JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 8.—It is the morning of the eighth day since the demon of destruc- tion swept down the valley of the Conemaugh, but the desolation that marks its angry flight is still visible in all its intensity and horror. The days that have been spent by weary toil- ers whose efforts were steeled by grief have done little to repairthe devastation wrought in one short hour by the potent fury of the elements. To the watchers onthe mountain- side all seems chaos and con- fusion. The thousand fires that spot the valley show that the torch is being used to complete the work of annihi- lation, where repair is impossible, and as the smoke curis upward it reminds one of the peace offerings of ancient Babylon. The corps of Government engineers that arrived last night has already demonstrated the valuable assistance which it is capable of rendering in these times of emergency. *With but a few hours’ reat, these men were up ere sunrise this morning, and by 8 o’clock a pontoon bridge had been stretched across the river at Kernville. Acting in conjunction with the Pennsylvania military authorities they are pur- suing their labors at various other points and by sundown it is confidently expected that pontoon bridges will be erected at all places where the necessities of traffic demand. It is a fact probably not generally known that the great Government of the United States owns only 500 feet of pontoon bridges, and that these are the same that were used by the Federal forces twenty-five years ago. The bridges that are to be used at Johnstown were brought from West Point and Willett Point, where they have been for years used in the ordinary course of instruction in the Mili- tary and Engineer Corps. BEGINNING OF A GLOOMY DAY. The day opened with a heavy rain and an early morning thunder storm. The hillside streams were filled to the banks, and every- thing was dripping. Theair was chilly and damp and daylight was long in coming to this this valley of desolation and death. At an early hour the valley where so many have gone to rest I finda most dismal scene. It looks indeed like the valley of the dead. Nothing was moving, and all remained within the meagre shelter offered them till the day had fairly begun. As the day advanced the tented hills began to show signs of life, smoke arose from many a camp fire and on every hill surrounding this valicy of desolation could be seen the guards moving among the tented villages. At 5:30a. m. the whistle from the Cambria Iron-works sounded the signal for early preparation forthe serious work of the day, and so the thousands of workers in be- half ot the sufferers were seen moving og the hillsides and in the valleys. The weathe as most unpleasant for anyone to be out- doors, but it apparently bad no effect on the people here, for as soon as the early breakfast was over the thousands of workmen could be seen going to their work and soon the whole valley, that in early morn- ing hours was 2 was a teeming throng of life and activity. Ulle the rain is far from pleasant to busy workers and the many help- ers, itiscertainly providential that the cool weather is continuing in order to prevent the much dreaded decomposition of the hundreds of human bodies yet unrecovered, and thousands of animals that perished in the flood. The air thjs morning, while tainted to some extent with the fumes arising from the decaying bodies, was not near so much 80 as bad the morning been hot and sultry. What is needed isa strong, cool breeze to sweep down through this valley to purify the air and carry away the poisonous gases. SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD. By 7 o’clock the whole valley was full of people and the scene was a most animated one. The various sections of the flooded territory were full of men busy in seagohing for the dead, removing and burning the debris. At8 o'clock this morning five bodies had been taken frum the mass at the stone bridge. A large force of men have been work- ing all day on this part of the wreck, but so great is the quantity of wreckage to be re- moved that while much work done, very slow 9 is made. The continued fali- ing of the river renders the removai of the debris every day more arduous and where a few days ago timbers when loosened would float away, now have to be moved away by hand, this of necessity making the work very slow. A most welcome arrival this morning was Dr. H. Bullen of disinfectant fame. He brought with him fitty barrels more of his disinfectant. The doctor will take charge of the disinfecting of the dangerous sections of * district and notably at the stone bridge. Dr. Lee of the State Board of Health says this disinfectant is the most effective of any- thing of the kind he ever saw, and itis also highly recommended all the undertakers aud doctors here. Twenty tive barrels have already been used with the most favorable results. Its — virtue consists lu the fact that It is perfectly barmiess. Dr. Bullen was a former resident of Johnstown and lost thirty relatives in the flood, among them three trothers-in-law, three uncles and two aunts. CLEARING AWAY THE DEBRIS. ivar to eee the side tracks the works will start up in about three weeks. ere is little change in the situation. Every one is working with end in view, to clear away the wreckage and give the people of Johnstown a chance torebuild. One thing is noticeable, -and that is while the men under Booth & Flinn are doing most excellent work, the laborers working at the Cambria Iron Works and on the Pennsylvania Railroad seem to be making more ＋ progress. This is no doubt for the reason that these men are more used to this Kind of work. About 10 oelock the rain was —.— and the sun came out with its fleroe June TROOPS COMING TO JOHNSTOWN. The boysof the Eighteenth Regiment had better prepare to shoulder arms, for it comes from good authority that within a day or two the Eighteenth Regiment will be called on to relieve the Fourteenth. There has been no order yet issued, but an officer of the Eight- eenth Regiment said that it was almost Ser- tain the Eighteenth would be calied on ina day ortwo. The Fourteenth were ordered to carry only four days’ provisions and this is the fifth day they have deen here. Wm. Flinn has requested Gen. Hastings to lace a guard around his commissary camp. © says he is greatly annoyed by the people S the camp and asking for provis- ions. he women are especially annoying. This annoyance is not believed to be willful, but simply because the people think any com- missary camp the place from which their wants are to be supplied. In all directions, both up and down the river, the debris is be- ing burned as fast as overhauled and fire is the great assistant in the work of clearing away the wreck. Arthur Kirk has fired a number of charges of dynamite during the day and each time with good effect. The channels through to the bridge are almost clear of debris and each charge of dynamite has loosened large quan- tities of the wreckage. Some complaint has been heard to-day about what is believed to be the unnecessary delay of transportation of passengers and goods from — The train that left Pittsburg over the Pennsylvania road yesterday atl p. m. did not reach here until 1 o’clock last night. RECOVERY FROM THE PANIO. To show thatthe people of Johastown are beginning to recover from the panic, it is stated that the proprietor of tne Merchants’ Hotel will arrange to open that hotel within a few days. Condition of Affairs Improved. JOHNSTOWN Pa., June 8.—Adjt-Gen. Hast- ings was seen this morning and said: ‘‘lam very much pleased with the way things are moving along. We are now in excellent shape to maintain proper discipline. Our men are getting used to their duties and the whole condition of affairs is much improved. There was not the least trouble last night from any source and the whole valley was like a military camp, the guards on duty, the camp fires burning and everything being quiet. 1 have beard nothing to-day from Gov. Beaver and it is now settied that he will not be bere, at least forthe present. The whole work is moving along in a manner highly sat- factory to all and when you consider the ob- stacles that the men have had to meet and overcome, the work already done is beyond praise. In regard tothe Eighteenth Regiment, I cannot tell you just now whether it will be called out or not. I have heard nothing from Gov. Beaver in regard to that movement. While I know of no immediate call for troops, if any regiment is calied out it will be the Eighteenth, and I think thev bad better be ready. Of course, if there should be any sick- ness among the troops, I think it would be only the proper move to relieve the Fourteenth from duty. One thing worthy of favorable comment is the fact that not a single man here for any legiti- mate purpose bas been found under the in- fluence of liquor. This condition ofaffairs is most commendable when it is remembered that there are at least 5,000 people here on business pertaining to the flood. About for bodies were recovered to-day upto 8 p. m., but of these only three were recovered at the bridge.”* Danger in the Genessee Valley. ROCHESTER, N. Y., June 8.—A speéelal dis- patch to the Herald from Olean, says: The largest artificial body of water in the United States is situated 782 feet above Olean. It is said to be liable to give way at any moment. It was formerly used to feed the old Genessee Valley Canal, but is now merely a sports- man’s paradise. It is condemned by public sentiment and the State Superintendent of Canais, and also by people residing in Cuba, Hinsdale, Olean and Allegheny. In fact, the whole Genessee Valley has protested against the maintenance of the reservoir, as it is a constant menace to the people and is liable to sweep them into chaos as did the Johnstown reservoir, atany time. The reservoir is one- third larger than the Conemaugh reservoir and there is no reason why it should not be abolished by the State at once. About ten years ago this dam burst letting out 15 feet of water and flooding the valley for a distance of 150 miles. -_---- ~Ge-. -----—- THE DAM CONDEMNED. Defective Construction of the Work Pointed Out by a Practical Engineer. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 7.—Mr. A. M. Wel- lington, with E. P. Burt, associate editor of the Engineering News of New York, has just completed an examination of the dam which caused the great disaster here. Mr. Weliing- ton states that the dam was in every respect ot very inferior construction, and of a kind wholly unwarranted by good engineering practices of thirty years ago. Both the orig- inal and reconstructed dams were of earth only, with no heart wall, and only riprapped on the siopes. The original dum, however, was made in rammed and watered iayers which stillshowed distinctly in the wrecked dam, but it was, to all appearances, simply dumped in like an ordinary railgoad fill, or, if rammed, shows no evidence of good effect from it. Much of theold part is ge intact, while adjacent parts of the new wor are wholly carried off. There was no central wall of puddle or masonry either in the new or old dam. It has been the invariable prac- tice of engineers for thirty or forty years to use 8 or the other in building high dams ot earth. It is doubtful if there is a single other dam or reservoir in any other part of the United States of over fifty feet high which lacks this central wall. The reconstructed dam also bears the mark of great ignorance or careless- ness in having been made nearly two feet lower in the middie than at the ends. It should rather have crowned in the middle, which would bave concentrated the over- flow, if it should occur, at the ends instead ofinthecenter. Had the break begun at the endsthecut of the water would have been so gradual that little or no harm might he ve resulted. Had the dam been atonce cut at the ends when the water began running over the center the sudden break of the dam would have been at least greatly diminished, possibly prolonged, so that little harm would have resu ted. The crest of the old dam had not been raised in the reconstruction in 1881. The old over- flow channel through the rock still re- mains but owing to the — of the crest in the middle of the dam only 5 feet 6 inches of water in it instead of 7 feet was necessary to run water over the crest, and the rock splilway, narrow at best, had been further contracted by a close grating to pre- vent the escape of fish, capped by a good- sized timber, and, in some slight degree, also by a trestie foot bridge. The original dis- charge pipes at the foot of the dam had been permanently closed when reconstructed, and this, while a minor matter compared to the others mentioned, further reduced the pos- sible rate of maximum discharge. The net effect of all these differences of condition was th y 8 inches to 4 feet high above the bottom of rock ne: —— * 7 a, It ts 3 bie to e riprapping new she Gann wan 08 as the old or not, since it has been wholly carried — A ‘ores amount of the old riprapping and slope still remains intact and is of excellent quality. age tirougls the Gam ‘before i came from water , — — lieve that any other dam of equal height had ever been constructed in this country wholly 2 ＋ bak 1 of LI protec- eakage or abrasion by water i the center of the ° * 9 The estimates the original dam indicate that it was made about half earth and half rock, but if so there waa little evidence of it in the broken dam. The riprapping was merely askin On each face, with more or less ving ees mixed with the earth. The dam was eet above water, 2 to 1 inside slope, 1% to 1 outside slope, 2 feet wide on top. Rock throughout was about one foot below surface. he earth was pretty good material for such a dam, if it was to be built at all, being of a clayey nature, making good puddle. To this the factof its —— intact since 1881 must be ascribed, as no engineer of standing would have ever tried to so construct it. he fact that the dam was a reconstructed one. after over twenty years’ abandonment, made it es- pecially bard on the older pars of the dam to withstand the pressure of the water. An Unfortunate Squabble. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 8.—The Pittsburg | undertakers’ strike against Dictator Devore hasnot been settled, but Devore received word to-day that Mrs. Spencer and Wiilison P. Lowry, W. Tommelock, Dennis Boyle and P. Hersherger would be up to-night and go to work in his department. The bodies found near the Pennsylvania Railroad station this morning were nearly all removed to the church morgue. Every man in the Pittsburg delegation, about3 o’clock yesterday after- noon, suddenly discovered that he was wanted at home and left. It was on business, they said, but Mr. Devore declares that it was nothing more than the breaking out of an old sore; just because some men could not run things to suit themselves they quit. Devore explained the trouble to-day. He said: James Flannery was disgruntied because I was given charge of the work by the State Board of Health and he showed iton every oceasion. Yesterday he asked to see my cre- dentials and Ishowed them to him. An hour afterward the men quit and I am told that when they left there were five bodies at the Church Morgue which needed attention. Per- haps I make myself obnoxious by making them behave themselves and prevented liquor drinking. Iforcibly ejected from the bulld- ing one young maa who, though he may have been an embalmer, was a biacxguard. I claim that there wasa better system in effect here than at any morgue in the town. We can get along without the kickers.’’ The old funeral directors were, it is appar- ent, in the quarrel. Already twenty barrels of embalming fluid have been consumed, aggregating nearly 800 gallons, it requires from half pint to a quart to each corpse. The Liquor Question, JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 8.—Judge Advocate Rogers of Gen. Beemer’s staff this morning decided an important question which arose by -the discovery of forty barrels of whisky in a building on Main street. Adjt.-Gen. Hastings was disposed to confiscate it as a safeguard according to a section in the military code which prohibits the sale of liquor within the limite of a military camp. Judge Advocate Rogers ruled that it was private property and a licensed dealer had a right to sell liquor. Besides, it was not a military camp, but a posse comitatus, the militiamen only doing police duty. Last evening emploves of Lutz & Son un- earthed ten barrels of beer from the cellar of a building on Main street. A body of a man was found close beside it. The driver was bringing his capture away when Maj. Samuel Hastings arrested him. Adzutant-Genere“ Hastings knocked in the head of a barrel a let the beer run into the street, under orde and it was all destroyed. ou will be paid for the beer, said ( Hastings, to the owners. New York and Pennsylvania. HARRISBURG, Fa., June 8.—Gov. Bea’ invited Gov. Hill of New York to join 2 proclamation tothe people ot New York and Pennsylvania inviting them to make special contributions through their churches to-mor- row for the relief of the sufferers by the disas- trous fire at Seattle, and has suggested that these collections be immediately forwarded to a Central Committee, consisting of ex-Presi- dent Cleveland, Jay Gould of New York and George W. Childs of Philadeiphia, for traus- mission to the appropriate authorities in Washington Territory for the relief of the suf- ferers on Puget Sound. The Governor bas not yet beard from Gov. Hill, but is hourly ex- peoting his assent to this humane proposi- tion. Caring for the Orphans. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 8.—Humane Agent O’Brien is here looking for orphans. He is working in conjunction with the Philadelphia representatives of the Ladies’ Aid Society of Pitteburg and the various committees. Chair- man Jchuston, of the latter, secured a number to-day. Mr. O’Brien has found scores of children, onea family of eleven. They are all scattered about in care of friends in the valley and for the present the agent can take no definite steps. He may have 400 orphans from the towns. Agent O’Brien said to-day: „„We want to get ahead of Philadelphia. Johnstown belongs to Pittsburg, or rather it ig nearer, and we don’t want Philadelphia to get the best of us. Incidents of the Deluge. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 8.—Among the bod- les recovered in Kernville yesterday was that ofa young woman richly attired, wearing dia- monds and a gold watch marked ‘‘J. J. L. to E. J. L.’’ The remains were taken to the chapel on the hill. Chaimer L. Dick, the ghouls’ Nemesis, bid good-bye to this ill-fated town last night. He will hereafter reside in Mount Pleasant. This morning a destitute notion dealer de- cided to selirciics, and in ashort time he had disposed of $17 worth of goods, the people paying the regular price for everything. A Pension Agent Missing. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcu. BALTIMORE, June 8.—Mr. James PF. Mat- thews, formerly editor of the Baltimore Amer ican, but recently pension agent with head- quarters at Huntington, Pa., has not been beard from since the Johnstown flood. As his district included Johnstown, his famil fear he was there at the time of the 0 Mrs. Matthews, with a son and daughter, live in this city. The Family Saved. Mr. J. 8. Klinefelter received a letter from Pitteburg yesterday stating thatthe family of Mrs. Sarah H. McOlay, which was in Johne- town at the time of the disaster, had been saved and not « member was lost. 80 far as can be learned Mrs. MoClay’sis the only en- tire family that escaped.

Arrangements for the Great St. Louis Expo- sition, to Open September 4. General Manager David J. Harris of the St. Louis Universal Electrical Exhibition has sent to exhibitors a statement of the general plans for the exposition to be opened September4, 1889, and to continue for six weeks. It has been decided that no charges shall be made tor either power required or space occupied by exhibitors whose applications shall have been received and accepted previous to July 15, 1889. Applications for sixty-five different exbibits are already on file. For electrical ex- hibits 75,000 square feet have been reserved. Gilmeore’s band has been engaged to furnish music for the entire six weeks. The music in the large hail will be reproduced by an Edison phonograph tn the smalier hall. It is proposed to make the Electrical Exhibition the greatest exposition held in this country since 1876. The Missouri Electric Co. have engaged space for an attractive exhibition ofthe West- 8 alternating system. ‘hirty thousand artistic posters, the finest designs yet prepared, will be out in a few days for hanging in railroad stations and hotels throughout the Country. , It is intended to have among other attrac- tions a type-setting machine operated by electricity and to have in the Exposition machinery showing the use of tne tamed lightning in every line of manufacture. CAPT. BOYTON’S LAST EX AIBITIONS. One of the Most Novel Shows Ever Given in the Country. To-night and to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon Capt. Paul Boyton will make the last appear- ance, of his present engagement, at Kensing- ton Gardens. His exhibitions during the week have been attended by large crowds, and have proved most enjoyable. To-morrow afternoon, if the weather is good, an immense crowd is expected, when the final exhibition will be given. The Captain will spring into the lake and begin his Various wonderful feats in the water promply at 8 o’clock. To those who have never seen Capt. Boyton his exhibitions are something wonderful. He is as much at home inthe water as on dry land. Among the wonderful things he does, probably the most interesting is his act in constructing a raft from floating logs and then lighting a fire on the improvised raft and cooking a meal of which he partakes with relish. His feat of floating with a cigar in his mouth and reading a newspaper is another which may be mentioned as being very popu- lar with the audiences who have witnessed his exhibitions during the week. The Captain isthe greatest swimmer in the world and those who have thought it hard or found it dimoult to sustain themselves in the water will certainly take delight in watching the ease with which he floats around and does his various acts. His trained dogs and other features are also worth seeing and, together with young Whistler’s walking on the water, to., make ane of the most novel exhibitions ever seen. JUDGE ANDERSON’S COURT.

As yet Gladstone has said nothing of importance. Lord Randolph Churchill’s success in win- ning the Oaks with Abesse de Jaurre breaks his run of ill success.

OTTaWwa, June 8.—The Postmaster-General to-day gave imperative Instructions that from this day all mail passing between the maritime provinces and Upper Canada shal) be transmitted over the Skort Line Railway just completed through the State of Maine to St. John and Halifax. Strong prejudice has all along prevailed among several members of the Cabinet against the proposed line and the passing of Her Majesty’s mails through American territory which now, however, ap- pear to have been overcome through the strong influence of the Hon.

The large audience was kept waiting for nearly an hour after the advertised time of beginning before there was any sign of life on the stage, and the orchestra gatbered slowly, as if time was a matter of no importance, and as if the patience of the people was inexhaust- ible. There was no word of explanation publicly given for this utter disregard of the comfort of the audience. The management explained that the train was late in arriving but the delay amounted to only balf an hour the train arriving at s o’clock, and it is im- possible to accept the explanation as an ex- cuse for such an unpardonable delay. There was a wearisome wait.again between the first and second parts, and the usual signal for opening the second part was omit- ted, resulting in confusion and noise while the scene from ‘‘Faust’’ was being given. The concert contained, however, much that was brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable. The performance of the Tannhauser““ overture by the orchestra is hardly worth mentioning after the work o Herr Seidi’s and Director Gericke’s magnificent organizations. The work of the soloists was admirable throughout. Mr. Herbert's cello solos, embracing Bach’s sorabande and the melodie by Massenet.were delightfully pares with an artistic feeling and command of instrument which were excelient. Sig. Perotti scored a genuine triumph in his two selectiong a romanze from Le Huguenots’’ and ‘Di Quella Pisa’’ from 11 Trovotore’’ In the latter selection particularly, the clear, bell-like tone, power and range of his voice were shown in splendid degree, while his execution was artistic and finely spirited. His high notes are superb in strength and purity. Handel's Lorgo was admirably rendered by Mr. Bendix and the strings, while Miss Emma Juch sang the letter aria from ‘‘Don Giovanni’ in fine voice with such artistic grace that she was compelled to ive an encore and sang a German bDaliad with charming sweetness. Sig. Bologna substi- tuted a selection from the Barber of 80 ville’’ for the Magie Flute’’ selection, and sang it with good voice and fine spirit and ex- pression. e quartette from ‘‘Fidelio’’ was only fairly rendered, none of the voices show- ing striking quality except Miss Juch’s., The gentieman who was ut on the ro- gramme as Mr. Fischer was not mil Fischer of the Metropolitan Opera Company, who had been announced as a member of the company. The mistake is one that should never occur as it is liable to disreputabie con- struction. One of the most artistic performances of the evening was the rendition of Mendeisohn’s Piano Concerto in @ minor by Miss Aus der Ohe. This 1 artiste again proved her exceptional skill by her exquisite inter- pretation of the work. The second part of the concert Was com- posedof the garden scene from Faust“ which was given admirably by a cast com- posed of Miss Juch as Marguerite, Sig. Jules Perott! as Faust, Miss Helene Von Doen- hoff as Siebel and Martha and Sig. Cam- panari as Mephisto. The management of the company were guilty ofa piece of sharp practice with re- gardto the concert this afternoon which is unpardonable. In all the announce- ments of the concert the fact that neither Miss Jueh nor Sig. Perotti, the stars of the company, would appear, was carefully con- cealed, and the impression was given that they would appear. The deception was even car- ried to the point of holding back the pro- gramme until last evening, while the pro- krammes of the other conoérts were made public. Of course, the chance of selling tickets to a concert with the two principals out of the programme would be slim and hence the deception. It would have served Manager Locke right if the people had all demanded their mone back and refused to attend the matinee. Suc treatment of the public creates a natural dis- trust in the manager which will not help his business in future. At to-night’s concert an excellent miscel- laneous E will be given, in which Miss Juch will appear and the fourth act of ‘*li Trovatori,’’ with Sig. Perotte as Mayrico, will constitute the second part. One of the Audience Protests. 70 the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The concert at the Exhibition Hall last night brought to us again Fraulein Juch—deservedly popular asa singer wherever she is known and nowhere more than here. It also brought Perotti, comparatively unknown here, who captured the audience with his upper air’’ pyrotechnics. But it was undoubtedly the worst managed concert ever given here by a first-classorganization. In the heated atmos- passe ofa June night an audience unusually arge was kept waiting for full three-quarters of an hour before the first note of the orchestra was sounded. No expla- nation of this tiresome delay was vouchsafed. The musicians finally got themselves together in a straggling, seemingly purposeless ‘‘go- easy’’ way that might be expected only in a company of ‘‘barn-stormers.’’ They did not get their instraments together. The pitch of the strings n 'wiliththat ot the wind instruments most of the time. There were about half the number which the bills announced, and coming so soon after the magnificent forces of Herr Seidl their inade- quacy, especially inthe Wagner music, was painfully apparent. The bills announced an ‘‘intermission.’’ And it was an Intermission. During the long wait a large part of the audience, according to well defined custom, sought the corridor for social contact and fresh air, expecting the usual summons to return before the. perform- ance was resumed. No such summons was given and the scene from ‘‘Faust’’ was ‘‘on’’ when thé people in the corridor came into the place with a great deal of confusion. The matinee to-day does not include either Juch or Perotti, a fact about which the an- nounceinents are injudiciousiy, if not sus- piciously, silent. Inasmuch as this is the Juch-Perotti Concert Co., with the names of these artists ostentatiously displayed, it is only fair tothe public that when the prin- cipals do not appear the fact should not be studiously concealed. There was a good deal of inquiry last hight for the manager of the Exposition building, For nearly an hour there was not an opening It would also have been a great boon if the barrel of ice- water and tin oups—primitive but good— usually found iu the corridor, or some other means of slaking thirst, could have been dis- covered. Now, Mr. Editor, I am not a ofitic, nor a „ kleker, nor a ‘‘dead-head’’ in such matters but 1 insist that the peo- ple of St.Louis are entitied to fair and candid treatment from the purvéyors of entertainments, It is this onurse that in the long run pays the best.

COUNCIL OF UNITED STATES COMMISSION- ERS AND SIOUX INDIANS. ances Against the Government—Gen. Crook's Plain Talk to the Head Men of the Tribe—Crow Dog the First to Sign the Agreement—The Necessary Number. OSEBU D, S. Dak., via Valentine, Neb. 9 June 8.— The Commissioners held another coun- cll with the Indians yesterday after- noon. Yellow Hair, an Ogallala chief, eth claims that the In- | dians did not un- f derstand whether hv the money paid un- ; der the provisions of the act for the schools came out of the price of their lands; that the treaty of 1968 promised them schools for thirty years; that they were entitled to schools for nine years longer under that treaty. The Commissioners explained that the schools continued under the provisions of the old treaty; that the expense was not charged against the money received from sale of lands. Swift Bear said: ‘‘I wish Mr. speak for the white tribe.“ Charles P. Jordan, Indian Trader at this agency, who is related by marriage to Red Cloud, also spoke to the Indians, giving rea- sons why they ought to accept the act of Con- gress, urging every one to do as he thought right. Jordan to THE ORATOR OF THE TRIBE. Hollow Horn Bear, orator of the tribe, then spoke. He said: ‘‘I heard you had come here several days ago. I now see you and 1am glad you are all good looking men. I greet you as friends, as I should expect you to consider me if I should go to see you at your homes. I have thought of this matter since you first spoke to us, and while I did not understand all about it, I be- lieve the Government means to do right with us. Gen. Crook knows all about it and I want bim to tell us. We all know him and will listen to his words; that his tribe wants all the Indians in the Sioux Reservation to come here and talk the whole matter over at this agency, and then they will be ready to decide; that twelve men had been seleoeted to — them, but they had delegated him to speak for all.“ GEN. CROOK’S SPEECH. Gen. Crook then said: ‘‘My friends, I want to saya few words. The President sent us here to speak to the Indians at this ageney: He don’t want to have all the Sioux Indians come here a their crops will suffer. Wo shall go to the different agencies. e are here to explain everything. You can either sign or not as you see best. We have no in- terest except so far as we all desire the good of the Indians. If you do not accépt it you must bear the consequences. Don’t comé to me complaining about it. I heard that I bad aid Louis Richard to support the bill. You Ea that you selected him yourselves, as well as the interpreter. You wanted bim and the Commissioners appointed him. I1 was glad you selected him, because he was once a soldier with me, and he was 7 food — 4 the Indians. He wants the Dill si d, be- cause it will belp him and his children when he is dead in the samé way it will help you and your children. Louls and the other nalt- breeds can read and understand what i% best for them, and they know thé bill is good; that is the reason they sigh. LOAFERS AND SQUAWS. ‘When I left you eleven years ago I thought this time you would be much further advanced than you are now. Ifeelthat you are satis. fied to loaf and do nothing and let the Govern- ment feed you. Then you were brave men. When you were askec to decide anything you did it at once, and said yes or no. NoW you afe afraid to do anything. You keep wantin more time. You are not brave men now ba sq uaws, and the Government will have to send dolls and rattles to amuse you. The Government can’t always feed you. Yu must sometime become self-supporting. Because I am your friend is the reason I say this. I want ou to become like white men and hold your and in wt yw ny The Government is very liberal, and this bill does more for you — it ever did the white man. t will pay pe acre for your g and 0 cents tor your bad land, which is 80 poor that grass- hoppers can’t live on it.

If he Is not willing to Tee to all that the Com- missioners have said to you then there will be nothing done and you will remain as you are now. There is no desire in the heart of the Commissioners to urge you. You must decide for yourselves and each one for himself. The aper is here. You that want to Stu dose. I ave nothing further to say.

There were a tew who were posted on the racing qualities of Martin & Lambert’s blind mare, and who played her to an extent which brought them good big winnings The story might ap- propriately be termed The Tale of a Tip, ora History of a Dump.“ ; THE MAN who had the tip was Sheriff John H. Pohiman, and the manner in which be got it was this: The other day George Cochran purchased from B. F. Stout the latter’s alleged ownership of the jumping horse Linguist. The price paid Linguist, under whose name he is run, and who claims that he is the rightful owner is H. ©. Hartman. Hartman did not rec- Ognize the sale of a half partnership in the horse made by Stout and Cochran be- procedure. Hartman heard about this and Went to see Sheriff Pohlman about it. Pohl- man told him that no attachment had been putin his hands. Hartman then informed the Sheriff of the full particulars as to how he ame to own the horse and ssked him as a favor that if an attachment were sued out by Oochran that be would treat him as fairly as he could in the matter. The Sheriff said that of course he would make him no unnecess trouble. They became bones f friendly, and Hartman told the Sheriff if he was out gt the races yesterday after- moon he would give him a good thing. Sheriff Pohiman, who has like most peopie a fondness tor good things, was at the track terday with his two sons, John A. and W. » Pohiman. They met Hartman. He told „good thing’’ of which he spoken was ne, Martin and Lambert mare, who was entered in the second race. The mare he said was faster than any animal in the race, butas she was carry- ce wotgnt her owners were thinking of scratching her and saving her for an event in which she would so heavily handi- About ten minutes before the race however, Hartman hunted upthe Pohimans and informed them that Martin and Lambert would run the mare for blood from start to finish, and there was no question about her tting the place atleast. Onthis informa- nthe Pohlmans went to the 1 pavil- not lion and played the blind mare straight and for a place. They also put their friends, George Grassmuck, Tom Wand and Oapt. Boese, on to the tip.

The Great Amateur Athlete Will Competé in Five Events at the M. A. A. OC. Games To-Morrow—What He Has to Say About Handicapping and Athletics Generally— Programme of the Sports. \LCOMB W. FORD, the champion all- ronnd athiete of Amer- lea, arrived here this morning to take part in the games of the Missouri Amateur Athletic Club, which are held at Sports- man’s Park to-mor- row afternoon. He proceeded immediate- ly to the Lindell hotel, where be is quartered. This is the first trip Mr. Ford has made here since he attended the Missouri Ama teur Athletic Club in the year he first won the all-round championship. There is little change in his appearance since then, and he seems to be in excellent condition. He does not use tobacco in any form and prides him- self on temperance. Good judges have pro- nounced him the greatest combination o strength, activity and endurance that has yet come before the public. „With the exception of on May 4 last, I have not taken part in any games for nine months,’’ he remarked to-day. ‘‘On that day wing contest at the ——_ — — — Malcom . games of the Titan Athletic Club given on the Manhattan Athietic Club’s grounds. I then threw the 16-pound hammer 85 feet 7 inches, and won third prize. 1 was given a 20-foot allowance. Weight throwing is now about the only thing at which I have a chance to win, as in anything in the way of running or jumping Iam handicapped so heavily that itis useless for me to enter. They always handicap a man who has any reputation up to his best record, and he of course cannot always equal his best performance, and there is always some outsider in the event who proves to be a better man than supposed, and you lose. I think the Western hbandi- cappers treat me more lieniently than the Eastern men. They have treated me fairly, I think, in the handicaps for to-morrow, and I hope to win something. It is always a pleasure for me to attend the games of the M. A. A. C. here, and their meetings seem to always be successful. They treat a man well when he comes. I am in first-rate all-round condition, as I have been preparing myself for the all-round championship, which takes place in New York next Au- gust. As I have not trained for any one particular event I do not expect to equal any of my previous rec- ords. Iam entered inthe 100-yard race, the 120-yard hurdle race over 8 feet 6 inch-hur- dies, the running high jomp, the running broad jump and throwing the hammer. In the running high jump and hurdle race I expect to show to best advantage. I have heard of this man, Powell, out here and understand he is quite a high umper. Scbifferstein told me of his defeat y Powell. The record made here by Schiffer- stein of 9 4-5 seconds in the 100-yard run is not accepted in the East. He has run twice against Fred Weston of New York, who beat bim ey both times, and the people do not think Schifferstein fast enough to make the time with which he is credited. Weston, I think, is unquestionably the fastest 100-yard manin the amateur ranks and W. Byra Page is the high jumper of all of them. Schifferstein is a very pretty general jumper. I am glad the events take place ina grass covered field. When level and rolled hard there is nothing like a grass field for running, jumping and throwing weights. The only trouble isin keeping it in condition. I shall return home Monday morning as I have to get back to my work. FORD’S RECORD. Malcolm W. Ford, the all- round amateur champion athlete of America, was born in Brooklyn, N. Y., on February 7, 1862. His hysical measurements are as fol- Height, 5 feet 9 inches; weight, 162 pounds; chest measurement tural, inches; inflated, 43 inches; waist, 82inchee; thigh, 22% inches; calf, 16 inches; fore-arm, 12% inches, and biceps, 4 inches. All of these measurements were made in athletic costume, so they represent the man exactly. Mr. Ford did not inberit unusual physical strength. Both his father and mother are of literary turn of mind. His father is the pos- sessor of tue largest private library in Brook- lyn. His grandfather on his mother’s side a professor in Amherst col- and his areat grandfather the world - renowned Noah Webster. Thereis no better example of the close connection of mind and muscle than in Mr. Ford, for he inherits unusual mental strength, and yet has proved himself to be a great natural athlete. He competed 1 regularly in all the prom- inent games of 1888, 1884, 1885 and 1886. fa 1887 he did not take part once on account of the trouble he had with the National Asso- clation. In 1888 he took part in sev- eral 1 the most prominent of which was the individual all-round championship, which he placed again to his credit, beating A. A. Jordan, who won it in 1887. That made the third time Ford has won this event with- out ever being beaten. His best records are as follows: One hundred-yard run, 10%s.; 220- yard run, 224-5s.; 440-yard run, 52 1-5s.; 120- yard hurdles, 8 feet inches high, 17 1-5s.; standing broad jump, 10 feet 984 Standing high jump, 5 inch; runnin broaa ump, 28 feet S inches; running high jump, 5 feet 11 inches; three standing broad jumps, 34 feet 4% inches; ten standing broad jumps, 113 feet 5% inches; standing hop, step and jump, 29 feet 9% inches; running hop, step and jump, 4 feet 1% inches; standing jump, step and jump, 31 feet 10 inches; putting 16-pound shot, 36 feet 7% inches; throwing 16-pound hammer from a seven foot circie, 91 feet 2 inches; Throwing 66-pound weight from a seven-foot circle 21 feet 4 inches; pole vault 9 feeté inches; pushing up dumb dells, either arm, pounds, Six of the above are the best amateur records in the world, while four of the six beat the best professional records in the world. Some of the others mentioned are within a fraction of the best record. All of these records were made without arti- ficial aid, and no other athlete ever made such a varied set of high-class res as the above list shows. Mr. Ford has won over 170 prizes, consisting of medals, jeweiry and cups, some of which are very vaiuable. He has been engaged in journa for over two years,and is now the editor of the -sports column of the Zwur/, Field and THE HANDICAPS 4d to- morrow are as follows: One mile walk—W. F. Sauer, W. ©.

C., June 8.—The Secretary of the Treasury was the recipient of a call this morning from a delegation of Missourians composed of Maj. J. B. Upton, Col. Musick, Maj. Brock and others. The former two were Congressional aspirants on the Republican ticket last fall. The object of the visit was to impress upon Mr. Windom the importance of making a change inthe chief of the Bureau of Statistlos at once. It was argued that there was no statistical work that was urgentin con- nection with the bureau at this time but what it could be taken up by Maj. Brock of Macon. The gentleman’s capabilities had already been fully advanced. The delegation met with no more encouragement than others have in the past, but all seem to be of the mind that Maj. Brook will be suc- cessful and at no late day. Col. Switzler is absent in Missouri! and has endeavored to persuade the Department that important incomplete statistical reports will suffer if he is not allowed several weeks longer in which to complete them. Watt G. Reynolds, yn expects to call up- on the President and Attorney General this afternoon. Mr. William B. Smyth has made another call upon the President, but is convinced that no Consulate will come his way for some time yet, Gen. George Shields bas secured one of the principal messengers in the Interior Depart- ment for one of his Missouri friends who has uot been named yet. The Mentone Episode. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTca. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 8.—It was Im- possible to-day to get either official confirma- tion or denial ofa rumor afloat here that the United States Minister to France had been heard from in the matter of the French dress- maker who gave so much annoyance to the Brooklyn lady tourists. Minister Reed, ac- cording tothe rumor, reports to the State Department that he is fully convinced that ustice would bedone tothe ladies and the onor of the United States would be fully vin- dicated bya slight reduction of the dress- maker’s bill. The mode of collection seems to have been all right, but the Minister consid- ersthe charges rather exorbitant. Ten per cent off, he thinks, would be a fair and hon- orable compromise. Government Building at Sedalia. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcn. WASHINGTON, D. O., June8.—The Secretary of the Treasury bas recommended the accept- ance of the lot on the southeast corner of Second and Lemaine streets, Sedalia, as the site for a Government building, for the erec- tion of which provision was made in the last Congress. The ee Mgt ren pa upon his return from Indianapolis next week will di- rect the attorney for the Sedalia district to examine the title to this property, and if a perfect title can be furnished the Govern- ment the purchase will be made and work commenced on the building. The New York Post-Office. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. WasHInotron, D. O., June 8.—Yesterday Postmaster-General Wanamaker went to New York to assist the commission now examining into the condition and needs of the New York City Post-office. He will return on Monday next. THE CRONIN INQUEST. An Unwilling Witness Ordered Into Custody by the Coroner. CHICAGO, June 8.—John Moss, a member of Camp No. 21 of the Clan-na-Gael was put on the witness stand in the Coroner’s investiga- tion into tbe manner of Dr: Cronin’s death, this morning. At a meeting subsequent to the murder a resolution was presented in this camp denouncing the deed. oss moved that it be tabled, remarking that ‘‘Perhaps Dr. Cronin’s removal was ordered by the Execu- tive Committee.’ When called to the witness chair this morn- ing and asked to give the name of the presid- ing officer of the camp, he refused to do so, and by order ofthe Coroner, was taken into custody. Pending the arrival of the Sheriff’s Deputy, the witness gave evidence of great mental dis- tress and finally signified his willingness to testi He then said that the name of the presiding officer of his camp was Wm. H. ait When you made your motion on the Cro- nin resolution did you believe that the Ex- ecutive Committee had the power to order the removal of any one? queried the Coroner, ‘*IT had not the faintest idea of the powers of the Executive.’’ It you had been ordered to remove any one, would you have done it?’’ No, str, said the witness after a long pause. Peter McGeehan was the next witness. He testified that he came to Chic last February from Philadelphia; that he did not say before leaving that he was going on dangerous bus ness for the Executive. e came because he bad hada row with ayoung fellow about a girl. Dr. Cronin came up to witness on the street once and accused him of being in the city to murder him (Cronin). Subsequently Cronin wrote the witness a note — | him to get out of the State or he would have him arrested. The witness declared that he was in Puliman on the night that Dr.Cronin was murdered. As soon as McGeehan had finished testifying and the Coroner had announced that the in- quest would stand adjourned until Monday morning until 10 o’clock, the witness was taken into custody. He was asked what number he took when he left Philadelphia. He replied that he did not take any number, He retained the num- ber he previously had, which was No. 1.

The Constable and two deputies from the Office of Justice of the Peace Ryan marched into the Lindell Hotel this morning, captured atrunk and carried it out into the street be- THE OFFENDERS’ HOPES. JUDGE THAYER WILL DECIDE THE ELEC- TION CASES ON MONDAY And the Federal Grand Jury Will Resame Its Investigation Into the Naturalization Frauds of Last Octeber—No Council Combination Can Be Formed Just Now— A Political Picnic. N next Monday Judge Thayer will hand down his decision on the demurrer of Dele- gate Lehman to the in- dictment found against him for fraudulently naturalizing foreign- ers. The defendant’s attorney is making a fight,which will decide all the naturalization frauds of last October. Lehman pleads that the Court of Criminal Cor- rection has not in its creating law received the power to make cigizens. Should Judge Thayer maintain this view it would end the investigation of the 3,000 pa- pers issued in that court last sum- mer and fall and render invalid the papers of tens of thousands of foreign born citizens, who since the creation of the Court have secured naturalization papers before that tribunal. A technical point has also been raised on the insufficiency of the aver- ments of the indictment, the defendant bola- ing that the indictment does not charge that William L. Fitzgerald, deputy clerk of the Court of Criminal Correc- tion was authorized to administer,the oath un- der which the alleged perjured testimony con- cerning qualifications was given. This — even if sustained by Judge Thay- er would only effect the cases of Lehmann & Neibert, in which indictments have already returned into court. Other indictments might be based on the same evidence and re- turned at once with the correction suggested. These are the two points on which the hopes of the defendants already apprehended an those still at large, hang. Even if the decision sustained both points, an occurrence not regarded as probable, it would not affect the cases growing out of the naturalization of foreigners in the St. Louis Criminal Oourt, as the jurisdiction of this tribunal is not disputed. District At- torney Reynolds says he knows of no reason why the trial of Lehmann and Neibert should not proceed in case Judge Thayer sustains the indictments. The Federal Grand-jury will also meet on — to resume the investigation ot the rauds. No Combination Made. It has been reported at the City Hall for several days that a Council combination was ip the course of formation for the purpose of carrying — the Mayor’s nominations. Ed Butier as been credited with the conduct of the negotiations intended to secure the co-operation of four Republican Councilmen. Under the awkward rovisions of the City Charter if Mayor Noonan should remove any of the heads of departments the right to fill the office oes to the epnbiican Council. hould the Council make the removal the Mayor has the right to fill the the office. The report is apparently without foundation. When Ed Butler was asked if he had made a tender of his services to the Mayor he said he had never made such an offer, for the good reason that he could not deliver the goods even if inelined. While he had good friends among the Republican members of the Council he would not under- take such a contract. The story of Butiler’s tender of services originally came from some of the Noonan men, but it is evidently without foundation. There is no probability that any such a Council combination can be formed. Preparing for a Picnic. The Irish-American Republican Club of the State of Missouri will hold en important meet- ing next Wednesday evening at Lightstone’s Hall, Eleventh and Franklin avenue. The Com mittee on Picnic will report,arrangements already perfected. Some one of the leading candidates for Appraiser of the Port, will also be indorsed, A large attendance is ex- pected. AMONG THE BROKERS. A Dull Market—Stocks Sold and Prices Ob- tained To-Day. Trading, as is usual on Saturday, was light, but prices were a few points higher. The largest sales were those made in Black Spar, 11,000 shares changing hands, all at 2%. The stock was freely offered at 3, with no takers. Secretary Bougher sold 10,000 shares, which he said were on orders. He also stated that no news of any fresh developments had been received from the mine, the only com- munication of importance being the monthly payroll. All rumors of strikes Mr. Bougher declared to be unauthorized. 2 * The report was current on the street that the Gold King bad shut down, and an attempt to raid the stock was made, but without suc- cess. James Campbell sald that the mine had been shut down all winter, but had resumed operations on May 25.

THEY THREATEN TO READ COMMITTEEMAN; FLEMING OUT OF THE PARTY. A Promise of Trouble Over the Election in Process To-Day for a Member of the House of Delegatesin the Twenty-First Ward—A Spirited Meeting at Which Fo- litical Kecords Were Reviewed. SMALL crack in the Democratic organization of the Twenty-first Ward, where an election is in progress to-day for a member of the House of Dele gates, threatens to split the party throughout the city. The Demo- cratic City Cen- tral Committee has decided that who was nominated at the primaries last May, and who ranadead heat with the Republican candidate, Mr. C. G. Schoenhard, April 2, is the regular party nominee until the election Is decided. Central Committeeman John Fleming opposed this rule, ana to-day is supporting John Lieshman, who was defeated by Blanke in a race for the nomination, and who 18 mak- ing the race as an independent candidate. The meeting of the committee which settled the candidacy was quietly called, but proved avery stormy session. The majority of the committeemen were in favor of declaring Blanke the party candidate for to-day’s elec- tion. To this Fleming objected. Lieshman was asked if he would abide by the decision of the committee. He said he would if the com- mittee would consent to calla primary in the Twenty-first Ward to decide the nomina- tion. Committeeman John B. O' Meara came to Fleming’s relief by moving that the whole business be referred to the committeman in the ward. This was putting the whole case in the hands of Liesh- man’s friend. Chairman Carlisle jumped to his feet and announced his firm determination not to vote forthat motion. Fleming then said: ‘‘This man Blanke isno Democrat.’’ ‘*He has been a member of the Congressional Committee for four years,’’ replied Chairman Carlisle. Nes, but before that, urged Fleming. „Before that, what were you?’’ demanded the Chairman, who it seemed had kept tab on the committeman—you were a Union Labor man and not a Democrat.’’ This shot silenced the dispute for a time and the committee ruling was accepted, sev- eral of the Noonan committeeman voting for the continuation of Blanke as the party’s can- didate at the coming election, though it was represented that Fleming and his friends were carrying out the Mayor’s wishes in urging the nomination of Lieshman. Fleming announced his determination to support Liesnman. Some of his fellow committeemen announced their determination to oust Fleming from the com- mittee if he carried out his resolution. Flem- ing is opposing Blanke’s candidacy true to his promises and it now remains to be seen what the Central Committee will do witha member who opposes the regular nominee. Fleming is a Noonan man and has somewhat the best of it in the dispute. Should he be ar- raigned inthe committee the Noonan com- mitteemen and the weak members who always want to be on the side of the appointing power would probably outnumber the opposition. If it was a close vote the impending Mayoral order might be giving the office- holding members of the committee a choice between holding their positions under the city government or their places in the committee, which will not be worth anything for two yearsto come. Should the fight on Fleming be pushed so far the Noonan faction would win by several votes, but the fight would possibly result in a bolt and double- barreled arrangements in several of the close wards. issued TO-DAY’S ELECTION in the ward is drawing outa good vote. The polis will remain open until 6 p. m. As an- nounced yesterday E. P. Fox did not submit name to the voters this morning, was no lack of candidates. W. Bilanke’s name appeared on the regalar Democratic ticket, John Lieshman was entered as an independ- ent Democratic candidate, while the names of Ernst P. Olshausen, C. G. Schoenbard who made the tie race with Blanke April 2, and C. L. Smith were voted on. Six polls are opened inthe ward to-day, located at the following places: 1344 Chouteau avenue, 1748 Chouteau avenue, 1010 Armstrong avenue, 2223 Chouteau avenue, 1303 Park avenue and 4038 South Nine- teenth street. Voters should apply at the —— nearest their residence, as an effort as been made to locate the polls in the center of the precincts. The fight between the Democratic candidates promises to bring out a heavy vote. Picnic Postponed, The Pope School picnic, which was to have taken place to-day at Lake Ramona on the Narrow Gauge Rallroad, Was postponed until Monday, June 17, on account of the weather. Prof. J. W. Hall has made great preparations for the picnic and looks for a big crowd. Stephen Moriarity’s Estate.

% as true now as then that offices in- | trusted to Presidents for public purposes | cannot be divided out as family property with the public approbation. But it is equally true that public disapprobation attaches to the division of offices as mere party property. Where they are obvi- ously disposed of with reference to the payment of personal or party obligations for services in conventions or campaigns, rather than with sole reference to qualifi- cations for the public service, the public are cheated and feel that a sacred public trust has been betrayed. When a Judge is promoted for political decisions on the bench we havea case of the most atrocious abuse of the appointing power. President HARRISON will exhibit a wonderful nerve if he promotes Judge Woops of Indianap- olis to the vacant place on the Supreme Bench. — — — — MONEY IN ELECTIONS. The movement for election laws to pro- tect the ballot-box from bribery and the voter from intimidation was not begun too soon. Itis surprising to learn from the Boston Herald's interviews on the sub- ject with ex-Governors, ex-Mayors, poli- ticians, merchants and manufacturers of Massachusetts, how generally they hold it right and proper to contribute and use money for securing desired political re- sults. The right of persons, companies or combinations possessed of great wealth to use it in controlling political movements for private ends was held to be unques- tionable, legitimate, frequently meces- sary tothe pretection of property rights and business investments, and generally conducive to the public welfare. | This deliberately announced doctrine that the almighty dollar is the rightful regent of American politics and a safer arbiter of American elections than the free unbought ballots of the people, is a srartling indication of the point to which plutocratic rule is tending. The matter- of-fact avowal of sucha doctrine by so many prominent men in one State, many of whom had been honored with great public trusts by the people, is an alarm- ing proof of the progress plutocratic views and methods have made among us in the last twenty-five years. In its last analysis this doctrine simply pits the purchasing power of wealth against the intelligence and patriotism of the people, gives corruption the deciding vote in elections and with it poisons every legislative process and the administration of every public trust. If the Pacific Rail- road people can wipe out their $100,000,000 of indebtedness to the Government by ex- pending $25,000,000 in elections and in ‘*enlightening’’ Congress they have the right to make $75,000,000 by the operation, according to this doctrine. A Government controlled by the power of money in politics is simply a rich man’s government, and not likely to be gen- erally just or even merciful to the toiling and tax-burdened masses who have no surplus cash to exchange for government favors. Unless the Money Power can be prevented from exercising this alleged right,“ and unless its undue influence can be eliminated from elections and barred out of legislative halls, the largest bribe will eventually decide every public question, and ‘‘a Government of the peo- ple, by the people and for the people” will cease to exist among us even in name. Its rescue depends upon the success of the popular electoral reform movement, which bas sprung into such vigorous life in all sections of the Union since last fall’s election. mne — * DISABLING BUSINESS BY STATUTE. Two rival gas companies in Baltimore entered into an agreement to raise the price of gas to $1.75, to pool their revenues and to divide profits on a fixed basis. The Consolidated Company being sued for $50,000 for services in effecting the com- bination, denied that it had agreed to pay for the said services and pleaded a Mury- land statute prohibiting any gas company from entering into any combination or contract with any other gas company whatever.’’ The case went to the United States Su- preme Court, and in delivering the decis- ion Chief Justice FULLER not only held that the Maryland statute was a bar to the collection of the claim, but he went further and distinctly declared that com- binations or agreements to prevent com- petition and raise prices were, on the part of these whose business is impressed with a public or quasi-public character, prejudicial to the public interests, against public policy and therefore unlawful. The decision clearly annouftced the prin- ciple, independent of the Maryland statute, thata corporation created fora public or quasi-public purpose, could not — 2 „disable itself by contract from perform- ing the public duties which it has under- „taken,“ nor by agreement “compel it- “self to make public accommodation or “convenience subservient to its private interests. From this recent decision it is apparent that the common law imposes on corpora- tions and concerns whose business is im- pressed with a public or quasi-public character every disability imposed on them by Missouri’s new statute against trusts, poole and combinations. Their legal disabilities are not in the least in- oreased by the statute. It seems to be merely an attempt, cunningly devised by corporation attorneys, to impose the same disabilities upon individuals and firms in the conduct of their strictly pri- vate business. In short, this statute seems m + 4ed to obliterate the marked distino- *hich the common law mak in tin ales aud againstcorp «- 1 ‘ustrial or comm. ly m- enterprise of a strictly private nature and against quasi-public operations endowed by the State with exclusive privileges and monopolies. The policy of the common law is to restrain monopolies and en- grossing combinations. The policy of the statute is to put new restrictions upon the freedom of trade in the hands of persons outside of the big corporations created by the State. Dealing Sensibly With the Negro. From the Philadelphia Record. The value of industrial education has been well illustrated at the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural Institute. A fundamental principle of the institution is the instruction of pupils in earning their own living. The 460 colored pupils have of late years been cred- ited with from $45,000 to §50,000 annually for their work on the farm, in the shops and in tne various branches of household industry. Not only does this training in self-help con- duce to the acquirement of skill and forma- tion of character, but it also exercises an in- fluence for good onthe people of their own race with whom thepuplis are brought into contact. The ‘‘negro problem,’’ of which we hear so much, will undoubtedly solve itself if the work of development may be carried out on thie line and without the harmful interfer- ence of idealists or politicians.

Where There’s a Will They’re Away. the Cincinnati Times-Star raga Si ke fos N LET THE PRISONER 00 A DECISION BY JUDGE NORMILE WHICH CREATED MUCH SURPRISE TO-DAY. Roddy Connors Discharged From the House ot Refuge, Contrary te All Rules Fre- viously Followed There—Other Boys Who Will Follow—The Superintendent Satis- fied—Text of the Opinion. HIS morning for the first time in thirty years the jurisdiction of the Board ot Management of the House of Refuge was defined. In a clear cut decision Judge Normile this morning de- cided the habeas corpus proceedings in the case of , . N the boy Roddy Connors and y LA wave the prisoner his lib- | — erty. On November 28, 1888, Roddy Connors, son of Jane ah Connors, was tried in the Criminal Court onthe charge of burglary and larceny, and upon conviction was sentenced to serve an imprisonment of six mouths injthe House of Refuge. He was at once committed to that institution and served his time. On May 2, six months from the time her son was sentenced, Mrs. Connors applied to Supt. Schaefer of the House of Refuge for the custody of the boy. Acting upen orders from the Board of Management the Superintendent refused the request. At- torney Furling then made application before Judge Normile in the Criminal Court fora writ of habeas corpus in order to gain posses- sion of the prisoner. The appended decision shows the success with which his efforts were attended. ' THE DECISION. Jane Connors, mother of a minor, Roddy Connors, prays this court to discharge her son from further detention in the House of Refuge. The discharge is claimed on the ground that Roddy Connors has served his sentence in fuil and should not, therefore, be longer detained in prison. It appears from the records of this court that on the 28th day of November, 1888, Roddy Connors, being then a boy of 14 years, was, for the of- fense of burglary in the second degree, sentenced to imprisonment in the House of Refuge for six months. This sentence was fully served on the 28th of May last past, The law, in its wisdom and tenderness for youth, forbids persons under 16 years to be impris- oned in the penitentiary at all. This minor, being much under 16, could under the general law of the State be confined only in some jail or in some house of refuge or work-house wherever such institutions may be provide for the safekeeping of State prisoners. The law, as if now exists, veste the judge committing such minor offenders with ower to send them either to jail, to the ork-house or to the House of Refuge, as the best interests of society and of the tender 22 ot the culprit may seem to him best. n the case of Roddy Connors before me it was considered best by the Court that he should be sent to the House of Refuge. Where one has served in any prison nis full sentence, he is entitled to his discharge. Roddy Connors has served his sentence in full, and should have been discharged at once from the House of Refuge at its expiration. The Super- .intendent of the House of Refuge, however, refuses to discharge this minor, on the ——5 that the act organizing the House of efuge vests the sole power to discharge in the Mayor and Board of Managers, a power he holds possessed by no other tribunal. The act relating to the House of Refuge may be foundin the second volume of the Revised Statutes, commencing at page 1543. Section 5 of this act says: „„The Mayor shall have authority to dis- charge any inmate from the House of Refuge when in hisopinion an urgent reason exists for granting said discharge before the next meeting of the Board of Managers, butin all other cases applications shall be made to said Board, which shall dispose ofthe same at a regular meeting. Minors may be sent or confined to the House Of Refuge both by the Mayor, as authorized by law, and also by sentences of the courts. The status of persons confined there by the Mayor is not before me and need not be con- sidered. The minor Roddy Connors is, how- ever, imprisoned under sentence of court for a violation of a general law of the State. Sec. 5 just quoted, in so far as it is held to confer the pardoning power of State prisoners in the Hiouse of Refuge on the Board of Managers, is pore unwarranted and unconstitutional. ‘he Board of Managers can exercise no such pardoning power over inmates confined for violation of the criminal laws of the State, and it makes no difference whether they are confined in the House of Refuge or in the Work-house. tion of the State of Missouri vesta in the Gov- ernor of the State the sole power to grant re- prieves, commutations and pardons after conviction for all offenses committed against the State. No other person or body can usurp this power, and any law that would seem to confer such power ou any other person or body is plainly void. Under section 5 and the sixth subdivision of section Sof the act relating to the House of Refuge, author- ity is assumed to be given to the board of managers to discharge an in- mate at their pleasure, or to hold him till he redches the age of 18. Any special or local law that contravenes the constitution of the State or the general statutes of the State must fail. Section 1666 of the general statutes of the State decrees that in nocaseshalla minor be sentenced to imprisonment for any offense for a term exceeding one year. It has often been declared by our Appellate Courts that anv local law is invalid and unconstitu- tional if it undertakes to provide a punisb- mentforan offense when committed in the city of St. Louis different from what the offense would receive when committed in the rest of the State. It is thus seen that if the sections quoted of the act organ- izing the House of Refuge be valid, we have this anomalous condition of affairs, that for the same offence, if committed outside of the City of St. Louisthe punishment cannot ex- ceed one year if the culprit be a minor, yet, if committed in the City of St. Louis the pun- ishment may be for eight or ten years, or un- tilthe minor culprit reaches theage of 18. Section 6 provides: All males under 16 years of age and females under 16 years of age, who shall, under existing laws of the State of Missouri be liable to confinement in the Work-house of the City of St. Louis, or the city jall, may, at the diseretion of the court or magistrate giving sentence,be placed in said House of Refuge,’ This section vests this court with the dis- crétionary power to send minors to the House of — in place of the jail or the Work- house. In the exercise of this discretion, and with the concurrence of the representative of this State, I sentenced Roddy Connors to six months’ imprisonment inthe House of Ref- uge. It is true that section 6, just quoted, provides: But no such commitment shall be mode for any specified term, but said minor or minors may be discharged at any time under the provisions of the preceding section.’’ The preceding section referred to is the section authorizing the Board of Managers to pardon or discharge whenever it suite them, a power, as Ihave hitiHerto indiogated, wholly void, it intended to have reference to State prisoners. That part of section six just quoted which seenis to gay that a commitment to the House of Refuwe shall not befor any specified time, is void in so far as it is applic- able tosentences of the Criminal Court. The general law of the State, the law applicable to all persons tried before me, whether they be minors or adults, requires the mitment to state specifically curation of the imprisonment, which com- mitment is the sole w t of the custodian of any prison for detaining such culprit. A sentence of this court committing a minor indefinitely, or until he reaches the age of 18, oruntilhe may be discharg the Board of Man s, would be absurdity, which court fully six months ago in passing sentence upon this minor. One part of a law be „ and gers ot detain an inmate under sentence of this Court be oad the limit of his sentence. uring such sen 100 pardon and discharge him Section 8 of the Constitu- . — By He is entitled to his Giecharae, which is hereby ordered. THE PRISONER IN COURT. During the time consumed by the reading of the decision the youthful prisoner sat in his place before the bar, his thubby face réd and swollen by the flood of pénitent tears which gushed forth at the legal reminders of his crime. When told by the Court that he could go his tears broke forth afresh, and after a few words of advice from the bench the pris- oner left the court-room in the keeping of his mother. By the decision two other boys whose sen- tences have expired will be at once released from the House of Refuge. Supt. Schaefer was pr t in the court room, and expre himself as being highly pleased atthe result. He said: ‘*For several years I have been between two fires. His Honor would sentence the prisoners for a limited time, and the Board of Management of the institution insisted upon their right to re- tain possession of the criminals until they reached the age of 18 years. Often, too, they exercised the pardoning power and released the inmates before the time for which they were sentenced had expired. Their action was In a measure justifiable, considering the fact that the local law was in direet confliction with the general law of the State as shown in the decision. Judge Normile holds that the State law is constitutional and discharges the prisoner upon that ground. The case was an unusual one and attracted considerable attention among the criminal attorneys at the Four Courts. Murder in Politics. world’s history. See SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH. ON THE GALLOWS. The part played by the assassin in the Two Negro Murderers Pay the Penalty in South Carolina, CoLumBiA, 8. O., June 8.—-Two negro mur- derers, Charles Colston and John Feaster, were hanged at Yorkville yesterday for the murder of W.C. Abernathy, a merchant at that place. On the night of January 25 last W. C. Aber- nathy, a merchant at Catawba Junction, York County, was sitting in his store after supper, as was his custom, his residence being only a short distance away. John Feaster and Chas. Colston went into the store, ostensibly to make some purchases, and found their victim sitting by the stove read- ing a newspaper. Some heavy single- trees were lying upon a box near by and just behind Mr, Abernathy, with one of which he was knocked senseless atthe first blow. The murderers then proceeded torobthe money- drawer, but their victim was beginning to show signs of regaining consciousness, when he was again struck. They then became frightened and ran off. This occurred be- tween 8 and 9 o’ clock. About II o’clock Mrs. Abernathy heard some One groaning near the front door, whereupor she got up and went out, to find her husband lying there in a dying condition, whither he bad wandered and fallen in his delirious state. He lingered for some days, and died without ever regaining consciousness. The crime for some time remained a mys- tery. At last suspicion pointed to Chas. Me- Manus as the last party who had been seen around the store. He was arrested and lodged In jail. Ten days or two week later John Feaster and Chas. Colston were arrested. The latter confessed the crime, implicating Feaster and five others. They went onthe scaffold at 11:40 o’clock. The death warrant was read and the usual re- ligious exercises, in which both men partici- pated, were gone through with. Both claimed to be innocent, though they made an open coniession before. Colston was so weak he held to the fatal rope to support himself. Feaster was cool and collected. The drop feil at 11:57, and twenty-three min- utes afterward the bodies were cut down. The necks of both men were broken, and they died without much struggling. The exeou- tion was private, being witnessed only by those designated by the law. SOLDIERS OF THE REPUBLIC. Mortar, Infantry and Cavalry Drills by the Graduates of West Point. By Telegraph to the Fosr-Disr Aren. West Pornt, N. Y., June 8.—Yesterday ended the examinations and forty-nine of the coming soldiers of the Republic will be on tenter hooks until Monday, when the result will probably be announced. There are only two features to-day—the practice of twenty- four horsemen in the Riding Academy and the dress parade at 6 o'clock. The riding was really excellent, considering the circumscribed area in which the men had to guide thelr steeds. Capt. Dorst had charge of this part of the exercises and put the men through a variety of man- euvers. They dashed over the tan at breakneck speed, made wonderfully short turns and showed great proficiency in sudden halts. Then in Indian file they plunged around the ring, striking their sabers at im- aginary enemies with rubber heads. Pistol practice While riding at full gallop followed, and the young soldiers displayed fairly good skill. A dre@s parade at West Point, notwith- standing its daily repetition, is always of in- terest. The forming of the parade last night was up to the usual mark of excellence. The programme for to-day comprises the mortar drill and the infantry skirmish drill. Three 8-inch and three 10-inch shells will be fired at a properly protected target in the river at IIA. m. In the afternoon the skir- mishers will go through the maneuvers as laid down in the tactics. It is expected that the hotel will be full to overflowing by noon, but the great advance guard of pretty cousins will not reach here before Monday.

O. H. Louis Beckers Sues His Mother, Caro- line Sessinghaus, for a Share in His Fath- er's Eatate—Curious State of Facts Grow ing Out of Marriage—Other Legal Opin- fons To-Day. A decision in a case where a son 15 years old sues his mother for an interest in his deceased father’s estate, was made by Judge Klein this morning. On November 11, 1881, Louis O. Beckers died leaving a wife, Caroline, and a son, ©. H. Louls Beckers, now 15 years ot age and residing witha relative, Miss Annie R. Beckers, who is his curatrix, in St. Louis County. By bis will he provided for the payment of his debts and funeral ex- penses ; Dequeathed $1,000 to his son to be paid on his reaching the age of 21 years, and then devised and bequeathed the residue of his es- tate, real, personal and otherwise, to his widow for life, provided she would be a mother indeed for her son;that she would bring him up inthe right pathand educate him according to her best judgment and the extent of her means, and provided also that she would not marry again; and in case she did marry again, he devised and bequeathed to her in lieu of such life estate only so much of hia estate as the laws of this State will allow her, the remainder to g0 tothe soa. She administered upon the estate and made a final settlement March 24, 1884, and tiring of her widow’s weeds, she married the co-defendant, FREDERICK SESSINGHAUDUS, December 19, 1887. Upon final settlement of the estate she received into her hands as life tenant under the will, the real and personal estate of her late husband, among which there were twenty shares of stock in the Fourth National Bank of st. Louis, the book vaiue of which at the time wag $160 per share. She should also have had on hand $6,143.25 in cash, but she bad expended of this sum $6,072.64 in putting up two nouses, Nos. 8118 and 3120 North Tenth street, which she erected in 1883 upon some real estate which was part of the estate. In April or May, 1888, the Fourth National Bank issued to her in the name of her husband, a certificate for twenty shares more of stock, but how this came to be issued is not shown in the evidence. It was a stock dividend and in 1887, the bank’s books showed the stock worth $40 ashare. The court says: There is evi- dence tending to prove thatthe value of the improvements erected by Mrs. Sessingbaus in 1883 had depreciated to the sum of $5,000 in December, 1887, when the life estate was term- inated at her marriage, and the controversy in this case arises over the division of the new twenty shares of stock in the Fourth National Bank and on the question whether Mrs. Ses- singhaus is to be charged with anything on account of the depreciation of the improve- ments erected by her. There is some evidence tending to prove that the improvements in question have not depreciated in value, but are worth as much as when built. Asto the shares of stock, it will be seen that the Fourth National Rank was accumulating a large part of its profits during the continuance of this life estate. When the life estate was created the book value of the stock was $160 a snare, when it terminated the value was $240, showing an increase of $80per share. Now while this increase was earned in one sense, it was not in sucha condition that the life tenant could demand or receiveit any time during the existence of her estate. Un- til the Board of Directors of acorporation de- termine by lawful action to distribute the profits that have been earned, the title to them belongs to the corporation itself. In Williams vs. the Western Union Telegraph Co. (61 Hon. Pr., 217) it is said by the court: It is now well settled that a shareholaer in a corporation has no legal title to its ACCUMULATED PROFITS until divided, and when divided they go to the shareholders.’’ If the stock dividend in this case had been declared during the continu- ance of the life estate of Mrs. Sessinghbaus I should have applied the principles of the New York and Pennsylvania cases and apportioned the new stock between the mother and her son, giving her the benefit of the earnings of the stock to which she was entitled. But as the stock divided was not declared until after the termination of her estate, the cases cited have no application to the facts in this case. This view is strength- ened by the peculiar provisions of the will of Mr. Beckers. Her estate is not an absolute, but a conditional one—conditioned on her re- maining unmarried. Upon breach of the con- dition which happened he gives her, in lieu of the life estate, only so much ag the laws of this State allow herasa widow. The life es- tate being at an end, she can only take a child’s share in the net personal estate as it existed at the death of the testator and no more. It follows that she must account for one-half of the original twenty shares, and also for one-half of the new twenty shares and for the dividends she has received thereon. A tothe money in- vested in the improvements, the widow as life tenant had no lawful right to invest the money ofthe estate in permanent improve- ments ofthe realty. But in this suit it is not sought to charge her with the entire amount she invested, but only with the loss which the depreciation in value of the improvements has entailed on the estate. From the evidence it is clear that the houses built by her six years ago are not worth as much as they cost. The income is less. The natural wear and tear of the tene- ments is considerableeven though the owner keeps them in GOOD REPAIR and it seems quite clear that the property is not actually enhanced in value to the extent of $6,072 expended by her in improv- ing it. Tne depreciation may be va- riously estimated from notbing to 31, 500. This seems to be the highest amount fixed by any witness. The plaintiff claims that $1,000 should be charged against Mrs. Sessinghaus on this account, and it is quite evident that this is no more than just an uitabie, and it will therefore be charged. There will be a decree for plaintiff requiring the defendant, Caroline Sessinghaus, to assign and deliver to the plaintiff forthwith one-half of the twentv shares of stock the Fourth National Bank of 8. Louis represented by certificate No. 405; one-half of twenty sb in said bank received by her in May, 1888; one-half of three shares of stock in the Northwestern Savings Bank; one-half of four shares of stock in the Union Hall Associa- tion and defendant, Caroline Is also to be re- guired by said decree to pay to plaintiff, her son, within five days the sum of $721.62 and the costs of this suit.“ OTHER RULINGS.

New York, June 8.—Otto Biesel and his good frau had been absent from the Fatheriand for over fifteen years, when nine months ago they packed away their chattels in San Antonio, Tex., where they had been living, and set out for a pilgrimage to Germany. They took along with them their five children, the oldess of whom, Anton, was 24 and the youngest, Lizzie, 7. When they returned to this country a week ago on the steamer Traave they were minus one son, Paul by name. The father and mother told a pitiable story about the loss of the youth and the former fears he may never see the again unless the American Government lends bim aid. Paul Biesel is 18 years and 6months old and although born in Saxony he has lived in this country with his parents most of his life. When the family were just stepping on board the Traave at Bremen the youth was foreed from them, sothey say, by the German — lice, because he nad not served his time in the Emperor William’s 1 The — nad no intimation of trouble till the very last mo- mentand there was then no time for re- monstrance. It was on May 15,’’ says the father, that we were to sail, and during the preparations for departure an officer asked for Paul’s pass- port. I had been told py.the Consul at Dres- den that he would require no papers as I was a naturalized citizen of the United States. I endeavored to explain this tod the omelal to- gether with the fact that the boy was an American citizen, having emigrated with me when he was a mere child. The man paid no heed, however, to my protestations and said that he must detain the boy forthe army. My wife added her entreaty and explanation to mine, but with nv avail. The whistles began to blow, and almost before we knew it my boy had been dragged on shore.’’ Otto Biesel isa machinist by trade and now: works with his two oldest sons at an iron foundry in this city. Both heand his wife appear to de bonest, industrious people and have a neat little fat on the third story of the house at No. 1625 avenue B. Mr. Biese!l has been to see the German Consul, August Feige! about the matter and was told that he ought to refer the matter to Secretary Biaine. Mre. Biesel can hardly speak a word of English, and ignorant of international complications, ex- pects to see her child in a “few has been heard tue age en landed and by this time he is probaby being drilled into a stalwart Prussian brave. The father has his final naturalization papers, dated Febru- ary 14. 1888, at San Antonio and the oldest son, Anton, had his regular passport signed by Minister Pendleton. Whether the boy is a subject of the Emperor William by his birth, or a regular citizen through the naturalization of the father before his coming of age, is the question to determine, If he is a natural ward of Uncle Sam, then here's s good chance for Mr. Blaise to exercise his ‘vigorous foreign policy.’’ In the meantime the Biesel family will remain in New York and await developments.

In consequence of their effortsthere has been a growing demand for the property and the improvers have had before their eyes the realization of good ~»profits for their enterprise. Owners of sections con- tiguous to those held by these Improvers have endeavored to dispose of their property, but have not been able to get through the market because of excessive valuations. In conse- quence, where their agents have been unscru- Dulous, a system of threats has been resorted to to compel the improvers to purchase. GEORGE D. CAPEN of the Forest Park Improvement Association said this morning: ‘‘We have been told if we Adu 't buy that property at Maryland avenue and King’s highway it would be devoted to disreputable uses. A disreputable house would be placed there we were told. When that did not fetch us we were threatened with a livery stable, and now comes the beer gar- Gen plan. I don’t think that anyone intends to open a garden there and if they dol know at the brewers are not behind them. The Statement has been made that the brewers were backing the people who proposed to es- tablish ‘a pleasure resort on that property.’ Ellis Wainwright, President of the St. Louis Ps N ‘ ‘ "4 4 9 . — . 8 * 8 1 . 5 Rene ‘ - * — 1 2 — U 1 R PASTOR FLOCK. Peonliar Practices of = Religious Sect in the Delaware Kiver Valley. By Telegravh to the Post-Dieratcu. | MIDDLETOWN, N. T., June 8.—There is a lively stir and excitement among the inhab- itants ot the Delaware River Valley near Lordville and Equinunk stations, on the Erie Rallroad, over the doings of a peculiar relig- ious body there, who call themselves Holiness People and who practice the faith cure. The pastor of the flock is the Rev. J. Lee Gamble, an eccentric zealot, who has gained a large and biindly devoted following from among the ultra pious a less enlightened people of the region. e was formerly con- spicuous in the Methodist ministry, but bis erratic tendencies led him some years to renounce the restraints of that communion and to embark in the task of evangelizing the world on more radical lines of doctrine and by — enthusiastic methods of missionary work. Pastor Gambie’s sincerity and conscien- tlousness are attested by the fact that he only, among tue hundreds of thousands of pen- sioned war veterans, has rejected the Govern- ment bounty on moral grounds. Physically he is much of a wreck, suffering from diseases and disabilities contracted asa captive Union soldier in Andersonville Prison, and formerly he drew a pension of $12 amonth. Butin course of time his conscience became awak- ened to the fact that apartofthe pension fund was ooliected by the Government in the form of taxes on whisky and tobacco, and he therefore notified the Pension Department that he renounced his claim to the pension, as he could no longer accept money polluted by connection with the unholy trafic in these articles. Along with his radical temperance views, Pastor Gamble carries on a flery crusade against secret societies and against church fairs and entertainments, against dances and theatrical shows and against the wearing of jewelry and costly apparel. He insists upon the saving grace of tinmersion in baptism and of anointing with oil and teaches the lambs of his fook that it would be infinitely wicked for them to intermarry with sinful woridliness. In common with the rest of the Holiness ople, who are mainly secoders from the lethodist church and who claim to get their doctrines pure from the teachings of John Wesley, Pastor Gambie bolds that by faithful self-consecration to pieus duties the believer may become entirely siniess and holy in this life and that all forms of disease may be ey healed in response to fervant prayer and faith. During the past few weeks the faith cure has been brought into active and extensive practice in PastorjGamble’s pre- cinct, many sick persons coming there from long distances for treatment. Believers claim that numerous cures have been effected, notably in the cases of a twenty-year drunk- ard, an insane person andga bedridden woman —all prayed over, anointed and radicaily healed. On the other hand the scoffers of the region declare that not one person has been really and permanently helped in Pastor Gambie’s faith cure temple, and they denounce the noisy gatherings offrantic enthusiasts there as an unmitigated nuisance. In fact, they go further and afiirm that the unnatural fa gue and excitement to which the sick are sub- jected bas in a number of instances killed the patients, and on this score there is growing a bitter public ve my | toward the Holiness practitioners which is liable at any moment to break out into mob violence. ‘SERGT. WEBER'S DEFENSE HOW A BOMB WAS THROWN INTO TRE CAMP OF LISUT. WATKINS. The Close of a Great Case—Testimony Was Concinded and the Evidence Summed Up—Argam fits in Full—sergt. Weber’s Fate Is Sealed, but the Verdict ls a Mystery. OW at last the Weber court-martial has concluded the case before it and yester- day afternoon when the doors were closed forever and the fate of the Sergeant was placed in the hands of the court all na- ture wept. The sky was over-cast, the wind played a mel- Li ancholy tune on the branches of the trees, the down pouring tor- rents of rain beat against the walls of the court-room and hummed a plaintive wall in a minor key. The old Barracks, now tottering with age, seemed to droop a little lower and the fountain on the lawn played sadly. The doors of the court were closed while the verdict was determined upon, and when they opened a transformation not less marvel- ous than complete was witnessed by those who looked on in wonder. One of the officers came from the room with a look ot intense deligut on his face. He clasped his sword in loving embrace and stretching one band out to heaven said: Thank God, the army is safe! and as he did the rain ceased and the sun burst out from behind the clouds and smiled upon the earth, the fountain threw its spray merrily into the air andthe great Arsenal Band played ‘‘America.’’ SERGT. WEBER'S DEFENSE. The Post-DIsPpatTcu of yesterday gave the full statement of Sergt. Weber's defense and what occurred up to the time of going to press. The testimony that was taken later was brought out by some skillfully pre- pared questions whicb Mr. Marshall put to the Sergeant, andthe answers gave briefly and pointediy the grounds on which the defense was based. Sergt. Weber said that his re- mark to Gray, I may be back in a few days, was not meant for Lieut. Watkins, nor was it said in disrespect of him. When he told Gray to move his things out of the private office Gray hesitated as if he did not know what to do and Weber said to him: ‘‘Make room for them anywhere, I may be back in a few days, simply to give Gray an idea what disposition to make of the property. Sergt. Weber told 1 ~ 10 * . * 1 Ww , ‘a r The command must be lawful n uperior „ That «Lieut. Watki the superior is beyond on, the qu words superior officer having been inter- preted to mean any commissioned officer su- * in the rank to the accused. But was he order a lawful one? Undoubtedly there is no ciple of law so well established as that holding an individual neible for his own acts, and that an un- lawful order from a superior, though it may palliate, cannot justify. But in yay upon this — for himself a soldier takes the responsibility into his own hands. It remains for a court to decide upon the lawfylness of the order, and should it de- cide adversely to the accused the consequences of the disobedience must be n just penalty de- military standpoint is immaterial, as is aiso the fact that the accused occupied at the time what may be called a quasi military position. He is an enlisted man and as such is subject to the same rules and articies that contro! the soldiers of the armies of the United States. On the other hand it is patent and not to be denied thatthe accused acted on a supposi- tion that Lieut.

PROGRAMME OF TO-DAY GOES | OVER TILL MONDAY. Starter Ferguson's Poor Work Yesterday— Til Luck of the Chicage Stables—Horses Who Will Start in the American Derby at Chicago—Base Ball and Sporting News of All Kinds. 5 AD weather caused the postponement of to-day’s races until Monday, when the events that were to have taken place to-day will be run. Monday pro- gramme goes back until; Tuesday and soon, so that each day's programme will go over a day 1 and the meeting will close on Monday. June 17, itistead of Satur - day, June 15. There were five races on to- day’s programme, one stake, two handicaps and two purse races. The entries stood in the stake race and bandicaps, but the entries in the purses were declared off and new entries were made which closed at (o clock this aft- ernoon. Pools will be sold to-night on all the races for Monday. The entries which stood ares those in the Charles Green stakes, with $1,500 added, one mile and a quarter for 3-year- olds, the third race on the programme; the handicap sweepstake purse, with 3600 added, nine furlongs, which is the fourth race on the programme, and the handicap purse of $400, five furlongs, which is the first event of the day. New entries were made in the second race, a selling purse of $500, six furlongs, and the steeplechase purse of $500, which winds up the day’s sport. Some Very Bad Starts. A teature of yesterday’s races was the mis- erable starting. Out of six races only one really good start was made. This was in the Merchants’ Eclipse where the four horses got off beautifully. During most of the meetin Mr. Ferguson did splendidly, but he appeare te lose patience and yesterday after one or two failures to get away the horses, sent them off to any kind ofastart. Inasmuch as the horses ran for stakes and purses offered by the Jockey COlub and there are thousands of dollars bet on them in the pools with the approval of the as- sociation, it is but fair that more care should be exercised in the starting. When Mr. Fer- guson left Roche atthe post the other day with the animai’s head turned in the wrong direction there was little complaint, because Roche has a most vicious temper and acted very badiy, and the horses were not sent away until all reasonabie efforts were exbausted attempting to get the horse away. Yesterday Mr. Ferguson again had some _ troublesome animals to handle, but instead of endeavoring to get them off soon lost patience with them, and, after a few attempts, sent the horses off to execrabie starts. The trouble commenced inthe very first race, when Nettie Kent and Tom Tinker acted badly, and the field was finally sent off toa straggling start, in which Leia had the worst of it. But this was a much better start than those which followed. The Dude and Tudor behaved badly in the second race, and when the start was finally given Tu- dor had the best of it by a length and Prather was almost left at the foot. In the fourth race the worst start of all was made, The Moor, one of the most heavily backed horses in the race, being left at the post. He was second choice in the pools and carried a reat deal of money. he colt acted very adly, but instead of exercising a little patience Mr. Ferguson sent the field away with the horse’s head pointed in the wrong direction. The other horses were fully ten lengths ahead of him before be was finally started right, Ile then gained on the field for awhile, but he soon had to quit, as the greatest orse in the world could not make upthat distance in a five furlong dash, unless he was tog | against a lot of street car horses. Gertie B. and Adele Mu. gavesome troublein the fifth race, andthe result wasthat after a few unsuccessful at- tempts Mr. Ferguson sent the fleldoff with Gertie B. at the post, and she received five or six lenghts the worst of the start. She gained two or three lengths, but was of course never inthe race. Fanchette was given avery bad start without any provocation in the sixth race. It. would not have made any difference in the result anyhow asthe company proved entirely too fast forthe old mare, but the starter is not supposed to know those things and itis his business to give a fair start. What made the bad starts worse was the fact that they were all given in short races where a borse has little time or chance to cut down a lead given against him. The first race was three-quarters ofa mileand nodoubt Lela would have beee beaten even with a favorable start, and the same is probably true of Tue Moor, for Blarneystone, Jr., was in magnificent form, still this does not excuse the poorstarts. Prather finished second in the second race, a seven furlong dash, and with a fair start would have had a good chance to win. The race in which The Moor was left was only five furlongs, as already stated, and the Gertie B. race was the same distance. This horse finally gained a couple of lengths on the winner, Lula B., who finished under the whip, so that with a proper start Gertie B. would probably have won. The Fanchette race was a seven furlong dash, none of the five races being as far AS a mile, Mr. Ferguson is a most genialand kindly gentleman personally, and should endeavor to exercise the same patience with horses that he does with his fellowmen. Certain it ig that another day’s work like that of yesterday will do away with the favorable impression his work in the opening days of the meeting created. Mr. BRankins’ III-Luck. The Chicago stables have been having a rare run of ill-luck this season, and Mr. Hankins, their enterprising owner, bas received slight returns on his enormous outlay for horses. All through the Southern circuit the entire stable was out of shape and showed up very poorly in the events for which they com- ted. Galen, who was one of the crack -year-olds of the country last season, did nothing this yedr. He made a record last season of a haif-milein 48 seconds and fin- ished third in the Futurity stakes. While his performances * year were very poor his owner ascribed that tothe faet that he was in no condition to run and expected him to be as good as ever eventually. hile being ex- ercised the other day on the track the colt broke down, and his break-down is now known to be permanent. Both his front legs are gone, and he will never start in a race again. The colt was valued at $10,000. Mr. Hankins expected to win the Chicago Horseman’s Challenge Foal stakes, which were run Thursday {with Galen, and also anticipated securing several other valuable events with him. Thecolt bad just been got into pretty good form when he met with hie mishap. Untilafew days ago Terra Cotta was not the dest form, and Huntress, who lost Thursday, is in condition to do herself justice. Not only bas the stable been unfortunate in getting its horses into shape, but has experienced the same difficulty with Jimmy McLaughlin, the crack fookey, whom Mr. Hankins pays $10,000 for the season for firstcall on his services. In addi- tion to this McLaughlin gets $25 for all win- ning and $10 for all losing mounts, and when the stable has no entry ina race has the — so of riding for others. McLaugblin as been unable to get down to riding weight forthe younger horses. Mr. Hankins is ex- pected to-morrow from Chicago. The American Derby Candidates. The American Derby at Chicago promises to bring together all the crack 8-year-olds of the West. Isaac Murphy is said to have been en- gaged to ride Proctor Knott, whom Sam Bry- ante te to have in fine form by that time. Tom ey, who piloted Spokane to victory fornia in the derby at San lowered the e an 0 nu the betters Fran th to 2:36 this spring. the pink of condi be the e The rain yesterday held down the attend- ance at the races, although the shower at the was not nearly as heavy as down town and the little water it did oe im ed The time made in four 9 ise war noses’ wid Ferguson's was Botta cent chird. Tine Martin Sta- ble’s pair, were such big or the Merchants’ Hclipse Stakes, $1,000 added, one mile and a quarter, that 1 to “ were the best odds the bookies would give against them. Fayette and — Montgomery were the only other entries. It was a fast race and at the finish Fayette was so close to Santalene that McLau Elin. fearing a repetition of the Nashville affair, where the stable was beaten because he beld in Terra Cotta, supposing the horse’s stable companion had the race, let the great gelding have his head and he won by half a length from Santalene, Fayette being most a length back of him and Stony Mont- gomery beaten off. Time, 2: 0 Biarneystone, Jr., proved an easy winner in the fourth race, a purse of $400 for 2-year-olds who had not won a sweepstake ora purse of the value of $400; five furlongs. Armeil fin- ish second and Queen Anne third. The was 1:044%. Jess Armstrong, The Asp, Rhyme, Bessemer and The Moor were the other starters. The last named was left at the post. The fifth race was governed by similar con- ditions, the fourth race having been split on accqunt of the large numberof entries. It was won by Lula B. by a length, Adele M. be- ing second and Kyrie B. third. Lottie 8., El- len Douglas, King Fortune, Lutha Lee and Gertie B. were the other starters. The time was 1:04%. Gertie B. was left —.— four lengths behind at the start or she would prob- ably have won, as she finisned within three lengths of the winner. Dan Honig’s colt Cartoon won the sixth aad last race, a purse of $500, six furlongs. Time, 1:144%. Marehma was second and Valuable third. Queen of Trumps, Havillan and Fan- chette were the other starters. Cartoon was the favorite. Jerome Park Races. The Jerome Park races yesterday resulted as follows: First race, Sequence stakes, five-eighths mile—Mucilage, first; Maximus, second; Kempland, third. Time, 1:02.

This structure is to be erected by J. N. Ghio for a photograph gallery. The same archi- tectural firm has also prepared for Mr. Ghio the plan for a two-story stone and brick bulid- ing, to be erected at No. 2810 Washington avenue. This structure, it is estimated, will cost $15,000. All its exterior metal trimmings will be of copper. POSTPONED UNTIL FALL. On account of the lateness of the season and approaching hot weather the School Board has decided to sell no more ot its property until fall. WASHINGTON AVENUE PURCHASES. The firm of Bradley & Quinette have mage a splendid showing of sales within the past few days, their principal deal being a $15,000 transaction in unimproved Washington ave- nue residence property situated on the south side, about thirty feet east vf Taylor, where a frontage of 300 feet, owned by Miss Mamie McClure, was sold by the firm at $50 a foot to Isaac N. Miller. This ground has a depth of 254 feet and Mr. Quinette says it lies a little above grade, the prettiest building site upon the avenue. It has been Oniy a few days since John Dwyer purchased 500 feet in the same block from Miss McClure at $50 a foot, this piece be- ing located about 600 feet to the east of the plot bought by Mr. Miller, from which it may be presumed that there is a good demand for the property at the 1 stated, and that values in the vicinity of Taylor avenue are enhanc- ing rapidly. No public improvements have been made in that locality with the exception of grading Taylor avenue, which is being ex- tended to Lindell boulevard, butatthe rate that new residenees are being constructed and continually pushed westward in this new territory. The prospects that it will be fully improved and solidly built up in a courle of years are most favorable. Bradiey & Quinette report the following additional sales: Cote Brilliante avenue, north side, 400 feet west of Marcus; a 30x205 foot lot at $18 a foot, from John R. Christian to George W. Roederer. Cote Brilliante avenue, north side, about 470 feet west of Marcus, 560x205 feet of ground at $18 a foot fr John R. Christian to Mar- garet A. Griffin.

Property-owners on Cote Brilliante avenue, Lucky street and Garfield avenue are very in- dignant over their failure to secure the pas- sage of ordinances opening those streets west- ward to Marcus avenue. A. L. Ryland of 4594 Cote Brilliante avenue, who has been very active in presenting the petitions and claims of the property-owners to the Board of Public Improvements ,said to-day: ‘‘ We secured over two years agoan order for drafts of ordi- nances for the opening of those streets from the Board of Public Improvements. Six months ago they were pigeon-holed. To-day Cote Brilliante avenue is being choked off at Cora place, an enterprise in violation of section 1, chapter 6of the city charter. By the establishment of Hammett place and Cora place five streets are stopped from further extension and we—a large num- ber who have small estates—find that we have very little influence. In fact we cannot get Lucky. street widened from 30 to 50 feet be- tween Taylor avenue and the east line of the Papin tract, a distance of about 1,200 feet, so as to get it to conform to its width east and west of the points - indicated.

Now we don’t ask the board to break Lucky street through Cora place. We ask for just the widening of the 1,200 feet or so to make the atreet symmetrical, and Delegate Stone has recommended this action, without success. Why the board will permit one person to cho off five streets, and will not widen one block atthe request of many taxpayers, but not wealthy citizens, is a question we would like ex- — . — A foundation ofa large and costly ullding is being laid rapidly right upon what is, or should be, a continuation of Cote Brilliante avenue, on the west side of Cora place.

As was foreshadowed in the PostT-DISPATCH some time ago, Capt. Robt. McOulloch was appointed to the general management of the Broadway street car line, which was some time ago added to the Holmes Chicago syndl- cate of local street railway lines. Capt. Me- OCulloch assumed the general management this morning. Mr. Charies Ischer, the former manager, who sosuccessfully controlled the big road for the past nine or ten years, will be re- tained as assistant to Capt. McCulloch. Mr. Ischer’s duties will be practically the same as they were before, even tothe employing and discharging of men. Doubtless other changes are in contemplation, but what they are or whom they will ect is not known. It is rumored to-day that Mr. John Patterson, who for a quarter of a century has been superintendent of repairs on the Broad- way line, will be given charge as general su- purintendent of constructien of all the syndi- cate lines. There is some taik of a general system of tickets being adopted for all the lines of the syndicate. Christian Peper, the former President of the line, is now Vice-President, but beyond that will in the future have nothing to say so far as relates to the general management of the company, Capt. McCulloch being in abso- lute charge, even to the siguing of checks. Early and Important changes in the road are contemplated, such asthe building of the electric system, new and improved cars, new time-tables and in fact, athorough and acceptable policy of assenger accommodation. Capt. McCulloch, n company with Mr. Ischer, made a thor- ough inspection to-day of his new charge. The Broadway line adds 50 cars ome gta ee to Capt. McOullioch’s charge. e has already given an order to a local street car manufacturing company for the construction of $15,000 worth of new rolling stock. It is stated that his salary as manager of the five syndicate roads, the Broadway, Franklin Avenue, Northern Central, Cass Avenue and Union Line will be $10,000, but he will say nothing about this. Despite the rumors, the Benton-Bellefon- taine street car line is in no way connected with the syndicate nor is there any prospect of such a movement. Capt. McCulloch, who is also Superintendent of that line, gave a post- tive contradiction to the stories of this kind which have been so long floating around in railroad circles.

Difficult Problems to Be Solved—What Effect River Improvement Has on Peints Below — Danger of Channel Changes—Necessity of Allewing Overflows to Centinue—An Important Meeting. N my opinion, the meeting of the con- vention for the im- provement of the Western rivers, which is to be held in Cincin- nati on September 4,’’ said Herbert A. Ryer- son of Quinoy, III.. who is at the Laclede, ill be one of the most important that have assembled for many years, as it is prob- able that plans will be adopted which will govern the general style of river improve- ment for several years to come. The three streams to be considered are the Mississippi, the Missouri and the Ohio, but notafew men interested in lands along the Red and White Rivers will be present and join in the discussion. DIFFICULTY OF RIVER IMPROVEMENT. The question of river improvement, im- portant as it is to the inhabitants of the Mis- sissippi Valley, is by no means a aimpie one. Most people have an idea that money alone is needed and that overflows can be prevented by erecting solid dykes at the points where experience has shown that danger existed. If this was the case there would not be any necessity for holding a convention, the only thing required being to bring sufficient influ- ence to bear to induce Congress to make the necessary appropriations. But simply to erect levees at exposed points and to narrow the channel of the river in order to confine the current and cut channels through sand- bars would before long lead to a con- dition of affairs ffar worse than the present. Engineers have no such compli- cated problem presented to them as that concerning the best way to govern the cur- rent of alluvial rivers. A mistake may cost millions of dollars and render thousands of acres of land not only of little value, but dan- gerous. I have been talking with one of the engineers in chargeof the works at Keokuk, and learned some very remarkable facts, which will be clearly brought out before the Cincinnati Convention. CHANGING THE CHANNEL. In the first place, any change of the channel is likely to have effect on all points below. especially the case inthe three rivers which are to be considered, as they are subject to frequent overflows, and are very slightly con- fined between low and soft banks. At one time during the improvement of the river above Quincy, the erection ot an apparently insigniticant dyke came near changing the current in such a way as to leave as about a mile inland. Not only did the work have to be torn down, but other dykes had to be erected to make the stream return to its old channel. The towns and cities all alon the banks of the river, an which owe their existence to it, may at any time be cut off from water com- munication by works which are highly ad- vantageous to points above. This of course must not be done, but how to avoid it is a most difficult problem. Ajlevee which will do no harm in ordinary stages of the water may in time of flood cause a change of channel twenty miles below which will render prac- tically valueless hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of property. lhe number of places that have been washed away or cut off from water communication on the Ohio and Mississippi is proof enough of this danger, and the greater the amount of improvement the greater the risk. The Missouri, if they ever attempt to Go much to it will be even worse. DISADVANTAGE OF CONTINUOUS DYKES. But even were this difficulty successfully overcome a still more serious one is to be con- sidered. There is a good deal of talk of the possibility of preventing overflows by heavy dykes, if necessary walling the river from endtoend. It experience is worth anything it proves that such a seourse would absolutely destructive to the river in a short eriod ot time. The Mississippi is one of the eaviest silt-bearing streams in the world and the only safety lies in allowing overflows. In flood time the amount of solid matter heid in suspension ls immense. When the flow of the water is rapid the deposit le small. When the stream overfiows the current is, of course checked and a great proportion of this deposit is — left beyond the banks. This acts as n safety valve, as when the waters return to their | channel most ofthe silt has been left behind. But if overflows were checked the earth held in suspension would have to be dro in the bed of the stream, raising the level of the bottom. Within a very few years thie would raise the river high above the adjoining coun- try and have to be confined to its course by e heaviest works ever attem — recog studied those who will be present at Cincinnat! know the situation. Asan instance of the effect of con- tinuous dykes, Imay mention the Po. That stream is as clear as crystal when com with our Western waters, but the deposit has raised the bottom to such an extent that it is now above the tops of the bouses, and the greatest care has to be exercised to prevent disastfous s. WORK OF THE CONVENTION. „„The principal point to be considered will be how best to ulate overflows and throw them in sections where they will do the least damage.
