TATEST EDITION A GREAT CAUCUS. FOUR THOUSAND LIBERAL DELEGATES TO THE NOTTINGHAM CONFERENCE. Twenty-Four Thousand Applications for the Meeting Which Gladstone Addresses— The Sullivan Trial—A New Fiscal De- parture—Dismissal of a French Consul in Greece for Attentivuns to an Orleans Princess—A British Victoryin Burmah— Foreign News. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch, LONDON, October 7.—There will be about 4,000 delegates at the great Nottingham caucus, representative of every Liberal association in the United Kingdom. Twenty-four thousand applications for tickets have been received for the meeting,which Gladstone addresses. The Conference will probably propose a single res- olution on the Irish question, and will then proceed to discuss the land reform, local gov- ernment, titles and registration bills. THE SULLIVAN TRIAL. The Unionist press is bitterly grieved at the failure of the Sullivantrial. The Standard in- veighs against the gross stupidity of the offi- cials. The Times thinks the flasco is serious enough to warrant Balfour’s instant return to Ireland. Lord Ashbourne, who is practically responsible now for the government of Ire- land, is a muddler and not strong enough for the post. With a weak Lord Lieutenant ‘and an inexperienced and rash Irish Secretary, constant rebuffs of this kind may be expected. A NEW FISCAL DEPARTURE. Iam told the Tory leaders meditate a new fiscal departure. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, once a free trader of free traders, is said to have modified his financial pro- gramme, just as he has modified every one of his principles, out of existence. The free traders, therefore, expect an announcement of some slight revision of Peel’s and Glad- stone’s fiscal system. The cry for counter- vailing duties has made great progress in East London, and may lose the Liberals an election or two. . HUGHES- HALLETT. Col. Hughes-Haliet has withdrawn from his clubs and is going abroad. He will certainly have to resign his seat. The Tory journals have ceased to support him and the clergy are signing memorials against him. oso —— —-—____. Ireland. THE SULLIVAN CASE. DUBLIN, October 7.—The Express (Conserva- tive) states that the magistrate who heard and dismissed the case of the Government against Lord Mayor Sullivan for publishing in the Nation reports of meetings of suppressed branches of the National League was face- tious in his interpretation of thelaw. The paper deprecates yesterday’s proceedings and characterizes the result as a flasco. The Freeman’s Journal prophesies a similar result for all future attempts of the Govern- ment to prevent the publication of reports of the National League. —~ Germany. A CHANCE FORALL. ° BERLIN, October 7.—The Nautical Society of Hamburg has offered a prize of 500 marks for the best essay onthe subject of calming the sea by the use of oil. An exhaustive descrip- tion of experiments of the effect of oil, made up tothe, present time, is required; also a criti- cism of the arrangements used so far, and es- pecially-complete directions by for its use by large steamers and sailing vessels, as well as small vessels, pilot, fishing and life-saving boats, besides directions for the use of oil at sea and near the coast. Theessays are to be written in English or German and sent before November 1, 1887, to the President of the Nautical Society and Director of the Naviga- tion School, Capt. F. E. Matthiesen, Ham- burg. Competition Is not limited by nation- ality. Greece, A FRENCH CONSUL DISMISSED. PARIS, October 7.—M. Maudet, the French Consul at Laurium, has been dismissed on account of attentions paid by him to an Or- leans Princess, while the latter was making a tour of Greece. ee — Burmah. DACOITS DISPERSED. LONDON, October 7.—Advices from Rangoon say that British troops have surprised Boh- shwey’s chief camp, killed Bohshwey himself, and completely dispersed the Dacoits. The Dominion. THE ASTRONOMICAL SURVEY. OTTAWA, Ontario, October 7.—The Dominion astronomical survey will be concluded shortly. The party has reached Port Arthur, and al] that remains is to make experiments by tele- graph with the Montreal or Cambridge (Mass. ) Observatories. Work was commenced at Victoria, British Columbia, on data obtained from the American Observatory on the Pacific Coast. The results achieved are numerous, including the location of the principal merid- jan in the Northwest, as weil asthe discovery of several errors in the Northwest surveys. : THE FISHERY CRUISERS. Only four cruisers will continuein the fish- eries protection service after the 10th inst., the rest being withdrawn from commission for the remainder of the season. So far little orno complaint of the manner in which the service is performed has been made by the United States authorities. GUARDING AGAINST CHOLERA, Owing to the prevalence of Asiatic cholera in Europe an orderto the Council has been passed prohibiting the importation of rags from Mediterranean ports. ILLEGAL 8EALING, The Dominion Government has been ap- prised of the decision of Judge Dawson of Sitka, in regard to the steamers seized this year.

Heary Suits Against the Hudson Bay Rall- road Company. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsratTcn. OTTAWA, October 7.—A dispatch received here yeeterday by the Government from Win.- nipeg, says that the Hudson Bay Railroad Company is getting in a bad way and will likely collapse. Haifa dozen suits of the same mature Dave been entered agaiuss the com- — ee atte »* —_- pany. The last bill filed ig on behalfof Mann & Holt, contractors, who built the forty miles completed last year. Thebill sets forth that the plaintiffs signed a contract last October to build forty miles of Poad at $11,000 per mile and that $184,000 is due them, and they hold first preference bonds to the amount of $400,000 as security. They elaim the road and pray for an injunction. At the outset several unsuccessful attempts were made by the projectors of the road which was to form part of the great scheme by which the products of the Northwest were to be trans- ported to Europe, via Hudson’s Bay and the Straits to float their projeet, which it now ap- pears has assumed the form of a bubble likely to burst at any time. The Dominion govern- ment officials, although they rendered some assistance to quiet speculative politicians, rt aia looked on the scheme as imprac- cable. GOT IT SURE. Formal Transfer of the B. & O. Telegraph to the Western Union. NEW YORK, October 7.—Mr. Robert Garrett returned from Europe by the steamship Ems this morning. When spoken to in connection with the sale ofthe Baltimore & Ohio Tele- graph lines, Mr. Garrett did not seem to be at all surprised that the safe had taken place, but would say nothing on the subject, except that as he had not yet seen Mr. Gould he was not prepared to speak. Dr. Norvin Green did not want to see re- porters to-day, and Jay Gould was too busy with meetings to talk. Mr. Somerville, the Press Agentof the Western Union, said the particulars of the Baltimore & Ohio purchase were, he understuod, substantially as pub- lished. Details had notyet been arranged, but the property was now operated for account of the Western Union and asa part of its sys- tem. ‘*The purchase gives us éontrol of the lines over the five great trunk Ifmes. There will be no great advance in rates, Some rates have been ridiculously low. In some cases the Baltimore & Ohio has transferred business for 10 cents when it cost 11 cents for outside serv- ice, Its policy seemed to be to injure Western Union rather than to make business for itself. Such rates as these will, of course, be increased. Where one office can do the business for a city the Balti- more & Ohio office will be closed. All these matters, however, willtake time to arrange, and itis not possible to at once give the de- tails.’’ RATIFIED. The Board of Directors of the Western Union Telegraph Company have oOflicially ratified the contract for the purchase of the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph Company’s lines ana the com- pany has taken formal possession. Mr. Gar- rett has given his approval of the legal form. REV, JOSEPH PARKER. The Eloquent London Preacher’s Lecture at Chickering Hall. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, October 7.—The Rev. Dr. Joseph Parker of the City Temple, London, took the lecture stage lust night at Chickering Hall, with a ‘‘dramatig parable’’ called ‘*‘Job’s Comforters.’’ ‘‘Sympathy from Scilence’’ was the sub-title of the monologue, and the piece was really a set of dialogues between an imaginary nineteenth century Job and three modern men of science, more or less ingen- iously veiled under the stage hames of Stuart, the Millite; Huxley, the Moleculite, and Tyndall, the Saducee. Two more personages made their appearance toward the end, a game-keeper and his daughter. The lesson of the parableig the impotency of modern science to comfort sorrow or console grief. John B. Gough, he gaid, had given him some advice about the sort of lecture the peo- ple in America would expeet. No matter how witty, how eloquent, “polished, how felicitous aspeaker was, the. great temper- ance orator had said he could net hope for lasting success in America unless he was ani- mated bya profound moral purpose—a most delicate tribute, Dr. Parker thought, to toe intelligence and moral fibre of the people of the United States. With this idea in his mind, he had written his ‘‘dramatic parable,’’ on the proper limitation of science to the field of knowledge, and its ly proper exclusion from field of sympathy and sentiment. Job's afflictions in the new parable, were much the same as iu the old one, and the lan- guage in which he puts his troubles to the three comforters of modern science isin great part the familiar text of the King James’ ver- sion. The three philosophers can only tell him that the law of nature isa hard one; that his goods and his family have gone the way of the chemical economy of the universe. Dr. Parker’s monologue was about forty minutes in length. Hie said= in an epilogue that he could . not expect to please the flippant; it was for the suber and thoughtful only, at which there was some applause. M’GLYNN’S EXCOMMUNICATION, Bishop Moore of Florida Requests That the Case Be Reopened. By Telegraph tothe Post-DIsSPAtcH. 7.—It became known yesterday that Bishop John Moore of St Augustine, Fla., had sent another applica- tion tothe Pope to have the cuse of Dr. Mc- Glynn reopened. When Cardinal Gibbons was in Rome, hereceived from Dr. Burtsell, Dr. MceGlynn’s counsel, adefense of Dr. Mec- Glynn’s course. It was addressed, not tothe Prefect of the Propaganda, as it should have been if it wasintended as a formal defense, but it wasin the shape of a letter to Cardinal Gibbons. He therefore did not hand the letter to the Propaganda, but communicated ite contents to Cardinal Simeonl as a document in the case. Cardinal Gibbons was in no way authorized to act as an intermediary in the case between Dr. McGlynn and his archbishop, and scrupu- lously avoided interfering. He was surprised when the so-called ‘‘defense’’ arrived, ad- dressed to him, and was annoyed when a few days later he received a cable from Bishop Moore, asking the Cardinal to request the Propaganda to suspend sentence until the defense could be forwarded to the proper au- thorities in Rome. The conduct of Bishop Moore was open toa construction of discourtesy to Arcwvbishop Corrigan, and of interference by the bishop in an matter outside of his jurisdiction. Rut Bishop Moore has all along insisted that the Propaganda should reopenthe case, and yes- terday forwarded a second request to Rome asking that Dr. McGlynn’s counsel be heard with a view to annullimg the sentence of ex- communication, Catholic authorities here were of the opinion that his efforts would be fruitless, inasmuch as Dr. McGlynn had re- fused to obey the mandate calling hiin to Rome. NEW YORK, October ee re eee —_ — — WILL OUST HIM, A Combination to Force Sully Out of the Richmond Terminal, NEW YORK, October 7.—The Sun states that a powerful combination has been formed to unseat Alfred Sully asa director of Richmond Terminal. William Rockefeller or William P. Clyde will succeed him. The first gun inthe fight will be fred to-day. The chief cause of complaint against Mr. Sully is that his specu- lative ventures, not only tn Richmond Ter- minal butin the general stock market, have been disadvantageous to the welfare of the company with which his name has been so intimately associated. ——_ Fortescue In a Fix. Mr. George K. Fortescue of the ‘‘Evange- line’’ Company is in a predicament. Last night his wardrobe was attached at the Opera- house by a constable from Justice Kane's court fora debtof $50 due ona note tothe Forbes Lithographing Company of Boston. He ersuaded the constable to let him go on with iis part, but ” watchuian was put on guard. After the performance a deputy ‘‘shadowed’’ the actor untii he returned to his lodgings in the small hours of the morn- ing. The constable returned atan early hour thia morning and levied on his trunk, carry- ing off that receptacle. Mr. Fortescue agreed to adjust the difference jmmecdiately A CHANCE TO REST. THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY AT THE CAPI- TAL OF WISCONSIN. The Trip From Milwaukee to Madison—A Flying Visit to the Soldiers’ Home—Hur- ried Departure—Ovations at All Railroad Stations—In the Hill and Lake Country— Chief-Justice Cole’s Address of Welcome ~—The President’s Response—Life on the Rail, MILWAUKEE, Wis., October 7.—The day opened bright and beautiful, after a reguiar down pour of rain during the night, and everything tended to make the few remaining hours of the President’s stay in Milwaukee of amost pleasant nature. At about 8:30 a. m., the carriages containing the Presidential party and the Reception Committee left the Plank- ington House, and proceeded tothe Soldiers Home by way of Grand avenue and the Blue Mound road. The sides of the avenue were lined with people who doffed their hats and waved handkerchiefs, while an occasional cheer broke forth as some enthusiastic individual caught sight of his political chief and imparted his enthusiasin to those around. When the cavalcade arrived at the Soldiers’ Home, the maimed veterans were drawn inline and saluted the President and wife asthey drove down the line and through the grounds, the cannon on the green sward infront of the home building mean- while booming forth the Presidential salute. The time left before the departure of the train was sobrief thatnostop was made and the carringes drove very rapidly through the south side of the city and up intothe residence por- tion of the Seventh Ward to the Lake Park, where the handsome drive-way leads down to the Northwestern Depot. A GOOD SEND-OFP. A large crowd had congregated about the decorated pavilion on the platform for fully anhour before the distinguished party ar- rived, and when the President ’s carriage came into view it was greeted with a round of cheers which continued until the train left the depot. The appearance of Mrs. Cleveland on the plat- form was the signal for an especial outburst of enthusiasm from the ladies, who waved their handkerchiefs and parasols in accompaniment to thecheering. Mrs. Cleveland looks bright and fresh, notwithstanding the contin- ual round of receptions and levees which she has undergone, and smiled sweetly as she accompanied her husband tothecar. Col. Vilas was also the recipient ofa burst of applause as he stepped out of his curriage and vunished into the Presidential car. The train pulled ont of the depot at 10:30, nearly half an hour later than was in- tended. No stops are to be made between here and Madison, butthe train will slow up at the larger stations in order to give the peo- ple a chance to see the President and his wife, No accident or any other disagreeable feat- ure has interfered to mar the President’s pleasure in this city, and the entire party were highly delighted with their treatment and admirable arrangements which charac- terized their reception and entertainment. > ———— AT MADISON, Arrival of the Presidential Party—Life on the Rail. MADISON, Wis., October 7.—The President’s train left Milwaukee, according to the illuml- nated special time schedule, haif an hour late. The town has 200,000 inhabitants, covers un area of forty-two square miles, and there seemed to be a wish on the part of the authori- ties to show the President every one both of inhabitants and square miles. Hence the delay. ‘*‘Never’’ better was Mrs. Cleveland’s reply to an inquiry regarding her health as she came on board; and the Presi- dent, who seems to be made of iron, respond- ed for himself with equal heartiness. Both brought away the impression that Milwaukee is a very orderly town, and they are agreed that the demonstration throughout was exceedingly well-managed, every contingency having been foreseen and provided for. Lifeonthe special train has now settied into atiomelike routine, deliciously restful, after the round of surprises and ex- citements at the city stopping places. The rumble of the wheels, the gentle swaying of the cars, the flying panorama of forest, fleld and hamlet—even the saluting toot and hubbub of passing trains bave come to be, for the travelers, among the normal con- ditions of life, while the descents to terra firma and the hotel experiences are its pass- ing episodes.” Though Mrs. Cleveland rarely gets time to enter any car but herown an im- pression has been madeupon the mind of each person on board that she feels a personal in- terest in all, and the President humorously complains that her wishes are heeded, where his own would be disregarded. THE TRAIN ATTENDANTS, The corps of Pullman attendants from To- bias, the chef who invents marvel- ous dishes and still more profound mysteries up to Arthur, the steward, who invents names for them, are Princes in disguise, whose attentions would be rather appall- ing were they not s0 uniformly unos- tentatious in demeanor, performing their services as if thay were matters of course, and not things to be paid for. Arthur Wells, the steward, is Mr.Pullman’s personal attend- ant and the custodian of his private car wherever it moves. Tobias is the favorite chef of General Manager Thompson of the Pennsylvania Railroad. The other attendants are the cream of the Pullman ser- vice, having, without exception, had years of training under the most favorable conditions. It is a matter of constant wonder how wraps, valises, books and the smaller nick-nacks of a traveling party, which are never in sight when they ought to be, turn up in their places when wanted; and even how things forgotton, iett behind, and supposed to be lost, make their way back to their owners. The run to Madison was charm- ing. It was through a lake and £ 04hill country, Whose lands are as fertile as those of Italy. The. villagers along the way sped the passing train with their cheers, and in several instances stations and streets were adorned with evergreens and streamers. The arrival at Madison was made upon time. THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH. The following is the President's reply to the address of Judge Cole, Chief Justice of Wisconsin: ‘‘After a week spent in travel and visiting the people of the great West, we have come toresta while at the capital of Wisconsin, known as the most beautiful in location and seenery of the cities of this region, We have come to sve your Jakes and the other features . of beauty that give you the reputa- tion so well deserved. You are not to understand that we need and desire rest so mych that wedo not care to see the good people of Madison, for that would be a mis- take, Though we Bee them at their home for the first time, they are notunknowntous. Weknew youatthe seat of the National Government through your fel- low-townsinan who has done honor to his home and to his neighbors by a most successful and conscientious performance of important public duty and who has received the re- spect and esteem of every citizen who de- sires the welfare of his country. 80 our desire to actually see you and to know you betteris perfectly natural. It seemed to me when I planned the trip which we have undertaken that Madison would be a proper place at which to make our first stop forrest. I have always observed that when a man wants to do something of this kind he can quite readily find awayto justifyit. So, when I conceived the idea of staving at Madison over Sunday, and testing the kindness of her citi. zens and the hospitality of the Postmaster General, All I had to do was to imagine that we would be VERY MUCH FATIGUED when we reached here and in need of the rest! was determined we should have. Thus we are here, and tired enough to justify my pians. I aim already satisied that all descriptions of your city with which I have been favored have falled to give me an adequate idea of Me beauty, of its broad aad pleasans streets, and of its fine public and private buildings. I am already prepared to venture the assertion, based upon very slight observa- tion that tnis is the home of kind, hearty and hospitable people. The influence upon & community of such a university as has its seat here, the alma mater of hundreds of edu- cated and useful men scattterea throughout our entire western country is greater than is at first glance appreciated. It fosters a cer- tain refinement ahd cultivation which radiate toall the homes within its sphere, vastly enhancing their value as nurseries of steady and intelligent citizenship. I expect to heartily enjoy my stay here and to always hereafter cherish pleasing recollections of your city and its inhabitants.’’ ——_ MASHED IN CARS. How the Capacity of Scullin’s Dust-Mills Is Increased—Indignation on the Line. Some of the local ,street-car lines, particu- larly those on Pine street, have been managed with an eye to the greatest profits on the least expenditure during the past two weeks. It has seemed to patrons of Scullin’s lines that the crowding-up process had been reduced to a science on these lines, and the results ob- tained every evening could not be surpassed by the managers themselves or any other streetgear companies. Inthat belief the pa- trons were mistaken for, notwithstanding the car seryice has not been increased during the festivities, each car has carried a greater max- imum number of passengers than was ever before obtained. On Veiled Prophet’s night, a blue open car, No.66, double piatform drawn by two horses and having reversible seats, carried 108 passengers from the corner of Fourth and Pine streets to various distributing points along the line. The average crowd on that car is forty, and workingmen complain of the jam when the number is increased to 50. The car is about five feet shorter than the open cars on the Fourth street and Chou- teau avenue line, and the latter are densely packed when carrying sixty passengers. The capacity of cars of the No. 66 type was in- creased by a kind of sandwiching process. Instead of having all the seats turned the same way the back of seat No. 2 was turned in the opposite way. This left a space ten inches wide between the backs of seats No. land No. 2in which passengers could stand. By crowd- ing closely together eight average peopie could be gotten in this space and from ten to twelve smallthin men. The persons occupy- ing seats No. 2and 3 were allowed a common space 124g inches wide in which to dispose of theirlegs. Whentwo men were thus placed vis-a-vis they could make themselves easy by sandwiching their knees. It was otherwise when men and women faced each other. The same reversing process was employed at the otherend of the car, thereby increasing its capacity from sixteen to twenty-four persons over the number which it is ordinarily posst- ble tocarry. This plan is still in force on the biue line and yellow cars to the great discom- fort of patrons, A driver this morning gave the passengers near him some figures regarding the crowds that had been carried during the week. ‘‘One of those open yellow cars with fixed seats, carried the night of the Hendricks parade, 140 passengers, only thirty-six having seats. A bob-tailed white car built to seat twenty and carry thirty, all told, carried the night of the Veiled Prophets’ procession, sev- enty-four passengers. The open bob-tails from the Jefferson avenue line were brought down for service on the Mound City line. They were intended to carry thirty on a ush and averaged sixty passengers. here has not been a car on the four Pine street lines that has earned less than $2 a round trip duringthe two weeks. The blue and vellow line have averaged be- tween $3.75 and $4 per round trip. The men have been talking about the way the lines have been making money, and if they had any organization the feeling there is among them would make them receive a proposition to strike unanimously. During this crowded season they have been working from one to five hours extra every day without a cent extra a 5 W inother ear-driver was asked if there was any probability that a strike would be inaugurated. ‘‘Not on our line,’’ he said. ‘*Men never take a job on the Scullin -lines when they, can get work at anything else. They coms here because they have to, and go as soon as they can. They never had an organization of car-drivers and conductors in St. Louis that contained half of the men em- loyed, and now there is no organization.’’ The public have been waiting a long time to strike, but as Scullin’s lines are the only cars running into the southwest territory, they are forced to patronize them. DUE TO DESPONDENCY. Mrs. John Andrews of Kansas City Commits Suicide at Midnight. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH KANSAS CITY, Mo., October 7.—Mra. John Andrews, the wife of a rich Kansas City livery man, committed suicide at midnight last night by hanging herself from a rafter in an outhouse in the rear of the family residence, 1514 Locust street. Mrs. Andrews has been subject to fits of despondency for the last year and a half, caused by Illness, and has frequently threatened to take her life. Close watch has been kept on her actions, however, and up to this time she has been unable to accomplish her pur- pose. She passed the early part of last even- ing in reading the daily papers and the family did not notice anything pecullar tn her actions. The household retired at 9 o'clock, and a little after midnight Mr. Andrews awoke and missed his wife from his side. He at once instituted a search, and found her in an outhouse suspended from a rafter witha clothes line about her neck. She had risen from her couch, put on her dress, and hung herself. She leaves three children. She left nothing bebind which would tndicate her motive, and it issupposed she was attacked by one of her fits of insanity. FAILURES. A Banking Firm’s Assigoment—Forced to the Wall. Troy, N. Y., October 7.—Ogden, Calder & Co., bankers and brokers, made an aassign- ment at 9:30 o'clock this morning. The as- signee is Fred P. Allen of this city. The amount involved is not yet known, but is belleved to be upwards of $500,000. The as- signment provides for the payment of all just and reasonable costs, salaries of employes, payment in full of depositors inthe savings department, and all other debts as far as possible. Going Down Hill. CHICAGO TIill., October 7.—Stafford & Mur- phy, liverymen and street cortractors, made an assignment this morning. Liabilities, $40,- 000; assets, nominally $50,000. The firm re- cently lost their grip onthe city contract for cleaning the streets, and have since been go- ing down hill. WASHINGTON NEWS, Secretary Fairchild Requests Custom Off- cilals to Be Economical. WASHINGroN, D. C., October 7.—Secretary Fairchild has issued a circular letter to cus- toms officers in which he says: ‘‘The con- dition of the appropriation for defraying the expenses of collecting the revenue from cus- tomns demands that the business of the several customs collection districts be transacted with the strictest regard to economy.

The Anti-Administration Element Anxious to Oust Turner and Lichtman—Powd ly’s Addross—The General Secretary’s An- nual Report—Condition of the Order— Buchanan’s Rejection—Miners’ Strike. swore es MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 7.—J. P. Mo- Gaughey, Secretary of the Co-operative Board of Knights of Labor, said this wmorn- ing that the result of the vote is the case of James R. Buchanan, No. 89 of Denver, as given by the latter was the rejected delegate from District Assembly false, and that the vote was unanimous against Buchanan. The effect of Powderly’s address yesterday has been generally good and it is thought he will gain friends by the sentiments expressed, although they wer@ somewhat antiquated. His expressions with regard to his alleged connection with Social- ism and Anarchism were very well received, and have won much comment in his favor. It is learned that the report that a big fight would be made in the convention over the new constitution is not wholly without founda- tion. In fact, the talk is quite general among the delegates to the effect that such @ fight is quite likely to come up in the convention and that the constitution will be bitterly opposed by the ‘‘antis,’’ What aeons they will be able to develop if the matter is brought up and reaches a vote is not kaown. A prominent Eastern Knight of Labor express the opinion that the di faction over this matter is very much stronger than the administration men have any ! of. The‘‘antis’’ would have to poll a two- thirds vote to win. The oe 3 on point of opposition among the ‘‘antis’’ seems to be that they do not like the idea of the general ofticers holding office for a two-years term. They also make theciaim that at least two of the present general officers—Secretary Licht- man and Treasurer Turner—are wholly incom- petent. Whether they nave any facts in to the general officers named in support of theirassertion is not known. The administra- tion delegates, asked in regard to the matter, state emphatically that the charges of incom- etency made against them (Turner and ichtman) are entirely without foundation in fact. They say that two better men for the positions named could not be found In the organization. It is quite evident that the two factions in the convention fear each other. The fact that ae secret caucuses are held ee goes a long way to sustaining this e ef, LITCHMAN’S REPORT. General Secretary Litchman presented his moport to-day. It was very voluminous. The following is a short synopsis: The number of members reported in good oes at the last session of the General Assembly was 702,924, and the number of members in arrears, 26,753. This made the apparent membership of the order, as then reported, 729.677. The tremendous growth in the early part of 1886 will be remembered. People came into the order by the hundred thousands, so thata suspension of initiations for forty days was ordered. After the forty days had expired the rush again com- menced, and the result was to bring to the organization amass of material that proved itself to be a weakness rather than a strength. For the six months following the ses- sion of the General Assembly at Richmond, the papers of the country have been filled con- tinually with assauits upon the order, upon the general officers, and everything pos- sible done to disintegrate and destroy the order. Yetin spite ofall this opposition the total number of members re in standing July 1, is, round nu 485,000. Add to this the nearly 50,000 who areinthe same relation to the order as were the 26,753, reported as in arrears, upon the last report, and we would have the membership of the order 535,000 July 1, 1 crease of about 195,000 members. RECEIPTS. The receipts for the fiscal year ending Ju 1, are shown to be $388,731, giving wi balance on hand a grand total of $508,- 647. Consideration of the question of establish- ing aco-operating savings association was recommended, alsothat State Assemblies be made compulsory instead of permissive. THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS. The General Assembly at Richmond, after adopting certain amendments to the constitu- tion, referred the balance of the report to the Committee on Law, together witn such other changes as had been presented to the General Assembly, to a special committee of revision. It was ordered that this committce, in conjunction with the General Executive Board, should prepare a revision of the con- stitution and submit the same to a vote of the local assemblies of the order. The result of the deliberations of this Committee Revision was subinitted to the local assemblies as provided under the vote under which the committee was appointed. The assemblies were requested to vote upon the constitu- tion proper as the first proposition, and upon the article relating to national trade assem- blies, as the second proposition. The returns from the local assemblies showed that 2,363 local assemblies voted on the first roposition, and 1,006 voted no; that 2,363 ocal assemblies voted yes on the second proposition, and 962 no. Secretary Lichtman, in concluding, sald his office had been anything buta bed of roses and that enemies among the order had perse- cuted bim. Coal Miners’ Strike. BLOOMINGTON, Iil., October 7. —The coal miners of McLean County held a meeting last night and decided to go on a strike this morn- ing. Thisis brought about by the discharge of three officers of the Miners’ Federation. — THE STATE CAPITAL. - An Important Opinion by State Superin. tendent Coleman Regarding Taxes. Ry Telegraph to the Post-Disrarcn JEFFERSON CIty, Mo., October 7.—S®tate Su- perintendent Coleman rendered an importants opinion in reply to a letter from the Board of Education of this city. The facts are about as follows: County Clerk Gremshaw recently pre- sented an account of $0 for copying and extending the schoo! taxes of this district In the county school tax book of the presens ear. Although the Board had been paying or similar services In previous years, it was, however, thought advisable to obtain the State Superintendent's official opinion as te the liability of the special school istrict for such services. Superintendent Coleman holds tn his reply that the schoo! district is nos liable, and thatall such services should be paid by the County Treasurer, upon an order of the County Court. In this respect he holds the law makes no distinction between schools organized for cities and towns and the com- mon schools.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Friday, October C, 1887. | al DISAPPOINTED BRAVES. = CAUSE AND EFFECT OF A MISUNDERSTAND- ING BETWEEN POLITICIANS. The Iroquois Club of Chicago Complains of Shabby Treatment From the St. Louis Hendricks Association—An Escort of Fifty Picked Democrats Declined By Mr. Cleveland — Chicago’s Claim That Its Kepresentatives Were Forakered in St. Louis—What the Local Politicians Really Did for the Ked Men—A EFarcical Cli. | max. The Chicago News bas given publicity to complaints made by members of the Iroquois Club who came toSt. Louis on Tues- Gay morning and returned Tuesday night on a_ special following the Presi- dent's train. The club is composed of the swell element among the Demo- cratic politicians of Chicago, and is considered there as being worthy of all honor. However, in St. Louis they attracted little attention and now complain that having been effusiveiy in- vited to this city they were neglected by the Hendricks Association, which had extended its armstothem. The News says: With visions of princely entertainment dancing before them, the misguided Chica- goans went to St. Louis. Not a member of the alleged Hendricks Club was on hand to receive them; somewhat dismayed, but still smiling, the Chicago confingent, preceded by their own brass band discoursing that soulful air, ‘‘We May Be Happy Yet,’’ marched to the Southern Hotel. Here one man—one lone, lorn individual who confessed that he belonged to the Hendricks Club—made bis appearance, and with exceeding suavity ointed the way to the hotel dining-hail. ‘hen he vanished. That was all that was seen or heard of the alleged Hendricks Club. That lone, lorn Individual pointing the way to the victualing-room constituted the sum of the hospitality which, with such effusiveness, the Hencricks Club had proffered! GRAND-MARSHAL HARRINGTON. Grand Marshal of the Hendricks Assocla- tion, Henry F. Harrington, said with refer- ence to this complaint: ‘‘I an not an officer of the Hendricks Association, but as the marshal of the parade I received numerous letters from clubs advising me that they would be in the city to take partin the parade. I replied that we would be pleased to see them and would try to give them good positions in the line, but we could not undertake to make any arrangements for them as to quarters or meals on accCunt of the large crowds that would bein the city atthattime. I received no communication whatever from the Iroquois Club and did not know it was coming to St. louis. I know of po invitation being ex- tended to it.’’ DAVID ‘W. CARUTH, President of the Hendricks Association, said: **‘We did not invite the club to come to St. Louis, lit came to escort Mr. Cleveland to Chicago; but he declined the escort and they returned on another train. When We knew the club was coming a committee was appointed which consisted of R. D. Lancaster, Robert H. Kern and other entiemen to see if the members could not @taken on the river excursion and get tick- etsfor them to the Veiled Prophet's ball. This committee tried very hard, but did not succeed in either getting excursion or ball tickets forthe club. ‘There were thousands of eople here who were equally disappointed. gave away all the tickets lcould procure to people whoreally oughtto bave them, even giving away my own ticket. I tried hard to get a ticket for the National Democratic Com- rmitteeman from Nebraska, but could not do it. He ought to have had aticket, as we will need his vote when the time comes for deciding where the next National Conven- tion is to be held. But there was no getting the ticket. The Iroquois people have no right to feel sore. Ail that could be done was done, Ilexpect the kick is made by men who are looking around for such opportunities and no attention should ba paid to it.’’ ROBERT H. KERN told the whole story with more detail than Mr. Caruth. ‘‘I have not attended many meetings of the Hendricks Association of late, as I have been away from the city a great deal. But -Thursday § night, a week ago, I think was, I was ata meeting. The parade arrangements were being discussed, and then I think it was Mr. Lancaster’ brought up the matter of the coming of the Iroquois Club on Tuesday. It was. proposed that the Association entertain the club but I said I knew what the members of the club would expect in the way of entertainment, and the Ass»- ciation ought to first consider the expense of such entertainment. The Iroquois Club is composed of menwho have large business interests and who live well. They would expect to be re- ceived, if received at all, In style, taken to their hotel in carriages, etc. The members -of the Hendricks Association con- -cluded they could not entertain the club in any such manner, and a committee was ap- oo. consisting of John H. Overall, Henry Vv. Bond, ©. M. Napton, A. Ww. Coakley, myself § and other members whose names do not now occur to me, to see what could be done. We wrote a letter then to Frank Hoyne, Secretary of the Iroquois Club, part of which 1 dictated. A sentence was put in this letter like this: ‘Please advise us on what train you will come,’ I suggested that they be asked instead to advise us at what hotel we could meet them, as wo did not wish to commit ourselves to a reception at the depot. Their arrival on Tuesday morning was not conventfent tor such a reception, as the boys were tired out On account of the parade Monday night. Besides the Association epent all its -money on that parade. So in this letter all we promised to do Was to try and get tickets for the steamboat excursion and a place to see the V. PF. parade, As they were to be here only one day we could notdo more. I was on asnb-committee to see about getting ‘ tickets for the excursion and went to see George Castieman, who, I understood, had charge of the matter. lie sent me to see the MayorandI went. Mr. Francis sent me back to Castleman with in- structions to say that the matter had Deen left to him. astleman asked me how many there would be in the club delegation. I told himabout fifty. He said it was not possible to get tickets forall of them, but he would send us five tickets, the largest num. ber that could be obtained. I gaid if that was all we could get we would have to be satisfied. On Sunday Mr. Castile- man came tomy honse and said it had been decided to issue tickets to the club for the Veiled Prophet ball. He asked me to wire Chicago and get the names of the members of the delegation. I eent a message that day and On Monday received a reply. I sent Mr. Castleman the list, thirty-five or forty names, and he sent me twenty-three tick” » The Granite Mountain Mining Company re- ceived a telegram to-day announcing the semi- weekly shipment—twenty-three bars of bullion —38,019 oz. silver and 8 oz. gold. This is the first of the semi-weekly shipments. Hereto- fore shipments have been made weekly, but the completion of the railroad to Granite has made it possible to ship twice a week. This shipment is supposed to include a clean-up of miil3. The Granite Mountain has not shipped any smelting orefor sometime, and wili not ship any until the railroad is in perfect opera- tion. * * i. The Dinero mill was completed with all its fittings last week and was started up to test the machinery, which was found to work per- fectly in all its parts, but several moditica- tions were found to be necessary before regu- lar work was practicable. Allthe adjustments have been made now, howevery and the mill was Monday started upon the first regular trial lot. The mill isa modification of the Minnie and A Y and Col. Sellers mills, containing four Hartz jigs and three frue vanners. The ore enters at the top of the mill, where it passes througha crusher, where ali the large lumps are broken, andisthen conveyed automatically, first to the rolls, thencetothe sizing appuratus, and finally to the jigs, the fines passing on tothe vanning machines. The test, so far as deter- mined, bas been very satisfactory, the tailings fromthe machines running only 2.5 ounces, while the headings ran 68 ounces in silver.

FAMOUS. INSULTING CORA SMITH. Robbins Discharged—The Girl’s Story—Another Case. The case of James M. Robbins, charged with disturbing the peace by an alleged insult to Miss Cora Smith of No. 1525 North Seventh street, came upinthe Second District Police Court this morning, and Judge W hite after hearing the evidence discharged Mr. Robbins. Cora Smith, the com- plaining witness, possesses a face and form that would not excite wonder anywhere, and in addition oneof hereyes had a decoration of tne Veiled Prophets’ colors of red, yellow and blue She was accompanied by her father, who was not thought to be aught else than her brother until he announced the parental news. Smith pere wore no collar, was unshaven, but he did possess one of the most stylish suits of bandages on his right fist that was ever brought into the court. Cora was dressed in a suit of undecided gray material of a semi-wooly and fuzzy character, a black straw hat and a black shawl. When her name was called she tripped forward smilingly, patted her damaged eye in a coquettish manner at Judge White, and poured forth the following tale of woe: James Di, ; CORA’S STORY. ‘‘On Wednesday evening at about 9:30 I went to the suloon on the corner for my father, and Isaw this iman standingon the corner. He spoke to me and when I came out he spoke to meagain. I didnotanswer him, and he took hold of myarm. I broke awayand he fol- lowed me. I went in and told my father, and he said for me to go out again, andif the man followed me again he would attend to him. I went out and he again followed me, and while 1 was standing with my father and brother he approached. I said ‘that‘ls the man,’ and my father grabbed him by the lapels of his coat and he dodged away and ran. My brother and father followed him and took him to the sta- tion. That is all I know.’’ Inanswertoa cross-examination she said she had not seen Robbins on Monday and that he had not ac- companied her home. He did not say to her ‘*Hello, Cora,’’ but he did ask her to accom- pany him home. Her father, James M. Smith, next testified that his daughter had made a complaint about being insulted bya man on the street. Iie told her to go out again and he would follow. lie did so, und Robbins came up. ‘*Youare the manlIwant,’’ and made a egrab for him, but he dodged andran. He caught up with him and struck him, receiving the wound on bis hand hidden under the band- ages. He thentook himtothe station. He denied, under cross-examination, that he had grabbed him bythe lapels of his coat, stat- ing that Robbins would not have gotten away. John Jenkins, Smith’s stepson, testified to the foregoing facts in the main, but main- tained that his father had grabbed Robbins by ' | } He said: | ; the coat at first and arrested him; also that he | had participated in the subsequent assault on the prisoner. ROBBINS TALKS. Robbins then took his place on the stand, and stated his case, making the same state- ment as he made to a POST- DISPATCH reporter vesterday. He detailed the story of his first meeting with Cora on Monday evening, his ‘ trip to her house, the meeting there of her sister and brother, and her subsequent appointment for Wednesday cvening. He stated how he had mes®§ her coming from the saioon, andas the ay#pointment was for or before 8:30 p.m. at the house, and subse- quently for the corner, he spoke to her and then waited for her on the corner. He also vave the details of the assault and his subse- quent incarceration in the police station. Judge White cross-examined him closely, and finally dismissed him. Charles hammerman, a young man who was with him, corroborated his story of the pro- ceedings on Monday eveuing, stating that he and another young man followed the couple to No. 1525 North Seventh street, saw them | enter, and Waited for an hour outside for Rob- region | Mrs. Thomas Sullivan is entertaining this | week relatives from Dayton, 0O., who mained over aftertheG.

Mr. Kearney, on reach- ing Chicago, made an immediate effort to Bee the condemned Anarchists, particularly Parsons. The Pacific coast nagi- He went away lamenting and telling how four years ago he had advised Parsons to leave bombs alone and take to baliots, or he would surely But Parsons only laughed. Kearney says that on reaching New York he will make a series of speeches, taking the ground thatthe question of questions tor the workingmen at this time is not the far- off issue of land taxation, but shall the labor- people concentrate every effort upon passing a law through the very next session of | Congress, making the exclusion of Chinese | from the country absolute. He will urge thatthe hands of the Democrats be strengthened, their representatives at present being the strongest anti-Chinese advocates. It will be an Am- measureably greater victory, he thinks, for | the workingmen pow to help pass the Mitcheil _ anti-Chinese bill when Congress assembies than for a side issue to weaken the Democracy and indirectly strengthen their Republican op- ponents. After leaving New York Mr. Kear- ney proposes to renew anti-Chinese agitation in the principal cities of Canada.

NOLAN AND RYAN INVITED TO JOIN THE HOUSE OF DELE- GATES “COMBINE.” Another Effortto Be Made to Get a Work. ing Majority ‘to Dispose of the Rich Legislation of the Coming Session—A Protest Against the Olive Street Cable at Ware Avenue—New Buildings—Municipal Matters. Since the rennion of the members of the | House of Delegates at the special session on They are located | Wednesday, the leaders of the ‘‘combine’’ have been busy In a united effort to perfect their organization. Delegate Hilgeman is stilltaken up with the scheme for break- ing up the present organization of the House. Delegates Nolan and Ryan have been requested to come into the little revolutionary party. The leaders now count on fifteen members. The hist as figured on to-day is as follows: Weinel, Gundlach, Weisenburger, Kretschmar Hilgeman, Waters, Lehman, Alt, Poblman and Huber. Delegate Hays may be surprised to know that he is counted among the mal- contents of both parties to assist in the work of upsetting the House at the beginning of the November session. Delegate Keenan, who has been sick and confined to bis home since the organization of the House in April, is re- covering and is already counted on by the combine managers for one vote. Dele- gate Lynam of the Tenth Ward is expected to join forthe purpose of getting Clerk Bar- rett’s scalp, because Barrett secured a place at the City Hall for a man who opposed Lynam’s election, If he joins on this understanding he will proba- bly be left, as Delegate Waters will resist any interference with Barrett. Nolan will not join against Speaker Bannerman, as he has received a place on the _ Kail- road Committee at annerman’s hands. Ryan is intimately’ related to Mayor through opportunities made in the Water Department on his account. If Ryan joins the combine the result will prob- ably be that several vacancies will be made in the departments where Ryan is represented by relatives and supporters. The ‘‘combine’’ holds out no inducements except that the clique will be abie to control the legislation of the next 8e8- sion. One of Hilgeman’s pet schemes a friend of his own as cierk, vice Barrett. A meeting of the ‘‘com- bine’’ members will probably be held in a few days to discuas plans for gettin; a solid delegation in the House. This would give the fifteen members in the House of Del- egates the power to gill any bill offered in the Municipal Assembly. It was supposed thatthe attempt to form the combination was entirely abandoned when Delegate Huber’s brother was let out of the Water Department and Tom Wand took fright at the determined action of the Mayor, but the nucleus of the ‘‘combine’’ still remains, and at a meeting to be held early next week an- other effort will be made to get a working majority together. A number of im- portant bills will be presented to the Assein- bly next month, and the Delegates who were leit off ofthe good committees are anxious to have the order changed before the bilis go through. Protesting Against the Change. At this rather late date notice has been served on the Mayor that objection will be made to laying a second cable track on Olive street between Ware and Grand ave- nues. The company, at the suggestion of the city official, agreed to give up tuat por- tion of Lindell avenue so as to allow the boule- vard to extend down to Thirty-fourth street. Another important consideration was that the transfer of the Lindell avenue track to Olive street would relieve Grand avenue of its connecting track and improve the street for use after the Grand avenue bridge is com- pleted. Someof the residents and business people on the street now announce that a sec- ond track will crowd the _ street too much. The company does not wish to interfere with travel east of Tweifth street during the Exposition and as they technicaily give up their Lindell avenue rights on beginning the work on Olive street, they areinaquandary. The road has a large force of men Dut is unable to start them until some definite conciusion is arrived at con- cerning the prosecutiou of the work on Olive, near Grand avenue. Deaths During September. The mortality report for September, com- piled to-day, shows that during the month 804 deaths occurred in the city, 19 less than in the month of August. Diphtheria was the assigned cause in 135 cases, Inmembranous croup in twenty two and whooping-cough in one case. Six suicides, six homicides and thirty fatal accidents were reported. Within the same period of time 906 births were reported. New Buildings. To-day several small building permits were issued by the Commissioner of Public Buildings. During the early part of the week the books gave evidence of very little activity in the building line. Deputy Com- missioner Barron said that building was al- ways slow at this season of the year, but he expected that it would decidedly improve during the next week. Municipal Matters. The House of Delegates will be overhauled and returnished during thecoming week. Commissioner of Buildings Kledus was granted a leave of absence to-day until the 15th inst. His Honor resumed his regular hours at the City Halil to-day and disposed of a large amount of routine business which bad accumu- lated. The Union Railway Company to-day filed its reportfor the yuarter ending september 30.

The backbone of the greatest fall travel St. Louis has ever known has at last been broken, and in two or three days things will have settied down to their normal condition. Last night was a heavy night at the Union Depot, but it fell far short of the two preceding nights, and .the three heavy nights of the G. A. KR. week—Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Some years ago Thursday night of Fair week was invariably the heaviest night of the whole year for travel at St. Louis. Then then Veiled Prophets were organized and gave their nocturnal parade on Tuesday evening of Fair week. ‘This divided the travel between Tuesday and Thursday night, both occasions invariably causing a «reat crush atthe Union Depot. This year the WU. A. R. convention occurred here and created a travel that knocked outall previous records. Then came President and Mrs. Cleveland and the Fair and Veiled Prophets and Tues- day and Wednesday nights of this week broughtacrush and jam at the Union Depot that equaled the biggestnightor G. A. R. week, big Wednesday. Nearly all the peo- ple comingto the Fair this year managed to «et here Monday or Tuesday in order to see the Chief Executive and the Velled Prophet pageant. As a result there was not the gathering of eople here Thursday thatthere usually ts. Vhat has never veen the case before occurred this year. There was bigger travel and a greater crowd atthe Union Depot Wednesday night of the Fair than on Thursday night. On Tuesday night nearly allthe travel was local andjsuburban. Last night, like Wednesday night, itwas almost wholly through traflic. W hile last night fellshort of any Fair Thurs- day night for years, the crowd at the depot was by no’ means small. It was very large, buttbere was not the usual crush and jam. As on the previous evenings the departures far exceeded the arrivals. mn fact there were very few arrivals last night, and the same Was the case this morning. Everybody at-the depot to-day was leaving the city. About ail the people who intended coming here this fall to the festivities have already arrived, and henceforth there wiil be only departures. Travel will probably be heavy to-night, to- morrow night and Runday night, vut there will be no more crushes at the depot. CHILDREN'S Overcoats $1.98 to $15 at FamMowsS. New Warrants. Alex.

Decrease in Attendance Compared With Yesterdays, Increase Compared With the Day Last Year—Fine Herseflesh Shown in the Arena—Awards in the Horse and Cattle Departments—In the Rings and Halls. The fifth dayof the Fair opened with an- pther of the unusually fine days tnat have marked it throughout the first part of the week. When compared with yesterday’s crush the attendance to-day was siim, but taken in comparison with the corresponding day last year shows grandly. Inthe exhibit buildings the morn- ing crowd came evidently to see every arti- cle on exhibition. The morning arrivals were as usual ofthe rural element. Friday at the Fairisasitisatall the other places of amusement in St. Louis, distinctly society day. The afternoon crowd to-day was far more stylish and swell than the afternoon crowd of any previous day during the week. The influx of people did not really commence until about 2 o’clock, when the carriages and street cars broughta steady flow of humanity,wjalthough not enough to make the buildings unpleasantly crowded. The awards were not numerous except in the cattie and stock departments. The boothkeepers about the amphitheater seemed to have exhausted all their vitality yes- terday, and stood around their respective beer kegs making only a spasmodic effort now and then to shout the virtues of their wares. In the ampitheater the programme was somewbat longer, and fullyas interesting as yesterday, some very fine specimens of horse flesh being =-exhibited. One of the finest specimens bein the winner of the 8-year-old stallion of all work ring. Vent- nor, owned by Stericker Bros. This horse is a genuine Cleveland bay, and has taken first money in every ring he has entered during the last two years Another interesting feature was the exhibition of a string of imported French coach stallions belonging to the Kiwood Stabl»s.

Would-Be Train Wreckers Piead Guilty— Other Items of Interest. In the Cireuit Courtthis morning August Gahr, Joseph Franzand William Ward were arraigned on an indictment charging them with displacing a rail on the Lilinols & St. Louis Railroad during the strike in April a year ago. The place where-the rail was displaced is in a curve, a short distance out from West Belleville, and the Belleville accommodation train would have been ditched and probably anumberof lives lost had notthe plans for wrecking it been fortunately discovered a short while before the train came along. The petrators of the fiendish remained unknown until about weeks ago when the authorities discovered their identity and effected their arrest. When brought up before the Court this morning Gahr and Franz plead guilty and threw themselves on the mercy of the Court. The said they had displaced the rail when half crazy with liquor, and did not consider what ai terrible. catastrophe was likely to result. Judge Wall reserved sentence but remarked that the crime to which they had entered a plea of guilty wasavery grave one, when the consequences which might have ensued were considered and merited severe punishment. The longest term for, which they can be sent to the Penitentiary is five years. Ward plead not guilty and will be given a trial. Mike Klug and Bob Clancy, who were indicted for robbing a man named Tom Her- bert in East St. Louis, plead not guilty. Tom Manning plead guilty tothetheft of aset of harness from afarmer named Beadle and was sentenced to ninety days in jail. A bold attempt was made by two unknown men last night to tap the tillof Sinemus’ bakery, No. 19 North Church street. The men entered the store while Mrs. Sinemus was ina rearroom and were departing with a box fullof silver when shecame uponthem,. She caught the smallest, but he escaped by slip- ping his coat off and leaving itin her hands, The box of silver was dropped bythe tempo- rary captive in his fright. Ohiet Oster was notified last night bv Deputy Sheriff Sauterfield of Mount Vernon that he had arrested Willlam Schoupe, whois wanted in this city for burglarizing the residence of Mrs. Ewing? in Kast Belleville, about a year and a half ago. The burglary was committed by Schoupe and two other men named Jake Schneider und Ed Rudolph. The two latter are now serving terms of two years each in the Penitentiary.

SOMEBODY BLUNDERED, And a Highway Kebber Walked Out to Freedom as a Consequence, Through a blunder of somebody, a negro highwayman was allowed to escape this morn- ing. Afew days ago Detectives Desmond and Lawler arrested Alex Williams, alias Keyes, and John Curry on suspicion of being the men who ‘fheld up’’ §Henry L. Carlton of 1600 Olive street on the night of September 26. A charge of vagcrancy was “Spagenet against them to hold them t could be ascertained whether’ they were the right men, and when their cases came up for trial a continu: ance was taken until to-day. This morn- ing Mr. Carlton identified the men as the parties who robbed him anda warrant for highway robbery was taken out against him. Detective Desmond says that he then notified the City-Attorney that a warrant had been taken out against them forthe above offense. Mr. Butler says that Desmond told him that u warrant was to be taken out and not that one had been taken out. The attorney for the defendants asked for and was allowed to take a continnu- ancein the cases until to-morrow, but when the defendants were called Curry insisted on a trial. He said he was willing to piead guilty and take hours. The City Attorney states that he asked Detective Fagan, who walks with Des- mond, and who was the Only one of the three detectives in the court-room at the time, if he was willing to let Curry take hours. Fagan replied in the affirmative, and he accordingly recommended to the Court that the man be given hours and he was. Williams took a con- tinuance until to-morrow.

The Couple Married by Justice McCafirey— Still in the City. There was considerable indignation ex- pressed in the residence, No. 1333 Pine street, this morning, as Mrs. Devere, wife of Charles N. Devere, did not wish it to be understood that the wedding of Charles Keyo and Jessie Anderson, the eloping couple from Columbus, Ky., had taken place there. Mrs. Devere made the following statement of the facts in the case: ‘‘On Tuesday morning Mr. . E. Guest met Mrs. Anderson, the mother of the wayward girl, on the train from Columbus, Ky., looking for her daughter. Mr. Guest is a friend of the family, and asl had known Mrs. Anderson in Columbus be- fore my marriage, he recommended Mrs, Anderson to call here and see if she could procure iodgings elther here or in some place I might recommend. Knowing her so well, Isheltered her here and Mr. Guest went with Mrs. Anderson in search of her daughter. They called at the residence ot Mrs. Keyo, No. 821 High street, and in addi- tion to not finding Keyo, learned that be had gone out on his express run that morning (Tuesday). They verified the fact at the Pacific Express Company’s headquarters and began a search for the girl withthe aid of the police. She was found, and when Keyo came in from his run on Wednesday evening he was also arrested. Yesterday morning he agreed to a marriage, and, while I accompanied Mrs. Anderson sim- ply asafriend totake care of her, ltook no part in the subsequent proceedings. The couple were taken from the Four Courts direct to the Recorder’s office, and then direct to the office of Justice McCaffrey, where the marriage cere- mony was performed. The couple then went direct to the residence of Keyo’s mother, No. 821 High street, where they now are. They were not inmy house at any time, in fact Charlie Keyo, whose reputation is not good, could not obtain admission to my house at any time. I did not know at the time of the trouble that Mrs. Anderson was in, and I most emphatically object to having my name and house brought into the proceedings.’’ Mr. W. E. Guest was the principal witness at the marriage ceremony, and he stated that the bride and groom wore the same costumes that they had on in their cells. The groom wished to get a clean collar, necktie and shirt, but Mr. Guest considered it advisable, for certain reasons, to postpone these formalities, and on behalf of Mrs. An- derson entered a protest, so the wedding cer- emony came off if avery informalmanger at 11:15 yesterday morning.

From the Figaro. As far back asI can remember, I have always seen Martin, the cobbler, in his stall at the corner of the public square of my Village. Ihave always noticed him there, a shoe firmly held between his knees, bringing his tightly clenched fists together, bending his elbows, and plying his awl with a regularity akin to that of the heavy brass pendulum in the clock- case behind him, swinging tac, tac, tac, ever reminding him of the eternal mono- tony of life. Tac, tac, from left to right swings the pendulum, elbows bend and fists come to- gether. Pan, pan! the hammer falls; work progresses, but never ends. After one shoe comes another. Men walk and shoes are worn out. Pan, pan! down and up, tac, tac, from right toleft! All thy life, Martin, shallt thou ply thy awl and wield thy hammer, seated upon thy low chair in thy narrow booth, at the corner of the public square, opposite the church from which, on Sundays, escape strains as monotonous as the eternity of which they sing, as monotonous as our mortal lives which are ever swinging, tac, tac, from right to left, from fear to hope! In spring and summer, the trees in the square are clad in green; in autumn the leaves fall; in winter the limbs are bare. Tac, tac, all thy life, Martin, shalt thou tug at thy awl and swink thy hammer; shoes wear outand men walk. Work al- ways progresses but never ends. With summer come the locusts: there are thousands of them inthe topmost limbs of the plane-trees, in those high branches which are ever waving from right to left. On the trunks of the trees and on the ground the shade is riddled with small luminous spots which ever glide to the right and to the left, obedient to the wind: and the cicada fills the air with ‘its shrill noise, an unchanging, jerky note, which rises and falls as if it tlitted far, far away, after having come so near. The month of August slips- by and the locusts disappear. Floods come down from the hills and inundate the plains. About the village myriads of frogs set up a loud, upceasing clamor, so regular a racket, to which we get so accustomed that, when asleep, a sudden cessation of it wakes us up with astart, wondering if anything unusual bas occurred. In the public square stands a fountain. From the center of around pond arises a little column supporting a small basin, from which, through four pipes, the water flows and falls into the pond below with a merry splash, which never varies, never changes. It is ever the same monotonous mirth, that makes us feel sad when we remember that it is always thus, as indifferent to the departure of the dead covered with a black pall and being conveyed through the public square to their last resting-place, as it is to the arrival of the new-born babe carried to the church for baptism. The fountain with its four pipesisa timekeeper as well: it seems to mark the four seasons; it points to the north, to the south, to the east and to the west. Its waters rustle continuously, just like the leaves, like the frogs and the locusts, like strains from the church, like the pendu- lum, like Old Martin’s hammer. Pan, pan! Shoes wear out and men tfavel. Work progresses, but is never finished. Old Martin has a wife, a good, econom1- cal wife. Even on Sundays he works, heedless of the cure’s remonstrances. “If I did not work on Sunday, Monsieur le Cure, lLwould probably get tight!’ No one has ever seen him drunk, not even his happy wife, who adores him. What does old Martin think about as he lies his awl, us he wields his hammer? Tis odd, he wishesto give uphis stall. He is planning to quit it altogether. From the square, passers-by who glance at the little booth, find it pretty, because the glazed door whichis just as wide as the shop itself, is bordered with verdure, and old Martin on the inside, behind the glass, inthe center of his frameof flow- ers, resembles a life-like picture, one of those masterpieces to which the artist gives so much expression, such an ap- pearance of reality thatasingle glance gives us an insight into the life of the per- son represented, his habits, even of his very thoughts. Always unchanging, just likea painted picture, Old Martin grows old as he plies hisawl. From time to time he raises his head, casts a hasty look at the square where the fountain plays, where men walk. ‘*How d’do, how d’do, Pere Mar- tin?’ ‘*How d’do, how d’do.” They pass by and go abouttheir business. They will come back, What are old Martin’s thoughts so busy about? He is thinking of giving up his little shop. He has had enough of it. He feels that he is getting old. And it is just because he has had enough the shop that he remains there; that he does not move from it; that he is to be seen there so early inthe morning and so late at night, pegging away! Martin works hard now, so as to be abletostop working someday. His plans are all laid out. He is saving money. Pan, pan! During a whole lifetime he will drudge, soasto have, at the end, a few happy days without work, when he will change his quarters and no longer have tosay: ‘*Walk in, walk in, we will see about it!’ or ‘*The lowest price is six francs!’’ or **‘How d’do, how. d’do!” to each passing wagoner. Then, he will have a garden, a little gar- den of his own which he will water and attend to, in front of a little home he will have built. In his mind he has already selected the site of the house; it will be at one of the extremities of the village, ata short distance from the highway where men walk and shoes are wornout. Old Martin is getting tired of drudging with awl and hammer. Honest Martin smiles as he works, be- cause his heart is light with hope. Heisa worthy man and customers come to his shop from afar. He is hoarding up shining pieces of money in the old boots that dangle from. the ceiling of his attic. Strike, hammer: fiow, fountain. Folks say that little brooks, eh! eh! eh! make great rivers; little by little, pan, pan. pan, the bird builds its nest. Eh, eh,eh: And it happens now, that those who pass by the shop, hear Old Martin laugh. He is laughing allto him- self over his pleasant fancies, his little garden, his cozy home that will be built on the spot he knows so well, at one of the extremities of the village, a short dis- tance from the public road where men walk and shoes are worn out. ‘*‘Hello! Old Martin! we have hired an assistant it seems?’’ ‘*Faith, yes, as you see!’’ There are two of them in the shop now, an old man and a young one, plving the awl and wielding the hammer and greet- ing passers-by with ‘‘How d’do.” There are twoof them now in the green frame, anu old anda youngone. The apprentice seems young and vigorous, while Martin looks quite old, ‘‘An assistant, Martin! that makes quite a change in your life, eh?” ‘*‘A change? Yes, but oh! so little a one! There were too many customers!” “So much the better, Martin! so the better. Too much work rich!” And he smiles pleasantly, and so does his old wife. A change? He does not understand. No, his habits have not changed: there is the square, the church and the fountain; the same identical things, the same noises, the same words. Funerals still solemnly file by on their way to the grave- yard, christening parties still go to the church. Men walk and shoes wear out. Tack! tack! pan, pan! but there will soon be an endtoall this. The house will be erected. It is being built. The frame is up. The whole country talks of Martin’s house. It will shut out the notary from a view of the plain,and he, naturally, is any- thing but pleased.

Work! work! The fountain sings sweetly! To- morrow thou wilt not hear it. Thy ham- mer seems to resound joyfully. The new house has two stories. Upon the roof, right against the chimney, the bricklay- ers have set a flag adorned with a bouquet of oleander blossoms. Thy dream is real- ized. Thy houseisup. Thy flag floats as proudly in the breeze as does the one over the town-hall on holidays, Come, now, Martin! treat the workmen. Choose for that purpose some fine Sunday and christen thy new house! Thy needest no longer ply thy awl and thou mayst lay down thy hammer. I need no longer ply my awl, I may lay down my hammer! So frequently has Old Martin been toasted that he is‘tight, in fact, verv drunk. He had never tasted that white wine before, and he finds it very pleasant to drink, much better than the water of the fountain. It is Martin’s first Sunday, the firston which he does not hear issuing from the church the regular murmur of hymns as monotonous as the eternity of which they they sing! It is, then, a real Sunday, a day of rest! All Martin’s habits willnowchange. Play- fully he pats his apprentice’s shoulder. Eh!eh!teh! Both are fuddled, and they look at each other very strangely, saying such funny things that a crowd gathers around, laughing at them and exciting them on. Martin’s wifecomes up....Hello! why did the merry-making wind upina fight? The jollity ended in a row. How did he getdrunx? Why did he make his ap- prentice tipsy? No one would have dared to joke with poor Martin about his wife at hisage. He would not have been so furi- ous. And that evening in his residence (the old house, not hisown, the new one), alone with his wife and apprentice, he would not have got so mad as to wound the young man in the arm with his shoemaker’s knife. But it was his first Sunday. He was changing his mode of life and his habits forever; he wished to have a merry-making, the only one in his life, and he wished it such that people would say: “Oh! on that day Mar- tin did_ things in style!’’ Then he re- turned home drunk and fell to beating wife and apprentice: they defended them- selves, and there were blows, screams and blood. And to fill the measure of the old man’s woes, in his crazy fit of drunken fury he took up a lamp and set fire to the hangings of his bed, to the cur- tains of the windows, shouting at the top of his voice: ‘*Let everything burn!’’ He had had enough of a life of drudgery, whentheonly holiday he has ever al- lowed himself terminates in trouble. In front of the burning house, while the wound of the apprentice is being dressed, while others are consoling his wife, Mar- tin weeps and sobs like a child, The new house isno longer his. Half the money hoarded away in the dangling boots has gone to pay for the damage done by the fire. Yet the little booth has not suffered. Since that calamitous day, two years ago, the green climbers have grown out anew, while the old clock in the baci partof the shop still swings tac, tac, as if nothing unusual had happened. Inthe public square, the trees are, in turn, green, yellow or bare. The foun- tain, with its four sprouts, still plays merrily, a saddening mirth because it seems so heurtiess, heeding a funeral as little as it does achristening. Fun- erals, weddings, christenings are seen every day passing through the public square of my village. At night the chorus ot frogs makes a great din, not un- pleasant to those who are accustomed so ,: and who would probably awake with a start were it to cease while they slept. In summer the shrill locusts still sound their jerky notes in the topmost branches of the plane trees beneath which the shade is riddled with luminous round spots gliding hither and thither, asdo our hearts, which are ever fluttering between hope and fear. Tac, tac, pan, pan! time flies. hammer strikes,men walk,shoes wear out....“*How d’ye do! how d’ye do! Pere Martin.” Old Martin is there, alone, just as he used to be, before he took an apprentice. His wife no longer smiles. She looks older and older every day, her skin is like parchment, and her back is bent. She prepares the soup and mends the clothes while her husband plies his awl. He no longer hopes for any- thing, neither house nor garden. Still, at times, he repeats to himself asif ina dream: ‘*Oh! if some day, before dying, [could only own a small house with a little garden!” In reality, he feels as if he has had enough of life—of that life in which a single day of jolity is followed by a worldof. trouble. The old 4Mman lives on, just because he can’t help it. In the center of his green frame which spring dots with blood-red flowers, he re- semnbles a masterpiece of art in which the painter has deftly depicted with lines and colors a man’s whole life. Fur away, two leagues from the village, the railway trains sound their shrill They run upon rails which ex- tend from one end of the earth to the other, encircling it just asa hoop sur- |} rounds a barrel: : but Martin is always there, upon his low chair in his narrow booth. Over the seas sail ships, leaving in their wakes long lines of foam which also seem to encircle the globe. Martin is still there, | in his narrow booth, plying his awl and) wielding his hammer.

The old clock still reminds him of that eternal monotony of life which no one understands. Old Martin is there, in his narrow booth, just as he used to be, all alone. He is beginning over again.

The From the Jacksonville News-Herald, The following interesting incidents in the army life of. Gen. Bedford Forrest were witnessed by an eye-witness, and now for the first time published: In December, 1862, Gen. N. B. Forrest crossed the Tennessee river and made a raid through West Tennessee, which por- tionof the State was fortified in many places, all of which were strongly garrisoned. While making ib feint against - Jackson (to enable the larger partof his brigade to uninter- ruptedly capture the small stockades on the railroad) a staff officer galloped up to the General and exclaimed excitedly: ‘General, General, the Yankees are coming up in your rear!’’ Without a moment’s hesitation and in the most indifferent manner imaginable Forrest replied: ‘*T don’t kere a ——-——. face an’ I'l] bein thar rar.’’ While crossing the Tennessee River (returning from this same raid) his rear was strongly ovpressed' b the Federals. The ferry-boats ha to be pulled back and forth by hand. The weather was terribly cold, and as the men hauled uponthe wet ropes their hands would literally freeze to them. Forrest thought those on the east side were working too slowly and crossing over he immediately put every one to work—officers as well as privates, The Colonel who had been left in com- mand on the west side sent his Sergeant- Major across the river with an important message to Forrest. The Sergeant found the General hauling ou a rope, alternately encouraging and damfing every one near him. Heran up to Forrest, and began! ‘General, Colonel Woo—’”’ ‘*Damn Colonel whoever-he-is. Ketch hold of this rope and help pnil the boat in!’’ ‘*But, General, Col—’’ **Don’t talk tome. Help pull this boat in, or 1’) throw youin the river,’’ shouted Forrest. ‘*But, General, [’'m sent—’ beran the sergeant, when Forrest seized him, and with one twist of his muscular arm lifted the messenger clear off his feet. and stood him up in the water waist deep. The sergeant, to save himselfas he went over, seized hold of Forrest’s coat, and ulled the General in with him. orrest retained his hold of the sergeant, and, exclaiming, *‘Spunky dog eh :’’ he soused him under the water an held him there a few seconds; then lifting ‘*T’ll about the sergeant’s head above the water long breath, he enough ior him to cateh his E.

Agent. would shove him under water again, and again bringing him up, would repeat: c ‘‘Spunky dog, eh!’ After immersing the sergeant several times, Forrest helped him ashore, when the latter, half strangled and coughing, tried to draw his pistol. Forrest yo him two or three slaps on his back to help him expel the water from his lungs, say- ing at the same time: ‘*‘You d—— little fool, don’t you know your pistolis wet, and won’t fire?” 1,000 ParRs Boys’ genuine Wooten Knee Pants 69c at FaMOUS.

MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 7.—Extensive preparations are being made for the conven- tion to be held in this city October 20 and 91 for the improvement of the Western water- ways. The following circular has been is- sued: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE WESTERN WATERWAYS, STATE OF TENNESSEE, { MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 7, 1887. To the People of the Mississippi Valley: As thetime for thé meeting of the Western Waterways Convention at Memphis on the 20th of Uctober is near at hand, the Executive Committee for Tennesse, in view of the importance of the matters to be consid- ered | the convention, has deemed it advisa- ble and proper to supplement the circular no- tice and Invitation heretofore issued by a brief reminder calling special attention to the sub- ject. In order to be of any practical value the convention must be in fact as weil as In name a representative body, voicing the necessity and requirements of the ple of this valley in a deliverance that shall beof no doubtful Import, and which the 1} 4 and executive departments of the national Government will not feel at liberty to disre- gard. The committee therefore urges prompt and udicious action on the part of the several tates, cities, communities, boards of trade and other organizations locally interested in the selection and appointment of delegates, all of whom may be assured of a cordial greet- ing onthe part of Memphis and her people. igned] J.

PARIsS, October 7.—Mr. Blaine is taking Paris quietly. He has become stouter since his trip to the German watering-places. He is out of doors nearly all day. Yesterday morning he drove about the city visiting various points of interest, and in the afternoon he and Mrs. Blaine took a long walk. He has left the Hotel Vendome and has taken a suite of rooms at the Hotel Binda, which Is the American headquarters. Mr. Biaine is very shy of speaking about his Homburg experiences and of the Prince of ales incl- dent. No definite decision has been ar- rived at as to where the winter will be spent, although Nice is looked upon with mostfavor. Mrs. Blaine keeps her room a good deal, and a'though tmproved in health isnot well. Mr. Blaine has been reporters since he has been here, but has re- fused to grant any interview. Yesterday the Figaro devoted two columas to Mr. Biaine, reviewing his life from a decidedly Demo- cratic standpoint. The Blaines will remaia in Paris for some time. PERSONAL GOSSIP. Ex-Congressman Herbert of Alabama is staying at the Hotel Binda. Mr.W. K.Vander- bilt will join his family on Saturday next. Mr. John Munroe and his flancee, Mrs. Firmin Hunt, will sail on Saturday for New York, where they will be married. A concert for the benefit of the American Church here was given Wednesday night.

Comparison of the Band-Master With Other Leaders—The Programme for To-Night Discussed—Incidents Gathered in the Ex- position—Nuggets From the Naves. As to-day is Friday, Gilmore has, according to his fixed rule, arranged a classical pro- gramme for both the afternoon and evening concerts, and itis safe to predict from this afternoon’s crowds, that he will have a large audience to listen to him to-nignt. Itisa noteworthy fact that Gilmore is the only leader among all the great leaders of bands and orchestras that can attract a monster audience to listen to aclassical pro- gramme, andit seems strange. It must be ascribed to hisown magnetic personality, for it is safe to say that Thomas and Gericke, the great orchestra leaders ofthe country could advertise almost the same idéntical programme and not attract a corporal’s guard when compared to Gilmore’s audi- ence, Some doubt was expressed dur- ing Gilmore’s first engagement that the giving up of Friday evening to a classical programme would be successful, but Mr. Gil- more was eonfident and the result proved the correctness of his judgment. Leaving out the few isolated monster audiences that have greeted him on several occasions this year and the Friday evening audiences will be found to be above the average in point of at- _ tendance. * a * Such music as Wagner’s overture to Rienzi, Gounod’s Nativity Hymn, the Shepherds, the overture to Der Freischutz, the overture to Tannhauser, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, and Rossini’s overture to the Stabat Mater, are works that may well command the admira- tion of the world, and the St. Louis public likes them. Apropos ‘ot the Moonlight Sonata, it has been held that as the work is strictly a ns osition. for piano that no orchestra fan possibly bring out its hat effest, but the arrangement ores by Gilmore certainly disproves this, or nothing nore beautiful can be conceived than the melancholy theme of the first num- ber as carried by the quintette of French horns with the accompaniment in triplets by the reed instruments. The effect is magni- ficent and every musician who hears it leaves convinced that Gilmore can do wonders with his band. It is to be regretted that he does not play the three movements as the scherzo and presto movements are fully as beautiful as the first number. . 7 The following is the programme for this evening, from7o’clock to 10, with an inter- mission of an hour: 1. Overture—Tannbauser. Wagner 2. ng—Repentance. .... Beethoven 3. Grand selection from the symphonies, sona- tas, Oratoriosand other works of Mendelssohn. 4.

VERNON, Me., October 7.—David Van Wie of E. 8. Higgins & Co. and J. C. Viney, at the head of the silk department of Denning & Co., entertained the populace here yesterday morning by the payment of a wager on the contest for the America’s cup, made after the Volunteer had won the firstrace. Promptly at7 a.m. Mr. Viney appeared with a wheel- barrow and the next instant Mr. Van Wie, car- rying in his hand a white bannerette with **Volunteer’’ painted on it, andin his left band a bunch of thistles, with the trimmings of mourning, took his seatinthe vehicle. The residents along the route turned out and showered bouquets of flowers, cheers and ap- plause on the contestants. There were three otfour dumps in the roadway on the way down,but those were nothing to the rompetty- bumpetty- bump of the barrow and its rider overthe rough stones. Mr. Van Wie several times considerately proposed to give a receipt in full for part payment of the wager, but Mr. Viney declared that he would not beso dishonorable as to fail to pay his debt in full. They reached the station with this result: Mr. Van Wie, dirt-begrimed hands, soiled clothing and bruised limbs; Mr Viney, skin peeled from blistered hands; the wheelbar- row, one leg broken off. C.

Lee Arraigned for the Election Frauds—His Plea and Bond—Wife-Whip- ping as a Pastime—The School Election Case—A Suit Against Real Estate Agents —Notable Matters in the Federal and State Courts To-Day. Judge Lubke will sit to-morrow in Court- room No. l for the purpose of hearing the pe- tition of Receiver Thompson of the Provident Bank for directions concerning the course he is to pursue in the matter of the liability of the Directors. The petition has spe- cial reference to the indebtedness of the Anchor Milling Company. The receiver repre- sents to the Court that the indebtedness ex- ceeds $100,000 in notes and overdrafts, and he quotes the Statute touching upon the liability of bank directors for permitting loans to any single firm or corporation in excess of 25 per cent of thecapital stock. The directors of the Provident, at the time that the Court assumed control of its affairs, were: James 8S. Garland Charies H. Smith, Charles B. Greeley, Wm. E. Guy, Wm. FP. Mullen, George Scott, Thos.H. Swain, B.S. Adams and Almon B. Thomson. As this decision would materially affect the final dividend shortly to be declared, the Court will dispose of the matter without any delay. The receiver states in his petition that some action was demanded by Herman A. haeussler, who, it will be remembered, soon after the collapse stirred up the boardina lively fashion. Robert E. Lee Arraigned. Robert E. Lee, the ex-clerk of the Hotel Brown, who was arrested yesterday under in- dictment for election frauds after several months’ search, was formally arraigned this morning in the United States Circuit Court before Judges Brewer aud Thayer.

The property in Iill- nols consisted of 285 acres near Mitchell Sta- tion, and the St. Louls property is located near King’s highway and the Olive street road. The cancellation is asked on the ground of fraud and misrepreseutation as to the value and condition of the St. Louis property and the incumbrances upon it. ee Federal Court Gleanings.

Chappel Investigated and Vindicated by Lieut. Weber. Lieut. J. H. Weber of the Signal Corps left to-day for San Antonio. There has been con- siderable irony attaching to his stay here the lastfew days. He camehere to awaitthe decis- ion of a court-martial in his own case, and yet within the past week he has been ordered to investigate charges against the head observer of the St. Louis sta- tion, Sergt. V. P. Chappel. The charges were of an ambiguous character, and al- leged that he had not been giving satisfaction. The complainant is not known to any- body outside of the chief office, and ordinarily the complaint would not have been noticed, but Lieut. Weber being on the ground he could be easily assigned to the investigation without incurring any expense. Accordingly he was detailed and has investigated & ail the relations of the Signal Office to the community. He finds there is not the slightest ground for war- ranting any further consideration of the charges. President Gaiennie of the Merchant's Exchange and the Meteorological Committee state that Sergt. Chappel has discharged his duties with faithfulness and Sn. tape re and will forward their opinion to Washington. The fact is Seret. Chappel has done unusual- ly good work. The maps he has made for the Merchants’ Exchange are the finest ever placed on the floor and are models of artistic drawing. The regular daily mape are among the finest in the country, if nott best, and show how well qualified the observer is to fill the posi- tion he now occupies.

AUGUST GEHNER., Trustee —_—— FLESH TURNED INTO STONE. ) Remarkable Stories of Petrefaction Occur. ring in the Bad Lands of Dakota. Rapid City Correspondence of the Milwaukee Journal, Dakota is truly a marvelous and won- derful country. Not only wonderful in mineral and agricultural resources, but it abounds in geological formations that afford constant surprise and study for the student in this most interesting science. The Bad Lands, located seventy miles southeast of this point, bave no equal on this continent as a receptacle for petri- factions of amphibious animals. The pe- culiarity of the soil transforms flesh into stone, but this power is not only confined to the soil of the Bad Lands, but exists in many localities in the Black Hills. A case has just come to the knowledge of your correspondent that has never been made public, and proves that many bodies buried in the Hills have turned to stone. The case at hand is that of alittle son of Mr. Eugene Holcomb, a prominent citizen of Rapid City. Some years ago the boy died and was buried in a spot set aside for general burying purposes. When the city grew and a cemete ry was se- lected, Mr. Holcomb had a large monument erected, and the departed disin- terred. The family expected when the shovel of the grave-digger reached the casket it would need replacing and had made preparations to that end. The coffin was reached, and as the man endeavored to place a rope underneath to twist it to the surface, he was surprised at its great weight. Thinking it was the narrow, contracted hole that reduced his strength, he made several more efforts, but only moved it a few inches, and was ‘compelled to call for aid. Two men succeeded in placing the rope about the casket, and with a hard pull it was brought to the surface. An examination followed, and upon the deceased being revealed it was found that the body had turned, not as Scripture says: ‘‘Dust thou art to dust returnest,” but into solid rock. From a gentleman who was present and whose word can be relied upon, it was learned that the parents easily recognized the child. The body had assumed a dark- brown color, the features slightly shrunk- en, and he compared it with the aippear- ance of a mummy. ‘he eyebrows and hair were of alighter hue, while the bands were perfect. It wasthe most singular sight he had ever witnessed, and only the sensitive feelings of the parents kept the matter from the newspaper columns. The body was again interred. and now rests peacefully in the family lot ~~ aught we know. The strange transformation of this body is not the only instance recorded. The few number of dead removed has not afforded an opportunity to learn how common an occurrence this may be, but learned gentiemen tell me that when Gabriel blows his bugle or the disinter- ring of bodies becomes necessary in the Black Hills country, many bodies will be found turned to stone. The other instance related is that of Wild Bill, murdered in Deadwood by Jack Call ten years ago. Bill was buried on the mountain side, and the building of residences compelled the unearthing of his bones. What was the surprise of his friends when they discoyv- ered that the famous frontiersman was a solid stone—petrified. This revelation may appear strange to Eastern readers, but here it is an open secret. American Taste aed Skill, Represented by Colgate & Co., produce per- fulnes and toilet soaps more delicate than can be made abroad Rat-Proof Corn Cribs. From the Prairie Farmer. N. J. Shepherd writes that after he had been unable to exclude rats from his corn crib by ordinary means, he lined it with hemlock plank six inches wide, and coy- ered the floor and ceiling with the same material, placing the plank about one- fourth of an inch apart. Not a rat has found its way into the crib since. Mice, however, have found entrance; they seem able to gnaw hemlock, while rats can- not. To exclude these he would lay the floor with plank from four to six inches wide, with inch spaces between them to admit ventilation for the corn, and then cover the whole with woven wire with meshes which mice cannot pass. Nail outhe inside of the studs woven wire strong enough to resist the pressure of the corn, and with meshes to exclude the mice. Then nailwoven wire on the cross- pieces overhead. The floor wire and that overhead need not be very heavy. Sucha crib will shut out both rats and mice and let in more air than any other. Its extra cost will be repaid in a few years in clean, sound, well-dried and unnibbled corn, What Was It? A little package she hid from him fn her shopping Dag.

A country maiden who was newly en- gaged ran in familiarly tosee a neighbor one morning, aud after she was gone the liostess mentioned the fact to a third ac- quaintance. “T haven’t seen Alice before since she was engaged,” shesaid. ‘‘She was look- ing wouderfully brightand happy. lam giad she is in such good spirits.’’ ‘*Did you congratulate her! ’?? asked the other. ‘‘What did you say!’ ‘*‘Congratuiate her?’’ Janet the first speaker. ‘“‘Why, no; how could I when I had on my old calico and my hair wasn’t even combed? for that.’’ Which shows that the social proprieties are not lost sight of even in the rural dis- tricts.

Niccolls have aclose resemblance that itis easy for them to ride behind the double. When his brethren atteippt to get off a joke on Dr. Allen he strokes his whiskers and points to their similarity to Dr. Niccolls’. It is even said that one day after Dr. Allen had preached unexpectedly for the pastor of the Second Church he was warmly greeted | a deacon who mistook him for the regular shepherd. The Republicanism of Lewis E. Kline, man- ager of the Baptist Publishing House of this city, has been seriously in doubt since the first part of the week. When the President and Mrs. Cleveland came past Fourteenth and Washington a window was hastily thrown up and a solid form was seen to drop ten feet and land with a loud noise onthe sidewalk. It was Mr. Kline, and he was rewarded for his daring flight by being the only one on his side of the street. The Presi- dent bowed and Mrs. Cleveland’ smiled in his direction, and ashe was the only one around, he made one of his most gallant bows inreturn. Mr. Kline has often been called the finest looking man inthe Baptist conven- tion, but this week will always be a red -letter one in his life. Sunday the important innovation of Sunday lecturea will begin at Shaare Emeth Temple, Seventeenth and Pine streets. No movement in Jewish religious circles is being more closely watched by the country thanthis. The reasons why so much attention is paid it are two: First, the lectures are generally understood to be simply a preliminary to the introduction of regular Sunday services in place of Satur- day’s, or, in other words, giving up the historic Sabbath for the Sunday. Second, the church is the most influential in the West, and ita open support of Sunday services would be a great triumph for that element so hard to define called the ‘‘advanced liberals.’’ Another thing that lends a deep interest to this step is the fact that the movement locally is led by Rabbi Sale, one of the youngest members in the Hebrew —_ ey * The move- ment means a great deal the Jews, and already one member has peakees from the Board because he could not indorse the pro- posed change. As he threatened to take with him a large following, the effect of the Sunday lectures may be felt at Shaare Emeth imme- diately. The St. Louis Open Air Mission, now that the cold weather is coming on, took an important step this week, changing its name to suit the change in the season. At a meeting held this week Henry Tudor, President of the Raliway Y. M. C. A., Was present and asked the Mis- sion to co-operate with him in oarrying on work on this side of the river. He thought it would be wise for the Mission to change its name to the St. Louis Christian Union, but President Gary objected to this and claimed the open air movement had gained too strong a hold on the — to have its name abandoned. Final it was decided to call it the Cnriat an and Open Air Mission. Effurts made at once to et ready wintercampaign. ‘‘We “ee to have a hail for weetings down-town, reading-room etc., to prosecute our work roperly,’* sai Mr. Gary.. ‘‘We cannot confine our work pe railroad men, young men, or any c will assist all endeavors ‘ajon those special lines, but must not be restricted." Open-air Sunday meetings have not yet been aban- doned, and have been begun at Forest Park, where much interest is manifested. thie unknown Db eee Lim at the pest ——— the Second Church are asking constantly, ‘Who ishe? Where is he? and whence is he come?’ Ma send them a man is own heart,’’ In the same eoancetion it may be said that eS those who have made the best impres- sions onthe Second Baptist people are harton of Montgomery, Ala., and Rev. D. ‘Stifler of Crozer Seminary. Both are radically different as pulpiteers. The latter was remarked because of his originality of thought, but there is no doubt that he spo sod this by his delivery,made poor by close atten tion to his notes. Dr. Wharton, on the other hand, though not so original, made a decid- edly good | se by delivering his dis- courses all off-hand with an articulation and clearness that left nothing to be desired. Stifler speaks very rapidly and not always distinctly. Wilbor’s Cod Liver Oi] and Phosphate of Lime cures Coughs, Coids, Asthma, Bron- chitis and all Scrofulous Humors.

In your issue of September 10, writes Allan Putnam in the Boston Transcri pt, a statement was made that the Little Pale. ters of the Poor exhibit at the coming fair in Mechanics’ building pears from the original Bartlett a tree, standin grounds now owned by the sisters. ‘rhe statement in your article is that ‘‘all the Bartlett pear trees in the United States owe their origin to this tree, which is about 50 years old.’’ There were two pear trees of that variety, equal in age as to growth on American soil, and both were standing and fruit- bearing only five or six years ago, and presumably are so now. One of them, the larger of the two, is on the grounds of the Sisters; the other, only afew rods distant, is not on their grounds. These trees are much more than fifty years old. Enoch Bart-~ lett, from whom the pear takes its name, was my father-in-law, and I resided near to and on his grounds from 1845 to 1860, and during the first fifteen of those years was in frequent conversation with him touching all his interests there. The house he occupied had been built, and three or four acres around it stocked with imported trees of many varieties by a Mr. Brewer, probably ip the latter haif of the first decade (and earlier half of the second) of the nt century. Mr. Brewer was lost at sea, and his family had to part with house and lands. Mr. Bartlett obtained the property in 1820, — young trees on the ground were jtist on to be fruitful. Soon, but I do know exactly which year, Mr. Bart- lett was able to take down into State street some pears of an unknown variety yet of extraordinary size, beauty and romise, lam mot able to name the year definitely, but thi pron must have been early in the twenties. I think it must be that the trees were imported at least seventy years ago. After Mr. Bartlett’s decease (in 1861-2) I built a house on part of the grounds once his orchard, and there was my home until 1880. The top limbs of the trees now owned by the Sisters had died or were dy- ing early in the sixties, I personally was called to hold conference with the r dener as to what todotothe tree. ‘on- clusion was that the rootand trunk, with the limbs removed, were vital enough to ut forth and sustain a new top. ey onbe done it, and the fruit to be exhibited will have grown upon that new to The old top of the other tree was fruit ul up to +a of my removal from there in 1880.

Frrm the London Times. i Prof. Scott,in his recent book on “Farm Fences,’’ estimates that for every acre of enclosed land in the United Kingdom there is over £linvestedin fences,and that the annual maintenance of these fences costs something like 3s. peracre. Taking these figures in the aggregate, as applied to the 45,000,000 acres enclosed land in the United Kingdom, he shows the total capital sunk in fences to be nearly £50,000,000, the annual maintenance and repair of these fences to cost at least £6,750,000. There is no denying, he thinks, that many existing fences might be dispensed with to the great advantage of agriculture, quite apart from the expense of maintaining them. He also points out that the ex- tended introduction of a cheap and dura- ble system of wire-fencing renders possi- ble still further economy in the matter of fenves, referring more especially to barb- wire fences, in which fewer anes of wire make an equally efficient fence, and that with only one-half to one-fourth the number of posts which it is considered necessary to use in plain wire fencingor in post and rail fences.

St. Louis Markets. FORENOON SESSION—CLOSING 1P. M. Liverpool’s receipts of wheat for past week were 381,000 bu, 218,000 bu arriving from America, but only 89,000 bu corn received. ——Almost a deadlock is reported in the wheat mnarkets of Bombay | and Calcutta. —— Latest mail advices are that potatoes in England continue to dis- appoint growers. In Germany potatoes are tie subject of increasing complaints, espe- cially so in Posen and Prussia.—~An interest- ing report comes from Pulaski County, Ga., where one planter has already picked,ginned, packed and soid fifty-six bales of cotton, averaging 600 pounds so the bale. This from eighty acres. At Savannah, on the 80th ult., there were twenty-seven steamships in port loading cotton. Reports. from Clan- ton, Ala., are that the crop is turning out better than was autleinated. From Eutaw, Ala., cOme reports that the crop outloo« is anything but cheerful. In the back land, where there was almost a failure last year, all agree that the crop isa little better than last year, but is still very poor, while in the hili section the verdict is almost unani- mous that the crop is shorter than last year,. some say one-third. —New York to Small & Raisin: Liverpool cable on wheat, spot firm and futures neglected..——-The northwest country ele- vators are said to be nearly filled with wheat, and it is expected that the spring wheat crop will soon begin moving into primary markets. ——Advices from Buenos Ayres state that in consequence of low quotations and dull re- ports from Europe prices have been reduced, but not low enough to lead to business. The finest samples of wheat are becoming scarce. The rains are of bene- fit to the crop, of which an increased acreage seems to have been sown this season. Ship- ments of wheatfrom Chili are kept in check by the low prices ruling in Europe, and business is almost out of the question. W. Cobb & Co.’s purchases of spot and October corn to- -day at 40c and above created a mild sort of excitement. About alithe No.2 corn in store here is sold to go to Europe, and current receipts do not near supply the demand that comes from export and order buyers. The former have to have the actual corn, hence the way they are bidding up for it. Cobb, it is well understood, is buying for Dunn, the Chicago exporter. rthwein Bros. were taking some of the cash corn to- day, also. There is not much of a line of short contracts out for October.——A large portion of the game now coming in is tainted and out of condition, owing to the warm weather.——For the eight months ending Aun- gust 31 France imported 24,734,221 bu wheat in 1887, 13,254,905 bu in 1886 and 18,237,172 bu in 1845.

BaNGOR, Me., October 7.—The greatest ex- citement over the enforcement of the Maine game lawa, since the murder of the two game wardens aboutayear ago, was caused here yesterday by the arrest of three Boston sports- men and their guide, by two of the deer wardens in the employ oftheState. The close time on deer expired last Saturday, and six days before that time the three Bostonians came here and went to Burlington, alittle town twenty miles from Bangor. Their shoot- ing outfit was packed in trunks so as not to attract attention, and they proposed to go into the woods and have several days’ buntingin close time and bring the deerin open time, claiming they had shot them then. They are rich men and spared no expense. They hired Reuben Sibly,one of the best Maine guides, and when he declined going on account of the law they told him that the wardens were not the stuff to catch them. So the guide went and Shey also took a deerhound and a beagle valued at several hundred dollars. Commis- sioner Stillwell got wind ofthe affair and sent Charles Pond and Albert French after the sportsmen. They reached their camp and re- mained within sight of them three days before the close time expired. The wardens would foliow the sportsmen by day, dodging, Indian fashion, from tree to tree. For two nights they camped within a mile of the Bostonians. They suffered very much with the cold and their provisions ran short. The sportemen killed two deer while under the gurvelliance of the warden. Thesecond was brought to bay in a stream only a few feet away from where Pond was concealed. The warden was directly in range, and had just time to spring behind a fallen log when a vol- ley was fired atthedeer. Pond heard bullets whistie by his ears, and his hair stood on end as he thought of his narrow escape. Friday afternoon the wardens started out of the woods after the warrants. They traveled all night and reached Bucksport. at 4 o'clock next morning. They got their warrants and started into the woods again and arrested the law-breakers on Tuesday at their camp. At first the Bostonians protested their innocence, but when told that they had been followed tor three days they avein. They were arraigned in court at ucksport yesterday and fined $800 for killing the two deer and the costs added, making the fine $2,000. They did not have that much money, and J. F. Moses, a prominent citizen of Bucksport, paidthe fine. The men refuse to give theirnames. They are said to be prom- inent business men of Boston an¢@ were well known by Mr. Moses.

STRIPE effects in trousers, tailor-made, for men and youths, $6 and $7.50, at FAMOUS. A MUSKRAT’S WORK. The Disastrous Flood at Nashua, N. H.— The Mills Shut Down. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPaTcn. NASHUA, N. H., October7.—A muskrat dug aholethrough the bank of the canal of the Nashua Manufacturing Company, about a mile above the city, yesterday morning. The water began totrickle through. In a short time the small stream had swelled into ator- rent and a disastrous flood followed. Capt. Shaw, the agent, was in the mill when sud- denly the power went down, and, going out, he discovered the water rapidly lowering. Realizing that a burst must have occurred somewhere, he hurried out his team and drove along the right bank to about a mile above the mill opposite the lower pond. There he beheld ascene of destruction that has not been equaled in this city for over a quarterofa century. On the left bank was a break 100 feet long, through which the water of the canal rusbed and foamed. The banks on either side, above and below the opening, were rapidly crumbling away under the force of the torrent, and it threatened the destruc- tion of the left bank. A man was dis- atched to the gate-house at Mine alls to shut down the gate through which the water comes to run the milis. The torrent swept away into the woods di- rectly in front, carrying trees and all the waste around tothe Nashua River behind. The yiver rose rapidly. The mills immediately shut down, and there is no telling when they willresume work, as the damage will take weeks torepair. The water is now rushing through the opening from the upper pond, and until that is emptied nothing can be done. The flood has thrown 3,000 employes out of work. —— B. H.

A FIERCE FIGHT BETWEEN BILLY YOUNG OF BALTIMORE AND JOHN MONAHAN. The New York Pugilist Is Hissed by the Spectators—How Jake Kilrain Impressed | a British Audience—Jem Smith Says He Likes the American—Something of De- troit’s Keoord — Good Jockeys Scarce— Sporting News and Notes — Base Ball Gossip. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., October 7.—At 4 0’ clock yesterday morning a long string of ‘‘night liner’’ hacks filled with sporting men from this city and Baltimore traveled out over the roads to acountry pike adozen miles from the city where in the woods a ring was pitched fora pugilistic meeting between two middle weights, Billy Young of Baltimore and John Monahan of New York. Youngisthe hero of anumber of battles. He fought Charlie White twice, once to a draw after thirty-seven rounds. He also fought four round bouts with McAuliffe and has met Charlie McCarthy and John Murphy. Monahanis not so well known, but gave evidence of first-class ability ip the battle. A well-known sporting man of this city was selected as referee; Patsy Morgan time-keeper, and : JIMMY REAGAN and Dan Toomey umpires. Jimmy Keenan, the light-weight champion of Maryland, sec- onded Monahan, while Jack Rooney of this city looked out for Young. At 8 o’clock the gloves were tossed into the ring by some of the spectators, and were found to be em- broidered on the backs with heavy silken cord, which did great execution. In the first round both men sparred cautiously for an opening. Monahan feinted once or twice and then landed on Young’seye. The latter sent a savage right-hander in, which Monahan stopped with his ribs, and, slipping, fell on his knees. He was upinan instant, and both clinched and time was called. Second round. First blood was allowed Young, who laid open the flesh over Mon- ahan’s left eye, with a swinging blow with his right. Young reopened thecut again in the fifth round. Monahan forced the fighting, however, and the men clinched three times. Just before time was called Young swung his left into Monahan’s mouth, splitting his upper lip clear to his nose. Monahan was game and secured a decided advantage inthe next four rounds, forcing Young to the ropes and land- ing heavily on his head and neck. In the eleventh round, after being ordered to break, Young struck at Monahan but fell short. The referee refused to allow the claim of foul. Monahan sent in two stinging blows on Young’s earinthe next round. In the next round a spectator offered $5 for the first square knock-down, but did not give the money up, though Young wentto his knee ou aslip. The Baltimore boy showed A BADLY BATTERED FACE as he came up in the fitteenth round and fought on the defensive. In the sixteenth round Young forced the fighting savagely, evidently in the hope of knocking his man out at once, but Monahan proved a stayer. Another claim of foul against Young was disallowed. The seventeenth round was tiercely contested by both. First one and then the other was forced to the ropes, while both got in heavy short-arm work on each ~~ ribs. On the opening of the eight- eenth round the New York boy drove his man to the ropes, but Youngrallied and rushed at Monahan, strikingand kicking him. The lat- ter at once claimed a foul, and while discuss- ing the point with his referee, turned his back to Young, who stepped quickly up behind and dealt him a stinging blow on the cheek. The fight was then givento Monahanon the foul, while the crowd of 200 spectators cheered for the New Yorker and hissed the other. The stakes amounted to a little more than $200. Kilrain Spars in London, LONDON, October 7.—Jake Kilrain made his bow last evening for the first time before the English audience by boxing three rounds with Mitchell at St. James Hall. Two thousand and five hundred people were in the building. The sports were an olla podrida af all manly arts. Single stick and quarter staff bouts as in the merry days of Robin Hood, fencing and in fact every conceivable method of displaying manly strength, pluck and endurance were on the card. Lebhind the stage and closetothe files were seated the hereditary legislators of the realm, almost as large a gatheringin short as when the ancient class assemble and make for West- minster to throw outa Liberal Irish bill. In the front row of stalls were men grown gray in hard hitting and young chickens awaiting the appearance of theirfriends. The presence of many ladies made up the ensembie of atypi- cal sporting scene. Shortly before the bout of the evening Jem Smith’s genial countenance peeped in through one of the stage doors, and as he and Flem- ing, his backer, made their way to the gallery the whole audience rose and yave him a rous- ing cheer. The boy from 8t. Luke bowed with amiable condescension, and then awaited to see stripped for the first time his foeman from across the water. When Mitchell tripped out on the stage with a merry twinkle in his blue eyes, as though he were glad to get home, all eyes were turned on the tall, dark-looking man, who with a soft, almost feline tread for one 80 heavy followed him. For a moment the hall, which had been so noisy, was pervaded with a stillness which would have done honor to a Quaker meeting. The British public were engaged in sizing up the American pugilist. They evidently lked his quiet bearing, forthe next moment they guve a cheer so hearty and so hospitable that all the Americans in the audience felt proud of their Anglo-Saxonancestry. The most enthu- siastic of all, perhaps, was Jem Smith, who clapped until his face was as red as a lobster. Kilrain’s stvle of putting up his fists imme- diately caught the eye of the connoisseur. While the bouts with Mitchell were but the usual exhibition rounds they sufficed to show that Kilrain has aie remark- able reach, a terrible swiftness in striking and a quiet, business-like manner which inspires confidence. At the close of the exhibition I saw Smith and asked him how he liked his man. ‘‘Bully,’’ was the reply. ‘‘We will ’ave a nice time down in Spaiu. I ’ope Mr. Kilrain knocks out one of my teeth in the first round. I never wake up to my work until 1 dropa grinder.’’ The first bona-fide betting then began. A month ago money could be laid on Kilrain 1 to 10; last night, however, but 3 to 1 was given, and even that with no enthusiasm. Farewell Louisville. The Louisville Club bade good-bye to St. Louis yesterday afternoon by yielding an easy game to the champions. Chamberlain and Hudson were the pitchers and the latter pitched an excellent gaine. The champions made ilruns, 21 hits and 8 errors, and Louis- ville scored 5 runs, 9 hits and Y errors. Other Ball Games Yesterday.

Detroit has won it, or rather, cannot lose it. Com.- menting on this the Free Press says: The Detroit Ba Jub has had a checkered career. In 1881, aes of its entrance into the League, it made a surprisingly good show- ing, standing fourth at the close. After this and up to 1886 it had a tendency to gravitate towards the tailof the League. In 1882 it was sixth, in 1883, seventh, and in 1884 the Detroit Club was the sole possessor of the caudal ap- pendage of the League animal. In 1885 there was an infusion of young blood and the team crawled upto sixth, beating out Buffalo and St. Louls. Then in 1886, after the Detroit Generals had outwitted their opponents ani secured the creain of the base bali profession, the club jumped to second place and made Spaiding's teeth chatter. They showed they | had all the qualities of ge pg teenage! and this season they fulfilled the hopes of De- troiters and expectations of nearly all the rest of the base “rid by winning the cham- | stav a short time. pionship banner. has been remarkable. The showing of the team It took the lead almost at the start (May4) and has not since been headed, although once tied for first lace Dy Chicago. Batting is the potent means y which they have pounded their way to the pennant, and thisstick work has been sup- plemented by asuperior quality of fleiding. The play of the team has been for long stretches brilliant in the extreme,and again at times has been soragged as to discourage their warmest admirers. The pitching department, whichearly in the spring seemed impreg- nable, suddenly petered out, and left the team in bad shape. Despite this drawnack the sluggers pounded out enough victories to keep them inthe lead. They made a grand and puaseeeres fight and deserve the highest appro- ation. - — — THE BIG GAMES, Local Enthusiasts Excited Over the World’s Series Next Week, The two big games in the world’s champlion- ship series, which take place at Sportsman’s Park on Monday and Tuesday next, are the talk of the town. The interest in them far exceeds that shown in any game, games or series ever played in St. Louis. The desire to see Detroit tackle the world’s champions is unprecedented, and the local feeling is everywhere seen as being thoroughly satisfied with the prospect of witnessing two of the grandést contests ever played. It will bea magnificent test of heavy hitting against fleld- ing and base-running. With La- tham and his ‘‘Whoa, there!’’ Detroit will have an interesting siege of it. Capt. Anson called the ordeal through which his club passed last fall a *‘siege,’’ and Detroit will be initiated into the mysteries of high-art coaching and exasperating attempts at base running. The opening game on Mon- day next will see both teams at their best; Bob Caruthers and Doc Bushong and the German-American battery, Getzein and Bennett will represent St. Louis and De- troit respectively. On Tuesday Dave Foutz and Jack Boyle and Conway and Bennett, will officiate. Foutz has nearly recovered his old-time pitching skill, and if anybody has any idea Old Reliable Dave will not be in condition on Tuesday, let him go out tothe gaine and be convinced to the contrary. The sale of special reserved seats at Appler & Hodge's, 618 Olive street, and Lindell Hotel cigar store, is very large and they are going fast. The seats are located in the upstairs portion of the grand stand, on the south and east side of the stand. Those desiring them should get them at once, as there will be none left for late comers. The time of calling the world’s champion- ship games is causing considerable talk. The general opinion is that it would be best, in order to finish them on time, to call ‘‘game’’ at 3 o’clock, instead of 8:30, ag at present. The davs are getting short and President Von der Ahe will, no doubt, call the game, in re- sponse to the general demand, at3 o’clock. Cleveland Again To-Morrow. The Clevelands play the champions the sec- ond and next to last game in their final series at Sportsman’s Park to-morrow. The batter- ies will be Crowell and Snyder and King and Boyle. Play will be called at 3:30 p. m. Clips and Chips. Poor cripples; bring them home as soon as you can, Johnnie.—/ Boston Exchange. If everything turns out right President svrne will give the Brooklyn base ball lovers a surprise before long.—[New York Sun. Itissaidto be a fact that when the Mets were prepared to pay $50,000, the price set for the Detroits, Steurns raised the price to a prohibitory figure—$s0,V00. Walter Watrous says now thathe has no voice in the management of the Metropolitan Club -he is happy. Mr. Caylor willalso leave the club atthe end of the season. What will take place then is a question. Young players are going to bein great de- mand this fall. The League and Association will be chasing them with scoop nets, as they will compose the playing strength of these two leading professional bodies next season if the brotherhood continue obstinate, There is a good deal of talk going the rounds that Kelly willnot playin Boston next year. Itcan be authoritatively stated that Kelly will play in Boston ornowhere. Mike himself has said over and over again that he is thoroughly satisfied and could not have been treated bet- ter than he has been by the Boston Club, press and public.—[Boston Herald. Philadelphia ball players take kindly to pol- itics. A number of old-timers are in the police and mail departments, and some have even gone higher, as forinstance, Fulmer, who is now a police inagistrate at $3,000 per year for five years. Sensenderfer, the famous old Athletic center flelder, is aiso a prominent local politician, and has just been nominated for City Commissioner. In his case nomina- tion is equivalentto election; and therefore the ‘‘Count’’ has a sure thing in $5,000 a year for three years to come.—[Philadelphia ex- change. President Ward requests a suspension of public opinion in all cases where the Brother- hood’s motives and methods are quoted and criticised, as they will no doubt be systemat- ically misrepresented. Mr. Ward further says the Brotherhood will speak, and that, too, with no uncertain sound, at the proper time, and when the other side bas exploited its side of the controversy to the full and has ex- hausted its arguments. It may strike a good many people that it is in rather bad taste for Mr. Ward, to whom the columns of every paper in the country have been freely opened, to say that the Brotherhood will ‘‘be system- atically misrepresented’’ by the press.—[Ex- change. The financial showing of the Indianapolis Club for the season is about as follows: After the Leugue franchise had been paidfor and the expenses of organization, etc., been met, there was about $1,500in the treasury. Dur- ing the season $3,750 were spent in experi- menting with players. Notwithstanding this outlay andthe factthatthe club has been a disappointment, every dollar of indebtedness willbe met on October 15, and the balance on hand then will equal what the club started the season with. It will be necessary to secure new grounds next year, and this will be done; in fact, a tract has been practically leased and improvements to the amount of $5,000 will be putonit. It willbea better park than the presentone. Afund will beraised also for the purchase of new players. All of the pres- ent team willbe reserved, with the possible exception of Shomberg. Big Trotting. There was a splendid crowd yesterday at the race track to witness the big trotting pro- gramme at the Fair fall meeting. The un- finished big pace was closed up first and was won by Ed Annan with Mike Wilkes second. The big trot brought out Prince Wilkes, Harry Wilkes, J. Q. and Chanter. Prince Wilkes won on straight heats with Harry Wilkes second, The time was 2:17, 2:20% and 2:20. The Mississippi stakes was won by Sphinx with Pearl Medium second. A good day's sport is on the card for to-morrow, the closing day. Good Jockeys Scarce. Good jockeys are not plentiful, and Black and Blue says of them: ‘‘The rumors that Jockey McLaughlin will not ride for the Dwyer Brothers next season do not appear to be well founded. Itis quite probable that the Brooklyn turfmen would discharge McLaugh- lin if they could engage a jockey equally as good and one Whose moral reputation is above McLaughlin's. is, however, As turf{-goers as as turfmen know, a scarcity of good jockeys inthis coun- try. Garrison will no longer ride exclusively for one stable, as he has a dozen successtul horses of hisown. Murphy will not ride be- low 115 pounds. Fitzpatrick is not to be relied upon atalltimes. Hamilton is not the boy to fitin a pinch. Donahue has been charged time and time again with nofbeing an expert in the saddle, and Hayward is notabove criticism. Thereisno doubt about the assertion that good jockeys are scarce. -As long as the sup- ply does not meet the demand the Dwyera are likely to keep McLaughilin.’”’ Aylesbury’s Chattels Sold.
