Gov. Foraker, Present Incum- bent, Renominated Without Any Opposition. The Usual Arraignment of the Democratic Party in the Platform—A Protective Tariff, Restriction of Pauper Immigration and Pensions for Soldiers Demanded— The Foraker Administration Indorsed— Capt. Lyons Nominated for Lieutenant- Governor and Judges Spear and Dick- man for the Supreme Bench—Sherman’s Speech. TOLEDO, O., July 28.—The Republican State Oonvention was called to order at 10 o’clock by Temporary Chairman Ryan. The Commit- tee on Credentials and Rules reported, which was adopted, and ex-Gov. Charles Foster, Chairman ofthe Committee on Resolutions, read the platform, which was as follows: THE PLATFORM. The Republican party in convention assem- blea submits to the 5 of Ohio the follow- ing declaration of its principles: PROTECTIVE TARIFF. 1. We are in favor of a protective tariff to secure to American citizens the privilege of supplying every article which can be pro- duced as well in the United States as in other countries and sufficiently to supply American wants. Such a tariff makes a de- mand for and gives employment to the labor of American citizens, and thereby aids in se- curing just compensation for labor. We de- nounce the Ohio Democratic platform of a tariff for revenue only, and which demands an indiscriminate reduction in all duties on imported articles, the effect of which would be to encourage importations, thus giving American patronage to foreign producers and foreign labor rather than to our own. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. 2. While we adhere to the public policy under which our country has received from Europe great bodies of honest, industrious citizens, who have added to the wealth, prog- ress and power of our country, and while we welcome to our shores the well disposed and industrious immigrant, who contributes by his energy and intelligence to the cause of free government, we view with alarm unrestricted immigration from r lands as dangerous to the peace an 2 order of the country and the integrity and character of its or pe We urge Congress to pass such laws and estab- lish such regulations as shall protect us from the inroad of the anarchist, the communist, the polygamist, fugitive from justice, the in- sane, the dependent paupers, the vicious and criminal classes, contract labor in every form, under any name or guise, and all others, who seek our shores, not to become a part of our civilization and citizenship, who ac- knowledge no allegiance to our laws, no sym- pathy with our aims and institutions, but who come among us to make war upon society, to diminish the dignity and rewards of Amer can working men and degrade ou labor to their level. Against all these our gates should ——ů— But while favoring every honor able and practicabie measure to protect Amer- ican labor against the evil effects of foreign immigration and competition, we recognize also the dangers which menace it at home and condemn as hostile to its cause and as subver- sive of ite dignity and power, the bold and — — usurpation in many ot the States of ts political rights and privileges. The condi- tion of the men who labor in the North cannot be maintained or improved so long as the men who labor in the South are wrongfully deprived of the rights and powers of American citizenship. Their labor meets in close and immediate competition, and neither can be —— without striking at the prosperity and independence of the other. Recognizing these plain truths we demand a free ballot and a fair count in all sections of our country. We demand it, and will ever demand it as the only source of justice to the real producers of prosperity and wealth and the sole security of the Republic and its free institutions. DEAD WAR ISSUES. 3. We deprecate national strife and divis- ions. We have placed the war with its hates and revenges bebind us; but the settlements of the war must stand irrevocable—respected, honored and observed in every part of the Republic. More we have never demanded; less, we willnot have. Congress should ex- ercise its Constitutional authority and take sentatives to Congress. DUTY ON WOOL. 4. We demand such duties on wool and man- ufactures thereof as will secure the American market to American producers. We denounce the demand made under President Cleveland’s administration by the Secretary of the Treas- ury, in bis annual report of December 6, 1886, for the ‘‘immediate passage of an act placing raw wool upon the free list,’’ and we denounce the Democratic State platform which ‘‘proclaims its hearty and unqualified indorsement’’ of said Administration, and de- mands a ‘‘reduction of the present’’ duties on wooland woolen and worsted goods. Such reduction would destroy the wool-growin and woolen manufacturing industries, woul invite large — 2 break down American competition an to foreign producers who would ultimately demand exorbitant prices. We earnestly protest against the decisions of the Secretary of the Treasury in customs cases in the inter- est of the foreign producer and foreign labor, as in opposition to the letter and spirit of the tariff laws. PENSIONS. 5. We favor liberal pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the Union, adequate appropria- tions for the improvement of our National waterways and National aid to education. If too much revenue be collected to meet these and other public needs, we demand that the first step in the reduction thereof shall be the abolition ofthe internaltax upon American grown tobacco. THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. 6. The public lands of the United States tions and non-resident aliens should be rigidly enforced. THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW. 7. While wecondemn the false pretenses of HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. 8. The Republican party has ever been the sympathy to Gladstone, PENSION VETORS DENOUNCED. 9.

THE PATENT LAWS. 10, While favoring all proper legislation to secure patentees in their just rights to their inventions, we ask such legislation by Con- 88 a6 Will provide that the holder of a patent shall have no right of action for its infringe- ment when, knowing that persons are inno- cently and in good faith using it, without knowledge of the existence of the patent, he fails to give notice ot his claim. THE STATE ADMINISTRATION INDORSED. 11. We heartily indorse the administration of Gov. Foraker as wise, prudent, firm and eco- nomical; and we do especially endorse and approve his patriotic declaration that no rebel flags shall be surrendered while Be is Gover- nor; and we further indorse and approve his present action in instituting restraining meas- ures to prevent the unlawful order of Presi- dent Cleveland from being executed. THE DEMOCRATS ARRAIGNED. 12. The frauds, forgeries and crimes com- mitted by the Democratic party in Ohio in the election for State officers and members of the General Assembly in 1885 deserve the con- demnation and execration of all honorable men; and we hereby commen‘ and indorse the action of the Sixty-seventh General Assembly in a the consummation of these crimes and in enacting registration laws applicable to the great cities of the State, whereby their repetition has been rendered impossible. We further indorse and com- mend the action of the late Republican Legis- lature inthe provisions made by it for the es- tablishment of a home for disabled soldiers and sallors, and for the levying of taxes by the commissioners of the several counties for the support and maintenance of the indigent soldiers and sailors and their widows and children. THE DOW LIQUOR LAW. 18. We point with just pride to the enact- ment of the Dow lawin fulfillment of the promises of the Republican party, and we pledge ourselves to such further legislation as may be necessary to keep abreast with en- lightened public sentiment on this question to the end that the evils resulting from the traffic in intoxicating liquors be restrained to the ut- most possible extent in ail parts of the State. AGAINST RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION. 14. We favor such legislation as will secure to the agricultural, commercial and indus- trial interests of the State, equally without discrimination in favor of any citizen or cor- poration, the denefits of transportation by all common Carriers atthe lowest rates consist- ent with justice, and that the water ways of the State should be maintained and improved so as to secure to the people the full benefits thereof. THE SHERMAN INDORSEMENT. 15. Recognizing, as the Republicans of Ohio always have, the gifted and tried statesmen of the Republican party ot other States, loyal and unfaltering in their devotion to the suc- cess of the organization in 1888, under what- ever standard-bearer the Republican National Convention may select, they have just pridein the record and career of John Sherman asa member of the Republican party and as a statesman ofjabllity, large experience and great caution. His careerasa statesman began with the birth of the Republican party ; he has grown and developed with the growth of that orzan- ization; his genius and patriotism are stamped upon the records of the party and the statutes and Constitution of the country, and believ- ing that his nomination for the office of Presi- dent would be wise and judicious, we respect- fully present his nametothe people of the United Statesasa candidate, and announce = hearty and cordial support of him for that office. THE PLATFORM ADOPTED. The tariff plank was received with lond cheers and all received more or less applause. When the indorsement of Gov. Foraker’s ad- ministration was reached, the convention cheered as one man, many rising to their feet and swinging hats, etc. The rebel flag clause evlved the demonstration. When the lastgedolution, the famous Sherman indorse- ment was reached, the cheering broke out, and on call from a delegate three cheers were given for Sherman before the reading could continue. Its close was marked by a loud cheer. A motion was made to adopt the whole platform by acclamation. It was done unanimously without a dissenting vote. Cheering followed and loud calls were made for Sherman. Sherman did notappear and the report of the Committee on Permanent Organization was read and adopted. Hon. John Sherman was made Permanent Chairman. A commit- tee of three was appointed to conduct Mr. Sherman tothe chair. The convention was in a good humor, being jubilant over the extinc- tion of the opposition of the indorsement res- olution, and cheered Senator Sherman as he took the platform. His speech was listened to with closest attention. It was as follows: SHERMAN’S SPEECH. The Senator thanked the convention for the honor of presiding officer, and congratulated the members upon the encouraging prospects for Republicanism in the State and nation. He eulogized Foraker, and declared the latter de- served both his popularity and his renomina- tion, as he has fairly earned both. He suid: ‘‘More than that, he has pre- vented a Democratic President from surrendering to the Confederates the flags and banners they lost inthe rebellion.’’ He re- viewed the work of the late Republican Legis- lature and commended it highly, and then discussed State questions at some length. He commended the platform, especially the tariff, pauper labor and imported labor planks, and emphasized the demand in the latform for fairer Congressional elections. he Senator closed by thanking, in a most heart-felt manner the convention, ‘*‘T know this is a matter of sentiment.

Sherman unquestionably has the following in Ohio sufficient to defeat the Re- ublican party if his friends remain away om the polls. Gov. Foraker has am- bition for the Vice-Presidenc course, he should be defeated this fall it would blast his —— in that direction. To win the Republicans must stand togetherand noone knows that better than Sherman. The situation is about this: Sherman has notified the Blaine and Foraker men that they must support the resolution indorsing his Presidential aspirations or take the chances of losing the State this fall. The risk would certainly be considered to arouse Sherman’s hostility, and for that reason I be- lieve Sherman will be formally indorsed this yor, and next year the Ohio delegates will be or Blaine or for some other man. The Blaine Defeat. NEw York, July 28.—The Evening Post says: The Blaine faction in Ohio have been pretty effectually extinguished for the time being by the Toledo convention. Itisnow almost cer- tain that Lilinois and Indiana will follow Ohio. The voice of the latter State will be heard and listened to in the South, Mr. Sherman has won a notable victory and it will be well for Mr. Blaine to turn his steps homeward without delay if he would counteract the wave that the Toledo convention started yesterday.’’ The Post then quotés Gen. Beatty’s article in the Toledo Bee and says: It only needs a few men in each State with equal plainness of speech to send the blatherskites to the rear and to restore Republican leadership to the sober- minded and thoughtful statesmen who yet re- main. This is what has been accomplished at Toledo and we cannot fail to congratulate the party on the moral improvement which it im- plies. While the convention-of this year does not stop the State from declaring for Blaine next year, it renders that event highly im- probable,’’ and, of IN TEXAS. St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas Railway Ex tensions—Cotton aud Cattle. John W. Phillips, General Attorney of the St. Louis, Arkansas & Texas Railway, re- turned this morning from a trip over the road. He is as enthuslastio as ever over the Cotton Belt Line’s future. We are building a great deal of new road in Texas, he said, and on last Tuesday laid the last rail on aline from Mount Pleasant to Sherman, 110 miles. Contractors are grading a road for us from a point on this line to Fort Worth, 100 miles, and the road-bed is ready for the rails from Hillsboro to Oorsicana. hese will be valuable feeders as they —— through magnit- loent cotton country. The cotton all through Texas is growing finely. The planters want one more rain to make this season the biggest they ever had. In addition to cotton, our road has recently begun to move anew kind of freight forit. Since the Ist of May, we have moved 1,000 cars of cattle from Texas to Chicago. Previous tothe be- ginning we hardly moved a car. We have transferred at Cairo to the Illinois Central, and there has been the one draw back. The Illinois Central cars are not as large as ours. The trains have been run on passenger schedule to make the feeding points. I was at Corsi- cana the other day when forty-two cars of cattle came in, and in spite of the hot compe- tition for them we got thirty-two cars. ‘*The lumber interests are being developed along our line and mills are being built all along it south from Poplar Bluff through the pine country. When saw-mill men went in there first they didn’t understand what was tbe right thing for them to do. They ripped up the logs into slabs and shipped to St. Louis green. fhen the inspector went through the shipment he generally threw out half, and frequently the mill man would come out in debt. Jack Richardson and other St. Louls commission men have been instrumental in bringing about a change. Richardson, I think, was the first. Hetold them he would not handle their green lumber, induced them to build drying kilns and buy planers. Now every mill has its kiln and planer. The logs are cut up, putin the kilos and dried with a fire of the refuse. The planks are planed and flooring is tongued and grooved. There is one firm I know of—one of the first to do this—that did not invest originally more than $5,000. That was not over three years ago. They now own property worth $50,000 and have no debts. „»The Railroad Company recently acquired control of a line which will be completed from Tyler into the great pineries on Sabine River. This is the most marvelous pine country in the world, and itis almost entirely unde- veloped. Cameron of Waco, told me the other day that he owned 23,000 acres in that section, and he would cut from it 20,000 feet to anacre. Isn’t that better than Granite Moun- tain stock?’’ „When will the St. Louls, Arkansas & Texas be built into St. Louis?“ That is an open question. It may never be built in. The cost of coming into St. Louis would beenormous. It would cost $3,000,000 to bring the road up to St. Louis and then the getting into the city’’——Mr. 24 paused. „Will the bridge at Grand Tower be built?“ ‘‘I tihnk it will. We can cross the river and come into East St. Louis over the Cairo Short Line on good terms. Parker's road stands ready to reach Grand Tower as soon as we do. Then we can go into Chicago and come to St. Louis as well. The larger part of the business is for eastern shipment and while we would be at a disadvantage in competition with the Iron Mountain and the Missouri Pacific on St. Louis business, because of the bridge. that would be equalized on through business. Some day I fear St. Louis will wake up to the fact that the road has gone to Chicago. MUST PAY UP. Kansas City to Enforce Taxes on Railroad Property. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dtsr Aron. KaNSAS City, Mo., July 28.—E. A. Andrews, attorney for the County Court, has prepared a report upon the taxation of railroad property in the city and county, which he will submit to that body. He charges flagrant violations of the law on the part of the railroads. In the document Mr. Andrews sets forth that the rail- road companies have 93 miles of switches within the city limits, upon which they have never paid one cent of tax. One company, which owns thirteen acres of land in the west bottoms, worth $650,000, has also esca tax- ation. When assessed bythe city the com- panies have fought the payment of the taxes, and the State and United States Courts have sustained them, deciding thatarailroad can only be assessed on its main line and 100 feet right of way. Mr. Andrews says that some of these results are due to an intentional violation of the law on the part of the railroads. They are commanded by law to furnish the same reports to the State Au- ditor and the County Assessor. Though re- peatedly asked todo so by county officials, they have refused to tissue a duplicate report to the County Assessor. One statement in the report is especially a strong one, and is that all parties seemed to have worked together harmoniously and to have succeeded in — the assessment by the State oard of the immense amount of property owned and used by the railroads as ards and unds in the west bottoms. The manner in which this was done, Mr. Andrews states, was by in- cluding all railroad property outside the right of way as being simply side tracks to the main line of the different roads, and added and distributed throughout the length of their lines. According to this, even if the side tracks had been included, which Mr, An- ee oniyra per. coat ct the taxes, Which received only a per cent o 0 were rightfuil Per own, but which had been unfairly distributed. — Suadry Stealings.

His idea 18 that countries which have the most to lose dy the wars of others, should associate themselves for the purpose of offering their combined armed assistance to any country which should be wantonly threat- ened with war from another. England he puts first, the others being Holland, Belgium, Denmark and Switzerland. The armies of these countries in time of peace number nearly half a million and in time of war over a million men. Their combined naval power would be very great. Thus he says in 1875 and 1887 the League would have offered its force to France when she was threatened by Germany, effectually preventing Germany from making De Molinari claims thatthe knowledge that a tremendous united force was ready to be thrown into the scale against any nation declaring war would ultimately render warin Europe impossible and bring about a general disarmament. PRANZINI. A curious sequelof the Pranzini trial is re- ported from Paris. Pranzini’s lawyer affirmed that the murderer spent the evening of the murder witha lady of position, whose name and honor prevented him from publishing it, It will be remembered that the Judge solemn- ly summoned this person, if she was in exist- ence, to come forward, and thereupon a gang of sixteen ingenious persons formed a little plan for levying blackmail on two ladies, well known in Parisian society, under the threat of divulging the name of one of them asthatof the lady in question. They tried to interest a Princess in their scheme, but the affair got into the hands of the police, and they are now allin custody. THE O’GRADY EVICTIONS. Adispatch from Dublin states that the Bo- dyke evictions are likely to be rivaled by those soon to take place on the O’Grady estate, at Herbetstown. A visit from the Sheriff is daily expected, and the tenants are fortifying and barricading their houses,declaring their inten- tion to offer a formidable resistance. A GODSEND. The parliamentary seat yacated by the death at Northwich is a godsend for the Glad- stonians. It was won by the Unionists at the last election with great difticulty, and will certainly be won back now for home rule. O’CONNOR’S NEW EVENING PAPER. The new evening paper which T. P. O’Con- nor will edit will appear in October. A project is also on foot for anew weekly political re- view. HOME RULE SPREADING. Another sign of the times is that an Irish landlord writes to the Times, under that sig- nature, warning the Government that the feel- ing in favor of home rule is spreading among the Irish proprietors, and if the Government persists in its present course the landlords will be likely to remember Parnell’s assurance to them, that they would be better off under a national legislature than an alien English one. American securities are flat and the other markets dull. _ un. * THE PANAMA LOAN, Deputy Laur’s Quarrel With M. De Cas-« sagnac, the Veteran Duelist. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. PaRIS, July 28.—The Panama loan is esti- moted to have not been covered by more than two-thirds of the amount asked. M. de Les- seps, in an interview, expressed his satisfac- tion at the result, saying that he did sot want any more. LAUR AND DE CASSAGNAC. Deputy Laur, who recently made the astounding charge that Boulanger had confided to him that ninety-four generals of the army had offdred their services to join him in a coup d’etat to overthrow the Republic, has sought to distract attention trom the de- mand upon him for proofs by challenging the veteran duelist, Paul de Cassagnac, who has branded Laurasaliar. M. de Cassagnac has declined the challenge in a most caustic letter, in which he says he would be too stupid if, by a personal quarrel, he permitted him to es- cane the consequences of his foolishact. He callsfor proofs from M. Laur, if the latter wishes to escape his personal disdain and the contempt of the public. swer to the taunts of M. Paul de Cassagnac, has addressed a letter to his seconds in his coming duel, giving the names of the Gener- als.

LONDON, July 28.—Telegrams received from Gastein state that every afternoon the aged German monarch may be seen walking under the shady elms, or calling on his friends. Tuesday evening he appeared, to the sur- prise of all, at a soiree-dansante given by the Countess Lendorf. His interest in State mas- ters remains unabated, and twice a day car- riers arrive from Berlin with documents which he carefully peruses and often changes auto- graphically. On Tuesday his remarks on one particular state document submitted to him covered twelve pages of large official paper, written with blue pencil. THE VATICAN’S.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 28.—It is now believed that the next step of the Government here will be to prociaim the National League. The mem- bers of that organization are fully prepared for this move and expect it. DIED ON BOARD SHIP. Daniel Conway, a saloon passenger on the Inman steamer City of Chicago; died suddenly on board that vessel yesterday. The deceased, who owns livery stables in New York, and leaves a widow and three children there, came to Ireland on a visit some weeks ago. The body of Conway was landed at Queens- town. A NAVAL SCANDAL. Great scandal has been created by the lack of capacity of the English officers to handle their ships in quiet water and in broad day- light. There were last week no less than two disastrous collisions by which the Devasta- tion and the Ajax were so injured that they have had to go to the docks for repairs. Capt. Laxmore,who commands the Devastation, has been suspended. Yesterday morning there was another collision in Portsmouth Harbor between two gunboats. un. CANADIAN COURTESY. Consul-General Phelan Annoyed by the Action of the Dominion Authorities, Ry Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. HALIFax, Nova Scotia, July 28.—The Amer- loan fishermen captured by the cruiser Critic on Saturday are receiving the charity of the consular agent. Consul George of Charlotte- town telegraphed to Consul-General Phelan for instructions. If the men had been ship- wrecked the United States Government would have taken charge of them and sent them to Gleucester, where they shipped, but not being shipwrecked mariners the Consul was at u loss to know what todo. Consul-General Phelan wired instructions to put them on the first vessel bound forthe United States. Mr. George proceeded to do that. The vessel was a fisherman going home from Gloucester. As soon as Director Foley learned that Consul George was going to ship the men home in a fishing vesse!, he notified the Consul, as well as all skippers of American fishing vessels then in port, that any vessel shipping the men would be immediately seized for an infraction of the custom law. Mr. George protested against the Collector’s threatened action, but Mr. Foley reaffirmed his determination. It is not to be supposed that the Collector, who isa very cautious official, was acting without instuctions from Ottawa. Con- sul-General Phelan was again com- municated with, and he telegraphed back peremptorily instructing Consul George to shipthe men on the first vessel leaving Souris fora United States port, whether the vessel was a fishing, trading or any other kind of vessel, and to immediately report any attempted interference on the part of the Collector of Costoms or any other official. CONSUL-GENERAL PHELAN is very much irritated at the present position of affairs, and expresses great surprise at whathe considers the extraordinary and to- tally unwarranted action of the Canadian offi- cers. Such conduct, if persisted in and ap- proved by officers of the Dominion Govern- ment, must necessarily very seriously strain the relations between the two governments, he thinks. A case in pointis this: The Annie Hogdon puts into Shelbourne to rescue two of her crew lost in the fog, she is summarily seized and fined 400. Fourteen American fishermen, seized for an alleged offense, are taken to Souris ina semi-nude condition, kept there three days on the charity of the consular agent, and an effort to send them home, where they maybe fed and clothed, is met with threats of further seizures and fines, provided that the vessel performing such act of humanity be a fishing vessel. Rear-Admiral Luce and the officers of the war-ships Richmond and Yan- tic, now in this port, are very indignant and inclined to the opinion that one or both of those vessels should immediately proceed to Souris. These vessels are under the instruc- tions of Oonsul-General Phelan, who refuses to indicate what his intentions are until he re- ceives further details from Consul George. The United States war-ship Ossippiis at Port Hawkesby, and could reach Souris within a few hours,if such a step is deemed neces- sary. \ THE OS8SIPEE AGROUND. The American man of-war Ossipes, while entering the harbor at 9 o’clock this morning, ran ashore on Point Pleasant shoals and re- mained aground for over an hour, at the end of which time a steam tug succeeded in pull- ing her off. Her bottom was scraped by the rocks, but it is thought that no serious damage wasdone. The ship is now anchored off the oity. The weather at the time of the accident was perfectly clear, the sky being cloud- less, and the sole cause of the vessel’s grounding was that she was out of her proper course. TWO MEN DROWNED. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, July 28.—Harry Bur- ganand Robert Hare, firemen on the Cana- . dian Pacific, were drowned in the Red River yesterday afternoon by the capsizing -of a row-boat. England. TEN PERSONS DROWNED. LONDON, July 28.—Two pleasure yachts, both well laden with people, were capsized ina equall off Yarmouth to-day. Ten persons were drowned. CHAMBERLAIN’S AMBITIOUS SON. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain’s son, who is now astudent at Berlin, will contest for a seat in Parliament as soon as another vacancy occurs in the border boroughs. THE GOODWOOD CUP. The race for the Goodwood cup was run today at the Goodwood meet- ing. The Duke of Westminster’s 8-year-old brown colt Savile and Mr. Dougiass Baird’s 4-year-old bay colt St. Michael ran a dead heat. Count De Berteaux’s é-year-old chestnut colt, Upas, was third. There were five starters. In the run off de- tween Savile and St. Michael six to five was det on Savile. Sayile won. Ireland. ROUGH OW COLLINS. BELFAST, July 28.—A sensation was created here to-day in consequence of the publication in several newspapers of reports that the Hon. Patrick A. Collins of Boston, Mass., and his entire party had been arrested by the Government on their arrival from Glasgow. There was, however, no truth in the reports as published, and but slight grounds for their invention. The facte are that when Mr. Collins and his party reached Belfast they were detained in the Cus- tom-house with much formality, and their baggage subjected to a rigid examination. Every parcel of it was unpacked ana minutely | service is in a bad condition. were emptied the bottoms and sides were all sounded, for the purpose of ascertaining whether they contained secret chambers for smuggling goods or dynamite. What made all this the more exasperating to the travelers was the fact that thé work was performed by detectives, and not by the regular Customs of- ficials. Mr. Collins was manifestly astounded and irritated at the treatment to which he was subjected. Bussia. GERMANY’S FINANCIAL CRUSADE. Sr. PETERSBURG, July 28.—The Journal de St. Petersburg says the crusade of the German press against Russian securities after the suécessful conversion of the land mortgage odligation remains unexplained, the arguments of the German news- papers on the subject being ridiculous. Russia, the Journal declares, has not a Pan- Slavist financial policy. The scheme of con- verting the metal obligation into bonds, it adds, emanated from a Russian newspaper, and not from the Russian Government. The Journai challenges the Germans to show a single instance in which Russia instructed any banks to buy Russian account bonds sold in Germany. : MUDDY WATER. Why the Supply Is So Uninviting Through- out the City—City Hall Notes. The hydrants throughout the city are now flowing with a dark-colored fluid which is proudly proclaimed to be the healthiest water in the world. Newspaper criticisms, inquiries, protests and indictments against the officials from citizen, texpayer, voter and other well- known guardians of public’ interests have been brought out. The water can be used by St. Louisans, who have become used to this fluid, but strangers are horrified when invited to drink it unfiltered. The fact is that at present there is no prospect of relief from the muddy water. The water-supply problem has been so long neglected by legis- lators, busy about railroad switches, fran- chises and matters of more personal importance, but of less consequence to the city’s interests, that the The three high service pumps have a eapacity of 50,000,000 gal- lons daily at the highest, but this is not mak- ing any allowance, for stopping day or night. The consumption of water at present is be- tween 38,000,000 and 40,000,000 gallons per day, an increase of about 4,000,000 over last sum- mer and about 1,000,000 over the anticipated increase. The three pumps cannot be constantly worked to supply this quantity of water. he river water, carrying a ange quantity of mud and sand, cuts away the pack- ing from the pumps at a rapid rate, and while the engines may be worked to pump 15,000,000 \gallons not more than 12,000,000 is churned through the worn Pack- ing. The water at present is de- ing consumed as rapidly as it can n At the water -works the four settling basins have been kept but the water is not allowed to but is drawn off from the basins, about 10,000,000 being taken from each basin per day. This arrangement is to some extent an unwise one. By emptying the basins in succession and then refilling with the full capacity of the pumps, the water would have about four hours in which to settle. Water Commissioner Hoiman has, however, come to the concinsion that this plan is best and has issued orders to the engineers to keep all the basins full. While the consump- tion continues to be so great there is little probability that the supply will beany clearer. The Sprinkling Contracts. Councilman O’Malley’s indecision in the Committee on Public Improvements threatens the defeat of the whole scheme for sprinkling the streets. Three-fourths of the con- tracts have already deen let, and the bonds are now awaiting the approval of the Council. They are now in the committee and cannot be acted on by the Council until they are reported. Messrs. Comfort, Cole and Nelson are anxious to take action, but have not succeeded in getting any satisfac- tory information from Mr. O'Malley. Reducing the Number of Precincts. On Friday night the Council will considerthe bill to decrease the number of election pre- cincts from 244 to 1383. Comptroll- er Campbell and Recorder Williams advocate the passage of this bill as it will save the city between $3,000 and $4,000 at each election, and enables the Recorder to be more particular in selecting elective offi- cers for each precinct. In some of the out: lying precincts there are hardly enough reg- istered voters to man a poll on ele ction day. 2 —-— Beating the Elevated Bill. An effort was made to-day to secure enough votes in the Council to pass the Elevated Cable bill which has been opposed by the property holders on Grand avenue, the south side of Washington avenue, and the north side of Olive street, where the road proposed to es- tablish itsterminus. The effort was not suc- cessful as there are only six votes at the best for the bill and this will defeat its passage. NOT LICENSED, The Reason Two Sunday-Law Cases Were . Knocked Out To-Day. The ruthless destruction of Sunday-law oases still goes bravely on in the Court of Criminal Correction. Two more were knocked out this morning. This time, however, the law has not been knocked out, but the cases dismissed, because there was no proof to one essential oint. When the cases of Mrs. Theckla racker and Mrs. Sabini Dierberger, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, were called Frosecuting- Attorney Claiborne stated that the police had brought the prosecution against the defendants under the law making it a misdemeanor for a licensed ga- loon-keeper to sell liquor on Sunday. On inquiring into the matter he had learned that neither of the defendants were licensed saloon-keepers at the time they sold the liquor, and he would, there- fore, have to enter nolle prosequies in both cases. The police could, however, prosecute under the law prohibiting the sale of liquor by unlicensed persons. A Terrible Charge. Alonzo Devlin, alias Hamilton, had a pre- liminary hearing before Judge Noonan to- day on a charge of endangering the lives of passengers on a railroad. According to the testimony Devlin applied to Mr. E. H. Hill of the Iron Mountain. all- road for work on the 9th inst., and was told that there were no vacancies. Before an hour had elapsed Deviin was seen to throw aswitch running a locomotive and passenger train off the track at Third street and Chouteau ave- enue and badly wrecking the locomotive. He fled to New Orleans, where he was captured and brought back. Judge Noonan heid hi for the Grand-jury in $2,000 bond. ie Judge Noonan’s Docket.

JAILER CALLAHAN REFUSES MAXWELL’S FATHER ADMISSION TO THE JAIL. He Must See the Boy“ Through the Bars, Which He Reluctantly Does, After Hours of Waiting—Sheriff Harrington Writes a Letter in Which He Characterizes Jailor Callahan’s Conduct as “Inhuman and Indecent’’—An Affecting Scene When Father and Son Meet—The Old Gentle- man Pays His Respects to American Judges, and Judge Van Wagoner in Far- ticular. The meeting between Hugh Mottram Brooks, ‘allas Walter H. Lenox-Maxwell and his father, Samuel N. Brooks of Hyde, England, took place at tne screen of the jail shortly before noon to-day, and it was a very tame affair. Mr. Brooks arrived here on the Wabash line last evening and was metat the Union Depot by John I. Martin, one of his son’s attorneys. The old gentleman was immediately driven to Mr. Martin's office, and later to the residence of P. W. Fauntleroy, where he will stop while in the city. When he reached here it was too late to see his son, and he had to content him- | self with the thought that he would be able to see him this morning. It was 9:30 o’clock when Mr. Brooks arrived at the Four Courts this morning, and Mr. Fauntleroy immedi- ately made a request of the jailer to have Max- well brought into the jailer’s office to see his father. r. Callahan stated that he had posi- tive instructions from the Sheriff not to permit any prisoners to be taken outof the jail ex- cept on order of the Sheriff or court and then only in the custody o Mr. Harrington himself or his Chief n the Four Courts, Joseph Harring- ton. . Fauntleroy was referred to the Sheriff. He hastened down to the Oourt- house, but soon returned, stating that Sheriff Harrington had refused to allowed the pris- oner to be taken out ofjail. Mr. Fauntleroy said that under the circumstances the father would have to go in jail and see his soon at the table. He was informed by Jatler Oalla- han that it was against the rules of the in- stitution to permit relatives of prisoners to go beyond the screen. Tne attorney said visit- ors who came to the institution purely out of curiosity were allowed to ass the screen and talk to prisoners inside, and he did not see W a father who had come thousands of miles to see his son who was condemned to die could not be accorded the same privilege. He thought it outrageous. Mr. Callahan said it was rather hard to refuse a parent the privilege of going beyond the screen to see hisson, but it wasa rule * —— 0 institution and had to be lived up to. relatives of one man were permitted to see him the same permission would have to be extended to the rela- tives ot all the prisoners, and that would be next to impossible. Jerry Pagels was nearer death than Maxwell, and his wife and children were not allowed to see him. Mr. Fauntleroy thought the relatives of prisoners condemned to death should certainly be per- mitted to go beyond the screen. Why, said he, by your decision you are denyin this man the privilege of shaking hands wit his son after he has come thousands of miles to see him. MR. CALLAHAN WAS OBDURATE in his refusalto lay asidetherule, and Mr. Fauntleroy went to Sheriff Harrington a sec- ond time to get an order from him forthe jailer to permit Mr. Brooks to go beyond the screen. Phe Sheriff told him he had no power to order the jailer to do so, but expressed his condemnation of the latter’s refusal to grant Mr. Fauntleroy's request. He gave the attorney THE FOLLOWING STRONGLY WORDED LETTER to the jailer: r. , Esq., Jailor City of St. Louis: DEAR Sn. Whlist I disclaim any authority or control over any prisoners in jail, and regard you as custodian of all prisoners committed to jail, Ican see no objection to allowing the father of Hugh M. Brooks seeing his son laside of the wire screen and apartfrom the gaze of the other prisoners. In fact I should regard the refusal of such permission as inhuman and indecent. Yours respectfully, e HENRY F. HARRINGTON Sheriff of the City of St. Louw, St. Louis, July W. 1887. SEEN AT THE SCREEN. This letter did not alter Mr. Callahan in his determination, and he still insisted that Mr. Brooks would have to speak to his son through the screen the same as the relatives of other prisoners. It was now nearly noon, and the old gentleman and Mr. Fauntleroy entered the screen together. Maxwell was immediately summoned and came ona run to the screen, and inquired, ‘‘How are you, fatber?’’ There was a flush of pleasure in the pris- oner’s face and a warmth in the manner in which he spoke which to see showed that he was — glad his parent. The father, who had taken a seat in a chair close up to the scree, answered his question calmly, and a conversation was opened which lasted overan hour. Before he left, Mr. Brooks shook hands with his son through the opening in the _ screen used in pasaipg articles of food, etc., to the prisoners from their friends on the outside, Mr. Callahan informing him that there was no objection whatever to his doing so, all relatives of prisoner being allowed the same privilege, if they desired to avail themselves of it. MR. CALLAHAN EXPLAINS that while he feels for Mr. Brooks and would like to accommodate him,he cannot grant him any privileges that are not given to other prisoners’ relatives. The poorest and most obscure of his wards is entitled to as much consideration and the same privileges as the wealthiest or most prominent. It would never do to permit relatives of prisoners to go be- yond the screen, as they would have too much opportunity to pass them implements to be used in makin their es- cape, or drugs with whie they might take their ves. Sheriff Harrington’s letter he could scarcely understand. Mr. Harrington refused to permit the man to be taken out, but abuses him because he will not take practically the same risk by admitting the father beyond the screen. he Sheriff will not shoulder a responsibility which he abuses him for not taking. Besides, the Sheriff has permitted prisoners to be taken outside of the jail, Mr. Callahan understood, while the — of relatives beyond the screen was something the jailer could not afford to do. Mr. Oallahan’s position is generally ap- proved around the building, though it does seem hard to keep a father and son from em- bracing each other after one has come so far to see the other, whois condemned to die. Before, when the father came here, the Cir- cuit-Attorney bad a deputy sheriff take Max- well up to his office to meet his father. The Sheriff certainly places himself in a peculiar position by the variance between his action in refusing to allow Maxwell to be taken out and his letter to the aller THERE Is LITTLE CHANGE in Mr. Brooks’ appearance since he was last here. He isa typical Englishman, and has good, honest face and a gentlemanly mann about him that impresses every body fayorabl with him.

Circumstances Which Point to Foul Play— A Singular Case. Two telegrams were received by Chief - ot · Police Huebler to-day which make it possible that a sensational case of foul play may be unearthed in this city. On July 18 Annie Ab- bott, a young woman who came to this city as the wife of Thomas Abbott about the first of July died, and was buried on the fol- lowing day. The couple were very r, and — 2 have been married En ve months before, against the consent of the parent of Abbott, who disinherited him in consequence, The story told by the couple was that the husband was the son of wealthy parents living in Toronto, Canada, ani his wife was poor and lived about six miles from Toroto. They were married, and Abbott claimed that he wasa Methodist preacher, but had learned the trade of silver-plating before studying for the ministry. On the strengtnof his knowledge of silver-plating Abbott obtained employment atthe silver-plating establishment of M. D. Degge & Co. at 113 South Eighth street. This was on July 2. Mr. Degge befriended the young man and advanced him money to defray his expenses and also secured lodgings for the couple a Mrs. Kuhlen’s, 713 North Jefferson avenue. A few days securing employment Mrs. Abbott fell sick and became gradually worse until she died on the 18th. Abbott, who appeared to be a very religious seemed terribly affected by his wife’s man death and disappeared the nextday. He sent two letters to Mr. Degge, his employer. One was from himself, stating that he was heart-broken over the death of his wife, and that his body would be found in the river. The other was a letter purporting to be from Mrs. Abbott to her husband, in which she stated that she was a burden to him, and that she had purchased some arsenio and intended to take it for his sake. DURING HER ILLNESS MRS. ABBOTT attended by Dr. E. R. Albin of 2305 was Franklin avenue, who said that she was suffering from cholera morbus and had died of heart disease su- erinduced by the former malady. He ssued a burial certificate to that effect and Mrs. Abbott’s remains were interred in the Wesleyan Cemetery. Mrs. Abbott is de- scribed as having been pretty and attractive and the pair made friends withall who met them. Mrs Kuhlen, their landlady, how- ever, says she did not have a pleasant impression of Abbott. He was small, thin and dark and dressed in clerical fashion. Yester- day a package of arsenic, which had been purchased by Abbott, was found at pote e’sfactory. The package had beer opened, ut there was no use at the factory for the drug. It was found also by comparison of the two letters that there was a similarity in the handwriting, and these incidents poin foul play. THE FIRST TELEGRAM received to-day was as foliows: Chief of Police, St. Louis: Send full description of Thomas Abbott and his wife, who died under suspicious circum- stances in your city about July 12. Thomas Abbott been found; for information see cor- respondent Chicago Inter Ocean. JOHN T. TAYLOR. Charleston, Ind., July 27, 1887. After the receipt of this one another was re- ceived as follows: Chief of Police, St. Louis: We believe the Thomas Abbott in our tele- m of to-day to be our Rev Dr. West, who eloped with a girl about six months ago. He has returned, but we have no tidings of the girl. We suspect foul play. Please send de- ) scription of both at once. H. GREEN. Charleston, Ind., July 27, 1887. Chief Huebler does not know either Taylor or Green, but on receipt of the telegrams he sent on a description of Abbott. It West answers the description of the man who was here he will be arrested and brought back for identification. Coroner Frazer had not taken any steps to discover whether there was any truth in the rumors of foul play which have been circulated. The certificate of burial was regular, and he claimed that untill his attention is officially | called to the matter he cannot move in it. To-day, however, Cireuit-Attorney Clover, thinking the facts warranted some action, brought the case to the attention of the Coroner, with the that an investigation be Coroner Frazer sent to Health Commissioner Dud ley, asking thatthe burial certificate be revoked, but as the body is buried at Wes- leyan Cemetery, in the county, the Health Commissioner refused to do so. This afternoon Chief Clerk Ryan of the Coro- ner’s office went to the cemetery forthe pur- pose of exhuming the body. It will be brought tothe city and a post-mortem examination will be held to-morrow morning. THREE MEN KILLED. A Terrible Accident on the Belmont B ranch of the Iron Mountain. By Telegraph to the PoOst-DISPATCH. KNOB Lick, July 28.—A collision occurred here about 4 o’clock this morning between two freight trains, No. 18 south- bound and third section of No. 16, resulting in the death of three men, Engineer Eustis of No. 16, Fireman Wildy of No. 15 and a brakeman, whose name could not be learned. A mistake in orders given here was the cause of the accident. The wreck blockaded the road for some hours, delaying all trains. The dam- age to the trains, which were heavily loaded with merchandise, couid not be learned. CITY PERSONALS, Miss Blanche Lewis of North St. Louis has gone East to visit friends.

THE HUNDBED THE MERCURY NEARS On the Street the Old Readings Reached—A Mistake of the Signal Service—No Cool Weather in Sight—The Day’s Readings. The Signal Service raised false hopes this morning by a curious blunder. In the morn- ing bulletin, whioh is published in another column, it gravely announced that the mer- cury had fallen most remarkably all through the country, especially in the Upper Lake region, where Duluth, Marquette and such places were ten degrees cooler this than yesterday morning at 6 o’clock. This announcement was due to the mistake of the observer, who in making the changes for twenty-four hours, used yesterday afternoon’s bulletin instead of the morning’s. Overlooking this er- ror, it was seen that the temperature was about station all over the country. At 6a. m. to-da the readings of the Signal Ser- vice at * following — were: Lou . „„ veston . 80 Ohle ago New orleans 78 St. | ERA eeee eee 66 Duluth.. «eee eee .. 6 Nashville... . Marquette 58 The real reading at this city was 77, but as the cipher code has no rotation for odd num- bers the reading fell back to 76, the next lowest, according to rule. The un clouded sun has steadily sent the mercu- rial column up in the teeth of a north wind that wakes occasional life-stirring draughts when it gets a chance to steal down long, k alleys. The streets aré taking on that character so ominous of a hot spell. aves of tremu- lous air rise from the dazzling streets, and a giance at a stretch of sunshine blinds the eye, which it only does when things are getting well dried, and offer a complete re- . flecting surface. The fact that. material sub- stances are becoming thoroughly heated is best illustrated at Ninth and Pine streets, where the Eighth street car-tracks cross. There the work of keeping the tracks wet so that the turns can be made easily had to be done to- day several times oftener than a week ago, showing that the rails do not throw off the heat at night, but that the metal.holds a good portion of it gained the day before. The effect of the pre- vious’ ‘‘spell’’ on the precautionary measure is shown in the increase of head awnings for horses. The company furnishing these says the sale is ttl larger every day, which would be — indica- tion that another affliction of h eat is expected. The indications are this after- noon tbat this fear is well taken as, there is no sign of any cooling conditions anywhere.

New Tonk, July 28.—At the office of well- known insurance brokers yesterday, it was said that the past six months had been the most disastrous in the fire record of any like period, save, of course, in that embracing the Chicago and Boston fires. Sofaras had been learned only two companies had made any money n that six months. The matter has been discussed in every office and in every association of underwriters. There is one striking phase of this matter which bas come to the fore prom- iInently in a few days, and that is the relation of Herr Most and his sympathizers to many of those fires. As indicative of the extent to which Insurance companies are be- ing roused on this question, it is only necessary to call attention toa special meeting of the New York Board of Underwriters, held yesterday, to discuss this very subjeet and adopt ways and means to meet the emergency. Herr Most’g book, bearing on the subject of dynamite and phosphorus as incendiary agents was considered at length, especially his claim that many recent fires were due to their use. Copies of newspapers, the book itself, and all available information upon the point were a week before handed over to the Committee on Police and the Origin of Fires, with instructions to make a thorough investi- gation of the matter and report upon some plan which would check, if possible, the great increase in the number of fires ‘which were undoubtedly incendiary. A STARTLING STATEMENT. On this point a member of the Board said yesterday: ‘‘John Most has become a factor in the subject of fire insurance. Our civiliza- tion has come to a pretty pass when such a red mouthed, ranting Anarchist’s utterances have to be considered by fire insurance com- panies and means devised to abate their bane- ful effects. Thereis some means of reaching this man, and whatthe law can do will soon be tried. He openly boasts in his book that recent fires are—some of them, at least—due to the Anarchists. Whether true or not, his ut- terances have their effect.’’ On the subject of averting disastrous losses in fire insurance, remedies have been consid- ered by fire underwriters from time to time. Yesterday all phases of the matter were taken up.One measure proposed is that every person insured shall, in the case of a run of such extra- ordinary and—for the companies—exhausting losses, share in a portion of his own loss. Another suggestion was that known as the French system, in which every insured person pays for injury done to contiguous property when the fire starts on his own premises. NEW YORK’S LOSSES.

One feature in insurance business which has been brought to light in the recent losses is what are termed ‘‘jumbo’’ lines, and the mat- ter is commented on with surprise in insur- ance circles. By this itis meant that several companies which had bitherto incurred a risk of a small percentage have been insur- ing a much larger per cent, and this has been for the ‘‘jumbo’’ lines. Among those companies are said to be some well known companies of this city, Brooklyn and Chicago. The Pacific Coast has been peculi arly fortunate, the losses for six months not exceeding 25 per cent of the average.

It can now be safely predicted that the sus- pense occasioned bythe delay over the ap- pointments by the School Board will be ended at the meeting to be held to-morrow evening. From information gleaned by a PostT-Dis- PATCH reporter this morning it appears that the real cause of the deadlock has been a se- cret to the public. It has been generally ro erstood that the hitch was over the appointment of Mr. M. A. Sullivan as Super- intendent. It seems, however, that the prev- alent idea as to the cause of the deadlock was erroneous. It is true that three ofthe mem bers of the Board, Messrs. Dill, Rush and Can- tillon, were decidedly opposed to reap- pointing that gentleman Superintendent, but Tr. Dill at least ha no objection to eo him a principalship and in fact has signified his willingness to vote for him tor Principal of the High School. This compromise was satisfactory to Mr. Sullivan and to hie three supporters for Superintend- ent, Messrs. Canavan, Sullivan and Joyce, and if Mr. Sullivan's appointment had been the only cause for inharmonious action there would have been no reason for any further delay. The real cause of the hitch was, how- ever, learned this morning. When the abolition of the office of Superin- tendent had been decided upon and an agree- ment entered into by the two factions that Mr. Sullivan be given a principalship, the question of the distribution of patronage as regards the rest of the ese was then considered and it developed that there was additional cause for a disagreement. It was proposed by Mr. Rush that each faction have the namin of all the teachers in three of the schools an the 1 in the seventh be equal divided. It was conceded by Mr. Rush an his colleagues that the Sullivan faction have the naming of the teachers for the Franklin School, provided the appointments for the Webster School belefttothem. This arrange- ment was satisfactory to Messrs. Sullivan, Joyce and Canavan, and it was decided that the appointments be made onthat plan. But when at the meeting held last — night Messrs. Sullivan, Joyce and anavan were apprised of the fact that Mr. Can- tillon wanted his daughter Ella for first assistant at the Webster and Mr. Rush, his niece, for second assistant, they broke the agreement, and an adjournment was taken without the appointments be- ing made. This is the way matters stood until this morning, when it was learned on ood authority that Mr. Dill had decided to sécede from his colleagues, Messrs. Rush and Cantillon, and vote with the other three members. Mr. Dill could not be seen to verify the report, but he is alleged to have signified that such was his intention. Mr. Rush was seen, and said that he had heard that Mr. Dill intended to break the deadlock by voting with the opposite faction, and he was inclined to give the report credence although he had not been tol ositively by Mr. Dill as yet that such was his intention. As faras he was concerned, he said that he would refuse to make the concessions de- manded by the Sullivan faction, and, if Messrs. Dill and Cantillon remained by him, would allow the schools to remain closed until the snow fell, unless Messrs. Sullivan, Canavan and Joyce allowed himself, Cantillon and Dill the distribution of — to Which they were rightfully entitled Notes.

CHICAGO, Ill., July 28.—Robert Sutherland of Burmah arrived in Chicago yesterday. Mr. Sutherland is a retired English army officer, and has been for many years connected with the Burmah-Bombay Trading Corporation, which practically controls the products of that regiog. He said yesterday that since the English Government had taken con- tro of Burmah the commercial in. terests of that locality had materially increased. In regard to the Government of the couptry, he said that when King Thee- baw was compelled to surrender himself, the British Government allowed his soldiers to be disbanded and to take their arms with them. These men not having received their arrears of pay, and having no means of support, im- mediately organized themselves into roving bands of robbers and highwaymen, and soon became a terror to the country. They were called ‘‘Dacoits’’ and their numbers were soon materially increased by the addition of a lot of wild, reckless fel- lows, who were even worse than the original **Dacoits.’’ The Government has, however, practically gained the ascendency of these dangerous bands, and severe measures have frizhtened the vn a ge Ampeg a wholesome re- ‘ing Theebaw, he said, was now held a closely —2— prisouer in India, and his days ot ruling were over.

Pearce, who owns the historic residence on Chouteau avenue known as the ‘‘cracker mansion,’’ subrents that stately pile and boards with his tenant. 4 fellow boarder was in the habit of patronizing the Excelsior Laundry, and the laundryman, when he called for his customer's linen, was iven that of Maj. Pearce. As soon as the utter discovered the error he bastened to the laundry and demanded the linen. The clerk informed himthat it was in ‘‘the wash.’’ „Give em to me anyhow,’’ said he, ‘‘I'll take em if they're wringing wet. This re- uest was refused unless the charges were vrthcoming, which they were not. Maj. Pearce then entered suit. At the trial of the case to-day some hot words were passed between Mr. Frank Ryan, the attorney for the laundry, and Maj. Pearce. The latter was rather warm in his denuncia- tion of such a laundry system, and Mr. Ryan aid: **Oh! well, Major, you're notbing but an old crank, anyhow, Ike all old bachelors.’’ ‘If you say that again, sir, replied the owner of the Cracker Mausion, ‘‘1’ll break . ‘*‘Weil, I’ve got nothing to take back, an- swered Mr. Ryan, but order was restored be- fore the unpleasantness developed further. The jury had not come toadecision late in the afternoon. The Bridal Bulletin. Name. Residence. Louis A. Brueggeman.......... 2406 De Kalb st Christine M. Busse 2406 De Kalb st Henry W.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE PUT IN PROPERTY BELOW THE CITY. Cliff Cave Heights to Pass Into the Hands of a New York Syndicate—A Beautiful Tract to Be Laid Out fora Residence Suburb— The Heirs of H. T. Blow Dis g of Large Real Estate Interests—Thos. C. Fletcher in the Syndicate. The Post-DisPatcu, in its issue of July 16, published the particulars of a heavy syndicate recently organized in New York, composed of Eastern capitalists, for the purpose of pur- chasing all the available property along the ‘Tiver-front between the quarantine and the point of the bluffs near the mouth of the Mer- amac River. The object of this prospective purchase is to control what is known as the Oliff Cave Heights, which take their name from the old Cliff Cave, situated about twelve miles south of the city on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Railroad. The cave has long been a place of public resort, and was frequently se- lected for picnic grounds, barbecues, and other gatherings of a public and private character. Many years ago the cave and the land upon which itis located—about 184 acres all told—belonged to Henry W. Williams, the resent Recorder of Voters for the City of St. uis. In 1867 Mr. Williams transferred this reg. erty, together with the cave rights, to Dr. C. W. Spaulding, a dentist, who shortly after- ward sold it tothe Cliff Cave Wine Company with the exception of a small parcel situated between the cave and the river, which he sold to William Doench of this city. Mr. Williams also owned a tract of 27 acres on the river front adjoining the above de- scribed landon the south, upon which is the Cliff Cave depot. Shortly before the purchase of the cave 1 49 by the wine company Mr. Williams sold this tract to T. C. Fletcher and Henry T. Blow jointly, and they afterwards divided it into equal portions, Mr. Fletcher taking the northern part, in which he still re- tains his 8 and Mr. Blow the south- ern, which after his death was apportioned to Miss Mattie E. Blow and Lucretia Blow. Last Monday Mr. Fletcher added to his orig- inal possessions all the property, 184 acres, bounding his property belong- in to the Cliff Cave Wine Company, thirteen and a half acres on the north and west, embracing the cave, several acres of vineyard and all the springs, for which he aid $50 per acre. This property has a river ntage of something OVER 2,000 FEET, which, together with the piece Mr. Fletcher previously owned adjoining it on the south, gives him acontinuous frontage of over 3,400 feet along the banks of the river. Immediate north of this purchase is a tract originally beloging to Henry Von Phul, fronting over 3,000 feet on the river, including the heights along its western bank. The Von Phul property was subdivided into fourteen lots and sold to various purchasers in 1872, among whom were Mr. Fletcher, John W. Dryden, Paris Mason, M. L. Pottle, Messrs. Patriarch and Smith and a number of others. Adjoining the Von Phul subdivision on the north was a tract belonging to Henry W. Williams of 90 acres, but which is now owned by Moses L. Pottie. . r. Pottle's river frontage is in the neighbor- hood of 1,500 feet, and constitutes the northern limit which the syndicate intends buying. Adjoining the Fletcher property on the south are the northern limits of the Blow estate, which extends along the river banka distance of about two and one-haif miles, to the southern extremity of the beights, aggre- gating afrontage on the river of about 13, 000 ineal feet. This tract originally belonged to H. T. Blow, but after his death was subdivided into lots ranging from nine tothbirty-five acres and alotted to bis children in proportions as near! equal as practicable. me. De Smirnoff, Mrs. Lucretia LaBorgeois, Misses Susie E. and Mattie E. Blow still retain their respective interests as they were received from their father. The interest of John G. Blow has passed into the eg — of Logan D. Dameron, and that of Peter Blow to E. 8. Rowse. Each of these parties own about one hundred acres. The representative of the syndicate has been in the city for the past two weeks and has made a NUMBER OF PURCHASES of parts of the property here described, but just what tracts have changed hands cannot now be stated, as the utmost secrecy is maintained as to everything relating to the deal. It is well known, however, that the agent, although working under cover is at present negotiating with the representa- tives of the various owners with the hope of ultimately securing all the river heights be- tween the points named. As an evidence of the genuineness of this deal Mr. Fletcher assured the Post-DISPATCH reporter that he had made the purchase of the Wine Company's tract, for the purpose of putting it, together with his other property at Cliff Cave, in with the syndicate’s pur- — us he is a member of that organiza- on. The syndicate expects to invest about 5100, 000 in this property, exclusive of any improve- ments. After getting whatthey want the company intend to aggregate all their purchases, sub- divide, plat and improve the property in such a manner as to make it the most desirable resi- dence property in the neighborbood of the city. This locality now has all the necessary facilities for transportation both by rail and water. This consideration, in conjunc- tion with the beautiful prospects with which the property abounds, is certain to make it a favorite suburb of the city. From any point of the heights a prone view of the Mississippi River in ail its windings, and the surrounding country and hills on the Lilinois side, can be obtained. Gov. Fletcher is now having a plat made of the entire river front from the Quarantine to the foot of the heights, which covers a q- tance of about 21,000 linear feet, or nearly four lineal miles, showing connectedly all the vari- ous interests contemplated in the deal. In the subdivision and laying-out of the ground into building lots and streets THE GENERAL PLAN outlined a number of years ago by Henry T. Biow will be followed as near as practicable, which contemplated the construction of a beautiful residence park’ similar to Llewellen Park on the Hudson, with private drives, well shaded and watered, and the ground improved by proper sanitary measures.

Hess, whose escapade in leaving a wife and three children for the safe of bask- ing in the smiles of a pretty girl, was men- tioned in Monday’s Post-DisPatcu, would doubtless smile a sickly sthile if he could see how poorly fortune is favoring him. He had left his family here ignorant of his whereabouts, and had kept the girl’s parents in the dark as to whether he had married her. Th girl, Miss Lulu Roeder, had gone to her parents in eastern Kansas, accompanied y Hess, but nobody had heard whether he was a digamist until yesterday when the minister who married them arrived in the ~ This preacher is Kev. Heinrich Maul, a German Protestant, who presides over a little congregation near Lawrence, Kan. He also happens to be the grandfather of the young lady. The death ofa relative in East t. Louis had called him to thiscity unex- pectedly, and it was not till he read about Hess in the Post-DispatTcu on the train that he knew of the great mistake he bad made in marrying them. The old gentle- man was seen by a POsST-DISPATCH reporter and explained how he was deceived into be- lieving Hessasingle man. ‘‘When he came to the house he was introduced by Miss Roeder as her affianced, He was — eager to bave the ceremony per- formed, e had no marriage license, and ex- lained that he had left St. Louisin sucha — that he — to bring it along. I ac- cordingly went to Lawrence, Kan., with him and saw him get a license and make oath to his being single. I questioned him very ut he answered every ques- squarely, and 1 was thrown off my guard. The agirl’s mother, my daugh- ter, wrote me about Hess, but he got the letter out of the Post-office and I never saw it. Since coming here I learned of its having been sent. The couple left at once for Denver, Colo., and I thought no more of it. The minister called on Mrs. Hess yesterday with Mrs. Roeder toconsult about taking steps to bring Hess back. A letter was received by Mrs. Roeder, in Hess’ handwriting, signed „Lulu,“ and dated Denver, Colo., July 23, stating that they would at once go on to Cali fornia. Mrs. Roeder declared to-day that she would like to see Hess brought back and punished and is thinking seriously of notify- ing the Chiefof Police of San Francisco and having the couple arrested. The girl, now Mrs. Hess No. 2, is over age, and is thus her own mistress. Mrs. Hess said that she had learned that her recreant hus- band beſore leaving, had given out that he was contemplating running a sort of harem by supporting his last wife on a farm in Kansas an yg Aamo of his time with his lawful spouse in St. uis. He thus hoped to keep both wives in ignorance. A SHOCKING SCENE Which Drew an Immense Crowd on North Seventh Street To-Day. A good deal of amusement was occasioned this morning by E. T. Cook on North Seventh street. Mr. Cook has an iron guard-rail stretching across the width of his show- window in front of his place, upon which strangers and curiosity seekers are in the habit of resting, while they watch with interest the many curious instruments and electrical apparatus, displayed in the window. Mr. Cook conceived the idea of having some fun with these idlers, and charged the rail with electricity. The consequence was that all who touched the projecting rail received a shock which, for the moment, staggered them. As fast as one was victimized he would step aside and watch the coming of the next victim. This contin- ued until quite a large crowd congregated in front of the place, all of whom had been dosed. The police finally compelled the crowd to move on. SARATOGA RAC ES. Good Weather, but Slim Attendance— Win- ners of To-Day’s Events. SARATOGA, N.

URED BY THE POLICE, Kindergarten Burglars. made records for themselves. was brought about in a peculiar manner. have a bullet wound in his leg dressed. was a rather suspicious-looking character, and Special Officers Cummins and O’ Hanlon of the Fourth District, who came upon him,concluded to examine into the case. They inquired his name, and he said it was Joseph Smith, and that he had come here recently from Chicago. The bullet wound in his leg he explained by stating that a pistol which he had been clean- ing was accidentally discharged, the ball en- tering his leg. This explanation did not satisfy the officers, who took the young man to the Four Courts. There he was identified by De- tective Burke as Billy Hough, a young crook of considerable prominence. Hough has been under arrest a number of times, and some time long ago was in jail for a job of sneak work, but got out by shamming insanity. After being sent to the Insane Asylum he was soon released. When searched at the Four Courts a number of silver — were taken from his pocket and identified as having been stolen from the residence of ©. C. Whittaker, No. 4065 Bell avenue, which was ransacked Monday after- noon by five youths. A couple of the thieves were wounded by Officer McFadden, whocame upon them while they were at their work and fired three shots at them. The officer was sent for and IDENTIFIED HOUGH asthe youth who pointed arevolver at him when he came upon them, but dropped it and ran when he opened flre on them. He fired three shots at the crowd, but they all escaped. Hough admitted that he was one of the gang and thatthe same crowd who were with him in that job had ransacked Charles T. Farrar’s house on Theresa avenue the same day. He refused to say, however, who his companions were. Detective McGrath, who knew the crowd with whom Hough kept company, in- stantly om ag eb who were in the job, and before night had arrested Willie, alias Buck Nelson, as one of the men. He was also iden- tified by McFadden and admitted his guilt. fe said they tirst ransacked the residence of Mr. Farrar and then went through Whittaker’s house. He said McFad- den shot Houghand another member of the ganginthe leg, and his third shot passed through the hat of another of the crowd. This was pretty good shooting for an officer. McGrath thought he could get the other mem- bers of the gang last night, but missed them. This morning he arrested Patsy McGoldrick at his house, and he was also identified by Officer McFadden, The other two members of the gang are still at large. Houghisabout20 years of ave, and the others are all i17-year- old boys, Like the other two, McGoldrick admitted being in the job. They were all Kerry Patch youths, und the three under ar- rest have all been arrested a number of times before for similar offenses, but owing to their extreme youth have managed to escape pun- ishment. Hough was sent to the City Hospi- tal yesterday afternoon for treatment,but the other two are confined in the Four Courts holdover. Both Nelson and McGoldrick claim that whatever plunder was secured, Hough got. While both Hough and Nelson admit the Farrar job also, McGold- rick denies it. Nelson was very talkative to Detective McGrath and to him admitted both jobs and told him all about them, but he refused this morning to make any statement to a reporter, saying he had said all he tntend- ed telling to McGrath. A few bangles, a re- volver and a pair of pants are believed to be all they secured out of Whittaker’s house, but it isnot known what they got out of Farrar’s, as the family are out ofthe city. A STATEMENT. McGoldrick spoke freely about the case. He said: ‘‘I was there, but did not go inside the house. There were five of us in the gang, and another fellow and I stood watch in the yard, while the othera went through the house. When I sawthe policeman coming I ran off, and do not know whether Hou pointed a revolver at him, but I believe Hough had one. Noone planned the job. We were passing by and saw a chance to go through the house and did. 1 don’t know whether we got anything, but if we did Hought keptit. He was the oldest boyanda kind of leader of the crowd. The Theresa ave- nue jobI don’t know anything — 4 I was not there, and never heard of it befo#. I have been arrested four orfive times before und was sent to the House of Refuge once, but my sister got me out. The boys who were in the job all live up my way and I guess every one of us is about 17 years old, except Hough. He is older, but I don’t knuw just how old. The police will endeavor to get Mr. Whit- taker to swear to information in the morning for a warrant against the youths, and say they will make every endeavor to put them through, as they are a bad gang. They can all be pun- ished under the new law, which went into effect last month, under which boys between the ages of 16 and 18 years can be sent to the enitentiary, where heretofore they could only be given light jall sentences. CAUGHT ANOTHER. Shortly after noon to-day Detective Mc- Grath arrested Tom Jackson, another of the gang implicated in the Whittaker robbery, and brought him to the Four Courts. He was the second man Officer McFadden had shot in the leg, and still carries the bullet. He gave his age as 16 years, and had on hima collar button which he had stolen from Whittaker’s residence, LABOR NEWS. Newark Leather Manufacturers and Union Men—A Socialist Victery.

From the way they clung to him, Mr. CLEVELAND‘told the Kansas City commit- tee he was afraid they would never let him get away from Kansas City again if he should go there. If he gets away with- out being “cleaned out in a real estate transaction, he will be favored far be yond most visitors to Kansas City.

SENATOR DOWNING’S REWARD. When members of the Legislature be- tray the trust of their constituents and bla st their popularity by making them- selves more or less notorious as the tools of a railroad lobby, the only question in the public mind is whether they do it for cash or get their pay in one of the many less direct ways in which a rail- road lobby practices bribery. The ap- pointment of State Senator DOWNING as one of the regular attorneys of the K. C., St. J. & C. B. Railroad is by no means a sign that the other members who worked for the lobby were actuated only by love and duty and will beleft unrewarded. Col. Dawes’ railroad is not the only one rep- resented by the lobby in recent sessions, and they all have favors to bestow be- sides rebates, tie contracts and attorney- ships. Promises of attorneyships or other pro- fessional employment are reserved to catch those lawyer members who cannot be caught with some other kinds of bait. A bait which has notoriously caught United States Senators, Cabinet officers and various grades of State officers from Governor down, as well as Judges on the bench, may well be supposed by a mere member of the Legislature to have re- ceived the stamp of respectability and professional approbation. By the simple device of getting into the Missouri Legis- lature, introducing an Employers’ Liabil- ity bill, and then smothering it in com- mittee when it was about to become a law, an obscure country lawyer in very poor practice has been known before now to capture a railroad attorneyship worth , 000 or $10,000 a year, without being dis- barred or losing caste anywhere but at home. A case of technical bribery or black- mail cannot be made out of such facts, but no other method of betraying public trusts or reaching the ends of downright bribery is more facile or effective. As the bait of a few lottery prizes distributed over the country will catch a multitude of nib- blers, so will a few railroad prizes dis- tributed among politicians secure the services of many who are in the end necessarily cheated of their expected reward. The only check upon this demoralizing influence is the public indignation which ought to pursue and brand every man who accepts any emolument or alleged employment from any corporations or combination of inter- ests that have been favored by him while holding a position of public trust. Such positio executive, legislative and ju- diciail— too often sought and noto- riously too often used as mere stepping- stones tothe more lucrative positions at the disposal of the railroads. ————_———— — 1 n Whew Mayor FRANCIS remarked to the President after the invitation to visit St. Louis had been given and accepted, Do not forget Mrs. CLEVELAND,” what was the President’s response? He did not say, as one would doubtless say in the first flush of married bliss, speaking froma heart that pulsated with thrills responsive to magnetic touches, ‘‘I cannot forget her;“ nor did he say, as one in the calm satisfaction of maturer love, feeling that there were claims that never could fail to remind him of her, ‘‘I shal) not forget her.“ But with the impulsive frankness which is characteristic of the Chief Exec- utive and with that unshaken faith which flows from experience of the power of a woman who is indissolubly linked to a man to make her presence felt at all times and on all occasions, he said: ‘‘She will not let me forget her.“ This was a deli- cate yet frank tribute to Mrs. CLEVELAND’s firm grasp of the rights and privileges of awife. Itshows that amid the howl- ings of political panthers, the crush for place, the ‘*ghoulish glee’’ of an inimical press and the burdens of office, she has permeated the life of the President with the fact of her existence and with the charm of her gentle and pervasive pres- ence. There is in matrimony something far more subduing than the rolling-pin, and the most obdurate old bachelor soon succumbs to its influence. See ae n Ir THE President cannot avoid going to Chicago after coming to St. Louis, he will find it fully as difficult to visit Kansas City without extending his trip to Leaven- worth, Atchison, St. Joseph, Council Bluffsand Omaha. The rivalry among those Missouri Valley cities will not per- mit either to get ahead ot the others, even in the matter of a ribbon or a new bonnet. To visit two or more Missouri cities, one of them on the Kansas border, without seeing one in Kansas, or to pay his respects to both Missouri and Kansas without doing the same for Nebraska and lowa at Omaha and Council Bluffs, would cause some pouting. An extended trip through the West would be good for his health, and a glimpse of the present aspect of the former land of the bison should have a tendency to expand the Buffalo mind, CaPTTaL, $100,000; deposits, $75,000: as- sets found in the bank vaults, $4,000, and a letter from the absconding President an- nouneing that he had been dealing in mining stocks and wheat and could carry | the load no longer. This is the story- the Citizens’ Savings Bank of Leaven- worth, Kan. As President P. R. CLX ENTS, in his sad farewell letter, admits that he was $51,000 behind before the bank was established, and that he wrecked it in the effort to get even, the fact that he left $4,000 in the bank vault is yet to be accounted for. In his hasty departure for Canada he probably discovered too late that his carpet-bag would not hold all the ‘money. BF aS: Mrs. OLeson, described asthe ‘‘keeper of a fashionable boarding-house” in Chi- cago, had two of her fashionable board- ers arrested for disorderly conduct that greatly excited and shocked the rest of her fashionable boarders. Mr. Gans was not only in the habit of kissing Miss HANSEN and playfully biting her ear, but actually did it at the open front win- dow of her room. One fashionable young lady testified that it was very dis- orderly conduct to do such things at an open window. Chicago etiquette requires closed blinds and drawn curtains when kissing and ear-biting are to be done. The old-fashioned judge pronounced it a case of jealousy on the part of the young la- dies and discharged the prisoners. — — -_ BUFFALO BILL’s social conquest of the British aristocracy and of the royalties attending the jubilee has started Mexican Joe to London with a splendid troop of cowboys, scouts, and blanket Indians.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, July 28.—The WORLD says: Mr. Sherman is to be congratulated on the excel- lent generalship which he displayed in seizing yesterday’s convention. The marching into Toledo of aclubof 700 men from the town of Mansfield, his home, was a genuine coup. By rallying his followers and capturing the ma- chinery of his party in Ohio Mr. Sherman has given hiscampaign forthe Presidency quite an impetus, but he has possibly started some heart-burnings in. his State, and his best friends may pause and inquire as to the char- acter of the spectacle which he now presents to the whole country. THE SUN. The San says: ‘‘The report that Mr. Blaine has decided to 8 up his trip all around the globe and half way around the moon, and come home by the first available steamer, is surprising but not incredible. Mr. Blaine is a sagacious politician. He may not know some things, but he does know other things. He may fancy that Sydney Smith was a Scotch- man, but be does not imagine that John Sher- man is either an angel of forgiveness or a natural born fool. We are sorry to say it, but all ot Mr. Blaine’s admiri friends in this country are not as wise as Solomon and as far- seeing as Mother Shipton. Some of them, for example, have been burrahing so vociferously in Ohio that they came very near taking the wind out of the boat’s sails.’ THE TIMES. The Times says: President Cleveland in ac- ‘cepting the invitation to visit Kansas City ex- pressed his pleasure that it had no ‘partisan or political feature.’ His visit to the West, which takes place early in October, is likely to prove anotable event. His desire to see the coun- try and visit the people without any sugges- tion of a political purpose will no doubt be re- ciprocated by a desire to do honor to the Chief Magistrate of the nation without regard to — considerations. There isa wholesome exhibition of feeling on both sides,and it gives promise of a time when a ident once elected shall be regarded as the representative of the whole people, and not the head of a political party. Mr. Cleveland comes nearer to holding that relation in the estimation of the whole country than any President we have had in many years. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: The country will watch with much interest the result of the etection in Texas next weekto decide the prohibition issue. Party lines have been obliterated in the contest, and there seems to be a fair chance for an honest count. Many Democrats favor prohibition in order to keep liquor from the colored men, as it demoralizes the labor- ing class. There appeur to be enough Demo- crats on that side to secure a fair election, and the comparison of the vote with other elec- tions will be instructive. The contest has at least demonstrated the wisdom of keeping the prohibition issue free from party entangle- ments. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. W. E.U.—A policeman cannot perform the marriage ceremony.

The Return This Morning of a Part of the In- vitation Committee—All of the Members Delighted With Their Trip and Their Re- ception by the President—Mayor’s Secre- tary Fanning Givés Some Interesting In- cidents of the Visit—Mrs. Cleveland at Home—Her Enthusiasm Over the Pros- pect of a Western Tour—A Pen Picture of the Lady of the White House—Arrange- ments for the St. Louis Visit and the Journey Through the West. The first division of the Cleveland Invitation Committee returned from Washington this morning. In the party were four St. Louisans, Lawrence L. Butler, John 8. Moffitt, C. F. Whitsett and M. A. Fanning, the Mayor’s secretary. The rest of the party was com- posed of State delegates and included H. L. Rozier of Ste. Genevieve, John Dougherty of Clay County, George Corbin of Kansas Oity, A. Bodemeyer of Boone County; John F. dolph County, W. F. Neal of Butler County, 8. J. McCallum of Ripley County, W. B. Me- Mullen of Jefferson County, J. W. Johnson of Pike County; Robert M. White of the Mexico Ledger, and R. O. Osborne of Monroe County. It would be hard to find sixteen gentlemen in better humor or better pleased with themselves and the world. They lett Washington on Tuesday evening, the oth- ers of the delegation either remaining at the capital or scattering in various direc- tions. The returning members had a special car on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and had a pleasant trip home. A stop of several hours was made at Cincinnati and the delegates spent the time driving around the city. The recollections of the visit to the President, however, his treatment ot them and tue suc- cess of the mission are the main feat- ures which make the trip notable. The country members returned to their homes at once and did not stop over in the city. The St. Louis members were tired, but managed to get down to busi- ness this morning. The coach which brought the delegation home was decorated with two streamers, one being itfseribed with the words of the President, It must be done, and the other with the result of the visit, It is done. The President's expression caught the mong | of the delegates and was a by-word amongthem. Whenever anything was sug- es some one would pipe in with It must e done, and it was done. There is not a St. Louls member or a country member for that matter, who is not enthusias- tic over his trip. Mr. John 8. Moffitt was too busy to talk this morning, but he had a smile on his face a yard wide and exp imself as délighted with the journey and particularly the result. The Mayor's secre . M. A. FANNING, went home before he came down to the office, where a dig pile of corre- spondence awaited him; but even the prospect of lots of work could not mar the cold wave expression which lingered on his face. There was a wistful, regretful look in his eyes as he glanced around the barn and out in the familiar features of the Eleventh street brickseape, as if his thoughts had wandered back to some bright spot in the past. And they were wees — and were skip- ping around in the neignborhood of Oak View, just four miles from Washington, where is the summer home of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. Well, how did you enjoy your trip?’’ asked the Post-DIsPaATCH reporter, who dropped into the Mayor’s office. The secretary started a little and, gazing straight into vacancy, murmured: ‘‘sne is beautiful, a perfect Juno, and then there is that quality about her that putsone at per- fect ease and charms r do not doubt it at all, but Iwas talking about the trip. Oh, the trip; yes, it was very nice, just four miles from Wasbin ton, with a splendid view, and Mrs. Clevei was sitting with her — on a wide * ai he reporter grappled wit ne Secretary and shook him ) , while he asked: ‘‘Does Mrs. Fanning know of this?’’ It was an awakener. Mrs. Fanning? Oh, yes, yes! I wrote her that Mrs. Cleveland was the loveliest woman [ever met, except one, except one; and she is. There was a depth of feeling in that last conclusion that no one who does not know the inner and romantic sidé of the secretary’s nature would ever think him capable of expressing in three words. Mr. Fanning is excusabie ause he was one of the fortunate members of the committee. He accompanied Mayor Francis to Oakview to dine with the President and his wife and to talk over the plans for the visit here in October. The Mayor and the President talked about the trip, and Mr. Fanning basked in the witchery of Mrs. Cleveland’s smiles for an hour and a half. . It was one of the pleasantest times that I ever spent, said he, and 1 appreciated it, because I wanted an opportun ty to become acquainted with Mrs. Cleveland.’ How did you like her?’’ She is one of the loveliest women I ever met. I was agreeably surprised in her * pearance, but particularly in herself. She is a superb-looking woman, with the figure and bearing ofaJuno. She is tall and the molding of her figure can only be described as classic and heroic. She is plump, but not at all fleshy, the outlines being rounded and firm as if she had taken plenty of exercise and had not an ounce of surplus flesh. Her head-is shapely and is covered with thick waving hair, and her neck, arms and hands are perfectly molded. She carries herself, too, with a grace and dignity Which makes her impressive. And yet, with this bearing, one is not a bit awed or embarrassed. Her tact is simply exquisite, and after the first word you are not only put at your entire ease, but she has that subtle quality of manner which draws out the best in = and gives you the feeling that you are making a fine impres- sion, which is always pleasant. I was charmed with ber. Her face is not pretty, but she has the pleasant expression so manifest in her photographs and a bright intelligence of eyes and features which can not be de- scribed. Aitogetber you can not be with her for any time nor look at her without conelud- ing that she is a beautiful woman.’’ ‘*What struck me and pleased me as much as anything else, however, was the en- thusiasm with which she regarded the prospect of her Western trip. Her interest in everything connected with it was like that of an enthusiastic girl and was captivating. She asked about everything and showed a knowledge of the West which was surprising. It was plain that SHE HAD READ THE NEWSPAPERS closely and was posted. She talks about the Fair Grounds, the Exposition and the Veiled Prophet’s parade, and said she would not miss the ball for anything and wanted to see everything to be seen. I came to the conclusion that one of the best friends the St. Louis invitation had was Mrs. Cleveland, and that she had a great deai to do with the acceptance. Oakview is a retty place. The house is small but com- ortable, and commands a -— es view of Washington in the distance. e big Capitol building looks like atoy house, and the city lies spread out under the view. When we drovetothe house the President and Mrs. Cleveland were seated on a broad verandah in front of the house. Was any conclusion arrived at as to the date of the President's visit?“ ‘‘No, not definitely.

It filled out the invitation. After the President’s speech, when the Mayor re- minded him that he must not f Mrs. Cleveland, and the President replied that she would not let him forget her, there was a per- fect howl of laughter. „There was one other unusually pleasant in- cident of the trip. When Mr. Moffittand I went to the White House to arrange for the re- ception we were ushed by a Secre into THE PRESIDENT’S PRIVATE OFFICE. His desk is by a large window looking out ever the White House * with the Washington monument in lview. A huge 3 bouquet of flowers was on the President desk, but what interested more than anything else was a hand- some oaken box, 1 in a prominent ition. A blue ribbon was tied to the ke and the secretary called our attention to and opened the box. Inside was the St. Louis invitation-book. The President treasures it highly and shows t to every one who goes into his office. Mrs. Cleveland spoke about the invitation and asked about how it was made up and how it was e to get so many signatures in so short a time. Wetold her about the ag — of the committees and how the Post-DispaTtTcH had suggested and carried out the idea. the other incidents of the visit Mr. Fan- ning was as well pleased. One of the pleas- antest was the excursion given by the Mayor to Mount Vernon. The ladies accompanied the delegation and a jolly day was spent. special permission a champagne lunch was enjoyed under the trees. One of the surprises of the day was the introduction of Mr. Law- rence Butler as the grandson of Nellie Custis. He is not only the grandson of Washing- ton’s adopted daughter, but is also a descend- ant of e Washington family. Speeches were made by Messrs. George Castieman, Charles Knapp, W. F. Switzler and Sam Majors. The rumor that THE CHAMPAGNE WAS TOO ABUNDANT is denied, and it is said that it arose from the joy of Judge Lanham over the success of his toothpicks and the acceptance of the invita- tion. Going home on the boat, after telling ail the stories that he has treasured up in his mental museum, he commenced s ng hymns and his example was follow by others with different caliber of voice, and the result was regarded with suspi- cion by the officers of the boat. 0 . members are so well pleased with KISSED AT THE WINDOW.

So far, only six departments have bee provided with assignments, and they are 4 follows: ASSIGNMENTS NOW MADE. The Department of Illinois, consisting ¢ about 10,00 men, will be quartered in Lya Park, formerty tue old United States Arsena, located at the foot of the street by that nami, on the banks of the river. The Department of Indiana, with probaby 6.000 men, has been assigned the St. Louw Park, situated Letween enton and Heben streets, and Kauschenbach and Soloma avenues. The Department of Iowa will furnish abou 5,000 men. wo will be stationed in Carr Park located between Wash and Carr streets, au Fifteenth e S-venteeoth streets. To Nebraska department, with a force of 5,000 men, will be given the Jackson Park, located ai North Market, Eleventh and Twelfth streets. Kanaan with about 5.00 men, will take pos- session of Bashingtoan square, situated be- tween Marke: street and Clark avenue and Eleventn and Twelfth streets. ™ Missouri will find accommodations in Hyde Park, between Salisbury street and Bremen avenue, west of Fifteenth street. Of course the departments making the earll- est applications wili have the cboice of bes- tions. vision will be made for each division, although it has no t representation. Def. nite information of the numder of posts which will attend cannot at present be obtaloed. as they are compeiied to make known their re- — 2 intentions to the Assistant Adjutant- neral of the department to which the appli- cant belongs.

MADE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS. ? Many of the departments have made their own arrangements, either with the hotels, friends, or withthe private boarding estad- lishments in the city, without the interventioa of the committee, and of course no account of them or locations can possibly be given until they report at headquarters. 1 is estimated by Col. Coleman that at least one-third of the probable number which will attend have made their own arrangements. This wil grestiy reduce the demand for hotel accommodations, as at least another third will be quartered in tents throughout the city. 3 those who have selected their ows quarters is the Department of Arkaneas, which will ster 15 men atthe Hotel Hunt.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispaton. New YORK, July 28.—Great excitement was created by the story yesterday of the secret meeting of the American Association and the arrangements of Chris Von der Ahe to enter the League, but it was intensified by the report thatthe American Association was on the eve That is a fact most probable, of dissolution. and if Managing-Director Watrous of the Met- ropolitans, Zachary Phelps of Louisville and F. F. Robinson of Cleveland, cared to tell the truth they would not deny the assertion. As action of President Von der Ahe has created a the matter now stands the panic in the ranks of the Association, and Louisvile and Cleveland join him in clamoring for admittance to the League. The Mets’ end of the present season. When it was an- nounced a couple of months ago that the Mets would not be inthe Association another year a cry went up that the statement was But there is how no doubt of it.

O’Brien, Mays and Rad- ford will go to the New York League team, ORR HAS BEEN SOLD to Pittsburg and the other players have been engaged by various other League clubs. e is also the authority for the statement that, while Mr. Phelps and Mr. Robinson have not com- mitted themselves, they have virtually agreed that they will join the League if permitted to do so, and President Stern of Oincinnati is spoken of as a party to the movement. In or- der to make room tor at least two of these clubs, Indianapolis and Detroit will be dropped from the League and their players will be dis- tributed to strengthen other clubs. This bas long been thought of by the parties interested, and events have of late forced a more definite position of all concerned. It is even more probable than ever now that the twelve-ciub League scheme will be established. Brooklyn, Baltimore and the Athletics will be shut out, for develop- ments yesterday indicated that a majority of the clubs had combined against them. The Brooklyn Club is a special object of attack, and while hereabouts President Byrne is gen- erally popular, he is not looked on with favor by the other Association managers. Many of them declare that he has taken to himself too much authority, and they assert that all the ill-will in the Association is to be laid at his door. To those not on the inside, however, it has always been — — that President Byrne worked for the best interest ot theAssociation,and that much of ite present popularity is due to him. Speak- ing ofthe secret meeting, President Byrne said yesterday that Von der Ahe’s action was the result of Phy | headedness. He de- nounced Chris asafoolish man, and charac- terized the work of Comiskey and Welch, as so rufianly as to merit all the fines inflicted. He furthermore said thatas for the meeting on September 3, it would not amount to much, and thatVon der Ahe would be unable to secure the ousting of Wikoff and the election of a man of his choice. ‘*‘Wikoffis not my man, nor my tool,“ said Mr. Byrne, but I'll go to the front and fight tor him. e has been maligned because when I have ucted for the best interests of the Asso- ciation he has ratified my actions. Von der Ahe may leave the Association if he pleases, it will not hurt it. He will not help the League any and you can wager your hat he will soon wish he was again with the Association.’’ In regard to the trouble in the American Association, one of the visiting club mana- gers said vesterday: We have been talking things over for two or three days although we have had no regu- lar meeting We talked over many little mat- ters, some of which came out and others did not. I would like to say, however, on behalt of Mr. Byrne that in regard to Brooklyn Sun- day games the regular scheduled games will be played as heretofore, but where a game is changed from a week day toaSunday the visiting club will not get 40 per cent of the gate receipts.’’ President Byrne of the Brooklyn club said: don't believe that Mr. Von der Ahe will GO INTO THB LEAGUE but if he really intends to go all that I have to say „ for him to go. He will find different men to deal with inthe League than he does in the Association, and he will soon find that he does not amount to as muchas he thinks he does. The whole trouble arose from the fact that two or three clubs want the percent- age system adopted. There are St. Louis Cleveland, Louisville and the Mets, who all draw small crowds. Such clubs want the percentage plan. About my ac- tion in having Umpire Mitchell removed I don’t know what Von der Ahe is tainking of. Perhaps he forgot that he, too, signed the re- uest for Mitchell’s removal. In regard to the Sunday games,I offered Manager Caylor 40 ercent of the gate receipts next Sunday if e would get the Clevelands to change their date, which they did. Mr. Von der Ahe has made this attack on me for no reason that I know of, but Ithink he will be sorry for it in tus end. Do not understand that I make any threats, but he has quite overdone the thing. Another Account. New Yorn, July 28.—The Sun says: Another startling base ball sensation was started yes- terday. It was said that at least four of the American Association clubs were to resign. The fight in the Association has now as- to demoralize the orgaization, ag at least jour of the clubs ave threatened to Withdraw unless the percentage tom is adopted. Christ Von der Ahe made the first break, and the Louisville, Cleveland and Metropolitan Clubs are backing him up. Until mow itis a serious question as towhether the Association is or is not break ingup. The great few of the Association must act quick, for already the players of the sys- Metropolitan Club are 2 to be distributed among the clubs of the League.

Ball players of the Western teams declare that they are willing to make a fight against the reserve rule and sales abuse at an early date, and a fund is likely to be raised anda test case made. The remedy seems to be in larger contract terms. The players are also disposed to fight for more equitable contracts. President John B. Day of the New Yorks says: ‘‘I consider Mutrie a good manager, and there isn’t likely to be any change in that respect. He hasn't been able to get the pen- nant yet, but neither have the Detroits, and they believe they bave the best team and man- agerin the country. Every one believes it has the best team, and people always how! be- cause the home club loses. If New York hasn’t been able to win the pennant under Mutrie, neither have six other clubs with their man- agers. It is absurd to lay any blame there.

His players have developed into good men, and are in many respects superior to the stars ot last year's team. No one can now gainsay the fact that Anson is a bali club man- ager of remarkable foresight and good judg- ment.

Dr. Carver Smashes One Thousand Glass Balls in 38 Minutes 27 Seconds, By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcnu. NEw YORK, July 2.—Dr. W. F. Carver at Newark yesterday afternoon beat his own rec- ordin one of bis characteristic exhibitions, which are made possible by the use of repeat- ing shotguns, capable of being discharged six times in rapid succession. In arecent shot Carver smashed 1,000 composition balls two inches in diameter in d minutes. te per- formed the same feat yesterday in 38 minutes 27 seconds. Clad in tight trousers, a red shirt, a belt 7 inches wide at the back and afelt hat with a 65-inch brim, he stood between two tables in a pile of sawdust. On the table at his left was a pile of composition balls 2 inches in diameter; on his right were arranged six of the new Spencer repeating shot-guns. Oneof these guns was capable of firing eight shots and the others six each. Four men loaded them as fast as they were emptied. Carver put on a pair of spectacies shielded at the side with fine wire gauze and braced himself for the task. An active young man stood at thetable with six balls in his hand. When Carver said ‘‘go’’ he pitched the balls in rapid succession at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the doctor be- gan to pump shot from his gun. Each ball seemed to disappear in a puff of black dust as the crack of the rifle was heard. Once in a great while the doctor relieved the monotony missing a ball with the first shot and — it within a yard of the shot. Almost every ball was smashed within six yards ofthe muzzle of the gun. In the middie of the sixth hundred he found fault with the way his right arm was acting, and after vigorously swinging it after each round for aspelibe changed the guns to his left shoulder and continued to smash balls just as well. It took flve seconds only lo change guns, and Dr. Carver saw before the match was half over that, barring accidents, he had won easily. ‘‘How many more?’’ he asked toward the end, and was told he had oroken 1,000 and missed thirty-two. Then one ot the scorers announced that he must shoot one more, and picking up his gun he smashed another ball. Then a recount was made and the score stood: 1,002 broken and 82 missed. He used three drachms of American Wood powder and one ounce of No.8 shot. Im ey afterward he slipped to the front with J. L. Brewer of Philadelphia, and to- ther they shot at two, three and four balls rown from the hand. Both Brewer and Carver broke four balls in succession with the Spencer guns, and then the doctor ave one of his usual exhibitions with a 45-caliber Winchester rifle, breaking a brick in half and hitting both fragments before they reached the ground, shooting two or- anges thrown in the air at once, boring holes through coins thrown into the air, and smash- ing composition dalle as they were thrown straight away by a professional pitcher. It was understood that the Wood powder con- cern had promised to give Carver $1,000 if he broke 1, balls in thirty-nine minutes. About 600 persons saw the exhibition. -_ —— DWYERS’ BEST HORSE. y round with the — They Think Tremont Can Beat Hanever— The Stevens Stakes. A dispatch from New York says: ‘‘Almy hangs to him right along.’’ The speaker stood in the reporters’ stand at Monmouth Park looking at Hanover’s seventeenth race. It was for the Stevens Stakes at one mile and five-eighths, one furlong further than the un- beaten colt ever raced before. One hundred and twenty nominations had been made for the and Appleby & Johnson‘s filly 05 1 racer meet above remark was uttered, the pair making the run slong the back-stretch.

But McLaughlin soon — htened him with his well-trained hands and, coming on as he pleased, landed him winner of the stakes by four open lengths in an easy gallop. He carried 123 pounds against 8113. The stakes amounted to about $6,000, making the colt’s winnings to date more than $82,700, including the three races he won last year as a 2- year-old. Speaking of Hanover’s performances a vet- eran of the turf remarked that the Dwyer brothers must now acknowledge that the son of Hindoo was the greatest race-horse they ever owned. Jou are mistaken,’’ sald the secretary of a racing association, who has very close rela- tions with the brothers. I' tell you what I know. If it was not dangerous to run Tre mont while his tendon is in its present condl- tion the Dwyere would bet $100,000 to $80,000 that Tremont would beat Hanover.’’ Very few bvuokmakers would lay Hanover. An investor would have to put up $4,000 to win $100. The bookmakers reaped a rich harvest. Hindoo’s son was the only favorite that won. Derby and Oaks of 1889. The Racing Calendar contains nominations forthe Derby, the Oaks and Epsom Grand Prise to be run in 1889. Contrary to general expectation, the Derby for 1889 shows a slight increase, while both the Oaks and Grand Prize fall off considerably, as will seen by the against follow! table, showing the totals for the three s es for 1885 and since: 1885. 1886. 1887. 1888. 1889. eee 489 205 196 1 167 e 19 141 153 : : 1 Grand Prize.......... 21 246 206 2 There are no American nominations and but few from France in any of them. For the Derby the Prince of Wales has nominated the colt by Hermit out of Bonnie Doon. The larg- estentries are seven each by Mr. Manton (Duchess of Montrose) and Mr. Benzon, the latter being the famous ‘‘jubiiee piunger’’ who has won and lost considerable money this year, including the sum of £10,000 in one bet at the odds of 10 tolon. Among his nom- inations is acolt by Foxhall. Lord Rosebery has alsotwo by the same sire. n the nominations for the Oaks the Duke of West- minster, is responsible for a sister to Or monde, which he has named Fleur de Lis, and Sir Tatton Sykes has nominated a sister to Merry Hampton, the winner of this year’s Derby, which be has named the Merry One, for the Derby, Oaks and Grand Prize. Among the other nominations for the Grand Prize are five by B. Ellam, father of A. B. Ellam, they in- clude three colts and a fly by Valour and a colt by Master Kildare. The Baird cousins are well represented, Mr. Abington making five nominations each forthe Derby, Grand Prize and Oaks, while Mr. Douglas has four in the Derby, five in the Grand Prize and one in the Oaks. The female nominators other than Mr. Manton’’ are Miss Knox Gore, who has one in the Derby, Mrs. Theobald, who has one each in the Derby and Grand Prize, Mrs. Eyke, who has two in the Grand Prize and Madam H. A. Jennings with one in the Oaks. Jockey Jamieson Dead. CHICAGO, III., July 28.—Jockey Jamieson, who was injured last Saturday in a hurdle race at the West Side Driving Park, died last night of his injuries. Latonia Grand Stand Destroyed. CINCINNATI, O., July 2%.—A cyclone and waterspout destroyed the grand stand at the Latonia race-track last evening. The force of the wind was so great as to twist the rafters like so many screws, and the pool sheds, fences and stables were also badly damaged. The loss will reach $25,000. A MODERN HERCULES. Something of Jem Smith, Who Is to Fight the Champion. Jem Smith is childishly fond of his great strength and possesses a delightful degree of confidence in bis ability to take care of bim- self, says a cable correspondent. He remarked as he patted the corded muscles tenderly and approvingly: ‘‘That’s what does the punchin’ and gets em ready for this one, and he rolled up his right sleeve, displaying a collec- tion of bone, sinew and muscle that was abso- lutely appalling and looked entirely ab- normal. It could be compared only to a well-developed ham at the thickest part, and differed from that product in ap- pearance only because knots and ridges as bigasaman’s fist were formed under the skin as if large-sized snakes had crawled in there to live. Thats my pet, said Smith. I uses it to put em to sleep when the other’s done punchin’ is belly. My advice to; Americans is to let words, and not monéy, express their patriotism over this fight. Only one man, our real champion, the only John L. Sullivan, was built with the idea of whipping this man Smith; and Sullivan himself would need to be in fairly good form tu assume the task. Isaw this same Smith box Mitchell and Toff Wall, and both were as babies in bis hands. When he fought Green- field in France Greenfield was badly beaten in the second round. Jem Smith is of short stature and does not pessoas the Grecian model that has made Sul- ivan the joy of artists as well as the pride of prize-fighters, but he has the most perfect specimen of a fighting body I have ever seen. eis a perfect human buil-dog. His legs are short and so muscular as to present the appearance of being deformed. His waist is suialland his chest is frightfully deep and measures 44 inches. He is only 5 feet 8% 4 — in height and will fight at 176 unds but they will be ounds ot solid bone and muscle. is hands are large, even tremendous, and need every bit of his thick wrists to carry them. They are shaped for all the world like Sullivan’s, with the same spreading out in a half circle beyond the fingers and with bunches of mus- cle where the thumbs join the hand, which are edifying to look upon. Should a sculptor desire to carve out an ex- aggerated idea ot Hercules he would want no becter model to copy from than Smith’s neck. It is short, squareiy shaped, and of precisely the same color as his entire face—a dark, ma- hogany red, brightening in tone a little when his thin-cut, rather small mouth breaks into a laugh or when he tosses offa glass of cham- pagne. is face is big and as nearly square as it is possible fora man’s visage to be, the jaws running straight back from the chin with no upper tendency. His eyes are brown and set deep, entirely out of the way of trouble. His forehead is, 22 a little over an inch in height, and is surmounted by a profusion of short reddish-yellow curis. A deep cut under the right eyebrow is his most striking mark, but fittle ouges which appear to have been the result of contacts with unfriendly nails or teeth are scattered thickly over his face. Thongh they are scarcely perceptible by reason of its uniform redness, they tell the story of his early career when his bull-dog tenacity was developing irce from any scientific restraint. Smith is paipably delighted at the prospect of the coming fight. He has had much expe- rience with his bare knuckles, which I believe Kilrain has not. On his right hand he wears a big ring with a common white stone. I am afraid that he will change that common white stone fur a diamond next January, unless Kil- rain shows himself to be a very good man. — — BRADBURN WON. Five Minutes.

Bradburn’s visit to St. Louis in the winters of 1886 will be remembered by claimed, he stood up before John L. Sullivan, of America, for wit Marx. Marx became talkative and before he was through the Chicago heavy-weight decorated the walls with chunks of his hair which stuck to them by the force with which his head came into contact with them. Of course after Bradburn had demonstrated his ability to crack doors and spoil brick walls with Marx’s person the man who faced Sullivan had nad quite enough of him, and the next day disappeared from the city. The M. A. A. C. Meeting. The programme of the midsummer meeting of the Missouri Amateur Athletic Club is au- nounced, with the entries and handicaps, There are the usual events on the card, sev- enteen of them, and all interesting. By way of variety the second event will be a lawn teanis match by members of two local clubs. Mr. W. C. Adams of the Manhattan Athletic Club who is to run with Joe Murphy, tho local sprinter champion, in a 220 yards race arrived last night from New York and visited the Union Park. Mr. Adams is looking well and ia in the pink of condition. He fancies that he will give Murphy a hard race at the M. A. A. C. meet Saturday. The Modocs Won. In the pair-oared race at the regatta of the National Association at Chautauqua,yesterday, the St. Louis Modoc crew—Alex Bachelor and Fred M. Gastrich—won. They rowed the Mu- tuals of Albany, and the Eurekas of New York, a lively race, and were two lengths * at the Unten. This was a big victory for . uis. THE PERALTA GRANT. Romantic Revelations Concerning the Title to the Valuable Property. SA FRANCISCO, Cal., July 28.—Prominence is given here to certain facts in connection with the organization for the Casa Land Com- pany, Organized at Cheyenne, Wyo., with a capital stock of $25,000,000. Edward Stokes of New York, J. A. Belson of this city, and John A. Reavis of Missouri are directors of the com- pany. The company was organized to im- prove the Peraita grant, lying between Pho- nix and Tucson, in Arizona, and consisting of 5,000,000 acres. The land was original owned by Don Peralta, an old Spanis settler, who obtained a tent from the Mexican Government. Under the stipulations of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the United States Government agreed to respect the old Spanish titles. Peraita died, leaving, it is claimed. an only son, surviving heir to his es- tate. Many yours ago the son wentto Spain and died in the Castilian Capital. No claimant | appeared to the estate until three years ago, when Reavis appeared with a dark-complex- ioned native California girl. about 18 years of age, whom he had married and whom he claimed to be the grand-daughter of Don Peralta and heir to the now ve valuable Peralta grant. To strengthen his claim he made a trip to Spain and about six months ago returned, bringing with him an elaborate parchment from the authorities at Madrid, conveying to his wife, who was there recognized as the daughter of Don Peralta, a perfect title to the Peralta grant, and she was further honored by having the title of 2 of the Colorados conferred upon er. The Examiner of this city prints an inter- view with ai resident of Woodland, Yolo County, Cal., claiming that the irl is the daughter ot a Missourian named Preadwel by an Indian woman. She worked or a number of Woodland families until mar- ried to Reavis. Onthe other hand, Director Benson asserts that she is Spanish, and makes the statement that the girl's mother died at San Diego at the girl’s birth, and that the lat- ter aceompanied Peraita to Woodland, where he died, and thegiri fell into the hands of Treadwell, who was a sheepwerder. The pub- lication has occasioned more than ordinary in- terest, owing to the prominence of the men said tobe interested in the tract, including Robert G. Ingersoll, Frank Hurd and others.

NO DECISION IN THE SUNDAY LAW Caspy UNTIL SEPTEMBER. Judge Adams’ Opinion in an Analogons Case Upon the Powers of 2 Court of Equity—The Bohn Will Admitted to Pro. bate—New Suits Filed Under the Dome To-Day— Matters in Litigation. Counsel in the citizens’ mandamus proceed. ings against the Police Board and the Prose. cuting-Attorney and his assistant, relative to enforcement of the Sunday law, have not yet furnished Judge Valiiaut with their briefs. The Prosecuting-Attorney was granted until Monday next to file his answer or return to the writ in his case, after which there will probably be a day set for the hear. ing. The Police Board case was submitted on Saturday, but as an appeal to the Supreme Court would not lice until October the Circuit Judge will not render a decision in that case probably before September, in time to allow the transcript to be prepared for the court of last resort. The powers of a court of equity in proceed. ings of this character were clearly defined in a case before the Circuit Court four years since, Judge Adams in February, 1883, rendered an elaborate decision, refusing the injunction suit sought by the Circuit Attorney agains the proprietors of Uhrig’s Cave, to restrain the sale of liquors at that resort. The petition alleged that a large number of persons were injured by deterioration in the value of their property on account the saloon being in the immediate — and that the criminal courts, on account of the slowness of procedure, difficulties attending expensive trials, insufficiency of penal stat. utes and popular prejudice, were unable to furnisha a remedy for the State. Che question was whether the suppression of such a nuisance was within the jurisdiction of a court ot equity. Chancellor Kent held in the suit of the Attorney-General aguinst the Utica Ins ce Company, that it a charge be of a criminal nature or an offense against the pub- lic and does not touch the enjoyment of 7 it ought not to be brought within the direct jurisdiction of a court of equity, which was intended to dea! with matters of civil right resting in equity, oe the remedy of law was not sufficiently Chancery takes no part inthe ad ministration of criminal law, it neither aids the criminal courts in the exercise of criminal jurisdiction nor restrains or obstructs them. It would seem incongruous and improper for the court of equity to interfere in cases of public nuisance. The very fact that cases of that character are offenses againstthe community and savor of criminality in a greater or less degree would seem to distinguish them as matters not proper to de deult with by a court o equity. If the relators seek to abate the nuisance the proper course is by indictment at common law. Even if individuals, instead of the state, were seeking relief against the alleged nuisance, on the grounds of injury to prop erty, the discomfort or injury which could be made the basis of equitable interference would need be of a physical sort, and not such as depends upon taste, imagination or moral notion. Judge Adams said: Although many of the States of the Union have strong prohibitory and license laws regulating the sale of liquors, and although in Maine, Massachusetss, Ohio, Indt- ana and Kansas the keeping of a dratnshop without a license is declared by Statute to be a ublic nuisance, no case has been found where the relief asked for in this case has been granted, nor any other case than one in Kansas where it has even been asked for.’’ In order to sustain jurisdiction in equity the injury sought to be enjoined must be such us the law cannot adequately redress, and this principle applies to cases seeking relief in equity against nuisances, whether the same be public or private. It is doubtful if the State should be heard to complain of not having an adequate reinedy against crime, especially so in respect of of- fenses concerning which it has legislated at all. The State in this particular case has pro- vided itself with machinery for suppression and punishment which must be held so far as the State is concerned adequate to Ita needs. If the penalties in the law be not deemed suff. cient in any given case to preserve order and obedience to the law, the Legislature must amend the law and provide remedies mors adequate. A Brother Excluded. The will of Julius J. Bohn was admitted to probate to-day. The testator bequeaths all of his property, real and personal, to his brothers, Henry, Peter, George, Louis and Edward, in equal shares. He adds: I have P sely excluded my brother Nicholas and my sister Lizzie from N share in my estate, though it is my desire that my sister Lizzie shall receive the amount payable at my death by the Catholic Knights of America, the cer- tificate being now In her favor. I appoint my brother Henry as executor, and direct that he shall not be required to give bond.’’ The will was witnessed by Joseph T. Donovan and Cnarles E. Giraldin. New Suits Filed. Samuel D. Warren has instituted proceed- ings in the Circuit Court against Daniel Cav- anagh to object of which is to enjoin Mr. Cav- anagh from quarrying operations within the city limits without the consent of property- owners and residents located within 300 feet of the quarry.

Many of these ladies were mothers themselves and Mr. Heverin congratulated himself in having been thrown in a company where $1,000 or 80 could be raised in five minutes without the owners feeling it.

Provisions were d and featureless, with lard moderately active and steady. Wheat opened weak on rumors of free de- liveries inthe Northwest and a poor demand for flour. Those who been good buyers in the pasttwo days seemed ous to real- ize, and the market dropped %c, but later, on rumors of less favorable crop reports from France and a good export trade at thé sea- board, the market was better and closed with the decline mostly regained and the situation healthy.

Wheat—The receipts of over 267,000 bu to- day sent the market down %@%c this morn- ing, the bears, with the war-cry of Too much wheat, completel controlling the situ- ation for the st hour and viciously attacking prices from the start. There was enough dullness in European cables and weaknessin the markets of this country to ive them courage also, and the demand com- ng from the shorts alone was not of the sup- porting kind. The strength in corn alone stayed the decline, though it did not help the market much otherwise. Ail other speculative centers recov- ered from their lowest points late in the session and were especially firm, but the selling here was so continuous and confident that it was a matter of impossibility to get prices up more than %c from the bottom. he close, too, was weak and seie below yesterday.

Corn—The rains reported in Kansas that broke yesterday's market were undoubted fabrications, as the weather report of this morning indicated that no rains have fallen in the past twenty-four hours in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri or Llinois, the great corn-raising States. There were, too, numerous complaints of damage received, some reporting the corn ‘‘firing’’ in certain sections. These and the weather caused a complete change in the feeling, reviving the drooping spirits of the bulls and rendering the bears cautious. There was not enough ‘‘re- vive, however, on one side to bring out ac- tive bu ing and ‘‘caution’’ was not so de- velopedas to keep the other side from sell- ing on any fair 1 4 This made asee-suw market during the morning, but it finally became strongenough to go up still higher in price, though falling back late.

Offerings including those left overfrom the day before made up a very fair supply, but un- der the general good demand and the im- proved feeling that prevailed the pens were mi cleared of everything on sale. Grass ogs were very weak and whenever any were found in a bunch of hogs the were thrown out and were hard to sell at anything like decent prices, There was not so much demand for Yorker weights for shipments, but they were quoted at $5.10@5.20. Packers and city butchers bought freely paying from $5.10@5.50, the outside figure be ng the top for the day. Other sales were to speculative traders at a range from $5.00@5.25. The close was steady.

Judge Adams’ Opinion in an Analogons Case Upon the Powers of a Court of Equity—The Bohn Will Admitted to Pro. bate—New Suits Filed Under the Dome To-Day— Matters in Litigation. Counsel in the citizens’ mandamus proceed. ings against the Police Board and the Prose. cuting-Attorney and his assistant, relative to enforcement of the Sunday law, have not yet furnished Judge Valliaut With their briefs. The Prosecuting- Attorney Was return to the writ in his case, after which there will probably be a day set for the hear. ing. The Police Board case was submitted on Saturday, but as an appeal to the Supreme Court would not lie until October the Circuit Judge will not render a decision in that Case probably before September, in time to allow the transcript to be prepared for the court of last resort. The powers of a court of equity in Proceed. ings of this character were clearly defined ing case before the Circuit Court four years since Judge Adams in February, 1883, rendered an elaborate decision, refusing the injunction suit sought by the Circuit Attorney against the proprietors of Uhris's Cave, to restrain the sale of liquors at that resort. The petition alleged that a large number of persons were injured dy deterioration in the value of their property on acco the saloon being in the immediate wien ne and that the criminal courts,on account of the slowness of procedure, difficulties attendin expensive trials, insufficiency of penal stat. utes and popular prejudice, were unable to furnisha a remedy for the State. Che question was whether the suppression of such a nuisance was within the jurisdiction ot a court ot equity. Chancellor Kent held in the suit of the Attorney-General aguinst the Utica Ins ce Company, that if a charge be of « criminal nature or an offense against the pub. lic and does not touch the enjoyment of roperty, it ought not to 5 brought within the direct jurisdiction of a court of equity, which was intended to deal —— of — right resting in equity r where the remedy of law w siently adequate. y as not sufficiently Chancery takes no part inthe administration of criminal law, it neither aids the criminal] courts in the exercise of criminal jurisdiction nor restrains or obstructs them. It would seem incongruous and improper for the court of equity to interfere in cases of public nuisance. The very fact that cases of that character are offenses against the community and savor of criminality in a greater or less degree would seem to distinguish them as matters not a to de dealt with by a court o equity. If the relators seek to abate the nuisance the proper course is by indictment at common law. Even if individuals, instead of the State were seekin relief against the alleged nuisance, on the grounds of injury to prop- erty, the discomfort or injury which pode - be made the basis of equitable interference would need be of a physical sort, and not such as depends ‘upon taste imagination or moral notion. Judge Adams said: ‘‘Although miany of the States of the Union have strong prohibitory and license laws regulating the sale of liquors, and although in Maine, Massachusetss, Ohio, Indt ana and Kansas the keeping of a dramshop without a license is declared by statute to be a public nuisance. no case has been found where the relief asked for in this case has been granted, nor any other case than one in Kansas where it has even been asked for.’’ In order to sustain jurisdiction in equity the injury sought to be enjoined must be such as the law cannot adequately redress, and this principle applies to cases seeking relief in equity against nuisances, whether the same be public or private. It is doubtful if the State should be heard to complain of not having an adequate remedy against crime, especially so in respect of of. fenses concerning which it has legislated at all. The State in this particular case has pro- vided itself with machinery for suppression and punishment which must be held so far us the State is concerned adequate to Its needs. If the penalties in the law be not deemed suff. cient in any given case to preserve-order and obedience to the law, the Legislature must amend the law and provide remedies worse adequate. : A Brother Excluded. The will of Julius J. Bohn was admitted to probate to-day. The testator bequeaths all of his property, reat and personal, to his brothers, Henry, Peter, George, Louis and Edward, in equal shares. He adds: ‘‘I have P sely excluded my brother Nicholas and my sister Lizzie from any share in my estate, though it is my desire that my sister Lizzie shall receive the amount payable at my death by the Catholic Knights of America, the cer- tificate being now in her favor. I appoint my brother Henry as executor, and direct that he shall not be required to give bond.’’ The will was witnessed by Joseph T. Donovan and Cnarles E. Giraldin. New Suits Filed. Samuel D.

On Tuesday there was published in the Daily News the story of a poor woman who. deserted by her husband, was driven to seek shelter in a rickety stable at Twenty-third and Wood streets, where alone in the darkness she gave birth to a babe. The article the attention of Lawyer James H. Heverin, who was at ge Girt, and, beli that such a pa- thetic recital could not fail to arouse womanly sympathy, he cli it out, pasted it on a sheet of foolscap paper, and, putt his own name down fora center-table in a conspicuous part of the hotel parlor. At Sea Girt on Tuesday there was repre- sented probably $50,000,000 of carital. There were a number of society belles with caramel-fed pugs, and quite a gathering of dowagers, who, during the ter, de- vote an hour or two a week to discussing the wants and needs of the heathen of the Sandwich Islands. Many of these ladies were mothers themselves and Mr. Heverin congratulated himself in havi been thrown in a company where $1,000 or 80 could be raised in five minutes without the owners feeling it. He sat down and waited and watched that center-table. A newspaper clipping always attracts attention among women, sad in less than ten minutes every woman in the house had read the details of the sad story. This was the result: A dozen sireers, half adozen shoulder shrugs, but nota solitary nickel. Nay, not even a kindl word. In their expensive robes and wit fortunes blazing at their fair throats in diamonds these women passed by the ap- al which ofall others draws out true womanhood with less attention then they would givetothe yelping of one of their lap-dogs. awyer Haverin tore up the paper in anger, packed his grip and came home.

Reed, the Defender ef Guiteau, Charged With Till-Tapping. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcu. New YORE, July 28.—At 6 o’clock yesterday morning a seedy-looking man entered Rich’s restaurant, Jersey City, and ordered some- thing to eat. While he was eating the food, the waiter, Martin, was called away from be- hind the cashier’s counter. Returning to the counter, he was surprised to see the seedy- looking customer behind it. Mr. Martin rushed upand caught the man with his hand in the money drawer. He seized the man by the wrist with one hand and with the other grasped the money drawer. Martin told one of the waiters to call Mr. Rich, who quickly appeared. Then the clerk let go of the man, and he was told to open his hand. He did, and, as Mr. Rich alleged, dropped two 50-cent pieces. After the head- waiter had ex- plained the affair, Mr. Rich turned to the stranger and said: Reed, I am 89 ou have fallenas lowas this,and if Idid not know what you used to be, I'd have you ar- rested. I give you fair warning, thatif you ever enter my restaurant I’ll have you kicked out. He then ordered the man out of his place. The man was Charles Reed, formerly State's- Attorney in Chicago, who, with Geo. Scoville, defended Guiteau, the murderer of President Garfield. After defending Guiteau he married in Washington and opened a law office in this city. Some two years ago he got into trouble about the ＋ — 2 — tion of a check for $1,500, signed m. Campbell, the paper manufacturer. Was arrested, but the matter was compromised. Afterwards Reed removed to Jersey City and went to Taylor's Hotel. He had considerable Charles money which he spent freely and foolis ly. He remained at the hotel until ebruary last, when be was notified that if he did not pay his bill he would have to leave. He could not pay and his trunk was seized and he was told to vacate. He has since then stayed at the hotel, but had to pay pry A A day in advance. Reed took his dinners at Rich's restaurant. Reed was seen by the POsT- DISPATCH reporter last night. He admit- ted that he had a little trouble with the clerk in the restaurant, but denied the story told by Rich and Martin as given above.

By Telegraph to the PostT-DIspatcH PHILADELPHIA, Pa., July 28.—Down in the poorest part of the city a little girl, who could scarcely find food or clothing enough to keep her body warm,became interested in a woman living in the neighborhood and determined to he!p her. The little girl heard that once on a time a little boy got his mother into a beauti- ful home forthe aged by collectinga million postage stamps, and she went about from of- fice to office and told them she wanted stamps, and she gained so much sympathy and aroused so much interest in her case, that now — half a million stamps have been col- lected and ure in possession of Dr. J. G. Fling of Germantown. Many prominent, charitable and society people in this city took a deep in- terest in the collection, yet not one of them knowing of the woman. Stamps have been received from ali the large cities and towns of the State. The collection became a craze among the society people. Mrs. Peterman, for whom the little girl was making the col- lection, was surprised to learn what was being done for her, and said she did not desire to go to the home.

A SCHEME TO ORGANIZE A YOUNG MEN'S NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC LEAGUE. ot the Project Undertaken by the Young Men’s Democratic Club of New York—Report of the Special Cemmittee— The Plan und Principles of the Proposed Organization. 4 By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH- a New Tonk, July %.—The Young Men's Democratic Club has made up its mind to have a say in the nomination of the next President. It has a cut-and-dried scheme with the above as its objective point. What is it? A scheme secking the formation of a Young Men's National Democratic League, which, if established, is to send a delegate to the National Convention. An organizing com- mittee has been appointed andis bracing up its nerves for solid business assoon as the weather cools a little. Here are the details of the pretty project: Last fall, the club detailed E. J. Donnell, A. W. Spier, Roger Foster, R. G. Munroe, G. 8. Davidson, G. W. VanNest and Edward B. Whitney as a committee to take into consid- eration the report upon the expediency of promoting the foundation of Young Men's Democratic Olubs in all parts of the United States, to be affiliated with the New York Club and to unite therewith in agitating for reforms in the direction of a pure Democracy.’’ A fa- vorable report resulted. Then a special com- mittee was to ponder over ways and means to accomplish the project. This culminated in a definite plan, which the club members unani- mously adopted at a special meeting convened forits consideration. Sincethen President F.R. Coudert selected Samuel Greenbaum, John H. Arnold, Henry B.B. Staples, E. B. Whitney and A. W. Spier asan Executive Committee. These gentlemen are impatiently awaiting the hour when they will set in motion the ma- chinery that is to collect in one mighty pba- lanx all the young Democrats in the country for a reformatory campaign. Meanwhile, Wm. E. Curtis, secretary of the club, has formulated a report which is to be printed and circulated broadcast over America. This doc- ument, which promises to become historically interesting, reads as follows: THE REPORT. The special committee to whom was re- ferred the matter of reporting a practical plan for promoting the formulation of Young Men’s Democratic Clubs throughout the country, respectfully reports thatit has duly considered the exhaustive and able report of the special committee, heretofore presented to the club, and it herewith submits to your consideration the following as a plan for carrying into effect the main points of the re- port: 1. To assist encouraging the formation of Young Men’s Democratic Clubs throughout the country with the ultimate object of form- ing a Young Men’s Democratic League, com- posed of all the clubs contemplated, organ- ized in accordance with the principles and upon the basis herein set forth. ORGANIZING CLUBS. 2. To have a committee of five appointed by the President, whose duty it shall be toen- courage the formation of such clubs, to in- vestigate the character and qualifications of applicants desiring to organize clubs, and to obtain pledges from them as to their adherence to the fundamental principles below set forth, which committee upon being satisfied as to the character of the applicants, nay proceed to organize such clubs. That said committee shall request the members of this (New York) club to furnish names of persons in other cities who are likely to take an active part in the formation of clubs. Thatupon the forma- tion of the Central League he@ewith de- scribed, the functions of this committee shall’ cease. * A NATIONAL CONVENTION. 8. To hold as soon as twenty clubs shall have been formed and provided they shall be fully organized for work, a convention of all the clubs for the permanent organization and establishment of a Central Young Men's Dem- ocratic League, at which convention shall be established a platform of the principles and laws 1 to the future management of the ague, the formation of new clubs, basis of representation and such other matters as such convention shall determine. No law or rule to be adopted by said first convention, however, shall go into effect unless ratified by at least two-thirds of the representative clubs The basis of representation to the first conven- tion shall be one representative for each club, and an additional representative for every fi(ty contributing members in good standing in each club. THE PRINCIPLES. 4. To entitle any club to admission into the League, it shall be necessary for such club to subscribe and pledge itself to support the fol- lowing specific principles: A.

MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. Short Sessions to Advance the Public Im- provement Bills. The early part of the session of the Council was occupied last night in the execution of a public drinking fountain bill. It was pro- posed to establish a fountain at Jefferson and Chouteau avenues. Some of the Councilmen claim that these bills are introduced by Dele- gates forthe accommodation of saloon-keep- ers, who wantto escape paying water licenses. This bill was fathered by Delegate Matt Ryan in the House, and Councilman O'Malley in the Council. A numberof fountain bills now in the House will probably be dealt with in the same way. he Council adjourned after. reading some unimportant bills. THE HOUSE. A short session of the House of Delegates was held last night. Several improvement bills were advanced. The bill to vacate Main street from Mallinckrodt street to Salisbury street was passed. The House concurred in the Council amendments to the St. Louis Rail- way franchise extension bill. The bill to im- peeve Caroline street from La Motte’s addi- ion to Ewing avenue and Windsor place from Alphonsus to Vandeventer avenue were also assed. The bill to extend the cabie road to orest Park was laid on the desk and the House adjourned. Elmer K. Thompson Recovering. Mr. Louis D. Picot received a letter to-day from his sister, Mrs, Elmer k.

Last Year of the Great Trail—Encroach- ments of Settlers on the Range Territory —The Old System Dying Out—New Methods Applied to the Range Business— Conservatism of St. Louis Investors— Local Interests in the Western Ranches. There has been a wonderful depreciation in the value of cattle, and, in consequence, there has been a great decrease in the number of persons willing to risk money made in busi- ness with which they were thoroughly con- versant. Men who, by steady application to sure, safe, but small ways of gaining money now and then get a crazo to raise cat- tle, to mine or to build railroads, The cattle rage reached ite height in 1883, and since that time ranching has attracted less and less at- tention from that element. But cattle men who have spent their lives in the business do not think itis in a very bad way. The signs seen by the cautious capitalists, they say, are only the evidences of a change in the method of conducting the business. There will be a very large margin of profit still. In 1888 prices reached their high-water mark,’’ said A. r. ATWATER of Hunter, Evans & Co. A at@er that weighed 1,000 pounds would bring $70. I remember we bought a lot that averaged 1,000 at that price in 1888. The same animal in the same place to-day would not bring over $32.50. Texas steers have been soldin the National Stock Yards for $25.’’ „What has caused this drop in prices?“ ‘‘Overproduction. Ihe large profits made before 1883 attracted the attention of a great many moneyed men, and they went into the business of raising cattle. Prices were bound to go down. „Will not the settlement of the range coun- try cause prices to go up?’’ On the contrary, a very large part of the overproduction was caused by tbat settle- ment. The narrowing of the range limits has been marvelous. Five years ago we had a range of 30,000 acresin Kansas. It has been entered by the homesteader, and tbere is now not arange in Kansas. The increase of popu- lation in Texas has gradually encroached upon the range territory until there are no ranges there any more. We talked of a permanent trail from Texas to Montana in the first cattle convention three years ago. It looked possible then. Itis impossible now. You will find, I think, that this year will see the last ot the trail. All cattle hereafter to be transported will be ‘railed.’ Idon’t know now what range country there is left—there is some; dut in a year or two it will be filled u with farmers. Every farmer is a stock-raiser in a limited way, and the acreage of grass be puts in will yield more beef than under the range sys- tem. Has not the great depreciation in values resulted in great losses to St. Louis in- ves tore?“ Very little money has been lost, but none has been made for three years or more. Most of the St. Louis investors were very cautious. They were as conservative in the cattle business as — were reckless in the mining craze. Generally they associated themselves with old cattle men, and their business was well managed. But there has been a great change in the method of managing ranches. At one time, not so many years ago, a man who wanted to buy cattle would go toan owner andgask him how many head he had. The owner would sg I put 10,000 head on the range last year. Have a bad winter? the buyer would ask, and an estimate would be given of the number lost. Then the bayer would make an offer f 80 much for the cattle on the range, and if accepted the bargain would be closed. That isn’t done now. Before a sale is made the cattle are rounded up, let through gates one at a time, and the buyer brands them, paying so much for the l-year-olds, so much for the 2-yeuar- olds, and s0 on, as they are delivered to him. Then he knows what he is getting. Nomancan tell how — cattle he has until they are rounded up. No one ever pretends to know. Then, too, expenses have been cut down. The boys don’t have the liberties allowed them they formerly had. In the old days it was impossible to tell what the expenses of a ranch really were, there was such lavish expenditure and little account keeping. The men only knew at the end of the season whether they had made money by the amount in bank. Now business principles are applied and the expenses are kept within le- gitimate bounds, It is possible now to know exactly what the cattle cost and what they can be sold for. So the business is really on a bet- ter footing than ever before. There is not 80 much waste. ST. LOUIS INTERESTS IN CATTLE. This view of. the situation ia shared by but very few of the St. Louisans who have risked their money in the business, They are not considering apy new investments and are rather secking to get out of old entangle- ments. The Washita Cattle Company, a Texas corporation in which Mr. Rolla Welisis the principal stockholder, is winding up its af- fairs. The company was one of the lessees in the Cherokee strip and had a Texas ranch. It made some money, but not lately, and is now dropping out to avoid loss. It ranked high in the listof companies in which st. Lowisans had interest, being not more than fifth in point of investment. Others are following this example, but they are the few. G. C. Rainwater has confidence in the future, as have his associates in the Rainwater Cattle — 122 The stock in this corporation is held by Rainwater, W. E. Bradford, A, Rrad- ford and Frank Ely of the Ely-Walker Dry Goods Company to the aggregate amount of $100,000. The company was formed in April 1836, and is the latest investment in the business by St. uis men. The have a ten-years le 0 118.000 acres in the Otoe Reservation 2 Territory, and though the company owes the stockholders $26,000 money advanced they are confident of waking a fortune eventually. John H. Maxon is heavily interested in a Mon- tana ranch that is by no means thorough] worthless as an investment. It has bot pai heavily of iate but has lost its owners nothing. Edward Martin is the capi- talist of the firm Martin & Cobb is partner furnishing the knowl of the business. They have over $100,000 in cattle, and will come out this year ahead of have done even better. They were in the Cherok now are in Texas. G. S.

E. 8. Newman owns — — of ios N stock, and was interested with Hunter & Evans in the Comanche Land & Cattle Company, which wound up after the Cherokee strip leases were annulled. E. 8. Newman lives most ot the time lu El Paso Tex., but owns property in St. Louis an has $50,000 invested in Vandeventer place. John C. Orrick is said to be interested in the Niobrara in a small way. It is an exceedingly well-managed Compete, being in the hands of ractical cattle men. unter & Evans, which s the firm interested in stock-raising,jand dis- tinct from the commission firm, Hunter, Evans & Co., could have sold their interests Half that sum Tex., where the President, W. 8. Hughes, and Manager John N. Simpson reside. Mr. Hughes is siden of the Exchange Bank of Dalla, and Simpson Is its Vice-President. The Continental has -been ranked firstof St. Louis companies. It has aid-up capital of $2,591,000 and large ranches n Texas and the Northwest. Careful manage- ment has saved the stockholders from loss, and a reaction in the business, now that prices have gotten so low, would put money in their purses. F. C. Sterling owns some of the val- uable stock. The St. Louis Cattle Company suc- ceeded F. E. Udell, now of the ovident Chemical-works, and Charles Schmieding in business. It isa Texas corporation, in Which stock is owned by the Hamiltonu-Brown Shoe Company. The ranch is near Colorado City, Tex., and consists of 30,000 to 40,000 acres with range rights to 60,000 more. The capital stock is $250,000, and itis very good stock to have. The general opinion is the company will come asnearasany to making money this year. Exact information is not obtainable. These are the principal St. Louts interests. Numbers of business men who would not be suspected of diverting one cent from their business own stock in cattle companies, though few beside those above mentioned are directly interested. ‘Chese have done most of the losing, but, as has been said, the losses all around are lighter than the tremendous de- preciation in values suggests. ILLINOIS BUCKET-SHOP LAW. How the Act of the Legislature is Ren- dered Valueless. CHICAGO, III., July 28.—The act of the Legis- lature making bucket-shops illegal, was pro- nounced in Judge Horton’s Court, by Attorney Sidney Smith, yesterday, to have been ren- dered substantially valueless through the ease with which a bucket-shop may secure an ex- parte injunction restraining the Chicago Board of Trade from denying them quotations. State Legislator Henry Decker a couple of weeks ago procured an ex-parte in- junction trom the Cireult Court in the case of several shops against the Board of Trade and the Western Union Tele- graph Company, restraining them from catting off the complainants’ quotations. Jadge Smith went before Judge Horton yester- day to have the injunction dissolved. e said it was useless for the Legislature to pass acts and the Board of Trade to take stepsto clean out objectionable dealers in grain if the courts were going to practically tie their hands by injunctions. Further than this, the issues involved in this case were ident cally the same as those recently decided in a case by Judge Bagby. The rule of the Circuit Court was that when one judge settled the law, other judges in the same court would refuse to change it, else this case must be argued before eleven judges. What was the use of multiplying the number of judges if they were all to try the same ques- tion. The Board of Trade was tied up by an injunction in a case similar in all respects to a case it had won, and it was not allowed un- tie itself. Jude Horton finally agreed to let the matter lie over until Monday, when Judge Tuley will probably take it up. OUR NEIGHBORS. Items of Interest and Gossip From Adja- cent Towns.
