C.—Several Cars Smashed and the Building Wrecked —The Injured—Investigating the Chats- worth Disaster—The Jury Divided as to the Responsibility—Struck by Lightning— Fatal Injuries. WASHINGTON, D.C., August17.—The few res- idents inthe neighborhood of the Baltimore & Ohio ‘‘Y’’ who were up and on the street at 6:80 o'clock this morning witnessed a singu- lar and startling scene. It was no less a spec- tacle than that of a train of cars leaping from the track and rushing with the speed of lightning and the crash of a thunderbolt through a brick house. In an instant the train and the house were in a heap of ruins, and the track for some distance was littered with debris. The train to which the accident oc- curred was train No. 4, the St. Louis, Chicago & Cincinnati express, and coming from the west. About 6:30 o’clock itcame thundering into the city over the Metropolitan Branch, and at the curve, nearly a milo away from the „, began WHISTLING ‘‘DOWN BRAKES.’’ For some reason the brakes were not put down. The air-brakes, it was stated, did not work, and the engineer began blowing his dis- tress whistle forthe brakemen to put on the regular brakes. Hither the brakemen did not heed the signal, or it was not given in time to be of use, for the train, flying at a frightful rate, came thundering on toward the sharp curve at the 1. On the south side of the ' in the little corner made by the intersec- tion of the tracks was located the railroad sig- nal tower, a brick structure, three stories high, where railroad men are employed to regulate the signals and the switches at the . When the train turned the sharp curve of the ‘‘Y’’ with fearful headway, the cars behind the engine * FLEW THE TRACK and smasked into the signal tower, and in an instant there was a wreck, which for confu- sion has seldom been equaled in railroad an- nals. The engine was dragged from the track, and ploughing through the dirt and mud a distamce of 150 feet, rolled completely over. Near the engine lay Hamilton Brosius, the en- gineer, crushed and dying, and his fireman with several bones broken. But behind the en- gine was a scene of panic and confusion. One car was crushed and nearly bnried under the tracks and timbers of the demolished building. Two sleeping-coaches and one pas- senger-coach remained on the track. The mail-car, the express-car and the baggage-car were rolled over and the sides were crushed. The roof of one car protruded from the ruins ofthe building. The disaster, of course, CREATED INTENSE EXCITEMENT. A fire alarm was sounded, which quickly brought the Fire Department and the police to the scene. Ambulances were hurriedly sent for, andacorps of physicians came, summoned from every direction. Firemen, policemen, railroad men citizens went to work with coats off to clear out the debris. Many injured passengers were removed and taken to neighboring houses or drug stores or to hospitals. In this way eighteen or twenty people were got out of the wreck, some of them only slightly injured, others with bones broken, and bodies badly bruised and cut. On the signal tower, on the upper floor or observatory, William Baxter, a railroad signal man, was at work. He realized the impending dangerin time and leaped from the tower tothe ground. He broke his arm in the fall, and was badly used up, but seems to have escaped more serious injuries. THE INJURED. : Mr. and Mrs. Wiiliam Benson, an elderly couple from Winchester, Ind., were badly bruised. There were three railway mall service clerks—Messrs. C. H. Hooton, L. O0. Morrell and J. H. Brown—in the postal car at the time of the accident, and although the car was nearly de- molished the men escaped with bad bruises and scratches. Hooton and Morrell live in Baltimore. Mrs. Augusta Barnes, a lady on her wayto her home in Germany, had her head badly cut. She haa considerable money and her tickets to New York and Germany. She was removed to Providence Hospital.

He testified that he had inspected the truin as it pulled out of Peoria and found 1 right. He stated in answer toa question that he considered a train of fifteen passenger coaches safe. He saidthaton ex- amining the locality of the wreck he found that the grass in the right of way at that point had been burned, but not closer than fifteen feet to the track. „H. Markley, master of bridges and build- ings, testified thathe had found the bridge in ood condition at his last examination. When. e saw it after the wreck it was almost com- pletely destroyed. Roadmaster C. Ennis, who had received one of the orders referred to by Superintendent Armstrong, in his evidence swore that he had gone over the road in obedience to his orders on Wednesday afternoon, but did not get off of the freight train to make any closer examina- tion. e did not testify positively concerning the condition of the Chatsworth bridge, though he believed he had seen it. He de- scribed scenes of D and stated that it was his belief that the bridge had been fired intentionally, as he did not believe the fire could have been caused by sparks from an engine. The tall grass had been burned away about three weeks previous to the disaster. OTHER WITNESSES were examined, but brought no new facts to light. At Peoria, Chatsworth and Piper City the wounded are being cared far. No deaths occurred yesterday though Collector Forbes, Miss Pearl Adams, Mr. Abraham and Mrs. Walters are not yet out of danger.

Assembly of Delegates at Syracuse, N. ¥.— No Socialists Wanted. — SYRACUSE, N. T., August 17.—The clans of United Labor are gathering in great force. I8 is believed that the socialistic element will be excluded. It is found that many of the del- egates are in favor of putting Henry George at the head of the State ticket. John McMackin figures very largely here. One of the cor- respondents, on hand to record the doings of the convention, had a talk with McMackin lass night. He was asked particularly as to the action that would probably be taken on the application of the Socialists for admission to the convention. Everybody with credentials will de ad- mitted,’’ said McMackin, ‘‘except where there is a contest.’’ Will the Socialists be admitted?“ hewas asked, ana he replied significantly; Woll, the Socialists are nearly all from con- tested districts. Nobody will be admitted until the committee on contested seats has acted,’’ and he added alittle later, We pro- pose to have purely an American party, on clear-cut American principles, without Socialism or any other uncongenial element. Our platform, in the main, will be the Claren- don Hall platform, part of which was re- ee r peaking of the purposes of the Mr. McMackin said: ‘‘We propose 9 State ticket this fall. and while a good many people, even among ourselves, do not expect hat we will elect it, you must remember very few people expected that we should come so near to coming the Mayor of New York, as we did last fall. Personally I did not look for more than 25,000 votes, but we got 68, 000. I don’t propose to prophesy as to the result this fall, but I will say to youl look fora very lar . and it is not at all impossible for us to win. I you don’t win the result will be — to defeat the Democratic ticket, will it not?“ Well, to be sure. In New York City we draw the bulk of our votes from the Democ- racy, but you would be surprised to learn how many Republicans are joining our ranks throughout the State. I tell you, my dear sir, this a growing movement, not only in New York but throughout all the States. Do you propose to run a Presidential can- didate next year?’’ Ne most decidedly do.“ By doing so will you not simply defeat Mr. 22 assuming that he will be the candi- ate?’ „Oh, Cleveland be dlessed, and Mo- Mackin hesitated a moment before the last word. We certainly will defeat Mr. Cleve- land, and there is every reason why we should. He has never been a friend of the working- men, and they know it.’’ THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Delegations to the United Labor State Con- vention arrived during last night and this morning. Henry George, Dr. McGlynn, John McMackin and other leaders are at headquarters at Empire House, where the State ecutive Committee were in session all forenoon. George, McGlynn and Me- Mackin were in constant consultation with the committee which was en ed in lay- ing out work for the convention.The Executive Committee made up the list of members of t convention, recognizing in all cases regularly chosen United Labor delegates, and exciud- ing Socialist delegates. The contestants are to be allowed to present their claims in open convention, when they will be refe to Committee on Credentials. The Executive Committee holds that mem- bers of any other pee ree are ineligible to membership in the Unit Labor convention. TRAMPS AND PIRATES. A committee from the Union Labor Conven- tion headed by John J. Junio, with nearly a full membership, met this forenoon and - ared for making overtures to the Un bor Convention. They — — if recog- jnized on terms of equality, to with - draw their State et and unite upon a combination ticket. They adhere ta the terms of bor convention none but members of that 0 without other affiliations, shail be recognized, and-that the Union Labor party be not recognized or affiliated with. This rule excludes distinctive Socialist dele- ations, as well as the Union La- or confrere. Mr. McMackin last night denounced the Union Labor party as ‘‘tramps and pirates, and this expression created much feeling in Junio’s committee, who retort that New York City delegations in to-day’s convention are nearly all members of Tammany Hall, and are taking care of the aspirations of candidates for 1 lative offices. Bitter feeling is manifested between the two parties. The Union Labor party representatives give up hope of recognition or compromise. ey sent overtures to which no responses were returned. The convention assembled at 1:45 m. Henry George, Dr. McGlynn, John Mo- ackin and Louis Post came into the hall at the head of a body of delegates and were h applauded.

To-day Dr. Paul Paquin presented to Health Commissioner Dudley a report on his investi- gations into the cases of Texas fever which developed recently in dairies in the southern part of the city. A fact of consider- able importance to cattle-owners is re- ported, namely, that there is no dan- ger of contagion among native stock. Dr. Paquin mentioned this fact after his investigation of the Wessler dairy, and atthe request of the Health Commissioner embodied the results in a written report in which he suggests the great necessity of en- acting ordinances to facilitate the inspection of stock and milk. His reportisas follows: Dr. Dudley, President St. Louis Board of Health. DEAR Sir@According to your request I made an official inspection of the diseased cattie at Mr. Herman Held’s d establishment in Carondelet. The animals uestion are suf - fering from the so-called fever, an anthracis disease sometimes termed splenetic fever, which has been brought about by Texag or other roreign cattle from Southern States. In my official capacity I could order the in- speared stock guaran lease bear in mind that native cattle suffer- fag from Texas fever do not give the disease oreign cattle among them. the re- ‘ gponsible Texas or foreign cattle are con- cerned they are not now on the pastures or roads where they disseminate the germs, so they cannot be reached. Thus in this case I cannot help you official- ly. So far as the people of 8t. Louis are con- cerned with the dairies, it seems to me very singular that no steps are taken to protect them fromthe dan of dri milk or eating meat from d dstock. Cannot any adequate city law be passed? I should judge that nothing short of One or more city abat- toirs for the use of butchers and country dairies 1 mean outside of the city) for milk producers all carefully inspected by men competent to udge of annimal diseases) could place the citizens of St. Louis on a safe basis regarding infections and deadly maladies brought about by filth, diseased meetand milk and obnox- jous fermentations resulting therefrom.

Special Session Legislation. Mayor Francis has not yet issued his call for aspecial session of the Municipal Assembly for the approval of contracts. He was asked to-day when the session will be heid, and stated that the call will be issued in a few days. Concerning the porevemse to cail the attention of the Assembly at its special session to the necessity of considering the extension of the water-works system he said he doubted the advisability of giving the question to the Assembly at a special session, when some difficulty will be experienced in getting to- gether enough members to transact the busi- ness, which must be disposed of before the He has been in favor of a transfer of bill to ap examine the the extension fell through, and su uently Water-Commissioner Holman, with the in- dorsement of the Mayor and the Board of Public Improvements, prepared a bill appro- priating $100,000 for the purchase of 3 at the Chain of Rocks for the low service No action has. been it is doubtful if in this shape. finally go — It cannot come up for consideration before November unless it is. included in the Mayor’s call.

Forty of the Sneriff’s men at Glenwood Springs deserted him, leaving him only fifteen. The Utes are coming up from the reservation, and Augustine’s band is reported on the road from — . Creek.

C., August 17.—A tele- gram was received at the War Department this morning from Gen. Terry, stating that the Governor of Colorado had requested Gen. Crook to assist the civil authorities in serving a process upon the Ute bucks who had been indicted by a Grand-jury. Gen. Terry asked for instructions for the guidance of bimself and Gen. Crook in the matter. A telegram was sent inreply directing him to hoid troops in readiness to move ata mo- ment’s notice in case of necessity. The War Department has received no official informa- tion of the reported 1 between Colo- row’s band and the Sheriff's posse, and the military authorities do not feel authorized to order troops to assist the civil authori- ties in their efforts to arrest the indicted Indians. In the event of the defeat of the ese and Colorow’s taking tu the war path, en. Crook, who is near at hand, has full au- thority to take any needful action to protect the people. In view of the absence of any of- ficial information of an outbreak, however, the War Department officials are disposed to characterize some of the reports received as exaggerations. A REMAREABLE DAY. The Temperature Nearly Stationary—But 5 Degs. Range Between Morning and Noon. Nothing could show thatthe backbone of the hot wave is broken so well as the differ- ence between the morning and afternoon readings,’’ said Observer Chappel this afternoon at 8 o’clock. This difference we call the range of temperature. Well, the range to-day has been but 5 degrees; or that it was 75 degrees at 6 a. m. to-day, and but 80 up to 2 p. m. This is the smallest range known here for a long time. Considering the fact that on the recent hot days the mercu used to startat75andjump up to 94 and 9% shows how near! stationary the temp ture is. ut the humidity is very much higher than usual. Yesterday it was very high, Slat s a. m., and .58 at 2p. m., but 1 it was 82 at 6and 75 . showing bow little change is made by the noonday heat.’’ The rain last night amounted to .16 of an inch.

Baggagemaster Ed R. Miller, whois stationed at the Iron Mountain Depot, Fourth and Chouteau avenue, had a great scare this morning about 8:30 o’clock, which he said took away two years of his growth. He was sittin in the baggage office busily en- ag making ou some checks when e heard some one yell ‘‘Mad . As he was a very small man, he was compelled to stand on a chair to look out of the window to catch a glimpse of the dog. No sooner had he gained eis position on the chair when a huge, black-looking animal gave a bound through the windowe which was open, and lit uarely on Miller’s head, toppling Miiler ebair and all on the floor. The brute made a bee-line up the railroad track near some freight cars, where it was lost sight of. The animal was followed by a crowd of men and boys with clubs and stones of various sizes. No one was bitten by the animal altheugh it caused great consternation about the depot. McDonough’s Return. James McDonough, ex-Chief of Police, ar- rived here last evening from Caldwell, Kan.

From the Boston Globe. „Galignani's Messenger“ isa familiar name everywhere, and some account of the family will prove of interest, as par- ticulars regarding the inception of great enterprises and the beginnings of great men aware are. The extinction of this family should not pass unnoticed. Charles, the founder, born at Brescia in 1757, is said to have been a i book- seller in London; to have married a Londoner, A. S. Parsons, and to have had two sons—John Anthony, born 1796, and William, born 1798. In 1799 Parsons and — — (the wife’s name was put first) lived by the riverside in Paris, and adver- tised 1 istic breakfasts and teas for conversation in English and Italian. The dea was apparently borrowed from one Daix, who in 1793 had an English dinner and tea table, which, in the following year, for obvious political reasons, he styled American, instead of English. m giving lessons—for Italian there seems to have been no demand—and tak- ing a young man lodger, Galignani and his wife went on tosupplying English books and starting a circulating library. About 1800 they removed to the Rue Vivienne, probably gave up lessons, ex- tended their library and bookselling, and in 1804 published a monthly volume of se- lections entitled “Repertory of English Lit- erature.” Removing tothe Rue de Rivoli they in 1814 started “Galignani’s Messen- ger,” which, on Charles’ death in 1821, was continued by the sons. It became more widely known on the continent than the London papers from which its matter was mostly borrowed, and the Galignani reprints of English books in the pre-Oopy- right days, were scattered far and wide, while the Rue de Rivoli shop was a house of call for authors visiting Paris. In 1886 the English Government present- ed the brothers with a silver salver in recognition of their promotion of British- Parisian charities and of their erection and maintenance ofa British hospital at Neuilly. This building was ultimately 113 to Miss Leigh for an orphanage. ohn Anthony died in 1873 and William in 1882, leaving no issue but a large fortune mainly acquired by building speculations. William made some munificent charitable bequests. One of his residuary legatees his wife’s nephew in Jeancour, has added ya — to his name, but the Italo- English family is extinct. Bold Attempt at Abduction. From the Detroit Tribune. Clara Grosclaude is the 16-year-old daughter of a life insurance agent whose residence is 910 Lafayette street. Clara is employed as a clerk in a laundry at 13 Jefferson avenue, and being bright and not bad looking, has been the subject of ad- miration on the part ofsome of the laundry male customers. The girl worked late last night, and after leaving the shop walked with some friends to the corner of Fort and Griswold streets, where she = with them a few minutes be- ore 11 and stood there waiting for the car to take her home. It was late, and after waiting a few minutes Clara started to walk on, expecting to be over- taken by the car. She h gone about a block when a man in a buggy drove u behind her, called to her by name and tol herto getin. She though it was some one she knew whowas going to take her home. She got in and immediately discovered the man was, a stranger. She explained her mistake and asked to get out, but he drove rapidly up Brush street, away from —— oo = — n then umped from the buggy. As e bug turned up Brush she had — bh hack standing on the corner with the driver on the box. AS the buggy passed the hackman whipped np his team and followed. Miss Grosclaude sprang from the buggy ;this hack was close behind and instantly stopped, while two men in the hack threw open the door and seized the girl, dragging her into the hack, which then proceeded ata swift ace up the street, the man in the buggy ollowing. Miss Grosclaude now began to scream. She was seated between the two men, and one held her while the other put his hand over her mouth. Both men simultaneously shouted to the driver to go faster. Hah a strap- ping iron-worker, was going up the street towards his home. e heard the irl’s cries andran out into the street. he driver struck at him with his whip as the hack apqventnes. but Hahn dexter- ously caught on behind. He thrust his arm through the rear window and grasped the collar of one of the men inside, and then shouted for assistance. The driver turned on the box and struck Hahn sav- agely on the head with the butt of his whip, but the ironworker hung on. See- ing Hahn could not be dislodged in that way, the hack was finally stopped and the driver got down and went behind with a revolver, threatening Hahn’s life if he did not get down. ahn then dropped to the ground, but before the driver could regain his box Hahn wrenched open the door of the vehicleand snatched Miss Grosqjaude out. She fell in a faint on the avement, and, the neighborhood now being aroused and people hurrying to the scene, the hack with the man drove off. The man in the buggy had previously dis- appeared. Miss Grosclaude was taken to the Central Police Station, where this story of her attempted abduction was re- lated. The girl thinks she must be the victim of mistaken identity. The police say it is the most*singular story they have ever been called upon to ferret out. England’s Army Expenses. From the London Truth. ‘ Our army is a disgrace to the financial good sense of the country. The effective force of the German army costs 419, 369. 000; the effective force of our army costs £14,600,000. For her expenditure Ger- mony gets nineteen corps d’armee of 37. each. Says Gen. Brackenbury: We should hardly be able to put into the field one corps d’armee of 30,000 men.” It is true that the German is a conscript army. A German soldier gets 4d per diem, an English soldier gets Is 2d per diem. But even if full allowance be made for this, the cost of the two armiesis in proportion to their numerical strength as two is to one. Salvias.

Grant was rarely known to smile and the occasions were few indeed when his dignity so far broke down as to permit him to laugh outright—though he was far from being devoid of a relish for a good story or joke. There was one time in his life, however, when he indulged in a roar of laughter that might have been heard for a quarter of a mile. It was while he was filling the Presidential chair and made his trip to Des Moines, Io., and deliver the famous speech on education—the first time it was discov- ered that he really could make a good speech. He had been in St. Louis and road into Iowa. He passed through the littie town of Bloomfield, twelve miles from the Missouri line, at 9 o’clock at night. A crowd had assembled, conspio- uous among them being the village toper, who always filled up on great occasions, and had therefore risen to the emergency and was in a condition on the arrival of the Presidential party to hobnob with a king. The train halted at the station for several minutes, and in response to cheers President Grant appeared on the plat- form and lifted his hat in stiff, schoolbo fashion. The old toper looked at him wit blinking eyes, an then deliberately olambered up on the platform, steadied himself by the railing, and deliberately thrust his face close to the sphinx-like countenance before him. There was a dead silence, the audacity of the act caus- ing the townspeople. to stare in dumb amazement, while the few persons sur- rounding Grant were equally astounded. For a moment the drunken man swayed and stared, and then said: Ish zis Presh’dunt Grant?” The features of the hero of Appomattox relaxed a little as he nodded affirmatively. Come, now, hones’, pardner, per- sisted the toper. Shay, ol’ man, y’ ain't tryin’ to fool a feller, are you!“ The scene was cut short by the Town Marshal reaching | and yanking the in- truder to the groun but it had such an — pcan unny side that the silent man“ burst in to a hearty A = in which those around him join as the train moved away. He Saw the Devil. One manin this country is hourly ex- pecting the destruction of the world, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. His name is Franz Kelner, and he lives in Allentown. Franz is a man of more than ordinary in- telligence and has been employed for more than a quarter of a century in working about breweries, at —— and in any other kind of labor that woul enable him to sustain the large number of children he has. His story, as told in the presence of at least twenty other reputable persons, is one of the strangest on record. About a — ago he was employed in leveling off he estate of a man named Barshlager, in West Liberty. On a bright summer morh- ing he went out torake a section of this —— He worked — 871 according to is own testomony, until 9 o’clock in the morning. At that hour, when he was fix- ing up a pile of fallen rails, he was startled 4 a sulphurous smell and the appearance of an individual he had not known before. Mr. Kelner’s description of this individ- ual is better than the statement of any chronicler. Said he: “I was working peacefully away when the apparition came. It was first clothed in flames of a color unknown tome. Outof these came a voice saying to me: ‘Franz, follow me.’ When in my stupified condition I made no endeavor to carry his request into effect a change came over the individual. All supernatural evidences vanished, and for moments it revealed itself to me as being perfectly natural. It could not, however, rid itself of the disagreeable smell which had first unnerved me. hen I ap- roached closer I found that this emanated rom one of the feet and head of the inde- finable thing. Upon closer scrutiny I ascertained that though its garments va- ried with the moment they disappeared at the apex and extremity mentioned. was induced by this fact to almost come in contact with the thing, and learned that however zealous was the endeavor of the spirit his — was consumed at one foot and at the head by fire. As often as this occurred a cloven foot and horns were disclosed. In desperation I asked him what he wanted of me. He re- plied: ‘Thy soul,’ extending while doing so a hand, the palm of which was nearly filled with gold. | “In anguish I cried out, ‘Are you the devil?’ and he answered, ‘Yes.’ Dropping on my knees I prayed to heaven for him to depart. When I finished my appeal he said: ‘I will go if ros promise to meet me again.’ Rather than endure his presence I gave my consent, asking him when he would come again. He replied: ‘Soon, and to tell you that the world will be de- stroyed.’ e thought to embrace me as he uttered these words. I fied and fell prostrate at least two miles outside of the woods. Since that time the demon has haunted me, and I believe he will come again.’’ he men employed at Nussen’s malt hovse, on the Brownsville rord, say that Mr. Kelner has told them of this dailv for the past year, and warned them to make feady for the final destruction of the earth. Oe of them told a reporter that Mr. Kelner had induced him to go out one night and dig for gold, saying that a spirit had come to him and told him where the potent stuff could be found. All night they labored, the person in question being the first to give up, saying that ‘ashes were more numerous than nuggets of wealth. When be er questioned by the reporter as to whether he actually underwent the experiences related, Mr. Kelner said, ‘‘I will raise three fingers to heaven and swearitistrue. Imarked the day and date of the appearance of his Satanic Majesty on one of the trees in the wood in which he appeared to me. I am expecting him every hour, and am pre- ared to ward off his approach by things own to myself, but not to be revealed.” The Queen’s Hot Weather Ways. From the London World. ring the recent hot weather the Queen has passed the greater part of each day in the open air. At Windsor her Majesty drove every morning at 9 o’clock to Frog- ny carriage, and breakfasted more in a Afterward there in a tent on the lawn. the Queen went to another tent, and there read the newspapers and her letters, and transacted the whole of the day’s work before driving back to the castle to luncheon. The Cabinet boxes and all dispatches were sent to Frogmore for the Queen to deal with them, and two mounted grooms were employed in con- veyin communications between her Ma esty at Frogmore and Sir He Pon- sonby in his room at the castle, so that all business, both 22 and private, was got rid of by 1:80. e same system is followed at Osborne, where the Queen breakfasts and works on hot daysin tents which are placed under the trees near the terrace.

But Senator STANFORD may soon have a chance to eclipse the whole gang in this sort of emu- lation. 11 Tun promptness with which Father CURRAN has obeyed orders in cutting loose from MOCGLYNN shows where the Cath- olics, priests and people, will be found in any question on which the Church pro- nounces officially. It is safe to say that by next Easter the Anti-Poverty Army of HENRY GrorGe will not muster a single Catholic in ite ranks. EE | Whitt Senator Stanrorp thinks that the Pacific Railroad Commission has been “ungentlemanly” in asking questions, the convicted boodlers of Chicago think that the people who effected their oon - viction failed to observe the usual re- quirements of civility and good breeding in performing the job. Our law-breakers are getting to be a very fastidious set. Tun decadence of sectionalism is mani- fest in the lessened vehemence of partisan lying about the negro vote. For instance, bas been the habit of some papers to voted the Democratio ticket did so at the muzzle of a shotgun; but now some of these papers admit that some negroes are Democrats by untrammeled choice. Last year the Globe-Democrat made the em- phatic statement that a negro had no right to vote the Democratic ticket; and the same paper makes a substantial re- traction of the statement in an editorial, published to-day, entitled The Negro in Politics.’? Verily, the times change and Neat Dow and Sr. Jop are both pre- paring for active campeign work in the interest of Prohibition, and a Republican paper, in noting the fact, says that Dow belongs to the class who ‘ ‘are in the move- ment because they sincerely believe it will assist in bringing about the moral or material advancement of their fellow be- ings;“ and that Sr. Joun belongs to the class who “are in it for the money, reputation, or social position—but prin- cipally the money-that it will bring them.” Now why this mighty difference betwixt tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee? NAL Dow and Sr. Jom are both laboring in the same way for the same thing; and there is no more reason for accusing one of mercenary motives than the other. After the Presidential election of 1884, some Republicans, in the blind agony of rage and disappointment, declared that ocrats, but no proof was ever adduced to sustain the charge. There is no good rea- son for believing that he is better or worse than the average reformer of the determined and energetic sort. NEAL Dow is now 84 years old, and of course there remains to him but a-short season of work; while Sr. Joun is in his mental and physical prime, with a good oppor- tunity before him to do a great deal for his party, and to work a corresponding injury to the Republican organization. There is this difference between the cases of the two men; and herein lies the milk in the cocoanut, when Republicans begin te extol Neal Dow and to denounce Sr. van. — . —?U)M—ü᷑2 — Rome was not built in a day, and it is not to be expected that a complete system of street-sprinkling for a city as large as St. Louis can be launched in full perfeo- tion and complete working order at the very start. It is like the starting of new machinery. No matter how admirable it may be, there will be friction when it first begins to run; dut in a little while the working will be smooth and satisfactory. There is no reasonable ground for doubt- ing the entire success of the newly inaug- urated plan of sprinkling the streets of the city. There has been an urgent need of some plan of settling the dust on the street that should be better than the old one and more uniform in its operation. Only a small proportion of the population ofthe city can spend the hot months in pleasanter quarters out- side of the city limits. The great mass of the people must pass the summer at home, and to them the sprinkling question is one of the utmost importance. The pro- vision for better street-sprinkling is a reasonable response to a just popular de- mand for relief from a serious and grow- ing evil. The initial defects of the new system should be pointed out at once by order that satisfactory results may be ob- tained as soon as possible. But there is no danger of failure, The sprinkling con- tracts have been let to responsible parties and they will be faithfully carried out. Wum the Massachusetts Republicans declare that they are the only true Pro- hibitionists, the Pennsylvania Republi- cansare shouting for free whisky; and while an immense number of Texas Democrats are clamoring for Prohibition, the Democratic State Convention of Vir- ginia swells the free whidkky slogan. Under the circnmstances, it is a pretty gorgeous exhibition of ‘‘cheex’’ for either ofthe old parties to claim a mo- nopoly of the temperance idea. Gitte a. Nor only the stars in their courses, but the Scottish grouse, are fighting the bat- tles of the English Liberals. So many aristocratic Tories arenow shooting grouse in Scotland that their allies who still at- tend the sessions of the Commons are much embarrassed on account of their scant array. Shooting grouse is nowa much pleasanter exercise than fighting Home Rule. What He Could Have Done. From the New York Wontp. ‘*What could Mr. Cleveland have done dit. ferently to strengthen his party with the peo- ple and himself with the party?“ ask the apologists of the President of his critics. It isa fair question and deserves a straight answer. The President could have avoided much of the pressure for places from members of his Own party and have better satisfied the civil- service reformers by announcing at the start that the public service was to be departisan - ed as a matter of justice and of right. all offices related to the policy of the Administra- tion shoutd be filled with men in sympathy therewith. The non-political offices, consti- tating by far the larger number, should be filled by competent and fit men without re- gard to politics. But inasmuch as all these were in possession of the Republicans, halt of them should have been promptly changed to secure an Unpartisan reform basis upon which to conduct the service in the future. In making appointments to important offices the President could have consulted the wishes of his party by selecting prominent and rep- resentative Democrats, Instead of taking ool- orless nobodies or useless relics to gratify his own impulses or the partiaiities of his Cabinet officers. The President could have instantly removed a few conspicuous Viotators of his very proper insist that every Southern negre who ST. JOHN had been bought up by the Dem- those chiefly interested in its success, in | sincerity or his courage! correcting an evil which Democrats have been denouncing for the past dozen years. More and better than all, the President could have spoken the earnest and frequent word that has been conspicuously lacking, in sym- pathy with the growing opposition of the peo- ple to plutocrocy in politics, to the towering tyranny of combined capital in business en- terprises, to the interference of corporations in the affairs of Government, and to the rings that have long rioted in their plunder. In a word, Mr. Cleveland could have been an active, aggressive and consistent reform President and the responsive representative of a triumphant party instead of—what he has been. The Panama Canal. Prom the New York Tribune. ö No wonder the latest Panama Canai loan wus afailure. No more damuing influence could have been used against it than the report hh the state of the enterprise which was intended to promote its success. This report appeared in an extra number of the ‘‘Bulletin Canal du Interoceanique,’’ and was prepared by M. de Leaseps himself. Its direct statements and the unavoidable deductions to be drawn from them present a record of recklessness and in- fatuation scarcely to be paralleled. The loans of the company in 1882, 1683 and 1884 netsed $82,486,949. That was the amount actually re- ceived. But as these loans were made ata heavy discount, the indebtedness of the company on them dame to $125,96¢,700. by this report, the loans received amounted to $154 ,509 ,082, and the indebtedness assumed to 07. 088, 80. Out of these enormous sums only about $29 , 000 , 000 has been spent for actual canal cutting. and some $20,000,000 for plant and stores. There re- mains, then, the sum of $105,000,000 and more tobe accounted for. It wentfor ‘‘financing,’’ for interest and siuking fund, some of it; for more questionable purposes more of it; for ‘*‘gundries’’ more than $80,000,000, and for or- fice expenses’’ in Paris not less than $2,000,000 a year. And now M. de Lesseps, after all this profligate expenditure, for the first time ad- mits that there may be in the mountainous backbone of the Isthmus not yet pierced tre- menddus obstacles which no human effort can give assurance against. After this, the next issue of the ‘‘Bulletin’’ will be awaited with eagerness. Should itannounce the hopeless collapse of the whole undertaking, it could nave no better introduction than the report M. de Lesseps has just made. The Massachusetts Situation. From the Evening Post. A signal of distress is hoisted by the Repub- lican party of Massachusetts in the pathetic appeal, signed by Senators Dawes and Hoar and a long list of other magnates, and ad- | dressed to the Prohibitionists, imploring them not to be so foolish as to vote for the third party, when the Republican party, with its ‘‘splendid national history, etc., Is ready to promise them anything— before the election. There is reason for the Republican alarm. The spirit mani- fested in the town of Conway, where a pledge to support the Prohibition party has been signed by about half of the Republican voters, is shared by many other members of the grand old party, and ata largely attended meeting in Northampton a few days ago, the speakersannounced their desire and purpose to beat the Republican party as the surest way of ultimately reaching their end. Any fresh promises which the Re- publican managers may now make will count for little in view of the fact that the party last year pledged itself to submita Prohibition amendment, and then failed to keep the pledge when the question came toa vote in the Legislature. Corporation Slaves. From the Atlantic City Times. While the picked nine of the Pennsylvania statesmen are sojourning in this city, devis - ing how to raise revenue for their great State, the New York WORLD, in a series of striking articies, is showing clearly how other Penn- sylvanians do@aise revenue out of the blood and bones of tolling miners. If statesman- ship consists im securing life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to any considerable num- ber of mankind, here is a red-hot opportunity to exercise the same. But then, in a different way, we suppose that the politician in his of- fice is to some extent a slave of corporations just as the miners seem to be. — MEN OF MARK. Gov.

By Telegraph to the POstT-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, August 17.—The WORLD says: »The prevention of the surplus by a reduction of taxes is a public, not a party question, and it should be treated as such. In their national platforms both parties are committed to sub- stantially the same line of action in regard to it. In the Republican resolutions it was de- clared that the party ‘pledges itself to correct the inequalities of the tariff and to reduce the surplus.’ The Democratic platform was simply more explicit and emphatic in the same direction. All men who love their country more than their party, and who favor the people instead of monopolies and tax- eaters, should act together to stop the sur- plus.’’ The Sun says, speaking of the cruisers: There is another consideration which has not been mentioned either by the Secretary of the Navy or the ident. One of the new cruisers should be and no doubt will de per- manently employed in the Pacific. The cost of the coal and other expenses needed to carry the vessel from an Atiantic port around Cape Horn would probably exceed $18,000. It is economy to build the cruiser in San Fran- cisco. Besides, this award will qreaty — 2 the Democratic party in the Pacific 8. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘Clearly there is no ground for the charge of undue haste in the matter of building the armored ships author- ized by Con ago. A design for one of them has been ac- — — but the board appointed to consider it will not be ready to report before the end of September. When actual work will be begun is a question nobody can answer. If such de- liberate progress was ee solely to — better results it could be borne with patience.’’ THY TIMES.

Members of the Reyal Family Who Hold Places of Profit Under the Crown—A Queen’s Mishap—The Ameer’s Physician Beheaded —An Enjoyable Meet — The Cowes Season—The Cheshire Victory— Social and Political Gossip. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LonpDon, August 17.—The Queen and Princess | Beatrice are to visit Empress Eugenie at Farns- borough to-day. They cross the Solent from East Cowes to Gosport in the royal yacht Al- berta and will travel to Farnsborough and back by special train. g COSTLY REPAIRS. The turret ship Monarch is to be overhauled and refitted at Chatham. The sum of £44,000 has already been expended in preparing this vessel for the recent review and subsequent maneuvers. A GOVERNMENT MISTAKE. Mr. Munro Ferguson has moved for a return of the members of the royal family who hold places of profit under the Orown, but the motion has been blocked by the Government proceeding, which seems most irrational, as they certainly cannot prevent the desired information being obtained next year, and theiridiotic attempt to burke such matters can only result in drawing ad- ditional notice to it. The return would include the names of the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, Duke of Connaught, Duke of Cam- bridge, Prince Albert Victor, Prince George of Wales, Prince Edwardof Saxe Weimur, Prince Christian, Prince Louis of Battenberg and Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenberg, who receives the half pay of a Rear Admiral in ad- dition to £1,200 a year, as his salary for the purely sinecure office of Governor of the Round Tower at Windsor Castle, in which he succeeded the Prince Consort. The appoint- ments of well endowed royalties and quasi- royalties to place in the pay of the state have increased, are increasing and ought to be diminished, or rather ought to cease alto- gether. ROYAL RESIDENCES UNOCCUPIED. The Queen has three empty residences on Deeside all ready for occupancy—Balmoral, Abergeidie Oastle and Birkhall—and yet, strange to relate, Her Majesty’s invalid son- in-law, the German Crown Prince, has to live at the crowded and noisy Breamer Inn during his stay in the district. FUSTIAN TRASH. We read a great deal of fustian trash about eager sportsmen in Scotland, but I fear that grouse shooting has degenerated from an amusement into a trade, as it is notorious that game is now sold from almost every large moor, and even wealthy Dukes do not hesitate to go into the market with their birds. JOHN MORLEY, Mr. John Morley has been down in Scotland for nearlya week. He was staying in Kilgras- ton, Perthshire, on a visit to Mr. Andrew Carnegie. A QUEEN’S MISHAP. Queen Marie of Hanover broke her arm last week at the Duke of Cumberland’s villa at Pinsing, near Vienna, through falling on the highly polished floor of the picture gallery. AN UNLUCKY PHYSICIAN. The harmony of the Court of Cabul has been disturbed by a tragical incident. According to the Indian papers, the Ameer, while ona country excursion, was afflicted with a boil on his arm, from which he suffered much pain. On returning to Cabul the principal court physician was summoned and he applied an ointment, which was no doubt intended to be highly efficacious in its ultimate results, but at first it considerably aggravated the Ameer’s anguish, and having passed a sleep- less night he ordered the instant execution of his medical adviser, who accordingly was forthwith beheaded in the court-yardot the palace. FALSE REPORTS. A weekly contemporary announces that Prince Albert Victor and Prince George are t~ be made Dukes at an early date. There is no truth inthis report, which has been widely ctroulated, The Prince of Wales does not wish his eldest son to enter the House of Lords for some time to come, and itis very improbabie that Prince George will be made a Peer during the present reign. The same journal states that the Prince of Wales bears a large part of the cost of many of thestate appearances which he makes for the Queen. This is a pure fiction, for every farthing of the expense on all these occasions is always paid by the Queen, and the Prince of Wales is involved in no expense whatever, either direct or indi- rect. AN ENJOYABLE MEST. The opening meet of the Devon and Somer- set stag hounds was attended by an immense crowd of people, and Mr. Bassett of Water- worth Castle, the new master. was loudly cheered when he arrived. The weather was perfect and picnic luncheons were most en- joyabie. The meet was the largest ever known, and there must have been nearly two hundred vehicles and a vast cavalcade of riders, both male and female. After several failures a splendid stag was turned out of the neighboring combe, and he broke away over Lee Hill, where the gallop on the heather was delightful. The short run, however, had an ignominiong conclusion, as the stag ran into a street of Poriock Village and took refuge in a back yard, where he was slaughtered—a truly disgusting spectacle. He was avery heavy beast, with an exceedingly handsome head. THE COWES SEASON. The Cowes season baving come to an end, most of the yachts are now moving westward to attend the regattas on the Dorsetshire and Devonshire coasts, as usual. Besides the rac- ing, all the fun of the fair will be enjoyed at Dartmouth, where itis the fashion to patron- ize shows and merry-go-rounds on the new grounds in a manner unknown elsewhere, while Torquay intends to offer unusually large prizes inthe hope of attracting all the crack racers to its unrivaled Day. FREE BATHING. Sir Robert Fowler, in dealing wit h the party of lads charged before him with bathing near Blackfriars Bridge, made some sensible remarks on the ot bathing facilities in Londen, promised to stir the Commo Council in the matter.

The weather was perfect during the day. Early in the evening Mrs. Cleveland returned to Capt. Hadiey’s residence, which, after a brief interval of interior illumination, was once more wrapped in darkness and slumber. THE PACIFIC INVESTIGATIONS. Senator Stanford’s Answer to the Petition of the Commission. Saw FRANCISCO, Cal., August 17.—There was filed in the United States Court here yesterday the answer of Leland Stanford to the petition of the Pacific Rallway Commission to compel said Stanford to answer questions as to the use of money for the purpose of influencing legis- lation in connection with the Central Pacific Railway. After citing at length the history of the Central Pacific Railway, Stanford says he has taken part in trans- act the business of the company for over twenty-five years, and in int of value, ag- ing upward of ,000,000. As the usiness took piace, he was cognizant of it, but, owing toits multiplicity and press of matters more important than mere detail, he is now no longer abie to recall many of the matters with which he was once personally famil jar. After receiving the circular from the Com- mission in May of this year, calling for certain information, endeavored to comply with the request. Answers containing all the available information were prepared and sub- mitted to the Commission. Since the arrival of the Commission in San Francisco he has waited upon them, the pr officers and the employes 0 the Central Pacific Company have walted upon them, and every person in the employ of the road whose presence was desired, or who could furnish them information in respect to the su of their investigation, have promptly and cheerfully done so. Provisions of law creating the Central Pacifie Company have been complied with. NO CORRUPTION. To quote from the answer filed: ‘‘In my tes- timony given to the Commissioners I have said in substance, and pow repeat, that I have never corrupted or attempted to corrupt any member of Legislature or any member of Congress, or any public official, nor have 1 authorized any one to do so. regard to the vouchers referred to in present application, Stanford said: *‘All the claims covered by these vouchers have re- ceived not only the approval of the Board of Directors of the Central Pacific Railroad Com- could in any wise be affected ment embraced in those vouchers were all sati therewith. Therefore, the Commission ought to be satisfied with them.

Umpire Ted Sullivan, in a ohat about um- piring —— expressed the opinion that most of the umpire’s troubles came from de- cisions at second base, which in most cases are as he cial uess work. He suggested that the remedy for this must be found in a rule abolishing the necessity of ey a e- runner at second or third base on a Steal, and making the play the same as a foroce-out b requiring the baseman to merely hold the bal on the base before the base-runner reaches it. That might relieve the umpire somewhat, but it would kill the science of base-runni and base-playing. In fact, Mr. Sullivan’s theory would never do.—{Exchange. Man r Barney, in speaking of the meeting of the American Association to be held on Sep- tember 8, in New York, said that unless the Brooklyns, Baltimores and Athietics wanted it, there would not be enough votes to pledge the Association to a percentage system for next season. The three bslubs mentioned, to- gether with Cincinnatl, are satisfied to retain the present guarantee system, but Barnie in- timates that some concession will be made with the view of keeping some of the clubs that are not drawing well, and thus retain all the members now in the Association. As Byrne and Barnie have been together a od deal of late, it is believed they have talked the matter over, and that something will be done at the New York meeting that will cause St. Louis to stick in the Association and also draw Detroit out of the League. A clever piece of head-work in one of the games this week with Philadelphia deserves to o on record. Williamson, who always has is wits abovt him when on the bases, had reached third, when a foul from Burns’ bat went back teward the bome players’ bench. McGuire, the catcher, started in that direction but to save him the trouble Pfeffer got the ball and threw it 3 to the pitoher standing in his sition, McGuire meanwhile walking slowly back toward the plate. Williamson, who instantly perceived the opening when the ball had been received by the pitcher, worked carelessly off third base without attracting at- tention, and then made a dash for the plate, and had safely scored his run before anybody but he had discovered the chance offered.— {Chicago letter in New York Sun.

Maud 8. Can Beat Her Record. Robert Bonner does not doubt that Maud 8. can lower her record whenever she is asked to doso. ‘‘But,’’ said he to a reporter, What is the use of trotting her against her own time? IfI hear of anything approaching the mare’s record I shall certainly give Murphy permission to ‘drive her where she can go.. But there is no probabillty of her record being approached?’’ None whatever at present. Referring to Maud 8.’s mile on Saturday, Mr. Bonner said: ‘‘Her performance is better than the newspapers make k. Murphy, ber trainer, has been too ili to handle her this year. Consequently her training devolved ina large measure onme. She has been going at the rate of twenty-eight miles an hour. have driven her twenty-four toa wagon.

Murphy has driven Maud 8. only three times this year, once to wagon and twice to sulky,’’ Mr. Bonner continued. ‘‘The papers made a slight mistake in the fractional time of Saturday’strial.

But he who represented the New York Tribune on the great racing day at Mon- mouth is entitled to be placed first as a „kicker, Starting in with the cry that own- ers should not enter at $250 each any colt short of first-class form to contest such a race as the ‘*Junior Ohampion’’ (worth $19,000 to the win- ner), he sees no way out but to wail over the luck of the Dwyers, who landea the stake with just such material in Kingfish. ‘‘Why didn’ Baldwin put — od on Los Angeles instead of West?’’ he asks. ‘‘Surely the premier jockey could not have ridden worse and might have done better’’— as if but little could be expected in any event of the crack Western jockeys.

There was something of a sensation on the beach — caused by a girl. The a sea, though cool and chilly, was crowded. There were more people here to-day than on any since the opening of the season, and consequently the crowd on the beach was very large, But the young lady who was responsible for the sen- sation got all the room she wanted. Somebody spied her coming across the road and down the beach. Somebody else saw somebody looking,and by the time she reached the outsk of the crowd a very wide path was made for her. She had been here about three days and her apparent reticence and desire not to meet people have made her conspicu- ous around the hotel. She is a beauty, too, tall aud dark, with a superb figure. The reason everybody looked at her was on account of her dress and surroundings. It wasn’t particularly loud, although it was designed to display her charms to the best advantage. er perfect rounded arms were bare to the shoulder, where little white wings“ or puffs were located. The material of the dress was the usual shade of dark blue, but more expensive than the usualrun. Her hose would have done justice to any lyric queen. But with all this there was an air of refine- ment about her that was captivating. She was followed by a neat little French maid who carried a large, light-blue robe, very much in the style of an afghan. It was this that made people express won- der. When the young 4 emerged from e beach. Her coming had been anticipated.

HOGS—Early arrivals were light, and a fair demand being had from city butchers,salesmen were enabled to close out most of the fat ho at about steady prices. The tops bringing $5. and other sales to them $.15@5.20. The qual- ity was not very good and it was claimed that really fine corn-fed hogs would have sold better than the above. After butchers had $ withdrawn the feeling exhibited weakness and 133 sagged down. There was no de- mand outside ofa smallingulry for liaht hogs from shippers, which was satisfied at $4.50@5. In the meantime more hogs arrived, and any signs of improvment the market may have shown atthe start was lost, and values de- clined 1380. The demand was lifeless, and the market worse even than on yesterday. A large proportion of the rece * were thin light hogs and grasgers for which there was no demand. Packers were entirely out of the market and propose to stay out until the arrivals and the quality of the receipts improve. The basis for sales at the close was $5.10@5.20 for butchers, $5.10@5.15 for good packers, $4.90@5 for yorkers and $3.75 @4.50 for grassers and thin sained. Representative sales: UNION STOCK YARDS.

MR. GEORGE J. GOULD’S HEIR, Jay Gould, the Kailway Magnate, a Happy ' Grandfather. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPaTcn. New YorK, August 17.—Mr. George J. Gould was at his office in the Western Union build- | ing but a very few minutes yesterday. He robably would not have remained there anon if stocks had played antics enough to break a dozen brokers. There is one thing in every well-regulated man’s life beside which railroads, telegraphs, bonds and stocks sink into insignificance, and that was what Goul from dis — office gait, distinct traces of bubbling joy in his demeanor. Mr. Jay Gould walked in with him, and he, too, wore a suggestive smile, which, as he set about his duties, seemed to say that, while he was almost too busy to think of it, he was ee. | happier than he had been for many a day. course it all got out. Bome things can be kept quiet, but there are others that fill aman up and run him over, and he cannot help telling all about them. Any one would have thought, a few minutes after Mr. Gould reached his office, that the Western Union had gobbled up every wire in the country. But without stopping there, the exuberance of feeling began to spread to Missouri Pacific, to the K. & T., to the Wabash, St. Louis & Pacific, to the St. Louis & Iron Mountain, and it even got down to 71 Broadway and made smiles in the office of the Manhattan Elevated. The sweet little cause of all this was trying meanwhile to kick his little toes through the silk coverlet which hid all but his little face as he lay at No. 1 East Forty-seventh street. Dr. George Fowler of Brooklyn called at No. 1 East For- ty-seventh street early Monday morning and at just 7:17 p. m. A SON WAS BORN to = George Gould and Mrs. Edith Kingdon GouM. He tipped the kitchen scales at just nine pounds. Ticking on the wires to Irving- ton a little later, flew a brief message which carried the first installment of joy to r. Jay Gould, who went to bed with the blessed realization of being 4 n grandfather. He got an earlier start than usual yesterday morning. Perhaps he hurried through his breakfast a little, but at any rate the Atalanta, which is asort of time-piece for — — living on the Hudson below Irvington, made people think their watches were — time. The big yacht bounded along at a rap! rate, kicking up a long white track of foam behind, which spread out on big ripples to eithershore. Jay Gould sat by the wheel and seemed to find little of interest in his news- paper and the first thing he did after leaving the Atalanta was to go to No. 1 East Forty- The 8 between Mr. Gould and his grandson was held with closed doors, butany grandfather who remembers how he felt and what he did when he first saw his first grandson, knows all about it. Of course he wanted to take the dainty little bundle in bis lap, and shake its pink little feet at each other and chuck it under the chin, but the nurse restrained him and he sat and looked at the young heir through his gold-bowed spectacle, watching him closer than he ever watched a ticker, and with as much delight. A GOOD GRASPER. - The little grandson took it very naturally. Hie did not know Mr. Jay Gould at first and made faces at him. Then he put up his chubby little fists and spent some time in struggling to grasp something in the air. And though he id not get hold of anything he showed that he was rn to beagood grasper and Mr. Gould seemed pleased. The youngest George 4s a striking brunette, like his father. He has little black eyes that are very bright, and both Mr. and Mrs. George Gould think he is the sweetest little bundie of great possibilities ever in the city or any other city. @ has as yet de- veloped no talent for the stage. He has not been named yet. Iwill leave that to Mrs. Gould,“ said Mr. George Gould yesterday, speaking of a name ag his son, Ioan not tell what the name will e.”’ Jay Kingdon Gould has been suggested. Mr. George Gould, the eldest son of Jay Gould, was married to Miss Edith Kigdon, formerly the 1 actress ot Daly’s Com- pany, at Jay Gould’s summer home, Lynd- urst, in Irvington, on September 14, 1886. It Was a notable wedding, with not more than a dozen people present. Mr. Jay Gould and Mr. George Gould, with his bride-elect and Mrs. Kingdon, salled up from New York that — 22 the Atalanta and the wedding took pla dt dusk. Mr. George Gould was at Bis desk, in the Western Union building, the next day. SOMETHING NEW IN WATCHES Of Some Interest to Watch Owners. There is now on exhibition in the center window of the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co., corner of Fourth and Locust, a fine demagnetizing machine, invented by Mr. John Greaves, which in ite simplicity and effec- tiveness Is the most wonderful machine made yet for that purpose. On the side of it are four old magnetized watches, with a tester on their balance-wheel, showing the effect of magnetism on watches, and onthe other side one movement which has been demagnetized ; also a tray full of fine gold non-magnetic watches just received and for sale at lew prices considering quality. \ Every one should go and see them.

KANSAS Crrr, August 17.—The train wreok- ers’ trial wasin progressin the District Court at Wyandotte, Kan., yesterday. Forty tales- men were examined and eight jurymen were selected, Considerable acrimony was dis played bythe attorneys in a dispute over the records of a former trial. Stewart Jackson, the President of the Dispatch Transfer Com- pany. is reported to have absconded with $17, - of the company’s money. Developments show that the missing man was intimate with Lizzie Pullem, one of the most notorious characters in the city. Mr. Cole, his father-in-law, has instituted suit to recover 17,000 he loaned Jackson, and attachments ave been issued against Jackson in favor of J. M. Oaskey.

The Rain Favors the Contractors—Effect of the on the Water Supply and the Fire Plugs—Reports Concerning the Work From Different Parts of the City— —Description of How the Sprinkling Is Done—Praise and Blame Awarded, With Generally Favorable Comments. There were no complaints about the sprink- ling of the streets this morning. The clouds last evening attended pretty thoroughly to the work, and to-day the contractors took a half holiday and counted clear profit on one morn- ing’s pay. The water carts were of course not on their routes for the first sprinkling to-day. Notwithstanding the critical examination of the work by citizens, specific complaints are wonderfully small in number. Street Com- missioner Turner said this morning that he had received afew complaints, but most of them were trivial and were scarcely worth investigating. One piece of information was to the effect that a driver left his reducing hose on a plug and the gardeners in the neigh- borhood used the water. The contractor whose driver was guilty of this carelessness will be fined. WATER COMMISSIONER HOLMAN is on the whole rather surprised at the lack of evil results from the free use of water and the handling of the fire plugs. ‘‘I can not tell, said he, as yet exactly what the effect ison the water supply, because only two days of sprinkling have passed and to-day the rain stopped the morning work. It will take a week to discover the amount of water used regularly under the system. In the first two days, of course, there was some wastage, on account of awkwardness in the use of the fire-plugs. Some ot the plugs are what we call ‘‘kickers,’’ that is, the shut-off is somewhat loose and when one tries to cut off the water while it is running, the metal piece rattles and is foreed upward, so there is great difficulty in closing the plug where the pressure is heavy and an im- mense amount of water may be wasted inafew minutes. Thenthe necessity of putting on and off the reducing hose wears the threads of the plug: still the damage to plugs is much less than I anticipated it would be at the start. About eight plugs have been reported out of order in from 600 to 800 that are used. If sprinkling by the city is continued I think it would be advisable to put in sprinkling plugs. Many have already been put in by private con- tractors and only a tew more would be needed. The city could gradually put them in, and then the fire plugs would be used only by the Fire Department, asthey should be. Sul. so far, there have been remarkably few accidents, and everything seems to be running smoothly. THE FIRST TWO DAYS’ WORK. In order to ascertain the kind of sprinklin being done under the city as compared wit the old system of private contracts, aforce of PoOsT- DISPATCH reporters inspected the work yesterday in different localities of the city, and also learned, as far as possible, the opinions of residents as to the resuits of the system during the first two days. The reports, as will be found by reading them, are gener- ally favorable, although there was not entire satisfaction in some places and severe criti- cism of the methods of the drivers were in- dulged in by afew citizens. The reports are fair indications of the results of the work of the first two days? THE ASPHALTUM STREETS. Along the asphaitum streets which consti- tute one district the new system gives pretty general satisfaction. Although the contract only calls for two sprinklings a day the com- any which hold the contract for sweeping cust street, Pine street, Beaumont street and Leffingwell avenue and the short stretehes of asphalt paved streets find it necessary to send a sprinkling cart in advance of the sweepers at night, which gives the streeta benefitof a third, though a very light sprinkling. Some of the sprinklers in the western part of the city appeared very anxious to carry out the contractto the letter. After 6 o’clock last night, when Chestnut and Market streets were pretty well sprinkled by the rain, cart No. 18 of the 8t. Louis Company started out from Twentieth street and poured a flood of muddy water along its route. BETWEEN FRANKLIN AND CASS AVENUES. The work done by the sprinklers in the neighborhood of Franklin avenue to Cass av- enue and Sixteenth to Twentieth streets was very fair yesterday. The wider streets, in fact, were all well done, and except in spots the dust was well laid. The people in this vi- cinity were a triſle surprised, huwever, at the small quantity of water used, ac- customed, as they have been, to whole rivers of it under the old system. The sprinkling yesterday was good, But on Monday it was pronounced bad. On that day the drivers of the carts seemed to Keep their horses ata rapid gait. One man who lives on Division street, a smalithoroughfare between Biddle and O'Fallon streets, complains that the carts went over that street but once on Monday and, therefore, broke the contract with the city. FROM CHANNING TO CABANNE AVENUE. The residents in the district lying between Channing avenue, Cabanne avenue, Laclede avenue and Olive street are well satisfied with the initial attempts to lay the dust. The sprinkling has not been done as well as it might it is true, but then the peeple are inclined to look lieniently on the short-comings of the inaugural attempts. Yesterday evening, just before the rain fell, the carts had made their second trip, and though the streets were not wet sufficiently to be muddy, still the dust was effectually laid, and to people who have been forced literally to eat dust all summer, | this relief was accepted with many expressions of satisfaction. Of course every one expects improvementas experience is gained by the contractors, and there is every reason to be- lieve that their expectations will be fully realized. A NORTHERN DISTRICT. A tour of inspection in the district lying be- tween the river and Grand avenue, St. Louis and Oass avenues, discovered a unanimity of public tapprobation, and auniversal feeling of satisfaction entertained by the residents and business men of that portion of the city at the success with which the system has been conducted so far and for what it promises in — o at . the teen or twen ersons with whom the reporter Pn | bem the subject, there was not a single dissentin voice against the feasibility of the system and but very few complaints, ifthey may be called such, as to the manner in which the sprink- ling contract in that district is being per- formed. There are some croakers‘who are born that way and with whom one would be disap- pointed did they not kick. It is simply their method of expressing their approval, and they condemnation of the system isthe most satisfactory evidence of its worth and salu- tary results. The most gratifying testimony elicited any- where in the district was mét with at the Fourth District Police Station, in the expres- sions of satisfaction and approval from apt. Joyce and Sergt. Keliy, both of whom are emphatically in favor of public sprink- ling, notwithstanding the fact that its cost was provided for at the expense of the police fund, and defeated the proposed increase of the patrol force. Neither had heard any oom piaints, and both were satisfied that the system would work like a charm when everything got in good running order. The drivers were not familiar with the use of fire plugs and did not yet know how to operate them, but such little difficulties would soon be overcome, and the system would run — ae as a n piece of : ey are hear in fav and want the public to know it. oe AROUND LAFAYETTE PARK. The sprinkling has been very carefully done in the vicinity of Lafayette Park. Most of the streets about there have been sprinkled under the private contract system heretofore, the charges varying from $i to S per house. Two drug-store proprietors who pald for the space in ront of their stores and the halt block at the sides save $10 per month bythe new arrangement. The streets are wet down very thoroughly in the morning and evening, though not as wet as formerly. The Paducah gravel, which aves the ts directly about the park and ississippi avenue from Lafayette to Chouteau and Park as far west as Jefferson avenue ab. sorbs the water so quickly that this difference ie more apparent there than on the street av with macadam. The Oit Hospit has a sprinkling cart, which fs still in use, and consequently the streets thereabout are soaked. he street-car com- panies sprinkle the curves in their tracks, and as these curves are numerous in that section . MEN'S AND YOUTHS’ COATS AN Coats and inhabitants betag — generally with the contractors’ work. ON DICKSON STREET. W. O. Sievers of 3015 Dickson street said: „„The sprinkling to us seemed like a benedic- tion. Lhappen tobe surrounded bya large tract of unoccupied land. This made it impos- sible for us in the block to secure sprink ing under the old system, as being so few we woul have had to pay a very heavy tax for sprinkling. Now we can get the blessing of sprinkling, and I assure you I appreciate it, even though in the Initial work I do not think it comes up to one’s idea of what sprinkling should be. But in our block there are no kickers. Weall goon the principle of being thankful for small favors. In a locality where asprinkling-cart has never been seen, it is quite impossible to find any who are dis- satisfied. A CARELESS DRIVER. Lewis Hild said: ‘‘What do I say about the sprinkling? Bad, bad! It is all the fault of the contractors and not of the system. On Twenty-third. street, north of St. Louis ave. nue, the driver, instead of going over the street twice, went down the middle and let the sides trust to luck. any water reached the sides, all right; if not, he didn’t bother. As A result the street was soon dry again. But I believe the system will be allright in time. As soon as the contractors find that — will not be al- lowed to monkey so, the peor e will get the true and full benefit of sprinkling. I am satisfied not so much with the firat sprinkling as with the outlook. AT VARIOUS LOCALITIES. In the vicinity of Garrison and Washington avennes on Monday the residents were sur- prised to learn from the Post-DISPATCH that the sprinkling under city ordinance had be- n. There was so little evidence that but for fheir faith in the Post-DISPATOH they would have been inclined to deny the statement. Yesterday morning there was stronger mary when the heuseholder came out on his front step and looked at the streets. The wood pavement bore unmis- takable evidence of dampness and the honse- holder was therefore constrained to believe that it had been eprinkled. A bot day would have dried the street in an hour. Two gentlemen who walked down town at about 8 o’clock yesterday 8 made diligent search along the length of Tweifth street for a damp spot. Their eyes were somewhat blinded by the clouds of dust that blew in their faces, and this may account for the fact that they failed to find the spot they were seeking. A gentieman living at Jefferson avenue and North Market street says that he saw the sprinkling-cart moving off rapidly in the dis- 1 but there was very little water left be- ind it. A manufacturer doing business near Mal- linckrodt street says that he found that thoroughfare well sprinkled yesterday. CONTRACTORS SLIGHTING THEIR WORK. In the portion of the city extending from Olive street to the railroad tracks and from Jefferson avenue east acouple of blocks there | is some complaint about the manner in which the contractors have been slighting their work. Instead of sprinkling thoroughly as they did when paid by private individuals a have shown a disposition to run over their territory hurriedly, merely dampening the dust slightly on the surface so that when a wagon passes along the wheels go be- neath the surface layer of water and stir up the dust from beneath. Two réasons are assigned forthis. One is that the contractors want to cover too large a territory with each cart, and the other that thep are purposely slighting the work in order to get the people disgusted with public sprink- ling, and thus secure arepeal of the measure and a return to their old-time bonanza of private sprinkling. Nearly all of this district was formerly sprinkled by private subscrip- tions, and the same contractors then per- formed the work much better than they now attempt to do for the city. If anything the trouble formerly was that they sprinkled too much water on the streets, creating mud, instead of merely laying the dust 5 Mr. James Martin of Randolph street,speaking of the sprinkling last evening, said: ‘‘It is a little soon to express an opinion on the work, and I thought I would give the contractors further time before I would say anything, but as you have asked me the 22 I will tell you that the sprink - bas not been as ling so fo satis- facto as 1 would like to have it. a Formerly they put too much water on the streets and actually made them muddy, but now they justskim overthem hur- riedly, and shortly after the carts have passed the streets are almost as dusty as ever. They are 8 dampened a little on the surface, and the first vehicle that comes along goes through this and raises the dust from beneath. They should certainly be made to do their work properly, and then general sprinkling would be a great boon.’’.

The Mildest Yield Yet Known in the History of the Institution — Budding American Singers and What They Are Doing—Why Prince Albert Victor’s Marriage Is De- layed—Lucy Hooper’s Paris Letter. Special Correspondence of the POST-DISPATCH. PaRIs, August5.—The competitions at the Conservatore are ended, thus closing the dramatic and musical annals of the season. Like all the rest of this disastrous period for French theatricals, the result has been very dismal. The whole of the nine concours have furnished but a single ‘‘star,’’ Mlle. Rennie, a child of 1l, whose performance on the harp was so extraordinary that she gained her first prize without the slightest opposition. Of the singers, none were above the level of opera bouffe. As to the dramatic class its proceedings were simply disheartening. The usual number of firstand second prizes were accorded, but they were given, not to recom- pense talent, but toreward long study and patient endeavoron the part of certain very mediocre pupils. An ‘‘honorable mention“ was bestowed on the efforts of one young lady, whose chief charm to distinction appeared to reside in her very elegant toilet of yellow satin and white lace. The Oomedie Francaise takes one ofthe prize winners, M. Leitner, an ugly little man with a fine voice and great charm of diction. What will they do with him in the House of Moliere, I wonder. They have plenty of ugly littie men there, who can recite heroic verse admirably. The Odeon takes the two lady winners of first prizes in the dramatic class, and the rest must go back totheir studies and hope for better luck next year. Some of the disappointed candidates among the young ladies cried bit- terly when the decision of the jury was an- nounced tothem. But the awards were in most instances made with great justice and strict impartiality. AMERICAN STARS. There is a general closing up of private edu- cational establishments, as well as of publio ones. Mme. Marchesi, the great teacher of singing, has left Paris with her husband, the Marquis de Oastrone. They have gone to Vienna to visit their daughter, the Baroness — — de Podhagry. Mme. Marchesi has a brilliant American pupil, Miss Emma Eames of Boston, who is nearly ready to commence her professional career. er voice is a powerful sweet-toned dramatic soprano, and she is ex- ceedingly pretty withal. She is already en- gaged or the Royal Opera-house at Brussels, ut will remain for another year under the tu- ition of her accomplished professor. A young English married lady, Mme. Melba, isthe most promising of the great Professor’s graduates for the present year. Mme.De Lagrange bas gone to Etretat to recuperate. Her best pupil of the past season is a young amateur vocalist, Miss Adele Gilpin of Pittsburg, who has just left Paris with her mother for a tour in Switzerland. She willreturn in October to the United States. Miss Head of Wisconsin has been studying with Sig. Sbriglia during the past year and has now gone home. Mme. Emma Nevada-Palmer and Dr. Palmer have arrived at Ems. The young prima donna is in splendid health and her lovely voice was never in better condition. Before leaving London she signed a highly favorable en- gogewens with the San Carlo Opera- ouse at Lisbon to sing in that city during the coming winter, The famous French tenor Talazac has been engaged to support her. Miss Groll has gone to German to spend her vacation. She will singin Ital- lan opera in the English provinces during the autumn. Miss Alice Whitacre, after a tour through Switzerland and Germany, will return to London to fulfill her numerous concert en- gagements. MissJennie Dickerson has been la, pa by Carl Rosa for his English opera oupe. The movementstof Miss Marie Engle of Chi- cago, the beautiful and successful young prima donna of the Drury Lane Opera Com- pany, have not yet been definitely decided upon. SALARIES SMALLER. There has been a notable diminution in the salaries paid to leading prime donne during the past season in London. One very success ful young singer received $100 per week, and another accomplished dramatic soprano was aid $200 a week. Even so great and rilliant a fixed star as me. Albani was shorn somewhat of her silver rays in the way of salary. But in London a very fruitful source of rev- enue to leading singers lies in the popularity of private concerts as a form of entertainment for wealthy hosts and hostesses to give. For singing three or four songs in one evening Mmes. Albani and Nevada are paid from $400 to $600, and artistes of minor celebrity and less accomplishments from $250 to $100. Recita- tions are much less highly remunerated than ts song. The greatest reciter in the world, the elder Coquelin, receives $200 for his services at a private sotree, and the lesser lights are paid from $50 to The highest remuneration ever given for one of ese rivate performances was that accorded by aron de Rotnschild of Paris to Mme. Patti and Sig. Nicolini for appeariug at a soiree at his house in the third act of Alda. The amount was $3,000, alesser sum than that which is often spent in flowers and German favors, supper and wines at an American ball. PRINCD ALBERT VICTOR'S MARRIAGE. There is a good deal of talk currentin En- glish society respecting the delay in marrying off Prince Albert Victor, the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. His royal papa wasa hus- band and father before he had attained to the resent age of his young heir, who is near- ng his Mth birthday. It is whispered that the important event has been postponed owing to Princess Clementine of Belgium for a daughter-in-law. He has more once publicly expressed his inclination for this alliance, but there is a serious stumbling block in the way; the young lady is a Roman Catholic, and cannot, therefore, by the royal marringe act of England, be accepted as a wife of the heir to the throne. Moreover, she is only just 15, so evenif she were inclined to change her religion after the fashion of the royal ladies who marry into the Imperial fam- ily of Russia, sheis still too young for any thoughts of wooing and wedding. She is the 88 child and the darling of er mother, Queen Henrietta, who was an Austrian Arch Duchess and who, like most of the Austrian Princeses is a very highly accomplished and intellectual lady. She has herself superintended the edu- cation of her three daughters, one of whom married Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha; while the second one oe Princess 2 1 ia the wife of the fut Emperor of Austria, Prince Rudolph. is this summer amusi herself with Pri Clementine riding lessons, she lished horsewoman.
