Delegate Julius Lehmann’s De- . murrer Overruled on Every Point Raised to Save Him. He Will Face a Jury on Next Monday in the United States District Court if He Does Not Jump His Bond in the Meantime— The Federal Grand Jury Resumes Its In- vestigation Into the Nuturalization Frauds of Last October—Other Trials. ELEGATE JULIUS LEHMANN must face the music. 80 said Judge Thayer, in the ‘United States District Court this morning, when, with a careful opinion, he battered down the barricade of technicalities which the political worker had built up about him. The hopes of the offenders were blasted by the decision in the Lehmann case. In his demurrer to the in- dictment Lehmann raised points which, if sustained, would have secured the acquittesl of all the parties implicated and threatened with indictments in connection with the elec- tion frauds of November, 1888. Last summer, in preparation for the Novem- ber contest, thousands of foreigners were naturalized in the Court of Criminal OCorrec- tion, under What is known as the minor“ section. This entitled any one proving that he had come to this country while a minor to naturalization papers, on which he was au- thorized to register and vote at once. Many of these papers we issued on false testimony, and indictments making these charges against Delegate Julius Lehmann and Sergeant-at- Arms Adam Neibert of the House of Delegates were found by the Grand-jury. Lehmann was made the leader of THE FORCES OF THE OFFENDERS. He raised the point that under the law, faisely swearing to the qualifications of an ap- plicant for citizenship in the Court of Orim- inal Correction was no offense for the reason that the court was not authorized to isgue pa- pers under the transfer of power by the Fed- eral statute. The point was also raised that there was no legal provision for taking the teatimony in which it is alleged the defendants perjured them- selvesand that consequently no offense was committed. Lehmann hoped to escape behind one of these points. Had the Court sustained the first point raised it would bave disposed of ail the cases founded on papers issued from that tribunaiand would bave invalidated thou- sands of naturalization papers issued by that Court since its creation. Judge Thayer did not sustain the first or the last or any of the intermediate points. PASSING UPON THE DEMURRER when court opened this morning he said: The first question raised by the demurrer filed in this case is whether the Court of Criminal Correction of the County (now City) of St. Louis has power to naturalize aliens. Sec. 2,165, Revised Statutes of the United States confers such power on ‘Courts of record ofany of the States having common law juris- diction.’ The Court of Criminal Correction is declared to be a court of record by the second section of the act establishing that court, hence the sole point for consideration is whether it is also a court common law jurisdiction,’ within the meaning of the Federal statute.’ Thatisa question, as it appears to me, that admits of little controversy. The juris- diction of all the courts in t is and other States is defined with greater or less particu- larity by the statutes, and in that sense their jurisdiction is statutory. But, as is well known, certain courts in this as well as in other States have power to punish offenses that existed at common law and to inforce private rights and to redress private wrongs recognized by the common law and in the ex- ercise of that power their action is governed by the principles, rules and usages of the common law in so far as they bave not been modified or abolished by statutes. Courts of this description are usual termed ‘‘courts of common law jurisdiction’’ to distinguish them from other inferior tribu- nals organized to enforce lotalor municipal regulations or rights and duties not secog- nized by the common law. Sec. 2,165 evidently refers to courts exercis- ing the jurisdiction above described. Congress intended to confer the power of naturalization on all courts of record of the several States that have power to administer justice under and in accordance with that system of juris- prudence known as the common law. Tried by such test the Court of Criminal Correction has power to naturalize aliens. It is a State court and not a municipai court. It issues process in the name of the te that may run and beexecutedin any part of the State; the judge of the court has power to issue writs of habeas corpus, ite proceedings are conducted according to the course of the com- mon law in so far as the practice of common law has not been modified by the code of criminal procedure adopted in this State, and it has exclusive original r of all misdemeanors under the laws of the State 2 in the county (now city) of St. uls. As the common law and all general statutes ‘| enacted by Parliament prior to the fourth ‘year ofthe reign of James I. have been ex- pressly adopted in this State, it follows that the Court of Criminal Correction has power to punish acte that were misdemeanors at common law, although they have not been expressly declared to be misdemeanors by any law of this State. It must accordingly look to the common law in a measure to ascer- tain the extent of its powers and is .just as truly a court of common 3 jurisd as the Circuit Court of the 8 fense was committed under vised Statutes, on which th predicated. opinion on this In concluding h Judge Thayer sald: eet e court is at to h other is indictment is n such as 8 defective because it failed to LATEST EDITION would be b.

While the court was considering the Leh- Mann case the Federal Grand-jury reassem- bled after a three-weeks vacation and ro- sumed the investigation into the naturaliza- tion frauds. The jury is 2 of the fol- lowing gentlemen: Albert B. Bowman, r A ee Jones, Franklin Coun- eee Washington County; * Wm. Wertheimer, Gorman William pf Walker, Stoddard Th — N Moore, St. Louis County; Ed Pickerin “ W. F. Chamberlain, F. E. Ai en! city; W. Davis, he a County; J. R. Reavis, — f . Coleman, St. Louis County; Arno! Wwithmar and Wm. Douglas, city. — The news of the Court’s action ‘sustaining the indictments found at the first session was brought to the Grand-jury room by District Attorney Reynolds. It is no easy task to draw an indictment to meet the require- ments of the Federal and State stat- utes, and there was some doubt as to what the ruling ofthe court would be since the suggestion of the points raised in the de- murrer. On learning thatthe court had sus- tained the first indictments found the Grand- jury immediately took up the investigation. During the recess the force of special agents moving under the direction of Assistant Dis- trict Attorney Johnson have prepared a mass of testimony which will be submitted to the jury at once. To-day several witnesses were in waiting in the witness room. ; On Trial To -Day. The trial of Augustus F. Johnson, colored, was taken up in the United States District Court to-day. Johnson is charged with hav- ing falsely registered from a house on Chest- nut street in the Fifteenth Ward, while living in another precinct. The case against Jobnson is not strong, the most suspicious feature being an occurrence at the prelim- inary hearing before Commissioner Crawford. When the testimony was submitted the Com- missioner announced that probable cause had been established anda bond of $500 would be required. All right, said Johnson, who at once sent a messenger to the Sheriff’s office for the required bond. n his preliminary examination Johnson proved that he had all his clothes stored at the number from which he registered and that he often sleptthere. Mr. Albert Burgess, his attorney, waived all challenges and ac- cepted the first eighteen men called into the box to try the case. Ed Butler Got the Best of It. The city officials who have ‘‘caughton’’ to a little story on the Mayor are telling it around quietly with a great deal of enjoy- ment. The story isa complication of borses, politics and livery stable keepers, and goes to show that the Mayor, in spite of his efforts to keep out, has been mixed up, to a certain extent, in the war for city horses which the numerous political livery stablekeepers are always carrying on. At the end of the Allen administration Louis Boble was ahead on city horses and was keep- ing the bulk of the departmentrigs. During the Noonan campaign Porter Leonard, the Ninth and Pine street livery man, was an active workerfor the present Mayor and was in the convention as a Noonan delegate. About three weeks ago Leonard asked for some horses as a rewardof merit and as a friendly litt. He explained to the Mayor that he was in the hole and owed Bob McDon- ald money. Considering his faitnful services and the fact that he was in debt the Mayer asked Joe Temple to send some horses to Leonard’s stable instead of keeping them at Bohle’s. So four of the water rates horses went to Leonard’s. Shortly after the request ofthe Mayorthe Boiler Inspector sent four, which he took from Bohle’s. Leonard thanked the Mayor for his assistance, and the Mayor felt pleased at having helped a friend in need. Atew days ago Secretary Meade marched into the Mayor’ s office with the remark: Say. youv’e gone and done it now, sure. Why, how, what about, Charley?“ asked the Mayor. “Well, only that that stable of Porter Leon- ard’s ain’t Porter Leonard’ s at all. It’s Ed Butler’s and you ‘ve given Ed Butler elght city horses to keep.’ The Mayor asked foralittle time to think and is still thinking. THE COTTON CROP, Report of the Department of Agriculture for June. Ws HINGTON, D. C., June 10.—The June re- port ohe Department of Agriculture indi- cates a seht reduction in the area in cotton on the Atlal.tic coast and an increase west of the State of Alabama. Nearly four-fifths of the proposed breadth had been planted by the Ist of May, but germination was slow on ac- count of cold and generally dry weather, re- planting the defective stands general, and some fields were plowed up and planted in corn, Tbe ae averages are prelim- inary, subject to revision from a thorough special investigation now in progress: North Carolina, 99; 2 Carolina, 99; Georgia, 98; Florida, ; Alabama, 90; Mis- sissippi, 102; — . 103; Texas, 103.5; Arkansas, 104; Tennessee, 100; general aver- age, 101. The nights have been too cold and the seed bed too dry for germination or vig- orous growth: Frostsare reported in May, some as late as the 30th throughout the cotton belt. Condition is therefore relatively low, lowestin South Carolina, highest in Texas, averaging 86.4, the State averages being: Virginia, 85; 2 Carolina, 8; South Caro - Una, 78; Georgia, 80 ; Florida, 88; ‘Alabama, 83; Mississippi. 85 ; Louisiana, 905 Texas, 96; Arkansas, 92; Tennessee, 79. General aver- age, 86.4. Replanting is scarcely completed at the date of reports, and in the dry land the seed- ing had not germinated. Rains on the last days of May were expected to improve condi- tion materially. In some districts are reports of the presence of lice and injuries by cut worms. ALTON, ILL. Decorating Lovejoy’s Grave—Street Consolidation—Fishing Parties. Barney Schultze, one of the packers at the Illinois Glass- works, cut his hand badly yes- terday by the breaking of a fruit jar. He will be confined to his home for some weeks by the wound. Miss Oarrie Edwards left for her home in Massachusetts, after having spent the winter here with her sister, Mrs. Dr. O. H. Taylor. Fishing parties are quite numerous on the river and lakes adjacent to Alton, but not many fish are brought home.

Hastings in Complete Centrol of the Valley—The Loss of Life—Gov. Beaver’s Action Com- mended. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 10.—Another wet and close morning in this valley. When day broke the scene yas dismal toa depressing degree; a penetrating drizzie came down and made everything wetand slippery. The thousands of men moved to their places of work witha half unwilling manner that argued poorly for a heavy day’s work. When the whistle of the Cambria shops sounded at 7 o’clock this morning the whole place was awake and the smoke from the many camp-fires and burning debris made a heavy cloud that rested over the entire valley, al- most hiding it from view from the hills. Soon the valley was alive with its thousands of busy workmen and the tenth day of the work on this vast undertaking was begun. There is little change in the general situa- tion here to-day, and all the various depart- ments are moving along in a manner high! satisfactory to the parties in charge. The stopping of work by the Cambria Co. yés- terday gave their men a much-needed rest and they went to work with much more vigor than the men employed on the gene. al work. The same large crowds were on hand for their daily rations, and the various commissary stations were the scenes of great activity. The great quantities of de- bris which have been sened from above the stone bridge and floated down stream have formed a gorge opposite Cambria City, and a number of men were sent there to-day to re- move this, as it closed the channel, stopping the flow of water and rendering very aimoult the work of removing the wreckage at the stone bridge. * USING STATIONARY ENGINES. Another consignment of stationary engines arrived to-day, making ten in all now here. These are most useful appliances and d the work ot twenty men in removing the heavy timbers. They were placed in various sec- tions of the town and did most effective work. One was put in position onthe stone bridge, and in two hours the work accomplished by It was more effective than the work of 100 me for the last two days. Some heavy tigibers that have defied the efforts of the men to re- move, were soon gotten rid of and the channel opened for a considerable distance from the bridge. The erection of adynamo by the Westinghouse Electric Co. near the Pennsyivania Railroad freight depot is a most necessary work and one who has tramped around inthe dark will appreciate the lighting of the town last night. In fact, every mcans of convenience and appliance ror speeding the work is being used here and each day sees more work accomplished than the day before. The visit of Gov. Beaver to this section yesterday has given renewed hopes to the stricken people, and on all sides the action taken yesterday is being fayorably commented on. All agree in saying the action taken yesterday was most proper, and will result in great good to the peovie in this section and stimulate them, That this action might have taken place sooner, all admit, but now that it bas been done, all unfavorable comments of the move- ments of the Governor have given place toa hearty recommendation of the proposed cause, and all is harmony, good feeling and renewed hove for the future of this valley. The prompt and effective action by the Governor when he arrived im- pressed every one favorably, and es- pecially the Pittsburg Relief Committee whose representatives went home well pleased to be relieved of the work of removing the debris and restoring order, leaving them the accomplishment of the one great object, the relief of the 8 VY RAIN. About 9 o! slosh ¢ the down-pour becam heavy that it seriously interfered with the work and the men were called from the work to some place of shelter, but as soon as the rain became less hea all went to work again.

O., June 10.—Surgeon- General Hamilton of the Marine Hospital Service, who went to the scene of the late dis- aster at Johnstown, Pa., in obedience to the orders of President Harrison, returned from his visit yesterday and immediately reported the result of his observations and in- quiries. His report was no-one made public. It gives a description of the city of Johnstown at the time the flood oc- curred and deals with the efforts to relieve She wants ofthe suffemsrs. The water supply ot Johnstown, he says, is pure and whole- some, and there is little danger of an epidemic among the luhabitante of Johnstown. Dr. Hawilton continues: The danger — from a sanitary point of view is the dritt of the bridge, and this danger is not to the inhabitants of Johns- town, but to those people depending onthe lower river for their water supply. This water, if boiled before drinking, will not be unhealthy, but the thought of drinkin water contaminated b dead bodies o human beings and animals is revolting. Tire clearing of this drift, while attended with great difficulty, will be accomplished. The ublished statement that animals are allowed © float down the river from the driftis pos- itively untrue.’’ In concluding bis report, Dr. Hamilton says thatthe charitable people of this country ought not to cease their contributions of money for some weeks to come, and final! that there is no danger whatever of a gener enideinic. Watching Policemen. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., June 10.— Horace Mann, a private detective, came up from Philadelphia yesterday with seven of hismenin response to a request from Gen. Hastings. Counterfeit policemen and Deputy Sheriffs in the full pan- oply of atinstaranda club were as casy to aod ao an oll tin can, a pair of shears ora plece of stair banister, and they couldn't be told from the genuine with the naked eye. Chairman Seott and Gen. liustings issued 11 toe 7 of cards to Chief of Police Hart to be ven to all officers and told him all without hem would be arrested The Chief put them in his pocket and tour of his men who couidn’t show cards were arrested by }f*yy's men. Chief Hart got angry and or men to shoot anybody who interf with them. He was thereupon arres himself and taken before Chairman Seott and taught the MNmite of his authority. His men found A barrels of whisky and $00 worth of silver- ware hidden in some workmen’s tents. They stove in the heads of the whisky barrels and took the sliver. — — — - THE FUNDS FOR RELIEF, Gov.

Clark, the directory publisher, who made the last annual canvass in April and May, fm an in- terview last night said: „„I did think of getting out the Directory somewhere eise, but concluding it would be safer to publish here than to trust my copy to shipment, I went ahead, got the Directory into and had halt of it in the bindery when the flood came and swept the whole thing away. Fortunately I had preserved the copy. and, therefore, I have a complete list of the 2 people and heads of families In the flood district. At the same time that I canvassed for the names, I took an enumera- tion, so that my lists gave me the precise number of each family. is shows that there were in Aprilin Johastown and the suburbs 29,114 people. Since the flood Mr. Clark has gone over the flooded district and endeavor to make an estimate of the losses. His canvass, which showed 29,114 people, included East Cone - maugh, uklin, oodvale, Conemaugh, Johnstown, Millville, Cambria City, Browns- town, Moxham and Grubtown. The three last mentioned were not damaged by the flood, and the only persons resident in these places who were lost were such as were caught while in the district flooded. But Browns- town, Moxham and Grubtown were small neighborhoods of between 3800 and 400 each. According to Mr. Clark’s canvass East Uone- maugh had 1,047, Franklin 675, Woodvale 1,247, Conemaugh 4,000, Millville 3,000, Johns- town 10,253 and Cambria Oity the rest, maxi up the 29,114. Speaking of his estimate o losses Mr. Clark said: nd there were swept away one-half of Fast Conemaugh, one-quarter to one-third of Franklin, all but twentv-six houses of Wood- vale, one-half of Conemaugh, nearly all of Millville, the first four wards of Jonnstown, and one-third of Cambria City. I place the loss of life at 8,000. It will certainly not be more. I know this by actual canvassings of the por- tions destroyed. I consider that to be the out- side estimate. The loss in Johnstown, I think, is between 8,000 and 4,000. In Millville I believe 500 perished.’’ Mr. Clark’s estimate is interesting and im- portant, because itis made up on an intel gent basis. He is now "4" in 8 up a list of survivors, which he designs shall be strictly accurate. He takes only personal, or the most trustworthy evidence, in preparing the list. When itis complete it will enable him, by comparigon with his directory last made in April,to arrive at the most acourate — of victims which will ever de pre- pared. Johnstown Wreckage. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 10.—A gentle man who returned yesterday from the Ohio River reports thatthe stream is very high, and is rising rapidly, andj that a large amount of the wreckage from Jobnstown is being brought down.

N 2 1 ** 4. * — * & * * The meeting of the Teachers’ Committee of the School Board this evening is likely to be productive of a sensation in school circles. It was ascertained this afternoon from 4a very reliable source thatthe committee has got eleven teachers ‘‘on the list,’’ and that three of the number to suffer decapitation afe Prin- cipals G. V. Bayley of the Crow, R. Vickroy ot the Douglas and M. D. Mugan of the O’Fal- lon. The source of this information was no less than one of the prominent members of the School Board. He had learned the Commit- tee’s intention, he said, at noon to-day. He was very much exercised ever the matter and prophesied that if the Teachers’ Committee carried out the programme of decapitations which had been arranged the session of the School Board te-morrow evening would be the liveliest ever held. »The Committee, said the director, ‘‘is trying to WORK THE SAME GAME, which was successfully played on the board by the Teachers Committee a year ago. The Teachers’ Committee, you know, is a com- mittee of extraordinary privileges. It is not obliged to have its reports printed and sent around to the members in advance of the board meeting. Areport from that committee can be sent in at the last moment. Usually several days before the meeting the members of the board receive, enclosed in an envelope, copies of the reports of all the committees so that they may have time at their leisure to study them. The conseguence of the custom at the board meet- ing very attention is paid tothe reading ofthe reports. Last year the members of the Teachers’ Committee, knowing this fact, neld a meeting the evening before that on which the regular meeting of the board took place and decided to degrade two of the most excellent teachers we had in the ools. The report was read the next night in the board dy the Secretary, and, as the Teachers’ Committee expected, ite full import did not permeate the brains ot the members. It was adopted, and not until the next aay did the board members realize that in voting for the report they sealed the fate oftwo of the best teachers in the schools. »The Teachers’ Committee intends to re- sort to the same ruse ain. When I became aware of the fact that a session of the committee was to be held to-night I thought it *‘SOMEWHAT QUEER, and on inguiry learned positively what was in contemplation. The dismissal of Princi- als Vickroy and Bayley has, I am informed, en positively settiea, and that of Principal ie extremely Mugan of the O’Fallon probable.’’ on — 1 pe are these gentlemen to be discbar, ?’’ be was asked. That is what I am at a loss to know, at least as far as two of them are concerned. Two ofthem are, in my opinion, among the best principals we have in our schools, and it would be hard to excel them any where. am inclined to think that the opposition which has developed against Bayley is purely personal. Bayley is an excellent educator, but is a man who is somewhat gruff in his manner. Not long ago the Teachers Committee paid a visit to his school for the purpose of ascertaining facts in regard to the relative advancement of cbhil- dren who had received a kindergarten train- ing and those who had not. He presented facts and figures to the committeemen but HIS MANNER GAVE OFFENSE to one of them and on leaving this school this go remarked that in his opinion a man ike Bayley ought not to be allowed to teach in the schools. He did not have the right kind of a manner to be placed in charge of children. The formation of such an opinion was unjustified and resuited entirely from the — N Bayley was not inclined to be defer- entlal.“ The Teachers Committee, it will be remem. bered, held a session a week ago which was of such duration as to provoke comment, and it wes alleged then that numerous changes had been determined on. The members of the committee stoutly denied the truth of the sensational reports which were cir- culated. They claimed that they had simply performed the annual duty of marking the teachers, and that not more than eight wereto be dropped on ac- count oftheir failure to aive satisfaction. Nothing that would imply that the changes were to be particularly important ones, how ever, was ever dropped, and the news fur- nished by one ofthe directors that three of those who are to be discharged are Princi- pais Bayley, Vickroy and Meegan is somewhat sensational. MR. BAYLEY was appointed Principal of Carr School in 1868, and resigned in 187 to teach in the county. In 1877 he was reappointed and as- sign tothe Ashland. He went to the La- fayette in 1878, to the O'Fallon in 1879, tothe Carr Lane in 1880, and to the Crow in 1882. His record is as good as that of any teacher in the schools. MR. VICKROY has been inthe schools since 1873, when he was appointed principal of Carondelet School. He went to the Irving School in 1874, and in 1885 went to the Douglas. MR. MEEGAN in 1888 was appointed principal of the Oak Hilt School. He went to the Uarondelet in — and was promoted to the O' Fallon in 1885. WAS HE MURDERED? Peculiar Facts Brought Out by Investiga- tion of an Old Man’s Death. About 10 0’clock yesterday morning Brake- man William Ohristopher informed Yard- master Herring, at Robert Avenue Depot of the Iron Mountain Railroad, that a man was lying dead just south of the River Des Peres. Herring in turn notified the police. Policeman Tom O’Brien examined the body and found that the man bad a large wound on the right side of the head, possibly received b bei struck with a train.

McLane, who resided in a flat- boat near Jefferson Barracks. There is no doubt that McLane was foully dealt with, as marks of violence and rough usage can de deen on his body.

Serious Accident on a Railreed—Fatal Play Among Boys. WILKESBARRE, Pa., June 10.—The west- bound train on the Lehigu Valley Railroadjdue here at 9 0’clock this morning, met with a se- rious accident a short distance this side of Sugar Notch, through the breaking of an axle on one of the forward passenger coaches. The disabled car dropped on the track and the several cars following crashed against it, all being precipitated down an embankment. The cars were alt badly wrecked and sixteen passengers were seriously injured, though none fatally. The passengers were princi- pally residents ofthe small towns below this city. Twoofthe most severely injured are Sohn McGromty. Deputy County Treasurer,of this city, who was badly cut upon the head and face, and Attorney Geo. H. Troutman of Hazelton, who was thrown through one of the car windows and his shoulder broken. Went Over Niagara Falls. LOCKPORT, N. T., June 10.—Several hun- dred people witnessed a terrible accident yes- terday, when two young men in arow boat went over the great falls of Niagara. About 8 o’clock in the afternoon the boat containing the two men was seen dodging about in the rapids above the Horseshoe Falis. Both men were making desperate efforts to get out of the powertul current, but their feeble strength was of little or no avail. Gradually their craft was drawn toward the precipice, and they finally gave up the 1 One of the men fell back in the stern of the boat and cov. ered his face with his hands, as if to shut out the terrible sight before him. The other sat upright in the middle seat, calmly awaiting the fatal plunge. The craft darted in and out among the rocks, and at times was thrown on its beam ends by the boiling waters, but safely passing all obstructions it moved swiftly on toward the yawning chasm. For a second it was lost to view behind a big rock and the next instant plunged far over the falls, and was dashed to pieces 165 feet below. The unfortunate oarsmen were Jacob and Frank Walker, young and unmarried resi- dents of Niagara Falls. They had gone out boating above the falls and had carelessly rowed too near the rapids. They did not dis- cover their mistake until it was too late. Their bodies will likely be recovered in the whirlpool, TEXAS’ VICTORY. The State Wins the Suit Against the Southern Pacific Railroad.

WIND, RAIN AND HAIL, A Severe Storm in New York State—Crops Damaged. By Telegraph to the Post-DiIsPpaTcn. Os WEGO, N. T., June 10.—A storm of wind, rain and hail, the severest ever experienced in this section, passed over Oswego County yesterday doing great damage to crops and fruit trees. About 4o’clock the thermometer dropped from 69 to 58 deg. The hailstones, many of which were as large as small bens’ eggs, fellforfive minutes. Reports say that the entire strawberry crop, which is valued at between $30,000 and $40,000, is destroyed. Three minutes after the storm of haila heavy rainstorm began. The largost sewers were inadequate to carry off the waters, and strects in the business portion of the city were floodea to a depth of several inches. The storm lasted one hour and the weather office reports that for twenty minutes the fall was 01.4 inches. A Terrific Wind Storm. Utica, N. I., June 10.—Word was received here this morning that a terrific wind storm passed through Port Leyden, Lewis County, and the lower portion of Jefferson County, about 4 o’clock vesterday afternoon, unroofing houses, overturning trees, fences and build- ings and doing much damage. The steeple of the Catholic Church at Port Leyden was blown down and one of the M. E. churches was moved in such a manner as to make in danger- ous. One house was picked up and carried about one hundred feet, and an old gentleman and lady living therein being injured. The most damage was done in a path about eighty rods wide,though trees and fences were over- turned in a wide territory. The wires are all down and particulars cannot be obtained. DEFENDED THE ALLIANCE. Italy’s Treaty With Germany aud Austria— Boulangists Indignant. PARIS, June 10.—The Boulangist members of the Chamber of Deputies, now in Paris, have entered a protest against the ac- tion of the authorities of Angouleme in pro- hibiting the Boulangist meeting which was to have been held there vesterday, and in arrest- ing those who resisted their action. They accuse the Government of an endeavor to ini- tiate a revolution, and hold the Ministers re- sponsible for the interference of the Angou- leme authorities. The statement to be issued by Gen. Boulanger in reference to the letters seized by the Paris police in the residences of two Boulangist leaders will declare that their contents are unimportant. ASCENDED THE EIFFEL TOWER.

The Cherokee Commission Vacancy—Mis- sourians After Ripe Plums. By Telegraph to the Posr-Dieraren. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 10.—It is expected that the vacancy in the Cherokee Commission will be filled at once, but no names can be learned in connection with the place, officially. Just as soon as it is organized and goes into the Territory, probably to Arkansas City, for ac- tion, the gentlemen representing the Indians as attorneys will follow. Hon. Matt G. Rey- nolds said to-day that he had no idea who would be appointed on the commission, and that it was a hard matter to find a capable member at the pay provided, $l0a a As to the work of the attorneys in the of the Arrapahoes and Cheyennes it would be more than to simply represent them in the proposition for the sale of their lands to the Government. The question as to the title of the lands was Involved. These Indians had, in 1866, treaty sold to the Government Cherokee strip, had gone from these lands north, then south and back again, where they had for a time been located under proclamation, They had no more than squatter rights, but back to their original oceu- pancy they had landed interests. These matters had to be established. It is not be- lieved that the Commission can complete its work in three months, but a partial report willnodoubt be made to Congress by that time. It is thought that at least twelve months will be consumed in the work. Maj. C. E.

The production of 1887 compared with the above table shows in pig iron an increase of 72,590 tons in quantity and a decrease of 4, 925,800 in value; in silver there is an increase of 45,783,682 ounces; in gold the increase was $75,000; in copper the increase was 46,058,291 pounds; the lead increase was 19,855; the zinc increase amounted to 5,568 tons; there was a deciine in quicksilver of 510 flasxs as against 1887; there was a large decrease in the value of the nickel produced amounting to $156,818. Comparisons as to other metals do not appear in the report. the minerals produced in 1888 was $591,659, 931. It ie recognized that this is the sum of the values of substances taken in various stages of manufacture, and hence not strictly com- parable with each other; still it is the most means for comparing the total prod- Wee Of different years. The result is an in- crease of nearly $50,000,000 beyond the value of the product in 1687. In that year nearly every mineral industry showed an increase,and hence an increased total was evident. But the fact that the increase wasso very large was due to rather exceptional conditions in a few important industries, and it could not reason- o bly be expected thatasimilar combination of circumstances would result in even a larger total value for 1888. Nevertheless the unpreco- dented stimulus gtven to the production of copper by an artificial price increased the total value of that product nearly $18,000,000, or nearly enough to offset the decline in the total value of pig iron. The other important factors in the increase were coal and the other fueis which followed the increased quantity of metals. With the anticipated decline of cop- er sto the normal demand, a decline in the tal value of the product in 1889 will not be in- consistent with the natural development of our mineral resources.

MEBMOD & JACCARD JEWELRY OO, PROBABLY MURDERED. The Mystery Surrounding the Death ef a Molder at Springfield, Mo. By Telegravh to the Posr-Disrarcn. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., June 10.—This morning a jury was summoned to hold an inquest over the body of Fred Nelson, a molder inthe Springfield Car & Foundry Works, who was found dead on the Gulf Railroad track in this city yesterday morning. After an examination of the body the jury decided not to hear the testimony until this evening, the belief strongly prevailing that the man has been murdered for his money. On Satur- day evening he drew $38 from the company, saying he was going to St. Louis that night to meet his father and brother, who reside there. On examining the corpse only $1.30 coulda be found, which is the main ground on which suspicion is based. Every theory is being carefully traced and a thorough investigation will be made. „Two Alike and a A New Novelette. Lady,’’ by Jules Verne and Franklin File, in the next SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH.

The Liability on His Bonds Practically Ad- » Justed, and Ne Criminal Prosecutions Probable, or, It Is Olaimed, Possible— How His Liabilities Stand—The Status of the Case To-Day. T is now certain tha arrangements are al- most perfected to bring Henry Dieck- mann, ex-President of the Mauntell-Bor. gess Milling Co., and k- administrator, guardian, etc., of the Meyer and Guye estate and heirs, back to St. = Louis from his retreat in Windsor, Canada. The return, however, will be of his own chotce, and not by force of law. Mr. Dieckmann left St. Louis on Febru- ary 6 last and since then his liabilities have, by confessed judgments and estimates, been footed upatabout $140,000. As an offset to this sufficient assets have been discovered to cut the amount down to $80,000 or $85,000, counting the mining stocks on hand as valueless. All of this $85,000 was swallowed up in speculation, Dieck- mann having less than $600 with him when he left the city. The remnants of his own fortune and the Meyer and Guye es- tates were contained in the bundle he left with Mr. B. D. Kribben, his attorney, before his departure. This bundie was turned over to Mrs. Meyer, according to his instructions. Later Mr. Kribben visited Dieckmann at Windsor and the latter gave hima full ac- counting of everything, with directions as to securities and stocks and a power of attor- ney authorizing him to act in everything. Mr. Kribben has used this power of attorney in CONFESSING JUDGMENT to all of Dieckmann’s creditors except Mrs. Guye, who has been informed that one for her demands would be confessed at any time. While he was at Windsor, Mr. Kribben says Dieckmann evinced a desire to return to the United States and assume the responsibility of maintaining and caring for his family and of personally looking after the welfare of his children. Mrs. Dieckmann had also expressed a desire to have her husband with her, and to have his assistance in the education and care of their ohiid. There has never, it is said, been a separation fora moment between Mr. and Mrs. Dieck- mann, and have both looked forward tothe time when they could be reunited. Under these circumstances Mr. Kribben undertook to straighten out the affairs of Mr. Dieck- mann, and to have him home by the 4th of July. Everything is in a fair way to admit of this. There is no possibility of a criminal prosecution against Dieckmann, and so far as Can be discovered, no desire to prosecute criminally or to WORRY HIM WITH JUDGMENTS. These judgments are mainly held by people who in any settlement of affairs will be inter- ested directiy through marriage relationship with Mr. Dieckmann’s future. The largest outside one is that of Mauntell, Borgess & Co. for $25,000. They have been victimized to some extent and of course do not have any very warm feelings for their ex-President, but President Mauntell and Vice-President Fischer, when seen yesterday, said they did not see any good that was to come from throwin obstacles In his way and though they would not say what they would do they were disposed to allow him to resume an honest business life if he desires to do so, and especially to do what will be to the bene- fit of Dieckmann’s family. The company expires soon by limitation of the co ration. Mr. Eugene Cuendet, who is now in Europe,is also said to have committed himself to the same policy. He was on all of the Meyer bonds, and is reported to have entered into a settle- ment of the same, paying $25,000 and being re- lieyed from his liability. Mrs. Meryer and Mrs. Guye have also been relieved, having made a settlement in the same way, thé settie- ment having been made with thenew guardian of the minor children. The settlement will practically ENTIRELY RELIEVE DIECKMANN, though the responsibility of the Kifferstein es- tate and its position toward Dieckmann per- sonally has not been ascertained. Dieck- mann’s debts and liabilities outside of these are smmail. As was shown when he went away, he had kept up very cloesly with his regu- lar trading accounts, and though he speculated heavily and lost on all sides he kept up with everything and left only trifiing business accounts. For this reason the under current of the feeling for him, among speculative classes,is warmer than might be supposed, and instead of being bar- assed inany way he will receive an occa- sional helping hand. His affairs were in about the same shapein his mining specu- lations, and he was found to be car- rying large interests for several people. The aggregate of his Ruby trust holdings was about 104,000 shares, but it was reduced to about 60,000 shares by the discovery of lots held in trust. These 60,000 shares have been turned over to Mrs. Meyer. Recent sales of it in large blocks have been made at 16 cents to President Ludington, Thomas E. Tutt and others. DIECKMANN’S PRESENT SITUATION is a matter of which the people here know but little. In St. Louis he enjoyed life, and was one of the best known of speculative traders. He lived well, had pleasant surroundings, ap- peared to be worth $100,000 or more, and was envied by many other traders who seemed Small means, but who are business. quarters at are described as being in marked contrast to this. He has obtained a temporary business engagement by which he makes $75 to $80 a month, or what it requires tosupport him. What he will do when he re- turns here, or whether he will remain in St. Louis or take his family to some other cit where he has business acquaintances who will help him, is not known. COR.

The present residence, which was formerly used as a college, will be given to the sisters who conduct the Parochial Sehool. The new parsonage will cost about $7,000, and when completed will be an ornament to the city and reflect credit upon the congregation, who a few years ago owed something in the neigh- borhood of $60,000, all of which debt has been paid through the endeavors of Rev. Father O’ Halloran, A small store, situated just outside the city limits, was burglarized last Saturday night. Entrance was efiected by prying open an iron shutter and cutting out the sash of avery large window. Mrs. Stroble, the owner, saw the burglars as they were leaving, but was too much frightened to give an alarm. A few cigars and a small amount of money was car- ried off. This particular section is so far from the business portion of the city thatthe police cannot give it the protection afforded other localities, and Mr. J. I. Linehan, manager of the Western Union Telegraph at the National Stock Yards, has been prevailed upon to es- tablish a system of electric wires by which some of these nocturnal visitors may caught. | The body of Charles Shone, who was killed at Mascoutah, about9o’clock last night, was brought to East St. Louis to-day and an in- quest will be held on Wednesday, Shone was about 30 years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. He has resided in this city for several years and obtained a livelihood by eddling nick-nacks about thecountry. He eft town early Saturday morning and had robably disposed of his load and started for he depot in Mascoutah. In his haste to catch the train he crawled under some freight cars and was struck by a passing train. The poor feilow was horribly mangled, both legs being broken and his skull crushed. The engineer, who was the involuntary cause, will not reach this city on his return trip uotil Wednesday morning, hence the necessity for deferring the inquest. * Belleville. Mr. John Crowley of Zast St. Louis, who is charged with the murder of Patrick Purcell of that place, was arraigned in the Circuit Court to-day, and pleaded not guilty.

A BRUTAL CRIME, The Murder of Little Maggie Thompson by Henry Lueth. CLEVELAND, O., June 10.—For over h Cleveland has been excited over the disap- pearance of a little girl named Maggie Thomp- son. She was not quite 9 years old, was bright and attractive and wealthy people who lived in the neighborhood of her parents’ home made up a reward for her recoy- ery. Everything possible was done by the 2 and newspapers to restore her to her amily. As telegraphed last night the muti- lated remains were found under the house of Henry Lueth, a German oabinet- maker on Merchant avenue. Lueth lives less than two hundred feet from the Thompson family. He and his wife and son were placed under arrest at 8 o’clock this morning. Harassed and confused by the sharp ques- tions of the officers, who slowly but surely were entangling him in a net of hies own con- tradictions, young Otto Lueth, tne son, finail: broke down and confessed that he had com mitted the dorridle crime. He Sai that on the day of the murder Maggie Thomp. son passed his house at about noon on her way from school and asked him for a buttom to ee ona button string. He enticed the ittle girl into the house and up stairs. He laced heron a bed and killed her with a ammer or hatchet. He left the body on the bed until the following Wednesday, when he carried it to the celler, where it was found. When asked what motive he had for the murder, he said that he had hada couple of drinks of liquor and must have been crazy. Inanswer to questions he finally ad- mitted that be had attempted to outra the girl, but was unsuccessful. Otto Lueth, the self-confessed murderer of Maggie Thomp- son,says that he is 16 years of age, but he looks older. He is tall and slender, with dark —— and brown hair. His head is. peculiarly shaped and his forehead is very low. At the time of the murder Lueth, the father, was out of the city at work and the mother was in a hospital. Found in the River. The body of an unknown male floater vn found in the river at the foot of Neosho streets about 100’clock this morning, and was con- v to the Mo ©.

THREE scoops on important local news yesterday was an unusually good record, even for the SunDay PosT-DISPATCH. JupGE Tuayer’s Gecision has removed every obstruction to the renewal of effect- ive activity.in election fraud cases in the ederal courts. — “P— —>__e—=_ —— Countrariors in both branches of the Municipal Assembly to put through the Union Market improvement would be a welcome change from political combins- tions. — —_ — Tur haste of reputable men whose names have been connected with that public garden project near Forest Park to deny their interest in it places the project on its proper level. _ THE naturalization fraud cases will not fall through on a technire'ity.- Judge THAYER decided that this morning, and the responsibility of the conviction of the ‘ guilty men rests with the prosecution. — 2 — —___—_—— Iv Gen.

This habit was shown in a remarkable Manner yesterday by the publication of information which was not contained in any of the other St. Louis papers. —uy—y— — — — — — YEsTeERDay’s Sura Post-Digpatcu challenges favorable comparison with all of tts competitors.

The convul- sion which sunk some land in the south- eastern section in 1812 affected but a few settlers, who easily took eare of them- nr as well off us ever on higher ground. Cyclones have wrecked two or three small towns since the settle- ment of the State, and in 1875 a few coun- ties on the Kansas border were ravaged by the Rocky Mountain locusts. But even in the counties most devastated and im- poverished by the war, there has never been a disaster compelling the tillers of the soil to ask for outside help, and the State has never asked or needed help from abroad in taking care of her towns- people left houseless by a storm. On no other country does nature smile Year after year, with scarcely a single excep- tion in a decade, the fields, pastures and orchards yield such a superabundance and the flocks and herds multiply so rap- idly thatan exceptional scarcity in some limited locality is easily supplied by more fortunate townships near by. Who ever heard of commissioners sent to other States to seek aid for a section of Missouri drouth-smitten or ravaged by storms or insects? Who ever heard of public meet- ings called and organizations formed in other States to solicit and send aid to suf- fering Missourians? Such things are unheard of. But be- cause of our unfailing abundance and singular exemption from disastrous visita- tions, we can afford to be, and are under moral obligations to be, among the fore- mostand most liberal in relieving the stricken communities of less fortunate States. — . e — ———— AN EXCLUSIVE NEWSPAPER. The exclusive character of the news, general reading matter and special feat- ures of the SuN DAT POST-DIsPATCH distin- guishes it from all of its competitors and commends it to the public as a bright, original, enterprising newspaper. Much of the news which appears in the morning dailies on Sunday is a repetition ot the news of the Saturday Post-Di- PATCH. A copy of one is largely a copy of the other, but the news of the Sunpay Post-Dispatcn is not only full and accurate, but it is fresh and bright and belongs to the SUNDAY Post-DIsPpaTcu alone. Yesterday’s tele- graphic dispatches were not duplicated in any of the other papers, and as to local news the SUNDAY PoSsT-DISPATCH is with- outarival. Nota Sunday passes but it contains information concerning St. Louis matters which the readers of the other papers do not get until Mon- day. Yesterday, for instance, the SunpDAY Post-Dispatcn contained ac- counts of the final consolidation of the St. Louis elevators, the consolida- tion of all ammonia works in this country by St. Louis parties and the destruction of telephone wires by the storm, concerning which not a word was published by its competitors, In point of exclusiveness and amount of local and telegraphic news and in the originality and entertaining quality of its special features the SUNDAT Posr- Dis- PATCH is without an equal. Its popularity increases with every issue. — Tux people of East St. Louis feel a jus- tiflable pride in the advantageous settle- ment of the financial affairs of their municipality and the excellent prospects of growth and prosperity which lie before the thriving city. They naturally want others to know of their good fortune and the Post-Dispatcu is glad to have been the means of gratifying this desire ina manner as pleasing to them as the follow- ing extract of an article which appeared in the East St. Louis Journal under the title“ Well Done,“ indicates: The Posr-Disraron, the other day, sent a special representative, Mr. JusTIN MOGRATH, to our city to investigate and write up the sit- uation and outlook, and the result of hie in- vestigations are amply elucidated by the ad- mirable, able, and truthful article which ap- peared in the PosT-DISPATCH on last Wednes- day, and which wereproduce in full in this issue of the Journal, and which we invite all our readers to peruse, as itis one of the best that has been written on New East 8t.

The Delights ef a REELS ORES as 8 Neighbor—The Law of Obedience—Eul- ings by Judges Fisher and Valliant—A Diverce Granted—Kews in and About the Court-House. HAT is known among the legal fraternity as the pertume factory ecase’’ came up for trial before Judge Fisher this morning. Ormes owns a house and lot at 1927 Benton street. With bim live his wite, his father, his daughter, a son-in-law and 3 grandson. As he states in his petition he moved into 1927 Benton street in May, 1880, to escape the noise and bustle of a business street and the odors. He enjoyed quiet until March, 1886, when Thomas Stringer, a butcher, moved in next door and built a two-story house. Stringer also con- structed a driveway from the back yard to the second story for hogs and cattle to walk upon and go to their doom in the room over the second floor, which was used as a slaughter-house. Mr. Ormes says the law prohibits a slaughter-house or rendering es- tablishment being operated within 300 feet of a Gwelling, but this one is only three feet away and within reaching distance of his parior, dining-room, kitchen and bed-room windows. All day and night, he says, the members of his family can hear the stampeding of cattle and hoys up the chute, mingled with the lowing of one and the squeal of the other, also the bleating of calves and the baaing of sheep. Atéo'’clock every morning there arises a great bubbling and rasping sound of steam in water, thereby dis- turbing the sleep of his family. Every even- ing there is a hissing of escaping steam, which continues until about midnight, preventing all rest, repose or conversation. The family have been compelled to talk loud at all times to be heard. During the day cattie are driven up and down the chute by men who use —— without judgment or economy, hereby shocking the female branch of the famil Beasts in the nies of death can be hear beliowing all night, mingled with the „dull thud“ ofthe slayer’s ax. In summer the stench arising from the blood, entraiis and filthin the yard is unbearable. and all windows have to be closed and calked, mak- inse the house a veritable oven. To hy these charges brought by Ormes in his plea to have ‘the nuisance abated, Mr. Stringer denies the ex- istence of, and infers that Mr. Ormes must be mistaken about the smell and the noises. The neighborhood around the slaughter-bouse is greatly interested in the case and about thirty —— mostly ladies, have been sum- moned. The Law of Obedience. In his rulings, made to-day, Judge Valliant overruled a motion to set aside a non-suit in the case where Lawrence Ulm sued the St. Louis Sugar Refining Co. for $10,000 damages for falling down a hatchway near hi he working, and which said had deen negli — left open. Judge Valliant said: am unable to distinguish this case from that of a man who, cay a danger, wilfully or carefully walks into it. Our Supreme Court in the case of MeDermott vs. Hannibal & St. Joseph Rail- way Co. say: A servant is not under all circumstances and at all hazards to obey the order of his master. Obedience to an order may so manifestly jeopardize the safety of the servant as not only to astify, but to demand disobedience, No servant ever err places himself in a osition which it is more than ikely he will be injured and recover damages from his master if he had time to deliberate and with knowledge ofthe peril and took the risk.’ This is not the case ofa danger which is perceptible only to the superior knowledge of the master, a man of the commonest un- derstanding could see and appreciate the danger of an open batehway.’’ OTHER RULINGS.

The question that we are most particularly interested In and which will come up early in the ession isthe charter which is to be asked for canal. This is to the en- 4% 1424 — — the of Nicaragua ship immense importance tire Mississippi Valley, but especially to New Orleans. For years we bave been falling off in relative impor tance as aseaport. The jetties have done much for us, but the increasing draughts of ocean steam- ers has worked to our disadvantage as fast as the greater depth of water has worked to our advantage,and the consequence has been that the Atlantic seaports have been steadily gaining ground. AN ENGINEER’S OPINION OF THE ROUTE. The construction of an interoceanic canal would revolutionize the shipping interests of New Orleans. We would beleftinthe same position as regards transatlantic traffic, but the entire South American trade ought to be done from this port. I ama member of a committee having in charge the task of push - ing the bill to a vote in Congress, and we in- tand to leave no stone unturned to secures favorable charter. We have just received a letter from an engineer whom we sent to Nio- aragua to accompany a suryeying party now at work, and the report that he has sent us is most encouraging. The failure of the Panama Canal, which is now assured beyond a doubt, should not be regarded asin any way indi- cative of the results likely to attend an at- tempt to cross the isthmus by the — — line. The conditions are entirely differen and in ev respect, exceptthat ot — distance istinctly in favor of the Nicaragua route, I say nominal distance because, while the number of miles covered by our route is areater, the distance that has to be covered by actual canal work is much smaller. Lake Nicaragua is now navigable by ships of mod- erate draught and can be easily dredged so as to afford free passage to the largest steamer. DIFFICULTIES TO BE OVERCOME „From the lake westward the work will be easy, the only difficulty to amount to anything lying in the section between the lake and the San Francisco River, and the point where the ships will leave this and As- pinwall, the eastern terminus. The cutting according to the report in our possession, wi! uͤ be far easier than that encountered on the the Panama line. There the rock was as hard as granite, and in some places there were very troublesome quicksands. northern route the rock through is ve and is not much of it. Then the Francisco has done a great deal ofthe work for us, and in its course but little deepening will have to be done. The principal engineer: ing difficulty to be overcome will the ar- rangements for locks, These will have to be of unprecedented strength, as an immense body of water must be controlled. The locks will not only be of tremendous size, 600 or 700 | feet in length, and wide enough to allow two large steamers pass each other, but will contain a disproportionately large amount of water, as some of the de- scents are ve steep. The lock question is the only one that prevents any hindrances that have not been successfully — — time and time again, and all engineers agree that works can be construct that will readily control the N amount ot water. These great locks will be principally contined to the section between Lake Nie- aragua and the San Francisco River, and here lieg the most difficult part of the work. ADVANTAGES OF THE NORTHERN LIND. One immense advantage possessed by the Nicaragua route over all others is the fact that there is a fine seaport at either end. The ves- sels can lie safely in port while waitin “Patio through the channel and there need money spent in making a hnarbor. The ‘ake serves a double purpose.

The Charless School picnic will take place to-morrow if the weather is favorable, at Concordia Park. The pupils will form oppo- site the school-house on Shenandoah avenue near Gravois road and will then march over an arranged route to the park. Arriving at | the park the children will devote themselves to the various amusements provided. A large number of pretty prizes have been pur- chased by the committee and will be distributed among the successful competitors in the numerous events. The patrons of the Charless School were probably the most violent objectors of any against the School Board’s decree to abandontbe custom fora picnic, and are on account working bard to make their 2. picnic a big success. Like the Shepard School patrons they have had printed blank forms of excuses for the chiidren’s absence, and these when signed by the parent will be the Sa on e of of granting a holida opposition to : soanien in ninety-one scholars only — the school on that day.

But in this case the club took the proper train, but it arrived behind time and they could not possibly be ou the grounds in time. This fact makes the game not for- feitable, as the club cannot be blamed fora train being late. Evidently, Mr. Barnie does not wish to advance the chances of the Brookiyns or Athietics in the race, for if his sympathies were not with the Browns he would probably have made a demand for the game anyhow. Of course it will be more money in his pocket to play it Wednesday, as the Browns always draw well in Baltimore, The St. Louis team is having a hard time of it in their traveling thie trip. In order to se- cure the cheapest possibie rates, Mr. Von der Ahe before leaving here contracted for the transportation of all his men for the entire trip, including their return to this city. The roads over which his tickets read were flooded and are worthless to him, ex- cept that he, of course, can have them re- deemed. He now has to secure transporta- tion from point to point ana has to pay to rates everywhere, so that his railroad bili will be much greater than it would have been had not the floods occurred. Arthur Irwin Seld. The Washington Club has purchased Arthur Irwin's release from Philadelphia for $3,000 and will play him at short in Wise’s place. He will also captain the team instead of Morrill, who will remain as manager. Thus both men recently purchased from Boston at a fancy figure have been deposed. Morrill’s play bas been severely criticised in Washington, Fog- arty will now captain the Phillies and Hali- man be played at short, and Ward, late of New Orleans, at second. The Westerns Won.

Sports, The annual games of the Missouri Amateur Athletic Club at Sporteman’s Park, yesterday afternoon, were well attended, despite the cold and threatening weather. James A. St. John was the referee. Capt. C. W. Bellairs, L. E. Kaltwasser and W. M. Medart, judges; George 8. Rhodes, Wm. Brewster and Jerome Karst, clerks of the course; Aug. H. Muegge, Charies Hillman and N. „ Wablert, time-keepers; Dan H. Wilson, starter. Malcolm W. Ford, the champion all-round amateur athiete of America, competed in five events, two of which be won, the high jump- ing and the 120-yard burdile race. In two oth- ere, the running long jump and throwing the eS eat hammer, he secured second prize, as there were only two contestants in each, bimseif and the victor. In the 100-yard handicap run which opened the sports, Ford was the scratch man, and he was beaten in the first beat by Arnold J. Hellmich, who was allowed six yards. The time was :102-5, It was evident that Ford was not in his best sprinting form. E. J. Sampson, ten yards, won the second beat. Time, : 10 2-3. Herman Weinecke, five and one-half yards, captured the third heat. Time, :10 2-5. The fourth heat was won by W. B. Johnson, six and one- half yards. Time, :10 2-6. H.

The Suiagde of an Unknown Guest in a New York Hotel, By Telegraph to the PosT-DrIsPaTcr. New Tonk, June 10.—@¥hen aclerk at the Van Dyke Hotel and a policeman broke in the door of room 45 at the hotel yesterday morn- ing they were driven back from the tnreshold Dy a rush of gas. When it became safe to do so they entered the apartment and found the occupant dead on his knees beside the bed. The single burner was found wide open and the keyhole and other crevices were tightiv plugged to prevent the escape of the deathly fluid, The dead guest was a light-complex- ioned, smooth - shaven man, rather under the medium size, @ecently dressed and apparently about30 years oid. He had removed none of his clothing and was in au attitude of prayer. His left hand clutched the pillow but the expression on his face was calm and pleasant. On a table beside the bed wasa bhalf-pint flask witha few drops of whisky in it, anda scrap torn from the margin of a newspaper on which was scrawled in lead pencil: No. 416 West Thirty-third street.’’ There was nothing ip his pockets buta sliver dime and some pennivs. He had registered Saturday night as John L. Trest, No, 416 West Thirty-third street. No trace of any one answering the description of the suicide could be found.

By Telegraph to the Fosr-Duraren. BALTIMORE, Md., June 10.—The high license movement here is making progress. Five prominent citizens comprise a committee to formulate a plan of organization so that the legislative districts of the city and through- out the State can be canvassed to learn the sentiment of the people in the matter. There is no doubt about the feeling in Baltimore, re- gardiess of politics. Ina 4 of nearly eight hundred thousand there are now 4,000 saloons, two-thirds of the number being low roggeries which get the best part of the earnings of the large colored por- tion of the 1 = It is rumored that the Democratic r a which generally controls the Legislature, while not openly antagonizing the bili, will smother it in a committee or in some manner prevent its becoming a law. The men, however, who are atthe head of the li- cense movement, will endeavor to have men nominated from the city districts that will favor the bill. The committee on organization will favor the creation of a court or commission, to which every applicant for a Heense must send his name and the names of his backers. Their names and the proposed location of the sa- loon will then be published, so that the pub- lic can wisely direct the court in the granting or refusal of the license. Cardinal Gibbons, Bishop Parel of the Protest Episcopal Diocere of Maryland, the Judges of the courts and many other prominent people in religious and business circles have indorsed the move- ment. It has been suggested by one member of the committee that the license be fixed at $1,000. The State Temperance Alliance, which is controlled by the third party peo- ple, has adop resolutions which, after declarin that high license is viciousin principle and powerless asa rem- edy for the liquor evil, approve, aside from the license features, the efforts to restrict the liquor traffic contemplated in the new move ment. This isa departure from their hitherto bitter opposition to license in any form. Wm. Daniel, who was on the Presidential Prohibi- tion ticket with St. John, bas caused a stir in temperance circles by discovering an old Maryland law which embodies the prohibitory features of the Brooks law in Pennsylvania. It is still on the statute books and provides that a 2 shall not issue a license to an man who has been presented by a Grand- ury. **Enforoe this law, says Mr. Daniel, ‘‘and — can close up every low groggery in the city.’’ he high license movement is taking hold in the counties as wellas in the cities. The farmers of Garrison and Forest Grange in Baltimore County, have passed a resolution favoring the passage of a suitable high license law, in order that the county may derive a revenue from the tax on the sale of liquor sufficient to pay tne increased cost of court, alms-house and jail caused by its unrestricted use.

Croom shot Section Master Stricklin last fall, but has since eluded arrest. Bailiff Hamlin had heard that Croom was concealed at his father’s house in Hillsdale, and went there at midnight Friday with four deputy Sheriffs. They had surrounded the house when Croom dashed out, revolver in hand and shotthe bailiff, the bullet entering his right eye and coming out at the back of his head. He also shot Deputy Sheriff Wilcox. but the bullet glanced off hig skull aud inflicted no serious wound. room escaped across an open field in full moonlight aud has not yet been recaptured.

REGULAR SESSION, CLOSING 1:15 P.M. over same week last year wheat decreased 90,300 bu, oats 5.000 bu, and corn increased 163, bu. New Orleans cleared Saturday 84,000 bu corn for verpool. Cable advices recently received from Sydney Australia, report that twenty inches of rain ha fallenin four days, and that it was still raining. 282 s had occurr ed and much damage, but the effect on the crops is not yet known. 4 gentoman representing an English grain house in New York has recentiv returned from the Argen- tine Republic. He reports that the wheat crop of that country was almost totally destroyed by un- precedented rain, and the bulk of that saved is of ex- ceedingly poor quality. There will be little or none for export. Therains were continued during the harvesting of maize, and the crop was gathered in very damp condition. The climate is such that the drying out of the moisture is slow, and the quality of the grain this reer is poor. C. A. King of Toledo, a in his Saturday cir- cular of the Ohio Agricultural Board’s report on the wheat crop of that State, in which it is stated that the 1889 crop is 3,000,000 bushels lese than last ear, says: The Department of Agriculture in their ecember report gave the acreage in Ohio at 102, or above the average. Take it as the State report above gives it, 200, acres short at 13 bushels per acre . would indicate a shortage of 2, „000 bushes. The average condition as he gives it is 85. ‘rhe Agri- cultural Bureau report gave the average conditio last June as 56. In other words, the average condi- tion is now 29 points better than a year ago, but our brilliant Ohio Secretary makes it mean 400,000 less than last year in addition to he shortage in the acre- age. it’s disgusting to think thatthe great State of Ohio should have such a fool in its 888 The re- rt indicates a yield of nearer 35,000, than 25,- bushels.’* Kan.. wired John A. Warren & Co.: flooded and still raining. Wheat falling in fields and corn crop bound to be short.“ J. W. Booth & Sons had a telegram from Larrfmore, reporting good rains Saturday in Northern Dakota, the Red iKtiver Valley district. Kus Samuel, who has been out in Kansas for sev- eral days, says that State will raise a wonderful crop of wheat, and the r isso exceptionally good it is expected to grade in this market. If the weather is favorable, harvesting will be general this week. he New York ‘Produce ——t > Reporter’’ says: The probabilities are now that the winter wheat crop of the country will be of excellent quality ot perhaps 830. 000, 000 bu. The spring wheat crop is still au unknown possibility, with ample time for ruin. With a good crop of fine wheat the posiiton of the country will be excellent. South American harvests have been poor and the Argentine is an im ,orter. The Australian crop is estimated at 26,340, - bu, against 34,545,902 bu last vear, and will ese to draw some supplies from New Zealand. The ndiav crop le not as good as last year and exports of new wheat have fallen off considerable compared with a yearago. The reports of damage in Russia are disputed, yet the cofliciai report was unfavora- for New York, SC. H. Albers leaves this evenin urope to be gone whence he salls Saturday for several months. About 175.000 bu corn was delivered on June con- tracts to-day, most of it landing with Thos. Akin. These deliveries settled out over 500,000 and pos- 2 . bu in contracts. The actual decrease last week in stocks of wheat at all points, not counting amount afloat, was 1,301,216 bu. aud the increase in corn 399,787 bu. The growing hop crops in England and Germany have been affected by vermin, and latest reports show a very serious condition of affairs in both coun- tries. English ho have advanced about 15s. per ewt. The German ils firm and advancing. Farmers in England who are in a position to do so are washing the vine, witha view to averting further damage. The American markets are meanwhile showing re- markable strength, and have advanced 2 to3 cents. The demand is good, and is no means confined to the choicer grades. Medium grades whict have beretofore been neglected, are in good demand at advanced quotations. In Schoharie „ New York, 24c has been paid, while iu lin N the most inferior producing coun- he State, 21e has been given. The growing n New York and California are said to be in f. hape on the whole, thoueh some little damage sreported. Brewers are awaking to the fact that they have erred in holding back, and are now willing to pay 2 to 3c above prices ruling a fortnight since. Chicago to W. T. Anderson & (o. Wm.

HRISTIANITY evidently yet has considerable to do before it makes brothers of all men. Stories of religious 1. - tolerance frequently come from Mexico, for instance. The worst account of such perse- cutions that has yet come outof that coun- try, bowever, has just been received by Mr. Geo. A. Bannentine of this city from a conf- dential agent located there. It is the worst because it is the most GZ definite, Mr. Bannen- tine has very large man- ufacturing interests here and in Mexico, anda month ago, when a telegraphic report gave an indefinite and somewhat doubtful reportof a religious riot and the killing of priests and police to the number of about 200, he was re- quested by Mr. Louis Fusz and several other Catholic gentlemen of this city to write to Leon, Mexico, for full and correct particulars. He did so and received a reply which, while it reduces the number of the killed from 200 to 4, gives a picture of lite in that section of Mexico thatis anything but enticing to tourists or missionaries. Mr. Bannentine’s correspond- ent, after referring to private matters and the discomforts of life in the entire district, takes up the riot in general, and proceeds to give its cause and the result as follows: CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Now for what I found out as to the Guan- ajuato affair specially: To begin with, the account you sent me was most awfully exag- gerated. The news Iglve below comes from a Oatholic, as it is impossible to get informa- tion from the other side, and it would be very dangerous to attempt to do so. The party giving me my details is one of the best citi- zens we have, but he asks me specially not to mention his name, so I must withhold it even from you. He isthe son-in-law of the most influential Catholic here, a leading business man and a most honorable citizen. He is on very close relations with the Catholic clergy and a particular friend of the Bishop here. It being through this source that I get the details, and as I can vouch fully for the fauthority personally, you can rely beyond doubt upon this being the whole truth and exactly what happened without exaggeration or without holding anything back. The whole cause of the trouble was in the Bishop here calling for A MISSION OF PRIESTS from Pueblo to hold a mission here in Leon. They sent four priests in response to this re- — but they were ali Mexicans, and not rench, as the account you send me reports. in France. They had not even ever been some three L held a mission here weeks, and from here went to Silao. Then they went to Guanajuato. In all of these pisces they were well treated, baving no trouble with the Government authorities. From Guanajuato they went to La Luz, a ining town near there, and there the trouble began. The Mayor, who was more than half drunk at the ti ** proclaimed bimself against them. He sent 4 olice to tell the priests to stop their — ut failed to give any rea- son why they should do so. The priests re- plied that they were in their own house, and that simply his orders, without explanation, would not stop tbem in their work. This vexed the Mayor considerably, and he sum- moned a large number of police. Placing himself at their head, he gave the orders to march against the priests in the church. Ar- riving inthe church, he gave the police or- ders to RAW THEIR PISTOLS, while he himself fired the firstshotat the priests. This exasperated the congregation, and theyarose ina body, men, women and children, with knives, rocks, etc., just such weapons as the ey could get bold of, and in the riot that ensued they killed, to best accounts, four of the police, not more. The Mayor was only wounded, by being struck on the head with a rock, and that was done by a woman. This woman also disarmed him. She has since been arrested, and is still in jail. The priests left soon after the disturbance, one going to Guanajuato, one to Silao and one coming to Leon. I neglected to state that of the four who came from Pueblo only three went to La Luz. They did not hide or run away, and the next day were ar- rested and taken to Guanajuato and placed in the jail there, the Castillo de Granaditas. They are still held there as prisoners, cut off from all communication with the outside world. and as the writ of habeas corpus is not in force in this Republic it willin all probabil- ities be years before they have a trial. They will not under any circumstances have a trial as long as it can be postponed, as the State of Guanajuato Government is the most BITTER IN DENOUNCING CATHOLICISM ofany in the Republic. A law exists pro- hibiting priests from wearing their black sotana on the streets. About a month ago the Bishop from Guadalajara was here, and on his way home he stopped at Silao for supper. The linen duster he wore lacked one inch atthe bottom of cover- ing hie sotana, and for this he was arrested, thrown into jail for the nicht, and the next day fined $100. This he refused to pay, saying he would stay in — the fifteen days required. The Bishop here ordered a merchant at Silao to pay the fine, however, and the imprisoned Bishop was then relea though be still wanted to refuse to pay the fi This is only one of the many outrages agains mn ea aoe by the Government State author ties.’ RELIABILITY OF MEXICAN NEWS. **This account, said Mr. Bannentine, as he finished reading it, ‘‘shows the condition of affairs to be bad enough, though it is not as Dad as the original report. It gives details, however, and Ioan vouch fully for the writer of the letter. Iknow, too, something about the way news comes out of Mexico, generaliy, as I have traveled over it a great deal. The officers and crews of the trains, and particularly of the Pullman’s, to have an idea that their duty is in amusing passengers accounts of thrilling occurrences in terior. Ihave hada numberof these spun for my entertainment, but though never caught by one of them, I know a great any people who bave been. One instance of t was in the case of a Bishop of the Methodist Church in this country, who committed him- self in writing to one of these fabrications. It is done right along by people generally, as they have notthe means of verifying the re- ports they hear. Sometimesthey get a grain of truth, as in this case, and sometimes the stories exist completely in imagination.’’ To Advertise Trousers Worth $ and $3.50 for $1.89 is one thing; to be selling them for 51.80 is the other thing at Famous.

Morgan in 1826, and say, ‘‘What became of bim was never known.“ In the autobiography. of Thurlow Weed, volume 1, page 332. there are given the detalls ofa confession made Dy a man named John Whitney to Mr. Weed and two others, conclusively showing the fate of Morgan. in his confession Whitney said „that it was unnecessary to go into the early circumstances of Morgan’s abduction, as they were already pretty well known. ‘*‘When,’’ said Whitney, our friends in Canada refused to take care of Morgan, the Lewiston people sent word to Roches- ter that he could not be kept much longer in the fort, and that we must come to Lewiston immediately. ‘‘In consequence of this information Whitney, who had been with Morgan from the time he was taken out of jail at 2 until he was placed in the magazine at rt Niagara, was again dispatched thither. He continued: ‘*‘Simultaneously the installment ot an en- campmentof Knights Templar drew together at Lewiston a large number of friends, of mane of whom the question of what was to one with Morgan was asked. But the matter was so perplexing that no one seemed willing to act or advise. In the evening, bow ever, Col. William King asked me to step into another room, where found Mr. Howard of Buffaio, Mr. Ohubbuck of Lewiston and Mr. Garside of Youngstown. Col. King said there was a carriage atthe door ready to take us to the fort, into which we stepped and were driven hastil As we proceeded Col. King said had received in- struction from i Highest authority to deal with Mor according to his deserts, and that avin confidence in their courage and fidelity, he had chosen them as assistants.’ On reaching the magazine tney informed Morgan that arrangements had beea perfected tor his removal to tne interior o 2 r he would be settled on a farm them from the fort to the ferry, where a row- boat awaited them. e boat was then rowed ina diagonal direction to the pees | where Ni is lost in Lake —— the boat ready for them and who accompanied them to the carriage which stood in the road a few rods distant from the —— They reached the hotel in Lewiston about 2 o’clock in the. morning Mr. We eed kept this a secret until 1868.

Three months afterwards the letter came back through the dead letter office, Mr. Whitney having died a few weeks previous to the date when the letter was written.

Call 2 used NO EXP A Word About Catarrh. It is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of theair and food passages, that Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once established, it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, trammelling the power of speech, destroying the faculty of smell, tainting the breath, and killing the refined pleasures of taste. Insidiously, by creeping on from a simple cold in the head, it assaults the membranous lining and envelops the bones, eating through the delicate coats and causing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradica- tion will secure health to the patient, and all allevia- tives are simply procrastinated sufferings, leading to a fatal termination. SANDFORD’s RaDICAL CAA, by INHALATION and by INTERNAL administration, has never failed; even when the disease has made ful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing. and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out.
