Lonpon, August 26.—The last attack on the lamation of the League only recalled at ng intervals the famous home-rule debate. jt bad nothing striking or sensational of its own to show in matter or manner. The House jooked thin from the absence of 80 many mem- pers. Parnell was not present and Dillon did pot arrive in time t® hear Gladstone, because the Irish mail was late. The general weari- ness of the discussion may be judged from the fact that going out toward the close of Glad- gtone’s epeech, I found on the river terrace of the House quite a number of members, Liberals as well as Conservatives, quietly smoking and entertaining ladies at tea. Considering the fact that Gladstone was making an im- portant speech, this was very remarkable. Gladstone looked well, wore his usual flower, and spoke with great animation. He was in admirable temper and high spirits; his voice, husky at first, soon cleared. The speech, however, isnot regarded as among ‘his great efforts. INSULTED BY BALFOUR. Balfour, who did much better, was rude almost to being insulting to Gladstone per- gonally in one case, when he declared that Gladstone had falsely said something. Glad- stone exclaimed that it was not the usual language. Balfour apologized, adding that what he meant was that the accusation could not be sustained. The weakness of his argument was that so much of i rested upon what would have become known as official anecdotes, that is, the statement of alleged facts from official sources which the Government will not lay on table in the form of parllamentary pa- pers, which, therefore, can not be subjected to investigation or disproof. The truth is, the principles involved in the National League and its suppression have been discussed till everybody is more than familiar with them. The most effective kind of speech on the sub- jectis Harcourt’s slashing humorist vein, in which he will doubtless score heavily to- night. Chamberlain will vote against the Govern- ment, but willnot speak. Churchill has re- turned to vote with the Government on his way to Scotland. Perhaps as many as fifty Liberals altogether will join the National League, but the policy which approves itself to the more cautious among them is prefer- Able, Viz.: to support it by subscription and conidence only. The markets are steady. — — ——-— THE PROCLAMATION DEBATE. Gladstone Against Balfour—RKussen's Incon- sistency—The Government's Weakness, Bpecial Cablegram to the Fost-Dispatch. Loxpon, August 26.—The debate on the proclamation of the League was interesting rather from the manner In which it was carried on than from matter presented. A strong per- sonality, as history shows, often throws a glamor of righteousness over the most unjust cause. But justin proportion as the cause of the Conservatives lost by contrast with the principles of liberty and freedom put forth from the opposition branches, so did it lose by contrasting the caliber of ite leaders with the sturdy stamina of the men who were heard de- ploring the fatuſty of Her Majesty's Government asindicated by their latest measure for the co- ercionand repression of Ireland. The sight of Mr. Balfour and Mr. Gladstone pitted against one another was enough to make Angela weep. It did succeed, however, in provoking laughter on the part of the specta- tors in the galleries. In answer tothe im- passioned protest of the Parliamentary Nestor against the proclamation of the League, the Chief Secretary, who is a dandified looking young man with the artificial enunciation of a High Church curate, rose to respond. When his remarks were concluded, and the Howse adjourned for the dinner hour, there was only a vague impression in the minds of those who had carefally followed his Verbal meanderings, that from information pecullar to himself there were some 5,000 per- Sons under the ban of boycott in Ireland, and thatthe had read some extracts from League organs which tended to showthat the most titimable portion of society which practiced tus highly respective profession of land-grab- were not received with open arms by true dad patriotic Irishmen. During the dinner hour many wondered why, it there were so many cases of intimidation, Mr. Balfour, with tue immense power given him by the crimes &ctsome four weeks ago, had not prosecuted more than two persons for the offense, one of Which charges, in spite of the castle machin- ery and the splendid mendacity of subservi- eut oficials, had not been made good. | HARRINGTON’S HIT. Mr, Harrington, who followed, spoke calm- and convineingly. Several of the alleged Sates of boycotting laid by the Chief Secretary ab the door of the National League he dis- Proved, and he undertook, if time were but &'ven him, to prove that those, just as all the Other instances of alleged intimidation, had no More solid foundation than the unhealthy ination of the young gentleman to whose 8 hands and narrow mind the Govern- ut ot Ireland had been intrusted. — Mr. Buchanan, Libéral-Unionist, fol- “(with a speech in which he sald that he * no longer go with the Government.

M RUSSELL’S REMARKS. — Russell, the member from South Ty- ‘ followed in a nervous and insincere Charging the National League with advanees thereat... Christian, King George of Greece and several Government, which already was sorely in canny voice that he had spoken fully one and and a half hours before the opposition awoke to the fact that not only was he firing the same old muzzie-loading musket that Mr. Balfour has shouldered, but that he was actually using the same kind of birdshot in the shape of newspaper clippings with which that gentleman had hoped to bring down human game. The Solicitor-General was, how- ever, not In the least disconcerted by his misadventure, but kept on amusing the House by mispronouncing Irish names and exhibit- ing with pride his profound ignorance of Irish affairs. But the House will always bear with a witty speaker such as Mr. Robertson is. The temperature of the Treasury bench grat- ually rose, and when Mr. Robertson sat down the Government appeared quite happy in the idea that it was safe from another attack. This notion, however, turned out to be the most egregious error. Bradlaugh rose and informed the House of the English origin of boycott. He related how certain members of his family suffered from its effects. THE GOVERNNMENT’S WEAK EVIDENCE. Then came one of the principal speeches of the evening, namely that of Mr. Thomas Power O'Connor. With irresistible logic he laid bare the poverty of tbe arguments, and the unsatisfactory evidence on which the pro- clamation was based. In a low voice, husky with feeling, he thus concluded: Str, Her Majesty's government has thrown down the gage of battle to us. With sorrow but with steadfast determination we take it up. Ishali pray that our people, will remain quiet. Butland my friends will tell them al- ways to act like men. You may silence our platforms; butthe voice of. patriot- ism will still be heard in the pulpit. We have faced Cromwell, your Georges and your Castiereaghs. We will not flinch before the namby-pamby gentleman who now thinks to misrule Ireland. Think well, are you not going too far? You are proclaiming a country singularly free fromcrime, which you have already placed under despotic rule, where six weeks ago the Grand-jury presented the trav- eling judge with white gloves, there being no case on the docket whatsoever. For the con- sequences of ali this, you and you alone will be responsible. — — —— THE QUEEN AT BALMORAL. How Royalty Travels in England—Averting Accidents and Delay. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 26.—The Queen arrived yes- terday at Balmoral. No European ruler, ex- cept the Czar, is so guarded as the Queen is when travoling. A correspondent at Osborne gives the following account of the methods resorted to for the purpose of averting any kind of accident: The royal party crossed to the private pier at Gosport and proceeded ina special train by way of Stafford to Bal- later. The train was composed of day and night saloon-cars. The regulations for Her Majesty’s journey filied several foolscap pages. The time of departure and arrival hav- ing been mentioned, and the metals on which the train traveled baving been specified, the regulations further provided for a pilot engine accompanied by the locomotive superintend- ent of the particular district traveled over and by aguard with lamps, flags and fog sig- nals. The engine preceded the royal train at a uniform rate of speed and fifteen minutes in The drivers and firemen, as well as the en gine of the royal train, were specially selected. A lookout was placed on the tender of the engine and, seated with his face toward the rear, observed any signals that might be given by the occupants of the carriages. For thirty minutes previous to the Queen’s coming, no train was permitted to proceed on or across the main line. On the up-line also, it was commanded that the drivers must re- duce the speed to ten miles an hour, and on no account open their whisties when pass- ing the royal train. In this manner the Queen rode through her dominions. A monster engine rushed by, and fifteen min- utes afterwards the lights of the Queen’s train flashed past, and then aftera pause the hand of discipline was partiy relaxed. The Queen was supplied with aspecial time table printed elegantly in mauve onthick white paper bordered in gold and surmounted with the royal arms. hours of arrival and departure, the duration of each stoppage and the distance between stations. Majesty’s wishes signified beforehand. Thetime table showed the The time was regulated by Her England. URGENT TORY WHIP. Lonpon, August 2.—The Government has issued a whip which specially and earnestly requests the attendance of all supporters at session of the House to-night to vote upon Mr. Gladstone’s motion regarding the procia- mation of the National League. LOSING THEIR GRIP. In an interview with a representative of the press to-day Mr. Gladstone, in replying toa question as to whether he expected to beat the Government to-night, said: ‘‘No, expect to do that, but the fact that a year ago the Government majority was 110, while now the most sanguine Conservatives only antici- pate a majority of 60 on proclaiming the League, shows what a tremendous change has come over the face of the country. change is coming more rapidly than many people imagine and in fact quite fast enough.“ Mr. Gladstone seemed to be in high spirits and declared that he was in excellent heaith. we can’t The CARTER COMING HOME.

A constable, when extinguishing a street lamp on Duf- ferin street, at the outskirts of the city, found the body of William Priestman, who is the agentof the Chicago Masonic Insurance Company, lying across the sidewalk with a bullet wound in the left side of his bead over the ear. A six-shooter revolver was found near the body. A large sum of money, a gold watch and chain are missing from the body. SENATOR SHERMAN AND PARTY. Hon. John Sherman and party arrived here last night from their trip over the Canada Pacific Rallroad. They left Niagara Falls this morning. IVES’ MISSING BOOKS. The Employes Testify, but Profess to Know Nothing at All. NEw Tonk, August 26.—The employes of the firm of H. S. Ives & Co., and the colored jan- itor of the building in which the bank of that firm is situated appeared before Referee Judge Noah Davis this morning to testify as to their knowledge of the disap- pearance of the books containing the accounts of the firm up to April 1, last. The testimony of all the witnesses was tothe effect, so faras they knew anything about the facts, thatthey had seen nothing of the books later than a week or ten days pre- vious to the assignment. Each oneof the witnesses professed to have no theory or clue as the taking of the books. At12o’clock Mr. Sullivan announced that there were no fur- ther witnesses to be examined under the pres- ent order of reference. An adjournment was had to Tuesday morning atl10o’clock, when the depositions which have been taken will be ready for the signatures of the witnesses. A large amount of Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad stock and bonds, the proper- ty of Irving, Evans & Co. of Boston, was again announced for sale at the Real Estate Ex- change to-day. When the time for the sale arrived, the anctioneer announced that the prope had been absolutely withdrawn from the market. Few buyers were present. IVES AND MEYER. Shortly before 8 o’clock last night Henry 8. Ives, accompanied by his partner, Stayner, and Assignee Cromwell, went to New Bruns- wick, . and after spending nearly an hour at dinner, drove ove the Raritan River to tbe man- sion of Mr. Christopher Meyer, now first vice-president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad. Mr. Meyer was not aware ofthe coming ofthe gentlemen until a very short time before their arrival. Mr. Ives car- ried a small day book to which he invited the attention of Mr. Meyer. He said it was a state- meat of Ives 4 Co.’s affairs and showed a surplus of $7,000,000 in the shape of securities held by various persons who had advanced money upon them. He told Mr. Meyer that if he would advance the amount loaned on these securities, some $3,000,000 it would enable the firm to pull through and make good every dollar. He was afraid, he said, that next week these securities would be throwd on the market and slaughtered. They consist of $300,000 in Chemical Bank, $800,000 in Government bonds, $1,000,000 in Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton; $250,000 in Chicago, Peoria & Illinois and other good siock. Assignee Cromwell said that he was confi- dent the securities would become very valua- bie, if the firm were given a reasonable time to realize uponthem. Mr. Meyer did not appear to be anxious to discussthe matter, and ex- pressed a desire to be let alone. He had enough, he said, of the firm, being already a creditor to a large amount. The subject was then gone all over again, and at 10 o’clock the party left without having accomplished any- thing. N RAILEOAD NEWS. Statement of the Southern Pacific’s Earn- ings and Expenditures.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 26.—Mrs. E. H. Powers, who was such a noble and true friend to the Union soldiers during the war, died here yesterday in her 85th year. There are thousands of veterans who served in the New York and New Jersey regiments, who re- member her deeds of charity and unselfish de votion to the sick and wounded. The Forty eighth Congress voted her a pension ee the strenuous efforts of Judge Holman, who made a pathetic appeal in her behalf. The com mittee favoring her claim said im their report that from April W, 1860, to August 14, 1864, she devoted her whole time, energy. influence and means to the service of the Union soldiers and for the success of the Union cause, caring for the sick and wounded, collecting and forwarding hos- pital supplies and money, ministering to their wants and relieving theirsufferings. All this time she acted as president of the Florence Nightingale Relief Association of Paterson, N. J. and trom November, 1862, w August, 1864, was associate member of the United States Sanitary Commission of New Jersey. In this capacity she collected $8,000 in money and over 2° ,000 articles for hospital use. She re- ceived no pay whatever, paying out of her own means the cost of her own transportation and subsistence, besides contributing freely to the purposes she served to the amount of at least $3,000. Before the war ended she had lost Dy misfortane what little property she had, and was an invalid for years from the ef- fects of exposure in the performance of acts of kindness to the soldiers.

CHICAGO, III., August 26.—A peculiar acci- dent occurred yesterday afternoon in the basement of the wholesale clothing store of Leopold Brothers & Co., by which one man was badly injured and another is likely to lose his life. The gas-pipe under the sidewalk had been giving trouble for sometime, and Patrick Gaffney, street foreman for the gas company, went into the basement with Daniel Casey for the purpose ot locating the leak. Suddenly a loud explosion was heard, by which the entire building was shaken. Some one turned in an alarm of fire, and the employes of the firm rushed into the basement amid considerable excitement. The cause of the trouble was at once apparent. Between the bricked-up embankment of the sidewalk and the wall ot the building was a space about two feet wide and as long as the building. Intothis space the gas had been escaping, and was pouring out around the pipe. The mon lit a candle and hunted along the pipe for the leak. When they came tooclose to the wall, the escaping gas caught fire and this ignited the large reservoir of gas between the two walis and it exploded witb such force as te throw the men violently down and the wall upon them. The persons who ran into the basement found the gas still burning, but the fire was soon extinguished. Daniel Casey was revived without difficulty, and was found to be painfully but not seriousiy hurt. Gaffney was less fortunate. He was found bent for- ward upon his face, being buried to the hips in the bricks of the fallen wall. en he was extricated it was seen that he had suffered a compound fracture of the skull, that his right leg was broken, and that he was badly burned and bruised about the head face and bedy. His injuries are pronounce fatal. The explosion ofthe confined gas dis- played great force, asitthrew down a brick wall ten feet high and thirty-five feet long. hurling it to some distance, and lifted the pav- ing stones of the sidewalk, which were ten inches thick by about twelve, by eighteen feet. Debris was thrown clear across to the other side of the street from under the lifted flagging. Struck by Lightning. Owosso, Mich., August 26.—During last night’s storm the house of W. G.

He concurs in the opinion that his client’s mind ts failing him. Mr. Cochran declined to discuss the question of procuring bail for Mr. Sharp. Up to 1:30 o’ clock this afternoon no word had been received by the District Attorney of an application for Sharp’s admission to bail. This neglect on the part of the old man’s at- torneys is thought to indicate that the next move onthe part of the defense will be for in- quiry as to Sharp’s mental condition. District-Attorney Martine to-day served notice ofappeal from Judge Potter’s decision granting a stay of proceedings on Jacob Sharp’s lawyers. It will be argued on Sep- tember 7. CLEVER CHARLES SMITH, Who Robbed His Employer and Then Made a Good Bargain With Him. Charles Smith, alias Isaac Wilson, is the ne- gro house servant who seems to have a happy faculty of making away with articles belonging to his employers. Some time ago Charles was employed at the residence of William E. Brady, No. 2208 Olive street, and as there was very convincing evidence that he had made away with a lot of laces and handkerchiefs that were missed from the house he was arrested. At bis preliminary examination he was held for the Grand-jury in $800 bond. Mr. Brady then relented, and himself went on Smith’s bond, and took him back into his employ, the negro claiming it was his first offense, and that it would never be repeated. Mr. Brady intended to drop the prosecution altogether, the neuro being such an excellent house ser- vant that he was anxious to keep him. reece A Smith left his house, however,and wentto wor for Mrs. Hays, who keeps a boarding-bouse at No. 2223 Olive street. Mr. Brady then with- drew from his bond and surrendered him, but Mrs. Hays had Smith bailed out immediately afterward, The other day it was discovered by Mr. Brad that $110 worth of silverware whic he had packed up had been stolen. Some of it was recove where it had been pawned and sold by Smith. Yesterday Detective Badger arrested the negro at Mrs. Hays’ house. This morning he admitted the theftand told where all the property was on condition that he should be prosecuted for petit larceny only. The prop- erty was all recovered and a warrant for t larceny taken out against him. THE TYLER PAPER COMPANY, A Meeting of Creditors in New York Ac- cept the Assignee’s Offer.

This committee re that the liabilities FRANCIS’ GUEST. PRESIDENT CLEVELAND WILL SPEND TWO NIGHTS AT THE MAYOR'S. With Mrs. Cleveland, He Will Be Driven te Mayor Francis’ House on His. Arrival— Monday He Will Go to One of the Hotels and Monday Afternoon He Will Give a Public Reception—Menday Evening at the Exposition and Tuesday at the Fair. The President aad Mrs. Cleveland will be the guests of Mayor Francisand his wife during two nights of their stay here. On their arrival Saturday evening they will be driven to Mayor Francis’ house. They will spend Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday nightthere. Dur- ing this time his entertainment will be in the hands of Mayor Francis. He will not de taken in charge by the local committee of entertainment until Monday morning, when he will go to either the Southern or the Lindell and begin the reg- ular business of his visit. On Saturday night he will arrive at so late an hour that he will probably retire without seeing any buat the members of Mayor Francis’ family. On Sun- day he will goto church with Mayor Francis and his wife, probably to the Second Presby- terian Church. This will give a great many people an opportunity to see the President and his wife, and the selection of a church will be largely with a view to its seating capacity. Sunday afternoon, if the weather is favorable, the President will probably be taken fora drive through the parks. Sunday night will be spent at the Mayor’s and Monday the Pres- ident will move down town. MAYOR FRANCIS had made no formal announcement of the fact that the President was to be his est until the news had gained — general cir- culation. This morning, when asked to con- firm the statement, he said: „es, Ithink the President will stay with me on Sunday. He intended originally to time his visit so that he would leave Washing- ton Mapday morning, arriving here Tuesday afternoon. Then he would have stayed over Wednesday and left late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. That would have given him too little time here, Ithought. He said he must bave a quiet Sunday. Itold him we could give him a quiet Sunday here, but he seemed a little incredulous. Then I suggested that he might come out tomy house, where he would be perfectly quiet. ‘That would be very nice,’ he said, and so the matter was settied.’’ „What will the President do on Sunday?“ His time will be at his own disposal. I suppose, however, that he will go to church. Iam not sure what church he Will go to. They tell me the First Presbyterian Church is the largestin the city. Both the Grand Avenue Church and Dr. Brookes’ Church have invited me to bring the President there. Will you invite any one to meet the Presi- dent at your house?’’ ‘*T had not thought of that as yet. The President wants a quiet day and I shall make it as quiet as possible.’’ Mayor Francis said that the other arrange- ments for the President’s entertainment would be altogether in the hands of a com- mittee, which he would appoint before long. It is understood, however, that on Monday afternoon there will be a ublic reception from 2 to 5 o’cloc in the parlors of one of the big hotels. Mrs. Cleveland will assist at the reception. On Monday evening probably the sidential party will go to the Exposition. Tuesday the party will visit the Fair, and Tuesday evening they will attend the Veiled Prophet ball. At midnight the party will ge north on aspecial train. It is understood that in pursuance of his idea to spend his Sundays quietly, the President will spend Sunday, October 9, at the residence of Postmaster-General Vilas, Madison, Wis., and Sunday, October 16, at Nashville, Tenn., at the residence of Judge Howell E. Jackson, formerly a United States Senator. FRANCIS’ HOME. The home of Mayor Francis, at which the President will spend two nights and a day dur- ing his visit here, is the third house from Grand avenue on the south side of Vandeven- ter place. The first house is a large double stone-front house owned by J. B. M. Kehlor. The second is a double house of pressed brick belonging to John D. * Mr. Francis’ father-in-law, Mr. Francis’ house isa hand- some double brick building standing on a en terrace and surrounded by a broad awn.

DEPUTY AUDITOR RAUSSER AS AN OB- STACLE 10 STREET SPRINKLING. * —— He Makes a Technical Objection to Mounting the Inspectors— Citi s Overrule Techni- calities and Subscribe the Necessary Amount— Auditor Smith Overrules Raus- ser, but Withdraws From the Position— The Inspectors to Be Mounted in Any Event. There arose a serious Complication at the City Hall soon after the inauguration of the sprinkling by the city. The bill provided for four inspectors to wateh the contractors, in order that the latter might be compelled to do their duty. The bili did not provide tor mounting these inspectors. Street- Commissioner Turner thought that horses conld be provided out of the sprinkling fund, and went to see Deputy Auditor G. F. Rausser about it. That official positively refused to audit any bilis for horses, and as he controls the Auditor's office, the Street Commissioner did not go further with the matter there, but spoke to the Comptroller about it. Mr. Camp- bell sald this morning: I saw no reason for objecting to paying for the maintenance of horses for the inspectors out of the general fund and went tosee Rausser aboutit. He claimed there must be specific appropriation for the inspectors and instanced several cases in which he had applied the principle before. I told him that one mounted inspector was worth three unmounted inspectors and if three were employed they would receive we pet month, while a horse would only cost $18 per month. To mount the Inspector would be to get the services of two additional men for 818, but ne could not see his way to auditing the bill. Ladvised Turner to write a letter to the Auditor, in order that we might have a conference over the matter. That brought Gen. Smith, the Auditor, myseif and Gen. rner together. When the matter was explained to Gen. Smith be said he would see the bills were audited.’’ This morning Fielding Mansfield, whose in- terest in the sprinkling led him to secure the funds necessary to mount the inspectors, completed the work and transmitted to Gen. Turner the proceeds of the following subscrip- tions: In order to render the official inspection of the street-sprinkling effective and thereby in- sure the success of the present experignent it is imperative that the four inspectors be pro- vided with horses. The horses will be pro- vided aud this subscription is for the main- tenance of the said four horses for three months, which will cost $40.

Turner, Street Commissioner : Dan Sin—Thefinauguration of the system of street sprinkling under the supervision of the municipal authorities is attended with cer- tain drawbacks. Some of the contractors are doing their duty, others are not. The number of miles which are to be sprinkled is 270. The ordinance provides for four inspectors, who are expected to perform the pbysical impossibility of daily inspecting, on foot, 270 miles of streets. Some of our public-spirited citizens have joined me in subscribing the inclosed $240, to pay for the keeping of four horses for three monts for the use of your sprinkling inspectors. We do this to assist you inthe proper execution of this street sprinkling inspection, and more particu- larly because your character as a man and a public officer commands our highest and un- limited confidence, With the proper facilities at your command, we know that you will pro- tect the rights of our citizens and taxpayers. With best wishes for your complete success, lam yours very truly, FIELDING MANSFIELD. „St. Louis, August 26, 1887. Mr. Turner said. this morning: There is no need of the citizens’ contributions nuw and they will be returned. Auditor Smith has said he would audit bills for the maintenance of the horses and that ends the difficulty.’’ Why was objection made at the begin- ning? The Commissioner shrugged his shoulders saying. don't know. te O provides the horses for the inspect- ore * The men will provide themselves with horses, and they will be allowed $18 per month for the board of a horse at a stable. That is the oy most city officials who are permitted to use horses are mounted. Auditor Smith said he had not settled in his mind as yet whether he would audit the bills or not. His deputy, Rausser, attended to those matters, and he was away on afew days’ leave. When he returns the Auditor will talk to him about it. This reopens the controversy which the —— and Street Commissioner thought settled. THE CURIOUS ACCIDENT By Which Norah Dailey Met Her Death Last Night. An inquest was held this morning at Joseph H. Donovan’s residence, No. 303% Pine street, on the body of Norah Dailey, the domestic in the employ of Mr. Donovan, Who was burned at the house last evening and died atl o’clock this morning of her injuries. Mary Kelleher, another servant employed atthe house, testi- fied that at about 8 o’clock last night she and the deceased began to make a mixture to wax the floors of the bouse. They dissolved some beeswax and turpentine by heating it in a large pan on the range. After the mixtures had been thoroughly dissolved, Norah Dailey began pouring it into acfockery jar which she had placed on the — Some of it spilled on the range, and soon it was blazing up and ignited the solution inthe pan. The girl called to the hired man, Michael Lyons, to throw the blaz- ing mixture imto the yard. He went to get a cloth to protect himself, and the woman de- coming impatient lifted the pan herself, and as she reached the door her clothing caught fire and she received the injuries which caused her death. Accident was the verdict. EXILES CELEBRATE. Texas Fever—Broke Jail—Fatal Careless. ness— Killed by a Train—Illinois Items.

The Sentence Passed on Dr. Ben T. Whit more by Judge Noonan. Dr. Benjamin T. Whitmore was sentenced to one year in the Work-house by Judge Noonan this morning. Whitmore formerly lived in elegant style in a three-story stone- front house at the south west cor- ner of Grand and Page avenues. Disposing of chattels mortgaged was the charge on which he was tried to-day. hile living @ Grand and Page avenues the doctor was the family physician of Thomas J. Ran- kin, a pattern-maker at Filley’s foundry, who resides at No. 1583 1 street. Rankin al- leges that he had a littie money saved, and Dr. Whitmore borrowed $1,234 from him, giv- ing him a mortgage on all his furniture an r- sonal property to secure it, according to n- kih’s statement. Whitmore then left here and took with him his horse and buggy, his library and surgical instruments, all of which Rankin alleged were mortgaged to him. Rankin sold the household furniture out, but did not real- ize more than about half the amount he had loaned Whitmore. Three weeks ago the doc- tor, who now lives in Omaha, was passing through here and Rankin had him arrested. This morning he was tried before Judge Noonan, found guilty and his punishment assessed at a year in the Work-house. The doctor, who denies Rankin’s allegations as to what was covered bythe mortgage, immedi- ately flied a motion for a new trial. SOLD THEIR PAPER. Many Western Firms Involved in the Mitchell, Vanee & Co. Failure. New Tonk, August 26.—The Herald says: It begins to be apparent that the failure of Mitchell, Vance & Co. will be more disastrous than at first supposed. The ‘‘contingent’’ la- bilities reported were, it will de remem- bered, $750,000. This large sum represents the paper of firms to whom the ¢onoern was in the habit of selling goods, and one of the methods resorted toby the conceru to raise money when it began to be badly pressed for money, was to get the paper of these customers whom they had been supplying with ae on long credit, and selling this paper in the market. Some ofthese firms, which are scattered through a dozen big cities, in the West principally, willnot beable to stand these heavy losses, andafew ofthem will probably be obliged tosuspend asa conse- quence of Mitchell, Vance & Co.’s failure.

THE WEATHER, Lecal Rain and Slightly Higher Tempera- ture To-morrow’s Portion. The weather to-day was slightly colder than yesterday, the 6a. m. reading being 2 degrees lower, and other readings corresponding. The indications for local rain which were ap- parent yesterday were justified by very slight spurts of moisture. Twenty - tour hours have not changed the situation much, and about the same weather may be counted on for to-morrow, the Signal Service observers think. There will be local rain, but slightiy highet temperature. The Northwest is improving somewhat in its tem- perature, the high barometer area havin moved east until now itis immediately north of the lakes. Its motion was much more rapid yesterday and last night than previously, which may be a hint that this present unsea- sonable weather will give way rapidly } to warmer température and higher barometer.

Aside from the approval of contracts for public work awarded by the Board of Pu lic Improvements and authorized officers since the adjournment of the Assembly, there was no regular business needing imme- diate consideration. In his message to the assembly this afternoon, Mayor Francis di- rected attention to the subjectof extending the water-worxs, which will engage the atten- tion of the Municipal legislators for several days. Mayor Francis urges the Assembly to consider this important problem. It is one to which he has repeatedly called the attention of the Assembly, and which is specially recommended to the consideration of the members during the special session. The city is now growing in a northward direction, and within a short time the supply of water from Biesell“s Point will be polluted if the location of the inlet tower is not changed to some point above the city front and the large sewers o ening into the river in the district north of the present gite of the works. Accompanying the message was an ordl- nance to cover the requirements of the case, and providing as follows: An ordinance establishing a low service umping station, inlet tower and settling — atthe Chain of Rocke and authorizing the purchase of the real estate necessary for the extension of the low service division of. the St. Louis Water-works. Be it ordainea by the Municipal Assembly of the City of St. Louis, as follows: SECTION 1. The pumping station, inlet tow- er and settiing basins of the extension of the low service division of the St. Louis Water- works are hereby established at or near the Chain of Rocks. Sec. 2. The Board of Public Improvements pense aud submit to y general and detailed pro extension of the w service division of the St. Louis Water- works. Sec. 8. The Mayor, Comptroller and Water Commissioner, with the approval of the Com- ittee on Ways and Means of each house, are ereby authorized and directed to purchase the real estate at or near the Chain of Rocks required forthe extension of the low service division of the 8t. Louls Water-works, and for a right of way tor a conduit connecting said extended works with the present works at Bisseli’s Point. Sue, 4 The costof the above real estate shall be paid by the City of St. Louis, and for that purpose, there is hereby set apart out of the fund for water-works extension purchase of real estate the sum of $100,000. Bec. 5. There is hereby appropriated from water-works revenue to fund for water-works extension purchase of realestate the sum of is hereby directed to the Municipal Assemb A. showing the 0 100, 000. It is within the power of the Assembly to alter this ordinance so as to leave out every provision made except the or- 2 clause which confines them to the location named. Water-Commissioner Holman, President Flad of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements and Mayor Francis strong! favor the plan proposed inthe ordinance. It will require an expenditure of about $8,500,000 which can be raised out of the revenue of the Water Department. Last yearthis amounted to $808 ,000, and at the beginning of the term there was the sum of $608,900 surplus to the credit of that fund. This sum was, however, appropriated for current expenses and extension of the service. In this last-named direction there has been a great mis management of funds as miles of pire have been put down ata cost of thousands of dollars in localities where the revenue will amount to little for sev- eral years to come. Three lines of pipe have been extended west but are only tapped at long distances by con- sumers. The revenue for the present year will, through the activity of Assessor Temple probably reach nearly ,000. Only a little more than one-third of this amount is re- quired for the actual expenses of the depart- ment. Already $210,000 has been appropriated for another main from the water towers to the Compton Hili Reservoir. It is very prob- able that a supplemental appropriation of $30,000 will be required before the work is completed. After this year by confining the extensions to localities where extensions are absolutely necessary, not more than $400,000 of the revenue need be expended. This will leave nearly halt a million dollars per annum with which to pay for the new plant at the Chain of Rocks, as proposed inthe ordinance submitted by Mayor Francis this afternorn. The Garbage-Dumping Plans. The report filed with the Mayor by Harbor- Commissioner Murphy in regard tothe re- moval of all animaland vegetabie matter into thechannel of the river, instead of dumping tat the wharf line, contains some interesting facts. The ordinance authorizing the present system was passed December6, 1844, and in- structed the City Engineer, who then had charge of the Wharf Department, to purchase dump boat, price not to exceed $100. In the yearnamed the population of St. Louis was adout 85,000. Now, with the population twelve times larger, the system of disposing of the offensive substance remains the same, having simply been extended. The lessees in the Wharf Department number over sixty business firms, railroads, elevators, etc., whose ag- gTegate capiatl is — $50,000,000. The revenue of the department this year will be largely increased from leases and Wharfage and the Commissioners think the interests referred to should be protected from the evils attending the present system of dumping. It costs the city several thousand dollars per annum to clear the harbor of ob- Mructions caused by wire, brick, tin cans, Hanure, etc., now dumped from the boats, hotwithstanding the vigilance of the watch- men in charge of the dumps. The cost of the new plan will be about , in excess of the presentsystem. The Commissioner suggests thitthe adoption of the proposed plan is of Vital importanoe to the health of the entire city, as in the event of eastern winds prevail- lug the offensive and unhealthy odors from the river front caused by the slops, offal, eto., lsborne directly back into the houses as far K as Twelfth street. * COL.

The question of the uniform to be worn by during the Grand Encamp- ment, and particularly in the great parade of abe aes N, promises to absorb a great deal ot attention in Grand Army circles in this State. Some time ago Ransom Post of this city held a meeting and agreed to wear white duck hats of the regulation Grand Army pattern during the parade if the weather should be warm, and if it should be cold to ‘wear the soft black hat. The meeting at which this was agreed on was not very largely attended, and the resolution was adopted by one vote. There was somo ob- jection on the part of those not present at the meeting,and so the Commander of the post thought it best to put the question at the next meeting. There * a large attendance and the res- olution was ‘by an almost unanimous vote rescinded. The former action of the post had been widely commented on, however, and the question ofthe propriety of varying the regular uniform was generally discussed. The majority held that any variation of the regulation dress would establish a lack of uni- formity which would spoil the appearance of the parade and it was suggested that the Department Commander de appealed to and to issue an order prohibiting ‘any variation of the uniform. Now comes werd from Kansas City that the posts there have adopted agrey hat, and section of the State that some of the veterans will wear straw hate. The matter will probably be brought to the at- tention of Department-Commander Kimball, who is at Nevada, Mo. The Naval Veterans. An exceedingly ‘‘sassy’’ letter from the Seo- retary of the National Association of Naval Veterans of the United States was received at headquarters this morning. He writes that he has received notice from the committee that none but members of the Grand Army and Sons of Veterans will be admitted to the parade. Hesays: ‘‘With the full knowledge of the committee and the Commander-in- Chief the naval veterans have perfected arrangements to participate in the proposed parade. These people are all eligible to membership in the G. A. R. and most of them are already enrolled. One of our objects in the proposed demonstration at St. Louis is to bring into the G. A. R. as many as possible of those who for various reasons have not yet joined.’’ He then proceeds todemand the admission of the naval veterans to the. parade, and intimates that he will appeal to the Oommander-in-Chnief. The naval vet- erans will —— be admitted to the line as a matter of courtesy, not of right. The Beats. Chairman Nelson Cole has called a meeting of the Programme Committee to be held Saturday afternoon at3o’clock at the Lin- dell.

Boston, August 26.—Rev. Edward F. Doane, the missionary of the American Board at Pon- ape, in the Caroline Islands, who was arrested some three or four weeks ago and imprisoned by the Spanish authorities on the pretext that he had incited the natives to disloyalty to their Governor, has been released. This intelligence has just been received by ev . Judson Smith, the Foreign Secreta ot The Foreign Board. It is thought that all is not well yet with Mr. Doane. His associates fear there is a 1 prospect for their mission. Spain will ignore our rights, the say, and send away the scholars, an in this way break up the mis- sions. The Governor examined the deeds of land conveyed to Mr. Doane by the chiefs and afterward produced three out of the four signers or witnesses to the deed, whoswore that they had not signed, or that the land had not been iven to Mr. Doane. At Ponape the Governor ad begun grading a road around the island. forcing the natives to work like slaves. Com- menting on this, Mr. Smith said that the Amer- ican Government may find it necessary to send one of our war ships to the Caroline Islands to rotect the interests of our citizens. The nited States could not afford to have this outrage perpetrated on American mission- aries. CITY PERSONALS. Mr. J. B. Sellinger has returned from New York City from his vacation.

Recorder Williams Has Marked Over 18, 000 for Presentation to the Next Board of Revision, Making a Total of Nearly 20,000 False Registrations—A Sample Precinct in the Tenth Ward—New Ballet- Boxes for the Next Municipal Election to Defeat Stuffing Schemes. Recorder of Voters Williams will present about 12,000 names to the next Board of Re- vision for its consideration. There still re- main about this number of fraudulent regis- trations on the books of the Recorder of Voters. from which 4,800 were stricken off by the last Board, the term of which ex- pired before all the work could be com- pleted. Through the summer the Recorder’s force has been quietly but steadily working on the fraud-laden lists, and preparing a startling statement forthe next Board of Re- vision and the public. To-day Maj. Williams was asked how his books stood, and replied: ou gentlemen, it seems, must have the news before it’s ready, even. The work is not yet complete, but I will give you an idea of how the registration has been handled.’’ The following is his statement: Names on the registration lists prior to or at the date when the Board of 822 tor the November election, 886. assembled, numbered about.. 70,000 That Board of Revision struck off Dont. «„ 0 13,334 Leaving by actual count...... reenee 56,666 The registration preparatory to the spring election, 1887, amounted to.. 6,005 , 62,671 Names stricken off by order of the Board of Revision for the April elec- 1 eae 4,800 57,871 There are now on the registration lists names with-wrong addresses... 4,016 Names not in the Directory nor ou the precinct canvass returns ........... . 8,796 There will be subjected to the letter N test and then reported to the next Board of Revision to be stricken off e o00 6600 12.812 Names entitled to vote 45.059 To this the registration since April election is | to be added. „As I say, continued the Recorder, the work is not yet complete, as the registrations supposed to be incorrect must first be sub- mitted to the letter test. The application of this has caused some comment, tis is not exactly original. It wastried with great suc- cess by Mr. Davenport in his investigation of the frauds of Brooklyn, New York and Phila- delphia. He says that no officer or private individual can be s0 advantageously employed in gathering information of this character as a letter carrier. A revenue or- cer is suspected of attempting to collect taxes. A deputy sheriff or marshall is sup- posed to be armed with a warrant and diffi- culties are placed in his way. A letter carrier carrying an envelope in his hand is welcomed everywhere and can gather more correct in- formation than anv other officer.’’ At the last election Mr. Williams tried this plan with considerable success. He addresses acommunication to the place of residence given in the books at the City Halljand gets the return made by the letter carrier, who can for the asking obtain all the information in the possession of neighbors. On the report made by the carriers on these communica- tion the Recorder will take action as conclusive evidence that the information already in the possession of the Recorder. The developments of the past six months in the Recorder’s office have shown how extensive were the frauds which the PosT-DISPATCH ex- 2 last November and December, resulting n the prosecutions in the Federal Court. One precinct was found to be A CHOICE SPECIMEN. The books Maj. handed over to Williams contained the names and addresses of 469 qualified voters in Precinct o 9%. The precinct canvass made by Mr. Williams failed to discover the where- abouts of 857 of the parties registered within the precinct. When the letter test was applied, thecarriers reported that 842 of the persons addressed could not be located nor could any trace of such persons be found. Fifteen of the rseons named had removed fram the addresses given and were no longer en- titled to registration from the numbers re- ported atthe City Hall office. This was the condition of things in a single precinct, and there is ittle doubt but that affairs were no better in various other localities offering better opportunities for fraud than sucha central point as Twelfth and Olive streets. With a few such precincts as this there is no wonder that the total number of false registrations foot up 12,000 names. Under the law governing his office the Recorder is not authorize to strike an man off the lists, although convinced beyond doubt that fraud has been committed in securing the registration or that no such person is in existence. The evidence can, however, 2. — and be in readiness for the next Board of Revision, which will be selected forty days before the election in No- vember, 1888. In the meantime, a large gen- uine registration is expected. Hundreds of the most prominent citizens of St. Louis do not appear on the books of the Recorder’s office at all and have not attempt- ed in years to avail themselves of the right to vote. The hopelessness of suc- cessfully counteracting the influence of the fraudulent votes probably deterred many from voting, and more from going tothe trouble of securing registration to gualify themselves for voting. At present the registrations and alterations are not numerous, butthis has always been the case in summer time and especially in off years. Before the next election the Recorder will make an effort to secure an ap- ropriation to purchase some new Pallot- boxes patented to prevent any stuffing. The appropriation would have been made in June but for the fact that there was no election but the School Board election for which the present boxes were deemed suitable. ~y The Honesty of Women. From Harper's Bazar. Women are being employed more and more as book-keepers and cashiers, and oneavowed ground ofthis employmentis thatthey are more honest than men. r they are so 4 to this time, and it is probable that they will have some permanent advantage in that way. Their normal instincts are some- what higher and their temptations less on the side of perilous indulgences. But it has been pointed out more than once by the more cau- tious friends of women that a good deal of the present moral advantage of that sex in mat- ters of honesty comes simply from inexperi- ence. They have hitherto had so little to do with the direct handling of money at they regard it with more _ reverence than men; the bare thought of an irregularity alarms them; the conscience is fresh and sensitive; they cannot con- ceive how a person can wrong another out of an dime and live. Moreover, they overrate the difficulties and perils consequent on wrong- doing. A young book-keeper told me once that whenever her accounts failed to balance, if it were only by a single cent, she felt as if a a policeman were just coming in at the door. It is as we find to be the case with lendin money—any prudent person would rather len to a woman than to a man, because he nows that the chance of repayment is greater, In the present state of society a debt of % e affair to a woman anda very small affair to a man; but let thet woman borrow and 7 ＋ a few times and the fine edge of sensibility begins to wear off, precisely as it does with a man, but more slowly. wholl Chauvinism Becomes Absurd.

The assessed valuation of the city of Boston, as just completed for 1887, is $747, - 624,900—$547,170,300 real and $200, 454,660 nal, is is an increase of $37,003,500 over the valuation of 1886. Boston’s valu- ation is much larger per capita than that ot any other city in the country. In the aggregate it more than equals that of the whole State of Illinois, as assessed, and is nearly five times as large as that of Cook County, with the great city of Chicago as a portion of it. Indeed, the latest valuation of Cook County shows a total about $15,000,000 less than that of Wayne County Mich. The fraud of un- dervaluation is Illinois was so palpable and so gross—each county seeming to see how far it could outstrip every other in etting its valuations down — that the egislature, at its last session,passed a law designed to effectareform, and under the operation of whjoh, it is believed, the assessed valuation#®f the several coun- ties of the State will be increased to from three to five times what they are now re- ported at. Chicago alone has more per- sonal property than the entire real and personal property valuation of the city, as assessed. Undervaluation is always productive of grosse injustice, and the oor man in Chicago pays in comparison o the millionaire, relatively, much higher taxes than the rman does in Detroit, Taking the States 1 Massa - chusetts, it must e said to its credit, comes nearer putting honest values throughout the commonwealth onthe assessment rolls than any other State in the Union. They have a so-called ironclad law relative to personal property assessments in Ohio and some other States; but in Ohio the general assessed valua- tions of real and personal property do not exceed 60 per cent of the actual value. The only two of the larger cities in the country where an attempt is made to set down in the assessment rolls actual valu- ations of 8 are Boston and De- troit. It is better for all concerned when the assessed values bear a close relation to actual ones, but it is very hard to make legislators and assessors understand and act upon this. Cyclenes. From Scribner for August. In cyclones we find the largest manifest- ation of that energy by which the super- heated lower air whirls upward from the earth through openings which it has rent in the higher, cooler layers. In its funda- mental cause the cyclone is essentially like both the lesser classes of whirls, the dust-whirls and tornadoes, but the field of its work is vastly greater, though the energy which it exercises at any one point is less. The con- ditions which lead to the formation of a cyclone are as follows: In those heated portions of land and sea where the circumstances permit the air to remain for a long time undisturbed, it becomes very warm and charged with moisture; the hotter it becomes the more moisture i contains, and the less it permits the heat radiating from the surface to pass through its texture; at the same time the upper air, deprived of its usual share of radiant heat, becomes abnormally cold; finally, as in the dust-whirls and tornadoes, the lower air breaks through the upper and rushes toward the sky. Although at its beginning a cyclonic storm is probably of no greater size and of much less ascending force than a tornado, there are several reasons which make its history different from that of the smaller whirls. In the first place, the field of heated air which causes the cyclone, is far more ex- tensive than that which produces the tornado, though at the same time the dif- ference of temperature between the upper and lower air may be less. The greater bulk of the lower stratum of hotand moist air permits the cyclone to grow larger, but the less ascensional force of the lower. air makes it less violent in its movements. As soon as the ascending current brings a portion of the heated air from the sur- face into the higher level it expands, and the force, originally in the form of heat, which kept it in the state of vapor, serves to increase the ascending column just as much as would the direct application of heat sufficient to vaporize the water. Thus we have two sources of force to impel the air in the cyclone upward. Both these forces appear in the tornado, but there the original heat of the lower air is the prin- pal cause of the motion. Mr. Dore’s Model Turkey Story. From the Bangor Whig. Mr. Charles B. Dore of Levant was, a few days sinbe, the proud possessor of a flock of seventy-four nice young turkeys, which were carefully looked after bya staid old brood turkey. The other night it was very rainy, and, contrary to their usual habit, the turkeys failed to come to the barn. The night being dark, and not knowing where to look for them Mr. Dore left them to the care of the mother turkey and retired torest. About daybreak the next morn- ing he was awakened by cries of distress from the old turkey. He got up, dressed himself and went down-stairs. In the yard was the old turkey, but no young ones, and the old one immediately started off toward the pasture. Procuring a large basket, Mr. Dore followed, and the tur- key, after advancing a rod or two, would look around to see if he was following. After going some distance the turkey flew up on the pasture fence and there re- mained. Looking over the fence he dis- cerned some of the young ones un- dera bunch of brakes, and just then a fox came toward him having one in his mouth, and ran so near that he hit it with his basket. Seeing now the trouble he got over the fence and made a search, result- ing in finding ten live turkeys, the other sixty-four having either been carried off or killed on the spot, the partially eaten remains of many being scattered about. Was it instinct or reason that sent the old turkey, in the hour of danger, to the only protector to whom she could look? How the Emperor Lives at Gastein. From the Pall Mall Gazette. A Gastein correspondent sends an ao- count of how the Emperor William lebt und webt at that favorite resort. The Emperor is very simple in his habits, and lives more like a private gentleman of means than an imperial sovereign. Great care is taken with the Emperor’s dietary. Every morning three complete menus are laid before him, and that which pleases him he marks with a cross. Three por- tions of each course are cooked, and then the most delectable is chosen, Now and then the Emperor issues dinner invitations toa number of dignitaries of the district, and these gatherings form a pleasant diver- sion in his Gastein life. No guest is more pleased than the Emperor when the con- versation takes a free and mirthful hs heart- he board — and sherry to wash the viands own with. we are told, ‘‘is that of a health 60 years, and he doesfull justice to the wine.” When the Kaiser wishes the guests to raise he stands up, and then all retire tothe reception room.

How the Auk and Sitka Indians Adjust Their Tribal Differences. From the Alaska (Juneau) Free Press. On Sunday last five canoes of Sitka In- dians arrived at the Auk Village, just above town. It was the occasion of no little excitement among the Auks, for the Sitkans, as is usual upon such visits, made a demand of 120 blankets as a re- muneration for injuries a member of their tribe had received two years ago while en- gaged in a cut-and-slash with an Auk ndian, in which the Sitkan got decidedly the worst of the battle. The Auks refused to accede tothe demand, the re- sultof which was a general go-as-you- please, in which knives took a prominent part as settlers of the dispute. During the melee one of the Auks receiveda severe cut on the hand, upon which he set upa howl demanding pay from the Sitkans kor the wound he had received at their hands. It now being a stand-off, in that members of both tribes had received injuries one from the other, peace was declared, pro- viding the Auks would tender to their visitors a grand potlath (feast and dance). The Auks, who are a weaker tribe than the Sitkans, consented, and ac- cordingly on Wednesday evening last the ball was opened. Aboutoncea year the Sitkans come over andrun abluff on their weaker neighbors, during which they make love co their most buxom squaws and gorge themselves until the larders of their hosts are well nigh exhausted. Upon the evening of the dance the whites of Juneau were informed of the occasion and requested to come as specta- tors. The band boys, forthe novelty of the thing, determined to serenude the sons of the forest and open up their ball in a style that Mr. Lo had never seen the like of before. Accordingl the band and white spectators forme the line of march at the outskirts of the village and, to the tune of ‘‘Prisoner’s Hope“ and Marching Through Georgia,“ marched up through the village, comin to a halt in front of Chief Cow-ee’s resi- dence. Although the odor of dried sal- monand seal grease somewhat choked the players, they managed to finish the strain. The old chief gave them a warm welcome and extended to the band the great honor of leading forth the dancers, who were already costumed and ready. The band again formed the line of march with the war-chief Cow-kleck in front as drum-major and about twenty-five Indian dancers, cry a . and dressed in costumes in imitation of the bear, fox. eagle, swan, goose and other animals, interspersed throughout with bits of bright coloring. bringing up the rear. The procession came to,a stop in front of the hall, ashake cabin some twenty b forty feet. Upon the floor inside, pack as close as sardines in a box, sat men, women and children. Two rows of squaws occupy the front, who in perfect tune and with powerful exercise of their lungs sin a chorus to the chant of the dancers. A a given signal from the chief, who acts as floor-manager, the music strikes up; then there follows a flourish of swan wings and the dancers commence singing and dancing. The excitement pene increases, until they fairly howl, some barking like dogs, some growling like bears. They grin and gnash their teeth, and contort their bodies in all shapes that their joints and muscular de- velopment will admit of. Sweat begins to ooze from every pore in their bodies. One strives to outdo the other, for heis con- sidered the best dancer who can how! the loudest, grin the fiercest and contort the most. After the first set is finished a bucket of water is passed around, from which each dancer takes an enormous pull, all drinking out of the bucket, and after about a minute’s rest the same per- ———— above describedis gone through with. His Flyship on a Spree. From the Detroit Journal. The bartender said: ‘‘A roach is a happy, harmless drunkard, but liquor makes a fly quarrelsome.’’ At that in- stant a big house fly-fell into a glass of champagne that one ofthe spectators of the roach’s debauch was preparing to drink. ‘the fly wasrescued from the wine and laid on the counter. He appeared at first tobe dead, but he finally revived, struggled tohis feet and triedto walk away.

Occasionally the legs on one side of his body would give out and he would fall over on his back, wearily wave his legs in the air and then lie motionless and supremely contented. A magnifyipg glass was produced and a view of the fly’s countenance showed that his eyes were glassy and his expression idiotic as com- ar with that of the temperate fly. hen the wine had begun to fully assert its power the fly struggled to his feet and proceeded to vindicate the bar-tender’s estimate of him. He reeled along the counter until he met a sober fly that was making toward a cube of loaf sugar. The toper darted towards the temperate fly and attacked him with malice afore- thought. The temperate fly tried in vain to escape. Then he turned on his assail- ant, rolled him over on his back and left him with his legs in the air. They Loved Each Other.

Meeting a sanitary inspector named Carty in a public house, Mr. Tighe inquired whether he could ‘‘expound the first problem in Euclid,” and on learning that Carty had not fought his way so far into the fastnesses of geometry, Mr. Tighe roceeded to impeach not only ats erudi- ion, but his gentility.

Moopy says: ‘‘You can’t pound a “sermon into a man with a sledgehammer “after he has got through reading one of “these Sunday papers.“ Does Mr. Moopy mean that the amount of religious infor- mation published in a Sunday paper makes the hearing of a sermon tunneces- sary? If he wants a paper that does all its work in six daysand keepsthe Sabbath holy, the Posr-Disraron is the paper for him. _——_ ** Tuer Prohibition convention of New York is now in session at Syracuse. H.C. Bascom, the permanent chairman, ad- qressed the convention yestérday and savagely arraigned the Republican party for its aMiliation with the dramshops. This is a discouraging response to the pa- thetic appeal of the Massachusetts Re- publicans who want to absorb the Prohibi- tionists in order toannihilate the whisky- railroad monopoly and the whole world would cry shame on such a policy. It would eventually rend the Western prov- inces from the Eastern, and perhaps make the latter eager for annéxation to the United States. Sir Jonn MacponaLp’s talk may tend to discourage the building of the Red River Valley road, but if its builders persist, itis not at all probable that English statesmen will support him in any employment of force to carry out his threats. Whatever is unlawful in the enterprise can be made all right by an act of the Dominion Parliament, which that body can have no decent reason for re- fusing to pass. * — * — | THE STAT IN SHARP’S CASE. Judge POTTER’s reason for granting a stay of execution in the Sharp case is that, in his opinion, the appeal for a new trial will certainly be granted by the Appellate. Court on the ground that the trial judge erred in admitting certain evidence. The alleged error on which Judge Porrxn lays most stress is the admission of the self-in- culpatory testimony which SHARP gave before the Railroad Committee of the State Senate. The use of that testimony against SHARP as defendant in a crim- inal trial was, in Judge Potrer’s opinion, illegal, a violation of the constitutional guarantee that No person shall be com- ‘*pelled in any criminal case to be a wit- ness against himself.“ The telegraphic report of the decision does not show how Judge POTTER makes out that to put in evidence against a man the statements he voluntarily made out of court, and where he was under no compilsion to criminate himself, is to compel him to be a witness against himself. Of course, the use in travagance, a shameful premium upon oor- ruption and a serious menace to business. It is your duty to stop the surplus by reducing the taxes.’’ It President Cleveland had taken this action the attitude of the official head of the Demo- cratic party would have been right and his re- sponsibility would have ended. Congress could not meet without his call, and by failing to issue it the Administration, the party and the people alike suffer. Huntington Self- Convicted. From the New York Wortp. „1 had no idea of corrupting members of Congréss or having a benny expended in any other thana lawful way, said C. P. Hunt- ington to an interviewer yesterday, and he declared that there is not a word in the Col- ton letters which I desired to conceal trom the world.’’ Yet on March 7, 1877, he wrote to Friend Colton:’’ ‘‘I stayed in Washington two days to fix up Rallroad Committee of Sen- ate. On October 30 of the same year: 1 think the Rallroad Committee is right, but the Committee on Territories 1 do not like. A dif- ferent one was promised me.’’ On January 17, 1878: It costs money to fix things, so I know that his (Scott's) bill would not pass. I believe that with $200,000 I can pass our bill, but I take ititis not worth that much to us.’’ And these are some of the words from which Mr. Huntington says ‘‘none but an evil mind could extract wrong. A Brutal Boycott, From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The dead daughter of A reputable and re- sponsible citizen seeks burial, and no under- taker will officiate. Why? Beeause the hus- band of the daughter incurred a debt of $78 in the burial of his previous Wife, and did not pay it. Therefore the Undertakers Protective Association, under their rules, boycott the family. The father of the dead woman ten- ders the money requisite to the funeral ex- penses, but the undertakers still refuse, un- less the previous bill, with which this father had nothing to do, is paid.

The State of Affairs Exaggerated—Dodging the Injdnetions—Sir John Macdonald Misrepresentea—The Matter to Be Fought in the Courte—Claim Set Up by the Prov- inee—Building the Red River Valley Rau- road. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraren. New YoRK, August 26.—John Norquay, the Premier of Manitoba, is at the Hotel Victoria. He is considerably over six feét in height and tips the scales at 800 pounds and is as good- natured as he is big. His errand here is ot a private nature and has no connection, he says, with the difficulties between the Provincial and Dominion Governments over the building of the Red River Valley Railroad, which dre just now attracting 80 much attention. „left Winnipeg,“ he said, before the real trouble began, and therefore kaew what is transpiring only through hearsay. It was said that I came away in order to avoid the injunctions, but that is not so, as I was not aware that injiinction pro- ceedings were even contemplated. It is my belief that the state of things has been some- what exaggerated in the printed reports, and although the people along the line of the new road are thoroughly imbued with the idea that it must be built, whatever the difficulties in the way, I hardly think violence will be re- sorted to. Sir John Macdonald has been quoted as saying that the building of the road must be stopped. A public man’s sentiments are often misrepresebted in print, and I often find myself ready to doubt whether Sir John ever said any such thing. The whole matter is one to be settled in the courts,and it is there that 1 look for the fight. If necessary, of course, we shall apply to the Imperial Gevern- ment. A CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION. The main question is a constitutional one. You willremember that the old Province of Manitoba was a Comparatively small one, and under its constitution we had authority to build railroads between any points within its boundaries. In 1881 the province was greatly enlarged by the annexation of large tracts of contiguous territory. With this additional territory we contracted to accept all the con- stitutional disabilities under which it labored. Among these was a clause which forbade the 7 chartering or building of a road between fifteen wiles of the boundaries of the Canadian Pacific road. We claim that the ac- ceptance of these conditions in the annexation did not apply to the old Province, and that therefore we had un- doubted authority to build a road within the old territory. When our local Assembly de- cided to construct the Red River Railroad in compliance with the righteous demands of the eopie of our province, from Winnipeg te the Inited States boundary line at West nn, the charter in the regular course of such affairs came under the scrutiny of the Governor- General, and he disallowed it, not on the ground that We had no auth rity to grant such a charter and bulid such a road, but because it would be contrary to the established policy of the Government, The building of a railroad in any other part of the province has never called for interference, butin this instance, when we are endeavoring to give a proper outlet to the people for their products, strenuous efforts are made to prevent the consummation ot the plan. At present there are two roads from Winnipeg to the United States — & both controlled by the Cana- dian Pacific Railroad. One runs several miles to the westward and nearly parallel to the Red River, and the other several miles to the eastward. Both ure sofar away from the thickly populated portion of the country, tlie station accommodations are so poor and the rates so exorbitant that they are patronized sparingly by the people. The new road will ran through the thickly settied Red River Val- ley, there will be suitable stations about every eight miles, and reasonable rates will be assured. Why then should not the farmers — the line take a deep interest in the KEEPING AHEAD OF INJUNCTIONS. „But will not tue injunction issued by the courts be heeded at all? „Well, that is a question,’’ replied the Pre- mer. ‘‘Thusfar the contractors have been successful in keeping ahead of the 1 that is to say, shey have finished the work to which the injunctions apply before the pa- = restraining them cou be served. he anadian Pacific made an effort to cut us off at Morris by buying property directly on our line and building aspur from theif road across it. Before they could atop it, the contractors had built the grade of the new road at that spot and fenced it in. It 16 a grave Question whether the courts have authorit to issue injunctions in this case in direct violation of the expressed Will ofthe people. Not only has our localA . bly authorized if, but three out of five of our Members of Parliament have expressed them- selves asin favor ot the construction of the road. Of coutse we expect to have considera- bie trouble in getting the road through, and, while we are prepared to 1 * for it, I don't anticipate that there will any bloodshed on account of it. This talk about rebellion is the purest rot, and not only will not occur, but will not be necessary, as we are in the right, and so it will oubtless be eventually decided.

This attack so frightened the horse that the animal threw him and ran away. Two of the masked band then seized the prostrate man, who was considerably hurt by the fall, and the spokes- man of the regulators stated the e — against him. ey accused him of having shot and thrown rocks at + passing the Whittacre house on the public road. They told him they were Bald Knobbers and brave men, and if he disobeyed their orders he would be severely whipped. THREATENED WITH A WHIPPING. They told him to sell all of his shooting- irons and pay off a hired hand who had been working for him in ten days, or at the end of that time he might expect a whipping. The witness described the masks worn by the Knobbers as beiug black caps covering the entire face and suriaounted by two horns, striped with red and white and ending in long red tassels. Whittacre thought he knew some of the men by their forms and voices. Wm. John testified to the initiation of John Robertson. games Johnson, the young Baptist minister, admitted that he had been forced into the Knobbets’ ranks. He was present at the Whittacre assault, and identified the Knob- bers. Mathews Shipman testified that at an initia- tion allthe men were masked except the can- didate. He said that at the initiation of Rob- ertson the candidate fainted on hearing the oath. Other witnesses were examined to show Bill Walker's connection with the case. — A New Summer Luxury.

EAST ST. LOUIS. A Brief aud Bloodless Mill—John Eyseli’s Curious Death— Notes. A brief and bloodless fistic encounter be- tween Alderman Egan and Auditor Kirk d6c- curred late yesterday afternoon inthe City Hall and occasioned considerable excitement. About half an hour before the time set for the Council meeting Alderman Egan made his ap- pearance at the City Hall, and from remarks which he made to his friends about the man- ner in whieh Kirk had written him up in the paper which the latter edits, trouble was expected when the two should meet. Kirk was rather late in showing up and when he did come he entered the build- ing by the door on the south side and reached his office without being observed by Egan, who was standing inthe door of Treasurer Renshaw’s office waiting for the Auditor to come down Main street, when he meant to ac- cost him. The Treasurer’s office is right next to Kirk’s and when Egan heard Kirk’s voices in the next room he went there at once. Kirk was just about to take his seat when Egan entered, and seated around were Mayor Stephens and Aldermen Marsh and Tefft. Egan walked right up to K and making some remark about the maler in which he had been used in the columns of the Gazette, struck Kirk a blow in the face with his t. The biow vr ge ae the Auditor slightly, but he recovered himself in an instant and made for his assailant. They scuffied forafew seconds, when Egan stumbled ove some article of furniture and fell. In his fal a revolver dropped out of his hip pocket and was picked up by one of the Aldermen who were spectators. When Egan fell Kirk was réstrained from doiig him any harm, and the fight ended. Egan went immediately to Squire Bunyan’s court and said he desired to plead guilty to fighting and threw down enough money to a fine and costs. He took this action to anticipate any prosecu- tion by Kirk, but the latter followed him to the ’Squire’s office and asked Squire Bunyan not to accept the plea as he intended to swear out a warrant against Egan for assault and carry- ing concealed weapons. The plea was, ac- cordingly, not accepted and the warrant taken out. Egan was allowed to go on his own recognizance and the hearing of the case set for Thursday next. Egan claimed this morning that the cause of his fall in the scuffle was the interference of Mayor Stephena, who he says, grabbed hold of him from behind and ulled backward while Kirk was endeavoring o down him. The Mayor denies having in- terfered, and states that Egan’s fall was caused by Kirk pushing him over a piece of furniture. The assault was provoked by a number of paragraphs in last week’s Gazette, which is edited by Kirk, accusing Egan and Alderman Russell of being in favorof and advocating the reintroduction of gambling. A man named John Eysell fell from the wagon-bridge which crosses Cahokia Creek near Vaughan’s dyke, yesterday afternoon and sustained Injuries from which he died a the police station last night. Eysell was sit- ting on the railing of the bridge when a man named John — | of 1321 N. Sixth street St. Louis, came along and, noticing that Evsell was somewhat under the in- finence of liqour and inclined to doze, he accosted him and warned him that he was in a dangerous position and had better seek a safer place to sleep. Eysell replied that he was all right where he was, and Mur- phy walked on. hen be had gone a short istance, prompted by curiosity, he turned around and saw that Eyseil had disappeared, He at once surmised that the unfortunate fel- low had fallen over the railing into the creek and ran back to see. When he reached the bridge he saw Eysell just rising above the surface of the water. He ran down the bank and fished him out. A tel- ephone message for the 1 — Wagon was sent to the police station, and Eysell was conveyed there. It wasfound that he had been badly injured about the head by striking à project- ing beam in his fall. When brought to the station he was made as comfortable as possible in a cell, and no seri- ous termination oof his injury was apprehended. He told the turnkey that he had been 8 by the Santa Fe Rallroad and haa relatives living in Duquoin. He was walking about when Dr. Wiggins, who had been sent for, arrived, but when the cell door wus opened and he was led out to have his in- jury examined, he complained of being faint and asked for a chair. It was brought him, but when the doctor saw the pallor of death on his countenance he ordered the turnkey to get a mattress. This was done and KEysell was laid down on it, and though Dr. Wiggins worked hard to revive him his efforts were unavailing and the man died in afew minutes. Coroner Woods held an inquest this morning and returned a verdict in accordance with the above facts. Michael MeGlynn, publisher of the East St. Louis Herald, willsever his connection with that journal in a few days and go to Gilman City, Colo., to take charge of the Rocky Moun- tain Enterprise.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., August 26.—The Illinois Staats Zeitung, in urging attendance upon the German Catholic Convention at Chicago, re- cently attacked the Catholic Advocate of this city for likening the German language to ‘‘grunts of swine, and for an alleged at- tempt to drive out the German tongue. Edl- tor Henderson said of this to-day: ‘‘The vy. Dr. McGlynn, in an article pub- lished in the North American Re- view for August, bitterly inveighed against the Catholic Church, charging it with I vast territorles in Amer- ica, and isolating the people in speech and customs from their fellow-citizens. Tne Ad- vocate denied thatthe church had taken any such stand, but, on the contrary, said the sacred college at Rome had rejected the peti- tions of certain Germans—cleric and lay—who sought to have a recognition of their speech and customs specially provided for by the church. The Advocate said that English is the most. perfect speech God has given man, and should be the national speech ofgAmerica. It is said the English-speak- ing people for 200 years past wished the Ger- man greater wit and fewer consonants. Other European nations asserted that the utterance of Germans resembled the sound of pigs speaking civilized tongues with a bad accent. e advocates of this form of speech want uow to establish its discordant grunts in America, and desired by aside wind to gain the assist- ance of the Catholic Church to English. This language immigrants desire to pe tuate in America, and Catholics cod Peossatantes ually desire to maintain it in our midst and oust the language of the nation. The Catholic Church has given a set- back to this monstrous assumption. It will provide German pastors where it can for flocks that exclusively speak that language, and it will provide pastors who are familiar with the German tongue for parishes where the knowledge of the parishioners of English is of limit extent. The church will do no more, It will not assign special parochial bounds and specific territory for German speaking in America. Mr. M. J. Bryant, Whosfor many years has been connected with the clothing business in St. Louis has accepted a position with F. W. Humphrey & Co., North- east corner Broadway and Pine street, where he will be pleased to serve his friends. THE SEPTEMBER TERM, Justice Miller to Open the United States Cir- cuit Court—Fotheringham’s Case. The September term of the United States Circuit Court begins on September 19. Sep- tember 8 is the last day forservice. The docket will be exceptionally small, on ac- count of the division of the dis- trict by the last Congress, and the increase in the amount involved which is necessary to bring a case before the court. Formerly only $500 was required to be in- volved; now the amount is $2,000. There will robably by three Judges onthe bench, Jus- ice Miller, Judge Brewer and Judge Thayer. Justice Miller is here once intwo years and is ag ny ye | due in September. The case of Fotheringham the Adams Ex- — messenger who was accused of robbing is car on the Frisco road and has sued tue Adams Company for damages will be the most interesting case on the docket. He was re- strained of his liberty by the company’s agents and after the termination of the crim- inal prosecution against him resulting in * dismissal on account of fack of jurisdiction he brought civil suitagainst the company for $100,000 in the Oity Circuit Court. The company, being a foreign corporation, removed the case to the United States Circuit Court. The transcript has not yet been filed in the latter court, but will be in afew days.

Va., August 26.—This entire Congressional District is excited over the news of the escapade in which ex-Con- gressman Eustace Gibson has just figured. Judge MoGinnis of the State Circuit Court, and Mr. Gibson have for years been on unfriendly terms. A few days ago while Gibson was de- fending a hopeless case in the Circuit Court at Huntington he took occasion, so it is said, to charge that the Judge was open to bribery, and that there was no use trying to get justicefrom either the court or jury. While walking on the streets of Hunt- ngton Wednesday afternoon Gibson is al- leged to have used most foul and vile language concerning the court, calling the Judge op- probrious epithets, and making use of lan- guage highly derogatory to his Fudicial part- ner. As soon asthe court reconvened Gibson was arraigned upon a charge of contempt. The court was crowded to overflowing. The examination was conducted amid intense ex citement. After listening to the testimony of a number of the most reputable men, Judge MoGinnis fined Mr. Gibson 3 and ordered him sent to 2 for ten days. Yesterday efforts were madein his behalf fora release from custody, but the Judge refused to modify the sentence, and the ex-Congressiman must fill out his term in jail. PROPOSED RIVER CONVENTION. A Call Issued for a Meeting at Memphis Next October. Mr. D. B. Wood of New Orieans, Chairman of the Executive Committee on the Improve- ment of the Western Waterways, has issued a call for a convention to be held in the city of Memphis, Tenn., on the 20th and ist of Octo- ber next. The call bas been issued because of a request made by the Memphis peo- ple on account of the failure of the river and harbor bill to become a law. The object is to take such ste as will secure on the part of Congress proper action looking tothe proper improvement of the Wes waterways.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. New York, August 26.—For the first time since Chinamen came into New York they yesterday enjoyed a genuine Chinese wrest- ling match. The bout was between two of their best Athietes in this country, Mark Fay Yin of this city and Moy Chio of Philadel- phia. The pig-tailed gladiators met in a rear yard of No. 18 Mott street. Long before the appearance of the wrestiers the yard was filled with excited Ohinese sports, who paid 25 cents admission fee and wagered their money on their respective choices, The principals received 75 per cent of the gate money, and, according to Chinese custom, the winner got an ad dition ot 7 per cent of the money won by all the lucky betters present. In selecting favor- ites among their wrestling country- men the Chinese pay very little atten- tion to size or strength of the man, but are governed by the contestants’ athletic training and jumping ability. The athletic schools of China train their pupils in jumping by tying sandbags about the pupils’ ankles and making the aspirants for athletic, honors jump out of holes dug in the ground. At 4p. m. the wrestlers appeared. Both stripped to the waist, and their limbs were tightly bound with strong strips of dark blue cotton. Manager Fong then announced the conditions of the battle: The winner to best his antagonist in three out of four rounds. The athletes began in almost cock- fighting style and for ten minutes sparred for a hold. Then Mark Fay Yin swung his right leg in front of his antagonist, gave a sudden sweep with both arms and Moy plunged into a mud pool. Betting, 9 to 1 on Yin. Inthe second round Moy got Mark’s neck between his fingers and twisted it as if he had hold of a ‘‘Amelican’’ man’s shirt and were starching it, while Mark’s hands were wildly clutching the air. A fall tor Moy. Mark won the next two falls andthe match amid noisy enthusi- asm. — — THOSE POSTPONED GAMES, How They Will Affect the Result Between Boston and Chicago. From the Chicago Tribane. Now that there are four postponed Chicago- Boston games quite a complication arises over the question as to where and when the four games can be played. Two of these games, as telegraphed from Boston, have been arranged for September &, in Chicago, leaving two to be played at some other time or passed by altogether. The games can’t be played Sun- day or after October 8, forthe reason that the League constitution forbids either plan. Fur- thermore, there are no available dates between now and October 8, except the date already re- ferred to. There are three days for which there are no games scheduled—September 29, October 4 and October 7. September 28 Chicago plays Pittsburg at Chicago and Boston plays New York at New York, so it is hardly possible to get the clubs together the next day, especially as Boston is due at Philadel- phia September 30, and Chicago has an en- gagement with Indianapolis at Indianapolis. October 3 Chicago is in Indianapolis and Bos- ton in Philadelphia, and October 5 Chicago is due in Pittsburg and Boston in Washington. October 6 Chicago is in Pittsburg and Boston in Washington, and the Sth the same en- gagements hold good. The only way, therefore, to play off the games is to play them during the series of September 22 or 23, when Boston plays here. In order to do this it will be necessary to get the consent of all the League clubs both as to two games a day aud as to playing them in Chicago. By that time the struggle will be waxing decidedly hot, and if any of the clubs imagine that the arrangementis to their detriment they will promptly kick and the games can't in conse- uence be played. It would doubtless be to Jhicago’s advantage to play the postponed games on her own grounds, and that in itself might cause a fuss, to say nothing of other complications. It is suggested that this might be avoided by amr pny — games on some neutral ground, ut as Boston and Chicago are scheduled to play here in the afternoon of the three days they could hardly go far away enough to get to a neutral ground and get back to Ohicago. The championship is decided by percentages aud not by the number of games won and lost, and for this reason it is not absolutely necessary that the three games should be layed in order to settle the struggle. ut if Chicago needed the two games and thought she could win them both, or one ofthetwo, she would be pretty apt to insist that they be played, while some of the other League clubs might object on either side of the question. None of the Chicago men seem to know exactly what will be done. They say, however, that it is not likely any action will be taken immediately by the League. Won Three Straight. The Browns added another game to their big lead yesterday by defeating the Baltimores the third consecutive time. Kilroy and Ca- ruthers were both batted rather heavily. The contest was dull and uninteresting and dragged slowlyto the end. The feature of the game was Welch’s phenomenal muff in the second inning. The record was: Browns— Runs, 14; hits, 20; errors, 4.

Pete Browning, says yesterday’s Courier- Journal, who has been getting drunk again, was fined $50 after the conclusion of yester- day’s game with the Athletics. Manager Kelly threatened to suspend him forthe rest of the earif he did not improve in his conduct. iver since the Louisville club has attained second place in the championship race, Browning has been spreeing frequentiy, keep- ing irregular hours and induiging in bad company. Pete has not been playing up te his usual mark of late. He has taken a big dropin batting, and his work in center field has been marked by costly and flagranterrors. The fact is that a little indulgence has spoiled the Gladiator. Manager Kelly readily admits that Browning is a great ball player when in good trim, but he affirms that Pete can play the worst game in the country when saturated with whisky. Srowning’s playing yesterday was wretched. He had not entirely sobered up from a de- bauch on Tuesday night. n the first inning he made sucha feeble attempt to get under Robinson’s fly ball that the latter made a home run on the hit, Brownin falling down twice in scrambling after the bali. At the bat Pete was worse than useless. He merely pecked at the ball, and made no unnecessary exertions to drive inarun, although he had several opportunities. Browning struck out three times and did not make a hit. Al- together he played with such indifference that Manager Kelly assessed him the fine, claim- ing 2 the player was halt drunk on the ball eld.

Association Meets September 5. Official notice has been promulgated by Sec- retary Wikoff to the effect that the special meeting of the American Association, which was fixed for September 8, at New York, will be held on Séptember5, the following Monday. The change was made at the request of Messrs. Simmons, Sharsig and Mason ofthe Athletics, whose presence is required in Philadelphia on September 2. On that day the Athletics havea home game, and as the three pro- prietors do not keep books, and divide the re- ceipts after each game, they cennot leave the city. The Mets To-Morrow.

The Mets arrived in the city this morning from Cincinnati. They are stopping at the Lindell. Brooklyn will be the last of the Eastern clubs to play in St. Louis this season. They play here Monday. Caruthers says he thinks and hopes that the Philadeiphias will win the League pennant. Bob has no sympathy with his native city. A. W. Stuart, whom Washington signed early last fall, was released to Newark in July. He is now released to the tender mercies of a hard, cold world. Handsome Billy Holbert is troubled with a sore band. He says although he may not catch to-morrow, the Browns will not steal as many bases as they hope to. Manager Barnie of Baitimore left the city last night, feeling rather sore over dropping three straight to the Browns. Noone will be particularly sorry for him, however. Jack Kirby, the St. Louis pitcher, formerly of the Maroonsand more recently of the Cleve- lands, has been released bythe latter club. Heis now at liberty to sign anywhere he pleases. The little difficulty in which Dave Orr found himself with a New York Deputy Sheriff, referred to in the POST-DISPATCH the other day, detains him in New York. The Mets need him, too. President Stern of Cincinnati is on his mettie. He says he will make a demand that Bauer umpire no more games in which his club will participate. Mr. Stern evidently does not want the Red Legs to win the pennant. The champions Pay the Mets on Sunday, September 4, at Weehawken, on the Jersey side, opposite Forty-second street, New York City.

The Cincinnati Club secured his appointment. It will be worth while watching how many successive games Bauer umpires in Cincinnati. Brook- lyn had her Knight for weeks and weeks. Now comes Cincinnati’s Bauer. Mr. A. J. Piercy, manager of the Alameda grounds, near San Francisco, Cal., where the champions and Detroits hold forth this winter, telegraphed President Von der Ahe this morning that he would be in st. Lonis next week. He is none other than Andy Piercy, the once great second baseman of the Chicagos in years gone by. He went to Cali- fornia, inherited considerable property ieft by his father, and is * wealthy. His grounds this winter will, no doubt, be the scene of the liveliest games ever witnessed in California. The agitation of the hour is the umpire question in the National Indian games be- tween the Cherokees and Choctaws, who play at Sportsman's Park, September 29, 30, and Oetober 1 and 2. It will take six umpires to properly decide the facinating yet intricate points of the game. Two have already been secured in Al Collins and Billy Medart. and President Von der Ahe this morning received word from Mr. Samson Baer of the Missouri Tinware Company, stating that he was thoroughly familiar with the Indians and would gladly tender his services to officiate.

Two Pennsyl- vania clubs were taken in toreplace Oswego and Utica, but the season is so nearly closed now that the nine remaining clubs will finish alone. It is thought that all of the Bingham- ton games will be thrown out. If so Buffalo will get a strong lead, asshe has lost five games in nine to Binghamton, while Newark has lost but twoin seven, and Syracuse but two in twelve, Says the New York Mail and Express: ‘‘The New Yorks lead the League in both batting and base running, yet why the team does not hold a better place is not easily explained; but then, it would be equally as hard to explain why they did not win the pennant in 1885, when tney won the series from all the other clubs, led in both batting and fielding, and their pitchers had the best records. There are many mysteries connected with the national game that are neverexplained. However, this race is not over yet.’’ Umpire Powers was given an unmerciful tongue-lashing at the close of Saturday's game at Pittsburg. Barkelev, speaks for the Allegheny players, charged him with being a thief and deliberately throwing the game in favor of Chicago. For a while the air was blue with epithets, big and little, as they dropped in quick succession from the great fieider’s lips.

There is a great deal of talk about Anson’s great ability as a manager, but few seem to recognize the good qualities of Harry Wright of the Philadelphias.

In fact, these clubs are so close to- wether thatasingle game will change their positions. The Philadelphiaclub has not so many star players asthe otherclubs, but holds its own in a way that does great credit to the able management of Mr. Wright.

By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, August 26.—The champion of all champions will not to goto England on Sep- tember 10, as originally intended, but will sail laterinthe month. His manager, Sheedy, came to this city from Boston yesterday and said: I will sail on the Servia September 10 and will make dates and a route for Sullivan and Ashton, who will spartogether. I gota letter from Bin Fleming, the backer of Jem Smith, and he asks me to go over to help keep up his end in the Kilrain match. Jem will win easy, of that I am sure, for I am positive that Kilrain is a rank quitter. He never went at a man to finish him but always sparred to avoid finish- ing him. He is always satisfied with a draw, and when he met Mitchellalthough the result was a draw Mitchell had a shade the best of it. When Smith and Mitchell box Jem shows so well that it’s $190 to $5 than he can do Charlie. Kilrain is a gentlemanly fellow, but is none of the bull-dog, and I tell you a fighter to be suc- cessfu} must have plenty of bull-dog courage, especially according to the ring rules. I am going to be at the ring when Jem and Jake meet, andI will say to Jake: ‘Ihave called ou a coward many a time; now prove me a iar.” John willbe there, too, with the stuff and will challenge the winner. John may sail on the Servia on the trip succeeding mine. At all events, he will be on British soil before Oc- tober 15, and we will begin our tour about that date.’ Magee the Best Swimmer. PHILADELPHIA, August 26.—The champion- ship among the long-distance swiinmgs of America, $350a side, was won by Robert Magee of Baltimore in aten-mile race on the Dela- ware yesterday. The contestants were T. B. Butler and W. H. Blackhurstof Philadelphia, and Robert Magee of Baltimore. The wind was blowing a gale down the river and the tide was running up. At 2:50 p. m. the word‘ Go was given. Magee and Blackhurst took the water together. Butler dived from the pier. Butler’s stroke was powerful and long and to his advantage, and the men were bunched for the first fifty yards. For the few moments they swam well together. When they had gone 100 yards Butler was leading, with Black hurst a close second. At the end of the first mile Butler was swimming a 38 stroke, Magee 2and Blackhurst 31 tothe minute. Opposite the Tincum, Magee increased his stroke to 48 and rapidly overhauled the other two men and, before Fort Mifflin was reached, passed Blackhurst and Butler. He easily maintained his lead to the finish. The time of the men was: Ma- gee, 2:67:00; Butler, 3:10:20; Blackhurst, 3:25:20. Butler, who has held the champion ship of America for five years, took his defeat gracefully, and when he shook hands with Magee after the race said: ‘‘I have been fair- ly beaten, and I will say that I know all swim- mers and you arethe greatest swimmer in the world.’’ Magee is 26 years old and was born in Baltimore. He is a packer by trade. IS HE A FRAUD? A Man Who Is Anxious That His Wife Should Believe Him Dead. A man giving his name and address as „Silas R.

We will probably not continue that late this year, but we still havea good season to work in. The results have been very satisfactory. At the meetings I have seen three, four and five per- sons hold up their hands for prayer. Some of them had not been to church in years, their education having been neglected or having strayed away from the church. They happened to at- tend a meeting in progress, and often I have seen tears in their eyes. These are good ro- sults. In our own ranks the union has been cemented. We have meetings every Sunday afternoon and on every Saturday evening at 7:30 we concentrate our forcesfor a union service. We have had a business meeting and rehearsal every two weeks, which has brought us together and prepared us for work. the results of the meetings so far are highly satis- factory. Notes. Rev. W. H.
