Wm. Thomas Abbott West. How a Methodist Preacher Eloped With a Pretty Working Girl and Probably Mur- dered Her in This City—The Story of Their Love, Elopement, Misery and the Poor Girl’s Death—A Terrible Discovery When the Body Is Exhumed—The Post- Mortem This Morning—Dr. Blickhahn’s Report—Scene at the Morgue—tThe Sad Story of a Girl’s Infatuation and a Vil- lainous, Deep-Dyed Crime. The Abbott case this morning assumed the proportions of a sensation which in interest is second only to the Preller case, which is now nearing its tragic close. So far there is no doubt that behind the death of the friendless and unhappy young woman who mether fate so mysteriously at 718 North Jefferson avenue there is a guilty romance. Whether the end will bring forth the story ofadark and terrible tragedy only thorough investigation can prove. The cir- cumstances point to foul play of the blackest type of criminal brutality. They point to the ruin of an innocent, hard-working girl, and then the encompassing of her death by a cler- ical scoundrel and hypocrite. Annie Abbott, the supposed wife of the al- leged Thomas Abbott, is proved to have been Susan Beck, the daughter of George O. Beck, a poor man who lives in Chesterton, Ind. Thomas Abbott, as the author of her ruin and her supposed murderer was known here, is proved almost beyond the shadow of a doubt to be William Thomas Abbott West, a Metho- dist preacher and the pastor of the Methodist Church at Chesterton, Ind. the supposed Mrs. Abbott died here on July 18, the Republican printed a full ac- count of the history at tha couple after their appearance here. From the story of Abbott it appeared to be a sad and romantic elopement, in which Abbott, the sonof wealthy parents at Toronto, Canada, had falleri deeply in love with * poor girl who lived about six miles from that city and having married her against the wishes of his parents, had been cast adrift to make his own living and had wandered here in search of work. He found work with M. D. Degge & Co., silver-plate manufacturers at 113 South Eighth street. Abbot proved to be a capable workman at the trade of electroplating and stated that he had also studied for the ministry and had preached. This statement was borne out by the clerical appearance of the man and an assumption of piety in his conversation. The Republican, after giving what was sup- posed to be thetrue story of the case, went more deeply into it, and discovered suspicious circumstances pointing tothe falsity of Ab- bott’s statements, and to foul play, which are borne out bythe evidence developed up to date. THE ENTIRE HISTORY ofthe couple fromthe timethey were first seen in the neighborhood is now given for the first time in the POS8T- DISPATCH to-day. The part of the story which has never been told fully is supplied by Mr. A. R. Husekamp, the proprietor of the dry-plate manufactory at Woodland, who has an office at 1202 Washing. ton avenue. Mr. Husekamp was the first per- son to befriend the couple, and after his first meeting with them did everything in his power to help the alleged Abbott and his wife. Mr. W. T. Clark, the foreman of Mr. Huse- kamp’s carpenter shop, who is also station agent at Woodland, a small station just beyond Jennings, on the Wabash Rallway, in St. Louis County, went to open the station on the morning of July 1. On the platform he found a man and woman, who appeared to be tired and broken down. He asked them what they were doing there, and the man, who gave the name of Thomas Abbott, and who declared that the woman was his wife, said that they intended going to St. Charles, but their money had given out and that they had been compelied to stop at the station, and had spent the night in a wheat field. Mr. Clark’s sympathy was excited and telling the man to make his wife as com- fortable as he could in the shadow of a shock of wheat bundles said, he would look up some place where they could go. The poor couple had not bad anything to eat for twelve hours and they were supplied with shelter and food by Mr. F. Mackfessei, foreman of the factory. Mr. Husekamp, whose attention was called to the supposed Abbott and his wife, took an immediate interest in them and told his fore- man to give Abbott work if he could und anything for him todo. Work was found for him, and he proved to be handy in packing and doing odd jobs around the shop. Abbott was asked what his trade was and he said that he understood electroplating and would like to find something of that kind to do. In the meantime a neighbor wanted some house-papering done and Ab- bott said he could do the job, and did it to the entire satisfaction of his employer. Mr. Husekamp told Abbott that he would give him a note to a friend in St. Louis, who had a ailver- plating establishment, and that he would certainly give him employment if he had any to give. He thereupon gave him a note to F. A. Dur- gin, 805 North Seventh street. Mr, Durgin had no employment for him and sent him to M. D. Degge, 118 South Bighth street. Mr. Degge, electro plater and that he couid improve eolutionerbich wasthenin use ahl on his representation that he was a skilled . LATES? Humax employed him, offering him $2 a day until he had proved his capability, and then he assured him of an increase in his wages. Abbott, or West, as his real name proves to be, did not go to work at once, but excused himself by saying that his wife was sick a Woodland and he had to wait upon her. On the following Saturday, one week later, he brought bis supposed wife to the shops and in uced her Mr. Degge. They were anxious to find a home in the city and a room was secured for them, temporarily, on Olive street. This was on Jaly 9. Abbott on July 18 that he nad to give up the room on Olive street, as a per- manent boarder had been found, and qu were secured for the couple with Mrs. Kuhlen, at 718 North Jefferson avenue. he o part of the history, if tragedy there is, begins atthis point. Almost imme- diately after taking up their residence at 718 the girl took sick, an bbott told nis em- ployer of it and remained away from work to attend to her. Dr. E. R. Albin was culled in to give medical attendance and treated the sick woman until her death. The 8 were those of cholera morbus, the iliness being attended with nausea, vomit- ing and purging and a weak but high pulse. Dr. Albin was told that the sick girl was troubled with her heart, and when she died at 2 o’clock on the morning of the 18th he gave a burial certificate alleging death from heart disease, induced by cholera morbus. Mr. Degge, who had advanced Abbott mon- ey because of the interest he took in him and his wife, aided him by every means in his power and made an arrangement with Under- takers Harrigan and Sheehan to b the rromising that the money should be rom Abbott's wages. Tre same after- noon the body of the poor girl was taken to Wesleyan Cemetery and was interred there in the public part of the burying-ground. Up to this time not a suspicion that Abbott and hie alleged wife were hiding their identi- ty under assumed names had arisen. As far as their sad story at this end was concerned it might have rested under the sod of Wesleyan with the ruined girl had not Abbott, with that fatal desire to make evidence for himself, added an unpeces- sary falsehood to his other sins. In this re- gard he resembles Brooks-Maxwell, in that he wave all the clues which led to suspicion in an endeavor, by lying and fraud, to cover his tracks. His victim was in her grave. His identity was unknown as was that of his supposed wife. He ha gained the sympathy and regard of severa friends, and was secure in a good position which would have given himaliving. But remorse was doing its terrible work and led him irresistibly into hisowntrap. The — after the burial of his supposed wife Mr. Degge wanted him not to bleep at the rooms they had occupied, but he insisted on doing 80. HE DECLARED THAT HE COULD NOT STAY a wuy from the spot associated in his mind with the only woman he loved. He went to the house at 713 North Jefferson avenue and there told the opposite tale to the landlady. He said he could not sleep iu the room where his wife had died and would go toa hotel. He left the house saying that he would return in the morning and was never seen again by any one who knew him in St, Louis. Before going, however, he packed up every stitch of clothing belonging to the dead woman and took it with him. The secret was locked in his own breast and with thedvad. It might have remained there and he might have gone out of the remem- brance of the people who befriended him here bad it not been for his own act. No one would ever bave dreamed of going back of the burial] certificate had he himself not given it the lie. Every act of West shows that un- der his clerical garb was not only the heart of a Villain but the capacity of an accomplished liar and hypocrite. The Suspicious Correspondence. The supposed Abbott had disappeared, no one knew where, but on the second day after his departure Mr. Degge received a letter from him enclosing another purporting to be from his wife and written to him. The letter signed by Thomas Abbott stated that he expected take his own life, because his spirit was crushed by the letter from his w which ] showed that she had taken her own life to avoid belng a burden to him. He stated that he had written to his father and he thought he | would pay his debts. He also stated that his arents did not live in Toronto, Canada, but ad moved to New York. There were two ostscripts. One gave regards to Mr. Huse- amp and reiterated his desire to be reunited to his dead love. The inclosed letter from Mrs. Abbott is referred to. Itclosed by stat- ing that his body would be found in the river. he letter alleged to be from the dead woman was addressed, ‘‘My Dear Husband,’’ and stated that she had determined to end her life, because she was the cause of so much trouble tohim. It referred to his parents’ dislike of her, and stated that she had burchased arsenic ata drug store, which she intended to take. Tbe love which she bore her husband, and hope of forgiveness from God and of meetin in heaven was expressed. It was signed Annie, and closed with the postscript: ‘‘Tell mother I die happy, and she must not fret. The letter was skilfully constructed to bear out the statements of Abbott and to give the impression of a sadly ended romance. But the proots of the falseness of the allegei wife's letter were indelibly imprinted on the two communications. Mr, Degge had such firm tuith in the fraudulent Abbott that he would not show the letters to a reporter who wanted to see them, regarding the confidence of the writer as a sacred trust. He and Mr. Husekamp prepared to dothe last actin their power to show their kindly friendship. They notified the police of the expressed in- tention of Abbott,and hearing thata body had been foundintheriver which seemed to auswer his description, they gave orders that side of his supposed wife. however, not to be his. There were circumstances about the letter which aroused suspicion. The letter signed by Thomas Abbott was dated July 19, the other had no date on it. The envelope was post- marked III., but the name ot the post oftice was illegible. It was stamped on the back, ‘*received at St. Louis, Mo., July 20, 3 p. m. The letter written by Abbott was in a strained back-hand, as if the style was not familiar to the writer, and with dashes used instead of periods. In the last line of the final post- script, which is written in lead pencil the chiro phy suddenly changes toa small runuing- hand, the letters slanting forward. The letters are peculiarly formed. A frst glance at the two letters would not show any siinilarity, but closer inspection shows that notwithstanding the difference in style of writing the writing was done by the same person. This conviction forces itself upon even the who have examined the . Degge stated to-day that he was sure of it. Chiet-of- Detectives O’Neil declares that there is no doubt of the fact, and Chief Huebler stated to a Post-DISPATCH reporter that no one could look at the letters without coming to this con- clusion. The dead girl wrote a letter to her mother while away from home which can be compured with the writing, and the truth brought out in this way. SINGULAR INCIDENTS. In talking over the matter to-day Mr. Huse- kamp said that several things occurred to him which were suspicious. He said thathe ad- vanced Abbott $10 on two occasions—once while his wife was ill, and again after she had died. He said also thaton the day of her death Abbott came to his office and told him that he had written to Annie's mother, givin an account of her death, and wante to show the letter to Mr. Husekamp. That entieman read it and describes it as an excel- ent letter, which stated the circumstances and the grief of the man at her death. In order to show the letter to Mr. Husekamp the envelope had to be torn and Mr. Husekamp offered Ab- bott another one,teiling him to take a seat at his desk. When he had changed the envelope Mr. Husekamp asked if he did not want to mail it, and Abbott spoke up hurriedly and said that he wanted to puta card in it, and would mail it afterwards. Mr. Husekamp said he to find of the 23 mother, but it was not to be found. He also says that he sent his son-in- law and book-keeper to Mr. Degge to make inguiries about bbott, and the latter saw them there and came to is office and inquired 8 if he doubted anything he had told him. Mr. Huse- kamp further says that in some way he got the impression when Abbott was about the death of his supposed wife, that he was not sincere, and spoke about it to Mr. Pere use it troubled him. Abbott while at Woodland spoke lu a prayer-meeting there and impressed every one with his . and ability. Mr. Degge says that A 1 The body proved, remains and pronounce it be brought to this city and interred by the | for th a ere, that some o necessity r the drug, and m = 1 1 ng dress@d in black on Sunday at his wife’s fu- neral, One. other suspicious circumstance which was mentioned yesterday was the finding of a — of arsenic at Mr. Degee’s shop, pur- ch by Abbott among other chemicals. The amount was two anda half pounds. Mr. not lay greut store by this, as he ossible that Abbott may have needed the arsenic in his solutions. The otroumstance of the letters which gave the lie to the burial certificate ,and which were both evidence of falseness on Abbott’s part, the arsenicand other things arousedso much guspion that Circuit-Attorney Clover, as was sta yesterday, called the attention of the Coroner tothe case, and the Coroner began the investigation. ABBOTT AND WEST. The Identification of the Electro-Plater as a Runaway Preacher. The suspicious circumstances already stated awakened the police. andthe first clew to the identification of the alleged Abbott as a Methodist minister from Charleston, Ind., was given in the Post-DISPATCH yesterday. Tele- grams were received from John T. Taylor and H, Green, stating that Abbott was be- lieved to be Rev. Dr. West, whogeloped witha girl from Chesterton about six weeks before, and asking fora description of the man, which Chief Huebler sent. The reply tothe Chiel’s telegram was as follows: Chief of Police: Thomas Abbotis without doubt Rev. Will- iam Thomas Abbott West of this place who eloped with Susie Beck about June 27. He re- turned here July 21, and wnen shown corre- spondence in Inter-Ocean decamped. JOHN T. TAYLOR. Chesterton, Ind., July 28. Abbott’s identity was thus pretty definitely settled. Advices from Chesterton show that West§came to Chesterton a little less than a year ago to preach for the Methodist Church there. Susie Beck went into his family as a domestic in February, and anintimacy was soon discovered between them. Abbott and Miss Beck left on June 24, anda event to Chicago from which place letters were written by both of them ae pe ergy ree 3 crimina! intimacy. West re- turned to Charleston July 20 without Miss Beck and was forgiven by his wife, but on being confronted with the story of his career in St. Louis decamped night before last. —— MRS. ABBOTT AND SUSIE BECK. Dead Girl Identified as the Victim of West. As soon as the Coroner had received the re- quest from Circuit- Attorney Clover to make an investigation of the Abbott case, he prepared to exhume the body of the dead woman and The hold a post-mortem examination. The evidence that the girl who had claimed to be Mrs. Annie Abbott was no other than Susie Beck, who had eloped from Chesterton with the Rev. William Thomas Abbott Weston June 24, was almost established by the evidence going to show the identity of the clergyman, but actual proof not onty of her identity was necessary but also the evidence ofthe post-mortem as bearing on the cause of her death was re- uired. Under the order of Coroner Frazer therefore Chief Clerk Ryan of the Coroner’s office and Undertaker Sheehan went to the Wesleyan Cemetery yesterday after- noon and exhumed the body. It was along, hot drive there and hack, but the new-made grave wus opened and the coffin was taken out. The body had been in the grave ten days, and was in an advanced state of de- composition. The stench arising from it was almost intolerable, and the progress of the wagon containing the remains could be noted along the road by the smell. The body was taken to the Morgue and all that could assist in arresting decomposition und in doing away with the odor was resorted to. It was placed on ice last night in prepara- tion for the post-mortem examination and the identification this morning. Notwithstanding the care there had been taken to deodorize the body the stench in the Morgue was terrible this morning and pervad- 2 the atmosphere for a block around. . Dlioekbhahn had been asked by Coroner Frazer to perform the autopsy,. and com- menced his unpleasant task, assisted by Chief- Clerk Ryan, shortly after 7 o’clock this morn ing. Susie Beck was described by those who knew her as an attractive girl, 19 years of age, with a magnificent suit of hair. There was no attractiveness about the mass of corruption at the morgue, but it was be- lieved that those who knew the girl in life could yet identify her, The face was discolored and the features were swolien and disfigured, but the hair was there still and the general contour of the face could be recognized. For the identification of the body as that of the supposed Mrs. Abbott there was no difficulty. Dr. Albin, her attending physician, examined the them those of Mrs. Abbott. Mr. Degge recognized the dress she had on, a pair of stockings which his wife had purchased to put on herfor burial, and be general also recognized the appear - ance of the dead woman. So far tue identification was complete. But there was another point to be established and this was the identity of the dead woman with Susie Beck and this point was also pre- pared for. A most important witness arrived this morning from Chesterton, Ind. This was MR. JOHN C. COULTER, an old resident of that place and a gentleman who had known Susie from her girlhood. He went at once to the Four Courts and was taken to the Morgue. The first lance at the dead body was suf- cient to convince him and he pronounced it that of Susie Beck. He recog- nized the fine suit of aburn hair and the gen- eral appeorance, but he had better proof than that. He had some pieces of dresses Susie had taken from home with her which had been given him by her mother. One corresponded with the. dress the iece * was buened in and another Was recognized by the landlady, Mrs. Kuhlen, similar to a dress worn by Susle. Two decayed teeth also were found in the front of her mouth. There is no doubt about the identifi- cation of the body. Results of the Post-Mortem, The post-mortem examination on the body was made this morning by Dr. W. Blickhahn, assisted by Clerk Ryan. The post-mortem was thorough from the drain down. It was found that the woman had given prema ture birth to a child, which fact was not known until after the body had been exhumed. This discovery has induced Coroner Frazer und Undertaker a detuiled examination by which he hopes to demonstrate either the presence or the absence of peritoritis, which may account, or be one of the main causes of the woman's death. The examination will be interfered with to a very great extent by the decomposition of the body, which has 1 to an ex · treme degree. Mioroscoplo invest gation will be made, however, and every effort made to locate any inflammation, if such existed, and to determine bow much of itis ante and how much post mortem. THE CORONER TALES, Coroner Frazer, when seen to-day as to the results of the post-mortem said: ‘‘We have taken the stomach, the liver and the heart out and have preserved them 80 as to be able make a chemical analysis of them. I bave made a partial ex- amination for crooked work, done eithey by a rotessional or non-professional hand, and kuus far I have failed find it. 80 far as its grosser aspect is concerned, I will make a second and a third examination, however, and then I shall know — cor - tainly how the matter stands.

Boulanger Chalienges M. Ferry—Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 29.—The scene last night which resulted in the suspension of Healy, was merely the climax to the feud between the Irish members and the young Tory bloods. The conduct of the latter recently has secured them the name of Yahoo. To a sensitive and emotional man like Healy, their behavior has simply become in- tolerable. He occasionally cannot refrain from saying what he feels. The Speaker takes no means to suppress these young Tories, but Courtney, the Chairman of the committee, has done his best and has frequently rebuked them. SWINEBURNE RECANTS. Swineburne having recanted his political opinions, commences in the next Fortnightly Review arecantation of his literary views by an attack on Walt Whitman. There is really little in the paper. He admits that Whitman ‘fig a writer of something occasionally like English, and a man of something occasionally like genius, but attacks him on the grounds, ~ first, that he is no poet, but merely a rhetorician; second, because of „the unhealthy demonstration and obtrusive animalism of his work.’’ Regarding Whit- man’s claim to be considered a poet, Swine- burne says: ‘ Vois tu bien, tu est Baron comme ma vantoufle, said old Gillenorm. The humblest of critics who knows any one thing from any other thing, has a right to say to the man who offers as poetry what the exuberant incontinence of Whitman presents for our acceptance: Tu est poete comme mon soulier.’’’ As, however, Swineburne ironically considers tbe deliverances of Whitman, Car- lyle and Emerson on the subject of poetry equally valuable and judicial, Whitman has no cause to complain. The markets are generally stronger this morning. Blaine’s European Tour. special Cahlegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, July 29.—It is stated on good au- thority that there is no truth in the report about Mr. Blaine’s early return to the United States. Itis asserted, on the contrary, that he will adhere tothe plans already made for his European tour. -— *r. DR. PARKER’S AMERICAN TRIP. Mrs. Potter’s New Play—“ Inez, the Bride of Love’’—Munckacsy. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LonpoN, July 29.—Yesterday, Dr. Parker, at the close It his usual Thursday afternoon service in the City Temple, Holson Viaduct, announced to a crowded congregation that that was the last occasion which he would preach or conduct any religious services in England until his return from the United States, on the second Sunday in April next. He said that he had been wondering ever since the announcement was first made that he in- tended visiting America this year, why people thougut he would not return, and after much cogitation he had supposed it was because they fancied that when he got there he would find that there were no dissenters there. Ev- ery one in America stood for what he was worth, while here a dissenter was almost ob- liged to apologize for his convictions. He had received from all classes of the people, high and low, the kindest expressions of good will and wishes for his safe return to Engiand. The conclusion of one letter which he dearly prized contained these words: ‘‘We sincerely wish you a safe and happy expedition.’’ „That wish, said Dr. Parker, loses noth- ing in value and worth because the letter bears the signature of Wm. E. Gladstone. MRS. POTTER'S NEW PLAY. ‘‘Civil War’’ at the Gaiety will be withdrawn on August 5, forthe rehearsal of a new play by Ross Neal, which has been purchased by Mrs. James Brown Potter.

But this declaration was cautiously avoided, like the well grounded complaints of Russiws hostile attitude toward Germany.’’ The Frankfort Zeitung has advices from St. Petersburg which reaflirm the reports of the endeavor on the part of Russia to negotiatealoan in Paris. Other Russian advices refer to a proposal to promote the production of gold and arrest the depreciation of Russian paper.

Sr. IGNACE, Mich., July 29.—McGarigle is undoubtedly out of the reach of all American authorities by this time—at least, that is the way itlooks here.

Kelly pleaded guilty in the Police Court to vVagrancy on April 3, 1886, and was fined $500, He was granted a stay of execution during goes behaviour. On July 6, 1887, Kelly was again arrested for vagrancy, buta re- maining in the holdover a few days was sent down to the Work house on the old execution. He was not given any trial, the police officer stating what Kelly had done, and having the old execution introduced in evidence. Kelly’s side of the case was not heard and he was denied the right of appeal.

As he been denied such trial and sach right of ap- peal Kelly was entitled to his disc „ and e would order his release. MAXWELL’S FATHER ON HEAT.

The old gentleman carried a huge package of tomatoes up to his boy. Like all En bmen Mr. Brooks Is fond of walking and goes along the street at a rapid gait.

FINISHED BY FLYNN. PATRICK SMITH SHOT DEAD EARLY THIS MORNING. James C. Flynn, a Builder, Ends a Dispute With a Revoilver—Two Wagon-Loads of Rocks the Cause—A Big Man Killed by His Smaller Opponent—A Tragic Scene on Garfield Avenue. A little dark red spot in the dust of Garfield avenue near Taylor. That is all and yet itis the only evidence thata great, strong man’s life went out there this morning as a candle is snuffed out. It was done so suddenly and so early that it seemed as if big Patrick Smith just woke up from his night’s rest to fall into an eternal sleep. And James C. Flynn, whose hand sped the fatal bullet, was landed behind the bars of & cell so quickly that he could scarcely believe that it was all not a dream of his hot and troubled sleep. And yet the men may have had a premoni- tion of their coming fate—a grave for one and a coll for the other—for they had quarreled yesterday. The trouble was all caused by a little pile of rocks which lay on the sidewalk in the rear of Wagner’s drug store on the nartheast corner of Taylor and Garfield avenues. These rocks Flynn claimed to own, while Smith was determined to remove them. At 7:30 0’clock this morn- ing they argued briefly over the matter and then Smith grasped his pick and began to dig ks loose. Flynn jumped upon the stone to Rep it down and was pushed off. Then the big man raised his pick and advanced upon him. There was a brief pause; then a istol shot awoke the ulet neighbor- 004. Nobody could tell if the buliet had found anything but empty air. Smith took but two steps toward his antagonist, then the pick fell to the ground, and he waiked about twenty feet into the street. There he caught hold of the end of a wagon and stood thus a moment, and both men looked at each other—Fiynn with the WHITER SMOKE STILL FLOATING about him and Smith with a white look creeping over his face. They stood facing each other but a second or two, for Smith sud- denly threw up his hands and fell headiong to the ground. A witness of the tragedy ran around the corner for Dr. Riecke, but when the physician reached Smith he was dead. The only eye-witnesses of the affray besides the principals were Wm. Burr, an employe of Fiynn; Perry Fobus, a colored driver of a furniture wagon, and a boy named Hellwig. When Smith fell Flynn stood dazed until Burr approached and said: ‘‘Here, now, this nasty thing's done, Flynn, Ko and give yourself up. That's all you can do. Flynn shook himself, turned away from the dead man, and walked to Taylor avenue and thence across to the Cote Brilliante Police Station, where he astonished Police Officer Gottwald by walking gquietiy up to the desk and stating what he had done. He was at once placed in acell. He had thrown the revolver into a ile of weeds on his way tothe station and it uld not be found. 1t was a plain two-bar- reled 5 but Flynn said he couldn’t re- member the make or calibre. THE DEAD MAN fell in view of his own home, which was at No. 4415 Garfield avenue, a few doors east of the fatal pile of rocks. He was placed on Aa shutter and earried into the yard, where bis stalwart frame was covered with a white sheet and al- lowed to lie until the Coroner could be heard from which was nottill well along toward noon. It was in lain sight of the passersby, and soon @ large crowd gathered in front of the little house, inside of which the widow could be heard sobbing. Whatawed the crowd 60 was that such a werful man as Smith should be lying so cold and still be- foretnem. They had seen him a moment be- inch high, fore standin 6 feet and 1 weighing — and a pikture of health "atrick Smith was born in Ireland and came to America some sixteen years ago. He was a brother-in-law of Father Gallagher of Burnsville, Mo. He had two children, but they are in Ireland. His first wife died a few years since and he married again but has had no children by his second wife. He was 42 years of age and hauled supplies for stone masons and con- tractors. JAMES C. FLYNN was seen by a POST-DISPATCH reporter shortly after he had given himself up. He is about five feet eight inches in height and weighs not over 140 pounds. He has a sandy complexion and reddish beard, and the look of a quiet, peace- able citizen, 1 reputation which he enjoys in the community. His victim also had a similar reputation. Flynn was perfectly sober, and in fact both he and Smith have been known as temperate men. Flynn is a pretty well-known carpenter and builder, and is a F. He, wile three chil- lives at 4334 Garfield avenue, also sight of the mtrder-scene. He has labored hard and amassed a comforta- ble sum of money, which bas gone into resi- dence and business bulidings in that vicinity. He recently put — the two-story brick row at Taylor and Garfield avenues. It was the re- mains of the building materials of these houses that brought about the shooting. When, in response to the reporter’s saluta- tion, Flynn came up tothe bars to tell his story his face wore the troubled look that comes to those upon whom a great misfortune suddenly falls. e said he was glad to get a chance to place the matter before the public. „ left home, said Flynn, with Burr about 7 o'clock this morning to go down to the lot back of the corner drug store and put a gate in the boar fence that runs alon Garfield avenue. hen we reached the spot we found Patrick Smith there with his mule team, 1 to take away some rocks which had deen left over from the building of my houses. The rocks, l were about two wagonloads and worth not more than 83 or $4. They had been lying there for about nine months, since the houses were finished. They were not inside the fence, byt just outside on the sidewalk ground. la had been dumped on them and packed down hard, and Smith was digging them out of the clay when Burrandicameup. I told him he had no right to the rocks, that they had been on m mises for 5 a year and that ad got them of the Masons when they left. To this he replied that he was bouhd to take them away. Then I said I would stay there all day before I would let him do that. es, he answered, you'll have to stay up ali night,too.’’ He then began to dig under e rocks with his pick. I jumped uyee the rocks and told him be would have to lift me too. He 7 — me off twice. When I jumped on the third time, he struck at me with the pick, but he wasso close that the blow which struck me on the head did not hurt The second time he swung the pick ack savagely, but Burr caught the pick by the head. As he ralsed it for the third strike I drew the pistol and : *Stop, or I'll shoot.’ He replied: „Shoot, if you want to.’ I waited a second or two, but as he still advanced toward me, I fired. I was rn the fence, and the wagon and Smith were between me and the street. 1 was not more than ten feet from Smith when I shot. I considered my lite in danger. Smith was a large man, much larger than I, and besides 1 have been ailing for over a year.

Jennie Stamm, an inmate of Mollie Taylor's house, on North Twenty-first street, is no more. The unfortunate woman tired of the life she was leading, and this morning brought it to a close by shooting herself in the head. She was A years old last April, and was ana- tive of Germany, coming to this country eix years ago with her family. After living for awhile in Milwaukee, they moved to Medford, Wis., where the remainder of the family still reside, and where der father, John Stamm, is a well-to-do florist. The girl’s mother has been dead some — and besides herself the family was compose of her father, two sisters and two brothers. Just after their arrival in this . before they had been here a week, Jennie, who could not speak a word of English, was sent out to work for strangers. She had been made to work ever since, while her sisters were allowed to remain athome. This treatment was taken very much to heart by her, as she thought ber father able to support her without — — her to work, and she felt herse en- titled to the same treatment as the other children. Her protests were unavailing, however, and while her younger sister and brother took sides with her, the older brother and sisters joined the father in insisting on her working. Finally she left her home, and to enjoy an easier life than the one she had been leading, entered a disreputabie house in St. Paul under the name of MOLLIE J. SMITH. After one there awhile she went into similar houses in a couple of smaller towns and then returned home. They still in- sisted on her working for a living, and on the 4th of last November she came to this city, going directly to Mollie Taylor’s house. She has been there ever since and the above story ofher life is gleaned from what she told there. The life she had adopted was distasteful to herand she frequently got the blues and condemned her father and older sister and brother for their treatment of her. Frequently she told at the house that if she ever committed suicide it would be on account of the treatment she had received from her father and she requested her companions to write him after her death that she had said he was the cause of it. About a week ago she took a dose of morphine, but was givena cup of coffee and the effects of the drug soon passed away. When she awoke she said she was sorry to find she was still alive, as she bad hoped she would awaken in another world. Afterward she told the inmates of the house that she had taken the drug with suicidal intent. Yesterday and last night she was again most despondent and complained bitterly of the way ber folks had acted toward her. She said she had a very bad case of and could not de cheerful. At this morhing the inmates of the house heard the report of a revolver and ran to her room to find her stretched out on the floor bathed in her own blood. In ber hand she held a thirty-eight caliber revolver, with which she had fired a ball into the brain. When she PULLED THE TRIGGER she was probably standing up, as she fell against the walland bruised the side of her face very badly. Her head was resting in a pool of blood, which had accumulated on the carpet. Ata glance the women saw what had occurred, and immediately sent for a physi- clan. It was useless, however, as the ball had entered the brain. She was lifted tenderly into bed and in less than twenty minutes was a corpse. Jennie Stamm, or Jennie Smith, as she was known here, was a tall, weli-formed and rather handsome woman. Her complexion was very fair, her thick hair of a dark color, and her eyes a bright blue-gray. At the house her story of her ill-treatment at home is be- lieved to be the cause of her taking her life, as they knew of no other cause she couid have had. Sofaras they know she had no one whom she cared for particularly, and had had no trouble, exeept her grieVance against her father and her older sister and brother. The revolver with which sne killed herself was purchased by her last spring. and at the time she stated that she had bought it because she was accustomed to having one in her room. All her family were fond of fire-arms and used tothem. Shortly after her death the police and Coroner were notified and this afternoon 8 Coroner Hennessy visited the house and held an inquest on the body. The verdict was suicide.

A CAR CLEANER’S FIND. Letters Containing Checksfor Large Sums Found in a Postal Car. NBW YORK, July 29.—A car cleaner named Albert Jones on Friday night found behind the heater in Postal-car No. 679 at the Grand Cen- tral Depot, six official envelopes. They had been opened,but there were in them a number of checks in transit for New York banks. Jones reported the matter and an investigation was begun. All those knowing of the matter were instructed to keep quiet about it. The checks found aggregated $6,000, and none had been stolen. There had been no money in the envelopes. Chief Clerk Howe’s theory is that the bunch of letters through some mistake fell upon the counter and were overlooked when the other letters were pouched ; that some thief got into the car, discovered the letters, opened them,found that they contained nothing but checks, and threw them behind the heater. The pouch in which the letters came from Albany, o ntained a number of money packages, which were not disturbed. Mr, Howe does not think any of the crew opened the letters. The car-cleaner, Jones, has been talking about his find, in spite of injunctions to the contrary, and told some friends that he had found a package contain- — for which he expected a big re- w ; SUICIDE NOT LICENSED, Baldwin, the Aeronaut, Shut Out by the Chicago Authorities.

LOUIS. THE LITTLE ROLLING MILL CLOSED DOWN THIS MOBNING. A Big Strike Which Throws Over 400 Men Out of Employment—Several Knock- Down Arguments—A Stoker Who Was Overworked Causes All the Trouble— East St. Louis News. The Little Rolling Mill, the largest industry in East St. Louis, is closed down to-day in all the departments on acoount of a strike among the stokers. The strike was inaugurated last night, and the principal grievance of the men is that too much work was exacted of one of their number, a man named Joseph Moore. Moore has been engaged as a stoker for the new spike mill furnaces, and yesterday he complained to the foreman, Enoch Davis, that he had to perform too muoh work and asked that another man be assigned to help him. Davis refused to grant the request. Moore then informed the other laborers of bis grievance and a number of them went to Davis and demanded that Moore be given a helper. Davis said that one man had been doing the work all along, and he djd not think it necessary to divide it between two. The meninformed him if he did not accede to their demands a strike would be inaugurated. He told them he was foreman, and he did not recognize their right to dictate to him how many men he should assign to a certain piece of work. They then said that, Moore being a Knight of Labor, they would have to stand by him until his just demand had been ac- ceded to DAVIS is said to have replied that he had no faith in the ability of that organization to gain any conoéssions, and if the men relied on the power of that order they would come out at the little end of the horn. The laborers,about 200 in number, then quit work. They did not leave the grounds immediately but lingered around talking about the justness of Moore's demand and their obligation to stand by him until he had gained his point. James Jones, a son of the superintendent of the mill, engaged in an argument with several of the strikers and strongly condemned their action in quitting work without,as he claimed, any reasonable cause. The strikers took um- brage at his denunciatory remarks and one of them caught him by the throat and nearly choked him. Another struck him, but 1 — 00 of them, with more discretion, their belligerent . away and prevented them rom doing the roung man any more harm. Short- y aiter this occurrence they all left the mill and went to their homes. This morning they did not return to work, and for want of stock the puddlers also had to desist about 11 o clock, andthe whole mill was then closed down. About 8 o’clock the strikers senta committee of fiVe men to the mill to wait on Superintendent Jones, lay their griev- ances before him and endeavor to have him accede to their request. They were met at the gate by Mr. Jones, and, according to their story, were refused by him admission to the yards,he stating that he did not desire to have any conference with them. His defiant bear- ing incensed them and one of them struck him a blow in the face which otag ered him. No further violence was attempted, and the mem- bers of the committee then went back and in- formed the body of the strikers of the failure of their mission. NO FURTHER ADVANCES towards a reconciliation were made a the strikers _ to-day, but it is understood that a conference with Col. Meysenbur „ the presi- dent of the . willbe held this even- ing, and if an understanding is arrived at work will be resumed to-morrow. When a Post-Dispatca reporter visited the mills this morning there about 200 men and boys lounging in groups in the vicinity. The men expressed themselves as determined to gain their point and tne youthful strikers were of the same frame of mind as their elders. Some of the boys were ver youn and diminutive but they telt that they wereinvested with great importance, from the fact that they were on a strike, and it was amusing to observe how they exhibited this meme when porns SS companions who could not boast of ing ‘‘strikers.’’ From one of the strikers the reporter learned the grievances which had induced them to quit work. It seems that, in addition to their complaint that Moore was not treated right- fully, they also object to Foreman Davis“ overbearing manner towards them all. He is very unpopular and they desire his re- moval. Davis has only been foremana week, succeeding Joseph Knerringer, who was dis- charged. He ie a stranger in the city. After having talked with the strikers the re- porter then visited the mill to obtain the ver- sion of the managers. Col. Meysenburg had not arrived from St. Louis, but Mr. E. C. Hanpeter, the chief clerk, was not averse to 8 ing about the difficulty with the men,and the cause which led toit. He said that the strike was due more to outside influence than to the inclination of their employes. When Moore had requested that another man be as- signed to he P him he was promised that his request woul be granted to-day. He, however, insisted that it must be com- plied with immediately. That was about 6 o’¢lock last evening. The foreman refused to give him ahelper then, and he quit work. Several of the other laborers were assigned in turn to do his work, but the rest of the labor- ers began to call them ‘‘scabs,’’ and as soon as that term was applied to them they ceased. Shortly afterall the stokers quit. When asked if it was the intention of the management to hire new men Mr. Harpeter said he did not know, but hardly thought 80, unless the strikers remained obdurate for too greata length ot time. He said a closing down for two weeks would not entail any loss on the management as they bad such a large stock on hand at present that they hardly had room to store it and a cessation for that time would enabie them to dispose of it. The closing down of the mill leaves about 400 men out of work, and should the strike be on for any length of time its effects would be greatly felt in the city. Notes.

Domestic Taub Eres 8 0 ; Am of : SHORT CROPS. A Probable Sharp Advance in the Price * of Tobacco. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsraTcu. New Tonk, July 29.—Those who enjoy the contemplative pipe and those who find life’s comfort by nibbling at plug-cake made out of tobacco and molasses, will lay in a good stock of those commodities early if they are wise. Small acreage and drought have caused an ad- vanee in price, which began last month. May is the planting time. A farmer ought to aver- age 6 cents a pound for the kind of tobacco used for smoking and plug-making. Last year’s average was 8 cents. Thereon general disgust prevailed, and when planting time came around the Indiana and I- nois farmers, almost en masse, used their land for other crops. There was also a great departure from the old rutsin Ken- tucky. About a month ago, out of 14,000 in- quiries more than 11,000 replies came from farmers outside the famous Burley district in Kentucky, showing an acreage in tobacco of 26,600 acres, against 75,796 acres last year. In the Burley district 13,825 acres. have been planted, against 31,663 acres last year. Vir- ginia reports showed a corresponding diminu- tion of acreage. These reports spurted prices at once, the farmers heard of the advance, and general preparations were made for a planting late in June; but in June à terrible drought was on all through the tobacco-grow- ing district. Tobacco must be planted in wet ground. The farmers held on in the ho of a but none came. Now that rain has fallen t TOO LATE TO PLANT, . for a tobacco crop must have ninety days of warm weather. The feelings and remarks of the farmers may be imagined when they hear that the worst of last year’s Virginia crop that was ruined by frost when in the ground and has since lain loose and unprotected, is now eagerly sought at $8 50 per 100 pounds. Ordi- narily it can not flüd buyers at 75 cents. Low- grade tobacco that went begging last year at 3 cents a pound is snatched up at9cents, and better grades, high last year at 10 cents, are now at 20 cents. Heavy tobacco has doubled in price. The average advance for smoking and plug tobaccoes has deen at least 150 per cent. Manufacturers are fast. approaching a corresponding advance in their prices to the trade. hile disgust and drouth are mainly responsible for present con- ditions, speculation has played an important part. The Spanish Government has had an agent here yearly to ~~ millions of pounds of this class of tobacco. Theformer agent took bids here, and it was commonly understood that no matter who got the award, the trade at large furnished the supply. A new agent came, He wentto the farmers direct, en the traders dumped prices. As the agent agreed to pay the market rates to the farmers, he was the only gaifter by this move. He was allowed to repeat this operation last year, the effect being to disgust the farmers with the low prices. This year the traders are taking their innings and they bave captured all the tobacco. What the Spanish agent wants he must get from them. Other European agents are said to be caught with expensive contracts on hand, so that domestic consumers will have plenty of company in the prices to be aid. Leaf tobacco used for cigars is not af- ected by the advance. WASHINGTON NEWS. Accounts ef a Treasury Disbursing Officer Examined and Found All Right. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jaly 29.—The com- mittee from the office of the First Comptroller of the Treasury, appointed to examine the books and accounts of Mr. George W. Evans, Financial and Disbursing Officer of the De- partment of the Interior, has completed its work and made itsreporttothe Secretary.

One will be let on the 3d prox., ani remaining three on the 10th prox. The effects of O’Malley’s action, if success. cessful, would be to entirely defeat the plan of sprinkling the streets this year and to hold the people at the mercy of the contractors. Councilman Pat O'Malley is now playing the last. card, on which the sprinkling contractors hope to win. In the long course of legislation, contract letting, to., the enforcement of the sprinkling ordi- mance has “finally been entrusted into the hands of Councilmen O’ Malley and Rohan. For the people’s interests nothing could be more unfortunate. For the sprinklers’ ring nothing could be much more satisfactory than to place the matter with men of their views. To-day these men occupy an unenviable position in the eyes of the friends of the sprinkling bill. Instead of making an ex- tra effort to carry out the wish of the citizens in this measure Mr. O'Malley is found in the attitude of springing technical objections in- tended to defeat the whole plan, and to continue the enormous prof- its of the ring. The sprinkling con- tractors have been holding secret conferences to discuss ways and means to defeat the en- forcement of the sprinkling ordinance. Ap- parently the time has not been lost. At pres- who are sparging exorbitant rates, for three months longer without any check on thei! a usness. To enforce his views he springs a point which is no point at all, and uses an argument which is not borne oul by the facts. This leaves him in a position from which graceful retirement is the only road out and leaves Mr. Rohan ye little te coincide with unless he and his fellow-com. mitteemen have reserved from the public bet. ter reasons for their uneapected conduct thay they have advanced. LABOR NEWS. Probable Collapse of the New York Long shoremen’s Strike. New YORK, July 29.—The strike of the long- shoremén on the North River promises to bea briefone.

The story ofthe attempted rescue of Mrs. Trugo and her babe, as described in later accounts, is one of peculiar horror and i pathos. The police and firemen had rescued her husband and four eldest children, but she was in some manner, readily ascribable to the confusion of the moment, neglected. Left with her 2-year-old baby, the poor woman resorted to the window. A fireman saw her, and plunging back through the smoke he returned to her chamber. All escape from the rear with such a burden asa woman and a child was impossible. Hethoughtof the bed cord and tearing it out, bound the woman and her baby with it and pushed them through the window. He played out the rope until from the heat and smoke, he was ready to fall to the floor, when he fastened the upper end to the bed-post and fled. Far from accom- plishing his gallant purpose, be had but too surely compassed the destruction of those de bought to save. His rope was too short and instead of dropping the woman and child tothe ground or within reach of those below he had suspended them in front of a first floor window from which the fire poured AS FROM A FURNACE DOOR. She swung there ten or twelve feet from the ground, writhing, shrieking and struggling as the fire swept off her garments, choked and actually broiled alive, the baby in her arms. By the most singular fatality, the flames, which were destroying her, left the rope in- tact. It became a necessity, tf not to save the woman, to at least remove the revolting sight. This duty was assumed by Capt. Will- lam H. Cowan of truck No. 8, who might have ordered another man to the task, but who chose to chance the fate which he was told bythe horrified spectators awaited his efforts. Seizing a ladder he threw it up to the blazing window, and with an ax mounted and stood on its blazing rung. He deliberately entered the flames, and as they encircled him from helmet to boots he struck atthe rope. He could not see and struck with inaccuracy. Once, twice, as the clothing fell from him he struck in vain. THE CAPTAIN DYING. At the third stroke, the blage cut the rope. Simultaneously the burning ladder broke and the three blazing human beings fell to the ground. The baby was already dead, the mother dying a few hours later, and the Captain lies in his home in whatis thought to be his death agonies. The bakers, Essen and Ausbetcher, who are believed to be respon- sible for the neglect which caused the fire, have deen arrested. The police say the pair had become drowsy from drink, and instead of watching the stove fell into a stupor, from which they only awakened when they and the tenants above were at the mercy of the flames. Anolle prosequl was entered in the case of William Pearson and Harry Locabelle, charged with grand larceny. SLY STANFORD. He Dodges Pertinent Queries of the Pacific Investigation Commission. SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.—The examination of ex-President Lelanffd Stanford of the South- ern Pacific Road was continued before the Pacific Railroad Investigatini Commission this morning. He was asked the following questions: Have the companies or either of them, or the r officers or agents, ever paid any money or other valuable consideration. or done any other act or thing for the purpose of influenc- ing legislation?’’ No reduction will be made from that r- tion of net earniags belonging to the United Stutes on accounttof any expenditures for which detailed and satisfactory vouchers are not furnished. That is not an answer to the quesion, said Gov. Pattison. ‘‘Has the company spent any money to influence legislation?“ Gov. Stanford. Ihave answered the ques- tion. What we do with the money that the Government does not share in as creditor, or what we do not charge up to her, needs no answer. In answer to other questions, Stanford said: The Central Pacific has spent no money in the construction of other roads orin outside companies. The total amount of stock in Central Pacificis one hundred millions, of which sixty-eight millions has been issued.’’ DROUTSH IN KANSAS.

All this was but fora moment. Just as the clouds swept down with a blackness that seemed to presage a long night’s rain, with its cooling patter. patter, there came a sud- den gust of wind from out the darkest corner of the sky, and the clouds broke and went following it down the dis- tance as though ashamed of the brief relief 8 had brought.

Brattleboro Letter to Springfield Republican. The wife of one of Brattleboro’s well- known business men has recently received a letter from the family of her nephew re- siding in Vergennes, with interesting de- tails concerning the discovery of a rich vein of granite just across Lake Cham- plain from Vergennes and the organiza- tion of a stock company of capital- ists for the purpose of develop- ing the quarry. The Brattleboro party is more particularly interest - ed in the fact that the nephew, through this discovery of the vein, comes into possession of a large fortune. The story told by the relative isinteresting. Howard Burt, it seems, was for several years a jeweler in Vegennes, and, although he was economical and industrious, his little business —— afforded more than a comfortable living for himself and family. Gradually he became deeply interested in the subject of geology to the study of which he gave much of is leisure time; and finally it resulted in his being recognized as one of the most scientific geologists in that section ofthe State. He was daily in- vestigating the different strata compris- ing the earth’s crust, and he was particu- larly fond of gathering specimens of min- erals and fossils. One day he crossed the lake, and in rambling about came upon a vein of nite, which subsequently roved to be of great value and utility. e confided the fact of his discovery toa leading Vergennes physician, who became interested aud was finally offered an in- terest, with the understandi that he was to furnish the capital for developin the quarry, which hedid. Buildings an derricks were erected, and the work of Ts was in time begun, but the capital being limited, immediate re- sults were not encouraging, and the work was, after the laspe of some time, discon- tinued, though as it has since turned out the quality of the stock was such as to insure a large demand. Mr. Burt, fully imbued with the idea that the quarry was rich, and satisfied that ultimately it would be profitably worked, decided to remain on the ground, title to which he had in some manner secured, and thus hold it from trespassers. And now comes the interesting part of thestory, which proves the wisdom of his course and shows how he was amply rewarded for his patience. His faith in his discovery and his deter- mination to hold on, has been heroicall maintained through a period fraught wit frequent discouragements. A syndicate with ample capital comes forward at last and takes possession of the quarry, which turns out to be of great value, and the aged geologist and discoverer is paid $150,000 and still retains a profitable inter- est in the company. The little town of Westport gets quite an impetus in cousequence of the discovery, while the pecuniary circumstances of one who has experienced the hardships of life are most pleasantly transformed. People acquainted with the circumstances tell of the discovery by this same Burt of a fossil in the shape of a large serpent,which the geologist has partly unear hed from the rocks in the vicinity of the quarries. He has already got out about eight feet of the monster, the largest part of which is some five inches in diameter. Beginning with the tail, every joint is said to be per- fect in detail, as are the fine, petrified scales, while the cavity which held the in- testines is a perfectly smooth surface. Burt continues to unearth the fossil as time permits, and he feels sure of obtain- ing the head, which he thinks, like the body, is encased in solid rock. The Chinese Empress’ Pastime. From the Hong Kong Times. The Empress Regent of China is one of the most remarkable women of the age. Not content with directing the intricate policy of the most populous empire in the — with wonderful cleverness and sagacity, she has now entered the ranks of competitors for the light-weight cham- ionship of the Celestial Empire.

Bill Nye Offers Suggestions About the Proper Toggery for a Modest Chimpanzee. From the New York WORLD. Mr. W. A. Conklin, Superintendent of Cen- tral Park Jungle, this State: v Deak Sir—I ve been intending for some time to write TP ag. regarding your animals, and especially Mr. wiley, but have been overrun with company and could not do so. I now take pen in hand for the purpose of writing a letter, which I hope will result in mutual benefit to both of us, and especially to you. 1 huve often heard of the mental worry you have had over Mr. Crowley, and your repeated failures to get clothes for him, and I am not ashamed to say that I have ut in many a sleepless night lately try- ng to think out a costume for him which would enhance his charms. At first I thought that a yachting shirt of some soft, neutral shade, laced up the back and held in place by means of a tarred rope, would do first-rate, but I was told that you had tried that or something similar to it, but with meager success. The idea of a kilt skirt loaded at the bottom witb Valen- ciennes lace and buckshot ovcurred to me as a good, quiet costume for week days, with a special overskirt for Sunday, cut princess perhaps, with a jury panel on one side and a special venire on the other, but some one told me that you had tried the skirt and that Mr. Crowley hanged himself by it to his trapeze and you came very near losing $900 worth of chinspanzee in a short time. Afterward I saw a costume which was at the time be- ing worn at a circus by the lady with the iron jaw, and I thought that would make a good suit for Mr. Crowley, for it would not in any way interfere with the free movement of his limbs; in fact, it would rather encourage it, and it could not cost very much, but you might do as you thought best about it. What I desire to say, however, is that Mr. Crowley is restless and tears up his clothes, I think, because he does * —— enough to ee his mind. The chim- A- or Trog! — niger, as we scien- ists call him, when conversing amon ourselves, like all other anthropoid or tail- less apes chafes and repines sadly unless his mind is employed. Accustomed to a free, glad life in the fastnesses of the forest, 1 first base in the cocoanut pick nine, or second bass in the tropical church choir, he hates the ennui of a summer in New York when bis young friends with two kinds of shirt on at one and the same time have gone tothe seaside. Of course, other ae come to Mr. Crowley’s cage and jab at him with their umbrellas and have fun with him but they do not call him ‘‘Cholly” and mix up with him. They do not belong to his set. So I say that the great trouble with Crowley, and Mrs. Crowley too, for that matter, isthe dull, inane life they lead and its consequent brain fag. While the other authropoids are enjoying them- selves at the seaside, ree — their clothes in one delightful, maddening round of gaiety, keeping a pair of trousers in the air all the time, here sits poor Mr. Crowley with no con- genial poses about him, and nothing to read but such works as, Tothe Casino and beyond,“ Please do not pull out the tail of the tiger, Do not ask us to return or be responsible for children whotry to climb the elephant’s trunk,” — th avenue entrance.“ = This s the front end of the elephant,” etc., etc All the animals feel the effects of a long, hot and indolent summer. The polar bear lies there sprawled out on rocks, panting fora small, tender relief party on ice. The common hare-lip camel of the bleached and bone-bestrewn desert stands on one leg and then onthe other with almost human intelligence. The hippo- potamus lies in the water and opens his six-gallon mouth with a bored air, andI noticed that the front yard of his tongue seemed to be coated. I noticed the last time I was a there, which was only a day or two ago, for 1 intend to go up twice a week at least, that the lion seemed blase and cared less for peanuts than usual. My idea, Mr. Conklin, isto give these animals employment. They lead a life thatis far too sedentary, especially the kangaroo. Keep a kangaroo employed and he will thrive. Give him afew acres of cabbages and a truck garden to roam around in during the night and he will bless you, and his pores will keep open and he will come to you andlick your hand or kick you so high that a chorus girl would have to wait two or three days for you to get back where she could give you another one. Elephants also need exercise, or their skins get dry and scaly. I had an elephant dry up once that way while on the road, and it took a flour bar- rel of vaseline every evening to soften up his skin so that he could sleep. My scheme is to organize up at Central Park a grand jungie aud hippodrome Babylonish sports, fireworks, anthropoid congress of rare and well-done wild beasts, red lemonade and attack on the Deadwood coach. This will give pleasure to the young people and employment to the ani- mals. My idea would be to have a band of head waiters make an attack on the coach, and then, if anything was left, we could have the Indians, assisted by the In- dian agent, attack the party and take the rest. It would just suit an Indian to take the rest. It does not tire an Indian much to rest. He trains himself so that he can endure it for weeks at atime. Isolated as he has’ been for many centuries from manual labor, he has gradually learned to do without it. We could also have the Custer massa- cre. If you think favorably of the scheme I have a list of men who will do first-rate to massacre. They are men with some histrionic talent who have frequently asked me this summer if this was hot enough for me?“ We could have them butchered at once, or we could torture them awhile first; just as you think best. Some of the audience would prefer to see them tortured, no doubt, while others, who live at quitea distance, would rather not take up the time. We could talk that over after- wards. If we agree to have the circus at Central Park, aud you think favorably of it, it would be a good idea to have a clown. How would a royal Bengal tiger race from the Terrace to the Casino strike you? It would be a new feature, and thetiger that came out ahead could have the clown. Let me know at once what you think of my proposition, and if we agree we can go to work at once erecting hard blue seats with sharp corners for the audience to lounge upon. Allyou would have to fur- nish would be the money and the gnimals. I would furnish the refreshments, the blue seats and the stock company for the massacre. Yours truly, BILL NYE. Insuring Maidens.

In Denmark there is a society known as the Maiden Assurance Society ; its aim is to rovide for ladies of well-to-do families. t shelters and cares for them and fur- nishes them with pin money.“ Its methods are thus described: The noble- man—for the association is peculiarly for this class—as soon as a female is born, enrolis her name in a certain asso- ciation of noble families and ig certain sum, and thereafter annual amount to the society. she has reached the age of, we believe, 21, she becomes entitled toa fixed income, and to a suit of apartments in a father should die in, ber, youth, and she e — e e 2x06 her income.

It is obvious that the chances for marriage among a given number ot women can be calcula as Closely as those of death. The plan hag — well for generations in Copen- EARLY IMMIGRANT VOYAGES. Sometimes Nearly Half the Passengers Died on the Cru wded and Unventilated Ships. From the New York Mail and ress. The great hardships of an immi U passage 100 years ago are illustrated an oration delivered in 1788 before the - man Society of Philadelphia by Rev. Dr. Krunze, in which he said that of 900 pas- sengers shipped within that year in one vessel from Amsterdam to Philadelphia, 400 had died on the way. The ac- commodations in the first-class cabin of a vessel of 100 years o were not a bit better or more comfortable than those of the steerage of a large trans- atlantic steamer of to-day. A sea vo in those days required more than ordinary courage, and a person who had crossed the ocean was looked up to as almost im- mortal. As late as 1819 the lower decks of the vessels carrying immigrants were no bet- ter than those of slavers. The height of the steerage deck rarely exceeded 5 or 6 feet. {t more usually was 4 The mor- tality reached an enormous amount. Ten per cent was nothing extraordinary and the rate often ran as high as one- third. In 1710 the English Govern- ment sent out to New York 38,000 Pala- tines. Of this number 470 died on the voyage and 250 immediately after their arrival, of ship fever. A well- known authority, in writing onthe sub- * says that the construction of ships or the express purpose of 9 as- sengers began only about „ Up to that time all space which could not be used for shipping merchandise was temporarily arranged for steerage passengers. This superfluous room was sold to an agent, and in those days a stee e five feet high was considered fully sufficient for making two tiers of beds along the sides. From this the na- ture of the atmosphere of the steerage can readily be imagined. One has but visit Castle Garden during the arrival of a lot of immigrants to appreciate this fact. There were in the old immigrant ships no other apertures for the admission of fresh air than the hatches, and these were always closed in bad weather and at night. This place, for the sake of a name, called the steerage, was crowded with passengers, of whom the greater part were strangers tothe virtue of cleanli- ness. There wasan atmosphere created which acted like poison on those who were obliged to breathe it. As soon as America came to be recog- nized as a haven of rest for all who chose to seek its shores, benevolent and humane laws began to de enacted looking toward the comfort of imm nts- The first law of Congress prescribing the space to be allotted to each steerage 1 vd was passed in 1819. A ship was forbidden to carry more than two passengers for every five tons, Custom-house measure. It was left to later laws to provide for proper ventila- tion and the height of the steerage. From this beginning the good work has gone on until almost everything possible has been done to alleviate the hardships of immi- grants during sea voyages. The Revised Bibie a Failure, r From the Boston Journal. This paragraph is going the rounds of the newspapers: Philadelphia publishers say the revisedjBible bas fallen flat. Hundreds of thousands of copies remain on the shelves and the le will not have them at any 2 The Bible is good enough. Stick to it. „It is true, said a gentleman to a Journal repo „that there has been a falling-off as compared with the demand when the revised Bible re appears but there has not been such a falling-off ag to warrant that statement. There a steady sale aud aslight increase has be- gun. There bas never been the same de- mand for the Bibleas for the New Testa- ment in the revised form.” At the rooms of the Massachusetts Bible Society it was said that sixty copies of the King James version was still sold for every one of the revised. There wasa tendency to criticise the change, which makes a less definite distinction between chapters. The price of the old version is also lower, and an octavo edition of the revised Bible — at $1.50 is no better a book than that published by the society at 75 cents. ‘“‘Tnat statement is strictly true,” said Mr. Upham, a _ »book-dealer. „The revised version has fallen flat. It has not been adopted by the Episcopal clergy of this country or in England. It is not wanted. Bishop Williams hit the matter rightly when he said the revisers were so saturated with Greek that they forgot how to use their English correctly.

O’MALLEY, ROHAN and the whole gang they are serving could not control a hun- dredth part of the votes that petitioned for the sprinkling ordinance, and they should not be allowed to defeat its opera- tion by a trick as transparent as it is sneaking. Many people who have no particular love for the President now insist that his wife must have a second term. The Presi- dent should bear this fact in mind and, by all means, take Mrs. CLEVELAND with him when he ‘‘swings around the circle.’ Women don’t vote, but they are, never- theless, a power in politics. mii -_ — WE do not know what the wild waves are saying to Mayor Francis at Manhat- tan Beach, butif they are telling him that St. Louis is not getting anything for the very valuable franchises now being voted to private corporations, he can answer that he did not have to go away from home to find that out. — X Tur Board of Inspection appointed by Secretary WHITNEY has decided that the Atlanta is practically useless; and the de- cision has of course raised the stereotyped howl along the line of the John Roach brigade. Mr. WINE should have put BILL CHANDLER and the New York Trib- une on the Board of Inspection. THEY have all learned to watch St. Louis and to adopt her ideas about attractions for big crowds, though somehow they can- not make them draw as she does. Presi- dent CLEVELAND is now said to be terror- stricken with notices of invitation com- mittees preparing to swoop down on him from all the cities in the Mississippi Val- ley. 8 an, a — — — Tun interests arrayed against the sprinkling bill were not respectable enough in motive or method to make a respectable show of open opposition to the measure in either branch of the Mu- nicipal Assembly. After it has passed both houses and been approved by the Mayor, a sneaking attempt to prevent its enforcement is made by manipulating the 4 rump of the Counoil Committee whose duty itis to report the contracts let for action by the Council. If the adjourn- ment of the Council should crown this trick with success, no amount of absentee- ism will excuse the Council itself. It can- not well afford to let its own self- respect be triſled with and the rights of the people be baffled in that way by one of its com- mittees in collusion with a ring. A LOGICAL CONSEQUENCE. Mr. PowDERLY, ina letter denying that he favors the exclusion of all foreigners from the United States except those who come with means sufficient to support them a year, takes occasion to discuss the im- migration question. His doctrine is that no immigrant should be admitted unless he is sure of employment. He says:: What does it matter to an American who it is ‘‘that takes his situation away from him and does the work for less pay?“ And again: I would shut out every man and ‘‘every woman who would deprive an ‘¢ amerioan citizen (native or naturalized) ‘‘of his employment. Mr. POWDERLY is treading on dangerous and delicate ground. He is attacking one of the fundamental principles of the American theory of government. But on the other hand he is entirely consistent as a protectionist. Sifted to the bottom, his demand is for nothing more norless than real protection for American workmen against any sort of competition with the foreign labor supply. His position is the logical application of the professions of the high protectionists. They demand that there shall be no com- petition with foreign labor in the sale of manufactured articles, and he that there shall be no such competition in the labor market itself. What is fair for one is fair for the other, and the protectionists can- not consistently deny this demand of the workmen. That they will deny it and will be the loudest in denunciation of what they will call an assault on human liberty there can be no doubt. The reason for it is mani- fest. Under the present system of protec- tion the manufacturer issecure from com- petition with his products and yet can se- cure cheap labor wherever he wills and put the profits in his pocket. It is worth double money to him and this is why Mr. POWDERLyY’s demand seems to the protected monopolist utterly wrong, unreasonable and inhuman. The poor workman on the other hand must pay the tariff price for his necessaries and accept what wages cheap foreign labor will allow him. Mr. POWDERLY’Ss position is the log- ical outcome of the protection idea and it reveals the sham and false pretense on which our present tariff system relies for its popularity. THE men who framed the fearful and wonderful Toledo platform show, in some of their statements, a disregard for cur- rent facts that is unique in its audacity. They take the view that, ifthe facts are against them, ‘‘so much the worse for the facts.“ Of course the regulation false- hood about the wages of Southern negroes was worked into their ro- mantic statement of ‘‘principles;’’ but, by an adroit oversight, they utterly ig- nored the state of affairs which exists in the northern mining regions, and which has been faithfully pictured in the New York WorLD. A Democratic convention in a Southern State could make an appro- priate counterblast to the amusing de- mand for Federal regulation of wages, by insisting that the negroes ofthe South shall be protected from the demoralizing competition of the white slave labor of Pennsylvania and Ohio. THERE is no reason for being mealy- mouthed about the position in which O’MALLEY and Rowan have had the hardihood to place themselves. There is not even a thin veil of decent pretense to cover it. They have simply undertaken the job of defeating the enforcement of the sprinkling ordinance and prolonging the harvest of a pampered ring. Their attitude is one which divests them of all claims to respect, and the Council should not show them any. It should make short work of the sneak game they are playing. Gov. MARMADUKE on his way to Europe expressed the opinion that President CLEVELAND isthe popular man in Missouri in spite of his mistakes and in spite of the fact that heis not just the kind of Presi- dent our people would prefer if they had n choice. Aud as a truthful witness Gov. MARMADUKE felt bound to explain to the New York interviewers that ‘‘President “CLEVELAND made some bad appointments “in St. Louis and throughout the State that ‘indicated that he had fallen into the hands of the politicians.“ WueEN the Stone amendment was knocked out, it was supposed that the last trick of the sprinkling contractors’ little game had beentrumped. But it seems that the last card marked at that secret caucus, which was not quite so secret as some present supposed, was put in the hands of O’MaLtry and Rowan of the Council’s Committee on Public Improve- ments. It is a mighty low-down play, and calls for a phenomenal amount of cheek in the players. Soux of Mr. BLaIne’s friends nurse the illogical suspicion that he wants to hasten home on account of sudden ill-health. People who become sick when abroad generally go to some of the springs on the Continent in order to re-establish their health. lf Mr. BLAINE intends to come back immediately it is because he fears that his boom is springing a leak; but such a fear would be unfounded. The Blaine boom has nothing to wear from the Ohio buccaneers. na _ DESPERATE attempts are being made to give theimpression that the new South is in favor of protection and to arouse pro- tection sentiment there in the interest of growing Southern industries. It is a shrewd attempt to deprive the South of her natural advantages over other seo- tions in some lines of manufacture. With the raw materials for manufacture at her doors, the reduction of the tariff to a rev- enue basis would give the South a prac- tical monopoly of some manufactures which cannot be maintained in less fa- vored sections without the aid of proteo- tion. A REPUBLICAN contemporary says that Democratic reform methods are respon- sible for the extensive forgeries committed by the rather notorious Harvey. Itis hoped that this explanation will dispel the unfounded impression that Harvey is responsible for his own rascality. It has not been ascertained who is responsible for the fact that Harvey is a staunch, dyed-in-the-wool Republican. oo — — Gov. FoRAKER says, in a magazine arti- cle, that the kind of fraternization con- templated by the Democratio party in- volves the ultimate payment for Confed- erate cotton, slaves and bonds. To call this a lie would be like painting the lily; but, after all, it would bea just and fair thing to pay for some of the cotton that was purloined by the rapacious TUTTLE. 1 n * 11 PRESIDENT CLEVELAND managed with- out becoming visibly intoxicated to breathe the same air with a St. Louis in- vitation committee, and also with one from Kansas City. But, being afraid of inhaling too much stimulant daring the torrid season, he now implores other cities to keep back their committees and send him their invitations by mail. The Tennis Elbow. From the New York Sun. We published in last Sunday’s Sun a very interesting disquisition from the Medical News upon a new disease known as the ‘*pitcher’s arm. That is the peculiar affec- tion endured by the muscles and tendons andeven bones of adeep-curving base ball pitcher after he has curved too much. We learn now through foreign advices thatthe champion lawn tennis player of the world, Mr. W. Renshaw of England, bas deen obliged to forego the competition of this year on account of a tennis elbow.’’ Medical works do not yet define exactly what a tennis elbow is. Inthe caseof the pitcher’s arm, we know precisely what it is. Pitching an in-curve, as we are informed by Dr. Leuf of Philadelphia, hurts the brachi- alis anticus. The out-curve affects the in- fraspinatus. The down-curve plays hob with the serratus magnus. And if the up-ourve has been indulged in to excess the supinator bre- vis is not worth a cent. But there are almost the same curves in ten- nis. There are the cuts, right, left, over and underhand, and all sorte of back strokes and twists which go to produce, as is seen in the case of Mr. Renshaw, the tennis elbow. Doubt- less that disease bas made its appearance in. this country,and perhaps some unfortunate player who has an ‘‘elbow’’ may be able, through the help of his physician, to inform his fellow citizens as to ite cause and effect, that they may duly profit thereby. Has any one in this country a tennis elbow?’’ Bucket-Shop and Board Gambling. U From the New York WORLD. Information comes that the Chicago Board of Trade has started in on a crusade against the bucket-shops.’’ Ithas started in on a great many crusades of this kind without pro- ducing any permanent effect. Laws have been enacted to suppress the shops, butin vain, probably for the reason that the public fails to see any marked difference between the character of much ofthe Board’s business and that of the bucket- shops. Bucket-shop gambling is bad enough, but it is less detrimental to the community than Board of Trade gambling. It does not inter- fere with the natural course of trade and place artificial prices on the necessaries of life. It does not do just enough real business to invite people who care for their reputations to gam- ble undercover. Itdoes not lure bank officers into losing millions of other people’s money, however it may tempt the smaller fry. Bucket-shop gambling is but a reflex of the semi-masked evil of the Boards of Trade, upon which, in fact, it bases its existence. Reports of prices upon bet in the Boards be- come public property when they leave the Board room, and the efforts to keep telegraph companies from sending them to bucket-shops that will pay for the service will doubtless fail. That is what the Chicago Board is trying to do. Tailor-Made Dresses. From the Philadelphia Record. Whatever approaches the tailor dress in general effect should be worn only on strictly informal, out-of-door occasions. Those who follow closely the demands of fashion would not think of appearing at any formal gathering arrayed in one of them. Care should be taken, therefore, that such suits are confined solely to the street, morning drives or business occasions. For more dressy use the same fabrics may be made up with various combination mate- rials, or, indeed, be used wholly by them- selves, the fashion being much more elaborate, and the general effect, while it could not be improved for the plain, handsomely finished dress, is by far the more elegant; yet the ad- dition of afew folds or the different arrange- ment of the draperies may make an almost complete transformation tn the style of the costume and render it appropriate for the house or the many smaller occasions where fine woolen suits are ditogether appropriate and desirable. Is a Mustie a Garter? From the Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. Justice Kekewich was occupied yester- day with the hearing of an action relating to patents in dress improvers. The court was strewn with various specimens of these articles, and considerable amusement was caused by the spectacle of a Judge and severn leading counsel, ineluding the Attorney- General, arguing gravely on the intrieates of the various designs for dress improvers. Mr. Justice Kekewich, after looking at several designs, said: ‘‘I hope you are going to producé another of these articles, Mr. As- ton, which I do not see here. It is called the Jubilee. [Laugbter.] Mr. Aston—I have | never heard of it, my Lord. His Lordship— It is one which when a lady sits down plays the National Anthem. [Great Luughter. } Lateron Mr. Aston argued that a dress im- was virtually the same u u garter. Mr. Aston—Yes I do, my Lord. They are the same, though not in size. His Lordship—Very well, Mr. Aston, I can see I shall want a jury ot matron on this case before it is done. Europe and Its Colonies. From the Pall Mall Gazette. different countries—by the numberof inhab- by that of their subjects all the world over? On the latter basis a French writer has recently compiled some interesting statistics. Thus, in- Europe has only 4,000,000 inhab- itants, but the total number of persons living under the Portuguese flag is nearly twice as many (7,896,628). Of 24,000,000 Spanish subjects, only 16,000,000 live in Europe. The population ot the Netherlands is only 4,000,000, but the total number of Dutch subjects is 81,000,000. On this same basis Germany is far less popu- lous than France. It is France, says the writer we are quoting, wherever the French flag flies. The number of Frenchmen thus in- terpreted is 70,798,088 (of whom 58,218,903 live in France-in-Europe), but that of the Ger- mans is only a little more than 47,000,000. The total number of British subjects, we may add, is put at 306,871,514. England and Rome in Decline. From the London Saturday Review. We cannot fall, if we direct our thoughts to the subject, to be struck with the analogy, be- tween our great empire and that of ancient Rome, and at the same time, without being pessimists, to feel that there is grave cause for anxiety lest we should share the same fate and crumble away to nothingness and become a mere name and a page, though a large and im- portant one in history. Itseemsas if we are destined, as the Romans were, on reaching the zenith of our fame and prosperity, to relapse into a state of apathy, indifference, and lux- ury. and to commit that most fatal error of living on the reputation we have gained and the successes we have achieved among the na- tions of the earth. There can be no doubt that when most obstacles have been overcome, and when the struggle for existence and for great- ness has been triumphantly concluded, na- tions are apt to give way toa longing for rest, the accumulation of wealth, and the enjoy- ment of luxury.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCR. NEw YORK, July 29.—The WORLD says: ‘‘Of all the fustian crowded into party platforms this year, the declaration of the Maryland Democrats that ‘upon the continued and just success of the Democratic party rest the safety and security of republican institutions and the liberties of the people,’ is the worst. For twenty years the Democrats denied with scorn the same assumption by the Republicans, and insisted that a government of the people is safeinthe hands of any majority of the peo- ple. The peace and prosperity of the country under Democratic control justify this position. ‘The security of republican institutions and the liberties of the people’ don’t depend on any set of politicians. And God be thanked for it.“ THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘Why, in a week the Ohio Democrats passed a resolution giving an un- ualified endorsement of the Administration. he resolution was passes unanimously. It was even passed with cheers. Yesterday the Ohio Republicans, in State convention, a resolution declaring John Sherman to be the choice of the Buckeye Republicans for the Re- publican nomination for the Presidency. The resolution was also passed unanimously. It was also passed with cheers. Everybody who has studied the newspapers of the t few weeks knows the real value of the Ohio Re- ae declaration for Sherman. Every- dy who understands the composition ot the Democratic convention, understands the real importance of the endorsement of the Admin- istration. In Character these two resolutions were essentially the same. Does any Repubii- can think that the Sherman endorsement was worth, asa piece of political sincerity, the paper it was written on?’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: If the Republican con- vention had been less earnest, less patriotic, or less wise in its selection of candidates, nev- ertheless victory should have crowned its ef- forts, if for no other reason than because the Democratic organization in that State has proved so unworthy, so di ced and so criminal, and has been guilty of such ‘moral treason’ to the cause of self-government. It is hard to believe that under any circumstances the voters of this generation in Ohio can again trust the power to such a party.’’ THE TIMES.

When the Acadia returned from the Bay last week it was understood thas her boilers were sadly in need of being over. hauled, and that she would be here for a wee or more. Her sudden departure at dusk hes given rise to many conjectures. It is deni that the Yantic’s departure has any conte. tion with the refusal oft Collecyp Foley of Souris to permit t captain of the fisherman to shipped back home in a fishing vessel. . the Yantio’s presence in that vicinity wij; 1 very opportune if needed to take those they home, Meanwhile, reports of wholesale poag, ing by Americans come from Prince Edv Island.

Collector Foley Persists in His Refusal- Har- assing American Fishermen. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratun. Souris, Prince Edward Island, July N. -The American fishermen are still here. Itis un- derstood that Consul-General Phelan has been in telegraphic correspondence with the de- partment officers in regard to Collector Foley's outrageous action in refusing to permit the shipping home of the fishermen upon the first opportunity that presents itself. The reply of the department is understood tobe evasive. The department wants more detailed informa tion in regard to the matter. Meanwhile Collector Foley Hm yg oy in his refusal, and bluntly asserts at he is acting under the exisiting treaty laws, and that he will maintain his stand till otherwise ordered from Ottawa. Collector Foley seems to be under the impression that if he permitted these des. titute men to be shipped on a fishing vessel instead of going home direct they might be transferred to other vessels outside the limit and pursue their vocation during the remuin- der of the season. He bases his stand on the clause referring to the — of sailors in Canadian ports. United States Consular Agent Carleton applied to the collector for ermission to forward them as fishermen in s, but the collector said he could not t the application. It is contended that was no necessity for the Consular Agent to ask the customs officer whether the men could proceed on American vessels, but that if it was desired he should have 1 the master of some vessel to take m, Which would not be a violation of any Cana- dian law or the fish treaty. Dispatches from Halifax announcing that the United States war ship Yantic had left there for the Northern Bay causes the liveliest satisfaction among the American fishermen here. If the men are not home before her arrival, there is not the slightest doubt that they will be taken on board the vessel, The idea that the people of Prince Eaward Island are unanimous in re g the action of the Canadian officials in us harassing United States fishermen is very erroneous, and grave fears are expressed Dy many thatthe harsh and vexatious actions of the Oanadians will so enrage the American people that President Oleveland will be com- pelled to PROCLAIM THE RETALIATORY LAW — last sessipn of Congress. The ollowing incident illustrates the feeling on the part of some of the people of the island who are prevented from selling their produce to American fishermen.

Julius Reidel is just now passing through an epoch in his life that he will not look back upon ever without a cold trembling down his vertebra. met with a crisis yesterday, he managed to get through without entire defeat. Mr. Reidel is employed by Wm. N. Tivy, a dealer in butter and eggs at 424 N.Second street,as city salesman. He has been there for a year and previous to that time was with E. Wetzell at Chestnut and Second streets for three years. Neither employer knew that he had been married, and both believed him to be single. In the rear of the establishment is a saloon owned by C. Phillip Boeshenz and & ing, plump and pretty serving Lena Heiman, assisted Mrs. Boeshenz in the conduct of the household machinery. Tivy store is on the corner of Vine and Second streets, and the Boeshenz saloon fronts on Vine street. Reidel became acquainted with the girl soon after going into the store, and laid siege to ber heart with marked success. Time went on, as time will in such cases, and Miss Heiman had her photograph taken by Charles F. Meier, 1406 South Broadway. She madea very pretty picture, and she gave one of the prints to ber admiring Reidel. He treasured it in his coat pocket, and one day carelessly left his coat at home. article of dress with pockets in it is a terrible temptation to a woman. His wife saw the coat and yielding to the impulse went through the papers, job lots of string, and raffle tickets that didn’t draw the prize. In the midst of the pile she found the hotograph. It was a dangerous moment. Reidel, happily, was not there. He was selling butter an in biissful unconsciousness ot the storm the pretty photograph had raised. She called a councii of neighbors. That is a dangerous thing fora husband’s peace. As long as she relies on her own wits he may circumvent her but when the cold-blooded experience o the neighborhood considers his case the result is bound to be his discomfture. One of the neighbors saw the Meier imprint onthe photograph. We will find out who she is,’’ he said. Her name and address was obtained on satisfactory representations. The address was lls Vine street. Mrs. under convoy of a neighbor, visited Mrs. Boeshenz. LENA HEIMA N was not there.

Mr. Crane’s experiences in the matrimonial line have not all been rose-colored, yet he Is 80 far from despairing that yesterday found him one of the happiest if not one of the most javenile bride ms who was ever congra ted by old fgiends. His first wife was a maiden named Ann Day. who was the daughter of an English army officer. She made things unpleasant running away with one Dr. Dorrance. . Crane consoled himself by marrying an estimable ey who died several — ago, leaving him chi diess and alone in H ee han as Mr mpty enjoyment of a beautiful home and dsome fortune.

Yet, notwithstanding his frequent visits, the neighbors, who are not usually wholly oblivious to what is going on around them, had no suspicion of the true state of affairs which existed till last Sunday, when the announcement of the engagement was made in the shape of cards inviting about forty people, mostly named Speer and Orane, and near! related to the bride and groom, to the wedding. Mr. Crane and his new wife live in Pine ‘rook, not far from Orange and — and it was at Miss Speer’s home at THE WEDDING TOOK PLACE.

A petition for divorce was filed to-day in the Circuit Court by Mrs. Mary Haffey against William J. Haffey. They were married in this city on the 10th of September, 1883, and lived together until the 9th of the present month. Mrs. Haffey complains that shortly after the wedding her husband commenced to quarrel with her for no cause and he abused her without reason, calling her vile names and insulting her constantly by re- flections upon her character. He frequently, in the most cruel manner, accused her falsely of being untrue tohim. One day in June 1886, he attempted to choke her and he abused her more than once inthe presence of her mother. Mrs. Haffey further alleges that her husband was at all times cross and cruel, and never had a kind word for her, but she bore it as for years inthe hope that some day e would act differently. As time wore on, however, Mrs. Haffey alleges that her hus- band became more insulting and cruel, and one day at the beginning of the present month 1 seized her by the throat in the presence of her mother, called her a shocking name and ordered her to leave the house. In despair she gathered together her few pecans effects and went to reside with a lady riend, where she is now located. One child was born of this unfortunate mar e, but the mother does not ask or its custody, he she is not able to make suitable provision forit. The child is at present in the care of her husband's sister, and Mrs. Haffey is quite willing that it shail remain in such good hands. She states that her husband earns a good salary and is pos- sessed of some personal property. She asks for alimony and for an allowance for the legal expenses of the divorce proceeding. Rosemond Forsaken. A petition seeking a decree of divorce was filed to-day in the Circuit Court by Rosemond White against Arthur White. Rosemond and Arthur were married on the 18th of February, 1884. Mrs. White alleges that she treated her husband with kindness and affection and did everything in her power to make him happy and comfortable, but that he did not reciprocate. She alleges that he subjected her to various indignities, and finally on the lst of October, 1885, he deserted her without any cause or provocation and neverreturned. He made no provieion for hersupport. She asks the court to restore her maiden name, Rose- mond Payne. Five Years of Matrimony, Mrs. Mary.E. Johnston entered a suit in the Circult Court to-day seeking a decree of di- vorce from Edward M. Johnston. They were married in this city on the lith of January, 1882. The separation took placeafew days since and Mrs. Johnston alleges that it was brought about by her husband’s intemperate habits and cruel and barbarous treatment. She getting drunk and coming home in that condition, raising disturbances and rendering the condi- tion of his wife intolerable. e frequently threatened to kill her, and more than once or- dered ber to leave the house. He often cursed her in the presence of others, and on one oo- casion, when she was very sick and needed sympathy and kind words, he poured upon ber a torrent of shameful abuse. Upon another occasion, to her intenseshame and mortification, he came home under the influence of liquor and undressed himself in the presence of a room full of company. Mrs. Johuston alleges that one child was born of the marriage and she asks for its custody. New Incorporations.

Stanley’s trouble at Stanley Pool, and says: “The general sentiment is that the conduct ofthe American Baptist missionaries is quite reprehensible. Stanley has done much for the cause of missions, and deserves most consid- erate treatment of ali missionaries.’’ The Baptist organs do not take much stock in this complaint, as Stanley's row was over a steam- boat, and the Methodists believe the Baptists wrong In everything relating to water.

Brother Gardner Demonstrates the Good- ness of Providence to Mean Human Nature. From the Detroit Free Press. “One Sag Sot convinces me dat de Lawd am a good Lawd,“ said Brother Gardner, as the meeting opened, ‘‘ar’ de way He uts up wid human natur’. One has only o put on his hat an’ take a walk aroun’ de block to convince hisself dat if we had any odder Lawd ’cept de one we've got dar’ would be a powerful shakin’ up of airth ebery day in de week an’ twice on Sunday. ‘‘Las’ week Pickles Smith went off fishin’. He had no bizness to reason dat he’d eben git a bite, but he just sot down an’ figgered dat he’d bring home six tons of bass an’ pickerel. He went, an’ he fished, an’ he bobbed, an’ he spit on his bait, an’ he cotched one leedle sunbass about as big as a two-cent piece. He um home mad as a wet hen, an’ de way he took on an’ skipped Thursday evenin’ pray’r meetin’ was awful to h’ar. De fack dat he hasn’t been jerkéd outer his butes an’ tied up in fo’ hard knots proves how willin’ de Lawd ar’ to gin human na- tur’ anoder chance. „A few days ago Trustee Pullback drawed $25 outer de bank—his savings fur de last ten y’ars—an’ purchased a mule. He calkerlated that mule was worf $75, an’ dat he had made de biggest He slapped hisself on an’ chuckled, an’ he went to pray’r meetin’ an’ sung until he could be heard a mile, but arter fo’ days he went out to de ba’n an’ found dat mule stone dead. Den what happened? He sulked an’ ripped, an’ cussed, an’ he declar’d dat de Lawd was agin him. De Lawd was all right as long as Pickles was makin’ $50, but all wrong when he was losin’ $25. He am heah to- night an’ still alive an’ in good health, which ar’ proof agin dat de Lawd forgives ninety an’ nine times, an’ realizes the weakness of human natur! ‘“‘T war’ passin’ a saloon the odder day in which war’ seben or eight drunken makin’ beasts of Drink war’ takin’ bread from of deir chill’en. Drink deir brains, bluntin’ men. Drink war’ "em. soakin’ up berality as we kin „If I should sot out to be an infidel I should stop short as I looked at the sun an’ moon—at de mountains an’ valleys—at de brooks an’ rorest—each one a power of an infinite bein’. If out to deny de Lawd, I wouldn’t hev to go a block to find plenty of proofs dat He not only exists an’ rules an’ am present wid us, but that His gentleness an’ forgivin’ disposishun ar’ all dat stands between us an roof of de should sot sich a rattlin’ of dry bones as would keep de h’ar on eand from Sunday mawnin’ to Saturday night.” A Standard for Servants.

The guest assembled promptly at 3o’clock in a cor. tain part of the park, and shortly after the band struck up the national anthem an. nouncing the arrival of the im perig) party. The Mikado wore a rich gold and black uniform, similarto that of a genera); the German army, and bore himself v stiffly, not deigning to smile even att ambassadors. with whom alone he ey changed greetings. His face is heavy ay not attractive. His hair and eyes aul slight mustache are black as coal, and bs dark complexion has no trace of the 14 which brightens many of the Japan faces.

Walter Powell in the Toronto Week. In a broad, leafy road on the south side of. Wiesbaden, just where the sun strikes hottest and the roses swell sweetest, there lives an old lady belonging to an ancient German family. In her charming salon, arranged inthe queer, stiff fashion at- fected in the early part of this century, Fraulein von Scherf has, oftener than she can count, received the great Kaiser Wil- helm, who never fails, when he is at his palace in the market-place, to 8 visits to her iu her villa in colas Strasse. He sits on the cornflower-colored brocaded sofa, and speaks of the time when all the world was young, when limbs did notache and eyes were un- dimmed, of the days when Elsa, Princess Ratziville, was queen of his heart. The old maid listens, and answers; tells how she conveyed his love letters to her friend, and fondly recalls what Elsa said, how Elsa looked, when reading those precious sheets. They live again each small event.

The Paris correspondent of the Standard states to-day that a letter has been fe- ceived from Dhuleep Singh, in which he states that he has had aninterview with the Sheik Djemal Eddin at Moscow. The ncipal matter discussed was the eitua- on in Central Asia and the means of in- juring the British authority in India and Afghanistan. tye, Eddin reported that the secret conspiracy he inaugurated some time 0 against ugland in Afghanistan an India was assuming large proportions, and that a general con- flacration would be sure to ensue in the near future. Djemal Eddin, during his stayin Paris some time ago, bad several interviews with two members of the American Council of the Fenian Brother- hood, who were then on a visit to the French capital. The result of these in- terviews was, it seems, a promise made by the Fenian#@that a few hundred Irish- American officers should, whenever the Sheik might require their services, be despatched via Russia to the Afghan frontier. ‘‘I have the above, adds the Standard correspondent, ‘‘from an Irish source which hag hitherto proved fairly trustworthy.’’ ),W.BOOTH& SONS _ GRAIN COMMISSION HOUSE, Room No. 6, Mitchell Building, No. 212 N.

The above is 4180 true of portions of Indiana and Illinois south of the Ohlo & Mississippi Railroad, but north of that the crop is a full average one and of excellent quality. The corn crop unques- tionably suffered for want of rain, but fortu- nately, owing to the favorable weather early in the season, was planted early and gota good start, hence itis well rooted and abie to stand more drouth than usual. With timely rains the crop will doubtless recover rapidly from the effecte of the drouth, and as the acreage is larger, tne yield will probably be an average one. Oats are less plentiful as compared with last year and of poorer qual ity. The hay crop isa good one.——Beginning next Monday, a provision call will be held on the Chicago Board of Trading, commencing at 10:30 a. m. Wheat was heavy and sagging this — even without much stuff pressing upon the market for sale and a steady short demand taking care of all the offerings. The continued heavy receipts and increasing stock and the sickly appearance of all the markets of this country proved too much for the crowd. No one would buy unless he was al- ready short, and there was no outside specu- lation to help the market out. The failure of corn to boom proved a depressing in- fiuence, also. Public cables were quiet and steady, but later some private cables from Liverpool reported 6d advance on wet weath- er. be market, which had declined de, turned on this and the firmer aspect of other points, but it seemed impos- sible to get much rally out of prices, which moved up and down within the very small range of Mo and closed une be. low yesterday. Spot grades were lover, No. 2 red selling %c off, though recovering ue later, but the only demand for it was purely specnu- lative, and mainly sofor the other grades, also.

Corn opened up strong and ‘sc higher, as the report was of clear and hot weather all through the corn section, and the increase in ‘‘fring’’ of the crop in many localities. But after the eariy buyin orders were filled the market became weak and declined, losing all the early advance, except for year. Subsequently the market was tame and fluctu- ated withina ve small range, a late rail in Chicago, not affecting it appreciabiy, an still later there was enough corn out for sale to put the market down again. The close was weak at we above yesterday. Spot grades were firm and very quiet. Demand was light, and mainly from order dealers, a little No. 2seliinw to shorts. No. 2, 0 in St. L.

Oats were weak and a fraction lower, but the trading continued small, and but little interest was elicited.

The New Move of the Wall-Paper Manu- facturers’ Association. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. New YorRK, July 29.—The American Wall- Paper Manufacturers’ Association, which com- prises fifteen of the largest manufacturers of the country, is about eight years old. It was formed to maintain uniform prices and keep control of the business in, the hands of its fifteen members. It made a schedule of prices so high, however, that they tempted others into the business. Numerous small factories sprang up and copied the patterns of the pool in cheaper goods at their own prices. Business was brisk with the outsiders and — they made such inroads on the pool's trade that something had to be done. o the pool men met at Delmonico’s on July 19 and resolved to discontinue the agreement regarding prices. This threw the market open and prices fell, but they did not fall so much as was expected. The demand developed surprisingly, in re- sponse to lower prices, and the pool men who were prepared to sell close to cost if need be, in order to ruin their outside competitors, found their surplus stocks taken at fair prices and more in demand. This was healthy, inal- cating, as it did, a live-and-let-live market, but the pool men were not satisfied. There had been no complaint that they were not making money; the complaint was that the outside manufacturers were making as much ormore. The outsiders, of course, wanted the pool to continue and even desired to enter it it they could do so without too onerous conditions. They found they were not wel- come, and have pursued the even tenor of their way. When they were expected to tremble they refused to do so. Another move was evidently necessary on the part of the pool. On Tuesday, according- ly they met again and resoived to make prices for next year, which would leave no profit at vil. The members of the association are pe- ountarly strong, and the outsiders are supposed to be weak and dependent for continued existence on the regular. orderly prosecution of their business. If they are compelled by competi- tion to capitulate upon such terms as the pool may dictate, or go out of the business, the ob- ject of the pool will be accomplished, compe- tition will be killed and consumers will again pay prices dictated by the pool. When these are once re-established it will not be difficult to recover the losses entailed by the freeze- out. But the smali manufacturers with their smaller percentage of expenses think they can weather the gale and keep afloat until the pool has spent all its surpius energies, and is willing to do Dusiness and allow others to do business on fair terms. While the war lasts, consumers will buy wall papers at prices cheaper than those heretofore prevailing. EVERY arrangement is complete to make the Missouri Amateur Athletic Club sports a grand success. A TOWNSHIP WRANGLE, New Officials Cause a Sensation by Investi- gating the Collector’s Accounts. By Telegraph to the Fosr-DOts eren LINDEN, N. J., July 29.—The residents of Linden Township, which includes Linden on the Pennsyivania Road and Roselle on the New Jersey Central,have been more or less aroused over the statementthat the accountsof Col- lector Mulford were to be examined by an ex- pert. The collector has held his position for many years, and is one of the best-known men in Union County. He is nearly 80 years of age, and has honestly traneacted its affairs all the time and has entire charge of the township's affairs, and none of the town committee for years back have ever bothered their heads about the matters intrusted tohim. Lastspring however, there was quite a radical change in the personnel of the town committee, and several old stagers found themselves sup- planted by a number of younver and more progressive men. This arose largely from the action of the —— men of the Linden sec- tion, who concluded it was time to have some * in the methods of governing tlie town- ship. After the new body organized one of Its first moves wus to have thecollectorrender a state- ment of just how the township's financial affairs stood. The motion, of course, passed, but not without mach criticism from the other members, for what theygtermed the freshness of the 2 — from the Linden end of the township. Several meetings passed by before the statement came from the collector, and as the committee could not seem to make it harmonize, the collector made out an- other. This was no better than the first, and several conferences were held, at which more or less bad blood was aroused. Some of the meetings were 60 — that threats of per- sonal violence, followed by other threats of suits for damages to character, were made. The fresh ones persisted and finally carried a motion to appoint an expert accountant to atraighten out the collector’s books. The troubie is that the collector has more money on hand than his books call for. Nothing that has happened in the township for years has excited the old residents so much, and it fur- nishes the sole topic of discussion at the trysting places. Thomas Carlyle, The great Scotch author, suffered all his life with dyspepsia, which made his own life mis- erable and caused his best and truest friends nota little pain because of his fretfulness. Dyspepsia generally arises from disease of the liver and as Dr. Pierce's ‘*Golden Medical Dis- covery’ cures all diseuses of this great gland, it follows that while all can not be Carlyles, even with dyspepsia, all can be free from the malady, while emulating his virtues. IN AN OPIUM DIVE. — -—_.—. A Policeman’s Timely Rescue of a Little 8-Year-Old Girl. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcr. PHILADELPHIA, July 29.—Kight - year- old Mamie Ennis of New York was rescued a week ago from the Chinese opium dive, No. 823 Race street, and the woman who took her there, Alice Brent, was yesterday sent to the House of Oorrection for six months, by Magis- trate Pope. The Brent woman told the Court she lived in Mulberry street, near Canal, New York. The little girl insisted on coming over to Philadelphia and her mother con- sented. The Brent woman said her husband was in the Eastern Penitentiary. The sto of how the child was found was told by the policeman. Two weeks ago Alice Brent spoke to Officer Sanky of the Sixth Dis- trict on the street. she asked where she could get lodging for herself and Mamie. She was sent to the Ashiand House, Seventh and streets. A few days later the officer no- ticed the woman on the street and asked wher the child was. She replied that it was stup- ping with a friend. During the day the woman was seen going in and out of No. 8238 Race street. The basement of the place isa popular opium joint, with a flourishing trade, the patrons being about equally divided be- tween whites and Chinese. Two days later Officer Sanky saw Mamie looking out of one of the windows of the house. The place was raided and the Brent woman and others were found in a room with a dosen Chinese. Mamie was there too. A Woman’s Suicide.

Manager Byrne Indulges in Some Strong Talk—Gossip About the Midsummer Meeting of the Missouri Ama‘eur Athletic Club To- Morrow Te Condition of the “Spider’s’’ Hands—Sporting News and Notes—Base Ball Clips and Chips. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr ATR. wew YORE, July 8 naturally the powers that be have found it necessary to deny that the dissension in the American Associa- tion is of any consequence. Itis now claimed that the Metropolitans, Louisvilles and Cleve- lands will not leave the Association if the per- centage system is adopted. The provision made is necessury to prevent the naming of the authority for the statements published, and is merely a subterfuge. It may be put down fora fact that the percentage system will not be adopted and that the Mets, at least, will withdraw from the Association at the end of the present season. Mr. Byrne of Brooklyn said: ‘‘The Brooklyn Club will never agree to the adoption of the percentage system, and you may say that only to-day I received telegrams from four clubs agreeing to stand by me. That settles the matter. As to the meeting of September3I want to say one thing: I want it understood that in this fightI will have no underhand business. I will have everything open and above-board, and the local newspapers will be represented in that meeting. MR. CAYLOR, who will possibly represent the Mets, is a newspaper correspondent; so is Harry Wel- don of Cincinnati, and George Munson, the Secretary of Chris Von der Ahe, is a newspa- per writer; and they will be present as club representatives and have an inside track for news. I don’t propose to have them in a posi- tion to get all facts, while the local report- ers are forced to hustle for points, and I will insist that the home men be allowed to see this matter In its true light and obtain all the facts. Moreover, Mr. Von der Ahe will be permitted to go into the League. Instead of preventing him going I shall aid him and will stew his path with roses. He will ud it thorny enough when he getsin. He will find it pretty rough travelin with such men as John B. Day, Soden an Spalding. He won't be able to tell them what to do and he cannot bulldoze them. For my part, however, I believe thata team win- ning the 4 — should be allowed a percentage while they hold ethe title. A cham- pionship team is without doubt a drawing card and deserves more than a mere pennant. But we will not have a general adoption of the p:rcentage system. Now as to he statement by Mr. Watrous that. he will exact 40 per cent for playing the Brooklyns at Ridge- wood. It is true that I will pay him that amount next Sunday, but it was agreed on by Mr. Caylor and myself. We had two post- oned games with the Mets, and on consult- ing the schedule found that we could play one in September and the other in October. Mr. Caylor showed me that‘to play at St. George in October would be A LOSING VENTURD for hisclub. Weare scheduled to play Cleve- land next Sunday and be idle Monday, while Cleveland was to play the Ouban Giants for $100 guarantee. 80 agreed with Caylor that if he would pay Cleveland $100 guarantee Il would play the Mets Sunday and Cleveland Monday. That was arranged, and I give the Mets er cent. Thus the Brooklyns make several hundred dollars Sunda the Mets 800 or $00, Cleveland makes 5100 and the Brook Iyns are enabled to ll in a blank day on the schedule. It was purely a business arrange ment, and not by any means an exaction. I uess when this cruel war is over that the rooklyn club will have proved its ability to take care of itself. Von der Ahe has been al- most crazy since Memorial Day when I paid him more money fortwo games than he ever before received, and so he wants the percent- age plan, but he won't get it. — — : — Browns, 5; Baltimore, 4. The Browns yesterday won a game from the Baltimores at Oriole Park, and an exciting contest it was. Kilroy and Caruthers were the opposing pitchers, but the left-handed man was batted more freely than the St. Louis itcher. The champions also played a much etter flelding game than the Baltimores.

The most exciting gam thus far played in the country tournament came off yesterday between Hazard and Hickman of the Kirkwood club and Garnett and Booth ofthe Webster Club. The first set was won by the Kirkwood team and the second by their opponents. The third which was a deuce set finally resulted in a hard-earned victory for Garnett and Booth after seven deuces had been played. The playing was almost fauitiess and very sharp at critical points. The finals which deci the country championship will be played off Sat- urday afternoon between George Webster and Robinson of the Old Orchard club and the winners of yesterday. * Clips and Chips. Hecker is again pitching a winning game. About this time last year he won eleven suc- céssive contests. This warm weather has thawed out the old man’s lame arm. In releasing Jones, the Cincinnati Club made a great mistake. Jones is now batting ter- rificaily hard and fielding superbly for the Metropolitans. He can give Nicol or Tebeau cards and spades in the game and then beat them out. The base ball enthusiast is a peculiar mor- tal, says the Washington Post. When his club loses he leaves the grounds swearing at some particular pluyer, and vowing never to 0 7 but the next day sees him on the leaching boards yelling like a wild Indian and, if is team wins, trying to convince every one in the vicinity thatitis the best club in the country. The Cleveland Club has been greatly strengthened. Capt. Snyder has made fine pitchers out of Crowel and Morrison. Mun yan, the new catcher, isa lucky find anda strong man. Carroll, the new left fielder isa une batter and base-runner. Added to this ee ä ay amy praying in good style, anc Otaling. en and Str batting with telling effect. io No wonder Morris will not do his best wo for the Pittsburg Club. He has been Aged nearly the whole ot his salary this season. On lust Monday when he walked up to the treas- urer’s offic@with the other players to draw his two weeks’ salary,he was told there was noth. ing due him, as he had been fined $142 because a boy in Ph.ladelphia said he had seen Morris drink a giass of beer while in that city. This too, after he had won a game from the Phila. deiphia Club by finer work than any other Pittsburg player has done this year. Von der Ahe’s threat to desert the Ass - tion and join the League if President Wieun is not 1 18 a senseless piece of buli dozing. he trouble is that Von der Ahe has been balked in his attempt to play the autocrat in the Association, and is wrathy because he cannot run things as he pleases.

It is natural that interest centers in the 220 yards event, in which the representative ama- teur athletes of the East and West will meet. But it will be well to bear in mind that it isa handicap, and that there are other fast and promising ones who will face the starter. The winner of the Adams-Murphy heat will have a tough job on bis hands to down the winners of other heats and the event will remain in doubt until the string is broken in the final heat. Should Lingo, Wynne and Wyman win their heats in the 220 yards, the final, with either Adams or Murphy as contestant, will bea race worth seeing, and very fast time will be recorded. Each gentleman named is in prime condition, with the possible exception of Lingo, who began work rather late for a ‘*bruising’’ race, while each is noted for last- ing qualities, and for hting every inch of ground from scratch to string. Old athletes who have watched closely the work of the sprinters in their preliminary ex- ercises at Union Grounds, are inclined to the opinion that a dark one“! will win the 220 event. If either Adams or Murphy wins the final heat, the time made will be very close to the best on record. It will be well to watch Wyman and Wynne in the final heat of the 220 event. There will be only a yard between them atthe start, and the race between them will be a very stubborn one. They are very evenly matched and will be very close to the string with the winner. The Union Park Grounds are in splendid condition forthe midsummer games to- mor- row. ‘The cinder path has received careful at- tent on and is in better shape than ever for good performances and fast time. ock out Weir; and for this reason the battle — brought to a close. The Spider reluct- antly consented to a draw, but the weakene condition of his hands would admit of no other alternative, and it is doubtful, as previ- ously stated, if he ever engages in another knock-out fight. It is his present intention to go back to the profession he followed before 1 the ring that of training horses. He followed this business for many years in the old country, and met with con- siderable success. Thinking that his services would be of value to horsemen in this locality, he tendered them to Mr. Judge of 133 Brighton street, who Immediately accepted them, and ut in his charge the promising bay mare udgment, who at present has a record of 2:29. The purpose of the Spider will be to bring this time down to 2:18, and he is sanguine of doing it. He will be located at Beacon Park for the present. Mitchell Won. last night at Cleveland, and was witnessed by about 100 spectators. Mitchell forced the fighting, and at the end of the sixth round the fight was declared in his favor. Sporting Gossip. Next week McAuliffe will begin to work off his beef. Barry, the world’s champion heavy-weight thrower, has joined the New York Athietic Club, and will remain in this country. Negotiations are going on for a catch-as- catch-can wrestling match between Mervine Thompson and ‘‘Strangler’’ Lewis. On the first open date that Lewis has atter July 29th the men will meet. Big Pat Killen has engaged Little Casino (Tommy Warren) to train him for his near- approaching conflict with Patsy Cardiff. Killen has been training for sometime, and Warren is to put the finishing touches on—the brass knobs, as it were. A correspondent writes from Boston to the Daily News that Joe Lannon has been engaged by Pat oe to box John L. Sullivan at the latter’s exhibition in Boston of August 8. Lannon is to receive $250 if he allows Sullivan to knock him out in the first round. If he at- tempts to break the agreement or to defeat Sullivan, who is in no condition, he is to re- ceive nothing. Kilrain defeated Lannon some time ago in Boston after a desperate battie, and Sheedy thinks that if the public can only believe that Suilivan knocked Lannon out in one round that it would depreciate Kilrain’s reputation. The affair leaked out beforehand and the sensation the arranged knock-out would have made has been spoiled. Kilrain ought to win. He is taller, heavier and longer in the reach thanthe Englishman, and fully as hard a hitter. If report speaks truely he is considerabiy quicker than Smith while his fistic experience is a good deal larger than that of his intended opponent. Smith has really met but one first-class man in the ring, and that man was Alf Greenfield,who wus stale atthe time. While the great mass of Americans will regret that the champion of champions has not been selected to do battle with Smith,they will nevertheless give Kilrain loyal support, and they will demand that those who have his interests in charge do all that can be done to further them. Billy Mad- The ‘‘tug of war’’ has five entries and will ‘urnish amusementto all who are inclined to that class ofsports. A very decided feeling of rivalry has grown up between the societies who send representatives forthis event, and the outcome of the ‘‘tug’’ is looked forward to with unusual interest. Paul Weiss is named by the knowing ones as the winner of the hammer-throwing contest. Paul has been doinz good and heavy work, but he has not a sure thing on first prize. The other contestants, Maxwell, Nuss and Wein- eke, are also making a fine showing in prelim- inary work, and it is expected that one of them will force Weiss to his best. The mile run has ten entries, all of whom are expected to start. Ihe Chicago contingent, Cahill, French and Hassel, make concessions to the other contestants, the ‘‘front man’’ starting 150 yards to the good of Cahill on the scratch. The race should, and no doubt will, De a Une one. If Cahill is driven to his best good amateur time will be made. Tom is fast if compelled to let out links of reserved speed which he is known to possess. Dan Wilson will send them off, which Is full guaranty that few, if any, will get the best of the pistol.’’ The triends of Joe Murphy, after watching Adams at work at Union grounds, are fully convinced that our home champion has a very dificult task on hand. But this is not news to Joe. He is well aware of the prowess of ‘‘Jack McMasters’ man, and if defeated will force Adams to the front rank of amateur sprinters. Joe's condition is satisfactory to himself and friends—in fact, his condition couid not be improved, and in his practice he has developed the speed of a ghost. If Joe is defeated it will be in time which will be well nigh as credita- ble to the vanquished as to the victor. W. O. Adams, the representative of the Manhattan Atnletic Club, New York, who comes West to lower the colors of Joe Mur- phy, has created avery favorable impression among the athletic habitues of Union Park. All agree with Jack McMasters that Adams is a good one, while 8 think he is a phe- nomenal sprinter. In his practice be shows wonderful bursts of speed, which, if main- tained from scratch to string, would land him winner against any one, amateur or pro- fessional. Mr. Adams says his condition is perfectly satisfactory, and while he in no sense underrates Murphy’s oe 17 he feels very confident of the result. He is an intelligent, peepee wf young fellow, and will make a ost of friends during his stay in the city. Tbe bicycle event has, as usual, stirred up the rivalry between the riders, which always responds to events of this character. Tue cyclists have been doing a great deal of hard preparatory work. The race, especially the tinal heat, promises to be very interesting. The 100 yard run will be second in interest only to the event of the day—the 220 race. Adams and Murphy are both entered inthe same heat, the third, and no doubt both will start, in which event a great and fast race will be run. They are both very swift at the dis- tance, The winner of the heat, however, will have work on his hands in the final for there are some very fast youngsters in the other heats, one of whom, H not two, will appear in the final heat, and being conceded a good start will worry the scratch man, be he Adams or Murphy. Besides the youngsters, it should not be forgotten that Billy Fletcher will be on hand todo battle for the honors. Billy was considerably chagrined at his showing at the spring meeting and will appear to-morrow in much better condition. He will make somebody runa clipping race to reach the string ahead of him The lawn-tennis mateh willbe an innova- tion, though a pleasing one. It will attract many persons to Union Park to-morrow. The three-legged race will furnish sport for the ‘‘kids,’’ of whom there will be a large number present, us usual. The hurdle race and the _ three-lap steeplechase, with the ole vaulting, will complete one of the finest pro. grammes ever iven by the Missouri Amateur Athletic Club. Every event on the list is an interesting one and will furnish amusement or excitement for the audience. — — a tee Bicycle Budget. Following so soon after the De Soto race the bicycle contest at Union Park to-morrow after- noon in connection with the M. A. A. C. sum- mer games, has aroused more than the usual interest. The race will be a one-mile scratch, to be run in heats, and the entries and the places in the heats are as foliows: First heat, A. A. Hart, E. C. Klipstein, J. M. Hodgen and George E. 5 second heat, F. Meblig, E. N. Sanders, C. L. Mo- Donald and J. 8. Shields. The first two in each will compete in the final. The placing of the contestauts has been very poorly done. In- stead of putting Klipstein where he wouid stand a good chance of getting in the final, he has been put where he will fly to get even sec- ond, as Hoden is going fast and Hart is an old-time winner.

Thrilling Experience of the Ship Anna’s Crew With a Maniac Captain. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dtsr Kren. PHILADELPHIA, July 29.—The crew of the ship Anna from Bremerhaven, which arrived yesterday afternoon, report an exciting ex- perience with the captain, who became a maniac onthe voyage. They state that the captain, after being out a few days, was taken Ul and began to talk to himself con- tinuously and contended that some of the crew had fallen overboard. One evening he called the cabin boy to him and as the lad ap- proached he fired a shot from a revolver at him. One of the mates, hearing the report of the pistol, ran to the captain’s cabin, and he was confronted with the revolver. He re- treated precipitately. A dense volume of smoke was soon seen rolling out of the cap- tain’s bedroom, the insane man having set fire to the ship. Aftera hard night's work with the flames they were extinguished. A search was made for the captain. but he could not befound. Bloody finger marks on the railing of the vessel, however, showed that in his frenzy he had jumped overboard.
