Attorney Fauntleroy Presents His Case to Chief-Justice Miller and Secures an Order Suspending the Execution of the Death Sentence—The Effect of the Chief- Justice’s Action. Até4 o’clock this afternoon the following telegram was received announcing the fact that a writ of error had been granted in the Maxwell case. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. BTock ISLAND, R. I., August 4.—Mr. P. W. Fauntleroy, attorney for Hugh Mottram Brooks, or Maxwell, presented the luw point in the case this morning to Chief-Justice Miller of the United States Supreme Court, who is stopping here at the Ocean View Hotel, and obtained from him a writ of error in the case. The effect of this order will be to bring the case of the little chloroformer before the United States Supreme Court for a hearing on the constitutional points raised by the defense. As it cannot be heard within the time specified in the sentence the issuance of the writ will act as a super- sedeas and postpone the execution of the sentence. Maxwell was sentenced to be hanged on the 26th inst. Messrs. Martin & Fauntleroy presented the case to Justice Miller, who is reputed to be opposed to capital punishment and extremely technical in his constraction of the law in cases involving this punishment. BELLEVILLE, Work of the Lightning—A Girl Killed—Other News. The storm here last evening was very severe and was accompanied by the most terrible flashes of lightning. The streaks seemed to descend right down into the earth. The resi- dents were thoroughly alarmed, and they cer- tainly had good grounds for fear, as the streaks did strike in the vicinity and brought death with them. Julia Wamser, a 7-year-old daughter of Mr. Henry Wamser, a blacksmith in the West End, was instantly killed bya flash. Sbe and her brother Henry were standing in the door of their home —— the storm, when they observed some pears faliing from the trees in their yard. The ran out into the yard and were engage in picking up the fallen fruit when a most | vive flash Uluminated the sky for an in- stant, and both children were stricken down. The boy’s cries brought out his mother, and she carried him and the girl into the house. The girl was a corpse, Terrible and the boy was unconscious. The top of his head and his right shoulder and right side were badly scorched. To-day he was somewhat improved but his recovery is considered very doubtful. The ground where the lightning struck was torn up. Mr. Geo. Wild, a carpenter, while walking along Seventh South street during the storm, was mo- mentarily paralyzed by a flash of lightning. He was Carried home and it is not believed will suffer any serious effects from the stroke. The crops in this section, especially corn, were badly damaged by the stor. Mr. Jacob Weigel has filed an application in the Circuit Court for divorce from his wife, Maria, on the ground of infidelity. The funeral of Mr. Jacob Neidinger took place this moruing from the residence of his son, Queto, on First North street, and was K my ! attended. The National Base Ball Club will go to St. Louis Sunday to play the Advance Club at Amateur Park. THE SARATOGA RACES. Threatening Weather Affects the Atten- dance—Winners of Io- Days Events. SARATOGA, August 4.—The threatening ap- pearance of the weather this morning had a marked effect on the number of spectators at the Saratoga track to-day. The sky was heavily overcast with clouds and the prevail- ing breeze was from the southwest. The track was slow. First race—Three-quarters of mile. Pearl Jennings won, with Gleanor second and Cli- maxthird. Time 1:16%. Second race.—The Clarendon Hotel stakes, for 3-year-olds ; one mile and three-sixteenths.

Glenspray was four lengths away. Hisses from the rand stand showed the disapproval of the audience of the result. Third race, the Saratoga Stakes, for 2-year- olds, three-quarters of a mile.—Emperor of Norfolk won, with King Fish second and Satan third. King Fish led fora furlong from the start, after which Satan went forward.

George Quigley had a preliminary hearing before Judge Noonan to-day and held for the Grand-jury in $1,000 bond to answer to a charge of burglary and larceny.

BERLIN, August 4.—The meeting between the Emperors Francis Joseph and William is now definitely settled to take place on the 6th inst., when the Austrian monarch will arrive at Gastein. Kaiser Wilhelm is progressing with his water cure to the satisfaction of his phy- sicians, Ho is daily gaining in strength and activity and enjoying to the fullest extent the quiet of his Gastein circle. On Wednesday he was present at a private dramatic perfor- mance, Which had been organized by the Countesses of Lehndorff and Gruene. The aged monarch received on Tuesday an auto- graph letter from his great-grandson, aged 5. It was six lines long und contained no less than nine requests, ranging from tin soldiers and a hobby-horse up to a tall helmet, such as is worn by the Pomeranian Grenadiers. —— —— BLAINE IN SCOTLAND. The Maine Statesman in Good Health En- joying Coaching Trips. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 4.—Very little has been heard from Mr. Blaine since his departure from London for Scotland. He has been on several coaching trips with Mr. Andrew Car- negie and so has been out ofthe reach of reporters. Several of the reports sent out from Edinburgh have announced first that Blaine was breaking down in health, and sec- ondly, that he was contemplat ng an early re- turn to the United States to head off Senator Sherman on account of the latter's § suc- cess in Ohio. The representative of the PostT-DIspatcu found Mr. Blaine Wednesday at Kilgarston at the bridge of Earn, just as he was starting off with Mr. Carnegie for another coaching trip. Mr. Blaine was in splendid health and spirits. He was asked about the truth of the report concerning his cutting short his visit. Hesaid: It is a stupid lie. I came here to remain until next year and have not changed my plans. He added that he came to Europe for recrea- tion and rest. He wanted to be outof the range of all possible misrepresentation of a political character. But the people who were opposed to him evidently could not believe that even in the wilds of Scotland he was not studying every phase of the American politi- situation. The report that he was con- Platin an “arly return to the United States for politieal reasons was a lie, as silly as it was absurd. KILGARSTON CASTLE, the place where Mr. Biaine is staying, is a no- ble stone structure belonging to the family of Grants, of which the famous Gen. Sir J. Hope Grant was a member. It is very large, with a park of more than 100 acres and the right of shooting and fishing over some 2,500 more. Mr. Carnegie has rented itfora year. It has every appliance of luxury for his guests, with horses and drags in great numbers. The four-in-hand employed by Mr. Carnegie in his trips would challenge in all of its appoint- ments the most perfect of the Hyde Park turn- outs. The Blaine party has traveledon this drag over 700 miles. During the last three weeks of his visit Mr. Blaine has spent the whole of his time out of doors. Since going to Scotiand his long rides instead of fatiguing him have improved his condition wonderfully. When the Post-DISPATCH correspondent saw him, he was just starting out for another three days’ coaching trip, to which he was looking forward with keen zest as if he were starting on a pleasant trip. They are going through finest scenery in Scotland. Notwithstanding his continued pursuit of this out-of-door life in all weathers, except on Sundays, Mr. Blaine is pursu@§ from day to day by tele- graphic inquiries concerning his health, occasioned by the cable reports sent out from Edinburgh by an American correspondent, who has not been anywhere near Mr. Blaine, and who has notseen him since the latter left Edinburgh. SENATOR AND MRS. HALE. Senator and Mrs. Hale, who were Mr. Carnegie’s guests for a week, have gone. Col. and Mrs. John Hay and Mr. Courtland Palmer and family of New York, with a large number of Scoth gentry, have participated in Mr. Car- negie’s coaching party. Blaine came to visit Carnegie upon an engagement made before sailing from the United States. He is enjoy- ing his visit here hugely, and as yet has no definite plansfor future travel after leaving Scotiand. England. NAVAL MANEUVERS. Lonpon, August 4.—Naval maneuvers took place to-day off the mouth of the River Thames. The attacking squadron operated in the Downs, and together with a force of marines and blue jackets, who were landed from the vessels, captured the entrances to the Thames and to the River Med wav. During the maneuvers a Nordenfeldt gun burst on board the torpedo boat Curlew and several seamen were seri- ously injured. One ot the guns on board the iron armor-plated ship Black Prince also burst and injured three seamen. Ireland. WATCHING THE IRISH MEMBERS. DuBsLiIn, August 4.—United Ireland publishes a copy of acircular which it asserts has been issued tothe police directing that a watch be kept upon the movements of the members of the House of Commons belonging to the Na- tional League. rate TRICKED BY VANDERBILT. A Balloon Experiment—Cowardly Officials Suspended by King Humbert. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Paris, August 4.—The Gil Blas explains the reason why Mr. Vanderbilt’s Alva was the only yacht which figured at the naval review off Spithead, in the line with foreign war ves- sels, in the following manner: It asserts that Vanderbilt represented to the British Admi- ralty that in case of War the American Govern- ment had a right to seize all private vesseis of the Alva s size for warlike purposes. The day, notified of the seizure of two American the pass of Killatanny, taking in some of the | that there should be no obligation without a corresponding privilege, placedthe Alva in its enviable position, much to the displeasure of other foreign yachtsmen. In afew days the balloon Horla, named after M. Guy de Maupassant’s latest novel, with Messrs. Jovis and Millet in charge, will make an ascent from Paris with the purpose of attaining a height of 8,000 meters, a feat hitherto never accomplished. King Humbert has suspended the Mayor of Catannia andthe professors of the univer- sity in that place for having deserted their posts since the outbreak of cholera. A death occurred in Naples some ten days ago from Asiatic cholera, but the fact was withheld from the press until yesterday. A royal com- mission is now visiting the afflicted districts. — ~<—_ BOULANGER AND FERRY. M. de Cassagnac Declares the General’s Terms Murderous, Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, August 4.—The papers are full of the Boulanger-Ferry fiasco. Yesterday several well-known arbiters in affairs of honor and veteran duelists were interviewed. Some of the items are given below. Paul de Cassagnac Says that the seconds on both sides have shown great inexperience in their conduct. He thinks that the terms demanded by Gen. Boulanger were murderous, and by no means justified by the nature of the affront, and the seconds of Ferry were right in re- fusing to accept them. In conclusion, M. de Cassagnac says that the matter cannot be al- lowed to stand as it is, and that new seconds must be chosen and the terms of the meeting, which he pronounced unavoidable, be deter mined on by a committee of expert duelists. Aurelian Scholl says that the seconds of Gen. Boulanger were quite within their rights in demanding the choice of weapons and hour and place of meeting, in which M. Ferry re- fused to acquiesce, though these privileges are guaranteed to the offended and challeng- ing party by the code. Rome. M. DEPRETIS’ FUNERAL. ROME, August 4.—The funeral of the late Prime Minister Depretis took place to-day at Stradella. Twenty thousand persons were present. King Humbert and others sent wreaths to be placed on the coftin of the dead statesman. There was no religious ceremony, the clergy having been ordered to refuse the rites of the church, owing to the factthat M. Depretis died without having received the last sacraments. a. —_— THE CANADIAN LIBERAL LEADER, Mr. Wilfred Laurier, Blake’s Successor Defines His Position—The Fisheries. OTTAWA, ONTARIO, August 4.—The retirement of Mr. Blake from the leadership of the Liberal party in the Dominion Parliament resulted in the election of Wilfred Laurier as his successor. \Yesterday Mr. Laurier was called upon ata political gathering, held at Somerset, to clearly define the policy he intended to pursue as leader of the party. In addressing the audience of from five to seven thousand people, who had assembled to hear him, he said that it had always deen the desire of him- self and the Liberal party to secure a renewal of reciprocity with the United States. Sir John Macdonald's Government, he continued, had always thrown every possible obstruction in the way, which had tended to prevent any negotiations which might result satisfactorily. In fact, he said, they (referring to the party of which Sir John is leader) have lost no opportunity of throwing dirt into the face of the United States and the authorities at Washington, which in effect has precluded every possibility of any satisfactory result being arrived at. The Liberal party, while strongly in favor ofa reciprocity treaty with the United States, are opposed to the scheme of commercial union until more definite infor- mation has been gathered as to the probable result of such a radical change in the fiscal policy of the two countries. It is clearly evident that the promising young leader of the Liberal party does not, for the present at least, favor the commercial union scheme. AMERICAN SLOOPS SEIZED. The Department of Fisheries was, on Tues- sloops, named Fanny and the James A. Gar- field. They were caught in the Quoddy River, New Brunswick, bound for Eastport, Me., with cargoes of herring, and had neither entered nor cleared atany Canadian custom- house. Pending the receipt of further par- ticulars the department gave instructions to release the vessels on the deposit of a small fine. INACCURATE STATEMENTS. In referring to the fisheries question, yester- day morning, the Deputy Minister of Fisher- ies expressed his regret that the statements frequently communicated to the American press with reference to the recent seizure or detention of Ameriean fishing vessels were not of a more accurate character. It is made to appear from the statements published in the American papers that the crews of the escaped vessels, Col. J. H. French and Ar- gonaut, brought to Souris by the Canadian cruiser Critic, were not well treated and also that transport to their homes in other fishing vessels had been denied them. These statements, the deputy says, are incor- rect. In regard to the first thp Collector of Customs at Souris was instructed by the Fish- eries Department immediately upon being ad- vised of the seizure of the boats and seines and the detention of the crews to see that the men were properly taken care of and supplied with food and other necessaries. With regard to the second charge, the dep- uty said that the Collector was in- structed that the men should be allowed to goon any homeward-bound vessel it the American Consular Agent at Souris would give an assurance that the men would not be put on board of the escaped vessels. It wouid appear that prior tothe receipt of these in- structions the men had been sent home by the steamer from Charlottetown. He further stated that the department has information that there are at the present time over 200 American fishing vessels in the vicinity of Northbay, Prince Edward Island, very few of which have secured good fares. Some have abandoned their fishing voyage and gone home. 8 A HOPEFUL VIEW. ToroNTO, Ontario, August 4.—A cable dis- pateb from London to the Globe says; Fresh proposals for a settlement of the fisheries dis. pute have recently been submitted to the Government authorities at Washington. They were approved at Ottawa and have been fa- vorably received by the Imperial Government, but are still under consideration. The details of the proposals are not known, but it is un derstood that a more bopeful view of the pos- siDility of a speedy settlement is now taken at White House * the W LN AMERICAN FISHER CAUGHT. — captain ot the steam cruiser Intrepid seized the fishing boat Gold Dust, belonging to Mr. Blanchard, a sardine packer at Eastport, Me., while taking in fish at Fair Haven, Deer Island. This boat has been running all the season without once having complied with the law by entering or clearing at the Custom houses. She was towed to St. Andrews and orders are awaited from Ottawa. The Dominion. TROUBLE WITH BRITISH COLUMBIA. OTTAWA, Ontario, August 4.—Word received here last evening shows that the Dominion Government, in addition to the Manitoba dis- allowance question, has trouble to contend with in British Columbia, several difficulties having arisen with regard to the own- ership of land, timber and mineral, which may possibly result in an insurrection among the inhabitants. Both governments claim railway belt. The question will entail a long and expensive lawsuit, closing with an appeal to the Privy Council, and a final decision half adozen years hence. Gen. Middleton leaves next week for British Columbia to inspect the condition of the militia and fortifications in the event of any trouble. DEATH OF CONSUL FRANCIS. Sr. THOMAS, Ontario, August 4.—Hon. Allen Francis, United States Consul, who was struck by a hose-cart at the recent railway disaster here and badly injured, died suddenly at 12:30 o’clock this morning. He had been confined to his room ever since the accident, but his condition was not thought tobe critical. At 11:30 o’ clock last night, while sitting up talk- ing cheerfully, he was seized with paraiysis of the heart, brought on by the shock sustained in the accident, and died shortly after. Mr. Francis was 73 years of age, and was for over twenty years Consul for the United States at Victoria, British Columbia, and for the past three years had been United States Consul to St. Thomas and Port Stanley. He has a daughter living on Staten Island. His family reside at Victoria, British Columbia, and none of his relatives were at his bedside when he died. Flags are floating at half-mast on all public buildings. The funeral will take place to-morrow here. FINANCIALLY EMBARRASSED. LONDON, Ontario, August 4.—The Ontario Investment Association is financially embar- rassed. A special general meeting of the stockholders was held to-day and a partial statement of the assets and Habilities sub- mitted. From general information gleaned, it is learned that over $400,000 of the paid-up capital stock has been lost tothe Association through faulty management and losses which could not be avoided. Charles Murray, the proceedings will be entered against the di- rectors shortly to compel them to make an accounting of money piaced in their keeping. Many widows whose funds are invested in this association will suffer severely from the depreciation of the stock consequent upon the losses sustained. : SAVED HER LOVER. TORONTO, August 4.—George Fink, who eloped from Detroit with Mrs. Newman, was brought before Judge Morgan to- day, on the charge of bring- ing stolen goods Newman took the staud and swore thatthe property was herown, and that she brought it with her to this country. The judge there- upon discharged Fink. Mexico. THE NEW TARIFF. CITY OF MEXICO, via Galveston, August 4.— The treasury officials are greatly pleased with the outlook for the suecess of the new tariff put in force July 1. The tariff has now been in operation a month, and the results are justifying the expectations of its originators. At Vera Cruz, goods are piling up in the storehouses in such quantities as to tax the capacity of freight trains, and the merchants ot that port are begining to believe that its prosperity is assured. Heavy consign- ments of American and European goods are beginning to come into this city and the Cen- tral Railroad cannot find box cars enough to carry its freights, which is due not only to the increase of international business, but also to the remarkable development of interior freight traffic. Passenger traffic continues good on all lines. The construction of the main line of the National Railway is being act- ively pusbed, but on the southern division some trouble has been had with washouts. Treas- ury officials predict that the Vera Cruz Custom- house will show a large increase in receipts this fiscal year, and some predict an increase from the Paso del Norte Custom-house. The increase in the Government revenues makes iteasy to meet the interest on the foreign debt. and financially the country was never in a better condition. Finance-Minister Dub- lan reports a cash balance from the depart- ment budget for the last fiscal year most un- precedented in this country. AN INDIGNANT PRIEST.

BOODLER M’GARIGLE’S LATEST INTERVIEW WITH A CHICAGO REPORTER. The Fugitive Chats Freely About His Case and Declares He Does Not Want to Die in Prison—The Chicago Authorities to Prosecute Him at Mostreal—Proofs of st. John’s Complicity—The Schooner Blake on Exhibition —Trial of the Boodlers. OnicaGo, III., August 4.—The correspondent ot a paper here telegraphs from St. Catherines, Ontario, what purports to be an extensive inter- view with McGarigle. The correspondent de- scribes the fugitive as looking very poorly. Atter some preliminary talk, in which he com- plained of misrepresentations by ambitious newspaper correspondents, MoGarigie said: „Now, I’m going to make you a short statement, and you will please let me take some of your paper. J will write down what say and you can copy it. In this way I will bave & copy and if it is changed I shall be able to show that you have misrepresented me. He then dictated a letter in which he reiter- ated his former statements that it was impos- sible for him to live in jail. He denies having offered to testify in behalf of the State and says there was nothing wrong with the hospi- tal management. He knows nothing that would connect M. C. McDonald with any sor of crime. He is anxious to make a settlewent of his affairs so as to go back to Chicago, but he cannot consent to die in the jail or peni- tentiary. HIS EXPERIENCE. On the train McGarigle gave an account of his experiences since he left Satnia. After driving to Wyoming and taking the train for London, as has been reported, he went to Hamilton and from there to Niagara Fallse— the Canada side, of course. From there he took the Canada Southern to Dunnville, changing tothe Grand Trunk at Port Col- borne. He was not, he says, in St. Catharines at all Tuesday, but passed through there on his way to the Falls. McGarigle when told about the Baxter case against him said he was not worried about that. He would get the officials of the Prov- ince of Ontario to give Montreal notice that she will have to prove the alleged perjury or defamation of character before be would go there. He is notafraid thatany charge of forgery can be trumped up against him. WELL HEELED. MeGarigle is very anxious for the arrival of the Blake, as he has valuable baggage on that vessel. His pockets are filled with money, and be evidently has interests ofa money charac- ter in the arrival of the Blake. McGarigle, it may be flatly stated, isin the care and keep- ing of Frederick St. John, brother of the doc- tor. This is not to say that he is at the St. John ‘mansion, which is the finest in St. Catharines, nor can the writer, with- out breaking faith with McGarigle, say what residence he has chosen. One of the most marvelous features of the case is the wonder- fulrisk which Dr. St. John has taken to aid MeGarigle to escape. When asked what he thought of Dr. St. John’s chances of going to the penitentiary, McGarigle broke down like achild. He would not even speak. Unless the detectives get too close to Mc- Garigie he will remain here for the present and rest, and, if possible, open negotiations with State’s-Attorney Grinnell for his return. For this heis very anxious. He says he does not want to bring bis wife and children away from Chicago. but that he cannot live without them very long. He is very much op- posed to talking about the Cook County thieves. He appears to be in good health, but his nerves have been worked to a high tension and he says he must have rest or he cannot survive him long. One of the strangest things about him is that he has shaved his face, leaving the mustache and sideburns, but cutting off the goatee, so as to correspond exactly with the photographs pasted upon Sheriff Matson’s $2,500 reward circular. This evening he read it over care- fully and then laughingly said: It's not ex- actly complimentary. The description is good, except the ‘cat-like’ movement and the insin- uating manner, but 1 shean’t complain. THE DEAD WOOD ON MAC. Sheriff Matson and Inspector Bonfield re- ceived some pleasing intelligence by dis- patches from Canada last evening. They re- fused to allow them to be seen, but their pur- port was that it was definitely settled that Mc- Garigie will be prosecuted at Mon- treal, and that it was certain that his arrest by the Canadian authorities was a question of avery short time; that the section of the country in which he was hiding yesterday was closely patrolled, and he would not get outof it as easy as he passed through the Straits of Mackinac. Both officials went home with the most comfortable feeling they had experienced since the escape. PROOFS AGAINST ST. JOHN. Evidence of St. John’s connection with the 1 of McGarrigle is given this morning in the News, which gives the substance of two conversations had with the doctor by Capt. Irwin, of the schooner Blake, over the tele- phone. In these talks reference was made to the preparations forthe speedy departure of the schooner, and the necessity of having the inysterious passenger ‘‘Williams’’ ready ata certain place and time. The News claims that this setties Dr. St. John’s connection with the conspiracy. Give Him Up. TORONTO, Ontario, August 4.—In a long edi- torial this morning the Globe says: ‘‘There ought to be no ceremony about surrendering convicted ‘boodlers’ of the MeGarigle stripe. It is true Canada is not legally bound to sur- render him, but what do we want of him? A New York paper points out that under similar circumstances Spain surrendered Tweed. Why not Canada give up McUarigle?’’ The Schooner Blake. PORT COLBOURNE, Ontario,August 4.—The schooner Edward Blake, on which MoGarigie escaped from Chicago, is coming to the Wel- land Canal. All of Port Colbourne is down about the shore eager to see what is to be seen. The Blake and the crew are the dime museum of the hour. The schooner’s commander, Capt. Irwin, claims that he does not know MocGarigie. He gays that he supposed that he was Williams, a friend of the man who introduced him to him . It 1 had known he was a con- vict,*’ says Irwin’ would not have carried him away. The man who introduced him to me gave me to understand that the 2288988 23 1 man and he wanted him to take 0 .

The rain last nigut brought but temporary relief and the night was hot and close. Although this morning the Signai Service thermometer was 78. 4 degrees lower than yesterday, the heat was more oppressive, oe che rain seemed to have carried o 4 wind, as well as some of the heat, and le the air calm. The sun had a good un- clouded chance all forenoon to got ie its old work on the mercury, and by 11:30 ha made the atmosphere very close.

J. O. Meagher Condon of the Irish World says the man had no connec- tion with that paper, and he believes that the society Mooney claimed to represent is a myth. Mooney’s trunk has been seized and ll be searched to-day. Mooney’s effects were found in a zinc-cov- ered-oak-boundtrunk, and two valises, all carefully packed as thongh the man had made preparations for a hasty departure. In the trunk were found two pieces of gas pipe, packages of powder, sulphur, phosphorus, crystals of chloride of potassium, several glass tubes and some lasting caps for Atlas powder, besides clothes and note books. There were a picture of Dr. McGlynn anda few personal ietters. Several yardsof fuse anda box of draftman’s instruments com- leted the list. The pipes were of very heavy, ss, of unequal lengths, and at about one- third of the distance from one endof each was a cock which the police did not attempt to turn to-day. he shank of the cock was made of a soft metal that could be eaten away by acid placed in the smaller end chamber and thus explode the contents of the larger.

But it was too obvious thata convention was necess on account of the momentous questions involved. He said the 22 before the 2 of Virginia was the division of opinion on debt 8 which was the greatest p uestion that presented itself. He the difference of opinion could be better de- termined in the party and counselled harmony and dispassionate discussion of all issues in- volved. He said the delegates present were fresh from the people and no doubt reflected the sentiments of the people, Far better would it be that any differences of opinion be discov- ered now, rather than after the election. He, for one, as Chairman of the Democratic State Committee, was not willing to take the responsibility, under the circumstances, of conducting a campaign of so much impor- tance without a convention. He eulogized President Cleveland, and said he was the best President we had had for a quarter of a cent- ury. His speech was loudly cheered, and after quiet ad been restored he nominated Samuel H. Moffitt of Rockingham for temporary chairman.

Claflin Allem Approves of the Resolutions Federal Officials Treat the Subject Gently—Barnum Declines to Be Critical— Reformers and Others on the Subject. Yesterday at Newport, R. I., the National Civil-Service Retorm Association, while ao- knowledging the many excellent appoint- ments made by the present National Adminis- tration and the frequent evidences of execu- tive disregard of merely partisan demands, gaid that it learned with regret that the change in the civil service was so great as to forecast its complete partisan reconstruction by the close of the Administration. The league did not believe such change justified by the public desire or expectation, and re- garded the action of the Administration as tending to confirm the system of abuses which the league seeksto reform. That was the meat of one resolution. Another called attention to the President's circular to certain officers of the Government, warn- ing them against offensive partisgnship, manipulation of party meetings, nominating conventions and all dictation of party action. It also called attention to the action of office- holders in Baltimore tn defiance of the circu- lar. The league resolved the application of civil service rules should be extended; that the people of e United States are entitled to know the reasons for the appointment or rejection of all officers in their service; that the Senate shold consider nomi- nations in open session; thet the acts which limit the tenure of inferi offices to four ears should be repealed asa baneful source of intrigue and corruption, etc. This morn- ing a reporter of the Post-DMPATCH obtained rice reformers day the following s Bankrupt oe as Calicoes, halt agths Crinkled Seer. half price.

As they invested $1,500 apiece and have made than $50,000,000 apiece out of the Central Pa- cific, itis evident that ‘‘some money“ is an expression which in their mouths means quite a pile of luore. a ON A COLD TRAIL. If Mayor Kumpr of Kansas City were an intensely partisan Republican rather than avery moderate and independent one, he would not complain to President OLEVELAND of Postmaster SHELLEY’S offensively partisan course, or per- nicious activity” in politics. It has given Kansas City a Republican Mayor and the Kansas City district a Republican Con- gressman. It was publicly announced that Senator Vust would give Kansas City as Post- master an able organizer and a fighter,“ a regular Bismarck of a Democratic boss who would crush out faction in the party, make deserters tremble and shoot all traitors on the spot. That is what SHELLEY was appointed for. There was no secret about it, and his appointment was ac- cepted as a declaration that the Presi- dent’s letters, orders and professions in regard to civil service reform were no more intended to apply to the Kansas City Post-office than to the St. Louis Custom-house. Accordingly the Pest- office has been more conspicuous, and more couspicuously dictatorialin Kansas City politics than ever before. But, as the result has been an unbroken record of Democratic division and disas- ter, it should be some defeated Democrat and not atriumphantly elected Republi- din, like Mayor Kumpr or Congressman WaRNER, who calls on the President to put a stop to Postmaster SHELLEY’s ‘‘perni- cious activity.“ The President refused at the request of a Democratic Congressman to remove St. Louis Custom-house officials who were ap- pointed to boss Democratic nominations in this city, and who have, with the ap- proval of Senator VEsT, openly tried to elect a Republican nominee for Congress over the Democratio nominee whose nom- ination they had been unable to prevent. It ig, therefore, not to be expected that Mr. CLEVELAND will heed the request of a Republican Mayor for the relief of Kansas City Democrats from the pernicious activ- ity of their Post-office boss. _— , ——_—<,, SenaTOR STanFoOrD testifies that the $55,600 per mile, which ts the alleged cost of the Central Pacifico from San Francisco to Ogden, was 50 per cent less than the estimates of competent engineers. This simply proves that the competent engin- eers were required to make and did make grossly exaggerated estimates. One of the former engineers of the Union Pacific has testified that he resigned because he was required to sign and certify such es- timates. The contracts for the build- ing of those roads were shameless swindles by which the road’s money was embezzled by the company’s managers who let the contracts to other companies which were but aliases for the managers themselves. And yet they now have the impudence to claim that the United States should now give the Central Pacific $7,000 more per mile because the Government subsidy was that much less than the amount they got for construc- tion! Senator StanrorD should go into a dime museum and exhibit his cheek as one of nature’s most startling freaks. _— 1 * METROPOLITAN PRESS. ~~, What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning.

Almost a Tragic Sequel to a Sensational Damage Suit—The Would-Be Murderess Deliberately Plans ‘the Deed — Poor Marksmanship Saves the Intended Vic- tim—Mrs. Harvey Arrested—Her Version at the Trouble—Col. Deming’s Statement. By Telegraph t6 the Post-DisPAton. New York, August 4.—Ella Harvey, a beau- tiful young woman with blue eyes and an abundance of light brown hair, attempted to assassinate Col. L. L. Deming at his boarding- house, No.9 West Twenty-first street, about 5:80 o’clock last evening. Col. Deming, who isin a confidential position in the Gorham Manufacturing Company, 889 Broadway, met Mrs. Harvey yesterday afternoon about 2 o’clock. They hada few moments conversa- tion, and Mrs. Harvey asked Deming to ac- company her to her home, 313 East Nineteenth street. He refused, and said that he had business engagements which prevented him. She hinted to him that it would be well for bim it he went with her, but he laughed at the implied threat and went to the store. What Mrs. Harvey's intentions were in trying to get Deming to go to her home is not known, but it is believed that she intended there to carry out the design which she at- tempted at his home. Mrs. Harvey, after Deming had gone away, walked in Broad- way for about an hour and then went to Dem- ing’s boarding-house. Mrs. Suydall and all her family were out when Mrs. Harvey called, and a servant answered her ring at the dell. She told the servant that she was well acquainted with Mrs. Suydall and had called to engage a room and asked the servant to show her through the house. The servant did so and Mrs. Harvey constantly plied her with questions as to who occupied the rooms. When the third floor was reached and the servant pointed to the large hall bed-room and said that Ool. Deming occupied it, Mrs. Harvey started suddenly and wanted to know who occupied the adjoining room. Being told that it was without a tenant she said quickly that she would take it. LYING IN WAIT. Mrs. Harvey told the servant that she would rest in the room until Mrs. Suydall came home, and took off ber hat and lay down on the bed, when the servant went away. Col. Deming came home about 5 o'clock, as has been his custom during the three weeks in which he has lived at Mrs. Suydall's house, and went to hisroom. The door to the adjoining room was closed. He closed the door to his room and changed his clothes, and read a paper for afew moments. About 5:30 o’clock he opened his door and started down stairs. He had taken only two or three steps in the hall when a woman’s figure appeared in the doorway of the adjoining room, and a second later there was a bright flash in the dimly lighted hall and Deming felt, as the woman fired the pistol, a, sharp twinge in his left breast, just over his heart. He thought that he had been shot and started toward the woman, who retreated into the room, and he saw thatshe was Mrs. Harvey. Mrs. Harvey threw the pistol, a small 22-calibre, across the room and said camly: Are you shot?“ es, replied Deming, ‘‘I am.’’ He thought that the wound was a serious one at first, but after waiting for a moment and finding that the ball had only grazed his body he caimly told Harvey that as she had thrown away the pistol it was evident that she did not intend to shoot at him again, and he would go around the corner and get a cup of coffee. Hetold the woman that she had made a fool of herself and she had better put on her hat and get out of the house as soon as possible. With that he left her and went to supper. Mrs. Harvey waited in the house spose half an hour after the shooting and en HURRIEDLY WENT INTO THES STREET, telling the servant that there had been a little trouble up-stairs and that she had decided not to walt for Mrs. Suydall's return. Mrs. Har- vey waited a few minutes in frontof the house, as it undecided which way to go, and then went to Twenty-third street and Sixth avenue and took the Sixth Avenue elevated train to Forty-second. She got off there and walked around Bryant Park several times, and then went across the street to the north side of Forty-second street and stood near the corner of Fifth avenue, as if waiting for some one. Officer Holmes of the Twenty-third Precinct turned into Forty-second street from Fiith avenue and was startled by Mrs. Harvey rush- ing wildly up to him with a pistol in her hand and saying: ‘‘Thave just killed a man at No. 9 West Twenty-first street. Here is the pistol.’’ The officér took her to the Thirty-ütth Street Station and went to No.9 West Twenty-first street, and found thatthe woman ha@ been there and had shot at Deming, but had not hurt him, as she had stated. Mrs. Harvey was then transferred to the Thirtieth Street Station and Detective Price took her to Mrs. Suydall’s house. Deming was at home and he identified Mrs. Harvey as the person who had — ey to shoot him, but declined to pros- ecute her,as he said he had no desire to appear against her. He was told, that Mrs. Hurvey would be arrested on the charge of assault upon her own confession, but he still insisted that he had no intention to make complaint against her. Mrs. Harvey was taken back to the police station, and when she saw the prison bars she exclaimed as she entered: ny did I doit! Iam sorry now. Restoratives were given to Rer and she was locked up. She told the sergeant who was on duty that she was22 years oid, married, and Was a nurse. She said that DEMING HAD WRONGED HER and that she had shot him because of what he had done. She refused to go into the particu- ‘lars of her injury, and expressed a desire that nothing be said about the case to the PostT- DISPATCH correspondcnt. Deming was seen last night by the reporter. He was in bed, and at first refused to say any- thing about the case. Finally he said that he had known Mrs. Harvey for several years. He had trouble with her which began ‘about two years ago. What the nature of the trouble was he refused to state, but said it was not any that reflected upon his honor, He had a considerable military record, and had never wronged a woman. He said that there was good cause for the shooting, looking at it from the woman’s point of view, bat that the trouble had been amicably settied. as he supposed. He admitted that he had been sued for $20,000 by Mrs. Harvey’s husband. Papers had been served upon him, but the case had never appeared in court. Deming ha turned the matter over to his lawyer, who h settled it. He would not state the nature ‘of the settlement. He summed up his case in what is termed a ‘‘little fiction.’’ He said: *‘Suppose a man takes a beautiful married woman to Delmonico’s,and has dinner, drinks some wine and has a good time, but does nothing wrong, and her husband should hear of hie wife beiug there with a man. Then the husband becomes enraged and brings suit against the man who was with his wife for $20, - 000." Then Deming said that his relations with Mrs. Harvey might be similar to the ‘‘lit- tle fiction,’’ and that was all there was to it.

Ever since the holders of city bonds ob- tained mandamus judgments in the United States Court, the funding of the city’s debt has been agitated, and such ascheme is now likely to be soon consummated. Tofund the debtis the only way to escape its payment in the im- mediate future, andasthe necessary amount to liquidate it could only be raised by the levy- ing of atax which would virtually amount a confiscation of all the property in the city. Mayor Stephens and City- Attorney Davis have been negotiating with the bond-holders to get them to agree to having the debt funded at a fair rate of interest. Mr. Sanderson of Springfield, one of the largest of the bondholders anda representative for all the rest has been stopping at Hurst’s Hotel, in St. Louis, for several days, and the city officials have held several conferences with him. He said that the bondholders were not at all de- sirous of forcing the immediate payment of their money, provided they could secure. the payment of a favorable rate of interest. The officials asked him to make a proposition. He said that if the city government would agree to fund the debtfor twenty years, at the rate of 5 per cent, the bondholders would agnee to accept 90 per cent on judgments and 85 per cent on unsued bonds. The officials consider their proposition a very fair one, and at the next meeting of the City Council a special elaction will probably be called to submit it to the people. KILLED BY THE CARS. Patrick Muicahey, a section hand on the Belt line, was run over by atrain last even- ing and almost instantly killed. He took refuge from the storm under some cars to which an engine was attached, and when they started to move he could not get out from under quick enough. His body was horribly mangied. Coroner Woods held an inquest this morning and returned a verdict of accidental death. The deceased was 64 123 of age and came here from Terre laute, Ind. He leaves a “widow, three daughters and two sons. A BRUTAL CRIME. Virginſus Green, a black brute in human form, was arrested last evening for assaulting Houston Haberston, a 10-year-old boy, while they were passing through the ‘‘willows.’’ He was taken before Squire Long and bound overin the sumof §1,000 to answer to the Grand-jury.

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Trades Display Association has been called at the Mercantile Club at 5 o0’clock this afternoon. President J. W. McCullagh and Chairman C. H. Sampson have just returned from the East. During their absence work has been going steadily forward and a great deal of progress has been made. The number of floats now assured is twenty-two. The total number in the parade last year was thirty-one, but in no year since the inception of the organization were there as many as twenty-two assured so early in the season. At the meeting this afternoon a resolution will -probably be adopted requesting the Fire De- partment and the militia to participate in the parade.

The Music Committee has been in corres- pondence with bands and has enough music assured to make that part of the procession successful. The Illumination Committee has received a number of propositions for lighting the pro- cession, but will not let contracts for two or three weeks to come. The procession will be lighted by red torches and by 8,000 to 10,000 Roman candles, as on last year. The Grand Army Committee has awarded the contract for building the five floats on the de- signs already described in the Post- Dispatcu. Second District Coart.

Flad and Com- missioner Holman for Extending the Service to the Chain of Recks—President George W. Allen’s Views on the Plan—A Proposition to Call a Special Session of the Municipal Assembly to Consider the Pian. While discussing the proposed free hose- sprinkling ordinance in the meeting of the Board of Public Improvements, yesterday, ‘It git goes into effect it will knock the bottom out of Water Commissioner Holman said: the Water-works.’’ According to Commis- sioner Holman the Compton Hill main cannot stand the pressure necessary to supply the demand which would be increased to an enormous extent during the hot weather by The pumps are now working against all the ‘‘head’’ they can manage. These facts, however, offer no good reasons for vetoing a bill which has been passed by the Municipal Assembly, because the Mayor is giventhe power to check the consumption in the event of a famine from any cause. The Water Commissioner thinks that another main to the reservoir is very necessary, but all these matters are recognized to the general free hose sprinkling. as only secondary considerations extension of the service at the river. Presi- dent George W. Allen of the Council has made a study of the subject. Speaking of the ex- tension, Mr. Allen said: It is a big problem, but one that we will have to take in hand pretty soon. northward above Bisse!l’s Point THE SUPPLY WILL BE BEFOULED if we continue to draw it from the river at the Point. The Assembly should take the matter up. You know there was a proposi- to have a conference between the Council and the House for the purpose of discussing the water-supply ree but for some reason or other it fell through and nothing was done.’’ Col. Henry Flad, President of the Board of Public Improvements, has devoted a great deal of attention to the subject of extending the works. The following REASONS WERE URGED by him two years ago, when it was proposed for the third time that the change from Bis- sell’s Point to the Chain of Rocks be made: It will secure for all time to come water not contaminated by sewage, as the intake will be above all influence of town drainage, shore nuisances or washings incidental to the suburbs ofacity. Atthe Chain the founda- tions for the machinery can be had on solid rock, while at Bissell’s Point is would be some twenty-two feet above the rock. Also, the round at the Chain gives a much better oundation for the masonry at the settli basins than at Bissell’s Point. An estima can be made tor construction at the Chain with much more accuracy than at Bisseli’s Point. In tbe latter case the cost of construc- tion Is more Mable to be largely increased by accidents. The estimate for the Ohain in- cludes the cost of new machinery in place of that now in use at Bissell’s Point, which (as- suming that the works atthe Chain may be put in operation in 1888-9) will have been in constant operation for seventeen or eighteen years. he Chain of Rocks construc- tion will enable a storage of f- tered water to be made in the present basins. After the consumption reaches 45,000,000 to 50,000,000 gallons per day, such storage will be absolutely required. „ in addition to the es- timate given for the extension at Bisseil’s Point, provision of this kind be added, the expense of construction would largely ex- ceed the expense of building atthe Chain of Rocks. It would be practically impossible to sewer the area of the city that drains into the river above the present location of the low- service works, sothat the storm water could be delivered into the river below the present intake. The sewage proper could thus treated, but this would require a double sys- tem of sewers, the extra cost of which would be over one million dollars and a large annual expenditure for pumping. The ground between Broadway and the river, for three and a half miles above Bissell’s Point, being very suitable for the purpose, will undoubtedly, to agreat extent, be cov- ered with factories of one kind and another; the transportation of materials used here will be largely by river, and thus, within the next twelve or fifteen 4. — there will probably be uite a number of river craft lying along the shore just above the place where the water for the supply of the city would be taken, should the extension be made at Bissell’s Point. ‘‘Owing to their location, the present basins at Biseell’s Point cannot be cleaned from about the middle of April to the middle of September, whereby their capacity is reduced fully one-fifth. At the Chain of Rocks the elevation of the ground is such that the set- tling basins can be placed high enough to be cleaned atall stages of water, and the in- creased slope to the conduits that carry the sediment back to the river will iusure the handling of the material in less time and at less expense than obtains in the present basins. *’ Already some of the difficulties which PRESIDENT FLAD outlined as in store for the city are at hand. He urged that when the consumption reached 45,000, 000 gallons per day it would be absolute- ly necessary to use the Bissell’s Foint basins for the storage of settled water. The con- sumption at present is 40,000,000 gallons, but the necessity of a settled supply is already evident to the hot and thirsty population. In the Board of Public Improvements, and „ the Water Department, the officers believe that the problem is becoming a very serious one, and during this month or next action will probably be taken to place the re- sponsibility for the delay in taking up the important problem where it belongs. Plans and estimates have already been pre- pared by the Board, but nothing has ever been done with them. A member of the House of Delegates offers a plan to settle the whole matter: Mr. ripe ge the expenditure of $5,000 to get the o — of those engineer of the American 2 Now, I —＋ 5 that.

Let Mr. Francis act on this or ignore it, or let my franchise-hawking laborers disregard it if they will. The exten- sion ot the service will require two or years, and, at the present rate, where will we be by that time?’’ eo AMUSEMENTS. | **Victor”’ a Big Success at the Ca Jack Crawford’s Entertainment. ‘*Victor’’ has been firmly establish In public favor at Uhrig’s.

He has usually turned his back and let the ball go by, and 80 apparent has been his desire to dodge the ball that the other boys in the team have uyed him about it.

CONGRESSIONAL LINES. Some Confusion Threatened by Changes in Ward Lines. Acorrespondent asks a description of the dividing line between the Eighthand Ninth Congressional districts. Recorder Williams was applied to for the information and, after ex- amining the new maps carefully, discovers that under the new arrangement of wards and precincts some trouble will be expe- rienced at the next Congressional election, and possibly it may require some legislation to straighten matters out. He describes the line as toliows: „»The dividing line between the Eighth and Ninth Congreasional District of Missouri has on ite northern side wards No. 4, 12, 20 and 28, as established by the scheme and charter in 1876, and on its southern side wards No. 2, 10, 18 and 27, established as aforesaid. It may be more clearly defined as follows: Commencing on the river bank at the foot of Carr street, thencé west on Carr street to Third street, thence south on Third street to Wash street, thence west on Wash street to Seventeenth street, thence north on Seventeenth street to Carr street, thence weat on Carr street to Jefferson avenue thence north on Jefferson avenue to Stoddard street; thence west on Stoddard street to Glas- gow avenue; thence north on Glasgow avenue to Gamble avenue; thence west on Gamble avenue to Easton avenue; thence northwest on Easton avenue to Dickson street at junction with Webster avenue; thence along the center line of Dickson street prolonged westwardly in a direct line to the western city limits as established in 1855 (600 feet west of Grand av- enue), thence southwardly with said western easy to understand why they win. They play withasnap and vim that excites one’s ad- ‘ miration atthe start, and the impression is not removed, because they keep it up until the last man is out. Theyare on the watch all — time and take every chance that offers to win. Ot course Curt Welch took care of the oen- ter garden, and I watched him closely to see wherein he excelled our Dick Johnston. He is undoubtedly a fine fielder,and is as lively as u man can well , and covers an immense amount of territory, but I could not see where his superiority over Johnston comesin. He may have it in him, but it was not observabie this afternoon. »The men who pleased the most were Rob- inson and Latham. They aretwoof the most earnest ball players I ever saw inthe field. They play ball all the time. Robinson, the little fellow who guards the second bag, is like a catin his movements, and Latham is very nearly ae quick. Beyond a doubt the Browus are a great team aud would be draw- ing cards in the League, and that’s where they belong. They are altogether too fast for the company in which they train. They would not make the showing in the ue that they do in the Association, but they would make the Leaguers hustie, and their club would, in my opinion, be the first Le ue baby that ever failed to land at the tail en its initial year. Religious Ball Players. Slattery, left felder, and Sheppard, pitcher of the Toronto Club, hada fistic encounter Saturday at a Toronto hotel. It is rumored that the row was caused principally by re- ligious discussion among the players, and that the Roman Catholics were constantly kicking against the Protestant members, which ac- counted for Gilman, the late center flelder, being released. He is a Protestant. The directors, however, deny that there has been any trouble owing to religious differences. Philadelphia Club, expresses his opinion that the Detroits will eventually win the League championship this season. He prefers that it should be won by un Eastern club, but be fears that neither Boston nor New York will be able to get there.

ThedSensational Matrimenial Troubles of Journalist Pickering of Brooklyn. to the Post-Disratcu. ane tenet. August 4.—The married lite of Wm. H. Pickering, a Brooklyn journalist, and Kate Pickering, has not run along as smoothly as their friends would desire, and after s#eV- eral domestic storms it seems likely to suffer shipwreck. The young couple were married on October 8, 1880, in the First Baptist Church, in East New York, the bride, Miss Kate Koll- . the soprano of the church choir, L At first they and a ve retty brunette. lived in “tnd same house with Mrs. okering. the mother of Mr. Picker- ing but about a yoar and * malt the arrangement was discontinued, Mrs. Pickering having told her husband that with her mother-in- law. It was not until July, 1686, chat any very serious trouble occurred. It seems that Mr. Pickering had found fault with his wife for allowing Wm. C. Anderson, a married deacon in the Firet Baptist Church, to escort her home from the cburch on Sundays, and cautioned her against being seen in his com- pany. Mrs. Pickering very emphatically de- clared that Mr. Anderson was a gentleman, and that she certainly would not raise any ob- — should he tender her his escort on re- urning home from church. The quarrel over the deacon resulted in separation, and Mrs. Pickering with her 4-year-old son returned to her mother’s, while Mr. Pickering sold his fur- niture and went back to his mother. The quar- rei was intensified one day last summer, when Mr. Pickering found his wife and Deacon An- derson bathing together at Rockaway, Mrs. Pickering wearing agg 2 for which her husband had paid &. he couple have since continued to live apart, the mother re- taining possession of their 4-year-old, etch haired, blue-eyed son. On Friday last Picket- ing saw the littie fellow playing in front of his mother-in-law’s house and CARRIED HIM OFF, in spite of the protests of his wife's brother. Gn Tuesday morning young Mrs. Pickering, her brothers, Richard and John, and Deacon Anderson descended on- the house of old Mre. Pickering, who had charge of the boy during her son's absence. oun Mrs. Pickering, it is alleged, was arme with a revolver and drawing it and flourishin ttinthe face of her mother-in-law dec that she had come prepared to take her child. The old lady clo the doors but her daugh- ter-in-law rushed to the rear re-entering the house from that direction. The front door was then forced open and the attacking part ran up-stairs, seized the child and departed with him in triumph. Mr. Pickering yester- day made complaint to Justice Kenna, em- bodying the above facts and warrants have been issued for the arrest of Deacon Anderson and Richard and John Kollyer ona we Ne kidnapping and malicious mischief,and of : Pickering on a charge of making ate. Mrs. Pickering was found last evening at her father’s cot in Virginia avenue. Sue said, as she fond) her boy: ‘‘Deacon Anderson te not the only person my husband has been ealous of. 1 know Anderson and one time get alon went with him bathing.

I., August 4.—The shortage of Jon- athan Robie, Treasurer of the Board of Trus- tees of the Soldiers’ Home, has created a com- motion here. The first signs of trouble made their appearance on the surface last April, when it was discovered that several large bills against the Home, which the treasurer should have liquidated remained unpaid. Then Gen. Siocum of New York, President of the Board, made efforts to have the treasurer give a bond. Robie promised to attend to the matter, but failed todo so. Two weeks ago Gen. Slocum visited Bath, and personally demanded of the treasurer that he comply with the rules and fie the required bonds. Robie promised to attend to it, only to break bis word agein.

THE ASPIRANTS FOR THE DEMOCRATIC VICE-PRESIDENTIAL NOMIN ATION. A Vigorous Boom Started for Postmaster General Vilas— The Stevenson Boom Wrecked by the Friends of Vilas—Solid With Cleveland—Messrs. Higgins, Thomas and Rasin—The Land Indemnity Cases. Py Telegraph te the Post-DIsPaTcnr. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 4.—An exciting contest is being waged by friends of several prominent Democrats here for the second place on the Presidential ticket next year. Each candidate advocates Cleveland for the first place, but modestly insists that he ts bet- ter fitted for the second place than any other man in the country. Postmaster-General Vilas is prominent in this class. His friends have been quietly working up a Vilas boom for some time. The Postmaster-General has taken no active part towards securing the nomination, but he has smiled approvingly on the work of hie friends in that direction. Mr. Stevenson, the First Assistant Postmaster-General, had a boom under way about six months ago, but of late it has apparently been seized with severe ijliness. His friends account for it by saying it has met the Vilas boom and hed to give way. Mr. Stevenson is very popular with the old line Democrats. He showed a disposition from the start to make changes among the fourth-class postmasters, and did not insist upon having a charge of offensive partisan- ship established againsta Republican before he would remove him. His popularity in- creased and many enthusiastic Democrats suggested his name for the Vice-Presidency. Mr. Vilas did not pay much attention to this at first, but sometime ago it was noticed that the Postmaster-General began to take a hand ein the appointing of fourth-class post- masters. Stevenson's boom was called in. GEN. BLACK A CANDIDATE. Pension-Commissioner Black appears to have the Vice-Presidential fever very bad. He certainly has a large number of indiscreet friends. Numerous bulletin and circulars have been sent out from the Pension Bureau during the past six weeks, calling attention to the efficiency of the management of the Pen- sion Office, and bow much better the old sol- diers are faring under Democratic rule than when the Republicans were in power. These maniiestoes were started soon after the Confederate-flag episede and — up ostensibly to prove that Mr. Cleve- and was the soldier's friend notwithstanding, but these ociroulars invariably wound up with a eulogistic notice of Gen. Black, and inci- dental 7 mentioned what a strong candidate he would make for the Vice-Presidency. Gen. Black has succeeded in getting a great deal of work outoftheemployes of ‘his bureau, and he has corrected a good many abuses, but some of his friends think it would be advisabie for him to call off his circular mers. SPARKS AFTER IT. Gen. Sparks, Commissioner of the Land Office, has been very quiet of late, but his friends say that he is in the feld tostay. An effort has been made to obtain a favorable ex- pression from Cleveland for one of the above candidates, but so far the President has kept his lips closed. As they have all hoisted Cleveland's name for the first place, the Pres- ol friends say it would be unwise to in- terfere. SOLID WITH CLEVELAND. Why Messrs. Higgins, Thomas and Rasin Are Safe Against Charges. By Telegraph to the Post-Disprarca. BALTIMORE! Md., August 4.—The chances of the President receiving information relative to the violations of his civil service order by Baltimore Federal office- holders, are becoming beautifully less unless Mr. Cleveland departs from his babitual indifference and resorts to the newspapers for the facts in the case or the civil service reform men respond to the de- mand of their League and do what they have thus far thought it not worth while to do.

The responses to Dorothea’s inquiry con- cerning the proprieties in cases of engage- ment are coming fast. The subject seems to have stirred not enly those in the community who are at the age when sentiment rules and | a kiss is as big as a mountain, buteven those who have passed the heyday of youth and look upon such things with the calm, dispas- sionate judgment of mature years and ex- perience. Dorothea, however, is likely to be more mixed than ever when she gets through reading all the answers that are sent in. Certainly, Kiss Charlie. My DEAR DOROTHEA—1! know you must be in a dreadful ‘‘diploma,’’ as Mrs. Partington would say, or I should not undertake to help you out. However, as I may be able to make you happier by my little suggestions, I will contribute them and am sure they will not be entirely devoid of interest to you and am also sure you will conclude to act on them. Yes, by all means kiss the poor fellow. You see lama boy myself, but I presume you have guessed that already.’’ It seems to me that it would be a most fully cruel and hard-hearted creature who would not allow her lover to fill his — of happiness to the utmost by the sublime an tender application ofa kiss. I have no doubt, my dear friend Dorothea, but that you know how very pleasant a kiss, or, if you please, many kisses are, from a real nice Charlie, even should you not be actually engaged to aw- im. I feel that I cannot bring myself to say in such a cold-blooded way as Margaret that PE —. are a fool, but it does seem to me that when, as you admit, you have found kissing a right nice young fellow not such avery un- pleasant thing to do, you are acting in a most unloverlike manner toward r Charlie in not allowing him to kiss you untl he is I really shall not write as though I were an- wering a real innocent little girl, because ur letter does not seem to be written by any other than a ve wily young lady who, no doubt, is not taking her first lessons in kiss- ing. Fus true we live lu a very progressive age, and one in which we are every day discon- tinuing our old ways, but Iam sure the art of kissing will pass on for many ages in the same good old way in which it has been handed down to us by our parentsand grand-parents. Speaking seriously, a kiss is nota piece of merchandise for us to toss about in a thought- less manner. It is one of the most sacred in- stitutions of a sacred God, and while girls and boys and young ladies and young men will in duige in it, many times in a way degrading to themselves and injurious to their womaniy and manly morality, still we are, lay- ing levity aside and earrestly regarding the matter, compelled to admit that kissing is one of the most sublime and bene ficial = of Providence. How many severe wounds that have bled most Ditterly have been healed in an instant by a tender kiss. How strong and manly a boy feels when start- — out to school with his mother's kiss still fresh upon his lips, and how happily the mother — e day longing only for evening, when she can again — her child in her arms and give vent to motherly love in kisses. With what anticipa- tion does a lover look forward to the meeting with his betrothed when be shall be greeted by a loving kiss. What woman witha tender and womaniy heart, and did she really love tue young man, would stop and debate within herself whether or not such a greeting is proper. She would takea kiss and give one in return and let the right or wrong take care of themselves. So, my dearfriend Dorothea, use your own inclination in the matter, which, of course, wiil be to kiss your Chariie, and don’t w your head about the impropriety of it, but if — love him truiy you will feel yourself inked almost to heaven when in his embrace and while indulging in his fond kisses, and will feel no desire to refrain for fear of immod- esty or wrong.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: DEAR SL have read Dorothea’s anx- ious letter to the Post-DIsPaATCH and the answers thereto, and would like to add my opinion to those of Margaret and Catherine. This is hardly a subject for public dis- cussion, since itis too sacred, and in sucha case ‘‘the heart is wiser than the intellect and moves with swifter hands and surer feet toward wise conclusions.’’ Miss Dorothea evi- dently bas an overstrained sense of 1 riety to trouble her. Of course it is eminently fitting that a young lady should be properly modest and reserved under all circumstances, but, when two people luve each other well enough to spend their lives together, 1s it not to supposed that there is perfect confidence and trust between them, and that such things are sacred in theeyes of each. | There is no question of conscience or right and wrong in the matter. Demonstration is the natural outgrowth of affection, and how discouraging it must be to a true, sincere, no- bie-hearted lover to feel that the object of his affections remains cold and unresponsive to his impassioned caresses? It is highly absurd to bring the possibility of breaking an en - ment into question; itis made in good Faith, and is supposed to be kept; and unless some unfortunate circumstance develo which would make such a course wisest and best for both parties concerned, such a thing should not be thought of, and an engagement (to me) is second only in sacredness to a contract of marriage. Nothing can be more absurd than a ‘‘spooney’’ couple, who show their mutual affection upon all occasions, but nothing is more unnatural than an eng couple who do not indulge in osculatory demonstration. Since all evil is simply perveeted good can only lie in the abuse of this world-wide time-honored custom. Guided * — experience I would advise Miss ro permit and return Charlie's“ kisses and caresses if she trusts him (and we hope she does), and if his face doesn’t light up witha grateful, happy smilesthat will more than re- pay her for the effort, Charlie is not what we think bim. In the hope that this may be of benefit to Miss Dorothea, at léast, and that sue will be guided by my kindly-intended advice, Jam very sincerely, ELIZABETH. Saucy Eighteen Likes Kisses.
