LOUIS CAREER. Orlin Thurston, Fond of Wine, Women and Song, Meglects to Do Business icgiti- mately—Me Pockets Collections in St. ed by the Business Successors of Thur ‘ton—Casine Wine-Eoom Favoerites—A False Start. Orlin Thurston’s departure from St. Louis enjoyed by very many people under his or- ders, for Thurston was the managerof the st. Louls office of the Creditors’ Protective Association and Coliection Bureau. The association is a partnership which in- cludes G. P. Seott, J. C. Youmans, W. N. Pickard and Orlin Thurston, and bas its home in Kansas City. Thurston established the branch bere in January. The method of do- ing business is simple. On the payment of no a frm or individual becomes 4 member, and is furnished with a printed re- port of the namesof delinquent debtors fur- nished by other members, and blank dunning letters. This entities the member to all information in the association's possession for one year. He can have collections made through that medium for a reasonable figure. The scheme is that of all other collection agencies. Thurs- ton had offices in the Emilie Building, Ninth and Olive streets, ani employed sev- eral solicitors and collectors. He secured a number of members, and made many coliec- tions, forgetting frequently to turn over the money received from debtors. He was very gay on this money, buying champagne for the wine-room girls at the Casino. He was very partial to wine-room ris, and ng them Bertha Welisof the asino was a favorite. Bertha isnot among the beautifal but she isfullof that vivacity which makes French handkerchiefs attractive. So the bole in P was largely of Bertha’s making. Ada Peckham and Miss Laura Westiand were in his good ces. Headmired them both immensely. ut Thurston had a charming wife, a little round-faced woman, all earnestness and re- d for ber husband. He brought her from — City and set ber to work in his office in the Emilie o She did not know of his goings on, but did his work often when he was 8H OOTING CORKS at a lively rate. Sue found it out after awhile, and insisted on going to the Casino to see what he found there so attractive. He demurred, and then seeing she was determined asked her to don a suit of his clothes for the excur- offer and went sion. She declined the in her skirts to set in a box all evening and watch the performance. It was the device of George Eliot's woman who went to the tavern to get drunk with ber busband and bis cronies, but it didn’t have the happy ending. Tburs- ton took bis wife home, and returned to the theater, where he met is friends, with whom he spent the night. Mrs. Thurston, learning of this, left for her parents home in Kansas City the next day. Thurston bad in the meantime established a branch office in Belleville, III., where he victimized a number of people of small sums. Arthur E. Helwerich later mourned his departure, for he borrowed Heimerich’s watch and some money. He bought another watch from W. E. Wan- elia, which he gave to Bertha Wells. fie paid no rent for offices and otner expenses were left on the unpaid side of people's books. He leit Belleville on Thureday,July 21, and has not been back since. It was some days later that be wholly deserted St. Louis. While Thurston was pulling the Belleville string W. N. Wolfe came up from Kansas City. He said thatthe association was founded by him, but he had closed out his Kansas city interest and engaged J M. Hunter, who was then in the real estate brokerage business, to find a purchaser for the business Thurston had built 1 in St. Louis. Hunter tound a n purchaser William Beail, formerly of Chicugo. Hunter believed the business to be good, and on Wolfe’s representations talked it up to Beall until the latter thought it a big thing. When, on August 1, the latter bought, he received a dill of sale from Wolfe, who had purchased Thurs- ton’s interest on — 22, the day after the evacuation of Belleville. Shortiy thereafter Thurston and Wolf left the city. E. A. Bishop had been employed in the office since February as asolicitor and col- lector. He had a great deal of faith in Thurs- ton, who, before leaving the city, gave him the watch belonging to Helmrich of Belleville. Wolfe had attended tbe Oasino and had become enamored of a wine- room girl, Kitty L. Vine, whose 80-year-old charms created some interest among the gray- haired patrons of the place. Wolfe announced his intention of going with her to Chicago and on August 2 boarded a ©. 4 A. train ior that city. Onthe same train were Thurston and Bertha Wells, bound for the same place. At least that was what they told Bis oP. The latter said this morning, ‘‘Thurston had Vvallse with him, and 1 thought had bought a ticket for Chicago. I got off the train when it was in motion and Thurston could not have pene beyond East St. Louis, for that evening saw bim in a buggy on Olive street with Miss Ada Peckham.

But he gave me his tickets at the depot without thinking to have me check the baggage, and lsaw they were to Chicago. Thurston really did go to Chicago a few days later with Wells, and returned bere about the 16th. Then he wentto Kansas City, and I have since received a letter informing me he intended going to Oincinnatl. I have learned since they went away that he had an old man with bim at Bellevilie called W. S. Nelson, who was without doubt Wolfe. The old man is slicker than Thurston, and I think the brains of the couple. Thurston is about 2 years old, a er dresser and a favor- ite with women. Was quite popular at Brown's theater on Seventeenth street and Franklin avenue, and spent considerable money among the females. He was well edu- cated, but the only work he had done before goss in the association was farming.

Bishop with him. They now propose to continue the business under a new name, and without 8 connection with the Kansas City persons.

Since then he has been locked up awaiting sentence. The trial developed testimony which pointed to & conspiracy between Mrs. Dinsmore and King to put Davis out of the way, and after the con- viction of King Mrs. Dinsmore was arrested at ll o’clock atnight in her room at the Loomis House, where she was stopping with her daughter Lillian, a girl of 16. Last week the Grand- jury found a true bill against her for being an accessory before the fact, and she is now on trial for her life. THE FAIR ACCUSED. Mrs. Dinsmore is % years of age. She is at- tended by her daughter, Lillian, and her mother, Mrs. Phillips, of Russeliburg, Warren County, Pa., aged 77 years. The story of the killing ie an interesting one. Davis had re- turned from St. Louis where he had been to attempta reconciliation with his wife, who had refused to live with him on account of his infatuation for Mrs. Dinsmore. His mission was unsuccessful. King had supplanted him iu the affections of Mrs. Diasmore and the two men met on the street and had an angry conversation. King went to tne resi- deuce of Mrs. Dinsmore and was soon followed by Davis. A few minutes after the latter en- tered there was a pistoi-shot and Davis was found dead on the floor with a bullet-hole in his eye and King’s pistol behind him. Davis was biind in one eye, and the supposition is that King bad aimed at the def ve eye and fired. Davis had a pistol at the time and Mrs. Dinsmore testified that he had pressed the muzzle against her head, threatening to kill her, and atthe time he was shot he had his body part way through the door, which he was trying to force open to kill King. Ki to the same story, and said he shot defense. The cry was set up by the lawyers that Davis had been inveigled to Mrs. Dinsmore’s house and there taunted into a rage by King and the woman and then deliberately murdered by them together to get possession of his proper- ty, among which was the house in which Mrs. Diosmore lived. There was little evidence to bear out this theory, but the jary found a ver- dict accordingly and Mrs. Dinsmore’s arrest followed. There is a great deal of interest throughout the oil regions in the trial and the court-room is crowded daily. swore self- A BAD HUSBAND. Anna Rose Makes Serious Allegations Against Her August. Anna Rose brought suit in the Cfreuit Court this morning against August Rose, her hus- band, for divorce, alleging that since their marriage in 1883, while she has so demeaned herself as becomes a true and faithful wife the defendant has ignored all the ties of matrimony. and violated his most sacred promises by beating, maltreating and bias- bheming her. On Sunday, the 15th of May, it alleged that he struck her the eye and her to _ bieed profusely; it is further alleged that on June 4 he assanited her again in a most violent manner, and at various other times struck her. He unjustly charges her with in- timacy with other men, and that on August os called ber foul names in the presence of others. For the foregoing reason plaintiff prays for a divorce and the custody of her 3-year-oid boy together with such other relief as the Court may deem prover in the premises.

As near as can be ascertained, the particulars are as follows: Two young men named Jones and Sheppard worked at a saw- mill at Scarcy. They fought about a girl and Sheppard was whipped. Taking the drubbing much to heart, he went tothe house of his father, Berry Sheppard, who resides in Teayasn Val- ley near by, and asked him what he must do. itis reported that his father told him to go and kl Jones.

Mrs. North 8t. Free With Their “Guns,” Anyhow—A De- tective’s Curious Opinicn of Police Mark- manship—Aa Evil That Should Be Cor- rected. The shooting of Tom Goabout, the negro chicken thief, by Police QO@icers Drier and O'Connor, yesterday, appears to have been entirely uncalied-for. It is true the wound is not a dangeFSus one, but It might have been. When a police officer discharges a revolver at a fleeing fugitive there is no telling where the ball will strike. The very fact that they do not intend to kill a man only adds to their chances of doing so. This is police markmanship. Goabout’s death would no doubt be a distinct gain tothe community at large, but this does not justify an officer in shooting him down like a dog. He is a born thief and would probably never stop stealing if be lived to be a thousand years of age. Stealing chickens is a disease with him and he has been giving the police trouble since the time he has been able to walk. While apparently the best-natured negro in the world, he is said to be very treacherous, and ever ready to stab a man in the back or in the dark. He certainly has been in cutting scrapes frequentiy, despite his apparent good nature, and while his lenses have never been great, they have been very numerous, and he has managed to keep the police about as busy a8 any one indi- vidual in the city. CAUSE OF THE SHOOTING. On the 25th of last June Goabout was fined $500 in the Police Court and given hours to leave the city. Lately it was learned that he was here again, and the police have been on the lookout for him. He is said to have been in afight Sunday on Compton Hill, wnere he lives, and to have struck a young man with a stone. Yesterday Officers Drier and O Connor of the Fifth District saw Thomas on Compton, near Park avenue, and claim to bave placed him under arrest, andthat he afterward broke away from them and ran. They gave chase, and, as he was vauiting over a fence, both fired at him. One of the shots took effect in the calf of his left leg. He was taken to the City Dispensary and from there to the City Hospital. His injury is only a flesh wound, butthere appears to have been no oc- casion for inflicting this. The only thing he was wanted for was an old Police Court execa- tion, and even if he did escape the police yes- they could easily have arrested him again, as he is known to the entire department almost and would be sure to frequent his old haunts. He is said to be a pretty good runner, and the officers, rather than do a little running after him, used their weapons. If Goabout had committed murder or some felony of which the officers had post- tive knowledge, they wouid tified in shooting him, were certainly hasty in firing at a man wanted only for a misdemeanor or Police Court judgment. Besides, there is always a certain amountof risk attached to shooting at a fugitive or even shooting to frighten him to a halt, as the ball may strike an innocent person who happens to be in the vicinity. It was only about three years ago that an officer shot at a fugitive on Third and Pine streets, and struck a most estimable young man who happened to be passing. he young man, H Biood, a nephew of Vice-President James How of the Wabash, was laid up in bed for nearly two ears with his injury, and is now maimed for ife. Officers should certainly be more careful in their use of revolvers. . Several members ofthe Police Department were seen this morning in regard to Goabout’s shooting. They all admitted that it was prob- | ably unnecessary, bat gave it as their opin- ion the officers did not intend to hit the man, but merely to stop him. When CHIEF HUEBLER was asked about the matter he replied: Police officers are like everybody else. Same of them are cooi and collected, while others get excited and act hastily. These men probab ot a little excited and may have acted a little hasty. Goabout has the reputa- tion of being a very fast runner, and they did not think they could catch him and therefore fired. His shooting, I think, was purely acci- dental. They did not intend to hit him, but merely to frighten him to a stop.’’ They got pretty close fora mere ‘scare’ shot, did they not?’ Les, but when aman is running and ex- cited he is apt to shoot very wide of his mark. Goabout is a very bad negro who has been a source of great annoyance to the police for ears, and they did not want to lose him. He 8 always stealing and you can’t stop him.

Of course, officers should be very careful in using their weapons, but, like other people, they will ‘lose their heads’ sometimes. If they wanted to kill that negro I have no doubt they could have done so. They willbeup before the Board, how- ever, and the matter investigated.’’ A DETECTIVE’S VIEW. Said a detective, in speaking of the affair: An officer should be very careful in using his pistol, and never shoot unless absolutely necessary. I have no doubt, however, that these officers did not intend to hit Goabout, but tried to shoot up in the air.’’ Tour idea of police marksmanship is that aby > 3 1 A ps Bn up in the air e hits the fugitive he intends to frighten, the calf of the leg?’’ * * the average officer is very apt to do a * THE EXPOSITION, Gilmore Changes His Date Arrival of Frames and Pictures.

Doesn't he know that 40,000 farmers out in Ohio could not pay their taxes last year, and were sold out by the Sheriff? George can’t hooiwink the farmers. They can never understand his theories.

Srracuse, August 19.—The Committee on Platform of the United Labor Convention held a long session last night, resulting in the retention of the Clarendon Hall platform on which Henry George made his canvass for Mayor of New York. A variety of propositions were submitted, and the batch was divided énto three parts, one going into the waste basket, the second being referred to the Committee on Resolutions as not pertaining to plat- form, und the third being handed over to Henry George, who presided,for his consider- ation. There are three avowed Socialists on the platform committee. After the exclusion of Socialistic delegations yesterday, besides the New York rejected delegates, two of the delegates from the Twelfth New York City Dis- trict, and six from Onondaga County, besides a number of individuals from various locali- ties, vacated their seats in the convention. Active efforts are being put forth by the So- cialists to organize anew party in which they will have co-operation of active anti-George influences. A NEW MOVE.

At the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court, Mr. Register Parry had before him the affairs of Robert Dell, Jr., at St. Peter’s Vicarage House, Bristol street, Birming- ham, gentleman, whose debts were £473 and assets £15. The bankrupt said he had lately been a student at Oxford. His father had paid the necessary college fees and allowed him about £230a year, out of which he had to pay college bills, the annual college fees, and all his expenses for main- tenance, etc., which was insufficient. The consideration received for the debts was tobacco, flowers, toilet (scent, soaps, etc.), clothing, hire of vehicles, boots, music, wines, pictures, groceries, coufectionery, photographs, Mr and jewelry. e was bound to admit that he was justified in incurring most of these expenses. They were photographs of the principal actors and actresses of the day, weren’t they? Bankrupt, some of them. He had borrowed money to spend on amuse- ments, I was living in London,“ he added, ‘‘and spent it in boxes at the theater, and dinners, and things. It was nat borrowed with the knowledge of my father. I did not borrow it with the actual intention of spending it in that . 1 had no money at the time I was in Lon- don.” The total amount he had borrowed from a Mr. Jay was £80. Thirty pounds had been repaid, leaving a balance of £50, and Jay’s proof was £1 He had been charged 12s. 6d. for a walking stick and 19s. for a sponge. He also paid exorbitant ices for his clothing. The Register said e believed that no olass had such facili- ties held out to them for borrow-. in money as colliegians. He had not much sympathy for the cred- itors in this case. The examination was concluded, the bankrupt stating that his father had offered a composition of 58. in the pound, but the creditors refused it. Lecturing a Husband.

LOUIS SPRINKLING COMPANY EXPLAINS. He Says That Any Default in His Contracts Is Due to the Neglect of Disobedient Wants to Do His Duty to the City — Commissioner Turner Says That's What Must Be Done. Superintendent Dave Josephs of the St. Louis Improved Street Sprinkling Company called at the Street Commissioner’s office early this morning. If he called for consola- lation his visit was fruitiess. While the sprinkling bill was pending in the Mun‘cipal Assembly no man in St. Louis was more conf- dent that the plan would never be carried out. He was so confident that he was ‘ready to back his opinion with his money. The course of events has shown that Mr. Josephs’ judgment was wrong. He is a part owner of the company which has the benefit of his supervision in sprinkling the streets of the central part of town, and was not In the dark in his predictions of the failure of the Post-DISPATCH to carry the plan into op- eration. He was prophesying according to his lights, and the disappointing outcome can only be accounted for by the fact that his lights changed. This morning he stated that he had called to inquire as to the truth of the statements which appeared in the Post-DIs- PATCH last evening to the effect that the work done by his company was unsatisfactory. It such a statement was made, suggested the Street Commissioner, it is true. ne in- spectors have reported that the contracts of your company have not been carried out as spécified. Mr. Josephs threw himself on the mercy 0 the Commissioner. He appealed to recoilection of his fidelity in the past, and the improbability of his default in the instances under consider- ation. The Commissioner said he could not discriminate in the premises. If the FAILURE TO COMPLY with the terms of the contract was by order of the officers of the company or resulted — from the 1 of one of its employes it amounted to the same thing to the city. ‘‘How | can it be helped?“ was Mr. Josephs’ troubled query. ‘‘Oh, easy enough,’’ replied the Com- missioner. ‘‘At the end ofthe month when the work is to be paid for will have a settie- ment. Mr. Josephs wanted to know how a few men could manage to report pre erly on 270 miles of streets. Col.

After some further talk Mr. Josepha left without receiving any consolation. Street Commissioner Turner to-day addressed a ietter to Mayor Francis embodying the following statements: LEARNING A LESSON. **T solicit — good offices with the fiscal officers of the city, Comptroller and Auditor, to permit the disbursement of money from the street-sprinkling appropriation for the keep- ing of a horse foreach of the officers having charge of the supervision of this work. It is not necessary to illustrate how much more ef- ficient a man who bas, say sixty miles of streets to look after, would be mounted over a man on foot. In fact, the authorized superintendency of that work now isa burlesque. It is effective so far as it goes, as the inspectors seem to be taking great in- terest in this work, but the result of our labors is very much like sticking a haif-dozen pins in a big round apple and assuming we have cov- ered the entire surface. Unquestionably man streets will be left unsprinkied, some throug accident and others through neglect or design, and this will occur con- stantly. For every omission we detect a corresponding deduction willbe made in the monthly vouchers. have no doubt that the deductions that can be made in consequence of the discoveries we will make through the additional facilities afforded by our men being mounted will much more than pay forthe keeping of horses. It is safe to predict that the operatien will be actually a money-saving one.Our work this fall must be cOnsidered ex- perimental; hence we wish to discover all facts possible.

The complaints re- golvod atthe office at the City Hall are re- ferred to the district inspectorsfor their in- vestigation and report. The Street Commis- sioner expresses the opinion that in a few days the system willbe in general operation, and that little difficulty will be encountered in enforcing the specifications of the contracts. Curious Hysterical Epidemic. British Medical Journal. A curious outbreak of convulsionist mania, analogous to those which occurred from time to time during the middle ages, has shown itself at Agosta, in the Prov- ince of Rome. For some weeks past the country people have been laboring under the delusion that the district is under the immediate government of the Evil One, and before retiring to rest they carefully place on the threshold the broom and the salt, which are credited with the power of keeping off evil spirits. any of the younger women have epileptiform attacks, during which they utter piercing shrieks and are violently convulsed. So serious had the condition of things be- come thatthe Syndic of Agosta found it necessary to inform the Prefect, who sent detachments of soldiers into the district in order to calm the apprehensions of the inhabitants. As a natural consequence of this condi- tion of mental perturbation the country is overrun with 838 who claim to possess the only infallible remedy for the seizures. One of these nostrums, the vender of which was making a rich har- vest from its sale, was found on analysis to consist of earth, snuff and borax. Three medical men who were commissioned to investigate the cause and nature of this extraordinary affection came to the con- — that it wasan epidemic of hys- teria. They examined a number of the suffer- ers, mostly youn women, some of whom were alleged to have vomited nails, horse- shoes, and other equally indigestible sub- stances, while others bark like dogs. Several of them were removed to Rome for treatment in the hospitals there, and measures have been taken to check the spread of the mischief. In a milder degree this contagious form of hysteria is not infrequent, especially in laces where ignorance and superstition avor manifestations of nervous disorder. The worst excesses of popular outbreaks, like the French Revolution, have been every appearance of justice. A Rat Stery, Funny as Well as Singular. From the Danbury News.

Let us now purseed to bisness.’’ Sir Isaac Walpole asked to be heard on a personal matter, and when leave was granted he said he appeared as a messen- ger of mercy. Atthe meeting two weeks ago Sinful Smith, a young and tender member of the lod e, submitted a poem in competition for the midsummer prize. In his innocence of heart he had copied it from Shakspeare. When the poem was read the president suspended Sinful from the lodge for three months and fined him $4,000. The steal was a heinous offence and the r seemed just, but the angel of mercy was pleading. Sinful was a broken and contrite man. He had done nothing but grieve and lament since his downfall. is appetite was gone and his health going. He would lie for hours at a time on the grass in the back yard, and his wife could not arouse him, even when she whispered that ey were to have chicken for' supper. Sir Isaac believed in enforcing all rules and bylaws, but was it not possible for the President to condone this, the brother’s first offense, and give him 2 opportunity to prove his worthi- ness Waydown Bebee and Elder Toots and Pickles Smith also spoke to the same effect, and Brother Gardner said: **T will remit de fine an’ suspension, an’ restore Sinful to his posishun, but let dis be asad warnin’ to you all. What we doan’ know we doan’ propose to steal from somebody else.“ ; Women and Society. Lilian Whiting in Times-Democrat. Just why some people regard it as a complimentary assertion to say of a woman that she cares nothing for society isnotcleartome. True, the opposite of this assertion also carries weight in certain circles, but many of the more thoughtful people hold social graces in slight esteem. Yet society is, in its true sense, the finest of the fine arts in that it includes and pre- supposes every other. n this higher sense no woman can be prominently asociety woman who has not a liberal share of thatculture which isthe fine infloresence, the unmistakable flavor, one may say, of familiarity with books, with art and with life. The elasticity and the unwearied sympathy requir for general social life amounts to little less than genius, and the adverse criticisms often made regarding women who are devoted to society are usually either touched with malice or with silliness. Of course, the term society is an inclusive one with a great variety of significances. That purely of the fashionable monde need not disturb any one, as they who are in it are under no compulsion to remain there unless they enjoy it, and those who are not in it need regard it with no envy. Many people delight in being enevidence. They take pleasure in costuming, in see- ing and be seen, and they take especial pleasure in the conviction that they are the admired and, perhaps, envied by those whose lines of life were in a differ- ent fashion. Mr. Edgar Fawcett introduces in one of his silhouettes the woman who accepted invitations, not because she in the least enjoyed the festivities they repre- sented, but because she wish to be seen at certain pace. If a life te be chained to a drearier martyrdom than that one might wonder what it could be. But when all is said, it is better to be a little absurd or a great deal bored than it is never to go out of ourselves at all. The woman who does not find some spark of thought struck from social con- tact, even at a miscellaneous and crowded reception, is to be commiserated. The woman who does not find an enlarge- ment of her sympathies as the inevitable result of casual meetings had better read the xiv. chapter of the el of St. John, and pray to heaven that she take its di- vine meaning into her life. Indeed, is it uite clear that one had not better care or soci that is somewhat mediocre and i rather than to care for no society at Strategy of a Clever Bulldog. From the Norwich Bulletin.

What the Contributions Mean—The Value of Donations to the Needy—A Last Long, Strong Pull to Place the Families Beyond Want—The Day’s Subscription. It has turned out very much as the Post- DISPATCH stated last night. The firemen who died Wednesday, the 10th, at their post of duty have not been entirely forgotten. To many it may have seemed otherwise several duys this week when only scattering sums came in for the families’ fund, but those who have stood close to the St. Louis public before when private suffering was to be relieved, knew that allthe people needed was a little awakening. It was not negleet or cold indif- ference, but simply forgetfulness born of the engrossing nature of these busy times. As- suming this to be so, the Post-D1sPaTcCH last evening asked the public if it wasn’t so; asked them if they did not still appreciate bravery and self-sacrifice in the performance of duty; asked them if they were deaf to the laments of widow and child; asked them if there was not yet a debt of gratitude still due to the fire- men forthe property and the lives they have saved at the risk of their ownlife. These questions were asked last night; to-day the answer may be inferred from the generous subscriptions which have come in. THE NEED OF HELP. Although the addition of the day is large = there is need of more. t the time of the death of the firemen there were a dozen per- sons depending solely upon their wages for support. Now, these props have been ruth- lessly knocked away by cruel walls, and upon the public alone can these stricken persons now lean. The several thousands to which the fund now amounts are atribute.to the gen- erosity of the givers, but in keeping the twelve persons out of want the will soon be exhausted. This money is asked, not fora silent statue or a mute monument, but to give brightness to ey~-s dulled by weeping, to give color to cheeks blanched by the whiten- ing wand of grief, and to make sorrow give lace to hupeful submission. In accomplish- ng these results, as noble as angels ever achieved, each subscriber to the fund will have a share. THE FUND TO CLOSE. The fund will not be kept open after to-mor- row. The receipts of to-morrow will wind up the Posr-Disrarcu fund. But twenty-four hours are between the present opportunity of giviog and the closing ef the book, and the ap- preciation of the happiness which will grow out of a large or small gift, will doubtless in- crease the number of donors at the last hour.

A Norwich naturalist who was out for birds a day or two ago became imbued with the Napoleonic idea that he could route a whole colony of wasps at a blow. He was not long in finding a stone and put- ting it through their paper nest; and the wasps were not long in finding him. The first tickled him right over the left eye, and so absorbed his attention that he could not tell where the rest struck him. His legs and arms worked like the bars in a threshing machine, and he rolled on the earth like an ant-eater assailed by bees. When he thought he had rolled three miles, he felt himself drop several feet, and then he struck a stump and stopped. For a moment he couldn’t decide what to do. He couldn't tell whether it were bet- ter to lie still or getup. Oneeye was en- tirely out of use, but he cautiously un- covered the other eye and viewed his sur- roundings. He was pocketed between an offset wall and a tree, and the wasps had not been able to follow his trail. He was not looking for them. He felt that home would be more congen- ial to him, and went atonce. But he car- ried an eye with him that no one looked upon with envy. The inflamed eyelid protruded like a gall upon an oak leaf, and had more fire in it than a toy pistol. He hasn’t had time to investigate to see what became of the wasps. He hasn’t had time, t, to make that eye look respectable. ut he has thought a little upon the sub- ject of wasps, and says: Darn a wasp! ee it, but never try to go it one better! For you can't!“ A FREAK OF NATURE. Four Kittens Trying to Emulate the Siamese Twins. From the Providence Journal. Frank Barker, the night engineer at the Narragansett Hotel, is the possessor of a litter of kittens which can well claim a front rank among the freaks of nature, The kittens were born on Wednesday morning and are a part of a litter of six, the two common, ordinary every-day kittens having died on Friday morning.

In this race, GrEorGE willreach the goal of wealth considerably ahead of his enthusiastic adherents. Tue Universal Peace Union is now in session in New London, Conn. The object ofthe Union is to abolish wars from the face of the earth, and to substitute arbi- tration and international courts. The Union should begin the practical part of its mission by persuading Foraker and JOHN SHERMAN to disarm and abandon their attempts to stir up anotner civil war. : * * a - n.. Unitkp IRELAND gives the Irish land- lords some excellent advice when it urges them to fraternize with the National League, instead of clamoring for its sup- pression. Since home rule is bound to come, the landlords should accept the in- evitable, no matter how unpalatable it maybe. Perhaps they may learn to like it in the course of time. They should help in shaping the course of inevitable re- forms, instead of blindly fighting them to the bitter end. a ——, _— e THE very serious charge is made against Commissioner Swirzizr that he shows his contempt for the law by inquiring into the politics of the successful contestants at the civil-service examinations, and 8e- lecting for appointment only those who are known to be Democrats. It this charge should be proved against him, it would justify his immediate removal from office, and in fact it would earn for him the contempt ofall honest men. There is some manbood in an open defiance of the * civil-service regulations, which is sadly lacking in an official who, pretending to obey the law. would misuse his power to cheat successful competitors out of their fairly earned promotions and appoint- ments. a WW YORK LABOR PARTIES. The United Labor convention of the State of New York, representing all the adherents of the Henry George land the- ory, is now in session at Syracuse. A few weeks ago the Union Labor party, which repudiates the anti-poverty idea, held its State convention at Rochester. The latter convention. was animated with the hope that the Union Labor party would be able to co-operate in many things with the United Labor party and to unite on & State ticket, in spite of certain radi- cal points of difference between the two factions. With this object in view a com- mittee of fifteen was appointed to visit the Syracuse convention and seek a con- ference for the purpose of devising some plan of united action. The committee thus chosen presented themselves at Sy- racuse yesterday and were promptly in- formed that the convention could not treat with them. This means that the Henry George faction will not recognize any other labor organization, and will re- ceive recruits only as individuals. Of course the more conservative Union La- bor party will maintain its organization intact. The Syracuse incident is very significant in showing that there are to be two distinct labor parties, one of them upholding the anti-poverty fantasy and the other rejecting it. It is worthy of note, also, thatthe contesting Socialistic delegations that applied for admission to the Syracuse convention were ruled out. Neither of the two labor parties wants the Socialists, who are thus forced into a condition of political isolation. It can- not be yet determined whether they are prepared to organize and maintain a Socialistic party. The organization of the labor vote of New York State is especially menacing to the Democratic party, which draws its main numerical strength from the ranks of workingmen; but two la- bor parties will not poll as many votes as one; and among the old politicians there is much quiet chuckling at the an- gry dissensions which prevent a compact union of all the labor elements. — . —ä— 0 Two MEMBERS of the police force were yesterday guilty of the outrage of at- tempting to murder a vicious negro for the crime of refusing to halt when called on. The offense for which the negro was wanted was a misdemeanor; he was not resisting the police; he was not engaged in any criminal act; yet he was shot at with as little mercy as if he had been a wild beast, and it was only accident which prevented his murder. It is to be hoped that the Board of Police Commis- sioners will deal severely with this out- rage and teach the policemen that their commission to protect life and property gives them no warrant for auy wanton killing of their fellow human beings. oe — mn A SPEAKER at the Pennsylvania Repub- lican Convention denounced CLEVELAND for being off on a fishing excursion on Memorial Day, but no evidence has been brought forward to prove that he fished on that day, and for aught that we know he might have celebrated the dayin a proper manner in spite of his secluded surroundings. The President has done some things which deserve censure, but to rail at him for the manner in which he chooses tospend a national holiday is to exhibit a sample of partisan fault-finding that is beneath contempt. _ Iris true that the Prohibitionists are not as numerous as the Labor voters who have abandoned the old political parties; but they are compactly united into one party and have a distinct purpose in view. For this reason it is probable that those who have most to fear from the Prohibitionists will under-estimate their power, while the strength of the Labor vote will be inversely proportional to the number of Labor parties. The Labor or- ganizations need more harmony and less oratory. enn i — Ae. + * Pot) ; MURDEROUS DEED Born a Comanche, Captured | by the Oneampahgre Utes— | Skin a Bern Dead-Shot, Th Beggar and Glutton—Cowa Red Raseal—His hrutal 1 White Women—Colorow’'s_ The White River Agency Ma Bv Telegravh to the “sT-Disratcr.

As the checkin his own name on the First National Bank. Then he called upon Fegan, the furniture dealer, and purchased $300 worth of goods on the installment plan, giving another check on the same bank in part payment. Next he archased $75 worth of crockery from James Ford, by the same device. At Jacob Shoon- maker’s livery stableon Van Houten street, he gave a $5 check in payment of a livery Dill, When these checks were presented at the bank they were found to be worthless, and the dealers made all haste to recover the goods, in whieh all were successful. Spikers was the only one who took any action against young Hastings. When ar- rested Hastings took the matter very coolly and offered no objectious to accompanying the officers. He made no denial of his guilt, but seemed to think that he would come out allright. His wife was prostrated and was hurried offto her room, where restoratives were applied. The guests were panic- stricken at first, but recovered their compos- ure, and left the house quietly. Tne wedding feast remained untouched, and instead of re- posing in a bridal chamber, last night, young Hastings lay on a hard couch in the Passaic County jail. {Squire Joralamon came to Pater- son immediately after the prisoner, and secured Garrett Van Nimwegan as a bonds- man, but was unable to find Recorder Greaves before whom it is necessary to furnish security. Young Hastings is at present in the employ of a New York firm. THE CONFEDERATE REUNION. Crushed to Death — A Poisoner’s Trial— Farmers’ Alliance—Texas Topics.

FOURTEEN -ALDERMEN FOR THE CITY IN THE FUTURE. Flannigen’s Books and the Sensation They Are Likely to Create—That Judgment Levy—Notes and Personals. At the last session of the Legislature a law was enacted which is of great interest to this city, although no one here as yet has become aware of the special local importance attached to it. The law is in relation to elections and is an act toamend an act entitled, Au act to provide for the incorporation of cities and villages.’’ Section 7 of the act, which is the one of _ § special interest to East St. Louis, is in relation to the election of aldermen and provides that in cities having a population of over 10,000 four- teen aldermen shall be elected. According to the new directory being compiled by Mr. Charles Carroll the population of this city will de in the neighborhood of 18,000, and hence ifthe section applies to East 8t. Louis, this city will be entitled to fourteen Aldermen in- stead of eight, the number elected now under the special charter. That it does apply to this city there can be no doubt. When last fall the citizens dy a large majority adopted the new election law, they abro- gated that part of . the charter in relation to elections, and hence any new general law in regard to elections must Dé ap- licable here, as in this respect East St. Louis s under the general law and not a special charter. As there are four wards in the city the new law entitles each to a representation of three members in the Board of Aldermen and the assignment of the other two will doubtless result in a test of the legality of the annexation of New Brighton, as the Council will be foreed to meke a new ward out of the village. The next election occurs here in the spring, and instead of electin four aldermen—four of the present Board holding over—the citizens will have an opportunity of electing ten. With this number of Councilmen to be chosen it can safely be predicted at this early date that coe 1 — election will be the liveliest. ever e ere. Flannigen’s Books. Experts Delaneyand Wittig have finished their examination of ex-Treasvurer Flannigen’s books and made their report to the Council. It has been learned that on the strength of the report both criminal and civil action will soon be instituted against the ex-Treasurer. As the Council approved all of Mr. Fiannigen’s report it has been generally thought that prosecution would be futile, but the members of the Coun- cil Committee, under the auspices of which the examination was made, state that they are confident that when the evidence is brought to the 1 of the court some remedy will be obtained. That Levy. Yesterday Mayor Stephens and the Alder- men were served with subponas to appear before the United States Court in Springfield and show cause why peremptory writs of mandamus should not be issued for a levy of $75,000 to per udgments on bonds with inter- est, held by Ephraim Hopkins, Oliver Tidwell, H. Amey ona Gustave Hopkins. In case the reasons advanced by the c officials are considered sufficient to 7 an order for such a * , the city will certainly be embar- rassed financially, as this * together with a levy of $38,000 which has already been or- dered, would make $118,000 to be collected by special assessment. Notes. Wm. Mills, son of Hugh Mills, the well- known stockman, died yesterday at Salem. E. G. Ramsey, assistant cashier of the East St. Louis Bank, has resigned. Mr. Charles Deems will likely be appointed to fill the va- cancy. Miss Cullen, a young lady residing near the stock yards, while walking from Abraham Barr’s candy and fruit store at the b @ ap- proach to the stand of the stock-yurd ‘buses yesterday lost a pocket- book containing $20. The City Council failed to meet yesterday, for want of a quorum, and hence the ex- pected split did not occur, It is the general opinion to-day that Aldermen Russell and Egan have concluded to remain in the fold o the administration party. ° Richard Rowlett, a boy 8 years old, whose arents reside in the First Ward, while play- ng with several companions this morning on the roof of a in the course of erection, 80 feil through chit to the second floor and : broke both his Ss.

Gratiot, the well-known Chel- tenham physician, met with an accident this morning that may cost him his life.

A robbery which the police have been keep- ing very quiet occurred at an early hour last Tuesday morning. Monday night, John . Marshall, who keeps a livery stable at No. 2627 Olive street, and his brother, Merritt H. Marshall, Jr., were out with a young man named William Spencer, an old acquaintance. When it became time to retire they invited Spencer home with them to spend the night. The young man accepted, but — up easly in the morning before either of the brothers awoke. one was acquainted with the keysof the stable and safe inside, and took the office and safe off the rings of the brothers, taking both of their keys. Then he went down bright and early in the morning with one of the brothers, and while Marshall was openi up the stable Spencer opened the office and the safe. Taking out the money drawer he extracted from it $220 im cash which it contained, and threw the drawer and a lot of bills and * papers which were in it in one of the stalle After emptyi the rear of the stable. the drawer of its money, Spencer lost no the in making his escape. arshall missed him and immediately afterward discovered the and safe open.

It may be safely asserted, says a writer in the Epoch, that seven, if not eight, of every ten young ladies would be improved fifteen pounds to their weight. Now, in most cases where the want of plumpness is not the result of positive disease callin for medical treatment, these extra pounds —beauty pounds they might be called be- cause they add the finishing touch to beauty—may be easily acquired ina few months by cutting out the following hints and pasting them on the mirror, where they may be daily seen and heeded: The famous Mr. Banting, who reduced his weight by more than fifty pounds in one year, found that sugar was the most fattening thing that he could eat. Hence, toincrease your weight eat cakes, pud- dings, syrup, honey, candy. and pastr always taking care that it be —— digestible, for indigestible food is the chief cause of leanness. New England pie- crust is probably responsible for the appearance of the typical gaunt ankee. Other fattening articles of food are tender lamb, salmon and eels, milk and cream, cornbread and but- ter, and those vegetables which un- der ground, and of which sugar is made beets, turnips, etc. Boiled or baked po- tatoes, mashed on the plate and seasoned with salt and fresh butter, make a deli- cious dish rapidly fattening. Eat often and very slowly, ior is it not the quantity that is eaten, but the amount that is — th ee digested, that nourishes the rounds the bodily contour. Bismarck’s private physician, Dr. ai repu- e Schweninger, owes his internation tation to his success in diminishin Chancellor’s weight. The secret of his method is never to allow his tient to drink with his meals, or if he does drink, to do so very sparingly. Hence follows the converse rule, that if you covet stout- ness you should drink freely with your meals, always, however, in such a way as not to interfere with th cesses. That is, you should never drink while you have food in the mouth, for the f ought to be moisten by the saliva alone. Ice-water, too, should be always avoided. It chills the stomach and is the cause of three-fourths of the indigestion and consequent leanness prev- alent in this country e digestive pro- Mountain tourists know that ice-water never quenches the thirst, yet we con- stantly spoil our water by putting in ice. The ice should never be allowed to come in contact with the water we drink, but only with the outside of the pitcher. In this way we avoid also the danger from microbes hiding in impure icq. food as much as beef, the — Air is difference being that beef is assimilat in the stomach, air in the lungs.

Then no one wanted it an the poor old market was kicked and cuffed about by the bears at their own sweet will. The demand was better this morning,the cheap rates drawing in some buyers, who thought it was low enough and a reaction was due. Though cables told about the same old dull story, yet the export movement heid up, re- ceipts at winter wheat markets still falling off and the next visible seemed shaping for another decrease. The new spring wheat crop is not moving yet, either, and there are some reports that it will be delayed through the late wet weather in the Northwest. That there were some friends of the cereal was shown dy the class of buyers. There was a considerable amount for sale, as there is a certain crowd in the pit that believe in much lower prices even than the present and are eager sellerg on every show they get. Hence, with Chicago * down some at the opening, ammered the local market down lec from yesterday at lo clock. It subsequent- ty swung along quietly and with little change, though stiffening up on better cables and re- coveries elsewhere. The close, too, was firm, though 4@%c below yesterday. Spot grades, while off in price (No. 2 red tec lower), were fir and in demand at the decline. City millers bought more and with some show of competition, No. 2 being still taken by car- riers also.

There was littie, if any, confidence felt and the only buyers were a few shorts. Local traders generally believe ina corn crop as large as lust year’s and trade ac- cordingly. The Cincinnati Price Cur- rent’s estimate of a crop less than 1, 500 ,000 ,000 bu is laughed atas ridicuious. As other markets held up, the demand increased, the late strength shown by wheat adding to the firmness, and the ciose was Wale above yesterday.

American Fish Merchants Defend Admiral Lace’s Recent Action. PORTLAND, Me., August 19.—The action taken by Admiral Luce of the North Atlantic squadron in regard to the fishery question by distributing circulars among the fishing fleet in the Gulf of st. Lawrence, is a subject of much discussion among the fish merchants here. „in issuing those queries between himself and Capt. Sontt of the Canadian fishery, the Admiral has been guided solely by a desire to aid American fishermen,’’ said one of the erchants to the correspondent, ‘‘and it was by this means only that our captains could learn how the Canadians regard the treaty stipulations of 1818.’’ ne of the largest firms in Portland, in con- nection with the American fishing trade, is that of Cushing & McKenney. In speaking of Ad- miral Luce’s circular issued and his action taken while on a recent visit along the Cana- dian coast, a representative of Cushing & Mo- Kenney said: *‘We had hoped to see an ami- cable settlement of all questions relating to the Canadian fisheries long ere this, and as the season is drawing to 4 close and nothing apparently is being done on the part of the State Department towards an adjustment of the matter, we be- to grow weary of the whole affair. We eink ft commendabie in Admiral Luce that he submitted the questions to Capt. Scott on mat- ters connected with the fisheries, thereby hoping to throw some light on the question — enable our fishermen to obtain informa- tion which should have emanated from an- other source.’’ MISLUCE REPRESENTED. Mr. O. B. Whitten was asked if he had seen the criticisms of the conduct of Admiral Luce in giving instructions to the fishermen. ‘TYes,’’ replied Mr. Whitten, ‘‘and the fish merchants feel that Admiral Luce’s conduct has been misrepresented by the Halifax and other papers. When the North Atlantic uadron was in the harbor, the fish mer- chants of Portland held a consultation with Admiral Luce. All were in doubt as to the attitude of Canada this year. No seizure had been made and the Canadians had not shown their hand. Some of our captains would report that they had been allowed courtesies in Canadian bar- bors, while others, seeking similar favors, had been warned away by the authorities. We were inclined to believe that our treatment this year was to be less severe; that our cap- tains in running into a portfor a night’s sbelter would not be compelled to go a dozen or twenty miles and lose a day’s time to report at a custom-bouse. They did not now just what interpretation the Canadians would put upon the word ‘repairs’ in the treaty, or whether the masters of the Dominion cruisers were authorized to enter and clear fishing vessels in a port, as customs officers are authorized to do. Admiral Luce very readily and very kindly volunteered to ascertain these points for us. We made out a list of questions, the same list that has been published, and Admiral Luce took them with him. He saw Capt. Scott, and obtained answers which, with few exceptions, covers the oints on which we were in doubt. The in- ormation was such as we ourselves and our captains were much inneed of. We know now just what the Canadians intend to do.’’ Mr. Whitten is one of the directors of the American Fish ery Union, and has done a great deal of work at Washington and in the Westin the way of bringing the condition of the fish- eries to favorable public attention. He was one of the merchants who met Admiral Luce when the questions which the Admiral subse- quently put to Capt. Scott were drawn up. 1,000 Clocks $1.20 to $100.

THE “WHITE CAPS.” A Shameful State of Affairs in Several In- diana Counties. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August 19.—A gentle man who has been prominently identified with Orange County affaf®s for years is in the city and gives a terrible picture of the reign of fear in Orange, Crawford and Harrison Coun- ties, owing to the lawless White Cap’’ or- ganization. As he started for home yesterday, he met an honest and well-to-do farmer who was hurrying away from home with his family, and such ot his effects as he could carry, impelled by the ‘‘White Caps,’’ who had made an assault on him, and who threatened him with death if he did not leave the county. His premises had been plun- dered by the outlaws, and he was frightened nearly to death. The informant stated that no one could conceive of the condition of af- fairs without actual experience. Some idea of the general fear whicli prevails may be had from the fact that the gentleman is here to urge upon the Governor the necessity of call- ing out the militia, butin giving information of the outrages asks that his name be omitted in the publication of facts.
