By Telegraph to the Post-DIspatcn. ATHLETIC BALL GROUNDS, PHILADELPHIA, October 19.—The Browns and the Detroits played their ninth gameinthe series for the world’s championship to-day at this park. The weather was threatening ail morn- ing and there was a slight shower in the early part of the day, which did not, however, interfere with the game. At 2:30 0’clock the sky was laden with heavy clouds, which showed occasional symp- toms of a break, with a struggle now and then from the sun to show itself. Philadelphia is a very funny base ball city. At the hour indicated above, half an hour before the game began, there were about 500 people in the park. This, however, was no indication of the size of the audience when the game had gone asfaras the second inning Philadelphians like to come late to a base ball game and get in after the sport has begun instead of arriv- lug an hour before play is called and waiting to welcome the teams as they step on the field. The Athletics’ park is notas pretty an affair asthe Philadelphia League grounds, and its grand stand is not fitted up in as fine style. The field itself, however, isa velvety and level as A billiard table, and would look well were it not for the bald spots around the home plate and the diamond. The Detroits arrived early, and when the bell rang for them to practice Brouthers went out to first base. He said this morning that he would play in to-day’s game for a certainty, but the big fellow’s ankle is not better by any means. Inspite of the successive victories of the Detroit team the idea whole series is a hippodrome the minds of the people East, is ahippodrome the hippodrome had better begin pretty soon say, Presidents Von der Ahe and Stearns. THF BATTERIES Announced to-day,s game were King and Boyle for St. Louis and Conway and Ganzel for Detroit, THE BATTING ORDER. was as follows: St. Louis—Latham, 8b; O' Neil, 1.f.; Comiskey, Welch, c.f.; Robinson, King, p.

Asthe hour for the game approached the seats in the stands began to fill, but the house was not nearly as full as was the one at League park on Monday. It was estimated that there were about 3,000 people altogether in the stands. Gleason, lb; Foutz, 2b.; Boyle, RS.; . . C. Rowe, Dun- Con- THE GAME began with the Detroits in the fleld Gaffney to watch the plate and Kelly the bases. Bennett played first base for Detroit instead of Ganzel Brouthers giving up the attempt. FIRST INNING. For the Browns, Latham hit to first and was retired. Gleason got to first on four strikes, the last of which passed Ganzel, but was foreed by O'Neil’s hit to the pitcher.

For Detroit, Richardson stepped to the plate and struck four times at the ball, which Boyle missed, but recovered in time to throw to ret. Ganzel hit to Gleason and died at first base.

FOURTH INNING. For the Browns O'Neil made two strikes and then hit to Rowe, who flelded the ball over in clever style, retiring, the slugger.

Robinson flewoutto Richardson, and Con- way s assist put out Boyle.

For Detroit, Dunlap came to the bat, and after making numerous fouls, which should have been called strikes, he failed of his pur- pose and struck out, Bennett followed his ex- ample and Hanlon flew out to Gleason. SIXTH INNING. For the Browns, Comiskey hit to White, who made a splendid stop and threw him out at first base amidst applause for his pretty work. Foutz hit a high fly which fell into Rowe’s hands.

Boyle made a two bagger but Robinson was caught at third on an at- tempt to get there on the hit. For Detroit, Conway came to the bat and struck four times at the ball without hit- ting it. Richardson hit to Gleason, who caught him at first base by quick and accurate work, and Ganzel hit s long high fly, which Welch covered in ie inimitable style SEVENTH INNING For the Browns, King bit a hot one to Rowe, who flelded well and retired his man at first. White’s assist put out Latham at first, but Gleason made a clean hit between second and firat and then O’Neil followed with a dropper to Thompson which the slugger oaught like a doughnut. For Detroit Rowe made @ base hit right past Robinson who reached desperately for it, but the ball was too wide and u scraped his hand as itflew by like ashot. He was sent around to third by Thompson’s long single to center. Thompson stole second while Boyle was try- ing to recover the ball, Which he had dropped, and Rowe scored on White's sacrifice to Comiskey. The score was tied again by this play and Dunlap came tothe bat. He made four strikes and struck out. Thompson meanwhile had gone to third and he came home on Ben- nett’s long single to left center.

Wiener, Kan., October 19.—The Wichita Union Stock Yards were totally destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. About! O clock the watchman discovered flames in the east side yards. On rushing forward to try and extinguish them he was horrified to see another fire burning about one hundred feet An alarm was given and the Fire De- partment quickly arrived, but the flames had gained such headway that nothing could done, the cedar posts and tar roofing burning so flercely that water availed nothing. The first shipments of stock were in the yards and twenty-two steers, two horses and some hogs, besides hay and corn, were burned. The yards and hotel had only just been completed ata cost of $150,000, and were considered the best this side of Indianapolis, every foot being under cover. The hotel is not damaged, but where the yards were yesterday there is now nothing but ashes. The insurance on the yards only amounted to 520, 000, tho policies being written by the following com- panies: Franklin Fire of Philadelphia, $2,500; North British and Mercantile of London, $2,500; Orient of Hartford, $2,500; American of Newark, $2,500; Underwriters of New York, $2,500; Westchester of New York, $2,500; Imperial of “ye” $2,500 and Louls- ville Underwriters $2,500. No flre whatever was allowed about the premises and there would seem to be no doubt that the burning was the work of an incendiary. The yards will be rebuilt atonce. A Grocery Gutted. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratcn. CENTRALIA, III., October 19.—Fire broke out in R. D. Beaver’s grocery, about 1:30 this morning, in the McCord block.

HACKED IN THE DARK. A GIRL’S FEARFUL STRUGGLE FOR HER LIFE. A Masked Marauder Tries to Chop Mary Silligo to Death—Her Brave Fight Foils Her Assailant—His Desperate Attempts to Kill Her—Cut Five Timesin the Head She Shakes Him Off—A Thrilling Night Scene— An Arrest By the Police—A Former Em- ploye Jailed—Snspicious Blood-Stains—He Asserts His Innocence. No girl is ever called on to go through a more thrilling experience than that which befell Mary Silligo this morning. For several minutes she wrestied all alone with a desperate man, and when she escaped from his murderous grasp she was a bleeding and hacked piece of humanity. It was about 4o lock this morning that the girl, who is employed at August Ebinger’s dairy at 3841 Chouteau avenue, awakened from her slumber and saw a man entering the house through the kitchen. Her little bed-room led off from the kitchen, and the door between being open she could look from her bed into the kitchen. The man car- ried a lantern, but held it so low thatthe light did not fall upon his face. As Ebinger and three or four male assistants arise about Zz a. m. and pass in and out before day- licht, getting ready for their morning deliveries, the girl was not alarmed and turned her face to the wall for another snooze. There wasa SUDDEN BOUND OF 8TEALTHY FOOTSEPS ' and then with fearful force a heavy whip-stock fell upon her head. Stunned for A moment, the girl lay still. The brutal hands of the murderous visitor brought the club down for another blow, but it broke into. Just then the girl, recovering her senses, grasped the broken stick and cried: Mrs. Ebinger, aman is trying to kill me!’’ With a curse the man grasped her by the throat, but she shook off his hands. Justthen the light from the lantern on the floor showed the girl that her assailant was masked by a heavy handker- chief that had been placed under his hat and allowed tofallover his features. She made a grasp to tear the covering from his face, and struggled hard to rise, but he struck her down with his fist, and asshe straightened up again, she saw him draw a hatchet from his pocket. Then she felt a het blow on her head and then another and still another, and she was about to sink under them, but tue warm blood from her wounds flowed over her face and sroused her. Some way she man- aged to get to her feet and, all the wile screaming, fought her assuilant all around the room. WE FINALLY FORCED HER into the corner and then sue expected to be killed with the next blow ofthe hatchet. But the blows that fellon herthen were from the man’s fist. lie struck her half-a-dozen quick, short blows in the side and stooped to the floor as if searching for some- thing. Mary, with her senses sharpened by her danger, instantly divined that he had lost the hatchet, and with a wavering stag- ger made her way into and across adjoining room to the door of Mrs. Ebinger's room where that lady was, As her bloody hands fell tor support avainst the door she pleaded: Oh, let mein. Save me, Save mo.“ But Mrs. Ebinger, who had been aroused by the girl’s firstery, had thrown open the ein- dow, and was calling to the men whose lanterns showed dimly through the darkness as they worked about the stable sore distances o Shriek after shriek poured of the window, growing in in- as the sounds of the strug- in the other room grew plainer. Several times Mrs. Ebinger went to the door with the intention of going to the girl’s rescue, vut ench time she drew back fearful thatshe herself would be included in the work that was going on just outside her door. HELP AT HAND. By the timethe girl had reached the door and in the darkness was entreating ad- mittance, the marauder, whose mask was no longer white, but was all red with his victim’s blood, arose from his search onthe floor and made toward the girl agnin. In the faint Nghtshe thought he had found his weapon again, and she gave herself up for lost. But just then one of Mrs. Lhinger’s wild- est screams was answered D the men. The man turned from the girl and lis- tened intently. The sound of footsteps must have reached him, for, dashing the lantern upon the table, he glided out of the door. A FFaRFUL SIGHT. When the men reached the room and struck a licht they were horrified to find the girl bleeding from head to foot. Her white night-dress was saturated with 51004 and the floor was covered with red spots showing where she had staggered across the floor. Mra. Ebinger having come outof her re- treat at once summoned Dr. Barber who found that five cuts had been made in the girl's band, one cutting deep into the wrist and another nearly seyering the little finger. The wounds were ragged and showed that the Instrument was dull. Had it neen sharp, he said, either one of the head wounds would haye been fatal. As it was, he soon found that the wounds were not fatal, no fracture had been caused, and that she would recover. AN ARREST. As soon asthe gir!’s head had been bathed and she had recovered her senses, which she bad never entirely lost, she declared that her — was Llenry Wemken. lie had not yoken and she had not seen his tees, utshe asserted she could swear to his identity. Acting on this the police were notified, and Officers Pierson and Kennedy and Sergt. Keble of the Mounted District went to Wemken s boarding-place, Charles Tallenbach’s at No. 4000 Clayton road. He was found in bed, but the people ot the housesaid be had got in at about4o’clock. When the police entered his room he was very much surprised, apparently. When he stood up in the light he found he had blood on his hands. Asking to be excuseda minute, he went outand when he came back it was found that he had tried to WASII THE BLOOD OFF, but some stillremained. The sheetsof his bed were found spotted with blood. As these facts were disclosed the police felt satisfied they had got the right man and took him to the station. On the way — had to pass Ebinger's, and the police took him in to see if the girl could identify him. It was then about 6 O lock. The girl was lying propped up as heentered. Wemken str — walked up to her in a bold way and said Mary, you don’t mean to say hurt you.’ She looked him squarely in the eye aud ad slowly: ‘‘l would swear you did it. DENIES EVERYTHING. He was taken off at one to the station, where he was seen by a Post-DISPATCH reporter. He is a heavy- set, low-browed fellow, witb a villainous, treacherous look on his face. He is 23 years old, single, and had been driving a wagon for Ebinger up to three weeks ago when he was discharged. He denied all con- nection with the assault. He said he was out late attending the theater, and claimed to be able to prove his whereabouts. The blood on his ‘person he expiained by saying his nose bied during his sleep. e denied having any ill-will toward the girl, or any feeling that could prompt him to do ‘such an act.

Buildings Wrecked and People Injared— Lost in a Hurricane. PITTSBURG, Fa., October 19.—The first serious natural gas explosion in this city In two years occurred a few minutes after 10 o clock this morning in the Hotel Albemarle and Bijou Theater block on Sixth avenue. The explosion was attended with frightful in- juries toa number of people, and great de- struction to some of the finest property in the city. For several days past work- men employed by the People’s Gas Company have been engaged in re- pairing the pipes running into the theater and hotel. The odor of escaping gas was noticed early this morning, but for some reason, not yet explained, nothing was done to have the gas turned off. About 10:15 o’olock there were three terrific explosions simultaneously in the cellars of D. T. Reed, optician, Hotel Albermarle and the Bijou Theater. The concussion shook buildings for several squares and broke every plate-glass window in the block. Almost instantly flames shot up from various parts of the block, but before ory gained much headway they were controlled by the prompt work of the fire de- partment. A crowd quickly gathered to view the ruins. The Hotel Albermarle, the Bijou Theater en- trance and the shops which fronted on Sixth street between the hotel entrance and Library Hall, all were terribly shattered. An inves- tization showed that cight persons had been seriously hurt, two of them fatally, and at least as many more slightly hurt. The names of the seriously injured are: Jacob Dinger, gas employe, internally in- jured, legs and arms broken; recovery im- ossible. Thomas Scanlan, gas employs, adly burned; will die. Two colored men, an Italian and a German, whose names could not be learned, were terribly burned, but will re- cover. Fireman Gus Dalte waa badly cut and bruised. A large number of others sustained bruises and barns. The damage has not yet been estimated but will be very heavy. Lost in a Hurricane. PROVIDENCETOWN, Mass., October 19.—The fishing schooner Rebecca Nickerson sailed from here May 25 on a Grand Bank voyage,and has not been seen since the hurricane of Sep- tember 3, which caused so much destruction to the fishing fleet. and her owners have given ner up for lost. The remainder of the fleet have arrived safely. Large quantities of wreckave from some vessel were seen after the gale. She carried a crew of nineteen men. Death of Father Kerner. NEW Tonk, October 19.—The Rev. Father Kerner, pastor of the Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who was injured inthe ruins ofthe school-house he was building on East One Hundred and Fifteenth street on Monday afternoon, died at St. Francis’ Hospital this morning. THE CHARNLEY FAILURE. Efforts to Bolster U pa Ww eak Concern—As- sets and Liabilities. CHICAGO, October 19.—The assignment of Charles M. Charnley, the well-known lumber merchant, and the confession of judgments by Thomas Lovdall for over $1,000,000, were the terday. It was stated and believed that Charies M. Charnley and Thomas Lovdall were the members of the firm of Charnley & Lov dall, but this proves to be incorrect. That firm was composed, up to abouta year ago, of Walter H. Charnley and Thomas Lovdall. At that time Walter H. Charnley, who is a younger brother of Charles M., retired, but the firm name still remained the same. When Walter H. retired from the firm it was insolvent and had been so for a consid- erable period. The elder brother, Charies M., who was and is president ofthe Sturgeon Bay Lumber Company, was fully aware of the fact, and at once became the financial man- ager of Charnley & Lovdell without becoming an actual partner inthe concern. This he did for. two reasons—to attempt to put the insol- vent firm ona solid basis for the benefit of the Sturgeon Bay Lumber Company, which was its lurgest creditor, and to save the honor ofthe Charniey name and business reputation by preventing the failure of a member of the family. Charles M. Charnley entered into his tusk with zest and supported the sinking firm with all his private resources and those of the Sturgeon Bay Lumber Company. He failed tn his purpose, however, as his assignment and that of Charnley & Lovdali demonstrate. He also PULLED DOWN THE COMPANY of which he was president, wiich assignine:nt yesterday to William P. McLaren of Milwaukee. The creditors of both firms include a large number of bankers and note brokers with whom have been negotiated the paper of the duplicate concern. These, amounting in all to over $112,000, entered judgment Monday against Thomas Lovdall, und yesterday additional confessions of judgment were filed in favor of James H. Swan, $20,400, and Buekford, Knox & Co. $11,910. Late yesterday afternoon I.. A Carton and otherereditors of Thomas Lovdall filed a bill for the appointmentof a receiver. They say that their claims aggregate about $81,000, and that he has book accounts and other assets which cannot be reached under execution. Astipulation was filed by which Geo. H. Benton was selected as receiver. The Habilities of Charnley & Lovdall are between $180,000 and $190,000, with estimated assets of $120,000. The liabilities of the Stur- geon Bay Lumber Company are large, but cannot be definitely stated until the note transactions between them, Charniey and Lovdall are adjusted. It 16 stated by one of the lawyers inthe casethatit is dificult to see how more than 40 or 50 cents on the dollar can be paid to their creditors. made an CAME BACK TOO SOON, — — How Family Attractions Proved Destructive to Personal Ltberty.

THE DICKENS’ MEMORIAL.. I have a great admiration for Charles Dick- ens, but when it comes to raising the sum of $200,000 for the purpose of erecting a nemo- rial to him, I think it is quite time to draw the line. Dickens himself would certainly not have countenanced such extravagant folly, and I am much surprised to see that Mr. Walter Besant has undertaken to collect funds among literary men for sucha purpose, Itis said that some fatuous enthusiast has already subscribed $80,000 of the requisite sum. If this be so, Mr. Besant may well rest and be thank- ful. A SILLY COMPLAINT. Last week I heard a man who is obliged to be in town just now, uttering complaints be- cause there are so few people going about. This sort of trash is talked every autumn. When the notorious Duke of Queensberry grew old and was found asaticking to his house in Piccadilly, he was asked ifthe town was not rather empty, and replied: ‘‘Possibly, but the country is much more emptier.’’ CHAMBERLAIN AND THE IRISH. Silly as was the scheme of land purchase which Mr. Chamberlain propounded, his folly was exceeded by his attack on the Irish vote in America, He is going there to negotiate the arrangement of the fish dispute. The Presidential election is near at hand, and if the Irish vote is soinfluentlal as he asserts it to be, he should have taken care not to have ren- dered it more adverse than it is. Like many — who can speak, Mr. Chamber- lain does not know when silence is gold- en. After his Incon- siderate utterances, there is not the re- motest chance of his success on the other side of the Atlantic, and the money that „ his mission will cost My might as well be Sy -thrown away. But even Mr. Chamberlain sometimes blunders Joseph Chamberlain. into sense. At Coer- alne the other day, he said that the fate of Ulster must not be determined without con- sulting her. Certainly not; lam for consult- ing ere are two ways of doing it. you may take the vote of the Ulster Members of Parliament, or you may go direct to Ulster aud have a plebiscite; any plan will suit me that will suit Mr. Chamberlain. The Unionists have at length discovered something to con- gratulate themselves on. It is that Mr. Cham- berlatn got together audiences in Ulster to listen to him. This, they say, proves that Ulster is devoted heart and soul to the Unionist cause. The fact that there are a con- siderable number of Orangemen in Ulster seems to have come upon the Unionists as a pleasant surprise. I confess, however, that I had been under this impression myself for a considerable time. THE SITUATION IN IRELAND. Up to now we have scored heavily tn Ireland. There have been no outrages except the one which was got up by a policeman, and which resulted in the death of the inciter. At Mitch- elistown the police broke in upon a League meeting and shot some of those attending it, The inquiry hus proved the ruffianly and ille- gal action of the authorities. The League has been prociaimed in a great part of the island, but its meetings take place as though there had been no suppression. Thereis no disorder in any portion of Ireland, except that caused by the action of the police. Everywhere there is the glorious spectacle of a people banded together passively, to resist oppression and refusing to be goaded into active resistance because they are certain that right is on their side and that the victory of the masses over the classes is assured. Mr. Balfour is urged by the Union- ist press to devise fresh methods to put an efid to constitutional liberty. Let him try what methods he pleases, we, too, have not ex- hausted our resources. We shall meet him at every turn and show him and his allies that no laws which the Tories can forge, and no e- gality thatthe Tories can practice, will ever prevail against the united democracies of Great Britain aud Ireland.

Gladstone’s Irish Speech—Demands of the Radicals—Gen. Boulanger’s Relations With the Late M. Katkofi—Serious En- counter Between the Police and a Lon- don Mob—The German Crown Prince’s Birthday—Foreign News. Bpecial Cablecram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, October 19.—Gladstone’s Irish speech will be followed to-day by theenuncia- tion of the programme which I detailed to you fully on Monday, and which repre- sents a large advance on the Radical lines, the inevitable result to be the severence of the Whig wing on the home rule question. Some Radicals, however, are in- clined to think that the conference does not go far enough; that manhood suffrage and a larger infusion of social legislation should be included in the Nottingham programme. Gladstone’s speech yesterday was a brilliant reproduction of facts which go to show the utter illegality of the Government's course in Ireland. This is the re- sult of the searching cross-examina- tion to which Gladstone subjected Prof. Stuart on his experiences in Ireland. The Unionist press, of course, say that Glad- stone has now identified himself with the course of illegality in Ireland. This is a curi- ous misrepresentation, for the whole object of Gladstone’s speech was to prove that the Government is breaking the law, and that no sympathy could be meted out to law-breakers. Gladstone’s voice, as usual after along rest, was weak and husky at first, but gathered strength towards the close. THE RIOTS. The Socialists or semi-Socialist riots in Lon- don are attaining dangerous proportions. The special peril is that the genuine Socialists, who are talkers, are be- ing reinforced, as in February, 1836, by the worst class of London roughs, who stream westward in the afternoon to hold a series of sham meetings, ending in riotous pa- rades in Trafalgar Square and Hyde Park. The police are able to identify many ringlead- ers as well-known pickpockets. The gen- eral tactics are to disperse all the meet- ings or assemblies of people directly the disorderly faction get the upperhand. A very small number of genuine destitute work- inginen take part in these proceedings. The particular danger is on Lord Maayor’s day, when everybody is out of doors. A serious demonstration will be attempted. The object of the police, therefore, is to destroy the confidence of the mob by sharp measure. SIR CHARLES DILKE. Sir Charles and Lady Dilke have had an ex- traordinary reception from the Sultan. They were received twice in an audience at his wish. A special state banquet was given them, when all the ministers and the household were present. Dilke refused the Grand Cordon of the Medjidieh, but Lady Dilke accepted the Grand Cordon of the Chefakat, or the Order of Generosity and Fidelity. They were givenacavalry escort of the Sultan’s own Light Horse Guards. This extraordinary courtesy is largely due to Dilke's book on the present position of European politics. The Turks and Greeks vied in courtesies and hos- pitalities. A NEW EVENING PAPER. The new evening paper will be called the Star. The special object will be to work up Radical feeling on the home rule question. - — ä UNA HARE, The Beautiful American for Whom the Paris Police Are Searching. Special Cablegram tothe Post-Dispatch. Paks, October 19.—The police here are still in search of ‘‘La jolie Americaine,’’ Una Hare, who has disappeared so completely that M. Taylor, the Parisian prototype of In- spector Byrnes, has already hinted at sponta- neous combustion. She first made her debut here three years ago as Mile. Emily Chiorie, a gifted song-bird from the Rocky Mountains, who was, on the advice of friends, about to submit her talents to the refining influences of the Conservatoire masters. She soon gave up, however, and went into a sort of broker- age business with all sorts of shady gentry as clients. Though it does not appear that the lady was hampered by honesty in her enter- prises, yet she never seems to have met with great success, and on each recurring rent day was sold out. She seems to have been an in- exhaustibie storyteller, and never failed to bring tears into the eyes of her listeners when she related how she had been born to great estates of which the present Government had deprived heron account of political reasons. She could also, according to M. Taylor, make excelient gin cocktails and sing affectingly **Down on the Suwanee River.’’ England. THOUSANDS IN HYDE PARK. LONDON, October i9.—There has been no re- newal of demonstrations by unemployed workingmen to-day in Trafalgar Square, where only thé usual number of persons are gathered. In Hyde Park, however, thousands of the unemployed have congregated, though upto the present hour (1:30 p. m.) there has been no disorder. ANOTHER RIOT.

The former is even said to have promised to aid Gen. Boulanger to launch himself as dictator. Katkoff, who em- ployed Gen. Bogdanovich as an interme- diary, advised Boulanger to pay scant atten- tionto the Russianand German embassies, but to push on in the direction of war. Gen. Schweinitz, the German Ambassador at St. Petersburg, managed to intercept one of Katkoff’s letters and conveyed it to Em- peror William. The Einperor complained to the Czar, whe became greatly incensed when he beard ofthe affair and declared that he would never admit Katkoff to his presence again. The disgrace hastened Katkoff's death. DOM PEDRO. PaRIs, October 19.—The Emperor of Brazil, in an interview yesterday, said that he had no intention of abdicating his throne unless his health should become seriously enfeebled. At present he is enjoying good health, and his activity is unabated. Germany. THE CROWN PRINCE'S BIRTHDAY. BERLIN, Octobor 19.—All public and many private buildings were decked with flags yes- terday in honor of Crown-Prince Frederick William’s birthday.

BERLIN, October 19.— The Czar, on his re- turn to Russia from Copenhagen, where he is at present visiting his father-in-law, the King of Denmark, will travel by the wav of Berlin. The voyage by way of Warnemunde and Rostock is considered too dangerous to be made by the Imperial family. The Czar’s presence in Berlin will have no political sig- nificance. The Dominion. BAYARD’S REGRETS. OTTAWA, Ontario, October 19.—A dispatch from Secretary Bayard tothe Imperial Gov- ernment has been received here, in which Mr. Bayard expresses regret that the orders for the release of the Canadian sealers seized in Behring Sea were not delayed by the of- ficials at Sitka, and stating that fresh orders for their release have been given. A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. NAPANEE, Ontario, October 19.—Rose & Co.’s two-story frame shoestore and Rennie’s brick block, occupied by Lahey, McKinty & Co., dry goods, and J. H. Gallagher’s bookstore, were destroyed by fire last night. The Express printing oftice was also badly damaged. The loss is $40,000; insurance, * 25,000. — CARONDELET JOTTINGS. Items of Interest From the Southern End of St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. O’Brien of St. Paul, Minn., are the guests of Mrs. A. Pourcelly on Michigan avenue and Quincy street. The fog which prevailed here very heavily forthe greater part of the morning necessi- tated a suspension of work in the Iron Mount- ain Railroad yards. The fog was the thickest known here for years. Superintendent Gould of ths Carondelet Post-oflice made. another important change in the mail to-day. Since tiie change in the Iron Mountain tlme- table the mail will now leave for the city at 12 o’clock noon, and 5 o’clock in the after- noon. There are two collections and deliver- ies duily now. The mail is improving largely every day. The dramatic section of the Germania Turn— verein held its annual meeting yesterday af- ternoon at Turner Halil. Jacob Hup- pert was elected President, H. Hinsmann Secretary, and J. Knorr, Treasurer. Prof. Boetger and Will Feltmann were elected as sub-committeemen. It was agreed thatth section or club would give six entertainments at the above named haliduring the winter sea- son, Miss Jessie Purcell and Scott E. Shelley were united in wedlock last evening atS8o’clock, at the residence of the bride’s nother, 7405 South Broadway, Rev. L. Allen of the Presbyterian Church officiating. The affair was private, and the couple shortly after the ceremony proceeded to their new home on Michigan avenue. About 60’clock last evening a fight took place on Haven street, between Broadway anid the Iron Mountain Railroad. The contestants were Joseph Reynolds and his wife Anna, an unknown woman. It appears at the time that Reynolds’ wife had hired a wagon to move her household effects to more suitable quarters, for the purpose of avoiding her hus- band, who she claims is ver ‘‘irri- tating’’ and not ‘* ’sponsible’’ for what he does. However, it looked very much that Joseph was“ ’sponsible,’’ for when he came home and saw what his wife was doing he made a lunge at her witha knife and threat- ened to cut her heart out. The woman fied toaneixhbor’s house, where she took refuge, pursued by her husband. Finding that he could not get into the house, he contented himself with battering down the doors, which he succeeded in doing, to the gratification of his heart. Ky this time Omcer Lack appeared, and seeing the man standing inthe doorway with a knite in his hand, put him under arrest, Not, however, until he brandished his 38-caliber revolver in the darky’s face to keep him from resisting. In the Police Court this morning Justice Meegan fined him $10 and costs on a charge of disturbing the peace. BELLEVILLE, Mayor Stephens Fine $20 for Contempt ef Court—Other Items of News. Tne Canty city vault burglary case was re- sumed in the Circuit Court this morning. Several witnesses were recalled, but no new evidence was elicited and the case was then closed. An exciting episode occurred when Mayor M. M. Stephens of East St. Louis was on the stand. While he was being questioned by Mr. G. A. Koerner, one of the attorneys for the defense, he showed an inclination to tell more than he was asked. Mr. Koor- ner rebuked him several times for this and when be persisted in giving more infor- mation than was requested Mr. Koerner made the remark that he supposed the witness had been inatructed to get in all he could against the defendants „That is an infernal lie,’’ retorted the May- or, with much vehemenee. „ou are fined $20 tor contempt, sir,“ said Judge Wall. When the temporary excitement caused by this incldent had subsided arguments were then bexun. ‘The State-Attorney reviewed the evidence at length.

FRIENDS OF THE SCHOOLS OBJECT TO THE REDISTRICTING PLAN. John W. O’Connell Says It Is a Partisan Plan—UMe Champions the Cause of the Germans—Members of the Board Find Their Wards Will Not be Represented— Leo Rassieur Advises That No Eiection Be Held Under the Drabelle Law. The decision of the Circuit Court defining the fourteen new districts of the city for school election purposes, published in another col- umn, was discussed generally in legal circles this morning, and the expressions mainly were not complimentary tothe Judges. They naturally expected sharp criticism from the political elements and devoted many days of careful thought to the matter with a view to the adoption ofa plan that should be as non- partisan as possible. It was a prob- lem of considerable difficulty, and the Judges all felt that the Legislature should no have imposed the labor upon them, but that the new law should have contained a provision for the appointment of a commission. The German citizens were sizzling this morning and declaring that the Court had encouraged an attempt to extirpate the German element from the public schools government entirely. Avain, even some of the staunch Democrats, includ- ing several well-known Irish leaders, flatly denounced the whole scheme as a botch and said that in some districts an effort had been made to run the school government by aristocrats of Anglo- mania prociivities. Some of the directors of the School Board sized up theirown wards as rearranged and said that it was a huge gerryinandering fizzle. They compiained that the elements of the wards joined together were as incongruous as a Chicago marriage and that the people living in the outer wards would simply have no showing at all at the new Board but that the inner wards to which they were annexed would control each election. In some portions of the ecity a small ward with a German majority it was alleged had been tacked onto a large ward with a pro- nounced Irish vote and that the effect wouid be to swampthe people of the smaller ward and smother all their wishes in the educa. tional iine. LEO RASSIEUR, attorney for the Board, suid this afternoon: ‘‘T have not examined the plan adopted by the Judges and so cannot speak of my own knowledge as toits value. Ilowever, I have heard it severely criticised by mern- bers of the Board, Mr. Bornmueller said last night that his ward had been so tampered with that it will have no rep- resentation in the Board. Mr. O'Connell was very sharp in his criticism of the plan. a Democrat, but he ys the redistricting has been done ona partisan basis, and without re- gard to the school interests of the people. As mn instance the ward in which Mr. O'Connell lives is largely Irish and Democratic. is a ward adjoining it of the kind of people, and adjoining it other side there is a small German Republican ward, which has been attached to Mr. O’Connell’s ward by the redistricting judges, thus shutting out the small ward from representation. There are numerous in stances, according to the members, of. the disregard for the charac- teristics of the people. In instance two On an- one and a Ger- another case a large Dem- ward and a small Republican Ward are joined so that tie Democrats one of them suid to methis mornin:, could wlect a Comanche Indian if they chose. ’’ ‘What do you sup pose the re}: ite Ore in the mandamus proceedings will do now: Probably appeal. They may ae o that. I think if they do appealthe Board should not order an election under this Drabelle law, for the reason that it would costsevernl thou- sand dollars to have an election, and if the law was then declured unconstitutional, the members elected would be unseated and twenty-six new members would have to, be elected at a cost of sume thousands more.

How Old Sam Came Home. From Our Dumb Animals. In the city of Coldwater, Mich., thereisa large sorrel horse known by the name of Old Sam. He is the most popular horse in town. In his younger days he was used asan omnibus horse, and he and his mate, alarge bay, were so well trained thatthey would turn up to the principal hoteland back the omnibus tothe sidewalk to let the passen ing guided utall by the driver. One stormy night the train was late,and while waiting atthe station tor passenyers the driver fell asleep. Old Samand his companion, after standing about as long as usual, started up town on their own account, backed up at the hotel in the usual way, and then went over to the liv- ery stable where they were kept. When the war broke out the citizens of Coldwater equipped the Loomis Battery with some of the, finest horses that went into the army, and among them was Old Sam. He was in a great many battle butcame out nhurt, and at the close of the war the soldiers bought him of the Government and presented him to Gen. Loomis, who first commanded the batterv. On the return of Old Sam to Cold- water some of the peeple thought they would vive himareception. So they made ready his old stall, filling the rack with hay and the manger with oats; then they met him atthe raliroad station, and after greeting him witn three cheers turned him loose, and watched to see what he would do. First he went to the botel, where he used to stop for passengers, and looked around alittle. hen he went over to his ol home, walked into his stall, melt of the hay and oats, and gave aloud neigh, as it to express his satisfaction that everything was right, and then began eating, as if he had been u way only a few days instead of years, Ostrich Racing in Africa. From the Philadelphia Press. We were treated to an exhibition which was a novelty worth traveling miles to see—an ostrich race. Two little carts, the frames of which were made of bamboo and the wheels similar to those of a velocipede, weighing, all the gear included, thirty-seven pounds, were brought forth and four very large ostr.ches, trained to the business and har- nessed abreast, were attached to each one. The race-course was a flat plece of country about four and a halt miles in length; the distance to be traveled was four miles straight away and return. Ivo ot the smallest specimens of African humanity ever seen, less than four feet in height and weigh- ing about seventy-two pounds apiece, Bosjes- men, pure and simple, were selected as char- loteers, and all was ready. I bad been pro- vided with a magnificent 16-hands high En- «lish hunter, having a record placing him among the very best saddle horses of Cape Town, and was quarter way toward the turn of the course, pushing my fresh steed to do his best, when the teathered bipeds started, and before l reached the turn the ostrich chariots had passed ine, going and returning like a flash of lightning. 1 did see them, and yet so quickly did they vanish into distance that a pen picture, valuable for its accuracy » cannot be given. The time taken at the start ng point by several of the spectators was, tor the four miles and return, nearly nineteen minutes not very fast for ostriches, so they said, bu too rapid fos Euglish hunters, I — Tallor- Made — In fine English woolens, for men and youths, $12.50 to $15.

The blunders of foreign visitors always strike one as far more droll than they really are. It tickles the vanity to find intelligent people making mistakes about matters that to those to the manor born appear perfectly sim- ple, since to know so well what causes an- other to stumble seems to argue a must lofty intellect. And yet the errors into which strangers fall are usually logical enoagh. For instance, it was by no means strange that in a land where butternuts „bound an English girl shoulda make the mistake which so mightily tickled Bostonians last winter.

What the blazes do I want that for?’’ ‘Why, for charity, of course. ever give anything for charity?“ ‘*Oharity! What's this got to do with char - ity?’’ vou don’t mean to say the last fad hasn't struck you?’’ „Last fad—struck me—whatdo you mean?

It has pretty nearly laid me out, and if it comes my way any more I’m going into bankruptcy or into the charity business myself. I can make more money at it. THE TWO SPEAKERS were a couple of well-known young men and the object they were talking about was an in- nocent looking Ilttle card with the letter H printed on it. A Post-DISPATCH reporter came along about this time and joined in the examination of the card while the young man who was so anxious to dispose of it was trying to explain the very latest wrinkle in society and charity circles. You see it’s anew way of collecting money for charity purposes andit isa daisy. You can reacha whole community in about four deals with these cards. My sister told meall about it, that is as well as she could, afew days ago and gave mea G package for 10 cents and I. must get four Hs at a dollar apiece. There are alot of letters A, B, C, D and soon, each strikes four friends for 10 cents and those friends strike four friends for 10 cents, and it goes on that way until the last one has the privilege of paying $4 or some- thing of that kind, or of getting his friends to pay $4, don't you see? aud I’m one of the privileged characters.’’ The first young mun began to get tangled up and the second young man was muttering, ‘‘10 cents—four friends—privilege of paying 4. in a duzed sort of way when asiim Came wan- dering by and both friends tried to explain the scheme to him, and in five minutes the slim’s coliar-was flapping over his coatand he was staggering under an arithmetical strain that threatened to disarrange his bang per- manently, when he escaped with a card in his hand, and a dollar in the other man’s hand. THE FAD is the letter collection scheme which some shrewd down-easter has invented against the peace of society and for the benefit of churches and charitable institutions. It has permeated and disrupted, demoralized and exhausted the Don’t you Kast and now it has reached the Great West. It has dropped into St. Louis and threatens to get local society intoatangle of financial calculations which it will take a score of bauk experts to straighten out and which will probably engulf the pin money of the ladies, the bank balances of the business men, the weekly earnings of the clerks and the quarterly allowances of the young gentlemen of leisure. Itcreeps up on a happy circie of friends or on a congregation or a club, pounces on it and turns it into a collection agency where each member waylays every other member. Several St. Louisans became slightly ac- quainted with the fad while away for the sum- mer, and received a taste of its puzzling fascination. Now it has come in to and dines with them, spends the evening withthem and sits up nights with them. Itis in the schools, on the street cars, at receptions, bulls, luncheons, tennis games, everywhere and it has not more than Noone knows where he will run across a persistent littie girl, or a charm- ing young lady ora fascinating matron with a package of letters to distribute, and the haunting fear of unearthing aletter some- ‘where is estranging iriends and making the en fight shy of entertainments. ) THE PLAN OF COLLECTING MONEY Was brought to st. Louis by Mrs. George 8. rake and was put into operation recently or the benefit of the Nurses’ Training School for the purpose of collecting money to enable the institution to erect a building for a perma- nent home and to secure other things badiv needed by the school. Mrs. Drake explained the plan to her associates in the management of the institution, among whom are Mrs. W. H. Pulsifer, Mrs. E. R. Harris, Mrs, J. NM. Leete, Mrs. J. G. Chapman, Mrs. Chas. E Briggs, Mrs. Samuel Treat, Mrs. John Tiffany und others interested inthis admirable charity and they adopted it at once, and explained it In turn totheir friends, The scheme has just ‘been put in operation, but it has spread rap- idiy and is furnishing any amount of material for conversation and amusement, while it promises to do wonders tor an excellent wharity. A young lady, who was trying to explain the mode of operating the plan ata little gather- ing the other evening, took half an hour to do so, and then everyone of her hear- ers had a different version of it. and Startled their friends with still more compli- cated plans, but when once understood the plan is simple enough and possesses the virtue of being wonderfully effective. It consists of a simple package marked A, which is given in return for 10 cents to a person as a starter. “The receiver opens the package and finds four other packages marked B, which heor she gives to four others, collecting from each one 10 cents. Each one of these four packages contain four packages marked ©, making in all sixteen packages, for which a dime is received, and in turn each of these sixteen packages contains four others marked , which again call for dimes,making sixty-four, and so on throughthe alphabet. The increase is the multiplication of the preceding number of packages by four. The increase, it will be seen, is something enormous, and is simply the application of the oid problem of giving one cent for the first nail ina horse shoe and doubling it, only in this case the figure four is used as the multiplier. When the last letter is reached the recipient instead of collecting a dime 4 $l, No one else gives morethana dime While the aggre- gate of dimes is enormous each person gives - onty one and collects four. The holder of each letter pays over the collections to the holder of the preceding letter who in turn turns the proceeds overto the next predecessor until the original „ is reached when the amount is given to the general treasury. In some Eastern laces where there ure plenty of pe ple t is said the entire alphabet has been let loose on the communities, but the St. Louis managers have determined to limit each series tothe letter H,. but a simple calculation shows that in a limited series of this kind 16,384 persons are reached by the „1 packages alone, not to mention the number reached by the otber packages. The distribution of the work, each one havin only four persons to collect from, an the smaliness of the amount asked, makes the scheme popular. On the other band the cumulative character of the plan wives it a gét-there stroke which works Wonders in the way of collecting money. Starting irom a central person it spreads from the acquaintances of this person to the acquaintances ot her acquaintances, until an enormous circle is covered. A very few circles described by the alphabet as fur as the letter H would make nearly the entire popu- Jation of St. Louis contributors to the fund to be raised. THE LETTERS have been taken hold of by the ladies and by the school-giris with vigor and they are bring- ing in their tathers, brothers and young men friends,who are made workers in turn,and the Nurses’ Training-school will probably profit handscineliy. Few persons would retuse to contribute the small amount asked er to un- dertake to secure or pay four other contribu- tions, so° that the task is gen- eraiiy casy. The only trouble is that some popular gentlemen threaten to be fdooded with packages from energetic nnd persuasive friends andthe effort to un- load on his iriends may be as troublesome as unloading flat mining stocks. The positions of bank president and ef the popular young man in society promises to be onerous for awhile.

Since the fact developed that the wound in- flicted by Theodore Speler in the altercation with Casper Witte at 1113 South Eighth street yesterday morning is serious, the police have made a more careful examination of the facts, which it now appears will be ventilated ina trialfor murder in the Criminal Court, in- stead of a police court inquiry into the Indis- creet conduct of a too-persistent suitor. After having the wound dressed yesterday Casper, who had been at work al! the previous night, went to bed with his younger brother, with noideathatthe stabin his side threat- ened his life. On probing it Dr. Gregory found it dangerously near the heart. The facts of the altercation, as brought out by a thorough investigation, are these. After the Witte boys heard that Speier had taken hold of their sister on Broadway, they went out and met him on the sidewalk. They asked him why he had persecuted their sister with his attentions. Speier said he had a right to speak to her, and as he said this stepped toward his own gate, using an opprobrious epithet to Casper Witte in concluding his remarks, Witte then struck at him and Speier plunged his knife, which ne had in his hand at the time, into Witte’s side. This statement of the case is made by Annie Witte, who was a witness to the cutting. Among other things the girl’a conduct has been submitted to close examination. It ap- pears that'she frequently went down town at night and was believed by some of the neigh- bors on Eleventh street to be a telegraph operator. Nothing positiveis, however, said against the giri’s character. Her con- duct is a new feature in the case which Speier isnot particularly inter- ested in as it will in no wise better his posi- — to prove any indiscretions against the girl. At noon to-day Witte’s condition was con- sidered we critical by the physicians. Speier is still in ja The Mystery to Be Solved.

Magnificent Programmes and Superb Music —New, Interesting and Novel Features— Programme of the Music for To-night— Favorite Numbers—Nuggets From the Naves. There was as much of an audience as could be expected at the Exposition last night—that is to say the building was full from the gal- leries tothe machinery hall, and 1,000 more would have made the jam too great for the comfort of anyone. The special attractions advertised for the concerts had much to do with this enormous attendance, although the Expoai- tion without special features is by no means waning in public esteem. The morning and afternoon attendance show that. But last night Mrs. Georgia Lee Cunningham was ad- vertised to sing and could not. As Miss Le- titia Fritsch had done the night before, she disappointed a large audience on account of serious iliness. She sent a message to C. I. Sampson, the director in charge of the special musical features, to the effect that she would sing later in the week, and accordingly she will be placed on the programme for Friday, „ * — The programme of the concert last night was full of musical gems, some favorites and all good numbers. The overtureto the ‘‘Stabat Mater, the ‘‘Teil’’ overture, the ‘‘Elijah’’ chorus, He, Watching Over Israel, Slumbers not, nor Sleeps,’’ and the Bent-Ratfayolo duet, Miserere, from II Trovatore’’ were the principal numbers, and about them were set the smaller gems and encores till the pro- gramme glistened with points of brilliance. To- night the tone of the programme is lighter, opening with the Mendelssohn ‘‘Wedding March.’’ The solos are: ‘‘Cujus Animam,’’ cornet, by Charles Petit, who has been heard but once or twice during the evening concerts this season ;and ‘‘Angels’ Serenade, saxophone, E. A. Lefebre. Lefebre never plays without arousingthe enthusiasm of all musical people in the audience. He and Raffayelo have the tone, the manner of per- forming that touches the popular heart. Matus Ur, Lax and De Carlo are wonderfully successful, Dut they care more to surprise their auditors than charm them. It is well to remember that with the passing ofthree more days the Exposition will be closed for the season. The directors have been asked to continue the Exposition beyond the time specified in their published pro- ramme and contracts, but while this might 6 done they are of opinion that as heretofore the season should be closed on the day advortised. This is for the purpose of maintaining that novelty which is the essence of the Exposition’s popularity. To continue the present occasion would be to 3 — the season of next year. The attendance hus been wonderful through- out the forty days and the receipts will ex- ceed those of 1886 by $10,000 or $12,000 in spite of the great success of last year’s Exposi- tion. 88 a 4 * * * Every one has been interested in the bride and groom of T. B. Boyd & Co.’s ‘‘Iloney- moon,’’ and the question whether they are flesh or wax has been a puzzling one. The pretty bride has been the cynosure of all eyes since the opening of the Exposition and the opinions as to her composition have been wideiy different. The puzzle will be solved to-morrow night when the bappy pair will maketheirbowto the public onthe etage of Music Hall. There have been some wagers on the subject and the Gdenoucwent will be inter- esting. . * * There was one peculiarly interesting inci- dent connected with the concert last evening. It was the presence of the venerable Henry Shaw, who rarely ever goas out after nightfall, but whose desire to hear the monster band underthe leadership of his friend Gilmore overcame his aversion to night air and drew him to the Exposition. Mr. Shaw is in his 82d year and when he entered the hall and was conducted to the box which was occupied by the President and Mrs. Cleve- land the audience applauded enthusiastical- ly, and Mr. Gilmore appropriately acknowl- edged the compliment. in the party accoin- panying Mr. Shaw were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dimmock, Mrs. Edom and niece, Judge J. C. Normile, Messrs. Jos. Franklin,Jas. E. Kaime, Geo. I. Barnett, D. S. McAdam, Mrs. Gilmore and Miss Minnie Gilmore. * ° * The second part of to-night’s programme in Music Hall will be furnished by the Lieder- kranz under direction of Egmont Froelich and Gilmore's band. There will be four vo- cal numbers, the band accompanying the male chorus. Ernest Kroeger's Cradle Song, which has become as popular as Lahmo, will be played by the band the last time until Satur- day night, when the ‘‘Boulanger Patrol,’’ the Raffayolo-Bent duet, and all the favorites will be given place onthe programme.

THE PRESIDENTIAL TRIP. The Party to Return to Washington To- Morrow—No More Stops. ATLANTA, Ga., October 19.—It is officially stated that the President’s special train, which is expected to leave Montgomery at 1 o’clock to-morrow, will make no stops on its ay to Washington, except possibly at Ashe - ville, N. C., where it may tarry fifteen min- utes. Astatementto the contrary has been made with regard to many placesalong the way, but the people who may be brought together by such announcement will be disappointed, The train will run slowly, as heretofore. wherever people are gathered to see the President, but the public demonstations of the trip will positively end to- morrow with the possible exception named, The Presidential party breakfasted with Senator Colquitt at 10 o’clock this morning. There were about thirty other guests, in- cluding most of the people of note in town. The party is expected to dine with Senator Brown and his son, Mr. Junius L. Brown, at the residence of the latter. The Principal event announced for to-dav is the military parade and shum battle, but the mud and rain threaten to interfere with it. The crowds are somewhat thinned out this morn- ing, but the famine in town continues. It Is just learned that the engineer in charge of the engine which runs the dynamo of the President's train, was arrested last night bysome over-eflicient policeinan and spent the night in jail. He is as honest a man as ever pulled a throttle and has commended himself to several members of the party by the pluck exhibited in rescuing them from the embrace of the crowds several times as the train was about to start. Last night was the first time he had ventured away from the train since it left Washington. Measures have been taken to set him at liberty nt once. The churches were opened last night and were crowded with people who had no other piace to sleep.

A FADED FAIRY CALLED UPON TO ANSWFR BEFORE THE POLICE COURT TO-DAY. Mr. smith Makes a Facetious Defense toa Charge of Vagrancy Before Judge Cady To-Day—A Quiet Trial, With Remarkable Coincidences—In the Meshes—A Widow's Plea for Clemency After Her Arrest for Disorderly Conduct While Drowning Her Sorrow. The arraignment of May Edel was awaited with sager expectancy by the audience in at- tendance at the session of the First District Police Court this morning. Published ac- counts of her arrest pictured her as an irri- descent vision of beauty and hinted that when her proud spirit could no longer bear the indignities put upon ber she wouid shock and shatter the social world with the story of a woman’s wrongs at the bands of men in high places hereabouts. The expecta- tions of the crowd of Police Court officials and hangers-on fedto a flame by the fringe and tinsel reports of a morning paper were damp: ened this morning at the docketing of the case When the fairy form of the bejeweled heroine materialized in the powder- smeared person of May Edel, an inmate of Mme. Norton’s disreputable resort on North Tenth street. The prominent railroad man, who was supposed by those unfamiliar with the facts of the case ex- cept as learned from the glowing report to be the confidant and Western adviser of Garrett, Gould, Sage and the Wall street kings was dis- covered to be a ticket-broker. According to the facts as presented to the City Attorney the couple fell at variance over an indebtedness of $20, the woman charging that the money mys- teriously disappeared with the ticket-broker under circumstances which she thought justi- fled her in holding thé debt against him. In the prosecution of her claims for the $20 her visits to the man’s place of business be- came annoyingly frequent and the fact was re- ported to the police. On instructions from headquarters the woman was errested by De- tective Hobbs on a charge of being an inmate of adisreputable house. She will be tried on next Monday before Judge Cady, when anew experience will be added toa career marked by several borsewhipping adventures in the streets of Cincinnati, where this notorious woman formerly lived. A FACETIOUS DU FENDANT. Whoever Walter H. Smith may be, or what ever the story of his life, he is determined to keep to himself. When he was shown to the detendant’s chair in the First Dietrict Police Court this morning he returned a short, easy bow to the Marshal in acknowledgment of the courteous invitation to seat himself, and with an ‘unconcerned leer over hs shoulder watched the effect of his silent humor on the perplexed oflicial. No one seemed less deeply interested in the proceedings on hand, though his liberty was the queation atissue. He seemed to be quietly amused at the reading of the information, discovering something humorous either in Clerk McEnnis’ elocution or the selemn wording and repeti- tions of the legal instrument which jeopard- ized his liberty, but failed to disturb his pig bet eno Alter tue hearing bad progressed atew moments, Smith's interest centered on the witness testifying against him. The gen- tieman said white walking along the street he saw the defendant put his hand into the pocket of a drunken man and transfer there- from a pocket fullof silver to his own. He then approached the derendant and took him in charge, but was unable to hold the drunken man until the officer arrived. At the conciu- sion ef the testimony for the State Judge Cady turned te the defendant and asked: ‘*W hat have you to say to this?“ ‘*’Tis true as holy writ,’’ replied the de- fendant, still undisturbed. Have you any questions you wish to ask?’’ es. Mr. Witness, you did not know that the gentleman you saw in my company and in liquor was the friend of my youth, and that. the little occurrence which you regarded 80 suspiciously was the friendly negotiation of a loan? If you know anything tothe contrary | please inform the Court.’’ The witness was ratner disturbed by this line of examination, and replied that he had no further facts to present. After the witness was dismissed the Court informed the defendant that any facts he might introduce concerning his identity would be duly weighed. In a disjointed story the defendant began the relation of his wander- ings, which was interrupted by an inquiry from the Court, ‘‘How long did you reside in Jefferson City?’’ was never inthe penitentiary in mylife,’’ was the reply made with promptness, which the defendant regretted a moment later when Judge Cady assessed a une of $100 and costs against him.

The de- fendant isa deaf mute. The complainant was Private Watchman Johnson, who discovered Brown wandering ulong Fourth streot at an early hour, afew days ago, carrying a pair of stolen opera glasses in his coat pocket. On coming upon the prisoner’ the officer was in some doubt as to whether he had a genuine case or was simply experienc- Ing one of those peculiar parallels of thought which occur to men. Under the same cir- cumstances, time of night and place, Johnson arrested the same prisoner with the same stolen property in his possession about a year ago. When taken to the station the defendant could not account for the glasses and was accordingly locked up. He had not obtained a good ac- count for the possession of the second pair, and on trial to day was fined $i and costs as a vagrant and sent to the Work house in default. IN THE MESHES. Alfred Burke is involved iu the meshes of the law. Early in September he was arrested by the police for idling, and on the 22d a fine of $500 was entered up es him.

They have completed the new organization under the name of the American Order of Steam Engineers.

Efforts will be made to extend the order throughout the United States and ulti. mately to forma national organization. Itig wea believed that the steam engineers everywhere —~ will join the movement without much urging, COMEDY AND TRAGEDY, A Great Professional Base Hall Match Ane nounced for To-Morrow. Comedy and tragedy will meet on the @ia- mond to-morrow, and will struggie for the theatrical base ball championship. The per- formance will not bear any resemblance to the base bail farce which is now being played around the country by the Browns and Detroits. This will be real ball and for blood. The match will be between the nines of the Florence Company playing at the Olympie and of the James-Wainwright Company playing at the Grand. W. J. Florence saw a game out West some- where the other day, the first game of base ball be ever saw in his life, and be is nova wild crank on the subject. The first thing he did when he met John Norton at the theater was to usk him if he knew anythin about base ball. Mr. Nogon conceale the fact that he had only seen one game in five years, and attempted to tell Mr. Florence ullaboutit. Mr. Florence asked if the game Was not very much ke town ball, in which he said he Was an expert at one time, and Mr. Norton said yes, that in both games the alm of the men was to hit the ball with a club and run around the bases, but he thought that in one case a man was out t the bail hit him, andin the othercase the players caught the ball, or did something of that kind, he didn’t exactly know which. Then Mr. Florenee recalled @ famous gate of ball at Merapnis, in which he participated with eclat. He threw the bali 500 yards or so and hit poor Carle Patti, but Patti denied that he had been hit, when poor Barney MeChuiey picked up the bali and harled 6 af Patti with suen force and in such a direction that Patti had to stand up and direct the orchestra fora week. te said he never would game.Mr.Floronce said that all of his boys we is ae forget the way that McCauley registered in rere ; 10 enthusiasts, and had knocked the Minneapol Ciub and several other clubs out, and could — up the ground with any professional club. This talk of Mr. Florence came to the ears of Mr. James, aud he said that his company could clean out Florence's in three Innings and sothe match was made up.

The Virginia State officers imprisoned by United States Judge Bob for contempt have been released by Chief-Justice WaITrF on their own recognizances in the sum of $1,000 each to await the decision of the Supreme Court in the case, As they were public officers charged with public duties, the Chief-Justice said the presumption was that they were actuated by a desire to obtain a decision of the Supreme Court on the question at issue rather than by a purpose to manifest contempt for the court below. This view of their course recognizes the fact that, as State officers, sworn to obey und enforce the State laws, and at the same timetoobey and support the Con- stitution of the United States, they could with propriety and safety leave the ques- tion of conflict tothe United States Su- preme Court only. State officers are as responsible for 1 8 a? States law as any private individuals, and infractions of United as individuals are subject to all the proc- esses of the United States Courts, while as State officers they are charged with the duty of enforcing State laws until the same are pronounced unconstitutional by competent judicial authority. When Gov. QUITMAN of Mississippi was indicted in the United States Circuit Court at New Orleans in 180 fora violation of United States law in setting on foot or niding and abetting an invasion of Cuba, some of the extreme State Rights people that if the United States Courts could ar- rest him, they could refuse bail and thus stroy State Governments. authority and United States law. over he demonstrated the purely imagin- ary character of the dreaded conse- quences by resigning his office and going intact, and the case against QUITMAN was afterwards dismissed. There was no question of a conflict be- by a State law to do anything contrary to constitutional State laws. It was insti- tuted for that very purpose. If it pro- nounces the Virginia coupon § statute unconstitutional and holds that Judge Virginia officers must either obey his man- date and cease to enforce that law, or go to juil for contempt.

NEW York, October 19.—The Wortnp says: Paylug large premiums to bondholders isa better use of the surplus than to keep it locked up in the Treasury.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Your success in advocatng reform in va- | rious public measures, such as the ice pool, the dust nuisance, etc., prompts me to ask your efforts to remedy the street car nuisance, such as overcrowding and jamming people together like a lot of cattle lu a freight car. The various street car companies of st. Louis seem to run their lines on the same principle that four-fifths of the men in business run their stores; viz.: they will keep certain goods if they bave the demand (though the difference between them and the _ rail- roads is that the railroad companies have the demand, but they don’t care for it prop- erly). The proper business policy is to keep | the goods, show them, and let people know | you havethem and thus tempt them to buy | them.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, October 19.—At an early hour yes- terday morning the unemployed in large num- bers began to assemble in Adelaide, King William and other streets adjacent to Trafal- gar Square, where a very large force of police were stationed, Soon attempts were made by the crowd to get into the Square, but all their | Large meetings | efforts proved unsuccessful. were held in Adelaide street, and very incen- diary speeches were made till about midday, when the police commenced making sudden onslaughts on the crowd, whom they thought could be the leaders. Shortly after midday, complaints having been made about the almost com- plete estoppage of the street traf- fic orders came from Scotland Yard to clear thenelghborhood and soon the dense mass of square was very much thinned out. known thatthe leaders of the demonstration | had gone to Hyde Park and at once there was | About 1 o’clock _ derwriters had a meeting Monday and again a general movement there. an excited crowd thousand persons had assembled in the park to the left of the Marble Arch. A meeting was at once extemporized. A man of the name of George presided, and resolutions were immediately moved con- demning the action of the police. A speaker named Walker asked why they had been pre- vented from going into the square. The square, he contended, was theirs, and although they did not intend to go there again, yet they were not going to be frightened by a few helmeted police- men. Aman named Allmann then addressed the crowd, and he, like others, spoke from the top of a table which had been carried into the park. Some one in the crowd called out that he could perceive something under his coat. At once the speaker took from under his coat the beacon staff of the banner which he had of over two | carried Monday. That is the weapon,“ he exclaimed amid loud cheers, ‘‘with which I intend to defend myself against the police.’’ He did not care who knew that he hadit, or Continu- ing, he referred to Monday’s deputation to the Lord Mayor. He said as their request had been refused they would assemble on the embankment near the hotel of Lord Mayor- elect DeKeysers on the 9th of November, the day of his investiture, and that they would re- ceive the Lord Mayor WITH HOOTS AND GROANS. The succeeding speaker was a man named Oldham. He also held up a formidable look- ing stick with which he said he should protect himself against the violence of the police. Resolutions were then put and carried amid | great enthusiasm, Then George again mounted | the table, and pointing tothe body of mounted police who were stationed at the corner of Park Lane, exclaimed that they were posted there to prevent them returning to the city by Ox- ford street or Piccaailly. As, however, they, the unemployed, had just been informed that the police were still in possession of Trafalgar | Square, they would not attempt to go back there, but would amuse themselves by march- ing through Rotten Row. Ihe flag, which now consisted of only a small piece of red rag, fixed on the end of a broomstick, was placed in front of the procession and the crowd moved off inthe direction of the Row. They were accompanied by haif a dozen constables, but beyond a little howling, no notice was taken of them. Considerable excitement was, however, caused when it was seen that the body of mounted police were galloping round the park to intercept them. The procession- ists, nevertheless, maintained their course until the police had actually headed them. Then with cheers they wheeled to the right and proceeded inthe direction of Bays Water toad. ‘The police, fearing that the mob would pillage the shops inthe neighborhood, shut the great gates of the park. The infuriated and made a dash forthe small path which led up to one of the little gates. Great difficulty was immediately expérienced in get- ting through so small an opening, and the consequence was that the passage was quickly | blocked by A STRUGGLING MASS OF MEN. At this moment a bodyof police galloped up on the other side of the railings and formed across the road. A few seconds later, without any reason being apparent to the by- standers, they charged turough the gate on the struggling crowd. Ascene of indescriba- ble confusion followed, The crowd fell back one on another, the disorder in their ranks | increasing at every moment. Some ot the unmounted police charged with staves in hand down the pathway. Those of the crowd who had the oppor- tunity scattered in all directions, the park gates being again opened. A man was seen bearin«w the flag was chased by the police. He, however, handed the flagto a youth, who dashed away with it across the park. During the conflict several men and constables were seriously injured. Several arrests were made. Among those arrested was one of the leaders, the man named Oldham. I learned at St. George's Hospital that the lives of two of the Injured demonstrators are despaired of. The un- employed were very busy last night in pre- paring for another demonstration in Hyde | Park to-day. The artisans are openly in vited to assemble atthe Marbie Arch at mid- | dav and to bring arms with which to resist the police. ‘‘Why, they treat us just as if we were h’ignorant h’Irishmen,’’ was the agitator George's somewhat amusing comment on the day’s proceedings made in my presence last Popular opinion is not all on the side made by the mounted police on the meeting in the park yesterday as a flagrant abuse of power. Certainly it was an unnecessary ex- hibition of it, asthe unemployed have shown the greatest willingness in yielding quickly before the police platoons, which they are well aware it would be FOLLY TO RESIST. The collision, so-called, which took place at the little gate leading out into the Bays Water Road, yesterday afternoon, was solely occasioned by the fact thatthe gate is a very narrow one, not permitting three people passing abreast, and that there were some two thousand people endeavoring atone timeto pass through it. The advan- tage which the nature of the place gave the police was speedily seized by the latter Who, weary with the life which the unemployed led them during the past week, quite lost their pa- tience. As was the case Monday evening, 30 lust night Trafalgar Square was desolate and surrounded by a cordon of police who refused admittance to tne evictea. The Pall Mail Gazette published a let- ter last night from Mr. Piunkett, First Commissioner of the Board of Works, in which he says that this new species of eviction is illegal.

Items of Interest From the City Across the Great Bridge. Extensive improvements are being made in the village of New Brighton, which lies con- tiguous to the Eastern limits of the city. Since its incorporation a year ago the growth of the village has been remarkable. The Government is now having seyeral new streets graded and the principal thoroughfares graveled. The authorities of East St. Louis are beginning to fully realize what a valuable addition it would be to the city, and its an- nexation by the Council will be bitterly contested inthe conrts. The New Brighton authurities claim that the annexation was notlegal and will resist the attemptof the city government to embrace to the bitter end. It is understood that the City Council, realiz- ing that the Starkel case will prove an un- satisfactory test of the legality of the annexa- tion, will, before the spring election, declare New Brighton to be the Fifth Ward of the city, and it is said tobe the intention of the present administration to put up Ferdinand leim, Sr., and Jerome W inatanley as candidates for aidermen in the mowly created ward. The reasons why the residents of the village are so strongly op- posed to its being taken in by the city is the deplorable condition of the city’s finances and the big tax which will have to be imposed during the coming year to pay off the bonded indebtedness. The New Brightonites claim that their village receives no benefit from the contraction of this indebtedness and vonse- quently it would be unjust to require them to help liquidate it. As it is now, the tax which property-haders in New KErighton will have to pay during the coming year will be very licht. The tax derived from tbe railroads which ti averse ter- ritory embraced in the village will be aimost sufticient revenue for all purposes, and hence the levy ordered by the village trustees will be very low. Mr. Jobn B. Lovingston, one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of New brighton, and to whom has been en- trusted the monagement of the legal fight bo- «un by the city, stated this morning that the village government was there to stay until the highest court in the land had decided that the village had no existence.

A HOWLIN THE NAVY, Commodore Walker Takes Advantage of Hig Position to Dock Two Captains, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., October 19.—It was learned yesterday atthe Navy Department that Commodore J. G. Walker, United States Navy, Chief of the Bureauof Navigation, and at present acting Secretary of the Navy in the absence of Mr. Whitney, had issued an official order to the paymaster on board one of the war-ships now at Newport, presumably the flagship Richmond, to. check against the salary of her commanding officer, Capt. Robert Boyd, the sum of $126.80, the amount paid by that officer for pilotage up and down Delaware Kay and River during the fleet's ro- cent visit to Philadelphia, It is also reported that Commodore Walker has checked asimilar amount against the pay of Capt. Bunce, United States 22 who took a pilot up the Delaware while on his way to Philadelphia to partict- pate with the Atlanta in the Centennial ex- ercises. The North Atlantic squadron was or- dered by the Navy Department to proceed to Philadelphia, and had but little time to do 16 in. It is claimed thatthe weather was hazy and stormy when the Delaware Bay was reached, and naval officers say had Capt. Boyd and Capt. Bunce attempted to make the Hundred-Mile route from the Delaware break water upto Philadelphia without a pilot they wouid not have reached Phila- delphia in time for the Centennial exercises. Pilotage comes under the appropriation of the Bureau of Navigation, of which Commodore Walker is chief, conses quently the vouchers for payment of the Rich mond’s pilotage were submitted to that omeial in his cupacity as chief of the Bureau of Navi gation, and by him disapproved. To mak nis disapproval lavtul and binding r aired the final action of the Secretary of the Navy Mr. Whitney being absent, r.

By Telegraph to the Post-DIspATCnH. PHILADELPHIA, October 19.—The St. Louis Browns are the champions of the world yet but the prospects are that they will not retain that very interesting title long. To use an old figure, their goose is about cooked.They have yielded to the prowess of the Detroiters in St. Louis, in Detroit, in Pittsburg, in New York, in Philadelphia and in Boston. How will they fare in Philadelphia and in Washington? There is still a spark of hope, but it is so small, so faint that its light is scarcely discernible in the thicken- ing gloom of the prospective. The Browns deserve censure. They are not playing their game. Latham and Caruthers, excepted they are doing nothing. They walk on the field de- feated men before a blowis struck, and then when they return they cry like babies. They have weakened, and a miracie only can re- claim them. to-day,’’ said Latham after yesterday’s con- test, if the affair could be called a contest. „Tue men were like a lot of amateurs ina vacant lot, continued he. ‘‘I never saw them go on like that before. It made me sick. It disgusted me. Itmade me wish I was dead. We were aregular custard pudding for Detroit and they ate us withoutany sauce. We are not ball-players, we are chumps.’’ Of all the ‘eam, Latham and Caruthers arethe only two who have the courage to talk, and as they are the only ones who are doing good work, their words are those of disparagement, of reflection on the rest of the team. CARUTHERS, who was so anxious to pitch the whole series, has caught the infection of weakness and he announced last night with some vigor that he would pitch no more successive games. rg | can win from them every other day, said he, but I'm not made of iron. I'm aman and, I can’t do the work. President Von der Ahe does not seem to be heart-broken over the defeat of theclub. He does not seem to realize that the series is al- most won and that he has as much as lost the title of which he was so proud. But his solace lies in the receipts, which have been big, At Philadelphia on Monday the audience touched on 8,000, and the money taken in at the gate ageregated $5,470; at Boston yesterday the attendance was some- thing «ver four thousand and the net receipts, after all expenses and percentages were de- ducted, footed up $38,200. These are the things that have poured the balm into the boss President’s wounds and haye blinded him to the real cause of the club's weakness. ‘‘What is the matter with the Browns?’’ is the ques- tion asked everywhere. The question is easily answered, THIS IS WHAT THE MATTER IS: It is gambling. At 8 30 p.m. every Detroit player is in bed. The Browns stay awake all night gambling and fighting and squab- bling over the cards. In a recent game Caruthers lost $50, and he was so excited over the loss that he dashed down the pasteboards and cursed the man who invented them.

President Nimick of the Pittsburg Leagues was in consultation with resident Spalding of Chicazo about the purchase of Capt. Anson, but ut last accounts it was a case of the Arab und his steed, The Detroit Tribune quotes Von der Ahe as suying: This controversy about who is the best catcher in the profession is now Well settied in my mind.

He can outthrow, outbat and backstop better than Bushong.’’ President Stearns of the Detroits is confi- dent that bis team will win the world's cham- pionship. ile savs: **Caruthers is the only the Browns have that troubie us.’’ Alter yesterday's gains even that trouble was taken away from the Detroits. Elmer Foster, the center flelder and heavy hitter of the Minnenpolis Club, is thought to be the greatest catch of the season, and there is a great scramble for him. During the past week agents trom nearly every leigue and association have been in Minneapolis to se- cure this player for next season. Emil Gross caught in 84 championship games for the Providence Club in 1880. Mack of the Washington Club leads the catchers of the Season just closed with 75 games to his crodit. Miller of Pittsburg ranks second with 73 games; then come Daly of Chicago, 62; Clements, 57; Ganzel, 51; Tate and Myers, 48 each; Flint, 46, and Bennett and Brown, 45 each. When Anson went to the plate in the first inning with Cincinnati at Chicago he was pre- sented with a diamond stud which cost $300. Atcompanying the gem was a card bearing the inscription: To the boss captain and best manager in the League, by his friends. The captain took off bis hat, bowed in gratitude, faced the pitcher and whacked the ball down through center field for a home run.—[Chicago Tribune, A Rochester man wants to see the League clubs handicapped so as to make them more even. If the strong clubs were properiy handicapped in percentage at the beginning of the season, ne maintains, the interest would be more intense. As the club of each succeed- ing year is not the same as the one before, itis hurd tosee how any handicapping could be made richt. Thechange of a single man will sometimes change aciubfrom the weakest to the strongest. Michael Angelo Kelly cost Boston $19,000 and he has been worth $50,000 to the management. According to the averages he is the poorest right-flelder in the country, but then he knows how to hit the ball and run bases, and he bas drawn the crowds. Next year he will be less beautiful, but more use ul; in other words, he will céase to be a star and become a ball-player.—|[Indianapolis Sentinel, The av- erages do havea wuy of taking the twinkle out of a great many stars.

But there is another thing. Some of the players have been making fools of themselves with strong drink. Club rules are stringent. ‘They absolutely forbid gambling of any kind or drinking of any kind, and it ls no wonder that there exists a total disregard for these rules when the captain himself endorses their breach by participating in the breach himself.

A great many St. Louis people agree with this observation by the\cincinnat! Enquirer: ‘*All ot the St. Louis Brown’s proverbial good luck seems to have left them Detroit now seems to have a large share of the article.’’ But this remark which follows immediately puts a new face onthe series’ result: John Rolly is an out-and-out League man. No won- der the Browtls are getting the worst of the umpiring in their series with Detroit.“ This shows thatthe Browns have apologists away from home and that in the most bitterly jealous town the Browns are not considered such bad fellows after all. No ball player ever had a bigger hold on the patrons of the Cincinnati Club than old reli- able John Corkhill. He holds a big corner on the hearts of Cincinnati enthusiasts, who like good play and earnest Yesterday afternoon in the seventh inning he came out of the club-house and crossed the lot with his traveling bay in his hand. The crowd caught sight of him and broke loose with cheers. There were cries of biess you, John,“ and Come back soon, John.

In March, 1884, Jack Dempsey fought Billy Dacey when both were in the light-weight class. Dempsey won then.

Dacey soon turned his attention to in-fighting. Rushing at Jack he would clinch bim, and at short-arm fighting showed himself an adept, keeping up a continuous tattoo with both hands on Jack's ribs. Jack would cleverly avold these rushes at times, and as Dacey came toward him would make as if to 2 away. Then like a flash he would turn side- ways and let go his left on Dacey’s face as he passed in his rush. up all round the ring until he succeeded in getting near enough for a clinch, and then there would be a terrific rally, one doing as good work as the other.

At Cincinnati Sunday Tommy Ward, a Chi- cago feather-weight, and Jack Conners, a car- riage worker of Cincinnati, fought four des- perate rounds with two-ounce gioves. Atthe endof four rounds of fighting Conners was so badly used up that he was unable to stand on his feet, and the fight and money were given to Ward Dy the referee. The mill from a ‘‘fighter’s’’ standpoint was one of the best ever seen. Ward had the best of it from the startto the finish. He knocked Conners down no fewer than seven times and punished him terribly about the face. Conners, onthe other hand, was unable todo anything at all with Vard, and he escaped without ascrateh.

By Telegraph from Jones, McCormick & Kennett, Chicago, to the PosT-DISPATCH. CHICAGO, October 19, 1 p. m.—Wheat opened stronger in tone, although with not much change in price. The local crowd has done most of the trading, in _ fact N few builish scalpers held the market steady up to the close, when some buy- ing orders appeared and the offerings being light, soon bailed out the sellers and alter that it was simply a general scramble to get ashore. Some of the outside markets reported a better feeling, but otherwise there was no news of any kind and closed firm. Corn also has shown a better feeling to-day and asmali advance in price. One or two houses were liberal buyers, which absorbed everything offered, an later when wheat be- can advancing the corn market smpathized and closed strong. There was some reaction in provisions early favored by lighter receipts of hogs than ex- pected and the strong grain markets. Hutch- inson was a prominent buyer, and afterwards sold. The advance was not sustained. Offerings became freer and the absorbing avi ws of the crowd proved to be small. Much ess business was done than on yesterday. Closing Prices—3 P. M.

M The visible supply and amount on ocean passage, making up what is known as the uVailable supply, is now 44,616,000 bu wheat and 10,181,000 bu corn. This is a decrease in wheat from the week previous of - 445,000 bu and is 29,453,000 bu smaller than a yearago, and of corn is an increase of 770,000 bu over the previous week and that four and wheat supplies of the United Kingdom increased 273,000 bu during last week, the imports into that country and the deliveries of home grown exceeding its consumptive requirements that amount.— | The present dulinessin grain speculation ex- | tends all over the country, and none of the markets are doing anywherenear the option trade they did twelve months ago. A ventleman who has just returned from the Northwest says it is really a pitiable siaht to see luth Board of Trade. Where a couple of years ago there were flty to sixty members actively trading, there are now only about a dozen and they are actually doing nothing. Hie believes the Northwestern millers will command all the wheat and they are not en- gaged in speculating at all, having an ex- cellent flour trade, to which they devote all their time and energtes. Chicago, he believes, will receive the low grades of the spring wheat crop mainly.——Duringthe early hours of trading there was a spicy altercation be tween a couple of prominent members and leading traders in the pit. It started in this way: hen Barnes was offering to sell May wheat at 79%c when Moses Fra- ley stepped up to him and in his ear. fiercely exclaimed: youthink! I and not on yours. th nking for me, and I don’t care for your opinion,’’ Fraley looked at him a moment, turned and went out of the pit, but soon appeared on the other side, opposite to Barnes. Fraley began bidding for May wheat, ‘‘I'll give an eighth for May, he shouted; give, un eighth «and a quarter.’’ „Sell yeu ten, said Barnes. ‘*Makw it fifty, a hundred, two hundred,’’ returned Fraley. ‘‘Yes,’’ came back Barnes every time, ‘‘make it four hundred. Jake * was the response, and the trade was booked for 400,000 May wheat at 7943@79%. Such rackets but they liven up I. Green: not active; don't give a what trading greatly.——New York to W. Cables Liverpool wheat tirm but corn good demand but not quotably higher. —India’s exports of wheat trom April 1— beginning of the crep year—to October 15 were 10,960,000 bu to the United King- dom and 10,500, 000 du to the Continent, a total of 21,460,060 bu, agu ns t 20, 312, 000 bu for samo time last year. ev York to Francis: Rather free buying orders and firm market, Foreigners inac- tive, selling tor futures moderately, Cabies steady and quiet. Temperament bullish.— Millers in New York have sold 220,000 sks flour for export since the close of June.——The Chicago Tribune says: It is remarked that the shipping business | does not absorb all the receipts of grain in this carried by capital, which has hitherto meant speculators, of which there are nov very few. lience the observed weakness in prices, It may yet come to be regarded as cause for thunkfulness that the wWwarebousemen 91 this city find it t their interest to grain to hold for the sake of the storage charges, and the same may hold Some of the ware onses in St. Louis are filled with wheat which is the property of the men who control the elevutors.
