CHATSWORTH, III., August 12.—Nothing could exceed the awful horror of the tragedy of the burning culvert three miles east of Chate- worth in the pitchy darkness of the early morning of yesterday. 4 bit by bit the story is pleced together from the disjointed utterances of the terrified par- ticipants, the horror grows and grows until it assumes fearful proportions. The throbbings of a thousand hearts beat in it; the tears from hundreds of weeping eyes drip through and through it; the blood from more than « hundred hearts stains it crimson. THE CRY OF HOREOR, the wall of despair will ring through the streets of Chats- worth and in the ears of her people for months to come. The stench of decayin g humanity will cling to the houses of Chatsworth and haunt them for weeks. The awfulness of death hangs like a black cloud over the village and the country about it. In the confusion of the fearful scene of yes- terday few of the details ofthe disaster could be obtained. Little of the extent of the dam- age could be known. The story of the wreck- ing of the train as related by the survivors to- Gay lo about AS FOLLOWS: An excursion train composed of fifteen heavy cars drawn by two engines was passing east over the track of the Toledo, Peoria & Western at midnight. It bore aload of excursionists from Iowa and Illinois on their way to Niagara Falls. There were, as nearly as could be known, 960 pas- sengers on board. Six sleeping-cars and six day coaches were loaded to their full capacity, and three baggage cars were heavy with the weight of trunks, boxes and bundles. Engi- neer Sutherland stood at the throttle of the first engine. ENGINEER M’ CLINTOCK satin the cab of the second engine, with his eyes fixed on Sutherland and beyond him on the ralis that glistened in the broad beam of light from the engine's head lamps. The train had pulled out of Chatsworth at about 12:30. The night was black. save for the uncertain light of the stars, which winked through the clouds fast gather- ing in the heavens. Into the blackness of the night, cutting its way through the inky dark- from Chateworth it topped the browof a hill and the clear Whistle RANG OUT ITS WARNING as the train crossed the turnpike there. At the bottom of the hill was a little slough draining the country about. Hundreds ot them cross the railroads of lilinois. A light trestlework serves to connect the two banks of the slough and form the connecting link between the tracks on either side. As the train sped down the grade of the hill-side toward the slough track ahead. The light of the half moon just rising in the east was struggling through the clouds, casting uncertain shadows across the track. Within two hundred yards of the slough the engineer saw ANOTHER LIGHT AHEAD, a flickering, uncertain reg light. He strained ing moonlight. With a single, searching look the truth dawned on his mind. Too late for safety. The culvert abead was afire! There was no space in which tb stop the heavy train. The weight of fifteen oars, with the impetus gained in the run from Chateworth, pushed the engine forward with an irresistible foree TOWARD THE BURNING CULVERT. There was only one chance. There might be strength enough in the biazing timbers to hold up the train if carried across it at full speed. The engineer’s hand rested on the throttle. Quick as thought the full head of steam was turned into the steam chest. With gathering ness sped the excursion train. Two miles dered blindly on toward the culvert. The first ngine SHOT IN AMONG THE FLAMES, leaping the break in the track and reach- ing the other dank in safety. As it passed across the timbers cracked and broke, and the tender of the engine- breaking by its weight and impetus the con- necting link which bound it to the engine, dropping, crashing into the hole below. The first engine stood trembling but in safety on the bank. Behind it with AN AWFUL CRASH engine and tender sank through the broken culvert, while car after car ot the train be- hind was huried after them until nine great structures of wood and iron lay in a tangled, confused mass in the ditch below. Amid the crackling of the timbers and the snapping of the iron arose an awful chorus of SHRIEKS AND GROANS. In that brief moment of time in which thou- sands of dollars’ worth of property had been destroyed, over 100 souls had been sent to their last account, while hundreds of mangled men, women and children lay writhing, groaning. and shrieking under the wreck, pinned down by the timbers, crushed under rods of iron, doubled up, with bones cracked and broken, flesh bruised and torn and faces beaten toapulp. Strong men groaned and cried aloud in agony, women shrieked in pain and children moaned and wept. The six day coaches had climbed over one another and butted one another into A SHAPELESS MASS. The first of the six sleepers hung just over the mouth of the slough. The other five stood uninjured on the track. The sudden stop, the crash and the cries of the wounded brought the sleeping passengers from their berths. Some stopped to put on clothing. Others ran out into the open air clad in their night clothes. Thescene that met their eyes appalled them for the moment. Then with quick presence of mind one or two of the pas- sengers LED THE RESCUE. The fire that was eating at the timbers of the culvert gained new strength with the fresh fuel thus fed to it. The flames threatened the lives of the wounded and the bod- les of the dead. The first work of rescue must be the cutting off of the line of fire reaching out toward the wreck. There was no water anywhere near with which to quench the fames. They must be smothered. So strong hands and weak worked at the edge of the bank, gathering earth to heap upon the blaze. Others descended into the wreck and fought off little tongues of fame that threat- ened the wounded lying under the timbers. The gathering clouds shut out the light of the heavens, and the light of the burning timbers served to GUIDE THE RESCUERS intheirwork. The tide of fire was kept back by the workers and, little by little, was quenched. An hour after the accident a rain helped the rescuers. The flames were extin- guished, and all danger from that source was warded off. But now a new horror arose. ROBBING THE DEAD. Under the cover of the night a band of van- dais stole about the wreck, robbing the wounded and the dead. The suffering cried for help, and were answered witha blow. The faces of the dead looked up appealingly to the faces of the living and brought out no spark of human feeling. Watches and purses, rings and studs were stripped from the bodies in the wreck by these inhuman wretches. When morning broke, empty purses, bits of jewelry, relics of the inhuman raid, lay scattered about the flelds. THE WORK OF RESCUE. With the first light of morning the work of rescue was begun in earnest. The people of Chatsworth and Piper City and of the country around came in wagons and on foot to help the work along. The wounded had lain groaning underthe wreck through the weary hours of the night. One by one they were taken ont and as fast as transportation could be obtained were taken to Chatsworth and to Piper City. There were 115 of the wounded tying on such beds as could be im- provised by the people of this town yesterday. Some suffered horribly from the pain of their wounds, and to this in many cases was added the grief of the loss of some loved one. A SUICIDE. One man lying under the wreck cried for relief, and when it was found impossible to remove him instantly he drew arevolver and shot himself fatally in the head. Geo. Scott was slightly injured, but he joined in the work of relief. A mother, Mrs. Neal of Mossville, called on one of the rescuers to take her baby. A moment later she died. Andy Mooney and Conductor Stillwell, who were three cars apart at the time of the accident. found themselves in each other’s arms, unin- jured, in the ditch. Wm. Ellis was stunned, but not seriously hurt. He found his watch smashed, and the hands POINTING TO 12:18. As fast as the dead were brought into Chats- worth they were identified, if possible, and tioketed. Carpenters were put to work mak- ing rough pine coffins for them, for in the heat of the day the bodies had begun to decom- pose, and it was absolutely necessary to dis- pose of them as quickly as possible. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE is unknown, but there isa horrible suspicion that the culvert was fired by the devils who robbed the dead and wounded after the acci- dent. - — — ACCIDENT OR DESIGN? General Belief That the Train Was Wrecked by Robbers. Forest, III., August 12.—President E. F. Leonard of the Toledo, Peoria & Western Oompany, said to a reporter that he had made a careful but necessarily brief investigation of the aecident, and could in no way account for it uniess on the presumption that the bridge Engineer Sutherland looked out over the was set on fire deliberately by flends for the purpose of wrecking the train and robbing the passengers. To say he deplored the accident faintiy expressed his feelings. President Leonard came from Springfield in the after- noon, accompanied by Col. John E. Stevens, goneral solicitor of the road. A DEAD BODY ROBBED. When the dead body of Edwin F. Adams was searched by one of his friends, neither his pocket-book nor gold watch could be found, although he was known to have started on the trip with a large sum of money. The only cash found on his person was $30, which he had hid in the watch pocket of his trousers. PAYING FOR RESCUR. 8. H. Smither of Forks Haven, W. Va., in- formed a reporter that he saw a man who was pinned down by one of the cars offer several persons near by $100 and his gold watch and chain if they would release him. The persons to whom he appealed helped him out of the wreok as soon as they had assisted some women who were caught by timbers. THE RESPONSIBILITY. | Jeisprobeble that an investigation will ro- responsible for the disaster. The fact that fires were raging all around there was known to @verybody; the fact that dry prairie grass) grer right up to the line }was, Or should have been, known to the Officials, and the fact that the wooden trestie-work across the culvert was dried by the sun until it was as inflammable as tinder-wood was also known, or should have been. If ordinary preocaations had been ob- served, the accident would not have occurred. As already stated, the bridge must have been burning at least two hours before the train ; SENSATIONAL FEATURES. Sensational features were developed this morning as to the cause of the wreck. Ru- mors were afloat last night that it was due to robbers who fired the bridge, but little cre- dence was given them. This morning new facts, apparently showing the catastrophe to be the work ofan organized band, came to light and the company find them worthy of invéstigation. FIRED BY THIEVES. Superintendent Armstrong said to the Asso- ciated Press reporter that the more he investi- gatedthe more it appeared to him that the bridge had been set on fire. The burned grass in its immediate locality was not of a nature thatseemed likely toadmit of the bridge’s catching from it. He had observed many thieves at work, and had stopped them while despoilingthe wreck of property and money. Instances of the robbing of the dead were being brought to his attention. The excursion had been extensively advertised, and the time it would pass over the bridge was well known. KNOWN THIEVES AT THE SCENE. Citizens say that a gang of suspicious fellows have been loitering around Chatsworth for some days. Many of these were found early at the wreck paying more attention to reliev- ing the bodies of their valuabies than to caring tor them otherwise. Trainmen and passen- gers had frequent contentions with the van- dals. In one instance Superintendent Arm- strong found a well-xnown thief in the depot- room where the property taken from the wreck was stored. While the people of the town have done all in their power for the suf- ferers, there is a horde of tramps and thieves in this vicinity who do nothing but carry off anything they can get their hands on. THE RATE OF SPEED. Mr. Leonard said that as near as he could ascertain the train was making about thirty miles an hour at the time of the accident, not an excessive rate of speed, asthe track was in good condition. The bridge, an ordinary 15- foot wooden structure, was all rightat5 o’clock in the afternoon, when atrain passed over it, and half an hour later the section men in- spected it, under orders, in advance ofthe excursiontrain. It was all right then. - — —_—_ THE VICTIMS. Rallroad Officials’ Estimate of the Dead and Injured. FOREST, II., August 12.—President Leonard said that so faras the railroad officials could estimate there were about eighty killed and 100 seriously wounded. There are many who were slightly injured, of whom no record has yet been obtained. A list is being compiled in the Peoria offices of the company. THE UNIDENTIFIED DEAD. With the consent of the Coroner, President Leogprd bag arranged that all unclaimed bodtes will be cared for, washed and placed in coffins and conveyed to Peoria where, with all their effects, they will await identification. The bodies will be kept there as long as possi- ble and then, if not identified, will be in- terred. President Leonard and Superintendent Armstrong will go to Piper City this morning to care for the wounded there. The Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners are expected here about 10 o’clock to investigate the accident. As several desired witnesses have not yet ar- rived, it is not expected the Coroner will com- plete his hearing till late this afternoon. ESTIMATES OF THE DEAD. The estimates of the dead this morning are about the same as the figures sent last night. The Coroner’s list, revised up to the time the inguest was resumed to-day, foots up seventy-six. Notwithstanding contrary opinions expressed by the railroad off. cials, a survey of the wreck early to-day confirmed the belief that several bodies are still under the debris of the smashed en- glues and cars. The report yesterday that twenty dead were at Piper City is denied this morning by the President ofthe road. Three or four of the wounded carried to Piper Oity yesterday, died there, however, so that with the seventy-six on the Coroner’s list here and those supposed to be yet under the wreck, the estimate of eighty-four deaths appear to be. very close to the actual number. A SICKENING STENCH. The horrors of the wreck seemed deepening early this. morning instead of less ening Added to the pitiable spectacle of the dead and the miseries of the dying, a stench, sick- eningly foul, was issuing from allthe numer- ous places where the corpses of the victims yet remained. No picture of the horribie oc- currences immediately succeeding the acci- dent could equal in revolting details the scene at the Toledo, Peoria & Western depot here to-day. The west end of the littie structure is a coal house and lumber room, where, pro- miscuously stretched on the floor in the coal and rubbish, were SEVEN UNIDENTIFIED BODIES. Blood-stained, bedraggled sheets and bilan, kets were thrown loosely over each, but af- forded little protection from the swarms of flies which were continuously hovering over them. The awful odor emanating from the bodies effectually kept the room clear of all but the hardiest of the still lingering, anxious or curious crowds. Two of the victims were women, andthe sight of theirfaces was one never to be forgotten. CARING FOR THE INJURED. Temporary Hospitals for the Treatment of Sufferers—Sad Scenes. ForEst, III., August 12.—As fast as the wounded were brought into Chatsworth from the wreck they were taken directly to the Town Hall, which had been turned into a tem- porary hospital. This is a two-story frame pbuilding, the lower floor being used as quar- ters for the local fire company, while in the upper hall entertainments are given. Beds and cots were brought in from neighboring houses, together with necessary bedding, and the sufferers cared for by loving pands. The floors of the hall greatly ro- sembled the drill room of the Desplaines street police station in Chicago on the night of the Haymarket riot. Torn and bleeding human beings in all the different stages of suffering, lay around the rooms, moaning and crying TH AGONY AND PAIN, sult in holding some of the officials criminally | | would be absolutely brought from the scene of the wreck. Many patients were under the influence of ether or chloroform, while their faces, ghostly white, with teeth tightly clenched, showed the sufferings which they were undergoing, while partiaily oblivious to the fact. Blood was everywhere, on the floors, wails, cloth- ing and hands of the wounded, as well as of those who were caring for them. As the day wore away and the afternoon shadows light- ened into the evening the scenes changed somewhat, the wounded had been dressed quietly enough, overcome by MENTAL AND BODILY SUFFERING. Resting on comfortable beds, watched by tender- hearted men and women, the majority of whom had never seen the patients until yesterday, they slept, oblivious to the slaugh- ter which had taken place. Coal-oll lamps were placed around the halls, their light care- fully shaded, and the scene was strongly suggestive of the interior of a hospital on the field of battle. In one corner of the lower hall’ lay John 0. Steen, a _ resident of Jersey City, a large and powerful man. Both of his legs were broken and he had re- ceived such internal injuries as rendered his recovery doubtful. Adam Schoeberger of Pe- oria, lay near him, semi-conscious and SLOWLY BREATHING HIS LIFE AWAY. One of his legs was broken and he was fatally injured internally. On the upper floor a hand- some woman about 20 years of age, stylishly dressed, lay extended on a couch. She was Miss Hattie Brenner of Farmington, III., and was on her way to Niagara Falls with several of her relatives. In the party wasa young man named Walters, also of Farming- ton, and to whom she was engaged to be mar- ried. He had been badly injured and lay neor her on a bed, attended by a couple of sur- geons. While Miss Brenner was physically unhurt by the wreck, yet the fright and knowledge of her lover’s injuries has rendered her insane. NEGLIGENCE OF RAILRVUAD PEOPLE. There were very little stimulants, or, in fact, medical appliances or assistance of any kind on the ground atChatsworth. A man from Piper City, whose name could not be learned, brought a demijohn of whisky, but the railroad people seem to have done practically nothing. Men from Chatsworth, who worked all night at the wreck, were refused passage on the train go- ing back tothe village, and had to tramp home in a half-fainting condition for a bite to eat. It seemed to take the railroad four hours to get anengine ready to drag a car to or from the village, and the only persons allowed to ride WERE RAILROAD OFFICIALS. The people here are very bitter against the railroad company, and say that the officials, whether from the demoralization or excite- ment or from absolute pig-headedness, acted most inhumanely in many cases and treated the wounded most shamefully all round. In fact, they did not treat the wounded at all, but left them to the care of volunteers. There was nothing to binder the officials running trains back and forth, eastward to Gilman, and westward to Chatsworth, all through the night, carrying away the wounded and bringing back supplies, but nothing of the kind wasdone. The whole thing was justa piece of stupidity that allowed prairie fires to rage all along the line and took no precau- tions to see that the bridges were not burned down. OFFICIAL ATTENTION. President Leonard, Supt. Armstrong and other Toledo, Peoria & Western officials were seen this morning. They have given devoted attention to the relief of the injured and care ofthe dead. Both show signs of the terrible shock which the accident has been to them. Wounded to the number of forty fill the fire engine-house up and down-stairs,and the same faithful ladies and girls who had scarcely slept since the wreck were at the bedsides as on yesterday. In addition to these there were atleast a score of injured distributed among the private residences of the town, too badly hurt to be removed. — —— — THE WRECK, Master-Mechanic Warren and a Force of Men Removing the Debris. CHATSWORTH, III., August 12.—At 7 o’clock this morning Master-Mechanic Warren, witha wrecking train and a large force of men, was at work. Warren was confident that the track would be cleared for trains bynoon. They were certain that all bodies had been removed from the wreck. A special car, with officials of the Wabash road, reached the wreck early this morning, and they tendered the use of their wrecking outfit, and as well offered te be of any service possible. The Dlinois Central also offered any required assistance, but Mr. Warren said he thought his present equip- ment would enable him to clear the track. — — THE MORGUES. Sad Sights in the Improvised Dead-Houses —Appearance of the Bodies. ForREST, III., August 12.—In the depot at Chatsworth, and in the unoccupied store used as a morgue, the scene was suggestive of a slaughter-house. Stretched out on the floors in different directions were the corpses of men, women and children dressed in the clothing in which they had met their death. In the empty store, in a room twenty feet wide and forty feet long, were counted twen- ty-seven corpses at one time. Their clothing was torn and disheveled and their stiffened hands and arms in the majority of instances crossed over their breasts. The faces of the dead, who slept so, were generally straight ahead. The heads of the dead were generally mangled in the most frightful manner, and were always covered by some article of clothing. The face of a young woman who was lying on the floor of the depot had been so beaten in by the cruel car timbers that recognition was entirely out of the question, and her brains and tte flesh of her face were a pulpy mass in which dabbled her long red hair. She was not identified. A man with a heavy dark mustache, and who was appar- ently about 85 years of age, had been struck in the face by some substance which had torn away his jaw and the side of his face, leaving the throat and lower part of his face exposed. A 6-year-old boy with a chubby face and ourly hair looked contented and smiling. His legs were not alone broken, but the flesh was so mangled that it has the appearance of raw beef. His chest was crushed in and his body covered with bruises. Nearly every corpse was mangled or disfigured. The faces of some of the dead were black, as though they died by suffoca- tion, while others were deathly white. BODIES DECOMPOSING. The distorted features, wide staring eyes and putrefying wounds were gazed at but an instant, even by those looking fora missing mother or daughter. In a few one of the young women with light reddish hair effecte of the heat. Close by her, and bandaged, and most of them rested’ — raised above the other seven corpses, in the room was the dead body of a portly man, supported on acouple of old boxes. He Was in his stocking feet and coatless, and was rapidly decaying. The other dead men on the floor were in nearly as bad condition. Outside on the platform of the depot were several coffins filled with those identified during the night and now AWAITING SHIPMENT. The east end of the depot was in even worse confusion than the west. The floor continued strewn with unclaimed bag- gage m an inextricable mix. Little knots of people were pouring over the broken satchels and masses of soiled and torn underwear and trumpery, bringing to light here a little infant’s garments, and there the remains ofa widow’s bonnet. A little from the depet is a large vacant furniture store in which thirteen corpses were festering; only six of them were men, the others WERE WOMEN AND CHILDREN. Most of the thirteen had not yet been rec- Ognized , by friends and their countenancef were so mutilated and their cloth- ing so drabbled with dirt and blood that it is doubtful if they ever can be iden- tified. One pretty little woman, terribly man- gied, lay motionless beside a babe, toward which she was partly turned. Across the room wasastalwart man dead, but with his right arm still raised in agony and his fist tightly clinched. Over in the big school-house two more corpses were still uncoffined, wait- ing claimants. BOXING UP THE DEAD. ; A few hours had scarcely elapsed, however, when the aspect of the depot and the other morgues was completely transformed. A large force of men were set to work boxing up the dead, forwarding them to Peoria and cleaning out generally. They succeeded admirably and long before noon appearances had so changed that a chance visitor in Chatsworth could scarcely have believed inthe city of horrors it was last night and this morning. n THE ALARM AT CHATSWORTH. A Doctor’s Description of the Wreck in the Desert. CHATSWORTH, III., August 12.—The news of the disaster arrived at Chatsworth about forty minutes after its occurrence. The peaceable residents of the little town were suddenly awakened by an alarm which was rung simul- taneously from all the alarm boxes in the town. Inafew moments everybody was on his or her feet and people were running through the streets from all directions, all in- quiring where the fire was. When the actual facts were learned another alarm followed, which was soon vigorously re-echoed by the bells of allthe churches intown. The people made a rush for the road to Pipe Oity. DR. VAUGHN’S STORY. Dr. Vaughn of Chatsworth was almost the first to appear at the scene. He was seen by a reporter and told briefly what he saw. When I arrived Ifound there the greatest confusion,’’ hesaid. ‘‘Hell itself could mot present a more horrible picture—men and women fighting with death and ready to clutch ata straw to get saved. One man held his dead wife anda dead little child on his arms while his own feet were broken and propped up in the wreck. I relieved the un- fortunate of his burden and helped to drag him out and bring him to a sleeper. One of the greatest misfortunes was the fact that the wreck took place ALMOST IN A DESERT. „It was impossible to accord the wounded sufficient assistance. There were no ambu- lances—nothing to carry themon. They were dragged and pushed, and this accounts for the great number of people whe succumbed to their pains.’’ Fire-Marshal Henry H. Game of Chatsworth says he was the first to arrive at the scene. I had no time to observe anything that trans- pired around me,’’ hesaid. ‘‘Myself and my entire force were working like beavers all the time, and in the courseof half an hour we had thirty-three people—killed and wounded —dragged out of the debris.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., August 12.—The Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners will go to Chatsworth to-day and conduct an in- vestigation of the wreck of yesterday morn- .. pyapitery OF THD RATEBOAD. ForEST, III., August 12.—As to the lability of the company or future of the road, the President, Mr. Leonard, could not say. The first thing the officials will do will be to devote their attention tothe care of the unfortunate victims. It was a blow which would of course be most serious to the road, but that was nothing compared with the death and injury to human beings. Mr. Leonard said he could in all conscience say that he believed the road had provided every reasonable and customary safeguard. — — — THE INQUEST.” Proceedings of the Coroner’s Investigation n Held at Forest, III. ForeEsT, III., August 12.— The Coroner’s ta- quest, which begun last night, was held on the top floor of the public school-house. There were present only the Coroner, the jury, Presi- dent Leonard ofthe Toledo, Peoria & Western Railroad, Superintendent Armstrong of the same road, Master-of-Bridges Markley, Jus- tiee-of-the-Peace Estes and several reporters for the St. Louis, Chicago and Peoria papers. SUPERINTENDENT ARMSTRONG’S TESTIMONY. The first witness called was Supt, Armstrong. He testified that he was on the fated train, which consisted of six sleeping-cars, two chair cars, five passenger coaches, one special car and one baggage, drawn by engine No. 18, Lu- gineer E. McClintock, Fireman Applegreen, and engine No. 21, Engineer Ed. Sutherland. Engine No. 13 was next to the baggage ear.

He then asked one of the firemen where the front engine was, and was told that Engineer Sutherland had gone to Gitman for help. The engine came in about three-quarters of an hour with doctors. The wounded were taken out of the wreck where possible, and sent to Chatsworth and Piper City, while all of the dead were sent to Chats- worth, that being the county seat. The bridge * ONLY PARTLY DEMOLISHED ‘when the witness first saw it, the stringers at both ends having gone down. Dirt and brush: were thrown on the flames. The engine set fire to nothing and only one car and a Full- man sleeper were slightly burned. The wit- ness met the section foreman near the wreck, after the occurrence, and the latter said that he went over the section at 5:30, Wednesday, and there was no fire there then. The witness had warned him to have the section hands go over the section after quitting work, knowing that the excursion train was going over the road that night. No train went over the bridge after 5:80 o’clock Wednesday. The witness counted the tickets before reaching Chatsworth, and found that there were a few SIX HUNDRED PERSONS ON THE TRAIN. He said that he believed there were only three or four dead persons in Piper City. The witness did not think it was possible that any- body could have been so fiendish as to burn the bridge. About one week ago the grass @iong the right of way near the bridge had been burned off. The train was running, he judged, about thirty-five miles an hour at the time of the accident. Engineer Sutherland told him that he saw a small blaze before reaching the bridge, but thought it was a few leaves burning outside the track. The en- gineer also told him that he did not see the fire until he got directly over the bridge, and then he called for brakes, but it was TOO LATB TO AVERT THE ACCIDENT. The witness remained at the wreck until 7 o’clock in the morning, and saw to the hand- ling of the bodies. He saw one or two persons examining the pockets of the dead. He was informed by those making the search that it was their relatives whom they were searching. If he had had any suspicion that the bodies were being rified by these persons his suspic- ions would have been disarmed by the way in which the persons making the search answered him. He saw no one robbing the dead or cut- ting off fingers from the dead to secure rings. There was plenty of help to get bodies out of the wreck, valuable assistance being rendered by the Chatsworth Fire Company. In acorn- field near the wreck he heard A MAN CALLING ‘‘HELP! HELP!’’ The witness went toward the scene and found aman with his left leg broken above the ankle. The man asked him to turn his toes down. The witness didsoand toldafarmer’s boy, who came along withabucket of water,to stay near this man while the witness went to the assistance of others. Inafew minutes after leaving him the witness heard a shout, and, turning back, found that the man had shot himself in the forehead, producing instant death. The boy had meanwhile gone away a short distance to give water to another wound- ed person. The witness remembered having noticed the deceased trying to get something out of his pocket while the witness was turn- ing his toes inward. BRIDGE MASTER MARKLEY. J. H. Markley, Master of Bridges and Build- ings of the Toledo, Peoria & Western road, testified that he inspected the bridge in May last. It was made of two pile bents, four pil- ings to each bent. It was fifteen feet long and six feet high. The stringers were seven by sixteen feet, two of them being under each rail. The ties were six by eight, and nine feet long. The stringers, ties and guard rail were put in fourteen months ago. The piling was good for abouttwo years. There was a wall ot old timbers at each endof the bridge to keep up the embankment. ITS CONDITION WAS GOOD. The witness examined the bridge yesterday and found nothing left but part of the partly burned curb and a few pieces of small timber. The piles were burnt off close to the ground, three or four of them sticking up two feet from the ground. The witness thought that it would take about two hours for sucha bridge to burn. Two other bridges on the road had been burnt this year, but had been seen in time to prevent accidents. The burned bridge was about two miles and a half east of Chats- worth. At this point the inquest was adjourned un- til to-day, when Engineer Sutherland, Fireman Applegreen, several section men, and some of the passengers in the train will be examined. SIGNIFICANT TESTIMONY. At the morning session of the Coroner’s ury some decidedly significant testimony was givén. Timothy Coughlin, the section fore- man, testified that he had four men helping him on his six and a half miles. He received orders on Wednesday to go over his section and see that the bridges and track were all right. Coughlin went to the east end of the section and burned the grass along the track for half a mile. He burned a piece a little over half a mille from the wreck and put the fire out. He examined the bridge about 5 o’clock and found no smoke about it, and otherwise it was U right. About three weeks ago the grass under the bridge had been out away for ten feetfromthe bridge timbers, and he had no des- how the bridge could have caught fire. THE ROADMASTER’S TESTIMONY. Ohristopher Ennis, the roadmaster for the line from the State line to Peoria, said he went over the road Wednesday from Fairbury toGilman. He went over the fatal bridge just before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He was on the rear end of the car and saw that the bridge was all right. There was no fire or smoke about the bridge. Ennis said: ‘‘My opinion is that the bridge was set on fire by some- body. My train was the last train over before the special, and if there was fire there the men would have discovered it. The bridge could have been burned in two or three hours. About three years ago two attempts were made to ditch the 10 o'clock passenger train at that bridge, and we kept a watchman there for six weeks; obstractions were piled on the track. It ie a very lonesome place—far from any house. A FARMER'S TESTIMONY. Wm. Hallam, a farmer, testified that on Au- gust 10 he went to the depot about 8:30. He saw a light on the track. We were walt ing on the platform forthe excursion traln, paid he, and thought the light was from the headiwht of a freight. We waited two hows for the excursion train and when no train came from the east we knew it wagafire. I got in the first car. Many others thought it was a fire and re- marked «bout it. Witness noted the roughness of the road. Then came a crash and witness was wedged in, slightly at rst, and — — wor m in h 2 J any ls oar were Wm. H. Hallam, son of the farmer, was next called and corroborated this testimony. **I was fast at first,’’ said he, but released myself. I couldn't ste whether any one else was hurt. lwasn’t much hurt myself, and stayed at the wreck till the train with the wounded came up to Chateworth. I don't know whether the fire could be seen from here when the excursion train left. SAW THE vm. Julius Roepke testified: ‘‘l am a farmer and uve a mile southeast of town and two south- ww, * west from the wreck, I was at home the The children sitting around said: ‘Oh, papa; there is some fre over there!’ I said that it was no Gre, from I kept looking over and over and as the train didn’t move, I thought it wasa broken-down engine. I went to bed at 9:30. I for half am hour, and evening of August 10. was a train and guessed it Piper. had watched it had no idea fire on the track. there was went home, where I stayed till 5 o’clock. hadn’t seen any fire in the afternoon.’’ The inquest adjourned till 1 o’clock p.m. RELIEF FOR THE SUFFEREBS. A Mass-Meeting of Citizens Held at Peoria, III. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaToun. Pon. III., August 12.—The horror of the Chatsworth disaster caused almost a suspen- Crowds of citizens surrounded the telegraph offices and depots. Many went out on the relief trains to Chatsworth to offer their services as nurses. of friends or relatives who were injured inthe disaster. Mayor Kinzy called a mass- meeting last night, over which Judge James presided, and a re- lief committee to take charge of the injured brought to this city was appointed. Hundreds of people remained up all night waiting for sion of business here yesterday. Many went to the relief the relief trains. — THE DEAD.

DISASTERS IN A PERIOD OF SIXTY YEARS. The First Death on the Rail—Early Minor Disasters—The Angola Horror— Burning Cars Near Meudon, France—The Car Stove—Bridge Accidents—The Ashtabula Aftair—Fall of the Gasconade Bridge— Other Disasters. The first accident on a railroad occurred September 15, 1830, the day of the opening of the Manchester & Liverpool Railroad, the first ever bullt. William Huskisson, a member of Parliament for Liverpool, and one of the act- ive promoters of the road, left his carriage at Parkside, where the trains stopped for water, and stood at the door of the carriage occupied by the Duke of Wel- lington, talking to the Duke. He did not notice the approach of the ‘‘Rocket’’ on a parallel track until it was quite upon him. He was thrown down by the engine, which passed over one leg, mangling it dreadfully. He died that evening. No accident of any importance when loss of life is considered occurred on the line for years. A rear-end collision at Rainhill Station, in which one man was killed and several wounded, created quite as much excitement in England as the horror that is now occupying public attention. The breaking of an axle caused. an entire train to leave the track in 1836, but only one person was killed. Up to 1867there had been few really great railroad disasters, ac- cording to Charles Francis Adams, Jr., who has collated a number of railroad accidents. THE ANGOLA HORROR of December 18, 1867, was one of the first. It was onthe Lake Shore road. The eastern- bound express, consisting of a lo- comotive, four baggage, express and mail cars, an emigrant car and three first-class coaches, was due at Angola, asmall way station in Western New York, at 1:30p. m. It was, on the date named, two hours and forty-five minutes late, and in con- sequence ran rapidly. A third of a mile east of the station there isa shallow stream, Big Sister Creek. Theravine through which the creek runs is spanned by a bridge leo feet in length, at the east end of which isan abutment of masonry 50 feet long. The forward axle of the rear-truck of the rear car was bent slightly, and the wheel was out of plumb. This wheel jumped the track at a frog 600 feet east of the station, 1,200feet from the bridge. No stop was to be made at Angola, but as the car left the track the engineer attempted to siop. There were no air brakes then, and a stop in 1,200 feet at the speed of this train was im- Possible Jus before the bridge was reached, a second car left the track. The train ran onto the bridge. It was nearly across when the last car fell off on the north side, close to the abutment. The second car went over a moment later, but slid down the embankment. Though the second car was wrecked, but one person in it was kilied. His death was singular. As the car separated — the train the roof broke, and through this fissure he was car changed position and the roof closed tightl upon the passenger, crushing ife out. The other car fell fiity It was warmed by two iron stoves. When the car fell upon its end the passengers flung, but the were precipitated in a mass upon one over- turned stove, and the other fell upon them from above. Only three escaped alive. Forty- three perished IN 1874, DECEMBER 24, a similar accident occurred at Shipton-on- Cherwell on the Great Western Railway. The train was crowded and was drawn by two lo- comotives. About seven miles north of Ox- ford asthe train—going at a speed between thirty and forty miles an hour—roundeda gentie curve inthe approach to the bridge. over the Cherwell the tire of one of the wheels of the passenger coach benind the locomotive broke, throwing the coach off the track. The engines were reversed and brakes applied. In consequence the rear coaches collided violently with the derailed coach and themselves rolled downthe em- bankment. There wore fifteen coaches. Five were lefton the roadbed and but two onthe track. The coach that was originaliy derailed was demolished, and two that went down the embankment suffered asimilar fate. Thirty- four passengers were killed and sixty-seven were injured. ONE OF THE HISTORICAL RAILROAD ACCIDENTS occurred at Wollaston, near Boston, on the Old Colony road, on the evening of October 8, 1878. A large party of excursionists were re- turning from a rowing match on a special train consisting of two loco- motives and twenty-one cars. When it neared Wollaston the special was behind its time. A freight left Boston under the belief that the special had arrived, and at Wollaston disconnected the inward track used by the passenger trainee to do some _ switching. The engineer of the freight saw the special’s headlight half a mile away and, putting on all steam, got off the inward track to the outward- track to let the special go by. The inward track was broken at two points, however. by open switches and the freight conduc- tor tried to throw the switches. He got one half thrown as the special went into the frog. Both locomotives, baggage car and six passenger coaches left the rails. The engines toppled over. The momentum of fourteen forward cars had been partially checked by brakes butthey were pushed forward by the un- checked momentum of the rear eight cars. Something had to yield. Two of the cars were reduced to splinters, and the others were derailed. Nineteen persons were killed d fitty seriously injured. An accident occurred on the Great Western Wailroad ef Canada, October, 1854. A regular Passenger locomotive and seven cars ap- proaching Detroit collided with a gravel train of fifteen cars. The passenger train locomotive was thrown off the track and down the embankment, dragging a baggage car. Atthe head ofthe passenger portion of the train were two second-class cars filled with emigrants. Both cars were telescoped and all the occupants killed or injured. orty-seven were killed and sixty maimed. All of these accidents can be classed under two or three heads. One more like the horror of the Toledo, Peoria & Western yesterda morning occurred in France, May d. 1842. It Was the birthday ot Louls oh age and the occasion had been gorgeously celebrated at Versailles. At 5 o’clock the train left Ver- sailles for Paris packed, pulled by two loco- motives. Between Bellevue and Meudon AN AXLE OF THE FOREMOST LOCOMOTIVE BROKE, letting the body of the engine down. The second locomotiye was driven upon the first, and the fire from both engines was distributed over the track. Three carriages filled with passengers dashed upon theruin. The doors were locked. The carriages took fire. Fifty- two bodies were taken out and forty — were injured. The exact number of killed was never really ascertained, as man doubtless completely incinerated. e occurred near Campbell Station twe ear Campbe tion, twelv from Philadelphia, July 17, 1856.’ n dred school children had been out on a Sun- dey-school picnic in charge of teachers and friends.

THE OIL CAR figured in another horror on the Hudson River Railroad, February 6, 1871. A freight train was zoing south. Near the bridge over Miss, > pinger’s Ureek, near New Hamburg, a car in the center of the train was discovered to be off the track. In stopping two other cars were derailed on the bridge and one was thrown across the passenger track. It had on it two oil tanks. Before the signals could be got out the Pacific Express from New York came along. An attempt was made to stop it, but acollision ensued. The oil took fire, and in an instant the bridge, locomotive and cars were in flames. The trestle work gave way,and thecarsfell into the water. Twenty-one persons were killed apd mapy were injured. THE ASHTABULA (OHIO) BRIDGE DISASTER is another sort. It was on the Michigan Southern & Lake Shore road. The bridge was about 1,000 feet east of the station of the same name. It was an iron Howe truss, 150 feet span, elevated 69 feet above the ravine and supported at either end by solid mason work and abutments. It was 4 years old. On De- cember 29, 1876, the Pacific express left Erie going west behind time. It was due at Ashtabula at 5:30 p. m., but was three hours late. The darkness was intense when the train arrived at the bridge. The train was made up of two heavy locomotives, four baggage, mail and express cars, one smo car, twocoaches, a drawing-room car, an three sleepers. There were on board 170 passengers andtwenty employes. The train moved at a speed ot twelve or fourteen miles an hour on the bridge. The first engine was almost over as the bridge gave way. The engineer pulled wide open the throttle an saved himself and engine. He looked back and saw the other engine top- pling down into the ravine. The bridge was only long enough for the engines and two ex- press cars to stand on, and it having given way with the engines and cars on, all the suc- ceeding cars went down into the abyss as they reached it, falling one uponthe other. The cars were heated with stoves, and in a few miuutes the horror began. Going into the ravine was only a tumultuous introduction, Eighty persons are supposed to have been killed. The real number was never ascor- tained. . On January 18, 1878, a large party of excur- sionists were returning from a Moody and Sankey meeting on the Connecticut Western Railway. Thespecial train consisted of two locomotives and ten cars. Half a mile west of Tariffville, Conn., the road crosses the Far- rington River. Exactiyas at Ashtabula, the bridge gave way as the leading locomotive passed on to the trestie work beyond the bridge. The cars went down, and their de- ing no fire to add to the horror but thirteen persons were killed and thirty-three injured. A BRIDGE ACCIDENT that could not here be overlooked occurred November 1, 1855. A train-load of people from St. Louis and vicinity on an excursion cele- brating the opening of the Pacific Railroad of Missouri went through the bridge over the Gasconade River. The killed numbered twenty-two and fifty were injured. TWO RECENT ACCIDENTS occurred at White River Junction, Vt., February 5, 1887, and at Forest HIII, near ston, March 14, 1887. The Montreal express had on the night of February 5 one baggage car, a mall car and four coaches. The train was late at the bridge over White River, but was going slow. The Boston sleeper was derailed through some cause and toppled off the bridge. The Springfield sleeper and two coaches followed. wenty-seven were killed.: train on the Boston & Providence Railroad, ridge over a highway between Forest Hill and Rostindale. Five cars fell thirty-five feet. The disaster now uttracting public attention other accident that compared with the one last mentioned,that is the loss of ninety persons in the Frith of Tay, Scotland, by the blowing away of the bridge while the passenger train was passing over. This accident occurred De- cember 28, 1879. THE TANK COLLAPSED. Six Men Killed—A Train Runs off a Bridge— Casualties. | Six Men Killed.

According to the announcement promul- gated by Chief Lindsay in yesterday’s Post- Disraren, the funeral services of Barney Mo- Kernan and Frank McDonald were held at 10 o'clock this morning. By an agreement be- tween the families, the services of both were celebrated at the latter’s church, St. Johns. McKernan was a member of St. Malachy’s, at Twenty-ninth and Clark avenue, but St. John's being more central, that church was chosen. AT THE RESIDENCE of McKernan, 217 Eugenia street, the Iinci- dents were very pathetic. Long before the ar- rival of Undertaker Clark’s hearse a number of people had gathered in front of the house, while inside were many neighboring women, impelled by the mingled desires to extend sympathy and witness the last scenes in the home. At last when about 9 o’clock the hearse arrived and the final preparations were begun, it was next to impossible to move about in the house on account of the mass, which occupied every footof space in room and ball.

Each one wanted to do her share toward resuscitating the uncon- ecilous woman, and each one thought her serv- ices ere the only thing that could keep off death. As a result not fewer than fifty women were huddled in a Uttle ring about Mrs. McKernan. Demands for air, appeals for a break in the mass availed notbing. All the while the children, — 1 by this additional calamity, broke into a tempest of weeping which was Caught up and ad to by a dozen susceptible women. The throng had shut of all the avenues of ventila- tion and the air was 2 It n such surroundings. This was seen by Assistant seemed impossible to bring the lady to Chieti John F.

Some air managed to get in and revived Mrs. McKernan, who, a Quarter of an hour later, was. ready togotoihechureh, It was then drawing near 10 o'clock, and the procession was at once formed. The hearse, flanked by the pall- bearers, was followed by the carriages con- taining the mourners. It passed down Olark avenue to Fifteenth street, where it met the escort of McDonald’s remains. It had n ‘rranged that the two processions should meet at Fifteeeth street and Clark avenue, but as the delay at the McKernan Tesidence had seemingly made the junction impossible, the coming together was regarded as the * happy feature in the whole sad business. There was no special incident at the house, No. 514 South Fourteenth street. whence McDonald’s body was taken. The pall-bearers put the remains in the hea/se of Cullen & Kelly and took their places at the side, the order being the same as in the other procession. The cortege moved Up Fourteenth to Clark avenue, and thence to Fifteenth. The McDonald procession being & trifle ahead at the meeting of the wo, it was allowed to lead the way over fifteenth street to Chestnut, where it turned Nest and proceeded to the church at the vor- her of Sixteenth and Chestnut streets. There the first line passed a little further on to r- mit the McKernan cortege to reach the door ret, a distinction made on account of McKer- Düne age, he having been 89, while McDonald was but 28. = THE SCENE AT THE CHURCH — strikug in the extreme, as the caskets ,'¢ lowered from the hearses.

He first purchased in 1844 a farm in Jackson County, two miles from this city, moving seven years later to Kansas City to enter the wholesale commission business with his brother, James A. Gregory. In April, 1853, Kansas City, although only a village, was incorporated, and Mr. Gregory elected its first Mayor. He assisted in framing the original c'ty charter and signed Kansas City’s first laws.

THE Newark Journal speaks of ‘‘the **cold-hearted inhumanity of the Penn- **sylvania slave-drivers.’’ This indicates that the slave center of the country has shifted considerably during the last twen- ty-five years. If JohN Browwn’s spirit is still on duty it should march around the Pennsylvania mining regions on a hu- mane tour of inspection. — — 8 — THE continued retention in office of Mr. Hieorns of Maryland leaves us still in un- certainty as to whether Mr. CLEVELAND on his arrival in St. Louis would prefer to be welcomed atthe depot by an escort from the Missouri branch of the United States Civil-Service Reform League or by a delegation from the Custom-house with white plug hats and yellow canes. a —e - - 2 — Ir is seldom that the Posr-Disraron is called on on two successive days to publish extras on such mournful events as those which it was our duty to record yesterday and the day before. No local disaster ap- peals to such widespread sympathy asa disaster to any of our firemen while inthe discharge of their duty, and the Chats- worth accident, of which we gave the first news yesterday, was one of the most ap- palling in the whole history of railroad travel. 338 Tux President has finally announced the route of his Western trip and put an end to the agony of numerous Mayors of small towns, who have been desirous of im- pressing the Executive with a sense of their importance. It is stated that the traveling will be done by the ordinary trains, and it is pretty certain that if the President comes out West to see the peo- ple, the people will come out to see the President. —_— —_—-. a WRILE it is possible that there may have been some pickpockets and bad oha o- ters among the excursionists on the train that was wrecked at Chatsworth, and that some cases of robbery and plunder may have ocourred, it is hardly credible that the train was wrecked for purposes of plunder, and allowance must be made for the excited state of mind of the witnesses who report the al- leged robberies. Those who worked through the horrors of that dreadful night, fighting the fire with earth, dragging out the mangled living and dead and witnessing such agony as they had never conceived of before, may well be exoused if they easily. believed any report of a gloomy and morbid nature. It is to be hoped that the full investigation will 4 — — ) > prove that the burning of the culvert was accidental, and that the cases in which the presence of death failed to check the in- stincts of thievery were few, if any. HENRY OLAY’S SONS. The death of the last surviving son of Hewry CLA is the occasion for a repeti- tion of the old stereotyped disparagement of that famous orator’s sons, The simple fact about them is that they all shunned public life and preferred the private sta- tion. Lieut.-Col. Henry Cray, IR., died the death of a hero, leading a charge of the Second Kentucky Volunteers on the battle- field of Buena Vista. He was a man of recognized ability, but with no inclination to serve his country otherwise than as a private citizen in peace and as a volunteer soldier in war. JaMEs B. Cay, the only one of the sons who ever became a candidate, was liter - ally hounded into the position by the abuse heaped upon him for refusing as a private citizen to follow the Whig leaders of Kentucky into the dark-lantern lodges of Know Nothingism. A sagacious busi- ness man, he had made a fortune in St. Louis, and returned after his father’s death to save the old Ashland home from the hands of the stranger. Stung by de- traction, which he had no other way of rebuking, he accepted a Democratic nom- ination for Congress in his father’s old district in 1857, at a time when it was represented by a Know Nothing and when the Democrats scarcely hoped to carry it. He ran against the ablest and strongest opponent that could have been pitted against him at that time, RoGeR W. Hanson. He proved himself one of the most energetic and powerful campaigners that ever contest- ed that district. Meeting his competitor again and again on the stump in every precinct, he left behind him a reputation as one of the readiest and keenest debat- ers that had ever fought for the district so often and so hotly contested by such men as Henry CLAVY, JOHN J. CRITTENDEN, the MaRSHALLS, the BRECKENRIDGES and the WICKLIFFES. His display of previously inert power wasa most pleasing sur- prise to the Democrats, and he car- ried the district against inside and outside efforts to beat him suchas had never been arrayed against his father. He did not intend or wish to remain in public life after serving out his term in Congress, and being one of those Union men whé who was not fully satisfied with the course of either side during the war, he had to leave home and died in Canada. JaMrs B. CLay never would have fol- lowed in the footsteps of his father or em- ulated the latter’s fame, but no man who heard him in the off-hand debates of that canvass will ever deny that he possessed all of his great father’s spirit, and, un- trained as he was in such contests, a read- iness and power which made him a for- midable antagonist for any man. — . —— — Ir rg none of the Government’s busi- ness,” says Senator STANFORD, ‘‘what the Central Pacific did with its money.“ This may be true as a general proposi- tion, but in many cases it becomes the Government’s duty and business to find out what individuals and corporations have been doing with their money. It is true, ina general way, that it was no- body’s business what Jake SuHarp did with his money, but when Jacosp contracted the habit of inserting his pelfin the pockets of corrupt Aldermen and receiv- ing, contrary to law, valuable franchises for the same, then it became the duty of certain public officials to find out what he had been doing with his abundant wealth. It is singular that Senator STANFORD should be, at the same time, so obtuse in State and Federal lobbies, and so super- sensitive on the witness-stand. 8 „ — Tun Globe-Democrat has something to say about another letter from JEFFERSON Davis ‘‘in which he reiterates his former “statement that Gov. CURTIN at one time “during the war schemed to have him as- ‘‘sassinated.” No such letter from Mr. Davis has ever been published, and if the G-D. has such a document in its possession, it ought to print it. Mr. Davis recently wrote a letter to the New York WORLD, but it contains no such statement as that mentioned above. Mr. Davis has never stated that Gov. CurTIN tried to have him assassinated during the war, and of course has never reiterated any such statement. The old man has had a good deal to bear and is entitled to im- munity from the fabrications of imagin- ative editors and correspondents. EE ~~ OnE of the colored editors attending the national convention of colored editors at Louisville, Ky., expresseses himself as bitterly opposed to Bramn as the next Republican candidate for President. There is nothing in BLarnr’s public career which is specially calculated to win for him the support of the negroes. His feigned horror at the imaginary wrongs of the negroes was too transparent for a successful deception; while his exploded fabrications about the wages paid in the South did the black man a cruel injustice since they disparaged his worth and efficiency, and represented him as inca- pable of holding his ground in the labor market of the world. AN English Court has rendered a very refreshing and very important decision in holding that gas meters will lie occasionally, and that their testimony is worthless when contradicted by that of more respectable human witnesses. The Wandsworth Gas Company's bill of £12 178. 7d. for a quarter’s consumption of gas was disputed by Mr. WaLrzrR Rr, who and a friend that he had used more gas in the preceding quarter and been charged for it only £7 16s. 5d. The com- pany’s officers and the maker of the meter testified that it was infallible, but finally admitted that it might err, and on this ground the court held that the meter reading was incorrect, and that the £8 which Mr. Rr had offered to pay was enough. 1 1 „ nal Come and Go. From the Springfield Republican. They have raised up a new issue against the Administration out in St. Louis. After the President had closed his acceptance of the sec- ond invitation withthe words ‘‘I will come,’’ he is sharply arraigned by newspaper oppo- nents in that city for using bad grammar. They claim that he should have said ‘‘I will go, and proceed to read off a lesson to the chief magistrate on the use of good English. All this is very serious and unfortunate, coming as it does 80 soon after that Grand Army episode. But the matter is * investigated thoroughly. It is found tha James Russell Lowell once sent this note to an invitation committee: ‘‘I cannot come, but will send you a toast. In the light of such au- thority, the President should stand by his words, say his friends. It is further found that Mayor Francis closed his invitation speech to which the President responded, in this way: Come and be our guest. The opponents of the Administration have been unable so far to answer these arguments,and the matter prom- ises to blow quietly over. It is claimed by the neutrals in this controversy that it grows di- rectly out of the unenviable notoriety given to the city by the sign, which was painted upon the car bearing the invitation committee to Washington: The people of Missouri invites ‘the President,’’ etc. The sign was written by a member of the St. Louls Board of Educa- tion, and it was not until the car was half way tothe Capital that the mistake was dis- covered anda handkerchief was pinned over the ‘‘s’’ tn invites. So the present con- troversy isin the line of rescuing a grammat- ical reputation. Loved the Flag. From the New York WORLD. Gen. Lucius Fairchild, the dispenser of palsy, has, it appears, an abnormal fondness tor the American flag. Fairchild was Consul- General at Paris in 1878. At the close of the Paris Exposition he sent two magnificent American flags to the French Government. The Gov- ernment gracefully presented one of the flags to the American Legation and the other to the Consulate. On the 4th of last July Maj. Rathbone, the new Consul-General at Paris, was astonished to find a miserable flag hung out at the Consulate in honor of the day. On inquiry he was informed that Gen. Fairchild had packed up the handsome emblem received from the French Government and brought it back to this country. Doubtless the gallant Commander of the G. A. R. considers his trophy a captured flag, for he has never sent it back to the Consulate at Paris. Itis just possible, of course, that Maj. Rathbone has been misinformed in regard to the matter, butin any case an explanation seems to be due from Gen. Fairchild. Pennsylvania Demecrats. From the Philadelphia Record. The Democratic Congressman of Pennsyl- vania, with butone ortwo honorabie excep- tions, are persistent in the work of misleading the people. They should have no part in Democratic conferences. If they believe in the right of taxation for purposes of private emolument, they should attach their political fortunes to the party that is committed to that heresy; and men of Pennsylvania pretending to be Democrats who follow these false leaders should also seek other political affiliations. > ete N 45 — Estimate of Sherman’s Strength. From the Toledo Blade (Rep.) The cold fact stil) remains that the resolu- tion does not represent the sentiment of all Ohio Republicans. To-day John Sherman could not secure a two-thirds delegation from Ohio. Whether he can next year remains to be seen. If he goes into the State campaign with a vim, and heartily and sincerely works for the election of Foraker and the success of the Republican party, he may be able to do so. But he can never get it through machine meth- ods. MEN OF MARK, BEN: PERLEY POORE, who died some months ago, is still writing letters for the Boston Budget. EX-SEORETARY MANNING plays whist every day on the trains between New York and Long Beach, where he is stopping. Sam JONES receives $500 for three days’ work at Round Lake, N. Y., during which time he preaches nine round sermons. It is whispered that President Cleveland will hold a champagne stag party at Oak View soon and that only Cabinet officials will be his guests. J. E. SHERMAN of Cape Charles, Va., has raised $16,000 worth of kale from fifty acres, or $320 per acre. His met profit is $12,950, or $259 per acre. DURING the late and fatal illness of M. Kat- koff no editorials appeared in his Moscow Ga- zette. There was no one able to take the chief’s place. JULIUS CHAMBERS, well known in Philadel- phia journalism, has become the editor of Galignani’s Messenger, which James Gordon Bennett Las bought. H. H. WARNER, the patent medicine proprie- tor, is at Saratoga. He is a tall, vigorous man, with gray mustache and goatee and a bronzed, unwrinkied face. He is about45 years of age. IT appears that Congressman Phelan of Mem- phis is not, after all, the youngest member-of the Fiftieth Congress. Congressman Shively of Indiana was born in March, 1857, a year later than Mr. Phelan. MR. HIGGINS bathes every morning in the surf, attends the races in the afternoon and spends his evenings at the olubs. It is said that he has won some hundreds of dollars at the races. His favorite drink is champagne. No Max, says Mr. Ruskin in one of his latest essays, should mafry under four-and- twenty; no girl under 18. And he adds that the young man should choose his bride as he would choose his destiny, with range of choice from earth to heaven. THE late Editor Wilkins of the Whitehall Times was, according to the Albany Argus, one of the few men who had the courage to introduce American polities into fiction. The country, however,is looking for the editor bee first introduced fiction into American pol- o. SERGT. MasON, made famous for having shot at Guiteau during his trial for the murder of President Garfield, and who was confined in the Albany Penitentiary for some time, has become a prosperous and very quiet farmer in Orange Oounty, Virginia.

The Secretary gave Mr. Hanna, his pri- vate Secretary, a large check and told him to go and purchase a fitting present. Mr. Hanne was not equal to the task, and took the check to the Randalls and asked their advice about its expenditure. Naturally the Randalls felt insulted. i WOMEN OF THE WOBLD.

By Telecraph to the PosT-DISPATOCRH. NEW YORK, August 12.—The WORLD says: It is not an edifying spectacle to the country at large, nor one Calculated to strengthen the Democratic party, to see the gamblers in Wall street bulling and bearing each other over the probable success or failure of tis Secretary of the Treasury to supply them with more money. How much better it would be to have the tax- payers rejoicing at a prospective lightening of their unnecessary burdens. All that the Gov- ernment legitimately has to do in keeping money in circulation is to make disbursements for its necessary expenses in accordance with the acts of Congress. To serve asa stop-gap for Wall street is not one of its functions. The only right way to deal with the surplus is to stop it by reducing excessive taxation. The way to make money plenty is to leave it in the channels of business and in the pockets of the men who earn it.’’ THE 8UN. The Sun says: The same old story—the cars took fire from the lamps. Will railroad managers ever learn thatthe car lamp must go? THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘The number of these casualties is becoming alarming. It is impos- sible to excuse them. They aré invariably the result of somebody’s stupidity and misman- agement. The element of human folly or recklessness is at the bottom of them all, and only in rare cases can the blame be confined tothe person whose silly head or careless hand committed the particular blunder that brought about disaster.

The Little Chloroformer’s Lawyer Returns With the Writ of Error, Which Gives Him a Further Lease of Life—The Points on Which Justice Miller Granted the Writ— The Question of Jurisdiction—Probabil- ities as to the Time the Case Will Be Heard—Mr. Fauntleroy Talks Freely About His Plans and Prospects. This morning Mr. P. W. Fauntleroy, who obtained a writ of error in the Maxwell case from Justice Miller, of the United States Su- preme Court, last week, returned home. He brought with him the writ which the Olerk of the court at Washington issued, and to-morrow morning will go to Jefferson City to file it with the Clerk of the State Supreme Court, and have the records of the case sent to Washington. On his way back from the National Capital, Mr. Fauntie- roy stopped for a few days with his father, who is Presiding Judge of the Court of Appeals of Virginia, a tribunal which holds the same relation to that State as the State Supreme Court does to Missouri. Mr. Fauntieroy is looking remarkably well and feels naturally jubilant over his success in securing the writ. ‘‘THE WHOLE cas, he remarked to a Post-DISPATCH reporter, **depends on whether the fourteenth amend- ment is broad enough to cover a case where you have been denied some right by the de- cision of a trial court. The four- teenth amendment provides that no State shail deprive erson any P of life, liberty or property without due pro- cess of law, nor deny to any person within its ea the equal protection of the laws. if it is held that this amendment does cover cases in which certain rights have been denied a defendant by the decisions of a trial court, then the United States Supreme Court has jurisdiction in the case. Everything hinges on whether they have juris- diction. The decisions of the court on this amendment are not very clear and we cannot, of course say how the court will in this instance con- strue the amendment. If they hold they have jurisdiction inthe matter we can secure a reversal of the case sure, as we make eight or ten points in our petition, any one of which is sufficient to reverse the case, if the court has jurisdiction. There is not the slightest doubt in my mind on that question. * What are your points?’ „Oh, they are all points raised in our appeal to the State Supreme Court, and all depend upon the court’s construction of this four- teenth amendment. brought in the Dingfelder business. We hol that the Circuit-Attorney by placing him in jail with Maxwell for the express purpose of extorting a confession by fraud from him did in effect violate the law, which holds that no man shall be required to testify against him- self. Then the question arises that if it is such a violation of the law whether it comes under the fourteenth amendment, thus giving the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT jurisdiction. Another int we made is the denial of a public trial. en we raise another that the third count of the indictment was — worthless, and that the Court in in- structing the jury altered the count so as to make it good. Thus Maxwell, we hold, was not tried by an indictment found by the Grand-jury, as required by law, but by one prepared by the Court. We claim further, that he was denied the constitutional right of being heard by counsel on the ques tion of character evidence. The Court al- lowed the State to assert that negative testi- mony as to character was worthless, and would not * us explain to the jury that it was th best of testimony as _ to character, according to decisions of the Su- preme Court. That matter aboutthe supple- mental motion for a new trial is anotber of our points. The statute on the point requires a motion for a new trial to be filed within four days after a verdict is returned. We claim that after the expira- ation of this time limit we found one of urymen to the be incompetent, and that the statute requir- ing the motion to be filed within four days thus conflicts with the defendant's right toa trial by a competent and impartial jury. Still another of our points is thatthe judge is re- quired by law here to instruct the jury on ail points of law arising in a case, and that he should have instructed the jury ard to Druyfelder’s testimony, that they could not convict on extra-judicial testi- mony alone. The State Supreme Court con- ceded this to be the law, but held that the court had not been asked to give the instruc- tion and was not compelled to do so unless asked. Allour points are of this character. They are State points, and even if well taken, the question is whether the United States Su- —n Court has any jurisdiction in the mat- er under the Fourteenth Amendment. As I have stated before, if the United States Su- reme Court holes that the Federal Constitu- ion does — these rights, then we can un- questionably reverse the case. I amm certain of that.“ But if they decide the Fourteenth Amend- ment does cover these points, does that not throw down the gates and make every case 8 to the United States Supreme urt or 0 „That would depend upon how far their de- cision goes. They might frame it so as to 0 in only certain violations of State laws by trial court. Are there any international points in- volved or any that conflict directly with the Constitution of the United States?’ „„We have no international points. Our points are all on matters done bythe trial court canflicting with the State Constitution and laws, but if they conflict with the United States Constitution at all, they do so di- aac the ? **Which of your points appeared to impress Judge Miller most?’’ „He did not indicate what points he placed most faith in. When I spoke to him about the record he told me he did not intend to wade through my 500 or 600 pages of record, and that I would have to tell him my ae I don know what he would have thought it I him there were 1,500 pages in the record. When I REACHED VIRGINIA Ifound that the attorneys there were very much surprised at my surviving the writ from Judge Miller. A large number of them spoke to my father on the matter and all ressed the opinion that Judge Miller was the est man on the Supreme bench from whom to se- cure a writ. I the State files a motion to dismiss your writ on the ground of lack of jurisdiction when the United States Supreme Court meets in October, will itnot be decided almost im- mediately and 2 ot the power of the court thus disposed of?’’ Very likely it will be decided soon by the Court ifsuch a motionis filed. lf the court then holds they have no jurisdiction, of course our case will de thrown out and the matter ended. Should they, however, hold that they have jurisdiction, you may depend upon our se ing 0 reversal of the dase.

Wednesday night the stone wall which sepa- rates the two reservoirs of the Water-works Company gave way, whether by accident or by the malicious designs of miscreants is not known, and the company sustained a loss thereby of about $5,000. Superintendent Hor. ner, fearing that if the accident becaine known to the public it would have 4 tendency to lessen the confidence of the man. ufacturers, did his best to conceal it, and, as A consequence, nothing was known of it until last evening, when some parties who passed the works and saw the wreck came down town and talked it around. The accident will not interfere with the service in the least. No attempt will be made to repair the damage until the water in the reservoir is exhausted, which will be in about two days, and the supply will then be pumped direct from the river while the work of building a new wail is in progress, When the reservoir is drained it will be appar- ent whether the caving in of the wall was an accident or done by malicious parties, for if dynamite was used the concrete bottom will be broken up, and if quicksilver was used it will, of course, be found on the bottom. SUPPOSED TO BE A LOTTERY AGENT. Charles Colburn, a finely dressed young man about 22 years of age, was arrested at the Tast St. Louis Hotel this morning by Officer Stack and locked up atthe Police Station to await the arrival of St. Louis detectives, who, it is said, have been looking for him some time ona serious charge, the nature of which. is not known to the police on this side. On the way to the station Colburn admitted to Officer Stack, so the latter claims, that he was wanted in St. Louis but refused to divulge gu what charge. A reporter saw him shortly after he was locked up, and he claimed to be in perfect ignorance of the reason of his incar- ceration. esaid he had been working for Joseph M. Hayes on Tenth and Washington avenue, St. uls, and about three weeks ago was arrested on a charge of being afre- quenter of houses of ill-fame. When his case was called in court he was given hours to leave town and came over to this side, putting up as the East St. Louis, where he has since re- mained. He said he know of no possi. ble ch which could de brought net him on the other side. Parties on the island, who have watched Colburn's movements since he came to this side, are ln. élined to the opinion that he was employed by some lottery men, as he used to meet a man on the bride avery morning, from whom he received a small sack, the contents of which were unknown, but supposed to be lottery tickets. This morning Thos. Fekete sold the Brackett homestead on Ninth and Ohio avenue to P Wabt for $5,000. Mr. Brackett and his family have moved to their new residence on Rose Hill St. Louis, and did not care to retain’ their property on this side. BEAL ESTATE. „ Thomas A.

FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING | P. u. St. Louls pit traders were badly left this morning, all through their established custom of ‘‘tailing’’ on to Chicago as a guide in in speculation. The first quotation on ay corn posted on the Chicago blackboard was 45%c, or 1%c below tage he hy close. The home market that had been weak enough before that at once broke sharply, reaching 4l%c for May. Thata mistake had been made was soon seen in the postings of other Chicago corn options, which were only %@%c lower and very soon a correction was received to make May corn 46c instead of 45c. The fault la . the Chicazo official reporter there. he St. Louis tele- graph operator received and posted the figures as sent, and could not possibly be blamed. There was some loud and vigorous 8 n among those local traders who deceived into selling at the lower rates, but there was no _ recourse for them, and they had to erin and bear it. Com- plalnt should be made by the Exchange of. clals of this blunder, so that a recurrence of itcould be vented.——Liverpool’s re- ceipts of wheat tor past week, 935,000 bu, only 850,000 bu coming from America.——-There 000 is talk in Chicago of a corner in Septem- ber barley, one operates there controlling he long options for that month.—— hrke, New Y to : sh corn, itis said, is now offered in Live 188 480 lbs., equal to about 504%c One of the * the ates W | May corn quotation did it on pur- in ord er markets for confederates at each point.

W. 8. Bartley had a cable from Bordeaux, France, ‘‘Have not sold and can- not sell tallow.’’ South American tallow is said to be the cause of this, as its offerings are heavy and quality fine.——The heaviest store of the season is now said to be passing | Kansas they at any and Nebraska and coming this way. An estimate ofthe worid’s uirements and supplies during the season of 1887-8, as made up by Sunday & Shepherd, New York, who have agencies and correspondents nearly everywhere, is as follows: Requirements in quarters: 16,000,000(probably only 15,000,000) for the United Kingdom; 2,000, - 000 for France, 2,000,000 for Belgium, Holland and Rhine, 2,000,000 (1,500,000 probably) for Spain and Italy, 2,000, forthe West Indies. China, South America, etc.; 24,000,000 total. Probable available supplies, in quarters: America (3,000,000 Pacific, 12,000,000 Atiantic), 15,000,000; Russia (more probable 7,000,000 as ber harvest; prospects are enormous), 5,000,- 000; Austro-Hungary (after supplying South Germany and South Italy), 1,000,000; River Platte, 1,000,000; Australia and Chili, 1,000,000; India (5,500,000 last * , 8,500,000; Egypt and North Africa, 1,000,000. Total, 27,800,000. This shows a surplus of 8,500,000 quarters, nal to 28,000,000 bushels. heat was dull and weak. Trading was light as there was little speculation, and then chiefly in a scalping way. and the depression in corn, the continued discouraging market cables from Europe and the easy ap- pearance of all the principal markets of this country made the feeling heavy, and traders were inclined to sell than to buy. There aré still quite a number who believe — would do better, as exports continue eavy and demand good otherwise, if the corn market was only more settled and not 80 subjectto its present wild fluctuations, but the fear of abad break in cornanda sym- pathetic decline in wheat holds agood many off from buying. Then there are sevV- eral 65c bears who stand ready to club the market on every soft spot, which tends to put prices down very quickly on these spots. There was more pressure to sell May than any other option and it declined le, the others closin Scene below vesterday. Spot grades were stead- ily maintained and sold freely, millers taking most of the No. 8redand some ot the No. 2, but carriers still the principal buyers. No. 2red, 68%@68%c; No. 8 red, 66@66%4c; No. 4,6le bid for C., St. L., U. and A., 6l%c bid for D.; No.2 Mediterranean, 680 bid; No. 3 do., ue bid for U., 65%c for this side. Corn opened panic onamistake and re- This tells the tale of the early market. The Chicago curb had been reported around 46½% % to e, but the feeling here was weak on the ema | rain of last night and reports of good grains in Illinois and Indiana. Hence the opening was weak and lower and then it broke on the mane error in the May quotations. Before the mis- take was discovered the market was off 1%, such was the fearful hammering it re- ceived from the bears, Harry Slaughter taking the lead and the most conspicuous seller. There was not so much long stuff for sale, but buyers were completely demoralized and stood aghast at the vicious raid made upon the market.The correction of the error knocked the bears out as completely as the break had the bulls, and %c recovery was had in quick time. Subsequently there was a see-saw market for a time, but the feeling was ~ mag & and the traders who had worked y the mistake, angry and sore, were only bidding their time to jumpin and knock prices down again. They got it, too, as Chicago weakened and telegrams advising rains as coming this way from the West were received. Another tumble that carried the market as low as on the first break, May going sc lower, resulted, followed by another reaction, but the close was easy and @@lisc below yesterday. In its late fluctuations this -market followed Chicago altogether. Spot grades were in fairly good demand on order account and considerable No. 2 sold, little else being of- fered.

A few loads were received early and sold to local butchers and r the former paying from $5.20@$5.385, and the latter from . Gs. There was a very fair demand from packers and active buyers, and had the supply proved any ways adequate, a good business would have resuited.

How Mrs. Cleveland Spent a Rainy Day—In- door Enjoyments. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. MARION, Mass., August12.—Two more days of Mrs. Cleveland’s stay at Marion have slipped by with hardly any incidents worth cbronicling. Wednesday was very beauti- ful, and Mrs. Cleveland took advantage of the bright sunshine to take her mother to bathe in the little sheltered cove, and in the afternoon had her drive in the carriage Capt. Hadley placed at her service. Yesterday the sky was overcast and a cold wind was blowing in gusts. This was the first day Mrs. Cleveland has had bad weather since she ‘has been here. She rose at the usual hour and at once decided that she would dispense with ber morning dip in the sea, She, how- ever, did not like the idea of having to give up her drive and watched the weather anxiously. In the morning Miss A. L. Dawes, who has been visiting Mrs. Greely and has been a very close companion of Mrs. Cleveland, went away on the early train for Boston. Mrs. Cleveland was very sorry to have her go, and went to the station to see her off. Mr. Nicker- son called for the party with his double car- riage and away they went, with barely enough time to catch the train. Miss Dawes hurried to the cars, which were already at the sta- tion, and Mrs. Cleveland remained in the car- riage and waved her an adieu. As the train moved off, Miss Dawes raised the window and nodded another good-bye and Mrs. Cleveland sbook her handkerchief 42 Just before the lunch Mrs. Cleveland was at the entrance to the Greely mansion and list. ening eagerly to the predictions of the old salts, who talked learnedly about the pros- pect of a four-days’ rain. Early in the after- noon the sky became heavier and thunder rolled, and then the rain fell in torrents. This settled the drive, and Mrs. Cleveland took out a very dainty little work basket and began to do ar It was said would adorn her room at the White House. That is the way Mrs. Cleveland spent the afternoon. She had accepted an invitation to take tea at the resi- dence of Mrs. Pegrim of Providence, and anxious! watched the weather and contemplated the chances of its clearing up. It was finally decided that it was too stormy to go, as nothing but carriages were available and the distance was far, when Mr. Nickerson called to see Gen. Greely and solved the difficulty by putting at Mrs. Cleve- land’s por = his closed coupe. The regrets that Mrs Cleveland had already written were destroyed and preparations were made to go. At a little before 6 o’clock Mr. Nick- erson drove up and Mrs. Cleveland, Miss Welsh, Gen. and Mrs. Greely and R. H. Gilder and wife were soon at Mrs. Pegrim’s residence. Beside these Mr. and Mrs.William Bradford and daughter of Fair Haven were present and a very pleasant evening was spent. Mrs. Folsom is visiting friends in Charieston, where young Mr. armon, Mrs. Cleveland's uncle, resides. Mrs. Folsom will return to Marion to-day. The party expect to leave for Washington Tuesday. So farno signs of the President’s coming have been observed and itis thought that he does not intend to visit Marion at all. WEARERS OF SPECTACLES. Our opticians are patient and pleasant.

An interesting budget of letters is given to-day. An Irishman’s View ef It. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch If the fair Dorothea will take a little bit of advice from A Son of the Ould Sod“ in re- gard to the pleasing ‘*devarshion’’ of kissing, I would disabuse her mind of the idea that there is anything sinful about it, If her heart’s true A den — lingers around her dear Charlie and is worthily reciprocated by that young man, she may certainly allow him without any impropriety to give outward expression to his inmost feelings in an affectionate kiss; it can- not certainly lower her in his estimation, nor will it in that of any true-minded man. Away with those puritanical ideas that a man must abstain from kissing his sweetheart; the thing is impossible if be really loves her. From the good advice received Dorothea has doubtless by this time made up her mind what to do in the matter, but as the subject needs illustration I trust tharlie will be equal to the occasion and satisfy her doubts in the matter. Yours, etc., Jno. I. 8. Fix Rim So He Cannot Skip. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Only one short year ago, my dear Dorothea, my position coincided exactly with your own. I, too, was a girl, and had been engaged just a month, and to-day, should I turn to a certain page in my diary, I may read the date and hour of my ‘‘Chariie’s’’ proposal. The vows which we exchanged to be true to each other ‘‘forever and aye’’ seemed binding. But, now I am a woman, and that engagement „ thing of the past, I shall not speak of the misunderstandings which arose and the separations that followed; enough to say „Charlie“ and I now meet as strangers, and all on account of ‘‘trifies light as air. How- ever, I still look upon the divine passion as the sweetest boon on earth. I do not believe that God ever designed love to be the light, flip- pant thing that man has made it, but rather a consolation and religion to the hearts which it binds, and, my dear Dorothea, let your own conscience be the guide of Charlie's conduct and yours. Presuming your lover to be the true, noble fellow whom you have pictured, I see no crime in permitting him to reas your lips in a chaste salute once or twice — he goes, but remember, dear Dorothea, we must be moderate in all things. And should your Charlie press his suit aud name an early day, why, give him your heart and hand, and thus put an end to your maidenly trials and tribulations. Your sympathetic friend, * Her Heart and Lips Consented. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: I arrived in this city on the 3d of the present month and have been a constant reader of your valuable paper, and must say that I never heard so much about kissing in all my life. I would like much to know the address of that much-spoken-of Charlie: think I could give him advice both interesting and bene- ficial. As to Miss Dorothea I would advise her to withdraw from the matrimonial field. If her heart is not large enough to dictate whether she should or shonid not kiss him N J don’t think she has any more right to be engaged or becomea wife than a mole on top of a house. I _ kissed the girl that I’m engaged to before asking her consent and before we were engaged, and don’t think any the less of her for allowing metodo so. Of course I had been with her long enough, andsbe being possessed with good common sense, to know that my inten- tions were honorable. I have kissed her many times since and the kisses are just as sweet as ever. I had rather have one of her kisses to-day than to have the privfliege of kissing all the sweet and pretty girls in all St. Louis. Certainly if they are all like Miss Dorothea. I sincerely hope they are not. AN ADMIRER OF YOUR CITY. St. Louis, August 10, 1887. The First Kiss of Love. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I have been reading the advices to Dorothea, and will give her through your valuable col- umps a little of my own experience, trusting she may profit thereby. I am a married lady, and now,I suppose half the interest in my letter is lost already, but nevertheless, when I was a girl Ihad a score of beaux and half as many lovers; now of course I was kissed, but not so often as you may suppose. My actions were always hands of, and my husband told me just after marriage that he had known girls with whom he couid have been more familiar after a month’s ao- quaintance than he could with me after hav- ing visited me for a year, and I loved him, too, with my whole heart, and showed him my affection by sympathy and by a thousand little acts with which all, or most, women are familiar; but Ineverthoughtof kissing him and never dreamed that he thought of kissing me, consequentiy I was greatly surprised one evening as be was taking his leave and bid- ding me good-bye, he leaned over (as he is the taller) and said, witha tremor in his voice, Lulu, give me one kiss before 180. My head drooped, butI could not speak. Now, Dorothea, you may suppose what followed. But I never told about that kiss before and should notnowif you knew me. It was. too sacred, too holy. And nowlclaim that such kisses as those are proper between engaged couples. Yes, kiss Charlie if those are the kind of kisses he offers, but beware of the sensuous kiss, and any virtuous woman can tell the difference. I have been married now nearly four years and my husband often tells me that he thinks more of meon account of m self-respect before marriage, and I am sure think more of myself. jut, Dorothea, if Charlie seeks too many kisses put him off oc- casionally with alittle gesture and say, ‘‘Wait, darling, until we are married, and then ali that Jam and can become for your sake are yours to possess, but until then let us not be too demonstrative of our affections,’’ and if he does not think more of you for it I will bear the blame, and you will both feel better for the abstinence when you go into your respect- ive families than if you went in with a tell-tale look on your face, and he with an air of ‘‘I dont care if I did kiss her. she wanted me to; and perhaps a spot of white powder on his shoulder—but Iam occupying too much space.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Isee by my Posr-Disrarc that this oscu- latory theme has got to end. Well, please let me add my mite of advice to perplexed Dorothea. Now lam a young man of thirty-two, nearly, and I believe, with the poet, that a kiss is „Linked sweetness lo drawn out,’’ and thereforé acceptable to the vast majority of osculatory palates. Now, Dorothea, I bave „been there,’’ from a masculine standpoint, and am still there—eng —and we, R-—— an I kiss each other in our hallowed tete-a-tetes of impurity or indiscretion ever mar our mu- tual happiness. Now, Dorothea kiss Charlie and return his kisses with warmth and gentle- ness. Do not be too fast nor too slow. As R. says, ‘‘goinacanter.’’ Bury your little head on his broad, manly and worthy shoulders and exchange caresses and endearments, and my word for it, Charlie will be the purer, bet- — pone man and more wastey of that riceless, peerless gem, woman s love. . ee H. J. PITTs¥FIgELD. St. Louis, August II, 1887. No Question About It. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: DEAR SrR—I do not know Miss Dorothea, but Iam ot the opinion that Charlie should kiss her at once. The sooner the kiss is given the better for both of them. Yes, and Doro- thea hasa perfect right to kiss Charlie, and pee only the right, but itis her duty to kiss m. Show me a man and a woman who are engaged to de married who do not think it prudent for them to kiss each other, at the proper time, and I will show you a couple that should break their engagement at once. ,lam surprised at Dorothea for asking the uestion, for it really seems self-evident to we that all, both old and young, should seal their engagement with a kiss. Can a true man pay a greater compliment to a good woman than to ask her to become his wife, and if she answers yes, has she not fully returned the compliment? ADVISER. Conway, Ark., August 11, 1887. Girls Were Made to Kiss. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: I have read with interest the numerable con- tributions of the kissing question, have dis- cussed it with my numerous young lady and gentlemen friends, and can come to but one conclusion. Suppose a young man who was engaged, and whose marriage was near at hand, shouid ask his intended for a kiss or to kiss him and she should decline, would he not think that she did not love him? that she was marrying because she could not get some one else, or for money, or some other reason? Girls were made to kiss, and are kigsed from the time of their birth. I should advise Dorothea to allow Charlie to kiss her, and to kiss him occasionally, but don’t hug him. ARTHUR. August II, 1887. A Base Ball Crank’s View. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: If Dorothea has not yet had enough counsel from wise fogies, spinsters and bachelors, then I, an humble 18-year-old, deeply inter- ested in this new game, would like to have my little say. Now the giris will all acknowledge that kissing does not produce any pbysical pain (like that of being hitin the mouth by a foul tip). It’s what | call the im- propriety of the thing that they kick like Anson about. On this point one can only venture his personal opinion, and mine differs as much from that of the Spinster and Fogy as an umpire’s decision differs from that of the crowd when given against the hometeam. If the girl had not confidence enough in her fiancee to trust him with all she possesses,then she shoulda never have accepted him. The kissing period does not last forever, and it is sweetest when two hearts have just found each other out, not when —2 are married and have the serious phase of life to contemplate. I propose to capture and tame my bride just like our own Dr. Bushong did with Catcher Boyle. CowBor. St. Louis, August 8. TAX-PAYERS, ATTENTION !

Ls J WHITNEY’S LETTER. THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY CRITICISED BY CANADIANS. His Letter to Admiral Luce Made the Sub- ject of Abuse— Admiral Luce’s Motive Commended—Much Ado About Nothing —Report That the Admiral is to Be Re- lieved Denied. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. HaLiFax, Nova Scotia, August 12.—The man- her in which Canadians regard the publication of Secretary Whitney’s telegram to Admiral Luce, snubbing that officer for what he has done in the fishery troubles, is plainly ex- pressed in a statement made in the Halifax Chronicle, which reads as follows: In the correspondence between Admiral Luce and Mr. Secretary Whitney, just pub- lished, the latter official makes a very poor showing. The whole tone of his reply to Ad- miral Luce’s dispatch, inclosing the result of his correspondence with Capt. Scott, is de- cidedly low and unbecoming the high official position he holds. The touch about Capt. Scott not being understood to be the agent of this Government for any such purpose as that for which he employed him, re- minds one irresistibly of the withering sar- casm of a police court shyster. If Mr. Secre- tary Whitney had been at alittle more pains to read over the questions put by Admiral Luce and Capt. Scott’s replies, anda little less in haste to penand hand to the newspapers a dispatch seasoned to suit the taste of the Yan- kee blatherskite papers, he would have seen that the information asked for and obtained could by no possibility have been obtained from our Own Government. What Admiral Luce wanted to nd out was exactly the prac- tical information which every Yankee fisher- man who wanted to keep out of harm’s way WOULD WANT TO KNOW. Every Yankee fisherman who comes across one of our cruisers asks such questions for himself. It may be that the Canadian claims and our interpretation of their treaty are all wrong. Admiral Luce has nothing to do with tnat. That was a matter for diplomatists at Washington and Ottawa and London. What he was sent down into these waters for (pre- sumably) was to look after the interest of the Yankee fishing fleet. To obtain from the officer in command of the protecting fleet a concise statement of the details of the manner in which the protecting fleet could act and distribute the information among the Amer- ican fishing fleet, so as to let them know how they might expect to be treated, is exactly what we would suppose any officer in Admiral Luce’s position would do. The real harm is that Admiral Luce made a eet mistake in supposing the Government at fashington 1 arow of pins about looking after the Yankee fisherman, and that he was expected to do his duty as a careful naval officer should doit. The fishery ques- tion in the States is purely a political one, and all the Cabinet care about it is to work it 80 as to secure as large a vote as possible out of the 12 — New England fish thieves and the blatherskite element generally. What Admiral Luce should have done, if he wished to find favor in the eyes of r. Secret Whitney and his kind, was to have come down here with the airs of a stage pirate or buccaneer. He should never have tied up his flagship toa buoy — . to the British Government or exchanged so much as a civil word with anyof her minions. He should have issued SOME SORT OF A PROCLAMATION, coming as near as possible to a proclamation ot war. If he could have managed to pick a quarrel with the British authorities, and been ordered out of the harbor, and gone out after sending his men to 9 etting his ships ready for action an — going through all the absurd stage antics he could then think of, his glory would be complete. He would have been the popular hero of the hour through the length and breadth of the Union. The Government at Washington could have — with pride to her actſons as proof un- oubtable tothe energetic manner in which they were protecting the interest of Ameri- can citizens.
