LONDON, July 20.—The committee to whom is given the power of conferring royal grants on Princess Louise and Prince Albert Victor onthe event of their coming marriage, met yesterday, but failed to come to a definite agreement. The cause of the break was that the Government representatives refused to promise that no other applications for such grauts would be made outside the family of | the Prince of Wales. The struggle over the royal grants promises trouble. Thestatement in the morning pa- pers that Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Morley sus - gest the addition of £40,000 tothe Prince of Wales’ allowance is not true. The Queen re- fuses to waive all further demands for her grandchildren in the way of allowances. The Prince of Wales is believed to be heavily in debt. The wrangle is unseemly. The Hyde Park demonstration against the grants to- morrow is too suddenly improvised to be very imposing, but the popular feeling is against them. AFTER AMERICAN BRICK WORKS. A joint stock company of English capitalists has just been formed for the purchase of the argest American brick works.

MISSOURI'S ASPIRANTS FOR OFFICE ra- TIENTLY WAITING FOR PLACES, Maj, Brock’s Plum May Yet Slip From His Grasp-—-The Ninth District Represen- tative Working for His Constituents —The President's Morning Callers—To- Day’s List of Appointments—Washington News. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispaton. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—The Ninth District Congressman did not get away from the Capital last evening as he had expected, because he came in contact with some of the missionaries here who desired his sery- ices. As a result Mr. Frank was out to- night and early this morning, and made a first call upon the Assistant Secretary of State, Mr. Wharton, whom he learned for the first time had been a schoolmate of his at Harvard College. The consular business was thoroughly gone over, and it was learned that for the présent and until the President sees the Secretary of State again there will be but two appointments to forsign places. These two will be made becausethey are cases of long standing. Neither of them hail from Missouri, but the latter State will receive her reward. From seeing Mr. Wharton the active rep- resentative ofthe Ninth District went down tocallupon Secretary Windom, where he founda big crowd ahead of him—a crowd made up of all complexions—butat the end of an hour Mr, Frank reached the Secretary and hadalong, pleasant and encouraging talk withhim. Among other things he learned that the St. Louls appointments must not be made until the President returned here again; that there was no immediate hurry for the same. The Secretary expressed himself as highly pleased with the can- didate for Chief of the Bureau of Statistics, Maj. Brock. But he intimatedjthat just now there were embarrassmenta in the way which prevented his appointment. It seems that the position, and this does not come from the St. Louls representative, has been held in reserve by the — power lest some asplraut for a consulship, who was disappointed, might be induced to be recon- olled to accept it. There ia also a new candidate for the place in Mr. Whitney, aclerk in the Treasury. The appointment of Thos. Furlong of St. Louis has been agreedupon for Chief of the Secret Service. Frank Erskine of Missouri is his principal opponent. Capt. C. J. Hess, who is a candidate for the postmastership at Macon, Mo., has arrived and opened bis case. Maj. Brock has another man for the place. River and Harbor Appropriations. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—In their re- ports to the chief of engineers of operations under the river and harbor bill, the various officers in charge make the following recom- mendations of appropriation for continuing the work next year: By Major Oswaid H. Ernest—Entrance to Galveston Harbor, Texas, $2,350,000; ship channel in tue bay, $200,000; ‘Trinity River, $42,600; Buffalo Bay, $50,000; Aransas Pass and Bay, $500,000; Harbor at Brazos, Santiago. $600,000. The work on the mouths of Brazos River and Pass Cavillo lulet to Matagordo Bay has been abandoned. By Maj. Daniel W. Lockwood—Kentucky River, $600,000; Licking River, $10,000; Big Sandy River, $141,144; Guyandolette River, West Virginia, $2,000; Littie Kanawha River, $40,000; Buchanan River, $10,000. By Maj.

Allen— Mississippi River above the Falls of St. Anthony, Minnesota, $18,000; reservoirs at head waters, $79,625; Chippewa River, Wisconsin, $60,000; 8b, Croix River, Wisconsin and Minnesota, $34,- 200; Minnesota River, $25,000; Red River of the North, $40,000; Yellowstone River, Montana and Dakota, $65,000. — went 60 far as to say that the date had been fixed for November 1, but others thought a later day would be set. Senate lican tariff bill of last fall will, itis said, be the main business before the extra session. The House has now three Republican major- ‘ity, and more Republicans are expected from the pew States. It wassaid that every effort will be made to push the bill through the House and the Senate in time to have it in full operation by July I next. To Test the Yorktown. WASHINGTON, D. C., July %.—A board con» sisting of Commander W. R. Bridgman, Chief Engineer G. W. Stivers and Naval Con- structor R. W.

Extreme speed ul pot be tested. Council at the Executive Mansion. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—Prominent Officials occupied most of the President's time to-day in the consideration of matters requir- ing action before his departure for Deer Park. Secretary Proctor was the first caller and was followed by Secreta Nobie with Assistant Secretary Chandler; Mr. Walker Biaine, First Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson and Gov. Mliilette, Delegate Mathews and Mr. Lyons of Dakota. Later in the day Secre- tary Windom, Attorney-General Miller and Postmaster-General Wanamaker called and each had a conference with the President on official business. Will Go to Vermont. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—Attorney-Gen- eral Miller willaccompany Secretary Proctor on the occasion of his next visit to Vermont. There is quite a colony of Indianapolis people who spend their summers in that State near Secretary Proctor’s home and Mr. Miller will divide his time between themand the Secre- tary while there. They will probably leave next week. Respectfrlly Declined. V7 ASHINGTON, D. C., July 20.—Col. John P. Nicholson of Philadelphia, who was tendered a position as civilian expert member of the board to publish the rebellion records, has notified Secretary Proctor that he can not ac- cept the place.

C., July 20.—A second offi- cial trial of the gunboat Petrel is to be made to-day at Baltimore, to be witnessed and re- oited on by the board, of which Commodore kerrett is President. Farmers’ National Bank of Nebraska. Wasnineton, D.

C., July 20.—The Comp- troller of the Currency to-day authorized the First National Bank of Longview, Tex., to IN THE KANAWHA VALLEY. Parkerspurc, W. Va., July 2.—A cloud burst over the valley of the Little Kanawha last night, flooding the country, destroying crops, sinking boats and causing the loss of several lives. In three hours the Kanawha raised six feet and ran out with such velocity that it carried everything beforeit. At this point thousands of logs and a number of boats went out or were gunk. The Little Kana- wha Lumber Co. lost 2, 000 logs; West’s Mill,ten rafts; Barringer, several fleets; W. P. Padden,/ five barges with ties, several of which were caught below; Keever & Co. lost four barges of coal: Miller, three rafts and 2,000 ties; Tay- lor, one fleet of timber; Chas. Wells, four. barges. In one hour 5,000 logs went ous. IN THE BIG TYGART VALLEY. Above the destruction was still greater. Big Tygart Valley is completely ruined. The big mill near its mouth went out and took the Tygart bridge with it. In the valley all the fences, crops and much live stock were lost. About noon information was received thas the steamer Oneida had deen wrecked and sunk at Enterprise, above. Still later a ro- port came that the steamer C. C. Martin was sunk at Burning Springs. The Little Tygart is also reported completely ruined. Heathes- ington’s store, Capt. Spencer’s residence, C. P. Cooper's residence and that of J. W. Smith are completely demolished, butno lives are reported lost as yet. At Chesterville, a small town about ten miles above, half the residences were carried oft bodily and left in cornfields. In Clay Dis- tricta une church and three dwellings were wrecked. THE STORM’S GREATEST FURY. The worst story of all comes from Morris- town, asmall village near the head of Tucker Creek, where the cloud-bdurst concentrated in all its fury, coming down on the village about midnight and totally destroying it, together with many of ite people. Thefirst report gave the loss at eleven, but later news seems to fix the loss at a greater number. The houses of the citizens are said to have been picked up and hurled against each other in such a short space of time that no chance of escape was given the people. Among those lost at Morristown are Jake Kiker, his brothers, Joseph and Thomas, a man named Bailey, Orville West, wife and child. The body ofa man believed to be another Morristown victim was found on Richardson farm this morning. A family boat containing three or four per- sons went out during the night, and it is de- lleved that all are lost, as the last seen of them was when the woman held up a child in her arms and beckoned for assistance as the house disappeared in the flood.

There is also a statement that before Auditor Graham left, he confided to a friend that Coleman and he had been acting together in depleting the treasury, and that he pointed ont where warrants were kept, which had been used to make good the treasurers’ credits at the time of the regular examinations of his books. On the other hand Coleman’s friends say that he is innocent,and — he has been the dupe of the unscrupulous Auditor. Postmasters: Charles E. Whittemore at Lyndon, Kan.; office become Presidential.

St Louis’ Great Attraction Shelved 5 by a Part of the Committee. A Secret Meeting at the Mercantile Club Last Night to Prevent the Reviving of the Street Yilumination Scheme—The Proceedings in Full~in the Absence of Active Workers in the Cauxe of the Grand Autumnal Display a Proposition for Abandonment is Carried—The Citizens Will Reverse the Finding on a Fuh Hearing—Let the Streets Blaze With Light! MEETING was held at the Mercantile Club last night of gentlemen inter- ested in providing * gome substitute for the abandoned Fall Festival of Fire. The Festival of Fire had been proposed last spring by Geo. B. Thomson, and had been advocated by others as a sub- - stitute for the > autumnal street U- i lumination, which in other years has attracted so many persons to St. Louis and has so adver- tised the city. It was to be four displays of fire works onthe river, on four evenings in September and October, and was expected to surpass anything of the same sort ever attempted in the country. Thescheme was abandoned a fortnight ago FOR THE REASONS: «+ 1. It would be necessary to remove the whart-boats and barges south of the bridge at great cost and at a time when the river busi- ness was at ite height. 2. The consent of the Bridge Co. forthe use of the big bridge had not been obtained, and it was doubtful if it could be obtained. 3. The people manifested no enthusiasm for it. . 4. The show would be seen to better advan- ‘age from the Illinois shore, and the people from the Illinois side could not be brought Ingo St. Louis on that account. 5. The cost would be greater than the iliu- minations. 6. The levee is not large enough to accom- modate comfortably all the people who might be attracted by the show. 7. Considering the great width of the river, the committee was not certain the display would be sufficiently. brilliant to be effective. Having abandoned the display, THE COMMITTEE, which consisted of George B. Thomson, President; Joseph Specht, Vice-Presi- dent; A. G. Peterson, Secretary: John 8S. Moffitt, Treasurer; Joseph Franklin, Chas. A. Cox, D. C. Nugent, Henry Chassaing, Chas. Whitsett, Goodman King, J. R. Bow- man and George T. Murphy, directors, held a meeting at the Mercantile Cluba week ago last night, appointed a committee on sug- estions consisting of John S. Moffitt, S. M. ennurd, Goodman King, Joseph specht, C. T. Whitsett and M. M. Yeakel. and adjourned until last night, when it was expected the committee would presenta substitute for the pyrotechnic displays. There were present at the meeting last night Mesers. Moffitt, King and Whitsett of the original committee, Messrs Kennard and Yeakel, who had been co-operating with the committee, T. B. Boyd, Geo. Mills, the Manager of the Exposition, a committee of three from the Architects’ Club, Louis C. Bulklaz, T. C. Furlong, Albert W. Swazey and Byron Nugent. BARRED OUT REPORTERS. The papers ofthe city were represented in this meeting, which bad been advertised as — but hardly had the gentlemen begun iscussion when Mr. Kennard announced that they would go up- stairs men of the press.’’ Aboutthree hours later George Mills re- turned tothe first floor and gave to the re- porters the following resolution which, he said, embodied the resuits of the deliberations above stairs. It was said to be a report of the sub-committee on suggestions, which had been adopted: Your committee, to whom has been entrusted the duty of 1 into and reporting upon the pro- priety and feasibility of having, in addition to the other attractions of our fall festivities. an illumina- n, a display of treworks or both combjued, have 6 honor to-report as follows. Having thoroughly examined into the subject and Viewed it from all points, it is decidedly the sense of this committee that no feasible plan has been or can be suggested fora great pyrothecnnic display at all adequate to the occasion, and they therefore rec- ommend that this idea be abandoned, at least for the current year. he proposal of a general illumination has fewer objections than the display of freworks, but for the reason that the extensive ilkuminations that have beautified our city in former years have become less and less attractive, as their novelty has worn off, and inasmuch-as it seems no suitable suggestion of a System of illumination that shall be entirely novel has been devised, it a pears to your com- —— e uestio: of having or not vin n Id be considered . ation to other important elements. When wi ‘fexcpt the gentle- iliuminations were first originated it was the idea of attracting visitors 2 our city. As years have gone by, however, St. Louis bas grown so rapidiy, aud her other attractions have also grown ia ch grand proportions that the Illuminations are no ongernecessary Beyond this, however, there are ether facts which all point to a similar conclust on. Our annual Fxposition. great and successful as it has been in the past. will this year be greater aud more interesting and attractive than it ever been belore.

After come informal discussion Mr. Kennard suggested that each gentleman present ex- press himself on the resolution. This ocou- pied nearly half an hour and was LED BY MR. KENNARD, who advocated it. He held that the illumina- tion bad grown old; thatit kept people away from the Exposition, and had ceased to attract people from the country to st. Louis. The expressions from the gentlemen pres- ent showed a majority in favor of the resolu- tien, and both Mr. Moffitt and Mr. King gave up the fight. The resolution passed, with only Mr. Whitsett and one of the archtliects dissent- ing. Mr. Yeakie refused to vote. It was then proposed that all the gentiemen sign the reso- lution. Mr. Whitsett objected and declared his unalterable opposition. to the give-up lan. The signatures were waived, and Mr. Bills was instructed to see the gentiemen of the press below stairs and give out informa- tion to them. : Mr. Moffitt reported $8,000 contributed to the Fail Festival of Fire and guaranteed the whole sum necessary for an lilumination would be secured. Yet by the votes of persons wholly uninterested all plans were abandoned. Mr. Moffitt said the con- tractor who put up the gas fixtures last year would do the work for §2,000 less this year, and so for the same money a much grander show could be given. Yet the votes in this public meeting were cast agalnst all plans and propositions. It was not because the people wanted the tall illumination schemes abandoned that they were thus summarily disposed of. No at- tempt had been inade to get 8 THE PUBLIC OPINION, and the experience of the Treasurer of the Fire Festival was that 2 could be got for the street illumination where one could be had for the pyrotechnic display. It was apparent from every sign that the people wanted the street illumination. and the scheme only had the opposition of a few men. Yet the whole business was abandoned. The resolution presented asareportof the sub- tion committee on sugvestions to the general com- mittee was offered by George Mills, who had never appeared in any previous meeting of the Illumination nor the Fall Festival of Fire committees. It was voted by only three of the gentiemen recognized as members of that organization, and each one of the three had spoken against its adoption, They were overborne by six men who never had any connection with the illumination schemes before. Mr. Thomson, the leader of the illumina- tion movements, is in Sandwich Isiands. Mr. Specht, the Vice-President, was kept away by pressing business. The Secretary, A. G. Peterson, had broken his ankle, and other active members were unavoidably absent. Possibly without a single exception the fell illuminations of the streets have served more to advertise the city of St. Louis than any other attraction it has had, and it will not be abandoned now. The people will repeal the decision of last nichts meeting. They Married Abroad. „omen who have made foreign marriages.

ICER BIEHLE KNOCKS OUT SERGT PIERCE’S CHARGES AGAINST THE POLICE. * The Latter in His Own Defense—He Was Not Re-Blected Because He Fought ter the Pyym- ut of Fees Inte the Fund— What His Daughter Received for Appear- ing at the Benefit, The sensational charges made by Sergt. George Pierce against prominent members of the Police Relief Association are knocked into a cocked hat. And one of that gentle - man’s own henchmen put in the flashing blow. Officer Biehle, the Secretary of the old comniittee, this morning made a statement which refuted the charges in toto and placed Sergt. Pierce ina most unenviable position. According to Officer Biehle’s statement not a man onthe force owes the association one penny. Hesaid: ‘‘The whole trouble came about over a mistaken sense of right and ob- ligationsa, The newspapers insist that Serst. Pierce charges that fees were stolen. According to the constitution of the association all witness fees due a member must be paid into thetreasury. There are four courts where the officer cannot collect those fees, the Secretary being required to sign the receipt for their payment. But, in the United States Court and Justice of the Peace offices, the officer must present himself in person. One or two of the men thought they were entitled to retain these fees, but as soon asthe situation was explained to them they promptly paidin the money. They were never threatened into such action. They did it of thelrown free will. Another thing, the books of the association have nothing to show that Capt. Frangel or any other man owes any money to the treasury- Capt. Frangel did owe $300 but tbat account has been balanced in full longjago. The association isin a wore pros- perous condition financially at the present time than it ever has been in the history of We now have $18,000 on hand, and the books never before snowed such asum.’’ „How long ago was the discovery made that these few officers were holding out United States Court fees?’’ About nine months ago. ered that fact I at once laid it before Sorgt. Pierce, the President of the committee. The matter was then explained to the men and the money paid over. ‘*Thepo why has Sergt. Pierce waited until after his defeat in an election to make this matter public, instead of exposing the offend- ers nine months ago, if there bad been any- thing wrong?’’ This question still remains unanswered. SERGT. MURRAY has placed his complaint iu writing and left it in the hands of the proper authorities. Asan inevitabie result Sergt. Pierce must now come up before the Board of Police Commissioners to answer to the charge of libeling Seret. Murray by making the remark that Murray bad been forced into paying 221 into the fund which he had retained for his own use. It is generally understood that atthe secret meeting held yesterday morning by the mem- bers of the retiring board it was decided if possible to hold another election and itis unauthoritatively stated that Citv Counselor Bell was interviewed on such action. Anew electioa would be contrary tothe dictates of either legislation or reason. Sergt. Boyd will object most strenuously to any such step. SERGT. GEORGE PIERCE was seen this morning at the Fourth District Station and discussed his side of the case freely. Said be: ‘‘The statement that has been made that all members of the committee except one were ousted is not correct. There are fifteén members of the committee, but the only men who permitted their names to be put up for re-election were Vanstan, Hayes, King, Joyce, Biehle, Badger, Lucy and myself. The six first named were re-elected, Lucy and I being the only two who failed of re-election. That shows they made a mark of me. They wanted me Out ot there because I bad made myself ob- noxious to some of them by insisting on their aying into the fund all the fees due it. ucy’s defeat I cannot account for unless it was becanse he stuck to me in my fight to have these fees paid into the fund. Sergt. Murray claims they all joked me about my defeat and I took it good naturedly. That is not true. He is the only man who joked me about it, and that was what caused us to have words. I went to see City Counsellor Bell in refer- ence to the election. I claimed it was not regular, because the Fourth Sub-station had not been notified and the Fifth District officers were told to be down at 1] o’clock in- stead of l0 o’clock. Mr. Beil asked me if the failure to notify the Fourth District sub- station would have made any difference in the result. I told him it would, as the two sergeants there would have come down and both would have voted for me, as they had told me they would do so. Onthe first ballot only forty-four votes were cast, of which King and I received twenty-two each. The votes of those two sergeants or of either of them would have elected me that ballot. Mr. Beli then agreed with me that I should have been elected. Besides. I think the Fifth District men were told the wrong hour so as to beat me. My friends did not have time to circulate around among them after they came, and I think they were all fixed against me by my enemies. It was all a put up job to defeat me. ‘*‘While President of the committee I re- ceived information that fees were collected in the United States Court by mem- bers of the association and not turned into the relief fund, where they belonged. I told Officer kienle to go there and see if enough fees had been colleet- ed to warrant me in appointing a committee to examine the books of the court. He report- ed to me thatthere had been, and brought a list of the delinquent, and this list of names is entered on the minutes of the association. I instructed Biehle to write a letter to the Captain of each District, requesting him to inform the men that the delinquents were known, and asking themto pay upto save further trouble. We have a by-law which makes it obligatory for all members to notity the association when they bave cases com- pleted. In response to these letters sent out by us in reference to the United States Courts, aht. John W. Campbell informed us thut he und some others had $15 in fees due them out in Ulayton, We hud heard nothing of uny fees due or collected by officers in Clay- ton, so, acting on the information given us by Capt Campbell, I concluded to wake an in- vestigation and lern if some officers hau not collected fees out there without making avy returns to the association. I asked the Chief to let Officer Bichie and Treas- urer of the tund hing «co to Clayton to investi- gute the matter. He wranted them a leuve on their application and they found that about $500 in fees had been collected out there by Captains, sergeants, detectives and policemen and retained by them, All the delin- quents were notifivdto pay up. They paid no attention to the matter. A second note Was sent them and many paid up the witness fees they had received for attendance at court after deduciing the mileage they had been allowed. The higher officers failed to come ferward, however. Again they were notified, aud I received word that a certain high offticiul wanted to see mein relation to fees.

Ramsey has been appointed Grand Or- ganizer of the order of Railway Telegraphers, with principal office in this city. Col. Menman Camp, No. 171, Sons of Veter- ans, will hold a picnic and athletic entertain- ment at Wolf’s Park to-morrow. Rathbon Division, No. 17, Uniformed Rank K. of P., have concluded to go down the river next Wednesday evening on the steamer Grand Republic. This will be the second, compli- N tary.excursion given by the order during the year. The Broadway Sporteman’s Park will be opened to-morrow by a game between the re- organised Nationals andthe M A. A. C. of Bt. Louis. The Pittsburg train will make an extra trip forthe accommodation of St. Louis and Belleville friends who wish to attend. The members of the Concordia Gesang- verein have completed all arrangements for their picnic and entertainment at Mollen- brecht’s Park to-morrew. A fine musical and literary programme has been prepared, and all who attend will no doubt pass a most en- joyable afternoon and evening. The First Mutual Lean and Building Associ- ation met in Jackieseh’s Hall last night and sold $1,000 to Paul Blocker at 18 per cent and $4,000 to George W Ewing, Superintendent of the gas- works, at 16 percent. Mr. Ewing will place the money bought lastnight in a new dwelling on Eighth street, near Pennsy!vania avenue, which part of the city is fast becom- ing the fashionable residence portion. Many magnificent houses now decorate that section, including a few whieh cost not less than $20, 000. . The Council Chamber will be crowded this evening with citizens and interested parties who wish to hear the bids on the Broadway reconstruction. As this street will be the fist in the order of things to receive the Council’s consideration, the people from all over town will watch the matter with interest. The grade will be that of 1844, but differs materi- ally from the system adopted years ago by Bowman inthe particular manner of draining in one direction. The Bowman ordinance wade several portions of the _§ city the outlets, while the present plan is to bave a graded elevation extending from Cahokia Creek to Tenth street with a fall of six inches to the 100 feet, which is con- sidered superior to the otber pian in the wat- ter of cost. Bids will be received up to the time of the Council’s meeting, and from present indications considerable rivalry will exist between the several contractors for the work. One company, represented by the Hon. W. H. Hill, has sent for inspection a sample of their tile, consisting of a large pipe from the works at Aiton Junction, Madison Co., III. A majority of the citizens are in favor of letting the contract to East St. Louis parties if the bids received from here are within a few cents of those offered from other sections, contending that the difference will be made up in the increased amount solid by the local grocers and business men. The filling will be supported the whole length ofthe street by two retaining walls of an average height of seven feet, containing nearly 2,000 perches of rock. It is supposed that the contracts will be let separately for the different parts of the work, such as filling, seweripg aud tiling. Belleville. One of the instruments filed in Recorder Lill’s office yesterday was that of the Wabash & Western Raliway Co. to James F. Joy, Ossian D. Ashley. Thos. H. Hubbard and Edgar T. Welles, a masters’ deed amounting to $15,550,- 000. This is said to be one of the largest deeds ever filed here and caused the deputies of the office inuch surprise. The two local nines, the Pastimes and the Pinafores, will cross bats to-morrow for the second time. The rivalry existing between the clubs and their friends will causea 9 crowd to to congregate at National Park. The batteries will be Lohman Buchert for the Pastimes and Bux and Wilmer forthe Pina- fores. Ine Cairo Short Line and the Loulsville & Nashville have each consented to a rate of] ceut per mile, providing this city 1s selected as un place of meeting for the Soldiers and Sailors’ Association of Southern Lilinois. Dele- gates will be sent to Centralia on Monday next to induce representatives of the organization toappoint Belleville as the meeting-place. Friends of the movement claim that this city is centrally located and easy of access from all parts of the State. Hotel accommo- dations are amply sufficient for the entertain- ment of a very large number of visitors, and the Fair Grounds would furnish a pleasant re- treat forthe soldier boys. The Oitizens’ Com- mittee will present the invitation and report Duck as soon as possible.

Those who looked at what they heard saw that one of the kissers was a comely, ele- gant lady of 25 years, with no tinge of a blush on the kissed cheek, nor any dep. recation in the smile of the lips that did a Tull half of the kiss- ing. Nevertheless, the other participant was agentleman of about her ownage. The fact explanatory was that they were cousins. He called her Dell in his hearty greeting, and she vyivaciously responded: ‘‘Dell what? You don’t know my name, Tom Barlo, for I’ve changed it. ‘*Married?’’ „Ves. I've been Dell Erwing since yester- day. You may find ‘William Erwing and wife’ registered atthe hotel. We stopped off the train at Frisco, went to a minister and the rest of my journey eastward is going to bea bridal trip.“ She was telling this ina lively yet unexcited way, as though she supposed he would be interested by it, or even aston- ished, but with a self-posseseed air which showed that she deemed it no particular con- cern of bis. It was a narration and not a con- fession. ‘‘Youknewl had spent the winter and spring with Uncle Henry’s folks in San Francisco, she went on as they took seats, „and I wrote to you to join me here for some of the journey if convenient. I’m not afraid to travel alone, but uncle thought something might happen to me on the way.’’ ‘‘And something has happened to you, I should say.’’ ‘‘Hasn’t there? Yes, indeed. Do you know, Tom, I think there is no place on earth where sentiment, emotion—anything of the heart sort—progresses so fast asona railroad train. I cared nothing especially for Will Erwing in California, butI liked him through Nevada, Iwas fond ot him through Wyom- ing, I loved him through Colorado, and on getting to DenverI was ready to marry him before we traveled any further. That is a progressive process of elope- ment surely.’’ Not an elopement at all, Tom. It was by a mere chance that Will and his sister—she is a lovely girl and you’d like her—I say it was by chance that we started on the sametrain. We bad become friendly in San Francisco, but hadn’t fallen in love at all. Lou are sure you love him now!“ Sure? Oh, yes. I love him well enough— well, in plain English, to lie to him. You know how truthful Iam?’’ He nodded assent, and she went glibly on: Well, Ihave told a falsehood to Will, and I’ve madeupmy mind to take you into my confidence. I'll be Sap- phira, and you’ll be my Ananias—won’t you?“ ‘ „I've been for five years a traveling sales- man for a St. Louis dry goods house, was the answer which seemed to him sufficient, Land the ground hasn't yawned to take me in It is about something thatthe ground has given up that I’ve lied. Listen to me, and don’t interrupt, for Will may come any min- ute. He is in the baggage.room ——e after our trunks. A whimsical dear fellow he is, and one of his was that he wouldn't marry * one Who was richer than he—and he wasn’t rich to the extent of a single thousand dollars. I am an orphan, you know, and wasn’t heiress toanything until last winter, when a Nevada aunt left me something. I’ve got it right here in this habd-bag—a certificate for thirty pounds of pure goid—deliverable here in Den- ver. That's not so much of a fortune, is it? But Will wouldn't have taken me with that encumbrance if he had known. When he asked me if I was poor, I looked him lovingly straight in the eyes, gulped the lump of con- science down out of my throat, and said I would arrive in New York a dollariess de- pendent on my relatives. Then he hesitatea no longer, but asked me to stop off the train to marry.’’ What are you going to do with the gold?“ wish you to get it for me. You’re bound for St. Louis. Why not travel along with us awhile? Willand bis sister were making for New Orleans when the casualty occurred— when I happened to them—and we've decided to stick to their programme. You will do me aservice, Tom Bario, by drawing the thirty ——— of gold, packing it in a satchel, and ringing it along with us, Imay hit on some way or other of getting it, or its equivalent, into Will’s possession in a manner to make bim believe it didn’t come from me. Mrs. Erwing was gazing keenly into her cousin’s face, as alert women are apt to do when watching the effect of their language, andshe saw an expression which puzzied her, for it was something different from either disinclination or readiness tc serve her. For an instant an eager gleam in his eyes, and a downward tension at the corners of his mouth, — a repellant visage to the usually agreea- leyoung man. Covetousness and avarice darkened bis countenance. but it quickly ig when the lady arose to meet her hus- and. Willlam Erwing was a big, brawny man of 80, with good humor in every lineament of his frank face, and careless unconcern in each sag and flop of his easy clothes. A bride never fails to critically compare her husband With the first brother or cousin to whom she introduces him. and, while Mrs. Erwing was acquainting these two men with each otber. she realized that the geniality of the one was spontaneous and of the other an assumption. She had long Known her cousin Tom as an aggressively jovial fellow. She briefly knew her husband Will as one whose manner was sincerely, unobtrusively amiable. The scru- tiny tended to make her content. The bridal party wasto leave Denver two hours later. Tom Barlo was successfully urged to travel with them as far as Kansas City. He dined with them at their hotel, in the meantime, and there met Miss Lucilla Erwing, called Lu even in the formality of an Introduction. She was a feminized counter- Dart of her brother, with two-thirds his age, half his weight, and less than that proportion of his freedom of manner, but with ype A ot ezactly his kind of ingenuous good nature. She was an observer of the niceties of polite- ness, as ordered by ladies’ usage, except that she laughed merrily aloud when provoked thereto. Herlaughter was so musical and hearty, however, that nobody could think of regarding it as indecorous. Mrs. Erwing found the opportunity to pri- Vately give to Tom the order for the thirty pounds of gold, and the yellow metal was de- livered to bim ein three ingots a: the United States Assay office, where he presented the “ocument. Some formalities of signature and Wentification had to be undergone, and in submitting to them Tom was. singularly nerv- ous and ie cousin had signed a whims nut been in Denver, and to indicate that she eitogether a myth. But before suspicion was time he was using his feet with nimble He slowed himself when he Saud es the train had not started, however, and entered a car in a state of fever and asthma, yet with grave composure and delib- eration. He passed through that car and an- other before coming to the rear of the train, This was a drawing-room and sleeping coach and the Erwing party of four had’ taken the front two opposite sections. Mrs. Erwing and Lu had disposed themselves in one seat and the men had settled down across the aisle. — on — gpl nam laid carelessly cepting that Tom’s b floor between his feet. eee ee pee t - find oe in your way, I think,’’ ng Was saying, he. g ying, as the young man passed Well, it contains some things that I am rather careful of, Barlo replied, nervously, as he lifted the bag to the seat facing them. The grave young man eyed the treasure fur- tively, andtried to hide his satisfaction at finding the adjacent seat empty and purchas- able. That placed him within reach of the article which he had been assigned to accom- pear. no matter where to, or how long, until o receivea an order by telegraph telling him how to vary nis duty. A quick choice of him had been made from among the clerks of the Assay office, after the Director became mis- takenly convinced thata fraud of some sort had been perpetrated, and he was enjoined to keep in us frequent telegraphic communica- tions with headquarters as possible. He was constituted a Government detective, and thereupon he made up hie mind to perform the Ig noble service with the intellectual acu- men and physical portiiness of a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals. His name was Jasper Adaman No handbag was ever the subject of deeper or more diverse regard. Tom Barlo gazed on it and schemed how to make its contents his own. He had no deliberate intention to steai the gold, but plans of theft would come into his mind, one after another, and he found himself carefully arranging their details and estimating their feasibility. Mrs. Dell Erwing rested her eyes on the receptacie of her small fortune, and puzzled herself affectionately how to convey it to her husband without his knowing the source from whence it came. Jasper Adaman twisted his neck to get a fre- quent sight of the thing, and meditated upon the possibilities of his mission. But William rwing was untroubled in his honeymoon happiness, and neither he nor his merry sister Lu suspected the bag of having uncommon contents. The cars rolled along down from the Rocky Mountains height of Denver for two hours. Tom Barlo took to studying a time table, in which he saw that a westward train would meet and pass this eastward train at Mirage. What of it? He put the question mentally to himself, and answered that it meant nothing whatever to him. But he went onto think that, if he wished to steal the gold, a way to co it was to quit this train at Mirage and get aboard the other. He pronounced the idea preposterous, Dut he did not get rid of it, and when the stop was made he alighted with the bag in his hand. He seemed actuated by some Impulse which got its force outside of himseif. Erwing did not accompany him. He had the opportunity to use the speed of two locomo- tives to put distance between the gold and its owner. He walked slowly toward the further end of the platform, w ondering at his inabil- ity to cease plotting a crime, and debating whether there was any likelibvod of his changing to the westward train when it came. The most resplendent things in Colorado are the drinking saloons, and a new one at Mirage was to be paneled with mirrors. The big plates of glass had been delivered at the sta- tion. They were unframed, and some of them were out of the boxes in which they had been transported. The owner o the groggery had discovered that if the edges of two mirrors are placed together at a right angle, with no frame nor anything else to sep- arate their surfaces, a person sees himself duplicated in the corner thus formed. Halt the image ison one glass and half on the other, but the juncture is not visible, and a singular optical effect is that, no matter where the man stands, or how he changes his i G@say oeareg™ it Uff i] 1 YA aS iS ‘Sy § — —-— N * * * “= =a ea Uy ee 7 x PRs 2 \ * * s a * * — 2 N. ‘ 1 Lay —— — He Was Permitted to Depart With the Gold. place, his reflection will not budge from its place in the mirrored angle. The name of Mirage had been derived from the frequency of the visual illusion of mirage in the rarified atmospbere of the elevated region, and it may be that the whisky seller meant to startie his customers beyond — — known to the Fata Morgana, as they drank at his bar. As though impatient to foresee the practicability of his plan, he had set up adozen of the mir- ror plates in right-angled pairs against the boxes and the side of a treight-house. Toward them Tom Bario walked unexpectedly. To his sudden amazement he encountered him- self in multiple Each Tom Barlo had a VII- lainous scowl and skulking air as ne gripped the bag of gold. Notwithstanding the ab senco of frames from the looking-glasses he would have comprehenJed them at a second glance but for the behavior of the reflected images. They did not stir from their separate glasses as he advanced, nor change their po- sitions in the least when he moved aside, but stared back at him like so maby thieves suddenly halted in their flight. He was shocked and bewildered as though by a super- natural vision. „That's acurious effect, slr. It was Ada- man whose voice onused Barlo tg turn ab- ruptly, with a quiver of fright. „Wat d’you say?’’ he brokenly responded. | Po you mean the effect on me?“ „Oh, no; the queer optical effect of such an arrangement of mirrors.’’ ‘‘Certainly—that is—yes, I was observing it myself. o Barlo as much as to Adaman it remained an uncertainty whether a flight was prevented by the encounter of the mirrors. The two men sauntered back to their car, and went journeying along as before. The afternoon at length became dusky, and the passengers drowsy, when the darkness of a tunnel, coming suddenly, aroused them toa wide-awake state. The train had entered a mountain near Arapahoe, and the car in which the Erwing party sat was never to emerge from the other end of the railway bur- row. The tunnel extended nearly a mile through the almost solid rock. At about mid- way of the transit a rail broke from Its fusten- ings just in time to throw the rear car off the line. The speed was high and the momentum great. The couplings were severed as though the iron links were straw. The dera/led truck turned abruptly and the fore end of the car atruck the side of the tunnel with awful force. There was a noisy breakage of the rock and a joud crunching of wood and metal. The por- tion of the car not wrecked was crammed crosswise of the tunnel. From its windows passengers crawled ont, some disabled ones requiring the help of their less hurt com- anions. These had occupied the rear two- birds of the coach, back of the point of de- molition. They were too stunned and con- fused to think of the persons who had been at the other extremity of the car. The quick ap- plication of the air-brakes stopped the rest of the train several hundred beyond the disaster and it was backed to the piace. „% Are they all out?’’ the oondu asked. „No, sah, the negro porter replied, with 2 .

A VARIATION OF THE ROUTE. ot roc 8 2 2 — Before there was time to talk, even enough to learn whether any of them had been badly in- jured, a glimmer of firelight grew into a glare and they were aware that the car was bura- ing. It was through the aperture of a mass of broken car and rock that the flames were viel- ble to them. To escape in the opposite di- rection was their firat impulse, but they found that the end of the car was broken in a manner to close all egress by either door or windows. Thethree men set to work at the wreckage, and the women, too, used their weaker hands. They were terrified, but not demoralized, and they meant to save them. selves from death by fire. They were suffi- ciently self -possessed, too, to observe that the flames were being sucked away from the other side of the barricade of debris, and that as fast as the wood therein was consumed buge sec- tions of rock dropped down as though an enormous quantity of the stone above the tunnel had been loosened from the solid mass ofthe mountain.

The oil lamp still bung from the roof of the car, and its metal construction had saved it from other breakage than that of its glass chimney. With it In his hands, Erwing led the way to the platform, and the ladies were helped to alight. They stepped on a surface of gravel. At the sides of a passage scarcely a third wider than the car were walis of rock, on which were no marks of human workmanship. The roof was of very unequal height, too, and it was clear that thie was no tunnel made by man. „„This is the old course of an extinct stream,’’ said Erwing, after holding the lamp close to the ground and totherock. ‘‘We are in an underground passage—an elongated cave—left by a river that has now dried up, or been turned into another channel. That is certain.’’ fj 70 fr g gi 5 — 7 ＋ “ty, N 1 rinnt Nn N 0 1 . 4 dl . 4 — J A * hes a ‘te 7 * Py Oe hive Gs . * f 7 } nt sas 4, \ 7 A 2 N 14 iu. ~t : n 8 — A „ EHL ND THEM WAS THE * DD N SVE — d 2 ~ Sages r — — — - 2 9 — os 22 ; 5 7 0 Yo WATERFALL."’ leas furiously as the fire was slowly shut away from them by the self-forming wali, and yet they dia not cease to slowly remove the obstruc- tions from one of the windows. Soon William Erwing’s exceptional strength pushed aside a displaced sash and he thrust wut his head to see what was outside. But the flames were now burning very feebly beyond the barrier, which wasso massively thick that hardly a gleam came through the chinks. These sparse rays faded out, one after another, andthe blackest darkness ensued. No sound came from the further side. The five tourists were by themselves. Their re- marks were exclamatory. Where were they? Had the other passengers perished? Was * any further danger? What was best to o „I will strike a match, said Er wing. and climb out for an exploration. He took a match from bis pocket, and drew It across his knee. The crackling little fizz of ignition was followed by aloud, rasping sound. The section of car began to move. Although the striking of the match had only by chance accompanied this new disturbance, the co- incidence made the noise and motion all the more appalling tothe huddling group. They vaguely surmised that an extensive fall of rock was pushing along their remnant of the coach. It wascertain that the six-wheeled truck under it was drawing its attached iron rods and broken timbers out of the barricade. The grating of metal and stone, the breaking of wood and glass, and the violent wrenching and shaking of the floor to which the bewil- dered persons fell, proved to them that some- thing had detached their fragment of a vehicie from the wreckage. The noise was too great to permit the hearing of one another’s voice. They could see nothing, for the match was shaken from Erwing’s fingers. But it had shown him where his wife and sis- ter were, and while he made fastto them with his hands, he threw his legs around the bases of the seats, to which they also clung. Bario and Adaman seized the first solid things that their hands touched. All lay in con- fusion and dismay. They were quickly made aware that the wheels were going faster and faster under- neath, and that they were not riding on rails, but were jolting over an uneven surface, and banging against rocky sides. It requires an experienced traveler to know in the dark whether his car is moving one way or another on the level, but it is easier to feel the descent of even a light grade, and in this case the indescribable sense of downward movement asserted itself amidst all the commotion. The truck was going down an incline. It crunched sand and peb- bies, itswayed with the inequalities of the surface, it scraped along the rock, it dragged the rattling ends of loose iron rods behind and it threw the occupants aboutin spite of their desperate clinging, but nothing checked, more than momentarily, the awful acceleration of speed, and they could do nothing but prayer- fully await such a deadly stop as scemed inevitable. At first they were mentally benumbed by the horror of their mys- terious transit,and their minds comprehended little else than an instant exnectation of being dashed to death. But as seconds became minutes, andthe minates did not bring a de- molishing disaster they began to wonder as well as dread. Mrs. Erwing drew herself closer to her husband and kissed him tender- ly. Itmeant good-bye. But it had arousing rather than a soothing effect on the man. It made him resolve to do something instead of lying there Inert and helpless. ‘*Barlo!’’ he shouted. ‘*‘Barlo!’’ Hello!“ was the response. „Im here, too,’’ cried Adaman. The din and the jolting made the words dif- ficult to hear, although the 8peakers were al- most heaped together. „„Take hold of the ladies, both of vou,“ Erwing directed. ‘‘Cling all together. I’m going to find out where we are. After making sure that Dell and Lu were -firmly gripped, he struckamatch. The air blew itoutinstantly. Then he crawled under the sheiter of a seat and tried another. * its fitful fare he could discern nothing. hat else was there todo? A lurch of the car threw him on his back, and he called to the women to ask if they were still there. Their answer consisted of two little screams of fright. Then he made an outcry on his own account. It was so nearly exultant that the others feared he was crazed. „„The brake!“ he yelled. ‘‘Like enough I can get to the brake. M2nd the ladies, and I'll try.’ He . his way forward flatly on all fours to the broken door, using all his strength, wrenched it out of the shattered frame that held it. This was accomplished slowly, and aintully, too, for while at it he was thrown Bard against the sides. The air rushed into his face through the opened door, showing that the veloc ty was as great as he had thought it. He dro Following it with hands, the wheel of e brake. It was torn from its fastenings Hope sank out of his heart and brake. The tat ion of the platform was still more violent than the floor further back Ons corner 8 wall | 22 dia we get into it?“ Mrs. Erwing asked. ‘ The question was aposer. Each member of the party had a guess to make, and an ack- nowiledgement of a failure to advance a reas- onable theory, excepting Adaman, whose gravity and dignity had already been resumed. As his conclusion was the true one it should be given here. These mountains abound in underground streams and dry courses, he said. ‘‘I am something of a geologist, and I have examined a number of caves that were evidently the outiets of such extinct rivers. Now it seems probable to me that the railway tunnel chanced to be cut so close to one of these natural passages that only a thin, cracked wall of rock separated them. Our car rap off the track and struck the wall so hard as to break clear through it. Then the stone caved down from above, separating our end of the car from the other, which was left in the tun- nel. We saw the rest of it burn up, didn’t we? That loosened the truck on which we were, aud itrandown the inciosure with its own weilght.’’ And howfar have we come, I wonder?’’ said Barlo. Let me see,’’ said Erwing, taking out his watch and opening its dented case with some difficulty, it couldn't have been far from 5 o’clock when the accident bappened. Now it’s almost6. Atthe shortest we were thirty to forty minutes onthe way. Of course, the roughness of the route may have made the speed seem greater than it was, but if we didn’t come at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour then Iam out in my calculation. 80 we are anywhere between ten and twenty miles from the tunnel. They went inspectingly around the vehicle in which they had made the trip off the track. Its front was not smashed as by a straight- ahead collision with solid rock. It had broken through a wall that did not utterly wreck it before oy + and the roof as tar back as fifteen feet had gone through the aperture before the fall of dislodged tons of rock smashed the structure in tbe middle, so nearly severing it thatthe fire completed the dismemberment. An ex- amination of the truck showed that it was not injured, while the splintering abrasions and deep indentations on the fore corners and sides of the remaining section of the car body were more from contact with the sides of the watercourse than fromthe original impact. The incline of the passage, so far as deter- mined by walking twenty rods forward and back, was about one foot in ten, but the ex- plorers had no means of knowing how nearly that represented the grade down which they had passed. They could see, however,that the long iron rods, which had 333 been gir- ders to support the car, but which had tralled along the ground in the descent, had acted as a hindrance tothe speed, as well as a sort of rudder to keep the truck from turnin abruptly against the rock. This drag ha donbtless saved their lives. ‘‘How shall we get out?’’ was an early question. „By walking back to the tunnel, was a ready answer. ‘‘But when we get there, said Barlo,“ who knows that we could make our way through that mass of rock? I don’t believe we could. It was a great many feet thick and composed of an immense quantity of stone.’’ „Hush,“ Erwing whispered. ‘‘Do you want to drive all the courage out of the ladies?“ ‘‘I’m inclined to think, said the more hopeful Ademan, with a quite judicial air „that we'd better gake the other direction. observe that there is a perceptible current of alr coming from that way. The atmosphere is not stale here. There is a ventilation, proving that the passage has two onen ends. Now, is it not fair to presume that affords a better egress the other terminus? Besides I know something of the geography of this region. Big Sandy Creek runs parallel with the rallroad until near the tunnel, and then turns off southerly. May it not be that we are in the bed of a stream that used to be u tributary of the Big 1 or even ofa former course of that river itseit, and which will lead us to the open air?’’ „And there's a big advantage in fayor of travel in that direction,’’ said Erwing, that of riding over walking. Why can’t we use still further the wheels that have trundled us this far?’’ ‘*‘Meroy, no, the bride exclaimed. ‘* After we've once escaped death on it?“ Lu protested. „But now we can control it, he argued. The brake will enable us to move as slowly as we like, and as fast as we dare. We have a lamp here, but no oil to refill it, and we ought to make the best use of its light during the time it will burn. We have nothing to eat or drink. That is another reason to hurry.

But extremes met im these two persons, for it was Adaman who lent his arm to the small but ppl hands of Miss Erwing, while be held ast for both tu the hand rail that was still in- ct. Tom Barlo had one arm around the doorpost, while with the other hand he clutched the bag of gold. Mrs. Dell Erwing was unddled atthe other side of the door. Nobody had any inclination to stand upright on the jolting vehicle, slowly though it went, except William Erwing, to whom the brake wheel afforded a support while he worked it. All leaned forward in their efforts to see fur- ther into the gloom than the light of the lamp reached. At the end ofa mile or more the air fresh- ened suddenly and blew into their faces mach harder than their slow movement could have caused. They heard a sound of runnin: water above the hoise of the wheels. The lamp was extinguished bythe draught. Erwing tight- ened the brake with all his might, but it no longer stayed the car, although it blocked the wheels. There was a precipitogs slide, which would have tumbled the passengers off if they had not been holding fast, and they knew that they had gone swiftly down a steep place. Then they were aware, in the darkness, that a rushing stream was encountered, and that it caught the car and swung it into a direction almost ata right angle from that in which it had been going. The dry tunnel had emerged into one through which a torrent was dashing. Bewilderment at tne change of conditions lasted only a moment and the tourists comprehended, as they might not have done but for their rapid gchooling in the possibilities of mischance, that they were in a new peril. Then daylight came into sight. It was rods ahead when they first saw it, and it defined the end of the passage. The water swept the car aiong, submerging it so that the platform was covered, and yet letting its wheels grate along the rock bottom. Nota word, not a cry, was uttered. All eves were fixe on the distant but nearing aperture, which wag like a bright disc set in blackness. The over- wrought visions acutely saw thata yellow cloud was floating across the irregular section of bluesky. They moved swifter and swifter toward the opening, and its dimensions rela- tively spread as they approached, but without disclosing anything but clond and azure. As they got very near to it the roar became that of falling water, andinthe now ample light of day they sawthe hurry and curve of the river where it left the slope and made a down- ward plunge. They were going to be borne over a cataract. Erwing quitted the brake and sprang to his wife. All clung desperately to one another and to the car, which shot out from the end of the tunnel, impelled by the rush ot water like a projectile. The ejection was powerful enough to make the trailing remnants at the rear clear the preci- pice, and then the car dropped straight down- ward. The awful sense of falling was increased in horror by the uncertginty as to the height; but the torture was momentary for the car was descending between the walls of a chasm which narrowed downward, so that the plut- form on which the five persons crouched was first squeezed between the confines of rock and then brought to a stop. They had closed their eyes instinctively fora shock. On com- ing toa rest without casualty, although not without some violence, they gazed about in astonishment. The car was lodged in the olett ot stone a hundred feet from the bottom. Behind them was the waterfall. In front the view opened out upon a heavily wooded plain, through which the river meandered lazily, as though to regain composure after its underground turbulence and lofty fall. The shaken quintette lay flat on the careened platform, fearing that it would slipfrom its lodgment and spillthem tothe bottom of the chasm, but after a minute of that they peered over the edges and saw a party of about a hundred persons gathered on one bank of a pool, from which the waterfall raised a mass of foam, spray and mist. The sun was setting, and its last level rays made this dampness resplendent with evanescent bits of rainbow, while the almost inclosing rocks echoed the roar of the waters in a melody which rose and fell with the wind thatewas fitfully blowing. The people were men, women and children, fan- tastically clad in costumes that mixed the fabrics of civilization with the skins and feath- ers of savage costuming. They were gazin up at the car in manifest awe. Their upturne faces showed the characteristics of Indians and negroes, separate and distinct in some of the older representatives of one or the other race, but amalgamated in the younger indi- viduals with singularly irregular results ‘of features, bair and complexion. They were. silent and nearly motionless, with their eyes turned aloft. Suddenly an old negress ran to the middie of the throng. She was as tall as any man 1 and her figure was erect, but her kinky hair was white, and her face was wrinkled with age. She wore a dress of rudely dyed skins, and bright feathers were stuck about her head. She tossed ber arms, swayed her body and began to chantinahigh, shrill voice, which was quickly accompanied by the harsh, but rythmical singing of the others. The song, or hymn, was in reception and honor of the travelers, as shown by the looks and ges- tures. Between thirty and forty years ago, Kansas was a battle ground for ploneer settlers, some of whom determined that the siavery of Negroes should be instituted in the new State, while others were equally resolute to establish human freedom. The history of > ee Kansas has been written in many forms, but in none of tbese accounts is the story of the Akenorths told. A negro family named Akenorth migrated trom Louisiana to the extreme western end of Kansas. They were runaways from bondage, seeking a new home inthe wilderness. Misied in their expectation of finding Kansas a place of safe refuge, and alarmed by the warfare encountered there, they abandoned their set- tlement on what is now called Monotony River, to flee still further from cruel civiliza- tion into the mountainous wilderness of Colo- rado. There they remained in a region that is still primeval. Their fright and hardships partially crazed them. Either by a curious coincidence, or as the result of irrational association, the father, motber and two sons became alike monomaniacs. The mother aoe have been well started to- ward lunacy before quitting Louisiana, where she was a voudou priestess — ber peo- ple; and the father may have been semi- idiotic before excitement unbalanced his weak inteliect, for ue was a very ignorant and superstitious native African. The woman dominated the family, and led them into a belief that some day deliverance would come to them miraculously. Her superstitious fancy conceived a chariot which would bring the conquerors oftheir enemies. That was the doctrine she taught them in, and around which she formulated a crude sort of religious worship. As time passed they aitiliated with a remnant of Arapahoe Indians. The Akenorth sons married Arapahoe squaws; and other sons and daughters born to the elder Akenorths also wedded with Arapahoes; until there was produced the Negro-Indian tribe which congregated below the waterfall when the white travelers emerged from the mountain. These mongrel people lodged in tepees, ate the beasts and fish of the moun- tains, and in many respecte lived like the aboriginal Indians; but their language became almost wholly that of the negroes, and old Chloe Akenorth queened it over them, with her weird witcheries brought from Louistana, and adapted to her hallucination of a forth- coming redemption by supernatural chariot- ers. “suck was the condition of the Akenorth- Arapahoes when, assembled inthe ravine for erlodical rites, they saw what they instantly believed wasthe expected chariot descend. They had never seen a railway car, and the shattered portion of a drawing-room coach was sufficiently fine and strange to them like a supernatural vehicle. raised the hymn of welcome, and her follow- ers sang it with reverent unction.

Barlo came last carrving the empty bag. „Was there anything valuable in it?’’ Er- wing asked. ‘‘T suppose not. Mrs. Erwing hastily in- terposed. No, Barlow added, it's of no conse- quence.’’ The Akenorths met them atthe foot of the declivity. Old Chloe was foremost. ‘*Bress de Lawd,’’ she cried, ‘‘yo’s kem et last. Yah’s de cha’yet whad fetcbed ye, ‘cordin’ to de promise. Bressde Lawd.’’ The visitors did not comprehend this re- ception, but they judiciously kept that fact to themselves, and it was not until the ensuin day that point by point and in the course o conversations they had acquired an under- standing of this isolated, mountain bound tribe of Negro-Indians. ‘*Yo’s kem to tell us we’se free, was one of Chloe’s declarations with just a perceptible tone of inquiry in it; ‘‘I know dat’sso, Mas’r —don’ tole me dat an’t so.’’ We can tell you that all the colored folks in the land are free, Erwing replied, ‘‘and that is the truth. The visitors were very hungry and tired. The sun sank out of sight, and twilight was falling. A hearty meal of coarse maize, small fish and rabbit meat, stewed together in an earthen dish over an open fire, was soon served to them. They ate with unfastidious relisb, and drank the clear water from the pool into which the thirty pounds of gold had dropped. Night brought clouds, but no moon, and the darkness was unrelſleved except bya ¢amp-fire. It was while sitting around the blazing logs for an hour after the supper that the Akenorths, and mainly Chloe, imparted the information that the tribe resorted to the ra- vine because ‘‘de Fire ob Promise’’ burned there. „„We was gwine to worship dis ebenin’,’’ she said; ‘‘an’ now we kin praise de Lawd ease de promise am kep’.’’ Tne place was not remote from that Yellow- stone Park which is one of the world’s wonders, with its boiling geysers and other phenomena of internal fires. On the hillside above the waterfall was a iow cone of rock, with an aperture only four inches in diameter, and to the surface arose through this volcanic hole a tongue of flame. A steady supply of natural gas fed it, anda draught sucked it up from far below, but the blaze never reached higher than the apex of the cone, although at night a red glow stood like a pillar of fire over the spot. The heat was intense. Birds were overcome in flying over it, and their bodies fell lifeless. The rock was red hot where it joined the vent. Around the Fire of Promise“ the Akenorths had dullt a roof- less enclosure of stone to make a temple, and atone end of the structure was a rough sitar on which stood a very ugly image of a god, or a devil, such as the Arapahoes anciently fash- ioned in pottery. It was only tweive inches high and it represented a squat figure, like those thatthe Aztecs of Mexico and the sav- ages of Alaska modeled in wood, clay and stone. Whatever may have been its original office in Indian religion it was by Chloe em- ployed in her voudou ceremonies in connec- tion with sacrifices atthe volcanic fire. But on this occasion nothing mystic or elab- orate was done. The old Negress conducted her people and the strangers to the temple, where she led the former in several chants and explained tothe latter that their arrival was the culmination and climax of the tribe's hopes. Mas er 12 * our delib' rer,“ she said, fixing upon the biggest man of the three as the chief of the party, ‘‘and de Gwantan shall be guy to him. Dat’s de law an’ dat’s de gospel. De Gwawtan he go to Mas r Erwing.’’ The ‘‘Gwantan’’ was the clay image, and the name she gave tot was doubtless derived from Arapahoe language. Sho said in effect that the thing had been embiematic of an ex- pectation of deliverance. Her mind was more superstitious than clear on the subject, but she was positive that the ‘‘Gwan- tan’’ must be given to Erwing and that thereupon the tribe would be free to go out from their corner of hiding into the world. So she made a rambling speech presenting the object to him, and he gravely accepted it, After the formality was over the visitors were escorted back to the ravine, where a tepee was allotted to them for the night. They were to sleep in their clothes on heaps of pine boughs covered by skins. While the arrangements were being made Mrs. Erwing contrived to talk privately with Tom Barlo about the gold in the pool. ‘*The water is 10 feet deep, so they’ ve told e,’’ he sald, ‘‘and the waterfall keeps it so isturbed that nobody can by any chanee see the bars where they lie. Now, I ad- vise you to let them stay there—they’ll be safe enough—till you can send me or someone else back tofish them out. That is, uniess you want to let your husband know—as he'd be sure to if we tried to tote the metal along. Remember, we've got to ride on ponies from here a matter of I don’t know now many miles—it may de a hundred, for we must go away around the mountain that we came Sireetiy through—and bhe’d be sure to discover the metal. Barlo’s advice wasso much like insistence that the woman was silenced. She was sure — quietly from the tepee. He looked cautiously about before rising to his feetin the open air, but nobody save himself was astir in the camp. He stole 100 yards away to the pool a the footof the waterfall. Then hetook o all his clothes and wentinto the water, tak- ing care to keep far enough from the fail it- self for safety. He was submerged half a minute or more and then he came up for breath. From his next trip to the bottom he returned laden with one of the ingots. A sec- ond was similarly recovered. The search for the third was longer and more arda- ous, but at the end of an hour, the thirty pounds of gold lay on the shore. Adaman dressed himself, took the metal in his arms and climbed with it up the hill tothe Fire of Promise. The voudouism of old Chloe seemed to outfit the temple with no su- perstitious terrors for him, but he was wary’ until convinced that no buman being was there. Of the ‘‘Gwantan’’ he showed no fear or aversion. He went to the image, and pulled it off the altar. Turning it — down, he smiled satisfiedly on ascertaining thatit was hollow. The ciay of its composi- tion was as hard as stone, and cumbroasly thick, but it had been originally modeled on a cone of wood, which had burned out in the baking, leaving an empty space with a smell aperture at the bottom. Adaman carried the piece of antique pot- tery to the vent of the Fire of Promise,’* an set it head downward thereon, like a miniature cupola over a Diast furnace. He watched the result with deep concern. Would the tremendous heat crack the image? No, it slowly red- dened and then became a dull white. It was a veritable crucible which the volcanic flame licked with its red tongue until, if the * — clay had been metal, it would have ligul an Then Adaman thrust the ingots one after another into the inverted im where they gradually became molten yold, for the soft, unalloyed metal did not long resist the fire. As soon as this was accomplished he cau- tiously pushed the idol off the fire-vent with a stick, but left it upside down until it and its contents were cooled sufficiently to permit him to set it in its aceustomed place on the altar. The ‘‘Gwantan’’ now bad @ —— lining, but the outside was unaltered. he man made his way back to his compan- ions,among whom Mrs. Erwing only was awake, and she fell asleep after acknowledg- ing with a smile his very dignified nod of as- surance. The sun was not up much eariier than the Akenorths next morning, butthe strangers were permitted to sleep as long as they would. Exhausted by both mental and pbysical stress, they slumbered soundly, and it was not until 9 o’clock that William Erwing emerged from the tepee. His companions were out soon afterwards. A breakfast was ready for them. It was so much like the previous night’s supper that only the time of eating it made the difference in name appro- priate. Old Chloe directed everythin that was done, and accompab!) her work with voluble talk. She mixed the adventures of the Akenorths with the rude service of the meal, and the most whimsical vagaries of her monomania with perfecti — arrangements for the departure er guests. Six ponies had already been a portioned by her to carry them to the rail- way. He knew the general direction which they ought totuke, and, venturing beyond their mountain refuge for the fret time, the little tribe was to escort them apart of the way. But why provide six ponies to carry five of us? Erwing asked. Dat s one fo’ one all roun'“, Chloe e- plained, an' one fo’ de ‘Gwantan’.’* ~ Are we to take the image away? ° **’Cordin’ to de law an’ de promise, yo"s to hab de ‘Gwantan.’ Ef yo’ dn’ take ft de Lawd knows we wouldn’ dar’ go way heah. ‘Sides, chile, dar’s a heap o luck in a ‘Gwantan,’ deed dar am—an’ I guvs it all vo“.

New York’s more than half mill- ion dollars sent to the sufferers at Johns- town and Chicago’s liberal minus quan- tity sent to the same place is not putin evidence, as it should be, to help out Chicago’s claim for spontaneous and un- selfish liberality. ö CLEVELAND, O., the home of the Stand- ard Oil Trust, has sixty-three millionaires —more than any citv of its size in the world. Of these ROCKEFELLER’s income is estimated at $9,000,000 a year and FLAG- LER’S at $3,000,000. The advocates of trusts tell us that the Standard Oil Trust has reduced the price of oil to consumers from 61 to 7 cents agallon. But oil had been reduced in price by copious produc- tion tos cents before the trust was or- ganized to control the trade and check the rapid decline. — 2 — pee THE authorities of Mississippi are hit ting at the right man when they place on trial the Sheriff of Marion County for failure to do his duty in the Sullivan-Kil- rain fight. It is claimed that there is evi- dence that he accepted a bribe. It was through his cowardice or corruption that the fight took place in Mississippi and the plans of Gov. Lowry to prevent it were defeated. Whether it was due to coward- ice or bribery should be definitely settled and the Sheriff should be promptly thrown out of the office he disgraces. — Ir has become fashionable with some swell-head politicians to treat the news- papers, to which most of their success and prominence is due, with contempt. Mr. BLAINE refuses to say anything to report- ers about his health, and sneeringly re- marks that the newspapers can publish what they please concerning it. Senator CAMERON, in denying that he intends to retire*from publio life, remarks contempt- | wously that when. he decides to do so he „eu not PA} im 8 at * x * 1 he. 884 4 2 a 8 * 1 ; — ee ee minds, aud they would find that if the press should neglect to mention them the public would quickly forget that they exist. e Ir is all right for Civil Service Com- missioner Roosxvxrr to disregard the wishes of the party leaders in recom- mending New Yorkers for office. But if it is true, as they charge, that he is using his pull on the administration to pay off his personal obligations to political workers in hisown Assembly district by. securing appointments for them, he*must be trying to show how neatly he can com-; bine the work of a political boss with that of a Crvil Service Commissioner and the spoils system with sublimated civil ser- vice reform. —, — Jupox Turky of Chicago the other day granted a change of venue to a gravel company, one member of which made affidavit to a belief that the Judge would not give the company a fair hearing. But assoon as his honor had granted the change of venue, he swore out a warrant for the arrest of the affidavit maker on a charge of perjury and will try to make him show the ground on which his pre- tended belief was based. Judge TULEY is evidently tired of being insulted every day with affidavits which in nine cases out of ten are sworn to merely for the sake of delaying trials. — —— — — THE Coroner’s verdict, holding the members of the South Fork Club re- sponsible for the immense amount of damages inflicted in the Conemaugh Val- ley by the breaking of their dam, may easily result in suits that will bankrupt the club, But the individual property of its wealthy mémbers cannot be taken for the club’s liabilities. The members of a corporation are not pecuniarily responsi- ble for its liabilities beyond the value of their shares in its property and assets. It is itself a civil person, and there is no process of law yet provided for by which other persons can be criminally punished for its defaults or crimes. ANTHONY HiGGI1ns, the new Republican Senator from Delaware, bids fair to bea worse thorn in the side of civil service re- form under HARRISON’s administration than the Maryland HIGGINS was under CLEVELAND’S. Already he has secured two appointments both of which are de- nounced as disgraceful by the Wilming- ton News, the leading Republican paper of Delaware. Having demanded and ob- tained the position of First Auditor of the Treasury for a man who was driven from the bench of the District of Columbia as a judicial tool of the District ring, Sena- tor HIGGINS has also obtained a fat place for the man who is charged with raising the money that bought the Senatorship for HigGrns. As Mr. HARRISON is running a Reimbursement administration, he is bound to honor such drafts on the ap- pointing power, maugre all his civil ser- vice pledges. 1 The Pension Raid. From the Philesdelphla Times. The administration cannot be insensible of the fact that Commissioner Tanner’s reckless, lawless and profligate administration of the Pension Office is already a stench in the nos- trils of the whole country and specially of- fensive aud bumillating to every true soldier in the land. Even if there shall be no new pen- sion laws enacted by the next Congress the ap- propriation for pensions, under the ruling of Commissioner Tanner,must be increased from $25,000,000 to $40,000,000 a year; and instead of the gradual diminution of pensions that would be logical nearly a quarter of a century alter the close of the war, the present year will have the largest pension roll and the largest expenditure of our history. The pension roll and the pending applications are larger in number than the entire list of soldiers of the Union one year or more in service during the whole war. It should be remembered that our payments fur pensions now are larger than tbe entire cost of the large standing army of Germany, including its pensions, and is certain to be increased in alarming proportion unless the administration shall promptly and imperatively call a halt upon Com missioner Tanner. The Way of the Nepotist. From the Philadelphia Record. No less heartily than the people despise the nepotist, It would seem, does be scorn the af- fectation of honest sentiment that would pre- sume to,hold him in check. Only on this hy- pothesis, indeed, can the injection of Corpo- rai Tanner’s daughter into the Pension Bu- reau, the more recent appointment by Com- missioner of Indian Affairs Thomas J. Mor- gan of his own wife as his Secretary, and the naming as Special Indian Agent of the wife of Dr. Dorchester, Superintendent of Indian Schools, be adequately accounted for. But thatthe feminine appointees should be the wives, daughters, nieces and what not of the powers that be can scarcely fail to worry the earnest party workers who as yet have failed to get their noses within the public crib, Truly, public office in these days isa private — very private—snap. THE PEOrVLE’'S FORUM, Voters and Voters, To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The calling of a meeting in the Seventeenth Ward by Delegate Egan to listen to the argu- ments pro and con made by the property owners upon the question of elevated rail- roads, and the Scott bill in particular, is rais- Ing quite a sensation and discussion. The question seems to be agitating the great ma- jority of voters who don't happen to be lords of the soll and tenement house, but who have a coming interest In the growth and prosperity of the city. It seems somewhat doubtful whether Mr. Egan includes the latter cluss of voters in his call, for he says: I, Mr. Egan, will listen to the prominent property owners and then take a vote on their action,’’ and } Said action will decide the action of Mr. Egan. Now itseems to be the general opinion that this genti¢man proposes to disfranchise about two-thirds or the voters of the Seventeenth Ward in bis little meeting—if our suspicions de true.

Mr. Shea, who isastalwart Irish- man with bushy red galways, freely acknowl- edged that the passages of himself and son were paid by the poor authorities, and that £3 in English money had been given him for traveling expenses. Shea’s glory is that he lived in the town of Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, and was a la- borer in a stone quarry. Wages in the best of times, he gays, were not more than s shillings per day, ana before leaving he earned less than 1 shilling. He had hardly money at times, as he expressed it, ‘‘to buy a ha’penny doock’’ (duck), and there were hundreds around him worse off. Several farmers were evicted. Shea’s wife died a year ago, and he was without money to pay house rent or sup- port his children. 4 CHANCE TO EMIGRATE. One day his son John, who isa bright little chap, came home with the news that circulars were being distributed around the place to the effect that a Mr. French would send away any destitute families who desired to go to America. Shea said he understood that French acted as the agent of Mr. Crossly, one of the chief landlords of County Kerry. He also heard that Crossly was the right-hand man of Col. Spades, a member of the British Army and acting as an agent of the British Government in Ireland. The Colonel, he said, was stationed in County Kerry some time be- fore aud was actively engaged in the work of shipping poor people out of the country. Col. Spades’ title was Head Inspector. Shea could not tell the particular Government depart- ment he worked under, Dut it is supposed that he is under the Board of Poor Guardians, who have before been heard of in ridding Ireland of her paupers by sending them to America. Mr. Shea applied to Mr. French, and tickets for himselfiand son were furnished at once. He had already received money for Mary’s passage from his sister, Johanna Shea, who lives at No. 393 Putnam avenue, Brook- lyn. Mr. French also gave him adraft for £3 on Henderson Bros., agents for the Anchor Line in this city. This was with the under- standing that Shea was to return the money, together with the ticket Money, as soon as he earned enough in this country todo so. Col. Spades, Shea said, had been furnished witha sum to be paid out for tickets, and all of tho families sent over would have to agree to re- turn their passage money and other funds fur- nished on the same terme as Shea had. It is supposed that the 260 families will inciude no less than 1 thousand people and probably more. Shea said he had never been an inmate of any alms- house or prison and he came here to look for work. Besides his sister Johanna, in Brooklyn, he has two nephews, John and Michael Shea, who live in Vermillion County, III. Shea and his children were detained and will probably ae Saas back to Ireland when the City of Rome sails. ANXIOUS TO LEAVE IRELAND. Mr. Shea asserted that there were any num- ber of poor peopie in County Kerry who would snap at the cnance offered of coming to America. The evicted tarmers especially are anxious to come, as they feel that thelr condition cannot possibly be worse, and from the pictures drawn of free America they think there is a lively chance of bettering themselves. When turned away from their farms there is nothing for them to do except to labor, and asthe labor market is already more thun stocked with men willing to work tora bare pittance the evicted farm- ers rarely fina 9 to do. Nothing is left excopt to enter the Poor-house with their families, and this the landlords do not relish, as they must then support the people they have cast forth upon the world. ence Land- lord Crossly’s lively interest in sending the evicted ones to America through the poor guardians, and hence also the willingness of poverty-stricken tenants to accept the only appurent means of solving the problem of **how to live.’’ The quarries in Kerry, Shea said, are acarcely worked atalland the men are paid scarcely enough to keep the breath of life in them. Ifthey have families itis next to an impossibility to support them. Anotherreason for driving so many away is that rich land holders are turning their land into pasture. Ihe poor Irish families are thus deprived ofa chance to turn them to account, the amount of tilted land being sosmail as not to yield sufficient revenue for rents and living ex- penses. Itissaid notonly in County Kerry, but in other parts of Ireland as well, the work of collecting and sending away the poor of various counties goes steadily on, It is done openly. Ihe poor authorities advertise free rates to America, A DUMPING GROUND FOR CRIMINALS. In London the Prisoners’ Aid Society is doing a similar work for ex crimina!s, al- though not so openly, A number of com- panies of ex-convicts have already been re- turned and some of these have been as promptly sent over again under assumed names, landing sometimes in New York and at other timesin Philadelphia. Among those returned werea number of young men who practically had contracts with a cuntractor at Seguin, Tex., to work for the Southern Pa- cific Rallway. A number of them came back a second time on tne Edam on her last trip. Thus is the United States made a dumping ground for Europe's un- desirable poor and criminai classes. Com missioner Stephenson, who was at Castle Gurden when the Sueas arrived, said it was a fair sample of the way poor peopice were being shipped to the United States in ar- der to relieve their native governments of the burden oftheirsupport. Some time ago an advertisement appeared in an Irish paper in which the poor guardians openly offered to send poor people over to America. Shea said a number bad been sent away be- fore he started, and thatthe others would be sentin small companies. He spoke with a rich brogue, and seemed much presttallen at being detained. The Castle Garden authori- ties will keep a sharp lookout for the others who are likely to follow. ° 9 Graphic description of Hunting a Tiger. this dangerous sport in Cochin-China by our corespondent.

SHE BEAT THE RECORD, ing center The Determined Attempts of Miss Ida Mo- Cormick to Commit Suicide. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. ROCHESTER, N. V., July 20.—Two attempts at suicide within half an hour is Miss Ida Mo- Cormick’s record, made in the volice station early this morning. She is doubtiess the most desperate female prisoner with whom the police authorities of this city have ever had to deal, She had been arrested repeatedly for street-walking, and each time she has been locked up she has made persistent attempts to end her life. She has made a dozen at- tempts in a single herself in ber oel. 0 yesterday Patrolman Schwartz arrested her on Central avenue. She had scarcely been lodged in jail when she attempted to hang ber- self to the door with ber handkerchief. She was cut down and promisea to behave her- self. The turnkeyand matron were out of her sight for a few moments when Ada set fire to her clothing, screaming at the top of her voice as the flames spread rapidly and began eating their way into the flesh. The cell door was thrown open and Ada rushed out, her clothes biazing about her. Capt. Keith, Detective Lynch and Turnkey Strudel bastened to throw water upon the unfortunate woman, and after a time the flames were extinguished. Ada was placed on astretcher and taken to the City Hospital. She was terribly burned about the lower part ot the body. She groaned, and said over and over, God, forgive me; I done myself up this time. She had deliberately applied a match to her underclothing in her mad determination to make an end to herself. The police officers say she has attempted suicide a hundred times, and with no sham about the attempts, either. She is lying in the City Hospital in a precarious condition, but the doctors think to-night she will recover. Confession of the The Burglar Queen. heroine of forty robberies.

Py Telegranh fo the Posv-Dtsr Aron. ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y., July 20.—Alexan- dria Bay was the scene last evening of one of the most disgraceful if not fatal proceedings that has taken place on the banks of the St, Lawrence in years. About 11 o’clock when most of the inhabitants were sleeping peace- fully the reports of fire arms, the clashing of clubs and cries of distress were heard. Im- mediately hundreds flocked to the place of disturbance and saw a small riot in full prog- ress. Men with pleces of gas pipes, iron and various other articles were fight- ing vigorously. The police last succeeded in quelling the mob but not until several persons were badly injured. It appears that one Glad, who is a notorious tough, entered Flack’s saloon on the night previous and had made himself so obnoxious to some of the colored waiters at the Thou- sand Island House that they put him out of the piace. The next evening Glad having gath- ered together about fifteen of his friends went to Flack’s place, where the colored men had again met, and ejected them from the place. After arming themselves with sund weapons they proceeded down the street an met their enemies in front of the saloon where the fight took piace. Already thirteen arrests have been made. A. ohanna, who was badly injured about the head, is in a critical condition. The Jehn Day Smith Law.

The South Side Citizens Glad That Chair man Carlisle of the Pemocratie Central Committee Has Deciared for No Politics in the lection and Hope the Bepub- lican Committee Will Take the Same View. When some of the members of the Demo- cratic Central Committee called upon Chair- map Carlisie about a week or so ago with the request that be call a meeting of the commit- tee for the purp se of making arrangements for the next election of school directors in October, Mr. Carlisle said that he was not in favor of the committee taking up the subject, for the reason that in his opinion politics should have no place in schoo! affairs. „That politics be kept out of the next school election is just what we want,“ said a South Side citizen this morning. There was no politics in the last election because there was a prince ple involved—that was whether German should be continued Inthe schools or not. Settle- ment on that question entirely overshadowed political feeling, and there will be an issue in the coming election which will have the same effect. The issue I refer to ig whether the an- nual schoo! picnic holiday isto be abandoned or not. The present board, despite the almoat unanimous sentiment on the South Side, de- cided in the spring to abandon the custom of granting a holiday for such 4 purpose. The south Side citigens, as all know, madea vigorous fight against the board’s action, but all efforts to secure a reconsideration were futile. When the board refused positively to retreat from the stand it had taken in this matter a number of the school district picnic committees ac- quiesced to the board’s authority, but the board’s action did not change their sentiment on the subject. Several of the South Side school picnic committees which had already arranged dates for their school Pienics refused, however, to submit to the board’s decree and held their picnics in spite of the board’s refusal to grant them ajholiday. The picnics given by the Lyon, Chariess and Shepherd Schools in deflance of the board's order furnished good evidence of the sentiment of the children’s parents upon this subject. These picnics, as every one knows who attended them, were as large as any ever given by these schools, not a hun- dred scholars being left in any one of the school houses which I have named on the da on which their school picnic was given. A every one of these picnics the OPINION OF THE CITIZENS on the School Board’saction was freely ex- pressed and it was tacitiy agreed that every candidate for School Director from a South Side district, or at large, must declare himself openly on the subject of school picnics. If he is ae to a N being granted an- nually for this purpose then those who are in favor of the old custom will vote against him, and anyone who has sounded the sentiment oof the South Side people on the subject knows what that means. It means defeat. We propose to elect no candi- date from a South Side district whose vote we cannot count on when this question is brought up again next spring. Thereis no organized movement to this end as yet, and in all prob- ability will not be, but there is a thorough un- derstanding, and that is sufficient. Those members of the present board who Opposed the grant of a holiday for school icnics will have an especiaily hard row to oe on the South Side. The reason is because of their meanness in taking the stand which they did in regard to school pic- nics after several of the school committees had arranged their dates and begun tbeir reparations for the day. They should at easthave been considerate enough to give timely warning of their intention. Another thing,which we will hoid against the present members, andthat is their action in depriv- ing us of what we asked when at the same time they granted holidays spreading over several weeks in order to allow the children to attend the Exposition. The board said to us, you can hold your picnics on Saturdays if you want, but they did not say tothe managers of the Exposition: ‘Gentlemen, if you really want the children to attend the great Exposi- tion letthem go on Saturdays.’ No, they did’nt say that to them and why? Because the Exposition managers did not want it that way. No more did we want to have our picnics on Saturdays for various and good. reasons. But our protests were unheeded. es, concluded the South Side citizen, e are glad on the South Side to learn that Chairman Carlisle ofthe Democratic Central Committee does not think that politics should figure in the coming election for school directors and we hope that the Republican City Central Committee will entertain the same views. We don’t want any politics inthe comirg contest, we have —— issue which overshadows political distinc- tion. THE OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. If it be true that the picnic question is to be made the principal issue in the coming school election—and to anyone who attended the pic- nic of the rebellious schools on the South Side this year there can be no doubt that it will cut considerable figure—the ensuing c»mpaizn willbe as interesting as any ever held, with the probable exception of that of last year when the abolition of German in the schools was the great issue on which the battle was fought. There are a great many people who believe that the school picnics, especially as they are conducted at present, have a demor- alizing effect on the children, and, moreover, believe that enough holidays are granted in the ear without giving one for a schoo icnic which the think could just as well be held on Saturday or after the school closes. Holding these views they stood by the board when it pronounced against beara holidays, andif thisis to be made the ssue in the coming election there will be a great many citizens who will vote for Presi- dent Judson, and those who voted with him on this question, in case uae | are candidates for re-election, simply ecause of the position Mr. Judson and bis supporters took on the plcnic question. There are a number also, who though they held opposite views from the majority of the board, believe that the beard’s authority should have been respected, and consequently will vote against the wishes of those who openly defied it. Of the members at large of the present board President Frederick W. Judson, Archie Graham and John Loler will go out in October. The terms of tae fol- lowing district directors will also expire: Joba Parie, First District, comprisin First and Third Wards; Jacob Kaiser, Thi District, comprising Fifth and Seventh Wards; Charies E. Bauer, Fourth District, comprising Sixth and Twelfth Wards; John Sheahan, Fifth District, comprising Eighth and Tenth Wards; Wm. Koenig, Sixth District, com- or Ninth and Twenty-third Wards; P.

Fright of the Mulcahy Family at the Re- ceipt of Anonymous Notes. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPraTcu. MONTREAL, July 20.—More terror was ers- ated in the Mulcahy household this morning by the receipt of still another anonymous let- ter, this time in fairly readable manuscript, but evidently discuised. It contained more than a hint that Mary Mulcaby-Husson’s hus- band had been dosed, and it conveyed a direet threat that she would be served in the same way ifthe police were not immediately called off and the attempt to discover the alleged conspirators at once ended. At the bottom of the letter was a rude drawing of a coffin. The letter was at once in the hands of Judge . vestigation at the Post-office proved that the letter had been posted at the Central office between 5and6o0’clock this morning but of course this gives no ciew to the writer. The Muicahy family is almost prostrated with worry and freight at the repeated threats and nota member ofthe bousehold will venture outside of the doors. Safety chains have been fixed to all the doors and windows and Mrs. Husson will actually leave the city in the morning for a secret destination which will be closely guarded, her mother deeming her no longer safe in Montreal.

Short Crops Bring About Soaffering in the Canadian Northwest, GRAFTON, Dak., July 2.—Crops in the Canadian Northwest and along the Dakota line are in bad shape. Farmers are almost destitute and some instances are reported where they are subsisting on field mice and gophers. In the Canadian Northwest proper the crops are nil. A party of emigrants from the Souris country were met Thursday at the boundary line. They had traveled 300 miles through a well-settied country on the Canad- lan side without seeing a fair crop and say 54 —— many settlers are leaving their land to rive their cattle to timbered couatry on this side. Some fangilies looked famine-strioken and had eaten nothing but potatoes and tur- nips lor some months. They were icted with scurvy and were sacrificing themselves to save their cattie.

Joyce revealed the fact that Miss Vers Hawkins of Jackson, Mich., was masquerading in male attire. And queer attire it was, Hanging loosely about the slight form was a suit of brown clothing, the coat buttoned close about the neck. On a No. 2 toot was a No.5 brogan, while a broad-brimmed straw bat was perched auntlly on a close cropped head. Her dentity discovered, the round little face grew crimson, the brim of the hat was pulled over a pretty pair of biue eyes and the little traveler gave way to her feel- ings. It was for but a moment, however, and she soon conquered the rebvllious tears. Mrs. Harris, the motherly matron of the Four Courts, soon had her in oharge and the brown guit was replaced by a cool wrapper, just as much too large. hen the child told her story She said, blushing prettily at the sigut ofthe reporter, that she was 18 years oldand had for two years past made her home in Jackson, Mich. „My sister could not very well afford to support me any longer and I made up my mind to go to my motherin Dallas, Tex. You see, my father is sick in the Soldiers’ Home, and my mother has to earn her own living. My sister had nomoneytopay my fare, sol dressed myself up ina suit belonging to her boy, a lad of 16 years, and started out. I had just $1.25 in my pocket. On Tuesday evening I walked out the Fort Wayne track six miles and staid with a farmer overnight. The next morning I went ‘on to Horton, four miles beyond, and took the traip for Fort dag Saye itold the conductor mv situation when he came around, and he let me ride to the end of his run. At Fort Wayne I bought a ticket out a few miles, and when the conductor took it I told my story a second time, and he car- ried mo threusn to Muncie. I adopted the same tactics all along the road oing from Muncie to Indianapolis, then to erre Haute, then to Evansville and finally to Mt. Vernon. AllthistimeI had been riding on passenger trains. I ran across a freight conductor at Mt. Vernon, however, and came through to St. Louls in his caboose. When I first arrived Ilooked- around the city for a while and went back to the depot at 8 o’clock. I saw by the board that a ticket to Jefierson Barracks was only 30 cents; so I bought one, intending to throw myself on the gen- erosity of the conductor at that point. Just asIwas about to step on board that borrid policeman stopped me and here Lam. I would have gone to Dallas allright if he had let me alone. Lots of officers 41 me along the road, but let me go when Itold them how it was that I was dressed that way. I 2ould never get along bampered by dresses and ekirtsif Thad been forced to walk to Dallas, and I would have walked if I could not do any better.’’ The girl is small in stature but big enough to take care of herself, it seems. Under any cir- cumstances her independence and spirit of de- termination areto be admired. rs. Harris will place her in the Episcopal Home until she hears from Dallas, and willthen send Miss Vera on her way re- joicing—provided a genereus public will pro- vide the means. The little traveler had but $1.25 when she started on her long journey. Think of it! Now she has over §2, a couple of enerous conductors having helped her along u more than one way. A numberof public- spirited ladies have promised to provide her witha wardrobe. The case is a deserving one, although the girl would much prefer to work for what she gets, and said so when spoken to in regard to the matter. Go TO John E. Mulford, broker, 206 N. Third st.

Kiely and Officers Shaw and Collins, who happened to be in that immediate vicinity. Hardly bad the body touched tne sidewalk when the face and arm of a man appeared at the same win- rostrate form below and two shots rang out in quick succession upon the night air. Rushing to the house, the officer burst in the door only to see a slender young man seat himselt on the bed and put a dall into his abdomen, falling back unconscious and fatally wounded, 0 woman was Miss Lillie Davis, acyprian, while her assailant was known to the St. Louis sporting fraternity as James T. Dailey, a bookmaker, In a few seconds an immense crowd had gathered in the streets and the body ofthe woman was picked up from the gutter and taken to an adjacent drug store, The ambulance arriving afew minutes later, both were taken to the City Dispensary. Dailey was found to be fatally hurt. The self- inflicted wound was through his abdomen aud bis lite blood gushed forth in torrents, The woman, too, was unconscious, but not dangeronusiy wounded. A bullet wound in the fleshy part of her left arm looked ghastiy, while her whole left side was bruised and bleeding, the left ankle being badly broken from the fall. Dalley was sent to the hospital and at the request of her friends the Davis woman was conveyed to her room in the house of Mamie Adair on Chest- nut street, near Thirteenth, THE AFFRAY was one of well planned murder and suicide. 8 who came to this city some eight months ago from Louisville, Ky., was infat- uated with the woman.

She refused, they quar- reled and he caused her arrest. This was several days ago. The police could do notb- ing in the case and the Davis woman was re- leased, Yesterday Dailey called at the Chest- nut street house and rang the bell. No atten- tion was paid to him and he soon went away. He then sent a number ot notes to the girl esking to see her. About 7 o’clock in the evening she consented to talk to him and Dailey sent a carriage around to take her to his room at 703 Pine street. She went. Hardly haa she entered the room when the infuriated man drew a revolver {from his pocket, selze d Miss Davis by the arm, and with the words, „We will die together, opened fire. The shot struck his victim m the arm, but before he could shoot a second time she had wrenched herself loose and fled toward the window, in her fright hurling herself head foremost to the street. The rest of the agedy has been told. The woman will recover. Dailey died about noon to-day at the City Hospital, never rally- ing from the sbock consequent upon the wound inflicted by his own hand.

Hogan Reported to Have Landed All Right ou Long Island. JACKSON, Mich., July 20.—Though nothing definite has been heard of Prof. Ed Hogan, there are many rumors rife that the daring have been received by Campbell from Hogan, sent from Gattlesburg, a village on Long Island, nearly 100 miles from New York, stat- ing in effeet that he landed within a mile of the village at about 10 p. m. Tuesday, coming down directly underneath the settling air-ship. He was nearly with asphyxia, and would have but for his 1 of mind in cutting his way through the canvas monster. More dead than alive, he reached a village and was cared for by the good people. came unconscious from exhaustion and hun- ker and no one knew who he was until Wednesday noon, when the air ship was found and Hogan had regained consciousness. It occurreé to Hogan at this juncture to keep quiet and give the pewspapers a chance to throw themselves, which they did, as it proved. The Air Ship Inventor. By Telegraph to the Post-DIspaTcn. BROOKLYN, N. I., July 20.—Prof. Campbell, the inventor of the air ship, called at the Six- teenth Preciuct Station-house yesterday and was given the wheel which had fallen from theship the dayof the ascension from the Nassau Gas Works. Hevalued it at $5, and left a receipt for that amount with the Ser- eant at the desk. In conversation regarding *’rof. Hogan, the aeronaut who embarked withthe vessel, he said: ‘‘If the man had been drowned his body would have been found at sea before this. He hada life pre- server sufficiently large to buoy up three men, and if he had found himself being overcome by the gas he would have adjusted it on his body. I have confidence in Hogan. I believe he is all right. I have another air ship in New York, and ifanything should have happened to the daring aeronaut I don’t know where I will procure the services of another. I think the propeller was taken from the bottom of the car by Mr. Hogan, as it was found to be unmanageabie.’’ Narrow Escape From Death. Sr. THOMAS, Ont., July 20.—William Hogan, of Jackson, brother of E. D. Hogan, missing aeronaut, madea balloon ascension here at 6:30 last evening, going 4,000 feet high, and had a narrow escape from death. The top guy-rope ofthe balloon became fastened to the parachute, and it was not until the balloon had reached within 900 feet of the ground in its descent that the aeronaut was able to shake the rope off. He had jumped before making the discovery. The Dalioon would have turned over upon the parachute, driving itto the ground, and instant death would have been the result. Hogan alighted upon a stone, breaking two ribs and was dragged fifty feet, bruising his side and shoulder. He left this morning for Jackson. ? —Another instalment of WII Blin d Love. kie Collins’ great and proba- bly last novel. See to-morrow’s SUNDAY PosT- DISPATCH. LABOR TROUBLES, Six Hundred Men Out at West Superior— Rioting Feared. By Telegranvh to the PFosr-Disrarcn. WEsT SUPERIOR, Wis., July 20.—A general strike was inaugurated yesterday among the laborers and over 600 are out. They demand an increase from $1.50 per day to $1.75. They visited the St. Paul & Pacific’s coal dock, where fourteen men were working at the 40-cents-an-hour rate under police protection. ‘They overpowered the police and routed the men. The strike hasan ugiy look, as the men are determined and the contractors equally so. The St. Paul & Pacific and the Northwestern Fuel Co. refuse to meet the con- cession made by the Lehigh to the eoal-heav- ers of 40 cents an hour. They claim they can hire men at 40 cents, and propose to do so, One of the leaders has been arrested. A com- pany of State militia has been ordered to the scene of trouble. An Outbreak Expected. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 20.—The Journal’s West Superior (Wis.) special says: Every- thing is quiet among the strikers here, but the officials are expecting an outbreak. Last night a gang of strikers overpowered the sheriff and police and foreed a large number of coal dock employes to threwup their jobs. Six of the mob leaders were arrested. Mayor McRay telegraphed Gov. Hoard last nijcht asking that troops be sent here. In response a company from Eau Claire arrived at9 a. m. to day under Gen. Griffin. No action has yet been taken towards settling the strike. Murderous Sailors. OBWEGO, N. I., July 20.—Yesterday at Pu- laski was finished the trial of Andrew Hageny, William Putnam and Michael Donovan, union sailors, charged with a murderous assault upon Jesse Josephs, mate of the schooner John Scheutte of Toledo at the dock in this port on the night of April 26. Josephs was dragged a mile into the suburbs, pounded with belaying pins and thrown into the cellar of a burned house. He managed to crawi to an adjoining house. The jury came in at 3 O clock with a verdict of guilty of assault in the second degree and recommended Putnam tomercy. There was no evidence that Put- nam, although present; struck Josephs. The same three, with four other sailors, are also to be tried for coercion and conspiracy in forcing the crew of the Scheutte, who were scabs, to leave her. D. M. Frost’s Ctiarges. Mayor Noonan had another interview with D. M. Frost this morning concerning the charges against Joseph Temple, Assessor and Collector of Water Rates. Mr. Frost protested strongly against the Mayor’s refusal to inves- tigate the matter, but the Mayor said he could not do so unless the charges were placed in proper form, as it would be a bad 1 as charges and complaints of all inds would be sentin by many irresponsible people. So the matter is in the same state as yesterday. Kuights and Ladies of Honor. Seymour Lodge, No. 1854, K. and L. of H., never fails to have an entertaining programme on the carpet. Last meeting night, after the initiation of five applicauts, the lodge, pur- suant to instruction from Grand Protector Cochran, proceeded to second the election of representative to the Grand Lodge, resulting in the election (as n of John C.

Ma., July 20.—President Muller of the Corn and Flour Exchange this morning Tendo a committee which later reported the following resolution which was uwnani- mously adopted by the members of the Oorn and Flour Exchange in general meéting as- semblied: Resolved, That we earnestly and indignant- ly protest against the action of the railroad companies terminating herein restoring the rate op wheat to the basis of 260 per 100 from Chicago to New York because of jes vicious et- ,fect upon our trade, which becomes more and more noticeable each day and with the low rates how current via the water routes is sim- ply probidisory, and we call upon our com- panies to protect the interest of our city in — — 4 manner practicable by continuing the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo. overcome ! died He immediately be- —— — — — — | NEw Tonk, July 20. — The continued decline in the bonds of the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo Railroad, which was accelerated yesterday and to-day, led bondholders to pre- pare for the worst, and atthe close of busl - ness to-day their worst fears were re- alized, It was then announced that the company would have to default on the interest on the 5 per cent bonds due September], amounting to $200,000, and a re- ceiver will then be appointed. The interest due August 1, amounting to about $40,000, will be paid. John W. Shaw, President of the company, said: The business of the road has fallen off and it will be necessary to de- on September 1, the 5 per cent The interest then due amounts to $200,000. Last year there were ten furnaces open in the valley while this year there is not ous. When default is made September 1, a receivership is likely to follow and while the poor business in a general way makes defauit a necessity, it Is less 1 in ita bearing than the fact that tho old management issued $8,000,000 which the road never got a dollar for and which the company is now expected to pay interest on. These are the bonds on which default will be made.’’ President Shaw intimated also that the bondholders would be compelled to prove their rights in court. Stevenson Burke, who is now in this city, was President of the road prior to Shaw, and is believed to be a heavy bolder ofthe bonds. He recently won a suit brought by President Shaw, who declared the issue of bonds illegal and tried to force Judge Burke to make restitution, but arbitrators, to whom the case was submitted, decided against Shaw on every point. Jeftery Resigns. CHICAGO, July 20.—Alocal paper says: It Das just been learned that Mr. E. T. Jeffery has tendered his resignation as General Man- ager of the lllinois Central Railroad Co. The resignation was forwarded to President Stuy- vesant Fish before the latter’s departure for Europe in the early part of the present month. From what can be learned no action has yet been taken on Mr. Jeffery’s resignation and it is probable that nothing definite regarding it will be done until Mr. Fish’s return from ‘eu: rope next October. It is said that the relations between Mr. Jef- fery and President Fish have Decn somewhat strained for sume time, N on account ofthe interference of Vice-President Harri- man with the management of the trafiic affairs ofthe company, President Fish backing up the latter in what Mr. Jeffery considered the usurpation of the General Manager's duties. Mr. E. T. Jettery, General Manager of the Illinois Central Railroad, was asked to-day if the published statement that he had resigned that position was true. He replied that it was; that President Fish now has it in his hands and that it is to take effect in October next. Mr. Jeffery declares that his retire- ment is due to a desire to get out of the har- ness which he has borne for nearly thirty years without intermission. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES, Mrs. John A.

An Important Patent. CHICAGO, July 20.—A firm in this city, en- gaged in the manufacture of tin cans and japanned ware, has patented an invention which competent judges say, will revolution- ize the iron and stee! industry of the world, Patents have been secured in the leading countries of the world. It is in brief a process by whieh molten metal may be rolled into any desired shape, thus sav ng all interme- diate processes. It was invented originally to roll molten solder into tin lates, but the process is pronounced y experts to be equally applicable to iron and steel in its various forms of plates, structural and rails. It is believed that the cost of manufacturing steel railscan be reduced to the extent of $0 per ton, and that thin iron plates for tinning can be made much below the cost of roduction of tin plates in Wales, thus making a new industry in this country. The molten metal is passed between rollers which is chilled as it passes, the rollers being keptcool by astream of water which passes through them. Another advantages that iron and steel so rolled will be much more even and closer in texture than that made by present methods, being free from the air holes which result from the intermediate processes.

New YORK, July 20.—Special telegrams to Bradstreet's report no material increase in the volume of general trade. In a few lines at several cities slight gains are noted, but an average demand and moderate distribution appearto bethe rule. At Kansas City the volume of trade is rather below that of a week ago. Leather is quiet and hides are dull at Boston. The weather in Louisiana and Texas has helped the crops, and rice in the former State promises much better than a month ago. Later advices from the Northwest are not as discouraging as to the wheat prospects as earlier in the week. Prices of hogs at Western markets are lower on heavy receipts and cattie, all but best grades, are 100 lower. An unusually large number of cattle are to be exported within the next three or four months, and nearly all the requisite room on Glasgow and Liverpool steamers has beenengaged. The cause is the low price bere and the sbortage of the European cattle crop. At New York, groceries, dry goods, country produce, naval stores, boots and shoes (manufacturers), and paper are more active. As intimated in these columns, on June 29, the New York and New Jersey brickmakers have agreed to stop work on September 30 until next season, providing 80 per cent of the capacity agree. Stock specujation at New York is dull and prices are subject to depression by bear manipuiation ofan apparantty limited char- acter. Bonds are dull with some depression in speculative Issues. The New York money market is easy for call loans with a sensitive undertone. Call loans are 3@3% per cent. Foreign exchange ies easy for sterling and higher for francs. Demand sterling $4.87%@ 4.4%. On Friday $3,000,000 gold was engaged for shipment to France. Exceptional interest attacbes to the exbibit of net railroad earnings for May and for five months. For May the companies show a gain of 13.2 per cent In net, against 6.6 per cent in gross. Forfive months the net increase is 10.7 per cent, against 549 per cent in gross. Reported increased sbortages of wheat in Russia, Germany, Austria-Hungary and India, in Dakota and Manitoba, hardening markets abroad, delayed deliveries of domestic new crop and buli manipulation at the West stimnu- lated speculation and prices advanced (0 to Sac. The reaction (West) and increased of- ferings at seaboard cut prices Ihe. Late do- mnestic wheat crop reports are less damaging than those issued early in the week. Fiour of preferred brands has heid its oon. Corn has been igc higher. Wheat gains ie on the week and corn ee. Exports of wheat and four as wheat from both coasts acgre gate 1,460, 202 bushels, against 1.558.055 bushels last week, ahd 1.462, 0% bushels in the third week of July, 1988. Nearly 575,000 busnels of wheat (and flour as wheat) leit the Paeific coast this week. San Francisco advices are that a re- vival-of demand for flour by China is ex- ected, PThe serious break in beet sugar prices at London last week caused a panic among spec- ulative operators, which was checked only ring contracts to September 15. Prices have recovered some - since. The effect on cane sugar wag slight, beyond checking purchuses for a time, prices having eased off but a trifie. There is no change or hew discovery in the statistical position of cane sugar to alter the pronounced bullish position of that staple. Baw has been shaded an eighth. Coffee advanced in speculative markets up to luesday about We per pound on an actual Cemwand. Offers from Santos on a parity with New York, indicating weakness at primary markets, broke the price, and a dropat Havre stimulated the reaction. The net gain on the week is but be. ron and steel markets remain strong. Makers are indifferent to contracts for future Gelivery at present prices, Southern iron markets are notably firm. Steel pile are more Active. A report of a cut in steel\plates is de- Lied. Copper is firmly held by American pro- Cucers with no break below i2cents, except —. brands, Visible stocks continue to de- Tease. Anthracite coal is relatively quiet, the ar- Ditrary advance in prices not having attracted burers. Stocks remain large. Domestic dry goods at first hands are only moderately active. Print cloths are 1160 lower, out other makes of cotton and woolen £008 are firmly held, with bleached cottons be wid a small advance. Brown and red cottons are gold up to production.

A Breezy Letter From President Frank N. Gage of the National Union—Bee Hive and Germania Added tothe List of Coun- Cils—An A. O. U. Ww. Directory—P al Paragraphs—Notes From the BRoom—Pythian Progress. HE attendance at the Knights of Pythias city lodges has somewhat fallen off owing to the extreme heat, yet there are cases where even heat is no bar to good at- tendance. Such was the case at Paragon Lodge last Monday evening, Sa when the rank of Knight in amplified form was conferred, and for the first time the new officers’ robes were worn. Every one pronounced the conferring of the rank was a grand success. Past Grand Chan- cellor Radcliffe and many other visitors were present. The Grand Chancellor has received infor- mation thata new lodge is being organized at Thayer, inthe southern part of the State, which promises to be a very large lodge and starts under auspices which indicate that the planting of the Pythian banner at that point will be a great success. Last night Rea Cross Lodge, No. 54, con- ferred the rank of Knight in amplified form and a goodly number of Knights were present. If Red Cross advances in numerical strength during the present term as she did last it will be the largest lodge in the State. Their roster now contains 211 names. On Monday evening last St. Elmo Lodge, No. 141, was instituted at Kansas City, Grand Vice-Chancellor Joseph A. Hawthorne acting as Special Deputy Grand Chancellor. The new lodge was instituted in the hall of Kansas City Lodge, No. 1, and starts under very favorable auspices. Golden Crown Lodge, No. 62, at its last con- vention proved three Pages in the rank of Esguire and the Chancellor Commander says be will have no vacation during the summer montis, but work every week.’’ Excelsior Lodge, No. 19, on Wednesday evening last received one application for initiation and has ordered the trustees to print the new by-laws. Past Chancellor Louis Hild, the newly elected Master of Exchequer, will be installed at the next meeting. The committee to whom has been assigned the duty of procuring the necessary means for the entertainment of the Grand Lodge and Grand Encampment which takes place on the th of October next, lasting four days, will consist of the following brothers: John H. Holmes, Grand Chancellor; Frank Parsons, Brigadier General, Uniformed Rank; Thos. R. Gelwicks, Grand Keeper of Records and Seals; Col. Geo. Spilling, Geo. C. R. Wagoner of Red Cross Lodge, No. 54; Brian O’Bear of 131 and Jonn C. Bensieck of Lincoln Lodge, No. 18. They have had several meetings and will, during the coming week, get into working shape. It is hoped that the coming festivities will be so varied in character that the hosp!i- tality of the city and of this order will be most generous. The National Union. The following let- ter from the Presi- dent of the National Union speaks for it- self: Richard E. Berger. Esq., Secretary St. * Louis Congress N. U., Ste. Louis, Mo.: 5 D’R SIR AND FRIEND our very breezy and exhilarating let- ter of July 8, inform- ing me of a voluntary union organization of the Councils of the National Union in your city, with the above title, duly received and noted. Lam glad to see the newly awakened but very pronounced enthusiasm among our members in St. Louis, as sbown by your let- ter, und also by the personal notices in secret society notices of the newspaper sent me— the POST-DISPATCH. |. By ail means see that these notices are as frequent and prominent as possible. Have it some one’s duty to attend to furnishing them, and then give the paper all the support you can to en- courage it in continuing the column asa reg- ular feature. This plan has done as much for us here in tending and as the order, and here is where it has made its most pronounced progress. Iam glad to note that another council is al- ready under way, and then we shail be giad to welcome your congress“ to the little family of cabinets and next June at Washington, a Senator from Missouri, notchosen haphazard and perhaps unfortunately, but rewarded for good work in your Congress and Cabinet by deserved pro- motion. Our Chicago Cabinet gives an ex cursion next Friday to institute a cabinet and boom“ the order in Milwaukee. Can you not invite usa little later to do the same for you? Keep the bali moving; we have the best order of this kind ever conceived and putin successful operation. Now let us not hide our light under a bushel, but like all good things ald it by pushing. Yours fraternaily, in L. P. T., FRANK N. GAGE, President Senate, N. U. The average death rate per 1,000 since May, 1888, has been the small number of four per annum. This knocks out all preconcerned tables of mortality and is hardly credible to persons not acquainted with the modus oper- andi of the order. Futuré Great Council held its regular meet- ing last Tuesday evening at the hall, corner of Seventh and Franklin avenue. The at- tendance was quite large, nearly one-half of the entire membership of the council being present. Ihe membership is now an even 100, with several to be initi- ated in the near future. Friend Peller, the organist, rendered the ‘‘Vacant Chair,’’ assisted by an able chorus. The council has now in consideration a scheme for an entertainment, as its funds aro accu- mulating very rapidly, and they desire to ex- pend them in advertising the advantages of being a member of Future Great. The officers are very reguiarin attendance and working very hard to double the membership before the year closes. H. Q. Van Nostrand of the „Golden Easle“ is president and the council has commenced to boom under his able mun- agemont. It is said that friend Wm. Rutlidge isthe worst kind ofa bare ball crank, and is hold- ing his breath over the result of each day's game. S. A. Linkof Browning. King & Co., isthe present speaker of Future Great, and he always has something to offer for the amuse- ment of the Council wen called upon. Friend J. F. Sieling, Assistant Superin- tondent of Barr’s, is one of the able members. ’Tis said be will hold an office in the Council next year asa reward for his hard labor for the Council during the — Friend Thos.

Royal Arcanum. — Cnevalier Council, No. 1089, Royal Arcanum, had a very interesting and un- usually well attended moet - ing last Monday night. One candidate was initiat- ed into the peculiar mys- teries of the order and ap- pligations for membership were received from ten prospective candidates who are desirous of availing themselves of the benefits and privileges of the Royal um. After con- cluding the usual routine ‘business of the ooune the Orator Chevalier, Brother W. 9 J. 0 Keller, pre- sented a programme, consisting of instru- mental and vocal music, recitations and speeches by members of the Council. The entertainment was enjoyed and well ap- reciated by all present, and Bro. Keller eserves groat praise and commendation for the creditxble manner in which he acquitted himself. After the closing of the Council meeting all repaired to the ante-rooms, where a magnificent spread of such delicacies as are in season had been prepared. There was quite a large attendance of visitors present, among them being some of the Grand officers of Grand Council. John C. Crother, the Vice Regent of Cheval- ler, is enlarging and waking extensive changes in his poultry yards. He says that the rearing of game and fancy poultry is a very profitable business, but that it requires a great deal of attention and experience. The genial and venerabie ex Chaplaln of Chevalier, Brother Wm. A. Rowley, has been missed for quite a number of meetings and solicitously inquired after by many of the members. Itnow turns out that his con- tinued absence is easily accounted for, when we bear in mind that Brother Rowley is book- keeper for the Twin Burner’’ Stove Co. Brother Chas. E. Sayer, stock clerk at Sim- mons Hardware Co., is on a four weeks’ vaca- tion, spending the same in Northern Illinois. His position as Guide of Chevalier Council bas been filled during the last two meetings dy Brother Coudy. Geo. J. Leitch is very well pleased with the principles and workings of the Royal Ar- canum. He considers it a duty every man owes to his family to become amember. He is at present 1 every one of his friends tojointhe order and sayshe will not rest until they are all members of Uhevalier Coun- One of the most regular attendants of Chevalier Council is Brother Thos. J. Clare, who isthe present Sentry. During his con- nection with the order he has missed but one meeting and that was caused byiliness. He thinks it the duty of every member to attend reguiar and is surprised at the negligence of some in not taking a little Interest in the affairs of the council. Local Legion of Honor. Mr. H. H. Stockoff is a mem- ber of almost all the secret or- ders of any note, but says Alpha Council is his particular favorite. Mr. Wengler, Recorder of Delaware, has laid down the shears during dog days and refrains from talk- ing about his suits, which ‘‘areall wool, a yard wide and fit like the paper on the wall. Mr. George W. Davie has returned from his trip to Colorado and will be givena hearty welcome by the members of Alpha when he shows up atthe meeting on next Thursday evening. The race in Alpha for the Receivership, with its $1,000 a year, is assuming proportions and a hot fight is undoubtedly on. The situation pays well, but the work is hard and the re- sponsibility great. d Dunn has promised to wear one of his ‘*costumes’’ when Alpha Council does herself proud at Ubrig’s Cave in the near future; that will be an attraction in itself. Ed is quite English.’’ Alpha Council last night bad a rousing meet- ing, the best element of the council being present. Ali interest centered onthe nomi- nations for the Recorder’s position, and ’twas anexciting meeting. After a long burst of oratory and eloquence from such bright lights as O’Neill Ryan, J. M. Jordan, A. E. Cook, Ben T. Clark, F. A. Wind, Paul Jones and others, six worthy, suitable and estima- ble brothers were nominated as follows: McDonald, Dixon, Baker, Gartside, Bugard and Williams. The first meeting in August tells She story, gnd it’s hoped the best man „gets there. Many pretty references were made touching the services so ably rendered by the retiring Recorder, Nelson Young. Such expressions of admiration for himevif and approbation of his services while in office must indeed fill Bro. Young’s soul with pride. He will ever occupy a snug corner in the hearts of ‘‘Old Alphe’’ and her members. The inclement weather of Tuesday evening necessitated a postponement of Alpha’s lawn party. It was a great disappointment, but the entertainment will occur later on a grand- er scale at Forest Park. Bear with us, ladies, and amends will be made. A. O. U. W. Lafayette Lodge No. 891, A. O. U. W., has earned the reputation of being the most progressive lodge in the State, and al- ways on the aggressive in bringing forward some- thing new for the ad- vancement or benefit of the order. The latest thing le a complete and unique A. O. U. W. directory, in a very neat form and very conveniently arranged. Lafayette proposer to presenteyery visitor w.th a copy of the directory, andan invitation is cordially and fraternally extended to every member of the order to come to some of the meetings of the lodge and get a copy. Con- sidering that much valuable information is contained in this little book every brother workman in St. Louis should not fail to get one. The Master Workman of Lafayette says that the book is in great demand and that a second edition may have to be issued. Brother R. H. Kobasch, Past Master of La- fayette, says that the A. O. U. W. is the most popular order in St. Louis. His membership in the order has been the meaus of acquiring an extended acquaintance and he believes the time will come when St. Louis alone will count 20,000 members. Much comment has recently been made in Lafayette Lodge on account of the coutinued absence Of Past Master Workman F. Dom- browski, who has not attended a meeting for over a Year. It has now transpired that Bro. Dombrowski, who has a fine baritone voice, is diligently studying music under the directen ofa prominent professor, and that he has a fair prospect of an engagement witb a star opera company. Wm. J. Score, the Recorder of Lafayette, has never missed a meeting since the institu- tion ofthe lodge. This is an exceptional rec- ord and is seldom equaled. Bro. Score de- serves great credit for his punctuality and the efficient manner in which he attends tothe duties of the important office he holds. James Peller, the organist of Lafayette, who is connected with the Wanamaker & Brown clothing company, is at present enjoying a vacation, from which he will probably return during the coming week. Before his depart- ure he mentioned the fact that he was work- ing On several candidates, and that be would bring in the ere of two ot them if he should return in time for the next meeting. Lafayette Lodge is * is once more counting Bro. H. L. . Edington as one of her members. At the institution of Lafayette, Bro. Edington was one ofthe charter members. Shortiy there- after circumstances necessitated his removal to Nashville, Tenn., his birthplace, and, wish- ing to take an active part lu one of the lodges there, he took his card and placed it in South Nashville lodge. After several years sojourn in Tennessee he returned to St. Louls and brought bis card toagain become a member of Lafayette. The members are highly elated in one more possessing Bro.

Gov. Lowry After the New Orleans & North- eastern Railroad’s Charter—Mitchell and Donovan Leave for Canada— Boston and New York Suffer Defeat Yesterday— Racing at Chicage and Brighton Beach —Sporting News, OHN L. SULLI- J VAN has proba- bly entered the prize ring for the last time. He declared after his battle with Kilrain that he would fight no more, and while these statements — — usually go for naught, Sullivan very likely spoke the truth. It ig not because Sullivan made the statement that it is entitled to much weight, but because it is extremely doubtful whether he will ever again be able to secure backing. There is a question whether his victory over Kilrain was not more of a curse than a benefit to him. The instant he got back to New Orieans from the battie-grounds he commenced drinking and by evening was avery drunk man. He does not seein to have sobered up at any time since, for every account received of him from that time contained the information that he was drunk. He was not sober when he left New Orleans, was drunk at Nashville, fight- ing drunk at Chicago, and now news comes from New York that he arrived there in a state of speech- less intoxication. A drunkard’s grave appears to be his inevitable wind-up. His victory has done for him what many expected. It has started him on a tear which will proba- bly be followed by a succession of other drunks until death relieves him of a worthless lite. Sullivan is not likely to ever reform sufficiently to again become fit fora battie in the prize ring. It he had lost the Kilrain fight the result would probably have been the same. He would drown his sorrow as he now ſeeds his joy. It is said that Gov. Lowry of Mississippi is taking the neces- sary legal steps to have the charter of the New Orleans & Northeastern road for- feited because the corporation aided and abetted inthe fight. Without the assistance of the road it is claimed the fight would have been impossible. Charley Mitchell and Mike Donovan, Kilrain’s trainers, are reported to have fled to Canada to escape arrest. Sullivan Will Go to Beston. New YORK, July 20.—John L. Sullivan slept late this morning andthe miscellaneous host of callers were turned away from the Vander- bilt Hotel, where the champion is at present stopping with his brother Mike. It is more than likely that the party will start some time to-day for Boston. A big crowd began to form as early as 7 o’clock this morning about the entrance to the office of the ZlWustrated News in the hope of catching ee of the slugger. Chariey Jobnson said this morning that be did not think the stake money now in Al Cridge’s hands would be called for until after Sullivan’s return from the Hub, „We have plenty of money.“ he said,‘‘and are in no hurry.’’ The Sullivan party do not fear or anticipate arrests and are taking no precautions. The latest reliable news concerning Charley Mit- chell is that he is in Canada with Pony Moore waiting forachance to slip —— for good from Avenger Norris, the Mississippi detec- tive, whom he cuchred. After Kilrain and Murphy. BALTIMORE, Md., July 20.—The detective John T. Norris of Springfield, O., who spent the last two days in New York looking after Mitchell and Pony Moore, arrived here on the 2:45 train this morning. lle bad come to arrest Jake Kilrain and Johnny Murphy. He handed Marshal Frey his requisi- tion papers, signed by the Governor of Mississippi: for the arrest of Jake Kilrain, principa!, and Charley Mitchell, Mike Dono- van and John Murphy as accessories in break- ing the iaw of Mississippi. The Marshal said that the requisition was useless as it did not specify the State of Maryland or bear the countersign of Gov. Jack- son, and that he could not order Ku- rain’s arrest until he received a warrant signed by Gov. Jackson, Detective Norris went to Jake’s house, but the pugilist had been spirited away by his friends, and the de- tective apparently thinking his trip useless disappeared at the Pennsylvania Railroad station, but whether he has really left town is not positively known.
