FS only Englishmen who dd un we Even then many members were ing the demonstrations all over the country- in favor of one side or the other in politics in Noblemen’s Park and elsewhere. The fashion of combining political gatherings with swings; roundabouts, captive balloons and other amusements is now well established. While sir William Harcourt complained at the meeting in the beautiful grounds of Lord Leigh’e Park, in Warwickshire, that the Union- ists had given up argument and resorted to -salumny, Balfour was saying precisely the pamething of the Liberals at the Tory out- door fete at Lord Aberg Avenny’s seat at Tumbridge Wells, where un ox was roasted whole in honor of the occasion. Most people, however, in spite of the rather cheerless weather, gave themselves up unreservedly to amusement. It is evident that the bank holiday which was unknown in England only a gener- ation ago, has already become the greatest ‘of popular holidays of the year, not only in London but in every part ot England. The day was untortunstely marked by an occur- rence at the Irish Exhibition in London, where ayoung woman met a frightful death on the toboggan slide, the first accident of this kind in this country since tobogganing was intro- duced. She was sitting back to back witha male companion and had gone down the in- cline about twenty-five yards from the start- ing platform, when her hat biew off,she leanea forward to try and save it and struck her bead against the steel rails at the side. She fell back Wurde and was dragged along with her bead bumping violently against the track. Her skull was fractured and she was dis- figured beyond recognition. Strange to say, her companion knew nothing of the accident until he arrived at the end of the journey. TRIBUTES TO GEN. SHERIDAN. All the papers speak in high terms of Gen. Bheridan. The News says Sheridan’s name will long be a memory and an incentive among the great people who, after having brought to a trtumphant conclusion the most terrible war of their time, returned totne loom and the plow.

Four of the persons ar- rested are foreigners. The Mayor has issued an order forbidding the people to assemble under the penalty prescribed by the riot act of 1848. The strikers continue the work of ag- itation and another riot is feared. Troops guard the town hall and factories and are pa- trolling the streets. MGR. BAZLEY PEAD. Mar.

High Constable Gates and his men failed to ef- fect his arrest and have returned to town. They were very badly treated by the people at Lake Megantic, who are said to sympathize withthe murderer. They refused to either drive the officers orlend them their horses. The officers even had difficulty in obtaining food. It is not true that Morrison parades the Village. He is still in hiding. TYPHOID FEVER IN A CONVENT. “MONTREAL, August 7.—An outbreak of ty- phoid fever has occurred in the Oarmelite convent at Hochelaga. All postulants, those who have not yet taken the habit, were sent home to their parents. One of the novic has died since and four others have been prostrated. , THE GRASSHOPPER PLAGUE OVER. The residents of St. Bathelemie claim that the plague of grasshoppers which infested their vicinity some time ag, has completely disappeared. This is due entirely, they say, to the masses and processions gf the faithful in the parish. SUPPLEMENTARY CROP REPORTS. TORONTO, Ontario, August 7.—Supplement- ary crop reports receiv last night from all parts of the Province of Ontario show that all the crops with the exception of spring and fall wheat and hay will be above the average in yieldand quality. Previous reports stated that the outlook was bad, owing to a general drouth which prevailed, but since then rain has fallen everywhere and instead of a scarcity there is likely to be an abundance of everything. ‘IMMIGRATION FIGURES. tions had with the Irish leadersafew years ago.

Bandmann’s version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, coming after the brilliant success that Mansfield has made, was a ludicrous failure. Many oenes are declared by the critics to be more xe a pantomime than adrama. Band- mann’s antics in the principal part are com- pared by one critic to those of a galvanized frog. — . —ͤ—ͤ A BURLESQUE. Bandmann’s Production of “Jeykll and 7 Hyde”—Mr. Mansfield’s Reception. Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Lorpox, August 7.—According to promise Bad d produced his version ot Jekyll and Hy before a large audience. Through an unfor- tunate mishap in the stage-setting and some absurdities of dialogue intended as humor, the performance gmounted to little more than a burlesque. The audience laughed im- moderately on all sorts of inopportune occa- sions, to the evident discomfort of the actors. If George Grosemith’s burlesque ot Hyde and Jekyll’’ produces half so much merri- ment he will de delighted. With one or ‘two exceptions Bandmann’s version of the play is the same as he produced in New York. After the last act Bandmann was called upon foraspeech. He said that at any rate he was not a debutante in London, and was not going to wash dirty linen on the stage. He threw himself on the law and the generosity of the press and public. Mr. Mansfield said yesterday that he should probably make no attempt to prevent Band- mann’s performance; in fact, there is a gen- eral suspicion that he will do all he can to en- courage it for the present. The alleged war- fare is a tremendous advertisement. The London papers yesterday treated Mansfield yery kindly though they severely condemn the play. All criticism of Mansfield’s acting is inakindly spirit. Clement Scott, in the Telegraph, says: The play is morbid and gruesome, a chapter of useless physiological analysis, unrelieved by one touch of human- ity.’’ But of Manefield he says: He has come, and has been seen, and has conquered. As an actor he has remarkable power and in- telligence.’’ The Times, which is the most severe of all, says the play is not a physiologi- cal study at all, and calls Mansfleld weak as Jekyll and horrible as Hyde. Mansfield ex- presses himself as thoroughly pleased with his reception hero. England. A FATAL COLLISION, Lorpor, August 7.—There was a fatal co)- Uston at the Teddington end of the Hampton Wick Depot at midnight last night between a passenger train and 6 goods train. The lo- motive and guards van of the goods train mounted up over the locomotive of the pas- eenger train and landed on the foremost pas- senger age. Two of the passenger car- riages were telescoped. The driver and stoker of the passenger locomotive and four passengers were killed. WANT MORE WAGES. The card-room hands in the mills at Biackburn have notified the masters that un- less they are granted an advance of 10 per eent in wages they will strike. This would involve the stoppage of 150,000 looms and 1,000,000 spindles and the disemployment of 80,000 operatives. THE RACES. The Brighton August meeting opened to- fay. The races were run in a dense fog. The race for the Marine plate was won by Lord wager eae 5-year-old bay mare, Cataract. at the Opera Comique last night yesterday to take the place of strikers. Two of them were induced by strikers’ pickets to join theirranks. The other cighteen, it is ex- pected will go to work in the morning. ARCHBISHOP LYNCH’S SUCCESSOR. Bishop Farrell of Trenton, N.

LAST NIGHT’S STORMS. Great Damage to Crops in Missouri and Illinois. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPpaTcu. NEVADA, Mo., August 7.—At 10 o’clock last nightaterrific storm burst forth upon the city. It seemed for hours that all the fidod- gates of the universe were ajar, and the rain poured without intermission until 6 o’clock this morning. This whole country is literally covered with water. Passengers on the in- coming trains this morning from the South- west report fine rains alloverthe Southwest. This insures an abundant crop for this county. Sparrows Killed by Hail. By Telegraph to. the Post-DIsPaTcn. LADDONIA, Mo., August 7.—The heaviest hai and wind storm for years visited this section at an early hour yesterday morning. The corn crop is found to be much damaged. One man claims he is damaged $2,000. The apple crop is also crippled and myriads of English sparrows succumbed to the pelting hail. Damaged Oats. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatca. Mr. VERNON, III., August 7.—A very heavy wind storm passed over this place at about 2 o’ clock this morning, trees were blown down and the rain fell in torrents. Corn in all parts of the county was blown down and it is ex- pected that considerable damage is done to oats in the shock. Thunder and Lightning Storm. By Telegraph to the Post- DIspaTcr.

NASHVILLE, III., August 7.—A terrific rain- storm, accompanied by a very high wind, passed over this county last night. Many trees were biown* down and the corn crop seriously damaged. No reports of other damage have yet reached here. The Damage at Carrollton, Mo. CARROLLTON, Mo., August 7.—A storm of unusual severity swept over the town day be- fore yesterday, doing damage to trees, stock and buildings which will only be replaced after years ot time. Thousands of trees of all kinds were broken and killed, and orcharas in the vicinity are totall? destroyed. Orchards and Crops Damaged. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn.

The Handsome Improvements Made In West Cabanne Place—An Artistic Entrance Gate—Some ofthe People Who Will Live There—The Harrison Wire Mill To Go To Kansas City—Green Lea Fiace Improve- ments—Sales. . It is but a few years since Vandeventer piace may be said to have been the only exclusive residence spot in the city, made especially at- tractive by a judicious and harmonious com- bination of enterprise, wealth and art, where the luxuries of elegant homes could be most perfectly enjoyed ge- cure from objectionable influences and the noise and bustle incident to public thoroughfares. The success of this venture proved to be such a paying investment to the promoters of itthat theirexample has been followed by many other persons in beautify- ing anumber of suburban places several of which compare, in the character of their im- provements, most favorably with the original model in artistic effects. In this respect West Cabanne place has been prominently brought to notice by means of a large outlay of money in providing the prop- erty with asuperior order of improvements and handsome decorations. Of these adorn- ments the entrance at the east end of the place, a cut ot which is herewith given, is a very neat specimen of decorative architecture for the purpose intended. The Artistic Entrance. This ornate passage way is througu a iow wall of red granite designed like the parapet of an old castle, and is partly rustic. Huge biocks of rough and 9 granite from the quarry flanking each side of the — 1 way, the top K leveled to receive the bases for the 8 7 hese lamps are some- thing unique. The standards are of ~ tag - designed wrought iron surmounted wit uare lanterns of polished brass and beveled plete glass reaching to the height of about fif- teen feet. THE BLOCKS OF ROUGH GRANITE, which serve as wheel fenders, show an in- genious novelty in being pierced for a gutter- way underneath. On either side of the road- way openings in the wall allow for continuous sidewalks. Large iron vases placed upon pedestals at the walk entrances are to be fillea with growing flowers and vines. As the name suggests, this property adjoins the well known Cabanue place proper on the west. Its owner, George Townsend, has carried on the improvements regardless of ex- pense, believing that the returns from the sale of lots would justify the outlay. To most cer- tainly accomplish this he has reserved all rights eee See etc. A compulsory building line tween house-fronts on the place makes the intervening space 160 feet wide and the usual restrictions incorporated into deeds guarantee purchasers from nui- sances of all kinds. The lots are nearly 100 feet front by a depth of 212, all above grade, and the improvements consist of a 40-foot graveled 2 road, witha rip-rap stone bed, thoroughly rolled. There are 5-foot stone walks, pordered with grass plats, and trees on either side, and the curb and gutter are made of red granitoid. Under- lying these isan 18-inch sewer, with connec- tions for every lot, and each lotis fenced off front and rear, and numbers of shade trees have been planted upon them. The sales of lots that have been made there since the inauguration of this elaborate sys- tem of improvements indicate that the enterprise of Mr. Townsend is justly ap- preclated. OF THE PA RTIES who have made purchases in West Cabanne place there may be mentioned F. W. Para- more, who has bought lots numbered 31 and 82 on the north side; Mrs. Mary E.Libby, 109 feet on the south side, * ready to build a $6,000 cottage home; D. P. Lippincott of the Fair- banks Lard Co., 100 feet, lot 14, with plans repsred to build in the spring : P. B. Howard, General Auditor of the Wabash Western, lot No. 16, bought for a home; W. T. Gould, broker, lot No. 19, pur- chased for a home site; H. B. Pogue, lot No. 21. George T. Coxhead, Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Associatien, has just perfected the purchase of lot No. 4,jfor which he paid $25 a foot, the sale hav been negotiated by Frank Obear, Mr. Town- send’s agent. Mr. Ooxhead is now making preparations to commence building a residence next month. ©. W. Clark of the architectural firm of Tully & Clark is the owner of lots 23 and &, a site with 248 feet front with stone on three sides, which he es- | teems as the choicest in the place, where he contemplates building soon. C. A. Young of Brown, Daughaday & Co., has purchased the cottage lot, No. 25, and proposes to occupy the premises next week. These transactions are quite sufficient to rove that property in that locality has not allen from favor. In fact, it is authoritively stated that 1,200 feet front of West Cabanne lace alone has been sold since February ast, a fact which goes to show that first-class improvements will sell good residence land. The Pretty New Depot. The new depot which has just been ocom- pleted is another attraction which Mr. Town- send’s enterprise has provided, with the co- operation of the St. Louis Cable & Western Railway management. It is doubtless one of the most artistic depots on the line, a pleasure not only to the resent and prospective residents of West Cabanne place butto the occupants of a great many other homes in the immediate vicinity as well. The interior of this pretty waiting place is artisticaliv finished in hard wood, makin it pleasant to remain there during a brie time between trains that pass each way at short intervals. THE OLD HARRISON WIRE MILL. It was stated this morning that the old ma- chinery of the abandoned Harrison wire mill, which was bought about ayear ago atthe trustee’s sale by Geo. C. McDonald and W. 8. Anderson, had been purchased for $25,000 by 8. F. & T. A. Scott. Speaking of this matter T. A.

Edward A FELINE GLADIATOR. A Pet of the Planters’ A like Feats. For several days past there has Deen an un- invited and unremunerative, but most wel- dome guest, enjoying the hospitalities of the Planters’ House. In the early part of last week a most dllapidated dissipated look - ing cat made its ae er ta the porter’s room, and by astio that are and Its War- nest desire for the luxury of a square al, to which it had long been a stranger. The hearted employes took t pity upon the forlorn | condition o for its wants. After a few days’ high feeding had r r- ated its energies the cat set about making some return, a the benevolent hosts were astonished / to find that they had been entertaining an angel unaware. As soon as the animal’s ribs ceased to stand out through its hide like the rafters of a house, and its fur had resumed its pristine slickness, it soughta spot where it would have free access to the street, and found this atthe baggage-room door on the south side of the Planters’ House. Here the cat curled it- self up, and — Sees into a deep and eaceful slumber. esently a handsome unting dog belonging to a broker occupying an office in the neighborhood, came along the street. As it approached, the cat was ob- served to raise its head, but almost immedi- ately relapsed into an excelient counterfeit of sleep. Butno sooner had the unsuspicious setter passed, than the catwas awakened as if by magic. Bounding to its eet it made a tremendous spring, and li hted upon the shoulders of the dog, where it be- gan to ply teeth and claws in a manner that unmistakably betokened long practice and filled the delighted spectators with enthu- slam. The surprised and lacerated dog set u a howl, and tried to rid himself of his assail- ant; but all his efforts proved futile. In vain he bit, snapped, rolled in the gutter, and shook himself in agony. The cat momenta- rily dismounted, sprang again and again upon its unwilling steed, and never ceased exer cising its keen claws. After a struggle of four or five minutes, the defeated canine fairly turned tail, and fled at top speed toward the river, on the air with his plaintive howls. The cat, with an expression of great satis- faction upon its countenance, resumed its in- terrupted nap upon the steps, but was always sufficiently awake to makeasimilar assault upon every — dog that came within reach, and was invariably successful in the resultin combats, proving itself a gladiator of trie skill and courage. The news of the daily fights soon spread among the guests of the hotel, and the baggage room has been daily crowded by a throng of interested spectators, while the life of the clerks has been rendered burdensome by the complaints of irate owners of mangled dogs. The hotel employes are delighted with their new acqui- sition, and have refused several tempting pe- cuniary offers looking to its transfer to other fields of usefulness. The cat still holds the fort, While the vicinity of the Planters’ House is carefully avoided by the numerous recipients of feline attention. the animal, and amply provided LOCAL OPTION A DEAD LETTER, Saloon-Keepers at Clinton, Mo., Granted Licenses by the County Court. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. CLINTON, Mo., August 7.—The local option law as to Clinton, which was adopted in this county this spring, has been done away with totally by the granting of licenses to four saloon-keepers, by the County Oourt to-day. An _ election was held which resulted in favor of the Woods local option law, which went into effect February last, at the expiration of the saloon licenses. Since that time, however, the Anheuser-Busch and Wm. J. Lemp's wholesale esta blishments have been in full biast, their licenses not expir- ing until the coming September. the last term of the Circuit there were several indictments found against saloon men and the wholesale dealers for violation of the local option iaw. Upon legaland thorough investigation of the cases and a test of the law it was decided by Judge Dearmond of the Circuit Court that the local option law was not legally adopted in Clinton, owing to certain irregularities in calling the .election. Applications have been made to the County Court since the de- cision for license to run saloons. To-day the County Court granted license to four saloon- eepers, who will open dramshops at once. This is a complete —— to those, who as- sisted in adopting the law, anda final end to local option in Clinton. — TOOK MURBRPHINE, A Mrs. Zimmerle, Formerly of St. Louis, Suicides at Dallas, Tex. By Telegraph to the Post-DrspaTcnu. DaLLAS, Tex., August 7.—Mrs. Zimmerle, a friendless young woman, committed suicide late last night at the Hilliger Cottage on OCot- tonwood and Tenth streets, in the identical room where Annie Bailey suicided two weeks ago. The deceased arrived in Dallas last Thursday from San Antonio and took up lodg- ings at Mrs. Hilliger’s place, where she gave her name as Miss Lizzie Switzer. She stated to some parties that all her friends had ‘‘gone back’’ on herexcept her mother, from whom she was expecting a ietter. About S o' clock last nightshe went out walking. Two hours later she returned and was takensick. At Urst it was thought that there was nothing se- rious the matter with her, but her true condi- tion was discovered and then physicians were sent for, who found that she was sufferin from morphine and past recovery. She died in afew hours. Through a letter found in her effects she was identified as Mrs. Zimmerle. Nothing could be learned of the young wom- an's history except that she came to Texas in 1885 from St. Louis, where her people are sup- posedjto be residing.

Y., August 7.—A colored sta- ble boy, nicknamed ‘‘Boston’’ atthe race track, was hit in the head with a club ina sa- loon near the track last night, by another colored stable boy, named Henry Murphy, from the effects of which he died. His body was found in his room early this morning cold in death. The murderer has not been appre- hended. The police are searching for bim.

The destruction of the city, hith- erto, has been artistically led up to with music, which though a trifle anachronistic was nevertheless . All this, how ever, isnowa bit altered. The trouble ap- ears to hinge on a determination of Mr. dway that the band led by Prot. Vogel was too large for the size of the city, and that if cut down about ten men the nerous and voluptuous swell given out by twenty would be more suitable to the performance than that blown out by thirty artists, the number in Mr. Vogel’s band. From what could be gathered of the details ofthe misunderstanding it seems that Mr. Tredway uested Mr. Vogel to cut down the number of his men to ten. 3 NOW MR. VOGEL claimed that he had an agreement with the managers of the garden by which he was to furnish music for the opera and the Fall“ atthe gardens for the entire season, the number of members in his band being thirty. Therefore when requested by Mr. Tredway to reduce that number he refused to doit, whereupon Mr. Tredway ‘‘sev the connection’’ between the garden and the band at once, and imme- diately,engaged Mr. Postic waite and his band to furnish volcano music forthe rest of the season withtwenty men. A contract to that effect was drawn * and signed by the par- ties, and Mr. Vogel was given to understand that his services were needed no longer. Mr. Vogel thought that these methods were not exactly according to ‘his ideas of the eternal fitness of things and that was his reason for bringing the matter before the Musicians’ Union. Committees were which was to t for the season thirty men with the Kensington, and then wy ard Mr. Postlewaite’s story which was to the effect that Mr. 2 sent for him and engaged him to play out the balance committee appointed to consult with Mr. Tredway took his testimony, which was to the effect simply that he had discharged Mr. Vogel and hired Mr. Postlewaite. (THE COMMITTEES then drew up their reports, which will be submitted tothe Board of Directors of the union at its meeting next Thursday for action which is to be finally submitted for fin action to the union at its meeting on Fridey. Just what the committee will advise is not positively known, but it is intimated that Mr. Vogel is much put out at Mr. Postle- waite. PRESIDENT OWEN MILLER ef the union was seen to-day with reference to the matter and sald: What the union will do is not known. If the Kensington people really engaged both bands they will be held in law to pay both for the full term of their contracts. on the contrary we find that one of the union members has engaged in any un- derhand work to cut out another he will be disciplined, as the laws of the union require. Further than that I will tell you 2 of the affair, as itis not in my province to give out the business of the union without authority. It would appear thatin the shuffle the Ken- sington was left without its usual concort, though there was an immense crowd at the garden Sunday night. The only musicians resent were concentrated in the person ofa ow-sized, heavy-set colored artist who en- deavored to play five different instruments at once witb only partial success. These were a mouth harmonica, a banjo, a snare drum, a pair of cymbals and a bass drum. Just hose music the City of Pompeii will future is a matter to be decided by the Musicians’ Union in the hands of which @ matter rests at present. The management expects Postle- waite’s band tofurnish the music this even- ing, and it is stated that Mr. Postiewaite and his musicians would have played Sunday night bad it not been that Mr. Postlewaite was under the erroneous impression that he was not to begin until this evening. The Musicians Union have as yet taken no action in the mat- ter, but will meet Thursday morning for that purpose. THE STANDING ROCK CONFERENCE, A New York Paper Comments on the Com- missioners’ Bulldozing Tactics. New York, August 7.—In regard to the pe- culiar manner in which the commissioners are trying to gain the consent of three-fourths of the Indians at Standing Rock Agency to the surrender of a large portion of their reserva- tion, the Tribune this morning says:: What the commissioners are now doing is only too apparent. They are trying to bulidoze the In- dians; trying to intimidate them into consent- ing to the treaty, and, what is worst of all, trying to do this by alleging the dishonesty and perfidy of their own Government. The Sioux are plainly told that they must not rely upon the good faith of Congress or belleve that it will 5 its en- gagements and in the same breath they are chidden because they suspect the sincerity of the Government in its promises of payment tor their land. Surely cynicism can hardly go beyond the exhibition these commissioners are now making at Standing Rock. This is their idea of ‘‘negotiating a treaty,’’ to threaten the other party with high-handed confiscation of theirlands if they refuse to sell them for less than they believe them to be worth to a Government whose good faith they have already had a score of reasons for doubting. We are compelled to repeat what we have said before, that the most brutal and reckless seizure of Indian lands would be less discreditable than the methods at present being employed. If the country is not again to be disgraced by the immorality and baseness of its Indian policy, the commissioners at Standing Rock must be instructed to suspend their bulldozing tactics, and to tell the In- dians that they are free to decide the question for themselves. Ina word, the country must compel Congress to stand by its own laws,and the outrageous intimation that unlese the Sionx yield to threats they will be plundered in cold blood bythe people of the United States must be repudiated and rebuked em- phatically.’’ A FATAL AFFRAY. Elisha Allen Shoots and KillsaTramp at Danville, fl. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPpaTcH. DANVILLE, III., August 7.—This morning Elisha Allen of this city attempted to rescue of drunken trawps, camped in the north west- ern part of the city. He was roughly treated by the tramps. Allen returned to town, pro- cured a warrant, and in company with John W. Halls went to assist in arresting the tramps. A scuffle ensued in which Allen shot and Eliied one of the tramps, near noon, whose name is not known here. Allen is in charge of an ofncer, Marshal Fath’s Slayer. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsratca.

ALL votes cast at the committee’s pri- maries will be honestly counted provided they show majorities for the ‘‘Comitay.” — ——— — Vores are pleasant little compliments to have around on election day, but as a means to success they cannot compare with a returning board. Se In abusing Mr. GLOvER the Republican and assistant-Republican organs of Mis- souri are merely recognizing that he is a true Democrat and a dangerous opponent. Tue gallant six hundred of the Hen- dricks Association havea stronger pullon the city treasury than the privates of the party, but the privates can outvote them at the primaries. eo )3Ghr — — Ir there is any anti-Francis feeling among the Democracy of St. Louis it is chiefly due to the bull-dozing tactics of the Francis boomers, and it is more likely to increase than to decrease if those tactics are continued. — — OO — WE are inclined to believe that some of the Democrats of St. Louis who do not live off of municipal patronage will object to having their delegations to the State Convention nominated for them in ad- vance by the Central Committee. , Bxx BUTLER says be belongs to neither party this year. This announcement ought to lift a load of anxiety from the minds of Chairmen Quay and BRICE. As long as BEN is ranging around on the outside both parties have reason to feel P Aut the charges and counter charges, the accusations and recriminations of a heated local campaign, it is refreshing to hear the olarion voice of the dis- tinguished politicalreformer, Ep BUTLER, advocating the purity of the primary elections. 1 VoorRHEsrS is sufficiently alive to make the Wabash resound with his campaign speeches. INGALLS has not silenced him But IN GA ILS himself has sat dumb and emaciated ever since his letter of advice to that Kansas delegate at Chicago was published. — e — THE entries for our Liars’ Tourney are daily increasing in number, and it bids fair to rank among the historical literary competitions of the age. The amount of material to draw from is immense if not inexhaustible, and we expect to see it heavily drawn upon in the next eleven days. A PRIMaRY held regardless of the regis - tration lists, with a Francis committee to act as a returning board and no equal representation of the various candidates in charge of the alleged voting, can be nothing but a manifest fraud. If the Democratic nomination for Governor is to be decided by a St. Louis delegation, thus packed, the kicking will not be confined to St. Louis. Harrison has made twenty-nine speeches since his nomination, and the Indianapolis Journal says they were all hummers.” Nobody ever suggested _ ‘*humming and hawing’’ in connection with the speeches of LINCOLN or GARFIELD, and none of the organs can hide the fact CCC nate municipal officials should act as judge in the primaries Mayor Francis shows a nice sense of regard for honest public opinion. The best thing about It is that this display of virtue does not cost him a cent, inasmuch as eleven out of the twenty-eight members of the Returning Board who pass on the returns of the judges hold office under the city govern- ment of which Mayor Francis is head. Ir Francis is sweeping the interior of the State, as is claimed, he can afford to abide by the result of a fair primary in St. Louls. MARMADUKE was nominated and elected without a St. Louis delegation, and in spite of the politicians who have undertaken to pack a St. Louis delega- tion for Francis. They seem eager to put FRANCIS before the people as the Demo- cratic nominee for Govergor with a worse cloud on his title to the nomination than that which rested on his election as Mayor. 3 THE arrival of BTA vn and the great de monstrations over him will be a timely obscuration of HARRISON. The effort to work up enthusiasm for the Republican nominee by forwarding conscripted dele- gations to him in carload lots has proved a dismal failure, and the sooner he is¢ ver- shadowed by BLAINE the better for his party. But Mr. BLAINR will find it harder to pull Harrison and Morton through than it was todo as much for GARFIELD and ARTHUR. The issues are as different as the men, and all the changes iv the situation have told heavily against the Republican party. THIS promises to be a year of political flops. The newspapers of both parties are filled with statements of men who declare that they intend to leave oné or the other of the two parties. Most of the alleged flops may be put down as campaign trash, pure and simple, but there is one thing about them which is significant. This is that all the flopping to the Repub- licans is done by fattened manu- facturers and rich monopolists who are sure that the Chicago platform offers better protection for their profits than the Democratio platform. They are the men who do not vote for the party or the public good, but for themselves. ü— — — - > — WHILE some of the Republican leaders are opposing the Mills bill as a free trade measure, others are opposing it as a pro- tection measure. While KI and Mo- KINLEY oppose it because it gives free lumber, free wool, free tin plate and free salt and lowers the duty on rice and sugar, Senator PLUMB of Kansas and the Chicago Tribune oppose it because it stops at free trade in the other things named and does not give free trade in rice and sugar also. This simply shows that the low tariff extremists andthe high tariff extremists of the Republican party can no more agreein framing a tariff reduc- tion measure of their own than they can in giving reusons for opposing the Mills bill. mmi © c The Regular Primaries. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: —, this morning, I beg to say that the writer to- tally misconceives the nature of the move- ment to secure fair primaries in certain of the wards ofthis city. The last Democratic City Convention and the rules of the Democratic City Committee alike de- clare that each contesting delegation shall be entitled toa judge and clerk in each poliing place. It is fairto presume that fraud is intended where this plain right is denied, as it is in over half the wards of this city to- day. Neither will the committeemen of these wards accept the official lists of the Recorder of Voters as the basis of their action. Such primaries are, to say the least, irregular., The Democrats of the party thereupon call pri- maries of the party in a regular manner. This is a reserved right ofthe party necessary to protect it against the fraud of its agents. If the manner of the election depended upon the discretion of the individual committeemen there would be no rules laid down for his guidance. The question before the State Con- vention will be: which is the regular primary, that called by the party inthe manner laid down by its authentic and publicly declared laws, and conducted under the State law upon the official list of voters required tobe used by that law, or that called by a fraudulent agent, who in departing from his instructions completely loses his authority, whoin refus- ing a judge and clerkto the opposition an- nounces his intention to commit fraud and who hae no official list of voters as required by law and therefore has no means of knowing who are proper voters and who are not. The issue will be fairly made before the con- vention, and the issue cannot be in doubt with those who know the temper of the party out- side of the large cities. If the friends of Mr. Francis desire to send any uncontested delegations to Jefferson City from St. Louis let them abandon the oon- spiracy to evade that provision of the consti- tution ofthe Democratic party of this city ex- pressed in the by-law of the City Central Com- mittee which says: In all primary elections each contesting delegation shall be entitled to name a judge and clerk of election,’’ and the difficulty will be at an end in an hour. In the event this is not done the path of the Democracy in the interior of the State will be made plain. They can strengthen the party ip the city and avoid many scandals in the future by en- forcing ‘in city primaries for State offices, equal representation in the polls ot all oon - testing delegations. In that event the city of St. Louis will become safely Democratic, be- cause the nominations will be made by the best sense of the party fairly expressed. They ean do this by establishing a precedent ia this contest that aprimary election which does not provide for equal representation inthe polls for contesting delegations is not regular. They eould strike no surer blow to strengthen the party in Southwest Missouri and in other por- tions of the State which are not reliably Dem- ooratic. The frequently disfranchised ma- jority of Democratic voters in the city of St. Louis will recognize this as an issue in which they are deeply interested. Very respectfully yours, JOHN M. GLOVER. A Boarding-House Trust, From the Pittsburg Dispatch. The latest novelty in the trust line is a com- bination of boarding-house keepers which is reported to have been formed in Jefferson- Ville, Ind. The object is not to put up the price of board—though it is quite possibie the eonsideration of that question may be under- taken by the managers later—but to secure the prompt payment of board bills. As soon asa boarder fails to settle his account on pay Gay a record of his delinquency is to be made Referring to an editorial in the Republic fot | and attempt to get board under an assumed name, an ingenious method of thwarting him is proposed. When a contract for bourd is made, a picture of the new boarder must be furnisned toe the land- lady, not for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith. The photographs or tintypes thus added to the landlady’s art collection will be used to ornament the parlor mantel while the subjects of the pictures are mem- bers of the boarding-house family in good standing. As soon as any boarder gets be- hindhand with his bills his picture can de removed from the house and sent the rounds ofall the food-furnishing establishments in the town. The landladies seem to be thor- oughly in earnest, and if their trust is properly managed the dishonest boarder must go—away from Jeffersonville, at any rate. Perhaps he will. remove across the river to Louisvilie rather than starve. Thrifty St. Louis nnn From the Detroit Free Press. For enterprise commend us to the St. Louis aldermen. Recently one of the members of that body died. The sum of $500 was appro- priated for the funeral expenses. Of this amount, one-half, or $250, was paid the pre- siding officer, who is an undertaker, and who furnished the coffin and hearse, and the other halt to three other aldermen, who are livery stable keepers. Thus the whole sum was kept within the official family. But the Auditor of the city has refused to approve the bill and it now seems probable that the deceased Alderman was buried at the minimum cost. MEN OF MARK. GEN.

HIS has been a gray =k ; day on the water, with fitful showers of rain and an al- d ) most autumn wind, but it has proved no dampener on the spirits and enthusi- asm of the Fresh Air Mission children and their mothers. Tue Grand Republic =, 2 lay at her moorings at the foot of Olive street this morning with damp decks below that the tar- Z paulin at the bows served only in a measure to protect, and as the hour of her departure on the season’s Fresh Air excursions — fifth of the drew near, the rain came down in earnest. The mothers and their little ones who had eagerly watched the skies from dawn to see what manner of weather might attend the day of all others in the week, pinned their faith to sunny breaks that could here and there be seen in the clouds and ventured out with such artificial protection as their humble belongings might afford. This wasn’t much— an extra shawl or a much-prized hood, per- haps, at the most, and it was touching to see the efforts of the mothers to protect their bables faces from the down-pour, but the xuardian of the gang-plank saw no falling off in the steady stream of excursionists that have become familiar to the Levee loungersjon Tuesday mornings. The ladies of the mission who watched the arrivals from the lower deck were pleased at seeing this evidence of continued Interest in the trips they have worked so hard to provide, and more than pleased to mark the changed appearance of almost ruddy children who a month ago were pale and clung to life only with an effort. There are dozens of such, and the sight of them rewards these sympathetic onlookers, most of whom have seen and can appreciate THE DEPTH OF MISERY and suffering which are the lot of the tene- ment-house children during the flerce heat of summer. Some one footed up the figures of the four trips made this year as compared with last season’s record, and found the com- parative totals most gratifying, the num- ber of excursionists carrie in 1887, being 6,650 against the four trips made last month. Special tick- ets are a feature now, and when some child who cannot poss{bly pass for a 6-year-old brings a recommendation froma physician, the ticket is honored and the boy or gir! al- lowed to join the younger ones. The lower deck was deserted to-day by reason the dampness, but up above the rail was lined with excursionistse.

Should Canadian cruisers try their old game of seizing American fishermen it is thought that all three ships may be sent North at the same time. The Galena, Ossippe and Yantioc are wooden war-ships of ancient type,’’ saida naval officer last night, ‘‘and it would be much better if the Navy Department would send one of the new cruisers north instead of dispatching those small vessels.

Some of the yarns are holy terrors and others are of the mildly poetic type that have their origin in the careful, almost con- sclentious imaginations of those refined young men who are known to theworld at large as com- mercial travelers. Every effort shows a lofty and 20 appreciation of the opportunity which the Post-Dispatcn is giving to the liars of the land to shine at their very bright- est. As readers of the paper already know, the ostensible incentive is the $20 prize of- fered by the Post-Disraton for the best and most beautiful lie of any kind, sent to this office in time for publication in the SUNDAY Post-DisraTcou of August 19; but the real un- derlying spirit of the contest is a friendly de- sire on the part of every liar in thé land to outsplendor every other liar and to snatch the jaurels from the brow of the present un- crowned king of liars, Joseph Mulhatton.

Yours GEORGE WASHINGTON. Farmer Murrays ‘‘Tar-Heel.” SUMMERVILLE, Nicholas Co., W. Va., August 4.—Henry Murray, a farmer of Big Lick, Poca- hontas Co., has struck on a new and success- ful plan by which to rid his farm of the thou- sands of Fg cme i m+ nna coons and other pests hich have been playing avoc with nis corn and other crops. Murra observed at all of the animals when frightened off would run along the on ot a high rail fence which ex- tended from the field into the woods. He got several gallons of tar, into which he stirred other glutinous articles over a siow fire. This sticky substance he applied to the upper surface of the top rail and the next one below. The first morning after the application of the stuff Murray started out into the field with his dogs and boys. They raiseda yelland the dogs ran, charging through the corn, frightening a large number ipmunke and several — sums and coons, whose gormandizing 8 had delayed their retreat tot — est hiding- places. The animals ran down the er — by the dozen, gumwming their feet they went. When they struck the open. w s near the fence the fun began. The gum caused the leaves and sticks to ad- here to their feet, and in falling or rolling over to get rid of them still more woul here to their sides, backs and bellies. ray, his boys and dogs killed sixty- five squirrels, thirty- tour chipmunks, three ‘coons and seven ossums that mora- ing. Some of the animals succeeded in climb- ing short distances into trees, but their feet were so covered with the sticky substance and their movements so Obstructed by their cov- ering of leaves and sticks that very few suc- ceeded in getting entirely away. It took Murray buta fewdays in which to capture and destroy the pests in his neighborhood. The story soon got out, and now all the neigh- boring country is app iying to Murray for some of his ‘‘tar-heel’’ stuff, or the recipe by which it is made. O’ MEARA. An Unexpected Visit to the Moon.

JACK BARRET. A Lally-Cooler. About 11 o’cloek one night last week a gen- tleman returning from Uhrig’s Cave heard sepulchral groans, evidently issuing froma telegraph pole in the vicinity of Jeffer’on ave- nue and Locust street.

He was conducted to a neighboring restaurant to refresh his ‘‘inner man, as it would not do to give him anything solid after so longa fast, and he is now doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances and will shortly return to his old home in the woods and resume chop- ing, as he says be feels somewhat stiff in the 2 ints after remaining so long in one position. 85 to Cincinnati and Return.

BREEDERS ATTEMPTING TO CROSS COMMON OATTLE WITH BUFFALO. What the Stockmen of Kansas and Texas Are Doing to Create a New Breed of Cattle Peouliarities and Advantages of the Mixed Stock—The Great Mistake Made Ey Most of the Breeders—Where Buffalo Are Obtained—The Mountain Bison and Its Peculiar Habits—The Last of a Race— A Veteran Stockman’s Opinion on an Attempt Which May Revolutionize the Cattle Market. „A new branch of industry has recently sprung up in Southern Kansas and Northern Texas, said J. T. Hill, Western Live Stock Agent of the Chicago & Aiton, who is in the city to-day and was seen by a Post- DIsPATOH reporter, and that is an endeavor to cross our domestic cattle with buffalo and thus pre- serve at least some trace of a distinctively American animal that has now almost en- tirely disappeared. This experiment has a sound financial as well as a sentimental basis, as the buffalo is larger and heayier than the average range steer and its meat is in some ways superior. ‘‘Orossing the breeds is by no means a new thing, as half-breeds have been in times past occasionally met with, and their beef has been pronounced better than that of either the ox or the buffalo, not having the toughness too generally characteristic of the latter, and possessing a game flavor of which the former is destitute. THE CROSSED BREED also has another point of superiority over the domestic cattle, and that is that there is less waste. The tenderloin is not so thick, but the shoulders, which in the steer are prac- tically worthless for purposes of food, are in the crossed breed, as in the pure buffalo, the choice parts. I haye seen probably half a dozen specimens of the mixed breed, and all have had a well-defined hump, from which the famous ‘hump ribs’ can be cut. At least a dozen ranchmen whom I know are trying to obtain the material for productig the cross breed, which will, at least as long as they are a rarity, command a fancy price. But so far all have made a mis- take which will, until it is corrected, prove fatal to their plans. I have been meier en for the last thirty years, runnin stock on the buffalo ranges, and know w at am talk - ing about. The new men have succeeded in obtaining a few buffalo bulls, and have put them on the range with theircattle. Now, everyone who has had any experience in the matter knows that while it is perfectly easy to cross the buffalo cow with the domestic stock the process cannot be reversed. In every in- stance that has come under my observa- tion, and they are not a few, the cow has died in giving birth to the _ calf and the calf has nearly always followed its mother. Butinthe reversed process no such difficulty is encountered and the calves are remarkably strong and hardy. If this method is followed weshall have a class of stock which is peculiar to this country and which, I believe, will be better for food than any beef now on the market. But the system at 3 pursued is bound to prove a fail- ure WHERE BUFFALO CAN BE OBTAINED. „There has been great difficulty experi- enced, Mr. Hill went on to say, in obtain- ing buffalo to start the new breed. As far as I know there are but three herds now left,one in Northwestern Texas, near the southern line of No Man's Land, numbering about 180; one in Eastern New Mexico, about or 40 strong, and another in Dakota near the British line. All these are carefully preserved by the owners of the ranges, and command a high price, from $75 to $150 a head. The Texas owner only sells a few Ai ear, being determined to prevent his he rom dying out. To the best of my belief these are the sole remnants, outside of the mbnageries, of the countless herd that fifteen years ago o covered the plains. There are believed to be a few specimens of the plains buffalo to be met with in the Yel- lowstone Park, but I do not know whether this is true or not. Of mountain buffalo there are unquestionably some to be found in the Neue parts of the Wind River and Cour D’- lene 9 The mountain buffalo is * pinlo in no way distinct a, that of "ane prairies, although many hold 8 opinion. I believe that ney ore simply the descendants of those that have wandered off into the hills, and never regained the open country. THE MOUNTAIN BISON. As a rule they are much smaller than their progenitors, and differfrom them somewhat in color, the tawny hide and mane being re placed by nearly jet black. The hair is thicker, — because of the greater cold to be en- dured, andthe robes softer andfiner. Tha Indians always valued a mountain robe much more highly than one from a plalns buffalo, and when they obtained one were by no means anxious to sell it. These animals are extreme! ah and at every suspicious noise will hi 0 themselves in the deepest ravines. Se few are they in numbers and so hard to discover, that it is regarded as a greater feat to kill one than to get the horns ot a mountain sheep, There are unquestionably, a number of these animals left, and by careful and systematic hunting some might be captured. But the herds already in hand will, if properly man- aged, furnish a sufficient nue eus for the mixed breed. and I believe that within a few years half-bred buffaloes will not be un- common, as several large cattlemen have determined to do their best to obtain them.

TROUBLE WIL SPRINKLING BILLS. Difficulty Found in Identifying the Property- Owners. The clerks in the Collector's office are ha v ing a great deal of trouble with the sprinkling bills sent to the Collector’s office from the City Hall. These bills, instead of giving the name of the street the assessed party resides on, simply give the number of the block. The re- sult of the omission is that a gentleman with a common name like John Smith, for instance, has to canvass the block and ascertain whether there is anybody by his name living in the square before he can be positively certain that he is paying his own bill and not the bill of somebody éise. The bills, however, have not only caused the Collector’s clerks troubie, but have also resulted in a hardship to many tax- ayers who have had to make the trip to the ‘ty Hall, where the bills were made out, in or- der to have their assessment identified.

By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcn. New Yoru, August 7.—Mr. Robert Garrett, who is sick at the Brevoort House, requifes a | Y great deal of watching. His three doctors are arranging their visits so that he is hardly ever without one of them in attendance. The re- port current last October of his brain being affected has been revived, but the physicians say that the trouble appears to be rather with his nerves than with his head. It was said yesterday that his general condition was im- proved, and that he had steadily gained since leaving Richfield Springs last Thursday. On Sunday night Mr. Garrett, under the influence of a hypodermic injection that contained only a little morphine, slept four hours straight away. Then he had a brief restless spell, but fell asleep again and did not wake for two hours. Yesterday morning be said he felt refreshed. eae Gag ood day he acquired an appetite and dra milk and ate some fruit. * Was quite matter of fact in his de - — 1. gong A and told Dr. Edward T. Partridge that he was foolish to wor 80 much over his troubles and that he would try not to do so any more.

Mr. Gould has now a force of thirteen carriers, and when.he took charge of this department one yearago had but three car- riers to cover a territory of five miles square. The mail business is daily increasing. The Money Order De 2 is greater than that of Station A or C put together, as does also the postal service. It is probable that the Western f eel mills will resume operations under the old manage- ment, St. Louis Ore and Steel Co., about the ‘first of next October. old managers the Ore and Steel Co., after a three years’ successful business. The officials of the steel mills deemed it not wise to allow the public to know what action they would take in running the works, but fr6m sources that. are substantial in every particular, aspeedy resumption of the milis may be looked for. Next Monday a general cleaning up of the mills and yards will begin. Numerous repairs will be made to the machin- ery. The Jupiter furnace stock-house that was destroyed by fire last June will be re- placed by a tron and brick structure. The Bridal Bulletin.

What to drink and what not to drink are questions that seem daily to become more and more dificult of solution. The lining of soda water fountains and the composition of fia- voring extracts have been matters of public interest, and beer and all malt and vinous beverages bave been condemned by many on general principles. The latest attack is made Spon the sparkling, eflerveseing liquids put in tiles and sold as soda, sarea- ale, ginecr ale, eto. It is reported that here great many cases in the differ- ent hospitals of the city, and practitioners who have been interviewed al! assert that they have remarked an increase of patients suffer- ing from lead-poisoning recently in their private practice, The matter was recently made the subject of a paper , before the Practitioners’ Club of Newark, N. J., by Dr. Charles F. J. Lehlbach, and reference “thereto, as well as interviews with several prominent hysicians, discloses that we the last few years frequent cases of lead 8 g of the colicky form have attracted the attention of the pro sesion to the fact that new causes must be searched out for the increasing danger. Beyond a reasonable doubt, it is said, in a large num these cases the introduc- tion of the metalinto the system has been by means of s0da water.

By Telegraph to the Post-DisPatcn. New Yoru, August 7.—Mr. Robert Garrett, who is siek at the Brevoort House, requifes a great deal of watching. His three doctors are arranging their visits so that he is hardly ever without one of them in attendance. The re- port current last October of his brain being affected has been revived, but the physicians say that the trouble appears to be rather with his nerves than with his head. It was said yesterday that his general condition was im- proved, and that he had steadily gained since leaving Richfield Springs last Thursday. On Sunday night Mr. Garrett, under the influence of a hypodermic injection that contained only a little morphine, slept four hours straight away. Then he had a brief restless spell, but fell asleep again and did not wake for two hours. Yesterday morning he said he felt refreshed. 2 day he acquired an appetite an milk and ate some fruit. . * — — matter of fact in his de- mean ade and told Dr. Edward T.

He is very subject to change, and because he fools better one da his re are y A ~ means certain he will not be worse the n „Mr. Garrett 2 8 — peony, in my opin- ion,’’ said Dr. Partridge. ‘‘His trouble Is with his nervous system. He also has great trouble with his stomach and digestive organs. He is ve Lom, tut isin noimmediate danger. In fact, ve much encou t the way he 7 90028 up within the last few days. But the improvement may only tem- beg. I. Metoalfe and Dr. Partridge had an informal consultation about the * — last night. Dr. Ward remains with Gar- rett every night. A. H. Crane, . Garrett’s private secretary, said that plans were in progress for taking Mr. Garrett to the sea - shore and that the family would probably leave the city with him this afternoon. They decided last night where * . Tuey had been trving to get a cottage. r. Orane said Mr. Garrett was suffering from the ill from a éffects of a ee e due to getting ac plunge bath at Richfield Springs. His ailment was notin his brain, and all stories to that effect were sensational and without any foundation. Mr. Crane was kept busy a answer- me inguiring after Mr. Garrett's messages come from abroad. Col, John 1— homas and Howard Munickhuy- sen of Baltimore and John K. Cowen, counsel for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, galled es- terday, but were not permitted to * Garrett. Carondelet Jottings. The Rev. Wm. Johnson will preach to-night at the Gospel Tent.

Mr. Gould has now a force of thirteen carriers, and when he took charge of this department one yearago had but three car- riers to cover a territory of five miles square. The mail business is daily increasing. The Money Order a gorge ig groaterthan that of Station A or C put together, as does also the postal services. It is probable that the Western Steel mills will resume operations under the old munage- ment, St. Louis Ore and Steel Co., about the first of next October. To-day the Western Steel Corporation turned over the mill to the * 8 the Ore and Steel Co., after thre years’ successful business. The officials of the steel mills deemed it not wise to allow the public to know what action they would take ln running the works, but t sources that are substantial in every particular, aspeedy resumption of the mills may be looked for.

THE TROUBLES IN HAYTI. Ae Attache of the New York Consulate Ex- » plains the Situation. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPATCH. New Yoru, August 7.—Mr. E. D. Bassett, the Consul-General of Hayti at this port, is now at Port-au-Prince, and has been there since the firing of the city on July 7. Frequent letters have been received from him since the troubles began in the capital, and the latest advices received from him, day before yester- day, report complete quiet on the island throughout the city. An official attached to the consulate.said yesterday, referring to the recent pu ations: oy cannot im- for such statements as have been printed in New York, rapine, looting and murder. To sure, there were two disastrous fires inthe capital, but there was no looting and onlya single case of detected incendiarism and the drunken culprit after a fair trial was summarily shot. Nor was there any assault on an American lady by our soldiers, ashas been reported. There is only one American lady in Port- au- Prince, and sheisthe wife of the American Minister,Mr.Thompson. Of course,when one- eighth of the city, embracing a population of 48,000, is burned up, there is naturally great excitement and exaggeration. **‘Now as to the statement that President Solomon has sent $8,800,000 out of the country as a personal nest-egg for future uses, that is preposterous on its face. There is not that amount of ready coin inthe whole country. Hayti has, in fact, a contract with the credit industries of France, which collect the reve- nue and bank it, and thereforethe President bas no actual control over the funds of the Republic. Indeed, he is far from being the rich man he is represented. He has a salary of $25,000 a year. As for being a voodooist he is, in fact, like his wife, a devout Roman Catholic, the religion of the country, and a close personal friend of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Hayti, which, like the Latin powers of Europe, has a concordal with the Pope. And that was the reason of the recent dis- turbance?’’ „es, an idea Bot abroad that President Solomon was about to retire voluntarily from nis post to which he had been re-elected for a term to expire in 1889. When he observed the signs he publicly declared he would remain until bis term expired and reinforced the en’ darmerie in Port-au-Prince by 3,000, and hus secured bimself alnst any sudden coup. The two aspirants for his place were Senator Legitime and Deputy F. Manigut, and for these the President sent and they were in- duced to become voluntarily exiles from the country.’’ Have you any further apprehension of trouble?’’ troops are armed with Remington rifies. As island can be made to prevail the present Government will stand. The commercial! in- terests involved are great for from New York alone the exports to Hayti amount $50,000,- 000 annually while the imports..are about ,000, i — ag of population to look after, and these ] Trunks, Trunks, Trunks.

By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr ATR. SARATOGA, N. Y., August 7.—The Saratoga event last evening was the billiard tourna- ment which began in the hall at 9 o’clock. At that hour a select number occupied elevated seats around a billard table, and among the audience were many ladies, leaders in the summer social life of Saratoga. The male portion of the gathering included Judges Brady and Truax, ex-Judge Hilton, Hugh F. Farrington, ex-Judge Horace Russell, Augus- tus H. Docharty, John F. Harriott, Edward Kearney, Harold Bevins, the Dwyer brothers, Joseph Cotton, the amateur billard crack; Police Justice Andrew J. White, Wm. H. Van Tassell, Billy Edwards andthe member from Sligo, Dennis Burns. Editor King, before presenting the contest- ants, announced that the tournamant was for a purse of $1,000, subscribed by the leading hotels, of which $500 would go to the winner, $300 to the second and $200tothe third, the game to be cushion carroms, 200 points, ona 5x10 table. Maurice Daly and Wm. Sexton were then in- troduced as the opening competitors of the tournament. Daly wonthe lead and retired with 4to his credit. Sexton followed with 1. Goose eggs were the result of the next innings for both, and Daly took off his steel- pen coat, and thus relieved of handi- cap, succeeded in adding 6 to his string. Sexton appeared to be in poor form and luck, and it was not until the sixth inning that he added to bis, obtaining twelve points by good all-round play. Daiy’s next two in- nings netted him 7 and 6, while Sexton’s iill- luck continued, only making 3 and 8 in four innings. Twos and ones followed with un- varying regularity for each in the next four innings, until Daly broke the monotony with 6 points, the score at the twentieth inning standing 47 for Daly, 83 for Sexton. This was the nearest Sexton got during the rest of the game, as Daly, by good nursing, drew 15 from the ivories. Dull play was relieved in the twenty-sixth inning by Daly making8 and a cipher intervened between thatrun and 16 in the twenty-eighth. Another goose egg and then with arun of 13 the marker announced, 100 for Daly and 49 for Sexton.’’ Sexton, with a look at Tom Ochiltree, mur- mured something about a Jonah“ as he sat down and removed his coat. But it was too late; fate appeared against him and his best runs in the next seventeen innings after the marker announced the score were 8, 5, 9 and6. Daly on the contrary es In good form, and was aided in his three runs of 11 each and an 18 by lucky kisses. Sexton got the ivories in the corner in the forty- sixth inning and missed with only 2 added to his score. Daly then held them there and sat down with 30 to hiscredit, following it with 15, which ended the game with a score of 200 against Sexton’s 92. The score by inning was: Daly—4, 0, 2, 6,1, 2, 7, 6, 0, 0,0, 7, 1. 2 1, 6, 0,0, F. 18, 6, 4, 0, 0, 8, . 16, pe. 18. 0, . 4.1.18. 0; 0. 1, 1,0, C. 3, ö, 11. 0, 7. 30, 18.

Important Matters to Be Brought Before It —The Delegates. By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 7.—The special meeting of the American Association at the Continental Hotel to-day promises to be one of the most memorable dase ball gatherings ever held. For the first time since all the as- sociations have been under the national agreement serious charges will be preferred by one club against another. to be avery full attendance of delegates. President Chris Von der Ahe is bere with his club and President Wheeler Wikoff registered at the Continental to-day. Congress- man John J. O’ Neil, who is to representthe St. Louis Club, and President Von der Ahe, came up from Washington to- night. Representatives of ‘the Cincinnati, Louisville, Kansas City and Cleveland clubs arrived at 4 o’clock this morning and the Brooklyn and Baltimore delegates are ex- pected on early trains. President Von der Ahe said to a reporter that he would push the charge against Presi dent Byrne and compel the Association to take some action. ith reference to the charges against Umpire Ferguson, President Von der Ahe said there was more or less talk. I never said Ferguson was intentionally dishonest,’’ sald Mr. Von der Ahe. Al my charges are against Byrne. I see that Byrne is anxious to allow newspaper reporters in the meeting. That is at least what he says. Now that suits me exactly, and I will vote for such a proposition.’’ The Brooklyn Club has another fight on hand, and one that is iikely to cost it $1,500. The charges are for ——_ the club off the field at Kansas City. President Byrne claims that it is Kansas City and not the Brooklyn Club that should pay, the fine, and he will en- deavor to prove it the Association. The question of making a general reduction of the price of admission from 50to25 ceuts will again be brought up, and it is probable that Baltimore, Louisville and St. uis will be voted the privilege of charging 2% cents.

We want to pull that flag to St. Louis this year, to show the League people that the Browns can lay ball with them any day in the week. hy, I, for one, will chip in to help buy a — er to help you and ‘Hud’ out, said Mil- igan, enthusiastically. ‘‘All the boys feel the same way, but it’s mighty hard to get hold of the right kind of a man.’’ This offer of Milligan oe | shows the in the Br splendid feeling existing own Stock- ing camp and speaks volumes for Comiskey’s control of his men and their — feeling toward him and the esident. President Von der Ahe is doing his best to hold of another first-class pitcher, and if his offers for Ramsey, Chamberlain or Crane are accepted, either of thethree men will help out the Browns greatly in their fight for leading honors the rest of the season. As it is the spirit of determination so strongly manifest all along the champions’ line will go a great way toward winning games, and if King and Hudson continue on their triumph- ant march, the champions will win the pen- nant without any outside assistance. The Great Athletics Coming. To-morrow night the Browns and Athletics leave Philadelphia for St. Louis, and on Fri- day afternoon they will meet at Sportsman’s Park to continue their struggle for champion- ship honors. Three games will consti- tute the series and they promise to be three of the biggest games played in St. Louis this season. The rivalry between the two, teams is of a bitter nature, and the struggles ensuing will be characterized by great ball playing. Both teams have settied down to the stern reality of an unprecedentedly grand battle, the greatest in the his- tory of the erican Association. The Athletics knocked the Browns out of firat place in 1883, and Capt. Stovey says since Curt Welch and Billy Gleason have joined them, the Athletics will doit again. At any rate, the base ball patrons of St. uls will have a feast set before them, in the com- ing games, in which, theycan ‘‘toast’’ their enthusiasm and yell for dear life to their heart’s content, The opportunity will be lat All the opportunity wants is the peo- ple. Grand Stand Chat. orien Clarkson has signed withthe Buffalo ub. Patsy Cahill has been released by the Worcester Club. Galvin and Morris of the Pittsburg Club are jeaious of each other. Darby O’Brien has succeeded Dave Orr as Captain of the Brooklyn Club. Carroll of Pittsburg made bis first home run of the season at Detroit Saturday. The Browns will win one game in Philadel- hia, atleast. They will at any rate come ome in the lead. Capt. Anson said previous to atartin the team would return in the lead, an the pennant is safe. Cleveland has always, heretofore, been weak in batteries, but in O’Brien and Bakely the club has two most effective pitchers. 1 Comiskey and his ‘‘warriors bold“ will be home Friday morning. That they will be royally welcomed goes without saying. Arlie Latham stole second and third in the oe inning recently, and then he said: Did you see me get a divorce from those bags?’’ Robinson is playing phenomenal ball on this trip. He is flelding, batting and running bases in a style which fairly astonishes the natives of the East. The Louisville club isthe best equipped of any Association team in pitchers—having Ew- ing, Chamberlain, Hecker, Ramsey and Strat- that then Umpire Gaffney thinks the way to stop kick- ing is to give the fines to the umpire. Gaff says rather than put money in the umpire’s pocket the players will keep still. Brooklyn with Caruthers, Foutz, Hughes, Terry and Maysto officiate in the pitcher’s box, has not fared anywhere near as well as the Browns with King and Hudson. Boston is patching up all sorts of schemes to get Joe Quinn of Des Moines. It they let him play second all the time be will likely go with them, butifthey don’t promise that he will never go. Chicago would make a great bid for the pen- nant with one good pitcher like Keefe. ith the present wild twirlers it will be almost an impossibibility to beat out the ‘‘Giants.’’ The season’s work in the Association has clearly demonstrated that stars do not bring victory, but good, hard pulling together is what tells on the ball field or in the battle field. Comiskey is the best general on the field to-day. Among the causes advanced for the New Yorks’ easy victory at Boston are soreness of the hands of Kelly and Johnston, Morrill’s lacerated finger, Ray's lame ankle, Rad- 88 pitching, Boston’s inability to hit Welch, New Lork's excellent fielding and batting, and insubordination.—[New York Teiegram. Ed Crane of the New Yorks pitched fort€the Philadelphia combination teamin San Fran- cisco last winter. He downed the Browns on several occasions and Comiskey knows and values his merit. It President Von der Ahe se- cures him from the New York Club the Browns will win the championship without any fur- ther trouble. Mr. James V. Byrne, one of the handsomest of the fat men who played for the benefit of the little waifs, at Sportsman’s Park, last Saturday, came near creatig a panic last „ by circulating a report that the Browns had beaten the Athletics, and had made twenty-five hits off Weyhing. Several people who bet on the misinformation are looking for Jim with a big club.

How absurd it was for a Philadelphia paper, a short time ago, to accuse this tried old player with dissipation while in the Quaker City. He has always been temperate in bis habits and ambitions. He has studied law in his spare moments, and has been admitted to the bar. Would thatthe profession had a few more of his kind. Bell Boy’s Sensational Price, By Telegraph to the Posr-DisrA TCR. NEW YORK, August 7.—In the last number of the Turf, Field and Farm appeared an editorial in whicn it was stated that horsemen were in- clined to look with suspicion upon the recent sale of Bell Boy, at which the young stallion was reported to have been sold for „000, the highest price ever paid for a horse in this country. It was intimated that the sale wasa . job between John 8. Clark and D. 0. aman, who were the only bidders, with the single object of achieving a ‘‘fictitious repu- tation for Bell Boy.’’ Mr. Seaman lives at San Diego,Cal.,and is at resent in Buffalo. Mr. Clark lives at New runswick, N. J. Hesaid yesterday: The intimation that there was anything under- handed in the sale isa gratuitous falsehood. The horse was put up for sale because Mr Jefferson, who owned him in partnership with Mr. Seaman, wanted tosell his share. Mr. Seaman had the same right to bid as any- one else and it was so understood at the time. He anal were genuine bidders, for we both wanted the horse. Ido not consider $50,000 an extravagant price for Bell Boy for he is only 8years old, he stands at $500, and his boo of forty mares for next season is already filled. Atthis rate he will more than pay for himself in three years and will then be wey yaeee old. True, he will stay in Ken- tucky, and he would have stayed there if I had secured him, because think that the best place to 8 astallion. It is not true, ag the Turf says, that Bell Boy has not chan hands for he bas become the ssion of Mr. Seaman solely. The on 7 person who has been benefited y the i high } oe obtained has been Mr. Jefferson, who got more out ot it than he would have if he ad sold bis share atthe rate forwhich the horse was purchased from Senator Stock- bridge of chigan. Itis true that the sale was — advertised as the Tur/, Field and Farm says, but the one sporting paper re- . the sale in a business-like manner. erhaps this fact explains why the Turf treats it in so exceptional astyle. I have my- self entered my best mares to Bell Boy for the mext three years, and that ought to show what I really think of him. By Telegravh to the PostT-Disraton. BurraLo, N.

Park is a very lively place. Hundreds of: vis- itors have been out to see the horses take their work on the reconstructed track and quarters, halves and miles have been carefully timed.. The universal verdict is that the track is safe and fast. Thousands of dollars have been spent on it, but the grades are nothing like what they were when Dexter made his reeord here of 2:17 twenty-one years ago. Buildings have gone up like magic on the grounds, and an army of laborers are working at night by electric light: The tovn is full of strangers, and feverish excitement prevails everywhere. There will be lively contests to-day, but a sensational race is on the cad for Thursday. The two great 4-year- olds from Kentucky, Susie 8. and Hourl, are doing remarkably well in their work, and among the Northern-bred 4-year-olds named against them is Mamie Wood, owned by Con- ressman Wood of Elmira. Some predict the -year-old record of Manzanita—2:16—will be equalled. A general topic of discussion is the race be- tween Clingstone and Belle Hamlin, set down for Friday. The betting is even and an enor- mous crowd will witness the battle. Cling- stone arrived yesterday with his stable com- panion Guy, and some of the shrewd ob- servers are of the opinion that the latter will beat both Prince Wilkes and Rosalind Wilks. Guy is a very fast horse.It is only a question of how he will behave in 8 Mr. Iugerly, the owner of Prince Wilkes, is here and he is confident that he has the champion trotter of 1888. Doble wants fo pace Johnston against time, but thus far he has not come to terms with the management. Running Races. The winners yesterday at brighton Beach were Youghiogheny, Eatontown, Ten Strike, Relax, Effie Hardy, Jim Clare. Turf Notes. It is probable that Elkwood, Terra Cotta, Firenzi and Montrose will meet in a special mille and a half race at Monmouth before the meeting closes. Pittsburg Phil is reported to have lost $25,000 on racing at the Eastern meetings in the past six weeks. His $150,000 can’t stand such a drain very long. Compared with our horses, L. E. Myers, the runner, thinks the Australians the better stay- ers, but hardly as fleet as ours in 9 He goes so far as to cqnsider Dunlop able to beat The Bard. Grimaldi, D. T. Pulsifer’s 5-year-old son of Lisbon and Nora, landed a three-quarter dash at Monmouth Park, last Saturday, in 1:13%, and it is said that Dave had a pocketful of tickets that read $800 against $100, the cur- rent odds. There don’t seem to be an — the matter with Dave's luck since he sold „Old Tax. The Latonia Jockey Club of Covington 1 Ky. ng o the stakes for the fixed events of the spring meeting of 1890—the Derby, the Oaks and the Himyar stakes. Instead of January 15 next they will close August 15, at which time the additional stakes for the coming fall meeting will also close. The income of Woods, the English jockey, four years previous to the presentone has averaged ,000 perannum for his services. In addition to this his income is largely in- creased by his hotel and a great deal of real estate at Newmarketand a cooperage at Lime- house. He has a residence at Newmarket and a house at Brighton, owns £12,000 in consols, etc. It is said that Appleby & Johnson, who ro- cently bought the year ing. King Thomas, at the Haggin sale for $38,000, and sold him to Senator Hearst for $40,000, have decided to dispose of their entire stable of thorough- breds. If they carry out this plan, it is robable that Hayward, the well-known Jockey. will enter upon a long engagement with Mr. Belmont. As to the Junior Champion Stake, to be run next Saturday, it promises to be a great race, with twenty starters, and it really looks as if there might be that number. It will be worth about „000 to the winner, $2,000to the sec- ond and $1,000 to the third. Last year it was worth nearly $19,000 to the Dwyer Bros., who won with Kingfish. Leaving The Bard out al doubtful, itis thought that the starters wils include Elkwood, urus, Linden, Kingston, Connemara, Firenzi, Kaleidoscope, Taragon, Sir Dixon Surinam, Raceland and possibly Los Angeles. White and the spider“ Matched. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcH. New YORK, August 7.—A fight for 41, 000 a side was arranged yesterday at Kearns’ Hotel, Fordham, between Ike Weir, the “Belfast Spider,’’ and Frank White. A prelimina deposit of $100 was put up for each man an left with Thomas Kearns. A $150 deposit must be made by each side on August 15 and a deposit is to follow on August 30.

N Mathew Carleton of Montgomery, Ala., met with a peculiar death yesterday. His hogse had fallen into an old well about 100 feet deep. Carleton was looking down at it when he lost his balance and fell in. The horse in his struggles kicked Carleton to death. Two physicians of Palma, Ky., named B. F. Frank and Beil Griffith, got into a dispute over an old question which had long been un- settled between them. Frank pulled a pistol and Griffith a knife. Frank fired and missed and before he could shoot again Griffith had cut him fatally. John Fraser, manager of a plantation near Jackson, Misa., got into a row with a negro hand. The negro attacked him with a pistol. Fraser in return emptied two loads of buck- shot into him without effect. The negro see- ing Fraser’s gun empty deliberately walked up and emptied his revolver with fatal effect. HOTEL PERSONALS, W. E. Rockwell, Annapolis, Md.,and O.
