Then he threw himself down on the floor and cried as if his heart would break. Was the old woman going to send word to the Master? That was a terrible thought and one he couldn’t get rid of. He lay there alone all day, and it wasa sitive relief when the old woman re- — rned and the ragged crowd of the even- ing before began to otraggle in. The re eyed him and whispered to each other in undertones. He didn’t mind them much, but when Sissy“ ve him the same glance of indifferent curiosity he re- turned her a look of indignant reproach that seemed to surprise and move her, for a pet look stole into the dark little face. he pinched or struek her, she wouldn't mind at all, but such a look as that called up the scraps of better feelings rr Sissy felt very uncomfortable in- ee * After a supper of cold victuals eaten out of baskets, all left except Rn old woman.

She didn’t make any mats, but crouched over the _ grate, rais- ing her head now and then to take a drink out of a black bottle. Pretty soon her head nodded; she straightened up with a jerk, then felt around on the fioor for the black bottle which had slipped from her hands. Donald now slipped to the door, but it was locked. His move- ment seemed to have caught the woman’s attention, for she muttered an ugly oath and, getting up from her place by the flre, crept to the door and laid down before it. Then Donald began wondering what to do. He knew the key was in the old woman’s pocket, and had just about screwed his courage up to try and get the key, when he heard a low tapping at the win ow.

WASHINGTON, D. C., the total ordinary receipts of the Government penditures were $815,835,428; leaving a surplus from tbe cash balance in the Treasury of $24, - 455,720 makes a total surplus of $80,023,570, which was offered to the redemption of bonds. The receipts for the year show an Increase of $84,968,550 over the year before and the ex- penditures show an increase of $25,449,061, For the present year the revenues are esti-« mated at $888,000,000 and the expenditures $316,817,715, leaving an estimated surplus of $66,182,214 Jane 30, 1888. The Secretary esti- mates’ the surplus for the year 1889 at $56,- 469 , 206. HE SURPLUS REVENUE. In mand to the surplus revenue the Seere- tary says: ‘‘Taxation and — reform were the questions which my distinguished redecessor deemed to be of most mportance, and to them he devoted a part of the twoannual reports which he made to the Congress. In those reports he stated his honest convictions with a vigor and boldness which, together with the abil and fairness that he showed in the 5 management ot pin departmen given him a piace among statesmen and @nanciers. I find the same sub- jects to be still the most important of all those to which it is my duty to call your attention, and it is not necessary to do otherwise than follow the general lines laid down by him in treating them. Circumstances have height- ened the immediate urgency of taxation re- form as affecting the surplus revenues of Government. e urgency is so great that the question of surplus revenues demands the earnest attention of both the legislative and executiye branches of the Government.’’ HOW IT I8 TO BE DONE. The Secretary then gives the following W in which the receipts and expenditures of bal ta sgn may be made about equal: The purchase of the interest-bearing debt 10 the Government. other purposes than the purchase of bonds, so that they shall each year equal the taxation of that year. 8. duction of the revenue from taxation to the amount actually required to meet nes r essary expenses, All of these expedients havein common the one merit of preventing the derangement to business which must follow hoarding or locking up in the Treasury the cireuluting media of the people.“ In regard to the first plan the Secretary agrees with the President in his m the same subject. He then. says; believ® that it will adopt the second dient. viz., the enlargement of Government expenses simpy to expend money ee taxation wher the public weal does not oth wise call for the expenditure. INTERNAL REVENUE. Reduction of the revenue from taxation is the only fit remedy for the evils which plished in various ways. One is to reduce or abolish internal revenue taxation. In taven or this isthe fact that in a small part of the southern States the internal liquors and tobacco is oppressive and is odious to these regions, and the further fact that by reduction the expenses of its collection m be somewhat reduced. The chief cause the prejudice against this tax seems to be thas as there was no such tax before the war for the Union, it Is looked u of the measures adopte to carry on the war, and which ou not to be continued in time of peace, = interfering in some way with the nat rights of mankind to grow grain and to 5 and manufacture therefrom spirits snuff, and the various forms of mere tobacco. Of course taxation of whisky tobacco trespasses no more upon the rights of man than does the taxation of clothing, of his bedding, of every mee which he uses in the cultivation of and tobacco and inthe distillation or facture of the same. The burden of the tax is direct, known, fixed; the whole . the O THE GOVERNMENT'S TREASURY — of the other is indirect known, and only a portion of it comea inte every merchant must take, as the clothing tools pass through his hands on their journey to them from the foreign or domestic mand facturer. Taxation there must be. @Choice i between kinds of taxation; each man can cide for himself, if he will examine tl the su — free from prejad joe, which Is urdensome for him, for his neighbors, end better country.

If the CIRCULATION OF er ANDARD SILVER DOLLARS. The Seport shows that the circulation of the stand 164.05 —— * * 0 ur ° to Fate Pee 4 : t 1 the 8 says: One of the most interesting facts shown the foregoing statements is the decrease in the . number of standard silver dollars ‘ou ; * ornment. 1 a ‘enough silver beside that held outstanding certificates to enable the Gov- * own the Government and the increased use of the same money by the peopie in the form of ailver certificates. The five, two and one dol- lar certificates furnish a converient currency, it is evident that the future use of the silver doliar will be almost exclusive in that form. The law should be so amende asto authorize the Secretary of the Treas- — 5 to issue certificates against the coining value of the bullion bo t. and to coin only such number of dollars as he might deem expedient hereafter. It would be a neg- lect of duty did I not call the attention of the congress to certain safeguards which t to be thrown about the standard silver to protect from possible loss the — og among whom it and its representa- tive, the certificate, is so universally distrib- uted, time when there may be more of that form of money than is required for the business ofthe country. The firstsymptom of this will be increasing ownership of silver by the Gov- This increase will take place because the Government pays to the poor that kind of currency which they wish to have — receives from them —_ or B banal oe wish to pay; consequently the Vv will sovutatinte the form of money which the public least desires.’’ PREVENTING ACCUMULATION OF SILVER. „There should always be in,the treasury against ernment to atonce supply any demand for it on the part of the people; but all held in the Treasury in excess of that amount is abso- lutely useless for any purpose and is, in ae! nh menace to the silver which the people hold and also to the United States notes and Na- tional Bank notes—to the whole circulating medium, except gold; therefore it would be tne part of wisdom to prevent any accumulation of silver in the Treasury beyond a sufficient re- serve needed to meet any demand which may be made for it. This can be done by fixing the amount of such reserve, and providing thatiwhen it exceeded by say $5,000,000,the pur- chase of bullion shall cease until the amount held by the Government again equals such re- serve. Another plan, an somewhat similar to that recommended by my 33 sor in his last annual report, would be to pro- vide that when the reserve was exceeded, an amount of United States notes equal in value to such excess should be cancelled, if enough of them were in the Treasury; but if not, then the purchase of bullion to cease until the maximum reserve should be reached. This would create a vacuum in the circulating medium which would be filled by silver. The amount of United States notes would be gradu- ally reduced until the whole were extinguished Silver dollars or silver certificates would take the place of United States notes asthey were retired. This plan would make our cur- rency more uniform and as secure as now. Neither of these plans if adopted would di- minish the actual or potential use of silver as currency by a dollar. In my jugment it would be promoted thereby. . The balance of the report is taken up with reports of customs, revenue, marine, emigra- tion and the coast survey. A General Christian Conference. Wasn Nero, D. C., December 7.—A general Christian Conference, under the auspices and direction of the Evangelical Alliance for the United states, opened in this city this morning. The Congregational Church, in which the Con. ference met and which is one of the largest in Washington, was completely filled when President Dodge called the meeting to order and briefly stated the reasons which led to the gathering and the results hoped for. The Alliance, he said, had thoughtfully studied the social and economic changes in the country and sought to know whether existing Christian organizations were sufficient to meet growing needs. Hereferredtothe organized ower of the saloons, and said the chureh ad lost its hold on the workingmen. Every- where among them is unrest and a looking for higher good. This meansa grand oppor- tunity and a turn for an applied Christianity. He said this gathering was called that facts may be presented and a conference held as to the 4 and the responsibility. At the conciusion of President Dodge’s ad- dress, the Hon. John Jayof New York, spoke at length, and the discusion was con- tinued by Rev. P. S. Pherson of Chicago. Notice was given that Justice Strong of the United States Supreme Court would proceed at this afternoon’s session, Senator Col- Georgia at the evening sés- Justice Harlan of the United States Supreme Court to-morrow at the forenoon session.

Paris, December 7.—According to private advices from Warsaw the massing of Russian troops on the frontier is attributable to in- formation received by Russia q a concerted plan by Germany and Austria for united action in the event of war be- tween either of those Powefs and Russia. In that contingency it was proposed that Ger- many and Austria should invade sudden! yRus- sian Poland and occupy Warsaw, by using their greater facilities for mobilizing. In con- sequence of the discovery of this alleged proj- ect, Russia resolved to compensate for her slow power of mobilizing by a permanent in- crease of her frontier forcés. The move im- plies no aggression, but isa purely defensive precaution. WAIT AND SER. BERLIN, December 7.—The National Gazette, discussing the Vienna Fremdenblatt’s article relative to the massing of troops on the Rus- sian frontier, says: ‘‘It is evident that the force of Russian troops now in Poland is not sufficient to attack two formidable military powers. The present massing of troops is too smallfor war and too large for peace. We must waitand see how Russia will reconcile the massing with the pacific assurances of the Journal de St. Petersbourg.’’ A RUSSIAN HINT. Moscow, December 7.—The Gazette says the future policy of France will decide whether Germany will be compelled to watch one or both her frontiers. The paper declares that Russia must always have a strong fleet in the Pacific Ocean. AN AUSTRIAN MILITARY COUNCIL.

THE VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE. Democratic Caucus Noniinees Elected — Gov. Lee’ Impértant Message. RICHMOND, Va., December 7.—The Gen- eral Assembly of Virginia met to-day at noon ind organized by elect- ing the Democratic caucus nominees, Gov. Lee’s message contains many important suggestions relative to State matters. In view of the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court bearing on the Virginia debt question, the Governor recommends the passage of a joint resolution suspending legal proceedings against those who have tendered coupons in payment ofthe taxes, as he was assured by authority that such action would decidedly benefit all parties concerned. He thinks when the bondholders consider this decision they willbe willing to accept such offer as the State can make, based upon the surplus revenue to be applied to the payment of interest on the principai of what the State considers her just debt. — THE HENDRICKS MONUMENT.

Subscribers to the New Stock Responsible— Amount Collected. Receiver Stephens deposited this morning to the credit of the creditors of the Fifth National Bank $7,624. This makes a total collection of 15 per cent of the claims against the bank. The receiver has written e manager of the Clearing-house asking r an interview on the subject of the worth of checks sent by the bank he Clearing-house on the day the bank ned. Manager Chase is sick at present. The Receiver that the $63 , 000 worth of checks be returned and the checks against the bank sent to the Clearing-house the same day must take their chances with the other depositors’ claims. The Receiver has as yet heard nothing from the Comptroller concerning the point raised by the subscribers to the new stock that- they cannot be stockholders, because all of the new stock was not subscribed. From his examination of the law, however, the Receiver has come to the conclusion that these subscribers are stockholders. The de- cision of this question makes a difference of about $300,000 in the assets of the bank. Henry Hirschberg says that the statement inamorning paper thatthe bank has a bal- ance of $75 against him is incorrect. The H.

Last Friday night, while we were engaged at the office and Our wife was over to see the Widow McGinnis, some base thief entered Our house and stole Our watch, which was out of repair, but valued at $3. We demand to know whether Constable Hank Smith was elected to sit on his coat tails in Green’s grocerv and play checkers, or to protect the people from the hands of the despoilers? Hank is a good fellow, and his subscription to the Kicker is always paid in advance, but duty is duty. Our wife is notin good health, and the shock of losing Our watch has almost upset her. Our dog has also been acting strangely of late, leading our neighbor, Judge Hobbs, who, by the way, is building an addition to his woodshed,and will probably be a candidate for Governor this fall, to remark that he may have been poisoned.

Although the subject Is so old that it may be doubted whether there be anything new to sy about it, nevertheless my experience with this remedial agent has been euch hat I may truly say that no remedy which I have ever employed has given me so much pleasure and profit as this partio- ular one. Selecting a number of chronic hypochon- driacs whose afiictions had baffied all my previous eflorts as my subjects, I was truly astonished to note that, although no rigid diet was prescribed, and only s limited amount of exercise was in- dulged in, I obtained most remarkable results— the complexion even after a week's use began to clear up, the step became more firm and elastic, and, what was more, the entire host of hypochon- driacal complaints seemed to vanish like mist, These surprising results bade me pause, and 1 then set about i diet and exercise having been left entirely out of consideration in several of the cases, I proceeded to use the Crystallized sprudel Salz, which being obtained bp evaporating the waters, I must surely be the remedial agent. But alas! when I came to use this, by dissolving it in ord- nary water or in carbonic acid water, I invariably failed to get so prompt an action, and in the ma- jority of cases utterly failed to get that peculiar therapeutic effect which I had obtained from the imported mineral waters themselves. There was something at fault with either my argument os the Sprudel Balz. On looking up the stbject 1 found that at Carlsbad the salt was only recom- ménded and used asan addition to the mineral waters to act as apurgative when the waters failed in that respect. The analysis of the salt I found did not tally with that of the mineral waters, so fora time at least! fell back on the use of the imported Carlsbad waters, until my attention was called to experiments made by Dr. Jaworski of Cracow with Sprudel Salz Pow der.“ I then determined to give this atrial. The . chemical analysis of the Powder Sprudel Salz cer- tainly more nearly corresponded to that of the mineral waters,and upon trial I found that I could obtain the same effect with the Sprudel Sals Powder. The first case upon which I tried it was so unique that I was literally dumbfounded at the result. weighed but seventy-five pounds bad in that time increased in weight to 190 pounds—a gain of 115 pounds. She came to me for treatment, laboring under all the symptoms that would naturally be expected from such an enormous increase in weight. I put her first upon the Orystallized Sprudel Salz, only to be disappointed; when, after several weeks, I used the Sprudel Sah Powder, I was really startled to note the effect. In eight days—t. e., from Wednesday to the next Thursday—she lost sixteen pounds, an average of two pounds per day, and was in consequence los- ing all the symptoms she had so much complained of. The woman had inthe meantime been in- dulging in her customary diet, even to drinking several glasses of beer daily, and, being & market woman, she had been debarred from taking any extra exercise. This, then, veri- fied my theory that it there was any therapeutic action in Carlsbad miueral waters it ought to have the same effect without the usual adjuncts of a Carisbad cure, namely, diet and exercise. In the very next case, 4 mild one of diabetes mellitus, the sugar disappeared entirely after its use, the patient only abstaining from fresh fruits, and that because it caused too great a looseness of his passages. How the Sprudel Saiz Powder acts in diabetes mellitus Iam unable to say, aud must content myself with stating facts only. I will not tire you with a recital of any more cases; I have arranged these in a tabular form attached to this paper. Sufficient, I think, has airéady been said to warrant calling your attention to a reme- dial agent that in one form at least has been known and used by the profession for the last tour centuries. As to the mode of administration: The dose of the imported mineral waters may be set down as two orthree glasses of about six ounces each, drank slowly im the morning’ an hour before breakfast, another glass during the morning or afternoon ,and one or two before retiring at night. The dose of the Sprudel Salz Powder is about ona teaspoonful dissolved in a glassful of water, taken three times a day, either one hour before or two hours after meals. That of the crystallized Spru- del Salz is from one to two teaspoonfuls dissolved in a glassful of water as a purgative. It is generally recommened to continue the treatment for at least three or four weeks. The water has a very pleasant taste, and is best taken cold, only, when a less purgative action is desired, or in case of diarrhea, itshould be taken warm. As to diet, experiments of Dr. E. Hiawacek and others, as wellas my own, prove that any diet otherwise not contra-indicated by the disease may be indulged in during the continuance of the treatment. The effect of exercise, although not found es- sential, is a factor which I think ought not to be lost sight of, especially where the disease is caused by sedentary babits. As to the difference between the crystalized and Sprudel Salz Powder, I would say that both Ht Ey : 5 2 11 2 Fd 4 — * N * 1 * a 5 * 1 vs - i ee A 2 7 a * ‘ 4 * ; 9 * — — 6 — 3 4 * 42 A woman who five years before had 7 2 9 — 22 > r ~~ 3 ~ g * — = ; *

The Christmas trade has fully set in, and by the middle of next week will be at its height. There is but little purchasing being done by the local merchants, who have generally laid in a complete assortment of everything they require, but the merchants from the towns tributary to st. Louis are coming to the city in unusual numbers for the purpose of replenishing their stocks preparatory to the Obristmas trade. The principal influx at present is from the smaller towns of Kansas and Northern Texas, witha considerable number from Arkansas. The trade with Missouri and Southern Lilinois will not set in for a week or two, as the merchants in these sections of the country can re- ceive their goods by freight within a day or two faiter they have made their purchases, and can therefore wait until Christmas is close at hand before ordering, while those less conveniently situated as re- gards their base of supplies feel obliged to make their purchases at an earlier date. The influx is more noticeable in the smaller hotels than in the larger houses, but the latter will begin to fillup by the middle of next week or the firstof the week after. The merchants who have already come tothe city have made 1 decidedly larger than has formerly een their custom, and the prospects fora very active Christmas trade are cellent. most ex- North St. Louis.

Mary Conners was arrested in the Third District this morning for stealing a small scarf from the front of J. H. Monahan's store, No. 698 Frauklin avenue. A basket of clothing was left at Gissy & Schlarmann’s grocery store a few &. ago, by a white man who failed to call for it afterward. It is now at the Third District Station. An order has been issued b McCuliough, manager of the Benton—Belle- fontaine Street Car Company, prohibiting drivers from conversing with passengers while on duty on the cars. The Knights of Labor, Benton Assembly, will give an entertainment to-night at Mann’s Hall, North Broadway. The District Dramatic Club of the K. of L., under the man- agement of A. I.

A Fight Over the Contract for Removing Dead Animals—The New Commissioner of Public Buildings to Enter Office To- Morrow—A Summons to the Officers of the Gas Trust to Produce the Agreement With the Companies. a The bill providing for an amendment to the city charter levying a special tax to pay for street sprinkling was. passed in the House of Delegates last night, and to-day was certified ta the Coun- cil for concurrence in the amendments made in the House. Under the amendment made it is proposed to add the following sec- tion to the city charter, which is the instru- ment that fixes the powers of the Assembly to assess special taxes: Su. 29. The Mayor and Assembly shall have power within the city, by ordinance, to cause the streets and public places of the city, or any part of the same, to be sprinkled, and the cost of such sprinkling to be assessed as a special tax on the property fronting or bordering on the street or pyblic place where the sprinkling is done, in the proportion that the linear feet of each lot fronting or bordering on the street or pub- lic place so sprinkled bears to the total num- ber of linear feet of all property chargeable with the special tax aforesaid, in the 3 embraced by the contract under whic said sprinkling is done. Provided that the cost of sprinkling shall never exceed, during any one year, 20 cents per linear foot of street. The tax bill herein spoken of shall be a lien on the property charged therewith from the date of its issue, and shali be governed by the pro- visions of sections 24,25 and 26, of Article ,of the city charter, so far as the same are appli- cable ghareto, and by such other provisions in relation to the same as may be established by ordinance. This amendment to the charter will be voted on at the election to be held on the last Tues- dayin February. The amendment must re- ceive three-fifths of the votes of the qualified voters. The only additions made to the original bill drawn by Councilman Blakely weretwo amend. ments, the first fixing the maximum tax and the second making the ordinance take effect immediately upon its passage. Within a week the bill will be forward to the Mayor, and no- tice of election will be published. The matter will then be in the hands of the voters. The New Commissioner. Mr. Thomas J. Furlong, whose bond as Commissioner of Buildings was approved last night, will take hold of the office to-morrow. Several ofthe employes of the Commission- er’s office have been appointed during the administration of Mayor Francis, and will probably not be disturbed by the new Com- missioner. A Contract Fight. To-day one of the Meat Inspectors reported to the Health Commissioner that he had several hundred pounds of condemned meat on hand ready for the dead animal contractor. A hunt was made for the contractor, but he could not be found at the office used by the parties who formerly held the contract for re- moving dead animals. When the contract was awarded by the Board of Health on the Ist inst. to Michael Becker, Ed Butler, who was repre- sented among the bidders, secured the rendering factory used in East St. Louis. Becker still holds his contract and has notified the Board that he has secured ground for a new rendering establishment, and will soon be ready to fill the terms of his agreement. Butler to- day stated thatof thirty-nine dead animals reported from various points about the city on last Sunday only seven were removed and that the remainder, withthe carcasses of animals that; have since died, are scattered about the city. The subject will be discussed at the meeting of the Board of Health to-mor- row. The Gas Investigation. To-day subponas were served on President W. H. Thompson and Mr. H. L. Newman of the Gas Trust, citing them to appear before the joint Committee of the Municipal Assembl and to produce the agreement entered into between the gas companies and the trust. President Thomp- son states that he has not had possession of the original agreement and was only in- formed that a document in his possession was acopy of the agreement. The subpona was issued under the direction of City-Counselor Bell and is warranted tostanda iegal exam- ination. The committee met at 3 p.m. to continue the investigation. A COOPERS’ CUT. Reduction of Wages in the Shops Through- out the City. A slight disturbance was occasioned yester- day in some of the cooper-shops of this part of the city by a reduction of wages. At Lammerswick’s shop, at Four- teenth vnd Montgomery streets, the proprietor reduced the wages from 10 to 9 cents per barrel, and the men quit work for fifteen to twenty minutes while they con- sidered the matter, after which they went to work at the reduced rate. At Schaperkotter’s shop nearby a similar reduction was made, but the pes A one to quit work was a trimmer who was paid bythe day. He left the premises and secured work else- where. At Franz’s shop at Thirteenth and Montgomery street, a reduction of one-half cent was made,but no trouble was occasioned. It is understood that the reduction in wages is being enforced in all the shops in the city, but it is thought that but little trouble will result from it. Raised Money Orders. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., December 7.—A man giving his name as Joseph Earhart was arrested here this morning for raising a money order from $1 to $80 and passing it on a business firm here. From his papers it seems that he has many aliases, and that he has been work- ing a similar or other swindies elsewhere. The postal authorities have information of raised money orders in Philadelphia, Baltimore, New York, St. Louis and Chicago. Three cases occurred in Chicago last week. Earhart is a person of fine address, about 35 rears old and says nothing. He is held under 1,500 to awuit examination. The Harper Trial. CINCINNATI, O., December 7.—Atthe Harper trial this morning Mr. Eckert of Wilshire,Eck- ert & Co., was recalled to give additional testi- mony on points upon which he was previously examined. Mr. Hinch, the assistant receiving teller, was then put on the stand and was ex- amined in the same line be has heretofore fol- lowed concerning the transactions of E. IL. Harper as shown by the books. The prosecu- tion expects to finish its testimony to-day. Base Ball Arbitration Committee. CINCINNATI, O., December 7.—The Base Ball Arbitration Committee is in session here to-day. To-morrow the American Association will hold its annual meeting.

And Capture Over $2,000 Worth of Stolen Property of All Descriptions — James Sprague and His Wife and the Valua- ble Collection They Had Piled Up— The Woman’s Shoe Curiously Leads to Her Identification—The Solution of a Num- ber of Burglarious Mysteries Arrived at To-Day. The police this morning made the most im- portant capture that has been effected here for over a year. It was brought about in a peculiar way too. Sometime ago a window was broken in Gliss’ saloon at No. 1204 South Seventh street for the purpose of burglaryaud Special Officers Frese and Schulte, the latter now deceased, arrested James Sprague, alias Herman, alias Graham, and George Meyers for the offense. In the Court of Criminal Correction the men managed to prove an alibi by the aid of a crowd of friends and were discharged. A dogofGliss’ had been poisoned, too, and Sprague, who lived in the alley just in the rearof the saloon, was also suspected of this act. One day a few weeks ago Officer Frese saw Sprague in the street and pointed him out to his new partner, Officer Zeigler, telling the latter where he lived and that he was a good man to watch. Zeigier resides at No. 924 Autumn street, he and Sergeant Worcester occupying a house together. Officer Hannon, who walks the beat was instructed to call Zeigler at 4 o’clock this morning as the latter was wanted for some special duty. When Hannon went to the house to arouse his brother officer he found a man and woman in the gangway. They made an attempt to run but he grabbed the man, the woman making herescape. Zeigler was called and when he had dressed himself he recog- nized the prisoner as the man whom Frese had pointed out to him on the street. The man was taken to the Four Courts, and then the officers went down to his bouse to effect the capture of his wife, Zeigier stating that he knew where they lived. It was evident that THE PAIR had been at his house forthe purpose of burg- larizing it. When the policemen arrived at the Sprague residence, they found Mrs. Spragne packing upeverything se aratory to skipping out. he house was filled with arti- cles of all kinds, and it evident glance that it was all property, as it was entirely out of keeping with its miserable surroundings. People living in alleys do not usually have large collections of silverware, costly lace handkerchiefs, plush mantel lambrequins, etc. The woman and her daughter, a child 12 years of age, were piace’ under arrest and, together with four well-filed trunks and a lot of loose articles, hauled to the Four Courts in the patrol wagon. There the stuff was examined und articles of eve conceivable kind There was silverware, elegantly sofa cushions, plush lambre- quins, costly clocks, re silk umbrellas, ictures, bric-a-bracandin fact all kinds of o furnishing goods and ornaments. There were kitchen utensils,even carpets and every- thing to be found in a house, except a bed and stove. Every other article that goes to make up the furnishings of a house was to be found among the plunder. The prisoners ‘‘threw up both hands,’’ as the police say, and admit- ted they had been going through houses in- Ciscriminately. It is not believed that the child had anything to do with the thefts, but the woman is known to have been in them. This couple have been committing burglar- les, one after another, for two months, past, and the articles found at the house are THE PLUNDER taken from more than a dozen different —— Sprague and his wife have confined their oper- ations to the south side of the city principally, nearly all the burglaries committed by them being done at houses south of Chouteau av- enue. Already the police know from the stolen property that the twain have committed several ifferent burglaries reported to them. It was known by the authorities that some gang was working houses in the southern part of the city, but so cleverly were the jobs performed that no trace of the cul- rits was ever left behind. Only once was ere any kind of aclew. This was when the residence of Mr. Eckerly, the wholesale gro- cer, was burglarized Sunday a week ago. The house is located at Morrison and Stoddard av- enues, and a footprint left by one of the thieves in the snow showed her to be a It was a 2 of a small ad of a lady's’ shoe, the curved inside of the heel proving this conclusively. A measurement of the shoe was taken at the time, and this morning it was found to exactly correspond with the shoe worn by Mrs. Sprague. Another thing which showed that there was a woman in the job was the fact that plush lambrequine had been cut from the mantels, plush hanging corner shelves taken down, lace curtains cut down, sofa cushivuns, tidies and other articles taken, which only a woman would th of stealing. of the things en were handiwork of Eckerly’s or the tat was nearly found. embroidered It con- lot of * SA and i hn : kinds t various other ki f articles, including two valuable table overs.

All told, there is over $3,000 worth of plunder inthe lot, and it in- cludes guitars, albums, field-glasses, orna- ments and every conceivable article. A tobac- co box and salt bag were found, both of which were fitted up with skeleton and all styles of keys, panel-cutters, drills, diamond glass- cutters and similar implements of the house- breaker. SPRAGUE is a low-set man, about40 years of age, and his wife a miserable looking creature 1 few years his junior. Their child is deaf and quite stupid-looking. To a reporter of this paper who called on him this morning Sprague said: I have no state- ment to make one way or the other. Lou know a lot of property was taken from your house, brought up here and identified as stolen?’’ 80 I have been told. „Don't you think they have you in a tight corner?“ f „Oh yes, I know that, but anything I might say would not better things any. They will find everything out anyway without my as- sistance.’ What were 2 and your wife doing in that eangw ay at such an unseemly hour?’’ We were not doing auytbing wrong. We just stepped in there, having been out on busi- ness, but just what I do not careto state.’’ MRS. SPRAGUE was found in about the same frame of mind as her husband. She evidently realized the pre- dicament they were in, but did not care to talk, saying: There is nothing I wish to say about this matter.’’ ‘‘Why were you packing up your things?, To leave the city?“ No; Lintended to move to another house.

Price of St. Paul, who has just arrived in the city from a business trip through Dakota and Montana, with a special view to purchasing wheat, remarked to a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter: ‘‘Thefarmers of Dakota are, as usual, in a very bad position as regards their crop. Whether the season is good or bad makes little difference to them, as the railroad companies have so arranged mat- ters tnat they reap whatever profit is to be derived, leaving the farmers with a bare living. The condition of affairs at the present time is afair sampleof the manner in which the farmers are bled. Fully 40,000,000 bushels of wheat are now harvested, and much of it sacked, but it cannot reach a market as there are no cars to haul it, and no prospectof any being obtainable. This refers to the lands along the Manitoba road, with which I am personally acquainted, but I understand the same condition of affairs prevails elsewhere. The farmers are generally in debt and cannot afford to carry their crops un- til transportation can be obtained, and no one wants to buy the grain with this uncer- tainty hanging overthem. Here the railroad company, or rather its directors, step in and offer a iow price for the wheat. The farmer is obliged to sell, and when once the transfer of all the wheat in a certain district is made, it is astonishing how easy it becomes to obtain enough freight cars to handle the grain. Hill and Ryan, the St. Paul millionaires, make hundreds of thousands of dollars ever year, and others make smaller but still very considerable sums. The plan is to pay the farmers pone enough to prevent them from abandoning their lands, and so hold out hopes that in future no lackwof transportation WIII occur. The plan works admirably for the railroads, bat is highiy disastrous to the farm- ers. „Another way in which the railroads have made large sums, continued Mr. Price, ‘‘is by the fostering of land bosses.’ This was done most thoroughly last year and was very skilfully managed, Emissa- ries of the railroads would induce a few people to settle on railroad lands, telling them that a station would be estab- lished in their vicinity. This would be done, and a little settlement would spring@ip. Ina short time a man, ostensibly a land specu- lator, but really one inthe employ of the rail- road, would come along, talk most extrava- gantly of the future of the town, and buy two or three lots from the sellers at very high prices, paying cash for his purchase. The sellers woul at once become the most active boomers in the town, and would spread far and wide the news ot the great profit they had made. Investors would stream in by hundreds, the railroads would quietly sell off their lands at the price they themselves had set by the original pur- chase, and the excitement would be kept at fever heat until every cent had been extracted from those who had been attracted to the town, when the matter would be allowed to — and the land would sink in value uutil it could be bought for a song. If the original sellers could be induced to reinvest and there- fore lose what they bad received at the begin- ning of the boom, and which had much to do with starting it, the railroads regarded that their success had been complete. This scheme must have netted millions to the directors, who managed things as they wished, and have nearly all made large fortunes within the last eighteen months.’’ Just received, all the novelties in etching.

Mrs. Bacon complained that her husband failed to sup- port her, that he whipped her repeatedly and gave way to habits of dissipation. Finally he abandoned her. There were four children, and the mother asked for their custody. THE ORDER REVERSED. Anderson Bailey prayed for a decree of divorce from Martha Jane Bailey. They were married in January, 1873, and lived together until last August. Mr. Bailey alleged that his wife treated him in a cruel and barbarous fashion, was violent and jealous without 2 and was continually fussing and ault finding without any cause. More than once she left home i carryin off the furniture, and even the cows and chickens. On one occasion she was arrested for beating her husband. The wife entered an answer in this case denying each allegation made by the husband except the marriage. FOLLOWED HIM ON THE STREETS. Louis Frowkin asked for a decree of divorce from Annie Frowkin. They were married April 24, 1884. Mr. Frowkin complained that his wife subjected him to various indignities, called him vile names and followed him on the streets with her abuse. She whipped the chil- dren unmercifully, destroyed the furniture and neglected her household duties. The father prayed for the custody of the children. DECREES FOR DESERTION. Lucy M. Farrow sought a decree of divorce from Wm. H. Farrow. They were married October 25, 1863, and lived together nearly twenty-three years. Mrs. Farrow allegea that her husband deserted her without cause or provocation. Decrees of divorce on the simple ground of desertion were also sought by Frederick Kobusch against Margaret Kobusch and by Edward A. Knipper against Josephine Knuip- per. INFATUATED WITH OTHERS. Johanna Herberg entcred a suit to-day in the Cireuit Court for a decree of divorce from Mar- cellus gt They were married June 19, 1879, and lived together until November 2% of the present year. Mrs. Herberg alleges that her husband was infatuated with another woman and ultimately he absented himself from his family. There were three children born of the marriage and the mother asks for their custody together with the restoration of her maiden name, Johanna Hendrichs. DUE TO A DRESS MODEL. Judge Dillon is hearring to-day the contested divorce case of Mrs. Johanna Schulze against Carl F. Schulze. The marriage took place on the 19th of October, 1881, and in April, 1886, Mrs.Schuize alleged that her husband absented himself without any cause or provocation. She asked for the decree on the ground of this de- sertion. The husband entered an answer de- nying the wife’s allegations except the mar- riage. Hetook the witness-stand and nar- rated several domestic scenes. Mostof the trouble appeared to have originated in the husband stumbling one day against a dress model. A war of words ensued and a step- daughter figured in the scene. The husband complained that his condition was rendered intolerable by the folks at home and it became no longer a home to him, THE DEVINE’S DOMESTIC LIFE. The trial of the Devine contested divorce case was called up in Judge Dillon’s Court to- day. The plaintiff in this case is the husband, Timothy Devine, against Mary Devine. They were married November II, 188, and they lived together until June 15 of the present year. Mr. Devine accused his wife of undue intimacy with other men, and complained that she absented herself from home at all hours of the day and evening without offering any explanation for her con- duct. He also, complained that she abused him in every way and rendered his condition intolerabie by a constant course of vexation and annoyance. The wife entered a cross-bill denying her husband's allegations and alleging that he was at all times insanely jealous of ber; that he had forbidden her even to speak to another man, and had forbidden the visite of relatives. On one occasion when the daughter and son- in-law called he put the ke of the front door in is and would not admit them. Devine further complained that her husband con- stantly accused her falsely of improper con- duct with other men and uttered gross false- hoods concerning her. They parted at one time as u result of it, but her husband prom- ised to retract and abstain from such remarks in future and a reconciliation was effected. In the end, however, Mrs. Devine was furced to back home to her father. Craig vs. Kearney; motions for new trial sustained. Wilsdon vs. Bohn; motion to retax costs sus- tained.

The Wholesale Pilfering of a Pretty Sales- girl at Rutland, Vt. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. RUTLAND, Vt., December 7.—Miss Flora Wetherbee, a very pretty and attractive young lady, well known and popular in social circles, was arrested at the instance of Lee A. Martin, a dry goods dealer, for whom she had been clerk two years. A search at her home was made, when $400 worth of goods were found in her room and about ber parents’ house, which Martin claimed came from his store. Thecase was heard yesterday. Spread out on tables in the court-room these goods give it the ap- pearance of a dry goods store. There were unbroken packages of worsteds and braids, whole pieces of ribbons of 1 dozen different colors and widths, pieces of silk and velvet, whole webs of cotton, several gross each of buttons, thread, laces, flunnels and underwear enough toclothe a family of twelve or fifteen. Miss Wetherbee claims that the articles were all purchased and paid for with her own money, but as there is such an army of things for which she could have no possible use, and as she was getting but $6 per week, such a claim seems impossible. As she has always born a good character klep- tomania was — — assigned as the cause. Her lawyer conducted the case with shrewd- ness. fithout — any defense at this time ha demands that Mr. Martin shall identify each and every article which he claims was stolen from his store. This is a very difficult thing to do. Antique armor for hall decorations. Just im- ported. Redheffer & Koch, 1000 Olive street. OUR NEIGHBORS. Items of Interest and Gossip From Adja- cent Towns.

Two Switchmen Horribly Mangled—Whitney Returns to His Home. Jacob Uttinger and Richard Berry, two well- known switchmen in the Wabash Railway yards, were terribly crushed in a collision which occurred last night about II o’clock inthe upper bridge yards. Uttinger’s legs were both so fearfully mangled that he cannot recover. Berry had oneof his arms crushed and was injured internally, but not fatally. Shortly after 11 o’clock the two men had charge of a loaded train of ‘about four cars, which were being hauled down on to a track inthe bridge yards frequently used by the Wabash. One car was being pushed by the engine and the others pulled. Uttinger and Berry were seated on the front of the engine which was being sent along ata ee rate of speed, the traigmen being perfectly confident thatthe track wasclear. A number of cars had been placed on the track, however, ashort time previous by a bridge 1 4 and when the box car being pushed by t e Wabash en- gine struck the first car of the train left on the track by the bridge engine the Wabash en- gine, on which Uttinger and Berry were seat- ed, dashed half way through the box car in front of it. The two switchmen were both frightfully mangled and it was sometime be- fore they could de extricated from their awful position. They were brought to the soggy | Depot reading- rooms where Dr. Wiggins and Fairbrother attended them, and they were then sent to the Wabash Hospital in St. Louis for further treatinent. rs. Fairbrother and Wiggins both considered Uttinger’s injuries fatal. Uttinger is a single man, but was to have been married in a short time to a young lady In the First Ward. Berry has a wife and five child- ren. WHITNEY AT Ho AGAIN. V. B.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. , December 7.—Informa- tion has been received of a desperate fight in a saloon at Georgetown, Eldorado County, be- tween Frank Hollingsworth, aged 24, and his stepfather, George Handy, 50 years old. Both had been drinking. Handy began the row and the stepson knocked him down. The old man got up quickly and in a rough and tumble fight that followed, struck his stepson with a dirk-knife back of the ear, the blade break- ing off and remaining in the skull. Hollings- worth paid no attention to the wound, but continued to beat and kick the old man till the latter was dragged away from him ap- arently dead. It was then discovered that he blade was still in Hollingsworth’s head. It had to be drawn forcibly with a air of pincers. The opera- tion frenzied Hollingsworth and he made a desperate effort to reach the almost dying old man and finish him. In his r he knocked down seven men, and then rushed into an adjoining store, and, breaking into a show-case, snatched a revolver to continue the fight. He could not get a cartridge to fit the weapon, and, while searching for one, loss of blood weakened him so that he fell to the floor. Itis thought that both will die from their injuries. — — — — * x! * 10 5 e 9 g ae. the ne 9 & 5 7 pe 9 . 4 1 GEO, D.

THE MESSAGE DOES NOT som seid teal THE VIEWS OF WOOL AND LEAD MEN. The President's Tariff Policy Said to Promise Destruction of the Mining Interest of Mis- souri and the Wool Commission Trade of St. Louis—Firmin Desloge Says the Lead and Zinc Mines of the State Will Shut Down—Morris Taussig Predicts the Dis- appearance of Western Wool—The Popu- lar Verdict on the Message. There was great interest taken in the mes- sage of the President sent to Congress yester- day. Throughout the entire business com- munity for two days past no other topic has at- tracted so much attention. The announcement in the Post-DIsPaTCH two days ago, that the message treated of only one subject, and that subject the t was sufficient to draw general attention to it. Its publication was awaited with interest and its appearance in the Post- Disraron of last even- ing was anxiously expected. Thousands of people who never read a presidential message before read the entire document. The gen- eral expression concerning it in business cir- cles this morning was one of strong approval. Even those who do not agree with the Presi- dent entirely in his views on the tariff question admired the strong common sense and the concise style of his communication to Con- gress. Free traders generally were jubilant in the belief that the big gun fired by the President was the opening of an engagement in which they would come off victorious. The chief anxiety about the result of the Presi- dent’s action was that expressed by gentie- men interested in the wool industry and in the mining industry of the State. Representative Clardy, who represents the ‘mining sec- tion of Southeast Missouri, Was quoted in Washington dispatches gs having said that the adoption of the President’s ideas would close every lead and zinc mine in the State. The interests in the Southeastern and Southwestern Missouri lead and zinc mines held in St. Louis are quite large, and attention having been called lately to the Joplin and Carthage district it was expected that a great deal of St. Louls capital would go into that section before next summer. The President’s message has naturally disturbed, to a certain extent, the serenity of the mining situation. FIRMIN DESLOGE who owns a large amount of lead property in Mr. Clardy’s district, believes with Mr. Clardy that the abolition of the tariff on lead and zine would destroy the mining industry of the State. would rather see the tax taken from to- bacco and whisky than from lead, said Mr. Desloge. ‘‘If the tax on imported ‘lead is re- moved the price of lead will be reduced to a E where it cannot be profitably produced this country. We import a smali quantity of lead now, but it the tariff on lead was abol- ished it would shut up every lead mine in the State.’’ pat country produces the largest amount ot lead? Spain. The great lead - produeing countries are — ain, England, 88 and Amemca.“ „What is the production 9 America; 7, About 130,000 or 140,000 tons a year.’ Do we use all that we produce?“ „„es. It is used in the manufacture of white lead, sheet lead, pipe and shot. What is used in ‘manufactures does not come back. That is a peculiarity of lead. Like paint, when it has been used itis gone. There is no second-hand lead material.’’ Where do we get most of our imported lead?’’ We get 7.000 to 10,000 tons a year from Mexico. It comes in with silver under the provision that silver ore shall be admitted free when the lead in the ore does not exceed the silverin value. As the lead is not worth any- thing in the place from which it is shipped it easily passes the Custom-house without pay- ing duty.’ lis there abroad?’’ No. The lead produced is about equal to the demand “If the world’s production is about equal to the demand, would not the demand from America in case the tariff was removed cause an advance In prices abroad, and consequently * prices throughout the world!“ ou are basing * argument on the 45 ent price of lead, cents a pound, which is really an unnatural price. The average price of lead is 442 cents a pound. The present con- ditions are exceptional and you cannot base a general argument upon them. The present price is the result of speculation. The specu- lators have taken hold of tin and copper abroad and now thes a has extended to lead with the result that prices are higher than they ordinarily are.’ „At what figure can lead be produced In Missouri?’’ At (cents the miner would be working on avery narrow margin. I speak of the average of the cost of production and treatment. Some mines can produce ore for much less. To abolish the tariff would be to discourage the development of low-grade mines and would do a very serious injury to our min ing industry. It is hard now to get capital to I lead. It takes $200,000 — $300,000 at least to go into an averagé lead property, and from that up to $500,000. All this is needed for the pre- liminary work and the machinery. Capital is ust beginning to develop the lead interests of issouri. Now if they begin to tinker with the raw material you could not persuade any one to go into a lead property.

No fashion could have become more com- pletely extinct than the once much abused custom of decorating every available piece of personal property with amongogram. At one time, not so very fur distant, a conglomora- tion of bierogiyphies was to be observed wherever they could be placed, and although . ever took the trouble to ‘decipher these twisted scrolis and letters it was somehow tacitly understood that their existenoe lent an additional importance to the owner of the article thus adorned. Nowadays,when fashions are gradually tending toward the simple and unobtrusive, we remark with pleasure that the monogram is becoming ex- ceedingly rare. Handkerchiefs though they may be bordered with the richest lace are in- nocent of embroidered letters, * 1 U and envelo are quite plain and best Style of seal used bears the impress o T5 small sme and nothing more.

From the Western Manufacturer. One of the factories in Chicago employs some 160 men and boys, and its spacious four floors present an interesting series of sights to the visitor whose nerves are steel and tympani proof against spliting. On the first floor he will see huge stacks and piles of glass in as- sorted sizes, ranging from 16 feet by 7 feet squares down to the smallest ovale for mirrors. These are all polished, some being run over huge felt covered wheels, kept powdered with rouge, and the larger ‘sheets scrubbed by ‘sweating tollers with hand blocks covered with telt Ie a printer’s proof planer in rouge. After the glass is thoroughly . — it is taken up to the next floor, Where it is laid on tables and cut into the sizes ordered. It then passes into the hands of the bevelers, who, with sand and water and large erindstonee, artistically finish the edges of the glass. It takes a trip upward again to another floor, and is once more put through . process to re- move any scratches or blemishes that may be on the glass. After every. spot or scratch, no matter how minute, has been removed, care- ful hands convey the now beautiful and sparkling glass to the room where it Hage through the final process, the silvering. tables of cast iron or stone, made like billiard tables, with raised edges, are used in the silvering room. These tables are of great strength and solidity, and all around the edges is a drain, for the super- fluous 8 8 poured over the tables in quantities sufficient to float the glass, after being tinfoiled, is gently and carefully ee across the table containing the mer- ury. Greatcare must be used to prevent blemishes, the Jeast speck of dust being ruin- ous to the mirror. Mereu , like molten lead, is always covered witha d rty- looking scum, which cannot be removed by skimming. The least bit of this scum would spoilthe mirror, so the difficulty is obviated by shoving the scum along with the edge of the glass. After successfully floating the glass on the mercury a woolen cloth is spread over the whole surface and iron weights are applied until the whole presents acompact mass of iron, two or three pounds tothe square inch: After this pressure has been confined for ten ortwelve hours the weights are removed and the glass placed upon another table of wood with aslightly inclinedtop. The inclination is gradually increased until the unamalgamated quicksilver has drained away and only the perfect amalgam remains, coating the glass and perfectiy adherent. This ends the pro- cess, and the erstwhile rough piece of plate glass emerges trom the silvering- room à gor - geous mirror. Death in the Pillow. From the London Daily News. Another note of domestic alarm is sounded this week bya correspondent of a medical journal who bids us take note of the fact that disease and death lurk in the very pillows and bolsters on which we lay our heads at night. It is easy to talk of down and feathers; but as afact, if they were cut open these articles would be often found to be more or less stuffed with the most heterogeneous materials. Pil- lows, bolsters and beds have been examined and found to contain portions of filthy, coarse black serge, apparently parts of soldiers’ old coat sleeves, pieces of dirty, greasy silk dresses, old worsted braid from the borders of women’s gowns, soiled linen rage, and colored calico, and even nuts and walnut shells, and pieces of crinoline wire. The bedding in this case was bonght new, we are assured, a few years ago of an expensive and respectable upholsterer. Moreover, a woman who was employed to do the unpicking work for the trade informed the lady of the house- hold that the practice of stuffing bedding with dirty rubbish and rags was very gen- eral, and that few beds or bolsters contain only the material of which they are supposed consist. This is terrible, worst of it that it the last, for the present, a long list of kindred discoveries which of late have powerfully contributed to give ironical force to the question, ‘‘Is life worth living?’’ Fortanately,in this case, the remedy involves nothing more difficult than ripping a seam or two and stitching them up again as soonas we have ocular proof of the contents. Bedding, as all good housewives know, Ought to be opened periodically, so that its contents may be beaten with sticks. In France bed-cleansing in this fashion is fol- lowed as a regular trade. Itis more than probable that the neglect of such sanitary precautions is, as The Lancet’s correspondent suggests, the cause of many of the mysterious — — of infectious disease in schools and amilies.

By PN niger from Jones, McCormick & Kennett, Chicago. to the Post-Di1sPATCH CHICAGO, December 7, 1 p. m.—There was a gen- eral rush to sell wheat at the 12. and under the pressure the market quickly broke to 83%c. The market then became quiet and at under Sac was left more or less to the scalpers, who found little for sale as it gained strength, and so were the principal cause of the reaciion to Sade. On this advance a prominent house sold heavily ana with a good deal of scalping stuff, which came out, managed to break the market, but buyers were numerous and quietly absorbed everything, thus Bailing out the sellers, who in short order found Ma Ze. The trading to-day has been large an the character of the market shows a radical change from the selling mania which pre- valled vesterday. From the information we get froin various points. we expect to see a material fallin offin the reeeipts of wheat. The market close bueyant and in shape to go higher. The tendency was to sell corn at the opening, and with a weak wheat market the result was a decided slump. Bloom came to the rescue on the break, and sustained the market, which took | care of itself, as wheat showed a better tone. Some further good buying at around 54c absorbed the offer- ings, and when wheat spurted corn willingty fol- lowed. The close was very tirm and looks higher. On lower prices for hogs and general bear influence provisions opened panicky, but the fright was of short duration. During the day the market gradual- ly hardened on light —2 Sleever has been a constant buyer and toward the close his buying with a rush of shorts to cover, put up the market sharply and closed it strong.

From the latter part of January up to the Ist of April the importations of wheat into the United Kingſſom from California, Ore * Chill, Australia, Russia and probably India will 8 small, so that we may * anticipate a good demand in our markets for wheatand flour during the months of February and March next to meet the then requirements of the United Kingdom.——Re- ports were that all Continental bourses were weak and lower and excited at Vienna. This is supposed to be over the idea that Russia was threatening Austria.——The usual autumn rains, 121 late, have commenced falling in California, much to the gratification of the farmers. From two and one-half to three inches of rain have fallen so far this season, which is much greater than during the same period of last year.——Imports into United Kingdom for week ending on given dates.

Toung Howard Potter’s Version of Miss Maggie Lloyd’s Inhuman Act. “By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. READING, Pa., December 7.—Young Howard Potter, who was so horribly burned with vitriol in the parlor of Dr. Frank Rieser by Miss Maggie Lloyd, afew days ago, was able , yesterday to give his side ofthe story of the desperate attempt to kill him. ‘pon of Gen. Potter of Painesville, O., and Potter is the this mother isa lady of Montreal, where Gen. Potter spends much of his time. “victim is not yet 21 years of age and quite and The vitriol ‘boyish in appearance. Potter was advised by his parents not to marry on account of his — he meant to obey them. He tried to manly and straightforward, apd broke off the engagement as gently as possible, but he discovered that Miss Lioyd’s vicious temper might cause him trouble later in years, and rather thau risk a life of misery, he deter- mined not to marry. He says he went to Miss Lloyd's house on Sunday evening as requested by her note. They calmly sat for nearly an hour talking over their separation. „„was sitting in an — chair,“ he says, and Miss Lloyd in another. When I finally told her of my decision she said she felt weak and excused herseif, saying she would go to her room fora little brandy which she kept there for illness. Inafew minutes she re- turned with a small wineglass filled witha dark liquid which I took to be brandy. She held the glass to me and asked me to take some. 1 refused, saying I did not need any. ‘Take some just to 2 me, she continued, and once more held the glass toward me. I did not smell anything but then, for the first time, I noticed awicked glare in ber black, glistening eyes. Justas I refused for the second time, she uickly drew back her right hand and said: “Then take it in this way,’ ande dashed the vitrol in my face. I had just time suflicient to to close my eves, or I would have received much of the contents in my eyes. It felt as if red-hot coals were clinging to my face and eating into the blood. 1 clapped my handkerchief on my — face ran to the kitchen. n m confusion and agony I tried to wash the stu off with water. The heat then became more intense and I hurried out of the house toa mear-by restaurant and sent for a doctor. Miss Lioyd did not bold a handkerchief to my eyes, butshe deliberately dashed the vitriol rightinto my face. A few minutes before that she had vowed her eternal leve and said she could not live without me. That is the truth, and reluctant as I am to speak about ft, yet the truth might as well be known.’’ Miss Lloyd has left the city for Pottsville. Before going she looked at the scar on her right hand, caused by a few drops of the vitriol that fell on her, and exclaimed: love that scar; I could look at it forever. Later she said: ‘‘I have Welsh in my blood and am proud of it.“ Yesterday she was in tears and bewailing her fate, sorry that she ever did such an inhuman act. Potter will be terribly disfigured to his dying day. The left side of his face will be black and indented like a cancerous affliction. His many friends deeply sympathize with him.

New Lokk, December 7.—In club circles there is a deep speculation as to the probable fate of E. Berry Wall. The story is current that he is being pursued by aman with blood in his eye and a personal claim in his pocket. The ‘‘King of Dudes’’ is as badly frightened as a fox chased by a pack of hounds, and runs to cover on the least suspicion that his enemy ison the trail. He is in adisagreeabie situa- tion, especially embarrassing forone of E. Berry Wall’s prominence in society about town. The funny part of the interesting case is that the claim is repudiated by the young man, who swears that its only ground- work is blackmail, as he can prove by halfa dozen, more or less, witnesses to the transac- tion which is at the bottom of the troubie. Tue only explanation thus far vouchsafed is the — villain is Mr. Walls im- ml discharged valet, and an encounter with @ne’s ex-servant would be in shocking bad férm and awfully scandalous. All dude- dom if in a flutter of nervous apprehension and oceans of sympathy have been poured into the King’s left ear. Berry said last evening that the valet persisted in making a tank of himself, and notwithstanding re- ted warnings became so terribly drunk he was Uischarged. According to the master’s statement he dismissed and paid the valet in the presence of Boniface John Cham- n, and gave the fellow $15 more than was ehim. In duetime the valet sobered up, lected his wits and such other b gage as he could lay claim te, and followed Mr. Wall to this city. He has been following him regu- — Meh since, and bothering him for $90 back pay. There have been one or two stormy scenes between the two, and one of them occurred in the New York Olub- house. The story was too good to keep,and now It is all over town. Fred May and some of his cronies discovered Wall in Delmonico’s after the club- house scene, and sent an anony- mous note that the valet was coming to the cafe. Mr. Wall's departure was precipitous if not graceful, and to cap the climax he ran —— into the arms of May, who expressed a rofound interest in the case and got the sus- ceptible and es young man to tell the story of his persecution. ay has sworn to tect E. Berry Wall from the insults of the ebeian white slave and has promised to knock out on sight. TWO HUNDRED more free crayons.

THE OPINIONS OF MANAGERS ON THE MILLENNIUM BASE BALL PLAN. ~* St. Louis“ Delegation Leaves for Cincin- nati—The Meeting To-Morrow—The High- Saiaried Ball-Player and the Evils Thereof—President Ven der Ahe’s Sale of His Players Endorsed— Trainer Thomas’ Success—Base Ball Matters—Sporting News. The St. Louis delegation to the annual meet- ing of the American Association left last night for Cincipnati. It was composed of President Von der Ahe, George Munson, William Sharsig of the Athletic Club, and Mr. Joseph Pritchard of this city. The latter gentleman goes along as an interested spectator merely, and not to work for the Secretaryship of the Association, as he has withdrawn from the race for that place. The Association will meet to-morrow, and one of the subjects to be discussed will be the **millennium’’ plan, a detailed description of of which, revised by its author, Mr. Richter of Philadelphia, was published in the Post- DISPATCH Of Monday. The plan is certainly a good one, but managers as a rule do not in- dorse it, for the reason that it would help to destroy the clubs, which years of patience have builtupand which bave been put to- gether at greatexpense. It is not probable, then, the plan will be adopted. — A WISE MOVE, President Von der Ahe's Scheme of Reorgan- izing the Browns Strongly Indorsed. From the Boston Globe. President Von der Ahe, der boss manager“ of what he supposed was der boss bali nine,“ until it met the Detroits, will not recognize his new team when he calls the roll in the spring. The St. Louis Browns of 88 will be less like the team which has just won the American Association championship than this year’s Chicagos were like Anson’s star high- kickers of 86. Von der Ahe is trying Al Spald- ing’s policy right over again, only going ita little steeper. When the League magnate who started out asapitcherof ye ancient style, and is about ready to retire a millionaire—mainly because he knowsathing or two about base ball— coolly parted with histhree outfielders and half his pitching force the always-to-be-found- know-it-alls said he would rue the day he let his left bower and three other valuable play- ers go. Now,I don’t believe he has seen the minute he regretted his move. If he was run- ning a ball nine for glory alone he might have wished he had stopped to look before he jumped. But he isn't. Al Spalding is in base ball for the dollar there is in it. So is Von der Ahe, and so ate all the rest of them. Of course, they like to win the championship. If you go into a contest itis human nature to Want to appear to better advantage than all your com- petitors. But boodle must come with theglory or the fun is all for the dear public and not at ali for the manager, The books of the Chicago Club show a bigger balance for 1887 than for many a season. That is why Spalding laughs last and so laughs best. 7 thinks he knew what he was about after all. Von der Ahe thinks so too. He believes with the Chicago mogul that there is no money in A it you have a monopoly in them. ut is why his team will be changed next season beyond all recognition. What League President would think he could dispense with both its banner pitcher and king catcher? Im- agine John B. Day selling Mickey Welch, Tim Keefe and Buck Ewing at a clip; or Harry Wright releasing Ferguson and Casey and Clements in a bunch. Yet that is exactly what der boss manager! has done. Doc Bushong, who is the Charley Ben- nett of the American Association, and Foutz, a great ball player besides being a crack pitcher, have gone to Brooklyn, while Caruthers, the Brown’s Clarkson, is to change his allegiance either to Brooklyn or Cincin- nati. But that is not all. Curt Welch, the Johnston ot the Association, is dropped from the St. Louis pay- roll, and will draw his Sal- ary from the Athletics next season. So will Gleason, the last member of the original Brown Stockings. Of the Association champions, five are gone and six are left. Six good players make a veryfair nucleus for a first-class base ball general to build a team around. Capt. Comiskey is just the man to doit. Pres- ident Von der Ahe has shown rare judgment in retaining the men he has kept. Here is an in. ventory of his left-over material: Comiskey, the Anson of the Association; Robinson, the best general player; Arlie Latham, who leads them all in base-running, the three being the old basemen and ail good batsmen; TipO’ Neil, for the outfield, champion batsman; Boyle, a backstop with iron hands, and King, a first- class pitcher. To these six will be added play- ers not well known in this section, with ex- ceptions of McGarr, who used to be with the Haverhilis a couple of years ago. There is a lesson in the Spalding—Von der Ahe policy for President Fred Stearns of the Detroit Club. There would be some sense in his putting a few of his stars in the other teams to make them draw in Detroit. . They migbt come somewhere near to supporting their own team, instead of depending upon the other League cities, as they can do under the percentage system. A city without enough base ball interest to run its own team is puffed up with pride because it has the finest ball nine in the world. Detroit gets the reputation, the glory and the satisfaction of victory; Boston helps foot Detroit’s bills, and gets nutbing. -— — — HIGH SALARIES, Evils That Will Prove the Ruin of the Na- tional Game. A New York paper, speaking of high-salaried ball-players, says: There has been an endless amount of talk about the professional base- ball players get - ting swelled heads“ and asking outrageous salaries for the trifling amount of work they perform, but in reality the players are not one-hundredth part as much to blame forthe stand they take as the men who givethem em- ployment. No person can blame a man for setting a large salary for his services, provid- ing hisemployers are willing to concede his demands. There is notthe slightest doubt, however, that the exorbitant salary system will eventu- ally prove the ruination of the national game. It fs not that the players are trying to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, but these fab- ulous figures as tothe value of their services are stufied into their heads by the base bail managers and proprietors, in their great anxi- ety to secure certain men whom t ey think will strengthen their team and make it more attractive as a drawing card, they offer tempt- ing prices. The players naturally take advan- tage of the situation and open up flirtations with a few other rival clubs, and by the time they are ready to place their signatures tothe contract, which enablesthem to travel over the country in a princely style and play ball only about two hours a day, they ask for bank presidents’ salary. The players are not to blame, but the capi- talists who go into competition for their serv- ices. This competition is the root of all evil, and each year it has been growing more des- perate, till at present it is q difficult matter to induce a player to sign a contract for less than from &., $5,000, with from 51, 000 to $1,500 in advance. : When the managers commenced giving va- ried salaries to their men—that is, signin them at the lowest possible figure they Soult agree upon—it was with the understanding that the amount of salary they received was to be kept secret to preserve harmony in the team. This, however, wasas impossible as trusting a woman with a secret and expecting her to keep it. Before the season was fairly begun each player knew what every other man was re- ceiving, and it was like strinuing so many cats over the clothesline and expecting ‘‘har- mony. The argument of a ball player is, ‘‘If such a man is worth so much I am worth as much and more, and so it has been year after year, aoe each year finds the players striking for er wages. A certain League 2 was heard to re- mark: It an Association pitcher can com- d $5,000 I will have to have $7,000, and will not sign unless I get it. * salaries for next season will be higher than ever before. There have been but few Artzt class men signed thus far, and all of them, so far as can be ascertained ace of their doing so with a view to getting larger salaries than ever before. Trainer Thomas’ Success. From the New York Times. Mr. Thomas’ success as a trainer last season was phenomienal. He had in Lelex, a horse completely broken down when he took him in hand, and one which Mr. Honig offered to sell for $600 early in the season. But Thomas suc- ceeded in building him up until he was one of the big winners of the year. He was equally successful with Wanoo, Grey Cloud, Bess, Leo H., Col. Owens, and others of the string, and so enabled Honig, who had been unsuccessful before, coin a good bit of money. Thomas had only a small stable then, however, and was pecsioularty shrewd in placing the horses in is charge in company where they could run and win. That knowledge alone is sufficient to make a trainer’s reputation, for only few of them, even when they have their horses per- fectly t, xnow how to use the animals to good udvantage. Whether Mr. Thomas will be equaily successful in placing Mr. Bald win's horses remains to be seen. The young- sters and 8-year-olds he will have to handle are stake horses, and as such cannot be so well placed as the purse and handli- cap fellows. So the trainer’s special shrewd- ness cannot display itself to so good advan- tage as if he bad a stable of “‘platers’’ to han- dle. Under the circumstances, then, much doubt is expressed as to Mr. Thomas’ ability to make so great a success with Mr. Baldwin’s horses as he did with Mr. Honig’s. His et- forts will be watched with much interest, par- ticularly by betting men, who have the great- est faith in his ability as a trainer, pure and simple. Union Pacific Railway.

The Delicate Touch of the Poet Preserved Amid Dramatic Surroundiogs—A Tri- umph of Idealism as Opposed to Realism —Thos. W. Keene ia Richard III.“ — The Tragedian’s Health and Spirite—Amuse- ment Notes. By Telegraph to the PosT-DIsPaTcH. New Tonk, December 7.—The production of such a purely poetic and romantic subject as Tennyson’s ‘‘Elaine’’ on the boards of the theater is not at all in the line of current theatrical work. The best or at least the most successful work of the theater at this minute is a deidealizing work. The manager strains every nerve in his body and every wire in his shop to rob the imagination of the spectator ot all labor. He insists on showing everything in hard material and in leaving nothing to be softly suggested. Elaine“ is sufficiently removed from the austere facts of the day to wear the mythic glamour. It has all the fragrance of a flower of pure romance, and unless come at by the theater with tender and dainty touch will break into the formal realism of the senses. We have more than once seen—to use Shakspeare’s thought—these lilies of the purely epical world festering in the glare of the Ime-light—worge than weeds. ‘‘The Tempest, with its elfin wreathing and phan- tom lights, has been resolved into a a papler- mache Ariel and a ring-magter Prosero, with the light that never was on land or sea routed by an electric stream poured on theturmoil of green baize and heightening the grease paint of a low comedy Caliban. MR. IRVING MAY BE SAID to have put his realistic heel on the spiritual significance of ‘‘Faust,’’ notwithstanding his intellectual efforts to make the devil walk on his toes. It is to the credit of Mr. A. M. Palmer that in fetching back this idyll of the king from its mid-region of romance to the visual foreground of the stage he has not robbed it of the soft intervening tints of time and fancy. It is closer to the sense but it is still on the horizon of the imagination, a beautiful mirage. The story has been preserved as a poetical story, not alone as a dramatic action, and the poet is represented in the text no less than the adapter and stage manager. In addition to this the most admirable good taste has been shown in the selection of persons to enact the parts and to sustain what is an im- portant-factor inthis charming bit of work— the pictorial beauty of the scenes. Miss Marie Burroughs realizesto the eye the artist’s conception of Queen Guinevere. Anything more daintily sweet and sedately ye could not be imagined and to this must added a dis- tinct capacity for apprehending and deliver- ing the lines of the poem. The Elaine of Miss Annie Russell answers fairly well in appearance and entirely in con- duct to the poet’s conception. Tennyson’s lines are full of prettiness if not valor, and it is seldom indeed that the stage succeeds 80 well in preserving the ethereal character of a dream as has been done here. The atmos- phere of chivalry encompasses the exhibition, we breathe the air of the joust, and thrill once more with the honorand bravery that come with the dawn of romance. Sig. Salvini, who redeems whatever he touches, by an enthu- siasm that is Southern, animates Launcelot with the old spirit of knighthood and gives to the scenes what enthusiasm alone can confer— a vigor of action and a sympathy of utterance that are magnetic. MR. PALMER HAS DONE WELL to revive this beautiful drama. It ig replete with genuine poetry and burns with tne true romantic spirit. Itisa marvel of color and form, and its scenes mingle accuracy and beauty in equal proportion. It is, in fact, one of those dramas that every conservative father should take his family to see, if only to convince himself how admirably the stage can realize far ahead of literature and poetry itself the true charm of romance when it comes sincerely and generously to the task. The full cast of!“ Elaine“ is as follows: King Arthur Mr. Charies Overton; Launce- lot, Mr. Alexander Salvini; Lord of Astolat, Mr. Frederic Robinson; Sir Torre, Mr. Louis Massen; Sir Lavaine, Mr. Walden Ramsay; Sir Gawain, Mr. E. Hol- land; dumb servitor, Mr. C. P. Fiockton; Hermit Friar, Mr. Wm. Davidge; Queen Gui- nevere, Miss Marie Burroughs; Elaine, Miss Annie Russell; Lianyd, a friend of Elaine, Miss Minnie Seligman (her first appearance on any stage); Roselle, a maid of honor, Miss Marie Greenwald. NyM CRINKLE. At the Theaters. Thos. W. Keene’s Richard LI. is one of his most effective roles. The tragedian draws the lines of the princely villain’s character boldly and strongly, developing his cruelty, craftand impetuous ambition to the utmost, with the result perhaps of bringing out the strong points somewhat to the neglect of the very fine points, and yet it is shaded on these deep lines. The impersonation is undoubtedly popular, and proved so last evening at the Olympic, the audience being aroused to en- thusiasm by Mr. Keene’s effort. The evidence of histwo performances goes to show that Mr. Keene held a firm place in popular estima- tion and this place was never better estab- lished than since bis return to the stage. His reeeption has been most cordial. His com- pany again proved to be even and excellent, with Joseph Wheelock as Richmond, Arthur Elliot as King Henry, Eugene Moore as Buck- ingham, Anna Boyle as Anne, Constance Ham- blinas Elizabeth, Kate Baker as Wales and the other parts well distributed. 2 Since Mr. Keene’s arrival bere he has scarce - ly been able move out of bis room without keeping his hand in a constant pump- handle motion. Allof his friends hastened to con- gratulate him on his robust appearance and apparently-vigorous physical condition. The tragedian never looked better and is in fine spirits. He is as full ot jokes and jollity as an egg of meat. ‘‘I never felt better in my lite, said he to a coterie of friends yesterday. The long rest I took was exactly what I needed, and Il return to work refreshed and with an edge on my energy. As far as the season goes I never had a betterone. I have been through the South, and my reception there was splen- did, the business being excellent everywhere.’’ Ariel Barney, who has added another ten pounds to his weight by addiction to solid diet and Barney cocktails, and who is now Mr. Keene’s manager, speaks in the same terms of the tour of the country. — — * For next week, tn addition to Richard Mans field at the Olympic in a repertoire of three plays. there will be Hermann at the Grand, attie Vickers in ‘‘Jacquine,’’ and the ‘*‘Cherub’’ at the People’s, ‘‘Lights o' Lon- don’’ at Pope’s and Reilly & Woods atthe Standard. The advance sale of seats for these attractions will begin to-morrow at the box- offices of the theaters. Amusement Notes. Farce and fun is Broving a good card at Pope's, where ‘‘Mixed Pickies’’ is running. One of the merits of Our Angel“ at the People’s is that the play increases in strength as it progresses. The specialties are attractive and Lizzie Evans is clever. The marksmanship and horsemanship of Sadie Hasson and the lively situations of Nobody's Claim“ are making it interesting for the Standard patrons. Patrice is not quite — to Teemer, but she rows aget-there stroke in ‘‘Lost in New Tork. The exciting incidents of the play and the river and steamboat keep the audience interested.
