SUMMONED FOR LIBEL. | Some time ago Lord Durham made an un- successful application to the courts for the annullment of his marriage on the ground that his wife was insane when he married her. To-day a summons was granted Lord Durham against the owner of the paper, Bat, for libel in stating that Lord Durham’s brutality drove his wife mad.

THIS HALE OLD MAN whom — ge man in St. Louis knows, grew ulte a nin after he quit events 990 — became famons as a stump i speake — and in 1 ae elected to the Legislature of Illinois asa Whig. He there met Abraham Lincoln, bhi re A. Douglas,Gen. James Shields, Jobn J. ardin, Gen. James Semple (afterward Senator and later Minister to Guatamala) John A. McCilernand, O. B. Mattison (afterward Governor) and other men famous in IIlinois not nationally known. This Legislature, o which Nicolay and Hay have given an extended account in their ‘‘Life of Abraham Lincoln,’’ Originated an immense system of internal improvments, which Hogan was selected to champion. He came to St. Louis in 1845 and became connected as a partner with Edward J. Gay & Uo. , which was the only grocery house not burned in the conflagration of May, 1849. In consequence of their exemption the trade of this firm was enormous and Hogan 80 overtaxed himself and physically that his nervous system never recovered from the shock. An infirmity resulted which has gradually in- creased as he has advanced in age. He, how- ever, continued to occupy a prominent posi- tion in public affairs and was Postmaster of St. Louis from 1858 to 1861 when Lincoln re- moved him. He had been an ardent sup- porter of Douglas, having leit the Whi at the beginning of the Know-Not ing agitation. For fifteen years he has been out of the harness of business or public life and yet few men would be more missed than Honest John Hogan. He — always been strictly abstemious in his hab- , and Dw his * days walked and rode N — deal. hen on the circuit in preach- ing days his power of endurance was regarded as miraculous by the hardy 28 who knew of his feats of long distance riding. RICHARD DOWLING is a name but little known to the modern &t. Louisan. He was, however, well known some forty or more years ago in the town of St. Louis,and is not quite 3 by those whose memory holds all of lite. is 82 years old, and though for some . he has done no manual labor, is not altogether incapable. In fact, he is about as hale as man of his years in this the country. Born in raised at Lexington, Ky., he came to St. Louis in 1817. The journey was by keel-boat to Shaw- neetown, III., and thence with teams over the Turkey road to the Mississippi and St. Louis. At the time of his arrival there were 1,600 whites in St. Louis and often as many Indians. He resided here continuously, but made man trips through the Indian country. All his life he has been accustomed to drinking liquor whenever be wanted it, and though for several years he has hardi tasted an intoxicant, does — believe that life is lengthened by abstuin- int; When I want something to drink I take it,“ he says. He has chewed tobacco for sixty years, and still finds pleasure in the weed. All oi his early life was passed out of 43 and he | spent many hours walking and on horseback. Six years ago he made a trip to the Indian Territory, and rode a horse from Chouteau’s old trad ng- post to Locust Grove—a distance of twenty-five miles. At the end of the ride he felt fresh and abie to repeat the feat. Mr. Dowling possésses a very clear memory of old St. Louis, and the Missouri Historical Society hus resorted to him on many occasions for facts which could not be elsewhere ob- tained. For some years he furnished a neoro- logical article to the Missouri Republican at the end of each year, but has latterly given this up. GEN. WM. 8 HARNEY.

TRUSTEN P. DYER GIVES HIS IDEA OF HIGH LICENSE. mum Based on His Experience as a Pablic Prose- cutor in the Polieé Court of This City High License Yields the City an Annual Revenue of $658,837.28—But Mr. Dyer Says His Experience Shows That Drink Cests the City 9643,065. 66. Trusten P. Dyer, former City Attorney, said to-day that he was surprised by the talk about the value of high Heense. No man, said he, ‘‘would make such statements if he had seen as much of the life at the Four Courts as Ihave. He would see that the great increase in revenue from high licénse does not stop the crime and shame of the city, that hand in hand with the immense revenue come bills for expenses immense enough to startle any one. It is said that the revenue from dram shop licenses for the fiscal year ended in April, 1887, was $782,041.42. That is no doubt correct. But let us look atthe other side. For every credit you must have a cor- responding debit, isa rule in book-keeping that demolishes the high-license argument. The saloons are credited with $700,000 rev- enue paid. What ought they to be charged with? Let us see. The arrests each year for drunkenness of all kinds were 4,120, classi- fied as follows: Drunk on the street.. ° Drunk in market places... e ——U R * te Drunk in — parks.. obese 065 Delirium tremens SPC eee pee Ce eeee eeeerr ee „Besides these there were 220 cases of care- less driving, one-half of which were due to drink. There were 300 cases of cruelty to ani- mals, of which three-fourths were caused by drink. For disturbing the peace 5,278 persons were arrested, of whom at least three- had their passions excited There were 1,714 cases of cy, and of these not fewer three-fourths were caused by liquor. these statements who im. I speak of what I learned as a public official in the Police Court at the Four Courts. Nobody who has had a continuous acquaintance with such courts as Judge Cady’s will dare rise and say my estimates are too high. Now, classifying the arrésts which I have showr are traceable to drink, we have this table: Drunks of all kinds Indecent 898 Careless driving.. ar ae to animais.. Disturbing the peace.. agrancy and wes Total „% . lll 9. 976 It will be seen that my percentages are fair. It would be just to say, I believe, that all the Vagrancy cases can laid at the door of drunkenness. In fact there is no denying the proposition that five eighths of the arrests made by the police are drunkenness. We-eighths of the time of the olicemen, the polies courts and the udges is taken up attending to such cases. Five-elghths of the capacity of the Work house and of the money spent there is devoted to people turned over on account of their devotion to drink. Five-eighths of the salaries paid to ali these officials are paid be- cause of the drunkenness of the city. In this list should also be meluded the Criminal Court, as a Grand-jury has gone on record as saying that 85 per cent of the crime that comes before that court ig traceable to drink. Now, if five- eigh ths of the expense of these de- partments is shown to be larger than, or even — as large, as the revenue derived from the licenses the argument derived from the increased revenue, the high license argument, falls to the ground. From the last annual re- port of the Comptroller Ifind that the ex- penses of the institutions having directly to do with the ards are as follows: e.. coe, 0 „„ 22 „„ than Now let anyone den has figures to back Court ot Criminal ‘Correction. ial cee ma Criminal Court ‘*Five-eighths of this sum is $485,791. 5S. That represents the expenses of institutions that have to do directly with liquor criminals. Now take institutions that have a logical connection with drinking. Take for instance the City Hospital, the Insane Asylum and such places, and ask their superintendents what filis them up, and they will say liquor does one- half of it. The expenses of the Poor-house last year were $71,392.81; of the City 1 $77,478.05; of the Female Hospital, 3, of the Insane Asylum, $83,048.82; of the Dis- —— $17 ,886.29 395,of th: the 2 8 office and orgue, $11 6. 4,848.22.

Under a different name and charter, making it a different corporation or civil person altogether, the same com- pany owns and operates a railroad which aims ata monopoly of the coal-carrying business and of the hard-coal market. The obvious method of attaining its end is by keeping up the price of transportation and keeping down the price of coal at the mine so as to discourage competition in mining, keep down miners’ wages, put up the price of coal to consumers, and thus squeeze out of the combined business of the two companies ‘*all that the coal traffic will bear“ in the way of dividends on indefinitely. watered ' stocks and securities. All that the com- pany nominally loses as a miner it gains asacommon carrier. It fixes rates and capitalization for both corporations; tak- ing out of one pocket to put into another does not cost the owner anything and helps mightily in the way of mystifying the public with juggling reports of earn- ings and expenditures. In dealing with the Telephone Company we are dealing with another of those two- headed corporation partnerships, organ- ized in a way to facilitate any amount of juggling with the figures in regard to its capitalization, expenditures and earn- ings. The creation of the artificial per- sons called corporations by a fiction of law affords facilities for artificial or ficti- tious capitalization, the rating of wind, water, future prospects, political in- fluence, newspaper influence or any other such asset as paid up capital.“ When there is a wheel within a wheel, two of these corporations working in partner- ship under one control to rob a city, they can make their figures tell amazing lies. But when we see this same monopoly doing business profitably at a $50 rate in combination with local companies in all the small cities, it needs no ghost to tell us that there must be deception in the figures by which it seeks to convince us that the larger business cannot be done in the larger citiesat a rate lessthan $100. There is nothing in the nature or appliances of the telephone business to reverse the law which enables a larger and more concen- trated service to be rendered cheaper than a smaller and more scattered service by telephone companies, as by gas oom- panies. — — — — Protectioni ts Would PVion Rebel Soldiers. From the Boston Herald. The Atlanta Constitution suggests that the interual- revenue taxes be repealed in order that the Southern States, by increasing the State and local taxes on liquor and tobacco, may be enabled to make some provision of support for the declining years of pless Confederate veterans, and the Ph Press says of it that it is ‘‘both hum practical.

The worst chapters in our recent his- tory show howthe ablest lawyers have for enormous fees aided in perpetrating and per- fecting the vilest schemes for public plunder. There is no crime so dark that leading mem- bers of the bar will not accept a fee to defend those who conspire against the welfare of the people. These are not mere phrases of denunciation. Inthe early days of Jay Gould lawyers and judges were anxious to be debauched, and stood ready to find a law or make it for any contemplated crime. In the days of Tweed the lawyers were his satellites, and it was only when the press had awakened the public conscience that it was possible for Mr. Tilden to bring him to justice. Jacob Sharp has used the lawyers first to execute and next to defend his public crime. In Chicago, in Philadelphia, in Boston, in every great city, at every State capital, we find lawyers retained by all the plundering rings and remorseless syndicates. The only protection to the people is the press. The overthrow of every ring, the exposure of every crime, has been the work of the press. She Went Tobegganing. From the Georgetown (Colo.) Courier. Silver Creek Gulch, near the Jo Reynolds mine, is a vast sheet of icé, caused dy the overflowing of a spring, and if it wasn’t for abrupt stopping would make an excellent hill for coasting.

Just as she was leaning over to fill a bucket, one of those ninety- mile-an-hour gusts Inflated her skirts and ina jiffy she was tobogganing down the ice- field before a stiff breeze, with all sails set, arms outstretched and in each hand a bucket, that served the double purpose of ballast and mizzen spanker. After a rough voyage of several hundred yards the beautiful craft ran ashore on the Jo Reynolds dump, somewhat theworse in rigging for her impromptu ex- perience at tobogganing without a toboggan. Our informant neglected to particularize the damages, so we leave it to the imagination of the reader, METROPOLITAN PRESS. What the Editors of the New York Journals Are Saying This Morning. By Telegraph to the PostT-DIsPaTcu. NEw Tonk, January 28.—The WORLD says: „Wherever combination usurps the place of competition it is perfectly certain that the price of the commodity controlled will be kept above the point where it can be sold at a fair profit and it is reasonably sure that the quality will. deteriorate. That is what the Trusts are for. THE TRIBUNE. The Tribune says: Congress ought to los no time in formally accepting the invitation of the French Government to take part in the exhibition of 1889. It will not be a world’s fair, since monarchical governments dislike the traditions of the overthrow of the Bastile, but for this very reason the summons should be heeded, The two nations which were in close accord in 1776 and 1789 shouid vie with each other in commemorating the triumphs of the Democratic movement during the century.’’ THE TIMES. The Times says: ‘‘There is one — of pro- moting one’s political ambition which never seems to have occurred to David B. Hill, although it is so conspicuously illustrated by the career of his predecessor in the Gover- nor’s chair. A courageous and straightfor- ward performance of public duty and a con- sistent devotion to the best interests of the people, regardless of incidental effects upon one’s self or party, is really the surest way of commanding popular confidence. It may make a man necessary to his party and win for that party support which it could get in no other way, when selfish plotting and planning, the hiring of support by favors and promises, dnd the ying of tricks to control committees and delegations will only excite contempt and lead to discomfiture, We are afraid it is too late for Mr. Hill to learn this lesson in time to benefit by it, but heisina fair way to become convinced that the Presi- dency of the United States cannot be won by petty political tricks and chicanery.’’ “Bfaxwell and His Visitors.

The objection was that the assessment against the property-holders would be considerable, and that granite would be too noisy. The two principal pro- testers are owners of iron foundries. During the discussion the Mayor said he favored granite reconstruction, and for this street particularly, as it formed @ necessary link in the chain of reconstructed streets. One of the protestors incidentally mentioned the pumber of the bill for which they asked a veto, when it was discovered that the bill had been signed on the d inst., and is now alaw. The property-holders were sur- prised to find that they were too late, They agreed to meet, and if possible induce the Mayor to veto the bill. The Board of Public Improvements mest at noon to-day to hear the views of property holdors on the proposed reconstruction of North Broadway between Bremen and &t. Louis avenues. Several holders were present to protest against the reconstruction as unneces- sary and ‘involving a heavy expenditure on the parts of the city and the 2E -helcere. rth Broadway has been * 2 recon- structed and isisthe intention of the Street Commissioner to push the work still further north during the next year. The Board re- served its decision in the matter. The Telephone Inguiry. Mr. Geo. F. Durant, General Manager of the Bell Telephone Company, appeared before the House Committee to which the bill pro- viding for the reduction of telephone rentals was referred. He said that it was out of the question to reduce the wg ogee rent to $50 er annum. Hesaid that the compety has „100 telephones and 8,600 miles of wire. The average rent of telephones is $97 and the average cost of operating $72.06. The royalty on each instrument was $20. He stated that in none of the — cities telephones were rented at the proposed price. Mr. Fielding Mansfield, who was present at the session of the com- mittee and heard Mr. Durant’s testimony con- cerning the expenses of operating the tele- phone system to-day, said: ‘‘I stated that thirty female operators at $45 each per month could do the work. Of course this means skilled operators. t stated the number actually employed to be thirty- three, whose pay ran from 316 to #0. I have stated the cost for this of the service ata very large excess of price actually paid according to Durant’s statement. II skilled female operators at per month were em- ployed the subscribers would receive better service, and a large amount of daily annoy- ance and profanity. would be avoided. 1 placed the pay of the poor women at $45 per month, because it never occurred to me that a corporation making so much money would have the heartlessness to subject women to such a constant and trying ordea!) for any less sum. I didnot give my „ as the figures paid by the company, but at such figures as the work could be done at. When the other items are sifted down the same rela- tive actual cost will K appear.

The committee adjout to meet Feb 8, when further inquiry. will be made into the expenses of operating telephones. — The Gas Investigation. Chairman Stone of the Gas Investigation Cemmittee to-day stated that he would not call a meeting of his committee until next week. In the meantime the stenographer will prepare a report of the testimony alread taken. From this the Chairman will take suc points as it is necessary to further develop the elucidation of the Gas Trust, Crossing Clark Avenue. Delegate John Olark arrived at the City Hall in a good humor this morning. He was in ignorance of the fact that the Bridge & Tun- nel Company had reintroduced the bill to con- nect the Finker 4 Smith Malt House Company with the railroad track. When he heard the news he was surprised. „Why, said he, ‘‘Olark avenue is the only street between Chouteau avenue and Market street that is open for travel, and now they ropose to cut that off with a railroad track. The Mayor vetoed the last bill of that kind, but the House passed it n ovegphis veto. That was before the decision by Ju Dillon. The bill was then applied for by the Malt -bouse Company. GAS MAY BE FOUND, But a Big Supply of Natural Gas Is a Very Rare Thing. Benjamin Lardner, a well-known grain dealer of Chicago, was on the floor of the Mer- chants’ Exchange this morning. To a Post- D1isPaTOH reporter Mr. Lardner said: ‘‘I am greatly interested in the subject of natural gas and some weeks ago spent several days at Edwardeville examining the boring in progress near there.

The reporter, however, obtained from an authoritative source a resume of the document which was received by the com- mittee. DR. TAUSSIG’S ANSWER. In his answer Dr. Taussig sharply rebukes the committee for their general sweeping ac- cusations, in the first letter,to which, no 7 Acre game having been made, only an in- dignant general denial could be given. To the specific charges in the differential b — Sy rate contained in the second letter of the committee, a resume of which is given, he replies, explaining fully and with much earnestness the reasons there- for. Inanutsbell the reason is that the 2 cents charge for grain to and from the elevator includes not only the charge for transit across the bridge, but also the switching charges which previously bad to be paid by the shipper over and above the bridge rate. No such service being rendered for through grain there is of course no charge made for it. As tothe charge that the western lines ab- sorb the bridge transfer in their through rate, he says that this is outside of his de t that the committee must address the officers of the western lines on a subject over which he has no control. Dr. Taussig aiso asserts that the committee has failed to accomplish anything satisfactory since its existence d reason the dictatorial and #busive policy which it has pursued toward railroads and their officers, instead of the policy of patient and unprejudiced investigation, of friendly conferences and harmonizing of mutual interests. He invites them to present the bridge tariff to the Interstate Commerce Commission and courts the closest inquiry. He winds up by reading them a mild lecture and while expressing regard for the members individually, does not express a high opinion of the methods pursued by the co generally. A CONTRACT FOR LIFE. Peculiar Damage Suit Against the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company~—A Trade-Mark Case. William Helling entered a suit this afternoon in the Circuit Court against the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company to recover $5,136 on account of a breach of contract. He states that he was injured in an accident on the road west of Kirkwood and in consideration of his abandoning all claims for damages the com- pany ag to employ him for life at $1.25 per aor He complains that the company did not adhere to its contract, but discharged. him without any cause. Judge Dillon this afternoon heard and took under advisement the trade-mark injunction suit of the Royal Cigar Company against Schoenbeck. The complainants put up a special brand of cigars in a box labelled with a photograph of Judge Noonan, ‘‘the People’s Favorite’’ being printed in the scrollabove.

Letters haye been received from Mexico, stating that a strong effort is bei made to induce the Mexican government to im rt duty upon silver ore. This movement originates with the various smelting compa- nies of the United States, w interests in lead mines cause them to Wiggs the intro- duction of lead ores eo of duty although their smelting works are benefited by the amount of ore which they receive from exico. Nearly all the Mexican ores are very rich in lead, which under the present system comes in free of du when ship as silver ore, although subject to a when im | as lead. No hope is en- tertained that Congress will pass any law taxing lead thus brought into the country, and the only hope of preventing the competition that its introduction entaile lies in persuading the Mexican Government to im- —— an export duty. One company, itis un - erstood, has offered to erect large smelting works at Zacatecas should this duty be im- posed, and those who have the eme in charge are very confident of success. A.

It has never been paid, and now amounts to the round sum of $3,600,000. It has been allow- ed by Oongress two or three times and also by the United States Court of Claims. About half of it is pledged to lawyers and other mid- dlemen. The last Choctaw Council passed some kindof legislation obnoxious to these attorneys and they are now obstructing any measure in Congress appropriating money for these claims. A called session of the Council was held in November to compromise the affair with the attorneys, but failed to effect anything. The net proceed money will hardly reach “fhe In- dians this year. There is talk of another —— session of the Council to adjust this matter. A Big Time Promised.

SULLIVAN OFFERS TO STOP JEM SMITH IN SIX ROUNDS. ‘And in the Event of His Failure to Forfeit $1,000—The Same Offer to Hold With Kilrain—The Peds in Training—Theo- legical Foot-Ball Players—Billiards in the EKast—Latham Returns and Chats About California—Sporting News ‘and Notes. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lonpon, January 28.— Any man who takes the trouble to spend a day at Windsor will be convinced that John L. Sullivan proposes to leave no stone unturned to get himself in the finest possible trim for his forthcoming fight with Mitchell, for whom he professes to have the utmost contempt. That the American his claim to the title which his friends bestow upon him is patent to all the sporting men of Great Britain. He has proffered all manner of propositions to both SMITH AND KILRAIN, but thus far his efforts have been fruitless. Notwithstanding the many assertions that have been thrown out to the effect that Sulll- van’s days of usefalness in the ring are a matter of the past, those who are with him declare that he is as active as ever, while they wink knowingly when talking of the Boston boy’s striking abilities. John Bull, Englana’s premier book-maker, engages to wager any part of $25,000 that Sullivan can quickly @ispose of any man in the world, and as Bull is considered a good judge of fighting men, his «pinion that Sullivan is the greatest man ever seen in the rimg is worthy of more than passing notice. There is a belief in the minds of the majority of the people here that Mitchell will back out at che last moment, and sporting men are ung te guess what means he will resort to in order to avoid en- tering the ring when called. upon, to face Sullivan. The latter is sertain to be fit when the day arrives, and pines for the time to come for fightitig. As the magnanimous offer held out by Sulli- van to Smith has failed to bring forth a Vor- able response from the Englishman, the Bos- ton pet comes forward once more with & proposition which must certainly put Smith on his mettie, and which appears to be the most liberal one ever held outtoa man who poses asa prize-ring champion. The following is the last letter that Sullivan has written on the subject: SULLIVAN'S LETTER. The flimsy and evasive reply which Flem- ing has made to my last offer to Smith appears to bé the most ridiculous one ever published, and must necessarily lessen the intorest and favor heretofore bestowed on Smith and his manager. It may be well for me to an- alyze the record of both Smith and KII- rain. Then let the public judge as to whether or no IL have acted in good faith and spoken anything but thetruth. Fleming considers Kilrain is the champion of America. Did he ever fight forthe title? No. I know him to be a common, every-day ‘‘scrupper’’ and an instructor of boxing in limited rounds of soft-glove bouts. He tought draws with Jem Goode, then past his prime; twice with Jack Burke, Mike Cleary, rge Fryer,Frank Hearid, Charley Mitchell, and with small gioves he disposed of Joe non, who had previously been beaten by a novice. As for myself, Ionce MADE KILRAIN RUN OFF the stage in two rounds, while he ran away from a fairly-made match with Peter Nolan. He challenged me when Ihada broken arm. Smith has never besten any good men, and failed to defeat Alf Greenficid when the lat - ter was past his usefulness. I won the American championship in the ring, with bare knuckles, and being unable to procure a customer, I was forced to assume the role of a boxer, instead ofa fighter, disposing of ali comers in a limited number of rounds or agree to forfeit ali the gate receipts provid- ing I was unsuccessful. I am recognized in America as the champion of that country b all good judges and the general public. 1 have come over here to meet England’s best man, but, from all appearances, I shall be disappointed. Fleming has used all manner of excuses, and being closely cornered, he claims it to be too close to the late fizzle at to sign for another buttle. Smith has my sympathy and I am sure it would grieve metoforce him into doing any hard work. The general public know thatit requires butflittle preparation for a glove bout of a few rounds, Therefore I desire to ad- Vance one more proposition which, if not ac- et will certainly place Smith before the public in an unenviable light and demonstrate that Fleming proposes to keep his star per- former from any possible chance of a thor- ough whipping. I hereby agree to DEFEAT JEM SMITH in six rounds with small gloves, 88 to Marquis of Queensbury rules, before a limited number of spectators, near ndon, inthe latter part of March, and should I fall to ac- complish the task I undertake, I will forfeit to Smith $1,000. I wish the public to know that providing Smith is beaten he loses nothing, wisile in the event of his success I lose $1,000. It is nothing more or less than an offer where I lay myself liable to lose $1,000 and at the best come out even. Should such a proposal fail to meet with Smith’s approval, I will meet him in public, where such an affair will be sanctioned to go through and knock him out of time in six rounds or forfeit all the gate receipts. Under no conditions, however, can the con- test be a draw. I must either win or lose, because, if it stopped we must then do six rounds in — oe for the gate money taken in at the public affair. . Any of the offers I have advanced to Smith are open to Kilrain. Oan any man living make greater sacrifices or con- cessions than I have? Surely Smith must come to the front or wiltlike a wetrag. I have no objection to Fleming blowing loud by his trumpet or continuing his hurdy-gurdy busi- ness. I propose to adhere to my original deciaration of returning home the first week of April, and in the event of my being unable to effect a meeting with Smith before my departure from Engiand I shallthen proclaim to the world without stint that FLEMING WAS AFRAID to have Smith meet me. I will not bother much with Kilrain at present, because I know I will have my trouble for nothing. When we are both in America, however, i will set my tracks for the alleged champion and force him into a fight, ardless of what his desires or intentions may be. In America it is custemary to put up money first and talk afterwards. The Sportsman holds money posted by me weeks ago. So let Fleming cover it before he has too much to say. Money talks and shows business, and if Fleming has the remotest idea of doing business let him produce his man and his gold. Yours truly, OHR L. BULLIVAN, n. THE PEDS.

Walter Latham, the lively third baseman of the St. Louis Base Ball Club, arrived in the city this morning from San Francisco, with his mother, and registered at the Laclede Hotel. Latham will remain in the olty one week, and will then go to Kansas Oity, in the neighborhood of which he will hunt for afew days and will then return to this city where he will spend the balance of the winter. Latham is delighted with the trip to the Pacific ‘coast and says that the people of San Fran- cisco gave the Hastern players a nd recep- tion. ‘‘Everybody made a little money,’’ said he, and everybody was satisfied with the result ofthe trip. After some hagglin on the part of the managers a series o three games was finally arranged between the rowns and the New Yorks. Only two of them were played, however. The score stood one game won and one game lost on each side, and the deciding game was to have been played last Sunday. When we got out to the * they were so soft from the rain that the game couldn't be played, so the series was not finished. There were about 8,000 people out there to see us play. but of course they had to be disappointed. How was it that VanHaltren shut you out without a single hit?’’ „Well, I'n tell you. That fellow pitched the strangest game I ever saw that day, and every ball he put over the plate had feathers on it. But that wasn’t all. ou see the ground was soft, and you couldn’t hit a grounder with any amount of speed at all. The soft ground. would stop the hits and put ‘em right in the hands of the infield. At the same time Van Haitren was doing some the heaviest pitching I ever saw in my life ane. it was pretty hard to hit him, not count- goft ground at all.“ will be remembered thata story was print- 6a about Latham and Comiskey having hada and Latham was asked for the details. 5 „ gaid he that is all nanownse. Comiskey and “Lud a word of any kind at all. We saw the account of the affair in the papers and couldn’t make out at all what it was all about. You can say for me that the story was made out of whole cloth from the start and that there was not a word of truth in it. Why, Comiskey and I are old friends and never had a fight in our liaes. But I want to tell you, Latham went on, „bout Frisco. You know, Arthur Irwin, Bushong and Comiskey had their families out West with them. Well, all their children got the measies together and Irwin thought that one of his was going to die. One doctor was attending toallof them, and he was taken down with black small-pox and died in one week. The chiidren finally ot well. Frisco is a great town, though, and fit wasn’t for the weather of the place would be a nice city to live in.’’ „How is Bushong pleased with his removal to Brooklyn?’’ On, be likes it well enough. I want to get away from the town tf Ioan. Loan get big money from Louisville, and besides I am dis- satisfied with the way things are being done here. Bushong advised me to stay here, but I don’t know whether I will or not.“ Do you think that the changes made in the a of the team will weaken it next ear?’ 2 They won't weaken us a bit. We will sail right in and win the championship just as easy as weever did. You don’t know that we’ve gotapitcher that is as goodaman as ever trod the diamond field, and his name is Charley King. That’s the coming pitcher, and don't you forget it. Latham looks better than ever, and brings with him alot of Chinese goods in the shape of handkerchiefs, which he bought at cheap rates in Chinatown. ~ mee. 4 — Religious Foot - Ball. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. New Haven, Conn., January 28.—The theo- logical proclivities of the foot-ball captains that have been elected since the fall cham- plonship cantests ought to cause slugging to be reiuced to a minimum during next season’s games. Oapt. Corbin, who Will supervise the tricks of the Yale Giants next fall, is a pros- pective ty hog and is one of the most actively reljgious men in college. Like his friend, Capt. Stagg of the base ball team, he takes a prominent part in the frequent reputa- tions which at the 1 of Prof. Drum - mond the Yale branch of the Young Men's Christian Association send out to make fra- ternal visits to other colleges. Cowan, who is lately elected captain of the Princeton eleven, and who played about two-thirds of the game for the New Jersey kickersin every foot-ball contest where Dr. McCosh’s Institution was represented last fall, is an enthusiastic divine and while attending Mr. Mooddy’s school for Bible study lastsummer he resolved to be- come a mission „ „Hector, as Cowan is pores called ,graduated from Princeton this yeur; but will return in the fall to study the- ology and foot-ball. George Manchester, the new captain of the slugging Wesleyan eleven, also has missionary aspirations of a pro- nounced type. His muscularity is packed full of Methodism p one of the most popular students at Wesleyan College. College athletic are apparently des- tined to give the church militant a big boom this year. Billiards in the East. The cushion-carrom tournament now being held in Philadelphia is simply proving the difficulty of that style of game, and also how few men their are in America who can make a grand average of as high as 21%, says a Chicago paper. Edward McLaughlin is tied for first place with a young player named Burris, they each W * clean score of five winning games. Mc ughlin, who hasarecord of 942 at the ‘‘straight-rail’’ game, and is probably the best of the Eastern experts (bar Sexton and Daly) atthe baik-line games, will most likely win the tournament, which means that be will be cushion-carrom champion of Penn- sylvania, and yet be will scarcely make a grand average of 2\. McLaughlin is essentially a nurser and has on record à run ot 31. He was handicapped at 170 for the 8 tournament, but had he started at 110 would scarcely have won a prize. Connecticut has also a State championship contest in progress. One of the contestants is Matt Hewins, who played in the first State tournament, held in 864 (claimed to be the first affair of the kind ever held), and so must now be well along in re. ne style of game is the 8-inch baikline, 250 points up, on a Gerd table, yet Hewins, with an average of three and a fraction, is winning mes. ge quite generally overlooked fact is it that the poorest of Western professionals would be considered ‘‘some pumpkins’’ if ‘‘Move your family West“ should e to Move your family East.“ Rifle Shooting.

The Disastrous Floods Which Are to be Expected Throughout the West the Spring 4 Sudden Overflow Which Stopped Traffic on the Denver & Ric Grande for Six Weeks—Water as a De- structive Element, With Examples H- lustrative of Its Effects. George Hernshaw of Fort Collins, Cole., who arrived at the Laclede this morning, remarked to a Post-DisPaTou reporter, The amount of snow that has fallen in the mountains this winter is much above the average, and we all fear most disastrous floods in the spring. The mountain and plains floods exceed in violence anything known in other parts of the country, and not only do great damage to property, but also cause great loss of life among the stock. No place anywhere near the mountains is safe, as when a cloudburst occurs, or a sudden thaw melts the snows, the water breaks out of the gorges and moves across the plains utterly irrespective of river beds, and is as likely to strike one ranch as another. Some years ago a flood occurred south of Pueblo, which caused all traffic on the Denver & Rio Grande to be suspended for more than six weeks, The conditions were much the same that now ex- ist. There had been heavy snows in the mountains and the spring opened with a heavy, warm rain. This melted the snow very rapidiy, the amount of water was greater than could be carried off through the regular channels, and about 1 o’clock one April afternoon broke out from a canyon, and come across the plains in a wall six feet high, and at least two miles long. Everyone- who saw it coming made for the bluffs, but some were overwhelmed, as the valley through which it ran was narrow, and the speed great. Once in the water, the strongest swimmer was helpless, as the water was laden and impregnated with fine sand, which rendered swimming impossible, and dragged everything living that it struck to the bottom. Thousands of cattle and sheep, and hundreds of horses were lost, and the damage inflicted on the ranchmen amounted to sev- eral hundred thousand dollars. THE GREATEST SUFFERERS. But the railroad was the greatest sufferer,’’ continued Mr. Hernshaw, ‘‘and I never be- lieved that water alone could cause such de- struction. Rails were torn from the ties, and either broken in twoor bent double. Whole sections of the track, rails and ties together, were carried from a quarter to half a mile by the flood, and every culvert was swept away as it built of reeds instead of stone. What greatly increased the destruction was the existence of a transverse valley at the inter- section of the railroad wit the path taken by the flood. Down this valley through which the railroad ran, a section of the flood rushed at tremendous speed, tear- ing up the roadbed, ripping the rails from the ties and carrying away ev hingin the shape of a house that crossed its path. A large water tank, resting on strong columns and standing seventy feet above the track, wae own and carried ten miles the place where it had been erected. I went over the road shortly after the flood, and the bed looked as if it had been torn to pieces by dynamite. The flood lasted for less than three hours, the waters dispersing as soon as they struck a broad, level plain, but not a train ran over the Denver & Rio Grande for more than six weeks, although a large force was at once ut to work to repair ith such an example destructive possibilities of a flood, and with the conditions as favorable to a recurrence of such a calamity as they now are. We who have interests in the track that may be taken are very anxioug, and shall not feels until the snow has entirely disappeared. RAPID RISES. The rapid rise of streams in the mountains and on the plains,’’ Mr. Hernshaw went on to say, ii peculiar to that section of the country, and is, as far as I know, unexampled in any other partofthe world. The country west of Kansas is very dry, but sub- ject to occasional violent rainstorms. Allstreams drain an acreage which would furnish water for at least a dozen water courses in the East, and when astorm occurs anywhere within this district, the entire body of water is thrown into a single channel, in- stead of being divided among many. The rains are characterized by their extreme sud- denness, and an immense body of water runs into the streams in a very shurttime. The consequnce is that a creek that at 1 o’clock mav beten feet wide, by 2 0’clock — de half a mile from bank to bank, and by nightfall may be nearly empty. The water comes down in a solid body flooding everything, and runs off as rapidly as it ap- a Menand cattle are in little danger, ut sheep are drowned by the thousand, and dozens of houses wept off. There seems to be no practicable way of guarding against this danger, as no one is willing to build a house half a mile from a stream simply to avoid the danger of a flood which may never come, and no house can stand the shock of the water when it does come. Ags yet the aggregate amount of damage inflicted has not been large, but the country is settling up very fast, and every flood will be more disastrous than its predecessor, because there will be more prop- erty in ite track.’’ EVERYBODY who uses Flap Jack Prepared Flour for muffins, will use no other.
