Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. LONDON, October 6.—The Government is placed in very queer straits by the Coroner in the Mitchellstown inquiry issuing summons to Brownrigg to produce his special instruc- tions from Dublin Castle as to the movement of the police. These instructions, apparently, superceded Gladstone’s order, in 1880, that the constabulary were to request permission of the chairman to give them accommodation onthe platform, The Irish party now have the Government in a fix. Either they must desert their officer and allow him to be com- mitted for contempt of court, or they must confess themselves before the world re- sponsible for the Mitchellstown murders. MADAGASCAR TROUBLES. The revival ot the Madagascar difficulty cor- responds with the general expectation here. When Gen. Willoughby, the English Com- mander of the Queen’s forces, left here, he prophesied an early rupture, which would arise when France tried to put an extreme in- terpretation on the protectoral. France is very weak diplomatically, and has been fur- ther weakened by Italy’s adhesion to the Ger- man alliance and Engiand’s sympathy with it. The ch: nces are, therefore, that Madagascar will win. THE NEW ALLIANCE. Now that Crispi has made a positive declara- tion that Italy has gained the Austro-German alliance as proof of her interest in the main- tenance of peace agd palance of power, the presstiTton caneuel to takewgsimuilar step, to which I referred yesterday, grows stronger. Practically, the new alliance will have for its principal object the maintenance of peace next year. It is really an anti-war-in-the-spring combination. THE ENGLISH HOME-RULERS. Members of the English Home-Rule Union who have been traveling in Ireland have come back with enthusiastic reports of their recep- tion. They are delighted with the people, their simplicity, friendliness and passive dis- position. There is now a regular system of communication on Irish affairs between the English and Irish politicians. THE CHURCH CONGRESS. The address by Champion, the Socialist, at the Church Congress was very well received by the majority of the clergy present. They hooted down his allusion to the Queen and more than one of them went almost the whole length with him, There wasa slight but per- ceptible infusion of Socialism in pearly all the speeches which followed. =—___— SENSATIONAL SCENES. —-- — —_——- The Trial of Lord Mayor Sullivan and Edi- tor O’Brien. DUBLIN, October 6.—The trial of Lord Mayor Sullivan and Mr. O’ Brien for publishing in the papers respectively controlled by them re- ports of meetings of suppressed branches of the National League, wiil open at the Mansion House Court this afternoon. Atthis hour, 1:30 p. m., great crowds of people line the route which will be taken by the Lord Mayor and Mr. O’Brien and thecorporation of the city, which will attend them in state during the trial. OVATION TO THE PRISONERS. 2:30 p. m.—The Lord Mayor was driven to the courtina carriage, which was followed by Messrs. John Dillon, M. P., ex-Lord- Mayor E. Dwyer Gray and Charles Dawson, ex-Sheriff Peter McDonald and others. The city mar- shal, wearing acocked hat and sword, led the civic dignitaries, who were all arrayed in the fullrobes of their offices. Mr. O’Brien joined the procession soon after it started and proceeded to the court. The streets through which the procession passed to the court were thronged and the Lord Mayor and Mr. O'Brien were the recipients of a great ovation along the entire route. Policemen wandered singly through the crowd. A cordon of.police surrounded the Mansion House and prevented the crowd from approaching the court-room. There were fifty municipal officers present in the court. After the case had been called by the magistrate, A WARM DISPUTE OCCURRED between the police attendants in the court and Mr. Sexton, Member of Parliament and High Sheriff of Dublin, arising from the desire of the latter to place the city sword and mace before the Magistrate. The police attempted to prevent the placing of the city emblems on the table, whereupon Mr. Sexton and other municipal officers seized the sword and at- tempted to place it there by force. The police and municipal officers struggied for the pos- session of the sword, while the spectators in the gallery cheered Mr. Sexton and exhorted him:o ‘‘bold on.’’ After afew minutes both sides desisted, and after a parley a compro- mise was effected and the sword was placed on the Magistrate's bench. -_— THE OTHER SIDE. An Interesting Statement by a Personal Friend of Mrs. Hughes-Haliett. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LonpoN, October 6.—The following state- ment was.made to the Post-Dispatca cor- respondent yesterday afternoon by an Amer!i- can who was a warm personal friend of Mra. Hughes- Hallett in the days when, as Miss Emily | Schomberg, she was the belle of Philadelphia. It may be acceptedas by authority, and con- | of the late M. sidering its source and the extraordinary nature of the excuse made for Col, Hughes- Hallett, it is certainly one of the most peculiar phases of this wholly unparalleled case. It is as follows: ' **The reports which have appeared in many of the papers to the effect that Mrs. Hughes- Hallett has left her husband and is traveling on the continent preparatory to returning to America and securing a divorcee, are totally without foundation. On the con- trary, Mrs. Hallett is residing with her husband at his residence in Cromwell road, and is standing staunchly by him, endeavor- ing to help him live down the scandal which, by weaknessin an unfortunate moment, her husband has brought upon himself. Those who are fully acquainted with the unfortunate circumstances of the case can only applaud Mrs. Haliett’s conduct, though perhaps to those less instructed in all the horrible details of this most unsavory scandal she may seem wanting in that proper spirit and feeling of self-respect, which is so characteristic of American women. Some two years ago Miss Selwyn appealed to Col. Hallett to save her from the extortionate treatment of her own flesh and blood. It is unnecessary to state the circumstances of this money transaction. But as soon asit cameto her ears, Mrs Hallett, out of kindness of heart, offered the young lady A TEMPORARY HOME. ‘*‘No sooner was she installed there thanin the most brazen-faced manner possible she com- menced to undermine Mrs. Hallett’s influence with her husband, and in a manner which be- came the tulk of allthe visitors at the house, she absolutely threw herself inCol. Hallett’s way. Her behavior became so outrageous that Col. Hughes-Hallett himself was com- pelied to ask her toreside elsewhere. When Col. Hallett went to visit friends in the coun- try, by avariety of ways Miss Selwyn suc- ceeded in getting invited to the same houses atthe same time. The statement that they met atthe house of Mr. Henry Smith by ap- pointment is faise. The Colonel was stopping there and Miss Selwyn secured an invitation, on the plea that she wished to obtain advice from him regarding the management of her fortune. The various statements asserting that Capt. Selwyn or Mrs. Hallett or Mr. Henry Smith first made known the scandal are one and all faise. It was made public by Miss Selwyn herself, who desired to compel the Colonel to marry her. I will not attempt to explain this young lady’sconduct. Only those who have for the past two years observed the course of her selfish and unscrupulous pas- sion for Col. Hughes-Hallett can understand it. And this view of the affairI make public, not to obtain any pardon oreven pity forthe Colonel’s conduct, or to make more heavy the burden of odium which the young lady al- ready bears, but in the cause of truth and jus- tice and to explain Mrs. Hallett’s position to her countrymen and women, whose sympathy she would have.’’ - — —— BRIDGING THE CHANNEL. A Brilliant Marriage—Sardou’s ‘‘La Tosca’’ —Mlie. Aimee—Paris Gossip. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. PARIS, October 6.—A plan has been submit- ted by Admiral Cloue to the Minister of Pub- lic Works, for the construction of a bridge across the English Channel at Calais. The bridge is to be similar to the 2} Niagara suspen- sion bridge and made ofiron. There will be passenger ways and a place for railroad trains. The structure, if built, will extend from the Dover Heights to the hills at the back of Calais, enabling ships and steamers to pass underneath without difficulty. A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE. The marriage of Mile. de Rothschild,daugh- ter of Baron Gustave de Rothschild. with M. Albert Sasson willbe celebrated on the 19th instant. SARDOU’S ‘‘LA TOSCA.’’ Victorien Sarcou demands 150,000 frances for the rights inthe United States and England of ‘*La Tosca,’’ his new play. He has refused Maurice Gran’s offer of 80,000 frances, but is willing to accept 10 percent onthe gross re ceipts. Mme. Bernhardt intendsto star with it next year in America. DOM PEDRO. Dom Pedro, Emperor of Brazil, is expected back in a few days, when he ewill occupy his gorgeous suite of rooms at the Grand Hotel. Iie has accepted an invitation from the son Krupp, and willremain several days at Essen inspecting the great gun-works there. THE OPERA COMIQUE AFFAIR, The Opera Comique affair is engrossing puhlic attention. Manager Carvalho had an- nounced that he would call his company to- gether on Saturday for a rehearsal at the Theater Des Nations, but the public prose- cutor has now arraigned him for manslaughter and criminal neglect in the matter of the late fire. M. Carvalho yesterday resigned the management of the Opera Comique Company, and the chorus singers have been besieging Minister of Fine Arts Spuller for their salaries, as they claim they have always been paid out of the state subyention. They assert that they have been at M. Carvalho’s disposal throughout the month of September awaiting his orders. The Minister has, however, an- nounced that he has been unableto make M. Carvalho pay them. MLLE. AIMEE. The death of Mile. Aimee, the opera bouffe actress, was sudden and unexpected. She was buried Tuesday from the little parish church of Notre Dame at Auteuil. A num- ber of actors and actresses attended the funeral. Among the Americans ‘present I noticed Mr. J. M. Coppleston and Mr. and Mrs. Grau. Sarah Bernhardt and Judic sent wreaths. The service was very simple. Aimee had quite a fortune, and she has left the greater part of it to the Orphelinate des Arts. Her death was due to a surgical opera- tion to which she had to submit some days ago. ——$—$——— SIGNS OF THE TIMES, An English Paper's Criticism of the House of Lords, Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, October 6.—Those who read the signs of the times aright view the editorial which appeared in yesterday's Telegraph as | promising to curtail by a decade the short years of political life still remaining to the House of Lords. Alluding to the fact that, though recently warned off Newmarket Heath for disgraceful conduct, the Marquis of Alles- bury still remains an hereditary legislator, and that there is also one peer who cannot return to England from fear of a criminal prosecution. The article states that there are many members of the House of, Lords who would not be admitted inte any- thing like decent society, and that with the exception of the banMPuptcy bill of 1881, , nothing has ever been done to purge the as- | sembly of individuals utterly unfit by charac- ter, conduct or capacity for taking part in the nation’s legislative work. Referring to the well-known fact that there are many in addi- tion to the black sheep who are e‘ther hope- leasly eccentric or congenitally stupid, the Telegraph demands some plan by which these men whom betting men, jockeys and touts regard as too tainted for their not particularly immaculate society, should be divested of their legislative functions. The article enu- merates 113 outof a total of 550 who appear worthy of their Senatorial dignity, but whose great learning, ability, and probity of purpose, in the opinion of the Telegraph, does not alter the fact that, as a national sen- ate, the House of Lords leaves much to be wished for. In conclusion, it suggests that the 400 English peers elect from theirown body a chosen minority to represent them at West- minster, with the hope that this plan would purge the House of all who from great age, bad work or incapacity are unsuited for legislative character and tous give it a moral weight and political strength which at present it does not possess. Far from preventing pre- cipitate legisiation, it is, by its inane resistance to modest reforms, responsible, according to the Telegraph, for what the latter terms the Irish sedition and the treason of to-day. Italy. PAPAL JUBILEE GIFTS. ; ROME, October 6.—Klopp, the German histo- rian, presents the Pope with the complete correspondence between Leopold I. and Father Marco Daviano, the Pope’s legate during the Turkish incursion of 1868. To each of the sovereigns whu sent jubilee gifts the Pope will presenta specially painted minia- ture portrait of himself. The Pope is especi- ally pleased with Queen Victoria’s gift and his acknowledgment will be exceptionally cor- dial. Morocce. SPAIN’S ATTITUDE. Lonpon, October 6.—The Standard corre- spondent at Madrid, in an interview with Senor Moret, the Spanish Foreign Minister, was assured that Spain hada desire to main- tain the status quo in Morocco, subject to non- interference by any other Power. Senor Moret officially confirmed the reports of the critical condition of the Sultan, whose death is hourly expected. Mexico, THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AMENDMENT. CITY OF MEXICO, VIA GALVESTON, October 6. —Congress has before it and will passto final enactinent a resolution approving a constitu- tional amendment permitting the re-election of the President of the Republicfor a second term, two-thirds of the States having ratified the amendments and thus giving it the force of law.

Held to Answer a Charge of Making Frauds- lent Registrations at the Congressional Election Last November—How He Fig- ured. in the Investigation of the Shady Transactions at the Hotel Brown—A Gilt-Edge Bond Required. Somewhat of a sensation was caused at the Custom-bouse this afternoon by the arrest of one more of the parties indicted for election frauds last fail. Deputy-Marshai Huss- man brought in from 1109 Washington avenue Robert E. Lee, former clerk of the Hotel Brown, who was indicted-last April for violation of section 5512 Federal Statutes, the indictment of the Grand-jury charging him with registering false names on the books. The district registration office, it will be re- membered, was located at the Hotel Brown, and Lee was the day clerk of the establish- ment. The names registered to which the in- dictment refers included one name from 6 disreputable resort on North Eleventh street, no such person being in existence. Lee has been absent from the city during the greater portion of the summer. He is now in the employment of the Missouri Pacific Rall- way Company. Deputy Marshals have been onthe look-out for him for several months and he was heard of at Kansas City and Omaha. To United States District-Attorney Bashaw and Assistant-Attorney Knapp he expressed the greatestastonishment at his arrest, and declared positively that he knew nothing whatever of the matter, and had taken no hand in the registration business. The District- Attorney stated that a good bond in the sum of $1,000 would be accepted for his appearance at the next term of court, and to suit the young man’s convenience United States Commissioner Crawford and Assistant- Attorney Kuna kindly consented to waitin the Federal offices until he could produce his bondsmen. THE TENTH WARD FRAUDS. The claims that he was ignorant of the charges against himare not considered by the Deputy United States Marshals who have spent considerable — looking for him. In the early part of the a tions into the frauds perpetrated the November election, Lee was badiy wanted. On election day the first arrests made inthe Tenth Ward, where extensive preparations were made for carrying the day, was Prendergast, alias John Mitghell, and a man who wanted to vote under the name of W m.Chri2tian. Both men claimed they boarded at the Hotel Brown, now the Merchant's Hotel, southwest corner of Twelfth and Olive stretts. Supervisor Smith, who boarded at the Hotel Rozier, and who had just listed the boarders at the Hote Brown, located on the same block, challenged the votes and ordered the arrest of the two men. Several statesmen came to their assistance and accompanied the prisoners to the United States istrict Attorney’s office. the way to the third floor of the Government buildink Ohristian escaped That afternoon the cash- the Hotel Brown were pr the men were not on examining them picion that the b answer the requirements of the case came over to District-Attorney Bliss, who ordered the books to be impounded for ~~ Grand- for7._ UE bape happened that there was Lee in the ward, and a third, Inent in ae nee living in the Sixth’ from which circumstances CONSIDERABLE CONFUSION AROSE. The Grand-jury wanted Lee to explain the en- tries in the books and to explain how the names of transient guests at the hotel hap- pened to appear on the Recorder’s books as registered voters. He could not be found, however, and the Grand-jury took a recess, hoping to be able to find the missing man by the time for reassembling in January. The marshals failed to locate him, but before the jury adjourned an indictment was re- turned against uim. With this more urgent communication, the marshals made several trips to places he was accustomed to fre- quent, but never succeeded in meeting him until to- day, when he was taken into cus- dy as stated. Several of the cases of election aud now pending in the United States Dis- trict Court grew out of occurrences at the Hotel Brown, where Deputy Re- corder Egan established a registering office prior to the election. This is the precinctin which only about 150 voters were found, although the registrations amounted to nearly 500. Egan's defense was partly that his books had been tampered with while his office was located at the Hotel Brown. He was «iven a table in the drawer of which he stored his books on leaving for the night. It was while out of his posgession that some of the registrations from vacant lots were made by persons unknown t » him. These statements directed suspicion to all parties baving access to the books. It was to explain his innocence and to tell what per- sons were seen about the books dur- ing his clerkship that the Grand- jury first wished to interview the prisoner who will now be obliged to explain the charges against his own innocence to the Court. He will be released on bond until bis ard, + case is set for hearing, when he will be tried on a charge of making false registrations. GOULD GETS IT. Sale of the B. & O. Telegraph to the West ern Union. New York«K, October 6.—It is announced thas the sale of the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph to the Western Union Company has been com- pleted. The contract was signed this morn- ing.

Express-Messenger Keyo, Who Led Miss Anderson Astray, Attempts to Bluff Her Mother, Who Followed the Coupie From Kentucky—A Mention of the Peniten- tiary Causes Him to Weaken—Marriage License Secured From Recorder Hobbs, ) After a Lecture by the Recorder—A 16- ‘Year-Old Beauty’s Terrible Plight—The Marriage Ceremony to Be Performed This Eveniag—A Story Full of Sadness. A couple of arrests were made by the police last night in an elopement case that is pecu- Marly sad. Several years ago there lived in Bt. Louis a young physician named Dr. Ander- gon. He removed to Cokembus, Ky., with his wife, andsome sixteen years ago a daughter was born to them. She was a bright, comely little one, and asthe parents never had an other child, she was petted and humored in every way. Timerolied on, the father died. In his lifetime he had not accumu- lated much of this world’s goods, and his young widow was left with their little dar- ling toraise. Her husband dead, the poor woman had nothing further to live for but this ehild. Her whole heart and soul were wrapt upinher. It wasa hard struggle to support herself and the girl, but the good woman was equaltoit. She knew alittle about sewing, and turned her attentions to dressmaking. Her neighbors inthe town in which she lived sympathized with her tn her misfortune, and did all in their power to help her along. She might not have been as expert in the use of the needle at first as others, but she needed the work and it was a charity to give it to her. Her industry gained the admiration of everybody, and she certainly deserved all the little favors she received at the hands of her townspeople. Day and night her busy needle was kept go- ing. Those weary fingers which plied it often knew no rest until farinto the morning. But in all her struegies there was one thing which buoyed her up, and when her fingers tired or her eyes grew weary, she had only to think of itand she again went at her work with re- newed vigor. Thisobject was her child. As time fiftted by the little girl grew more and more into her mother’s affections, and the poor woman could think of nothing else. Each succeeding») day saw the child brignter and more beautiful. As she began budding into womanhood her sweet face was not only noticed by the fond motier, but the townspeople all remarked what a handsome young lady the girl was growing to be. Jessie wasthenamethat had been given her. Of course the boys of the town were rot siow to appreciate her beauty, and when 12 or 13 years of-ave she had plenty of childish suitors among them. The poor widow had conceived a great future for herchild, and bent all her @nergies to earning enough money to seep Jessie nicely dressed, and to educate her and give her accomplishments that would fit her for a highersphere than their limited means would naturally give them. Enough to eat and a few calico dresses was all the poor woman wanted tor heiself, but nothing was too good for Jessie. The girl was sent to the best schoo! in the town, and no girl inthe lace was more tastefully dressed. To make er the better fitted for the station In life the fond mother had expected she would be called upon to fill, MUSIC AND OTHER ACCOMPLISHMENTS were added to the girl’s education. Tobe sure, all these luxuries forthe daughter were @ severe tax on the mother, but bv working day and night and denying herself all but the scantiest necessaries of life, she managed to accomplish ber purpose, But as the girl approached womanhood she began to exhibit traits that worried her moth- er. The poor widowsaw when too late that she had allowed her feelings to carry ber too far. In the tender solicitude for the happi- ness of her child, she ba petted and humored ber too much. The rod bad been spared and the child spoiled, Atthe age of l4 years Jes- sie was no longer the sweet, amiable child her mother bad always thoughtahe would re main. For some time the giri had been show- ing the results of over-indulgence, but the widow was slow to notice it, and thought these displays of temper shown bythe child were only thin clouds, which would soon pass away and leave the sky bright and clear. But instead of passing away the clouds only thickened and darkened. When Jessie was 15 ears of age she disputed her mother’s authority, and it was not long pefore she held at least partial swayas ruler of the little household. In vain did her mother endeavor to depose her and bring the girl back under her controlasof yore. It was too late, however. Jessie had been given her way too long andi was’ now determined to be her own mistress. The poor widow’s idol was shat- tered. And then It was that the girl began to choose her own company. Among others she had formed the acquaintance of a young man pamed CHARLES KEYO. He was a messenger for the Pacific Express Company on the lron Mountain road and vis- ited Columbus on his trips, though his home was in St. Louis. Mrs. Anderson did not fancy Keyo and suspected that his inten- tions toward her daughter were not good. She tried to dissuade Jessie from going with him atall, but it wasallt. noavail. The et would go with him, and so informed her other. heyo was ordered to keep away from the house, andthen the elopement was planned. Jessie was now 16 years of ave, quite young to be sure, but she was worldly and confident. Last Monday morning she left home, supposedly to go to her music teacher's, ‘but she did not return. The mother instantiy suspected that she had met Keyo and gone to St. Louis with him This suspicion Was strengthened when she was told that he had been seen helping Jessie into his express car. Tuesday the poor woman took @ train and came directly to this city. She learned where the tnessenger's other resided, and to her reluted her story. eyo’s mother informed ber that the girl was not at ber house and that she had heard noth- ing of the matter. Keyo had not been home the night his car got in, claiming he had to watch it all nixht, and be had only been home on Tuesday inorning long enough to chanye his clothes. His mother stated that if he had run off.with the girl, he would have to marry a and she told Mrs. Anderson to force him to 0 80. Then it wasthat Mrs. Anderson applied to the police to help her find her daughter. As Keyo bad gone out again on another run and would not be back until Wednesday (last) night, she was told to oall on Chief Huebier again. She did so shortly before 5 o’ clock last evening and Detective Hobbs was detailed to arrest the messenger. Keyo was followed from the depot, when he arrived, to the Pa eific Express office, and when ha made his re- _ Was arrested. At first he denied all nowledge of the giri, but afterward weak. ened and admitted he had brought her here and that she was atthe residence of a friend of his, Joseph White, at No. 828 Bremen ave- nue, White is a fellow messenger. It was after Y o'clock when Keyo was arrested and it was near midnight when Hobbs reached White's residence. A ring at the bell brought the messenger bimself to the door, and be ada- Miitted thatthe girl was in the house. She Was toid that an officer wanted to see ber and said calmiy thatehe would dress herself and sechim.

She admitted that she toved Keyo, in fact, avowed it freely, and was only She supposed she would have to go back with mer mother, but she would run away again with the man she loved and go further next time than she did this. “Her mother had not treated her properly, and was particularly meun to Kevo, and this was why she lett home. Monday she gotin hiscarand after riding up part of the way in it, got into a coach and came up the restof the way. While here she bad seen the Veiled Prophet parade, the illuminations, the Fair and Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland. The illuminations and Veiled Prophets were ‘‘immense,’’ but she did not think Mrs. Cleveland pretty—her mouth was too large. Jessie also remarked that she hoped her mother would let her remain all week and see the Fair out. Itwas2 a. m. when Mrs. Anderson was brought from No. 1833 Pine street, where she was stopping with friends, to the Four Courts to see heyo and ber daughter. When urrest- ec he had expressed his willingness to marry the girl. He was brought into the Captain’s office anc when the griet-stricken mother asked him, ‘*Chariey, why did you treat Jessie so?’’ he replied that he was partly to biame inthe matter, as he was willingto admit. She said she wanted him tomarry her and he replied that he intended doing so. ‘‘Will you dosointhe morning?’’ he was asked. ‘*‘No; Iwantto ‘name the date mvyselfand make all necessary preparation. But I will marry her. I wantAd fake out myrun in the morning, and if youlet me do so I'll marry Jessie,”’ ‘*You will have to marry her in the morn- ing,’’ firmly said the mother. ‘*Then, I’llnot marry her, and yoncan do your worst, ’*? he said, turning on his heel, and he was tuken buck to his ceil. THE MATTER SETTLED. The mother then left without seeing her daughter, determining to come back to- day to do. s80. This morning the girl and Keyo had ae talk, in which he agreed to marry her immediately. It wus 9:30 o’clock when Mrs. Anderson called at Chief Huebler’s office. She was accompa- nied by alady and gentleman friend. When she came to the city her first intention was to send her daughter to the House of the Good Shepherd, and to prosecute Keyo for seduction. Her plan was aitered, however, when she found that her child would ina few months become a mother, and she determined to insist upon their marriage. The girl had been turned over to Mrs. Harris, the police matron, and she brought her into the Chief’s office to meet her mother. It was a cold, yet touching meeting. Jessie Anderson is a wirl old beyond her years, yet childishly foolish. She is pret- ty, decidedly so; but as cold and hardened as marble. And yet to look at ~»ber no One would ¢6ver see anything but innocent childishness in her face. She has a round, full face, large, soft black eyes, a pretty. mouth filled with two rows of pearly, regular teeth and a fair, delicate complexion and dark hair. This morning she was prettily | dressed in a suit of an olive hue,in neat bat and dark shoulder-cape. As she entere Anhe room she gazed at her mother withopt the slightest display of emotion. When her mother Lurst into tears and asked her why she had‘acted as she did, she replied coldly that she had done so because she had not been ‘‘treated right at home.’’ Her home was not a happy one. ‘*You know, Jessie,’’ said her mother, be- tween her tears, ‘‘that our home-was always happy until Keyo came there.’’f ‘Lbe girl made noreply but looked defiant. She said Keyo was not to Dilume in the affair, and that she loved him and would £0 with him. ‘*‘I’ll send you to the House of Good Shep- herd and him to the penitentiary,’’ said the mother Then fora moment, but for a°moment only, the girl gave way to tears. They were not tears of sorrow, however, but tears of feur. Ina moment she was calm again and said defiantly: ‘*You can’t send himtothe Penitentiary, and it you do, I'll follow him, for I love him.’ KEYO Was THEN BROUGHT IN. Heis 28 years of age, about 5 feet 7 inches tall and of the character of atough. His face is deeply pockpitted, his eyes rather bad look- ing and of apyray co lor, and bis whole appear- ance rather repulsive. He wore a little low- crowned, round, soft felt bat of the style so popular among the hoodiums and spring-bot- ton pants. When he walks he has the ‘‘bad man’’ swagger. He immediately signified his intention of marrying the girl and taking careof her, adding rather boast- fully, ‘‘il think I can take care of her, and be- lieve she is willing to go with me.’’ When Mrs. Anderson upbraided bim for his action her daughter interposed, and said that she had gone of her own accord and was alone to blame. Aiter getting their articles from the police the whole party started for the Re- corder’s office to yet a marriage license. Before they left the building, Mrs. Ander- son fell upon ber daughter's neck and while the tears flowed copiously from her @yes, sobbed: ‘‘My darling, my only darling! oh, why, Charley, did you do thisto herr My God! how can I ever return to Columbus and face this shame and humilia- tion? How canlever go back to where your whole life was spent and where you were always respected, with this disgrace now upon ou?’ Then she calmed herself and wiped the tears from her eyes, butthe dauvhter remained as cold and unaffected as clay through the whole touching scene. GETTING THE MARRIAGE LICENSE. The mother, the runaway daughter and Keyo reached the office of the Recorder of leeds at about 10:30 o’clock this morning. The application foralicense was made out in the regular form by the clerk, Charlies R. Keyo stating that he was 28 years ‘of age, and that Jessie Anderson, whom he wisked to marry, was only 15 years old. Mrs. Alice Ander- son, Jessie’s mother, said she consented tothe marriage, and the girl’s father being dead there was no one to object. When the form was made out Kecorder Hubbs was called to administer the oath. The proceed- ings had thus far been conducted with so much solemnity that Mrs. Anderson was ready to melt in tears. Miss Jessie’s black eyes | were a little misty, and Keyo shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. But the Recorder protested against tears. ‘“‘This is the Holumbus party eae wouldn’t have come down § this morning if hadn’t expected you,’’ he said. ‘‘Now what's the use of crying?’’ he questioned Mrs. An- derson, who had brought her handkerchief out fora last dab at bereyes. ‘‘There are lots worse nen in the world than this young man. He'll make your daughter a good living and he'll treat her kindly. Did you want any more? A man who’s got the spunk torun away with a girl bas gotthe spunk to take care of her. You'll find that’strue. There’s re to peuple that run away to be imar- riec Under such pressure Mrs. Anderson could not do otherwise than take a pleasant view of the situation while Miss Jessie’s brilliant eyes showed her appreciation of ‘‘the funny man,’’ asshe called the Recorder in a whispered aside. She did not care much for another ex perience inthe holdover, but said: ‘‘If they want to send me there again for loving him, I’li go willingly enough. They said he'd go to the penitentiary if he didn’ tmarry me. Well, if he went I’d go too. Her mother smiled sadly at the earnest little girl. ,ThLe Recorder swore them to the facts contajned in the application,the girlacknowl- e_ged Mrs. Anderson as her mother, the mother cluilmmed Jessie as her child, and gave her consent to the union. Then the license was issued. As the party left the office, the Recorder caugiit Mrs. Anderson again falling into her handkerchief. ‘*Now what are you crying about?’’ he asked, but she hastily putaway the handkerchief, sum.- moneda her chveriulness and went aw ay with- out explaining the cause of her tears. The party went to the residence of Charies Devere, 1333 Pine street, where the marriage wiil occur.

This prejudice grew violent when it was alleged that the Superioress spirited girls away when she knew were to be served to bring into court. In regard to these printed allegations the Mother wrote a letter which closed with this parsgraph: ‘‘The task which the Good Shepherd proposes to it- self is sufficiently difficult and trying, and has a sufficient sphere when confined in its opera- tion to those who are willing to remain, with- out coercing any person.

THIS LETTER was copied in the St. Louis Intelligencer, which had fomented a great deal of the feeling aguinst the institution, as an actof justice, It had the effect of sottening the prejudice against the House, which was further modified by a case which was fully reported in the pa- ers of the time. A woman had abandoned her usband to live with a steaniboat Captain as his mistress. She took ro drink and the Cap- tain had her piaced in the House of the Good Shepherd. She was reformed there and de- clined to return to her former life. The Cap- tain procured the issuance of a writ of habeas corpus and the woman was taken into court. Whenasked by the Judge if she was unduly restrained of her liberty she said she was not. She was free to go or atay, and she wished to stay. Thereupon the case was dismissed. She returned | the House. Subsequently on the advice of the attorney of the order the Mother iovited all | send reporters | might see what | the papers in the city to through the House that they was really contained behind the tron bars and high walls.’ The elaborate descriptions pub.- lished completely turned the feeling against the institution to a@miration for its projectors and managers. Since that time the charity has been one of the most liberaily supported inthe city.

The banks were closed, the Merchants’ Exchange, Court-house, except the mairiage license of- fice, and the City Hall were also closed, The carriers made their usaal rounds, Fair Thurs- day is not recognized at the Federal buiid- ing as a holiday, the rules of the various departments allowing the observance of only the holidays made such by statute or Presidential proclamation.

The law on which the charge is based is as ‘*Any person who shall maintain and keep in the city of St. Louls any place or room where opium, or hasheesh, or any ex- tract of said drugs, or any compound in which sxid drugs are ingredients, is smoked by him- or who shall attend at any room or place forthe purpose of assisting or aiding any person tosmoke opium or hash- or any extract of said drugs or any com- pound in which said drugs are ingredients, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than $50 nor more than $300. Two pipes,two lamps, two small pots of Charges No. 965 drowsy drug, andthe other with pulverized op um, were then tagged and forwarded to the Police Court for evidence in the prosecu- tion of the cases. The Mongolians were soon bailed ont, as the news of the raid on Gon’s place spread rapidly through the Chinese establishments on Market and Chestnut streets and in the aliey of the block bounded by Seventh and Eighth, Market and Walnut streets. Before dusk sev- eral friends of the incarcerated Chinamen were hurrying about tu secure the release of the prisoners. When a Chinaman becomes in- volved in any trouble, an army of ‘‘cousins’’ caine to his rescue. “This degree seems to be the only relationship that exists between the hundreds of Mongolians doing businessin va- eg nd urts of the city. ay the cases were docketed in the First District Police Court, but owing to the ab- sence of Judge Cady, who Is sick and confined at his home, no court was held, though it was intended to hold a short session to dispose of some of the arrest cases. The raid on Gon Gley’s ‘‘joint’’ is the fret that has been made ina long time,as the police have been very uncertain about the authority vested in them to prosecute such cases with ut the most conclusive evidence of guilt. Abouta year ago the evil became so extensive that nearly every laundry in the city had a ‘‘joint’’ attachment, and sev- eral large establishments down-town were converted into piuces. used exclusively for ‘‘hitting the pipe.’ ese were largely patronized by women of th® town, who on their trips frequentiy brougbt men with them to the dens. Two enterprising Chinaineno furnished themselves with a supply of pipes and lamps and MADE REGULAR RounDS / among the disreputabie houses, in one or two of which the proprietresses gave a room in which the hit tne pepe were go ited nen leaving the depraved tastes. Seat of the drug rented aroom at the corner of Seventh and Washington avenue and opened a private ‘‘joint.’ An ordinance had been enscted prohibiting the sale or use of opium, and under this the police made several raids after the extent of the evil wasshown by such instances. Among the prisoners was Ah ee who was convicted before Police Jus- tice Cady and sentenced to pay a heavy fine. He retained lawyersand took an appeal to the Court of Criminal Correction on the ques- tion of the constitutionality of the ordinance. It was claimed that the State had no laws pro- hibiting the sale or use of opium, and thatin the Charter no power had been delegated to the Municipal Assembly to legislate on this subject. It was also beld at the ordinance cited above was too general in its prohibitions and amounted to an interference with personal rights 2 its provisions, Judge Noonan adopted ese views and dismissed the case. Nenwithstand. ing tue fact that they succeeded in beating the cases the defencants did not resume busi- ness so readily. This beneficial effect was possibly the result of their experiences at the hands of some of the law- yers selected to look after their interests. Only the regular customers of the joints were allowed to indulge in the ‘‘pipe’’ after the prosecutions until recently, when afew ofthe lxnundrymen became bolder and sold the drug to 7 person calling for a pipe. City-Attorney Butler was asked to-day if he intended to prosecute the cases against Gon Gley and his assistants. He said that the decision rendered by Judge Noonan was prior to his assumption of the duties of City- Attorney, and that he was not familiar with the points raised by the defense. He read the ordinance undér which the charges are made, and said that under such alaw he would un- questionately prosecute the cases in court.

CHICAGO, Ill., October 6.—Swarms of people again filled the approaches to the Palmer House this morning, eagerly watching for a glimpse of President Cleveland when he sbpould emerge foradrive to the International Mili- tary Encampment Crowds of workmen and shop-girls on the way to their daily tasks for- got, for the time being, the toil before them and pressed forward through the jam of country people and well- dressed city ° sight- seers. A_half- Gozen mounted police had no little trouble clearing a passage for the President’s car- riage, which was drawn by four spanking bays. The sky was lowering, and every one was predicting rain would fall before the President could make a start. Nota drop fell, however, and at 8:45 Mr. Cleveland, looking but little the worse for his wholesale hana- shaking of the previous day, appeared at the arched doorway. With hat doffed and many a good-natured bow to the cheering crowd, he lightly sprang into the waiting carriage, and in a trice was whirligg through the thick of the business district and out Washington boulevard to the encampment. He was accompanied by Mayor Roche, Gen. Terry and a dozen lesser dignitaries. Early as it was and threatening as was the day, the sidewalks along the entire route were\lined with people, including thousands who, withstanding strenuous all-day and eventng efforts yesterday, had failed to see the Pr¢si- dent or his wife in the general confusion pre- vailing. A LUDICROUS INCIDENT occurred at the entrance to the encampment grounds. The President’s carriage got stuck in the mud. There was not a moment's time to spare, and the prancing bays were smart! lashed with the whip. It was nip and tuc with the mud that was made thick and sticky by rain during the night. Finally the vehicie containing the Chief Magistrate of the nation ave aterrific lunge forward and was gone From the te te § cheering crowd. Arapid drive past the 2,000 or 8,000 troops drawn up in line, athundering salute from the artil- lery, and bows and smiles tothe couple of thousand spectators inthe stands completed the ceremonies atthe-encampment. Without delay the President boarded a train for the de- ot down-town, from which the start for Mil- aukee was to be made. Itlacked but five inutes of 10, the schedule time of the start for Milwaukee, wyen he arrived. Mrs. Cleve- Jand had preceded him by half an hour, slip- ing quietly into acarriage atthe hotel and ing driven tothe depot comparatively un- observed. The hundreds of spectators crowding the waiting-rooms when she ar- rived, had grown to thousands in the short in- terval before the President came. Behind the long railings on the platform, parallel’ with the Presidential train, it seemed like the quar- ter-stretch on Derby day, so closely packed and THOROUGALY EXCITED WERE THE PEOPLE. Mrs. Cleveland gazed out from the window of her car with decided interest that height- ened when the President stepped from the in- coming train on an.adjoining track and briskly walke to her side. At once a cho- rus of entreaties went up for them to come out on the platform. ‘‘We want to see Mrs. Cleveland!’’ and ‘‘Three cheers for Grover!’’ were the cries. When Mrs. Cleveland, in her green traveling dress, and the President with head uncovered, appeared at the rear door of the train, a mighty cheer rolled through the depot, Just then the train began to move, a burst of sun- ahine lit up the scene, and while the multitude yelled itself hoarse, the President and his fair young wife waved a farewell to Chicago. On Time. WAUKEGAN, Ill.,October 6.—The President’s special train is exactly on time, passing here atll1:21. The weather is clear and cool. The entire population along the route was in ee to greet the President and Mrs. Cleve- and. -— —_— AT MILWAUKEE, The Preparations for the HKeceptien of President and Mrs. Cleveland. MILWAUKEE, Wis., October 6.—Up to to-day Milwaukee had been only once honored by the presence as her guest of a President of the United States. Nine years ago President Hays ‘was accorded an enthusiastic reception, and was the lion of a day that has since been mentally recorded in the city’s annals with red letters. Gen. Grant visited ilwaukee after his term of office as President ad expired, but received as much entbusiastic attention as though he were still the Chief Magistrate of the nation. To-day \Niwakee is glowing with atriotism over its second opportunity to do honor to the chosen ruler of the eople. Smiles ure more gen- eral than frowns, and happiness has for the time usurped business cares. The day opened brightly, after a rather unpromising night, during which the muttering of thunder was frequent, accompanied by vivid flasbes of lightning, and rain pattered down at inter- vals. Colored decorations that were yesterday put in place suffered some- what from the water, but the biend- ing effect of the rain in some _ in- stances enhanced the beauty of the designs. A large con-course of people assembled at the Northwestern Depot on the lake shore long before the tine set for the arrival ofthe Presi- dential train, and between the surging of the crowd and the moveinent of the different or- ganizations into their assigned positions in the line of parade that section of the city was afforded a spectacle new in its history. GREETINGS ALONG THE WAY. Postmaster-General Vilas, whose guesta the President and Mrs. Cleveland are to be at Madison, accompaniet the party from Chicago. Mrs. Cleveland shows no trace of the fatigue caused by her social duties of yes- terday. and is as charming as on her wedding- day. She stands beside her husband, when- ever a demonstration is made, and in every feature and gesture gives evidence that she is enjoying her traveling experience. The scenes along the way from Chicago were of the usual character. At Evanston there was a brass band serenade and a triumphal arch of evergreens. At Racine flags could be geen flying over the town a mile away. At smnalier stations all the country population roundabout was in waiting, and even the plowmen in the fields had their horses be- decked with flags and ribbons. ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT. When the train finaily drew intothe depot and the Presidential car was brought of the temporary platform upon which the President was to alight, the im- mense crowd cheered repeatedly and swayed and surged about the depot platform. A _ Presidential salute was fired vy a battery on shore, and the revenue steamer Andy Jvubn- 80n opened her ports and echoed a response, Prearranged plans were quickly put in opera- tion, and the escort of the giatiawaiched visit- Ore took up its position. The order of parade Was as foliows: THE PROCESSION.

DECORATIONS. As the procession traversed the line of march there were frequent bursts of cheering, and the President bowed repeatedly and lifted his hat in response to cordial saluta- tions. Mrs. Cleveland bore herself as serenely asagueen. The buliidings on both sides of the streets traversed y the procession were tastefully decorated withthe national colors, evergreens, etc., some of the «lesigns being unique as wellastasteful. On Wisconsin street, opposite their claub-rooms, the Juneau Ciub, an organization composed of young Democrats, erected a graceful arch of ever- greens bearing the word ‘‘Welcome,’’ and pictures of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland, and along the walk in front of its quarters a large reviewing stand (from which the members of the club and their ladies greeted the President and his wife and showered flowers upon them. The Govern- minent buliding was also decoratea with the national colors and with portraits of the President and wife. At the corner of South Water and Ferry streets the parade passed under another arch bearing the motto, ‘‘Self-Government and Home Rule,’’ and at the corner of Lake and Reed streets a graceful arch bore greeting and sentiment as_ follows: **Welcome to Our President,’’ ‘‘Where Freedom Dweils There is Our Home’’ and ‘‘We Honor Him Who Honors Us.’’ THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. The following is the President's speech, In response to Mayor Waliber: ‘‘I am very giad to have an oppor- tunity, though the time allowed is very brief, to meet the people of Wisconsin’s chief city. When we left home, and in pass- ing through different States on our way, there has been presented to us a variety of physical features characteristic of their diversity in soil and conformation. But the people we have met at all points have been the same in their energy and ‘activity, in their local pride, and in that peculiar trait of American character which produces the belief, firmiy adhered to by every individual, that his par- ticular place of residence is the chosen and most-favored spot which the world contains. This condition creates an aggregate of senti- ment invincible in operation, furnish- ing the motive power which has bronght about the stupenduous growth and development of our country. But there has been another element of char- acter displayed among the people everywhere on our travels, which has been universal and not disturbed or changed by any difference in place or circumstance. No State lines have circumscribed, no local pride has diminished, and no business activity has in the least stifled the kindness and _ cordiality of the people’s welcome. There is bitterness enough inthe partisan feeling which seems inseparable from our political methods, but the good people of the United States have, I believe, decreed that there are occasions when this shall have no place. This is well manifested to-day in our hearty greeting by the people of Wisconsin, and this active stirring city. Municipal enterprise has added much to the natural beauty of your metropolis, as is attested by your pleasant streets and hand- some homes, with their surroundings, but its great increase in population, its manufactures and its trade, de- monstrate that its citizens have not been content with beauty alone. I cannot forget my interest in municipal af- fairs, arising from an active experience at one time in city government; and I find my- self very much inclined to scrutinize such statements as fall under my eye demovn- strating their financial condition. With all its extensive public improvements, unless I am much at fault, the city of Milwaukee has less of public debt than any city ofits population in the United States excepting one. In these days, when the temptation to local public extravagance is not often enough withstood, you may well be proud of this ex- hibit, and besides the satisfaction which this financial condition produces has a practical side to it. Large enterprises are often much influenced in their location by such considerations, and: they are aptto be estab- lished where the burden of taxation is the least, and where the share of public’ indebt- edness to be borne by them isthe smallest. I feel that Ican express no kindlier wishes for the people of Milwaukee than that they may continue by their = splendid advantages of location and sound financial condition to invite to their city the most im- portant elements of growth and wholesome progress.’’ MERCHANT Tailors’ short lengths in Boys’ Knee Pants, worth $3.50, at $1.65. FAMOUS. A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE, Burning of How’s Distillery in New York— Heavy Loss. NEW YORK, October 6.—A fire broke out this morning in Ephraim How’s distillery at 118 and 120 Elm street.

SUDDEN DISAPPFARANCE OF A WELIL- KNOWN CHARACTER. A Warrant for His Arrest on a Charge of Fraud Probably Responsible for His Ab- sence—A Kabbi Who Went Into the Par- doning Business—Queer Transactions on Third Street—Stock Brokers Who Hold His Notes and Checks—Gerstman as a a Third street has lost, probably forever, one of its odd characters. The fact that several well-known brokers mourn his absence does not make his history less interesting. Rev. Simon Gerstman has disappeared. It is not definitely known whether he has been kid- napped or not, but the probabilities are that his departure from the city was premeditated, and that his present absence is part of a deep-laid plan to avoid the police authorities, For Dr. Gerstman is badly wanted on a charge offraud. Aboutsix weeks ago, as the story goes, Dr. Gerstman approached Dr. Willis R. King of the Missouri Pacific Hospital witha proposition to get his son, R. E. King, out of the penitentiary. In April of last year young King was sent to the penitentiary from Sedalia on a six-year sentence for’ embez- zliing $48,000 from the Sedalia Suv- ings Bank. Dr. King has been using every effortsince his son’s imprisonment to have him pardoned. About six weeks ago he was approacbed by Dr. Gerstman,who offered to obtain a pardon for his son. Gerstman claimed that Lieut.-Gov. Morehouse, Acting-Governor, was his § friend was under obligations to him for work done during the political campaign. On the strength of these representations Dr. King gave Gerstman $40 to pay the expenses ofa trip to Jefferson City. The journey was un- dertaken and Gerstman had along talk with the Acting-Governor, in which he urged the pardon of King. Gov. Morehouse said that Gov. Marmaduke had been over the case and had refused to take any action, and he did not think that he should act in the matter during Gov. Marmaduke’s abse1ce. The con- versation between Gerstman and the Governor continued for some time. The nex‘ morning GOV. MOREHOUSE met Dr. King on the street and asked him how Gerstman chanced to take an interest in the case of hisson. Dr. King explained the cir- cumstances and repeated Gerstman’s assur- ance that he could obtain a pardon within forty-eight hours. Gov. Morehouse told Dr. King that Gerstman had no influence, and that he had better break with him. King thereupon wrote Gerstman that he had no further use for his services. In reply he re- ceived a letter stating that he was acting has- tily; that Gov. Morehouse had sat down with Gerstman again and talked the case over with him, and that he had asked him to visit him at Maryville, where they could talk the matter over further. This letter was turned over to Gov. Morehouse, who char- acterized most of the statements In it as lies. The following day the Governor received a letter from Gerstman stating that he was ex- ecting $8,000 back pension moneyand that 18 wanted to invest the money in a farm at Maryville, or in farm-mort- gages. The Governor was very indignant and he wrote Gerstman a severe letter, telling him he did not care to have any further com- munication or connection with him. All this occurred in the latter part of August. Last night Dr. King appeared at the Four Courts and swore out a wrrant against Dr. Gerstman forfraud. Officers were sent immediately to Dr. Gerstman‘sfresidence. They went first to 2915 Pine street, but there they were informed that he had moved to 2932 Olive street. At the latter piace Mre. Gerstman and her daughter were found, butthe husband and father was nowhere on the premises. Mrs. Gerstinan said that he was in Washington, but that he would return soon and prove his innocence. GERSTMAN’S RECORD. If Dr, Gerstman proves his innocence of the charge brought against him by Dr. King, he wiil have a hard time clearing up his transactions in the community of stock-brokers. Third street has known Dr. Gerstman for about three years and in that time the brokers have learned to ight very shy of him, He has a list of scaly transac- tions on the street, which includesthe name of almost every broker of prominence there. Gerstman’s first appearance on the street was about three years ago, when he came down from St. Joseph to place about $100,000 of school bonds. He figured with several orf the brokers but the impression he created was not one gage good and Ire failed to place the »0nds. He went East, but he met with no, better success there. He claimed to have placed the bonds in New York, but the fact of the matter was, they were placed with a St. Louis firm of stock brokers later, and it was then understood thatthe bonds had not even been voted at the time Gerstman was endeav- oring to place them here. Gerstman returned before long and began to spend his time in brokers’ offices. He represented himseif as a Jewish rabbi. He had been a rabbi in St. Joseph but he has had no congregation since his removal to this city and his onlv con- nection with the church at present is inthe performance of the rite of circumcision for those who require his services. On the strength of ris clerical claims, however, he obtained commissions from a number of brok- ers and did a little trading forthem. He be- caine one ofthe ‘‘street brokers,’’ who have no office or headquarters, but who bunt up an occasional trade and turn it over to regular brokers for one-half the commission. PECULIAR BUSINESS TRAITS. Gerstmann cultivated a way of walking into brokers’ offices and buying stocks or bonds offered for saie, with the promise to take them later inthe day. He would hunt about for a purchaser at an advance on the price he had agreed topay. If he found the purchaser, he would return for the stocks and bonds he had purchased and, transferring them, would pocket the profit. If he did not find a purchaser, he would not neturn to the broker’s office to call for the article pur- chased. Occasionally if he thought be could find a market for stock he would give a regu- lar broker an order to purchase it. Then if he could sell it he would do so, if hecould not he would leave the stock on the broker’s bands. One firm purchased a quantity of West Granite stock on his orders and when he failed to take it up, sold it at $40 loss. A broker, purchased 500 shares of Quincy for him at 15 cents on his claim that he had a market for it at 20 cents. The stock was turned over to him, and after much scraping about he managed to sell itat 1742 cents. His claim that he hada place for it was alla fabrication. Sometimes he sold stock to brokers and failed to deliver it. The brokers were forced to buy it elsewhere to fill their own contracts and usually at a loss. March 9 one. broker bought 1,000 shares of Quincy for him for which wuerstman gave a check on the Boatman’s Bank for $68.75. The check was returned from bank unpaid and itis stillin the broker’s pos- session. Across oneend on the face of the check is stamped in red ink, ‘‘S. Gerstman, broker, St. Louis. Stocks and bonds a apécialty. Onthe either end is stamped, also i red, ‘‘No business transacted on Saturdays Jewish holidays.’’ WM. C. LITTLE is one of the losers by Gerstman’s peculiar transactions. Gerstman bad purchased $30,000 of Atchison bonds. He sold them to Little, but a third party stepped in and got them, and Little was obliged to buy them of him atan advance of 1 per cent. ‘*‘] do not think Gerstman was to blame altogether in the transaction,’’ said Mr. Little this morning. ‘*The Atchison people had agreed to deliver the bonds hereat the Laclede Bank, but 1 guess they were afraid Gerstman would nottakethem. Thenathird party got abead of Gerstman by a ratherdirty trick, and gotthe bonds. Imade money on the entire trunsaction, butl lost between £00 and $400 prospective profits. Gerstman g ve me his note for the amount, and he wast« enter sult in Atchison. He undoubtedly has a good claim. I still have his note, which I will sell pretty cheap. I do not think Gersatman would do anything to render himself criminally but he has not much regard forthe truth. had several transactions with me, and made severai sales which turned outall right.’’ JOHN W. DONALDSON is outasmall amount of money. Gerstman owes me $15 or #$20,"* and ‘*T suppose said Mr. | how | the | send after him sometimes to get the stock back. It was always returned.’’ WERNSE & DIECKMAN do not lose anything by Gerstman, altough they did a certain amount of buriness with him. He frequently ‘‘bought’’ stock from them and failed to take it, and once he started out to deliver some stock which he claimed to have sold, and after a day or two they had to send after him to get the stock, which be was still carrying in his pocket. L. &A- COQUARD had a somewhat disagreeable experience with Gerstman, which resulted in keep- ing Gerstman out of his office. Gerstman tried to buy some St. Joseph bonds of Coquard and was told they had been soid. Shortly after, when Coquard had gone out to luncheon Gerstman, waited for his confidential correspondent and obtained a bill of sale for the bonds from him before he knew they had been solid. He gave up the bill of sale later in the day when forced to do so. JOE J. MULLALLY is another sufferer by Gerstman. He has on hand a check of Gerstman’s which he will seil at a considerable discount. ‘*‘The check came back to me ag the clearing-house,’’ said Mr. Mullally. ‘‘Il spoke to Gerstman and he said that the man he had sold the stock to had not come down. A month orso ago hecame in and said he was going to receive a lot of back-pension money, and that the check I had would be the first he would pay.’’ GERSTMAN AS A SCALPER. Another of Gerstman’s peculiar transac- tions which cameto lightto-day was in the ticket-scaiping line. About two years ago he obtained tickets at a mumber of railroad offices at reduced rates, and sold them to scalpers at a profit. He was inthe Vandalia office and obtained tickets to Chicago for him- self at the ministerial half-rate. Heappeared on the street so soon after his supposed trip North that the suspicions of Vandalia people were aroused. therefore, Gerstman obtained tickets at special rates for a family of eix people in distress, he was followed from the office and tracked to a scalper’s office, where he sold the tickets. After that transaction he was biack- listed in all the passenger offices in the city. HIS PENSION. One of Gerstman’s chief claims to credit was the prospect of a back pension which he ex- pected. In May last he claimed that the pension had been allowed and that he was toreceive $8,000 arrears. He showed the papers in the case in Wernse & Dieck- man’s office and in Matthews & Whitaker's he showed the corner of a check which he said was the check for the pension money. Gerstman has not been seen on the street for six weeks. He was seen about a month ago in the railroad depot at Toledo. In appearance he is not altogether prepossessing. He has a round face,rather fat cheeks and littie sharp eyes of black. His complexion is very sallow. He wears a little mustache of gray and his hair is also gray. His figure is short and thick. He usually wears dark blue clothing and a black soft felt hat.

An inquest was held atthe Coroner’s office to-day on the body of James McCabe, who was killed atthe corner of Fourteenth streét and St. Louis aveuue at 8:40 Tuesday night and was supposed to have been run over by the buggy of Assistant-Fire-Chief Tom Rucker. The testimony showed that atthe time of the accident McCabe hada couple of teamsof mules which he was en- deavoring to control, the animals having been frightened by the gongs and noise of the fire apparatus driving by. Rucker drove up the street at the time, but claimed that he had already driven bv when he heard the breaking of the lantern which McCabe held in his hands. McCabe was empioyed turning switches for the street railroad com- pany. Rucker’s testimony was confirmed by all the witnesses except one boy who claimed the Assistant Chief’s buggy had _ struck the man in the back and knocked him down. All testified that the team of mules near Mce- Cabe were prancing around and kicking at the time. The verdict exonerated Rucker, stat- ing oe a mule-kick had caused McCabe’s eath.

The ‘‘Van’s”’ Peculiar Predicament and the Wild Excitement Which it Created—The Rush This Morning—Another Big Crowd Looked for To-Night—Scenes and Inci- dents Pertaining to Fair Travel. Police officers and officials at the Union Depot who anticipated a considerable falling off in the crowd at the place last night were most woefully disappointed. In all previous years Tuesday and Thursday nights have been the great nights of Fair week for crowds at the depot, and Wednesday night has always been very light compared withthem. This year wasan exception, however. Last night wit- nessed one of the greatest jams the depot has ever had, and by many it was regarded as even surpassing the crowds of the previous evening and Wednesday night of last week. Usually the arnmjyals equal, if they do not exceed, the pen ni on Wednesday evening of Fair week, but in this respect last night was also an excéption to previous Fair Wednesdays. The arrivals were quite heavy, but not to be compared with the departures. No one can realize the number of strangers who werein the city the past couple of weeks unless they witness the departures at the de- pot. All previous fail crowds have been com- pletely overshadowed. By 6 o'clock last evening the depot was filled, by 7 o'cock it was thronged, and from 7:30 to 5:30 the crush was so great that it wus next to impossibie for one to make tbeir way through the crowd. It was a repetition of the preceding Wednesday night. Both waiting rooms had people packed in them so closely that ones could neither enter nor leave them, and the platform from Twelfth to Eleventh streets, and from the depot building to the farthest track south was a black mass of hu- manity. At times the crush was frightful. The Vandalia train was so long that it had to be split and a section of it placed west of the passage-way through the center of the depot. When the two sections went to couple up it was found that the cars haa on DIFFERENT STYLE COUPLERS and thatthey would not fit. For fully ten minutes the men struggled to make the coup- ling and finally succeeded, by the use of an extralink. All this time, however, the train was stretched across the passageway, hem- ming the people in between the first track and the depot building. During this interval the crush was frightful and the suffering of the people intense. Thecrowd were at a dead stand-still, so closely were the people wedged in together. Everybody was crushing and shoving in a different direction in their frantic efforts to get out of the suffocating jam, but they made no headway and only added to the general suffering. People lost all reason and acted like alot of cattie. There was a scene of the wildest confusion, Women cried out to men, ‘‘For God's sake, st p that pushing!’’ and burstinto tears and screams of alarm; children cried out piteously with fright and men cursed and swore, as they at- tempted in vain to protect themseives against the mad crush. When the train pulled out there was a slight relaxation in the jam, but it was still something frightful. Men who were used to being in crowds and crushes were ap- palled by the scene and looked on aghast. It seetned to be fully as bad, if not worse than Wednesday of last week. After the Vandalia train had pulled ont the Ohio & Mississippi, which was also similarly split in two sections, stretched across the passage way on the second track and re- mained there for nearly twenty minutes, creating another big crush, but not equal to the jam caused by the Vandalia on the first track. The crowd did not last as long as on Tuesday night, and although the crush was greater while it lasted, itis more than likely Spas more people were at the depot Tuesday night. The best evidence of this fact is that there were a ny many more extra trains run out on that night. There was a difference,too, in the travelof the two nights. Tuesday it was nearly ai’ local and suburban traffic; last night it was almost altogetier through travel.

It is seldom indeed that a new paper leaps into immediate success, but the SUNDAY Post-DIsPaTCH was one of the exceptions. It took hold at once upon public favor, as was abundantly attested by its unprece- dented circulation and crowded advertise- ments. The Post-Dispatcn for next Sunday will consist of twenty-four pages, and will surpass the initial number in the amount of reading matter and inthe gen- eral attractiveness of its contents. The resources of the SuNDAY Post-DIs- PATCH are unsurpassed, andthe extraor- dinary advantages which it enjoys for gathering news and good reading matter will be utilized tothe utmost. Its relations with the New York WORLD place it be- yond the reach of local competition in the race for pre-eminence as a Sunday morn- ing family paper.

The ponderous and .re- pellent magazine disquisitions found in some Sunday morning contemporaries will not be allowed to weigh down its columns.

HUNTINGTON, one of those Pacific Railroad people who have squeezed such enormous fortunes out of the Gov- ernment and people of these United States, is not yet satisfied with the pe- cuniary emolument he has received for devoting ‘‘twenty-five of the best years of his life’’ tothe service of his country. He considers $2,000,000 a year very poor pay for the road-building he hus done with the money and lands furnished by the Government. The fact that the Gov- ernment furnished the means and that he and his set own the roads, does not keep him from talking as if he had built the Central and Southern Pacific both with that $1.500 he invested at the start, and had then made a present of both roads to the Government or to the people. So he wants a chance to get even, and thérefore insists thatthe welfare of this country will never be placedon a safe and permanent basis untilwe not only forgive the hundred millions of debt due from the Pacific ee Companies but lavish subsidies on er companies, until! the Government debt is increased to #2,- 000,000,000 and made permanent, like the debt of Great Britian. With that amount in $50 bonds placed ‘‘in the bands of every man and woman,’’ he thinks all danger of anarchy or sedition would be obviated, and that the debt would be not only a closer bond of union between citizens and between them and their Government, but ‘‘a power of financial and commercial ‘strength to the country.” As Mr. HUNTINGTON is one of four men who, by investing $1,500 apiece, have made over $100,000,000 out of the Central Pacific subsidy, we can see that his plan of runing the Government in debt for $1,000,000 more of subsidies would simply add about fifty more to our present galaxy of enormously rich bood- lers, of whom we have far too many al- ready for the peace of society and the cleanliness of politics. They breed more Anarchists than any other cause of dis- content in our social fabric. Whenever the salvation of our Government requires that a $50 bond shall be placed ‘‘in the hands of every man and woman,’’ our past experience should admonish us to putit there as a direct gift, rather than by selling it tothe people and giving the money to subsidy thieves. —————_ > Oss ———— UNDER the proposals of August 8 and September 22, the Government has taken Offerings of $21,422,250 (face value) of bonds, and has paid thereon premiums a™nounting to $2,683,929. The receipts of revenue in the month of September alone amounted to $33,215, 227-—-$18,843,774 in ex- cess of current expenses. By paying out nearly $3,000,000 in premiums to bondhold- ers, the Government hus in two months managed to dispose of only $24,106,179 of the surplus of over $36,000,000 drawn into the Treasury during the sam« two months. All the squeezing of a tight money market caused by excessive tax collection, and all the treasure lavished in premiums to bondholders utterly fail te keep down the accumulating surpius. If the policy of the Administration was embodied by the New York Denocrats in their plat- form ‘‘demand that Federal taxation be straightway reduoced,’’ why is vot Con- isin ge: The Ns iat 7 SP ORR, ofan gress summoned to meet straightway and begin the work of reduction? ‘ THE Chicago Tribune, an uncompromis- ing Blaine paper, is trying to prove that Mr. BLAINE is a tariff-reformer of an ex- treme type—such areformer, for instance, as could stand on the State platforin of the Ohio Democrats. This view presents Mr. BLAINE as more worthy than ever of popular support, but it may seriously dampen the enthusiasm with which the | war-tariff crowd now commend him to the public. a THE Chicago Herald notes the fact that the President and his wife passed a quiet Sunday in St. Louis, and then asks: ‘‘In | e| I | its existence, moment, and itisseldom removed byr St. Louis how could it be otherwise?” the President should stay in Chicago till next Sunday perhaps he would be escorted to church with a brass band, but his Western trip has been so arranged that he will not be in that city onthe LORD’s Day. i a SINCE 1880 there has been arapid increase in the number of public schools‘in the Southern States. The public school sys- tem of the South was put into successful operation as soon asthe Republican car- pet-bag governments were overthrown. The time has not yet come when the con- trolofthe Southern State governments can be safely intrusted to the Repub- licans. Dr. Holmes in the Atlantic. The special point in which the Londoner ex- cels all oiher citizens 1 am conversant with is the hat. I have not forgotten Beranger's ‘‘Quoigque leurs chapeaux soient bien laids ee *#* mol, j'aime les Angiais;’’ but in spite of it I believe in the English hat as the best thing of its ugly kind. As for the Englishman’s feeling with reference toit, a foreigner might be pardoned for thinking it was his fetich, a North American Indian for looking at it as taking the place of his own medicine bag. itisacommon thing for the Englishman to say his prayers into it, as he sits downin his pew. Can it be that this im- parts a religious character to the article? However this may be, the true Londoner’s hat is cared tor as reverentially asa High Church ‘altar. Faroff its coming shines. I was always impressed by the fact that even with us a well-bred gentleman in reduced cir- cumstances never forgets to keep his beaver well brushed, and I remember that long agol spoke of the hat as the ultimum moriens of what we used to call gentility—the last thing to perish in the decay of a gentleman’s outfit. His hat is as sacred to an Englishman as his beard to a Mussulman. Trials of a Lady Editor. From the Pelican Rapids (Minn.) Pioneer. It is known in Pelican Rapids that ever since the Pioneer dared to publish some refiec- tions on the part which the maternal parent of Ernest Bilaiscell had played in that young man’s elopement affair last winter Mrs. M. J. Blaisdell—otherwise the Minnesota Bliz- zard—has chosen not to be on speaking terms with the editor of the Pioneer; in fact, has on her side been at daggers drawn. Last week athree-line item appeared in the Pioneer giving a little news concerning the health of Mrs. Blaisdell’s husband. Some say pow that the information was not correct; that instead of a paralytic stroke it was a bad at- tack of rheumatism with which Mr. ‘Blais- dell was afflicted. (Nooneissnre but that it may have been a parasolic stroke.) Be thatas it may, on Monday morning last Mrs. B. came to the office, where three of us confronted her in solid phaianx, and, fiercely brandishing her inevitable parasol, gave ventin brawling tones to something like the following language: ‘*What did you put Mr. Blaisdell’s narne in your paper for? Don’t you ever dare to put Mr. Blaisdell’s name or my namein that pa- per again! Don’t you ever dare, or I'll prose- cute you! I’lldoit! Now, you remember!’’ An English View of America. From the London Daily News. The experiment which has now been in prog- ress onthe other side of the Atlantic for over a century is the most conclusive in the history of humanity. Nothing less has been settled there than the power of men to govern them- selves to all the greatest ends of national and of individual life. That power has been tested in nearly every way, in war as well as in peace, by the elation of victory if not, thank heaven, by the humiliations of defeat, It has never been found wanting. The American civil war wasthe only great contest of the kind in which no single life was taken in cold blood as a punishment for treason. It was followed by a disarmament which was even greater as an act of patriotism than the original call t® arms. It has been followed in our day by a perfect réconciliation between the sections, and by a growth in prosperity which is the wonder of the world. Ali this, with how much less in culture, in education, in inven- tion, in every art of life, has been achieved by the common people for themselves, and it is the greatest servite ever rendered to man- kind. Withthe United States in their place among the nations the humbliest of men may take hope. A Salt Trust. From the New York Times. The salt manufacturers have agreed to form a Trust, and the sugar refiners are said to be contemplating the creation of asimilar combi- nation. There are to be sixty-three com- panies in the salt Trust, and it will absolutely control the domestic supply. Fortunately for consumers, wonopolizing combinations of this kind are now receiving the attention of legislators and other public men. The object of a Trust is to maintain an arbitrary standard of prices by destroying competition in some branch of industry. A Trust is not a corpora- tion, but it absorbs a great many corporations and exercises the powers given % them by law. At the same time it is notaccountuble to the State which granted those powers. Com: panies doing business on State charters and franchises which aliow themselves to be ab- sorbed by an Irresponsible monopoly calleda Trust shonld have their charters annulled. Probably existing laws afford a remedy for such an abuse of granted privileges. These laws should be tested without delay. No mo- nopolistic combination of chartered ¢corpora- tions should be permitted to defy or nullify the laws which were enacted for the regula- tion and restraint of its component parts.

From the New York WORLD. The Prohibitionists expect to increase their vote in the State this year to 45,000 or 50,000, The average increase of the lastthree years would make it over 42,000. If the Prohibition strength should reach 45,000 the Democrats might count upon a plurality of about 16,000 on the basis of last year’s vote. But the Labor vote of last November was cast for Judge Peck- ham, and, although confined in this city, it reached over 68,000. It will readily be seen that the result of the election in New York this year, and probably for many years to come, must depend upon the extent of the Labor vote and how it is cast, whether for or in oppo- sition to the Democratic candidates, The Dog as Precise as the Cadets, From the Louisville Courier-Journal.

What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the POsST-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, October 6.—The WORLD says: ‘*After having ‘limited production’ to a point where prices couid be held up, the coal ring takes advantage of a strike by the miners still further to advance the costofthis universal necessity. And thus the monopoly oppresses the miners with one hand and plunders the public with the other. There will be a stop to this sort of thing some day.’’ THE SUN. The Sun says: ‘‘The sentiment expressed by the St. Louis man who cried out, ‘God bless the President and his good lady,’ is praiseworthy, but why could he not sa ‘good wife’? Mr. Matthew Arnold has aa that itis a test of one’s taste in poetry to pick out the scattered evidences of real poetic fire in Macaulay’s ‘Lays of Ancient Rome.’ It is atest of one’s freedom from vulgar affecta- tion of refinement to use the word ‘lady’ only atthe righttimeand place. The President’s ‘lady!’ Alas! alas!’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: *‘Senator Gorman thinks that the men who denounce the shameless Democratic ring of Baltimore are hurting the business interests of this city. ‘this is simply cool impudence. The Democratic thieves thugs and ballot-box stuffers who have serve the Senator for many years are the men who really hurt the business interests of Balti- more,.’’ THE TIMES. ; The Times says: ‘‘It would be difficult to find anything opposed to good morals and orthodox doctrine in the epeechbes and writ- ings of Powderly, and anybody judging the Knights by these utterances woul be compelled to find that they constitute a eaceable, benevolent and innocent organization. The Pope and the Curdinal presumably do not read the secular papers, and are therefore unaware that the ‘nights, when roused by strikes, do not pay the slightest attention to the amiable doc- trines laid down by the General Master-Work- man.’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

Thecurious thing was that they had clothes on, especially Eve was right nicely dressed. Where in the name of sense did the getthem from? There might be some prudis people that might think it indecent to have them on the floatas they ought to be, and were in reality, butthen those people might just as weil object to the nade in art. The clothes on Adam and Eve reminded me very much of a toy ‘‘Noah’s Ark’’ which I saw once which had lace curtains in the windows. KE. R. St. Louis, Mo., October 5, 1887. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

What Ladies Find to Interest Them—The Difference Between Men and Women Visitors—To-Night’s Musical Programme —Nuggets From the Naves. When the Exposition was opened four years ago a theme for discussion was the prevalence ofthe masher dude and his attentions to the handsome female attendants at the various popcoorn stands and at several of the exhibits. But very little of thiscan be seen now, and it is a general impression that the subject was woefully overdrawn in the first place. This city is almost free from the pres- ence of whutis known as the true masher, though a few callow youths attempt in a sickly, half-hearted way to convey the im- pression that they arefully up in the intrica- cles of their so-called profession, yet their alleged triumphs emanate from their shallow brains, and they are really harmless. Another point which must be considered is that exhibitors do not encourage such proceedings to any alarming extent, and while they recognize the value of a handsome face and form in connec- tion with business they look at the matte? from a purely commeroial standpoint, and in- sist on arigzid attendance to business during business hours. . 7 * If there is.one thing more than any other that women are supposed to admire it is dress. At the Exposition there are numerous handsome displays of dress guods and fine millinery, yet a careful observer would fail to observe that these displays attract women more than others. Of course they certainly do not overlook these displays, but then other displays get just as much attention. Women are not supposed to take much interest In ma- chinery or displays of farm implements, but observation shows that they visit the ma- chinery displays and show an astonishing amount of -interest in everything, from the barbed wire machine to the steam rock drill. Men do not like to display ignorance by asking questions, and in consequence leave the hall, ignorant on many points of the ma- ohines they have seen, but no well-regulated woman leaves until her mind is fully satisfied on every point, though the probabilities are that she will have forgotten all about it in half an hour.

A COUPLE OF GENTLEMEN SLEEP IN ASTA- TION-HOUSE ON THIS CHARGE. ‘ James S. Robbins’ Badly Pummeled by Miss Cora Smith’s Brothers, Tells How He Met the Young Lady—A “‘Sawed-Oft” Tele- graph Operator Who Got Inte Trouble in a Similar Way. James 8. Robbins was arrested last evening on complaint of Cora Smith and was lodged in the Third District Police Station, charged with insulting Miss Smith. The prisoner was found this morning in his cell looking rather bedraggled and careworn. He is 4 man of medium height, well bailt and fashionably dressed, but his conversation betrayed the fact that he was from the country and he admitted the fact, though he refused to state the exact locality. Mr. Robbins made the following statement to a Post-DISPATCH reporter: A QUEER STORY. ‘‘I went out with some friends on Monday evening to see the Hendricks parade, and while standing onthe corner of Fourth and Washington avenue this girl, Cora Smith, spoke to one of my friends and he went up and- spoke to her. She was very affable and did not resent his attentions in the least. He spoke to her about five minutes and as we wished to hear the music in front of the Lindell Hotel he agreed to meet us on the squtheast corner of Sixth and Locust streets, and“@t the end of the appointed time he did so. The girl was also in the vicinity, and my friend sug- sxested that I should speak to her and ask per- mission to escort her home, I did so and she said she was glad of the change. We then went to her home, No. 1525 North Seventh street, where I met and was introduced to some other young ladies and her two brothers. We sat around talking untilabout half-past 10, when I prepared to leave. Cora accompanied me to the door, and I oe = arm around her waist and kissed her. ed her to make an ap- pointment to aR | me the following evening (Tuesday), but she pleaded another engage- ment and told me tocall Wednesday even- ing and she said she would either be at home or would meet me on the adjoinin corner at about 8:30. Yesterday evening { made my appearance at about half-past 9 and passed the house, but concluded for some rea- son notto goin. I walked South on Seventh street, and met the girl, who was carrying a tin bucket. I said ‘Hello, Cora,’ and she made some reply and passed on. I waited for a short time and I nextsaw her in about ten |} minutes standing on a side street talking to two ~<a whom I recognized as her brothers. I ap roached the group, and one of them said: ou are the tefio ol want to see, a meat the same time by the lapels. o coat. He then struck me on the mouth and I broke loose and ran, after hear- ing a suggestion concerning a knife. They followed and I ran into a private barn, where the two uawmercifully pounded me. They then insisted on my going to the police sta- tion, and asI knew! had done nothing wrong 1 consented and was locked up.’ THE GIRL’S STORY. In company with afriend of Mr. Robbins who came to ball him out, the reporter visited the Smith residence, No. "1525 North Seventh street. The legs of two male slee ers, which hung gracefully over the footboard of the bed, were the most striking feature of the interior of the room the reporter entered. Mr. Robbins’ friend came to pour oil on the troubled water, and was referred to the father of the young lady, who, she said, ran a saloon on Sixth and O'Fallon streets. The reporter attempted to get astatement from Miss Smith, but was repulsed in a haughty manner and failed to get any more information. A visit was then paid to Sixth and O'Fallon streets in search of the father, but careful in- quiry failed to develop bis whereabouts. The case will come up for trialin the Second Dis- trict Police Court to-morrow at 9m. The Smiths say they will make their statement in open court, Another Case. Earlier in the evening about8o’clock Will- lam Adiel, a telegraph operator, was in- carcerated at the same _ station on a charge of making improper proposals to some small giris. Adiel was found in his cell in a very dispirited condition. His break- fast of bread and slices of exaggerated wiener- wurst was piled on the seat in monumental fashion on a pedestal consisting of the cover of a superannuated hymn book with a Salva- tion Army pedigree, and Adiel was braced on the seat where he could contemplate it while he rested his back against the heavy bars of his narrow prison, Adiel is asmall man, in fact he stopped extending himself heavenward ata very early period of his life. He Is about three fect six inches tall, and resembles Oharles Decker to a remarkable degree. The complaining witnesses are Neilie and Annie Garvin, aged respectively nine and eleven years. Adiel made the following state- ment: ‘‘l am, as you see, Very.smail and am frequently annoyed by children and others who follow me oo remarks about my stature. Last night I was in the vicinity of Sixth street and Franklin avenue, and a lotofchildren gathered around hooting and calling me ‘‘sawed off’’ and ‘‘Hammered down,’’ and annoying me otherwise. I chased them away several times, and sud- denly Iwas arrested, charged, as they tell me, with making improper proposals to chil- dren. I did not doit; but if Icould have founda rock I would have cheerfully killed some of those chiidren.’’ The reporter called at the Garvin residence on the third floor of No. 817 North Sixth street, where he found the mother of the two littie girls, Mra. James Garvin. Both children were atschooland Mrs. Garvin said: ‘‘My children were playing onthe street last night, and this little man was sitting in front of the restaurant below. He called Nellie over and said: ‘Come here sweetheart, and kiss ime;’’ she ran away and then he cailed Annie over and proposed to take her intoan alley. The children told me and Itold my husband who went down and had him arrested. I also learned that he offered another little girl a dollar to come with him just a few moments, before.’’ Mrs. Garvin said that she would not let her littie girls go into court as witnesses so that Adiel will probably get off scot free.

The material, too, is in no haste to change. The tailor gown par excellence, the tailor gown that appeals to the New York heart is afine, soft, stnooth, ladies’ cloth, self-colored and fitting from top to toe without awrinkle. There is a decided innovation, however, in the amount of trimming that it admits. Gold and silver braid and dark, rich plushes, have broken through the charmed circie, and, within limits, the more of them the tailor gown assumes the more of a tailor gown it is. **‘BERRY WALL’’ overcoats, the latest dude style, at FAMOUS.

Much interest istaken both by the citizens of East St. Louis and the residents of New Brighton inthe progressof the case of the Village of New Brighton against Wm. Starkel, which indirectly involves the legality of the annexation of that village tothis city. The case, which originated in Starkel’s refusal to pay a saloon license to the Treasurer of New Brighton on bitterly contested. Attorney E. R. Davis is weil prepared to sent the East St. Louis side of the case, ana ‘be arti that the city should begin at the most easterly corner of the platted town of East St. Louis, reference being had to the plat on record in the Re- corder’s Mce, thence along Bae boundary of said town southwestwardly and its straight continuation to the old bed of Cahokia Creek. The late John B. Bowman, who was Mayor at —_ time, took the corner of St. Clair avenue Tenth street to be the most easterly, and oo sequently Tenth street became the eastern boundary of the city. A survey mae by City Engineer Weber the other day, however shows that the northeast corner of the settled rtion of New Brighton, which was included n the plat of the town made in 1859, to which — the charter states, reference was to ad in defining the boundaries of the city, is thirty feet east of the point which ex-Mayor Bowman took for the most easterly one. Con- uently, pongemns SS the charter, the city of East 8t. Louis embraces not only the settied portion of New Brighton, but the Ames tract and the third sub-division of Cahokia Com- mons, A dastardly attempt was made last ni me: an unknown incendiary to barn down a occupied by a German , named Kickert, on 8t. Louis avenue, between Ninth —< Tentn streets. The house belongs to Baptiste Frey, an engineer on the Illinois & St. Louis road whoilives in Belleville, and it is the general impression that the atteropted incendiary’s act was prompted by malice again him, and not against the pants. The incendiary had eA can full of coal oil, and a number Pp saturated with the same fluid, which he up against the side of the house. Having ar- ranged the combustibles in a manner likely to prove most effective, he then lit a match for the purpose of setting them off. The flare of the match attracted a lady named Mrs. Lind- say, who lives next door and who happened at that moment to be at a window from which she could see the residence of the Kickerts. By the light of the match she saw what the man was about and ran to the front door and screamed lustily. Her screaming was heard by Mr. Henry Louis whose residence also joined that of the Kick- ert’s, and he ran out, revolver in hand, to as- certain what the trouble was. Just as he reached the street he discerned aman disap- earing in the shadows, but did not fire.

From the Philadelphia Press. The feminine bachelor is becoming a feature of New York. She has developed there to an extent not known in any other city. Sheis frequently pretty, she is al- ways well dressed; she ranges from 23 to 33 years old, and she leads an independent life not usual with any other class of women. The feminine bachelor is a woman, young, unmarried, living by her- self or with a companion like herself, to whom society, by common consent, allows an individual freedou never dreamed of by the champeroned girl, and to be likened only to the Bohemian existence of the unmarried man. The feminine bachelor is usually a bright girl, and she often comesfrom the country. She is fully capable of taking care of her- self, and her numbers multiply every sea- son. The feminine bachelor is, save from other Bohemian women, a stranger in the city, though taking her bon comaraderie extends the circle of her acquaintance rapidly. Sheis an art student, a medical student. Sheis learning music or short- hand. She has literar henge» s, and sends manuscripts to all the publishers. She isonan independent footing, comes and goes as she pleases, holds her- self bound by no code of propriety save her own,and has induced society to accept her code as for her as good a one as need be. She has comparatively few acquaintances of the other sex. Men are apt to like her, and she is apt to like them, but she is too busy to let the asso- ciation go very far. She is not distinct- ively a bluestocking, ike the Boston old maid. Shedoesnotremain single of set purpose, butis like enough to continue unmarried through filling her life full of other things. The true feminine bachelor is never a pessimist. She likes New York; she re- joices in her own perfect freedom. and she dissipates in a bright, innocent, light- hearted way that is more like the joviality of boys and. girls than the dignity of three decades of years. The feminine bachelor goes to concerts and lectures, and to the theater a great deal. I have never missed her on a first night. She is always there, and is the best posted woman on opera and plays in the city. She comes alone and she goes home alone, and nobody molests her or makes her afraid. The independent woman, city gypsy she calls herself sometimes, has not usually a full pocketbook. She can’t afford too big arent bill and frequently her office or studio or workroow is sit- ting-room and bedroom in one. There are buildings, not too many of them, which make a specialty of letting offices to her, and here she will exercise an in- genuity that stamps her as truly femi- nine, to conceal its deficiences, adapt it for business andturn it into a home, Her folding-bed doesn’t betray that she sleeps there. Her toilet arrangements are tucked away behind a hand-painted screen or secluded by bright draperies. If she can afford it she goes to a restau- rant. If she can’t, the possibilities of a as stove and “light housekeeping” are soundless. These emancipated women hunt in couples usually, and the part- ners toa housekeeping arrangement of this kind, engaged in widely different work perhaps through the day, contract friendships that last through a lifetime. These women of the offices, the studies and the studios grow into Bohemian coter- ies whose members are independent of other associations. There are anywhere from 1,200 to 1,500.0f them in the city, 1 suppose, and they are the most interest- ing, frequently the most brilliant, of all city women tomeet. They are leadinga life that would have been impossible to any woman without ostracism twenty-five years ago, butis now so fully recognized that the most sensitive of women can thrive under it and grow ~E in it. The feminine bachelor is a feature of modern New York. FINEST quality Montagnac overcoats for $35, sold at $50 elsewhere. FAMOUS. _—— — 10,000 Parks Boys’ Pants at Famous; 690 up to $5.

The seller of clothing don’t rejoice in getting your money into his hands just to give it back again to you. But the shrewdest way to carry on business, as far as our experience has gone, is to be generous and just. We have the most reliable clothing we know how to make. We put the quality on every garment. Make the price as little as we can to get the smallest profit from it. If we stopped there we might say—we can’t do any more. Wecan’t: that’s true. Except this: If you buy clothing of us and change your mind about it, bring it back. We'll refund the money to you. Don’t stay dissatisfied. It’s as good as money to us. We want your money with your good-will. We can better afford to return it to you, than keep it with- out that. The Wanamaker make of clothing is too good to be half-liked.

The Boston Slugger Will Be Gone a Year and Will Meet All Comers—He Again Talks of Retiring From the Ring—The Trotting Yesterday—Sporting News and Notes— Base Ball Gossip. By Telegraph to the PosT-DispaTcn. Boston, October 6.—J. L. Sullivan will sail for Europe October 29. Harry Phillips, a well- known sporting man from Montreal, has been in town forthree days making arrangements with the champion to become his manager. The business was settled yesterday after- noon, the day for starting decided upon anda plan of action mapped out. Phillips and Sullivan are reticent regarding the terms, but it is said that they will share equally the profits of the trip. Sulli- van said to a correspondent of the Post-Dis- PATCH: ‘*Yes,J am going to Europe with my friend Harry Phillips. We shall start the lat- ter part of this month and go to Liverpool first. Wewillmakea tour of England, Ire- land and Scotland during the fall and winter, and in the spring go to the Continent.’’ ‘*Will any other pugilist go abroad with you?’’ **No, I shall go alone; that is, Ishall not travel with acombination. Jimmy McKeon, who has always accompanied me on my travels, will be with me, but merely as a per- sonal friendand companion. When I get to England I shail make arrangements to spar with the best men they have got over there, and at every exhibition will have it understood that I stand ready to meet all comers.’’ ‘‘How long do you intend to remain abroad?’’ WILL BE GONE A YEAR. ‘‘Well, I shall be away at least a year and perhaps more. Itall depends upon circum- stances. Iam going over there for money and not for further honors. I want that distinctly understood. WhenlIgetall the money that is forthcoming, Ishall return and retire perma- nently from the ring. lalso want this dis- tinctly understood. Ifany ofthe big fighters want to meet me they will have to speak with- in the next year or two or else forgo the pleas- ure of an encounter.’’ ‘*What about Kilrain and Smith?’’ ‘*I have already expressed a willingness to meet the winner andIshall not take back water. After they have settied their little dispute, I will be ready to talk business to them,.’’ **Do you think Kilrain will whip the En- glishman?’’ ‘*To be candid with youI donot. Kilrain is a good fighter, but he will be greatly handi- capped in his coming battle. In the first place the chances are that he will not be given afairshow. He is going over there in the hands of an Englishman, will be trained by an Englishman, and will fight in the presence of Englishmen. This, of course, will have a great dealto do with the result. The sym- pathy of the spectators will be with Smith, | and if Kilrain does get the best of it the en 3 are that the fight will be called a raw.’’ Manager Phillips is very sanguine of the fi- nancial success of the trip. He said: ‘*T have nearly all the details of the trip ar- ranged. Ihave felt pretty certain for some time that I should take the champion abroad and I had mapped out a programme. ido not want to talk much about that now, but I have not the slightest doubt ofthe success of the trip. Sullivan has promised me as faithfully as he did Pat Sheedy two years ago that he will not drink a drop while he is under my oceans and I believe him. He has not been drinking as bad since his break with Sheedy as bas been represented and I am con- vinced that itis notsuch an effort for the champion to keep stright as some seem to think.’’ HOLSKE WILL GO, TOO. Ed C. Holske, recently of the Police News, who figured so prominently in the Carney- McAuliffe muddle, accompanies the party abroad. He has been engaged by Phillips as advance agent, and will be paidasalary. For the past three years Sullivan and Holske have been on bad terms, but they have become friends again. Holske will start at once and have things ready for America’s champion on his arrival. Sullivan is in the _ best of condition and never looked more able to fight for his life than he does to-day. Since the grand testimonial at the Boston Theater in August, he has been doing considerable work. Until the Ist of Septemnber he was in active training at Nan tasket Beach, and since then has been divid- ing his time between the Glen House, Water- town and Boston. At the former place, which isabout ten tmiles out of the city, several pugilists are now tn training for coming bat- tles, and John IL. usually walks out there twice a week to have a bout withthe speed balls, and accompany Councilman Billy Maho- ney'’s ‘‘unknown’’ ina spin on the Charles river. The Trotting Meeting. There was a splendid crowd at the race track yesterday to see the big pace. Argyle won the first heat in 2:1742 and the second in 2:15. Ed Annan won the third and the fourth in 2:17% and 2:18le. Therace is finished to-day. The 2:40 trot was won in straight heats by Al- creon, Louisville Wins. The third game in the Louisville series with the Browns yesterday at Louisville was won by the Kentuckians. King and Hecker were the pitchers: The Browns made 6 runs, 12 bits and 5 errors, and the Louisvilles 7 runs, 10 bits and 3 errors, Connolly umpired. Other Games Abroad.

A Dakota territorial league has been formed, Managing Director Watrous will not be con- nected with the Metropolitan Club hereafter, he having sold his stock a few days ago. One or the veteran firemen who has just re- turned from San Francisco says that the clubs out there play wholly under the old-time rules. Only three men have played In every cham- peer gaine this season. They are Ward, Morrill and Sam Thompson. Johnson of Bos- ton is just a half a game behind them. Two straight knock-outs in as many days for Louisville doesn’t look like the St. Louis Browns intended té ‘‘give away'’ games to Kelly's men to spite the Cincinnatis.—[En- quirer,. By having a ‘‘falling out’’ with Al Spalding, President Stearns of the Detroits has offended the best friend he had in the League. When the matter of percentage comes up in the League meeting Spalding may have something to suy that willnot be pleasant for Detroit's ear.—| Boston paper. The Pittsburgers say that when the season opens next year the team will be strengthened by the addition of a strong hitting outfield and two infielders. Two of the present players will be sold, the others released. Dalrymple they regard a good captain and he will likely continue in that position next year.—([Indian- apolis exchange. ‘*Kid’’ Baldwin caught his fiftieth ene- cessive game yesterday, and caught it finely atthat, ‘*Kid’’ is a first-class ball player and will improve intemper with age. He is too old already, however, and has been in the business too long, to take offense at the guy- ing of the crowd on the bleaching boards.— bY eveland Piaindealer. Thatis queer. The *laindealer a few days ago was of the opinion that Baldwin missed a game. It leaked out last week that Greenwood, the popular second baseman of the Baltimore Club, and who isa native of the Quaker City, does not care to play ball in Baltimore next season. Greenwood has had considerabie sickness in his family, and on one occasion came near losing his wife, which has caused him to become down-hearted and at times Gespoudent. The management, as well as the En Re Se ES, eee a. ge J . ASO SACI ie IN Sime Mine.” MERRIE —— public, think a great deal of Greenwood, not only because he has been playing great ball, but because he acted so honorably in refusing ail offers while with the Newarks and came to Baltimore because he had given them his na li word of honor with him.—[New ork Sun. Sporting Notes, C. M. Wilson of Detroit has sold to Frank Work of New York the gray gelding Billy Freer, record 2.22, for $5,000. The Dwyers have a new wonder, a yearling, bred by Alexander R. J. Hancock of Charlotte, va. 2, eisafull brotherto Eole. They call m Eon, Appleby & Johnson offered $15,000 for Racs- land, which was not accepted. The Dwyers asked Joe Ullman to price him, and $25,000 was the figure named. About forty or fifty active members of the Brooklyn Athletic Association have sent in their resignations, having become dissatisfied with the action of the Board of Governors, in- creasing the annualdues of the athletic por- tion of the members from $12 to $20, the same as the social or non-active members. The seceding members intend to jform a new athletic organization, with grounds in the lower part of the city. The Mott Haven Athletic grounds will have this year’s farewell athletic meeting on October 15. There will be the fourth 100-yard run for the Bell medal, the seventh quarter- mile dash for Oelrich’s Bronze, the third 120-yard hurdle race for the Schuyler medal, and the first of the one-mile runs which will be raced for Mr. French’s silver trophy cup. Each of these einblems must be won three times to become personal property. In connection with comments on the scratch- ing of Gleaner at Gravesend, ‘‘Vigilant,’’ in the Spirit of the Times, says: ‘‘We know of a case in whicha prominent jockey backed a horse he was engaged to ride for $1,000, about a month ago. It was the fifth race of the day. The horse was a favorite. Just before mount- ing, however, he sent word he would like to have his bet hedged. When asked why, he said he ‘didn’tlikethe horse.’ He was re- minded that he had no grounds for such dis- like, as he had not seen him till now. But he persisted in hedging. The owner has always thought it queer.’’ : The rival Brooklyn heavy-weight pugilist, Jim Glynn and Jack Fallon, met the other day to arrange a fightto a finish. They each haveup a forfeit of $100. Glynn wanted to fizht for $2,000. Fallon said he could not raise any such amount, and thought $00 a side enough. After considerable haggling Glynn said he would make the match for $1,000 a side, but nothing less. Fallon said he thought he could get the money if allowed a little time to hustie around among his friends. He was cxiven until ll a.m. to-morrow when they will again meet and sign articles, which will be for a fight with skin-tight gloves toa finish, according tothe newrulesof the London prize ring. ‘*Broadchurch,’’ writing from Louisville to the Spirit of the Times, says: ‘‘ Before leaving New York I heard rumors that the jockey, Fishburn, had been accused of pulling Race- land in the Flatbush Stakes. The owner, Joe Ullman, it was stated, had madethe charge, ana intimated there was some sortof proof forthcoming. Wednesday Col. Clark received atelegram from Ullman asking him to send Fishburn Exst to be examined by the Sheeps- head Ray officials, intimating that there was proof asto the pulling business, Col, Clark answered the telegram by. stating that while he was willing to go as far as anypody in having fraud exposed and the perpetrator punished, he bad no authority to send Fish- burn East.’’ The Vandalia and Illinois Central Line, St. Louis and Chicago, Free reclining chair cars have been placed in service by this line between the two cities named.

Business To-Day Soon Suspended for Bar- ristersa to Attend the Big Fair. To-day isnot a Federal holiday and there- fore the United States Circuit Court met in regular session at the usual hour, with Judges Brewer and Thayer onthe bench. Mr. Frank P. Fish of Boston, who Is here to present some matters of special litigation, was introduced to the Courtby Col. Henry Hitchcock and was duly enrolled, alittle process that involves an entry on the minutesfor the day and that costs the Boston burrister the moderate fee of 85 cents. He could, in addition, take a di- ploma with aneat little piece of blue ribbon about it, but hesized up the parchment, asked tne price, $5, and concluded thatit was not necessary, andthatin any case the parchment was not worth the money.

A BRILLIANT AUDIENCE CRITICISES A. W. PINERO’S “DANDY DICK.” Swelldom and Bohemia Mingle at the Fash- ionable New York Theater—The Play Be- low the Standard of Mr. Daly’s Pieces— Nym Crimkle Picks Ont Its Faults— Amusement Notes. By Telegraph tothe Post-DisPatTcH. NEw YORK, October 6.—Mr. Daly’s Theater fell into line last night and society en banc was a witness. So there was notable giving and taking of merriment and gladness, amid much brilliancy of presence, it being understood now from Murray Hill to Madison Square that the opening of Daly’s Theater is always an event, irrespective of the play-bill, that must be experienced by everybody who will have anything to talk about at the next sociable, the next meeting of the choir or the next lull of gossip in tbe club. Conserv- ative swelldom and Bohemian cleverness join hands on Daly’s Theater and the opening night reveals literature, art, society, criticism and wealth leveled to the same dress- coat uniformity of satisfaction. That this brilliant assemblage was at all critical may be doubted. It was 60 giad to see Mr. Daly’scompany again that the performance stopped at every entrance for them to make boisterous welcome and it allowed its good humor yery often to override its judgment. **DANDY DICK,’’ THE YEW PIECE, isnotatall upto Mr. A. W. Pinero s work previously seen atthis house. It isaplay that isopen to several objections and the most serious objection that acool judgment will this morning make againstit is that its humor is mainly furnished by the cheap device of contrasting the slang and horse-talk of the betting stable against the propriety and decorum of an English clergyman’s home, To a certain order of mind an impropriety is the funniest thing in the world if it be only com- mitted where it is mostoutof place. Upon this rather humiliating fact Mr. Pinero ap- pears to have constructed ‘‘Dandy Dick.’’ He makes a slangy and rather rude woman come into the Dean of St. Marvell’s home, where he has two charming daughters, bringing the flavor and the phraseology of the turf with her and the unseemliness of her language and de- portment in the presence of the fastidious dean produces the same hilarity that a riot- ous boy willcreate in ameeting-house. The two daughters of the dean, ore of them pre- sumably 15, makes an assignation with two idiotic English army officers to gotoa fancy ball. They are to steal out without their father’s knowledge and retura through a window in the morning. Mr. Pi- nero’s hilarious treatment of this Toads us to suspect that he believes this is the habitual custom, if not the proper caper, with all English clergymen’s daughters. He gives us an evening at homeintbe dean’s house, asif to show that an evening at home in a genteel family is the dullest thing on earth without dice and cards and Welsh rarebits and horse slang. Indeed, Georgiana Tidman, the horse- woman who is installed in the house, distinct- ly points this outin one or two ironical lines. ltis the purpose of the play, then, to show how the dean, who is pressed for money, is led to bet £50 on Dandy Dick in a coming race, Mr.Pinero’s suppgsition being that a bet is funny when a respectable dean makes it, in spite of his conscience. There were agreat many silly people inthe audi- ence who agreed with him. Having become interested in the horse, the clergyman then undertakes, late at night, to prepare a bolus for him that will preveut him from having a chill, and, going down to the stable to admin- ister it, is arrested by the watchers, who ac- cuse bim of attempting to poison the animal. This, it may be said, is peurile, even for Mr. Pinero. Itrests for its acceptance on the hy- pothesis thata clergyman caught in such a scrape is funnier than any other mancan be, In short, Mr. Pinero’s only use for the clergy- man in the play is to contrast his dignified in- nocence against his misfortunes. When it is saidthat Mr. Fisher played the part of the dean, it will be known that it was admirably played, but only to those who saw it will it be known how superbly and hopelessly he bore aloft a tine type of benevolent priest and father, in spite of the slang and impudence of the people who invaded his house. HIS OLD SERVANT PUT POISON into the bolus and when the dean is arrested and humiliated he offers to prove his inno- cence by taking some of the mixture himself. Miss Ada Rehan, who hasto enact the part of Georgiana Tidman, may be said to have Lady- Gay-Spankered itthrough four acts. But In spite of her gayety and her attempts toaddthe hostier to her many other attainments, she by no means shone with her full lusterin the role, for the simple reason that she felt the fallacy of it throughout. Even ina farce, acting must spring from character, not from mere contrariety. She is a farceur in a clergyman’s home, and the weakness of her badinage and the Impudence of her manner are supposed to be heightened by the place. This criticism applies rather to the part than to the actress. There is scarcely any rolein which Miss Rehan can appear at Daly’s Theater and not be applauded in it. But the fact remains that this favorite is much better in some roles than in others, and I ad- vance the statement that the role of Georgiana Tidman is not one ofthe best that has been given her, Atthe endofamost exquisitely valanced performance, the entire company was called before the curtain, and subse- quently Mr. Daly bimself. NYM CRINKLE. Amusement Notes. The sensational scenes in ‘‘Around the World in Eighty Days’’ arouse enthusiasm inthe audiences at the Standard. There are plenty of pretty girls and rich cos- tumes in ‘‘Evangeline’’ at the Grand and with the gorgeous effects the audiences are de- lighted. Pathos and humor are blended in ‘‘Keppler’s Fortune’’ and Gus Williams manages to keep the patrons of the People’s laughing or crying most of the time. Old Hoss’ new song, ‘‘I remember I for- get,’’ Evans’ electrical nose, the music, danc- ing andfun of ‘‘A Parlor Match’’ are catch- ing the audiences at the Olympic in capital style. There is scarcely a moment of time in the performance of ‘‘Fantasma’’ at Pope's that the house is not entertained by some novelty or brilliant effect in spectacular features, illu- sions or special acts. One of the cleverest members of Gus Will- jams’ company is Mr. Frank Girard,who takes the part of a New York tough in ‘‘Keppler’s Fortune.’’ The partis admirably handied, and Mr. Girard proves himself an artist in de- picting the hoodlum. He gets plenty of ap- plause from the audiences for his work. The transformation of a bouquet into a pict- ure of Mrs. Cleveland will be one of the effects at the performance of the brilliant spectacie, ‘*Last Days of Pompeli’’ to-night. Arrange- ments have beeh made by the Cable road man- agement toruna full complement of horse- cars on their line, and alsotorunthe Narrow Gauge trains from the Olive street depot, so that ample facilities will be given for all who wish to attend on any night.

How the California Magnates Boast of Their Capture of Their Investigators. From the New York Graphic. When Lawyer Cohen of the Pacific Railway presented his bill for $22,000to Messrs. Patti- son, Anderson and Littler last week on behalf of the company he started a sensation of no small proportions. The Graphic published what the shrewd lawyer had said to its re- porter—that the Commissioners had eaten the food, drank the wines, smoked the cigars and siept in the beds of the railway company with- out paying for these things—explanations were decidedly in order, and they seem to have been going on ever since, But there are several interesting incidents connected with the accumulation of this $22,000 account which the Graphic is in position to make public. When the Commission first went to San Francisco the railroad people received them with open arms. They evidently meant to treat the three gentlemen in princely style, aud before they were well settied in their hotel Senator Stanford called and invited them to dinner at bis magnificent country residence to meet the celebrities, male and female, of the Pacific coast. The only one of the Commis- sioners who had a dress suitin his trunk was our own Mr. Anderson, for ex-Governor Patti- son is not a society man, and of course Mr. Littler had never had any use for such habiliments in LIllinols, so they de- clined the invitation. Next morning they called at the offices of the railroad and an- nounced themselves as ready to proceed with the investigation. ‘‘What,’’ said Vice-Presi- dent Potter, ‘‘not going to take a run through the city and along the coast for a few days be- fore beginning?’ : ‘*No,’’ said Mr. Pattison. ‘‘Weare here for work, and have no time to spare if we expect to get our report ready for December.’’ And the taking of testimony began. When they were pretty well on with their work another attempt was made to geton the favorable side of the Commission. One of the fashionable clubs ave a special ‘‘lay out’’ one evening in their honor. Gov. Pattison and Mr. Anderson at- tended, and between the chestnuts and the wine the railway magnates there in full force frankly started the question as to what kind ofareport the Commissioners would present to Congress. Mr. Pattison did his utmost to escape from the company without being posi- tively rude, but was obliged at last to give open expression to the opinion that what he and Mr. Anderson had attended as a social reception had been evidently planned to capt- ure the Comm ssion, or at least to embarras® it in the discharge of its duties. They had half ad n similar invitations afterwards, but decliffed them. The Commission had been proof against the wiles of the club men, the State officials and United States Senators in California, but they justthrew up their hands and surrendered when they saw the preparations which shrewd old Charlies Crocter had madefor their com- fort and entertainment ontheir jaunts along the branches of the road—parlior car, a sleep- ing coach, a dining-room car, a cook and as- sistants who bad reputations to keep up, anda stock of supplies that would tickle the palate of an old-time epicurean. ‘‘] want you to consider yourselves my guests,’’ said Mr. Crocker, ‘‘and Iwill try and show youthat good wines are not all in the East; that champion cooks are obtainable here, and thatthe cigars on the Pacific coast are better than Llinois stogies or New York two for fives.’’ ‘‘Weaure obliged to you,’’ was Gov. Patti- son’s reply. ‘‘But as for myself, I never drink wine, and the other gentiemen would proba- bly prefer that each one pay for what he drinke, thus treating the railway company on these trips exactly as we do the hotels at which we stop.’’ Mr. Crocker sald nothing and the train started. The first dinner they had on the dining-car settled the fate of the Commission as far as the enjoyment of that trip was con- cerned—it was evident they were to havea journey not soon to be forgotten. When the sixth course was laid on the table by the silent, light-footed waiters the ample- stomached Commissioner from Illinois looked across the table at the ex-Governor and mur- mured between his sips of Sauterne: ‘*Pattison, how long do you think this trip is going to last?’’ The Pennsylvania statesman smiled se- renely as he answered thatit had begun very ——_ at least. As thecoffee and the randy and the cigars were brought in all memory of the desire to pay for the luxuries of the trip faded out, and inthe soothing sur- roundings prepared for them by Mr. Crocker the good Commissiouers finished their trip. It was nothing but a delightful reminiscence of their jaunt along the Pacific coast,one of the dreamy episodes between dry examinations, and they had Inspected the road and the coun- try and done their duty, and altogether had a delightful time. But that Cohen bill has wiped out all the pieasant memories of that well-kept dining- car, its sixteen brands of wine and its liquors and luxuries that have made Commissioner Littler a dyspeptic ever since. ” ‘*Do we want any proof?’’ said the Califor- nia lawyer. ‘‘Well, look there. Who everin Pennsylvania saw Gov. Pattison smoke a cigar before? Hecontracted the habit on our special train along the coast, and it was our cigars that taught him that dissipation, and weare going to have pay for these cigars, those wines and other things: or if we don’t we will bring suit, andI cun promise that the testimony furnished on our side will be more interesting reading than the old chestnuts evoked by the investigation of our roads.’’ Itis said this morning that the Commission- ers have determined to divide the charges of the company and pay them outof their indi- vidual pockets.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 6.—The National Farmers’ Alliance ciosed its annual session here last night, and adjourned to meet next year in Des Moines. The _ following officers were elected: President, J. Burrows of Nebraska; Vice-President, ex-Senator L. D. Whiting of Illinois; Secretary, August Post of Iowa; Treasurer, J. J. Furlong of Minnesota; Lecturer, A. D. Chase of Dakota. J. Burrows, the new President, is 55 years of age. He was born in Western New York and is an old soldier. Gen. T. H. Barrat, President of the Minne- sota Alliance, presented « long address, which was adopted as the sentiment of the Alliance. It was devoted chiefly to denunciation of the ee railway system as producing monopo- istic power to the detriment of the peorle. Kegarding the interstate law, itsays: ‘‘Ifthe luw proves defective make it eflicient—in no case let it be repealed. Take no step backward, either in State or na- tional legislation. Government must con- trol railways as far as such control is necessary to protect the people. It ought to go no further. Dividends upon watered stockarea continuous andacontinued fraud upon the public which no lapse of time can condone. Every actof every public rallway corporation should be open to publicscrutiny. If honestly conducted no private interest can be injured, and if dishonestly managed the public bas aright to knowit. Every expendi ture, including salaries paid to railway offi- cials, are proper objects for public considera- tion; the public will be reasonable; the people pay the bilis—they have a right to know where the money goes. Raiiway property must be taxed as other préperty is taxed. it should pay its just share of State, county, school and all other local taxes. There must be freedom of traffic throughout the country. It is not the business of a cor- poration to direct the course of trafic in- trusted to as common carriers; it is its bustl- ness to transportit in such direction as the shipper may direct at reasonable rates and for allalike. Facilities at the lowest reason- able cost for interchange of traffic between intersecting or contiguous roads must be provided. Car load lots should be transferred without unloading.’’ CoLt. W.
