Jefferson City. ‘*Reheartng denied.

The t one is that we were denied a publictrial which the Consti- tution guaranteestoevery man. If u re- member the doors were closed and the pub- lic denied admission during the first two days.

The Judge so ruling our hearing would come when the United States Supreme Oourt meets again next full. MR. ASHLEY C. 12 the Prosecu -Attorney,s the overruling the motion to-day practically decided the case. The points on which the attorneys of Max- weil hoped toget to the United States Supreme Court did notin his opinion amount to any- Nies; Upon the point of the open trial the tate Supreme Court had decided that the trial had been open, and the closing of the doors when the court-room was full to itu capacity had not infringed a right of the defendant. The int regarding due process of law amounted to nothing, as even if Maxwell had been kidnapped e indictment covered all that, and it was upon the indictment that he was tried. The Objection that defendant had not had a preliminary hearing would not hold, as the Constitution did not guarantee him that, and the practice of the United States Courts them- selves was against it at times. FAUNTLEROY NOT READY. BY Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aren. JEFFERSON Crrr, July 7.—Maxwell’s attor- ney, Mr. Fauntleroy, will, as soon as the papers in the case are prepared, make an ap- plication before some Federal Judge for oferror to take the case to the United States Supreme Court. He is not prepared to state the specific grounds on which the application will be based. Pagels Will Hang. The Supreme Court to-day overruled the motion for rehearing in the case of Jerry Pagels, whois sentenced to hang August 13, sothat Pagels will be hanged aloneon that — * Maxwell having secured two weeks’ re- prieve.

Francis, Mayor of the Oity of St. Louis: Frank Gaiennie, President of the Mer- chants’ Exchange, and John W. Motie Com- mander Frank — Post No. 1, G. 4. K., Committee. GENTLEMEN: While I have hitherto made no formal response to your invitation given in Febru last to myself and Mrs. Cleveland to attend the National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, to held in St. Louis from the 27th to the 8th of September next, I have verbally indicated my purpose to accept it if I should find it possible then to be absent from Washington. The statement contained in your letter that the organization was neverinso flourishing a condition as now nor its membership so large; that no effort is being spared by the citizens of St. Louis to insure a welcome of unusual warmth at this, the first encampment of that body ever held ina Southern State, and your — tion that no — more fitting could be bestowed upon the valiant defenders of a common country bythe Chief Executive of a restored Union, and none would be more highly appreciated than that conferred by his presence at such atime and place, enlisted = feeling and interest. ore recently indications have been dis- closed that, however correctly you expressed the prevailing sentiment in the Grand Army, there are members and some Posts of that body entertaining different feelings in respect to my acceptance, and that my acceptance of your invitation would lead to discord in the organization as well as an interruption of cordiality at the coming encampment. Without entering into a discussion of these opinions and unmoved by any feeling, al- though I deeply regret the condition, I can but ard it my duty to refrain from contrib- uting y my action to so undesirablea re- sul ' Nothing can be of greater importance in con- nection with the encampment than the free and unrestrained manifestation by ite partici- pants of that patriotic ae r of feeling suggested by the selection of the place of hold- ing it and which is at once the proof of the complete success of their arms and the highest glory of our veteran soldiers. lam constrained therefore to withhold my M* d acceptance of your invitation. n doing 80 I assure you of my unfeigned hope and sincere wishthat inthe agreeable enter- talument tg ten for them by the hospitable poops of St. uis the veterans of the Grand my may enjoy the most tig profitable and useful reunion in their ay Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND. THE SEC LETTER, in which the President withdraws his ac- ceptance of the Post- DISPATCH popular invita- tion, is as follows: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, July 4, 1887. Hon. David R. Francis, Mayor and Chairman: MY DEAR Srr—When I received the extremely cordial and gratifying invitation from the citi- gens of St. Louis, tendered by a number of her representative men, to visit that city during the National Encampmentof the Grand Army of the Republic, I had been contemplavt- ing for some time the acceptance of an invita- tion from that organization to the same effect and had considered the pleasure which 1 would afford me, ifitshould be possible, to meet not only members of the Grand Army, but the peopie of St. Louis and other cities in the West, which the occasion would give me an r to visit. The exactions of my public duties Ifelt to be so uncertain, how- ever, that, when first confronted by the dele- gation of which you were the head,I ex- pected to do no more at that time than to promise the consideration of the doubie invitation tendered me, and express the pleasure it would give me to accept the same thereafter, if possible. But the cordiaiity and sincerity of your presenta- sion, reinforced by the heartiness of the ple who surrounded you, so impressed me at I could not resist the feeling which prompted me to assure you on the spot that I would be with you and tne Grand Army of the Republic at the time designated, if nothing happened in the meantime to absolutely pre- vent my leaving Washington. Immediately upon the public announcement of this conciusion, expressions emanating from oertain important members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and increasing in volume and virulence, constrained me to review my acceptance of these invitations. The expressions referred to go to the extent of declaring thatI would be an unwelcome guestatthe time and place of the national encampment. This statement is based, as well as I can judge, upon certain official acts of mine involving im- portant public interests, done under the re- strainte and obligations of my oath of office, which do notappear to accord with the wishes $f come members of the Grand Army of the ublic. Irefuse to believe that this organ- igation, founded upon patriotic ideas, com- very largely of men entitled to lasting nor and consideration, and whose crowning glory it shonid be that they are American eltizens as well as veteran soldiers, deems a part of ite mission to compass an it 2 or — — by attempting to intimi- the ecutive or coerce those co making and exeonting the laws. nd d jeate such a prevaience of unfriendly feei- and such a menace to an occasion which ould be harmonious, peaceful and cordial, not be ignored. I beg you to understand that I not conscious of any should make me fear to meet the Grand the Republic, or any : Dlage of my fellow-citizens. The account of my official stewardship is always ready for tation to my countrymen. I should Be trank if I faile — ey to coutfese, while disciaim- ing allresentment, that I have been hurt Dy | the unworthy and wanton attacks upon me [dient expressions to which I have ay tes to come to St. Louis during the Grand Army | Encampment was the chief topic of conversa- | tion everywhere to-day.

Grand Army of the Republic, as a body, is by no means responsibie. The threats of personal violence and harm in case I undertake the trip in question, which scores of misguided, unbalanced men under the stimulation of excited feeling have made, are not even considered. Rather than aban- don my visit to the West and disappoint your citizens, I might, if I alone were concerned, submit to the insult to which it is quite 2 popular petition asking the Gran ter denunciations of the men who hed caused all the trouble and great regret was expressed that the President should have bee led to take the step he took and refuse to in St. Louis atthattime. Some men went so far as to declare tnat the Grand Army should be accorded acool reception, that 33 tions for their entertainment should be with- drawn, and one man on Change this morn- ing went so for as to suggest «a Army to select some other city for their —2 ment, but these were thé hot- heads, and the mass of substantial citizens took a more con- servative view of the situation. The senti- asserted I would be helplessly subjected cam : ment, however, was universal that the Presi- — a — ye * — t opie’ ent dent had done just right and that he had tak- * 1 en not only the only action which he could take the dignal of which I must 8 that neither the Grand etthe Republic as an organization tz nor Anything like a majority of its members, would ever encourage any scandalous attack upon jt. If, however, among the member- ship of this body there are some, as certainly seems to be the case, determined to denounce me and my official acts atthe national en- campment, I believe they should be permitted to do so unrestrained by my presence as a guest of their organization, or as 4 guest of the hospitable city in which their mceting is held. number of Grand Army osts have signified their intention, I am in- ormed, to remain away from the encampment in case I visit the city at that time. ithout considering the merit of such an excuse, I feel that I ought not to be the cause of such non- attendance. The time and —— ot the en- campment were fixed long before my invita- tions were recetved. Those desiring to par- ticipate in its proceedings should be first regarded, and nothing should be permitted to interfere with their intentions. Another consideration ef more importance tnan all others remainsto be noticed. The fact was referred to by you when you verbally resented the invitation of the citizens of St. uls that the coming encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic would be the first beld in a Southern State. I suppose this fact was mentioned as a pleasing indica- tion of the fraternal feeling fast gaining round throughout the entire land and failed b every atriotic citizen as an earnest at the Union has really and in fact been saved, in sentiment and spirit, with all the benefits it vouchsafes toa united peo- le. Icannot rid myself of the belief that the east discord on this propitious occasion might retard the progress of the sentiment of common brotherhood which the Grand Army of the Republic has so good an opportunity to increase and foster. certainly ought pot to be the cause of such discord in any event or upon any pretext. It seems to me that you and the citizens ef St. Louis are entitled tothis unreserved statement of the conditions which have constrained me to fore- go my contemplated visit and to withdraw my acceptance of your invitation. My presence in your city at the time you have indicated can be of but little moment compared with the importance of a cordiai and harmonious enter- tainment of your other guests. I assure you that I abandon my plan without the least personal feeling except regret, constrained thereto by a sense of duty, actuated by a de- sire to save any embarrassment to the people of St. Louis or their expected guests, and with a heart full of grateful appreciation of the sin- cere and unaffected kindness of your citizens. Hoping the encampment may be an occasion of much usefulness and that its proceedings may illustrate the highest patriotism of Ameri- can citizenship, Iam yours very sincerely, GROVER CLEVELAND. , MAYOR FRANCIS, after reading the second letter carefully this morning, said: ‘‘It is one of the most manly, outspoken and able letters Jever read, and it breathes patriotism in 3 line.

I shall cali together this afternoon the committee which prepared the invitatioa and the delegation which went with me to Washington to present it, and we shall take prompt steps if I have any influence with the committee to elicit from the people of this city and section an ex- pression of feeling on the subject. There was never any question in my mind thatthe invita- tion originally sent to the President by a spe- cial committee under instructions of the gen- eral Executive Committee of the Grand Army of the Republic was a Grand Army invitation. It emanated from the source of all previous invitations to attend encampments, and the only criticism made of it at the time it was written was that it did not sufficientiy emphasize the Grand Army. The committee never thought of disclaiming its Grand Army feature until the nonsénsical talk of Tuttle and such members of the Grand Army, and I believe when the Grand Army En- campment meets the better sense of the organization will prevail and it will formally condemn and rebuke the expressions of antipathy, and I might, say of rebellion, of which some of the mem- bersand some of the posts have been ilty. If some such action is not taken I believe it will weaken the Grand Army orgauization. The action ofthe Post at Elisworth, Me., in declining to walk in front ofa banner bearing the portrait of the President of the United States and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Na is a disgrace to the organization an will, as it deserves, meet with the condemnation of all good oitizens regardless of party. I do not think anytime should be lost by the citizens of St. Louis in making known in no uncertain tones their desire to have the President visit by all citizens irrespective of party would be just the thing needed. Some men who were pot forward to represent St. Louis acted shamefully at this time, and I regard the men who have done this wild talk and who have acted toward the President as they have, as traitors to their country. There is only one thing to do now, and that Is to have the President here, to show him b some unmistakable way that he is wanted, and give him asplendid reception irrespective of party. CHARLES A. TEICHMAN. who is a Repubiican, was equally outspoken in his praise of the President’s letter and his desire for his visit to the city. 2˙ President Cleveland bad done just what he ought to have done, and has honvred his high office. His action was sensibie and proper, and is what I should have done myself under the same circumstances. I knew that he could be trusted to take care of himself and his office, and I honor him for his manly action. He should come here later and should be given a big reception ’’ JACOB EWALD said: That letter was magnificent and was just right. The President should be invited to come atany time that suits his convenience, by the whole city. The cranks ot the G. A. R. should be rebuked for their insult to the Presi- dent of the United States.’’ JOHN ©. ORRICK said: ‘‘Such men as Tuttle have placed the Grand Army in an unfortunate position, and the President has the advantage of them. His action was right, as he is esident of the whole country and is entitled to respect as such, nor should he lay bimseif liable to insult orinjury by some Tuttle-prompted Guiteau. I hope he will come at some other time.’’ GEN. JOHN W. NOBLE said he was on record and did not want to say anything further. The committee could only this city, and the invitation should be so | ° — Ay 2 mine — Tattles earty astogive him no excuse for not ac- . ed mon lear 7 30% John P.

The citizens of this city will take care that no insult is offered their invited guest, especially when he is the Presi- dent of the United States and the Commander- in-Ohief of the Army and Navy. The invita- tion which I, with the citizens’ committee, delivered to the President signed by thousands of the people of this city, stated in specific terms that it was supplemental to the invita- tion already extended by the Grand Army. When I made my report to the Grand Army Executive Committee, at whose request the citizens’ invitation was gotten up, I inserted in that report the exact verbiage of the invitation the delegation de- livered to the President, as the records wil] show, and they will also show that the com- other gentlemen expressed opinions which coincided with those given that the President should be given a gorgeous reception when- ever he may choose to come to St. Louls, although Fair week was mentioned as the most desirable time.

O., July 7.~It was an- nounced at the White House this morning that Mr. Cleveland had decided to abandon all idea of a Western trip this fall. He has accepted an invitation to visit Atlanta in October, and when he returns he will be tou busy preparing his annual message to Congress to leave Washington. His original plan, after first ao- cepting the invitation to visit St. Louis, was to spend most ot the month of September tray- eling in the West. It can be stated from an authoritative source that Mr. Cleveland will not go to St. Louis or to the West this fall. The President's decision recalling j. his acceptance to visit St. Louis in September, and the reasons given therefor, created a great deal of comment here to-day. Many of his friends, while admitting that Mr. Cleveland had a right to feel hurt at the vaporings of Tuttle and a few other Joud-mouthed dema- gogues, say that these men are avery small start for St. Louis about the time that the Grand Army meets. Leaving St. Louis he will Ko to Milwaukee.

GREAT DIFFICULTY ENCOUNTERED IN MAK- ING THE ANNUAL n ‘since Bids Received To- Day for &prinkling the Streets in Twenty-Six Districtea—A Propo- sition to Build a Million- Dollar Sewer in the Western Part of the City for Draining the Forest Park Residence Portioa—Mu- nicipal Notes. This morning the Ways and Means Co mmit tee of the House of Delegates met again to con- sider the appropriation bill for the ensuing year. Messrs. Stone, Clark, Weisenburger, Hays and Sullivan were in attendance. The first item of consequence reached was the appropriation for sewers. Mr. Weisen- burger eaid that since 183 the Sewer Commissioners bad failed to make any provis- ion for the southern sewer system, leaving one-eighth of the entire city with very im- perfect drainage. He said that the Health Department had repeatedly called attention to the insufficient drainage. It was claimed that the diphtheria which had visited about nine houses out of ten in the South End last winter was on account of the sewerage. Deputy Sewer Commissioner Wise was calied and stated that the department wanted to complete the sewer by covering the creek in which the sewer ends, ifthe money could be obtained. He estimated that it would cost about $20,000 to construct it fom Broadway to the sewer. No positive action was taken on this item. City Marshal Neiser and Pound-keeper Bar- ney Thorman, called in to get back the $3,000 cut off of the dog-catching appropriation. Thorman claimed he could not feed his horses and pay his men for $8,000, and the appropria- tion was accordingly raised to 000, the amount allowed by the Council. Mr. Hays recorded his vote against the expenditure, as he did not think it an economic estimate, as he had been informed that some persons were willing to take the contract for the profit on the dead dogs. On the item of street reconstructions the committee struck out the following — art improvements: Second street, from Rutger to Geyer avenue; Poplar street, from Twelfth to Fourteenth street; Park avenue, from Broad- way to Eleventh street; Carr street, from First to Third street; Cass avenue, from Thir- teenth street to Hogan street. The Street Commissioner will be given an opportunity to discuss the necessity of the D recon- structions, and it is possibie that this item will be reconsidered. To-morrow the committee will vote on the estimates and prepare its re- port to the House. Private Enterprise. The property-owners between Sarah street and Forest Park are contemplating building a million-dollar sewer in the valley. There has been some question about the willingness of contractors to. undertake the work. This has not, however, checked the projectors. Some of the property-holders propose to form a syndicate which will under- take the work, if any trouble is encoun- tered in this respect. The Sewer Commis- sioner has recommended an extension of the West End of Mill Creek sewer to connect with the proposed drain for the large territory just os of Vandeventer avenue, Sewer District — 0. 2 Bids for sprinkling. The Board of Public Improvements met at noon to-day, Acting President Murpy inthe chair, to receive bids for sprinkling of the twenty-six districts which were ordered re- advertised at the last letting when sixteen contracts were awarded. Three of the bids were informal, owing to small omissions in the preparation of the papers. According to the practice of the Board these will be re- advertised. Several of the bids received were lower than those submitted at the last award. The Board has, however, decided not to go above $100 per mile per month, and it is proba- ble that some of the high bidders of to-day will be given another opportunity to present figures once more. treet-Commissioner Turner and Acting-President Murphy have been appointed a committee of two to examine the bids.

Hull, M. A. Wolff and Messrs. Crouch and Block. A prominent feature of the evening's enter- tainment was a guiet little game (of pro- gressive euchre) in which most of the entlemen resent, particularly the ost bimself, proved themselves be adepts. This pleasing amusement was occa- sionally varied by the distribution of a certain harmless decoction (an invention of the Judge), which had the effect ot greatly exhil- arating thespirite of the visitors.

Lrirsic, July 7.—Erhardt, one of the men who has been on trial here for treason during the past few days, was yesterday liberated by thecourt, the charge against him not being sustained. Counsel for Klein, for whom the procurator had asked a nine years’ sentence, at hard labor, urged extenuating circum- stances and declared that there was an absence of proof that Klein had tried to seduce others from their alle - giance, lie had simply acted from motives of patriotism. The prisoners Klein and Grebert were asked whether they de- sired to make any statement. In reply Klein excitedly protested against the punish- ment which was demanded forhim. It was too great, He had committed no base crime. Hischief offense cousisted in being caught. ‘‘Ponish me,“ he exclaimed, ‘‘as a French epy. I was born a Frenchman, and am no German traitor.’’ Grebert was greatly de- jected and aimost sobbed while protesting his innocence. France. COMMANDER LE STRANGE.

The stables and the sheds on the Parts are built entirely of wood, and It is Seneral belies that wooden buildings, in. —— such an important fortress as the Citadel and in a place where large quantities of powder are stored, should not have been tolerated. An investigation will be held. THE EXCITED CITIZENS did not seek their homes until 8 o'clock this morning. The most intense alarm prevailed throughout the city until the fire was cot thoroughly under control. At one time there were fully 5,000 men, women and children walking the streets. Many made thoir way to the surrounding country in carriages and carts and · on foot, fearing an explosion of the powder in the magazine would occur. This feeling was, perhaps, most manifest along Champlain street, right under the great fortress, as it was known that A GREAT QUANTITY OF POWDER was stored therein. When, therefore, several explosions occurred at midnight, the people held their breath and sought the best shelter available. The crowdon the Glacis and on the hill leading to the Citadel, made a ter- rible rush down the bill till they got where they supposed them. selves out of range of the dangerous missiles. This alarm subsided somewhat when It was found that no damage was caused and the subsequent explosions caused little fear. The Governor-General’s and officers’ quarters, stables of artillery, hospital, and the provincial armory, which contains 25,000 stands of arms, were uninjured... The loss is estimated at $150,000; no insurance. BISHOP BINNY’S SUCCESSOR. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, July 7.—Rev. E. G.

Judge Noonan Says He Will Positively De- liver It To- Morrow. Judge FE. A. Noonan, in a conversation to- day with a Post-DIsPaTCH reporter, said that he would render his decision tn the Joseph Schnaider case testing the Sunday law to- morrow, perhaps early in the afternoon. began work upon it yesterday at (p. m., and did not leave my desk except for a few moments until 8 o’clock this morning,’’ said the Judge. I had the briefs of both Messrs. McGinnis and Lodge on the day of the trial. Mr. Kent, for the State, gave mo his brief yesterday and Mr. Mekeigban furnished his to-day. SofarIhave gone minutely into every authority quoted and read every reter- ence and decision submitted by either side. I have gone over seven-eighths of the ground, as you know, three years ago, and my famil- larity with the subject has enabled me to be expeditious in the matter now.“ Is there any objection, Judge, to the Post- DISPATCH saying what your decision in the case will de? ‘ee judge emiled quietly at what he proba- bly considered the audacity of the question and then at once grew more serious. Les, I would not like to have you anticl- hate the decision. Idon't know why 4 jadge aving made up his mind and being simply engaged in the mechanical work of putting his opinion in writing should not tell the pub- lic what thatopinionis before he delivers it fromthe bench, but precedent is against it and I will not offend by ignoring it. Has the agitation worried you?’’ ‘*‘I wounldn’t put it that way, but Iwill say that I never knew what a man could stand un- tilthis question came up. I believe I have equalled physically the proverbial endurance ot a newspaper man. On Sunday I was at work from midnight Saturday, andl had not retired, because I cannot sleep, as a rule, before that hour, and had been awake of course, all Saturday. Iwas at work, as i was saying, until Sunday midnight, responding to calls from people who were arrested. At midnight Sunday the matter did not stop, even, but continued until nearly 38 in the morning. Men were arrested late at night and their friends were just getting to them. The few days fol- lowing and all the week were justas bad. On the bonds of these saloonista were brewers and their friends, and some of the most prom}- nent men in town. They could not be refused a hearing, and they kept coming to my house. ‘When would this case or that case be set; ‘wonld it be necessary for them to come into court; ‘when would a decision be reached,’ etc. Not only at home and here in the court-room was that the case but on the street until 1 was at last in self-defense obiiged to travel in a cab, and the Judge drew along breath in fond recollection of the biessed immunity he had enjoyed in the han- som. And now, when you might haveamoment’s — ot reporters are botherlag you; aren't they? 'm too polite to say, replied the Judge, and with his laugh the interviewer left him. A REPORT DENIED. The Northwestern Road Marks off $10,000,- 000 of the Surplus. New YorK, July 7.—Reports were circulated on Wall street that at the last annual meeting of the Northwestern Railroad it had been de- cided to retire $10,000,000 worth of bonds. Vice- President Sykes, however, states that the report is incorrect. What was done was to mark off the surplus $10,000,000, and reduce the cost of the property that amoynt, and this action cfinches all talk of a scrip*dividend te represent the accumulated surpius. The action was hastened somewhat by frequent calls from the stockholders for a divi- sion of the surplus, and as it is against the policy of the management to water 298828 in any way, the resolution charging off the surplus and marking down the cost of the property was placed before the stockholders and adopted by them at the annual meeting. LUCKY HE DIDN'T FIND HER. A Man, Separated From His Wife, Suicides Near Her House. New YorK, July 7.—William H. Clark, a married man who was separated from his wife. and family, sbot himself in a fit of despondency, on the sidewalk in front of 365 Wyckoff street, Brooklyn, where his wife lived. After he left dis family, Clark lived with his mother, who is in comfortable circumstances. It is thougnt that he contemplated shooting his wife first. We called at her house, twice this morning, but was forcibly ejected with- out seeing her. Taking his position in front of the bouse he drew a revolver from bis ocket and discherged one shot into his head, Filling himself instantly. A Destructive Storm. READING, Pa., July 7.—Last night’s storm did a vast amount of damage in this section of the State. At Meisenburg, Lehigh County, the church was struck by lightning and entirely consumed. Loss, $8,000. Near Kutztown, this county, Peter Klein s large barn was struck, and with ali the contents destroyed. Loss, $15,000.

To Succeed the Late Archibald A. Talmage— One of the Two Youngest General Man- agers in the Country—Sketch of Mr. Hays, His Railroad Experience and the Reasons fer His Promotion. The temporary appointment of Mr. Charles M. Hays as general manager of the Wabash Western Railway, to succeed the late A. A. Talmage, has been permanently con- firmed by the Board of Direct- ors of the road at a meeting held in New York to-day. This intelligence was re- ceived by telegraph from New York with the further-intelligence that Mr. James F. How, Treasurer of the road, had been elected Vice-President. The two places left vacant by the death of the late General Manager and Vice-President are thus filled by the choice of the Board of Directors. THE NEW GENERAL MANAGER ot the reorganized roads, Mr. Hays, is one of the youngest men who is fill- ing the position in this country, as he is only about 38 years of age, the only other man of his age filling the office of General Manager of a railroad being President Stone of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Young as he is, however, Mr. Hays has had a long and active experience in the railroad business, mest of which has been spent under the late A. A. Talmage. The appointment is only the confirmation of his temporary p- pointment immediately afterthe death of Mr. Talmage. Mr. Hays’ first experience in the rail- road business was in the Missouri Pagjfic, into the service of which he entered after leaving school and passed through nearly every department of the road, serving in the Auditor's office the freight and passsenger departments and the division, assistant and general superin- tendents’ offices. In 1874 he went into the office of Mr. Talmage, who was then General Superintendent of the At- lantic & Pacific and the Missouri Pacific and since then was constantly with him, ex- cepting a brief period, until his death. With Mr. Talmage he was in the oflice of the general transportation manager of the Gould system, and Vice-President of the Wabash and Missouri Pacific systems of 1882. In 188 when Mr. Talmage wus made General Manager of the Wabash, St. Louls & Pacific, Mr. Hays was made his assistant and has remained in this position until he suc- ceeded him temporarily and now permanently in the General Managership. It is not known what salary will be attached te the office while Mr. Hays holds it nor was it stated whether Mr. How will con- tinue to act as treasurer in conjnnction with the office of Vice-President, but it is probable that he will do so. MR. HOW who succeed to the Vice- Presidency has hada long and honorable connection with the Wabash and ite predecessors, extending over nearly a score of years and in positions of trust He was the agent of the late receivers and on the reorganization of the property into the Wabash Western was made director and Treasurer. Mr. Hays stated to-day that the organization of the force of the road would remain asitisfor the present and the road would be conducted as before. NIGHT POST-OFFICES. Location of the Concentration Letter-Boxes —The Signal Office. To-day Postmaster Hyde selected the places for the location of the concentration boxes for the night collections. As already de- scribed in the PostT- DISPATCH they will be placed so as to accom- modate the carriers who willdump their mail coliections into the neafest one of these big boxes. The accunralation will be taken by wagons to the main office about if p. m., which will save the carriers'the trip down town. The bexes were originally in- tended to be but five, but as Station C at 3178 Easton avenue has a box adapted to the purpose it will be used, thus making six. The location of the other five, as determined to-day, is as follows: Thirteenth street and Cass avenue. Union Depot. Sikteenth and Wash streets. Jefferson avenue and Market street. Jefferson avenue and Morgan street. The location of these boxes is important, as they will practically be late open post oftices at which belated posters can mail a letter if their letter-box has been emptied by the carrier. Letters can be de- posited at these concentration boxes till the wagon arrives. The dimensions of each box isasiollows: height, 3feet; breadth,2; depth, I. They were — to-day and sent this afternoon where they were formally inepected with some curiosity by the carriers. They will be placed in position as soon as possible. SIGNAL SPRVICE IMPROVEMENTS. This mornine the paraphernalia for the Signal Station at Forest Park arrived in this city and were at once taken in charge by Sergt. Weber, who superintended their removal to the park and has been busy ali day arranging them for the commencement of observations in the next few davs. He hopes to be ready with the sub- urban station by Monday. Whether the readings taken there will be bulletined regularly depends éntirely on the wish of the eople. The local office will act under special nstructions from Washington, which have not yet been received. The Gutileok is good forthe local office to have a sufficiency of inastrument ex- posures. Orders have been ro- ceived from Washington to let bids at once for the erection of a shelter shed on the Custom-house roof, on the southwest corner, a place that was suggested by an in- specting officer several years ago. With these several changes made the public may expect more reliable readings than they have been in the habit of seouring from the furnace-heated aren of the Custom-house. Sergt.

The Chicago Citizens’ Association After the Aldermanic Ring. * CnicaGco, July 7.—A morning paper says: For some months past the Citizens’ Associ- ation has been making investigations of the Aidermanic ring, and during the past few weeks has redoubled its exertions. Just how much bas been discovered the officers of the association refuse, of course, to state. It is obvious, hewever, that tf the matter be sifte to the bottom, and an inside history of city legislation during the last ten years be secured, the sensation sure to ensué willeclipse that caused by the in- dictment of the county plunderers. Like the thieving County Commissioners, the thieving Aldermen belong to both of the old political factions. One of the Aldermen w used to act with the „Big Four’’ combMation, which used to dominate the City Council, and who sailed for Europe some months ago, has determined to stay there for an indefinite time, and has sent a power of attorney to an intimate friend in this city for the purpose of havin his property converted into cash, with whic he intends to live in Austria’s capital.

The Girls Should Go Tricycling. From Daughters of America. The women of America are learning the value of good health. Ruddy com- lexions, and even tan and sunburn, are ecoming fashionable. That terrible word ‘‘athletic’’ does not now grate 80 harshly on their ears, because mauvy of them are not afraid to develop their muscles. As tricycling, therefore, com- bines with healthful out-of-door exercise delightful companionship, the pleasures of travel amidst charming rural scenery, and gratification of the senses through exhilaration, the sport has come to stay. Carriage riding does not accom- plish this, for thereis no physical exer- cise; walking does not approach it, be- cause only certain muscles are used, and the fatigue from supporting the weight of the body is often severe. In cycling a dif- ferent set of muscles are employed; the muscles of the neck, shoulders, arms, chest, back and limbs are all brought into lay and in such manner that the strain is equalized, and, in a measure, dis- tributed over the whole body. As tothe difficulties of learning to ride, they exist chiefly in the imagination. Half an hour’s practice will accustom the feet to the rotary motion of the pedals; after that it is only a matter of development of the muscles by every-day usein riding such distances as the rider can accomplish without strain. Nature will do the rest, and in time a day’s record of thirty or forty miles can easily be accomplished. — Mr. Sam Turney’s Famous Temperance Speech. From the Dayton (Tenn.) News. Rev. Dr. Barbee says one of the best temperance lectures he ever heard was delivered by Bam Turney, while a candi- date for an office within the gift of the voters of Warren and White Counties many yearsago. While speaking at Mo- Minnville be was called upon to express his views upon the temperance question. Mr. Turney had friends on both sides. 5o he began by saying: ‘*PELLOW-CITIZENS: hee ot op upon for atemperance speech. : falow-citinens. ou should not drink. i you take one drink you will want two; if -ou take two drinks you will want three; f you take three drinks you will wan four, and if you take four you will get drunk.

What Some of Them Mean and Whence They Come. From the Buffalo Courier. Occasionally the subject of names is made a study by some scholar in search of fresh literary fields and book pastures new. The venerable David Dudley Field not long siuce delivered an interesting lect- ure on the names of towns in this State, hurling all the invectives in his op- ulent magazine at the half-learned indi- vidual, whoever he may have been, who strewed this goodly region with the cast- ad 8 0 le One and Rome. Prof. 0 ale College prepared a ve entertaining pamphlet on the names of the Connecticut} towns, and pointed out that the absence of 282 color in them bore witness. the diplomatio caution which characterize the colonial history of the State, thus presenting a sharp contrast to the course of the elder colony of Massachusetts, the list of towns in which reads like a page of Debrett.’’ Occasionally a reporter in a dry time helps out his quota with a scintil- lation of wit on the never-failing theme of the names of his fellow-citizens of Polish extraction if he live in Buffalo, or of those of Welsh antecedents. if Utica claims him for herown. But it must be said that the subject of names enerally is far from being worked for all fi is worth, as Mr. Emerson might have put it. The names of towns are often inter- esting. Sometimes a story goes with them, as in the case of Horseheads or Penn Yan. Sometimes they commemorate individuals in a quaint manner, such as Wilkes-Barre, or Angel- ica, which bears the name of one of Gen. Schuyler’s daughters; or Marilla, in Erie County, named after one of the most re- spected and esteemed of the mothers in our Buffalo Israel, who is still with us. So Euclid, O., which in turn gave a name to a famous street, was a tribute of respect from the original surveyors to their patron saint in mathematics. Again a name may illustrate a queer course of corruption, as Killingworth, which was originally Kenilworth. But the names of towns certainly do not surpass in interest as fields of study those of families. The author of one of the volumes in the ‘*American Commonwealth” series. Prof. Johnston says that the names of the Union soldiers who went from the State whose history he is telling will almost show which town is entitled to each man. And it might be remarked that a traveler who reads the signsin the Western cities of this country can gain a pretty good idea of the antecedents of its merchants. If a Coffin is met in Indiana the chances are stron that the roar of the surf upon Nantucket’s coast is a recollec- tion of his youth, and that he is a de- scendant of the original Tristram Coffin. The Balis are for the most part from Block Island. Theonly eertain thing abouta Ciark is that he is from some part of New England, where the name jis commoner than Smith. A L’Hommedieu, a Loper ora Horton is from Long Island, an Horton’s Point Light is there to witness if welie. A Batchelder or a Prouty is prob- ably from Worcester County, Mass., and a Woodruff from Litchfield County, Conn. The Bartons are Rhode Is@gnd- ers. and proud of telling how one member of their family captured the British General Prescott. The Colts are neighbors of theirs, having come from Norwich, the rose of New ingland. If one should happen to be in Cheektowaga and hear mentioned the name of Selden Ely, it would be safe to call on him and inquire what sort of a run of shad they hadat Lyme this year. The same in- formation could be obtained from a Bush- nell, but not from a Waite; the latter comes from further east, from beyond the shad limit. Of course the Depews and the wbole race of Vans are descendants of Dutchmen of the Mohawk and Hudson valleys, and every Evans or Ellicott is a Hving record of the romantic inter- marriages of those families and the one home that sheltered them all at Ellicott Mills, Md. The California Girl Defended. From the San Francisco Call. We are at times open by descriptions in English novels of California girls of so extraordinary a type that we wonder where on earth the author found his model. On reilection we discover that he evolved his California girl out of his inner consciousness. He was never here. [He never knew a California girl or a California family. He found by the mapthatSan Fran- cisco is on the Pacific, and he judiciously concluded that the blending of Briton culture with Pacific coast barbarism must give birth toa curious type in which the Arcadian simplicity of nature was toned but not effaced by the polish of civiliza- tion. Hence his Galatea is a hoyden, whose object in life is to get married, in order to be divorced afterward, who has the mauners of a soubrette with morals which hover ominously near the limits of propriety. She flings money out of the window, fiirts with married men, is not averse to a tete-a-tete with a ceachman, and is equally reckless of the warnings of a chaperone and of the rules of society. We put it to those who constitute society—where can a girl be found of whom this could be said to be a portrait? Yet such girls are to be found in a dozen modern English novels, and whatis more curious still they are ac- cepted in many societies in the East as California types. No such mistake is made in Paris, where the California colo- ny has been known for years. But in w«sthetic Boston and New Tork it is the fashion to affect ray well-bred surprise when a particularly refined lady turns out to be from San Francisco. “You know,’* said a charm- ing dame du monde, when a girl comes from California to our watering places in search of a husband, we expect some dis- count from the asking prices.’’ As to culture, Californians ask no odds of their Eastern friends. Some one has said that the culture of girls is like the cooking of roast beef. Some people like it rare and some well done. But there are Eastern girls in whom culture is carried to sucha reternatural degree that one cannot lp remembering that nobody likes over- done beef. Three Years of Skimmed Milk, From the Philadeiphia Nes. Louis Herbst, who keepsa saloon and hotel on Market street, between Front and Second streets, Camden, and who is one of the best-known Germans in South Jersey, celebrated yesterday his third an- niversary of a Ss Ik diet. Mr. Herbst is a large, finely formed man of about 50 years of age, and weighs about two hundred pounds. Three years ago he was afflicted with dyspepsia and kidney troubles and was advised by his physician to try a diet of skimmed milk exclusively. He tried the remedy for a couple of months and was so benefited by the diet that he determined to try it for a year. At the expiration of the latter period Mr. Herbst’s health was almost perfect. Far from becoming thin or emaciated from the long- continued use of skimmed milk, his form was, if possible, even more ro- tund than before, and by the advice of his doctor he decided to adopt skimmed milk as his exclusive diet permanently. For three years he has eaten or drank ab- solutely nothing but the article named— not even water—and declared to his friends, who visited him yesterday, that he proposed to continue skimmed milk and dispense with steaks, breadand but- ter and beer for the rest of his life. The Queen of the Beigians. From the London Evening News. It is a remarkable fact, but none the less worthy of record, that Queen Hen- riette, of Belgium, is populer every- where but in the country of her adoption. — | the little Archduchess was loved by one,and even to this day her memory is beld in deep affection. In En- gland, also, Her — 2 is much es- tèeemed; but in Belgium it is quite the ex- ception to find any one who 8 u word to say for her. Some state the reason for this is her leaning towards and open encouragement of the Jesuits, — us the Queen affects complete contem of public opinion, her feelings for the Papists have never been disgu in the least. As a general rule the Queen is seldom seen in the town of Brussels itself, her daily excursions in her pouy-carriage, wn by six cream- colored animals, which she drives herself, being confined to the Bois de Bou- logue and Ixelles, the suburbs of Brussels, or to the beautiful unds surrounding the summer palace of Laeken. The Queen is rather short, not by any means ill- - ing and dressed in the plainest, some say the shabbiest manner possible. Like her cousin, the Empress of Aus Her Maj- esty is passionately-devoted to horses nd passes most of her time in her stab which are invaribly kept to the pink perfection in point of cleanliness and order. BEAUTIES OF THE PACIFIC. Why the Japanese Women Are so- come and Attractive, From the London Times. The general attra¢tiveness of the Japan- ese fair sex, as to which there are hardl two opinions, is due in a more than — nary degree to the becoming character of their raiment and the grace with which it is worn. Few Japanese women physica] beauty of those lofty types w are the Western ideals. They are for the most comely and engaging, rather than handsome. k eyes and hair, penciled eyebrows, well-set necks and re- markably good teeth, together with bright, artless manners and a smile, serve to draw attention from ir- regularities of feature which will y bear critical scrutiny. It is the combina- tion of physique, grace, dress and man- ner that makes up the agreeable sum total of the average owe girl or matron. As well in the brisk, bronze-cheeked serving maid, with her homely but tasteful gar- ments, her eyes of kindness and her pre ways, as in tne refined little lady of hig degree, pale-skinned and gentle-man- nered, in her rich, exquisitely neat dress of ceremony, the visitor and the resident alike recognize most pleasing specimens of womankind. But they alsor ize how much of the general outward effect is really due to the picturesqueness of the national garb. If confirmation of this be needed, it is sufficient to behold the same women clad in foreign clothes, or mix in any gathering where the two —— can be seen together. Making full allowance for the disadvantages that, in the nature of things, must tell agalnst a costume to which its wearer is wholly un- accustomed, no one who has eyes to see can then hesitate as to the artistio superiority of the Japanese apparel. And besides its esthetio merits, the latter has other points of excellence. Itis healthy, in that it involves no distortion or compression of the kinds im Western’ fashions. If the _ skirts b oF a well-dressed gathered somewhat too tightly for — active locomotion— perhaps the only fault that can be found in her whole attire —no other part of her frame is subjected to unnatural constraint; while the mass- ive girdle gives-warmth and protection to the chief bodily organs. Secondly, it 18 very much less —— than the costly and irrational bhailiments of the West. Jewelry, moreover, forms no part of it in — station of life. Again, its fashions are | abid lady’s robes are ing. THE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN OF TONGA. From the Sidney News. The women are beautifyl in the ex- treme and graceful as fawns, just dark enough to be more picturesque than white women. They havea coquettish, fasci- nating manner which would do credit toa Parisian belle. And yet they are chaste by inclination and enactment. No white stranger is allowed to sleep on shore. The men are marvels of symmetry, though they eat little animal food. They are, however, insolent, over- bearing and in other ways objection- able. Tonga-taboo means the tabooed or sucred land, and Ko Tonga hau’? (lam a Tongese’’) is as proud a boast as ‘‘Civis Romanum” of old. To sprinkle a dirty sulu with patchouli and swell him- self out in the mission-house is the joy of the by, ory masher. The country is 80 fertale that they need work but little, and the hardest labor imposed on them is to ay the taxes of the king and the contri- butions to the missionaries, by whom they are or were ridden, in copra, oil, tortoise shell or coin. They ofttimes put their horses and crops in the plate,“ generall in the remembrance of some dead grand- mother. : * Her Idea of a Hot Bath. From London Society. A motherly“ are old female with gray hair, solid ankles, a scarcity of teeth and a bonnet in her hand recently paid a shilling fora hot bath ata Brighton es- tablishment. She remained in two and a half hours, and as she paid no atten- tion whatever to the pathetic ap- peals of the attendant that person at last ut her head in at the door. She found her customer washing a mangy- looking poodle in the bath, the dog having evidently been smuggled in in the basket while two eggs were cooking in a bow under the hot-water tap, some tea was being brewed, and a plate. knife and fork, some bread, cheese and other victuals were laid out on the window-sill. The attendant tried to explain that the place was not a restaurant or dog-pu - ing establishment, but her ears were sud- denly boxed, and the customer only de- parted upon being threatened with the police. ; KASKINE.

On bis recent return from trip he was asked by members of the Execu- tive Board whether he meant to retiré at the end of the year or at the end of the present term. His answer was „„ meant that I did not intend to serve after this year. I meant that, and J intend to say it everywhere I speak to the people. In personal letters he has ex- pressed the same intention. His reasons are the distress he suffers because of the dissen- sions in the order, the false accusations which sre made against him and, lastly, his desire for privacy and rest. That he has vorn out, mentally and physically, canj not pe denied, and his intention to retire fomm active service as the head of the nights of Labor is equally well known to bis Intimate associates. Nevertheless, there ge other careful watchers of events in the ybor World, who contend that this is merely s repetition of what he said two years ago. just previous to the special session at Cleve- und, last year, in reply to reports of dissatis- netlon, Mr. Powderly said: I the order does pot want me to hold my position I will resign at once. At Richmond he said substantially the same thing. A HARD TASK. Albert Cariton of the General Executive Board who was spoken to to-day said: ‘‘ihe den should come to men of sense with sor- rowand pain thatthere should be any need fora successor for Mr. Powderly, and whoever does take up the position must take it up as the bardest task that could come to anybody inthe world. This would and should make us feel that no other man than Powerly can ever expect to perform the work of the position acceptably to the general order. ‘This would be so, even if it should turn out that Mr. Powderly’s successor should be his superior.“ N hy virtue of his remarkable personality, as well as the office he holds, Mr. Powderly is actually the center and pivot around which moves the whole af the great army. It is said that such members of the B ard as T. F. Mo- Guire, John W. Hayes, and Ira B. Arlesworth, und such officers as ©. II. Litchman are not bowed down by the weight of responsibility to betorne by him who shall hereafter serve as General Master Workman. An incident is told by 1 young man, an at- tache at the general headquarters, illus- trative of this subject. A hw days ago Mr. McGuire, on appearing before the other members of the Genera! Board, said to Mr. Carlton: ‘‘Isee ina newspaper this morning that you and Lare to be competitors for the position of General Master Workman.’’ roW DEKLY’ 8 PROBABLE SUCCESSOR. ‘‘Any member of the Board who really aspires to that place, said Mr. Carlton, „must have a crack in his head. Mr. Hayes is sald to have laughed at this re- ply, while the other members present said nothing. Speaking again of the responsibilities, Mr. Cariton said: ‘*The man who would succeed Mr. Powderly should prepare bimself for this work, as he might make ready for the other world. Heshould do itin the same frame of mind. To take upon one’s self that work would be to meet one’s opeu grave full in the face. What is needed after Mr. Powderly is gone is a general. a commander of men, a leader, toactonthe offensive, not on the de- fensive. 1 don't believe now that the General Executive Board ought to waste ite time in de- fending itself, but should make attacks where attacks are least expected. Outside the present members of the Execu- tive Board, the leaders who havethe largest following are: George McNeil, Boston; J. R. Buchanan, Chicago; Wm. Barrett, Philadel- » phia and Richard Travelleck Pittsburg. Iu- bide the Board the recognized aspirants are C. H. Lehman, T. B. MoGuire, J. W. Hayes, W. li. Bailey. A. A. Crofton, judged by his utter- ances, and T. Bb. Barry, by his own opinions, can not be said to be aspirants, although they would possibly Mr. Litchman is said to be willing toaccept any high office that may be tendered him. T. B. McGuire has gained much influence since he became a member. He has broadened and “deepened in thought and opinion from the T. B. MoeGuire who was known as the tnvincible Master Workman of District 4% in New York, and has developed a accept if called on. great deal of executive ability. J. W. Hayes, though secretary, keeps his hand hidden, and although it cannot be denied that his influence on Mr, Powderly’s syinpathetic temperament has often wrought lil to the order, the fact is not generally known, and consequently does not operate against him. W. H. Balley’s record is a creditable one, as is also that of Ira B. Ayriesworth, but neither of these officers has acquired a large following. As fo Mesars. Harry and Crofton, they are undoubtedly the most popularmeninthe Board, next to Mr, Powderly, but what the future has in store for them is hard to predict. ANTI-MONGOLIAN VIGILANTES.

PORTLAND, Ore., July 7.—Recent reports from ldabo are to the effect that a numberof Chinese mining camps scattered along the Snake River have been raided.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New York, July 7.—Lee Ah Chong and Wong Ohung, two of the principal Chinese barbers on Mott street, are at war with each other on rates. The tonsorial art among the New York Chinese is something of a monopoly. Two years ago there was only one professional bar- ber among nearly 6,000 Chinamen. He made quite a fortune out of bis trade and a few months ago returned to China with quite a large bank account. The charge was 75 cents for a shave and gueue braid, but the single barber's success here soon the Golden Gate and in a short time ee knights of the razor came and set- tled here. Immediately a war of rates began. From 75 cents the charge was reduced to 50, and this rate was steadily adhered to by all the barbers until afew days ago, when it leaked out that Wong Chung was secretly braiding queues at the rate of 55 cents per head; this In- eluded a round shave of the head, fifteen min- utes tickling of the ears and a shave under the eye - lids. e Ah Chong, his principal op. onent, hung out a sian upon flaming red o paper with the following 1 cael ty-five cents a shave. including ear-tickling, aout shaving, finger and toe-nail pulling. The latter clause was what caught my eye and aroused my curiosity. Asoending the high stoop at 22 Mott street I pushed open a pair of small, newly made, shutter- like doors and there met Ah Chong face to face. want a shave.’’ „All lightee,’ said the barber smilingly. ‘*You need not braid “| queue nor shave my head any, but go ahea with the balance of the programme.’ A — mays. This seemed to please 0 mensely, and I especially told him that I would pay the sameasif he had done the whole thing as advertised. Ah Chong opened a small drawer and took from it a whole handful of what looked like darning needles, chop-sticks, carpenters’ tools and dentists’ apparatus, ramrods and floor mops, all made on a very smail scale. He first picked out a flne steel lancet and asmall hand glass. The former he gently inserted deep in my ear. It felt as if a million fleas had got in tnere and ail gone crazy rofessor im- at once. Ah Ohong cried out at times, don't be scared, no hurtee ou. On, too muchee dirt.“ The curious sbaped silken mop was now introduced in the ear in place of the lancet. He twirled the mop 7 sage and made other funny motions with it, so that a string of very dust fell before me. The third instrument wasa pair of fine long steel pincers, used to take out any objects of hair that the mop could not. Be- sides thig, it is used for ere perform. ance, which is the tickling of the ear internally. This was done by holding it in the ear so that the fine point barely touched the drum, while the prongs wuld gently Pry open by the use of a stationary screw. he top of this ecrew was then gently hit with a little steel hammer, the vibration thus produced sending A MOST CHARMING SENSATION through the ear.

More instruments were taken from more drawers and the operation on my eyes began.

My face was now washed in luke-warm water, with a dirty looking towel and sponge, after which my arms were bared. The barber took one of my hands in his right while his left rested on my shoulder, while he gave me two or three hard pulls as if to see if the bones were properly put together, and then every finger was quickly pulled so that each gave a loud snap that fairly made me lose my senses. It was done so quickly, vet so hard, that I really did not know thatthe five loud reports came out of my own fingers. Ah Chong was about to proceed with my toes in like manuer, but I told him that I had business somewhere else which must be immediately attended to. Wong Chong will possibly reduce his rates to 15 cents ashave by the night, and throwina free lunch or a box of tea. Wone CHIN Foo. A JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE. Southern Publishers Projecting the Estab- lishment of a Paper in New York. By Telegraph to the POsST-DISPATCRH. NEW ORLEANS, July 7.—The report has been current for some time in this city that a num- ber of Southern newspaper proprietors pro- pose to establish anewspaper in New York. Conferences were known to have been held between Messrs. E. A. Burke of the New Orleans Times-Democrat; A. H. Belo of the Galveston News andthe Dallas News; H. W. Grady of the Atlanta Constitution, and W. J. Keating of the Memphis Appeal. Maj. Burke said to-day that there was a project to publish a paper in New York. He tnus set forth the object of the paper: A Prince of the royal families never basa pain in his toe, or a Princess anew gown that the fact is not faithfully chronicled the next morning in New York, but the 9,000 columns of the great metropolitan journals can take no notiee of the fourteen great States of the South that are n the rest of the States in the ratio of their progress, and gaining in wealth at the rate of nearly $200,000,000 a year. Investigation of the subject proved that this neglect was not due to prejudice. Business reasons were at the bot- tom of the matter. New York publishers 4 * tor the —— aggregate circulation, n New York, and Gannot give due space to the South without throwing away local and spe- cial matter that is demanded bythe oosmo- politan population. Upon reflection I became satisfied that this field could be occupied prof- itably for the South and for those who could and would undertake the work, and in many conversations with Messrs. Grady, Belo and Keating I found a concurrence of opinion. The steps taken so far are only preliminary. Ne- gotiations are pending with the New York press proprietors, news associations, tele- graph companies, and about all that can be said further is that the gentlemen named are disposed to undertake the publication of a newspaper in New York to be chiefly devoted to the material interests of the touth, if proper arrangements Cau be made to that end, There are no financial difficuities in the way. We would throw about 20,000 words of Southern news daily into New York, gathered at such central points as New Orleans, Galveston, Dallas, Mempbis, Nashville, Atlanta and Ren- mond, and itis, perhaps, needless to say that the news service would be something more than the sensational record of casualties now furnished.’’ KIND DEEDS.

JUDGE DILLON DENIES A DIVO TO MBS. MARGERET C. SOMES, * She Is Permitted te Bring a New Suit on Other Grounds—A Remarkable Case of Marriage Withont Ceremony—William H. Nave Suesthe City for Damages—A Pit- fall on Lindell Avenue—Grievance of Compton Hill Residents—Matters in Liti- gation. ’ , Judge Dillon to-day rendered a decision in the divorce case of Margaret O. Somes against Samuel M. Somes, in which the parties lived together thirteen years without a marriage | ceremony. A decree dismissing the petition is entered, but without prejudice to the right of the plaintiff to bring a new action for divorce. She alleged as the ground for divorce that Mr. Somes, for a long period prior to October 25, 1884, had offered her great indignities and finally on that day he drove her from him and from home. The fact that she may have had an- other ground of divorce could not avail her in this case as she did not allege any other ground in her petition. Judge Dillon holds that the evidence did not show that she was entitled a decree of divorce on the grounds alleged, saying nothing about the fact of whether there was a marriage or not. The evidence showed that on the 2th of October, 1884, the plaintiff andthe defendant came to an agreement by which Mr. Somes gave the plaintiff some cash and some notes, amounting in all to $500, and the plaintiff’ according to her own statement agreed to o south and visit her daughter living at Vicksburg. The Court thinks that the plainriff was satisfied with the arrangement. There was nothing to show that this action was not voluntary on her part, consequently the allegation that she was driven from home at that time was not proven. The plaintiff went South and did not return to St. Loais except for a few days at one time, when she stopped with some friends until the opens of this year, a period of abou two and a half years. It would seem that, hav- ing agreed to accept $500 for visiting for two or three years, thatat the expiration of that time she ought to have offered to re- turn to her husband before bringing a suit for divorce. 80 far as the evidence shows she never spoke to him from the time she went South in October, 1884, until she brought this suit. It Mr. Somes, on the offer of the plaintiff to return aud live with him as his wife, should refuse to recognize her as such, or improperly treat her, it would be unjustto have her con- cluded by the judgment in this case based on these grounds. The dismissal is there- fore without prejudice to her right to bring a new suit. Shifting the Blame. The Lindell Railway Company to-day en- tered an answer to the amended petition of F. W. Bedard in his suit for „ growing out of a collision of a cable car witha Lindell car at the Morgan street crossing of Vandeventer avenue. It will be remembered that a ury in Judge Lubke’s Court gave Mr. edard * verdict for $4 000 but the Court subsequently set it aside as excess- ive. The Lindell Company denies that the accident was caused by any negligence on the part ofits driver, and avers that the negli- gence of the plaintiff himself contributed to the same; morevver, that the ceilision was the result of carelessness on the part ofthe Cable Company’s gripman. A Dangerous Pitfall. A damage suit for $500 was filed in the Circuit Court to-day by Wm. H. Nave against the St. Louis Qua Company and the city. Mr. Nave complains that the quarry com- pany caused an excavation to be made on Lindell avenue, a much-fre- quented thoroughfare for horsemen, and in violation of the provisions of the ordinance failed and neglected to place a fence around it or to guard it with red lights. The consequence was that on the IIth of April Mr. Nave’s horse, valued at 00, fell into the ex- cu vation and was killed. Tne action to re- cover damages is brought against the city and the quarry ople. Thos. W. Freeman also brought sult to-day against the city and the St. Louis Quarry Com- pany, claiming $2,000 damages for injuries re- ceived in the same way. It is alleged that the exgavation was a regular pitfall, and that no mans were adopted to warn persons of the danger. Notes in Court. Mary Hatzenberger has led a petition in the Circuit Court seeking a decree of divorce from George Hatzenberger. She alleges that he deceived her as to his condition of health and that he failed to furnish her with the neces- saries of life.

The residents of Louisiana avenue east of the Compton Hill Reservoir Park have taken the warpath against the Board of Health, threatening to carry their grievance into the courts unless they get relief atthe hands of the City Hall authorities. A petition signed by the residents iunmediately east of the park has been forwarded to the Board, again calling attention toa nuisance which has existed there for nearly two years past. It seems that it has been the practice of the park employes to dump the — and rotten vegetation from the slopes in one heap in the center grove of the enst drive. The odors arising therefrom are wafted into the open windows of the houses along Louisiana avenue, to the discom- fort, annoyance and injury of the health of the residents and their. families. Several cases of sickness during the warm weather have been directly attributed to the rotten grass dump at this spot, which is one of the most elevated in the city, and is chosen asa recreation ground for young children by families at a distance not aware of the nuisance right under the nestriis of the little ones. The complainants state that they have uttered their remonstrances more than once at the „ but the nuisance has never been Sr. Louis, Kansas Crrr & CoLorapo Rall road now open to Union, Franklin County, Mo., fer the conveyance of passengers and freight.

THE CIVIL COURTS. ~+ CLASS DISCRIMINATION, A Respectabie Oolered Man Forced to Ride im a Second-Class Car. By Telegraph to the PosT-Dispraten. CHARLESTON, 8. O., July 7.—Rev. W. A. Sinclair, atall, fine-looking colored man of genuine African extraction, is the latest vic- tim of the class disc mination on the Georgia railroads. He arrived here Tuesday trom Augusta, Ga. In stating hia grievances he said: ‘‘I am a native of Georgetown County, a minister of the Oongregational Chu roh, and doctor of medicine, having recentiy re- ceived my diploma from the medical college at Nashville, After receiving my degree my wife and Ileft Nashville on unlimited lokets (first class). Wegotalong all right until we reached Chattanooga, where we changed oars. We went into a first-class coach on the West- ern & Atlantic Road, in which we were enti- tied to seats according to the tickets that we heid. The conductor came to me and ordered us to the second-class car, Which was the smok- ing car. I refused to obey his commands. About en hour and a half after we left Chatta- nooga the conductor stopped the train. He ordered me to leave the car, which I refused to do, when he oalled three men to his assistance, seized me and forced me out into the smoking-car. One of the men struck mea severe blow on the breast, and after I had been forced into the smoking-car, used very rough language. The porter was ordered to remove our b 0 to he smoking-car, where my wife an re- mained until we reached Atlanta. At Atlanta we took our seats in a second-class car on the Georgia Railroad, — we paid for frst- class tickets. The second-class coach on the Western & Atlantic was very dirtyand the atmosphere in it was stifling, so dense was the oY smoke in which we were compelled to sit.’ Dr. Sinclair is avery sensible and self-re- specting man. He had several letters with him to prove his identity, one of them from R. E. Fraser, President of the Georgetown Bank, congratulating him on his marriage and in- closing a check with which to buya present for his wife, anda letter from A. ie amby, Principal of the Winyah-Winyah High School, congratulating him on having completed his medical course. He was in a good humor, but spoke with much feeling at the treatment he received. Although he would like to ob- tain some redress for his wrongs, he did not know where to go nor how to get it.

The following screed, written by a naval officer for private ciroulation and not in- tended for general publication, was found in the Navy Yard Saturday. It shows very plainly how badly doctors are treated in Uncle Sam's service and explains why good medical men prefer to remain in civil life: When the first of the Roach cruisers ar- rived atthe Navy Yard it was found that by some strange oversight a comfortable’ place had been allowed for the sick. The commanding officer of the vessel discover- ing this fact, immediately rectified it. The surgeon of the ship on finding the ee * went into the cabin to e about it. made some mild inquiries on the subject, when the Oapta in tenes ef asked; ng thunder What do you mean, sir, by coming into my cabin, sir, and making sug—sir—gestions, sir, about my ship, sir,” and incontinent- ly bounced the terrified doctor, sir, out of his cabin, sir. The doctor was so terrified that his hair, with the exception of a slight forelock, turned white. It was only after the most abject and profuse apologies that the Captain allowed him to stay in the—I beg pardon, in his—ser- vice. On one of the vessels during the war a young doctor, just M h the —— — n man on the sick list whom the captain did not want there. The man only had neumonia or something like hat It couldn’t have been a fever because the First Lieutenant always kept the berth deck (where the men sleep) wet nicely with salt water. The Captain at once sent for the doctor and demanded to know how he dared to put that man on the sick list. The frightened doctor at- tempted to mumble some feeble excuses, when the Captain roared out: Silence, bir, when you speak to your commanding moor!“ The poor doctor flew from the cabin and was next heard of at Omaha oe bie way West. It is believed he iss going. Another instance occurred where the doctor of aship had the audacity to com- plain because all the breathing-places and all the bathrooms, closets, etc., were appropriated by the captain, while the other officers and the crew were confined to the lower decks, This was none of the doctor’s business, as this state of things had always obtained and does still obtain. The captain at once had the doc- tor court-marshalled and condemned to death. But the doctor had a ull and his friends had the sen- nce mitigated to 2 for life. Hie is now serving out his term on the Wet Tortugas. Notwithstanding all these privileges itis impossible to get medical men to enter the navy. They have other advantages. Whether married or single when a doctor enters the service he is allowed to eat, sleep, dress and undress in u real sociable manner, in a nice little room in the steerage, about 6 by 8, with a dozen midshipmen. Still they won't come. cau’t imagine what they want. It must the earth. Thank goodness there is no morning. The closin Sristocracy in the lower ranks of our] sce lower prices in both ribs and lard.

A more en- couraging state of affairsis expected on the strength of the continued heavy outward movement of wheat—thus far this week 1, 114, 293 bu—which is certainly making the price look low on the actual merits of the articles. The trading this morning waa very slow, but the undertone was firm. Private cables were generally unfavorabie. Exporters and Wall street people were sellers onasmaliscale. The talk on corn from Chi- cago is coming very strong, and that alone makes the feeling firm here, where there is not enough speculative inter- est to vary the market u cent a day. San Francisco circular of July lsays: The bulls have got“ the bears again, and as usual the bears are squealing. It ap- ears that the bulls have bought more No. 1 California wheat on seller-the-year contracte than there is of that quality in the State. About the time that the growing wheat Was ju the milk, there came several blastin winds and hot daysinsome localities, whic shriveled the kernel so thet it will not grade as No. 1, and in other localities the fogs were so heavy and long continued that it made the wheattoo dark fo ity. The bears have therefore so mnch less wheatto figureon to fill their contracts, and some of them are takin their medicine and ‘‘filiing’’ on call, whic to strengthen the market for that option (sel- necessitating the balance of the bears to put up more margin; others prefer t | to getout of the difficulty by he baby act and failing back on the obsolete rule ofthe Exchange, which was in- tended to prevent ‘‘corners.’’——New reported 55 loads (equalto 440,000 bu) wheat worked for export to-day. Wheat—Althougb receipts were nearly 90,000 bu, yet —— were compared to their disad- over 122,000 bu for same day last year, which, with accumulating reports of injury to wheat in the stack by continue wet weather and also that farmers’ offerings were damp and out of condition through the same cause, fostered the bullish feeling that las been de- veloping here of late. he tone of other markets was stronger and better, too, so that the , dull and heavy cables received bad no effect. There was a steady demand, shorts coming from the opening and considerable straignt-out buying goins on.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. New York, July 7.—A highly romantic and successful elopement on Tuesday bas greatly interested the pretty little New Jersey village ot Middletown. The lovers were E. C. Taylor, a popular young business man of the village, and Miss Rebecca Hendrickson, the eldest daughter of Elanthan Hendrickson, a well- known fruit-grower and one of the wealthiest men in the community. Miss Rebecca is 1 years old, a dlonde, tall and graceful in figure, _ stylish in appearance, well educated and an heiress. Her mother being dead, she was the mistress of her father’s house as well as the pride of his heart. Her only sister 1s a school-girl. It is sald that Miss Rebecca has had at least half a dozen offers of marriage. Within six months she had rejected one young man worth $600,- 000, notwithstandiny that ber father and all ber family connections insisted on his acceptance. But her heart was already given to Mr. Taylor, and she determined to marry him. Taylor is a descendant of one of the oldest families of the county. His father was at one time a very rich man, but extravagant living reduced his fortune before his death and it is now a mere bagatelle. But Edward is a young man of excellent moral character, of energy and ambition and has set outto make a fortune for himself. Though but 23 years old heis already in business and doing well. He is generally tiked, But though Miss Rebecca loved bim devotedly and undis- guisedly, her father had forbidden him to visit the house. This opposition only intensified the love of the young couple, who found no difficulty in meeting at social gatherings. As they could not be married at the bride’s home with the paternal blessing, they resolved to be married in the best way they could away from home. The arrangements were so carefully planned that only three peo- ple in the village knew anything of what was oing on until it was all over. Miss Rebecca had no difficulty on Tuesday in finding an excuse for visiting Red Bank, three miles away, where she was ESCORTED BY A MUTUAL FRIEND who was in the secret. The arrangement was for this friend to put her on the Pennsylvania Railroad train which passes there at 1.45 p. m. and Taylor was to board the same train at Middletown seven minutes later, when they were to jouruey together to New Brunswick, where the young man had relatives living who were to receive them and the ceremony be performed there. The lady’s part of the programme was car- ried out allright, but the young man, in his excitement, jumped aboard a New Jersey Cen- tral train passing Middletown hatf an hour ahead of the appointed t.me. He searched the train with a palpita- and was all broken up when ting heart, he failed to find his flancee. Cruel thoughts filled bis mind as the train whirled along, and the young man remained oblivious to every- thing but his disappointment. But when the train stopped at Mattawan he had sense euough to get off and set the telegraph in motion in search of the missing one. As that failed to bring im immediate satisfaction he took the next train back to Middletown, and then discovered that the lady had boarded the proper train. Then the telegraph was again set in motion, and her natural anxiety was allayed as she sped along alone by receiving an explanatory message. She was duly received at New Brunswick by Taylor’s friends, who had been no- tified of the unfortunate mishap, and in the early evening he arrived there also, and again they were happy. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the aunt ofthe young man and immediately afterward the young couple traveled to Phila- delphia. They will return to Middletown the last of the week and go at once to housekeep- ing in the old Taylor homestead, which is Al- ready prepared for them. Yesterday after- noon wedding,cards were distributed through- out the village which was the first intimation publicly given of the affair. There is general anticipation that Mr. Hendrickson will rave and dieinherit his daughter and refuse to be reconciled. Such is the expectation of the bride and groom also. HERE WE GO.

By Telegraph to the Fosr-Disraron. CHARLESTON, W. Va., July 7.—In 1888 Mason Cunningham of Jackson County, who was act- ing as agentforthe Internal Revenue Depart- ment, while searching for illicit distilleries in that county, near Kentucky, was fired on by some parties inambush and killed. From that time it has been suspected by the Government authorities that a still was being operated il- licitly in that neighborhood, On June 29 last some parties working in the woods near Ken- tucky, which ie on Kanawha County line, saw suspicious lights. They investigated and found it to be a distillery, and informed United States Commissioner Dubois, who issueti warrants for Perry Drake, Frank Har- ris and W. 8. Keyser. Deputy-Marshad Van Buren left this city on June 80 to arrest these men. July 1 he brought in heyser and on the 8d Harris. Their trial was set for the 4th, and Drake and Harris turned State’s evidence ainst Keyser. They were discharged and Keyser cominitted to jail to appear at Park- ersburg in the United States Circuit Oourt, July 13. The still operated by these men was found in a dense jungie at the head of Second creek, from which piace it was removed to this yb Keyser, who isa local — — has just been released from jail at arKereburg for exactly the same offene. and it wae found that he had distilled some whois and peppermint to mix and sell atthe Fourth of July pfnic in that seotion as ‘‘War-whoop Peppermint Bitters, but this was captured by the officers.

THE BALTIMORE PLAYERS WEEP BECAUSE THEY ARE CRITICISED. a a oe al Manager Barnie Is Determined Never to Talk Again—Oapt. “Tommy” Burns Chatse—Latham’s Fines—Attendance on the National Holiday—Base Ball News and Gossip—Diamond Chat. The atmosphere around the lobby of the Lindell Hotel tnis morning wen very Salti- morean. Capt. Tommy Burns sat with his chair tilted back and his feet against a pillar and he was surrounded by the members of the club, who with their loquacious chief were discussing the probabdilities of a riot at Sports- man’s Park th afternoon. The Baltimores are pretty badly cut up over what they term the abuse“ which has been heaped upon them by the news- papers not only in this city but in every town in the United States of over 10,000 inhabitants, their own city, of course, excepted. -They say that since the pleasant little Welch episode last month every news- paper has been ‘‘roasting’* them, ‘‘shooting the soup’’ into them and subjecting them to other and various kinds of treatment described somewhat after the above fashion tn their own peculiar jargon. „Everywhere we go said Mr. Burns, bor- rowing a chew of tobacco from a friend, ‘‘we get it in the neck about Tucker being a loafer and me being a bully andthe rest of the club alot of hoodlums. They say we are rowdies and ought to be stoned to death and all that kind of talk. Well, we got to the hotel in safety anyhow, and were not met with shot- guns as some people said we were going to be. Iclaim we’re not rowdies or hoodiums, and we are no tougher than other ball players. There’s one consolation we have left anyhow, and that is we can earn our little $10 a week holiering ‘strawberries’ and ‘potatoes’ as Mr. Caylor says. Mr. Burns relieved his overweighted bosom by throwing off much more matter like the above and he was assisted by his confreres,who all agreed thatthe Baltimores were the most lamblike and slandered club in the Associa- tion and thatthey bad learned mostof their tricks from the Champions. The row in Bal- timore was gone over stage by stage, and ev- ery possible side of it was brought to view, all which, however, showed that Mr. Burns and his party were the real sufferers. The champion kicker dwelt ppon the injustice which had been done bim, with tours fn his eyes, and sincerely hoped that the day was not far off when the St. Louis public would learn to appreciate the Baltimore Club at its proper value and set down naugiit in malice.’’ President Barnie was seen and his words were all to the same effect as were those of his ‘‘able’’ captain, with this difference: that Mr. Barnie was emphatic in his remarks to an extreme. When he was innocentiv interro- gated -sto his opinion on President Lon der Abe's 50 per cent plan, the Baltimore director said: Lou need not ask me any questions on any subject, for Iwill not answer them. I do not want to talk ou any subject whatever. Why? Because the manner in which 1 have been misrepresented and abused in this city is shameful. I have always been straightforward in my actions. As for Mr. Von der Ahe’s plan I simply have to say that it it is to his interest to go into the League the sooner he goes the better it will be tor him. Any business man oucht to know whattodoinsuch cases. Besides, anything Icould say now would be Irrelevant. I have a vote on matters of that kind, and when the time comes tor me to vote I will vote. Until that time comes I have nething to say.’’ Mr. Barnie further said that he desired his club should be accorded the — — treatment in this city. Should any demonstration be made bythe audience (he feared none from the players), the result ot which would prove to be physicat — 1 to either him or his play - ere, be would not bring his club to the City a second time. Mr. Barnie denies in toto all the statements made by everybody connected withthe St. Louisclub in reférence to the re- cent trouble in his city, but admits that a hos- tile feeling bas been aroused against his team all along tive line by the story as sent out. The players on the team are looking quite well and seem to be in good condition, not- withstanding their overwhelming defeat at Cincinnati. They all eagerly inquired whether big attendance was anticipated at the games, but disclaimed any fear of being either mobbed or wounded by the crowds. Latham’s Fines. Latham, the Brown’s third-baseman, was fined $100 yesterday afternoon by Presi- dent Von der Ahe. Of this sum $25 was assessed for caréless playing and the other $75 for using insulting language to Mr. Von der Ahe. The latter said this morn- ing that he would play the third-baseman in his position to-day, notwithstanding his an- nouncement that Latham was to be sus- pended. The Mets Win. The Metropolitans filled the promise they made on July 4 to win one game from the Browns on thetr present trip, by defeating the champions yesterday in an exciting game. McMullen and Holbert and King and Boyle were the batteries. The Browns made 7 runs, 16 hits ana 3 errors, and the Mets 8 runs, 14 hits and 8 errors. Games Abroad Yesterday.

Big Attendance, Some idea of the extraordinary interest that people take in base ball may be gathered from the table published below, which shows the attendance at the fourteen games played July 4 by the League and American clubs. These fourteen games were witnessed by over 100,000 people, or an average of 7,392 to each game. Besides these games there were also hose in the International, Eastern, Western, North- western and all other minor assocfations, at which the attendance was proportionately as great. Truly, base ball is a great sport, and greatly the American people love it. Following are the statistics alluded to: CITIES. Morping. Afternoon.

Bob Ferguson is announced to umpire the Baltimore-Browns seriés. Itis therefore safe to say there will be little or no ‘‘kicking.’’ The Baltimoreans say that an individual named Love, who serves tn the capacity of lackey to the Mayor, was the sole cause of the Welch sensation. **Blondie’’ Purcell consulted a barber this morning and had his beautiful Grecian locks cutdown. He thus hopes to win a game from the champion Browns. Messrs. H. ©. Suitzer, , the Bal - timore Sun, and John C. Gittinger of the Baiti- more American, accom y the Baltimore Club on its present trip. ey are both enjoy- ing a month's vacation. Nothing counts in a game of base ball like bunched bits.

Baldwin is a od pitcher, but he lacks the backbone. With an Haltren the team is mighty strong, however.—[New York Star. Capt. Battin of the Waterburys made one of the most peculiar plays for a professional on reoord the other day. Inthe first inning two men were on bases with two men out and a good man coming to bat. Battin was at third. The batter was taking bis base on bails when Battin walked home, notwithstanding that the cateher stood on the home plate with the ball in his hand. Veteran Joe says that he thougnt there were more men on bases, and that he was forced off. It discouraged his men so that they lest the game. Daty’s work behind the bat was little short of phenomenal and was the bestever seen on the grounds. Van Haltren’s puzzling delivery was perfectly handled, and he watched the bases 60 92 that only one base was stolen and that was by Ewing when a man was on third. Connor, Ward, Tiernan and Dorgan tried to steal second on the lively young man, Ward being bold enough to attempt it twice, and every one was shut out on rifle-shot throws to Pfeffer. Van Haltren’s quick de- livery gave the base runners no sbow to steal, and when they tried it they were beautifully left. —-[Chfeago Tribune. The Athleties lost three games to the Balti- mores throu the loud-mouthed coaching of the players of that club. Now that the Ath- letics, Metropolitans, Brooklyn, Cincinnatis, Clevelands and Louisvillies have all droppeda number of games to St. Louis and Baltimore through this so-called coaching, these ciubs should combine at once and put an end to this intolerable nuisance. that St. Leuis won the pennant twice through this rowdyism on the field called coaching, and it is cenceded all around that if the games were thrown aside which St. Louis and Balti- more won thus far this season on this account, they would not stand first and second in the pennant race. Ifthe other clubs can stand it, well and good, but the public will not stand it much longer.—([ Philadelphia Press. — — BICYCLE BUDGET. Final Arrangements for the DeSoto Race— Notes. Greenwood and Stone are practicing hard for the great race next Sunday to DeSoto and back. LastSunday Greenwood rode up from DeSoto with Mehlig. His time was not fast on aceount of the rain, but he climbed Rogers Hill in the steady down-pour, gaining a quarter of an hour on Mehlig from the bottom of one side to the bottom of the other. Percy Stone made the round trip on the Fourthwith E. A, Smith. His time is kept very quiet, but it is understood he covered the ninety miles in something like seventeen hours, counting all rests. His ob- ject was more to gain a knowledge ef the road than to make fast time. He is ridin in fine form and romijses to make Greenwood hump up and own the big hills. No odds are offered, so evenly are the men considered to be matched. This evening Messrs. Beach and Brewster, the managers of the race, will meet at the Mis- souri Club-house and settle the preliminaries. No pace-makiug will be allowed, and if the racers are accompanied by outsiders it must be only in the rear. Notes.

Powers (seventy-five yards) won a mile handicap at the Kings County Wheel- men’s meet June 28 from A. B. Rich (scratch) and J. W. Powers (twenty-five yards). He is only 15 years old, and came in second in a two- mile handicap. The Maryland division wound up its meet with a theater party at the Academy of Music, where 400 wheelmen and their friends listened to McCauli’s Opera Company interpolate catches,,etc., specially for their benefit, into a rendition of the ‘‘Black Hussar. In the first act where Digby Bell comes in as Town Crier beating a drum, the cyclers endeavored to kee clapping to the drum beating, but wily Digby laid them all out and the ciap- pers had to knock under to his beating. 4 the second act Digby Bell, in the laughable chase around the stage incident, went off the stage fer amoment and almost immediately returned riding a tricycle, and pursued by Hackenbach on another tricyclé. The ap- piause at the innovation was long and loud. Greenwood was coming in from the eleven- mile house on the Manchester read the other morning ona practice spin and pulled out from Bartold’s atthe same time as the Kirk- wood accommodation train. At Benton the bicyclist wasa little behind, but was ahead when the train started again. Through Ben- ton and Cheltenham engine and bike had it out red hot. Passengers flocked to the windows and yelled to the wiry little fellow who was push- ng down the levers like a George Weber, and even the Cheitenham saloon-keeper forgot bis usual amusement of tg his bulldog on the wheelman. By the time Choutean avenue was reached the train had pulled ahead, but Greenwood had the satisfaction of knowing that the train reached thé depot far ahead of the schedule time.
