Thomas Owens, a Carpenter, Employed at Homestead, near Pittsburg, Pa., the Self- Confessed Bomb-Thrower— He Falis From a Building Yesterday and Breaks His Neck—The Washington Sensation— &. G. Hopkins, a@ Reporter, Arrested for Sending the Alleged Infernal Machine to Chief-Justice Waite. PITTSBURG, Pa., November 4.—Yesterday Thomas Owens, an unpretentious carpenter at work ona house at Homestead, fell from the roof of the building and broke his neck. ’Squire Oecffner was deputized to hold an inquest, and to-day made a report of his investigation. Owens, the deceased, it appears, came to this city about one year ago, some two or three days after the Haymarket riot at Chicago, in a somewhat dilapidated condition, representing himself to be a carpenter outof a job. He at once secured work at Homestead with J.R. Mullett, and for the past year has been work- ing steadily alongside of a man named Piper or Pfeiffer, also a carpenter. When Owens began work he said he had just come from Chicago, where he had a brother living, and seemed nervous and startled at every- thing. One day while Pfeiffer and Owens were at work an officer came to Homestead in search of a man on achargeof desertion. Seeing Owens and not knowing what his man looked like, the officer asked Mr. Mullett who Owens was and was told, whereupon he went away. The men at work heard that the officer had asked who Owens was and,out of mischief, told him that an officer had been after him. HE BECAME VERY MUOH EXCITED, and went to Mr. Mullett at once, wanting what pay was due him, and expressing a desire to getaway frem Homestead as soon as possible, but when assured that he was not the man the Officers wanted he wentto work again, seem ingly contented, This conduct interested Mr. Pfeiffer, who was rooming as well as working in his company, and at the first opportunity he began a systematic inquiry of Owens as to his cause of alarm. In his conversation Pfeiffer yesterday swore before 'Squire Oeffmerin the course of the inquest that Thomas Owens said: ‘‘lam very sorry for those Anarchists in Chicago who are now in jail charged with throwing bombs at the Haymarket riot. There are others outside who are more to blame than they. I was at the Haymarket riot and am an Anarchist, and say that I threw a bomb in that riot.’’ THE STORY BELIEVED. Pfeiffer was cautioned to keep the statement a secret and for that reason he did not tell the story until after the death of Owens. The way the story happened to come out was that allthe men employed on the building were standing around the ‘Squire's _ fiice, having been summoned there as witnesses in the Owens inquest, and while there Pfeiffer and Mullett began talking of this story: ‘*] heard their remuarks,’’ sald the ’Squire to a Chronicle-Telegraph reporter this morning, ‘‘and immediately called Pfeiffer to the stand, ewore him, and although it had nothing to do with the cuuse of Owens’ death, yet, under oath, he told the story I have just related,.’’ Eh PP NE MSS Hn A FATAL *“SCOOP.,"’ Two Reporters Arrested for the Infernal Machine Sensation. By Telegraph to the PosST-DISPATCH WASHINGTON, D. C., November 4.—It ap- pears upon investigation that the sending. of an alleged infernal machine to Chief-Justice Waite last evening was a boax, gotten up bya sensational newspaper man. The Chief Jus- tice admitted this-morning that be had re ceived a little box. ‘*It came through the mail,’’ he said. ‘‘It wasa little paper box, perfectly harmlesa, and evidently sent forthe purpose of making a sensation.’’ ‘*Did you callin the police?’ ‘‘No, but a policeman called here about I opened the box myself and found there was nothing in it at all dangerous. It was aperfectsham. I don't think I would have regarded it as a matter for the police if the policeman had not called to inquire about it.’’ The reperter who first discovered the plot, which wus even before the Chief Justice re- ceived the box, tells a very improbable story He was standing in the post-oftice last night aboutséo'’ciock. In reach ng for a pen he ob- served a man directing a box tothe ‘‘Hon. Chief Justice Waite.’’ It occurred to hima few moments later that the box might contain dynamite. He hurried up tothe residence of the Chief Justice, but did not, time bis errival well, as he cot there ahead of the box. He re- turned tothe Post-oftice and found that the bex had actualliv been sent, and then, with commendable enterprise, offered the story to acouple of Western newspapers before notl- fying the police. The reporter can give no @scription of the man he saw addressing the box; he does not remember whether he was white or colored, shortor tall. The affair is regarded asa silly boax. A NEWSPAPER REPORTER ARRESTED. 8. G. Hopkins, the reporter who worked up the sensational story about the attempt tu remove Chief-Justice Waite by sending bim an infernal machine, has been arrested and is in the custody of the police. An examination of the contents ofthe box will be made by the city chemist, and if any explosives are found, Hopkins will be criminally prosecuted. Hopkins is badly scared and is sald to be will- ing to make a confession if he can escape prosecution. HOPKINS CONFESSES. Hopkins has made a contession to the effect that he concocted the whole scheme for the purpose Of selling the sensation to the news- papers. A FATAL ‘‘8COOP."’ Hopkins stated that Arthar B. Sperry, 4& re- porter ofa local paper, assisted him. In his confess on he said thatthe small phial which was iound in the package contained only, ink and a very smail quantity of powder, just sufficient to burst the phial and alarm the person who might open the packere. Sperry ia the party who called at the Chief Justice's residence last wt hae ngu red whether a mysterious looking pack age had been received. Both Ho P aaa and | Sperry were immediately arres PO hs ag with correspondents. MOST’S REVENGEFUL MOOD. The Anarchist Designs a Monument for the Condemned ‘‘Reds.” NEW YORK, November 4.—Johann Most has designed a monument to the memory of the condemned Anarchists. Anumber of prisoners are looking out of two windows at the figure of a woman representing the public, flanked on either side by a woman inchains. One woman represents liberty and the other justice. This is on the ground floor, on the market row, in which the police are seen club- bing the people In one corner is a statue of k. Gary and at the other Grinnell. Above are seen standing four police officers, including Capts, Schaack and Ebersold, with uplifted clubs, and above all stands a figure of In- spector Bonfield, also flourishing aciub. Mr. Most was in asanguinary and revengeful mood. _-—---_> -—-— A TRAGIC MYSTERY. -_- Police Officer Keegan of Chicago Murdered on His Beat. CrrcaGco, Ill. , November 4.—Early this morn- ing near Albany avenue, a lonely part of the West Side, Police Officer Keegan was found lying dead on his back with a wound op his forehead, evidently made by some Diunt ip: strument. The officer had been murdered while on his beat. When found this morning he still clasped his revolver in bis hand, bat is had not been discharged. There is po clus to the wurderer, Murdered a Boy. BALTIMORE, Md., November 4.—Albert M. Brusstar, an extra letter-carrier, Is under ar- rest charged with the murder of Michael J. Beisler, an imbecile boy.

MONTGOMERY, Ala., November 4.—Henry Bob- inson, colored, was hanged at Union Springs, about forty miles east of here, to-day.

Mr. Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian, found sitting quietly by atable in his room at | the Southern last evening when a representa- | tive of the Post-DisPpaTcu called upon him. It | Was shortly before the performance of ‘‘King Lear’’ was to commence atthe Olympic; Miss Louise Boisliniere, the new shade of. but the actor was in his dressing-gown and was enjoying arest from his work. On the table before him was acopy of Shak- complete works and Mr. Barrett siniled and remarked on bis visitor’s referring | to the book that he was reading it through. ‘*‘I carry this copy with me,’’ said he, ‘‘and am reading the plays through from beginning toend. I find it a pleasant and profitable occupation while traveling.’’ ‘‘Have you taken any interest in the con- troversy concerning the authorship of the plays, Mr. Barrett?’’ asked the reporter. ‘*‘Yes, I have given the question careful study. LIhavejust written an article for the North American on thesubject.

Bacon tried translating the ‘Psalms of David’ into English, and the sishop of Lincoln, his literury executor, referring to effort, remarked that his plety was more to be commended than his poetry. Then this cipher reminds me of the man who found in Knight's tracing of the inscription on Shakspeare's tomb a sentence to the efiect thut Bacon wrote Shakspeare’s plays, and it afterwards turned out that THE TRACING WAS ERRONEOUS. ‘*The fuctthat Shakspeare was anactor made it possible for him to construct and write the plays Itis not the poetry in the plays that is | the zreatestelement, but the knowledge of | human pature,’”’ On a subject of this kind Mr. Barrett is at home, and there is no man more capable of treating such atheme with intelligence. He iga man who impresses one at once with his thoughttulness and the ripe measure of his uttainments. He never speaks hastily, and when he does speak there is food for thought in There is another characteris- tic of Mr. Burrett. No one can meet the man and talk with him for anv length of time with- out being struck by his individuality and by essential genuineness of his nature. There are few men on whom the mark of a strong, honest purpose pursued persistently and without wavering under any and all discouragement, is more firmly fixed. Ahizh view of life and its aims and ends crops out unconsciously in Mr. Bar- rett, and one Could easily believe that to a man he would prove an inspiration at Mr. Barrett talked pleasantly about the present tour of himself and Mr. Booth, and iin the course of the conversation revealed for the first time the plans of thetwo tragedians. Theyopena possibility and prospect of achievement in the production of the legitimate drama which is dazzliny, and which promises not only honor and profitfor the principals, but the highest enjoyment forthe public. Speaking of the tour, Mr. Barrett said: ‘‘The reception of the enterprise has everywhere been of the kindest from both press and public. Tbis kindness has been beyond ex- pectation and is gratifying to both of us. Our aim has been to present the Shakspearian plays adequately in every respect It was impossible tocarry our own scenery, and in such well-equipped theaters as the Olympic we depend upon the local resources which are always good for these plays. We obtained the finest costumes correct in every particular, and the best com- puny forthis work which could be selected, and I think our company an excellent one. This is all we couid do and our aim to give careful and able performances is in great ineusure realized, as nearly 80 as is possible at We must look to the tuture for ,* all times. ‘‘Have you considered your plans for the ‘I may say this, that I regard this enterprise as Only the commencement of greater things.

I need not say what the stage. I noticed thata gun he has done ior | eritic stated that Mr. Booth and I bad learned | something | pany from the Saxe Meiningen Com- Germany. The impression of Mr. Booth as a man who wants poor surroundings, or is willing that his plays may be produced in any way, is entirely wrong. People seem to bave forgotten that Booth was the pioneer in perfect and brilllant ee of levitimate dramas. Lng before the Germans ever thought of producing Shakspeare Mr. Booth built a theater and produced dramas with a in | magnificence and periection which have never He spent his tal- in this I presume he was discouraged atthe been surpassed or reached. effort. opportunity to renew his aims. For some yeurs past he has been repressed by speculators who used his ability and his fame money. But there is noman with broader, finer views and higher aspira- tions than Mr. Booth. To him = ahnost alone, when the legitimate drama was threat- ened with ruin and the stage with degradation, was due the preservation of the one and the maintaining persistently of the high standard ofthe other. Myown labors have been di- rected to the best of my ability. to buildiug up the leyvitimate stuge und to production. Mr. Booth is generous to a fault and spures no means to such ends. We shall remain to- gether, therefore, and devote ourselves to the production of the higher form of the drama in the best way possibie.’’ A NEW YORK THEATER.

The statement was made on an inspection of the receipt sheet in the Comptroller's office which to-day gives no account ofthe receiptof any such sum, When Comptroller Campbell was asked if the Merchants’ Bridge Terminal Railway Company had paid the city $5,000, he replied thit it had not. Whenthe City Treasurer was asked he replied that it had paid in that sum. Major C. C. Rainwater, one’ of the incorporators who was charged with this part of the legal busi- ness, stated that he had paid in the required sum on September6.

There is no such entry on the ac- count of franchises, In the Auditor's office a trace of the $5,000 was obtained, It had gone into the contract deposit account, which ranges up to a million d /llars at times, and in which the identity of all sums paid in is abso- lutely lost.

CHICAGO, Ill., November 4.—Edgar A. Hall, brother of the second engineer of the Vernon, stated yesterday that the last time his’ brother was in Chicago he told him that Capt. Thorp, master of the Vernon, had an attack of de- lirirlum tremens while on top of the pilot: house. Mr. Hall was formerly connected with the Northern Michigan Line, and was clerk of the propeller Champlain until a short time before she burned, when he resigned to ae- cept a position as book-keeper with Hanchett Brothers, No. 2 La Salle street. He also said that it ought to have been wellknown tothe other officers of the line that Capt Thorp was a hard drinker, and that he had often left port whiie drunk. Mr. Hall gave the name of a prominent wholesale merchant who recently madea tripon the Vernon, who had toid him that Capt. Thorp was drunk during the entire time he remained onthe boat. The brother of Mrs. M. E. Van Amburgh called at the Tribune office last night and said that bis sister arrived in Chi- cago on the Vernon September 8, accom- panied by Miss Addie Mickley of Waterioo, N. Y. The steamer wasthree days longer than usual in making the trip from Sheboygan, and both ladies told him that the Captain was druok all the time. STONE'S STORY. Axel Stone, the only survivor of the disaster, when asked if he ever saw Capt. Thorp drunk, replied: ‘‘The Captain was drunk most of the time, and he was very drunk when we left Cheboygan last week. While we were coming through the straits the second mate said to him: ‘Sober up, you drunken beast, and take care of this boat and the people.’ The Cap- tain told him to go toh—l. I was io the oab atthe time and heard every word that was said. Friday night, which was the night that the steamer was lost, the Captain was as drunk as I ever saw him, and he kept takinw a drink every little while from a bottle that he carried in bis coat poenes. I guess that ie why the first mate staid on deck all of the time. Heknew that the Captain was so drunk that he did not hardly know what he was about, and was probably afraid the Cap- tain would do something foolish. If the Captain had been soberl doen't believe the vessel would have been lost, for any sober man would have turned back when he saw how badly she acted in the big sea.’’ The ordinary second mate of a passenger steamer would hardly dare to use such lan- guage to the Warter as that Stone ascribes to Capt, Hi«gins, but the latter was not an ordi- nary second mate. A short time ago We was in command of the steamer Leland, and lost his position when the steamer changed owner- ship. It is difficult to obtain a command in the middle of the season, and rather than remain idle he accepted the first berth that was offered him. In every sense he was a careful and skiliful navigator, and if he had been in command of the Vernon that fatal night she might now be afloat. The same can be said of Capt. Sullivan, years com- manded some of the finest sailing vessels on the lakes.

The entire block from Bank alley south tothe Western Union building was one immense sheet of flame. The fire department after desperate efforts succeeded in limiting the devouring elements within the space de- scribed. The Western Union oflice was seriously threatened fora while, but escaped without much damage. The following named firms sustained losses: Weakley & Warten, stock $50,000, insured for three-fourths; Atwell & Sneed, furniture dealers, stock $17,000, In- surance $10,000; Webb, Stevenson & Co. hard- ware, stock $50,000, insured for three-fourths.

Why He Advised a Church Warden Not to Join the Calvinists—A Very Clear Claim of Apostolic Superiority—The Value ofa Good Presbyterian — Episcopalians Be- hind the Rest in Missions—TIo-day'’s Meet- ing of the Woman’s Auxiliary. The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Board of Episcopal Missions held its fall meeting to- day at Christ Church. There were as usual two sessions, a morning and. an afternoon. The morning session according tocustom was devoted to religious . services in the church proper. Bishop Tuttle, who returned from Philadelphia this morning, was present and delivered the annualaddress. No other bishops were in attendance. It was in- intended to have several missionary bishops present, but their appointments contiicted and they could notcome. The city clergy were well represented. In the sanctu- ary during the services were Revs. Schuyler, S. H. Greene, Ingraham, Holland and Archdeacon C. M. Davis. In the pews were Revs. G. H. Sterling of Old Orchard, F. K. Brooke, Father Benedict and Joseph De Forrest. After the preliminary devo- tions the Bishop took the pulpit anc delivered the address. The audience, which was almost exclusively com- posed of ladies, was about the largest that has ever assembled at an auxiliary meeting. THE BISHOP’S ADDRESS. Bishop Tuttle asked the ladies to excuse him for not having been able to bringa bishop to the meeting, as even at Philadelphia last week not a bishop attended the ladies’ meeting there as they had been too busy. He went on to compliment the gathering before him which he had no doubt was arepresentative one. He hoped the day would come when women delegates from all portions of the country would attend these annual meetings. The Bishop then passed toa review of the doings at the Missionary Council at Philadel- phia. He had heard there a great many things to surprise him, especially the statement of a Jupan missionary who said that in twenty yeurs the island would see the Christian religion welcomed if not almost enthroned, in its midst. APOSTOLIO GRACE. To make the necessity of work apparent he asked his hearers if they did not remember that 1800 years ago a sacred trust had been consigned them, the apostolic grace which they were to perpetuate. Did they not know they had a more stable system for perpetu- ating it than any of those who call themselves by other names? From Japan the speaker turned to China. There the medical men were doing a great work in openingthe doors of that conserva- tive and cold country. China being much stiffer than Japan, the work there was harder, but the reports from there are that the doctors who yo trom America and: Europe are received warmly, medical science being so backward. In and about Sbanghal there are 100 doctors who are doing grand work in overcoming the prejudices of the people, EPISCOLIANS BEHIND. After the preceding allusion to the Episco- palians’ superiority inthe matter of apostolic grace the bishop’s listeners were somewhat surprised when he suddenly digressed and suid: **Bbutothers have been doing a great deal. The Presbyterians, Baptists, Congre- putionalists and others have been doing a vast work. Yes, sisters, there is no denying it, they have done more, far more, than you orl. Let us be glad of it and pray for the suc- cess of the work.’’ He entreated them to awaken and do all they could to equal the others in devotion to missionary interests. The apathy of men in missionary matters he explained on the ground that business com- petition, which is so sharp nowadays, keeps men too busy. Moreover, the work of the ladies not only benefitted those who were the objects of their labors, but also deepened the workers’ sympathies and widened their interests. He referred to the advisability of the auxiliary doing work for home missions, It was not necessary to confine their labors to the foreign field. They had a great duty rightin their own diocese. A PRESBYTERIAN A PRETTY GOOD FELLOW. Ile aroused much interest at this point by using this illustration: Notlong ago a warden ina Missouri town wrote me telling me he was going to join the Presbyterians, as there was no Episcopal ser- vice there and he wanted to be spiritually shepherded somewhere. The Bishop said he had written him that of course it was u mat- ter of hisown choice, Lut he sugyested that the old prayer-book chureb had everything the Presbyterians had and something besides given intrust, and that it would be a good thing to consider the change carefully. At once, said the Bishop, a person was sent to the town to see aboutthe church’s condition there, and interest was soon awakened, and now a- rector to. be called to that revivitied church. So the movement was checked. A great many souls are being lost every day because of insufticient means tocheck these movements. ‘‘*Lost,’’ explained the preacher, ‘‘to the prayerbook church, not to Christianity, because I know of no better man under God's sun than a good, old-fashioned Presbyterian.’’ The Bishop, whospoke with great earnest- ness and a fluency that charmed his audience, concluded his interesting discourse with an uppeul for aconstant consecration tothe cause and a clearer appreciation of the responpibili- ties devolving upon them. The sermon was followed by the holy com- munion, which was celebrated by Bishop Tattle, At the conclusion an excellent lunch was served by the ladies in the church parlors. At 2 o’*clock the ladies reassembled, this time in the lecture-room. Rev. Dr. R. A. Holland made an eloquent plea for the family of the late sishop Elliott of Texas, lett destitute by his death. ‘The auxiliaries of the country are going to make an effort to raise $20,000 the coming year forthe family, and he urged the wuxXiliary before him do its share. Archdeacon Davis, Bishop's young assistant, made his appearance before a diocesan meeting and spoke happily on. the ‘*Instruction to Parish Ofticers,’’ giving some helptul hints. The Bishop then followed, outiining the work tor the year, suggesting scholarships, etc. This part through with, the clergy withdrew and the business of the meeting was trans- acted, which was very little, as the reports oft the secretary and treasurer, Miss Mary ‘Triplett and Miss Cousland, re- spectively, were substantially the same as those § they presented at the meeting at st. Luke’s Hospital last spring. Mrs. ‘Tuttie presided over the deliberations simply, making no address, us she had had no time to getthe run of things since her election last tpring. The meeting comes to a final close with this afternoon's husiness. No mass-meeting will be held this evening us there is no visiting bishop to speak.

The river at that point is nearly @ mile wide, and has, during the past ten years, shifted its channel bhaif a dozen times. They are convinced to-day that the only intelligent planof going about the work isto have soundings of the river and borings of the bank made. He Will Qualify. August C. Speth, who was appointed Milk Inspector three months ago, but who failed to enter on the discharge of his duties, called at the City Register’s office to-day to procure a bond. There were several candidates for the office, which closely affects the milk dealers, and considerable surprise was manifested when the lucky ap- plicant allowed the charter time in which to qualify to expire without filing the necessary bond. Underthe conditions imposed by the charter he should huave qualified within fifteen days ufter receiving his offi- cial . notifeation oof his appointment. This he failed to do, and according to the opinion of the legal authorities his ap pointment no longer holds good. If necessary Mayor Francis will probably re-appoint Mr. Speth, if he will be able to furnish the re- quired bond of $10,000 before the meeting of the municipal assembly on next Tuesday. Suggestions for the Message. Ex-Councilman J. K. Cummings called on Mayor Francis to-day in the characterofa citizen and tax payer to make some sugges- tions asto what His Honor’s message to the Assembly next week should contain. tab, which he carried in which he frequently referred while ing his suvgestion to the Mayor. a crowd had guthered in the ante-rooin to see His Honor, who unwarily called up the ex- visitors.

Ata recent meeting of the Bombay Natural Historical Society a paper was read by J. H. Steele on the subject of ‘‘Wild Horses,’’ from which the following is taken: ‘*Is there such a thing as a wild horse, an aboriginal or truly wild horse, in the world now? The answer is more than doubtful. The mustang of Mexico, the wild horse o the South American patmnpas, the brumbi o Australia, are all descendantsof the domesti- cated animals introduced from Europe. The first horse was landed in America at buenos Ayres in 1537. In 1580—that is, in less than fiity years—horses had spread to regions as remote as Patagonia. In Australia the diffus- ion of horses that have escaped from civiliza- tion has been quite as rapid, and in 1875 it was found necessary to shoot as many as 7,000 wild horses in the colony of New South Wales atone. In some parts of Australia the horse pest has received legis- lative notice. The wild horses tempt domes- ticuted horses to join them, and wild stall.ons also invade the Australian horse runs and vitiate choice herds ina most annoying man- ner. They recalltothe ancestral manuers in a Way that is always the same. Each stallion, Mr. Steel tells us, hus his following of mares ranging from a few up to forty or even filty, and these parties may be separated or banded together into herds of consid- erable size, even, it is said, 400 atrong. The young and the weak males remain with & scanty or even no following. The stallion has to maintain his supremacy by frequent combats, which especially occur at certain seasons of the year. ‘lhe animals are suspi- cious inthe extreme, swiftin flight, but bold in defense with t othand heel ip emergency. They range extensively in search of pasture and water, and when hard pressed by danger and famine the herds break up. It is said that each troop has a leader and implicitly obeys him. Heisthe first to face danger and give the hintto fly. When pressed the horses form a ring, with the mares and foals ion the center,and defend themselves vigorously with their heels, orthey close in on their opponent in dense maseges and trample him todeath. It is distinctly proved then, thatthere can be no aborizinal or wild horse in either Atmeaica or Australia, although there are tens of thons- ands of unowned horses, Tradition points to Central Asia as the aboriginal abode of the horse, and there the original stock of wild horses nay still possibly § ex- ist Darwin's stutement that no ab- original or truly wild horse is known to exist must still be held as explain- ing the exact position of this question; but, saps Mr. Steele, we must supplement it by stuting that ‘itis not certain that truly wild horses do not exist;’ and, on the whole, Mr. Steele concludes that the evidence is in favor of the existence of the wild horse, in Central Asia, put that we have no evi- dence as to his pedigree in relation to domestication. The wild horse of the British islands is now practically the Shetland pony, but he ts not the powertul animal de- scribed by C@wsur. The domesticated animal everywhere, however, reverts very easily to the savage state, and of the wild horse, so considered, Mr. Steel bas much to tell us. His paces are a walk and gallop. The double and the center are artificial, and itis still a mooted question as to whether the wild horse ever trots.’’ ee ee ee ee A Curious Letter of Gratitude.

From the Chico (Colo. )Enterprise. . The fame of the Mexican or the Western States cowboys with the riata is world-wide, and their unerring skill and marvelous feats with the rawhide braid have been told and retold. Ofttimes we hear of these wonderful performances, but only set them down as having come from the too-imaginative brain of anewspaper man. But now Chico steps to the front and gracefully acknowledges the bakery in a feat of riata-twirling that eclipses Buffalo Bill's Wild West Combination tu ite paliniest tiines. Frank Copple is chief vaquero on the Rancho Chico, and his old horse, Buck, with almost human intelligence, is known to all the boys onthe rancho. Frank, assisted by his horse, bas lassooed everything from a wild Western steer toacinnamon bear, and the other day set thetop feather in his cup for the world to compete for. Gen. Bidwell has itn bis deer park a large pond, in which a graceful white swan proudly tloats. Some days ago the bird escaped, and all efforts to capture him proved futile. Shooting him through the wing was finally suggested, when Cop- ple huppened along, and on being told what was the matter be volun- teered to capture the bird without injury to it, Hie was told to go ahead, and off he started after hisswanship, which, when he saw Frank, arose in the alr and sualled out to Sandy Guich, Frank following on his horse; but no way could he find of catching the bird, until the coiled riata at his side suggested an idea, novel and startling. Why not lasso the vird? And just that quick was the sixty-foot horse-hair. lariat unwound. What favored the plan most was the bird flew only from thirty to forty fees from the ground; but another difiicul- ty presented itself—Frank could nos throw his riata from a sitting position. 680, speaking to old Buck, he sprang to his feet in the saddle and started at a full gallop after the bird, which arose and began fiying. Now he is under it, with the swan forty feet in mid- air. Once, twice, three times the rope circles around his head and is thrown with a guick, unerring aim upward and outward. It cute through the alr and settles vracefully over the wings of the swan The struggling bird wag drawn to the ground and taken to th : where it is now confined. Frank rece many thanks and congratulations for his un- surpassed skill and daring throw with the riata. A Kiead Word for Marcus Aurelius, From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

A Post-Dispatch Correspondent’s Investiga- tion of a Horrible Condition of Affairs in the Pine Forest Region—Girls Kid- napped and Compelled to Lead the Worst of Lives—A Dive-Keeper Who isa Millivonaire—The Discoveries Following the Arrest of Mrs. Cassidy. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. CHICAGO, Ill., November 4.—The POSsT-DIs- PATCH correspondent has just returned froma week's investigation of the ‘‘white slavery’’ system that exists in the dives among the pine forests of Wisconsin. The discoveries that followed the arrest of the Cassidy woman in this city for abducting giristo tuese dives in- dicated a horrible condition of affairs in this almost unknown region. The researches of the Postr-DIsPpaTcH reporter show that the real situation is worse than the worst sur- | mises. A regular business of kidnapping lit- ‘tle girls has been carried on for years, the 'yictims have been kept prisoners, subjected | to revolting cruelty, and have been compelled to lead the worst of lives. There are hundreds of poor creatures confined in these dens whose relatives think they are dead, und who have been enticed away from good homes. They can not escape, qand the | officers of the law can not help them, because there is no law inthe whole desolate region. Robbery and murder have been carried on there with impunity for years. A WILD AND DISMAL COUNTRY. The country in which the dives are situated is wild and dismal. No one lives there but | Indians, the lumbermen, and those who sup- ply their wants. The whole region is a rough forest of scrub oak, pine and hemlock. The few hamlets scattered through it are mere railroad stations, with a store or two. reporter was disguised as a lumberman, as it would not have been safe to venture into the Visited was Mike Leahy’s notorious place.

There are two more dives like Leaby’s within ashort distance of Marinette, one kept by a hideous oid hag named Lamie, and the other by aman named Beveridge. Both are builtand | operated on the same plan as the Leahy place. There are forty occupantsineach place. Most ofthem are very young. Almost without ex- ' ception they were brought to the dives by the | Cassidy woman from Chicago, under the im- | | pression thatthey were to obtain respectable employment at Green Bay or Duluth. The stories of their abduction have been verified by their former homes as fur as About a year ago a young girl known as ‘‘Reddy’’ managed to slip out of Leahy's dive one day while the guards were drunk and ran down the trail towards Mar- Two men from the house gave chase.

One of the boys fired his gun into the trees in the hope of FRIGHTENING THE BRUTE, but was himself caught by the fellow and only released after making promises not to tell what he had seen. He told the Post- DISPATCH correspondent that the victim, whose rizht name was Lucy Schubert of Chicago, wastaken back to the house and kept there till recently, when she was shipped to a house in Iron Mountain. Jessie Allen attempted to escape from Bev- eridge’s house a ghort time ago. She was caught, stripped of her clothing and whipped till the blood burst from the welts raised by the clubs. The ‘‘Midget,’’ a very smal! girl who was lured from Ripon, Wis., was another vic- tim. According to stories told by a fiddler in the Lamie house, she tried to escape by scal- ing the stockade. She was seen just as she was about to hide In the bushes on the other side of the wall and beaten senseless. A VICTIM'S STORY. Mamie Pearson, who wus abducted from Jakeview, was seen by the Post-Dis- PATCH correspondent at the Leahy House. She is only 15 years old, but her face is wrinkled and she looks the picture of misery. When asked to recite her the place she drew a long sigh, and, taking care that | nobody was listening, said: ‘*A little over a yearago I saw an advertise- |; mentinthe Chicago Times, announcing that | Waitresses were wanted at the Leahy Hotel, | Marinette, Good wages were offered.

Madness was the theme at the Olympic last night, and the two illustrations of it furnished by Mr. Booth and Mr. Barrett were studies in disordered minds—the one assuined, the other real—such as the lucal stage has never seen in | conjunction, | It is safe to say that there was not an intelli- i'gent person In the audience who did not feel profoundly grateful that ‘‘King Lear’’ been put in the repertoire for this week. Even | the unintelligent spectator, while not under- _ standing the fullness of the creation presented | on the stage, could not fail to be impressed by , the grand and perfect picture of noble nature , brought to pitiful ruin by torture. Aguin Mr. Booth has conquered by the force Criticism slinks away inawe at the wonder of hisachievement. Carping comment is silenced by its own triviality. The beauty of a noble mind warped by passion, the grandeur of power, the pangs of ingratitude and grief, the sweetness of love, the pitiful wanderings of a disordered mind, the unutterable pathos of ruin and death were mirrored so clearly, graphically, with such perfect fidelity that art seemed merged into startling reality, and the repre- sentation assumed not only the form but the actual spirit of nature. When a man does thisthere is nothing left for his kind to do but lay a tribute of admira- tion at his feet and acknowledge the master artist. Mr. Booth brought the audience to his feet lastevening. He swept the strings of human emotion and passion with such skill and power that the audience was thrilled in response to his lightesttouch. There was not a jarring chord inthe harmony of his work. There was the passion of the proud old king finely depicted. There was the superb wrath of the father blended with overwhelming grief at the ingratitude offiesh aud blood; there was profoundest mournipg and rage finding ite sympathies in the stormy elements; there was the crushing sense of unspeakable sorrow, and that pitifal presentiment of failing facuities; there was the sad picture of a breken mind and weak- of giving m@the regulation dress of a waiter, | _ got all of my clothes. the | ened body, accustomed to greatness, praying athetically with wisps of straw, as if they ha een scepters, smiling at childish fancies and prattling unwittinuly of wie«dom and foolish- ness; there was yet the gentiness of .a noble heart, and finally joy, tempered with repen- tance and the pathos of unjustand unreason- able loss, with death as the ciimax. Consider what elements these are and what Aa mastery of nature and self is required to give them reality, and some idea of Mr. Booth's achievement may be gained. There is not a chord here that [s not of the grandest, not a depth of human emotion and condition, but what must be known thoreuvhiy and its ex- pression held within perfect control. The slightest deviation from whatthe most dell- cate sense of what is right and proper, and of what a man would do under given circum- stance, would at once have substituted little- ness, ludicrousness and deformity, for great- ness, dignity and beauty. But never in the smallest particular did the actor fail to reach the demands of the situation. There were pictures so exquisite asto be gems for treasuring, agin the scene with Ed- gar in the storm, the kindly sheltering of the poor fool under his robe, the purposeless handling of straws as the poor king chattered aimlessly of life. There was something | ke inspiration in the plucking at the tringe of his robe as Lear’s mind soughtin the mists of confusions for recognition of Cordelia, the gladness tinged withremorse in the clinging old man and the woe of the death scene with its single flutter of his old self before the taper of his life went out. These were all pictures in which eye, face, gesture, action, epeech were perfect elements of the whole. It is needless to particularize the merits of the imporsonation. It was not in his gentile emotions, strong passions or madoess that Mr. Booth’s genius shone, they won their tributes. It was not in his pathos that bis rreatness was revealed ;there were tears for it. t was in the blending of all of them, the har- monious combination that madeupa Lear, which was almost flawless in form and superb in spirit, which provedthe consum- mate artist. The Hamlet, Iago and Lear of this week simply strenvthen the foundation of the pedestal on which Mr. Booth stands. They constitute an incomparable trio in which com- parison is worthless, but his Lear has elements of strength which the others do not possess. There was something finely virile in the effort. The interest centering 80 powerfully in the grent fizure of the play, it was something of a thankless task to attempt any other part, but I want to commend Mr. Barrett for an admira- ble Edgar. There was no getail of the char- acter and of the work which was not filled with intelligence and skill and, within its ossibilities, it reached the highest standard. n his assumption of madness and in his natural scenes Mr. Barrett was altogether artistic and strong. Theentire performance was rounded and smooth. Mr. FE. J. Buckley as Edmund, Mr. John Lane as Kent, Mr. Owen Fawcett as the fool, Miss Gertrude Kellogg as Gonertl are particularly to be commended for careful and excellent work. Miss Minna K. Gale is to be commended for one thing particularly and this is the earnestness and evident labor which she bestowed on the role of Cordelha. When she corrects a false and strained method of elocution she will be In the way of success. Plauintive whining is not emotion.

NEW YORK, November 4.—The placidity of the relations between Mrs. James Brown Pot- ter and her manager, Harry Miner, was ruffied / on Wednesday by asquall that threatened to burst into a disastrous storm. Since Tuesday night Mrs. Potter’s management has had un- der consideration the advisability of changing the billut the Fifth Avenue Theater, ‘‘Mlle. De Bressiere,’’ the play in which Mrs. Potter is acting, bas not encountered publid Miner that favor and it occurred to Mr. romething else might prove more mugnetic from a box-office pointel view. Consequently there gers Wednesday, and after some discussion It ' Was agreed that ‘‘Loyxl Love’’ should be the immediate successor of ‘‘Milie. De Bressiere."’ It was also agreed that some other play should be presented during Mrs. Potter's engagement ut the Fiith Avenue, and here the trouble be- gan. Mrs. Potter has dresses ready for ‘*Loy- al Love,’’ and for a version of Georges Obnet’s ‘‘Le Maitre Des Forges.’’ Naturaily she favored the latter play as the third to be presented in New York. But Mr. Miner had conceived the idea that she would do better as Pauline in ‘‘The Lady of Lyons,’’ '{pstead of an adaptation of the French work. MRS. POTTER FINALLY ACQUIESCED on condition that Mr. Miner should pay for the dresses for Pauline. This he reiused to do. The star then refused to play Paaline under other conditions, and there immediately arose a monumental iceberg between the director of the People’s Theater and the debutante of Monday night.

Consequently Franklin Bartlett representing tbhe-Star, and A. H.

Mr. Miner was not at the Fifth Avenue when a correspondent cailed last ni ht, but Mrs. Potter was impersonating Faustine De Bressiere as compused! as though Mr. Miner had agreed to pay for all the dresses she needed.

The situation between the job printers and the striking compositors continue unchanged, the only development within the last twenty- four hours being the rather threatening atti- tude assumed by the pressmen at their meet- ing last night. A numberof non-union type- setters have gone to work in the offices va- cated by the strikers, andaparty of twelve will leave Indlanapolis to-nizht to supply the vacncies still existing. The employers express entire confidence in their ability to maintain their position, and declare that they will in no case yield an inch. Although a few offices have been somewhat embarrassed and have been obliged to give work to other offices, ail contracts have been fulfilled and the new bands who have been engaged have greatly relleved the pressure. A meeting of the ka thete was held this morning, at which it was agreed that ali should stand firmly together, and the first as- sessment of Sper cent on the subscription of $10,000 made yesterday was paid in. The resolutions passed at inst night's meeting by the Pressmen'’s Union were received, but no action was taken, and the meeting adjourned until to-morrow. THE PRESSMEN. The action of the Pressmen’s Union is watched with great anxiety on all sides, as their places, should they decide to make the cause of the compositors theirown, would be very difficult to supply. The union is forty- six strong, and includes nearly all the po employed in the job offices n this city. Mr. Henry J. Kline, President of the Pressman‘’s Union, saidtoe POST-DISPATCH reporter this morning: *‘Our attitude does not seem to be clearly under- stood by the public. We never had any in- tention of striking at 12 o'clock to-day, asa morning paper reports, and no such rerolu- tion was presented, although one wag pre- pared. The resolution adopted was simply one of sympathy, and in no way pledves us to strike atuny time. We have no complaints to make on Our own part, and no grievances to be reviressed. Weshallao right along do- ing our work untill the next meeting of the Union takes place, which will be on Tuesday night. Unilesssome very unforeseen contin- gency should arise, there is no possibility of any strike taking place before that time, when the matter will be fully discussed.’’ THE STRIKING COMPOSITORS. The compositors express themselves as firmly determined to fight to the bitter end, and are greatly inclined to doubt the state- ments made by the employers that their absence is not seriously felt. They sre par- ticularly desirous of inducing the pressmen to join them, as — belleve that by so — the strike would be brought to a sudden end and the triumph of the workmen assured. A tele- gram recelved this morning from the Exeou- tive Committee of the Pre-smen’s Union of Chicago, announcing that the employers bad been informed that ff the difficulties were not composed the union would arrange to tukea ahand in the fight at the meeting to be held to-morrow night, was regurded as & most favorabie ony of the probaole action of the pressmen of this city. Itis strenuously de- nied that any considerable number of the union men have given in. The tvpesetters of the St. Louls Grocer, the New Order and the Hardware Reporter are paid by the piece,and not by the day, and therefore have, from the beginning, taken no part inthe strike, while not half a dozen men are at work in offices not paying the increase demanded. Both sides are firm and the _ pect is that the struggle is not near its end. THE TERRIBLE TRAMPS. A Determined Citizen Kills One and Puts a Gang to Flight. WILKESBARRE, Pa., November 4.—A dozen tramps happened to meet near the depot at Berwick yesterday afternoon. They were noisy and disorderly and evidently under the influence of liquor. A peddier named 8. Stanley of Towanda came along and the tramps attacked him. They took his wares and scat- tered them about promiscuously. The quarrel grew so flerce that Stanley's life was In dan- er. Thomas McHugh of Pittston noticed Stanley's predicament and went to bis res- cue. e pulled a pistol and biazed away at the vagrants.

A movement which willdo much to restore the old relations of amity between the English- speaking and the German Catholics has just been determined on by the 8st. Vincent de Paul Society, that great Catholic institution that looks so carefully after the poor. For years and years back, in fact ever since St. Louis got big, the society’s annual retreat has been divided among a number of churches, that 14, several conferences uniting at a convenient church, This plan has done nothing to promote unity. Indeed they say it has had a contrary effect. This year, however, it has been decided to give the retreat for allthe conferences at one central piace, and the Cathedral, Second and Walnut, has been selected as that place. Also, the time of the retreat will be extended so as to take in eight days of devotions, beginning the Sun- day before the 8th of December and closing the Sunday after. Vicar-General Brady of the Annunciation Parish has charge of many of the details. A pleasant feature of the retreat will bethe arrangement by which the priest who opens the retreat will close it Sunday evening atthe annual meting of the society. The servicesof the © ‘ht days will be under the conduct of a known priest who is yet to be selectou,. ’ harmony is assured is shown by tne fact that at a recent meeting of the Upper Council the German par- ishes were largely represented and agreed to participate THE LUTHER CELEBRATION.

NEW YORK, Novemnber 4.—Club men about town were treated to a surprise yesterduy. Early in the day it was rumored that Edward Gebhardt was to be expelled from the New York Club. Then, when it was announced that Mr. Gebhardt had obtnuined from Judge Donohue, in the Supreme Court, an injunction restraining the club from expelling him, the excitemnent was intense. IT WAS A BOMB, But It Did Not Belone to an Anarchist or a Dynamiter. There was a genuine bomb found at Sixth | and Cerre streets yesterday. A crowd of little children bad itand were playing with it care- lessly, little dreaming of its explosive power. Oflicer Viehle noticed they had something and THE NEW DUPLEX BURNER, TO FIT ANY LAMP. on discovering what it was took the deadly petard trom them. It was a strange-looking object with a piece of fuse attached to it. | Viehle picked it up carefully and carried it to Edward Gebharat is | awell-known club man and has always been | very popular. Heis a member of the law firm of Barnum & Gebhardt, a brother of Frederick Gebhardt and of Mrs. Frederick Neilson. He has always oeen what is the working member of the family, for, notwithstanding his wealth, he has stuck to his profession. Noove could be found yes- terday who knew or would tell what the trouble was about. Club men said that it wus because Mr. Gebhardt valued his professional services higher than his club did. About a year azo be was employed by the ciub as counsel. It is now claimed that he charged too much and thatthe Club wants him to re- fund. He says he won't doitand the govern- ing committee say that if he doves not they Willexpel him. So rumors have it. MR. GEBHARDT’S STATEMENT. Whether true or false, it don’t seem to worry that gentleman much. He was found in his office bythe Post-DISPATCH Correspondent. When asked about the case Mr. Gebhardt said: ‘‘It beats all how quickly you chaps find things out. I have been trying t keep this matter quiet until it could be settled. Butsince it is out I'll tell you at once thatthe New York Club will not expel me. No, sir. Itistrue that about a year ago I was counsel for the club. No questions have been raised about my bills. Icannot tell you whut the reasons are. It would not be right at this time for metodoso. I want to see what the other side is goiny todo. Ihave an in- junction restrnining them from expelling me und they will have to get that vacated first.

He is tall, spurely and muscularly built. His features are thin and strongly drawn. He is several years older than Frederick, and his hair and mustache are already sprinkled with yray. There is none of the appearance of a carpet knight about him. friend of men than women. ANOTHER STATEMENT. A member of the New York Club who wished his: name withheld said last niuht question of Mr Gebbardt'’s expulsion was one which members did not wish to talk about. It is not for me to discuss what he told you,’” he said, (\nexpulsion from aciubisa serious matter. Mr. Gebhardt would have acted much wiser to have said nothing. Icantell you the charge against him is a serious one.’’ An officer of the club said: ‘‘It is not for one of uste dispute what Mr. Gebhardt may say, know nothing of his having bad any trouble with members of the governing comiunittec. I cannot tell you whatther-ai reason is. The directors will, perhaps, take some action to- night. Isuppose it willall come: ut in time, but tillacourt makes it public property, I don't think a club man will tell you what it is about. Tne directors of the New York Club met last night to take action itn regard to Mr. Gebhardt's conduct The meeting was strictly private, and even club members in weneral did not know the nature of the proceedings. The injunction rather staggered them, al- though the officers bad not yet been served with the papers. The directors seemed very much surprised and did not wish to makeany- thing pubiic, and were in consequence unable to decide whether to try to have the injunc- tion vacated and then expell the gentleman or simply to suspend him and have the case brought up for argument To be vacated about Janusry 1, 1888, The premises now occupied by The Post-Dispatcu, 515-517 Market street, Will be leased or improved to suit lessee.

TALE OF HORROR. DISCOVERY OF A HANGING LAMP IN THE FOURTEENTH STREET RUINS. The Lamp-Weight Identified By Sergt. Hennessy and the Morning Newspapers as a Dynamite Bomb—Thrilling De- scription of the Engine of Deatruction— The Mayor Views the Kuains This Morn- ing and Orders the Cellar of No. 9 Cleared Out—A Lively Interview With the Coroner, Who ‘‘Explains.”’ Nearthe ruins of the demolished buildings on Fourteenth street is atwisted bit of brass and chain work. Itliesonaheap of rubbish just in front of the butcher-shop of Henry Buerk. An almost perfect crown of fancy brass-work entangled by chains hangs from another bit of brass twisted almost out of shape. This is the re- mains of the dynamite bomb described with much minuteness In the Republican and Globe-Democrat of this morning. Toall appearances this isthe harmless remains of a hanging lamp, butif thetwo morning papers are to be believed itisthe engine of destruc- tion which is responsible for the loss of nine lives and the destruction of more than $15,000 worth of property. THE WANING MOON sheda soft effulgence over the dismantled wreck on Fourteenth street last night. Shat- tered wall and splintered timber shed ghostly shadows across the ruin and against the sheds across the little alley-way. Two blue-coated guardians of the peace paced their lonely beat before the scene of Tuesday morning’s horror. The night was soft and warm. A thio mist passed across the face of the moon and fora time half obscured its lght. Ever and anon its rays broke through the cloud brignter than ever. Ashe walked about the ruins Officer Stone would have entered the little alley-way between No. 5, in which Buerk had his butch- er-shop and No. 7, the house in which the Newman family lived; but unfortunately the little alley-way was clogged up with debris piled 8 feet high. Finding the passage blocked the officer began kicking away the joists and timbers, the barrels of cabbage and the boxes of soap which obstructed his way. In one of his efforts to remove the blockade the officer’s foot came in contact with some- thing hard. Stooping he picked up the object. A thrill of horror passed through his finger tips and down hisspinal column. Even his toes tingled. Hastily he called the atten- tion of his brother officer to the* object he had discovered. A hasty consultation was held and the Sergeant was summoned. Three stout hearts throbbed tumultuously under three brass-buttoned coats. ‘It's a dynamite bomb,’’ Palmer. Serut. Hennessy, who held the objectin his hand, half followed an impulse to dropit and then, suddenly recovering, gripped it tightly to keep it from falling. Some cotton was bastily procured and wrapped about the mys- terious discovery and Sergt. Hennessy under- took to convey it to the Four Courts. He arrived in the big building just asthe llo’clock police relief was assembling. ‘«Ah there, Tom Hennessy,’’ said twenty of the finest as the Sergeant we in an appear- ance. Then seeing the look of suppressed avony on his face they dropped their levity and clustered about him. ‘*‘See what 1 have,’’ said the Sergeant, and he unwound the cotton wrappings and ex- hibited his capture. ‘It’s a bomb,’’ said the awe-struck patrol- men as they feli back and let the Sergeant pass through. THE FAITHFUL REPORTER. A Globe-Democrat reporter inspected the bomb, which to all outward appearances is one of the dangerous weapons used by the Socialists. It was a haif globe, about four inches in diameter and weighing about three pounds. A little fuse-bole at the top enlarged gradually as the base was reached. The in- ternal cavity which held the explosive com- pound was about one and one-half inches in diameter at the base of the cylinder. The half-cylinder was cast-iron, and on the outer surface was engraved with figures, ‘‘140 The base of the cylinder was covered with an adhesive compound which looked like cement. This goes te prove that the two halves of the bomb were stuck together so as to part readily when the dynamite exploded. THIS MORNING a Post- DISPATCH reporter took his life in his hands and entered the sacred precincts at the Four Courts where the bomb was held under guard. Through the ‘‘little fuse bhole’’ at the top, on through tne ‘internal cavity which hela the explusive compound’’ passed a biue ribbon. It was knotted ina big bow on the outside. Ateither end of the ripbon was out- lined in red upon the blue background askull and cross-bones; under one the word ‘‘Fe- nian’’ and under the other ‘‘Dynamite.’’ A little tag was attuched tothe ribbon. On it tn red ink was an inscription something like this: ‘*Sergt. Hennessy's dynamite bomb, Four- teenth street, November 1, 1587. Hanging- lamp weight.’ ‘*You'll find the rest of the Infernal machine around the runs somewhere,’’ said the officer on duty. ‘‘ You'll know it by its likeness toa hanging lamp. You way find the other half of the weight upthere. The brass covering that was on it was broken, lsuppose, when the building fell.’’ THE MAYOR AND THE CORONER, The dynainite story did not take very well with the general public, and there wasa very sinail crowd at Fourteenth and Market streets this morning. The Mayor h promised to meet the Chief of Police, the Chronerand the Building Commissioner at the ruins at 9 o'clock this morning to determine whether or not the cellar of the fallen building, No. 9, should be cleaned out, The Mayor had pre- viously ordered the cellar of No. 7 cleared out at an expense of $0, but when that had been done work was stopped for lack of ‘funds. This morning Coroner Frazer was quoted as having said: ‘‘It's an outrage. The Mayoris an obstructionist and not an econo- mist. It's an outrage, and I'm going Into that cellar to-morrow worning, andi don’t care who pays for it.’’ These remarks were supposed to be predl- cated on the idea thatthe work could bave yroceeded yesterday if the Mayor had not imited the expenditure to $00 aad then ab- sented himself from the City Hallso that no request could be made ou bir for further sup- plies. The fact that the Coroner had been accused of indulging in 80 severe a criticism of the Mayor made ft altowether probable that the meeting ~ these gentiemen would he spicy and tnieresting. It was not long after the appointed hour when the Mayorand bis father-in-law, John D. Perry, drove up to the ruins. the Chief of Police and the pees. Commis. sioner were all on th e ground said Officer walked over to the Mayor’ 0 beoer **If you will Ne oe this Riis you can see _—- ee ‘‘are you correctly quoted in this morning’s papers?’’ ‘*‘No, sir; no, sir,’’ said Coroner Frazer nervously. “1 was going to speak to you aboutthat. It’s a mistake.’’ ‘*I don't care to be called an ‘obstrnctionist’ when lam advancing money out of my own pocket tocarry on this investigation,’’ said the Mayor, ‘*IT’S A MISTAKE,’* said the Coroner. ‘‘It was another official.’’ ‘*T hope he is not in your office,’* said the Mayor. ‘‘If he is and you haven't given bima piece of your mind, I wish you would send nin up to me and I will give bim a piece of mine. — ‘*He is not in my office,’’ said the Coroner. ‘*He is up at the City Hall. I will see that the mistake 8 corrected inthe papers. It’s alla wistake.’ Havin had this matter explained, the Mayor alighted from his buggy and took @ look at the ruins. The Coroner said he wanted to have the cellar of No. 9cieared out, but as the wreck of No. 11 had fallen into No. 9 it would cost considerable money to clear it away and at the same timeto keep any more of the building from tumbling. The contractor had offered to do the work for $125. The Mayor asked the Chief of Police and the Building Commissioner what the A er of the Coroner's proposition. The ief said that in his opinion the two breaks in the foundation wall were caused by the falling of, the buildings No. 11 and No. 9 against the masonry. Still it was just as well that the cellar of No. 9 should be cleared so that all doubts might beset at rest. The Building Commissioner said that be though $125 was a fair price for the work. ‘*‘Well, go ahead with it, then,’’ said the Mayor. ‘I will advance the money and trust to the Municipal Assembly to reim- burse me.’ ANOTHER CONTROVERSY. About this time another controversy devel- oped. Charles H. Peck, owner of a number of buildings on Fourteenth street, wanted the debris removed fiom his private alley, ‘*This is an emergency, Mr. Peck,’’ sald the Mayor, ‘‘and you will have to suffer some little inconvenlience.’’ ‘*Your alley is private property,’’ sald Com- missione: Kledus. **The city bas nothing to do with cleaning it.’ ‘*The city had no business to fillit up,then,’’ said Mr. Peck. ‘*The —_ didn’t,’’ said the Commissioner. ‘*It did when it was cleaning out the cellar,’’ said Mr. Peck I guess I know,’’ said the ‘*l waa here. Commissioner. The ‘‘you’re another’’ controversy con- tinued for some minutes, but no blows were exchanged. The Mayor told Chief Huebler to have Mr. Noonan, agent for the property, notified to clear off the sidewalk in front of the wrecked buildings. Then the party of officials retired. The contractor took hold not long after, and the work of clearing up the wreck Is now go- ing rapidly forward. It will not be completed to-day. IN THE CARE OF HER AUNT. Nellie Newman, the only surviving member of the Newman family, bas been cared for since Tuesday by her aunt, Mrs. John Schenck, at whose house on Cass avenue and Twenty-third street she has been living. She has alinost recovered her health. No reporter saw her on alittle cot at City Hospital yester- day, for the very good reason that she was not there.

LEXINGTON, Ky., November 4.—Tuck Agee was banged in the enclosure of the Lexl ugton Jail at 12 o'clock to-day. On September 2, 1886, Agee murdered his brother-in-law, James Faulkner, at Cadentown, during a quarrel about the ownership of two dozen roasting ears. Agee, in company with three cell mates, prayed ‘and sang until mnitnight, when he fell asleep. Awakening this morning at7 o'clock he ate a good break- fast. At 11:30 the procession moved out to the scaffold, a rude structure, with old-fashioned trap-door. Agee declared In a low, firm volee that he nad killed Faulkner tn self-denfense apd that his conscience wus at peace. In six- teen minutes after the trap fell tife was pro- nounced extinct. This is the first execution of a white man in Central Kentucky since the war. A Bright Light. | North St. Louls. Prosperity Lodge, U. 0. of H., at its nexg meeting will take steps to found a library.

A scheme !s now being agitated to have the City Council appoint five good citizens to as- certain the exact amount of the city’s indebt- edness withaview to funding it in case its | collection cunnot be defeated. Mr. Jolin B. Lovingston, who is one of the best posted men in the city on the city’s financies, gives it as bis opinion that the indebtedness will ag- gregate over $1,000,000, and if the payment of this amount should be ordered next spring, as now serms inevitable, the order would amount Virtually to a confiscation of all the property within the corporate limits. The only way in which payment can be staved off is to fund the debt, butas this cannot be done until the exact amount of the liability is known, the necessity of setting about ut once te ascertain how much {tt is, is evident. A number of prominent citizens, whose luterests in the city are large, having consulted about the matter lately and have come tothe conclusion that the best method of arriving at a definite knowledge ofthe city’s labiiity would be to have a commissioner appointed for that purpose, will, it is suid, petition § the City Council shortly to take such action. Mr. Selwyn B. Pallen of the land firm of Buckland & Pailen said this morning he thought the commission should be appointed at once, as it was clear the citizens would not vote in favor of tunding the debt until they knew just how much there was to be tunded. ‘*I think,’’ be said, ‘‘that we still have a fight- ing chance to defeat the collection of the debt. The United States Supreme Court has decided that the debt is legul and will have to be paid, but the collection will have to be made in the State courts, and as the State Supreme Court has decided that no greater levy can be made under the charter than three-tenths of one per cent, they would have to go back on their own decision in order to entorce the payment. To fight the case in the State courts will, of course, require money, and it will bave to be raised among the citi- zens. Ithink $3,000 would be suflicient to se- cure the best legal tulent to argue the case in the State courts. You can say that the firm of tuckliand & Pullen will contribute $300 to the fund for fighting atest case through the State courts.

NEW ORLEANS, November 4.—The reports of the trouble at the base ball park on Monday it seems are somewhat exaggerated, inasmuch as none of the players who are members of the New York Club were guilty of any wrong- doing. Twoof the players who accompanied them, Kelly of Boston, and Denny of Indian- | Apole, were the men who are guilty of the | acts charged. Capt. Ward, Connors, Richard- | son and Keefe of the New Yorks were inter- | viewed to-day by the POsT-DISPATCH corres- | spondent, and al! declared that the reports of the conduct of the club on the field as given be- a fore were greatly exaggerated. With the ex- ception of Denny none of them were charged with being under the influence of liquor and he was not disorderly. It only affected his |} playing. | defend Kelly, but they could not deny that his conduct was reprehensible. Kkelly has win- | tered five seasons inthis city and has a large circle of acquaintances, He is a member of the Elks Club. After the Sunday game and on Monday he is said to have had a halcyon time with the members of that organization. He 4s accounted avery liberal man by his friends, and they determined he should receive all the hospitality at their command. It is these friends, and a noisy visitor from Chicago, who are principally responsible for the disorder Monday. They wentouttothe grounds and got seats together on the grandstand. THE CHICAGOAN WAS DREUNK and began talking to the players in a loud voice. The New Orleans man soon followed his lead and the air was filled with oaths, Fortunately there were few ladies present, and they were so far away that they heard but little of the conversation, though they were somewhat disturbed by the loud = voices, Finally the Chicago man became so riotous that it was deemed necessity to eject him. When officers seized him to lead him out there were loud protests trom his friends and Kelly sprang to his defense. He announced that the Chicagoan was a friend of his and insisted | that he be allowed. to remain. The officers | agreed to let him stay, provided he and his | friends made no more noise. Kelly then re- | turned to the field, and the game was con- tinued, with comparative order, though the friends of the $10,000-player could not repress themselves entirely. | Ward, who has the filling of dates for the | comnbination, declares thatthere is no trutil in the statemeéut given out by Secretary Kaw of the local manayement, that they refused to allow them to play Wednesday and yesterday. A division of Monday's recelpts, he said, umounted to only $ aman,and the visitors de- termined to lay offafew days to rest. The visitors are here under no contract and deter- mined that they could spend their time more profitably in visiting points of interest than in playing toempty benches at Sawtman, They consequently postponed the game until to- day. Kelly, Ewing and Brown went fish- ing in the Guif with local sportsmen. Mr. and Mrs. Ward accepted an _ invita- tion to visit a sugar plantation while the rest of the players spent the day taking in points of interest. The visitors will play to- day and two games Saturday,ciosing the series on Tuesday afternoon. Ward sxys the dates arranged between this city and San Francisco will be filied and that there is no dissension among the members. NO MANAGER. One of the visitors who is charged with be- ing drunk Tuesday, is Ewing, who is now out of the city ‘°*but will return Mon- day. Ewing, Denny and Kelly «are the only members of the club who have done any drinking while here, and Kelly is alone chargeu with having been dis- orderly. Ewing kicked vigorously at the umpires and otherwise behaved indecorously. The fact is that little can be expected of the men at present. They left New York with the intention of having agood time onthe trip and did not expectto make much money. There isno particular head to the cowbina- tion at present, it being at different times under the management of Ewing, Ward and Keefe, nelther of whom seems to have any control over the players. ' Will Recognize the Brotherhood. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, November 4,—The fire has flashed inthe pan, and the advisers of the ball players, who sought notoriety by stirring up strife be- tween the bat wielders and the Nationa) League, must now retire and weep. In an in- terview with President Reach at Pittsburg, to a Post-DISPATCH correspondent, the president declared that the League will recognize the Brotherhood and aid them in anything that will tend to elevate the game. President Day ofthe New York Club hus also said the same thing, and Mr. Soden of Boston and. Spalding of Chicago are alsoofthe opinion that the League has nothing to-fear from meeting the players and considering any propositions that they make, ‘*This is a decided set-back to those who led the player, into the false position of appearing as antugonistic to the manugers,’’ said a well known base ball man vesteiday. ‘‘How foolish it all is may be seen when it is considered that although the players have held only three meetings and formulated plans for action and drawnup pleas and demands, the manugers bave not held a meeting. It is thereiore manifestthat if the manayers have had no meeting they could not, as alleged, have re- fused to recognized the Brotherheuod. over, not one manager has pressed any such sentiment; deed, they have wenerally conceded ex | C, E.

NEW ORLEANS, La., November 4,—President Ward, of the Brotherhood of Ball Players, on | being interviewed concerning the reported resignationsof Williamson and Flint, said: ‘‘The council of the Brotherhood at its meet- ing in Cincinnati on October 27, voted ,forgood reasons, to receive the resignations of several |members. Further than to say that William- son was one of these, ldo not care | until officially notified that the resignations of others haye been tendered.’’ Clips and Chips.

Last season he played with the La Crosse Club, Nicholson is the Chicago boy who pitched for the Hastings, Minn., team this year. If Detroit should draw out of the League and enter the Americah Association with its pres- entteam, it would take such alead for the championsnip at the outset as to destroy all interest, and, failing to draw at bome, would prove a financial failure. Good judgment would seem to dictate that it remain in the League and meet competitors somewhere near its own strength.—[Boston Exchange.

McCullagh Secured Himself by a Chattel Mortgage, and His Fixtures Were Left Alone by the Smooth Partners—A Very Neat and Successful Job. One of the appearances that neatest and most complete dis has taken place fora long ime denominated suddenly vanished from ._.the city without leaving a trace their whereabouts. These gentlemen whose full names were Harry Berry and Philip Bollinger, some twelve months ago rented from the wholesale liquor firm of JONES, EDWARDS &CO., the Jower floor of 513 Pine street, where they proceeded to set upabar. A very handsome inirror, anda complete bar equipment were obtained from Mr. John W. McCullagh ofthe Brunswick-Balke & Co., and Jones, Edwards & Co. of 525 North Second street, agreed to supply the liguors that were needed to enable the gentlemen to entertain their customn- ers. Everything was gotten up regardiess of expense, the bar glittered with cut giass, the mirror reflected in a perfect manner the carefully oiled hair and gorgeous attire of the proprietors, and an ample supply of liquors of all kinds was displayed in a manner calculated to tempt the senses of the most rigid prohibitionist. In spite of the magnifi- cent display, however, the visits of customers were few and far between,and the proprietors, who were gentlemen of tuxurious tastes and expensive habits, found difiicaltyin extract- iag from the pockets of those who notonly look upon the wine when itisred but also drink it,the wherewithal to supply their needs. This state of things was by no means encour- aging, but both Harry and Phil were of a san- guine disposition, and cherished the belief that the bibulous portion of the community could not much longer resist the chaste beauty of their splendid sign, and that once Inside the salvon, no one would leave as long asa dollar remained to purchase the generous liquors that were so attractively dispiayed. The creditors, by soft and soothing speech, were induced not only to refrain from pressing their claims, but were also persuaded to let the partners have a further supply of materials for concocting the cup that cheers and also irequently inebriates. Kutin spite of all cus- tomers persistently remained away, creditors xrew weary with waiting, and Messrs. Henry and Philip became the victims of that hope a bi which proverbiaily maketh the heart sick. As it became evident that something had to be done, the gentlemen in question deter- inined to cutthe Gordian knot and leave the city without beat ofdrum,. Preparations were carefully and quietiy made, the stock on hand was disposed of, and on Wednesday night asudden flitting took place. MR. J. W.

FOURTH STREET. a ae ee A CIRCUS WRECK. -_— Oe OTe JOHN ROBINSON’S SHOW SMASHED AT THE UNION DEPOT. os An Opened Switch Causes the Derailing of the Train—A Stakeman, George Squires, Killed—Wild Animals Create a Panic in the Depot Ottices—A Heavy Loss of Circus Material. The accident to John Robinson’s circus train atthe Union Depot late yesterday after- noon, afull account of which appeared in the extra Post- DISPATCH lastevening, was caused by the opening of a puzzle-switch near the Twelfth street bridge, at the Union Depot. The train was being moved at a high rate of speed to take adventage of the open tunnel. There was one engine infront and one behind, The engines were not stopped immediately, and the rear cars were thrust upon the wrecked cars atthe switch creating the wildest con- fusion. There were many persons in the Union Depot at the time, and many had been at- tracted to the place to see the train go by. The circus had been doing the Far West all season, and was on its way to Cincinnati, where it will go into winter quarters, under charge of Gill Robinson and George Fisher. The train arrived from “Se- dalia yesterday morning, and some delay occurred in getting the train ready to go through the tunneland over the bridge. The move was not made until about 4 o'clock, and shortly aiterward the accident occurred. Itis not known how the switch opened, but spec- tators say two boys climbed up.n the switch to watch the passing train and they are sup- posed to have moved the arm around, dis- placing the rail. GEORGE SQUIRES, astake man who lived at Indianapolis, and was to leave the train at that point, was seated on oneof the caves when the wreck occurred. He was thrown violently to the ground and a car toppled overupon him. When the body wastaken out it was seen he had been Instantly killed. His skuil was fractured, both arms were broken and his clothing was a! most torn from his body. Other canvas and stuke-men were thrown from the train, but not one was seriously burt. In- mates of the coaches were thrown violentiy aguinst seats, and many sustained painful though not serious injuries. Mrs. and Miss Fisher received scalp wounds from contact with the seats. THE WRECK occurred under tbe eyes of several hundred people, who were standing dangerously near the train. These persons had barely recov- ered from their first fright when the animals who had been confined in cages on flat-cars that were thrown trom the track began to crawl forth from the wreck. This caused in- tense excitement and there was a rushing for places of safety. The animals freed were not the most ferocious inthe train, but the fact thatthey were wild animals was enough forthe crowd. Aleopard dashed away as soon as he could release himseif from the debris o! the cage, and ran toward the depot. He entered the Union Depot building and finding a dark stairway ran up to see if a place of safety was not near. The clerks in Superintendent Thompson's office vacated asthe leopard ap- proached and closed the door, Over the trun- som went the leopard, and Clerk Garrett from the shed outside the window endeavored to calm the beast with a revwolver. He fired one shot, which caught the animal's nose. This made thesituation more full of danger for the empl: yes on the sheds outside the office, as the infuriated beast sprang at the windows, bDreuking the glass. Some circus men entered with a tarpaulin, and deftly throwing it over the leopard, secured him. He was placed in a box and conveyed to the train where he was placed in acage nearly suffo- cated and frightened terriblv. A MOUNTAIN LION escaped from the wreck and had possession of Jay Gould’s depot sheds for fifteen minutes, the police being energetic in holding the crowd away from biw asthey would have been had Mr. Cleveland been substituted for the lion. The attaches of the circus used the tar- aulin and effected the capture of the little rute. An ibex which escaped was lassoved, as was also a gnu, the latter only after it had been sportive withthe crowd and Policeman Barney Burke. Other animals were also re- covered. The body of Squires was removed tothe Moreus. Wreckiug apparatus was at once brought [Into action and the track cieared. The train willgo on to Cincinnati. Mr. Fisher suid it was now impossibie to estimate the amount of damage, but placed a probable figure op the loss of $100,000, ———e eee rrasaS-—t—“‘CSCéC HK ANOTHER WILD ANIMAL, His Escape Almost Precipitates a Panic at the Uniosm Depot.

Mr. Verner hada white-faced, ring- tailed monkey which bad been raised a pet and which he did not want to carry with him to Europe, but disliked to leave in careless hands, and so he expressed it to the St. Louis ‘*Zoo’’ with a polite note in which he donated his pet tothe Garden. The monkey was taken out of the boxin which it was shipped, and last evening was permitted to roam about the oftice of the Secretary on Chestnut street. ‘*White Face,’ for that it seems is his name, made bimself at home tmmediately, and per- formed several interesting acrobatic feats to the delight of Arther Uhl, doe Mullery and the office boy. He jumped around in the air, hung suspended by his tail from the chan- deliers, and climbed the walls of the office in a inanner so daring thatsome regard was felt for his personal safety. He was not injured, however, and after armusing himself and his small audience for some minutes, he was put back in his cage and sent out to join his brothers in the monkey house.
