Special Cablegram te the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, December 2.—The disgraceful rowdyism at Dover, yesterday, when Mr. Glad - stone received the address of the Liberal asso- ciation, is condemned by all decent org One man threw asnowball and hit Mr. - stone’s shoulder. Even the Times, although it denounces Mr. Gladstone every day, talks of the respect due to the leader of a great po- litical party, his venerable age, and long and distinguished public services. Mr. Glad- stone’s speech, besides being an effective criticism of the Government’s policy, made an appeal to the less violent partisans of the Tory party, as to whether, after all, a policy of justice ‘and conciliation to Ireland was not perfectly consistent with their remaining in agreement with the Tory party on every other qu on. But this appeal is not likely to produce much effect. The Tory party always hang together better than the Liberals, Not even solemn pledges against coercion at the last election by most of the Tory candidates prevented the present majority in Parliament from voting for coer- party. One Tory member only, Mr. Evelyn, member for Deptford, left the party in con- sequence, and resigned his seat. The Liberals entertain strong hopes of carrying Wilfred Blunt for the vacant seat. A great demon- stration is to be held to-night in favor of Blunt at Deptford, at which Stanfeld, a former colleague of Gladstone, will speak. Another bye election, that at Win- chester, owing to the death of the Tory mem- ber, Col. Tottenham, is not likely to result in the return of a Liberal. Irish members like Dillon are working with great energy, address- ing the electors, but Winchester is a sleepy old constituency, one of the smallest under the last scheme of redistribution. Lord North- brook, a former supporter of Gladstone, but now a bitter opponent, is powerfal in the neighborhood. THE READING STRIKE. No sympathy is expressed here with the Reading Railroad strikers. The Standard says the question was whether the Directors of the railway should be allowed to conduct their own affairs in their own fashion, or submit to the dictation of atrade organization only re- motely concerned in the matter at issue. This appears to be the general opinion. The great strike on the Midland Railway here, not long ago, failed for a similar reason—because of the arbitrary demands of the men respecting the cenduct of the affairs of the railway com- ‘ N he — THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM. Everybody is talking about the brilliant star visible in the East, popularly called the ‘‘Star of Bethlehem,’’ which some people believe appears once in three hundred years. Sir Robert Ball, Astron- omer Royal of Ireland, says he has been del uged with correspondence on the subject. This Star of Bethlehem’’ is nothing but our friend Venus, which appears as morning or evening star once in a year and seven months. It follows,therefore, that this star must some- times be seen in that capacity at Christmas, and this acts on the imagination of some people. England. GLADSTONE EMBARKS. LONDON, December 28.—Mr. Gladstone em- barked upon the channel steamer at Folke- stone, on his way to France, this morning. He was cheered by the crowd which had gathered to see him off. — — THE WAR SCARE. Austrian Workmen Leaving Germany to Join Their Regiments! Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. BERLIN, December 28.—All Austrians em- ployed in the manufactories of Munich and Augsburg have received orders to join their regiments without delay. Six hundred work- men set out Monday evening, four days being given them in which to rejoin their corps. Several officers of the Austrian Reserve, em- ployed in banking houses here, have received teieftaphic orders to set out at once to report at headqtarters. Two of the leading manu- facturers at Munich have each lost more than half their workmen who have been obliged to leave them to join their respective regi- ments. GERMANY TO HELP AUSTRIA. CONSTANTINOPLE, December 28.—Herr Von Radowitz,. the German ambDassador, has officially informed Kiamil Pacha, President of the Council of Ministers, that Germany will give Austria active military support if Russia should provoke a war with Austria. — ENTERTAINMENTS AT THE ELYSEE. M. Wilson Again in Danger—A Gang of Boodlers in Trouble. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch, Pakis December 28.—The Elysee Palace an- nounces two balls foy January, to be followed by numerous receptions, President Carnot is determined to make the Elysee entertain- ments far more select than they were under M. Grevy. UNHAPPY WILSON. It is thought here that M. Wilson will not have a very happy New Year. M. Vigneau,the magistrate who has the fresh casein hand, is a Very severe man, against whose stern sense of duty all external influence will break. He is a magistrate ofthe old French school, re- served, silent and determined. It is thought that atany minute M. Vigneau may exercise his authority and order the atrest of M. WI son. M. Vigneau can act now without the as- sistance or intervention of the police. ANOTHER GANG OF BOODLERS. The law courts are just now occupied with a gang of boodlers who got up an exhibition of the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the railway systemin France. It issaid that this gang got permission from the city to run their show by bribing one of the members of the Municipal Council. The whole thing was a swindle and the debts amount to over 900,000 frances.

Russia. , CHURCHILL’S VISIT. St. PETERSBURG, December 28.—The Moscow Gazette, commenting upon Lord Randolph Churehill’s visit to Russia, says: His visit will dispel his prejuaices. He will find no trace of aggressive plans against India. He will discover a readiness on the part of Rus- sia to solve all questions in accord with Eu- giand, a full guarantee being given for the security of India, provided England does not oppose Russia’s legitimate interests in Eu- rope. * Lord Randolph will start for Moscow on Sat- urday. He will return to St. Petersburg, where he will remain during January. Lord Randolph has visited no political personages during his stay here, with the exception of M. De Gere, the Prime Minister, and M. Polovt- zeff, Imperial Secretary of State. NO BUDGET DEFICIT. The Bourse Gazette says that there will be no deficit in the Russian Budget for 1888. France. PAPAL JUBILEE MASS OFFERINGS. Parts, December 28.—The Univers says that the offerings already received for the Papal jubilee mass amount to $200,000. The mass will be celebrated at a. m. in Romef, and 7:80 a. m. in Paris. The offertories are expected to be the largest ever received. The Dominion, MUTINY AMONG SOLDIERS. HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, December 28.—A state of semi-mutiny prevails among the soldiers of the York and Lancaster Regiments, quartered in the Wellington Barracks. Bad feeling bas beqn brewing among certain companies for some time. Two-thirds of the regiment and its officers prepared to celebrate Christmas in old English style. They handsomely decorated the barracks and issued invitations for a ball. During yesterday there was a great deal of drinking among the men, in fact most of them were drunk, when orders were issued that no more liquor should be supplied to the men of Company G. The men of that company had had enough to be very ugly, and frem that moment trouble was assured. At 6 o’ clock the festivities and all preparations for the ball were brought to a sudden stop by the discovery that the barracks had been set on fire. The fire was soon located in Company G’s apartment and was quickly extinguished. It was clearly the work of an incendiary. Three of the soldiers were in the place at the time. They were put under guard, but the whole battalion was called out into the exercising grounds, formed in companies, extra sentries and guards pat on duty, and orders given that no man should leave the barracks that night; that all festivi- tles were at an end, andthe ball was indefi- nitely postponed. The men were terribly en- raged at the severity of the orders issued by Col. Luck, and that commanding officer, clad in full uniform, was hooted and jeered at by the frenzied soldiers. A mob of them is reported to have surrounded and badly jostled him. The same barracks were burned twenty years ago. TEMPEST IN A TEA-POT. A Row Over the Recent Kansas City Ex- cdrsien to Mexico. By Telegraph to the PoOst-DIsPATcu. Kansas Crrr, Mo., December 28.—Last night the Commercial Club, composed of representa- tive business men of Kansas City, held a special meeting to consider the demand of Mr. L. E. Irwin, a prominent business man, for an investigation of charges claimed to have been made against him by Consul Maurice Rahden of Mexico. Irwin’s supposed grievance 5 out of an alleged interview with Consul Rahden, recently printed in the Evening News. Mr. Rahden asserts thatina rivate conversation with a reporter of the ‘ews regarding the recent tour of the Commercial Club representatives to Mex- ico, he reference to Mr. Irwin was rinted in a grossly exaggerated form. heu Irwin’s attention was called to the matter he at — demanded an investigation by the club with- out seeking a personal explanation of his sup- posed assailant. The meeting was heid with closed doors and adjourned without taking any action, and the impression is that the affair will be dropped. While in Mexico Rahden and Irwin had a disagreement relative tothe management of the excursion. This culminated ina genuine quarrel, subsequent to a banquet given them by Mexican ofiliciais. Ina letter written by Rahden to the Club » gong after deploring the action of rwin in bringing an entirely personal matter tothe notice of the organization, he says: ‘*‘Imay have and pernaps did say that he (Irwin) disgraced our party while at the ban- uet spoken of, but, atthe same time, I dis- tinctly stated wherein he had done so, and I understand that to say ofa gentleman that he disgraced himself at a banguet by eating with at he is disgraced to that extent only; that such conduct may be in and of itself a disgrace.’’ There seems no likelihood that the princi- pals in this affair will indulge in a personal encounter, although the Consul seems to be willing to settle the matter man to man. —_ 4 io 2. i P . ’ + * * 2 ~~ * — “ . 1 — > 5 1 . r * 2 . 2 ae 2 > ee. 8 a 7 4 5 + a a N * 1 5 3 i By Telegraph tothe Post-DisPaTcn. JEFFERSON Cirr, Mo., December 28.—Gov, Marmaduke’s condition shows no improve- ment from yesterday, in fact he is steadily growing weaker. Dr. Young arrived from Nevada on the early morning train and imme- diately oalled at the mansion. He was greatly surprised to find the Governor so weakened and prostrated. Dr. Griffin of Kansas City is expected this afternoon, having been sum- moned by telegraph. There is great interest felt here over the Governor’s serious con- dition. His private secretary, Mr. Yantis; Warden D. W. Marmaduke and W. W. Ram- sey of Nodaway County are at the mansion. The Governor complains mostly of severe pain in his left lung and throat. His conditionis exceedingly critical, and, unless there should be a favorable change in the next twenty-four hours, his physicians express but little hepe of recovery. Very Much Worse. Vincent Marmaduke, brother of the Gov. ernor, this morning received a telegram from his brother, Darwin, tothe effect that the Gov- ernor was very much worse, and he will go to Jefferson City to-night if no more favorable news is received. Leslie Marmaduke of Swees Springs, Mo., is at the Executive Mansion. EMPEROR WILLIAM NOT DEAD, A Canard Which Originated With the New York Stock Brokers. A rumor was circulated throughout the city about noon to the effect that Em- peror William of Germany had died during the morning. The report caused considerable excitement and grew and was magnified, as all rumors, causing widespread discussion. Soon it took the shape that the German Consul in this city had received a cablegram confirm- ing the news of the Kaiser’s death. A Po8sT-DISPATCH reporter, who called upon the German Consul at his office on Seventh and Chestnut streets, was informed that that official had never received any such telegram and knew absolutely nothin about it. A rumor that the officers of the Fourth Nationa! Bank had been cabled concerning the death proved also to be acanard. This afternoon the rumor was officiall denied by telegraph. Telegrams from New York announced that the canard had been started in the Stock Exchange of that city for its effect on the stock market, and that it had livened stocks for a short time. —Enqguiry made of the PostT-DISPATCH. Cable correspondents this afternoon, devel- —— the fact that the rumor had no founda - tion. LOCAL STOCK MARKET AFFECTED. The report of Emperor William’s death cre- ated considerable excitement on Change. As a matter of news it was of interest to every one, but it was the speculative markets that were 1 affected. Both wheat and corn wont bounding rapidly up- and ited and among pit broke idiy in New ard on nue showing that market was surrounded by quite a crowd interested in the staple. Later the markets quieted down and closed about steady. ra 0 A REIGN OF TERROR. The Coal Burners at Highbridge, Wis., Brutally Assaulted. ' ASHLAND, Wis., December 28,—There have been troublesome times at Highbridge, «a small station on the Wisconsin Central Road. For some weeks the employes of the Charcoal pits objected to the presence of the peace off - cers. A few days ago a policeman employed by the Town Board resigned. R. H. MePnale volunteered to goto Highbridge in his place. Monday night he was warned to leave the camp, but he remained. Yesterday a gang of the coal burners attacked him. He retreated and fired, tnatantly killing Peter Collins. McRhale was immediately set upon and kicked ina horrible manner and left for dead. A special train with Chief of Police and posse wentfrom here and returned last night with several prisoners. McPhale’s injuries will probably prove fatal. A WARRANT FOR WILL RUSSELL. Clem Creveling Prefers Charges Against Him This Morning. A warrant for grand larceny was this morn- ing issued against William J. Russell. He was arrested and furnished bondin the sum of $500 with W. R. Cottrellas surety. The mat- ter grows out of the trouble between Russell and his creditors.

- UNCLEAN ICE. NOW BEING CUT FROM PONDS IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE CITY. Hew a House Committee Pigeen-Holed a Bill and Left the Health Department Helpless—The Citizens of Carondelet Ob- ject to the Quality of Gas Furnished Making Ready for a Wedding—Diph- theria Decreasing—Municipal Matters. The Health Department has issued twenty- eight permits to various parties to cut ice at different points about the city. Some of these permits are for cutting ice from ponds which last summer were condemned as nuisances. One case in particular illustra tes the defects in the law governing the cutting of ice. Application was made fora permit to cutice from apond which was pumped out last summer by the department. Its contents then were so offensive. that the -resi-: dents in the vicinity reroon strated against any further disturbance of the pool. It was found necessary to run the stagnant water a distance of 200 feet. The smell from this was so offensive that the department had to disinfect the trench. The first application made to cut ice since the ad- vent of the cold spell was for this pond, which refilled in the fall Under the ordinance the applicant gives bond that the ice cut is to de used only for cooling purposes and not for con- sepa He a Early in the present session of the Municipal Assembly an ordinance was intro- duced giving the ard of Health power to regulate ice cutting, but this has lodged in the boxes of the Sanitary Committee of the House of Delegates and a store of unclean ice is now being coilected for use next summer. Ap- plications have. even been made for ermits to cut ice from small pools, used by umber-men inthe summer time to season timber. The authorities are without power to prohibit using this unclean ice and exhaust their resources when they make the applicant give bond that the store gathered from the ponds now willnotbe used for human con- sumption. Carondelet Gas. Mayor Francis is again considering the Ca- rondelet gas problem. The Citizens’ Com- mittee has decided to invoke whatever law there may be in their favor and to see that the contract with the p are carried out. Messrs. Hoffmeister and Hartnett, the sub-committee, appeared before the Mayor to-day. and informed him that the gas fur- nished Carondelet was of a very poor quality. Unfortunately there isno proof at hand that will be of any service in court against the company in an attempt to establish the alieged default in contracts. Daily official tests have not been made, as was provided for,and though the citizens of Caron- delet are very positive that they have been furnished oF an inferior quality of gas they cannot establish the fact so as to take advan- tage of the conditions of contract. Diphtheria Decreasing. The reports received from physicians by Health Commissioner Dudley show that there are fewer new cases of diphtheria so far this week than there have been reported in the corresponding length of time for several weeks. This is accounted for by the fact that the schools are closed and the chances of the disease spreading are con- sequentiy less. The fumigating corps is taking advantage of the cold spell to visit houses where the disease putin an appear- ance. They will visit as many houses as possi- ble during the Christmas vacation. The Funeral Baked, Etc. „Boss, we want dat house out on Thompson avenue smoked out,’’ said a colored man,pre- senting a note to Chief Sanitary Officer Fran- cis to-day. No more diphtheria out there?’’ No, no more. All the children dead?“ **Yes, sir.“ „Well, we'll bejout to fumigate the house to- morrow 2 se „Kin we take dem bills down to-day?’’ Why can’t you leave them up until we get there to-morrow?’’ ‘sWell, boss, we’re goin’ to have a weddin’ out there to-night, so we want to get de bills down, case it might make some of de guests oneasy to see em up. Sanitary Officer Francis agreed to fumigate the house to-dav. Municipal Notes. The windy weather has forced Weight In- spector Healy to temporarily give over the examination of street scales. The Joint Gas Investigating Committee met at Bp. m. to-day and decided to ask the St. Louis Gas-Light Company to present its books for inspection. AVALANCHES AND SNOW-SLIDES. A Man From Colorado Describes How Snow-Shoes Are Used Among Them. George W. Seaver of Aspen, Colo., who @r- rived in the city on his way to New York this morning, in conversation with a PostT-D1s- PATCH reporter, said: ‘*‘Just before I left home we had the first of our winter pests. I refer to snow-slides. In Colorado there are two distinct kinds of snow-slips— the snow slide and the The snowslide occurs when a dry fall of snow has covered the steep sides of the mountains and passes. The snow under these conditions literally slides until it strikes a lower and more level space. Such a disturbance is in- convenient, as it blocks wagon. and rail roads, but is seldom attended with disastrous con- sequences, as the snow isso light and soft that it divides on encounterin 1 obstacle, such as a house, withoutc gitaway. Its mo- tion, also, is 80 „ that a man in its track can easily find means of getting out of the or and even if he were caught could escape w thout injury. „The avalanche, on the other hand, Mr. Seaver went on to say, ‘‘is far more danger- ous. For the formation ofan avalanche snow more or less moist is necessary, and also a hard-frozen base upon which the snow rests. A heavy fall succeeding a cold snap is near! certain to occasion av these are most disastrous. slipping slowly and easily along in a soft, porous mass, the snow-balis,and rushes down the mountain side with irresistible force and at terrific speed.

After to-morrow’s business session is con- cluded, at 2:80 p. m., the Merchants’ Ex- change members will hold their regular an- nual caucus to nominate candidates for their coming election. This will be held a week from to-day and promises tobe one of more than usual interest. At the two previous elections there was no contest for the Presi- dency and forthat reason the members took little interest in them. There are two candidates this season, both prominent and . members, with a huge following, so hat an exciting and close contest is looked for. Strange to say, and for the first time in the history of the Exchange, both the contest- ants are in the same line of business—flour milling. Mr. Ohas. „ Orthwein is interested in the Victoria Milling Company and Mr. Louis Fuss in the Regina Milling Com} Besides his flour mill Mr. Orthwein is en; largely in the grain exporting line and a the reguiar commission business. Mr. Fusz is also known asa successful dealer in mining stocks, holding a good lump of that valuable 1 the Granite Mountain. There will probably be a sharp contest for the nomina- tion at the regular caucus by the friends of these two gentlemen, as that is looked upon as a virtual indorsement of the Exchange; yet, in many of the previous elections, the nom- inee atthe second and outside caucus was elected, until it finally that the irregular caucus was looked upon asa sure winner. This su- Se hag about died out now. 80 far, ut few names have been mentioned for the Vice-Presidencies and for the Board of Di- rectors. Chas. W. Isaacs, President of the Ad- vance Elevator Company, and Chas. S. Cox, the rovision man, have been the most prominent or the second positions on the tickets, but the withdrawal of Mr. Isaacs caused the members to turn their attention elsewhere. A. T. An- derson, the commission merchant and mining investor, President of the Golden Era and the Anderson Mining Companies, and Alex Easton of the Collier Company ana M. McKeen, the batter merchant, are the only probable can- didates heard of outside of Mr. Cox. Nor are there any overwhelming number of candidates forthe Directory as yet, though there un- doubtedly will be by the time the caucus is called to order. The friends of John C. Fears, Superintendent of the Central Elevator Com- pany, have been putting in some quiet, but none the less eftective work for him, and as he is personally popular and the elevator interest requires a representative on the board, bis chances are regarded as good. Another strong candidate is Chas. P. Burr, the head of the leading Southern order house in this market, and a gentleman who bas taken a decided and out-spoken stand on the membership question. This membership 2 promises to become a leading issue in he coming election, as a strong effort will be made tointroduce some plan to enhance the value of Exchange certificates. 80 far a scheme proposed by Mr. Burr and pub- lished in the PostT-DISPATCH has been re- ceived with most favor. This is to redeem all memberships offered the Exchange on the basis of thelr proportion of the surplus fund now on hand, less the annual dues, and the certificates then be retired. It is believed that a suf@eient number of memberships could be bought in to enhance the value of the bal- ance materially. Another Southern order candidate is H. W. Chandler, who is also Grand Regent for the Royal Arcanum in this State, and a leading secret society man. For the grain trade the names of D. Block and H. F. Langenberg, both the heads of trading commission houses, are heard of. The flour corner“ wants Conrad Fath, of Fath, Ewald & Co., and the provision trade would like to have a chance to support James Meagher. There is also talk of putting up D. I. Bushnell, the seed dealer, D. I. Blanke, the insurance agent, is expected to be a candidate, and there will be the usual number of wholesale representatives put up.

Mr. Richard Bartholdt Attends the Local The local option meeting at the Real Estate Exchange last night did not produce any ex- citement or bring out any new facts. Ben Deering, the speaker of the evening, was allowed to speak the full time, no opponent from the wets making his appearance. About seventy persons faced the blizzard and dropped in to spend a couple of hours pleas- antly in the warm room. Deering’s proposi- tion was that the saloon is an evil, and he brought forward the usual to peeve his position. Mr. Richard oldt, who, was to have debated for the wets was present incog and took capious notes for future refer- ence. He went out at the conclusion of the address before the Chairman, Minor Meri- wether, could invite him to speak. The ab- sence of opposition was the cause much congratulation on the partof Mr. ng. who felicitated his followers on the fact that nobody, noteven the League, which he be- lieved was largely compused of saloon-keep- ers, would dare put the gloves on and m him on the bloody sands.

As he has been doing considerable speaking at Poplar Bluff in the local option campaign, the defeat of the drys in that county (Butler) Monday was pressing very heavily on mind yester- day when a reporter ofthe PosT-DISPATCH met him and asked him for an explanation of the wets’ success. ‘‘The simple matter is that the country districts were not attended to,’’ he answered. We did our utmost to carry the city of Poplar Bluff and we triumphed by twenty-one majority, but the country went back on us. hy, 1 tell you it was an awful task to explain the law in some places. There are men therein the saw-mill districts that don’t know that Christ was crucified; no, sir, they don’t, that’s a fact. Mr. Holt runs all his campaigns on the ‘*nledge’’ plan, that is, getting everybody he can to pledge himself to vote the local option ticket. He takes issue with Ben Deering’s sweepin denunciation of sentiment, and songs, of praying and ribbon tying. instead of explanations of the law. r.

More Than $5,000,000 Worth of Canadian Forests Controlled by Americans. ‘*Since the forests of the peninsula of Mich- igan have been nearly destroyed,’’ said J. W. McKeon of Bay City, Mich., to a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter to-day, ‘‘there has been not only a drift southward of the lumbermen, but also a still more pronounced movement north- ward, The Canadian forests in the neighbor- hood of the great lakes have been almost untouched, and within the last two years thousands of acres of woodland have been leased by lumbermen on this side of the boundary. These leases are generally for one year with the privilege of re- newal from year to year forfour. This was done with the object of providing against any possi- ble trouble that might arise een the United States and Canada, and I believe that the existence of these contracts would have a eat influence in the _ direction of armony should any dispute arise. The contracts are of great benefit both to the Canadians and Americans, as the former have no market for lumber and no mills to saw it, while the latter have every- thing but the raw material. The Canadian lumber is not nearly as good as that of Michi- gan, as the trees are generally greried and stunted,have been most extensively destroyed by Wrest fires, and do not furnish within 40 per cent as much lumber to the tree as the American forests did in their day. But the supply is almost unlimited, labor is cheap, transportation easy during the winter, and the lakes afford a ready means of transit. Lumber to the value of at least $5,000,000 is now under lease by American parties, and their holdings will be largely increased during the coming year.

New Tonk, December 23.—Postmaster Pear- son reports that the pressure of work at the Post-office, resulting from the increase in the quantity of bulk of mail matter, which is one of the usual features of the holiday season, has been largely in excess of that experienced in former years, and this notwithstanding the decadence of the custom of sending Uhristmas cards by mall. The holl- day money-order business, both for- eign and domestic, has this year shown a marked increase over former years.

The Nashville Editor Dies of His Wounds Early This Morning. NASHVILLE, Tenn., December 28.—John J. Littleton, who was shot Saturday last by Joseph R. Banks, continued to sink all day yesterday and died at 2:80 this morning. Mr. Littleton would have been 29 years old had he lived to the first of January, and was born and reared in Roanoke County, this State, being 7 -eminently a self-made man. When emerg- ne from his teens he borrowed a few standard volumes from Sedge James Sevier of Kingston, and these he studied at night, teach- ing a public school during the day. At the age of 21 he began to practice law at Kingston, but soon left the bar for journalism, his first venture being the founding of the Cyclone, a Demo- cratic weekly at Kingston. In 1882 he moved to Chattanooga and started the Daily Demo- crat. There he remained until 188, when he came to Nashville and started the National Re- view, asthe Republican organ of the State. In politics he remained a Democrat until 1884. He left the Democratic State Convention two years later, when the ‘‘fifty and 0 plank’’ on the State debt was adopted, and announced that he was no longer a Democrat, Since that time he has been an extreme Re- ublican. He was elected to the islature rom Davidson County last fall. At the time of his death he was cretary and Treasurer ofthe Republican State Executive Committee and Vice-President from Tennessee of the Na- tional Republican Olub. He was the leader of the Blaine forces in Tennessee until the late New York election, after which he espoused Sherman as the most available nominee of nis arty for President in 1888. Beside a wife, he eaves two children, both boys, the youngest only four months old. THE MILITIA APPROPRIATION. Missouri Will Lose It Uniess the Militia Force Is Increased to 1,600, David Roach, Chief Clerk in the Adjutant General’s office, Jefferson City, is in togn. Speaking of the condition of the militia of the State this morning, Mr. Roach said: The militia needs assistance badly. The new mili- tia law requires that there shall be 100 enrolled men for every Member of Congress from the State. There are fourteen members of the House and two members of the Senate from Missouri. If, therefore, we do not have 1,600 men the time the next annual report is made, we will not be entitied to our share of the militia — ey riation. At present we are tl ut $14,800. We have in the serv- t 1,000 men. We must make that number1,600 by June or we will lose the appropriation. Prize Fighting in Illinois. By Telegraph to the Post-Disratca.

Sid Francis and Charles Thompson, who preceded the cortege entered the doorway. They were followed by Misses Nina Matthews and Annie Daugha- day, dressed in quaint old-fashioned gowns in the Marguerite colors, white and yellow, the dresses made of fine French mull, very sheer, over white silk slips, the skirts made short and scantin front, and very full behind, with round low bib waists, finished with lace, drawn close by narrow yéliow ribbonsrun in the edge. There were no sleeves, only high shoulder poufe, and the short waists were out- lined by broad yellow sashes of yellow India silk, tied high under the arms; the skirts were finished with three narrow little ruffles. With these quaint dresses, long silk mits were worn, and large poke bonnets of shirred White mull, trimmed with white tips. In their hands they carried large bunches of Marguerites. These two young ladies were followed by the other two ushers, Messrs. Clarence Parker and Will Rowland, the brother of the bride. Then came two other bridemaids, Misses Sadie Branck and Scudder. These young ladies were dressed exactly like those preceding them— in old-fashioned gowns of mull, with yel- low sashes and large poke bonnets, and on their feet white satin slippers, trimmed with large satin rosettes reaching high up on the instep, and ornamented with large silver buckles, After the bridemaids came the maid of honor, Miss Mattie Thompson, cousin of the bride, dressed precisely like the others supported by the groom’s best man, Mr. Oliff Eustis of New Orleans.

The tadlier was also covered with full breadths of tulle, shirred in a deep point, curving back over the hips, following the outline of the waist, which was of falle, cut in deep points over the shoulders, and finished with folds of the tulle shirred and drawn to the point of the bodice in front. The sleeves were long made of the fraile, and fin- ished with ” puff of the tulle, and met by long gloves. Over all fell the filmy vell of tulle to the bottom of the dress and confined to her brown hair by pearl pins. She wore no ornaments save her mother's wedding 88 of the hyacinth stone, and in her and she carried a large bunch of fragrant hyacinths. The gentiemen were all in full dress and wore Marguerites in their button- holes. The ceremony was - by the Rev.

Adams was a little stronger at $2 95 bid. 2 The San Miguel Journal, published at Tellu- ride, Colo., says that the paragraph from the Silverton San Juan ooncerning the Golden Chicken, recently reprinte in this paper. is absolutely false. The Journal gives the Golden Chicken people credit for paying their debts regularly and for not endeavoring to boom the stock. The mine, according to the Journal, makes a fine showing. ” The Metal Exchange of New York will, on January 1, begin a daily call of copper stocks. Alreadythere are twenty-one stocks listed. Heretofore these stocks have been called on the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum Exchange. The reason forthe change is said to be the charging of a heavy listing fee by the older Exchange. Speaking of the matter the Financial and Mining Record of New York says: St. Louis is rapidly absorbing the min- ing stock business, because our large listin fee has prevented the early listing of the stoc in meritorious young companies. The divi- dends now being paid in St. Louis by mining companies are reported to exceed those of all their banks, insurance companies and railway companies combined.’’ DAVIS & CO. VICTIMIZED. A Trio From Independence, Kan., and the » Nice Story They Brought Aleng. The wholesale dry goods firm of Samuel 0. Davis & Co. appears to have been taken in by atrioofsharpers from Independence, Kan. On October ll, A. Howard, A. Beagles and Oharles Barnes, residing at Independence, Kan., called at Davis’ establishment and in- troduced themselves as business men from Independence. They stated that they owned a profitable business there and were in go@d standing.

Statements to the Effect That Decreased Trade for 1888 is Expected by Whole- salers Pronounced False—Forces of Traveling Salesmen Being Increased for the Coming Year and All the Old Drum - mers Being Retained—What C. C. Rain- water, E. C. Simmons and Other Mer- chants Say—A Burst Sensation. The Globe-Democrat to-day aroused the an- ger and resentment of wholesale dealers in St. Louis, and drummers, by the publication of sn article to the effect that a great reduction in the number of traveling men was contem- plated by large houses, Though it was ad- mitted the trade of 1887 had far exceeded that of any previous year, it was stated that the force of drummers for 1888 would be much smaller than heretofore in anticipation of decreased business, Accord- ing to this article wholesale houses were chary of engaging even old men, and limited many engagements made to thirty days. ‘‘The statements are so absurd,’’ said a traveling man, ‘‘thatI cannot but conclude they were written by a reporter like many of the new cheap drummers referred to in the article, I do not know of any man, good, bad or indifferent, that has not an engagement for 1868. Onthe con- trary, scores of business firms are 0 crowded with business that they are either extending their present quarters or have secured new locations where they will have more space to accommodate their increased trade. Then again is it reasonable if, as the paper admits, the business of last year was the largest the city ever had, that merchants will sit down and let men go who caused this in- crease? Would any one but a fool think a merchant could decrease his force of 1887 for 1888 and expect to do as much business? Isn't it natural for men to try to increase their business over preceding years? The facts are that the houses are allincreasing their force of drum- mers for 1888, and intend going in new terri- tory never attempted by St. Louis before. personally know of a number of new men who Will represent St. Louis that come from houses in four ot the largest Western cities, besides three from New York and o from Boston.’’ A tour of the wholesale hoises failed to find one which had concluded to reduce its force. All were agreed that there was no basis whatever for the ar- ticle in the Giobe- Democrat. Said O. O. RAINWATER: Wo employed twenty-five salesmen in 1887 and shall employ more next year. Our busi- ness never vy so good and weseeno reason why it hould not be better next year. There is nothing ap- parent in the condition of the country to justify a contrary prediction. All are agreed on this, I think, and no firms ever care to make changes in their force of traveling salesmen when changes can be avoided,.’’ * not traveling salesmen indispensa- * „When mon have been in the employ of one house for some time they are nearly so. They become accustomed to the line of goods the house carries, acquainted with cus- tomers, and can do business to better advantage than new men. Ali the houses I have heard anything about are increasing their forces for next year, preparatory to en- tering new territory and incretsing their work in old territory. As business is now done it is necessary to send out salesmen, and the better they are the more the house profits from their work.’’ E. O. SIMMONS said: There is not, so far as I know, any truth in the article. We shall not decrease our force of traveling salesmen for 1888, but shall slightly increase it.’’ Have you heard of any houses which will decrease their force of drummers?’’ Not one. Those about which I have heard anything will have more men out next year than before.’’ ‘*Your increase is for extension of trade?’’ No, there is no new territory for us. We o west to the Pacific and east to Indiana and hio. We cannot go farther east, as on ac- count of freight rates we cannot compete with New York @nd other eastern houses beyond Ohio. We shall hold the territory we have acquired,’’ Uther merchants seen expressed similar opinions, all pronouncing the statements of the Globe - Democrat wholly untrue. A COWARDLY ASSAULT. Three Rufflans Nearly Decapitate a Texas Deputy Sheriff. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. | GAINESVILLE, Tex., December %.—John Alexander was arrested at Whitesboro yester day evening, brought here and lodged in the county jailonacharge of assault to murder at a country dance near Bloomfield, in this county, Monday night, where Deputy Sheriff George Saunders went in search of an overcoat which had deen stolen from Dr. John Riley of that vicinity. He was attacked by three tuffians two of them holding his arms, which render him pewerless, while the third vigorously unded him on the back with an iron wedge. exander, who was assistingin holding the arms, used his pocket-knife on the back of the neck of Saunders, cutting it to the atlas bone and from ear to ear, almost severing the head from the body. The parties then made their escape, twoof whom are still at large with the officers in pursuit. Alexander was arrested on a train ou the Missouri Pacific, at Whitesboro, having a ticket for Jefferson City, Mo. The assaulted — Sheriff was not dead at midnight last night, but was rapidly sinking.

Mr. Gronda may not be as popular as he was afew months ago, but he knows a great deal more about prao- tical politicos, and in the particular matter of political side-shows he has become an expert. 3 Tun New York Press thinks that the President should withdraw the name of LAMAR and ask the Judges of the Supreme | Court to selecta man forthe vacancy on the Supreme Bench. As this suggestion seems to have come from the mule and pork reporter it is feared that the interior workings of the sprightly little Press are not as well ordered as they doubtless will be in the course of time. Tue work of revenue reform and re- AKrenchment is to begin in New England, where some scores of Custom-house ployes’are to be discharged. This which will compel these citizens to work should be more widely introduced. The country would be the gainer if our absurd tariff schedule were corrected according to common sense on a systematio plan. Then we should be taxed less in all we consume, we should pay less for running the Government and hundreds of able- bodied, intelligent and competent citi- zens who now draw salaries for obstruct- ing commerce would be converted into useful and profitable members of so- ciety. ESE GMA THE SUIT AGAINST GOULD AND SAGE. A Posr-Disr Aron special some days ago asserted that President CLEVELAND would institute proceedings in behalf of the United States, as a creditor of the Union Pacific, to recover from GouLp and his partners the $10,000,000 they had made out of that road when they were directors by unloading on it at par the Kansas Pacific stock which they had bought fora song. They first used their power as managing directors of the U. P. to bankrupt the K. P. by refusing, contrary to the express provisions of the Pacific Railroad char- ters, to pro-rate with the K. P., and then, having bought the K. P. stock for them- selves at a merely mgminal price, they bought it for the Union Pacific from themselves at par. If Mr. CLEVELAND will read the recent Ohio decision in the Hocking Valley Rail- road injunction suit, it wil] confirm him in the intention imputed to him. A syn- dicate bought nearly all the stock of three railroad companies, consolidated the companies in a new one, which issued new stock in exchange for the old, and then, as directors of the new company, they mortgaged its property for $8,000,000, the mortgage stating that the money was procured for usein laying a double track and making other improvements. But instead of laying a double track they used the proceeds of the mortgage in buy- ing for the company from themselves the stock of a coal mining company, of which they were the principal owners, at about ten times its actual value. And now the Ohio decision is that the directors could not lawfully buy stock from themselves and pay for it with the railroad company’s funds; thatthe transaction was null and void because it was a fraud upon the company’s creditors, and that the cor- poration can, as quasi trustees for its creditors, follow its funds and claim an equity in whatever they were invested in, Newspaper reports of the evidence ob- tained by the Pacific Railroad Commission in regard to the K.P. transaction put GOULD and SaGE in precisely the same predicament as those Hocking Valley Railroad directors. ‘After the decision in the case of the latter, it would seem that there should be no further delay in taking steps to make GOULD and Saaz pay to the Union Pacific the difference between the price they paid and the price at which they unloaded on it their Kansas Pacific purchase. t ww 1 * — a 3 THE feeling that war, however much dreaded and deprecated, is still inevita- ble, seems tobe generally prevalent in Europe. The cost of maintaining peace there on a perpetual war footing is so great that peace is less precious and war makes comparatively much less difference there than with us. But the waste and havoc of such a war as Europe is now menaced withal would be frightful, to say nothing of the incaloulable detriment to business and production. The already intolerable burden of national debts would be vastly aug- mented and no resulting terri- torial readjustment can produce anything better than another armed truce, almost as costly as war and exposed to the strain of additional burdens andrevenges. This constant increase of military establish- ments and debt burdens seems destined to go on until the conditions of life be- come such that the masses can bear them no longer, the load crushing the whole social fabric of Europe and revolution wiping out all old scores, old debts and old systems. * 8 — Onze American, having killed another in a drunken brawl in London, has begn convicted of murder in an English court, the Judge instructing the jury that intoxication, being a crime in itself, aggravated instead of palliating the pris- oner’s guilt. Whereupon the London Ob- server denounces that old legal doctrine as contrary tocommon sense. That may be, as liquor certainly does sometimes maké men crazy, and the law mercifully @olds crazy men irresponsible for their acts. Nevertheless, the English Judge in- structed the jury, and the jury found ac- cording to law. It isonlyin their own country that Americans can get drunk and kill one another with impunity, trust- ing safely to a sympathetic jury’s reason- able doubt ot an intoxicated man’s sanity. * Pacific Railroad boodlers and very bitter in denouncing everybody who has partici- pated in the work of exposing their crookedness.

If there be a strike the mille are the first to get into the trouble, Before one set of employes is well tauscht in the work another is imported at Castle Garden to take the vacant places. If a mill close in December it leaves in poverty workmen who wereallured to its furnaces in July. That is the way the steel-rail mill has always protected labor and won its votes. If the mili desire to mend its cupolas, or rebuild its cranes, or rearrange its stacks, it shuts down with an economical flourish of some kind, and always has done so, and always will till the people shall quit paying it a bonus | out of their own pockets. The mill-owner and his wife and daughter and son have some economical peculiarities which will not cemport with their crippled financial condition, The state, in order to secure the benefit of their society and their smoke-stacks pays them a bounty of $17 on every ton of stuff they turn out.

From the Chicago Tribune. The effect of food upon our Irish population has hardly been studied with the considera- tion it deserves by the political economists. Take. the city of Boston, for instance, Ita staple food is pork and beans and codfish, Prior to arrival at the Hub its Irish citizens had fed mainly on potatogs, but that diet did not succeed in developing their fighting pro- pensities beyond the point of their natural belligerence. A very short stayin Boston, however, and free indulgence in its invigor- ating bean and codfish diet produce colossal gladiators, who return tg England and knock over everything that gets in their way. Fo- tatees may be useful in sustaining the nat- ural warlike disposition, but it is evidently beans that produce brgéwn and muscle end enable them to give a suebessful practical turn’ to their bent ot nature. 9 METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. NEw Tonk, December 28.—The WORLD says: the Democratic party is committed to any- hing it is to stopping the surplus by reducing the war tariff.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says; ‘‘Other things bein ual, labor organizations are wholesome and effect- = in the proportion that they are respon- sible.’’ THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: ‘‘It is the height of folly to give a Democratic Administration credit for averting disasters which the Republican party alone prevented by ite increased strength in the House and its undisturbed possession of the Senate. The appeal made to the business community in 184 can be repeated next year with cumulative force. Mr, Cleveland as a can- didate did not dare to say ten words about the tariff and dy Swern mocrats asserted in every doubtful State thathe was not a free- trader. He is now known to be hostile to the tariff and has recommended drastic legisiation inthe interest of English manu- facturers. If the House to be elected next year be strongly Democratic, free trade meas- ures will certainly be passed and the Senate, which is now evenly divided between the par- ties, eannot be depended upon in future to avert the disastrous consequences of such leg- islation. The facts ofthe situation will have to be looked inthe face next year. If the business classes listen tothe false c that ‘Republican talk about ruin under a Demo- cratic Administration was only harmless cam- paign thunder,’ they will be,deceived by a cuckoo song.

LAND GRABBERS. | \SCHEME OF WISCONSIN RAILROADS TO SE- CURE LANDS NOT GRANTED THEM. A Strong Memorial Eeceived by the Prasi- dent—Carlisie and Randall Come to an Understanding Regarding Tariff Legis- lation—A Hotel Man Knocked Out— The Land Commissionership. By Telegraph to the Posr-Digrarcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., December %.-—The President, Attorney-General and Secretary of the Interior have received a memorial from the Board of Supervisors of St. Croix County, Wis., calling attention to the scheme of the Wisconsin railroads to gather in lands not granted them. Among other things the docu- ment says: ‘‘We respectfully represent with regard to the recent opinion or decision of the Attorney-General, giving eonstruction to sec- tion 5 of the act of Congress entitied, ‘An act to provide for the adjustment of land grants made by Congress to aid in the construction of railroads,’ approved March 8, 1887, in which decision the Attorney-General in effect declares that the words in said section limiting its operation to „Lands being the numbered sections described in the grants,’ apply to and include not only such lands within the indemnity belt as were never promised to be given by Congress, and also to lands lying within the granted limits of the said Wisconsin railways. We respectfully show that such decision will, if carried out and enforced, permit afew parties who have acted in collusion with the said railways to secure the title (on payment of $1.25 an acre) to large areas of lands, which lands they well know were never promised by Congress to be given to said railways, and as to which lands, section 7 of said act of Congress, approved March 3, 1887, would seem toforbid that they should be given to said railways or to any corporation or individual claiming under them, but only to the class of claimants de- scribed in sections 8 and 4 of said act. We further represent that said construction, so given by the Attorney-General to section 5, will not in any way add to the protection of cultivators of the land or of any settlers who may have purchased lands which were not promised by Congress to said Wisconsin rail- ways, because such settiers and cultivators are protected by other provisions of law.’’ Senators Spooner and Sawyer have been en- listed in the opposition to the scheme of the railroad corporations, and a strong effort will be made to prevent the Wisconsin roads from seizing the lands. . TARIFF LEGISLATION, The developments of the past few days go far to confirm the statement made in the PoaT- DISPATCH some time ago to the effect that Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Randall have so far come to an understanding onthe subject of tariff re- duction as to make comparatively certain the passage of a bill which, if it does not follow accurately the lise marked out by the Presi- dent, will in the main effect the reforms which he recommends, A number of prominent Democratic Con smen have been devoting considerable time to the discussion of the tariff subject since the recess began. Mr. Carlisle, whose time is not wholly occupied with putting the finishing touches to his committees, has been in confer- ence with a number of his colleagues with what is generally regarded as the most en- couraging results. n every side, however, one hears talk of compromise. Mr. Carlisle is an enthusiastic champion of tariff reduction, but heis above all things a man of sound sense and understands fully that half a loaf is pation * ne Bei He does Bot believe, owever, that it w o necessary to agree on half measures in this matter, but is prepared to make substantial concessions in order to secure the passage of a bill which will effecta reduction in the revenue. One hears little talk ofany disposition of the surplus already in the Treasury. If means are taken to prevent any material additions to the sum already in the vaults, itis not believed that any harm il result to the country at large. The belief wera: | ground that the appropriations aughori by the present Congress will be o generous than those of previous years. m ® MThére is a fair chance, too, that several inde - pendent measures appropriating large sums may yee at this session. tional bill is the most promising of these measures and is looked upon as tolerably sure of going througn.

By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw „December 2%.—One night re- cently, when he was enjoying a short vacation, George Thatcher, the funny man of Thatcher, Primrose & West’s Minstrels, went to Dock- stader’s Minstrels with his wife and child and sat in the private box nearest the footlights on the right hand of the stage. The boxes at Dockstader’s pretty little theater are built so that the occupants are in full view of the audience, and the entire audience on this par- ticular evening saw Thatcher’s head fall for- ward and rest on his shirt front as if the minstrel had gone to sleep. it was just at this moment that Lew Dockstader himself stepped upon the stage and cracked alot of jokes. The audi- ence laughed and applauded, but Thatcher re- mained motioniess with hig head upon his chest. It was a most unusual scene for any one to sleep during Dockstader’s perform- ances. A few minutes later an usher stepped to the box and whispered to Mrs. Thatcher. She leaned over and shook her husband. „Wake up, George, she said. Mr. Dock- stader says that you must not go to sleep in the theater. MR. THATCHER STRAIGHTENED UP and denied that he was asleep. Afterward he went areund behind the scenes and had a stormy interview with Lew Dockstader and Mr. Kidder, Dockstader’s manager. The story of the incident got out last night and a good many * thought It was a practical joke on Thatcher's part, but it was not. Mr. Thatcher „ the Park Theater in Brooklyn last night. I had a right to go to sleep in the box f 1 wanted to, he said. I paid 310 tor it. But I did not go to sleep all the same. The songs were all good, but when Dockstad- er came on and worked off 8 that I heard away back in Sanford’s time f just shut my eyes and thought it was a trifle dreary. Then an usher came along and told my wife that Dockstader would notletmego to sleep. went around and told Dockstader that in place of my insulting him by going to sleep he had ines ted me and demanded an explanation but got none.’ Lew Dockstader was reticent when à re- porter saw him lastnight: ‘‘A cannonade of artillery would not have kept Mr. Thatcher uwake that night, he said,‘‘ but for the sake of the profession, and out of rex for a brother minstrel, I prefer not to state why I sent an usher to Mr. Thatcher, and I shall not tell the facts unless it becomes necessary,’’ It was reported at Dockstader’s last mizht thata few evenings ago Mr. Thatcher tried to buy a ticket, but the man in the box-office re- fuged to sell him one, The impression was that Thatcher had blood in his eye and was go- tog to smash something or other if he got the chance. Manager McCaull’s Mishap. Cn1caGco, III., December 28.—Col. John Mo- Caull, the opera manager, while walking down Madison street last night, slipped and fell, breaking one of the small bones of the right ankle. The surgeon who set the frac- tured limb said it would require most careful nursing, and would probably lay the patient up for several weeks.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., December 28.— For several days reports have reached here from the White River country that the Utes are off their reservation east of the Utah line, and that they are buying ali the rifles and other firearms that they can obtain. It is feared that an outbreak will soon occur. They have been informed that they are not on their reservation and that they are breaking their pledges by last summer in again coming into Gar- eld County. To this they say that they in- tend to hunt where they can find game in plenty, and that the white man cannot hinder them. Anumber of cattlemen have ordered their men to shoot any and all Indians they may see on their ranges or anywhere east of the Utah line.

The eldest, who held something tightly fully around a couple of wagon wheels which seemed ex- actly what they wanted. Several consulta- tions were held; then the oldest ste up to Mr, Crunden and 9 to the wheels said: ‘Say, mister, What's the price of them Wheels?“ Mr. Cranden looked at the group ered the price 25 cents when he rep! enty-five cents.’’ Three expectant faces — instantly with disappointment and regret. ‘‘Oan’t you sell ‘em any cheaper, sir“ asked the biggest boy anzionualy. 'm sorry, my little man, but the regular price is $1, and 1 offered them to you for what they cost me. I can't sell them any e se g and low- 0. Twenty minutes or half an hour had passed and the incident had slipped from Mr. Orun- den’s mind when he saw the three boys come filing in. It was evidensatthe firat glance that something unusual had happened. The oldest was anxious and excited, but smiling, the nextin size looked happy and the little fellow had a grin on hie face that stretched hie mouth from ear toear. The big boy went hurriedly and breathlessly to Mr. Crunden and in an impressive undertone said, Mister, can I see you privately for a minute?’’ **Certainly’’ said the gentleman, who was surprised and puzzled to know what proposi- tion the boys intended to make to him. The boy led him aside to a retired corner, the others following ata respectful distance, but watehing the proceeding closely. When sufficient privacy had been secured the boy heid up his hand, which tightly clenched, and opening it exposed what appeared to be a wad of paper. Is that good?’’ he asked jn a trembie o anxiety. ‘ Is what good?“ asked Mr. Orunden look- ing at the wad, ‘*Why that—that—take it and look at it,“ said the boy pushing his hand towards him. Mr. Crunden picked up the wad and straight- ening it out in his hands saw a crisp new 8 bill. He examined it closely while the boy scanned his face almost in terror and the other boys held their breath. ‘‘Certainly, that’s good,“ he said finally, The smile that crept over the boy’s face and was communicated to his compenions until the little fellow looked as if his mouth would split, would have turned a funeral into a dancing party as he said triumphantly, ‘‘Well, I’li take them wheels. MWnere did you getit?’’ asked Mr. Crunden, rather d ubtfully. : Well, you see, was the reply, we went out o' here aud was goin’ home thinkin’ we couldn’t get them wheels, and was jus’ walkin’ by Barr’s when I saw somethin’ lyin’ on the pavement right in front of us and it was that, We thought mMmebpe it might be Mr. Barr ad lost it and it was his and we was goin’ in there to ask him if he had lost it, when a man that was standin’ on the pavement saw us and told us he knew Mr. Barr didn’t loge it and we might as well keep it, jes cos he didn’t believe we could find the person that had.’’ „No, I guess you couldn't find the owner now, said Mr. Crunden. All right, we'll take the wheels.’’ The lit- tle fellow went over to the wheels and picked one up, his next larger brother took the other one and the oldest boy took the 4. 28 in change and three of the happiest boys in St. Louls marched gaily out with what was more wealth to them than a bonanza mine would be toa man.

AN INTERNATIONAL WAR. — Serious Pitched Battle Between Rassian and Hungarian Miners at Hibernia. New Tonk, December 28,—There was peace in Hibernia until three months ago. Then the Russians came and brought war, Hibernia is a mining town of about 1, 100 souls atthe foot of three hills in Morris County, New Jersey. It is a desolate region, and except rocks and |. scrub oak trees, it has nothing to boast of but magnetic iron ore. Seven hundred men are employed in the mines of the town. Nearly one-third of them are Hungarians and Russians. Until September these two classes of tollers worked side by side in harmony. Their wages were put up to $1.50 per day and some Russian miners who had lost their jobs in Pennsylvania, came to Hibernia aud bevan to make trouble. The Hungarians were forced to lodge by themselves. The Rus- sians also went into huts by themselves. This international difficulty broke out into a battle on Monday afternoon. Everybody was cele- brating Christmas. There were six Hunga- rians in one party at John C. Hasslin’s saloon atthe northern end of the village, and three times during the morning they had been as- sauited by a squad of twenty Russians. Both armies were drunk. Women hardly dared to go out on the public road. At3:30 p. m. the Russians Moved in force upon the Hungarians in Haaslin’s saloon, ey bad stones in their pockets and flour- ished clubs, shovels, bottles and knives. Con- stable Amzi Waer saw them march up to Hass- lin’s front door. He ran tothe kitchen en- trance and warned the proprietor. Hasstin is old and a and he called to his son for belp. The ussians had battered in the front door, and, though the first intruders were frightened out, the gang behind them forced the door again. Then there was a rally by the Hungarians,and the whole crowd was soon out on the roadway. The Russians used their knives and stones and shovels and clubs for all the were worth, The Hungarians were not awed, but they seized some of the weapons of their antagonists and foughtthem down the road, foot by foot. Both sides yelled for reinforce- ments. No Russians responded, but some Hungarians came from the upper Hibernia Hilland then slowly the Hungarians drove their enemies down the village road. After being driven slowly back tor a quarter of a mile, the Russians scattered and ran. . The face of every man in the battle was bat- tered and bloody. One of the Hun ans, John Magyour, was found stabbed in the back under the shoulder blade. Another Hun- garian, — Parcely, had his left arm cut open from the shoulder to the elbow. Maik Kiajnak, a Russian, was reported as having a fractured skull. Andrew Magyour received, it is thought, his death wounds.

Prospect That the Rwer Will Be Ice-Bridged by Te-eMorrow Night, To-day atnoon the local stage of water in the Mississippi recorded exactly eight inches above the lowest water ever known in the history of the Signal Service. The ice is moving sluggishly to-day, and clogged once or twice during the night at Bushburg. The indications are that the river will be ice-bridged by to-night, even should the weather get no colder, unless it should first gorge some- where close by northof here, and then the i. ana are that it will not close here so early. SCROFULA Is that impurity of the blood which produces unsightly lumps or swellings in the neck; which causes running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which develops ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can- cerous growths, ce humors; which, fasten- ing upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. It... the most ancient of all diseases, and very few persons are entirely free from it. “ree CURED it Be By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease, If you suffer from scrofula, try Hood Sarsaparilla. “Every spring my wife and children have been troubled with scrofula, my little boy, three years old, being a terrible sufferer. Last spring he was one mass of sores from head to feet. We all took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and all have been cured of the scrofula. My little boy is entirely free from sores, and all four of my children look bright and healthy.“ W. B. ATHERTON, Passaic City, N. J. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggists. $1; six for g.

The problem of the cloth - ing maker at this time of year is to produce warmth and values. We count nothing equal to all wool for that. All wool, in turn, whets the maker of clothing to add to it good work. We use both. There is no overabund- ance of such goods. The profits are not large. There’s more immediate profit to be made out of a store full of showy clothin than a store full of all-w stylish clothing. Yet it pays us to sell only reliable goods. They wear well. You’re coming back to the store where you got the clothing that wore well, We’re going to get your trade year after year by making clothing that wears long. We're trying for that kind of trade.

Realizing by Longs Causes the Market to Decline From a Strong Opening. By Telegraph from Jones, McCormick & Kennett Chicago, to the Post-DISPATCH. CHICAGO, December 28, 1 Dp. m.—The bull feeling in wheat that prevailed at the close of yesterday was in the air early to-day, and at the opening the market was strong and a shade higher, Bcattered buy- ing orders were soon filled, and as the amountof wheat for sale was very large, the price gradually gave way ressure. But for the support futchinson the market woul have responded much more readily to the large Offerings.

Most sales were to local butchers and retailers and the cempetition was so sharp at times that salesmen found no trouble in getting their own prices, and in some instances a shade higher figures than would have been possible had the day’s receipts been more adequate to the de- mand. Besides the local demand there was a very fair inquiry from Eastern shippers, who expressed some Httle disappointment at the meagre receipts which prevented them taking hold. Asa whole, the general market was considered more satisfactory in the way of values than for some little time, and the prospect of light runs until after the New Year, it is thought, will y aay values up during this time and especially for fat, tidy, butcher’s steers.

By Telegraph to the Post-D1sPaTcu. BaTH, Me., December 28.—On the day of the Firemen’s Muster several clergymen visited a certain Bath hotel. They saw a perfect stream of men pouring in at the front door, across the corridor and through a door to the right. They watched the movements of the men for some time and then joined the throng and were swept along with it. In aroom they went into lunch was seen spread out equipped with all the usual drinks. The bartenders were too busy to notice the of the vigilance committee, crowd evidentiy did not know the clergy- men. Suddenly there dashed through the door the form ofthe landlord. He was frantic and when he was told who the visitors were the crowd quickly disappeared. With the escaping frequenters, Rev. Mr. Remick made his exit from the hotel unobserved. The towering form of the Rev. Mr. Hill absorbed the atten- tion of the landlord and his colleagues, and they held an exciting mass- meeting upon the spot. Mr. Hill was hustled out of the bar- room into the hall and into another room. ‘*You will ruin my business, said the land- lord. This is the first time I have run an open bar and it was only for to-day that I threw it open. If you will only let me off this time, I will promise that it shall be the last time. I shall not be found in this business in Bath a. Mr. Hill turned a deaf ear. He would not budge an inch from his purpose, and then the half dozen men around him became violent in their manner. He asked them to open the door and allow him to pass out. No attention was paic to his repeated demands. The men in the room with him were intensely excited. They surrounded him and made gestures which he deemed threatening. He drew him- self to his full height of 6 feet and 8 inches, and reaching back with his long right arm placed his hand under his coat tail and in the region of the pistol-pocket. Gentlemen, if you mean to use violence I am prepared for you,’’ hesaid. The landlord and his colleagues fell back to a respectful distance and then came the Marshal to search the premises. The bar-room was searched but no liquor was found beyond a few drops in the bottoms of jugs and bottles which had 4 been hastily emptied down the spout. These few drops and the bottles were brought into the municipal court and the two ministers told what they hadseen. The Judge held that the evidence was insufficient and Gismissed the case.

Boston, Mass., December 28.—Collector Saitonstall was too ill yesterday to devote himself to the perusal of Secretary Fairchild’s notification removing twenty-three Custom- house employes. He was at his office for only an hourinthe morning. The Collector, itis said, will not hurry himself in his unpleasant duty ofremoving the men. By the terms of the order the choice of rémovals rest with him and this will be a matter of considerable thought, inasmuch as the office is filled with - first-class men. Appraiser Stearns said that as he understood jt this reduction is ordered to keep the expenses of the de- artment within the appropriations made Congress: The appropriation was too small last year, and COngress refused to pass a deficiency bill. The same trouble comes again this year and the department has deter- mined to keep within the appropriation at ail hazards. Whatever may be the effect upon the business, the department must cut its : ment according to the cloth. The result,“ said Mr. Stearns, might have been reached in a more economical manner. If, instead of sending two men on here at an expense of $10 per day toexamine the departments. they had notified this office that it must cut down its list to a certain sum in order to bring it within the appropriation, the same result would have been reached and in a simpler and more economical manner. Mr. Stearns was asked if he had made any determination as to where the knife should „Not yet, was the reply. ‘‘There has not been time for proper consideration and, be- sides this, the order does not go into effect until February 1.

Mr. Orickmore in the WorRLD has the fol- lowing comments on the English turf scandal: There are two banquets or dinners annu- ally given in England to which much attention is paid for the reason that the replies to the toasts of the evening are looked forward to as the semi-offictal expressions of the powers the speakers represent. One is the reply to the toast: Her Majesty’s Ministers, at the Lord Mayor’s banquet at the Mansion House, London, on November 9, a speech that on more than one occasion has startled all Europe. The other is the annual dinner ot the Gimcrack Club, at York, at which the reply to the toast, The Stew- ards of the Jockey Olub,’’ usually brings out the views of that body on the rac- ing of the season just ended and sometimes their inteutions in the matter of reforms for the season tocome. The dinner held at Hark- er's Hotel, York, on the 18th inst., was the IAst annual meeting of the ‘‘Ancient Fra- ternity of York Gimcracks,’’ the proceedings of which have not only attracted ail interested in racing in England, but the echoes ot which will be heard round the world, and cause a stricter surveillance over racing not only in England, but in this country, and wherever racing is part and parcel of the amusement of the people. The speaker of the evening was the Hon. James Lowther, one of the three stewards of the Jockey Club, but as he followed the sensational speech made by Lord Durham, who replied to the toast to the ‘‘Stewards and Patrons of York Races, Mr. Lowther’s remarks were some- what anticipated, and of a necessity he was forced to defend the turf against the broad charges made by Lord Durham. At first Lord Durham’s speech did not attract special atten- tion. It was judged as treating the evil practices alleged froma general standpoint. But the charges soon took shape, until finally it was alleged and afterwards positively asserted that the stable alluded to was that owned by Sir George Chetwynd and trained by R. G. Sherrard at Newmarket, and in whose hands at the beginning of the racing season were the horses owned by Lord Lur- an, Sir George Arthur, Gen. Owen Williams r. H. Hungerford, Mr. W. R. Marshall and M. A. de Montgomery. Judged by the cable dispatches during the past week the charges made by Lord Durham have led to one duel taiked about, an investigation by the Jockey Club and a suit for 1 before the courts. What Lord Durham really said will no doubt de of interest to man read- ers of the WORLD. He began by allud- ing to the fact that the stewards of the Jockey Club had again issued their annual notice to jockeys to send in their applications for licenses to ride in 1889, which as usual, was coupled with a notice to the effect that they willin future withdraw the license of any jockey who aay be proved to have any inter- est in any race horse or to have been engaged in any betting transactions.’’ In connection with which Lord Durham said: If they in- force this rule we shall see a very different list of names of principal winning jockeys at the end of next season. These remarks naturally created much astonishment, and as they were followed by some ofthe plainest kind of talk about owners ‘‘for putting up jockeys of ill-repute to win them races, what are we to say of owners who also employ them to win them money. There is a considerable difference in my mind between winning races and winning money on the turf. The former Is a manly, exciting sport of emulation and rivalry, the latter too often an ignoble strug- gie to outwit other people.’’ These remarks were, however, but a prelude of what was to follow, and as remarked at the time, the lis- teners were intensely interested. That they were surprised is certain, for the following extractfrom Lord Durham’s speech is per- haps the gravest charge ever made by one English nobleman against another: There is a well-known, and what the sport- ing press calls a fashionable and arstocratic, racing stable that has been conspicuous throughout the racing season for the constant and ineaplicable in-and-out running of its horses. ‘Their running has surprised and dis- gusted the public; besides losing them their money it has driven the handicapper to his wit’s endto discover the true formof the horses he has to apportion weights to, and it has scandalized all true lovers of the sport of horse-racing. When I have asked those in au- thority what action they intended to take to rid us of this gang, and when I asked the handicapper why he does not put top weight on horses which are constantly epoil- ing his conscientious and well- meant en- deavors to roduce a good handicap the answeris always the same: ‘What can wedo? Wethink their doings are disgraceful, but they are too clever for us.’ If these horses had been mine I shouid long ago have insisted upon an explanation from their jockey of their peculiar running. Poasibly he could give a satisfactory reason for it; but the dark- est part of the matter is this—that the owners or nominal owners of the horses to which I am alluding win large stakes when their horses are successful, but do not lose much when — are beaten. If you wish to purify the turf you must go to the fountain-head. The Jockey Club members, with scarcely one ex- ception, are honorable, straightforward gen- tlemen. Lam certain that it is as much a mat- ter of regret to all of them as it is to me that some men equal to us in social position and in racing influence have failed to maintain the fair reputation of the turf.’’ This was an astounding statement. Those present well knew that the jockey speciaily alluded to was Charley Wood, while they could not help realizing that the stable charged was that owned by Sir George Chetwynd. Had the charges been made a few years ago the Prince of Wales would have been looked upon as a p to the transactions. But it has been gener understood that since the affair in Hyde Park between Lord Lonsdale and Sir George Chetwynd, about Mrs. Lang- try, the latter has been excluded from the Mariborough House list. The standing of both Lord Durham and Sir George Chetwynd on the turf has, howéver, been fairly good—the former perhaps the bet- ter of the two, inasmuch ashe did not make betting a specialty of his racing, while it was the reverse in the caseof Sir George Chet- wynd. Both were large owners, Lord Dur- ham’s stringin the spring numbering some twenty-four head, ot which half were 2-year- olds. Sir George Chetwynd also had a pretty big 1 * and they were in active service from the beginning of the season at Lincoln to the end of the season at Manchester. He won the first race of the y at Lincolu with Giesshubler, while during the autumn meetings the horses most prominent under the Chetwyrd straw and sky blue were Gordan (6), Fullerton, Whitefriar and Plantag- enet (4 each) Stetchworth, Gubat and Never * > Abelard, King eac am’s attack is due to the fact that he has been a serious loser. Of course his peryng book is not public property, but the lis wi owners shows that he won eighteen races worth £8,049, an increase over 1886, when he won £2,124, as against £1,572 in 1885. Mail advices, especially those late in the past week, will no doubt bring fall and interesting statements, 1 those containing pee Trainer Sherrard and Jockey Wood say © matter. = eI PUGLIOMANIA.

Judson Birchall, the famous left fielder ofthe champion Athletics of 1888, died at his home in Philadelphia on Thursday, says the New York Sun. He was 27 years of age, and had been playing ball since 1877, when he played with the Alerts of Germantown. He made such a brilliant record with that club that the following year he was induced to sign with the Athletics. He played with them for a season and then went to Hartford, but shortly after he came.back agd began playing with the Biue Stockings again. It was in 1883, however, when the Athletics wom the championship of the American Association, that Jud Birchall’s strong points asa player were made mest manifest. His batting, fielding and runni were unequalled. In the three games with the St. Louis Club at the close of the season and which virtually decided the championship, Birchall did some remarkable playing. 0 made five runs, eight hits, and asce five chances in the field without an error Charie Mason, in speaking of Birchall, said: There never was amore honest or u t — Had ever stepped on the feild than d irchall. He was universally respected by ball players and never in his long career was he ever accused of doing a mean act by either managers or players. © was one of the mainstays of the Athletics when they won the championship in 88, and one of the best throwers to the home-plate from the field that ever played in the Assooiation:’’ Of late years Birchall’s health was such as to compel him to give up professional ball play- ing, and he went inte the ey ee business In Germantown, occasionally play- ing a game, however, with the N wns some other local club. Last season he was one of the Amateur League’s staff of umpires, and it can be said that heshowed himself as good at umpiring as he was at playing Clips and Chips. | Rumor has it that Bancroft will manage the Bostons.

JOHNSON’S OPINION or HIS-OWN AVAILABILITY. The New Candidate for Governor Unbosoms Himself— Enough Democratic and Re- publican Temperance Voters to Justify a „Run“ — Probable Stand of the State Convention onthe Prohibition Question —The Local Option and Sunday Laws. The announcement in the Sunday Posr- DISPATOH that ex-Gov. Chas. P. Johnson would probably enter the field as an inde- pendent candidate for Governor on the tem- perance issue has caused a great deal of talk, probably more outside of the city than in it. The daily press of St. Joseph, Sedalia, Hannibal and other interior cities have made it the subject of extensive comment. Gov. Johnson was seen to-day by a Post-D1sPaTCH reporter and interviewed at considerable length. He responded with deliberation, and after careful pondering over each sentence. **Governor, if the Democratic State Conven- tion should go anti-temperance do you think that a candidate would be justified by the Democratic and Republican temperance vote in the state to essay the run for Governor?’’ „Tes. I believe that the majority of the Republican party in the State would vote against the saloon, and the Democratic ma- jority would do the same. I base that opin- ion on the previous expressions of the people through their representa- tives in the Legislature. For the last three sessions it has been only dy the most strenuous efforts by the politicians and people interested in the liquor business that a bill for submission of a constitutional amendment has been prevented from passing. The Wood law is after all a compromise, passed for the very purpose of preventing = question of submission being presented to the eople. And, further, the vote on the Wood aw inthe various counties of the state has shown conclusively that the temperance senti- ment is predominant in both parties. Hereto- fore the politicians have been enabled to include in their platforms enuncia- tions about this question be construed in different to suit their own wishes, In other words, they were so drawn as to fail to present the issuedirectly. They have straddled the ques- tion. The question has assumed such im- portance throughout the United 8 „ and Sapestany in the Democratic strong- hoids n the Southern States, that it is impossible any more to straddie the question. The three great issues at pres- ent before the American public in the order of their importance, are: Temperance, the rela- tion of capital and labor and the tariff. And on these issues the time has come when a man cannot dedge ae to secure party success. The people have become too we through the discussion in the daily the day of the time-serving politician gone. Have you any evidence of how the State Convention will stand?’’ Only the evidence that has developed in the State since the last conventions met, showing that the sentiment has grown stronger and stronger. „WI it go anti-temperance?’’ „Woll, the most ambitious politicians in the Democratic party in Missouri willtry to make it go so, and if they fail they will try to have a negative expression, which they think will preventa rupture.’’ „Why should ambitious politicians take such a stand if the temperance sentiment is as strong as you say it is?’ „Because they den’t wish to 1 the strength of the liquor interest, and use they desire to avoid having the question come into the next Presidential campaign.’’ **Do you think it will get into that cam- ‘ n' t see how it can be avoided.

He is laid up in jail with a very severe attack of disease, and Dr. Priest, the Jail Physician, is of the opinion that if Maloney Is not removed from the institution he will be a dead man in- side of afew months. This morning he made out a statement to that effect, and Jailer Callahan indorsed it. Mr. Thomas M. Knapp, attorney for Maloney,has presented the docu- ment to Judge Normile and is endeavoring to prevail upon the latter to order Maloney’s re- moval to the City Hospital.
