The Old Nobility Object te the Possibilty of Being Ruled by One of Fife Children— O’Brien to Move a New Trial of His Case Against the Premier—Foreign News. Epecial Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. Loypon, July 22.—In well-informed circles the story is current that the Marquis of Salis- bury has written to the Queen urging her to exact from Princess Louise of Wales a promise that upon ber marriage she will re- nounce all her rights to the succession of the throne. In the event of the two sous of the Prince of Wales both dying without issue, the children of the Princess Louise would be in the direct line of succession to the crown, This is dy sno means such a remote contingency a6 may at frst sight ap- pear, and the fact that it is quite within the bounds of possibility that Lord Fife may in course of time be the father of a monarch, Justiſles ite discussion. Such a denouement, | should it ever be brought about, would be re- garded with anything but favor by the more influential of our old gobility who—as a great lady pithily put it yesterday: ‘‘Have no idea of being ruled over by one of Fife’s children. Meanwhile, the on cial arrangements for the wedding are published to-day. The decision on the royal grants matter will probably be announced in the House of Commons this evening.

LOUIS HARBOR, A Determined Effort Will Be Made te Se cure its Improvement. Mayor Noonan and Harbor Commissioner Marphy have held several consultations since the return of the Mayor regarding matters connected with the river, harbor and wharf. The Mayor sees in the future ingress of new trunk line railways an increase of the river business from here to the Gulf, and will take an active hand in securing for this district, which extends from the mouth of the lilinois to the mouth of the Ohio, an increase of the appropriations for the im- rovement of the river from here to Catro. he Mayor thinks that there should be ineor- porated in the next Rivers and Harbors bill an item appropriating at least one million doi- lars for the work named instead of the paltry amount usually allowed the resident engineer for his district. The Mayor sees clearly that with the advent of new roade new barge lines and steamboats willbe brought into this harbor, and he thinks the river and narbor should be so im- proved as to permit of ane boats and baraes drawing any stage of water to load at the elevators and railroad land- ings and go untmpeded by shoal water to the Gulf. Maj. Miller nas always been friendly to 4 me of improving the Immediate harbor of thecity andthe Mayor thinks it is the duty of the municipal authori- ties to lend their aidand influence to induce the War Department and the Bureau of En- gineers to agree to the recommendations of Maj. Miller. He willtherefore instruct Har- bor Commissioner Murphy to prepare the data for use at the national Capital, to forward this important work. Anotner matter which the Executive and Harbor Department have had under advise- ment and consideration for some time is the acquisition for wharf purposes of the ground immediately in front of the St. Louis Arsenal. It will be remembered that allusion was made some time since tothe fact that Congress bad in 1866 granted a portion of this ground tothe city for its use as a landing place forever. Harbor Commissioner Murphy has just completed a survey and prepared a map of the ground in question end bas been instructed by the Mayor to formulate a petitionto the Secretary of War looking to a further grant by Congress of all the land lying east of the former grant and to the middie of the river. This would include a_e stripe of 600 , 000 square feet of land now west of the east wharf line. It will be a very vaiusbie piece of property to the city, and the Mayor thinks by proper efforte the city can acquire a title ln fee im- ple to it and without the outlay of any portion of the municipal revenus. The improvement of Sawyer’s Lend is another matter closely connected with the necessary depth of water in the harbor, and the Harbor Commissioner will during a visit to Washington bring this as well as the other matters to the attention of the national authorities. Tne Mayor seems determined to secure for the barb: rof St. Louis and for the river interests here the rebief that should have been obtained years ago. If necessary he will visit Wasulngton bimself in the interest of these projects. DIFFEK ENCES OF OPINION, But No Dissension in the First United Pres- byterian Church Over the Use of an Organ For some days it bas been reported in church circles that a serious dissension had broken out in the congregation of the First United Presbyterian Church, corner of Nineteenth and Morgan streets. Investigation proves the report to be a great exaggeration. About two weeks ago a departure was made ee when an organ was introduced into the regular service. This innovation was gently resisted at first by afew of the mem- bers ofthe church, about eight in ali, who, ‘finding they were very wuen in the } minority, 2 te sbide by the f e ve wish 0 ry large majority. In a total of about 1,00 churches organs are in use in not more than seventy-five or eighty, and with many good Presbyterians the preju- | dice against instrumental music still contin- | ues. Prior to 188) the prohibition of instra- mental music in service was among the roles generaliy doubted, and in that year an overture was made by the General Assembiy to the varieus Presbyteries. It was then | found that most of them were in favor of re- | pealingtherule. This left tne matter to the option of the charches. Ia many congress tions where there are few trained voices to select from, it is no ess matter to ar- range the song service without instrumental music of some kind. This was about the con- dition of affairs in First Church when tue proposition was presented to the congregsa- tion. An organ bad long been in use lu the Sunday-school.

New Yorn, July 22.—On July 12 a mysterious young woman committed suicide at a Third avenue lodging bouse. She was at first sup- posed to be Mrs. Kitty Doane of Toronto, but later it was discovered that that was not her name. All efforte to identify the suicide failed until yesterday. Wm. Reynolds, a young tinsmith, called at police headquarters and stated that the young girl wus his cousin, Kate McC rmack, of Cleve- land, who ran away with a serung Machine | | penger, who had on a black dress and « man’s agent named Kibier some months ago.

BURNING OF THE STEAMER LORENZO D. BAKER AT SEA. Two of the Firemen Drowned and the Re- meinder of the Crew aud Passengers Baved by a Whaling Schouvuner—Shocking Accident at a Railroad Crossing—KHilled by Lightning—Killed by a Shark. New BeprorpD, Mass., July 22.—The whal- ing schooner Franklin arrived here this moru- ing with the crew of the steamer Lorenzo D. Baker, from Point Antonio, Jamaica, for Bos- ton, with frult. The steamer was burned at sea. Capt. Wiley reports: We left Port Anto- nlo on the 10th of July with a cargo of bananas for Boston, and had six cabin passengers— Mrs. Elizabeth time of Dundee, Scotland, Joseph Dillon of lowa, Lorenzo D. Baker, Jr., of Wellfleet, Mass.; Josiah O'Callaghan and Jeremiah C. O'Callaghan of Boston (uncle and nephew), Ernest B. Thyng of Lynn, Lawrence Jenson and Peter Saxfield, sallors who were working thelr passage, and ninefeen officers and crew. We had fair, smooth water up to theevening of July 16 (the day of the disaster) when we were in lat - itude 38.15, longtitude 60.49. Atthis time a fresh gale from the southwest setin causing the ship toroll some, butnot severely. At midnight there was an alarm of fre. I went. out on deck and saw the engine - room ina blaze. I ordered the hose on, but the engineer said he could not get at the pumps. Then ! ordered the fire buckets and alarmed the passengers and ordered the doat to be swung out. By this time the flames had burst through the top of the engine-room and the starboard boat was on fire. We swung out tne port boat and low. ered her to the rail. I ordered this one to be manned. Two or three passengers got into the boat. The fire was now within three feet ofusand the heat to those who stood by the boat was intense. Placing the boat’s painter in the hands of a salior and telling him to hold it fast. I ordered the first mate to take the bow, and, springing into the stern, told the men to lower away, thinking as soon as the boat was afloat and detached from the tackies to return on board and get out the raft and small boat as they were then comparatively safe and away fromthe fire. But in lowering the boat as it struck the water it immediately capsized and THREW US INTO THE WATER. On coming to the surface I found the man holding the painter had let go of it when he saw the disaster so that the boat was near us. Helping the passengers to a safe bold on the keel in a few minutes the mate and I righted the boat. In getting our company to safe positions we bailed the boat, took the passengers in and looked around for the ship which had by this time drifted about half a mile away. It bad been twenty minutes from the time of lowering the boat until we were in itagain. We put away for the steamer and when about half way to it we fell in with the rait, which had eight ver- | sonson it. It foated with only one end above | water, baving been injured iniaunching. We took ali from the raft into the boat. The wind nad now increased and the sea was hig, Some time was consumed with the raft and we were @ me from the wreck when 9 started for her. After rowing ¢ time we picked | upasallor floating on the gangway steps. | From him we learned that he had gone in the small bout and that four sailors and two fre- men were left on board the steamer, they Lav- ing got cut off from the boa BY THE FIRE. One, a fireman, had been drowned in trying to reach the email boat. Then we found to | our sorrow thatthe distance between us and | the ship was increasing, but still when the wind aud sea would permit, we struggied ito get to the wreck. The tore noon was rapidiy passing away, when to our joy we saw a schoone) bearing down to the ship. We saw her lay by and take off some men and then come to us. We were 6-00 safely on board the vessel which proved to be the Franklin, Capt. Rose, of New Bedford. We found sine had taken five men from a sper alongside the steamer. Another fireman had been drowned in swimming from the steam- ers boweprit to the Spar. At thie time the steamer had burned to within three feet of the water's edge. We soon found the small boat and twenty-five out of twenty-seven souls who had been on the steamer were saved and safe on board the Franklin. The most generous treatment waa accorded us by Capt. % and the crew of thaschbooner. The best the res cuers had was freely offerec tous. Said Capt. tone: ‘My voyage will not be up for a month, but I will carry you Into port, and we started for New Bedford.“ TRULY PROVIDENTIAL. This, the Captain says, is the bare statement of one of the most thrilling situations it is possible for men to find themselves in; to be awakened in the middle of the night in a high wind and angry es to find tbeir ip on fire, and one boat gone and poor prospect of sefety. Added to this, to have the other boat on whieb their safety depended capsize as soon a8 launched, wasenough to appail the stoutest heart. That they should escape with the loses of only two lives is truly provi. dential. Enouch praise can hardly be awarded to Capt. Rose and the officers and crew of the Franklin for their gallant rescue. The firemen who lost their lives were Hugh Wylie of Liver- pool, England, and Raiph Kobinson of Boston, Mase. Mre. Eiizabeth imme, the lady pas derby bat,wason her way home from Jamaica, where her busband had died, to reside with friends in Scotiand. She was asleep, when she was aroused by the voice of Capt. Wylie telling ber to get up and dress and prepare to leave theship, as it wason fire. She burried into some clothing, secured ber money and went on deck, where she was placed in the life-boat. Asthe craft was lowered into the water t capsized and she was dra underneath it. She could not swim, but bad on Aa Me preserver and be saw Mrs. Simms. He called: For God’s sake save the woman, and caught her by the arm. When the boat was rignted she wae as- sisted and soon after the boat was ed by the Franklin. She was treated likes 4 ces by the crew of tae schooner who tried by every delicate attention to make her as com- fortab le as possibie.

W. H. Uu. Anderson Appointed Acting As- sistant and John J. Bailey Actuary. The directors of the Mercantile Library As- sociation have appointed W. H. H. Andersog Acting Assistant to the association and Joha J. Bailey Actuary. Since the death „ot Librarian and Actuary John N. Dyer there has been much speculation as to whe would succeed him. is first assistant, Mr. Anderson, has been mentioned prominent for the piace, but, though urged by mony gentiemen who have the interest ofthe lib at heart, he was not appointed. Last wee the board decided to place Mr. Anderson charge of the library temporarily and give him tne title of Acting Assistant, while the books and the financial matters would be placed in charge of Mr. Balley. Mr. Bailey to-day entered upon his duties as actuary. He was years ago an assistant in. the Mercantile Library. He left that inetita- tion In 1865 to become Librarian of the Publiie Rehool Libraty, where he remained some years. Recently he bas been book-keeper for the St. Louis Type Foundry. The position of Actuary was separate from that of Librarian at the Mercantile up to 186). At that time John N. Dyer was Actuary and E. W. Johnston Librarian. On the retirement of the latter the duties ofthe Librarian — assumed by Mr. Dyer, who filled both . tious to the day of bis death. AGED 104 YEARS.
