Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. PARIS, April 5.—The Parisian crisis halts now for a moment until the Opportunists make up their minds whether to grapple with Premier Floquet at once or wait on circum- stances. Their hesitation is largely due to doubt how prompt action on their part would affect Gen. Boulanger. It is taken for granted that he will have a big majority in the Depart- ment of the Nord on Sunday week in any event. If the Opportunists attack the new Ministry nowand force it to make common cause with him, he will have a stiil bigger majority. If they wait, his election may so swell his popularity that he will overshadow both Premier Floquet and the Opportunists. Until this dilemma is cleared up it is ‘hopeless to predict whether M. Floquet will last two days, two weeks, or two morths. THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Paris, April 5.—M. de Freycinet, Minister of Warinthe new cabinet, will allow the War Department to retain an exclusive military character and will refer to a special secretary- ship all civil and parlimentary questions. | THE CABINET DISTROUSTED. All the Paris journals say that yesterday’s voting in the Senate and Chamber of Deputies on the motions to adjourn indicates that the Cabinet is distrusted. La Justice says that a coalition confronts the cabinet, but it can afford to await the first attack, since the entire Republican party is on its side. BOULANGER’S CANDIDACY. Gen. Boulanger will make no reply to the questions put.to him by the Radical Congress, but will probably issue another circular to the electors of the Department ofthe Nord. The Nord Opportunist Committee will support M. Foucard as a candidate for the Chamber of Deputies in opposition to Gen. Boulanger. CHAMBER ELECTION. The result of the election for President of the Chamber of Deputies yesterday, and the voting on the question of adjournment for the Easter recess, were severe blows to Floquet’s Ministry. The home reactionary deputies reconsidered their intention to vote for Clemenceau for the Presidency. One royalist, De Larochette, actually went up to vote Clemenceau, but the Duke of La Roche- Foucauld dissuaded him. Brisson is too obnoxious to the Bonapartists to be acceptable to all the opponents of the Ministry, hence M. Meline, as a Repub- lican of decidedly Conservative tendencies, was selected as a compromise. The contest was so close that when the roll of the drum was heard inthe lobby announcing the election of the President, the friends of both candi- dates thought their own man was being es- corted with military honors. M. Meline is well-known as an opponent of Com. munists, and voted against the plenary am- nesty. As Minister of Agriculture he founded the decoration called Order du Merite Agricole, which is looked upon with scant respect since nicknamed by the wits Order de la Carotte.’’ Had Clemenceau been four years older, he would have been elected, Meline being chosen only on account of seniority, according to the rule in case of a tie. The discomfiture of the friends of the Government, although not technically the Government itself, was more severe on the question. of adjournment. The tactics of the Chamber are well understood. The opposition wished to have an opportunity of turning out the Gov- ernment before the approaching municipal elections, in order that the Government might not be able to use their influence in managing them. The Chamber insisted on meeting, not as the friends of the Floquet Ministry asked, on May 6, but on April 19. The conten- tion was made that the Deputies paid to do the work of the nation should not shirk, but probably no speaker was sincere in this argu- ment excepting the old revolutionist, Felix Pyatt who for once in his life supported re- actionaries. PRESS ATTACKS. The attacks on the Government in the press continue with unabated vigor. Le Siecle, which is supposed to represent the views of President Carnot, says that Floquet’s ap- pointments are simply detestable. Tüis means that Floquet has chosen a thoroughly Radical Cabinet, which should occasion no surprise, ashe has never concealed the fact that he is in favor of the abolition of the Sen- ate, separation of the Church and State, the income tax and the right of Paris to absolute municipal government. ANOTHER WAR SCARE, Startling Rumors of Coming Trouble in the East. gpecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, April5.—Iam given to understand that some highly important dis reached the Foreign Office last night which are regarded as again completely unsettilng the condition of Eastern Europe. Their pur- port, of course, is unknown to me, but Ido know that they have had the effect of creating in the minds of the Foreign Office people the belief that war is close at hand. Evidently something big is happening underneatp the surface of diplomacy which ig ex- sponsibility of the Russian Legation there for the whole disturbance has been made clear by the police, and proofis now said to have been obtained that all five opposition papers in Bucharest, whose violent and scurrilous attacks upon King Charles and Premier Bratiano stirred up the riots, have been all along in direct Russian pay. THE CENTER OF INTEREST. But it is more probable that Sofia is again to be the chiefscene of interest. The death of the old Kaiser has made one curious differ- ence in the whole mechanism of the Eastern question, by leaving the coast clear for the re- turn in triumph of the Battenbergs to Berlin. The old martinet was so enraged at the Queen of England formarrying her daughter to one of these princes who, from a strict royal point of view, are not born to the purple, that he refused to recognize or tolerate any of them near him. Even Prince Alexander of Bulgaria fell under this ban, and it was more than anything else the conscious- ness that he was out of favor at Berlin which prompted him to make submission to Russia and get out of sight. There was also a per- sonal reason forthe old Kaiser’s wrath, be- cause Alexander in his elation over his brother Henry’s wonderful English marriage was incautious enough to disclose e fact that he himself aspired to the hand of Victo- ria, the second daughter of the then Crown Prince. This in itself would have been enough to settle the Battenbergs so far as the late Emperor went. PRINCE ALEXANDER. How vastly things are changed may be gathered by the fact that a suite of apart- ments in the Palace at Charlottenburg are now being fitted up for the use of Prince Alexander, who is expected on a visit to the Kaiser the first of next week, and who will be received with all the distinctions of an honored guest. Out of this naturally springs the rumor that his suit for the Princess Victoria’s hand will now be revived with the consent of the Kaiser Frederick and the Empress Victoria. What truth there isin this, it is, of coure, impos- sible to surmise, but the episode will afford a good deal of interesting speculation. The Empress Victoria is believed to share toa degree her mother’s interest In the Batten- bergs. Morever, Queen Victoria is going to Berlin a fortnight hence,and will be there dur- ing the stay of Prince Alexander. It need scarcely be pointed out that thisin itself will be a direct slap in the face to the Czar who has moodily insisted all along in puttiug Prince Alexander under the ban. Nor is it strange thatthe incident gives rise to the theory that things are getting ripe for the restoration of Prince Alexander to the Bulgarian throne. It is certain that his friends here, who are in the way of knowing pretty well what is going on, tell methat they expect to see him back again ina few months. THE WAR SCARE. This can mean only one of two things. Either the Bulgarians will upset Prince Fer- dinand and summon Prince Alexander back, declare him King and thus precipitate war with Russia, or Russia is on the point of tak- ing a step which will force the Bulgarians into resistance, when Prince Alexander will offer his sword to the Principality and return as Prince, Austria, Germany and England, in the meantime, inducing Prince Ferdinand to come off. Either alternative involves war, and the impression in the best-informed cireles here is that war is coming in a month or two. This impression may easily turn out as baseless as others which have so long kept Europe ina turmoil of apprehension. But it is certainly just now seriously entertained. -_ DR. PARKER, The Sensational London Preacher, Appears in a New Role. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON April 5.—Dr. Parker, the sensational preacher who was so bitterly disappointed not to be chosen to succeed the late Henry Ward Beecher in Brooklyn, ap- pears in a new character to-day, as the supporter of a proposal to present a testi- monial to Jacob Holyoake, the veteran secu- larist. He sends £5 as a sign of his good feel- ing toward the man as one t eminent abjlity and genuine cour- age. Dr. Parker evidently thinks public Interest in his sensational services at City Temple wants stimulating. Not long since fac-similes of his signature appeared on every board tn London recommending quack medicines. England. BALFOUR’S IRISH LAND COURT BILL. Loxpon, April 5.—Mr. Balfour’s bill to ex- pedite business in the Irish land courts is pub- lished. It extends the existence of the land commission another seven years, deprives tenants of the option of applying for a reduc- tion of rent, etc., to either a county court or the land commission, and of the right to transfer proceedings from acounty court to the land commission. The bill also empow- ers the land commission, with the consent of the Lord Chancellor, to distribute at will cases between the commission and the county court, and also on application and for good cause, to transfer cases from the Com- mission to the court, or vice versa.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba, April 5.—Premier Greenway and Attorney-General Martin ar- rived in the city lastnight. They were met by 5,000 people at the station and escorted up Main street, which was illuminated by bon- fires. They both spoke briefly, stating that at least three railways intended entering the Province and entering into active competi- tion with the Canadian Pacific Railway. They stated that they had written assurances from Sir John McDonald that there would be no more disallowance of Northwest railway charters. They also stated that the Red River Road connecting with the Northern Pacific would be running into Winnipeg by July 1. A FAILURE, The Yerkes-Philadeiphia Syndicate Cable Road in Chicago. CuicaGo, Ill, April 5.—Although the new cable car system of the Yerkes—Philadelphia syndicate on the North Side has baen in opera- tion two weeks, the syndicate, according to the Daily News, is still having no end of trouble, and, so far as rapid transit is concerned, the project isa failure. Very few cable cars comparatively are being run, and horse cars being retained on the tracks increased speed, even if the road is — ofit, is impossible. The latest cause of dissatisfaction is the attempt of the company to exact an extra nickelfrom each passenger riding on the down- town loop, a few blocks of track in the neighborhood of the Board of Trade. F. Mahan, a prominent citizen, last night re- fused to submit to the loop swindie. When the conductor demanded 10 cents fare Mahan, who is quite aged, declined to pay. He was dragged out ofthe car by the conductor and — off the platform. This morning Mr. ahan announces that he will bring suit against the syndicate for $25,000. The affair is causing much comment unfavorable to the Philadelphians. BREAKING STREET LAMPS. A Young Man Who Came asa Witness Held as a Culprit. There were nineteen gasoline lamps broken on the Gravois road some time ago, and Jo- seph Cikak was arrested in connection with the offense. His case was docketed for trial before Judge Noonan to-day, tbe charge being malicious destruction of property. Another young man named Joseph Stolle called at the Four Courts about 9:30 this morning to teoestitfy in Cikak’s behalf. While seated in the court- room waiting for the proceedings ot the day to commence Stolie was Me go by three of the witnesses against Cikak as another of the —— who broke the lamps. He was arrested ut gave bond immediately and was released. Both Cikak and Stolle have numerous friends who scoff the ideathat either bad anything to do with breaking the lamps. SAFE IN JAIL.

MOSLEM MISSIONS. — ———ů— — ISLAMISM NOT ANTICIPATING CHRISTIAN- ITY IN AFRICA. ‘ An Arabic Scholar Refutes Certain Charges — Mohammedanism Not Fit to Pioneer the Civilizing of the Interior Tribes— Story of a Bible and How It Traveled— Apparent Vitality of Islamism a Sham and Built on the Sultane Misappropria- tien of Funds—Local Missionary Meet- ings. . * Rev. Dr. George E. Post, during his stay in this city, spent a good deal of time in refuting the statements re- garding the Mohammedan ascendancy in Africa. Dr. Post has been for years one of the leading figuresin that great army of Christian workers who have invaded Asia Minor, and are propagating the prin- ciples of Christianty. He is connected with the Presbyterian Publication House at Beyrout, Syria, and with the college in that city. Dr. Post is a fine scholar in Arabic, the classical language of Mohammedanism. Oonsequently he claims to know what he is talking about when he speaks on the progress of Islamism. He has been so many years in the Orient that he is thoroughly acquainted with all the phases of Mohammedan life. EFFECT OF MOSLEMISM. „The principal charge relating to Christ- fan missionary work in the East, said Dr. Post on this subject, is that Mohammedanism is the religion for the barbarian tribes of Afvica in their present condition. It is asserted that Christian people should stand back and let ‘Islamism raise the tribes to the level of Mohammedan- ism, and then the Christian missionaries would follow and make their work more effect- ive. It is declared that Moslemism is better fitted to reach these barbarians than is Christianity. This is not so. Wherever Mos- lemism has touched the great civilizations of the pastit has Gastrores them. Where are the remains of the civilization that once flour- ished on the southern side of the Mediterra- nean? All gone down under the sweep of Islamism. Probably Mobhamedanism hasa good effect in promoting temperance and virtues like that, but its utter disregard for chastity scarcely raises the condition of women. A STRANGE BQOK. „How about the charge that all of Central Africa is being won over to Mohammedan- lem?“ There is no foundation for it. Whatever nations own the Mohammedan religion were compelled to by the sword of conquest. Some time ago a native came down from the interior of Africa, reaching the At- lantic coast atthe mouth of the Senegambia Kiver. He had in his hand an Arabic book. Ile said he got hold of it away up in the in- terlor, and he wanted to know where he could get more books like it. The presence of an Arabic book among the interior tribes was at once taken as an evi dence that the Mohammedans were pros- elyting them. Well, the book went to London and thence was sent to our house in Beyrout, where we found that the book was one of the Arabic translations of the Bible which had left our press. In a short time a package of books were senttothe na- tive and I propose they are now in the inter- jor of Africa, and may, for aught I know, appear again to show the world that Mosiemism is converting Africa. The first fact that the book was found and the impression it gave birth to were heralded abroad and have traveled everwhere and industriously circulated in certain scientific, philosopical and advanced religi- ous circles. Thereal meaning of the pres- sence of the Arabic book in the interior has not received the prominence the “first statement received and consequently the mis- apprehension is still widespread that the Christians are lagging in the rear of the Cres- cent.’’ VITALITY OF ISLAMISM. The fact is, though, that Islamism shows a surprising vitality, does it not?’’ That is a mistake that grows out of the superficial observations of travelers who go to Constantinople. They see on every hand new mosques and other Moslem buildings and they say: ‘Why, this religion must be vigorous to produce such une stiuctures. Can a religion that does this be dying?’ The fact is that this apparent improvement means nothing, but that the Sultan robbed the coun- try to advance the city of Constantinople. When France and England paid the b5ul- tan $300 ,000 , 000 for his share in the Orimean war the understanding was the vast sum should be spent in the inter- nal improvements, in opening railroads and other roads and establishing the civil order. Instead of that the Sultan quietly spent all of the money on the city of Constantinople. 86 what appears to be a sign of great vitality was made by Christian money.’’ f Congregational Meetings.

The President Saves a Lady Mounted on a Runaway Steed. By Telegraph to the Posr-Durarcen. Wasuinoton, D. O., April 5.—Mrs. Marie Wright, a well-known correspondent of this city, enjoys the distinction of having been saved from a violent death, or at least @ grave injury, by President Oleveland’s heroism. While out riding with a friend near Oakview, the President’s country place, Tuesday morn- ing her horse became unmanageable. Taking the bit in his teeth he dashed up the road to- wards ‘‘Red Top,’’ making every effort to un- seat his rider.” Mrs. Wright’s strenath was fast deserting her, and a serious accident was imminent, when from the little lane leaaing in- to Woodly Lane road from the Tenaleytown road were seen emerging the President and his Minister of Finance, Secretary Fairchild, on horseback. Taking in the situation at a lance, the Chief Executive put spurs to his orse and, like a knight ot old, galloped to the rescue ot the fair one in distress. ith a short and perilous stop he drew up in front of the now frantic beast upon which Mrs, Wright was struggling. This action seemed to — maddenthe horse, and he pitched and reare alarmingly. Dismounting, with a_ hurried caution to the lady to keep cool, the President asped the horse by the mane and Bridie, and a desperate encounter ensued which left the succession to the first office in the land for a moment in great doubt. Cleveland luck and Cleveland pluck prevailed, however, and by degrees the man 7 the mastery. By this time Secretary Fairchild and Mrs. Gilmore had come up from opposite directions, the former hastily dismounting to assist hiechief. As Mrs. Wright was evidently worn out, the President surrendered the bridle to the Secretary and assisted the now thor- oughly exhausted lady to alight. With great fortitude she refrained from exercising her womanly prerogative of r though the temptation was great, as she laughingly asserted last night. With courtly grace Mr. Cleveland inquired her pleasure, asking if she desired a less pre- carious conveyance back tothe city, placing his stable and himself at her disposal. With the gritof her birthland, however, she an- nounced her determination to conquer the beast and ride back to town as she bad ridden forth, the rider of her own horse. Touchin his hat politely, the President remounted an rode off as coolly as though he were in the habit of saving lives every day, and had really done nothing unusual. Bankrupt Furniture Sale.

Ferovus FALwts, Minn., April 5.—Albert Dodge told his wife Tuesday night that they ought to go to heaven at once. She ran out of the house and meta neighbor named Jenne. Dodge went into the yard and coaxed them both tocomein. He then locked the doors and put down the curtains and began talking religion. Meantime word had been senttothe police station and three policemen arrived. They tried every ruse to have Dodge open the door, but he refused, and as he had the keys in his pocket, his wife and Jenne were powerless. On his table was a double- barreled shotgun, loaded and cocked, with cartridges and ammunition lying around and in his pocketa revolver and a huge knife. Matters remained in this shape until last night, when the police broke in a window and entered. Dodgeran into another room and raised his revolver to kill his wife. She grasped his wrist and turned it as he fired and the bullet entered his own brain. Dodge had —.— brooding over religious matters for some time.

St. Paun, Minn., April 5.—A local paper publishes interviews with about two hundred prominent Republicans of Minnesota regarding the workings of high license in this State, where the law has been in effect for about eight months. It is agreed that the law has worked well in all the cities and that the effect has been good, not onlyin the sense of in- creased revenue, but in lessening the number of saloons and in bettering the character of those thatare in operation under the law. With one single exception the * show that the sentimeut is favorable to the retention of the law, andin nearly every case the statement is made that the people would not consent to a return to the old order of things. In Carver County alone, where there are a great many Germans, the law has been disregarded, but the sentiment there has always been strongly opposed to any restriction of the traffic. Glanders Reported. I. G.

Progress of the Damage Suit Against the Adams Express Company for False Im- prisonment—The “Jim Cammings” Let- ters—The Messenger’s Story—A Dramatic Incident—Dlustrating the Narrative — Rigid Cross-Examination. The first witness called this morning in the trial ot theeult of David 8. Fotheringham vs. the Adams Express Company, W. H. Damsel and Robert A. Pinkerton for $60,000 damages was John d. Martin, city editor of the Globe - Democrat. John D. Johnson of counsel for the plaintiff showed him the first Jim Cum- mings letter. Mr. Martin eaid he had first seen the letter about a week prior to the Indictment of Fotheringbam. The letter was given to him by J. B. McOullagh. It was enclosed ina yellow envelope and bore five canceled stamps but no postmark. There were enclosed a numder of express money wrappers. ‘*What did ou do with that letter when you received it?’’ „Took it tothe Southern and showed it to Mr. Pinkerton to see ifthe papers and letters were of any value in his estimation. Mr. Damsel, Mr. Zimmerman and a number of Pinkerton’s employes were in the room.“ Did you take the letter away with you”’’ „Mr. Pinkerton went with me to see Mr. McCullagh. I had orders not to let the letter go out of my hands. After the conference be- tween Mr. Pinkerton and Mr. McCullagh it was decided that where the letter went I was to go.“ ‘*Did you retain possession of the letter?“ „After a few days we made arrangements under whieh the letter was given to Robert Pinkerton. It was to be returned to us when he was through with it.’’ Was it returned to you?’’ „„This is the first I bave seen of it since.’’ „When was the letter published in the Globe- Democratf’’ On November 9.“ „Were you sick at any time about the 9th?’’ „J was sick the 8th and 9th.’’ Did you have any callers on either of those days?’’ Mr. Damsel called onthe sth. He wanted the wrappers which had been inclosed in the letter. He wanted me to go before the Grand- jury, but I was not able to leave my bed.“ When was the letter returned to the Globe- Democrat f/ On the night of the sth.“ „Why did the Globe- Democrat refrain fora whole week from publishing the letter?’’ ‘‘We wanted to benefit ourselves. We wanted to get anything that might develop from the work of the detectives.’ ‘*Did you learn anything about their work?“ ‘*They did not tell anything about it except that they had a valuable find near St. Charles. They said they had not been able to find the box at the Union Depot.“ On cross-examination Mr. Martin was asked by Henry D. Laughlin of counsel for the de- fendants if the box was not subsequently found and a list of its contents was not after- wards printed in the Globe-Democrat. Mr. Martin said: ‘‘I learned afterward that the box was in the possession of the detectives when they told me it was not.’’ FRANK K. O’ NEILL, late managing editor of the Republican, was next called. He was shown the Jim Cummings letter which the Republican received. He first saw the letter November 11. „„Was it published?’’ It was, on the succeeding day.“ „What did you do with the original manu- script?’’ ‘*I gavo it to Damsel and Pinkerton the day after its publication.’’ The plaintiff DAVID S.

There was nothing dramatic about the narrative. Fotheringham is nota good story teller, though he was thoroughly up on the details—however minute—of his great experience. He told ofthe robbery of the safe and bis own position at the time; the long * ot the train at Minke, during which time he was constantly engaged in looking down the barrel of a revolver, and the departure of the rebber at Marshall crossing. He told of ‘his return to St. Louis, the report he made to Supt. Damsel and the various statements ho was called upon to make. He told of the interview he had with a Post- DISPATCH reporter, and said that the detectives cautioned him when he approached the offer of the robber to give bim $10,000 if he would furnish an incorrect description of him.Other facts he was signaled by a detective to withhold. Then he carried on the narrative to his confinement atthe Southern Hotel by Robert A. Pinkerton, the innumerable interviews he had with Pinker- ton, the latter’s experiments with gags, and ropes. Afterthat it was quick work to get past the arrest, his confinement in jail and subsequent facts. Fotheringham was subjected to a rigid cross- examination, which occupied the entire after- noon session of the court. SOCIETY CHAT. Items of Interest Collected in Local Social Circles To- Day.

The only suggestions they had to offer were that a few changes be made in the water pipes on the stages, advising that —— be extended under the stage and run up higher among the flies. At the Standard they suggested that the family circle be provided with an exit which will connect with the gal- lery stairs instead of using only the winding staircase, as is now done.

The conductor admitted he had only delayed the car a half minute, and this he could not help. The driver abused him by using all sorts of vile language and then had him arreated. Judge Cady discharged Stringer, remarking that he should have had the driver arrested. Piatt County’s Coal Mines. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispratcnr.

Gilroy, Their Advance Agent, Ar- rives This Morning—He Talks About the Organization — Croker’s Leadership — Tammany Will Support Cleveland. Thos. F. Gilroy, Secretary of Tammany, or as it is officially known the Tammany Demo- cratic Republican Committee of the City and County of New York, arrived in the city this morning from New York. He comes forthe purpose of se- curing quarters for Tammany’s respresenta- tives, who will be here in force during the week of the National Democratic Convention, and immediately repaired to the Southern on his arrival, where he spent the morning with Manager Lewis, looking at the available rooms for the reception of his aszociates. There will be 750 Tammany men in all in St. Louls during the first week of June, and but 250 of these can find accommodation at the Southern. The re- maining 500 will be distributed throughout the various hotels, wherever suitable quarters can be obtained, and it is in the interest of these that Mr. Gilroy is now busily engaged. The delegation will leave New York City on the afternoon of Saturday, June 2, arriving in St. Louis on Mon- day. Special trains of twenty-seven cars in all will be required for the trip, or nine cars of three sections. That nothing may be wanting to make the visit of the dis- tinguished politicians complete, two local bands have already been secured, so that the advent of the organization promises to be most imposing. TAMMANY is probably the largest, most powerful and best organized Democratic association in the country and has gained rather than lost in in- fluence since the demise of its famous leader, John Kelly. It demonstrated this in the elec- tions of 1885, about one af- ter Kelly’s iliness had forced relinguish the reins of government, and 2 short time after the Tammany chieftain had passed away: It was the time of the big fight over the election of a Sheriff, County Clerk and Judge of Common Pleas. The Tammany braves found their overtures repudiated by the other Democrats and went into the contest single handed and alone, but its candidates were elected by majorities of from 10,000 to 20,000, and the re- sult was a great triumph for the organization. It also succeeded in electing District-Attorney Fellows despite the combined opposition of Democrats and Republicans, and this was an- other feather in its cap. »The membership and organization of Tam- many are peculiar,’’ said Mr. Gilroy to a POsT-DISPATCH reporter this morning. ‘‘Itis now made up of four distinct committees, namely, an Executive Committee, numbering twenty-six; a Committee on Organization of 500 ; a General Committee of 2,000, and a district committee of 15,000. Since the death of Mr. Kelly the organization has undergone a radical change in being no longer controlled by one man’s power, but in labor- ing for the general good of the De- mocraoy st large. Richard Croker, Mr. Kelly’s successor is the leader insofar as his ability and energy bring him the support and sympa- thy of the organization. he power of the body now centers in the Executive Commit- tee, which is recruited from the eighteen as- sembly districts of New York. MR. CROKER is merely a member of this, Hugh Grant be- ing Chairman, and though his recommenda- tions and wishes are invariably complied with, because of his leadership and the true sense and his official stand- ing, whichis but one of many. Thus you will see that a great many changes have been wrought, andfor the better, but meanwhile the organization is growing in strength,and no longer meets with the bitter attacks that were formerly hurled at it by the press. The Tammany Society is also an im- ortant feature of the organization, ub its functions are purely be- nevolent and charitable. It owns Tammany Hall, its officers are made up of a Grand Sachem, a Secretar and thirteen Sachems, and its members, from all political parties, number some of the most prominent men in the country. ‘*Will Cleveland receive the support of Tam- many when nominated by the Democrats?’’ Mr. Gilroy echoed a question. ‘‘Yes, there can be no doubt of that. The organization has not declared itself formally to that effect, but I know enough of its convictions to enable me to say that Cleveland will receive its hearty sup- ort. Andthis meansa 1 eat deal in a pivotal U York, where the me- the balance of power. remember that it was the Democratic majority of 47,000 in New York City that a mt we Cleveland’s defeat at the last Presidential election, and there is no reason why the full majority of 65,000 should not be polled in the city this year, Tammany being no longer lukewarm.’’ IN THE CRIMINAL COURT. Cases Which Were Dispesed Of by Judge Normile To-Day. James MecPhillips, who says his true name is James Madden, and Thomas Burke, who says his true name is Thomas McGuire, each pleaded guilty in the Criminal Court to-day to grand larceny and were sentenced to two years and six months each in the pen- itentiary. There were two indictments for burglary and larceny against them and they pleaded in one only, the other being con- tinued generally. One charge was breaking into Louis Siegmund’s dwelliug and stealing $25 worth of diye’ and the other burglariz- ing the residence o Louis Vestal and stealing $20 worth of jewelry.

THE DUST INTERFERES WITH THE Man- KET, AS WITH OTHER LINES. Sales and Transactions Recorded To-Day and Prices Obtained—The Reform at the Real Estate Exchange—Items of Interest to Dealers and Sellers. The real ostate market was quiet to-day in the matter of sales, but the dirt was actively flying through the air, much to the disgust of agents and land operators generally. In this connection it may also be stated that the sod fiends have started out on their annual spring stealing expeditions and have already robbed many a lot of its early vernal coat in the vicinity of Forest Park. Consequently, the cry has gone up, ‘‘Where are the police?’’ REFORM MEASURES AND SMOKE. The reform smoke that has been inaugurated to lift the Real Estate Exchange out of its slough of despond was indulged in at noon to- day by a dozen or more agents. Leon L. Hull, the President, says the move- ment to reform that institution is going to succeed. The members are going to have the lot at the rear of the hall dug out in the form of a _ circular basin where handsome row-boats will be placed for the agents to cavort in during the summer season. This will obviate the loss of time for a trip to the seashore. Twinin gravel walks are also to be la around the real estate fountain and it is to be beautified with rare plants and blooming flowers. Sundays this retreat is to be converted into a Mission Sunday-school place, and all the agents are to help in that good cause. Further details were to have been arranged for ata meeting of the Board announced to take place at 5 o’clock this afternoon. The following notice has been issued: The Board of Directors — solicited from members an expression of their opinion in writing or verbally with referenceto what they may deem necessary to madethe Ex- change a beautiful and beneficial institution.

To those ac- quainted with the history of metal workers it is known that this system was much practised by Cellini, who cast a number of large statues by the process, and among them that of the Medusa, about the middle of the sixteenth ee Since then the art has died out so far as Europe is concerned, but attempts have been made to revive it in France, while Mr. Gilbert, a member of the Royal Academy, has also made several experiments. t FromegMessrs. J. W. Singer & Sons, art metal workers, have now succeeded in establishing the system as an industry, having got over the difficulty of air bubbles which has hitherto been thought insurmountable. The object to be cast is moulded in wax, and the wax model is then covered witha matrix of sand; the mould when set is placed in a hot oven, this malting the wax very gently and allowing it to run outof the mould. When this has been done the metal is poured in carefully and the work is completed. The result is that not only are there no joints in the casting, inseparable from the use of patterns, but mot possibly be cast by any oth a not poss 0 any other process. In China and Japan the system has long been in vogue. Labor is cheap in those countries, however, and even though only one picee is successfully cast out of a number the makers are satisfied. This would be a fatal difficulty in a country likeiour own, but after, many trials Messrs. Singer have hit upon a very sim- ple arrangement by which the dan- er of air holes can be reduced toa minimum. ey have now succeeded in 1 a numder of works of art, chi vases table lamps, finger 4 door bts, an fact that the m roductions, the mere fact that lost art of liint has been made a modern — 2 it historic interest an rtance.

TuEeDemocratic Central Committee has a grievance against the Democratic mem- bersofthe Municipal Assembly for the foolish attempt to bulldoze Recorder WILLIAMS. _ S —- Tuer damage done to the stocks of the retail merchants and to the clothing, fur- niture and effectsof the citizens generally in a week amounts to more than the cost of sprinkling for a year. ———, n THE fundamental idea of the Henry George party is that the number of its ‘‘wings’’ must increase as the number of its members decreases. In other words, what it lacks in body it makes up in wings. — —_— — In spite of Eastern blizzards and West- ern strikes, the present year is belying the prophecies about presidential years being bad for business. The advertising columns of the Post-Dispatcnu daily bear eloquent testimony to this effect. — Tux dust of St. Louis, which to-day 16 a thing of the present, will soon be a thing of the past. St. Louis will then have two more improvements to make in order to complete its happiness. It will have to furnish its people with clear water and get rid of the smoke nuisance. - Oo? — „Od this (tariff) question the Repub- lican party is virtually united,“ says the Globe-Democrat.

Nor would the spectacle of any boodler and briber hanging by a rope. — Mr. CLEVELAND will have a glittering opportunity to show his backbone and his constitutional soruples if the high-tariff men catch epough low-tariff votes with the bribe of $17,500,000 to pass the bill for paying back that amount of direct taxes. The virtue that can resist the tender of such a grab in the presence ot᷑ such a huge surplus in the Treasury‘is very rare in Congressmen. — - al — 1 1 Ix place of Piump’s Treasury- note amendment to the bond redemption bill the Senate has adopted by u vote of gr to 38Mr. Becx’s amendment providing for ‘the coinage of silver in excess of the : ¥ - Mit from time to time to take the ot national bantcnotes*rotires. ~ScwrEny — - SPooNER, SHERMAN] and FARWELL were the only Senators from West of the Alleghenies who voted against the amendment, but Parner of Ohio was In deciding in the Bowman case that Jow#could not prohibit the importation ot liquor from another State the Supreme Court said that the question whether the State could prohibit the importer or con- signee from selling the imported liquors in the original packages did not arise in that case. But in reaching its conclusion the decision refers to a former one (Brown vs. Maryland, 12 Wheat.), in which the right to sell liquor imported from foreign countries in spite of State law had been affirmed by the Supreme Court as inseparable from the right to import. The express statement of Chief Justice MaRsSHALL in that former decision, that theconclusion would be the same as to both interstate commerce and foreign commerce, is also cited inthe Bowman decision. The three dissenting Justices, WaITr, Gray and HARLAN, therefore coupled the two decisions together and based their dissent on the ground that the right to import in spite of State law, as afirmed by the court, would, if that right carried with it the right to sell in original packages in spite of State law, render nugatory the State’s conceded right to prohibit the liquor traffic within its own borders. Nevertheless, so stands the later de- cision affirming the interstate right to import in spite of State law, and back of that stands the former decision affirming this same right as to foreign commerce, and declaring that this right includes the right to sell in original packages in spite of State law. Thus, after unanimously affirming the State’s authority to prohibit the manu- facture or sale of liquors, the Supreme Court limits the State’s police power in this respect to strictly internal manu- facture and traffic. Itcan prohibit dis- tilling and brewing for consumption with- in the State and thus keep out of con- sumption all but imported liquors. It can outlaw all liquor selling except in original imported packages by the im- porters. It can deprive itself and its municipalities of allrevenue andits peo- ple ofall profit from home liquor pro- duction or traffic in home-made liquors, but cannot keep its people from enrich- ing outside producers by drinking all they feel able to buy from importers of half- pint flasks and other ‘‘original pack- ages.“ If the Constitution, in excluding State authority from all interference with inter- state commerce or the regulation thereof, goes this far, does it not evidently, and for preolsely the same constitutional pur- pose, forbid a State to outlaw the pro- duction and sale of liquor for export? If the freedom of interstate commerce from theimpediment of State regulation re- quires that a State’s police power over the health and morals of its own people shall not extend to the obstruction or prohibi- tion of interstate traffic in liquors, the same requirement applies as obviously to exports as to imports. If a State’s police authority cannot obstruct interstate com- merce to protect its own citizens, it cer- tainly cannot do so to protect outsiders not subject to its authority nor under its protection. This later decision rests on former ones of such long standing and high authority that there is no prospect of a reversal of any one of them in our day and genera- tion. Nor will anything but the triumph of national prohibition impressed on Con- gressional legislation curtail the force and effect of these decisions. As they stand they leave State prohibition of the liquor traffic powerless and prostrate. KANSAS CITY elects the Republican nom- inee for Mayor by a plurality of 1,613, the Democratic nominee for Treasurer by a plurality of 2,523 and the Independent candidate for Recorder by a plurality of 6,076 over the Republican nominee, a plu- rality of 4,856 over the Democratic nom- inee anda majority of 2,944 over both. Party lines either disappeared or were so tangled up that the independent Star alone crows over the election of the Re- publican candidate for Mayor, while the Republican organ crows for the independ- ent Recorder only. Mayor Kumpr and Recorder DAVENPORT, both Republicans, had a big row over police affairs. The Republican Convention stood by Kumpr and repudiated DaveNPORT, who bolted and ran independent. Then Kansas City rebuked DAVENPORT by again running KuUMPF in far ahead of his ticket, and re- — Anm —— buked Kumpr by running Davenport in for a second term ahead of him. Such are the cyclonio whirls of Kansas City pol- itics. — —_— THE announcement in yesterday’s Post- Disratcu of the intended removal of an- other large Fourth street firm to Broad- way, and the previous announcement of the purchase for banking purposes of the corner of Fourth and Washington avenue, were merely illustrations of the regularity with which the Post-Dispatcnu antici- pates the morning papers in the publica- tion of real estate news. Having a larger city circulation than any other newspa- per, the Post-Dispatca is naturally the organ of the real estate interests of St. Louis, and this fact is especially empha- sized in the real estate advertising in our Sunday edition. — O— Tue refusal of the Chicago railroad em- to extend the attempted boycott the railroads handling Burlington freightis perhaps the bravest and most | sensible resolution taken by any large | men, body of American workmen during a strike. It takes a great deal of moral courage to abandon a false position, especially under such circumstances as those under notice, and the fact that American workmenare capable of such therelations of capital and labor. „ Lost in the Shuffle. From the Chicago Tribune. concern the public and particularly the State ot New York are: 1. That Mr. Gould aid the shuffling in effecting the Kansas Pacific con- solidation in 1880. 2. That something like .- 000,000 of Denver Pacific stock held in trust by Gould and Sage to secure certain bondholders was converted into Union Pacific stock, which was then used to purchase certain branch lines owned by the little magician, with the result that the Denver capital, so called, finally disappeared up Mr. Gouid’s sleeve. 8. That the Denver stock was not sold nor given to Mr. Gould by the bondholders for whom it was held in trust, nor did they consent to its transfer or manipulation. 4. Thet the said bondholders never knew what became of their trust security until the recent Government in- vestigation brought the trutn to the light and showed that it was lost in the shuffle,’’ and eventually became the private property of the person who had been holding it as a trustee. Pot and Kettle. From the New York WORLD. The disagreement between the two distin- guished cable rivals, Jay Gould and J. G. Bennett, has reached the point where the question of social status becomes protuberant. All these controversies gravitate in that direc- tion. In this instance itis deeply to be re- gretted, for neither of the gentlemen involved has been rated, we believe, as Al at the head- quarters of the Patriarchs, and this makes the matter somewhat embarrassing. It is related that the pot and kettle had a controversy some years ago touching the matter of color, which was fought to what is technically known as a draw. But this disturbance did not even for a moment eclipse the gayety of nations. Canada Speaks for Herself. From the Toronto Mail. As Canadians, we should be wanting in self- respect and in common honesty if we per- mitted the London journals to run away with the idea that imperial federation has charm for us. On the contrary, if imperial federa- tion is to involve the slightest dimunition of our political liberties, or tocompelus to tax our people for Old World wars, no Canadian worthy of the name will be found supporting it. Itissimply impossible to turn back the hand of the dial or expect us as an intelligent community to revert to political conditions incompatible with the enjoyment of absolute self-government. Gould and Bennett. From the Philadelphia Record. Mr. Gould cannot establish a reputation for honesty on the ruins of Mr. Bennett’s reputa- tion for temperance and ‘chastity, and the reading public will be astonished that so wily and wary a man should have. gone to the fish market for his polemical weapons. Has Mr. Gould been driven into acorner, or has sea- voyaging disturbed his mental balance? MEN OF MARK. the actor, is sald to be JOSEPH JEFFERSON, worth $750,000.

Mr. Carter of Anniston, Ala., has lost his nose through losing his temper ina dispute with a neighbor. The neighbor, en- raged because unable to cope with the preach- er’stongue, set his teeth into his opponent’s nose and bit it off. Mn. JAMES REDPATH, the lecturer, who has been dangerously ill, denies that he has turned Catholic. Ata critical period of his iliness the last rites were administered to him by Dr. MoGlynn and other priests, and he now thanks them for it, but be is still a rationalist, although he would join the Catholic Church if he joined any. BISHOP FOWLER believes a good idea, even if stolen, will put to rout a myriad of platitudes. He advises some young preachers at Hoboken asfollows: ‘‘Grace is free, but brains and ability are not. You must have ideas to preach from, and, if you haven’t got any of your own, stealthem. But be honest about it and own up like a man and your congrega- tion will not be offended. They like an abundance of ideas even if they are bor- rowed.’’ —— — WOMEN OF THE WORLD. Mrs. GARFIELD hasan annual income of up- ward of $20,000.

A-STATEMENT SHOWING THE COST~ OF May Kuow What Street Spynklivg Under the New Ordinance Will Cost for the Present Sea- son—The Boundaries of the Sprinkling Districts—A Gratifying Decrease in the Cost of the Work. To-day the PostT-DISPATCH, with the assiet- ance of President Flad of the Board of Public Improvements and in anticipation of the work ot the army of special-tax clerks at the City Hall, presents to each property-owner a state. ment of his bill for street sprinkling for the coming season. No item, In fact, in connec- tion with the inauguration of this great public improvement is of so much interest to property owners as the By dividing the total number of taxable feet in each district into the contract price for the season the cost per frontfoot has been ob- tained. By multiplying the linear front feet of his real estate possessions, both benefited sides being included in corners, by the cost per foot for the district In which the property is located every householder may know what his share of the cost for the season may be, The results of this calculation are extremely gratifying. In many instances where property owners paid 26 cents and 82 cents per linear front foot under the old private subscrip- tion plan, their assessment under the new law will not exceed 4% cents. In none ofthe districts will the cost of sprinkling equal one-half of the cost under the old plan. The figures are exceedingly low, except in the Forty-third district, which was included on the motion of the Delegate of the Twenty- eighth Ward at the solicitation of the residents of that partofthecity. Théy reasoned that they would, by turning over to the city the work of making contracts, fare better than by trusting to private i@gealings with the con- tractors.

On the llth inst. the fiscal year will end. By that date the municipal business of the current year willbe closed up. Comptroller Campbell is now busy examining esti- mates of various offices for the coming year.

During the pasttwo years the regular annual expenses have been increased nearly $100,000. Inthe Fire Department alone the salary list has been increased $40,000. The revenue now available for municipal purposes amounts to about 8, 600,000. Every dollar of this is required for the running expenses of the City Government, In the annual showing made after the appro- priation items, amounting to about $130,000, are carried on the credit side of the books, butthe Delegates who are aiways on the alert to attack the treasury in favorof their wards have long since found that these credits cannot be realized on as they are offset by un- collected tax bills, leavingthe city with a light pocket when the allowances for the coming year are made.

The Poll Boeks. Delegate Samuel Hays, who has sustained Recorder Williams in all the. fights made upon his administration by the party champions in the Municipal Assembly, does not support him in his position concerning the poll books. Yesterday he addressed to the Recorder the following letter giving the reasons why the copies of the books should be given for use at the primary elections: Hon. H. W. Williams, Recorder of Voters, City Hall: DEAR StR—Permit me to express the hops that you will recede from the position you have taken in refusing an inspeetion or the copying of the registration lists for use at the approaching primary elections upon a consid- eration of the following: The registration books containing the names of the qualified voters of the city are public documents in the broadest sense of the term. It is not only a matter of ublio polley, but of indlivid- ual richt that such citizen shall have access to these books, subject to reasonable restric- tions and regulations for their safe custody and correct preservation, just as each citizen has the right to obtain copies of other public records, In the case of State vs. Hoplitzelle, decided by the Supreme Court at its April term, 1855 (85 Mo., 620), this question was decided. That case, it is true, referred to the inspec- tion of the poll books which had been used at an election, and application was made by a contestant claining to have been elected at such election, But the reasoning of the opinion clearly es- tablishea the publio character of the books in question. In other words, the right rests upon the right of citizenship. It is wholly immaterial that the application is made by citizens who are members of political organizations, and it Is wholly im- material that the Recorder may think that certain individual citizens may wish copies of tire lists for the furtherance of fraudulent and even illegal purposes. If, as a citizen, the applicant has the righttoa eopy of the public record, the official custodian has no right to deny such copy because he thinks the applicant may intend to make fraudulent or illegal use thereof. VP pte this reasoning the Recorder of Deeds could refuse to give copies of the rec- ords in his office to those whom he thought intended to use them to perpetrate forgeries. As a publio official the Recorder of Voters has nothing to do with the motives of the indi- vidual or the citizen, who,as a citizen, asks for a copy of the public lists of voters. The criminal law must be relied on to protect the public and individuals against commission of crime. In many cities these lists are not only open to Ein ins peet ion, but are required by law to be publicly posted thoughout thecity. In other words, it is the policy of the law to in- vite all possible publicity for these lists, and 1 isthe best possible preventlve of raud. Suppose an individual citizen inter- ested in the tariff question, or in the labor question, orin any other matter of public in- terest wishes to dissemminate his views among the qualified voters of his precinct or ward, will it be claimed that he has not a right subject to all reasonable rules and regulations for the custody and preservation of such lists, andon paying the costs of pueparin such copies, to obtain a copy of the list of such voters to enabie him to hersuch ends in the performance of what he deems the duties of his citizenslfip? A reference of this Important question to three or more attorneys will, I am sure, justi. you in a reconsideration of the position you have as I believe too hastily taken. With the expression of my confidence in your desire to do what is — in the premises,I remain yours very truly SAMUEL HAYES. St. Louis, April 4. The Recorder still maintains that his post- tion is correct and that he cannot legally give out the books for use at the primaries, though he is willing to be convinced that he would be justified in so doing. He Concurred. Councilman N. O. Nelson desires that the absence of his name from the report ot the Stone Gas Committee when submitted should not be understood as showing that he was not in accord with the recommendations. The tenor of the report was, in fact, suggested to a considerable extent by Councilman Nelson. The writing of the report was only completed a short time before its presentation by Chair- man Stone, and on account of the lack of time atone Mr. Nelsons name was not signed to the CAUGHT AT LAST.

There were apprec ing audiences at the People’s, Standard. * — — There isa bunch of Directoire costumes in the last act of Little Puck’’ which takes the breath away from the audience and strains the nervous system of the front rows. It is a symphony in blue and white’ with low- neck e-back variations. Ifthese can be said ie 4 special features in & sensation which is made up of them they are furnished by Bessie Sanson and Lillie Deaves. Miss Sanson’s tangent flies off in the direction ofa tie- back and Miss Deaves’ takes a lea toward theo ee of the low-cut andclosefit. They have solved the problem of box a girl ean be fairly-well clothed, bodiced and skirted, and yet not appear to be clothed at all. Itisa clear case of maiden defying the modiste or modiste defying society, one or the other. Miss Senson’s tie-back begins somewhere near her waist-line, just below the upper end of her skirt and extends around the cape of the fig- ure almost to her ankles, and when she makes a hundred-yard dash across the stage a fig- leaf would be a relief from the intensity of the tie- back and the situation. The syiph-like Miss Deaves, on the other hand, when she strikes one of her characteristic poses re- sembies Dawn being wafted in, clotned ina transparent fleece-cloud, with the sun shin- ing through it. The other costumes are made up of tie-backs and tights and are worn by Misses Emma Hanley, Louise Eissing and Jennie Stetson. They are affective. e*e The public think of actresses often as doing little eccept attend a rehearsal now and then and go on the stage, looking as petty as poss!i- ble in datnty robes made for them by costum- ers and dressmakers. Frequently the pretti- est gowns worn 4 actresses are designed by themselves, and it sometimes happens. par- ticularly in classic draperies, that even the work of making them is done by the wearers. Miss Eugiene Blair has exquisite taste in draping her graceful figure, and always pre- sents a picture when she steps on the stage, which is frequently her own creation. One of the pretiest gowns she has worn this week was a delicate Brey in which she appeared in the third act of Gaston Cadol,’’ and which she made with her own hands the after- noon before the performance. It "was very graceful and effective. The audience which assembled at the Pick- wick last evening for the performance of the „Romeo and Juliet’’ travesty for the benefit of the Memorial Home enjoyed as a | a performance as one would wish to see. The travesty is bright and the cast was excellent, doing work of which professionals might be yroud, Ihe music was particularly good. he principals bandied their roles cleverly sang well, while the cho- and acted and sung with vim and spirit.

Symmes Keady was exoelient. The rform- ance will be repeated to-nightfor the same worthy cause. The costumes were handsome and were made especially for the production by Mrs. Purcell. — ° ~ The military tableaux and war songs by the members of the First Battalion, N. G. M., last evening, attracted a fine audience to Music Hall. The battle pictures were admirably ar- ranged and were artistic and effective. The music was given by the Battalion Band under the leadership of Sergt. J. H. Thriece, and the Glee Club, composed of Mesers. & Becker, L. G. Harris, hos. Doon, David Mur- phy and others. — The fourth concert of the Mendelssohn Quin- tette Club was one of the most enjoyable musical events of the season. essrs.

Kroeger and Laura Ander- son. The programme was made up of ad- mirable selections, and received with the enthusiasm by an audience which filled Mem- oriai Hall. An immense audience assembled at the Grand Opera-house this afternoon at 1 o’ clock for the annual benefit of the Elks. The house and stage were beautifully decorated with flowers, plants and evergreens, and the seats were filled with one of the most fashionable assemblages that ever gathered in a theater.

Kate Rooney's Case. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcu. New Tonk, April é4.—Surrogate Ramson has issued citations upon the petition of Kate Rooney, the actress who wants to be relieved ofthe guardianship of her step-father, Pat Rooney, the comedian. The returns will be made April 26. — FALLING OFF IN TOBACCO, Unusual Decrease in the Internal Revenue Keceipts—The Cause. The March returns of Collector Barnum show a falling off of $100,000 in the receipts. This being the largest tobacco district in the world, the decrease is significant. The re- ceipts from all sources in the month of March for the past two years were as follows: This deficit was made up as follows: Whisky receipts 1887............ dees pee Whisky — 3... e io eee $ 74,048 10 Tobacco receipt 18525 dots 900 60 298 ps Tobacco receipts 1588 ............ ..0s „ 210, D ess eee ese cose — 8 58,188 11 13 and cigars show a slight increase in THE CAUSE THEREOF. Collector Barnum speaking on this matter said: de falling off in whisky and that in tobacco are due to different causes. The de- crease in whisky receipts is due tothe closing out of one distillery bythe whisky pool, The Cecrease in tobacoo ig due to the uncertainty existing regarding the effect of the bills be- fore Congress to reduce the internal revenue tax or repeal it al ther. Dealers do not want to have a lot of tobacco, on which they paid taxes, on hand when aredeeming or repealing actshali go into effect. The Mills bill extends a rebate to everybody who has tobacco on hand and who has paid a tax equal $5. This n is no evidence that less liquor or tobacco is used.

The striking carvers formerly employed by the Pullman Palace Oar Company, though blacklisted by the co-operation have not alto- gether despaired of attaining theirend. Two days ago the local strikers approached the vicinity of therepair shops at Twenty-first street and the railroad track, and loitered some time about the building. Yesterday they again appeared, peering through the wire screens and the windows of the works, when they were ordered away by Foreman Scarborough. Upon declaring their right to occupy the pavement the services of a policeman were secured, whereupon they departed and have not returned. The officials in charge say there was nothing in the nature of a disturbance, but that they objected to these men loitering around forthe apparent urpose of demoralizing those at work. here was „ general disaffection amon the wood-earvers employed in the Pullman shops as long as two years ago, atthe time of the railroad strike, and in the early part of February last the men demanded shorter hours and more moneyin the con- struction shops at Pullman and in the repair shops at Detroit, Bloomington, Del., and St. Louis. The demand in this city was the short- ening of the day’s work from ten to nine hours and an increase of 15 er cent in the wages paid, making alto- gether an advance amounting to about 2 percent, This was refused and the fifteen men employed in the shops went out ina body. Their places were only partially filled, there being at the present time but six men employed 10 carving the ornamental wood- work of the sleepers, some of whom are ap- prentices.

Splendid Bargains in Decorative Articles Occurring at the Art Auction Sale. Good things are always in demand. That is the way they are running at the Art Auction Sale of the Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Co. at 408 North Fourth street, where the mag- nificent bargains occurring every few minutes as the sale progresses are being snapped up by some fortunate person who happens to be present, and straightway all the friends of the fortunate person deeply regret that they were not present. The only way to secure the lovely objects for home — which which are selling at such remarkably low prices is to go and watch for them and the opportunity is sure to come, but anyone who wants to get it must go quickly, for the bargains are disappearing like snow on a hot day. There are throngs inthe store-room every day, the crowd to-day being larger than ever, a whole host of fashionably dressed ladies and gentlemen being present. To-day’s bargains were almost incredible and those who fall to attend the sale are missing the finest chances they will ever have. TURNED HER FOOTSTEPS. Romantic and Touching Scene in the In- ternal Revenue Office. Yesterday afternocn an elderly lady, ac- companied by her blooming young daughter, came into the Internal Revenue office. She was from Jefferson County and had come all the way tosee about ataxon some home-made wine. During a long and tedious explanation ofher taxable responsibility, it was learned her daughter was stage struck and had ac- companied her mother tothe big city for the sake of seeing if she could get on the stage. When Chief Olerk John C. Atwood thought of those naturally red cheeks all covered with dressing-room 8 and those cherry Ups kiasse by thoughtless $6 a weak actors, his deep vein of paiicpophy was moved. Turning tothe young lady he said sternly, but withan infinite ten- derness in his tones: ‘‘Girl, you ought to go back to the farm. Learn to make bread, clean the dishes and feed the chickens, and then marry some stalwart boy who will make you a ood husband.’’ Then he ad- ded with an I’ve been there my- self pathos: ‘*Take the word of u man of the world, there is more real happi- in all the garish glory of the footlights.’’ At this the young girl turned with her bosom heaving and plucking her mother b the sleeve said: Come, ma, let's go back home, and as thetwo passed out into the corridor, the old lady was heard to say: „Well, well, I didn’t know before that the Government hired ministers. Don't forget to remember that good young man in your prayers.’’ NEw styles children’s plaid suits, $1.85, nob- by pleated suits, $1.50 and $2.50; very fine ones at $3.50.

The officers in the Chestnut Street Police Station were startled shortly after 8 o’clock last evening by a sound as of falling walls, and, hastening in the direction of the nolse, whither they were followed by a large crowd of excited men and boys, found the double three-story brick building, numbered 19 and 21 South Main street, a complete wreck. The crash had come without other warn! than the a ae, of laster — the heads of the three men who happened at the time to be — Within, and all that was for the moment left to tell the story was the tangled heap of bricks, beams and mortar piled in the wildest confusion and so mingle that it was no easy matter to tell to which es tablishment the wrecked material belonged or which store had been the first to give way. The buildings were occupied by two firms, No. 19 by Bollman & O’ Hara, wholesale liquor deal- ers, and No. 21 oy the saur-kraut and vinegar works of F.A.Kaufman. The last- named establishment was well stocked, con- taining some 3850 barrels of sugar distributed on the two — — floors, together with barreis of vinegar and sugar and the machinery used in manufacture placed in other portions of the building. In the establishment of Bollman & O’Hara was about five hundred barrels of whisky, in addition to other wmer- chandise peculiar to the trade. The double building, the property of Mrs. Powell, probably represented $10,000 in value and is utterly wrecked; Kaufman’s stock was worth from $10,000 to $15,000, while the whisky and like merchandise of Bollman & O’ Hara probably footed — $20,000 in value. Fortunately none of the a joining property was inthe least damaged, and owing to the mild weather there were no overturned stoves aflame to heighten the disaster. The uprising cloud of dust had, however, created the impression that the ruins were on fire, and this, added to the report that mangled bodies were lying crushed under the debris, prompted Sergt. Young to call out the fire department. But preseutly, while a rigorous search was being made, the three supposed victims of the dis- aster put in an appearance with blanched faces. They were Christopher Reichel, one of Kaufman’s employes, and his two friends, Fred Driedler and Mike RBeis- ler. As! soon as they were able to give an intelligent account of what had happened, it was learned that Reichel had been at work in the rear of the first floor, while his companions were engaged in con- versation, and that the warning given by fall- ing plaster had enabled them to flee through the door just as the walls fell in with a great crash. The three men luckily escaped without a scratch, but Riechel, who roomed in the building, lost his clothes and other personal belongings. The theory of the wreck is that the buildin was overweighted by the heavy goods — throughout, and being old was unable tostand the strain. From the disposition of the tim- bers it would appear that Kaufman's estab- lishment had been the first to give way, bring- ing down the whisky house in ite fall. Men were busy this morning removing the wreck and such of the stock as had not been com- pletely ruined. Some twenty barrels of whisky had been secured, with more in sight, while the machinery of the Kaufman estab- lishment and some of the stock was in a fair way to be rescued without much damage. The only part of the building left standing is the rear walis and a portion of the flooring whereon some of the stock and fixtures still remained. Globe Hat Bargains To- Morrow.

Priest, the Dispensary and Jail Physician, are en- deavoring to have a small hospital fitted up in the jail before the warm weather sets in. Until the Municipal Assembly makes the ap- propriations for the coming fiscal year nothing can be done in the matter, as there are no funds in the bands of Mr. Callahan. All that is asked is to have the partition removed between two of the wider cells of the jail on the upper tier, opening them up into one cell about eighteen feet wide. This would givean apart- ment in which three or four patients could be comfortably cared for. No matter how Illa prisoner charged with murder in the first de- ree may be, the Court does not like to order fis removal to the City Hospital, as the chances for escape from that institution are too great. Then there are complaints like pneumonia which render the removal of a patient not only inadvisa- ble but extremely dangerous. There should be some place in jall in whichthese peo- ple can be properly treated. The dark,narrow cells are no place for them, and some sort ofa hospital is badly needed. A few dollars would do the work, and Dr. Priest has written a let- ter advocating it, which the Jailer has in- dorsed. Just received, 1,000 pair of men’s splendid shoes at $1.50.

A Hungarian Conspiracy to Secretly Murder Three Witnesses at Wilkesbarre, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. WILKESBARRE, Fa., April 5.—A startling story was told in the Mayor’s office here last evening.

Any one who, for any reason, pins his faith on rumors that the Governer is going to an- nounc his declination of the honor before it is offered him or after, is simply mistaken.

New York, April 5, lla. m.—The activity in the stock market was more moderate at the opening than on the past two days. and the tone was rather heavy, though first prices showed irregular changes from bl, to Mo from yesterday's closing figures. More de- cided weakness was developed inthe early trading, however, and fractional losses were sustained over the entire list, Reading, St. Paul and Jersey Cen- tral losing de each and others of the general list emaller amounts, while Manhattan was exceptional witha drop of lilac. The market then became quiet and after a slight reaction remained steady at the deciine for the restofthe hour. Reading, St. Paul aud Lackawanna were the active stocks, though there was a quiet business in a half dozen of the lead- ing stocks. here was no further feature to the dealings, and at llo'clock the market was quiet but steady to firm at fraction under the opening figures. Noon.—Money is easy at 3@4 percent. Bar stiver. 03. The stock market made some further slight im- provement after 11 o’clock which was. however, confined to the smallest limits, except in Richmond & West Polut, which was very active and advanced 1% percent. Prices then shaded off, and the lowest prices of the previous hour were approximated and in many cases surpassed. There was very littie feature in the market, aud at noon it was quiet and rather heavy at close to the lowest prices of the morning. 8 p. m. ~The stock market closed active and firm at close to opening figures.

St. Louis Markets. FORENOON SESSION, CLOSING 1 r. . It looks very much like rain and the weather is un- comfortably warm.——The State Agricultural Board of Kansas reports the general condition of the wheat and rye crops good. The total acreage sown to wheat | is 1,315,828 acres, an excess of 17,209 acres over lastyear. A larger area of corn than ever before will be grown this year, and already a great deal of seed has been pianted. Heavy rains have satu- rated the round and the soll could not be in better shape. The whole report is very encour- aging. The following letter, received by a New York shipping firm from a London house, wiil be read with luterest: ‘*‘We believe there isa very large quantity of wheat avaliable for shipmennt from both the Rus- sian and the Baltic ports; and as it is relatively cheaper and more suitable than yours, we shall no doubt derive a large paft of our supplies from that di- rection. There willaiso be a large quantity of wheat to beshipped from Australia, as also from India. From this latter quarter prices come weaker and are likely soon to compete with Russian and other sup- lies. We note your remarks with reference to prices being higheron your side. Should you continue, however, your present enormous shipments of flour and your prices remain at their present level, we are not likely to be free buyers of your wheat to any ap- preciable extent. You may have crop scares. Indeed we presume you could hardly get on without them. But they have lost much of the interest they at one time possessed. inasmuch as our consumers are be- ginning to place very littie reliance upon such rumors, or, in fact, upon any statistical information thev now receive from America. In time, possibly, Bradstreet may give us more confidence in their fig- ures. Meanwhile, our markets continue extremely dull, as do also the Continental markets generally, there being ample supplies in Europe and the pros- pects of the atts | cropé all that could be desired.“ New York wire W. L. Green that cables on wheat were dull rospects for ness very dlecou ing, put corn steady. ——By private wire to Fath, Ewald 4 Co., Chicago: Baxter, Vankirk and other scaipers builing wheat, but no conspicuous trading. It opened weak. Corn opened weak with some selling pressure, but reacted ona fair basis. Corn quiet, but firmer. No special feature and scalpers watching wheat. Milbourne and Marble Moore are limited sellers of wheat. Scaipers seem to be the main support to the market. Pork is strong on light offering and a small scattered demand rading so far is light. M. C. Mitchellis selling May wheat at 75 aT bbe. The market acts a little heavy.——Schwartz & Dupee just bought 200,000 bu May wheat at 781, and still are bidding. Scalping bulls are selling out the wheat they bought at the opening. Schwartz & Dupee were the only good buyers. Corn is heavier. Smith & G. just sold May at S5liec. Pork continues dull, and ribs also, except that Ream eold 1.500.000 ribs to Webbe, Clifton Kirkwood. Boyd-Paxton buying a good deal of wheat causes firmness. Cold weather predicted has a tendency to firm wheat a little. Crowd bulling corn on prospective light receipts and light offer- ings. Estimated car lots for to-morrow: Wheat, 35 cars; corn, 80 cars; oats, 1 cars. Advices from Odessa, March17, report the stock of wheat at that port 1,048,000 bu., of which 880,000 bu. was Azim or winter wheat. When the inland navigation opens, fresh 1 — are expected to largely increase the stock. he spring field work in France is reported to be nearly a month behindhand., On the 22d of March there was on passage to the Continent from Oregon, California, Australia, Ar- gentine Republic and India, 1,735.920 bu. of wheat, against 4,626,040 bu. at the corresponding date of last year. zt s estimated that the consumption of fiour and wheatin the United Kingdom during the past week exceeded the farmers’ deliveries of native wheat and the importation of foreign flour and wheat bya quantity equivalent to 1,103,056 bu of wheat; consequently the supply in the United Kirg- dom has decreased to that extent.——John A.

A POLITICIAN IN TROUBLE, The Arrest of Dr. Lavallee for the Misap- propriation of Funds. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatoa. MonTReaL, April 5.—Political circles here are excited at the arrest of Dr. Lavallee, ex- Legislative Councillor for the District of Lanaudiere, on a charge of wholesale misap- propriation of funds given to him for the pur- pose of improving and maintaining coloniza- tion roads in his division of country. Dr. La- vollee is a very strong Conservative and lares that his arrest is caused by — at the hands of the Liberal vernment, but the fact that he resigned bis seat in the Council on a promise that nothing further would be heard of the charges against him, seems to give substance to the prosecu- tion. The Government claim that this is but the first arrest in a series intended where sup- rters of the late Conservative Ministry have een guilty of abstracting many hundreds of thousands of dollars from the public treasury for supposed improvements of backwoods roads, yet no work has been done and the money has disappeared.

Mr. McLean opened negotia- tions with Mr. Dorsheimer for the purchase of the Star a year ago, it was said, and since Mr. Dorsheimer’s death he had renewed his offers, which had been accepted by Mr.Dorshe!mer’s representatives. Mr. G. O. Ackerman, business manager of the Star, said yesterday that the story about the gale of the Star was a pure inventlon. Me. McLean never made any overture for the pur- chase of the Star in Mr. Dorsheimer’s life- time, sad Mr. Ackerman, and as to Mr. Dorsheimer’s representatives accepting such overtures now, Mr. Dorsheimer bas no legal representatives yet, and won't have until bis wiilis probated.

That, children, is a member of the St. Louis Base Ball Club. They wereonce champions of the world. Last fall — were — by u pile- driver and were with difficulty dug out of the earth before frost set in. Then why does the man feel s0 gay and vi- vacious? The reason, children, is that the club has caught the Detroits out of shape and beaten them one came. Then that smile is liable to grow sickly and the demeanor less lordly before the season closes? It is, indeed, children; please keep your op- tics upon them. The Wolverine colts couldn't stand the gait to-day and the Browns will prociaim to the world that they have beaten the Detroits, well knowing that they have done nothing of the sort. he spring meeting of the uisi- ana Jockey Club Segue to-day and there was a very small crowd to witness the@game.

A paragraph has started on the rounds to the effect that Dunlap denies that there is want of harmony in the Pittsburg team, of which he is Captain. Some people seem to have an idea thatin order to produce discord all that is necessary is to drop Dunny down from the clouds andthe discord follows him like rain. e A New York paper says that ff Hanlon does not join the Detroits Dave Rowe will captain the team. Itadds that Rowe is now practic- ing in center field. Jack Rowe, short-stop, is probably meant, and he has not yet prac- ticed in center fleld or in any other position. Dave Rowe is withthe Kansas City American Association club. The latest addition to the Milwaukee Base Ball Club is J. O. A. Struck, an amateur pitcher, who comes well recommended by prominent base ball men of Louisville. The question now is, What have we struck?’’ Will Struck strike em all out on strikes? or will every striker who strikes at Struck be able to say he is the man who easily struck the de- livery of John Quincy Adams Struck?’’—([Butf- falo Courier. There was rejoicing in the Indianapolis camp vesterday when Geo. Meyers, the old catcher, walked into the Grand Hotel, ready for duty.
