JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 6.—A bird’s eye view from the mountain side this morning shows that the waters in the Conemaugh Valley have subsided almost to their usual level. With the receding waters the sceneof desolation becomes hourly more weird and picturesque, Like a desert swept by some fierce simoon, the valley level is an unbroken plain for miles only at last to find abrupt termination in a mountain of dobris that found lodgmeént in some projecting rock, which, like Ajax, defied the fury of the ele. ments. The sun shines brightly o’er Cambria land this morning, and as the pasto- ral population hastens down the mountain side early in the morning, the scene reminds one of some festal day rather than an eager gathering ata field of horrors. The work recovering the dead goes on with undimine A Street Scene in Johnstown, ished vigor, and as the workmen become 30. customed to their ghastly finds and the hore rors of the scene become commonplace, they apply themselves more diligently to theilt duty and labor with a system that produces rapid results. A BUSY DELEGATION. The Altoona delegation has been one of the busiest and most useful on the ground. They took charge of the two leading hospitals, the Cambria Hospital and that under Dr. Robin- son in Johnstown, and ran them up to this morning, when they were relieved by the Philadelphia Branch of the Red Cross Society, under Clara Barton. They have also been ia charge of the wreckage above the bridge. B. M. Bunker of Altoona bas had sixty men at work aided by Dave Kirk, whois doing the dynamiting. Altoona pays all the bills for this work. This party of workmen have done so well that a big blast of twenty-five dyna- mite cartridges at 10 o’clock loosened up the debris and made it possible to open the mouth: of the old channel. THE WRECKED EXPRESS TRAIN. The same gang of workmen have located the day express which was swept away at Cones maugh. The ruins of the train lie about ong hundred feet from the fourth buttress from the western end of she stone bridge. Parts of the parior car have to-day been found as well as traces of the passengers.

This enraged Mr. Flynn, and, after telling them that he thought he was used to as good eating as they were, he ordered the guards to take the men outof town and not permit them to come back again. This seemed to have the desired effect and there was no more trouble. This morning twenty time- keepers trom Pitteburg arrived and they are now hard at work getting the names of the men employed. by to-morrow at least 10,000 men will be em- ployed, but even this large force of men will not be able to remove the debrisin less than several weeks. TENTS NEEDED. Last night about 500 ofthe laborers had no tents to sleep in, but word has been received from Washington that tents are on their way and itisexpected that they will arrive to- Bight. Sheriff McCandless and W. 8. Brown of Pittsburgare on duty at the labor camp. Shortly after midnight a riot was reported at Cambria City, and word was sent to Ad- jutant-General Hastings requesting a detach- ment of soldiers. He immediately ordered one of the companies of the Fourteenth Regi- ment to the plece, but when they arrived there they found that there was little or no necessity for their services. The only trouble atthe place was between some drunken Ital- lane who were making idle threats that did not amount to anything. Adjatant-General Hastings reports every- thing quict last night and this morning and states that there is no truth in the report that he was goingto order out the Tenth Regi- ment. Said he: **There is no necessity for troops, only for gusrd duty, andif l order out any regiment at all, it will be the Eighteenth Regiment. We heve no tents, and the men have to sleep in cars. The soldiers are getting down to work and guards are posted at the stone bridge and it is impossible now to get into Johnstown witb- outapass. The Fourteenth Regiment boys are being well fed, but they are compelled to work and work bard. UNIDENTIFIED BODIES. There are at present thirty unidentiried Ward School house. These bodies have been lying there for the past three days and in that time at least forty thousand people have viewed them, but no one has identified them, and they have notn- ing in their clothing to Indicate who they are. During the past twenty-four hours sixty bodies were embalmed and taken from this place. This morning five bodies were brought in. Their names are: Henny LUDWIG, No. 6 Main street, Johns town. ALBERT WERRY, Johnstown. Maden IRWIN, Hillside, County. Os8CaAR HENNECAMP, Johnstown. The latter is a well-known merchant of Johnstown and his relatives have been look- ing for his body since the flood and offered a large reward for the recovery of the body. THE OITIZENS’ COMMITTEE ACTIVE. There was considerable activity at the head Westmoreland This morning it was stated that 6,000 men are at work, and itis expected that the total was notmore than 13,000, and per- haps 12,500. This registration not only com- prehends the population of Johnstown and adjoining towns, w braces places region, the ot which was cluding villages, farms. airman gation, who has been all over since Sunda to 14,000, and he of all sorts of people. former residents and of a familiar population is most striking. There are thousands of strangere and workmen from a distance here, but for the first days the one perpetual question was Where are the tg snd Here are about ten thousand; where are rest?“ UNDER MARTIAL LAW. At noon to-day the boroughs of Johnstown and the adjoining boroughs, or what is left of them, practically — under martial law. Adjutant-General Hastings says he has vot de- clared martial iaw yet. The soldiers are on guard and no one is permitted to enter unless they have an order from the Adjutant-General. The sight-seers are barred altogether and the town is inaccessible except to newspaper men and other people who have business there. Every point is guarded and soldiers patrol the dividiug lines. They are very actiye, and * deport them- selves like old veterans. hey guard the approaches and have ordersto stop any one who crosses the line.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 6.—Notwithstanding the fact that nearly every prominent city in the United States ts raising a fund for the Oonemaugh sufferers, the wants of the home- less and afflicted are far from being alleviated. At the various relief stations the crowd of ap- plicants is continuous from morning till night, and many of the needy are forced to wait in line for hours before their turn comes and . , „N. Vy, 2 2 9 ‘by * * ) THE DAM AT SUUTH FORK LAKE. The view is taken from a point below the dam and shows the peculiar way in which the water cut through it. The backward soldiers. at first of was regiment General at would naturally create the impression that there was trouble here. There was only one reason for calling out the troops, viz., to re- lieve the Pittsburg and Johnstown policemen, who have had little or no sleep for several days past. -— — BREATHE A LITTLE EASIER. Seven Cars of Supplies Keach Williamsport — Cases of Suffering. WILLIAMSPORT, Pa., June 6.—The people breathe a little easier now that all apprehen- sions of further suffering from hunger have disappeared. The seven cars of supplies brought up yesterday evening by the Secretary of the Commonwealth are ready £0 be unloaded and work will begin some time to-day. The track is not repaired far enough to bring the cars opposite the city, and the boate cannot get down to where they are. Before evening they will be reached. The Mayor this mornin telegraphed the Governor that enough pro visions are on the way to last our people for several days. The Relief Committee have been exceedingly busy, and are con- stantly findin cases of suffering. The cash contributions from our own citi- zene amount to $12,000. A dispatch from Grand Fork, Dak., says a carioad of grain has been sent from there to our sufferers. The track on the Linden Branch will be completed to- Gay and trains can then run through to Ty- rone. The river is now down to seven feet at this place. The body of Calvin Miller, who has been missing since the Maynard street bridge went down, has been fonnd at Montoursville, four miles below here. This makes two lives only lest at the Maynard street bridge instead of the large number which was falsely reported as having been drowned. A TOTAL WRECK. Adjutant- | their little ordering out any troops from the fact that it ortion is allotted out to them. Hundreds of thousands of dollars must pour into this stricken valley if positive suftering and privation is to be avoided. Thousands of eopie are homeless and in these devastated omes thousands also lost their all. Labor and manufacturing of nearly every kind is at a stand-still in the valley, and weeks or months must elapse before the Cambria iron- works and other industrial institutions can possibly resume and give employment to the thousands that depend upon them for sup- port. Even at the present time there are hun- dreds of hungry people in the Conemaugh Valley who have no certainty of a breakfast to-morrow. Yet the country seems impressed with the idea that their every want is being complied with and that physical suffering is at an end. Telegraphic expressions of sym- athy are pouring in from every city and orough throughout the land, but substantial evidences of sympathy are badiy wanting. It is not possible that, while people read, won- de r and 7 every man expects his neighbor to give or thinks that ere bis donation would arrive in the valley actual necessity would be atan end. THE CORPSES. Soiled and Mangled Condition of the Bodies Recovered. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 6.—A fact tnat has been heretofore overlooked in the awful strain isthe soiled condition of the corpses. Fully one-third of those recovered bave been 80 mangied, bruised or charred that identifi- cation was impossible. In an ordinary flood this would not have been the case, but here human bodies were but the filling-in of a mountain-like mass of houses,railroad tracks, trains and other debris, which went crunch- ing and crashing through a valley three miles long. How any of life’s clay retained form or semblance is enigmatical. All day long yesterday the corpses were be- ing hurried below ground.

Then everybody became alarmed. The top ot the dam began to be washed away. Deeper and deeper grew the hole until 3 o’clock, when the entire wall wen off. It was an awful moment, I stood just te yards away from where the dam went. The entire wali which filled that immense hole you see before you tore itself loose and moved down into the meadows as a wagon on a greased track. It was awful, and Ishball never forget it. First, when the ground got loose and the water shot through a narrow space in the wall you could hear a hissing, whistling noise, very much like a dog will make when he has ot a bone and you want totake itaway from Sime. The noise increased, became louder and louder, the hissing grew into a rumdlin sound, then it became aroar, until it foun ita climax in the loud thunder of a wild storm. quarters of the Citizens’ Committee this morn- Ing.

The obvious mission of a strong British naval force in the North Pacifico is merely to watch our proceedings under the re- cent proclamation, and, if opportunity offers, compel us to define our Behring Sea claim more clearly. The truth is that we have been beating around the bush and hinting to other countries that we would like to have them concede to us an exceptional jurisdiction over Behring Sea, which we and they re- fused to concede to Russia, and our only title to which is the quitclaim that Russia “threw in“ to us when we pur- chased Alaska and the Seal Islands. But we have carefully avoided any distinct exercise or responsible assertion of this exceptional jurisdiction, either by judicial decision, act of Congress or executive proclamation. The act of Congress under which the President issued his recent proclamation of warning to intruders upon the do- “minion of the United States within the “Behring Sea’’ did not define that do- minion or assert apy jurisdiction beyond the usual marine league from land, and the proclamation was just as vague and evasive as the act of Congress. Nor could it be otherwise, since the question of iu- ternational law involved has not yet been passed upon by our own courts. The Ca- nadian vessels taken as seal poachers were released partly because of a defect in the act constituting the Alaska court which sustained the capture, and partly because their condemnation might oper- ate adversely to the position we were then maintaining in the Cana- dian fishery controversy. in the existing situation of affairs Mr. BayaRpD thought it safer to leave the Behring Sea question unsettled and secure protection of the seal fisheries by a joint agreement with other nations. . If the proclamation foreshadows the capture of British vessels caught taking seals in Behring Sea more than a marine league from land and within no land- locked bay, the presence of a strong British naval force in the vicinity fore- shadows as certainly a denial of our right to exercise any such jurisdiction. A def- inite issue will then be presented for ad- judication by the courts and for arbi- tration or treaty settlement. But the danger of war growing out of it is very remote. —̃ͤ——V—— — THE PLKOPLE’'S FORUM. — Mis represented Hungarians. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I hope you will not think barshly of me for Writing you this letter toask of you afew questions I would like to have you answer. am a young man, 2 years old, and was born in Hungary. I state to you my native country so that you may know the reason Jam taking un interest in the subject ot whichIam about to write. Looking over the newspapers often 10,000 or 12,000 Hungarians have taken the Places of the strikers. Yet if you will look over the last census of the United States you will find that there are not quite 12,300 Hunga- rlans in this country (figures which I got from Conklin’s Manual). At that rateit must be that people who come from other nations to this country call them- selves Hungarians. I have known men and women who came from Poland, Bo- bemia and Kussia to call themselves Hunga- rians. Ask two-thirds of these so-called Hun- garians if they can speak the Hungarian lan- uage, and they always will have some excuse or not being abie to do so. In last Monday’s Globe- Democrat I read teie- grams from the Johnstown (Pa.) flood reports of several Hungarians having been killed or driven into the river by farmers for stealing valuables from the victims’ bodies. It was perfectiy right for the farmers to do 80. 1 have no pity for such people. But please tell me how these farmers, or the Globe - Democrat reporter, knew that these thieves were Hun- garians and not people of some other nation- ality. Last evening I met several of my coun- trymen, and all felt sore over the expression in the newspapers. It is not right. If you know any people who have trav- eled in Hungary and you will inquire about their character and hospitality you will find that the Hungarian, let bim be peasant or Baron, is an honest, brave and industrious man. I hope you will let me kuow why the people of the United States are so prejudiced against a people who are almost siaves in theirown country, to a government as dis- tasteful to them as it would be to the people of the United States.

Sixty-five Petitions Before the Board of Public Improvements—A List of the Streets and Alleys Where the Work Is Wanted—The Property-Holders to Be Heard To- Morrow, HE Board of Public Improvements will have a general clean- ing up to-morrow afternoon in the way of disposing of the .petitions for improv- ing various streets and alleys in all parts of the city. Every spring as soon as the preparations are made by the Street Department for the grading, curbing and opening, property- holders from all parts of the city rush in and try to impress the city government with the urgent need of immediate improvements in their particular neighborhood. These requests generally assume the shape of petitions signed by the majority of the proverty holders on the particular street needing fixing. They are all referred first to the Street Department, where they arefput into the hands of a competent in- spector, who goes tothe locality and then makes a report on the condition of the street and gets up an estimate of the cost of making the necessary alterations. Then the petition with the reportand the estimate of cost go back againto the Board of Public Improve- ments, where they are arranged in the order of their submission, tabulated and num- bered, ready for the last formality which the board goes through before submit- ting the recommendation for the work in the form of an ordinance which is either rejected or passed by the Municipal Assembly. These petitions since the opening of spring have ac- cumulated untilthere are enough of them to start the mili grinding. The President of the board has made the announcement that on to-morro@ afternoon at 2 o’clock the board will hear the arguments of the property- holders favoring the various improvements asked for in the petitions. The petitions which will be passed upon are some sixty-five in number and cover the town pretty thor- oughly and are as follows: or grading —, between Iowa avenue, California avenue, Juniata street and Wyom- ing street.

THE STEWART WILL LITIGATION. Prospects That the Famous Case Will Be Com promised. New YORK, June6.—The Stewart will case is in course of compromise. Yesterday Joseph H. Choate and Elihu Root for the con- testants, and Judge Hilton, respectively, waited on Surrogate Ransom and begged an adjournment beyond next Monday, the day set for argument, on the ground that the case was likely to be settied out ofcourt. Negotia- tions to thatend, they said, had made sub- stantial progress. The Surrogate set June 28 for argument, asa matter ot form. There is not the least probability that thing more will be heard the case in 11 court - room. The expenses entailed by the contest have so far amounted to over haifa million dollars. The reat question now is, how much will Judge liton pay to have the case choked off. This suit was brougit in reality for an accounting of his management of the estate of A. T. Stew- art. By Mr. Stewart’s will he received $1,000,- 000. Four days after Mr. Stewart’s death, in consideration of that legacy he acquired from Mrs. Stewart a transfsr to himself of Mr. Stewart 's interest, about 90 per cent, in the business of A. T. Stewart & Co. This was in 1876. The next nine years he uired the Stewart building, various ban stocks and other property that had been Mrs. Stew- art’s, and at her death the accounts he kept for her showed her in his debt about $1,100, 000. Figuring from two distinct bases, Judge Hil- ton passed from an ordinarily successful at- — in 1876 to the possession of from §11,- 000, to $16,000,000—with no allowance for in- crease by investment or otherwise—by 1886, when Mrs. Stewart died. The testimony in regard to his control over Mrs. Stewurt was astounding. It was proved without contra- diction that he rarely allowed her out ot his sight;thatshe signed all sorts of documents at his bidding; that he charged her interest on her drafte at 7 per cent, until the legal rate became 6 per cent, and that at full rates until the interest charges against her and to his credit were enormous, and that goods from the store for her use were charged at excessive figures. Several witnesses testi- fied to Mrs. Stewart having repeatedly de- clared that she had given Judge Hilton only a ower oi attorney to manage the business orherand had never intended to transfer the property to him. But amazing as was all this testimony, the great surprise in the case came when the contestants having finished, Judge Hiltons lawyers rested their case without a syliable of testimony in reply. This was in April. Argument was set for May 20. As the time drew near for Mr. Choate to uncork his oratory, rumors began to circu- late that acompromise was on foot. This was disappointing to those who had watched the case from the outside fora fare treat had been anticipated from Mr. Choate, who never before nadan opportunity for the exercise of his 1 talent for sharp speech making equal to this. . ‘‘SOMETHING IN THE WIND.“ Mysterious and Unusual Activity at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, NEW YORK, June 6.—‘‘Something is going to zappen and pretty quickly, too, was in everybody's mouth Tuesday night at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The First Lieutenant of the steel cryiser Atlanta founc himself in the afternoon in command ot a large body of men who had been hastily ordered to turn to“ and assist in getting the Atlanta out of dry dock, The order re- ceived was that the Atianta must be out yesterday morning, and that the cruiser Bos- ton must goin dock at once. What this sud- den activity means nobody appears to know, but itis thought something important is in the wind when it becomes necessary to work by night in order to get a vessel ready for go- ing outof dock. These proceedings are de- cigedly mysterious. Some of the naval of- ficers suspect that thecondition of affairs in Hayti means work for the cruisers. It is said that the authorities at Washington fear rioting as aA result of gitime’s downfall and believe that American interests will be greatly jeopardized. The Ossippe is the only American vessel in Hay- tien waters, and, should riot and bloodshed run rife in the island, nothing short of a pow- erful force could save the lives of the for- eigners. The fact of the Boston being or- dered into dock appears to naval officers con- clusive that she is needed for a cruise, and that the cruise isa very sudden one. After the length of timethe Boston bas been lying at the navy yard doing no service the order for cleaning her bottom could 2 only by a desire to make her most eflicient for fust steaming.

Gossip ofthe Street Concerning the Pend- ing Negotiations—Alex Euston’s Inter- est in Business Combinations—Some of the Complications of Lead and Oil Manu- factare—St. Louis’ End of the Trust. | T issaid onthe street that there can be no doubt that the Collier White Lead Co. and the Southern White Lead Co. will go into the white lead trust. President W., Re Gregg of the Southern and Secretary Alex 1 Euston of the Collier are in New York talk- tothe officers of the trust—negotiating is the word. There is little interest in the negotiations for the reason that it is well known in the trade that the trust is anxious to secure both companies and that the companies can be secured if treated lib- erally. Rut there may be a wide difference between the idea of true liberality entertained by Messrs. Euston and Gregg and those held by the gentlemen who speak for the trust. Should the negotiations end happily—that is, if the Collier and Southern are absorbed—the trust will bave won over its strongest ene- mies, whereas now it has but a little more than half of the mills in the country in its fold. MR. EUSTON OF THE COLLIER is a trustful man. The pun is rough, but it conveys an idea fairly well. In his more than twenty years connection with lead and oil manufacture be has had much experience in pools and »combinations of all descriptions. He has formed associations with cast-iron agreements to maintain prices, pools to con- trol production, and trusts. He was at the head of the lately deceased Western White Lead Corroders’ Association,and was expected to embrace the white lead trust when it was formed. Asthe Collier did not see its way to extraordinary advantage in the matter the embrace has been defered to date. The Collier Co. has fourcorporate divisions. That is to say, there are so many corporations with virtually the same stockholders. There is the Shot Co., the Castor Oil Co., the Crown Linseed Vil Co., and the Collier White Lead Co. The Shot in an association to maintain the White Lead and Castor Oil Cos. pooled and the Linseea Oil Co. was the founda- tion upon which the National Linseed Oil Co. andthe National Linseed Trust were bullt. These national aggregations of air were created by Mr.Euston. Associations and agree- ments in the linseed oil business had failed to maintain prices or benefit the maenu- facturers to the extent the manufacturers wished to be benefited. They were until re- cently without a strong —— power. At that time Mr. Euston proposed a plan — he thought would secure to the crush- ers a THE LONGED-FOR BENEFITS. He would form a company to purchase the seed and direct the operation of the mills, and a trust to controlthe company and distribute the profits thereof. The crushers would be permitted to turn into the company their plants at a liberal valuation and receive th¢re- fo trust certificates of par value $8 to $1 of their plant vaiua- tions. Tne national company in its operation of the plants would move accord- ing to the demand, manufacture most in the section where the demand was greatest, etc. The ‘‘liberality’’ of the plan caught the crushers generally, and with a few ex- ceptions ail went into the trust. Claimed that many of the notably the Collier—were at valuations which gave the companies $% of trust certificates to $1 of the cost of their mills. There was another feature of the plan, to wit: for the scheme, for the plan upon which the trast was formed and his work in- cident thereto itis said Mr. Euston was paid 50 cents On each share of stock issued by the national company in trust certificates, which in the total would be $50,000 of certifi- cates. The certificates began to sell for 82 cents and are now 47 cents. The dividends approximate 20 per centon the actual invest. ments. Mr. Euston is Presidentof the trust and a Ohicago man is at the head of the com- pany. Robert Whitelaw was offered the Pres- idency at the recent meeting, but deciined. In the West the st. Louis Lead Co.—which has three divisions: lead, castorand linseed oil—was the leader in the formation of the white lead trust which is now seeking to get the Collier and Southern in, and WM. H. THOMPSON, a leading stockholder of the St. Louis, is treas- urer of the trust at a salary of $6,000 per annum. Mr. Thompson is aleo president of the Bank of Commerce, of the ae St. Louis Gas Trust, and is interested largely in numerous corporations. Whathe knows of the present negotiations looking to the ab- sorption of the Collier and Southern he is keep- ing to himself. The curious who have at- to sound him have come blessed little information. 6 Rockwell, Vice-President of the Southern, who returned yesterday from New York, also refuses to say anything about the negotiations pending. But as has been previously said the street has no doubt that the control of the Collier and Southern lead plants will be vested in the trust at an yay | day. In that way 1 will another fight in white lead be averted. It will be remembered that the last fight, which subsided about the time of the formation of the trust, pounded the price of white lead be- low the cost of pig lead. Such a price was naturally ruinous, and would not be again welcome by the corroders. CONSECRATED TO WORSHIP.

The meeting was called to order by Marcus Bernheimer and Richard Ennis was elected Chairman, Joseph F. Imbs Secretary and Charies Daunnerman Assistant Secretary. Mr. Ennis said the object of the meeting was to consider the best means of restoring the East End to commercial importance. For- morly it had contained the great wholesale houses, banks and offices and wasthe com- mercial center of the city, but the property owners had not thought it necessary to keep pace with the rapid growth of the city and had permitted business to drift to other localities, The East End had an advantage over other portionsof the city in being near the river, and Mr. Ennis spoke of the benefits the city’s trade could receive by making the river the Outlet of the West to the sea. Marcus Bern beimer said that the importance of the recent action of the Chicago, BRurling- & Quincy Railway Co. was not properly app - In the past railroads had to be persuaded to come to St. Louis, but the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy, one of the greatest systems in the country, had bonght its way in without waiting for an invitation. Now, rail- roads are knocking at the door of St. Louis for admission and itis to the city’s interest to make their entrance easy. He was in favor of bringing as many r as possible into the East End; thought the merchants would do well to purchase a block on Main street and erect a handsome union depot. GILES F. FILLEY said he thought Main street the best business street in the city, for business could be done more cheaply there than anywhere else. He was Opposed to giving it up to railroads, but was strongly in favor of bringing the roads in onthe Levee over elevated structures and carried across Main to Second street. He said that Col. Flad bad already prepared plans for such a scheme. L. C. Nelson, a Main street property owner said that with railroads in the East End his rents would be doubied, and he would be will- Ing, it it was necessary,to stand an assessment of $10 or $20 a front foot to build switches on Main street, which the roads could use free of charge. J. K. CUMMINGS urged the building of a double track on the Levee for the free use of all the railroads. He thought the facilities might be doubled by building an elevated road on the Levee on the level of Main street, with switches to the bust ness houses. He suggested that a committee be appointed to find out at what price a block for a Union Depot could be purchased, and he thoughta greater amount of good could be done the East End by buliding a handsome passenger depot at the Washington avenue approach to the bridge than by any other means. JONH s. MOFFITT sald he had done business in the East End andon Fourth street, but when he selecte the location for his new house he chose the Kast End. N O. C. RAINWATER represented the Merchants’ Terminal, and said that he was in favor of keeping the busi- ness in the East End. He was opposed to having railroadsrun down Main street, and when business men suggested to his company that it should run its tracks further south on Main than Biddle street the company decided to stop at Biddle. Mr. Bernhelmer spoke again in favor of buy- ing a block and buflding a depot, and said he would be one of twenty to subscribe $500, or one of filty to subscribe $1,000,000 for that purpose. John H. Terry offered the following resolu- tion, which 1 unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the business men of St, Louis look with great satisfaction upon the efforts of the Chicago, Burlington & Quin Railway Co. and other raliroads to eatabiis themselves upon an independent basis in our midst; that we approve of their selection and purchase of terminal grounds as advantageous and convenient to us, and as the business Inter- ests of the entire city will be unquestionably romoted thereby, we respectfully urge — he Municipal Assembly the prompt panes a proper ordinance to enable the said railro toreach and improve their terminal prop- erty. 1 That a copy of this resolution be forwarded to each branch of the Municipal ssembly. Mr. Bernheimer then offered a resolution, which provided for the 12 tment of a com- mittee of fifteen to see if it was possible to — and on What terms, a tract of land etween Third street and the Levee and Bid- dle street and Chouteau avenue on which to bdulld a union freight depot which should be open to all the roads running into the oity.

Upon her hair she wore „ halt wreath of roses, and in her hand she earried a bunch of white lilies, the yellow stamens giving the necessary touch of gold to the bouquet. After Miss Tutt came Mr. Charies Thaw, Jr., and Mr. Carr Lane. They were followed by Miss Dixie Thaw, a beautiful girl, in robe of white satin, with demi- train covered with silver gauze, the front trimmed with silver lace.

ANOTHER MONSTER PICNIC BY THE PU- iPILS OF THE SHEPARD SCHOOL. The Largest Procession of the Kind Ever Seen in 8t. Louis Parades the Street Singing Songs Which the Directors Will Not Like—About Seventy Lonesome Chil- dren Left in the Big School Building. HE revolt of the pupils against the School Board order about picnics in school days was continued to-day. The parade of the Shepard Schoo! pupils this morning for their annual picnic was just six squares in length. Grand Marshal C. F. Schlapprizi estimated the nomber in line at 1,600, or nearly five hundred more than there are children in the school. The re- cruits were mustered in from other schools, he said, and from children who did not attend the pubiic schools, but resided in the Shepard School district. The procession was formed on the east side of Marine avenue, opposite the school house. The formation was under the direction of Grand Marshal Schlapprizi and his assistants, Wm. H. Hartman, Philip Siebel, Charles Tacke, Peter Wagner and Henry Gerber. The Marshal and his assistants wore white felt hate and elegant white silk badges fastened with tri-colored rosettes. The line was ready to move a few minutes after 9 o’clock and the Grand Marshal then gave the word. The procession was headed by a band of sixteen pieces and another band composed of the same number of musicians was in front of the second division. The route was as fol- lows: On Marine avenue to Chippewa street, along Chippewa street to Broadway, Hroad- way to Keokuk, west on Keokuk to Jefferson avenue, north on Jefferson avenue to Miami street, east on Miami to Broad- way, north on Broadway to Cherokee, west on Cherokee to Thirteenth street to the park. There were large crowds of people along the route to witness the parade, which, it was claimed, was the largest school parade that ever took place in the southern part of the city. The children were applauded all along the route and responded with vigorous cheers. Marshal Schlapprizi was pre- sented with two large and beautiful bouquets. The children were all brightly dressed and certainly made a very pretty showing. Nearly every child carried either a shepherd stick, a lantern, a wreath on a pole, or some kind of a banner in his or her hands. Many of the tiny tote wore colored paper hel- mets. No one, to look at them, would ever for a moment think that they were a band of littie rebels. And yet they were. Any doubt which may have deen entertained on that point was banished by the seditious song which they sang with great spirit. It ran as follows: We'll hang the Public School Board to 4 sour apple tree, We'll bang the Public School Board toa sour apple ree, We'll hang the Public School Board to a sour apple ee, As we go marching along. Glory. glory, halleluj Glory, glory, halielu’ Glory, glory, hallelu} As we go marching aiong. THE ONLY BIG BANNERS in the parade bore the inscriptions Our — and Our Girlies. These seemed rather tame in comparison with the banners carried in the Lyon School paras yesterday, but when Marshal Schiapprizi explained that there was a decided accent on the Our“ the inscriptions assumed a new significance. When the children marched in through the gate of the park they dispersed in directions and _ indulge in impromptu amusements. Later in the day aregular programme of sports and games was gone through with. The Committee on Amusements had purchased 1,400 prizes for the successful competitors at a cost of $125 and these were all distributed. Lemonade was furnished to all who wore the school bddgé, and four barrels of the beverage were ml ied under the direction of Amandus rtb The Reception Committee, of which Dr. E. A. Shay was Chairman, was ag tae of the — 5 Mrs. Dr. Shay, Mrs. eae Sehirr, ardt, iy Olle Hartmann, Tillie Schla 1 Lillie "Hunt, Julia Johler and Lena Griener.

The Grand Marshal, who oaly had eyes for the parade, was slightly mistaken as to the number in attendence at the school. The exact number was seventy. In the kin- dergarten there were four scholars and tive teachers. The largest number of pupils in any room was nine and the lowest one. No room was without representation. Tho aver- age daily attendance at tne Shepard School is 1,100. S&S ANNA 6&6. GRANT, the W 2 — it impossibie under the circumstances to follow the course of study, but the teachers did the best they could and all remained at their posts of duty during the school hours. To them the day seemed never- ending. PREPARED FOR ALL EMERGENCIES. Each chiid who attended the Shepard School picnic to-day was furnished with a printed excuse to be sign ned by the parent and ten- dered to the rincipal to-morrow. These blank torms of excuses were printed especially for the occasion and were distributed in brown —— envelopes by the members of the print committee among the children before the line moved from in front of the school house. The printing committee decided to get up these blanks for several reasons. The first was to make certain that every child would have an excuse and thereby run no risk ot punishment or being set back in the class, and the second was to save the parents the trouble of writing out an exouse for theirchild. The blank was in the shape of a card and was as follows: Sr. Louis, June » 1889. Miss Anna S. Grant, Principal Shepard School: Please excuse my child being absent from school yesterday. kept from schoo! seb me to attend a picnic. 50 when pro yey signed by either par- * f the child will be handed in to-morrow morning and will be perfectly acceptable ex- cuses. A gag DISPATCH reporter called this morn- nga THE LYON 8CHOOL to learn whddivek the seceders who had held their picnic yesterday had all returned in good order. Principal Wilcox said that there was afullattendance. When asked if excuses had been tendered by all those who were ab- sent yesterday, he said that he had been too busy to gather them up during the morning but he wished to assure the questioner that proper excuses from ail who were not in at- 2 at the school yesterday would be ex- ac CHAS. BARSTOW, amember of the School Board, in speaking to-day about the holding of picnics in oppo- sition to the board’s action in refusing to —— a holiday for such purpose, said. The chool Board will take no action in regard to If the parents see fit to take these picnics. in order their children from the schools that the littl ones may have the benefit of a NN spent in some park, that is none of the board’s business. If excuses signed by a parent are given the next day, that is all the account that will de re- quired of the child’s absence. The board has no authority over the children while they are out of the school and has no objection to such parents as may desire to do 80, keeping their children away for a day in order to give them a icnic. But the business of the boar however, is to see that the schools are not closed unnecessarily against those children whose parents may see fit to have their children attend the school instead ofapicnic. While on this subject I wish you would correct a mistaken impression which has gig N abroad. That is that the board will hold ft against any teacher who attends a school picnic even after school hours held on aschoolday. You can say for the Teachers’ Committee that all teachers who desire can attend any school picnic after hours their part prejudicial. for @moment suppose that it is wit in its province of anthority to govern the conduct of school teachers to any such extent after school hours. They are at perfect liberty to take part in such picnics after 4 o’clock if they wish to do so and their participation will not in the least be prejudicial to their inter- ests.’ The Shepard School picnic to-day was the second held in opposition to the School Board’s action. The Lyon School picnic yes- terday was the first. The Chariess School picnic on June ll, will be the next aad last. OLOCKS $1.25 TO $250.

New Tonk, June 6.—The Stock Exchange bas resumed its telegraphic quotation serv- ce. Final arrangements to bring this about were made yesterday afternoon. The gov- ernors of the Exchange, even after complet- ing their arrangements, affected an air of mys- tery, declining to give any hint of what they had done, and some of them were secretive for as much as an hour. is the statement they make: Tne Gold & Stock Telegraph Co. makes a deal with the Commercial Telegraph Co. by the terms of which Jay Gould is to have the con- trol of both tickers so far as their operation on the Stock Exchange goes. Two services are to be established; gold and stock tickers are to be used in the offices of the members of the Stock Exchange, while bankers, specu- lators and such part of the financial — el nity as may need or desire a telegraphic tation service can subscribe for the use o the Commercial tickers, each application for this service having to mieet the approval of Stock Exchangé@ authorities before being granted. There isto be this difference in the two services: Members of the Stock ~ yp wy are to recelve their quotations from one to two minutes ahead of those sold to outsiders. There is to be this other change, too, from re- cent terms: Instead of the ion established rate of $10 per ticker per month, per month is to be charged. It is claimed by the Stock Exchange authori- ties thateven if the courts compel tnem to make a public distribution of quotations, the delay of one or two minutes provided for in their outside service will be quite sufficient to hold off the schemes of bucketshops, who can thrive only by having immediate quotations.

SWIFT OF A FIGHT. a All Legal Methods WII Be Used to Pre- vent the Location of Any Objection« able Resort Near Forest Park—Corres spondence Between the Parties — Sales and Purchases To-Day — Real Estate News. The report, as published in the Post-Dise PATCH, that a place of public resort was to be established on Maryland avenue in close proximity to Forest Park, north of John W. Kauffman’s new residence site and opposite to Westmoreland place, has excited a great deal of comment among West End property owners, W. H. Swift, as announced inthis connec tion, has secured the site and was referred to as the chief promoter of the proposed entere prise, which has led to the following corre- spondence upon the subject between him and Mr. Kauffman: Sr. Louis, Mo., June 8. W. FH. Swift, Esq., City: DEAR Srr—I notice in yesterday’s Post- DISPATCH, that you and other persons, whose names are not given, propose to improve and use the — fronting on Maryland avenue, immediately north of my property situated on Lindell avenue, for a most extensive publio pieasure resort. The paper does not give particulars as to the proposed use, but refers to liquid refreshments, {and the gathering of a large number of persons to that locality. Without particular information as to your purposes, I fear it is contemplated to use the property so as to make it a nuisance to myself and other property-owners in the vi- cinity. I write, theretore, to say at the out. set, that if itis the purpose of yourself and as- sociates to use the property as a public drinke ing resort, or for publio fetes, public shows, loud music, dancing, the display of fireworks or for any other public entertainments or amusements, whereby large crowds of per- sons would be drawn to the locality, I shall resistin the courts any such uses of the prop- erty as a nuisance to myself and other resi- dents of the vicinity. It may be that the statements are not true in fact. It so, then there is no occasion for this letter, and in that event you will pardon me for writing it. Yours respectfully, W. KAUFFMAN, This letter having been shownto Mr. Swift this morning, he said: Well, inasmuch as Mr. Kauffman has seen proper to furnish his letter to me for Bim: you may print this, my reply to T. Louis, June 6, 1889. Mr. J. V. Kauffman; SIR— Tour favor ot the Sth read. I do not recognize your right to inquire into my in- vestments. Lam not asking your advice in the matter, and your assumed dictation is a gratuitous piece of impudence. Yours, ete., W. H. Swirr. Mr. Swift further saia that he proposed to utilize the 5 property in the most profitable manner. terested parties in that locality wanted *. — and would offer him $95,000 for it and a beer brewer offered $100,000 the prop- erty owners directly interested should have the preference. If more money could be made out ot the place by converting it into a pleasure resort it would be turned into that use. But the gronnd. he continued, was not for sale, and no one had been asked to buy it. “It was purchased to make money out of and lam going to do the best I can with it, all things considered.

The latest reports we have from nearly every county in Central Texas state that the plant has a splendid stand, and is from four to six weeks earlier than last year. With the large increase in acreage and the present outiook, we estimate the grow- ing crop in Texas at 2,000,000 bales the coming season. Cotton biooms in our section at this time is something new; it has never happened before. Nev- ertheless we see them this vear and it would not as- tonish us to see a good deal = cotton marketed the latter part of uly while last ear we received our first ‘bale August 27. iorth Texas also gives a good report, while an oc- casional growlis heard from points in South Texas.

Sheep Fi seers and Western THE TALL STATE SENATOR WORKING FOR HIS FRIEND BRIDGES. Missourians After Consular Appointments— Congressman Wade and the Kansas City Patreonage—The New York Custom- By Telegraph to the POST-DIsPatcn. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 6.—The tall form of State Senator McGinnis of Missouri is becoming familiar about the hotel lobbies where he for the greater part of the time keeps company with the Representative from the Tenth Congressional District, Mr. Kinsey, whom he has put forward in the in- terest of several aspiring Missourians. The principal of these is said to be L. L. Bridges of Sedalia, who wants to go abroad at the Government’s expense, and to that end Mr. Kinsey called upon the Secretary of State. There la not much encouragement, however, for new consular candidates, with Col. Geo. Bain of St. Louis, Mr. Wallace of Lexington, and Dr. Starkloff hung upon the tenter hooks of the Administration. Many of the Missouri applicants for official lace who come to the capital, and others who do not, entertain an impres- sion that being a member of the Cabinet Sec- Som Noble should advance their claims in the direction of their seeking. The Secretary is notin such a position. The height of de- corum and the courtesies alone forbid this. An impression prevailed at the time the two Reynolds sought the District Attorneyship for Eastern Missourithat Secretary Noble had lent a word to the proceedings. Such was not the case. The matter was one pending before the Attorney-General and the esident, and the impropriety of such a course was fully appre- ciated dy the Missouri Cabinet officer. That many changes willbe madein the Interior Department and others is not doubted, but new and untrained officials with great respon- sibilities must make haste slowly. The Missouri gossips to-day mentiona Mr. Ellis of Lebanon as the coming United States Marshal for Western Missouri. Col. Tracy of springfield ischampioned by Representative Wade. In any event there are no immediate — tor a change. Capt. J. W. Jones of ansas Oity, who has been here some time, expecting an appointment in the Pen- sion Office, was pretty well assured by the As@istant 8 of the Interior to-day that he would be made messenger and property clerk in that department at $1,000 a ear. Senator McGinnis will re, leave for the West this evening, and Maj. Wm. Warner is expected to reach here to- ~~ Ad, Mr. W. P. Smythe of St. Louis, who wants a consulship, is here waiting a determination in his case, which bas been vigorously waged by Col. Kerens and Dr. O'Reilly since the appli- cation was filed. New York Custom-House Investigation. WasHINGTON, D. C., June6.—The Civil Ser- vice Commission has completed its report on the resuits of the recent investigation made by it into certain matters connected with the Ex- amining Board of the New York Custom- house. The report says: ‘*The Civil Service Commission having con- cluded in part their investigation into the re- cent managementofthe New York Custom- house, so far as the behavior of the lo- cal Examining Board and the question of the proper observance of the civil service law as regards en- trance examinations are concerned, find that the recent management of the examina- tions for admission has been characterized by great laxity and negligence and, on the ne ot some ofthe Custom-house employes y positive fraud. The clerk of the boar himself testifies that certain of the examina- tions were farcical in character, and it has been clearly shown that atleast in one case anapplicant for admission had his papers written for him by anotber person; that ap- plicants have sometimes found out the ques- tions in advance, owing to the loose way of conducting the examina- tions, and have sometimes been pve the examination papers before and by Custom-house employes, for personal, political or pecuniary considerations. Accu- sations have been made to the commission showing that the practice of keeping the markings and the list of eligibles secret has given rise in the minds of — am to the suspicion, whether well or ill founded cannot be said, that those who were without political backing did not receive justice. As an in- stance, one Michael Hart passed an examination for opener and packer, standing at the very head of the list with amark of 95 per cent, as the books show; yet not only was he never informed that he had passed, but even his constant in- quiry at the office, as he asserts, failed to pro- cure him information. This instanceis but one of many that satisfy the commission of the wisdom of making the list of eligibies pup- lic, for though doing so is attended by certain disadvantages, It nevertheless operates as a guarantee of good faith on the patt of exam- ining boards and as a powerful preventive of traua.’’ Appointments by the President.

AMONG THE BROKERS, Heavy Sales of West Granite—Stocks Sold and Prices Obtained. The mining market was more active this morning than it has been for over a week, and ‘the sales on call alone amounted to 8, 900 shares. a * The most noticeable feature of the market was the large sales of West Granite. Trading opened at 8%, and it soon became apparent that there was an unusually large amount of stock for sale. At the opening price 900 shares were disposed of and shares brought 822. Bidding then dropped to 81%, at which 700 shares were disposed of, and 600 brought 8. After the call there was a slight decline, the stock being offered at 78%.

Bidding then ran to slk, and at th ure 1,200 shares were transterred, the market e osing at 82% asked, 81% bid. There was much speculation as to the cause of the 22 sales, mg as A. J.

The Detention of Produce Caused by the By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcnu. New Tonk. June 6.—Large quantities of provisions that were onthe wy to this city when the disaster happened in the Conemaugu Valley were stopped at various points along the railways. Eggs, butter and cheese from Pennsylvania and points in the West, and potatoes, cabbage and large qushtities of other vegetables from the South were thus detained. The result is that the prices of these articles hava gone up in the market in this city. The wholesale prices of eggs advanced from 1 to 1% cents per dozen, butter went up as much as 2 cents per pound, apples from to 50 cents a barrel, and potatoes in the same proportion. Wholesalers were able to make a good deal of money from thie state of things, but tne retailers, not to be outdone, made the consumers pay two or three times the wholesale advance. A large quantity of tatoes and cabbage that were coming from he South were sent back byrail and then n sent to this city by steamer. Yesterday barrels of such potatoes came in by boat. The dealers in poultry also made large profits by the detention of the stock on the road. It was rumored among merchants yes- terday that the Pennsylvania Rallroad Co. would sell the perishable freight which has thus been delayed for whatever it could get to the people of the vicinity, but atthe office of the company nothing definite was known, although it was said that it might be done in the interest of the shippers and for the bene- fit of the sufferers. A iarge 122 ot live poul came in yesterday and eased the strin- gency in the market and prices at once fell.

New Yorg, June 6.—The reported cessation of hostilities in Hayti has given a sudden im petus to ail shipping concerns having interests in that country. Orders of all descriptions have been placed atthe disposal of masters of vessels and some of the offers made for char- ters are better than have been known since the war. So far the best charter obtained is that giver Gans. Crocker of the American schooner „H. Holden, his shippers allowing $2,000, together with the port charges for the run witha consignment vaiued at $8,000. Capt. Crocker has had great difieulty in obtaining a W, the fear of yellow fever being very great. He offered Daa month wages, and snoceeded in getting five men at last. The miscellaneous consignment which the Holden takes out goes to the northern coast of the island. The only line between St. Louis, St. Paul and Minneapolis leaving St. Louis at night and running Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars through without change, is the WABASH WESTERN RAILWAY, making quicker time than any other route, and con- necting in the same depot at St. Paul for Battle Lake, Detroit Lake, Devil's Lake and other North- western resorts.

Yesterday’s Races. There was a large attendance and a fast track at the Fair Grounds yesterday, and the port was good. The Terra Cotta-Los Angeles race proved a practical walkover for the Chi- cago stable’s horse, Baldwin’s crack filly never being in the race. The firstrace was won by St. Ledger. It was a purse of $500, six furiongs and had for starters—St. Ledger, Lucy P., Girondes, The Elk, Heiena, The Deacon, Mrs. MvdAliister, Caloosa, Gov. Ross and Pontoon. Girondes was the favorite.

Hindoocraft won by half a length from Bravo, who was two lengths in front of Entry. Time, 1:43%. The Eliwood Percheron stakes of $800, one mile anda quarter, only had two starters, Longfish having been scratched. These two were cracks, however, and were ridden by the two greatest jockeys in the country, Jimmy McLaughiin and Isaac Murphy. Terra Cotta, whom McLaughlin had undera strong pull, took the lead at the outset and was never stretched. Murphy 1 to move up at the three-quarters with 8 Angeles, but when McLaughlin gave the great son of Harry O Fallon a little more of his head he galloped home six lengths in advance of the Caiiforn- jan.

Time, 1:47% More ‘About Bookmakers. © man who beats the races at this meeting St. Louis, to use a slang phrase, isin the soup, as far as cycle racing is concerned, and this was brought about by Percy Stone losing yesterday's race to Lumsden. This event has been the chief topic of conversation at the bi- cyslie clubs for months past. The St. Louis riders were confident of Stone’s easy victory, and only when Lumsden defeated him at Chicago, May 18, where the local riders’ eyes opened to the fact that Stone had by no means a sure thing when he tackled him. Yesterday ct day and tbe track left noth- desired. After three minor events hed been run off the gong sounded for the Stone-Lumsden race. Following the same tactics as he adopted at Chicago, Lumsden ferced Stone to set the ace and contrary to expectations the latter nstead of riding at his best speed right from the start, rode a waiting race. For ten laps Stone held the lead easily and when the gong sounded for the last lap both men got to work and rode fairly fast to within eighty yards of the last turn, where both putforth their best efforts, but the best Stone could do was not sufficiént and Lumsden crossed the tape a winner by 12 feet in 9 m. 44 8. The last eighth of a mile was as pretty an exhibition of riding as Was ever witnessed bere. THE OTHER RACES. A number of other events were also run, the first of which was the half-mile open race, which was won by Frank Mehlig in 1 m. 301-5 s.; Knight Wade, second. Second event, one mile, novice—A. G. Hard- ing, first; W. J. Dunham, second. Time, 5 m. 58 Third event, one mile handicap—E. W. San- ders, scratch, first; Frank Meblig, scratch, second. Time, 8 m. 122-5 s. This was one of the most closely contested races of the day, and proved that with training E. W. Sanders is St. Louis’ fastest man, barring Stone. Fourth event—Stone-Lumsden race. Fifth event, half mile safety for boys under 14 years—H. Kauffman, first; J. Ring, second. Time, 1:443-5. S. ©. Cochran fouled Ring in — race and for that reason forteited second ace. K Sixth event, one mile handicap for safeties —Richard Hurek, scratch, first; EK. M. Knapp, forty yards, second. Time, 8:22 1-5. Seventh event, quarter mile, ordinary bicycle, for boys under 14 years—H. Kauff- man, first; A. H. Annan, second. Time, 0:46 4-5. Eighth event, two mile bandicap—A. G. Harding, twenty-five yards, first; Frank Mehlig, scratch, second. Time, 6:36. E. „Sanders started and might have won this race but for the fact that he met with a = ny | in swallowing « lump ot ice which was given him to keep his mouth moist, NOTES. Fully 500 people were present to view the races. The Missouri's hopes were pinned to Vincent Ring to win the mile handicap, but were not realized. The Cycle Club have reason to feel proud as their men carried off four first prizes. A. G. Harding’s riding was a great surprise, and in future events the handicappers will not be quite so liberal with this man. A. H. Ingalls and Bob Garden were the only Chicago men who came down with Lumsden, and all lett for their homes last night. „ Wbat has become of Ed Smith, Ab Lewis, Jobn Hodgen and Alex. Lewis?“ was the qués- tion that was often, asked yesterday, and the soft windjsighed,‘‘We had not the time to train for the races. Both the Missouris and the Oycle Club have a number of fast riders, and as the former have twice demonstrated their superiority on the road, a team track race is now proposed by some of the members. Arace of this kind as well as nine other events, for which costly — will be given, will be held at the vision meet at Sedalia, — 4, and as the track is now in superb condition for training no excuse can be offered for contestants not being able to get into shape. UH. Kauffman has proven himself to be the champion boy rider of the city. Lumsden’s beautiful style of riding was freely commented on. He sits nearly erect even while going at high speed, and at no time was that bane of the racing man, wabdling, noticeable. Can't Downa Ball Player. From the New York WORLD Editorial.

These have come from two sources, property- hoiders through whose holdings it is propased to buy or condemn aright of way, and those doing business on Main street, who fear the grant of the right to lay the track men- tioned in the ordinance, in addition to the Merchants’ Terminal track already provided for, along that street. Mr. Giles F. Filley ap- peared at the meeting held yesterday. THE PRESENT OBJECTIONS. He explained that the iron now delivered to his stove foundry was unloaded on Main street, and thatifasecond track was placed onthe streetit would greatly interfere with his business. The Heman Brothers, whose quarry is on the line of the proposed line, also object: The Schulenberg & Boeckler Lumber Co. likewise appear as objectorstothe grant ofthe fran- chise. Mr. John G. Chandier, Attorney for the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern Co. was present to answer the objections on be- halt of the company applying for the ordi- nance. Messrs. Comfort and Meier were the only members of the committee present at esterday’s session. Mr. Rohan is absent om the city. He replied in kindly and con- ene arguments to the objectors. He ex- plained the presence of tne clause asking for the right to lay a track on Main street in addi- tionjto the track provided for by the Merchants’ Terminal bill. He saidthat it was contem- — by the projectors of the St. Louis, Keo- uk & Northwestern terminal to use the Mer- chants’ Terminal track, which, according to the terms of the franchise, was open to all companies entering the city. He showed that ifthe immense volume of business over that exit were to be handled on a single track for a distance of six blocks it would completely cut off the streets east and west of the track. The ——_—o of the business to come into the city THROUGH THIS GATE considerable, and for this it was pro- o make 8 by providing a track on Main street. r. Chandler pointed out how many of the good old citi- zens of St. Louis had fin matters of this kind failed to keep up with the procession. They had alloweda most remarkable change to be made. Before 1875 the freight of the city was brought across the riverand deposited at thetr doors. The building of the Illinois & St. Louis bridge had opened a new era in St. Louis. The problem of aerial navigation had not been solved satisfactorily at that time, but the next most remarkable thing was accom- —.— and the merchants found their freight eing carried back a mile v4 | an underground route. From this puintit had to be hauled back to the eastern side. They dia not then nor are they now -acoording to Mr. Chandler’s convincing argu- ment, showing their ability to adapt them- selves to the new condition of things. The argument made before the committee is are ve posed secon that partial provision for the opening ot the northern gate of the city to commerce has been made. The railroad facilities provided for will not be sufficient and the new com- pany asks that these facilities be increased under conditions which will fully protect th city’s interests. The committee will mee again to-morrow afternoon to discuss the bill. Important Notice.

OmaHa, Neb., June 6.—A check for , drawn by Sloan & Johnson, was presented at the Bank of Omaha yesterday afternoon, but the bank could not pay it, and closed its doors. The failure of this bank has been looked for for some time. It was organized last fall with a capital of $100,000, little of which was paid in. C. P. Needham, ex-County Olerk, was President, and Frank Wasserman, late paying teller of the United States Na- tional Bank, was cashier, The paper of the bank has been allowed to go to protest almost from the start, and was only kept alive by the contributions of Mrs. A. P. Powell and Peter Goos. The deposits, mostly by small business houses, aggregated $60,000. Absolutely Pure. This wader never varies.

Catarrh in its destructive force stands next to and undoubtedly leads on to consumption. It is therefore singular that those afflicted with ject of their lives to rid themselves of it. De- ceptive remedies concocted by ignorant pre- tenders to medical knowledge have weakened the confidence ofthe great majority of suffer- ers in all advertised remedies. They become resigned to a life of misery rather than torture themselves with doubtful palliatives., But this will never do. Catarrh must be met at every stage and combated with all our might. In many cases the disease has assumed dangerous symptoms. The bones and carti- lage of the nose, the organs of hearing, of see- ing and of tasting so affected as to be useless the uvula so elongated, the throat so inflamed and Irritated as to produce a constant and dis- tressing — SANFORD’S RADICAL CURE meets every phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive etages.
