BALFOUR’S EXPLANATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT’S PROPOSED CHANGES, Parnell’s Comments on the Statement—The Report Regarding Hartington Joining the Ministry—Sad Plight of the Tory Government—Explorer Stanley—Russia‘s Arrangement Regarding the Afghan Frontier—King Milan and Queen Natalie Effect a Reconciliation—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lox Do, July 22.—Balfour’s explanation last night of the way the Government proposes to apply the hatchet to their own land bull, was no clearer than Balfour's statements usually are. Briefly summarized the proposed chamges are as follows: 1. The right to proceed by writ of fieri facias, which has been called the ‘back door ef evictions,’ is made subject to the discretion of the County Court Judge. 2. With regard to the revision of the judicial rents, the land court is instructed to devise a scale of revision based soleiy upon prices, and; which will vary according to the districts to: which it is applied. That ie, the Land Com- mission will fix the averages and arrange the. districts according to the agriculture and the soil. Rent is to be fixed for three years. 8. The Government is prepared to drop the bankryptcy clauses with reluctance. 4. Leaseholders are excluded from remedi¢.] legislation. PARNELL’S COMMENT. Parnell, commenting upon Balfour’s speed bh, said the Government, inthe first place, we re now going to deal with the revision or, as th ey called it, the abatement of judicial rents. In the second place, they laid stress upon ‘the fact that there had been a considerable ‘all in agricultural prices, just as he had laid stness upon it, and in the third place, they made the abatements run for three years, as he had made them run. Goschen’s position hus be, come the most ludicrous imaginable. Com- pare with the above proposals of the Gavera- ment of which he is, perhaps, the most prom- inent member, these words from his speech only last week. 9 mever agreed to the rent being fixed accordjng to prices, because, if you do that, it will be fatal to purchase. If you tell a tenant his re at is to be varied according to price, you will have to establish a totally different principle, which goes to the whole root of the purchase. The principle of the purchase is that there should not be a fluctuating price, but one thatis to be fixed once for all and finally.’’ The point of view of the Irish la adlords on the Government proposals, may be fully and clearly understood from these of Agar Ellis, a typical member of his class: These amend- ments tothe land act mean no more and no less than a cessation of rent ir Treland for county will be in s state of chaos. There can be no business transactions where the most solemu Undertakings ARE SET AT NAUGHT when exigencies af place and party stepin. I can see no reason why I should move a finger for this Government. They are bent on run- ning my country, but so was Gladstone. I think he would do it quicker and, therefore, more mercifully.’” After the above it is un necessary to remark on the desperate mess in which the Government is plunged. Harting- ton’s leadership is thus but one step away from the actual situation. The Pall Mall Gazette, in leading editorial yesterday declared it to be the only solution of the Government’s dim culty. It is the talk to-day in all political and club circles. I have also private reasons for believing it is being seriously discussed inside the Cabinet. There should be no surprise if it should take rapid strides within the next few days. I believe Salisbury himself is not only willing, but anxious for it. A NEW PAPER.

No Regalia Allowed Inside the Church—Dis- tary Supports the Priest—The Lodge Sheuld Not Have Intruded—a Society Law Against It. John Metz dead has probably caused more of a sensation than did John Metz living. He was a good, quiet man, and pursued the even tenor of his way. He joined the Harugari, nee Treubund and a saengerchor society, and was a respected member. It was this membership that has given to his death a dramatic coloring. He was prostrated the other day by the heat while at Tower Grove Park, and died suddenly. His funeral was attended by the societies of which he was & member, and last Wednesday afternoon, when the little procession moved up sidney street and halted at Father C. P. Smith’s church, the Catholic Church of the Assump- tion, there was the gleaming of regalia along the solemn line. Another funeral had just wound its way around the corner and the church doors were still open. Up the stairs the coffin was carried and stopped in the ves- tibule. Upon the lid that hid the face of the dead lay some emblems of the society. The members of the order stood patiently waiting for the advance of those in the front. But the advance didn't come for some time. Thesociety which was most con- spicuously represented was Concordia Lodge, sarugari, No. 164, whose officers were Joseph Gubson, presiding officer, and Rudolph Glases ner, Treasurer. The halt was followed by some low talking by Undertaker Adolph Meyer, the emblems were removed from the con and the members and the precession moved on into the church. There were some — ＋ of disapproval at this enforced removal of the society’s emblems, but the open talk was reserved until the funer- al was over. Then they condemned in rather severe language the incident. FATHER SMITH EXPLAINS. The removal of the regalia was made at the instance of Father C. P. Smith, the rector, who was seen to-day by a Post- DISPATCH re- porter. ‘‘I bad just finished another funeral service when the processioncame up. Then I noticed the presence of the regalia, and the undertaker asked me if I would permit them to enter the church. I said no, but that they could it they laid aside the regalia. The undertaker said he would provide another set of pall-bearers, but I remarked that that was unnecessary if they would lay aside their regalia. This was all said quietly in the vesti- bule. The regalia was taken off and the funeral proceeded as usual. I did not know till the procession arrived that the deceased was a member of a secret society. That being so, how could you consistently give him Catholic burial?’’ Because be was a Catholic. When he died some of his friends cameto me and told me that he was a Catholic and a member of my church. This was a fact; he had attended my church freq@entiy, and his chi dren had but recently received communion. The fact that he had died a Cafmolic presupposed, of course, a renuncia- tion of the orders. He had died suddenly, there was no chance to summon a priest, and it was presumed that, having been a Catholic, he would have called a priest if his death had not been sudden?’’ The fact that he was a member of an or- der which is prohibited by the Church was an 1 was it not, that he was not a Cath- ollie? * No. All secret societies are not condemned by the Church. Condemned societies are of several kinds: Those that are oath-bound, like the Masons and Odd Fellows; those which are dangerous in principle, such as the Nihilists, Carbonari, ete., and those which are the step- ping stones to the larger and ‘named’ or pre- scribed societies of the first two classes. In this age, with beneficial societies * up on every hand, secret societies which are not of the kind mentioned are not eondemned. Catholics can belong to them, and do in many instances. There are secrets in domes. tic and commercial iffe, and it canbe under- stood that there are secrets of a society which are ~perfectly prop- er. The Ancient Order of Hibernians are a secret society, but they are nearly all Catholics, and their secrets are known to the Church. But the refusal to permit the wear- ing of the regalia in the Church was no judging of the character of the society. It was simply carrying out the gen- eral custom of the Church, which does not permit any regalia of outside societies within its sacred wails. It was acting in harmony with the ban placed by the Church on all so- cieties.’’ ‘‘Suppose I had been a Catholic for ten years and should spend the last ten as a Freemason, a prohibited society, and should die a Mason, would I be given Catholic burial?’’ „The door of the Catholic Church is always open to repentance. If you were once a Catholic and died suddenty with no chance to make a renunciation, it would be considered that you would have renounced the order if you had had a chance. When the Church once gets a hold upon a man, he never forgets it at the end of life. It is this presumption that is exercised in such a case. THE SOCIETIES CONDEMNED. Grand Secretary Ernst Knickmeier of the Harugari Order was not slow to condemn the lodge. They had no business to be there with thetr emblems. We bave had a law which I introduced myself, for four years, prevent- ing such scenes. This law distinctly provides that when a member dies it must be ascertained where he is to be buried, and if societies are not allowed there shall be no display. This should have been observed, and I don’t un- derstand why it was not. Thies is the second trouble of the kind that Concordia Lodge has got into, and the order is not responsibie for it at all. We would not allow « priest to come into our lodge with his ceremonies, and we should not go into the church if we are not wanted. I have conferred with the Grand Master, George Hoefel, and he agrees with me that the members had no righttointrade. They oath to accompany the remains into the Church with their re- galia. lam glad to learn that they made no breaks and behaved politely when the priest requested the removal of the emblems. How can the church do anything but that when it bas once taken the stand? Its burial lots sre deeded to the purchaser with the provision that no secret society shall enter there, 80 the holders of 1 — = 1 — popes by the carrying out of the pro — Cireuit- Clerk Phil Zepp, Past Grand Master of the Treubund, took a similar view to that expressed by Mr. Knickmeter. „We bave no law, said he, ‘‘like the Harugar! butit isa long observed custom not to intrude our em- biems where they are not considered in place.

Lew Clarke Receives a Badge of Historic Interest. Col. Lew A. Clarke of this city, formerly sec retary of the St. Louis Jockey Club and latter- ly of the Gentlemen's Driving Club, yesterday cH received a letter from —— 9 Maj. D. B. Woolf, Sec- retary of the Commis- sioners of the Supreme Court, State of Califor- nia, inclosing a badge of the American Pha- lanx, composed of vet- erans of the Walker Nicaraguan Expedi- tion. The badge is a rare honor, as Col. Clarke is probably the only veteran of the fa- mous expedition now The Badge. living in Missouri with one exception—Adju- tant-General J. C. Jamison. Col. Clarke is now probably the oldest journalist in thiscity, and since hisstirring experience in the Nic- araguan war has devoted himself to sporting interests and isnow one of the best-known writers on these ics in the West. No one who knows him well and appreciates his quiet, unassuming and gentlemanly character and his kindness of heart and dispostion, could for a moment even imagine him in years gone by as one of a party of the fiercest filibusters that ever banded together and fought like Greeks, in the very teeth of despair. Yet such is the fact about the Colonel, and the badge which he now wears on his breast is the best certificate of his oe possible. The memento is a miniature representation in solid silver of the flag of the expedition. Two bars of blue bound a bar of white, on which is seen the pod ee ing over the summit of a volcanic peak and shining along the line of five others. On the reverse is engraved the words: ‘‘Company A, Second Infantry, L. A. Clarke.’’ The communication from Maj. Woolf accompanying the badge among other things recalls incidents common to the experience of both the writer and the recipient, and refers in kindly tones to Col. W. K. Rogers, better known as Kissane, who Maj. Woolf says has outlived the errors of his youth, and who is now well thought of and respected by all classes of people in the community in which he resides. he — eee on to say: ‘‘Itis my intention to make a directory of the sur- Vivors of our little army, and I willbe much pieased if you can give me the address of any of the veterans who you know are now in the land of the living. ’ The badge itself is a very pretty and artistic affair, and is regarded asa treasure by its wearer, who takes a peculisr pride in it, re- calling as it does many a thrilling episode in the memorable affair in which he was one of the chief actors. a A SCENE ON DECK. The Captain of an Upper River Boat to Answer for an Assault. George W. Davis, Captain of the steamer Gem City, was before United States Commis sioner Crawford to-day, charged with assault- ing a deck-hand on the passage down the river near Hannibal. It appeared from the testimony that the boat ran aground and it be- came necessary to do some unloading. The captain, it was alleged, had occasion to pass near the deck-hand, and discovering him doing nothing while the others were busily at work tapped him over the head with aaa. The excus® made by the deck hand for sitting down was that be wanted to pick some sand out ot his shoe. The commissioner held the captain inthe sam of $1,000 for ap- ance at the next term of the United States istrict Court at Hannibal. He furnished bond at once. Matters in Court.

PITTSBURG, July 22.—Detectives Milarky and Dunean of New York, who arrested Daniel Lyons for the murder of Joseph Quinn on the night of July 5, started back home with their prisoner at I o’clock this afternoon. In an interview to-day Lyons admitted the killing, but claimed that it was in self - defense. He asserted that there was no worman in the case. Quinn had as- saulted him a number of times, because he re fused to waylay and beat a Post-Qffice In- spector named Meehan, against whom Quinn hada grievance. On the nigbtof the murder Quinn assailed him at the corner of Thirt eighth street and Second avenue with a stick, striking him overthe head. He then drew his revoiver, and shot his assailant in the stom- ach, inflicting a fatal wound. After the shoot- ing Lyons quietly left New York and went to Chicago, returning asfar as this city about two weeks ago. Finding himself without money, he robbed a house in Alleghany City of some silverware, and in trying to pawn the stolen goods he was arrested. He appears confident of acquittal, and willingly went with the o flicers without waiting for requisi- tion papers. aa JUDGE NOONAN’S DOCKET. How Acting-J udge Paxson Disposed of It This Morning.

JACOB FURTH FAVORABLY IMPRESSES THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION. — — — The Discrimination of the Ratlroads Against St. Louis Merchants Made Plain—Bene- fits Expected From the Interstate Com- ¢ merce Law—Arbitrary Regulation of Commerce—A Strong Argument — Mr. Blair Replies for the Railroads. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcu. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22.—Mr. Jacob Furth, the President of the St. Louls Grocers’ Association, summed up the complaint of that association before the Interstate Commission this morning. He spoke for forty-five minutes and made a very favorable impression on the commission by his strong presentation of the case. Mr. Furth said St. Louis had suffered unjust discrimination by the rail- roads for many years. Her merchants had protested and battled for their rights and jus tice, but had obtained nothing. By passing the interstate commerce law and creat- ing the Commission Congress, in effect, gave notice that hereafter the people would have some voice in regulating|the tariff schedules of the railroads and prevent unjust discriminations. The Commission, in this instance, represented the people, and Mr. Furth appealed to them to right the wrong. Looking over the schedules of the railroads, it could be discovered that the embargo upon groceries and drugs and goods which are sold by the pound were so adjusted asto make it possible for a town to do business whe another could not, THE CAR LOAD DISTINCTION should not exist. The Commission should ex- ercise its power to prevent the railroads from saying, ‘‘We wili charge you 42 cents a hun dred from St. Louis to Ft. Scott, for exam- ple, While we will carry for another cor- poration for 30 cents. No one has ever persuaded a railroad official to state the difference between the expense of shipping car-loads and less than car lots. The reason was the difference was infiniteisimal. The entire existing system is based on an arbitrary method of regulating commerce. It is true that in the various interests of the country, one locality favored the car-load oe and another opposed it. That showed that it must discriminate against one sideor theother. The railroad practically sald to merchants: ‘‘You must confine your businéss to local sections and be content.’’ No railroad would submit to such a state of things;they are forever reaching outto ex- tend their lines and connections. Mr. Furth called attention to the discrimina- tion against the merchants of St. Louis in the extra charge for transportation across the bridge. St. Louis merchants had their goods landed in Kast St. Louis and it cost them 1 car to get their merchandise across the bridge. Merchants in Springfield and points west of St. Louis were given FREE TRANSPORTATION across the bridge. This was a flagrant in- justice to St. Louis merchants. Mr. Blair argued for the railroad company that their discriminations-~were just. He ex- plained the bridge matter by saying that one of the through lines entering St. Louis reached the West by a circuit us route, with- out crossing the bridge, and consequently could handſe freight to Western points and avoid the bridge charges. The raliroads had a right to carry through freight at a less rate than charged for local freight. Much of these complaints were due to local causes. Kansas City was growing up in com petition to St. Louis, and St. Louis was anx- jous to check her rival. It was always the policy of a railroad to discriminate in favor of a new town against an older one; that was the true way to develop the country. The Missouri Pacific Company had not discrimi- nated against any one where it was not justi- fied by competing lines and commercial necessities. Mr. Hayward closed the hearing. — — — — A LIVELY BOW. The High-Grade Grain Men of Kansas City Have a Scheme. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPatcn. KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 22.—The high-grade grain men, who were defeated at the last meeting of the Directors of the Board of Trade, have not given up the fight. A call has been issued for a meeting to-morrow, at which the question of organizing a new Board of Trade will be discussed. The call has been well received, and the gen- tlemen who circulated it claim to have the signatures of fourteen of the nine teen grain firms doing business in Kansas City. The firms said to have signed the petition are: W. E. Croysdale, French Bros., Simons, McCoy 4 Co., &. A. Trufant Commission 933 Moore & Talpey, T. A. Wright & Co., Fred K. Smith, Vaughn Com- mission Company, Kirkpatrick & Christopher, C. B. Currier 4 Co., Snyder 4 Denton and J. W. Cowan. „It is intended, said one of the signers, to organize a Board on which grain men may manage theirown business. As & is now a brewer may buy up the majority of the stock and control the grain business of Kansas City.“ Messrs. Mohr and Simons, the two bigh- grade men on the Inspection Committee, nave handed in their resignations, Mr. Simons stating that it would Im possible for him to serve on a committee that would ursue a course of action which he believed to wrong. The high-grade men, who are in . the majority, are elated and confident of the success of their movement. They think it will amount, virtually, toa reorganization of the old Board, as the low-grade men will not be able to maintain a Board, and will either have to resign or come to time. It was repo on ‘Change this morn that Mr. Davidson had prepared his ros - tion as a member of the Inspection Commi ° Heisalow-ygrade man and if he should re- sign, it will give the high-grade men another chance to gain control of the committee, and might prevent the organization of a new Board. | MEXICAN SCIENTISTS.

( Th Protesters Against the Elevated Cable Company’s Bill Have an Experience at Turner Will Order the Streets Sprinkled, Notwithstanding the New Amendment— Municipal Matters. A meeting of the Railroad Committee of the Council was set for ll a. m., to-day. The special business set down for consideration was the Elevated Cable Company bill. There was a crowd of protesters in attendance, but they had no chance to protest. This is the second time they have had that experience. Several who called early were unable to wait, but Messrs. Kaime, Church, Rowell and a few other property-owners on Grand avenue, waited in vain until nearly 1 o’clock. Judge Henry D. Laughlin, who was present to ex- plain the bill, waited withthe other waiters, and departed with them. This ts the second experience of this kind the protesters have had. When Judge Laughlin and Mr. R. A. Kern, his partner, took the Railroad Commit - tee of the Council out tor a drive they found a meeting of objecting property - holders in progress at Grand avenue and Olive street, Mr. R. M. Seruggs presid - ing. The citizens there took occasion to their opinion on the plan of running the — — — alley just north of Olive street, between the Grand Auenue Presby- terian Church and the Hotel Beers. A meet- of the committee was decided on to con- alder the objections in detail. Mr. R. H. Kern was present alone to represent the side of the company asking the franchise. The opponents of the measure were present in full force. Chairman Rohan of the committee was resent, but neither Mr. O’ Mailey or Mr. Bell, e other members of the committee put in an appearance. Another meeting was called for ll a. m. to-day. Judge Laughlin took a chair in the Council-room before that hour. Chairman Rohan was present, but no word was received from Councilman Bell. It wassomething after 11 o’clock and the pa- tience of the waiting citizens was giving D out when Councilman O'Malley steppe into the clerk’s office and sized u the crowd waiting in the Council Chamber. He withdrew, saying: I'm going over to see His Honor, the Mayor.“ That will take you two hours more, said a gentleman standing by. Councilman withdrew, and after waiting for some time Chairman Rohan left with some of the objectors, and the meeting broke up. The citizens were bitter in their comments on the action of the absent Councilmen. Harbor Improvement. Harbor and Wharf Commissioner Murphy 1s. preparing plans for a very important improve- ment. At present all the water lineis used as a dumping place, and the result is that the receding current leaves intolerable nuisances deposited at various points along the river front. Inthe northern portion of the city the complaints haye been numerous from ber men, whose r have been made the repositories of cart loads of filth. Mr. Murphy is preparing plans for four boats, which he says can be built with very little delay. They will be moored at dif- ferent points along the river front and at night or the most suitable time will be towed down theriver, and by means of — in the bottoms emptied and washed in mid- stream. There is no question about the ne- cessity of making some provision to abate these nuisances, which at one time necess!i- tated the closing ofa large establishment on the river front because the workmen could not tolerate the stench rising from these spots along the Levee. um- He Will Order the Streets Sprinkled. Street Commissioner Turner, upon whom the enforcement of the sprinkifig ordinance especially devolves, is inclined to think that the amendment offered to the sprink- ling item in the appropriation bill will not stop the work. The Street Commissioner expresses the opinion that the only effect of the amendment isto wilfal discrimination. the approval of let dy the e- bidders Contracts have been awarded in three-fourths of the districts al- ready, andon Monday bids will be received for all the remaining districts except one; that district, in which a forfeiture has been made will be let on the Sth prox. Street Commissioner Turner, who has been favor- ably inclined towards the sprinkling plan from the inning, believes that the amendment was added simply to guard against discrimi- nation, and does not understand it as meanin that ail sprinkling shall be checked unti the contractors are ready to begin in every district. The Committee on Public Improve- mente hopes that the Council will remain in session long enough to approve of all the con- Municipal Notes. Dr. Lowry is still assisting Dr. Priest at the Dispensary. The House Committee on Railroads will con- sider the bridge and tunnel terminal bill this rnoon.

To-day was another great one in the weather line, but this time the peculiarity was ofa kind to make humanity happy. The heaviest rain that has fallen for over a month came down this morning before noon. Al- though the heaviest for so long, it amounted to only a little over half an inch, which shows how completely this region has been baked. This is no general storm either, it is a local storm, in which the city can take considerable pride. It has been of special interest in and about the City Hall, where it was welcomed as a thing which might take ublic attention off the sprinkling ll. These i seem to have ut a quietus to the hot wave. Besides a very healthy looking high area is traveling south- east and being accompanied by considerable cool air is liable to keep the temperature down here. There was an attemptto make it ap- pear that yesterday 8 was very warm, ut it could not e supported by any figures. At 9 o’clock last night the signa! service thermometer recorded only 84.7 — 93 at the same hour this time last Week. This morning the mercury was as low as 72 and at 2 p. m. to-day had gone up but4degrees. Yet the air was close, and to the superficial observerit would seem that the hot wave was still here. But it was only the damp air that caused the closeness and when a good wind comes along the hu- midity will rapidly disappear. Nowhere in the country was the temperature high this morning.

AREAL ESTATE. ai „ Big Parchases of Suburban Property—Seri- ous Wrangle Over an Option. For some time Messrs Wallace and Garland have contemplated the organization of a com- pany for the ‘purchase of lands located somewhere in St. Louis County which would be easily accessible to and from the city for the accommodation of business men who must be at their offices and places of business at an early hour inthe morning. It is a well- known fact that all the large subdivisions which have recently been opened to the market, by restrictive clauses in the deeds, revent erection 0 of a small class of —— suitable to the needs ot a family in moderate circumstances. The object of the formation of this company was, after settling a suitable locality, to upon purchase sufficient. property for their wants, then aggregate all their property into one large tract, subdivide it and sell it in lots, with no building restrictions whatever, so that the head of a small family, upon a moderate sal- ary could soon get himself a home. he company finally selected the line of the Colorado Railroad, about six and one-half miles west of the city, of their operations. Negotiations. were entered into, and purchases made of three separate pieces, the first of which is a strip of 57 18-100 acres, the southern line of which is onthe lineof the Colorado road, and its eastern line about 400 yards west of the northwest corner of Forest Park. The property belonged to Mrs. Lu- cy V. 8S. Ames, and was sold for $40,000. The next piece was a tract of 44.45, bounded on the north by Kingsbury boule- vard, on the east by the Ames tract, on the south and west by the railroad and acre roperty. This piece was controlied by Thomas T. Turner and was sold for $22,000. Rosedale Heights, formerly belonging to James A. Hill et al., has a frontage of 4,050 feet onthe Bonhomme road, and was bought by the company for $20,000. Mesers. Wallace and Garland are negotiat- ing for other property adjoining their purchase which they need to carry out their contem- lated plan. How the publicity of their recent sactions will affect these negotiations is no longer a question of probability, as one of the adjoining owners has already jumped to an advance of $1,000 per acre. These arrangements would have continued to be made in secret had it not been for the necessity of recording the contract for the Turner tract, which was done last Thursday at Clayton. The cause of putting this instrument upon record was brought about by the fact that T. A. Scott of Kansas City was — negotiating for this same piece but di- rectly with Mr. Turner. Wallace & Garland were dealing with E. G. Obear, who had an op- tion upon the property until Monday last. Mr. Obear called on Mr. Turner last week and stated that he had sold the property and that he would brine him a check for $600 to bind the transaction either Saturday or Mon- day. Mr. Obear failed to show up on either of those days, however, and did not offer Mr. Turner the money until Tuesday morning. The latter then refused it, stating that he had waited until the exptration of his (Mr.Qbear’s) option, then sold itto Thos. A. Scott. r. Wallace was seen to-day and said that he had not bought the — 2 of Mr. Obear, but of Mr. Turner, through Mr. Obear, as his agent, and that he paid Mr. Turner’sagentthe as the location sum of last Saturday, the 16th inst., to bind the bargain, and that it was immaterial! upon what day Mr. Obear turned the money over to his — He had nothing to do with that. So far as he was concerned the transaction was complete on the day he paid his money and Mr. rner had no right to sell the prop- erty toanyone else. On the other hand Mr. Hart, the representa- tive of T. A. Scott in this city, claims that Wallace & Garland bought directly from Obear, and that Turner never ‘knew those gentlemen in the transaction. Further he claims that those gentlemen have no backing, that it was not a bona fide sale to them, that they only obtained an option up- on the ground with a view to get ting in ahead of Sgott, so as to resell the land to him, andthat his principal was the Eastern capital’’ with which they ex- pected to pay Mr. Turner for is land. When spoken to to-day about the above statement Mr. Wallace was very positive inthe denial of its truth and very emphatic in bis denunciation of its charges. e says his company was organized long before Thomas A. Scott's attention was directed to St. Louis real estate. RAILROAD NEWS. The Ba'timore & Ohio Deal — President Garrett Going to Europe. NEW YORK, July 22.—‘‘Mr. Garrett falls back on his letter, said Henry Clews, banker, to-day, ‘‘and has nothing to say on the subject of the Baltimore & Ohio matter, which is not contained therein. His position, as taken in that letter, is absolutely correct. I did not see Mr. Garrett last evening, after the papers in the contemplated suit were served on him. Isaw him to-day, though. The suit does not scare him. It is simply an effort on the part of Mr. Ives to compel Mr. Garrett to return the securities, which were forfeited.’’ A conference of parties interested in the Ives syndicate is being held this afternoon. There is no news on the matter so far,although some faith is putin a statement that the Pennsyl- vania will obtain control of the property by a guarantee of this stock, and A.J. Cassett be made president in Garrett’s place. Garrett's friends state that he intends giving a farewell dinner to-night before sailing for Europe to- morrow. Reports are current in the Exchange that Ives & Co. have commenced proceedings to obtain an injunction preventing Garrett from transferring his stock until their rights to it are determined. Ives and his lawyers are still in conference and no settiement has been made by them. All the members of the Ives party state that they have decided to make no state- ment of the B. & 0. matter.

For eleven weeks and four days the fight went on, and now that it is over the feeling between the men and opera- tors is, if anything, more cordial than it ever was before. The amount of money lost by the long idleness cannot be accuately calculated, but it runs up into the millions. When the strike began four-fifths of the 11,000 men in the region had money of their own, but very few of them have enough money now to take them out of the district if they wanted to leave. For the first six weeks all of the 11,000 were striking. The average wages paid, including mine boys at 7% cents a day, and coal from $2.50 to $ a day, is $2,500, counting that the good men lost during the first tive weeks $553,500 in wages. Then Carnegie gave the advance and 3,000 men went to work. For six weeks the remaining 8,000 have been car- rying on the strike and have lost „800, mak ing a total loss in wages of $996, If a slid- ing scale equal to 1242 per cent advance is ar- ranged for them it will take a year and nine months y work to make up for the time they have lost. The operators have also been heavy losers. The pumps have been kept running at all the pits, yard and bosses, superintendents and clerks have een drawing salaries, and mules and. horses have been growing fat on oats and hay that they did not earn. At West Leisenring, where the Pinkerton men have been stationed, the expense has been over $1,000 aday since the strike began. Besides this the ovens have become cold and badly out ofrepair. Fully athird ofthem all over the region will have to be overhauled before coal can be put into them. Then, too, the coke trade has falien off, and it will take time and 8 to build it up again. It is estimated e actual expense to the operators has been from $7,000 to $10,000 a day, while their aa will foot up to over a million of 0 8. Canadian Knights of Labor.

LOUIS ATTACKED BY A SWORDFISH. He Drives His Sword Through Sixteen Inches dt Stout Norwegian Pine. From the Philadelphia Record. The ‘‘nose’’ of aswordfish four feet long, driven er sixteen inches of stout Norwegian pine and penetrating ten inches into the cargo of a sugar-laden bark, was one of the nautical curiosities presented to a wondering throng of sail- ors and landsmen at the wharves of the E. C. Knight Sugar Refinery in this city yesterday. Ihe vessel through the hull of which this sea monster’s wea had penetrated is the bark Ornen, which came to this port from Santos, Brazil, by way of the Barbadoes. The bark is a stanchly built Norwegian craft, and the planks in her hull are even harder than American oak. While her cargo of sugar was being unloaded at the refinery wharf a long black object, like the pointof an enor- mous bagonet, was discovered thrust ten inches into one of the bogsheads of sugar, so firmly impaling it that some difficulty was experienced in getting the hogshead free from the _ ves- sel’s bottom. The end of the sword looked like a large martin spike, and all attempts to dislodge it were fruitiess. A close examination, however, proved that the object was the sword of a swordfish which had been driven through the plank- ing of the bark’s hull. The int of the sword which projected into the vessel’s hold was as hard as flint. The only weapon which made any impression upon it was an axe, with which the end was finall broken off and taken on deck, where it von exhibited to the sailors and steve- ores. — the accounts of the crew and the bark’s officers it seems that the fish must have struck the vessel near the region o the equatorial calm. The mate says that while the bark was moving along very slowly, with scarcely a ripple disturbing the surface of the ocean, one calm day in May, a terrfiic shock was ray tener ge which almost threw the vessel aback, and hurled some of the crew off their feet. The incident caused considerable excitement on board, andit was feared that a hidden rock had been struck, until the Captain looked over the starboard quarter, whence the shock appeared to have come,and saw an enormous fish just disappearing be- neath the waves. ntil the sword was discovered yesterday it was supposed that the bark had struck a dead or sleeping whale. This instance of the force with which the swordfish can strike an object is one of the most remarkable ever reported. specimen of planking which has been de- posited in the British Museum in London asagreat curiosity shows the of one of these fish, three feet — which had — ten inches of - The sword found in the Ornen had evidently been driven with almost twice the force with which the specimen in the British Museum had been impelled.

The Mining Superstition Which Induced Thomas Binley to Stop His Work. Day before yesterday, according to the Nevada Star, the miners at work in the main shaft at Toiyabe came to the surface ic, with blanched faces and bate breath, and announced that they had seep a dead cat on the lower level. Everybody in town turned pale, and it seemed to or. to no one that there was any. — r about the _ excite. men at had been created over what might be deemed so trivial an incident. Work was entirely suspended, and as men elsewhere came up and heard the too looked serious, shook their heads and went home. The next morning the men appeared with their boiled shirts and store clothes on and no one appeared to have the slightest intention of resuming work. Toward night one of the owners arrived and on learning the situation of affairs insisted on going down the shaft and removing the offensive carcass, in a news the At this there was a great outcry, but he eventually won over the majority of the miners to his view of the matter and it was agreed thatif he brought the cat to the surface they would go back to their toil. It was with many misgivings on the part of the crowd that the owner disappeared, but when he emerged halfan hour later bearing the ins of the cat a great load was lifted from the community. On the following morning all hands resumed work with th: exception of Tom Binley, an old-timer, who announced that he had thrown up his job and intended to leave the see roams! Poe seen that thing done before this,” he said, and it never fails to bring trouble. Something’s going to happen within eleven days. You see. Once up in British Columbia they found a dead cat nila mine that I was in, and we all laid off, but orders werfe heavy, and the boss just went down, flung the cat on the cage, and raised itout. Some of the boys, green ones mostly, then went back to work, and in forty-eight hours they had an explosion that liked to have upset the earth. That-ain’t the only case. On the Comstock once there was a cat that crawled into one of the levels died, and they wouldn't leave the thing alone. So what does the man who took it out do but fall down the shaft the very next day and kill himself, and like- wise smash the ribs of three other men. I'll never go into that mine again, and some of you fellows will wish you hadn’t, or your families will.” e proper thing todo when a cat dies in a mine, it seems, is to leave the body alone for -eleven days, no work being done in the meantime. After that it may be removed and operations resumed. The people of Toiyabe are wai with some anxiety to see the outcome of an experi- ment which many of them regard as ex- ceedingly rash. ENGLISH EATING. Habits That Cause Red Faces and Gouty Feet. The English people, asa rule, eat well and pearely and without much in the way of fanciful cooking, writes the Lon- don correspondent of the Boston Herald. They are sensible in this respect and treat their stomachs in a friendly and consider- ate manner. That is to say, they do not generally stuff themselves with a lot of rich and greasy food. On theother hand they drink too much in the way of alcoholic beverages both at table and between meals. I have always under- stood that the man who was in the habit of drinking heavily on an empty stomach was pretty sure, sooner or later, to ruin his tion, and probably to set up an inflammation leading to even worse re- sults. have told me over and over again that the gay and seductive cocktail, pursued with industry in the early morn is pretty sure in the course of time to troy the physical happi- ness of its consumer. But the Englishman doesn’t stop even at the seductive cock- tail. He starts in, first thing in the morn- ing with a — 2 big tumbler filled th brandy and a. If that doesn’t pull him round he rolls in another, aud so on, until by breakfast time he has a stom- ach filled with about as heating and in- flammatory a load asthe human system can well endure. No wonder he gets a red face and a set of toes like door-knobs by the time he is 40 years old. Such a habit would give 0 out to a boiler. At his meals he drinks a lot of claret and a good deal of cham- e. Sometimes he goes in for whisky water to. And he generally tops it all off with a pony of brandy and a cup of coffee as black as ink—and about as pala- table. His dinner consists of a heavy soup,a bit of salmon or turbot or sole, one entree, a bit of joint, some chicken, some salad, apiece of cheese and some — bread. It is a big dinner, a solid ner, and it fits its consumer for some t hours at the play. one is called to pay for his bread, for his butter, few years he was his 1 see haw own — > g seg good w e€ rged so mueh for “ser- That looks like a sort of 8 up Well 18. 3 the . aud of But it iss tri what w , the the York or Boston.

His Extraordinary Immunity From Capt- ure, Although Repeatedly Traced by ploodhounds—The Human, as Well as the Brute Detectives Absolutely Baffled. New York WORLD Speciat. GAINESVILLE, Tex., July 18.—Yesterday was a sorrowing day for Gainesville. Thememéry of one young girl murdered and another still hanging between life and death, acted like a pall on the city. At all churches the services artook ofafuneral character. People in as- sembling seemed to tread more softly, and whisper words of sympathy and sorrow for the bearts to-day bowed down & suffering. The firm tones of the men in talking over the bloody double butchery showed that the fire of hum vengeance still burns, and seems to be fed by time. An invesfigation, after five days’ analysis of every circumstance attending the murder, utterly falls to flad the slightest reasonable clue, hushed conjecture is beginning to con- nect the assault upon these two girls with the horrible series of murders in Austin two years avo. Nine women were killed in just twelve months’ time in that neighboring city, and al- most every incidentin each of those murders is duplicated in last Wednesday night’s trag- edy here. There wasnevera clue found to the perpetrator of the Austin murders. There was never an explanation to them, except that they were the work of one man, and he a maniac. The horrible fear is beginning to spread that he has begun his work here. The Austin series started on one Christmas eve and closed with a double tragedy on the eve of the next sacred natal day. The first victim of the bloody line was Mary Smith, acolored servant woman. Her body was found in the yard attached to her house on Christmas morring, 188. There had been frightful mutilation gashes and cuts so vigor- ously made that the body fell apart when the neighbors came to lift it into a con. It was a bright moonlight night when the murder was committed, and the assassin seemed to take abundance of time for his work. His footsteps were traced here and there around the yard, asthough he had lingered long about the spot. There was deliberation marked at every point, and with no slight effort at concealment. It seems incredible that no clue was feft leading up to the assas- sin. wasa discarded lover, the general opinion agreed, who had done the deed,and there was not much talk over it. REPEATING THE CRIME. But on the night of May 7, 1885, Lizzie Shel- ley, another colored servant, was killed in precisely the same fashion. It was a bright moonlight night, as before. There was the same dragging out of the victim from her bed to the open air; then the gashing and slashing with some instrument of the hatehet type—not a mere killing or forcing in- to insensibility, but a repeated use of the weapon, as though the rufian found delight in hearing the thud upon the bone and flesh of hevictim. The same explanation came readi- ly enough—jealousy and the gratification of jove turned to hate. In June came the third onthe list. She, too, was a colored servant geri, Irene Cross. There was the backing and mut lation, the same seeming flendish delight inmangling the body. Inthis case it was not dngged out to the open air, but the victims room showed that the ruffian had been hurried avoy by an alarm which he imagined had been directed at him. Tais crime stirred the community. The negroes were certain that some terrible Vou- coo was working out an evil charm, and there was a great sale of all manner of nostrums and ueer combinations to fight off the evil one. ‘ne white population began to put out some efforts, but the culmination had not yet been reached, and the unknown fiend felt em- boldened in his work. THE TEREIBLE RECORD CONTINUED. On August 30 of that year the same assas- sin, It now seems clear, visited the cabin on the place of Mr. V. O. „ a nephew of the late Thurlow Weed. In the cabin were two colored servants, mother and daughter— Rebecca Ramey, aged 40, and Mary ey, aged 12. It was 4 o'clock in the morning when Mr.Weed heard Gears in this cabin. He found the mother bleeding from a gash in the head and the daughter missing. The trail was a hotone,forfresh blood spots led to a stabie alfa mile away where the body of the girl was found, assaulted and beaten on the head with that same hatchet blow. There was not the usual scene of butchery, but there were evidences of haste in the work. The excite- ment ran up to fever heat and then blood- hounds were put on the scent and a ten miles track was made in and out of the city streets, then ont into the count and back until the scent was lost in the streets again. This use of the hounds convinced many that the murderer was a negro, for the hounds were thrown off the scent by the old slave methods of paffling the does. Others pointed out that the great unknown may have been a white man, thoroughly familiar with negro lore on hounds and the best methods of throwing them off the scent. There were many traces which seemed to lead direct to certain individuals, but in each case innocence was proven. The negroes aban- dona their notion that witches were doing the bloody work and insisted that a white man Was the wrong-doer, as the whole campaign showed too much method and purpose fora black brain to compass. \nother month swung by, and people had ceased to sleep with rifle in hand behind couble-barred doors. September 29 was the Gute of the next bloody act. Again the scene Was a negro cabin, this time occupied dy four people--sirs. Gracie Vance, Orange Washbing- ton, Lucinda Boddy and Patsey Gibson, two mulatto girls. There were two apartments. In one the murderer beat ae piste into insensi- bility, apparently with asand club. The man Was hammered into insensibility and died the next morning; while Mrs. Vance was dragged ent ot the cabin through a window, taken along the road some eighty yards and there, after assault, had ber ns beaten out, A stone club was the weapon ol murder in this case, and the hatchet or heavy cleaver seemed to have been left at ome. Inthe lifeless fingers of Gracie Vance Wasa dit of watch chain with broken stal, buteven this carelessly left piece of evidence did notserveto lead to the detection of the criminal. Uctober brought the next one on the list. It Was another colored woman, Alice Davis, and — too, Was dragged from her bed in a cabin, 1 en some distance away, assaulted and then acked up tar past the limit of ordinary killing. A walrlwind of doubt and dread swept over the city. Whites and blacke alike were in terror but especially the latter, whose superstitious fear wus at times most pitiful to see The MORKE MURDERS TO CLOSE THE YEAR. last and bloodiest of the awful series was on Christmas Eve, 188. coc and her husband lived in 4 pretty ectionl in one of the quiet streets of Austin.

And the terrible similarity of his methods to the tragedy here, of which these despatches have given the readersgf the WORLD full ac- count. Miss Genie Watkins, the daughter of a hotel-keeper in Dallas, has been ona visit to Miss Mamie Bostwick, the daugbter of a rich cattle dealer in this city. They were aged nineteen and twenty years, respectively. The house was asingle story one and, after the Texas fashion, spreading over a good deal of ground. The two young ladies occupied separate beds in a front room. It was about8 o’clock last Wednesday — when Mrs. Bostwiek heard asliaht scuffle in the girls’ room. It was just on the first edge of daylight, and when she entered the apartment her glance fell first upon the figure of a man sitting near the win- dow with his feet upon the sill, as though taking a rest aftera difficult job. He was thoroughly at ease, and, without extra haste, placed his hand upon the sill, vauited lightly out and disappeared, leaving only the imprint of his bloody palm upon the woodwork. Mrs. Bostwick turned to the beds where the girls were moaning in iInsensibility. Mrs. Bost- wick screamedand fainted away, but aid came at once. The household was aroused, and all that could be done by medical skill was done for the two young ladies. They were both fearfully ashed, the blood flowing turned the room to the appearance of a slaughter-house. There had been the struggies of youth and vigor ainst the assailant, but in each instance the hatchet had been used to give the quietus to the victim. Miss Watkins had received two blows. One had cut through the bones of the forehead from tue right temple across to the left. It was given with force, and from the gaping opening the brains were pouring out upon the clotted blood. Another blow haa falien upon the right temple and had foroed in the bones of the skull in such a way as to force the eye from its socket. There, were bruises upon the arm, as though the assailant had clutched ber in a strong grip ainst her struggles to free herself from his hold. THE SURVIVING GIRL'S STORY. Miss Bostwick was three times struck with that active hatchet. One dlow on the left temple fractured the skull, another cut was a deep triangular slash on the right cheek, the third opened the face from the corner of the nose to the center of the upper lip. Two upper teeth were knocked out and two lower ones were broken. The wounds were terrible and the pain from them was excruciating. Yet the victim lived, and her first inquiry upon becoming conscious was about Genie. She was evidently not aware of what had taken place. From such ques- tions as could be put to the wounded girlit was inferred that the assailant wasa white man withablack mustache, but with such wounds it is not surprising that the mind wandered, and little weight can be placed upon such information. Here was her almost inarticulate story: When asked if she saw her assailant she said, ‘‘ Les. Was he colored?“ 4% No. „White?“ „es, and had a black mustache.’’ ‘*Where did you see him first?’’ In the yard. „With what were you struck?“ She returned no answer. ‘*With a stick?’’ * ‘No.’ * ‘With a hatchet?’? ses.“ * the man enter at the window?“ No. * At the door?“ se Ves. * * — he go out through the window?“ 2 .““ She saw him first in the yard. Did this murderer, as his Austin prototype, drag his victim out of doors after beating her into in- sensibility, and then perhaps return her mangled y tothe bed’ Several of the Aus- tin victims must have been beaten into un- consciousness while asleep and then taken away, for their oute would else have alarmed others in the house. The delibera- tion of the Gainsville murderer makes it possible that he did so drag the helpless body out and back again. But if so he must be a maniac. THE BLOODHOUNDS AGAIN BAFFLED. There was bright moonlight the night before —as on each night ofthe nine Austin murders —and an examination showed that tne hard sod outside the windows had failed to take the impress of the assassins foot. But when daylight came, tracks were found in the ploughed ground among the growing corn, in whicha — portion ot the vacant lot adjoin- an By planted. Still there was little to indi- cate that the tracks belonged to the murderer save the fact of their being found near the scene of his assault. The tracks were evi- dently made by feet incased in socks only and were of gigantic size, measuring over twelve inches in length. Another track of different size and shape was also found leading towards the house, but neither could be found near the window at which the fiend made his egress. A meeting of citizens raised $2,000 for use in ferreting out the criminal. Immediately upon being informed of the bloody affair officers telegraphed to several towns for bloodhounds, and a train arrived bringing two of the trail- ers. They were taken te the house and given the scent, but = ees was the crowd about the lot that they falled to strike a trail. The dogs were taken away and the crowd asked to disperse, which it did. Later on the dogs were again given the scent and, striking the trail, they followed it in a northerly direction to the creek bottom, were it was lost. Once more tue dogs were taken back to the house. This time they were kept for some time in the room where the deed was committed, were shown the spots of blood upon the window-sill left by the hand of the assassin and the track found in the gar- den. Againthey gave cry and followed the trali over the same course as formerly, losing it again at the same place. Athird time they were taken back and a third time they went over the same ground and gave up the chase at the same point. The great heat and ex treme dryness seemed to have destroyed the scent and the dogs were unable to accomplish anything more. In the meantime at least five hundred men, divided intwenty or more posses, mounted on horseback, scoured the country in ali directions. Asthey went along they aroused the farmers, who joined in the pursuit. Nine arrests were made, and the suspected parties were put under guard toawait examination. They were doubly protected by resolute men for tear thatthe enraged populace would tear them limb from limb even on slight suspicion YOUNG NORWOOD'S QUEER SUGGESTION.

In fact, there are ali manner of reports, be- sides the conjecture that the murder was the work ofa maniac. It is asserted, andthe re- — seems to come from a reliable source, hat Capt. Watkins stated in an interview that Mies Genie Watkins was a very important witness in a case several years ago wherein a man was sent to the penitentiary for robbery, and thatthe man’s sentence was out a few days before this murder was committed. The mau was heard to vow vengeance at the time of his conviction, and it is possible be may be the guilty party, having committed the crime at the first opportunity he had to secure the vengeance he vowed lon age But so strong is the belief here that the mur- der was the work of a maniac that grave s8us- picions rested upon the brother of Miss Bost- wick —— man some 21 or 22 years old, who is afflicted with 8 Persons, how- ever, well acquainted with the family and knowing the young man’s condition expresse emphatic disbelief in the theory. His physical condition, they said, was such that he could not climb in and out the window without as- sistance. Others expatiuted on the ease with which he could have jumped from the window, could have run around the house, throwin the hatchet in the well as he passed, climbe in aback window and crawled into bed. It was even rumored that the bloodhounds ran around the house from the last win- dow to a back window and tried to climb in the boy’s room. This atory on in- vestigation proved to be false. A close exam- ination was made of the well, parties goin down into ittwice,and nothing could be found. The boy’s room was carefully searched and no marks of blood or other traces could be found which would connect him with the awful crime. Besides, some of those who were present early after the alarm was given declare that he came into the room almost immediate- ly with unmistakable signs apes his face of having just waked up and that his horror and fright were such as could not have been simu- lated. In short, the matter has been thor- oughly sifted and his connection with the as- — seems to be clearly shown to be impossi- e. A BIG REWARD OFFERED. The officers who held the inquest on Miss Watkins admit that they have found absolute- ly no clews. . V. Bell, ex-District-Attorney, said: It is a horrible thought, for we cannot tell where he may strike next, but it looks like the work of a maniac, a man who considers himself commissioned to kill certain persons, whose diseased mind is unable to resist what he considers his calito duty and who is vet Pp ables him to cover up his tracks successfully. As to the identify of the maniac, I have no theory and no clew from which to weave one.“ Hon. J. A. Gar- nett, one of the leading criminal lawyers at this bar, was found in his mee, and said in reply to a question: ‘‘I think the assassin must have entered the house with tho inten- tion of committing an outrage, and that, dis- covered in his attempt, or else frightened by the presence of two young ladies, when he thought to find but one, he struck his mur- derous blows to enable him to make his es- cape. It is impossible to conceive of any- body committing such a deed without a mo- tive, and what other motive could there be except that of satisfying a brutal lust?“ Gov. Ross has offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the murderer. Citizens of Gainesville have raised $2,500 altogether for the same purpose, and the Dallas News has offered its columns fora popular subscription fund to secure the best detective ability to work up the case. J. Marks, a banker of Tex- arkana, has sent a check for $250, and is the first to respond to the call for a popular sub- scription. Miss Bostwick is slowly recovering. Much hope is expressed that with returnin strength her mind will become clearer an that she will remember something so conclu- sive of the terrible ordeal through which she passed as will aid the detectives to trace the assassin. MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. The Council Accepts the Report of the Con- ference Committee. The Council met last night to hear the report of the Conference Committee on the amend- ments to the appropriation bill. When Dele- gate Stone's amendment was reached on the street sprinkling item Mr. Nelson asked its object. Mr. Vogel said it meant no discrimi- nation. Mr. Metcalfe said he was opposed to the amendment. It had been charged that the amendment was principally in the interest of the contractors. While he did not believe that it was made in the interest of the contractors, he was opposed to the idea. Mr. Duross said that the excuse for the inser- tion of the amendment was a suspicion that the Council might discriminate against the Twenty-eighth Ward in approving the con- tracts, though this ward was better repre- sented than 1 4 other ward in the city. Mr. Nelson asked if the effect of the amendment would be to delay the work on the districts already let until the contracts were awarded in the other districts. He was informed that this was one of the objects of the amendment. When the appropriation of $2,345 for Recorder Williams was reached, Mr. O'Malley wanted to §know what this meant. In reply to Mr. Ganahl’s statement that the Comptroller had refused the appropriation, the Comptroller addressed the Council. He said that his con- persed. He had never refused the appropri- ation. Had no sympathy whatever with the frauds said to exist. For the Recorder Mr. Metcalf explained the work he had undertaken. Mr. O'Malley thought it mercenary to ask the city to refunc the money advanced by citizensin a patriotic endeavor to clean the registration lists. The report of the Conference Committee was adopted, against the votes of Messrs. Rohan and O’ Malley. The bill vacating Cabanne avenue, between Union and Hamiiton avenues, was referred to the Committee on Public Improvements to hear objections. It had already been en- grossed. The bill vacating streets between Russell, Grand, Shenandoah and Nebraska avenues was ordered engrossed and the Coun- cil adjourned. THE HOUSE. Ordinances providing for a low service pumping station tower and inlet at the Water- works was received from the Board of Public Improvements when the House met last night. The Lemp cable switch bill was sign- ed. After waiting fortwo hours to learn the action of the Council on the appropriation bill the House adjourned. MURDERED FOR HER MONEY.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. NEW YORK, July 22.—The particulars of a brutal assault committed on a 14-year-old girl in Union Hill, N. J., on Monday last, has just been made pnblic. The victimis Minnie Falk, the pretty daughter of George Falk, a saloon- keeper ofthis city. Her assailant was Charles Peters, the young son of Brewer Wm. Peters of Union Hill, who has left town to escape arrest. Falk is one of Brewer Peters’ customers. Minnie has been in poor bealth of late, and two weeks ago, when Charles Gertz, the collector for the brewery, visited Falk's place, the latter asked him to take Minnie to his home in Union Hill for a day or two, thinking the change might do her good. Gertz lives near the brewery, and Peters who, although only a little over 21 years old is married, lived in an adjoining house. Last Monday Minnie de- cided to start for home. Collector Gertz saw herasfaras the sidewalk and directed her how to reach the horse cars. As she was walking along the dark street, young Peters, with whom she had been become acquainted during her stay at Union Hill, met her. He volunteered, it is said, to see her as far as the car. Instead ot doing so, however, he took her into a vacant lot in the rear of the brewery, and there, it is alleged, despite the girl's efforts and screams to get away,assault- ed her. Peters went away, leaving his victim lying on the ground. Ihe girl later in the night made her way to Mr. Gertz’ house and told the story of the outrage. She remained at the house till next morning, when Mr. Gertz took her to her father’s house, where she has been confined to her bed since. On the day after the assault, before Gertz had a chance to see him, Peters and his wife left Union Hill. It was said in Union Hill yesterday that he had gone to Canada. Brewer Peters refused to talk with reporters yesterday about the mat- ter, and would not say whether the story about his son was true or not. Another son, William, admitted the truth of the assault, and told the reporter that Charles was a wild and worthiess fellow. He has been in a great many scrapes and has caused his father much sroubie. iad he remained in Union Hill it is said he would have been 8 handled. Collector Gertz could not be seen, but a friend of his said that when he heard of the assault, he went looking for Peters with a revolver. The girl's father was in Union Hill yesterday looking for Peters. TELEGRAPAIC BREVITIES. Metz, in Reichsland, is said to be bustling with military activity. Jas.

Jadge Valliant’s Decision in the Miller Geebel Case—An Appeal—New Suits. Judge Valliant rendered a decision to-day in the suit of Miller vs. Goebel. It was a contro- versy over some property which was deeded to Mr. Haim and by bim to Mr. Goebel as trus- tee for Mrs. Goebel and the court holds that it was a perfectly fair transaction. The prop- erty was about to be sold under a deed of trust and would not have brought more than tbe incumbrance in which emergency through the solicitation of Mrs. Goebel Gauss agreed to advance the money to pay off the deed of trust upon terms dictated by shy He did so, and the conveyance complained of was made in pursuance of those terms. Goebel had come into court claiming — eee as a homestead exemp- tion the pleadings should be shaped to raise that question. As it is alleged that Goebel made the conveyance to defrand his creditors, the factthat it would have been exemptto him as a homestead is a circumstance going to negative that allegation. The judgment is in favor of the defendant. Notes in Court. P. W. Fauntleroy, counsel for J. H. Schier- hoff, the old man twice confined at the Clay- under an execution and judgment for assault, has obtained a writ of error and will take the case before the Supreme Court. He applied to Judge Edwards at Clayton for a supersedeas this afternoon. Judge Thompson of the Court of Appeals denied the writ of habeas corpus. Judge Valliant to-day granted a decree of incorporation for the Marquette Club, the new Catholic organization. Letters of administration were granted to- day to Augusta Mauch on the estate of Henry Mauch. The estate is valued at $3,000. The willof Frederick Langenburg was ad- mitted to probate to-day. The property is left to the widow, who is yg or ge executriz. Judge Valliant will hold court in No. 5to- morrow, Monday, Wednesday and Friday of next week, Monday and Friday of the week — and Wednesday of the following week.

Cireuit-Attorney CLOVER says that light pleas are accepted in criminal cases be- ‘cause juries are so prone to acquit. And yet criminals persist in evading jury- trial by swapping pleas of guilty for very light-sentences. _ | SURMISES in regard to the purpose of Senator VEST’S visit to Alaska are some- what premature. Summerthere is cool, the-scenery picturesque and the fishing fine. Moreoven, a Senator returning from that region ought to have more or less of valuable information about the Alaska Fur Seal Company's job. — — — — IN the election fraud cases at Indian- apolis, Justice HARLAN held that any vio- lation of a State law regarding elections, when a Congressman is to be elected, is an offense against the United States and may be tried and punished in the United States Courts. The Municipal officials who are trying to obstruct the enforce- ment of State election laws in this city would do well to remember this decision. 1 — ˖ _—. —— — — INSTEAD of fighting against the efforts of the State Administration to confer upon the taxpayers of St. Louis the se- curity of a full, fair and correct registra- tion of voters, Comptroller CAMPBELL might devote some little of his time, tal- ents and influence to securing a better equalization of assessments, thereby re- lieving St. Louis taxpayers of a part of the double share of State taxation now wrongfully imposed on them. _—— -_——_ — — — PROTESTS against the giving away of Grand avenue to a street car company are heard. The reckless surrender of streets to railways will go on in spite of protests until the ‘‘gift’’ of such franchises by the eity can no longer be sold by ward politi- cians. When franchises are sold to the highest bidder on the city’s account, and are no longer voted away on private terms,regard for the public good will have a better show in determining whether a franchise shall be granted or withheld. a Tun career of the late GERARD B. ALLEN is one of the many forcible illustrations of the possibilities within the reach of all Americans who possess the requisite qual- ities. A mechanic of foreign birth and the son of a mechanic, he came to St. Louis young, poor and friendless, and while making here an immense fortune won also the respect and good will of his fellow-citizens, and made for himselfa character of which his descendants may well be.prouderthanof the wealth heeft them. ' Tus withdrawal of Democratic veterans from the post to which Gen. Famonmp belongs at Madison, Wis., suggests that one of the results which threaten to flow from the blatant partisanship of some of the Grand Army leaders isthe formation of a new and separate organization. The movement has begun in lowa, where a number of posts of National Veterans has peen formed, The denunciation by loud- mouthed: politicians- of-any ‘attempt to | bring politics, particularly of the opposite stripe to theirs, in the ofder, seems to have impressed Democratic veterans with the idea that there is too much one-sided- ness in the prevailing method of keeping politics out of the G. A. R. THE NEW ALCALDE SYSTEM. The Globe-Democrat thus re-words and endorses Cirouit-Attorney CLOVER’S ex- planation and defense of his system of making an old-time Mexican Alcalde of himself and clearing the docket of most criminal eases without trial and in ac- cordance with agreements reached in hugger-mugger conferences between him- self and the attorneys for the defendants: Phe Post-DispaTou, in a fit of midsummer idiocy, tries to make a sensation out of a few sections of the Criminal Court docket. The dreadful point is made that the Circuit-Attor- ney has in a number of cases accepted pleas of guilty, and consented to reduced punishment, rather than go to trial and take the chances of acquittal. The Circuit- Attorney has done just right. It is a good deal better for the State to accept a minor plea and make sure of lesser punishment than togo to trial and lose nine cases out of ten because of the unwillingness of juries to convict. One-halfof the jury ac- quittals in the Criminal Court are in deflance of evidence and instructions. Following this is the old familiar attack upon the system of trial by jury and upon the unfitness of juries here and elsewhere for dealing justly with accused persons, the whole winding up with the conclusion that ‘‘the fewer cases submitted to them the better.’’ So we are to treat Circuit-Attorney CLOVER’S new system of trying criminal cases as a deliberate and wholesale effort to do away with trial by jury, and to sub- stitute something better. It will be re- membered that the Post-DISPATCH yes- terday gave a list of 240 cases disposed of without trial in the few months since Judge NORMILBE’s term began, the Circuit- Attorney accepting pleas of guilty to minor offenses and the accused accepting sentences far milder than those threat- ened by the indictment. The defense of this Mexican Alcalde system is that the accused were thus more surely and more severely punished than they would have been if they had stood upon their Constitutional rights and de- manded trials according to law by a jury of the vicinage. If so, then they were cheated into a wrongful surrender of their rights and have been subjected to in- famous punishments contrary to the in- tent of our laws, and contrary to the whole tenor of Anglo-Saxon jurispru- dence. But if juries are notoriously so lax and so prone to acquit criminals, is it not strange that in a few short months 240 indicted persons jumped at Circuit-Attor- ney CLOVER’S offer to settle their cases for them, instead of trusting to the justice of the Criminal Court and the leniency of juries? Did ever lawyer or newspaper be- fore put forth a defense so absurdly self- contradictory on its face? Per contra the Police Department unan- imously protests against this novel per- version of our laws, and Chief Huebler asks: ‘‘How can we keep the city clear of ‘*crooks, when as fast as we arrest them they are let out without trial and on *‘short sentences!“ The abuses bound to creep into this new system are manifest to everybody, and if our criminal jurisprudence is to be revo- lutionized and jury trial to be done away with, let it be done bv the Legislature and not by a mere Four Courts official. ͤ——ꝛ— — —äöͤ— Ir was Ohio and the Democratic Con- gressmen of Ohio that gave Mr. RANDALL the strongest support he received outside of his own State and the Republican party. Yet the Ohio Democratic Conven- tion demands a reduction of ‘‘the present burdensome tariff,’’ and emphatically de- nounces ‘‘any attemptto abolishthe tax on liquors for the purpose of keeping up ‘*the present unequal, unjust andonerous „tariff system.“ Mr. RANDALL will have to look to the Republican party, identified as it is with the Prohibition party in so many States, for all the support he will get in his effort to abolish the tax on ‘liquors for the purpose of keeping up the: present unequal, unjust and onerous „tariff system.“ THERE are in our Municipal Assembly both Republicans and Democrats who protested and fought manfully against the Count Rodman election frauds. The Democratic name would be disgraced forever if there were not some Democrats as well as some Republicans always ready tostand upand fight for the cause of honest and fair elections, no matter which party stood in the way. If the party that stands in the way did not always get the worst of it in the end, popular self-government would soon fall into contempt and end in dismal failure. METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New Vork Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspPatcn. NEW YORK, July 22.—The WORLD says: „Senator John Sherman has had himself made a delegate to the Republican Ohio State con- yention which meets at Toledo next week. His ultimatum is that the convention must indorse his Presidential aspirations, otherwise be will not be a candidate next year. As Ohio is a Blaine State a merry time may be anticipated.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘The action of the Demo- cratic Convention substantially settled what little doubt there was regarding the renomi- nation of Mr. Cleveland by the Democratic .

To the Editor of the Post · Dispatch: Iam very much interested in your publica- tion of the pleas of the criminals and their punishment in our Criminal Court.They were, from the list, charged witha good many in- famous crimes and got off with fines and im- prisonment intended for misdemeanors. I would like to ask the Judge and Circuit- Attor- ney afew questions: Is it not pretty gage law and settled by good authority like Field, Cooley, Mathews and Cole, that a person cannot waive any rights ina criminal proceeding against him, especially if he is charged with an infamous crime? 2. Can a person charged with an infamous crime be proceeded against by information? I answer no, he must be proceeded against by indictment and jury trial. 8. Cana person as above charged waive a jury and be tried by the court? I answer no. e must be tried by a jury. Now comes the ending question: Can a person charged with an infamous crime, or felony, waive a jury trial, plead guilty,and without a word ot evidence be sen- tenced by the court to a term of years in prison? Which sentence deprives him of liberty and citizenship and puts the brand of Cain on him. What are the guarantees that the Constitution throws around the citizen? Common rights, life, lib- erty, property and the pursuit of happiness. These cannot be taken away from any without a jury trial.

The Silent Vote Evil, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: It has been a matter of regret thatso many citizens of St. Louis abstain from voting. In- quiry among many employes developed the fact that want of time and a disinclination on the partof employers to grunt leave of ab- — has kept hundreds of voters from the polls. In many instances, no doubt, employers do not think to ask their employes whether they have voted. It is not too strong to say employ- ers are largely responsible for havi bad men in office. A little time, a little trouble, a few words from them to those in their employ, would soon make a revolution in city, State and national politics, so far at least as having good men in office is concerned. It is the complaint that you can scarcely get good men to run for office, It is true, mainly, because other good men will neither spend time, words nor thought to aid them. It isnotso with the politicians. They are at work early and ever, and they seetoit that all their ‘‘employes’’ are at the polls and vote right.“ In New York City, I understand, on election day ail business is suspended. Could not the same result be secured in St. Louis by ropes effort? Could you not help to bring it about? JOHN T. FIELD. The Sprinkling Contracters’ Ring. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: I, in common with thousands of other citi- zens, have followed with much interest the proceedings in our Municipal Assembly in re- gard to the street sprinkling question, and (to use a common saying) it makes one tired to see the many ways and means that are tried to see how not to do it. Is it possible that we have not men enough of brains and nerve to push this thing through and sit down on the ring men who stand in the way ofthis great public necessity? The sprinkling appropria- tion should standatthe head of the list and net be touched for any purpose whatever, or asmall special tax should be levied forthe purpose, and any surplus devoted to street cleaning, aud then we should not be liable at any time to have the ordinance defeated by monopolist rings of ‘‘inflooence’’ and other public nuisances.

They have seen with great regret the deterioration of the kindergartens in the last two years, and have begun to fear that St. Louis might lose entire] afeature of its public schools which — for itself by its past excellence a reputation that was almost world-wide.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Dis raren. New YORK, July 22.—Fresh and hearty from a six weeks rest at his daughter’s house, ex- Senator Allen G. Thurman arrived yesterday at the Fifth Avenue Hotel with his wife and grand-daughter. To-day he will go back to his home in Ohio. A reporter visited Mr. Thur- man in his room last night. He looked strengthened and happy. How do you like the nomination?’’ „The nominee is a capable man, a good | speaker and quite worthy of the nomination. He will make a very earnest and strong run. All three of the candidates were good men and men of standing in the State.’’ „But the Republiean papers here say that the candidates were all small fry politicians.’’ „That is not true. They are young men and, of course, young men ure seldom as dis- tinguished as the old ones, But none of the candidates are small fry. They were good men, indeed.’’ „Mr. Thurman, do you think the resolution endorsing Mr. Cleveland is a fair expression of Democratic opinion in Ohio?’’ ‘‘Ido. Ithink Mr. Cevleland is popular in Ohio. I think he is popular throughout the country. ; To what do you attribute his popularity?’’ A BRAVE AND HONEST MAN. „The man’s honesty and his courage. The American people like a brave man and an honest man. Everybody must admit that Mr. Cleveland is both.’’ „ou think that his administration has been successful?“ „He has done wonderfully well and has made very few blunders. Of course he has made blunders, but, considering his position, very few. Do you think he is stronger now than he was in 1884?’’ He is. I think that there is very little oppo- sition to his renomination for the presidency. | He would be a hard man to beat it he was re- nominated,’’ ‘*Suppose that Mr. Blaine was his opponent, do you think Mr. Cleveland would be elected?’’ „J certainly think he would.“ By a larger majority than before?’’ J am not a prophet.’’ No, but what is your opinion from the pres- ent outlook?“ 41 think he would be elected if he ran against Mr. Blaine.“ „How about Mr. Sherman?’’ - THE LABOR VOTE. „He would beat Mr. Sherman. Mr. Cleve- land isthe strongest man that could be nom- inated; the strongest man inthe Democratic party. But everything depends to al ex- tent how the labor vote will go in New Tork. The labor men may run a Presidential candi- date. In that case no man could predict a re- suit. If they are wise though, they will not do it. The labor party feel that it can do as the Abolition party did—go on from small things to greater. Its leaders = seek to make it a balance-of-power party.

NEW YORK, July 22.—The WORLD, in an ed- itorial on the Ohio Democratic State Conven- tion, says: The platform is an excellent one. It is sound in its positions on the tariff, the surplus, the restriction of corporate power, the retention ot the public lands for settlers, home rule, and other questions. It unequivocally indorses Mr. Cleveland’s Administration. In- deed, the majority was determined that the osition of the convention towards Mr. Cleve- and should not be doubtful. As the Admin- istration is thus put on trial in Ohio, it is per- haps anfortunate that itsown avowed princi- ples preclude it from giving aay ot and en- couragementto its party in the campaign. Mr. Powell, the nominee for Governor, is an experienced machine politician, who was trained in the Standard Oil school and was prominent in the local crusade against Mr. Pendleton. Heis by no means a strong candidate with the people and has no particular qualifications for the office for which he is nominated, yet it is to be hoped that a strong fight will be made, since a Democratic State administration is certainly better for the people than a Republican ad- ministration, and Democratic success will clearly §define the position of the Ohio De- mocracy on the question of the second term, but the Republicans are likely to be 0 nious and their convention wil doubtless re- nominate Gov. Foraker. It will not do, there - fore, for the Democracy to build its hopes ona Democratic victory in Ohio this year.’ THE HERALD. The Herald says: The people are being treated just now to some uare, hard-fisted, hard-headed and old-fashioned Democratic doctrine. The convention at Louisville fired a heavy broadside on May 4, and now the Cleve- land convention follows suit with a set of res- olutions which indicate that the party In Ohio mean business.

Mr. Robert Bonner Telis How He Engaged the Pepular Story- Writer. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. NEW YorRK, July 22.—Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., who died at ig residence in Hyde Park, Mass., Wednesday; was probably the best known of the story-writers of this country and one of the most voluminous composers. He had written exclusively for the New York Ledger for thirty-one years. Robert Bonner, editor and proprietor of that paper, told a reporter yesterday how he came to engage Cobb. In 1855, said Mr. Bonner, ‘‘I published a story by Fanny Fern, known as the ‘One- Hundred-Dollar-a-Column Story’ from the price which I paid the authoress. The agent of Ballou’s Pictorial came to me to solicit an advertisement of this story and I gave it to him. Soon after, in the editorial columns of the Pictorial an article a „ Suggesting that the One-Hundred-Dollar-a-Column Story was good enough to teil the mariues, and thus casting a doubt on my veracity as a publisher. I compiained to the agent of the popes that this was scarcely fair after having solicited an advertisement of the very story attacked, and the result was that I received a letter from the editor stating that the article was a mistake and had been written by a subordinate. Ianswered that I did not con- sider a private apology ample redress, and then I set to work to have my innings. I knew that Mr. Cobb was the most popu writer that Ballou had, and I found out what salary he was getting. lat once offered him doubie this amount to write exclusively for the Ledger, an offer which he accepted, and since 1856 not a line from his pen has been con- tributed to any other paper.’’ The first story written by Mr. Cobb for Mr. Bonner, ‘‘The Gunmaker of Moscow,’’ pro the most popular of all his tales, and was republished a few yearsago. When bis engagement was made Mr. Cobb pro to write eighteen columns a week, but Mr. Bon- ner declined to acce so much work at his hands. In all, 103 of his long stories, a great number of short sketches, have been printed in the Ledger, and Mr. ‘Bonner has eighteen more on hand to be printed. Mr. Cobb was a light-hearted, genial, companion- able man, resembling in this respect J. G. Saxe. He was a Republican and a favorite litieal speaker in Maine, the State of his irth. He had lived at Hyde Park fifteen or twenty years. THE RUBBER DEALERS, A Scheme to Form a Trust for the Control of the Trade. Ry Telegraph te the Post-Disparcu. PHILADELPHIA, July 22.—There is a great deal of talk among rubber dealers about an effort that is being made by some of the larger rubber manufacturers to form a trust for the eontrol of the trade. The undertaking is in the hands of a committee of five who are soliciting members among manufacturers. The committee is not meeting with much suc- cess, and it will possibly be several months fore an organization is effected. The small manufacturers are reluctant to place their business interests under the control of the larger men, and the larger con- cerns 8 that they will be required to furnish nearly all the capital for the trust, and yet the weaker members will have equal benefi with those who bear the financial burden. Back of this is the mutual suspicion of the manufac- turers, which has affected the members of nearly all mercantile trusts recently organ- ized. Instead of all members living up faith- fully to the schedule of prices, some one in- variably sells at a rebate, thus ‘‘quietly secur- ing a large volume of the trade to the detriment of the others.’’ The larger concerns are situ- in New England, and there is just enough annoyance the small manufacturers of New Jersey to cause some ofthe big con- cerns to desire a combination, : The object of the trust, as explained by Mr. Montgomery and Wm. Heaton, a — dealer, is to purchase direct from il the raw prodvet, thus saving the ‘commission and profits now made by brokers. Brazil fur- nishes the bulk of the best quality of rubber used inthe American market, and making purchases direct, the trust would be able to control and regulate prices of raw material. ‘‘Some kind of a combina- tion is needed,’’ continued Mr. Montgom- ery. ‘‘A year ago we could buy at 60 per cent off. ow the best rate is 40 and 10 „which is an advance of 16 per cent. There has been a great improvement in the manufacture of American rubber pgp © A few years ago only cheap and inferior goods were made in this country and the English got all the best trade, e Yankees quickly learned the art and to-daythey are pu rubber on fine fabrics; muking elegant an substantial garments for which they get a big AN OCEAN BRACE, The Progress of Two Tea-Laden Ships Watched With Interest.

Nothing else is spoken of at the Four Courts to-day but the PosT- DISPATCH exposure of the plea system of the Oriminal Court. While everybody about the building knew that numerous pleas were being accepted, no one knew that the number received was so enormous. There appeared to bea desire in court of late to clear the jail and docket at all hazards, before adjourning for the summer. A case in which two prisoners may be gaid to have been ‘‘biuffed’’ into plead- ing, occurred Wednesday morning. John Wiliams und Sadie Truehbart, both colored, were indicted for grand larceny, be- ing charged with stealing nine silver watches and five revolvers, all valued at $45, from Joseph Schnur. The woman had agreed to plead guilty to petit larceny and accept a fine of $10, which would keep her in the Work- house about two months. When she was brought up to the rail she refused to plead and Circuit-Attorney Clover said: Tour Honor, | will have to take a continuance in this case then. This woman had agreed to plead guilty andthe punishment had been de- termined upon. Thinking there would be no trial, I dismissed the prosecuting witness and now the defendant refuses to plead guilty. For this reason I will have to take a continu- ance. ” “If she has done this,“ said Judge Normile, ‘she has no one to blame for this continuance but herself. Let her go back to jail and stay there until fall and boil out. The woman was taken back to jail, but the words of the Court had a terrible effect on her, and in a balf hour both she and Jobn Williams came back into court, entered pleasof guilty and were fined $100 each. 3 2 — THE LAWYERS, What They Think of the ‘‘Plea” System in the Criminal Court. The following interviews with members of the legal profession show what they think of the plea system. JACOB KLEIN. While I have never practiced particularly at the Criminal Court, still l have read the arti- cles in the Post-DIsPaTcH with much interest, and certainly have my opinions on this ques- tion of entering lesser pleas, not as a lawyer, but asacitizen. When a person is indicted by the Grand-jury foracrime of any kind itis perfectly presumable that he is indicted the facts in the case as col- by the prosecuting officer’ or on facts coming out of the Prosecuting- Attorney’s otfice. The Grand jury do not in- dict a man on no evidence and their evidence is therefore submitted by the Circuit-Attor- ney. When an tndictment is found then it devolves upon the Prosecuting-Attorney to make out his case. Sbould it happen that he finds he can make no case whatever out of the facts he is able to lay hands upon then of course itis wellenough for him to agree to acceptaplea of guilty fora lesser olfense, thatis when he is satisfied that tne punish- ment which the criminal is about to receive is proportionate to the offense. That is a matter of sound discretion and should be exercised with the gravest care. lreally believe that there are cases in which the circumstances would justify such proced- ures, but atthe same time I think that such cases are remarkably rare. It is a matter which is of great interest to the public, inas- much as they desire to see ell criminals serve the proper punishment for their erimes. Per- sonaily I do not know anything about the par- ticular cases cited by the 8T- DISPATCH. Fach one of these, of course, is varied by the peculiar circumstances surrounding it, and my opinion, therefore, is not based upon these articuler cases. The Judge of the Criminal ourt and the Circunt- Attorney are, in my opinion, both honorable men, and 1 haveno desire to pass upon their actions. Only this is clear; that the 1 officer in all these cases should do the best he can to make out a case and never to e to present a lesser plea to the court when there is the re motest possibility of a clear case being made out. Idonotsee whatelse the court can do buttake the suggestion of the prosecutin officer for the simple reason tha the latter is supposed to have made the proper investigations and have sifted down all the evidence in the cases. Mind now, I do notsay that it is wrong to accept pleas fto lesserg§crimes for that is in the discretion of the officer, but I do not be- lieve that the circumstances in the vast major- ity of Cases warrant the action. CHARLES CLAFLIN ALLEN. When the law 1 a system of proceed - ure it should be followed. If the system works badly the law should be changed. Cases presented by the Grand-jury, after due delib- eration, ought to be tried. The discretion of the Prosecuting-Attorney should be exercised sparingly and only under exceptional circum- stances. The practice of accepting pleas for lower grades of offenses than those charged le dangerous, because, however honestly be- gun, it furnishes precedents which may lead to grave abuses. MR. J. C. JONES was found at the office of WM. C. Jones, ex- Judge of the Criminal Court. He said: It is unquestionably bad policy to treat criminals With such great leniency. The rough, tough element soon ye to understand that they can get off with light puaishment and they act on this understanding. In the vourse of afew years one will see the bad effects of this plan of receiving pleas and letting them off With slight punishment. ~~ saw a case recently up there at the Four Courts of &iclow who was charged with stealing $200 or SH, and be was permitted to plead guilty to Stealing an amount under $30. In this case there was not a mitigating circumstance.’’ MR. CHARLES F. JOY Said: There are a great many cases in which the prosecution is not only justified, but should take pleas, as otherwise criminals would gofree. In the first place the Prosecut- ing-Attorney has no means provided to get tes- mon except to make vances out of his — pocket. Often the prosecution is left elpless. An important witness goes away— goes over the river—what can the prosecation of Isn'tit better to take a plea and send the criminal to punishment than to fight out a case for a higher sentence with the outcome long delayed and doubtful. I'll eve you a case in point, that of the Chinese ighbinders.

He said: ‘I think it is outrageous to submit Mr. Clover and Judge Normile to unfavorable criticism in this when they are to do their duty under the law, while another man abso- lu and notoriously nullifys and abrogates yin le of M the law, den peo] is- souri the t to appeal. Aside from e the necessi of taking pleas such as have taken show ot. I think , don’t think either Judge Normile or Mr. Clover are at all to blame forthe course they have taken. In the first , there has been no revision of the criminal law for years. There is a great latitude for punishments, from a fine to years in the peni- tentiary, and there is no manner of grading that punishment except by examination on the part of the Prosecuting-Attorney. We punish men in this State with a minimum of two years in the penitentiary, where- as in most States the minimum is fixed at just one-half that amount. Our om. cers are compelled to this bythe structure of the laws. To avoid punishments that are too severe for the offenses, as our law stands, the cuting-Attorney must take pleas for the same offense in lower es to make a just and graded punishment. We assess heavier unishments for small offenses than any city nthe Union. Take the Police Courts, for instance; a trivial offense that should not be punished by more than two or three days’ confinement, is visited with a fine of $10 or $15, in default of which the poor wretch goes to the Work-house for thirty or forty days. Think of what that is in weather like this. Judge Normile and Mr. Olover are working under the same system, as far as the Criminal Court is concerned, as ex- isted here when St. Louis had only 1 pulation of 2, 000 people, and po in all this time there has not been an addition made to facilitate the discharge ot business. Why should people comp! if there is a little mercy shown this weather in the cities, when to go to the Work-house for six months is a heavier penalty than to send a man to the peniten- tiary fortwo years. Disposing of these cases in this way saves costs tothe State. This isa rapid disposition of cases that is just as effect- ive, as far as the administration of justice is concerned, as giving longer sentences. There has been more work done in the Criminal Court by these gentiemen than has ever been done before in the same time. MR. JAY L. TORREY said:. It has always been and still is, as I un- derstand it, a policy of the law that criminals — receive, upon a plea of guilty, the min- imim punishment. I have — gd queried in my own mind as to whether would not be a great clearing out of the jail if it were gen- erally understood * the prisoners that they oould get off with minimum punishment by confess their crimes. I remember to have heard Judge Dillon say, while pronoun- cing sentence on a ee wt defendant, that it was not the severity of the law but the cer- tainty of its a. — entitles the law to the res g ple. It is a 4 fact that a great number of the defendants are arraigned in the United States Circuit Court, * gullty and receive ininimum punishment. I remember one case in which a mall agent came in on the Iron Mountain road in the morning in the dis- charge of his duty, was detected in the act of robbing the mails, was arrested and indicted in the forenoon by the Grand-j „which hap- pened to be in session, arraigned and pleaded guilty at 2 0’clock, senten tothe minimum 8 and was sent to the penitentiary that night’strain. No doubt he served out his term fore he would, in the ordinary course, have gotten to trial had he pursued the usual course of attempting to avoid a just punishment. There are a good many instances in which justice is entirely defea by an attempt to enforce a greater punishment than is ti deserved. The most conspicuous case that remember was that Edward Rickart. He was unfortunate enough to have killed a woman. He was indicted by a Grand-jury that made a great repusation for the number and high grade of ite indictments. His in- dictment was murder in the first degree and was founded on the testimony of a woman that was at the time two floors above the one upon which the act was committed, a police- man who arrived afterwards, and a saloon- keeper who was half a block ote The de- fendant at all times offer to plead ullty to manslaughter in the fourth egree and to go to the eniten- tiary for two years because he had, by the careless handling of a weapon, taken the life ofa human being; but the State maintained that it was murder in the first degree, and the result was a fight that lasted for three years and finally resulted inthe acquittal of the de- fendant. At the first trial he was convicted, but a new trial was secured ; the next trial was a hung jury and the third resulted in the dis- charge of the prisoner. I felt then and feel now thatto have hung that man would have been judicial murder. The expense of his in- carceration andof the three trials was very great, and the moral community, ignorant of the actual facts, was, of course, outraged when he was discharged. Had his plea been accepted the law would have been vindicated and great e nse saved to the State. think pleas of gulity should be en- couraged because of the economy to the State. There are cases of course in which the hein- ousness of the crime merits the severest pun- ishment; I think it would probably be 22 policy to clear the docket as far as possible by leas so that the court would have more time n which to try the cases which, by reason of the enormity of the offense or the uncertainty of the facts in the case merit very careful try- ing MR. EDWARD C. KEHR, of the law firm of Kehr 4 Tittman, said: ‘‘I am not sufficiently familiar with criminal pro- cedure to speak accurately as to the right of the Circuit- Attorney to accept pleas of guilty to an offense of lesser degree in the eye of the law entered by the defendantor his attorney, in a criminal prosecution, but I have no doubt that it exists, as it has beena part of the practice of our criminal courts ever since their establishment. The right to accept such pleas is of a dis- cretion nature, and, judging from the effects its exercise, is necessarily unlim- ited, as the authority of a Circuit- Attorney to enter a nollie prosequi, ip any case, where, in his judgment, the evidence against the de- fendant would not warrant a conviction, has, I believe, never been questioned. It would be manifestly unjust to the defendant, and an un- warran expense of public money, if the Circuit-Attorney were to go to trial in a case where there was absolutely no proof of the defendant's guilt, or possibility of securing conviction.’’ But, 22 the reporter, the un- limited right upon the evidence relied upon for conviction, coupled with the right to judge of its effectiveness, ‘also to determine whether or not such evidence should go toa jury, endows the Circuit-Attorney with the qualifications of both judge and jury.’’ Les, ina certain sense it does, as it rests with him, in view of all the circumstances of each case, whether the defendant is to be put upon his trial or not, and such being the case, it renders the exercise of this dis- cretionary power one of extreme delicacy and difficulty. The power being purely a iscretionary one, makes it 8 sus ceptible to abuse, and it could, inthe hands of à corrupt prosecutor, be made totally sub- versive to public justice. For these reasons it should be rarely exercised, and then only with the greatest caution. I wish it distinctly stated that anything I may say here is not intended as an allusion to any public officer now charged with the execution of our criminal laws, or, in the least, as a refiection upon the propriety of the acceptance of any such place which may have been neretofore entered In the disposition of cases in the Criminal Court. I am simply giving you my views upon this proposition e principle, and how, and when it should be ——— This power of discriminating judgment is a sacred trust reposed in the Circuit-Attorney, ay | with other rights, rg be and duties ~ 4 whom he represents, an should be exercised by him, as would in his honest judgment best subserve the public in- terest. A flagrant abuse of this power would be a gross betrayal of the ublic confidence, while on the other nd a healthful and judicious rerozgative by the prosecut- ing officer would certainly. be for the public weal, as it greatly e tes the business of the court and saves the cost of e trial. No one who is not cognizant of the rea- sons which in the acceptance of such a exercise of this lea ls in a position to say whether the diacre- on of the Clireult-Attorney was wisely exer- cised or not, as all such actions must be judged in the light of the circumstances sur- rounding each particular case, and there never alike. Forinstance the moral - 0. said: 1 40 not call te ticular provision of the statutes by which the authority is conferred upon the Circuit- Attor- „ but firm) established as a rule of law, and certainty forms a feature of our criminal proced t rule when Es ee — Be * * ut 8 ou * * think, is limited to such offenses asare similar in their general nature, but as to their criminal liability, owing the existence, or want of certain cloments, which stamp the character of the crime. I has been customary, ever since I have been in the practice, which is something over forty- three yeurs now, where conviction of the higher offense is doubtfal, or improbabie, to accept S plea of guilty to one of a lower grade, provid such grade comes within the of the indictment. For inetance, there are de of murder and four of manslaughter an under an dictment for murd in the de the defendant the , ifthe evidence adduced at the trial hich must exist to constitute murderin the first d e, but which would clearly render him liable to the penalty for manslaughter in the fourth d . In such a case it would rfectly absurd, and highly reprehensible, in e Oircuit- Attorney to refuse a plea of guilty to manslaughter, when the punishment in- flicted upon such a plea would be as great as that w — — ae. imposes by — ury. 0 majesty 0 0 aw vindicated, the expenses of a protracted trial avoided, and the business of the court greatly accelerated. What more can the most ex- acting citizen demand? Do not understand that I favor the general acceptance of pons, simply for the sake of avoiding trial, or that think the offender entitled to any considera- tion, outside the circumstances of the case. My idea is, that the practice is permitted for the furtherance of justice, and to facilitate the transaction of business. To your inguiry whether this power has been wisely and „ exercised by our present Circuit- Attorney, I make no pretense of answering, as I have no knowledge of the circumstances which influenced his judgment. This discretionary 128 is one of the functions of his office, and is wisely ex- ercised when warranted by the proper con- siderations. In my relations with the Circuit Attorney’s office I have no reason to believe that its incumbent has arbitrarily used this important power, although 1 have noticed that of late the number of pleas submitted and accepted has greatly increased. This fact alone, however, would not justify one in stat- ing that the powers of the office were abused. THE IRON AND STEEL TRADE. Interesting Statistics Regarding the FPro- duction and Stock for 1887. PHILADELPAIA, Pa., July 22.—The Bulletin, published by the American Iron and Steel As- sociation, says: The American Iron and Steel Association has received from the manufact- urers complete statistics of the production of pig-iron in the United States in the first six months of the present year, also complete sta- tistics of the stocks of unsold pig-iron in the hands of manufacturers or their ents on the S0th of June last. hese statistics are not only complete, but they are accurate. The total production of pig-iron in the United States in the first six months of 1887 amounted to 38,051,690 s tons of 2,240 pounds. Our production In the last six months of 1886 was 3,045,642 gross tons. The produc- tion inthe first six months of 1887 was very slightly in excess of that in the last six months of 1886. The reduction in the making of bituminous ig-iron was almost exactly balanced by the increase in the make of mixed anthracite and coke pig-iron aud the slightly increased production ofan- thracite pig-iron alone, indicating the substitution in the first six months of 1887 of anthracite for coke in the production of about 115,000 net tons of pig-iron. The produc- tion of spiegeleisen and ferro-manganese in the st six months of 1887 included in the aggregate production of pia ron) is a dis appointment. It was only 25,436 net tons. In the whole of the year 1836 we made 47,982 net tons. The production of Bes- semer pig iron for the first half of 1587 was 1. 445,674 net tons, or about 42 percent of our total production of pig-iron. Contrary to the general expectation, the — of pig iron in the Southern States uring the first six months of 1887 did not advance, but was a little less than in the last six months of 1886. The explanation of the failure of the South to make as much progress in the manufacture of pig-iron in the first half of 1887 as has been e ted of her is two-fold. first, several of her furnaces have been han dicapped by a lack of coke. Second, none of the new furnaces in the South which were under contract last winter or last spring have yet been completed. THE STOCKS OF PIG-IRON which were unsold in the hands of mann- facturers or their agents on the soth of June last, and which were not intended fer the con- sumption of the manufacturers, amounted to 264,717 net tons, against 252,704 net tons on the Sist of December last. The general impres- sion has been that stocks were greatly reduced at the close of June, but the figures show that they were as large then as at the beginning of the year. The aggregate was, however, very small compared with the immense consump- tion of pig-iron that is now in progress in this country. The production of Bessemer steel ingots in the first haif of 1887 amounted to 1,637,572 net tons, against 1,467,830 tons in the last half of 1886, and 1,073,663 tons in the first half of 1886. Ineluded in the production of the first half of 1287 were 51, tons of Clapp-Griffiths ingots 2 21,561 tons in the last halt of 1886, and „810 tons in the first half- of 1886. The steel rails in production of Bessemer the first half of 1887 amounted to 1,030,530 | — tons. The production in the first alt of 1887 indicates a total production of 2,100,000 gross tons for the whole year. It can- not materially exceed these figures. The pro- duction of] was 1,574,708 gross tons, in cluding steel rails rolled in tron rolling mills. er of open hearth steel ingots in the first half of 1 amounted to 174,400 net tons, against 152,710 tons in the second half of 1886, and 92,540 tons in the first half of 188. In the first half of 1887 we made 12,396 net tons of open hearth steel rails. “*ONCLE LOU.” Graphic Pen-Picture of & Typical, Smooth Old Southern Gentleman.” The correspondent of the Chicago Herald alludes as follows to Col.

Curtin and Con- gressman Storm—A White washing Inves- tigation of Harvey’s Past Record. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPatcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 22.—The papers relating to the appointment of O. J. Harvey, the Treasury Department clerk who was, on Wednesday, convicted of forgery and sen- tenced to twelve years’ imprisonment, show that Mr. Randall, under date of March 28, 1885, wrote to Mr. Manning as follows: **I desire to join with ex-Gov. Moyt ot Penn- sylivania and the Hon. R. E. Monaghan of that State, in recommending Mr. O. J. Harvey of Wilkésbarre foraplacein the Treasury De- partment. From what issaid by-Gov. Hoyt and Mr. Monaghan, who both are my personal friends, I have no hesitation in concur- ring in their indorsement of Mr. Harvey. Anything these gentlemen would say in behalf of any One can be relied on,and I feel justified, consequently, in giving my full concurrence in their recommendation.’’ NOT RECOMMENDED BY HOYT. A careful inspection of the papers in the case fail to show any recommendation from Gov. Hoyt. Neither does the index book for the year 1885 show that any letters of any kind were re- ceived from Gov. Hoyt at the Treasury De- partment. R. E. Monaghan from West Ches- ter, Pa.,writing March 25, 1885, says: ‘‘It gives me great pleasure to recommend Mr. Har- vey.’’ He states that he is well satisfied that Harvey is honest, capable and efficient. J. A. McKnight of the law firm of Stenger & McKnight of Chambersburg says that he has known Harvey well and intimately for the last fifteen years. ‘‘He is sober, industrious, hon- est and honorable, and can fill with credit any position. G. R. Kaercher, general solicitor of the Philadelphia & Reading Road, and ex- district attorney of Schuylkill, County gave this letter his cordial approval. Staneley Woodward, judge of the court of Luzerne County, wrote as follows: ‘‘His selection (referring to Harvey) would gratify me and all other friends of the administration.’’ These are all of the gentlemen who appear on record as having indorsed Mr. Harvey’s appointment. There is no writing among the papers bearing the name of Whitelaw Reid or ex-Attorney-General McVeagh. If they rec- ommended his appointment as reported, it must have been done verbally. CURTIN’S PROTEST. It is known that ex-Gov. Curtin and Con- gressman Storm, both Democrats, protested vigorously against Harvey's appointment, al- leging that he was not a Democrat, and de- sides was unfit forthe place. These protests, however, were never reduced to ae No attention was paid tothe objection of Storm or Curtin, but on June 18, 1885, three days af- ter his appointment, E. G. Scott of Wilkes- barre addressed a long letter to the President ———, against Harvey's appointment and ginning with the expression, ‘‘Mr. Manning has been imposed on again.’’ Mr. Scott preferred forma! charges against Harvey, | that he had swindied his creditors in Wilkesbarre, was constantly living beyond his means and had a very bad reputation. Mr. Scotts charges were referred to Collector of Internal Revenue Staples of Wiikesbarre for investigation and report. Mr. Staples evident- ly delayed his reply, for on July 5a letter was received from him which has a singular state- ment. He tells Mr. Manning that since re- ceiving the charges he has had a note from Harvey stating that ‘‘The matter was re- ferred to me (Staples) at the instance of W. E. Smith and himself (Harvey) merely for vindication and not because there was any danger of his Josing his office; that you (Man- ning) had decided not to pay any attention to the charges until Mr. Smith insisted that Har- vey be vindicated. May I trouble you to in- form me whether the above statement is true? It may help me in my investigation. I will investigate as far as I can and report in a few days. * A ‘‘MILD’’ REPUBLICAN. There is nothing to show that Mr. Manning ever replied to this letter. Six days later Staples forwarded his report. There is an effort from beginning to end to create the im- pression that Harvey is more sinned against than sinning, and will reform if he hasa chance at Uncle Sam’s expense. Mr. Staples states that Harvey is a ‘‘miid’’ Republican; that he voted for John Stewart for Governor in 1882, whose candidacy defeated the Repub- lican nominee, Gen. Beaver; that he may Pave voted for Blaine in 1864, dut adds, apologet- ically, ‘‘Ailthough I have no reason for saying that he did.“ Mr. Staples writes also: His business reputation is bad, but even that is not irretrievably bad nor 80 bad that it is to stand in the way of his — kept in the position to which he was appointe or is to be appointed. He then says that Harvey’s bad business reputation was acquired by the habit of running up bills and never paying what he owed his tailor, grocer, baker and what not. In addition to this, Mr. Staples wrote: ‘‘He aid give a number of checks 1— the banks where he did business when he had no funds there to meet them, or not enough to meet them, but I have never found one instance in which he obtained money on such checks. They were always given for debts already contracted, and all or the greater part of them have been paid. I can not think heis dishonest. The charge that he was a defaulter as executor, although nerally believed by the people of this city, nes true, as I have been intormed by J. F. Hand, guardian of his minor brother. I be- lieve that his retention will be satisfactory to the people of Wilkesbarre, nee. This report was accepted asa vindication. On December 15, following, Mr. Scott's commu- nication to the department was received, re- newing his old charges, but it was ignored, as were the verbal ones from Gov. Curtin and Mr. Storm.

Items of Interest Gathered in the Town Across the River. Coroner Woods held an inquest yesterday on the body of R. W. Boyle, the unfortunate brakeman who was accidentally killed night before last by falling from the top of a moving freight train on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad, opposite East Carondelet, and rendered a ver- dict of accidental death, The body was placed in Kurrus’ stables last night, from whence it 2 taken this morning to Millstadt, II., for urial. A male floater was found in the river this morniag at the foot of the East St. Louls ele- vator. From the circumstance of finding his clothing upon the bank, a short distance above the 22 where the body was found, it is naturally concluded that he’ was drowned while bathing. In life the man was apparently 35 years of age, weighing about 16 pounds, five feet ten inches in height and fair complected, with a smooth face. His clothing consisted of a pair of black and white, corded and twisted pantaloons, and a white shirt with the brand of a lion upon the collar. The corpse was placed in Kurrus’ morgue for identification and the Coroner no- tified of the circumstances. Wim. Starkel, the keeper of a saloon oppo- site Heim’s brewery in North Brighton, was arrested again to-day upon the information of the town of East St. Louis, charging him with selling liquor without a license. This is the third or fourth time he has peen arrested for the same offense. East St. Louis authorities claim to have the right to collect the amount of the license, while the corporation of North Brighton as- serts thatthe same is payable to it. It was reed by all the parties that a test case should be made of this last arrest to determine the right of the contending corporations. NOTES.

FERRED TO-DAY. Demurrer Filed by Messrs. Kent and Me ney Claiborne—His Assistant, diction in the Matter. Henry J. Kent sat at the counsel-table holding a demurrer to the return or answer of the Police Board which they desired to, file in behalf of the petitioning citizens, and J. C. McGinnis was a looker-on in the brewing in- terest. In a few minuies L. A. Steber put in an appearance from the Prosecuting- Attor- ney’s office, and Judge Valliant, motions had been disposed of, called up the case, inquiring if the returns had been filed. It was announced thata return or answer had been entered in behalf of the Police Board, and the petitioners had prepared a de- murrer to it. In the case of the Prosecuting- Attorney and his assistant, service had not been obtained upon Mr. Dierkes, and both officers were at present outof thecity. Mr. Dierkes was detained by sickness in his family, and Mr. Claiborne was anxious that the mat- ter should be laid over unfil Mr. Dierkes re- turned. The business of the office was being conducted by Mr. Steber. TheCourt granted the Prose cuting Atto rney and his assistant until Monday week to filea return, and by agreement of counsel 1 ment upon the demurrer to the return of the Police Board will take place te-morrow morn- ing at 100’clock. The demurrer is as follows: THE DEMURRER. ~ The act of 1857 set out in the alternative writ of mandamus and return was and is unconsti- tutional and void, in that it undertook to dele- gate the legislative power of the State to the , the various cities of St. Louis jounty. y A ＋ a of the voters of the city of St. Louis did not, at the election held April 5, 1858, or atany other time, as appears by said writ and return, authorize the corporate authori- ties of sal — to grant the permission re- ferred to in said act of 1857. City Ordinance 4869, contained in said alter- native writ and return, was, as 222 by said writ and return, repealed b ity Ordinance 5421 setoutin said writ and return and as well by the revision of 1866 by the Common Council of said city as set out in said writ and return, which ordinance 5421, being the only ordinance in force, was expressly repealed by the revision of said city ordinance of said city in 1871 as set out in said writ and return, no other provision being made by the said Council with reference to said subject of the sale of wine and beer on Sunday and there * ne ordinance of said city in force March 24, 1885, granting the permission contemplated by said act of 1857, the act of March 24, 1883, be- came operative in the city of St. Louis as well as other parts of the State. The act of the General Assembly of the State, March 24, 1883, set out in said writ and return, repealed all ordinances of the city of St. Louis, which may have been in force incon- sistent and repugnant thereto, and as well said act of 187, and it sufficiently appears from said writ and return that the said ordi- nance 4869 as well as suid act of 1857 were in- consistent with and repugnantto the said act of March 24, 1883. On March 4, 1857,there was in force in every — of the State a general law making it a mis- emeanor for a dramshop-keeper to sell wine and beer on Sunday. The said act of 1857 con- stituted under certain conditions an exception merely to the general law, so that when on March 25, 1887, said act of 1857 was repealed,the general law ofthe State became thereby at once operative in the city of St. Louis, without being expressly revived or re-enacted. The said return does not state facts suffi- — 5 to prevent the issuance of a peremptory writ. Messrs. Kent and McKeighan say that the are ready to proceed with the — an d, though averse to the delay, could not prop- erly oppose it. However, the postponement will not work any delay, as the appeal to be taken from yr Valliant’s decision by one or the other side cannot be argued before next fallin the United States Supreme Court. J.C. Mu NIS who appeared in the Court of Criminal Cor- rection as attorney for the saloon-keepers, looked over the demurrer and with a sniff of scorn asked: ‘‘Why should they flea demur rer and to what?’’ It was suggested the demurrer was tothe answer of the Police Board. That was their own answer. Why do they want to demurr to their own answer? They got together and concocted the petition and the answer. And now they demur to the answer. Well, the demurrer is all right ac- cording to their theory of the case, except one oint—the first. They profess to be attempt- ng to have Judge Noonan’s law reviewed, and in this demurrer ag raise a point that was not before Judge Noonan, that they did not suggest to him and that he did not pass upon—the delegation of power by the Legisla- ture.“ „Shall you take any bart in the argument?“ Ishall ask the Judge to hear me as amicug curiea. If he listens to mel shall talk about the want of jurisdiction in the case. A petition must show on its face that the court in which it is filed has jurisdiction of it. This petition does not. They might as well have fileda pack of cards or a temperance tract.’’ Shall you say anything on other points?“ „may, ifI getthe ear of the Court. It is ory oy for me to say now that I will speak at all.“ What interest will you represent?“ **I shall be simply the friend of the Court?“ RAISED THE WIND. ) How Marcus P. Woodruff Secured $75,000 From a Trust Company. NEW Tonk, July 22.—The New Torx Life Insurance and Trust Company last Monday loaned Marcus P. Woodruff $75,000, and took | as securities thirty-seven shares in the Chem- ical National Bank. It now transpires that the bank stock did not belong to Mr. Wood- ruff, but to the Woodruff estate, of which Mar- cus had been a trustee until a few months 0 when he was compelled to resign by his mother and sisters, who had discovered some irregularities on his part. Woodruff is a little been traced and the possession of the Adams who were to deliver it to a when the check had been lection. This will besaved unless the check is In the hands of innocent parties. The smaller check has not yet been traced. It is claimed that Woodruff is insane. A FOOL IN LUCK. The Startling Antics of George Work and His Horse at Long Branch. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcr. Lone BrancH, July 2.—George A. Work, son of Frank Work, who has been atopping at the Elberon Hotel, undertook yesterday to break the monotony of a dull, rainy day by giving those who did not go to the races an exhibition of horsemanship by riding his horse up six steps and into the West End Hotel par-room, where he and his horse had several drinks er. He then offered to bet $200 tha his horse could jump through the bar-room window without touch- ing the glass, but no one would take the bet, and Geo and his animal went aw in t aha went to the Howland Hotel —— e same an were pert tional beer for the horse.

The Prisoner to Meet His Doom on Novem. ber 1, Unless the Supreme Court He! Him Out—Judge Edwards Passes a tence—Points Relied on for a New Trial A Solemn Scene. K John David Shea, the murderer of Polire Officer Patrick Doran, was sentenced to han in the Criminal Court tbis morning. As — Normile was Acting Circuit-Attorney at the time Shea was convicted, he thought this dis. qualified him from passing sentence on the man and called Judge Edwards of St. Charles toperform this formality. When the Crim. inal Court opened this morning, Judge Nor. mile ascended the bench with Judge Edwurds and introduced the latter to the members ot the bar, stating atthe same time that Judge Edwards would hold court. Shea was then called out and stood at the rail beside his at. torney, Thomas B. Harvey. Mr. Shea,“ began the Judge, ‘‘the records of the court show that you stand convicted of murder in the first degree, and the records also show that after a consideration of all the allegations your counsel have seen fit to make against the verdict, the Court has sustained it and the verdict still stands. Therefore it Only remains for the sentence of death to be Passed upon you. Iam here for that sole purpose, u the request of Judge Normile, who is abso. lutely disqualified by reason of having acteq as Prosecuting-Attorney inthe case. Before the sentence I would ask Fou, Mr, ea, if you have y 1 tence should not. * — N hk asking this, of course I do not mean to have 2 reiterate the points in tne records of the ‘‘Thave not Pig ; 00 cept what ee lly hy Dad ‘ * 1 That being the case, said the Court, ‘‘] shall pass on you that hard, harsh and merol. less sentence which the jury has seen fit to im on you. I shall passit in the form generally used in this court. THE SENIENCE. — was then imposed on Shea as fol. ws: 1 John D. Shea, for your offense of murder in the first decree, as charged in the indict. ment, and in pursuance of the verdict hereto. fore rendered against you, it is considered and adjudged by the Court that you be taken from this place to the place whence you came, ther to remain in custody of the Sheriff until Fr. day, the 9th day of September, 1887, on whic) day you be taken to the usual place of execu. tion in the city of St. Louis, and there, on sai Friday, the 9th day of September, 1887, be. tween the hours of 6 and 11 o’clock in the fore. noon of said day, you be hanged by the neck until you be dead. And may God have mercy on your soul,“ murmured Judge Edwards, as he folded 4 paper from which he had been reading. r. Harvey prayed for an appeal from the — — ofthe Court. He stated that an ap- could not be perfected until sentence was passed, and as Ju 110 Edwards had passed the sentence he must also grant the appeal. THE APPEAL. The appeal was granted, Circuit- Attorney Clover saving an exception to it. It is under- stood that he thinks Shea may have forfeited his * to appeal by leaving the city. Mr. Harvey took an exception to the action of Judge Edwards in sentencing Shea, holding he was notthe proper power to perform the formality. n A STAY. On motion of Mr. Harvey a stay of execution was granted until November 1, to ive the State Supreme Court timeto pass upon the matter. Mr. Harvey wanted an indefinate stay, But Mr. Clover objected to it. The ap- 1 is all ected, and all that remains is orthe clerk of the court to prepare the rec- = and forward it to the State Supreme Shea remained perfectly calm while sen- tence was bein 322 upon him. When the Court concluded he was taken back to jail. THE OBJECTION TO JUDGE EDWARDS. Mr. Harvey’s objection to Judge Edwards — sentence on his client was to save any deneflt there might be in the technicality. There has never been a decision of the State Supreme Court on a case of this kind, and no matter who passed sentence on the defendant his attorney would have saved the exception. The points on which Mr. Harvey hopes to re. verse the case have already been dwelt upon in this paper. One is the separation of the jury, he claiming that the jurors were permit to separate and visit places of business after the testimony had all been in, whichis contrary to law. o also claims that the case does not possess the element of mur- der in the first degree, lacking delibera- tion. He claims it was committed in the heat of passion caused by being struck over the head by an officer with his club. Judge Laughlin held that unless the heat of assion was caused b illed the elements of murderin the first de- ee exist, and there are decisions sustaining ecourton this point. The inton which the defense most rely, and claim to be sure of a reversal on account of decisions lately given by the Supreme Court on the point, is as fol- lows: Shea could not get a change of venue here nor a jury from the county, because it was claimed that neither the Criminal nor Cir- cuit Court had the right to grant the change of venue. Since the Supreme Court has de- cided that the Change of venue law operates the same in St. Louis as in any of the counties of the State. INVESTIGATING THE ALDERMEN.

STRIKING STOP ORDERS. Long Wheat Coming Out—Lower Prices for Wheat and Corn—Ribs Advance. By Telegraph from Jones, McCormicse & Kennett, Chicago, to the POST-DIsPaTcu. CuIcaGo, July 22, 1 p. m.—At times this morning there was guite an active trade in shorts, but most of it was done on the downward course of the market. Wheat opened with rather a steady feeling, but the pressure to sell later was too great for the buying element, and before the decline was stopped a loss of Sc was recorded. At 70 for August there was free selling, but from the character of the trading it was stop-over wheat. It was well taken by shorts, who finally worked the murket up to nearly the opening price in covering. We do not advise the short side of wheat at present prices, but on the other hand the prospect of a substantial advance are very slim. So anticipating Dut a limited range in prices for immediate future, we see littie else but a scalp on either side of the market. The transactions in corn were large, but somewhat less than yesterday. Rains were re- ported from many points, und while there was no rush to sell, the tendency was lower and it closed heavy. Ribs advanced on a higher hog market. Shorts covered guickly. The market was half alive early, Dut became dull later, closing strong on light offerings. Lard was quiet, Closing Prices—1 F. XM. Reported dally »y 8. W COBB&CO.. 317 43 * Chamber of Counmerce.

June ¢ eat, bushels...... g 000 Flour, barrels ....... 5,612 12.571 Wneat— This cereal received no backing from corn, as the latter did not have strength enough to n itself, and there was not another thing bulliton. The export de- mand at the seaboard is no longer heard of, at any rate it does not amount to much, and general advices indicate Europe has been and is selling instead of-buying; the clear- ances, too, have dwindled to small di- mensions and are not now one-half of what new were a week ago; cables were disgust- ingly dull again this morning and Id lower, the fine prospects for their own crops on the other side and the large amounts headed for their sbores, causing Europe to hold off as * buyer, and her markets to weaken; the movement of the new crop in this country shows no diminution, stocks at winter wheat markets are increasing, and reports from the spring wheat section are generally favorable. These seem bearish enough influences, and when it is considered that the old-time bulls are tired out and crippled that these bears who had stopped selling because itis too low, are afraid to buy and more inclined to scalp om the short side, and that the „ buyers were shorts, the long side does look very un- promising. That it looked s0 to the majority of pit traders was shown by the way they kept on selling, the market going off lec on the pressure. From this it partially re- covered, but became weak again, and at close was UNC below yesterday.

This washed away the last fear of damage that may have lingered in some few shorts’ minds, and most ea ae A dampened the enthusiasm the bulls were working up on the idea that the pre- ceding rains did not have enough water to do any good. Local talent as usual took the lead in selling, and they slugged the market with enough stuff to send it off Walze soon after the opening, and after wards year lost We more. There was no re- covery te speak of, and the close was tame and weak. So far no large amount of long stuff has been sold on this break and the country still holds on, though dribbling some out occasionaliy. The city is still do- ing the bulk of the selling. Spot grades were still quiet with no demand ex cept a small one from the order and local trade. White grades continue firm, as they are scarce, but the others were easier.

The weakness of the foreign market, and the general apathy of the trade, was also the cause of weakness. The dispo- sition of the crowd was toward selling the deferred futures for the carrying charges. August opened eeuc lower than the close yesterday at 70%c, and other futures were weuk in proportion.

THE ANTI-POVERTY SOCIETY. Dr. McGlynn Makes a Rousing Political Speech and Answers Questions. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Arc. New Tonk, July 22.—Cheers and waving of hats and handkerchiefs greeted Dr. McGlynn’s announcement at Irving Hall last night, that the Anti-Poverty Society would have a candi- date of itsown in the field at the next Presi- dential election. He made the announcement at the business meeting of the society. He was making aspeechin answer to the question, which he said was being continually asked, in spite of the fact that he had answered it hun- dreds of times already: ‘‘How does the — Poverty Society propose to abolish poverty: He said: ‘‘How are we going to do it? None so blind as those who will not see. We are going to do it by talking to the voters, by persuading the voters to accept our ideas, by electing an anti-poverty majority to the Legis- lature and to Congress. In every future ac- tion we are to nominate a candidate of our own, pledged to carry our platform or princi- The audience cheered itself hoarse when Dr. MeGlynn said the labor party with its anti- poverty principles would make no compro- mises with any other political party, but would nominate absolutely independent United La- bor candidates for every elective office. ; A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT. Then he said: ‘‘We will have a candidate for President. „He will be Dr. McGlynn,’’ shouted an ex- cited anti-pauper, jumping out of his seat and waving his hat. It was the signal that set the audience wild fortwo minutes. Dr. McGlynn went ahead with his speech in the uproar. „Even if we are not successful every time in nominating winning men,’’ said the doctor, „the mere nominating will give us an ex- cellent excuse for stumping the country. And until we get a chance at successI don’t know but we will enjoy defeat as much as victory, for even in a defeat there will be a great moral victory, such a moral victory as there was in the last election. The labor party is more anxious for the triumph of its princi- les than for a chance at the spoils. t says: ‘Let whosoever will, occupy the office so long as he can make laws.’ This, with the execution of our fundamental re- form of taxing the land only, is, I believe,a very practical answer tothe question, ‘What practical solution does the Anti-Poverty So- ciety offer for the abolition of poverty?’ When all taxes on all land are abolished, people will have plenty of chances to work, because no man will be foolenough to pay taxes on un- improved land, but will simply employ men to improve it. With plenty of work for them to do the people who cannot then abolish their poverty had better die. THE CANVASS. The Executive Committee was instructed to prepare liste of the society members and send them to the chairman oi tne various assembly districts of the United Labor party, to be used in the selection of trusty men to work for the anti-poverty cause when election time comes again. Dr. McGlynn also announced that the Executive Committee had determined to ask each of the anti-poverty members to constitute him or herself a recruiting officer and bring in four members. The doctor said that he pledged himself to set the example first. Treasurer Turner reported that since the organization of the society, fourteen weeks ugo, the receipts had been „067.40, and the expenses $4,974.40. The society had now in —5 bank to its credit $75.21 and cash in hand 17.60. 1,252. The membership of the society is now A REMARKABLE PHENOMENON. The Wonderful Aerolite Picked Up by Dr. beyers at Clayton, Ga. CLAYTON, Ga., July 22.—A phenomenon un- paralleled in the annals of astronomical sci- ence occurred here one day last week, which, from the light it throws upon the hitherto open question of the habitability of the other planets, will prove of great vaiue to science. At 7:45 o’clock p. m. there fell near this town a spherical metal ball, or aerolite, on the surface of which appear graven charac- ters, which give conclusive evidence of its having been molded by intelligent bands. Dr. Seyers, in whose possession the wonder now is, said last evening: ‘‘I was returning from a patient’s house some miles from the town, where I had spent the latter part of the after- noon. I was ascending a long hill when my horse suddenly pricked up his ears, and on — ahead my eyes were dazzled by a rilliant white flash resembling a lightning stroke, and immediately tollowing came a sharp sound, as of escaping steam. I knew that an aerolite had tallen, for had the flash been electrical there would have been a clap of thunder. Driving on up the hill I noticed that steam was issuing from the ground some few rods back from the road, and on hastening to the spot found a hole about four inches in diameter, from which arose considerable heated vapor. I drove home as rapidly as possible, and taking a ey and shovel returned to the spot. After alf an hour’s hard digging, Icame upon the object of my search atadepth of about five feet. It was still TOO HOT TO HANDLE, but I succeeded in getting it to my carriage by lifting it on my shovel. I noticed that it was remarkably heavy, but not until I reached my barn and removed the adhering soil did I realize what a prize Inad. Instead of a rough mass of meteoric iron there appeared a smooth, perfect sphere of steel- blue metal with polished surface and engraved with ictures and writ- ings. ‘There, upon the surface of the strange ball, was a deeply graven circle within which was a four-pointed star, a representa- tion of a <A yn — resembling in a measure our extinct archwopteryx, and a great num- ber of smaller figures, resembling those used in modern short-hand. The metal of which the ball was composed was unlike anything I had ever seen, being about as hard as copper and entirely infusible in my dunsen biow- — I filed off some small bits and sent rn who made the following report: k—I have made a spectroscopic analysis of the filings you sent. he metal is fusibie only in the electric arc. It is anew element. Ex amined by the spectroscope, its vapor gives three fine yellow lines to the left ofthe D line of sodium; a broad green one to the right of the line of barium, and an innumerable number of very fine 1 ae ones. „ RANDOLPH STEVENS. Analytical Chemist. The ball ie nowin the possession of Dr. rs, but will be sent to the Smithsonian In- stitution in asbort time, when an official re- port will be made. “Biood Will Tell.’’ Yes, the old adage Is right, but if the liver is disordered and the blood becomes thereby corrupted, the bad blood will tell’’ in dis- eases of the skin and throat, in tumors and ulcers, and in tubercles in the lungs (first stages of consumption) even although the sub- ject be descended in a straight line from Rich- aps Gast de Lion or the noblest Roman of emall. For setting the liver in order no other medicine in the world equals Dr.Pierce’s „„Golden Medical Discovery. Try it, and our blood will tell’’ the story of ita wonder- ul efficacy. North St. Louis.

FURTHER PARTICULARS ABOUT THE BIG FEATHER-WEIGHT FIGHT. The Battle One of the Most Brutal Affairs on Record—Scenes Which Sickened the Old- est Followers of the Ring—Pugilism in England—Preparatiens for the Hanlan- Gaudaur Boat Race To-Morrow at Pull- man—Sporting News and Base Ball Clips and Chips. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. New Lokk, July 22.—The prize-ring battle between Isaac O’Neill Weir, the Belfast Spider, and Jack Havlin of Boston, was no doubt one of the most brutal, vicious and des- perately contested that ever took place. The fight will be recorded in the annals of prize-fighting lore as the longest ever fought by light-weights in the Eastern States, and it was assuredly the most punishing contest ever witnessed. Both men proved themselves game beyond doubt and perfect gluttons for punishment. Weir showed that he is the greatest general and best ring tactician of his weight, and Havlin proved that his friends were right in their judgment of his gameness. The battle wasthe outgrowth of a quarrel between Weir and his old backer, Ned Holske, the latter declaring that he would find a man to whip the Spider, and selecting Havlin to do the job. Havlin is a comparative novice as bare knuckle or skin-tight glove fighting, but he had shown up so well in small glove con- tests as to warrantthe belief that he would prove a hard man for Weir to whip. That the trust in him was not misplaced is apparent from the fact that he compelled the ‘‘Spider’’ to agree to a draw AFTER FIGHTING SIXTY-ONE ROUNDS in four hours seven minutes. He moreover steps to the front, as by his standing off Weir in that long battle he compelled the Belfast lad to do so much damage to himself that it will possibly prove the ‘‘Spider’s’’ last bat - tle. Indeed, at breakfast yesterday morning Weir told a PostT-DISPATCH correspondent: Both my hands are broken, and I'll not be able to fight again. When the fight was ar- ranged the referee, Jim Colville of Boston, se- lected a Providence theatrical manager to choose the battle-ground, This was a spot a short distance from Providence, the ring being pitched on the same piece of turf that Jack Ashton whipped Frank Bosworth on. Thatfact became known early on Wednesday and by night-fall Mitchell’s and Kennedy’s road- houses were crowded with sporting men from all over the country. vied A the ill-feeling that Holske beurs toward Weir the latter was timid about fighting near Providence, the more so as it was said that the Rocky Point ang’’ would have the ‘‘Spider’’ whipped. reir said, however: If lamto be whipped I'll stand it; I’llshow them Jam not afraid, and if a gang does me up Havlin will not have any credit.’’ ' It was the intention to 1 by daylight, but it was after dark before the principals were ready. They were toscale five hours before the battle and weigh less than 118 pounds. The Spider“ weighed 117% pounds ‘and Hav- lin 118. Weir was seconded by Dave Gilles and Billy Mahoney. Jim McKeon looked out for danger in Weir’s corner. His gun was ready for the first man who made ‘‘a break.’’ Haviin was seconded by T. F. O’Rourke and Jack Ashton. Weir is 20 years old, 5 feet 112 inches tall, and slender, but muscular. Havlin is square-shouidered and shbort-armed. He stood 5 feet 6 inches tall and is 29 years old. Weir had not trained taithfully,: but Havlin’s condition was excellent. The battle was fought in an 18-foot ring and surrounded by trees, six large lamps illuminating the arena. The crowd numbered 200. If there were any intentions of doing“ the ‘‘Spider’’ up they were pre- vented by the bold and 8 appeal to the crowd's sense of justice by Referee Colville, who said: ‘‘I know all here, and the first man who cuts a rope is marked. If he is a friend of Havlin’sI will give the fight to the ‘Spider,’ and if he is the ‘Spider’s’ friend avlin Wins.“ Then the men entered the ring. The crowd got ready for the fray. Those nearest the ropes sat down in the soft clay and those in the rear looked overthem. Queensbe rules were not ad- hered to strictly, and Gilles sat in Weir’s corner and Ashton sat in Havlin’s. As was shown in the PoOstT- DISPATCH N the fight was in favor of the Spider, for the first twenty rounds Havlin being terribly dis- figured. His head was battered out of shape; his face was broad aud flat; his nose was spread all over his face; his left eye was closed, and his right eye was only prevented from closing by Ashton who lanced it at the end of each round and sucked the blood from it. It was perfectly disgusting, and old ring- goers TURNED FROM THE SIGHT and drowned the sight with copious draughts of corn juice. Butthe punishment of Havlin was nothing tothat of Weir. The latter was battered in a terrible manner about the ribs, the skin being peeied off his ribs in sheets so thatthe blood flowed down his legs. More- over he had broken the knuckle of the second finger of his left hand and third knuckle of his right hand in the thirteenth round. Then although Havlin was almost a beaten man eir was not able to finish him although he made a gallant effort and almost succeeded in the forty-second round, which was the most terrific of the battle. But after that so bad were the ‘‘Spider’s’’ hands that he was obliged to ‘‘heel’’ his man. Very little fighting was indulged in from that time to the finish, the ‘‘Spider’’ being unable to hit and waiting for Havlin to become stone blind so that he could finish him. There was no white blood-in e, however, nor in Jack, and finally it was d&cided to declare the fight a draw. nock-downs were obtained b Weir in the third, sixth and forty-sevent rounds and Haviin delivered knock down blows to Weir in the third, thirteenth and for- ty-lirst rounds. In the latter Weir was al- most knocked out, being unable to rise for eight seconds. Both fell from weakness and in clinches together many times, but Weir was on top generally. Remembrances ofthe bat- tle are sickening. It was the most terrific light seen for many years. — - ~~ bP —_ —_ PUGS IN ENGLAND. Charley Mitchell Raises a Breeze Acress the Water. Charlie Mitchell's letter to the Sporting Life of London has stirred up quite a breeze among the Englishmen who are ventilating their minds in the columns of the above paper. Says one of them: ‘‘I cafinot allow Charlie Mitchell's letter which appeared in the Sporting Life of Monday last to pass with- out making afew remarks in reference to its contents. In the first place, that such a letter should have been published justas a match for the championship of the world is about to be made is, I think, badform. No doubt the writer has his own personal reason for it. The assertion in reference to his having told Smith that he should steer clear of Kilrain or any other man is untrue, and Smith is not the man to wish such a thing. Smith's intention was, upon going to America, to meet the best men in that country, and not to steer clear of any one, and, as a probt ot that, he is now about to be matched to meet the best man (according to Mitcheli’s letter) in America. Jem Smith is the undoubted champion of England, and it ia his ambition to be champion of the world, and his earnest wish is to * that proud title by a fair stand- up fight with bare knuckles in a twenty-four foot ring, in accordance with the rules of the prize ring, not an artificial four or six-round love contest. Mitchell also states that his riend Kilrain (who, by-the-by, he now styles a straightforward gentleman) defeated all the best men in America. is the case he must have beaten Mitchell, so he cannot say that he never has been defeated. In conclusion, I wish to aud that it has always been the sincere intention of Jem Smith and his backers to have fair lay, and the latter have so much confidence n their man that the desire- nothing else. Smith has had more than his share of foul lay, 80 that he is now most eager for the ime to come when, all the rough element be- ing excluded, he will be enabled to give his backers and the British pubiic a proof of his abilities. Smith wishes me to say that all he wants is a fair fight, and the best man to win, an expression w ich I heartily indorse.’’ Another hits it up to this tune: I think Mitchell does not know so much about Kilrain as my son Jem Goode, who boxed six ruvunds with Kilrain at Boston for a money prize, Kil- ref- draw. Eight months afterward they met “aie in Chicago. The friends of Kilrain 6 said he had improved very much, yet again the referee decided the —— a draw. Jem thinks he performed better with Kilrain on the second occasion than the first, and either Bill or Jem Good is willing to have a bout with him, Queensberry rules, for a purse, if the business can be arranged. Johnston Beaten. Harry Wilkes and Johnston, the pacer, raced yesterday at Detroit for a purse of $6,000, three out of five. Johnston was driven to wagon and Wilkes in harness. Wilkes won — 1 three heats and Johnston the two first eats. Hanover Wins. In the Barnegat Stakes yesterday at Mon- mouth, derby distance, Hanover beat Miss Ford and Kingdom as he liked. Only once did the Baldwin representative draw near to Hanover, and she was then left as at a stand- still. Hanover won by five lengths. The time was 2:44. Brown and Baldwin. It is a rare thing to see two turfmen willing to give each other the utmost satisfaction, but we have the spectacle in Lucky Baldwin, the California millionaire, and Capt. Sam Brown, the Pittsburg millionaire, says „Black and Blue. Mr. Brown having caused his horse, Troubadour, to defeat Mr. Cassatt’s colt, The Bard, went in great lee to his home in Pennsylvania an sent for all the reporters in town. He vowed to them that his eat ambition in life would be fulfilled whén he saw his horse Troubadour defeat Mr. Baldwin’s California crack and champion, Volante. Now comes Mr. Baldwin, and he too speaks through the interviewing process. He says be will race Volante against Troubadour, and says he would like to have, Hanover and The Bard thrown in just to make Volante thoroughly extend himself. With his characteristic shrewdness Mr. Baldwin suggests that the race be run at Sheepshead Bay, where the track is nearly as hard as a billiard table. This of course would mean ruin to the crippled feet of Troubadour. Capt. Brown is a pretty shrewd gentleman, too, and I fancy he will be content to have Troubadour meet Volante on the sandy soil of Monmouth in the Champion Stakes. The Bard will be on hand and Capt. Brown will have a little the best of it, because the track suits Troubadour better than it suits The Bard or Volante. Some One Should Buy Ormonde. Why does not some enterprising patriot on this side of the water go to the Duke of West- minster and buyfrom him Ormonde? asks a New York paper. Ormonde is generally re- garded in England as the greatest horse that ever trod the turf. He is a grand bay, 16.1, with superb legs and feet, and a galloper of unexampled speed, power, and style, and un- beaten, and by the recent mails we learn that he is finally to cease racing. Owing to an accident he became a roarer, and therefore is really unfit for racing pur- poses, although his supreme excellence has always enabled him to beat the best horses that could be sent against him. The get of a roarer are not necessarily roar- ers too, although a suspicion has always attached to them in Engiand. But in this climate, where such a thing as roaring hardly exists, there wouid be no taint on Ormonde's name, and he would be unimpaired in value in the American stud. The Duke is known as arich man, and might not wish to part with his favorite, but he has lately been repre- sented as having met with reverses. He him- self confessed recently to Mrs. Gladstone that he sold Millais’ portrait of Gladstone because he was too poor to keepit. A good offer for Ormonde might come in very handily. The Duke is also represented as u man of good commen sense, and a true horse-lover like him should easily sumbit to the irrefutable argument that a roarer would receive much greater justice and would be of greater use for the improvement of the breed of horses in the climate of this country than in that of England. It this plea were presented to His Grace, with a solid, very solid, backing of cash, which is rarely amiss, we would probably get Orm nde, and the infusion of his blood in this country migbt mark a greater epoch in the racing world than it has ever yet known. Try the Duke, somebody. — — JAKE AND NED. Something About Their Contest of Speed To-Morrow Afternoon. From the Chicago Inter Ocean. It was nearly 6 o’clock in the afternoon when a representative of the Inter Ocean stepped upon the float in front of the little boat-house of the Pullman Club at Pullman yesterduy, and the scene that met his eye was one that only the brush of an artist could do justice to. Across the slightly ruffled bosom of Lake Calumet the sun and shadows drifted in alter- nating layers of brown and gold, while the tall reeds that peeped above the surface of the water swayed beneath the touch of the summer wind and vibrated like the strings of a harp. Away off in the distance so far indeed that it looked like a mere speck upon the waters, a light shell might be noticed darting like an arrow across thé troubled waters, while faraway in the opposite direc- tionarow boat containin two fishermen rolled lazily this way and then that with the waves. About the boat-house shells of all kinds and sizes hung suspended from the ceilings, while gigs and barges were laid carefully upon the floors side by side. The far away speck up- on the waters was Edward Hanlan, the once champion oarsman of the world, before whose prowess the mightiest men of brawn and muscle in all England had lowered their colors, and as he came nearer one could see that he sti]] re- tained the same graceful stvle of rowing that had so pieased the lovers of aquatics both in this country and abroad, though he seemed somehow to have lostthe motive power that in the days of his old-time glory seemed to tairly lift his shell from the water at every stroke. In condition Hanlan certainly is, and should he lose his race with Gaudaur on Sat- urday he can surely have no excuse to offer. He is still rowingin the same shell that he used in his last race, but is expecting a new one from the East to-day, it having been shipped from Boston on Tuesday morning. Gaudaur and his trainer, Fred Plaisted, were already in from their afternoon row, and were found sitting on tie pleasant veranda of the Hotel Florence. Fred is the same happy-go- lucky fellow that he wasin the days when he made Chicago his stamping ground, although he is fast nearing the sere and yellow leaf of bis existence. In Gaudaur he thinks that he has the greatest oarsman America has yet pro- duced, and regarding the coming race he says: **Gaudaur is in first-class shape and will bave no excuse to make should he be beaten this time by Hanlan.

Bury me in Cincinnati.’’ There were several singular features in the results ot Tuesday’s League games. Every one isan even number; every one was either two ora multiple of two. Each losing club made two runs, Of the winners Pittsburg made twice as many runs as any es club, New York three times as many an Philadelphia six times as many. New York made as many runs asiall the losing clubs combined and Philadelphia just twice as many as all the losing clubs combined, or as many as all the losing clubs combined with New York added. The total numberof runs made at Philadelphia was the same as the total num- ber made at the same place in 8 game, while the total at New York was the same as was the total at Washington on Satur- day. The losing clubs made only halfas many runs as the losing clubs on Saturday. These comparisons might be carried out ad infin- itum.—[ Boston Globe. President Stearns gave utterance to an im- portant opinion afew days ago. It was tothe effect that the Detroit Club would not tolerate the unjust guarantee system another year. The club will come out even the present sea- son, sald Mr. Stearns. But we don’t pro- pose to maintain a first-class club simply for glory. Everything pointsto the probability that the American Association will return to the percentage system next season, and unless the League does so I am of the belief that three League clubs will go to the Association. Von der Ahe can’t stand the guarantee busi- ness. It is ridiculous on its face. Clubs like the Browns and Detroits go. East and draw from $65,000 to $10,000 into the treasuries of the Eastern clubs, and receive a beggarly $65 or $123 per game. I think the best way out of the difficulty would be the one-league plan. It would be a big stride in advance.’’ The magnate of the St. Louis Club, Chris Von der Ahe, is looking well at present. Yes- terday he stated that he was glad to learn that the visit to St. Louis bythe Baltimore Club was such a pleasant one, and that he would always try to make it so. His club, he thought, was doing excellent work, but they badly needed the services of Bushong. Boyle, so far, has been catching an excellent game, but he needs rest. All the members of the team except Bushong and Sylvester are on the trip, but the chances are that, since Comiskay is laid up with the toothache, Sylvester will be sent for and placed on {first base. President Von der Abe further said he considered Baltimore the best draw- ing card in the American Association, and hoped they would come in second, anyhow. They have good chances of doing this, said he, ‘‘if their pitchers will only hold out, which Ithink they will. It is not true thatI said I would like to see Cincinnati get the place, and ulso that we gave them games. I have never intimated such a thing: and about the games well, Cincinnati outplayed us, that’s all. In speaking of the Wiman- Detroit deal, Mr. Von der Ahe thought the club would bein the As- sociation next year, as Mr. Wiman had al- ready asked his opinion regarding a deal of this kind. He said he was in favor of having the percentage system in a few towns, but no in all of them.—[ Baltimore American. LOCAL NEWS.
