J., firemen Arrested for In- cendiarism—A Startling Exposure. PLAINFIELD, N. J., August 29.—The seven cells in che city prison were occupied all day yesterday and last night by seven members of the Plainfield Volunteer Fire Department: Theodore Van Ness, Lewis Van Ness, Horace Van Ness, George Reed, Philip Hapenny,. Robert Skinner and John Jackson, The prisoners were arrested between 2and 4 o’clock yesterday morning, accused of having been the originators of the hundred or more incendiary fires that have taken place inthe city during the last ten or twelve years. About a year ago so numerous did the fires become that the Board of Fire Underwriters of New York sent two Pinkerton detectives to Plainfield to ferret out the culprits. Four months afterward the Common Council offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture and conviction of the guilty per- sons. Then the Police Committee of the Council employed Edward Murphy to run down the incendiaries. Mr. Murpby’s frst move was to secure 4 job in the Scott Printing-Press Works. Then he made himself solid with several of the boys employed there and was introdaced by themto friends in the fire department, where Mr. Murphy suspected the culprits would be found. Wednesday night being pay night at the factory, all the boys would be on hand at Fred Casper’s beer-bottling estab- lishment and saloonon Second street, and there they would meetthe fire laddies and with them spend the night. A peculiarity of these Wednesday night meetings was that there would almost invariably be an alarm of fire about midnight and the engines would be called out. Everybody in Casper’s would RUN TO THE FIRE, have a good time and then return to their stam ping-ground and drink the beer that patri- otic citizens would set up. Murphy proved him- self a hale fellow well met and it was not long before he was elected a member of Engine Company No. 2, whose house isin Front street, near Grove. He was soon admitted to all the secrets of the company and in less than a month he was convinced that a majority of the fires were started by members of the company just for the fun of the thing. Hecommuni- cated what he had learned to Chairman Carey of the Police Committee, and it was decided to set a trap for one of the firemen and capture him in the act of setting fire to a building. The result, it is said, was even better than had been expected. John Jackson, a member of Company No.1, was the man selected to work upon. Murphy 8 to him on Friday evening that a little bonfire be built somewhere. Jackson fell into the trap. A house on Grant avenue, owned by Fracer & Lee Bros., and occupied by Frazer, was selected to be fired, and 2 o’clock Sunday morning was the time set. Murphy, on Saturday morning, informed Committeeman Carey of the plan, and the lat- ter agreed to be on hand and arrest Jackson in the act. About midnight Jackson and Murphy started for the house, carrying with them a couple of boxes of matches and a quart bottle of kerosene oil. After arriving at the scene of action, Jackson spilled the oil on the back steps leading into the kitchen of the house.

Joe Furber’s Friends Say He Will Get the Doctor’s Scalp — Charges Said to Be Forthcoming From Em- pluyes—Examining the City’s Water Ser- vice—Making the Street-Sprinklers Pay— Diphtheria Increasing — Municipal ters. Joseph Furber, brother of the Second Ward politician, has been discharged from the In- sane Asylum, where he held the position of chief Clerk. Superintendent Atwood de- manded Furber’s resignation last a the clerk refased it until he could consult ¥. jnfluential friends in the city. To do this ne left the asylum without permission. On this the superintendent took action, which has been approved by the Health Com- missioner and confirmed by the Board of Health. On Friday morning Futber called at the Mayor’s office fbr an understanding, but after waiting in the ante-room for some time was told that His Honor had been calied away, and had departed through the Chestnat street private entrance. This confirmed the suspicion among Furber’s friends that the trouble came from the executive office on ac- count ofthe Furbers’ friendship for George W. Allen. At the Health Department there ts a disposition to consider the matter entirely settled. Health Commissioner Dudley says Furber’s place atthe asylum has been filled. Dr. Dudley and Dr. Atwood refuse to make any statement whatever concerning the case. Since Saturday it has been reported that Furber proposes to get Dr. Atwood’s scalp in retaliation. A meeting of the Charity Com- missioners has been called for 4p. m. to-mor- row. This fact gers the impression that the complaint would be formulated and presented to the Commissioners. President Waterworth of the Board was asked concerning the matter to-day,’ and replied that as far as he knew there were no charges before the Board. He had not heard of any charges against Dr. Atwood or any of the officers answerable tothe Board. The meet- ing to-morrow will be thefregular monthly meeting. No special business is docketed. Furber took no action to-day although his friends claim he has facts to support charges of religious intolerance and violations of the rules governing the institution. Inspecting the Water- Works.

The object ot the trip is to ex- amine the low-service pumping. works at Bissel’s Point, and the proposed site for the new plant at the Chain of Rocks. Several of the Delegates and Councilmen who in- tended to make the trip were disap- pointed by the change of date. It was at first proposed to make the trip to-morrow, but on Saturday notices were sent out notifying Councilmen and Delegates that the excursion would be made this morning instead of to- morrow morning as originally proposed. The excursionists did not return until this after- noon. They Must Pay. Assessor Temple is sparing no effort to gath- erin all the money due the city through his office. In this effort he has brought on himself the dislike of the sprinkling contractors.

Kurrus, in East St. Louis. The surroundings were well calculated to deeply impress those in attendance. Such a large crowd had as- sembled to hear the testimony that it was found necessary to station two police officers at the door to exclude all persons who wished to attend merely to gratify their morbid curi- osity. Notwithstanding the strict exclu- sion of all people of the class mentionea, the room was well crowded and owing to a scarcity of chairs cof- fin boxes were used for seats while the clerk of the jury and reporters, for want of a better place, were forced to do their writing on the shroud case. The post-mortem examination, which was made by Drs. Lemen and Garlock of St. Louis and Drs. Hudson and Winton of East St. Louis took up about an hour and it was about llo’clock when the Coroner started to take testimony. The first witness called was DR. J. L. LEMEN of 2287 Lucas avenue, St. Louis. Hesaid: ‘‘I received a telephone message about 9 o’clock Friday night to call and see deceased. I found him unconscious. Iwas told he had been in- jured, and lexamined his head. I asked when he had been injured, and a member of the family informed me that he had been hurt the night before. Ifoundacutin the right side of forehead extending down to the bone which I ascertained had been fractured. I found an- other cut under his jaw on the right side. He was also bruised over the right ear, but the scalp was not opened at that point. linformed the family that his injuries were very serious. I dressed the wound and told them that the fracture would neoessitate an elevation of the fractured bone. Dr. Garlock andI held a consultation next morn- ing at 9 o’clock and we concluded to operate immediately. With a trephine I took out the button bone and elevated the de- Pressed portion. I last saw him about 11 Oo clock Saturday night. I assisted at the post- mortem and found jthat a large amount of blood had accumulated on the brain. I found, also, that what had = peared to be a bruise over the right ear was in reality a fracture of a portion of the temporal bone, and found that the brain substance had been ruptured. I don’t think it was possible for him to recover. When questioned by State’s-Attorney Holder Dr. Leman said that the fractures were en- tirely separate and had undoubtedly been caused by separate blows. In his opinion the wound on the forehead was inflicted with a dull, cutting instrument, and the one over the right ear by a blunt instrument. DR. 8. E. GARLOCK of 8019 Easton avenue, St. Louis, was next called. His testimony was in substance the same as Dr. Lemen’s. Hehad been called Saturday morning to assist in a consultation with Dr. Lemen and after an examination of the man’s injuries they decided on the operation which Dr. Lemen described He thought the blow over the right ear was — — which was the immediate cause of eath. The widow of the deceased was next called. She gave her name as MARY WELCH, and her residence at 1812 Elliot avenue, St. Louis. She said: My husband left home about 7 o’clock Thursday morning. He was brought home about 8o’clock the same evening by a man named McGuire and another poe un- known to me, but whom believe to be Tom Canty. I spoke to my husband but he was unconscious. The stranger told me that my husband had been arrested in East St. Louis for not having a license, and that he had gone on his bond and had him released. He told me also that my husband had sustained his injury by falling from his wagon. He died about 4 o’clock Saturday afternoon, and made no statement to me before his death except to say that he had been hit. Idid not learn from him by whom he had been struck. At the conclusion of Mrs. Welch’s testimonv the inquest was adjourned until 1:30this af- ternoon. THF ACCUSED. John Griffin, Tom Canty and Pat Lynch, the three men arrested and charged with the mur- der, were not brought down from Belleville, where they are confined in the County Jail, to be present atthe inquest, as they were not desirous of making statements until the A. r hearing. It has been ascertained y Chief of Police Walsh that Griffin is the man who was the principal in the assault on Welch, and testimony will be adduced to that effect, but whether Canty or Lynch assisted him is not positively known. Chief Walsh states that Canty, shortly after his arrest Saturda night, told him that Griffin had struck Welch in the forehead with a beer glass, but denied having taken any part in the assault himself. Several parties who were called into the saloon by Canty just after the occurrence, will testify that when they saw Welch he had a pair of brass knuckles on, but it is reported that other testimony will be brought out to show that the knuckles were put on Welch’s hands by his assailants. From present ap- pearances it looks asifit will go hard with Griffin, and Ganty may have trouble in clearing hypseltf of blame. The inquest afternoon. Con ER THE RECESS. s resumed at 2:30 o’clock this e Harry Morris, an eye- lows: J was in the saloon when the tween Griffin and Welch began. What it was about I do not know, as I did not pay any atten- tion to their conversation. I saw Welch strike at Griffin. Whether or not he had on brass knuckles, I am unable to state, as he was standing with his back to me, Grif- fin dodged the blow, and picking up a beer glass struck Welch square in the uarrel be- forehead. He hit him asecond time and then they clinched and both fell to the floor together, Welch being underneath, and striking his head on the iron foot-railing around the bar in his fall. Tom Canty wus behind the bar when the fight began and he lost no time in running out and pulling Griffin from Welch. Canty did not strike Welch, of that lam cer- tain. I did not think the man was hurt at all seriously or I would have arrested Grin.“ Morris istheonly eye-witness of the affair enerally known, but it is reported that Chief Falsh has found another who will give quite a different account of the affair in the erson ofa 10-year-old son of Chris Merz, a ostler at Kurrus’ livery stable. What Merz will testify to could not be learned. He was kept in the Chief's office all afternoon and a request of a POSsT- DISPATCH reporter to be allowed to talk with him met with * stubborn refusal.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 29.—A well- known citizen of this city, who chanced to take an interest in the pending court- martial of Lieut. Julius H. Weber of the Signal Corps, thus describes his efforts to secure a little in- formation with regard to the charges in the | case from the officials of the ‘‘circumlocution oftice’’ of the War Department: Regarding disobedience of orders and neg- lect of duty as rather vague and indefinite terms, I spent several hours this morning in the endeavor to secure the specific charges under which Lieut. Weber is to be tried. The etiquette of the department is very strict. The subordinates resent any attempt to go over their heads in matters relating to their duties, and the chief officers are equally punctilious in jnsisting that allinquiries shall first be submitted to them. Between the Scylia on the one side and the Charydis on the other, those who seek for reliable information must steer a careful course. The matter being of insufficient importance to be brought to the attention of the Secretary of War, I entered the waiting room of the chief clerk. A clerk in his shirt sleeves glanced up at me from a large book, in which he was writing, long enough to remark, ‘‘Mr. Tweedale is not in; see his assistant, nodding toward an open door. But Mr. Tweedale’s assistant also was out, and I ventured to explain the nature of my errand to the clerk, who listened without looking up from bis book, and then ejaculated, ‘‘Try the Adjutant-General.’’ I tried the Adjutant-General, first sending in my card and cooling my heels inthe hall out- side for twenty minutes. That official was fortified behind a large desk piled high with books and papers. Those matters do not reach me, said he, when I had explained the object of my search, ‘*step across the hall and see my chiet clerk.’ CALL ELSEWHERE. The Adjutant-General’s chief clerk is a tall, spare man, who evidently wastes no breath in talking, for when I bad told him the nature of my business he dived into a pigeon hole and brought out a slipof paper on which was printed: Mr. Brinkerhoff, room 121, at the same time pointing to the door. I ‘took the hint and the slip of paper, and found myself once more in the corridors. Up a flight of stairs this time to roof 121. Mr. Brinkerhoff was in, but un communicative. ‘*IT have no authority to give out such infor- mation without a written order from the Adjutant-General,’’ he said. Can you let me see the specifications if I get the order?’’ No, but Gen. Green will probably let you have a copy, or perhaps Gen. Lieber, the Judge Advocate General.’’ By this time I began to feel like a dead letter, ali scored across the back ‘‘ Misdirected,’’ but betook myself.once more to the Adjutant-Gen- eral’s room. A colored messenger stopped meat the door and informed me that the Adjutant-General was busy and would see no one. Itried Gen. Green. He had just gone vuttolunch. So had Gen. Lieber. There was but one hope left—perhaps Gen. Greely would consent to give me the desired information. So I proceeded to the Signal Office, where I was halted by another messenger: ‘‘Gen. Greely has moved, said he, at the same time pointing to a house a couple of blocks up the street, The right place this time, but the General was out. His assistant was in. I addressed myself to him. ‘‘I can say nothing,’’ he said. Lou must see the General himself. He will be in shortly.“ : Isat down and waited until the pangs of hunger drove me to a neighboring lunch coun- ter. had civen up the search, but before en- tering in the restaurant Iran up against the Chiet Signal officer, standing on the corner.

By a singular chance the arrest of Tillie Sanders was made this morning. On the 23d inst. the remains of a child were found in a vault in the rear of 1710 Chest- nut street, and it was cfaimed that they were laced therein by Tillie Sanders, a German omestic. Then she was lost sight of but the police have nad their eyes open for her, but no trace of her was dis- covered until this morning. At 123 South Seventh street is the notorious Tunnel House, kept by Lizzie Hilton, a sister of the Sanders girl. Officer Winslow Carr has the beat aeound that neighborhood, but he did not know the Sanders girl by sight, and was not positive about hername. Heand Officer Downey were talk- ing about the case at the Four Courts this morning when Carr mentioned such a person as Sanders as staying atthe Tunnel House. Downey, who knows her well, said: ‘‘I’ll just take a run down and get a look at her.’’ The two went down to 123 Seventh street and Downey, in going through the house, found Tillie Sanders. Ah, there, Tillie, you're here, eh?“ „es, I'm here, said the girl doggedly. „Well, come with us.“ And they took her to the Four Courts. This afternoon the Hilton woman, with a companion, called at the Coroner’s office and are negotiating the ar- rangements for making out the necessary bond. Ifthe bond be not made, Tillie, who is not in good health, was sent to the hospital. She is 1 slim-lookin German girl about 21 years of age, 5 feet inches in height, with auburn hair. She 1s very uncommunicative. The inquest will be held Wednesday morning. FOUR DEEP WOUNDS. Show How Savagely Kansas Annie“ Used Her Dirk Knife. Dr. Frank J. Lutz heid a post-mortem on the remains of the dead Knight woman killed in Saturday’s fight with Kansas Annie at Sixth and Elm sts., and submitted his report to Coroner Frazer to-day. He found four incised wounds, with clear cut edges as follows, showing how savagely the knife had been used: First, on the fore-arm midway between the wrist and elbow, a cut three and a half inches long, extending through the skin and exposin the ulna vein; second, a cut one inch and a halt in length on the left shoulder in front of the clavicle, not woundin any blood-vessel; third a cut on the right shoulder three-quarters of an ine long, clear cut, but not sever- ing large vessel; the fourth cut, the one that did the work, was situated about aninch from the median line of the sternum, enetrating the pericardium and opening the left pleural cavity. The conclusion of the post- mortem is that the woman came to her death from a hemorrhage, caused by a penetrating wound of the right ventricle. CITY PERSONALS.

Changes to Be Made in the Line of the Parade—A Committee Will Examine the Proposed Route This*Afternoon—Pros- pects of Tuttleism During the Encamp- ment—Headquarters of the State Depart- ments—Women’s Relief Corps Head- quarters—Kentucky’s Representatives in the City—Grand Army Gossip. There is a little flurry just now disturbing the usual serenity of the G. A. R. Finance Committee. It has leaked out and the result of the affair is awaited with interest. The ripple is in the railroad end ot the committee. When subscription were called for nearly all the roads in St. Louis business subscribed to the enter- tainmentfund. Five of them gave subscrip- tions of 51. 000 each. They were the Chicago & Alton, Frisco, Missouri Pacific, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. The Vandalia gave $750, the Wabash Western $750, the 0. & M. $500, andsoondown. Thetrouble arose over the Missouri Pacific subscription. The road hav- ing an enormous system reaching into the West and Southwest and tapping the four other roads without halt of its advantages give the same amount. The ’Frisco only runs to the south where G. A. R. business cannot help but be small and the Atchison does not run into St. Louis at all and the C., B. & C. has only a running arrangement with the Wabash. The Chicago & Alton’s subscription was given among the first, and when the Missouri Pacific came in with only the same amount, Mr. Fred A. Wann of the C. & A., who is also a member of the committee, kicked ae vigorously, and there is said to have een an interesting conversation between Mr. Wann and General Manager Clark of the Missouri Pacific. Mr. Wann told Mr. Clark thatas a representative of the citizens of St. Louis, who turned over 45 per cent of their business to the Missouri Pacific, he was not in favor of accept- ing such a paltry sum as $1,000 from the Missouri Pacific system. He said that the C. & A., was called a Chicago road by the St. Louis papers, that he did not admit the fact, because the road did as much for St. Louis as any other city and always subscribed as much if not more for public objects than the Missouri Pacific, and with not nearly equal advantages for G. A. R. busi- ness the road gave as much this time. Other roads did the same and he didn’t think it was right. As a member of the committee, he asked for $8,000 from the road, and would not take less than $2,500. Mr. Wann then said that the O. & A. check for $1,000 was drawn and ready for payment, but he would not pay it unless the Missouri Pacific doubled the amount, and if the committee would return the Missouri Pacific check for 51, 000 his road would make good the amount. The Missouri Pacific has not yet doubled the amount of its — and Mr. Wann still holds his check. Chalrman Sampson said to-day that he did not know anything about any trouble over the railroad subscriptions and that he had only heard of some remarks of the kind mentioned attributed to Mr. Wann. He said that while some corporations and individuals did not subscribe as much as they should they had the right to do as they pleased, and the committee had to take what was given it. Route of the Parade. The route of the Grand Army procession will be changed. At the meeting of the Gen- eral Executive Committee, Saturday evening, objections were raised to the selection of streets for the formation of the pro- cession. It had been proposed to use Wash, Carrand Biddle streets, andthe streets north of them, west of Fourth street, for the formation. The objection raised to these was that they were inhabited bya low class of people and that the vet- erans, who would be obliged to stand onthem for an houror two,would not et a very good idea of the people of St. uis. Then objections were raised to the length of the parade. It was sug- gested in this paper when the line of march was extended to Chouteau avenue, it was thought necessary by some that a piece be cut off the western end of the route. Finally a committee was appointed consisting of D. P. Grier, E. F. Weigel, D . Dyer and J. B. Gandolfo (the committee which selected the route before), Nelson Cole, J. G. Butler, and A. J. Smith. These gentlemen will go over the principal streets this afternoon and pick out a new route. It is probable that the formation will ba on Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets and the streets west of them, with the right of the different divisions resting on Lucas lace. The start will then be made rom Fifteenth street and Lucas avenue north to Washington avenue, east on Washington avenue to Fourth street, south on Fourth street to Chouteau avenue, west on Chouteau avenue to Broadway, north on Broadway to Olive street, west on Olive to Fourteenth street, north on Fourteenth to Lucas place where the parade will disband. This is not official, but it is the * which meets with general r and it will prob - ably be adopted. This will cut off Broad - way, between Olive street and Washington ave, from asight ofthe parade but it will give Olive st., a better show. The grand arch will be made to face East on Olive st., and the reviewing stand will be just East of the arch. The Wheeling Incident.

This is the rate agreed upon by the roads for side trips from St. Louis by those who wish to visit other places before returning home. The G. A. R. tickets will be limited to October 5 at the latest but an arrangement has been made by which the tickets may be deposited by any who want to take excursions and thus ex- tended to October 31. The arrangement will be advantageous and is likely to draw a «great many people to St. Louis who will take advantage of this side rate to make trips East and elsewhere. The Western, Northern and Southern roads give the same rate. The roads are preparing for an immense rush of business, all that they can handle. State Headquarters.

This afternoon they will KO out in charge of Comrade Feuerbach to see St. Louis Park, their headquarters during the Encampment. They say Kentucky will have 800 men in camp. Kentucky’s badge will be all metal. The top piece of wh metal will have the letters G. A. R. in relief. Below this will hang a miniature ear of corn in gilt metal with the word ‘‘Kentucky’’ on it in black enamel. From this will depend a little cracker in white metal with 1887 on it. Kentucky is the ‘‘corn-cracker’’ State, and the badge is meant to be typical. Besides this badge each Kentuckian will wear an ear of corn and a cracker on bis coat. Engineers’ Reunion.

By Telegraph to the PoOsT-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, August 29.—The WORLD says: „The fact disclosed by the show of heads in the Prohibitionist convention, that seven- eighths of its members were formerly Repub- licans, has not added to the peace of mind of the managers of the Republican party. They can figure too readily what seven-eighths of 50,000 are. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune savs: ‘‘Secretary Whitney’s scheme of reorganization and consolidation in the storing and purchase of supplies for the | various naval bureaus does notappear to have accomplished what was claimed for it. An apparent saving of $57,000 was shown, but a Washington dispatch, printed on another page, points out that thisis not justified by the facts. The important elementof the cost of distributing articles from the central store- houses, it seems, was leftoutof the account. The net product of this boasted reform is a vast increase of red tape, with no practical gain to offset it. THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘The advices received from a considerable variety of sources indicate that the Republicans of Indiana have strong hopes, and that those of Maryland are not without hope of carrying their respective States this fall. The Indiana Republicans go further and ex- press confidence that they can control the electoral vote next year; though this, of course, stillisavery uncertain matter. But itis worthy of remark that thesetwo States are notoriously those in which the Democratic politicians have been allowed the fullestswing in the use of the offices of the Federal civil service on the old-time spoils system. There is no justification for this liberty, and no explanation of it save that the Administra- tion has been persuaded by the political lead- ers of the two States that in this way the po- litical prospects of the Democratic party could be improved. It is clear that the 1 * effect has been produced. We should e to see the experiment tried of reversing the policy that has so signally failed of its pur- ose. We are convinced that it is not yet too ate. THE SUN.

It will be placed in the Entertain- ment Hall, where De Neuville’s „Cemetery of St. Privat’’ was shown last year. Since its arrival in this country the latter part of 1886, the picture has been on exhibition in New York and Boston, closing at the latter place only last week, when it was packed aud shipped to St. Louis. From ad- vices received by Secretary Johnston it was believed the picture and attendants would ar- riveon Saturday. The delay is as yet unex- plained. „Christ Before Pilate’’ is the last great work of the artist, and has created more sensation than all his other works, though in Paris his every picture from 1870 onward has been a sensation. This picture was completed in July, 1881, and exhibited privately in Paris, after which it was taken to Vienna. Art papers of that time fairly teem with laudatory notices of the painter and picture. Other work of great merit was dwarfed and hidden from sight by this wonderful real- istic composition. Realistic itisto a degree, and it marked an entirely new field for the artist.

Struck with the Skill of the lad the uncle insisted on taking him to Gyula to a traveling portrait painter for instruction. The boy was not enthusiastic over this change untilentering the studio of the painter, Samosy, he was inflamed witha wish to be a painter. He worked hard under Samosy’s ig ay and made such progress that while a boy he painted a icture of Hungarian life which was so hat the Austrian Art Socie bought it good round sum, thus furnishing him with the means to go to Vienna and Pesth to study. After some close application in the galleries of those cities he went to Mun- ish and Dusseldorf, very poorly furn- ished with money. This was in 1866 Then began his systematic education in art. He sent in 1870, at the age of , to Paris, his first successful picture, ‘‘The Last Moments of a Condemned Man. The scene is the cell, guards are waiting to conduct the man tothe place of execution, his wife and children are id him a last good-bye. — Woman of the People and Child. There is not a weak brush mark on the canvas, a critic has said, and really the tmpression it made was extraordinary. It was exhibited in many Ger- man cities. ‘Transport of the Vagabonds,’’ The Pawnshop,’’ ‘‘Conscripts’’ and ‘‘One Episode of the War for Liberty—1848,’’ were the pictures that followed. These were ted in Paris, to which ci he moved 1870.

The new star and the new play aroused a dig share of entbusiasm. Our Jennie!“ mixes society in a most reckless manner, throwing the daughter of a miliionaire daily into the society of a washer- women with an artist son, of a tramp, a dude and other representatives of the human race without regard to the lines usually drawn in tbe sovial world. It has its improbabilities un- doubtedly and the author shows the evidence in his work of the struggle to get the charac- | ters he wanted into the pisy and bring them together at the right time. And yet with all the tincongruliies scattered through- out the play it is constructed with skill and holds the attention while the situations are developed so as to obtain the strongest effect. The James W with his daughter, Our Jennie. He has robbed bis brother and sent him to jail, deserted his wife and son and stolen his daughter. The brother is released from prison, and seeking revenge appears on the scene as Jinks. Jennie is in love with an artist who is supposed to be the son of Mrs. Fogarty, an Irish washervoman with whom Walton's wife and son are boarding. The deserted wife is blind and therefore cannot recognize Jennie’s father as her husband, but Jinks, in his attempt to unravel the mystery, meets his brother and, threatening to expose him to his child, a fight takes place and Jinks is shot. Jennie over- hears the conversation and witnesses the fight. The dramatist then accomplishes the wonderful feat of making the villain a respect- able member of society and reconciling all parties. Our Jennie“ is pictured as a romping, saucy, unmanageable girl, with an frresistibie tendency to flirt with every you man. Asa matter of fact she is made si and rather impudent and forward in all things, but Jennie Yeamans knows how to carry 0 this kind of character to the best effect. She has none of the innocent mischievousness of Lotta, but plenty of skill in depicting the brash,somewhat wicked and suggestive young girl of the erlod. She does her to a turn, and keeps the ngoing at a lively rate.

SET- The Old-Fashioned Border Novels Go of Date—Effects of Civilization on the Un tamed Savage—Experience of a Mag Who Wanted to Get Material for an His. torical Romance—Late Intelligence Frog the Seat of the Ute Outbreak. *. The dime novel is dead. Its ideas about tun and fighting on the border are Obsolete Things must have changed since Revolver Bill, the Avenger, and Great Scott, the Terror of the Rockies, departed this life amiq a rat. tle of pops and a halo of dead Indians and scalps. lam not afar Westerner, have not been on the border, never killed or scalped ap Indian, and never was killed or scalped by an Indian. But I have heard that such things were done. I have read Fenimorg Cooper's novels and a stack of dime and my idea ofa bad Indian was that ofa tel low who was aching all the time to do up 4 white man or another Indian. I find that this is agrosserror. Either Mr. Cooper and other writers on Indian topics were stupendous liars or Indian character has been entire; changed by contact with civilization. * thought a bad Indian was biood-thirstiness personified; that an Indian war meant river, of gore and a spectacie of stréuked demons an fringed fiends shooting daylight through each other and plunging huge knives into each other’s hearts with a scalping picnic always to follow thi 1 entertainment. I regarded ay lan on the war-path as a morose, unap- proachable sort of fellow who never said any. thing but what he meant, and did most of tis talking with a knife, club or gun, and I looked upon a cowboy as very much the same kind of cuss. I feel thatIowe both of them an bumble apology and I make it right now. More inti. mate acquaintance with border life and the character of the Indian and cowboy, estab. lished through the AM ok the * and the railway, throw floods of light on the subject. i contemplated going into the historical border nove! usiness, and writing for a publishing house which is now engaged in issuing a series of books entitled, ‘‘Half an Hour with Noted Characters and Stirring Events. When 1 heard of the impen@ing Indian war in Colo. rado I regarded it as a lucky stroke of fortune and prepared to dish it up in graphic style for the readers of the series. 1 wrote the intro- duction tothe series atonce. It commenced: One of the bloodiest wars that ever stained with crimson gore the record of the border, and which added to the list of the fearless hearts which are stilled in death by the treach- erous knife or the cowardly bullet of red fiends tbe names of scores of gallant men, te. lalso engaged a special artist and had cuts made ofthe principal actors in the war with scenes of the most importance, as thought they would certainly take place. Then in order that I might have the advantage of inside information ot the affray as quickly and accurately as possible Iopened communication with an old friend who had been compelled to go West for his health and who is now a prominent citizen of Colorado, and made arrangements to have private dispatches sent from the seat of war so that my books could be printed in advance of all others. Telegrams soon began to pour in upon ms from my correspondence. give a few san- ples of them: ‘‘MEEKER, Colo.—Chief Colorow, one of the meanest Indians in America and a famous Ute chief, is believed to be on the war- ath. Sheriff Kendall went to arrest im for stealing horses and saw him disappearing around the corner with a revolver secreted under his hat. He is thoughtto have left the reservation with a number of fighting bucks, as several Indians are missing from the corner grocery. Later this report was confirmed dy Bill Smith, who saw Colorow cleaning his shot- un in dis back ard. A6 there sno game in the vicinity, Smith is positive thatthe chief means business. He says Col- ne Out orow had some painton his hands and was. fooling with his top knot in a suggestive way. When he saw Smith be grunted hoarsely, and remarking, ‘Me no like cowboy bullets; go too fast. mph!’ wentinto his wigwam.’’ *‘GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo.—Sheriff Hen- dall, witha posse of forty men, started this morning to hunt for the Utes who are said to be camped on the mountain side. There Is not a drop of whisky left in Meeker. Wii! join Kendall as soon as possible. Later reports say that Kendall has only ten men and is surrounded by Colorow, who holds ‘them, so tight that itjis believed they cannot ethome unless aid is sent at once. Tom lowhard came in last night and verifies the report that Colorow is on the warpath. He says e saw Colorow § sitting on a barbed-wire fence ing a new knife on a post. he wil old chief was laughing to i himsel and called to Tom to stop a minute, but Tom is sure he saw some heads behind the stamps in the field and lit out for home. From Colorow’'s look Tom believed he had fully 000 fighting men within call. Later reports, however, put the number at 200, and even this estimate is thought to be high, as there are hardly that many Indians in this section.’’ ‘‘GLENWOOD SPRINGs, Colo.—Jim_ Killem went to a dance last night at Toby’sranch. It lasted nearly all nightand as he was return- ing he is sure he saw at least 600 Indians in the brush. The night was pitch dark and they took after him with fiendish yelis. He ran as fast as he couid until be fell in a ditch where be was un- able to get his bearings, and so he slept there until this morning, when with the help of several friends he reached home and wentto bed. He says as far as he can make out the Indians were fully equipped with ns, rifles, cannon, tomahawks, knives, pis- ls and revolvers, and they fired at him con- tinuously until he fell in the ditch. This roves that Colorow is still hovering around eeker and that Kendall is on the wrong trail. A request has been sent to the United States War Department for troops. When they come it is believed that Colorow will retire and give upthefight. The troops, by fast marching, can reach here next year. These reports were all right and showed that Colorow meant business and that there would be fun sometime, but they did not enter sufficiently into the details of the actual fight- ing sol wired my correspondent for full ac- counts of engagements in response to which he sent me the following dispatch: ‘*MEEKER, Cole.—lam back in Meeker to take care of the women and children, as there are no meninthe place, all having gone to join Kendall. Two couriers were seen yester- day near Meeker, and reported an engagement between Kendall’s party and Colorow on the mesa overlooking the sur- rounding country. Firing was 0 in the direction which Kendall had Ke is still hemmed in by Colorow, and must have fresh supplies or he won't stay ere. Mn, Colo.—The Governor is to meet Colorow, who has expressed ad to see him. The following dispatch has been recetved from Maj.

Beginning next Thursda the afternoon Board will be resumed.——The competition of new Russian wheat is proving a serious ob- stacle in the shipment of American wheat. New Russian wheat is offered in London at from 2% to 2 shillings per quarter, while American spring wheat is 28s to 29s uarter, and winter s to 298 8d. While oor Russian wheat which sells at 25s per quarter is not equal to even spring wheat, the ity of Ghirka wheat, which sells at per quarter, is hard, and offers aj = substitute for American hard wheat. — egg he poorer qualities are so cheap that | Hartford, ze millers are ubie to buy and | ware, selbe per y clean it and then save money. some inguiry for American wheat, ; but itis very limited, and the recent clear- inge, Aae; ances have been made up largely of wheat bought from tbree weeks to two months ago. Very little more remains to de cleared, and then shipments will reflect the current demand, which varies from ten to twenty- r day in face of extremely low he absence of demand from the Continent Is due,in addition to the above causes, to the dry condition of the crop, which enables immediate milling. This also is true ot the United Kingdom.——J. A. Edwards, a rominent broker of the Chicago Board of de, was on the floor to-day. Mr. Edwards is of the opinion thatthe Chicago trade made of commissions.

Percy, a young man who works in a wagon ‘shop here, made a trip yesterday afternoon, through the Niagara rapids and whirlpool in a life-saving craft of his own invention, upon which he has been at work four months. The boat is seventeen feet long and four and a half feet wide. It has large air chambers at either end and a 800-pound weight attached to the bot- tom. The boat weighs 900 unds. Percy took his boat tothe Maid of the Mist landing, on the American shore, and went down the ath at 8:15 o’clock and changed his cloth- ng. Five minutes later he crept into the boat and swung off towards the Cana- dian shore. In a few minutes he was in the first rapids. The voyage occupied about four minutes and was a rou one. @ boat haved well, and though frequently out of sight and full of water, it quickly righted. Several times it turned around, but it never rolled over. Asit neared the whirl 1, just below the upper end of the Deveaux Oollege ground, it drifted very close to the American shore in almost still water. Percy thinking he had through the whirl- pool, opened the door bis head. It was quickly withdrawn, for he wus just entering the maelstrom, and a mo- ment afterwards the craft was out of sight. The boat passed directly across the whiripool, and as it reached the Canadian shore Percy came out and took the oars and pulled upjto the front of Colt’s elevator, reaching the bank at 8:55 o’clock. Percy was nauseated but was not injured. He was well pleased with his craft, and expects to introduce it to the life- saving service. Central Type Foundry Games.

Robert Hare Powell & Co. and Robert Hare Powell, Sons & Co. Make an Assignment— The Failure Due to Indorsement of Paper for Charles E. Pennock, the Suspended Iron-Plate Manufacturer — Liabilities $1,500,000 and Assets Over $4,000,000. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 80.—This morn- ing the announcement was made that Robert Hare Powell & Co. and Robert Hare Powell, Sons & Co., the great coal mining firms of No. 419 Walnut street, had failed, and the street was necessarily startied. The failure was admitted by Mr. John OC. Bradiey, who is the manager and a partner in both firms. He states that the failure was the result of the suspension of Charles E. Pen- nock of Coatesville, the extensive ‘ron- plate merchant whose paper bore the indorsement of both the firms, Robert Hare Powell & Co., and the junior one of Robert Hare Powell, Sons & Co. The liabilities he placed at $1,500,000, which is assumed to be the aggregate amount for which they be- came the endorsers of Pennock’s notes that were protested yesterday; while the assets, consisting oof vast tracts of valuable coal lands and appurtenances, are fixed at 4,000, 000. The Guarantee Trust Com- pany hes been made assignees, and Mr. Brad - ley was at 1 o’clock in consultation with Presli- dent Cochrane of that institution. A CIRCULAR TO CREDITORS. It was generally believed that the assets of the two firms are far above their liabilitied; and that the course adopted of assigning the estate was the wisest to meet all legitimate claims and prevent sac- rifices. The following circular has been pre- pared by Messrs. Powell & Co. and has been issued to their creditors, who are not many in number, but are generally large as to amounts: PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 18, 1887.—The inability of the firm of Charies E. Pen- nock & Co. to meet its paper ing to-day, of which we are this morning apprised, has made it necessary for us,in the interest of our creditors and our- selves, to make an assignment. We have ac- cordingly conveyed our property and claims to the Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit Com- pany of this city. The indebtedness of the two firms is estimated at $1,578,000. The assets are estimated at over $4,000,000. We do this ata time when we might at some loss or risk, continue our business, but we believe it wiser to place our affairs in such shape as to secure not only those to whom we are indebted, but also to ourselves, a valuable property. Our object is ing Our assets and liabilities in a short time. As our property is extensive, in use at many places, and sbould be appraised by disinterested experts, we can not expect to have a detailed description of it prepared at once, but the work is progressing and we will, we think, have one ready in twenty days. In the meantime, we herewith report to you the preliminary estimate made up from our books to-day. We are advised that you are by our present action more fully protected than could be in any other way, and we ask your indulgence for the time necessary for us to make the exhibit proposed and a proposal of terms of settlement. We are, respectfully yours, **ROBERT HARE POWELL & Co.“ NO STOPPAGE. In answer to inquiries by a reporter a mem- ber of the firm said: ‘*Our course in this mat- terissimply dus tothe fact that we do not propose to pay other people's paper. We have done what we are satisfied is best for our creditors, who are few, numerically, but whom we owe large amounts. Our ass-ts are much more than sufficient to meet our liabilities, as may be seen by our circular. We properties in the worid. Here are statements for the 26th, 27th and 28th of the present month from our furnaces. For the 26th the production of iron was 70 tons at $10 per ton; on the Tin, 76 tons $9.40; on the 28th 71 tons at $9.61. This is a showing that will be ap- preciated by all iron men as a remark- ably good one. The capacity of our plant is about 25,000 tons a year, the profit on which is from $% to % per ton. We have just completed a second furnace, a du- Ueate of the old one, that should have oubled our capacity. This would have one into operation on lhe Ist of Septem- ber, Perhaps it may it. At any rate we shall continue our operations, We must go on. Wecannot stop. We have on hand now orders for 85,000 tons. We mine eur own ores, make our own coke and pay nothing into the purses of otbers A number of bankers and men of extensive business connections have been in the office this morn- ing and have agreed with us that we must continue our works.’’ TRE FIRMS. The firms of Robert Hare Powell & Co, and of Robert Hare Powell's Sons 4 Co., consist of Robert Hare Powell, Devereaux Powell, Henry Baring Powell, and John C. Bradley. The first-named firm was organized in 185 by Robert Hare Powell, and was engaged in the coal business. At Mr. deatn several years ago the surviving partners organized a new firm known as Rob- ert Hare Powell Sons & Co., which operated the extensive furnaces built by Mr. Powell, The firm of Robert Hare Powell & Co. was com d of Robert Hare Poweilana John C. Bradley. brothers-in-law. The senior, Robert Hare Powell was at the nead of the semi- bituminous coal business in Pennsylvania, which he may be said to have originated since April, 1858. In 1863 was decided to work the multiptving interests under the State laws governing incorporated bodies, and the concern became the Poweil Coal and Iron Company, the senior partner of Powell's the present firm still being the active head. Having secured important anthracite interests in nuyikili County. the enlarge- ment of business coutinued unt! 1871. dur- ing which year 112,000 tons of anthracite were sold, making a tonnage of 295,683 tons for for tuat year. The Philadelppia & Read- ing Coal and Iron Company in 1872, took all the anthracite operations under their control, and the firm found it to their interest to dispose of their operations in this quarter.

J08. GIRARDI’S EXPERIMENT. The Planters’ House, After a Year Under the European Pian, Becomes American. The Planters House has been running for a yearon the European plan. Joseph Girardi, the pfoprietor, thought a hotel conducted on that plau would be appreciated by tbe West- érn traveling publicand would be more profit- able than if conducted on the American plan. As @ result, he has posted the announcement inthe office of the Planters’, that ufter Sep- tember 1 he will return tothe American plan. He gives as reason for this that it is the de- mand of his patrons. They do not like the system that requires them to pay as they go. Billa payable at the end of the month are more to Aheir liking. And transient guests “4 bavé made complaint against the system also. They like to bave the entire bill in one lamp when pre to depart. Mr. Giradi says he has made more money under the European plan than previously. His house account has been larger than any year since 1888 and the various restaurants have been quite as profitable as last year. However he has resolved to muke the change and while Undliag mach to commend in the European lan does not think the West will take ndly to it.

It seems, however, too early for such action, though the Government may be expected to follow up the vote of the House on Saturday by some such steps. Whether this will mean total suppression will depend on the North Hunt's election and Hartington’s private at- titude towards the new departure. There is just a chance of the session being prolonged to the third week in September, over the Irish votes. The Government have failed, appar- ently, to keep in town their 200 members necessary for forcing the closure. The result is that in a few days they will be in the power of the Irishmen. GLADSTONE TO VISIT IRELAED. Gladstone may possibly visit Ireland. I hear that he isinclined to accept Sexton’s invita- tion, but no final decision has been arrived at. I believe Gladstone’s calculations of the result of a general election coincide very nearly or exactly with those of the Liberal managers. The Unionists no longer pretend to believe in a victory for their cause. Privately, Ibelieve that no one is more thoroughly dis- heartened or less sanguine of the future than Hartington and his entourage. The Dominion. RAKING THE MANITOBANS.

The best prospect for a settlement lies the direction of a com promise, of = preliminary ought to be the immediate pension of operations on the Manitoban railway line.

Silas Bent arrived last night from Shelter Island, and were taken to the regi- dence of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Robert Ty- ler, on Fourth avenue. Owing to the delay in the arrival of the remains, no public an- nouncetuent ofthe time ofthe funeral could be made. There was however, a considerable attendance of relatives when the ceremonies took place at Mrs. Tyler’s resi- dence at II o’clockthis morning. The Epis- copal service was read by Rev. J. G. Min- nigérode, rector of Grace Church. The re- mains were interred in Cavehili Cemetery. The deceased was widely connected in Louis- ville and throughout Kentucky with some of the most prominent families. Col. Chas. F. Johnson and Mr. — — Bailey of this city were his brothers - in- law. The pall-bearers were Col. Chas. F. Johnson, Robt. and Henry Tilford, Col. W. W. Hite and the Messrs. Carr of St. Louis. These gentlemen are all kinsfolk of the deceased, he having requested before his death that none but relatives should be pali-bearers. The funeral was strictly private, only relatives of the family being in attend- ance. There was a profusion of floral tributes. The ceremonies both atthe house and at the grave were ofthe simplest character; no ser- mon was preached. A small cortege of car- riages followed the remains to the tomb. A number of relatives from St. Louls were present. NEW SUITS. The City Enjoined—Robbed in a Sleeping Car—Court Notes. The following suits were flied to-day in the Circuit Court: G. W.

Mr. Chandler cited authoriites to show that the = incumbent of an office had no right to review offenses alleged to have been committed by a subordinate under the administration of a predecessor, where the same have been condoned.

WASHINGTON, D. C., August 80.—The dis- patches published in the Posr- Dreraron during the past few days in regard to the national banks here escaping all local taxa- tion have created considerable interest in financial circles. Itisasource of much sur- prise that the attorney of the District of Columbia has been able to institute a suit on points which had been decided over and over again by the Supreme Court of the United States and thus muddle up the matters so that the chief subject in controversy was not then, and up to date has not been, touched on by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The question at issue is whether the shares of the national banks in the District are taxable as personal — The Supreme Court ot the United States has invuriably held in a number of decisions that such shares are tux- abie at their market value for State, — 1 school, municipal and local purposes, to be collected from the bank instead of the indi- vidual stockhoid-r. This tax cannot be ata greater rate than is assessed on other moneyed capital in the State, nor to exceed the rate of sbares of stock of State banks. and simple question has up with the taxation of capital stock of the banks invested in United States bonds, the taxation of the bonds depos- ited in the United States ‘Treasury to protect the circulation of the different bank constitutional questions as to the ot different acts of Congress lezislatine for the whole country, as distinguished from the en- actment of laws forthe District of Columbia, claims of exemption on the ground that in paying the tax to the general Government such ks were not liable to be taxed in the District, and a host of other questions although irrelevant to the case in polnt. tax levied on the shares of these national banks is for the new uses and new privileges conferred b their charters an new applieation of the bonds within the District of Columbia, and that such tax should be paid clearand tndisputable. The fiscal corpora- tions of the city of Washington have ruled the District of Columbia ever since the institution of the present form of government by con- trolling the - ppointment of the commission- ers. If a commissioner dares to show any in- dependence of action they make it so hot for him that he is soon whipped back into the traces. The commissioners who preceded the resent incumbents would have undoubtedly een reappointed ifthey had not insisted on having the taxes dus by the national banks laced in the assessment books, even though he cullection of such taxes was defeated, as heretofore explained.

New Tonk, August 29.—The Sun of this morning contains this double-leaded editorial: „Has this occurred to the political prophets who have been figuring lately with such satis- faction on nominating, in 1888, Grover Cleveland for President and David Bennet Hill for Governor of New York, Hill’s strength being relied on to counteract Cleveland’s weakness? It this programme should be adopted, Gov. Hul would be first of all and more conspicu- ously than any other candidate for Governor ever nominated, the nominee of the Adminis- tration, chosen at its dictation,. regardless of the preferences of the Democratic party of New York for other plans. In accepting uch a position his own prestige woul the overshadowed by the fact that he had been coerced or drawn into the Gubernatorial canvass through the manipulations of the Federal power. The last time a candidate for Governor of New York Was nominated by the Administration at Washington, he was defeated by a majority of nearly 200,000. The natural relation of Gov. Hill toward the Democracy to-day is that of a owerful candidate forthe Presidential nom- nation. He has twiee been Governor of New York. After his successful administrations the residency would be his legitimate am- dition. But if by the weight of the Admin- istration he is to be made to Serve as a mere pillar to restore the enfeebled strength of the Democratic party for the bene- fit of Mr. Cleveland, his present political dis- tinction will be entirely subordinated to his character as the Administration candidate. A little reflection upon this proposed combina- tion from the pointof view here indicated,may make ita little less lovelyfor the Democrats in Washington who wish to ride over the Democrats in New York.’’ Advice to Consumptives.

President Cleveland Desires an Investiga- tion of Its Finances. Fy Telegraph to the Post-DIspatcr:. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 29.—The report was current here yesterday that the President had indicated toJudge McCue his desire that the finances of the Fish Commission should be subjected to a rigorous investigation at as early a date as possible. An official, well informed as to the affairs of the commission, said to the POST-DISPATCH correspondent: The Fish Commission has been under fire for the past two years, and there has been more or less reason for the attacks made upon it. Prof. Baird wastoo deeply engrossed in the scientific investigations which he pursued with such success to devote much time to the practical business details of the Bureau. I am confident that an investigation would develop the fact that very loose methods bave prevailed with regard to the andministration of the finances of the commis- sion and the application of the several funds which make up the annual appropriation. With regard to the appointment of Judge McCue I do not see how the Senate can possi- bly contirm him. The law authorizing the ap- pointment is very explicit in deciaring that the incumbent be a scientist with approved practical and scientific knowledge of the fishes of the coast. Judge McCue may be able to distinguish between a cod and a flounder, but think that is the extent of his knowl- edge on the subject.’’ In the decline of life, infirmities beset us to which our youth and maturity were strangers, our kidneys and liver are subject to derange- ment, but nothing equais Dr. J.

The Brooklyn President Says the Percentage System Will Not Be the Only Thing Dis- cussed September 5—The Question of Jerome Park—Records Made at the Utica Meeting—Sporting News and Notes—Base Ball Gossip. There is one manager in the American Asso- ciation who is not overjoyed at the prospects of the coming meeting of the Association. That manager is President Byrne of the Brooklyn Club, and he affects ignorance of the object of the meeting. He was met thie morn- ing by a reporter for the PosT-DIsPaTcH, who asked him what he had to say about the meet- ing, and also how his vote would go on the percentage question. Mr. Byrne suid: ‘‘I do not know what the meeting has been called for, and I was not consuited about the matter at all. Probably Mr. Von der Ahe may be able to give you more light on the subject than I can. oa „Are you reported correctly as having agreed with Mr. Barnie to vote a percentage tor the champion club?’’ „No, sir, lam not. Inever spoke with Mr. Barnie on the subject and I haven't thought of the matter. Besides, if I had done 80, 1 would not say beforehand how my vote on the question would go. I think, though, that there will be a number of things brought up at this meeting which have not yet been mentioned, but what they are I don’t care to say rightnow. The percenta question will not be the only thing discussed, but of course I can’t say what action will be taken by the Association on any of the\important matters to be brought before it. Mr. Byrne seemed to be in a very uncommu- nicative mood and preoccupied with some very weighty matter. He spoke rather sar- — of the gentleman who had called the special meeting. Won Two More Games. Weidman and Caruthers were the-pitchers inthe Browns-Metropolitan game yesterday at Sportsman’s Park. The contest was not of the exciting order and the champions won easily.

Hackett represented Boston. Resolutions were passed on the death of McKinnon. The reserve rule was indorsed and unconditional releases recom- mended. Fines for drunkenness were favored. Hanlon, Ward and Irwin were appointed a committee to act on the proposed new con- tract. Leaguers in the Association. There are many old League players. in the American Association. In the Cincinnati team Carpenter, Serad, Nicol and Reilly are the only Leaguers. Fennelly played in an exhibition-game tour with the Providence team in 1883, but that does not count. Mul- lane also pitched five games for the Detroits away back in 1881 or 1882, but that can hardiy make him a League player, Next take the Browns, and O'Neill and Busbong are the only ones in the Worla-Beaters who ever wore a League uniform. Latham once played in the Philadelphias, but that was before it was a League club. The Louisville team does not ſuclude in its ranks a single player who ever belonged in the older body. The Athletics have three men who have posed before the public in League ‘‘spungles.’’ They are Mann, Stovey and Poorman. Sam Trott and Billy Purcell are the only members of the Baltimores whose contracts used to be forwarded to Young for approval. Brooklyn, however, has quite a number of the League fraternity. Bill Phillips, George Smith, McClellan, Pinckney and Harkins were ali once members of League teams. The Metropolitans come pretty near being a team made up of League players. Beginning with their batteries, we have Lynch, Weidman and Holbert. Besides these there are Ger- hardt, Hankinson, Radford, Roseman, Jones and Nelson. Cleveland, too, has a large representation of League talentin Snyder, Reipschlager, Daly, Hotaling and Allen. Kelly and Chicago. From the Chicago Journal. ‘*I will bet even money that Mike Kelly is back in the Chicago team next year,’’ said a base ball crank in Billy Monroe’s the other day. ‘‘That trade between Spalding and Soden was a fake. Spalding never intended to sell Kelly to the Boston Club outright, but merely consented to loan Mike to Soden for the purpose of boosting the Boston Club, and for the good of base bail, you know. But I saw Soden’s check for the amount, protested a bystander. „What of that? The check was a blind. — 2 advertising dodge. No doubt about that. The writer repeated the conversation to President Spalding aya ae you like to see Mike back here?’ he asked. es, and I think Iam but one of ten -thou- sand who would.’’ „Woll, to be frank, I had never thought of suchathing. The sale between the clubs was bona fide, and Kelly’s release was sold out- right by me to Soden. Nothing has been aaid by Kelly or the club, so far as know, about 4 his release. There is but little doubt that the great M. J. would like above all eise to return to the Chicago Club. His berth with Boston has by no means been a bed of roses, and the jeal- ousies which Kell’s connection with the team has aroused have not tended to make his posi- tion any too agreeable. His return to the ranks of the White Stockings would doubtless Ney please alarge number of the Chicago lub’s patrons. Clips and Chips.

And so Manager Schmelz waited a month before pre- senting the contracts tothe men, did he, — so as to comply with the Association constitu- tion? Now iP faanager Schmelz had presented contracts to Beatin and Kinslow a few days after the players had signed with Detroit, would the immaculate Association constitu- tion have been violated?

The Cincinnatis are certainly in fine shape to make the race for second place, and should the club fail to attain the coveted position hope may be forever banished of the present team capturing the Association pennant in seasons to come, says the Oommercial. The club is batting strong, its pitchers are in the best of shape, and reliable John Corkill will rejoin the team in a day or two. Encouraged by their recent victories, and incited to greater efforts by the inducements held out to them by the club’s management, there is no reasonable excuse why their efforts should not be crowned with success. The base ball public fully expect and are firm in the belief that the Reds will close second only tothe champion Browns, and should they fall in this the ch in and disappointment will be se- vere. Granting that the local club does finish second in therace,it will give the national game a great boom in the Queen City next season, and no expense or pains will be spared to bring the pennant to Cincinnati in 1888. Long and Short Hits. Nat Hudson Is still in Ontoage and will .ré- main there until President Von der Ahe de- sires his services. He will probably join the champions East. Bob Caruthers and Silver King will alternate in the pitching for the champions during the coming Eastern trip. They are both pitching in fine form and will, no doubt, more than hold their own. The Brooklyns make their last appearance in St. Louis this season on Wednesday next. It will be the last game played in St. Louis till September 17, when the champions return and play Cleveland. President Von der Ahe will go East with but nine men. When King pitches, Caruthers will play rightand vice versa. Dave Foutz and Doc Bushong are both slowly recovering the use of their injured fingers, and may be in shape to play when the champions return on September 17. A word forthe champions’ veteran: Billy Gleason is playing more steadily, effectively and brilliantly than he has played during his seven years’ association with the champions. He is either first or second in fielding among the shortstops inthe Association this season, being considerably ahead of White of Louis- ville and even with Smith of Brooklyn. He is not only fielding in fine form, but is batting and running bases in better results than be- fore. His work this season is certainly very creditable and deserves special mention.

The latest edition of the Spirit says: Jerome Park is about to change hands. For several years past the air has been full of rumors which have been flying about regarding the probable future of the historic racing ground at Fordham. We have heard all kinds of re- ports, one that it would be taken for a public park, another that it would be cut up and 0 celled off as 2 property, and the istest that it would be taken by the city as a reser- voir. No race-course felt the operation of the betting laws like Jerome Park. The law was enforced there when it was winked at everywhere else. As to the building lots story itisall bosh. No doubt, had there been no Ives bill, the owners of the property would have been compelled to make some use but the meas A can pay better as a —— course than anything else, and a race-course it is to remain for many years. However since the American Jockey Club omitted to an nounce the Withers and elmont, Ladies’ Stakes etc. , for 1889, people have taken it to mean that the club thought Jerome Park would ere that be used as a reservoir and be compelled to seek other quarters. The real reason as we understand it, is that the Jockey Club bolds the lease subject to fifteen months’ no- tice to surrender it. This notice has been served, and the present management will re tireabout September, 1885, which will bring the autumn meeting of 1888 (in October) under the new management. The new management is, We suppose, comprised in Mr. Jerome’s party, and they will inaugurate a new de art- ure in racing at Jerome Park, which wi in- clude additional railway facilities from the West Side. The track is the most handy to New York Olty and the drive via Central will always retain the patronage of the wealthy citizens of the metropolis. The Bard’s Condition.
