A Public Meeting Held to Petition the Home Secretary for a Remission of Sentence Emperor Francis Joseph Reviews the Army Corps of the German Guards—Ex- Queen Natalie Determined to See Her Sen, Hing Alexander—A Kussian Hint Directed Against the Triple Alliance— Foreign News. > PARIS, August 13.—The State Council has an- nulled the elections in twelve cantons in which Gen. Boulanger was elected to the Councils General, on the ground that the Gen- eral was not eligible for the position. Gen. Boulanger has written a letter in which he states that he gave the sums of money which he is accused of embezzling to the chief clerks in the war office, to be used for the re- lief of widows and orphans of soldiers. Five lodgers in the house of Mme. Pourpres, the former mistress of Gen. Boulanger, have sworn that the General was in Pala on July 15, 1887, the day on which it is alleged he vis ited the city in disguise. GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY. Tho Senate Court this afternoon found Gen. Boulanger guilty of conspiracy. Mrs. Maybrick. LIVERPOOL, August 13.—Mrs. Maybrick, the condemned murderess, is in a very depressed state. She passes much ot the time in moan- ing for her children and weeping copiously. The chaplain of the prison is devoting much of his time tothe condemned woman and she appears to greatly appreciate his visite. A PUBLIC MEETING. LONDON, August 13.—A meeting to consider the case of Mrs. Maybrick was held at the Cannon Street Hotel to-day. A resolution was adopted to petition the Home secretary for a remission of her sentence. The meeting was attended by a large number of persons. MR. MAYBRICK!S WILL. The Llverpool papers print the terms of Mr. Maybrick’s will, which was probated on Mon- day, July 29; LIVERPOOL, April 28. 1888. In case I dle before having made a regular and proper will in legal form, I wish this to be taken as my last will and testament. I leave and bequeath all my worldly possesions of what kind or description, moludtag furni- ture, pictures, wines, linen and K insurances, cash, shares, property, in fact everything I possess, in trust with my brothers, Michael Mayorick and Thomas Maybriok, for my two children, James Chandler Maybrick and Gladys Evelyn Maybrick. The furniture Idesire to remain intact, and to be used in furnishing a home which cay be shared by my widow and children; put the furniture is to be the children’s. I further desire that all moneys be invested in the names of the above trustees (Michael and Thomas Maybrick) and the income of same used for the cnhil- dren’s benefit and education, such education to be left tothe discretion of said trustees. My widow will have for her portion of vs estate the policies on my life, say £500 wit the Scottish Widows’ Fund and £2,000 with the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, both policies being made out in her name. The intereston this £2,500, together with the £125 a year which she re- celves from her New York property will make a provision of —a sum, although small, will yest means of keeping her r It is also my desire that my widow shail live under the same root with the children so long as she re- mains my widow. If itis legally possible, I wish the £2,500 of life assurance on my life in my wife’snameto beinvested in the names of said trustees, but that she should have the sole use of the interest thereof during her life, but at her death the principal to revert to my said children, James Chandler and Gladys Evelyn Maybrick.

Gideon F. Brown Supposed te Be is Canada —The Investigation. Boston, Mass., August 18.—It is pretty gen- erally believed here that Gideon P. Brown of the bankrupt woo! firm of Brown, Steese & Clark has joined the Canadian colony. His partners have not heard from him since he disappeared last Thursday night. There is no doubt that the failure of the firm is a surprise to the wool trade generally, although in a few instances dealers were found who say that they are surprised only because the crash came atthe present time. It was expected about a year ago. Millionaire Ssturte- vant, two of whose daughters are wives of two members of the firm, has been known as the financial backbone of this establish- inent,and itis thoughtthat his death some two months ago is the prime factor in the em- barrassment of the house. Mrs. Brown wrote to the business manager of her husband’s firm esterday and referred to her cond ition in adis- eartening manner. She has not heard a word from her husband since before his departure. G. F. Diekinson, counsel for Brown, Steese & Clark, went to Dedham and filed a petition in insolvency. It was made out in the usual form and signed by Edward Steese and Amasa Clark, both of Brookline. The unpleasant ru- mors that were afloat last week of the re-hy- 3 of wool by Mr. Brown, it is ve- eved, were well founded. How many such cases there are it is difficult to tell. The firm’s books are being thoroughly examined to as- certain just what transactions have been made and how they stand. An instance of this is the claim made by Faulkner, Page & Co., woolen manufacturers of this city, who have paid some $3,000 or $4,000 for wool which the Massachusetts Trust & Loan Co. held as col- lateral. At the store of Brown,Steese& Clark this is not denled. Inquiry of the Loan & Trust Co. elicited the fact that it had lent money on wool of the same numberof which Faulkner, Page & Co. bought. This firm thinks the entire lot is large enough to cover the amount of s purchase and also to satisfy the Loan & Trust Co.’sclaim. George W. Hollis is said to have great difficulty in his efforts to find what has become of the wool that he placed in Brown’s hands.

JACKSON, Mich., August 13.—G. G. Schegel of Hersey, Mich., says that a man sent to Jackson prison for horse stealing from Her- sey ona three years’ sentence is none other than Tascott. He says he knows him well and the horse stealing was a plan to get him in a safe place. Schegel wentto Warden Hatch with his story and Hatch sent him to Chicago. After a while Schegel returned and said that certain persons in Chicago told him they knew Tascott was in Jackson prison and offered him half the reward to keep it quiet. Schegel refused, he said, and instead engaged * lawyer to look after the mat ter. In an interview Warden Hatch said:“ Lex - amined the convict and found the resemblance startling so far as I had heard of Tascott. He has the same scars that are given as being on the Snell murderer with the exception that the one on the leg in the published réport of Tascott’s appearance wason the other leg ofthe convict. The height is the same; the complexion size amd all correspond. Ido t Know hat to make of the matter, but I all take steps to fnify satisfy myseif of the identity of the man. A detective who arrived at the prison from Jackson last night said the convict is not Tascott, though the resembiance is stronge- LABOR NEWS. ANew Change Unfavorable to the Braid- wood Mine Strikers. STREATOR, III., August 13.—A new phase of the mining situation developed here yester- day which will give the striking miners more trouble than they had previously anticipated. It is said on good authority thatthe Star Coal Co., whose mine is located at Kangley, near here, has completed arrangements by tele- graph by whichafull quota of men to run their shaft will, inside of thirty days, be landed here from West Virginia. This com- pany employed during the last year some- thing over four hundred men. The Chicago, Wilmington & Vermilion Co., which has always given employ- ment to at least two thousand men, is also saidto be negotiating for men from other oints. Thia company operates mines at raid wood, La Salle, Seatonville and gother piaces, and hes grown tired of the repeated strikes. If the miners of these places desire to resume work they will have to it quick- ly, the operators say, as they do not propose to stand idly by and see Southern operators take all the contracts and let the market for their produce be forever destroyed. Many of the miners own their own homes and are will- ing to go to work at the prices offered, but are prevented from so doing by the more radical element and the hotheaded foreigners whoare in the majority. THE FIRST DAY’S SESSION, Meeting of the Illinois State Pharmaceutical Association at Quincy. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPratcn. Quincy, III., August 13.—The first regular session of the Illinois State Pharmaceutical Association commenced at 10 o’clock to-day. The Executive Committee had a meeting this forenoon and arranged business for the con- vention. About seventy-fve druggists are now here andtwice as many more expected. As this is the first meeting of the association in this section of the State there ere many here who never attended 3 meeting before.

KINOS LATEST CIRCULAR, A GREAT DEAL OF OPPOSITION roa ALLEGED ARBITBARY POLICY. General Interest Manifested in the Affairs ef the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Bailread~ Mr. Peckham’s Advice to Mr. Hing Not Favorably Received—The Prespects of Reorganization Net Favorable. Bv Telegraph te the POsT-DISPATO H. New Tron, August 13.—There is such gen- eral interest manifested in the affairs of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rallroad that a re- porter called upon several prominent dank ing houses who were known to be largely in- terested in Missouri, Kansas & Texas securi-+ ties, the majority of which are the general mortgage Sse and 6s, to ascertain their views in reference to Mr. King’s latest ciroular, issued tothe consolidated 7 per centibond- holders. A member of one of the firms re- ferred to expressed his views very plainly, that while they hold some ot the 7 per cent bonds they were not in favor of the arbitrary policy Mr. King is pursuing. Mr. King, he said, ‘‘expressiy states in his circular that he is not anxious to run the road as trustee, but is willing todo so. The impression is created that this is just what he wants, but the fact that the company is again in the hands of receivers indicates that hig former trusteeship was not exercised wisely, and if the company had then been properly reorganized the security bondholders would not now be in their unfortunate position. Mr. Peckhbam’s advice to Mr. King lays him open to the suspicion that de is looking out for the lawyer's fees, as his policy means long litigation instead of a speedy reorganiza- tion. Nothing could have been more unfair,“ said this banker, ‘‘than Mr. King’s statement of net earnings, when he makes it appear that the northern division earnedin January, February and March about $250,000 surplus while the southern division ran behind operat- ing expenses about $20,000. Everybody knows the dilapidated condition of the M., K. 4 T., when it went into the hands of the receiver; that the weather in Texas last winter was the worst in its railroad history, and that work was done under the most un- favorable conditions, and, therefore, was very expensive. Besides the receiver relaid the track with many miles of new rails, all of which went into operating er- penses and, strange to say, while the weather was exceptionally bad in Texas, it was ex- ceptionally good north of that State, and Kansas and Missouri had not known such a mild winter in many years. Therefore, it ig not only unfair but most deceptive to present statements under these conditions and claim six-sevenths of the net earnings of the north- ern division and only one-seventh for the southern division. Take the same month’s earnings on a nom- inal basis of operating expenses— sav 65 per cent. which it will be when once the road is in good order—and apply the rec- ommendations of the committee which has just made its report, and it will be found thas the Northern division earned about three-fifths to the Southern division's two-fifths, which ts very different from six-sevenths and one- seventh. Ithink Mr. Enos is somewhat out of the way in claiming 50 per cent for the South- ern division, but he is much nearer being cor- rect than Mr. King. Mr. King characterizes as most extraordinary the receivers getting con- trol of the Kansas City & Pacific Roadand the Court ordering it. Extraordinary conditions demand and justify extraordinary measures. We, as holders of both classes of bonds, approve the action of the court In this matter, as we understand it gives the Missouri, Kan- sas & Texas the advantage of an independent entrance to Kansas City, and also the shortest line to the gulf over forty miles (which, reason of the interstate law, is of great benefit) and it also makes the shortest line to Mexico, from which place a large ore traffic is devel- oping tothe smeiters in Kansas City. Mr. King does not claim that the Missouri, - sas & Texas is injured by the new acquisition, only thatit is extraordinary. This matter, no doubt, was well considered by those In charge of the operation of the road. What do you think of the prospects of re- organization?’’ They do not seem very favorable just now. We think it will be unfortunate for ail inter. ested ifthe system is broken up. No, we have not placed our bonds with either of the committees, as our customers do not approve of Mr. a a — which would break up the system. he other committee claiming to represent the general 5 and 6 mortgage bonds does not seem to have any other plan to ro- commit the property Mr. Gould’s administra- tion while. steady increase of earnings under the receivers seems to indicate that the best interest of all parties is to have an independ- ent reorganization. We understand the stock- holders have some plan of reorganization looking to this end. e will wait to see what this plan is bofore allowing either of the oom mittees to represent our interests.’’ THE ELEVATED BOAD.

Miller, Dozier, Loler and Kaiser to make contracts which would be of benefit to me is too preposterous to need a refuta- tion. Mr. Halpin says that he can substan- tiate his allegation that I am interested in the recommendation of Fuller & Warren’s bids. I would like to see him make such a statement over hisown signature. He dare not do it. After claiming that he can prove his charge, he cites as evidence of the truth of his assertion the fact that he saw my men doing work on the furnaces put in atthe Franklin School. He may have seen them there; that is probable, but the furnaces put in were shipped here directly from Chicago, and Fuller 4 Warren had their men here to do the work. They ran short of some pipe and they came to me to get it. Wasn't it natural that they should, since I deal with them? If I had acontract for furnishing fur- maces in —~ ¥ and ran short of anything I needed I would certainly go to Fuller & War- ren instead of to any other firm with the members of which I was not acquainted. It may bethat they borrowed tools out of m place, and that some of my men and I myself were seen at the school building while the work was going on, but thatI was directly or indirectiy pecunlarily interested in the work as Haipin insinuates is not true. The fact is that it was Mr. Dozier who first sug- gested to Fuller & Warren to compete for the werk here. He got into a 1 sett with them, I don’t know how, but on his suggestion they decided to try forthe work, and when Mr. Short, their principal representative, came here he brought a letter of introduction tome. The Rultan people were Also anxious do the heating and venti- lating for the schools, and when the Building Committee took up the question of heating and ventilating the School-house Mr. Miller, the Chairman, ap- pointed me ona committee to visit the new school-housesin East St. Louis, where the Ruttan system had been introduced, and make a report on its effectiveness. I DECLINED TO SERVE on the ground that I was a furnace man, and my views might be thought to have been framed through favoritism. Mr. Miller ac- — Ages my excuse, and when be appointed a sub-committee to jmake a comprehensive examination of all heating and ven- — apparatus he wisely re- frain from selecting me as a member. When the sub-committee decided that Fuller & Warren could give the board better satis- faction than anybody eise, I was asked for my views, andi said that I considered that the board could adopt either system and not be disappointed. The trouble with Halpin,’’ continued Mr. O'Connor, is that he issore. He used to do a great deal, in fact the most ot the furnace work in the public school-houses, and in view of the investigation of contracts given him by the old Building Commitee, the cry of ‘jobbery’ from him comes with very bad grace. The bills which he sent in for repairs, and which were allowed, were shown to have been outrageous, and it was even brought out that he had in some instances been pald a large sum over the amount of his contracts. Naturally he feels provoked at being deprived of the lucrative work which was formerly given him. The idea of Halpin talking about Underhand work! Why, he is the only man that ever made a proposition to me to enter into a job since have been in the School Board. He came to me one day right in front of my store and suggested that we combine tocapture the furnace work which the board wou! 1 out. IIooked at him and simply said, ‘Jim, I guess you have struck the wrong man.’ **Now as to giving the contracts to an outside „ The fact is that the most necessary thing to our schools is good ventilation. Now, Fuller &Warren and Ruttan make a specialty of furnishing furnaces to which are attached processes for perfect ventilation and drying of the closets. »The special sub-committee, after a thorough examination of the matter referred to them, convinced themselves of what kina of a sys- tem of heating and ventilation the schools ought to have, They could not get it here, and therefore were compelled to recommend the adoption of a system proposed by an out- side firm.’’ THE FURNACES ARRIVE. It was stated to-day on good authority that the furnaces for the Carr Lane Branch, Evans Avenue, Merameo and Spring Avenue schools forfurnishing which Fuller & Warren bad been recommended by the Building Commit- tee, had arrived and were now in the railroad yards in East St. Louis. The arrival the furnaces, so a Post-DISPATCH reporter was credibly informed, was even previous to the awards made by the Building Committee last Friday evening. In- asmuch asthe committee has not the power to make contracts, and that it is necessary for the board to rectify the recommendations formulated by the Building Committee, it is certainly a little curious that Fuller & War- ren should ship their furnaces here in ad- vance of the board’s action.

Jasper Oaff was tried in the Court of Criminal Correction this mornin’ on the charge of grand larceny and discharged on theevidence. Some interesting facts were evolved during the progress of the examination. It seems that about two weeks ago Oaff eloped with the wife of Andrew Null, from Washington, Mo., and came to St. Louis. When Null returned home from work that evening and learned of.» the mon 9 he at once telegraphed Chief Huebler to arrest the couple. The st. Louis authorities, however, held to their invariable rule to recognize tele- I an arrest only when signed y an official, and paid no attention to the message. Null, however, hurried to this cit and swore out a warrant charging Oaff with 3 larceny in stealing a stove and a quan- ity of furniture, which he claimed the elop- ing couple had taken with them in their fight. When the case eame up n for reliminary hearing this morni opted peculiar tactics to clear himself, When put upon the stand he swore that the woman was his wife and brought evidence to substantiate his statement. As Mrs. Nulli was the only witness ainst him, and as Null failed to prove that he ever legally married the woman, Judge Campbell was forced to discharge daff from custody. n n one and all the parties interested main a strict silence when spoken to in regard to the m .

ALL FLOODED. The Railread Tracks West of Kansas City Under Water. By Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug.13.—Thecountry be- tween Topeka and Kansas City is fooded and consequently all the trains from the West this morning were delayed and nearly all the main lines weré under water. Roundabout divisions and detours were taken lu order to arrive in this city. None of the trains were stalied. The Santa Fe Railroad suffered the greatest damage. Ten miles this side of Topeka the road is completely washed away and at Prairieville it has no track at all. The trains came in over the Union Pacific track, which is the only one left intact by the storm between Kansas City and Topeka. Yet in places it is under two to three feet of water. A few of the western trains on the Santa Fe and South- ern Kansas roads were abandoned. Thecrops between here and Topeka are greatiy dam- aged. All the dridges on the Santa Fe and Southern Kansas have been washed away. The tracks between here and Omaha are also greatiy damaged. The Missouri Pacific track near avenworth has been covered by the debris of an ice house along the track, that was undermined by the storm, There was a landslide on the Kansas City, Council Bluffs & St. Joseph road near Parkville and on the a llwaukee & St. Paul near Ran- olph. FIGHT AT A PICNIC. Warrants Out for Two Young Men on Serious Charges. Police Officers Sporlinemann and Smith and Sergt. King arrested Otto Meinhardt of No. 1600 Wash street, and Anton Lutz of No. 1500 O Fallon street, yesterday. Lutz is about 15 years of age andthe charge agalnst him is an assault to kill. The trouble occurred a week ago last Sunday at Grant’s farm. A party af young people, including the two arrested, went down to the farm for an outing. While there trcuble arose between Meinhardt and Max Pfeitfer, another member of the company about the right to accompany a — pegs | lady, a sister of Anton Lutz. Words led to blows, ana Meinhardt, who is much smaller than Pfeiffer, started to run, but tripped and fell. Pfeiffer jumped onto him and began beating him. Young Lutz at- tempted to help Meinhardt by drawing a pis- tol, with which he fired two shots, one into the air and the other at Pfeiffer. The aim was good, as the bullet passed through one of Pfeiffer’s legs and embedded itself in Meinhardt’s right thigh. This stopped the fight and both parties began to give their at- tention to their wounds. Pfeiffer has not been arrested, as he is thought to be hiding. Lutz and Meinhardt will be turned over to Vonsta- ble Schwab of Carondelet Township. CAPT. KINNEY’S SLAYERS. The Case of Berry.Continued Until Next Monday. By Telegraph to the Post-DisPaTcn.

Thirty-five Buildings Burned—Heavy Loss— Fire-Bugs at Wheeling, W. Va.—Attempt to Destroy Valuable Property—Car Works at Huntingdon, Pa., Destroyed—A Costly Barn Barned—Fires, Samu FRANCISCO, Cal., August 13.—News has been received here thatafire broke out at Truckee, late yesterday afternoon,and burned thirty-five buildings in the business portion of the town. The flames were first discovered in the residepce ot Engineer Dilley. The Southern Pacific Railroad Co.’s fire train, which was stationed at Summit, was dis- patched to the scene of the conflagration and lent much assistance in suppressing the fire, Among the buildings burned were the public school- house, two churches and the American Hotel. The amount of loss, which is necessarily very large, is not learned. The citizens of Truckee have lately been ridding the town of questionable characters, and the impression prevailed that the fire was started by incendiaries. What little news has been received from the unfortunate town does not confirm this theory. Chased by a Forest Fire. HELENA, Mont., August 18.—John Bloom and Louis Siff, just returned from a trip to the Cour d' Alene country, give the details of a thrilling experience. On July 30 they left Murray, Idaho, for Missoula, Mont., with two wagons and four horses. They had been warned at Murray that the 1 would be dangerous on account of forest fires raging along the line from there to Thompson. A few hours after th started the roar of the flames was heard and they urged their teams as i dag J as possible. The speed of the horses was slow compared to the rapidity at which the fre traveled. They were soon overtaken and leaving their teams in a dee ravine, ran for shelter in a deserted tunnel, whieh bappened to be inthe dense timber. Their place of refuge was entirely surrounded, and it was five days before they were able to get out. They were entirely shut off from their wagons containing provisions. There was asmall spring in the tunnel from which they obtained water, but they were without food nearly five days. The flames burned their horses and wagon. A Firebug’s Work. WHEELING, W. Va., August 13.—At4 o’clock this morning two stables were fired simul- taneously in an alley in the square bounded by Market and Main, and Fourteenth and Six- teenth streets, and were almost instantly ablaze. The entire Fire Department were called out and with some difficulty got the flames under control. A few minutes before the alarm was turned in a man was seen to rush out ofthe alley and run up Fourteenth street. His actions were suspicious, and he is Known. by the police to be a man open to suspicion. This is the third time that a similar attempt has been made to burn this same block, which is one of the costliest in the city. These circumstances recall the events of ten years ago, when nineteen incen- diary fires occurred in one week, and sus picion this ey points to the same in- dividual. The loss by this morning’s fire was about $10,000. Fora time Pollock's Pacific Mill, the — office, the Wheeling Opera-house an other valuable property were in imminent peril. Car-Works Destroyed.

Keeley & Co. have been stirring up things in West Clemens place where Henry Sylvester, the salesman of the firm, has succeeded in closing two transactions aggregatiag $8,000. This new evidence of a demand for property in that section is attributed to the recent ex- tensive sale of East Clemens place and the letting of a heavy contract which guarantees nitoid sidewaiks for that whole district. hese public improvements wil! doubtiess lead to a demand for lots out that way as the price of the ground is within reach of the great mass of buyers who want to provide themselves with comforable homes on lots of moderate value, convenient to cable lines so that they can reach the busi- ness center without much loss of time.

Carrie Bradburn bought the property at $25. a foot and Mr. Keeley says she intends to build a fine residence upon the site. Another sale in Clemens place by the same firm was that of a piece of ground fronting 100 by a depth of 800 feet on the west line of Beach avenue, extending * to Allanthus street one block west of amilton avenue, which was sold for $8,000 from J. D. Bascom to Carrie Bradburn, which site Mr. Keeley says the purchaser bought on speculation. TENANTS MOVING OUT. On the 23d inst. the Board of Pnblic Im- provements will receive bids for the full im- * ot Twelfth street over the con- emned space for the opening of that thor- oughfare lin. A great many of the old dwellings in the path of this proposed improvement have al- ready been vacated and parties yet living in other houses along the route will be required to move out in ample time that the work may proceed interruption, once it is commenced, until completed. Just now it is undecided as to what material will be used imaking the street. The probabilities are, however, so it is said, that Telford pavement will be used, as it is cheaper than granite and sufficiently good for the locality, where there is not likely to be much heavy hauling.

On board the ferry boat the President seated himself in a deck chair at the stern, the other members of the party sitting around him and chatted with Mr. Blaine others. The weather was ing. A ten minutes’ just passed over and the day was just bright enough to make the sail deligntful. At Bar Harbor was a good-sized crowd, who greeted the Presidentand cheered vociferously as he passed along to the carriage which was to take himself and friends to Stanwood. It has been decided that Mr. Harrison will not visit Provi- dence on his return trip, but will take the boat at Fall River. To-morrow he will be accom- anied to Bath by Secretary Tracey, Private retary Halford, Congressman ge and Walker Blaine, who is in charge of the ar- rangements for traveling, and who will accompany the President as far as New York.

A RASCAL IN THE TOILS, The Manager of a Private Lying-in Hospital at Boston Arrested. Boston, Mass., August 13.—Dr. Henry G. Harper, alias Dr. Stanford, physician, was arrested last night in Cambridge. Dr. Harper came to Cambridge last fall and has since occupied one of the largest and finest res!- dences there. The police had their suspicions aroused some time ago that the doctor was conducting an unauthorized lying-in hospital, Last Sunday night the corpse of a young woman was carried from Harper’s house to an undertaker’s shop. The body was accum- panied by acertificate of death made out in due form signed by Dr. Henry Haverlock.’’ The police took charge of the remains, and later it was ascertained thatthe body was that ot Nellie Martin, aged 20, and thatthe girl died from malpractice. Yesterday a young man named Lemuel McCloud, who has deen keeping company with the girl, was arrested. He claims that the girl came to him in her trouble for assistance; that he offered to send her to some refuge and pay her expenses until her child was Dorn naturally. He declares that though he sent herto Dr. Harper’s and made all ar- rangements for her stay there he is wholly in- nocent of any criminal intent, and was not re- sponsible for the girl’s condition. Harper was arrested lastnight. He claimed that he was Dr. Stanford and an assistant to Dr. Harper. The domestics who livein the house, how- ever, say that the prisoner is Dr. Harper and that they always knew him by that name. A PIONEER GONE, Death ef Rev. James W.

Legitime will continue to hold the capital of the Republic, while Gen. Hippolyte, leader of the Northern party, has been compelled to abandon his fortifica- tions near Port-au-Prince and has retreated tothe North. A decisive and bloody battle was foughta few days ago, not more than three miles from President Legitime’s palace. The loss was heavy on both sides, but ac- cording to the cablegram received yesterday from Port-au-Prince by Haytien Consu!-Gen- eral Desiandes, Hippolyte’s was the larger. Hippolyte has succeeded in marching bis army towards the southern part of Hayti, captur- ing little fortifications at different points along bis route and had gone into camp at Lacro!z- de-Koqguet, a vi eten miles due north from Port-au-Prince. e had about 10,000 men, fairly well equipped, including a small force of artillery, composed of gatiings and !:0 w!tz- ers. pitched about July 20, when pos Sars Any and his generais decided to send out-posts in the di lon of Port-au-lrince to ascertain, if possibib, the exact strength of the Southern army. The out-posts consisting of companies of infantry, reached Drouiliard, a bout three miles from Port-au-Prince, while the main foree,. under Gen. Hippolyte, continued to en camp life at-Lacroix-dé Roquet. Legitime called out his reserves, lu · cluding everybody able to carry a gun. Very many of his men were not uniformed. Com- panies were pushed to the front rapidly and daily skirmishes between the outposts of the two parties took place until the rainy season setin. Hippolyte knew that they could not remain incamp undi the end ef the season and decided to attack the capital. On the night of A t 6 he formed his army into three divisions which were to attack Fort au. Prince from as many sides.

Insurance Commissioner Ellerbe Iasues a Circular te the Mem bers—President Fags Says That the Association Will Pull Through for Ita Members Will Stand Be- hind It—The Causes of Its Embarrass- ment. The Farmers & Mechanics’ Mutual Aid Association of this city has been in a peck of trouble lately because the officers of the co-operative association have been too liberal with the members and becausethe associa- tion has enemies who are trying to injure it. There have been stories of several kinds about it: that it could not continue to exist, that it securities from that ite because of carelessness in admitting members, and that finally the members had refused to pay their assessments. To these stories there is a foundation of fact, but a fanciful structure had withdrawn all its the Insurance Commissioner, losses were excessive has been built upon that foundation. The as- sociation has been in debt and has had trouble with its members, but a committee of its members has made a report which, it is thought, will remedy all the difficulties agd erable the company to go ahead with its busi- ness and pay off ull its obligations. With reference to its withdrawalof the se- curities placed with the Commissioner, Mr. C. P. Ellerbe, the Commissioner, was seen. Mr. Ellerbe said: ‘‘It seems that there has been some wrangling amone the members of the company and they have fallen behind in their payments. We have some jurisdiction over these assessment companies, but not much. They came to me in May and wanted to with- draw some of their securities to meet unusual losses. The law permits them to do that at I refused to let them the end of six months. withdraw anything then, and they came again in July, when the six months had expired. They then withdrew $3,500. many letters from members of the association that I have issued this circular letter which I have sent out to them: THE CIRCULAR. Sr. Louis, July 9, 1889. DEAR SrrR—Yours of — at hand. It is of such similarity to scores of communications received at this office during the past few weeks, in that it is in effect an inguiry as to the condition of affairs in the farmers & Me- chanics’ Mutual Aid Association of this city, that I send vouthis general reply. With the internal dissensions of an insur- ance company this department has nothing to do. Ofthe morale of the means used by both or either of the sides to the controversy now going between the President and ex-employes the membership must judge for itself. »The association is behind in the settle- ment of its death loss account; by just exactly the amount of assessments which the charter of the association stipulates might have been demanded over the amount which was de- manded and collected. The directors, under the impression that a slight death rate might de easily met by assessments of a less amourt man the contracts of insurance permitted or rovided for, have during the past year called or about 45 cents per death instead of $1, collecting say $40,000 to $45,000 instead of $160,- 900. In doing this it appears that the error was one of judgment only. The actual death loss for the six months ending May 31, 1889, has been less than the expected loses by the American Tabie of Mortality and to that ex- tent, if the members had paid the full dollar for each cash call, their cost would have been less than the normal cost of the year’s insur- ance at their present ages. There is but one way for the association to get out of its present difficulty. Every mem- ber should recognize the fact that heisa partner, and that all others have a mutual interest with him in keeping the good name of the association intact. Its officers are onl the representatives of the members; an when they set before their principals the total amount of deficiency and each men:ber’s share, it should be promptly paid. No one can legally escape bylapsing his memoer- ship; and he is bound for his share at one dollarfor each certificate he holds for each death occurring prior to his withdrawal; and the law can compel the payment if invoked. „Whether the association can go on, or whether it must stop where it is, and leave unsettled a considerable amount of accrued losses, depends on the good willtowards one another—in behalf of the dead as well as the living—of the membership. „The ‘plan’ of the association does not seem to be well conceived. The actuary of this departmént has pointed out its defects in a communication written at my request, a copy of which has been,furnished the Presi- dent of the association. There appears to be no reason to doubt §the the integrity of the officers. What is wrong grows out of mistakes of method in prosecuting a misconceived business. Very respectfully, C. P. ELLERBE, Superintendent. JUDGE T. J. O. FAGG, the President of the association, was found at the office, in the Commercial Building, and asked for a statement concerning the condi- tion of the association. He readily gave it, and began by saying: ‘‘Our trouble began last spring when Mr. Fred. K. Doan, who had been our general magager for years, left the company without giving us any notice of his intention to leave until he had moved all his traps out ot the office. His brother was secretary then, but he was in Arizona look- ing after an frrigation scheme in which he was interested. Fred Doan, we learned, had pre- viously been employcd by the Covenant Mu- tual of Galesburg, III., and he went back to that company. After he left us he sentacircular letter to our members, tell- ing them that the company was in a bad con- dition. The reputation of a woman and an insurance organization are easily injured, and this circular frightened our timid members. They were afraid at first on account of it, and also because the association was in debt. We made full statement to the Insurance Department, and the only criticism that was passed upon us was that we had assessed too little. Each member is obliged to pay $1 for each death, but we only assessed 45 cents. If we had as- sessed the full amount or even 70 cents we would have been able to pay all our obliga- tions. We had a convention hére on Tuesday and fifty-two of the members were here. MR. J. W. ALEXANDER of Gallatin, Mo., was the chairman of a com- mittee that went over our books and that com- mittee reported that the company would be able to go ahead on a safe business basis if the members would pay up their assessments. We are $20,000 behind, but we have $50,000 of assessments which have not been made yet, 80 when we levy and collect them we will not be in a bad condition. Itbink the report of this committee will re-establish the confi- dence of the members in the association, and from this time forward we will have no trouble. We bave between 5,000 and 6,000 members in the State, and when they read the report of the committee they will pay their assessment e, I think. To- morrow is the day the assessments are due. They have been coming in very well, but we cannot tell until after to-morrow how we stand, This fs not like an insurance company, we don’t do business on acapital. As long as the members have confidence in the associa- tion we are all right, but if they stop paying of course the business stops. The whole trouble is that Doan has been trying to get our members, and the evidence of that is that extra inducements have been offered them to go Into the Galesburg ag tons oe hl . Has there been any laxity in the examina- tion of 1 for admission?“ No. e have been as careful as the old line companies.’’ eit is said that the withdrawal of some of the securities indicates that the association is in a bad condition. No. It only indicates that our death rate was unusually large during six months. We had eighty-one deaths during one year. In six months of that year we had an unusual u amber of deaths, but the actu of the Insur- ae Department states that for the whole year eighty-one deaths is below the figures of the American tables of mortality. No, the management has been careful, but the fight our ¢x-General Manager madée—and we had to dis- miss his brother—and the small assessments put us behind, but I think we will come out all right, for the members will stand by the Organization after reading the report of their committee.

Flack from her husband, James A. Flack, Sheriff of this county, was to-day, on her petition, an- nulled, and all the proceedings had before the Referee were set aside. An order to this et - fect was granted by Judge Bookstaver in the Court of Common Pleas, on the divorced woman’s petition. In her she stated that she had applied for a divorce, and learned ofthe granting of the decree from a newspaper reporter. Senjamin Wright, who was ostensibly her lawyer in the divorce pro- ceedings, came to court to-day represented ex Judge Van Vorst and his affidavit, whic was read, offered no opposition to the motion to dismiss the decree. His sworn statement was in effect that he had been induced to con- sent to act as Mrs. Flack’s attorney dy Joseph Meeks, an old friend, who presented him with an authorization so to act, signed b Lawyer A. Morrell, counsel to the Sheriff. He had, however, never been informed of the appointment of Meeks or any other person as referee, and was in entire ignorance of the granting of a deeree of divorce until he was made aware of it by newspaper reports. In annulling the decree, Judge Bookstaver—the same Judge who granted it—stated that the developments disclosed a most remarkable state of affairs. His decision was made as soon as argument was finished. E- Judge Fullerton appeared in court and made an effort to advance argument against the motion to annul the decree, but the court refused to recognize his claims to appear. The judg- ment of divorce was against his client, and Judge Bookstaver maintained that he could make no objection to its reversal. THE COUNTRY WEEK. Fifty-Nine Children Sent on Vacations This Morning. The Country Week sent off quite a lot of poor children this morning to spend a week away from the city, under the trees and in the open airoftne country. Fifty-two children were sent to Sparta, III., one to Oakdale and six to Upper Alton. On Friday fifty-two will go to Chesterfield. A good many who had spent their week in the country returned and were met at the depot by managers of the so- ciety who saw the little ones safely home. Four came in from Fair- fieid, III., eleven from Oakdale and six from Alton. The children were between 2 and 12 years ofage. Those who are on their way out seemed pleased with the prospect of a change and those who returned were pink and rosy, full of life and delighted with their vacation. The children who were sent out this morning were taken charge of by Mr. Grant Tilden, who is an active worker in the society. A SPECULATING PREACHER. Charged With Obtaining Property Under Faise Pretenses at Lamar, Mo. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aren. CaRTHAGE, Mo., August 18.—John A. Pool, a wealthy citizen of Lamar, was arrested on Fri- day laston a charge of obtaining property under false pretenses. His bail was fixed at $1,000 to appear to-day before Judge Buckbee in this city. Pool often officiates asa Baptist preacher, and as he goes round he keeps the loaning of money in mind. He sold a lot of cat- tle to W. D. McCurdy some time ago for! $250 and obtained a mortgage for the same. When the money became due McCurdy was unable to pay it, and as ee DP gegen eo to give him allthe time he needed if additional security was given, an additional mortgage of $200 was given. A few cays later Pool took pos- session of the whole, and it is to set aside this seizure that the arrest is made. A FARMER’S CRIMES, He Rebs a Neighbor and Kills an Officer Who Tries to Arrest Him. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., August 18.—Warrants were issued yesterday for Amel Goch, a farmer, who owns a farm in Bowen Township, Kent County, and his hired man named Chas. Brailey, for stealing twenty-five bushels of wheat from a neighboring farmer. Last evening Deputy Sherif W. J. Sinolair and his brother went to the farm to arrest the men. As they drove up to the house a shot was fired through the door from inside and D. A. Sinolair fell, mortally wounded, and afterwards died. The Deputy Sheriff returned the fire, killing the hired man. Goch skipped and has not yet been captured. Particulars of the affair are meager. ABOUT TOWN. A BLACK cutaway coat with vest to match, all valued at $25, has been stolen from the room of C. N. Matherson, 1409 Olive street. THIEVES entered the kitchen of Wm. Buss- meyer, 1001 Cass avenue, last Sunday morning and stole a set of single buggy harness, valued at $10. Tux residence of Chas E. Hallewell, 1510 Garrison avenue, was Intered by burglars yesterday afternoon and ransacked from top to bottom. Nothing of value was taken. RICHARD CONNELLY was arrested about 7 o’clock last evening and locked up at the Second District Station on suspicion of having stolen some gas-fitter’s tools, which he was trying to sellfor5 cents. The tools are at the station-house awaiting an owner. Murderer Anderson’s Insanity. William Anderson, the condemned wife- murderer who was respited on August 8 (twelve hours before the time set for his ex- ecution), until September 13, wrote a letter to his ‘attorney, Thomas B. Estep, this morning, which may develop points important in their bearing on the insanity theory. In the letter Anderson says that in the year 1883 he was confined for some time in the City Hospital with erysipelas ofthe head. His statement will be investi- gated. Should it be proven that the prisoner was affiicted with that disease a strong point will be raised in his favor. Celtic Guards. Avery large and enthusiastic meeting of the Celtic Guards was held last night at St. Pat- rick’s Hall, for the election of officers for the ensuing year which resulted in the election of the following well-known gentlemen: Very v.

They do not like to have a lot of new in- spectors, whose efficiency is questionable, supplant the old men who are known to be capable. They object to the Chief Inspector, who, they say, is not an expert. They. dis- like his announcement that only Demo- crats will be appointed to the positions of inspectors, and thoy are devidedly opposed to his chief assistant, Joseph O’ Shea, a lawyer of Union,Franklin County,who knows nothing of grain. Burke says that O’Shea has not been appointed, but the grain men say the place has been promised to him and that he will get it. The opposition to the new board is crystallizing, and the grain mén have already taken active steps towards limiting the powers of Burks by endeavoring to estab- lish a check on him. THE EAST SIDE ELEVATORS have been inspected by the Merchants’ Ex- change Board of Inspectors by the courtesy of the Illinoig East St. Louis Produce Exchange.

The Produce Exchange has always indorsed the inspectors appointed by the Merchants’ Exchange, and sothe Merchants’ Exchange has had control of the East Side in- spection. Jasper Burks’ inspectors could go to East St. Louisand inspect grain there if the receivers of grain would accept their in- spection, but the receivers do not want to do that, and they will not if they can get out of it. In order to get out of it they have drawn up a petition to the Board of Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange, asking that body to appoint C. McD. Robinson and T. L. Currie, two members of the present board, inspectors of the east side elevators. Robinson and Currie will be indorsed by the East St. Louis Produce — and also by the Grain Re- ceivers’ Association of St. Louls. They will then be the only inspectors of grain on the east side whose certificates the receivers will accept and if Burks puts inspectors over there the certificates issued by them will not be recognized. ROBINSON AND CURRIB are expert inspectors. They are known to be suck and all the receivers have confidence in them. \They have been se- lected because they are experts and in placing them on the east side of the river, indepen- dent of Burks, the receivers do not mean to antagonize Burks but simply to have two capable men in charge of one part of the bus- iness on whom they rely. They are afraid that if Burks’ men go to East St. Louis the next Illinois Legisiature may repeal the spe- cial act and place the East St. Louis elevators under the Illinois board rather than have them unperthe Missouri State Board of In- spectors. They want to guard against that and they also want to guard against having the entire inspection placedin the hands of men who are not qualified to grade grain. The East St. Louis Produce Exchange will certainly indorse Robinson and Currie if the Merchants’ Exchange appoints them. The receivers have petitioned the Board of Directors to appoint them, and the meeting of the Grain Receivers’ Association, which was held this afternoon, was called to take official action toward urging the Board of Directors to make the appointments. JOHN WARRERX, whois one of the large receivers, was seen this morning and asked what the object of the receivers was in preventing Burks from in- specting East side elevators. ‘‘Simply this,’’ he replied, to have a club to use on Burks if he tries to use one on us. We don’t want a lot of new men who know nothing about the business to come in here and take the inspec- tion of all the grain in this market out of the hands of the Merchants’ Exchange. We don’t know whether there will be a man on the whole board who will know anything about grain and we want to have some one who does on whom we may rely. If we can get the Ex- change to appoint Robinson and Currie to look after the elevators on the other side, then we can run our grain over there if things on this side don’t suit us. Age Burks’ board will be all right, and if it is it will be easy enough for us to make a change six months from now and let his men go over there, but we want to know something about them first. The grades on the other side will not be different from those on this side if Robinson and Currie are appointed. They will be just alike, but we will know that the men on the other side know the grades and know how to inspect the grain.’’ CHARLES W. ISAACS, President of the Advance elevator said: ‘‘I would like to see two of the old men retained on the other side. Itbink it would be a wise thing. I understand that theGrain Receivers’ Association will make a report on the matter and I think the Board of Directors will con- sider that report as the expression of the wish of the 22 trade and act according to it. I hope they will.““ THE LEGAL QUESTIONS. There are several legal questions involved in the grain inspection bill should its legality be inquired into by the courts. The reading of the billthree tithes has not been passed upon by the Supreme Court since the adoption of the present Constitution. It is claimed that the grain bill was read only once in full and twice by its titie in the Senate. The Merchants’ Exchange by its charter granted in 1865 by the Legislature is authorized to in- spect all the grain coming to the St. Louis market as well as that stored in elevators. The new law seeks to annul this provision. It is claimed by those who have examined the subject, that the in- spection of grain for the purpose of getting at its market value, is not a police regulation, hence cannot be treated as such by the Legis- lature, and that this authority to inspect cannot be divested of the Exchange under the guise of a olice power. he authority sought to be given the Circuit Courts to grant the elevators license is questioned. The authority to grant licenses by Circuit Courts is not authorized either by the Constitution orthe law defining their power and duties. This authority is vested in another branch of the Government. PROHIBITED BY THB CONSTITUTION. The act is said to be specific, and it applies to elevators of 30, 000 bushels capacity andover. Elevators of less capacity and e grain stored in them are exempt from the operation of the new act. Elevators with a capacity of 49,999 bushels or less can be erected all over the city and State and can be carried on without inspection. The grain dealers and millers are in favor of test- ing the constitutionality and legality of the law. The members en d in other , ocoupa- tions are indifferent in tne matter. That the law will be tested on the ints herein named and others there is no doubt. The term of office of the present Grain Inspectors will not expire until 1890. * are interested.

He was opposed by D. P. Grier, who stated that the grain rades of St. Louis had, by long experience and great expense, obtain a world-wide reputation, and that the consequences of these grades being altered by ignorant and inexperienced men would—be destructive to the St. Louis market. While maintaining that there seemed to be no likelihood of any at- tempt at antagon by the State Board,Grier held that it would be an act of folly to give up the control of the inspection of nearly one- half of the Krain Owned by St. Louis without any return, and while the personnel of the inspectors to be appoint- ed wasamatter of doubt. Should any at- tempt be made to overthrow the grades estab- lished, the speaker believed that every bushel of wheat could be sent across the river, where a proper control could be secured, A. T. Harlow and J. H. Teasdale made 78 * to the same effect, and on motion of W. Booth the meeting adjourned without action, subject to the call of the President, as it was deemed best to wait until the new in- spectors were appointed before the associa- tion was put on record. THE MONMOUTH PARK RACES. Beautifal Weather and a Good Track Draw a Big Crowd. NEw Tonk, August 18.—Beautiful weather ana the prospects of some good racing ina good track will probably draw a great crowd to Monmouth Park to-day, and moreover it is likely that the racing they will see will far eclipse that seen on Champion Day. For the Omnibus stakes the race will as- suredly be better than for the Champlon stakes when Firenzi made such a miserable exhibition of himself, and the 2- year-old event of to-day should prove just about as interesting as the Junior Champion, even though the value of the stakes is not nearly s0 great. For the great 3-yeur- old ‘event people, as a rule, are feeling quite as certain of seeing Salvator come home aneasy winner as they were about Firenzi and the Champion. There isno doubt that Mr. Haggin’s colt should **get there“ without fail, but as in the other race, it may prove another instance of the gran d uncertainty of racing. & the others Proctor Knott is a much improved colt, and may have returned to his last year’s Fu- turity form, but still, on the showing the two have made, and conditions of the treatment they have received, it will be a wonder if Sal- vator cannot beat Mr. Bryant’s colt without any great exertion. Veritas the Favorite. ROCHESTER, N. T., August 13.—The attend- ance at the Driving Park to-day was fair. The track was in good condition, having been worked continuously since last night’s rain. The weather is warm but cloudy. Veritas is selling as favorite in the Flour City $10,000 stake race. DAN AND THE UNKNOWN. A Bloody Fight ef Fifteen Rounds in a Stable on Pine Street. A fight occurred in a stable on Ninth and Pine streets last night which is said to be one of the most Interesting and vicious fisticuffs seen in this city for some time. Dan, an Irishman who pushes a handcart and has his stand on Ninth and Pine streets is said to be one of the principals. Yesterday evening he got into a wrangleon Pine street, opposite the stable at the corner of Ninth and came to biows. Some attache of the stable went over and asked the belligerents if they would not like a ring and sawdust floor in the stable and they said they would. A fing was pitched and seconds for each man were appointed, the proprietor acting as referee, Dan is a much older man than his antagonist, the painter, whom no one knew, but was more than a match for him. They went at it with bare knuckles and the blood flowed freely. Though an attempt was made to have the men fight a to rules they insisted on punching one another’ most beartily when down. When the men became winded they were separated to allow them to catch breath and this occurred fifteen times. The cause of the trouble was lost sight of in the endeavor to show who was the best man. Dan’s rugged knuckles clipped skin at almost every stroke until the unknown’s face looked like a raw steak. A crowd of over 500 people crowded in the stable and hung on to the window sills on all sides of the house. There was not a police- man in sight. After fighting a over an hour the men were separted. The painter was carried away hardly able to stand, while Dan’s ~— eye was closed tight. He was not badly hurt otherwise. To- day both men are confined in their respective houses. Dan is a character, and no one seems to know anything more about him than that he was a British soldier and fought at the siege of Sebastopol) and in the Federal army. Carondelet Jottings. A.

To-day was one of the dullest the Mining Exchange has jexperienced for a long time.

There isa firm belief that this property will soon come out asa good producer and take position as a payer. Aztec was also strong. As in the case of the Cleveland and Anchor, there is but little of this stock open to trading, aud transactions in it are not frequent. To-day 500 shares sold 8 . and there was a fair demand at about Pedro was lower and not given much atten- tion. At the start 600 shares sold at 10, and then 1,500 shares at 92 and 1,000 at 9. The weakness was apparent, but it was checked late by bids of 9 cents. Just what it was due to could not be learned. The reports from the mine continue to be good, and in a letter received from the superintendent that officer advocates the commencement of stoping. To- day action is to be taken on the matter ata meeting of the Board of Directors. * es Pine Grove was inclined to be weak, though the transactions were limited to 100 shares at 40 and 100 at 38% and that was bid. There was no special reason for this, as the situation at the mine continues the same. The only feature of the market and of the decline was in James MacGivitic bidding but 30 cents at the opening and then practically remaining out of the market either as a buyer or seller. 2 * Frisco attracted some attention, but not to any great extent. The transactions were only 90 shares at 20, with 20 bid and 22% asked. 2 Tourtelotte proved a great'dis appointment.

Hammond yesterday morning experi- mented with the ‘‘elixir of life’’ upon four patients. His drug was mixed from the glands of a sheep killed forty minutes before eriments were made. The liquid that the wine glass on the laboratory ta- ble was of about the consistency of water, limpid and opalescent, and had a pearly iri- descent look when held toward the light. Taking out of its satin case a small hypoder- mic syringe of thirty minims—about 3 acity, the doctor put the end of it e glass of elixir and, filled it full of the mixture. Then the needle-like nozzle was screwed into the syringeand the first subject There were four of them. No. 1 was a man 62 years old. He was a victim of muscular rheumatism of his left arm that prevented his raising it above his head; de- sides giving him a great deal of acute pain. His well arm was bared tothe elbow and the doctor with his left hand pinched up a bit of the skin between his thumb and forefinger and ran the needle of the syringe in under the skin ahaifinchorso. Then the piston of the syringe was pressed and of the elixir, was squirted into the rheumatic circulatory system.

Members of the House of Delegates who have been asked to explain their votes on the Branham gas ordinance have been in- clined to treat the subjectlightly. If they have not had the courage to defend their action they have given the flimsy and en- tirely unacceptable excuses that they paid no attention to it or thought it was all right or voted for it because it was certain that it would receive a majority. The confession that a legislator would vote for a bill placing the city under an enormous obligation without attention to it or without understanding it, or simply because others expected to vote for it, is a shameful confession. The guilt attaching to such careless neglect of the city’s in- terests is only short of the guilt of corrupt collusion with the promoters of the bill. But the bill is so preposterous in its pro- visions that unless the Delegates can offer far better explanations than these they must rest under the gravest suspicion of betraying the interests of the citizens. The acceptance of such a bill with a knowledge of its nature on the part of a city legislator almost forces a conviction of his corruption or imbecility. The least that can be said for it is that the measure is utterly unbusiness-like and would not be considered by a private business man for an instant. The ordinance is illegal because through it the city enters into a contract for public work without having secured bids or hav- ing ascertained the actual cost of the work contracted for or whether the sum agreed to be paid for it represents that cost or two, three or four times the cost. The contract itself is so monstrous in its discrimination against the city and in fa- vor of the contractors that it is inconceiv- able that city officiais could accept it with- out considerations which would induce them to legislate against the city instead of for it. It obligates the city to pay 5 per cent on an indebtedness of $4,500,000 during a term of thirty years for a gas plant with- out guarantee as to the cost of the plant or a single definite specification of the work except as to capacity. The specifi- cations given are so indefinite that the city may be compelled to go to great ex- pense to put the plan in working order. The city is compelled to maintain the works, make repairs and improvements, and having expended the large sums needed for this purpose to pay $4,500,000 for the plant at the end of thirty years. At this time the city will have paid $6, 750,- 000 in interest. In case the city does not choose to purchase the plant it is compelled to pay over to the company one-half the sinking fund, which is ex- pected to reach the purchasé price of the plant. This will give the contractors a bonus of $2,225,000, in addition to the in- terest anda valuable franchise, with the possession of the works for thirty years. The contractors are permitted also to mortgage the plant, and thus indirectly. saddle a debt of $4,500,000 on the city. These are the salient points of the bill, which forces the city to enter the business of gas production at enormous disadvan- tage, at atime when the use of gas for illumination is threatened by destructive competition, and under obligations which may bankrupt the city and render the beneficiaries of the measure millionaires at the city’s expense. The bill bears all the marks of the *‘broad and greasy hand of boodle.” * — — Tue chivalry that can find either honor ian duel as that which CALHOUN of the West Terminal Co. and WILLIAMSON of the Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus Rail- road fought the other night when it was too dark for either to hit a barn at the | distance they stood apart is of the childish kind which can be pleased with a rattle or tickled with a straw. They scared some owls, wounded some branches of trees and swore eternal friendship, each resolving that they wert a pair gf the bravest and most honorable men/live. They are both far behind the times if they imagine that public opinion in any part of this country regards sucha duel as anything but a fraud. The only result ofa formal duel that can satisfy modern public opinion is tee of good faith, and the hanging of the other as a guarantee that we live under a civilized government, able and willing to hang murderers. —————— ee . WIA SULLIVAN is arraigned before a Mississippi court for fighting a “‘fistio’’ duel on the soil of that State, Alabama cannot afford to let two high railroad officials fight a pistol duel on her soil and depart in peace to their homes in Georgia pursued by no requisition. The fact that they fought in the dark, on or near the State line, and that proof is wanting as to which side of the line they fought on, is no bar to their extradition, if they are indicted in Alabama. Their conviction will depend upon proof that one or the other stood upon the Ala- bama side during the shooting. But con- viction ts not a condition precedent to ex- tradition, and proof that they sought the State line with the intention of fighting in Alabama, to escape the penalties and | permanent disabilities they would have inourred in their own State, is sufficient tion unless ft should find them already or heroism in such a bloodless Pickwick- the death of one on the field asa guaran- ' for their indictment in Alabama.

To permit a few men to gouge the city out of millions on the plea that the consumers of gas are now being gouged is the worst kind of policy. 8 * 1 Tue failure to prepare for the Paris Ex- position a grand corn palace showing the uses to which corn may be put as food makes it all the more desirable that a splendid corn exhibit be made at our World's Fair.

Trusts Unlimited Partnerships. From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican. It may be of general local interest to state that legal opinion is now conforming to the view that trustees and holders of trust certi- ficates alike are unlimited partners, jointly and sévorally liable for all acts of the associa- tion. This would undoubtedly be the ruling of the courts in a suit for damages or debts or for criminal conspiracy. And in the eye of the common law as interpreted in Massachu- setts and in other States, the trustees of the trust and their partners, the holders of certi- ficates, are engaged in an unlawful'conspiracy to injure public trade, to insult public justice’’ and to wrongfully iujure the com- munity or classes of the community.’’ If the trust is not a corporation then it is doing busi- ness as a partnership, and trustees and the holders of their paper are in the same boat and pulling altogether intbe same direction Traveling on His Face. Philadelphia Press Washington Special. The three Assistant Postmasters-General, the Chief Post-Office Inspector and his eighty- five assistants and the Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service and his dozen assistants all have passes signed John Wanamaker’’ that enégitie them to ride free on all railroad, steamboat and stage lines which carry the United States mall; but the Postmaster-Gen- oral cannot issue one to himself, by and for himself, and so bas to pay if the train and steamboat and stage people refuse to take his word that he is the head of the Post-Office De- partment.

From the New York WoRLD. The Pennsylvanla principles’’ which tri- umphed in this election were succinctly stated in the letter from a Republican Sen- ator quoted by President Foster of the Repub- lican League, in his famous fat-frying circu- lar. If ‘‘the manufacturers of Pennsylvania,’’ wrote this Senator, who are more highly protected than anybody else, and who make large fortunes every year when the times are good, think they are ‘‘toreap the fruits of the tariff policy withont any deduction for political expenses, they are very greatly mis- taken. The ‘‘deductions’’ were made, the election was bought, and Quayism is on top. So the Railroad Commissioners Think. From the St. Joe Herald. In addition to the Chief Grain Inspector, under the law passed by tne last Legislature, there will be sixty deputies. About ten of these deputies will find employment in St. Louis; fifteen will Mave headquarters at Kansas City, and eight or ten will probabiy be stationed in St. Joseph. The grain grower will have to pay the fees of these inspectors, and the Herald predicts that betore the next Legislature meets there will be a loud cali for the repeal of the law. Itis only a device to make more offices for impecunious Demo- crats. : Halstead’s Blunder. From the New York WORLD. In Mr. Halstead’s eloquent address welcom- ing himself back to Oincinfiati he said that during his recent sojourn in Germany he had paid 8 cents a glass for water and yet had drank no beer in all that dry time. Here we have another example of the terrible indis- creetness of this man which the Senate laid up against him when he was up for confirmation as Minister to Germany. A Cincinnati poiiti- cian who will introduce himselt in this way to a water- tank and then admit it after he gets home must indeed bea very unsafe as well as an unwise man. MEN OF MARK, CHARLES A.

HE convention of representative men of the silver mining industry and of kindred interests, pro- posed by the Pos T- DISPATCH to be held in St. Louis atan early date may now be regarded as a ned fact. There is now scarcely a possibility of fail. ure. The com- mittee of fifteen appointed by the Mining Exchange with the Presi- dent and Vice- President added, metatthe residence of the Chairman, Mr. James Campbell, last night, and took action which renders the success of the movement almost certain. The meeting continued for nearly four hours and was one of the most earnest and harmonious ever held in any interest or enterprise in 86. Louis. Every member of the committee expressed an inclination to go to work and to do everything possible to forward the interests of the convention. In this there was notasingle exception. The matter has been freely disoussed by the individual mem- bers of the Mining Exchange, and they have all declared in favor of making an appropria- tion to carrg.the enterprise through to a suc- cessful issue. Recognizing this, a majority of the directors of the exchange present at last night’s meeting put the exchange down to pay all the preliminary expenses of the con- vention. The members ofthe exchange are so enthusiastic in the movement that, although a meeting of the directors had not been held on this special sublect, the directors had no hesitancy whatever in committing the ex- change to the preliminary expenses. And their example proved contagious with the other members of the committee. They went into the work with an earnestness rarely found in such a gathering. They did a grert deal of work and selected a local committes which could not be improved upon. When com- pleted by the Merchants’, Cotton, Real Estate and Mechanics’ Exchanges it will consist of 160 members. THE PRINCIPAL RESULT of last night’s meeting was the nomination and election of the following gentlemen as members of this Committee on Afrange- ments, from which a general chairman and sub-committees will be chosen by election: Gov.

Wernse thought it important that they should recognize the importance of arranging the plan for the convention, the number of deie- gates and the work to be — 1 Mr. Leon Goldman thought it was the spe- cial duty of the committee to fully establish Sense arom here tn as jatge mambers us, poe- min men um Bale Thee he would eave the scope of the tion to them. 4 Zullallz — 1 any discussion | a as e mn won ¥ regula thie and would confine itself to any lines laid down by e Soonldach aid not tak ie save able to n to silver - e the vé — 5 and Territo ‘ as well as „ De thought, w hg “the first | Re hea . eS Ly | organization of thé Seat EH — . * 2 THE cath ö free, W on 7 * tons or 80, 000,000 pounds.

Mr. Campbell thought that there should be 4 itation of the relations of the smelter mon, onl on friend M undes would result to the benefit of both. Mr. J. D. Abeles did not want to run any risk of antagonizing the smelter and the miner, but thought ere was a common ground on which they could barmonize to u. utual advantage. Mr. Mullally, taking up the question, said he had no doubt of it whatever, and spoke of s conversation he had had with Mr. Geo. Loker of the 81. Louis Smelting- works. Mr. Loxer, he said, emphasized the importance of the movement very strong: ly, explained the situation thoroughiy, and gave facts and figures showing that the in- terests of the smelter and the miner were identical. Mr. Loker, he said, was anxious to see the convention a success, and would work earnestly for it. Following this there was considerable dis- cussion as to the character of the ores, wet or dry, from different sections, and on its con- clusion the committee was CALLED TO ORDER and in c>mpleting its organization Mr. Albert Singer was elected as permanent Secretary. Mr. Mullally then moved that nominations be made for city members of a general com- mittee, the nominees to be voted upon and the electionsto be formal. This motion was carried unanimously after some taik as to limiting the number, and the gentiemen named above were chosen. It was remarked at the conclusion that the committee was one of thestrongest ever selected and was equal to the task of securing the World’s Fair for St. Louis. The other exchanges in the city were brought in on a motion made by Mr. Mullaliy that the Secretary be instructed to send re- orts of what had been done to the Merchants’, otton, Real Estate and Mechanics’ Ex- changes and to invite their ation and request them vint members of the general committee n the following proportion: Merchants’ Ex- Exchange, 10; Cotton Exchange, 7; Real Estate Exchange, 56; Mechanics’ Exchange, 3. These exchanges will be represented imme- diately, as their officers have already, through the Post-DISPATCH, expressed hearty co- operation in the movement, and their readi- ness to appoint committees and do everything in their power to assist it. On motion of Mr. Page McPnerson the Seo- rotary was also instructed to notify the elected members of the committee of their appointment, and to request that they ac- knowledge the receipt of the same and their acceptances of the offices tendered them. Then on motion the chairman and secretary were instructed to have stationery printed, with letter heads bearing the blank date, ‘*Office of the Secretary ofthe National Sliver Men's Convention.’’ Inthe same connection a committee of three was provided for to pre- pare a circular letter to the members of the general committee and to representatives of the silver mining and kindred industries. This committee, as . by Mr. J. D. Abeles, who had relieved Mr. Campbell of the chair, is Leon Goldman, J. W. Donaldson and H. H. Wernse. At the same time it was an- nounced that it would meet at Mr. Wernse’s office at 10:80 this morning. A PLACE OF MEETING for the general committee was then ‘eo and on motion a committee of three, essrs. J.J. Mullally, Page McPherson and J. H. Blessing, was appointed to make suitable ar- rangements. e Mining Exchange was men- tioned as the best place, andthe directors of the Exchange who were present said if it was selected they would putin electric lights and make special arrangements for the accommo- dation of the committee. The matter of appointing members of the General Committee from the mining districts and the different States and Territories of the Union then came up, and Mr. Campbell moved that a committee of seven be appointed to instruct the éecretary to draw up an address to suitable persons in the various business and mining centers of the country, requesting them to suggest the names of a certain num- ber of gentiemen to act as members of the General Committee of organization, and to — local committees to assist in the agi- tation. This motion brought out some very earnest discussion, but was finally passed as made by a unanimous vote. Mr. J. J, Mullally favored the selection of a member from each State, who should be chairman of the locai commit- tees of that State, but as the other members thought the distinct camps and districts were of sufficient importance to have separate rep- resentation he gracefully withdrew his amend- ment. The committee appointed on this ‘motion is J. J. Mullally, James Edwards, Jobn H. Blessing, H. H. Wernse, A. J. Weil, J. W. Donaldson and J. D. Abeles. On motion of Mr. H. H. Wernse the com- mittee then thanked Chairman James Camp bell for the elaborate entertainment he had given them, and then adjourned subject to the call of the chair. THE NOTIFICATIONS.

An Agent of the Fur Company Gives an Ace count of the Transactions of Past Years— Ore Sach Used in Passing the Skins Through the Custom-House—The Traffic URING yesterday evening Philip A. Greenwood of Boston arrived in the city rom Vancouver, W. T., and is stopping at the Southern. Mr. Greenwood has for the past three years been connected with the Alaska Seal Co., and is on his way to New York to consult with several of the officers. ‘‘In spite of all reports to the contrary,’’ Mr. Greenwood sald, ‘‘the number of seals in Alaka and on the Aleu- tian Islands has been ficreasing for several years past, and the number now in our waters is larger than it has been since 1880. We cannot show anything like the quantity that existed at the time of the Russian cession, and for several years thereafter, but matters are improving, and in a few years, unless some unexpected change of policy takes place, the coasts will be as densely populated with seals as they have ever been. SEALSKINS IN ORESACKS. »The reason for this increase is the great care that has been taken to preserve the seals. At first, it must be admitted, poaching, Killing out of season, and destroying more than the number of seals allowed by law, was looked upon very lenientiy by the representatives of the leasing company, and a great majority of the skins surreptitiously obtained found their way tothe company’s Warehouses and were paid for with company funds. There was some difficulty in getting the skins to the United States without letting the fact be known that the law was being violated. The miners came to our assistance, and by their ald we é@ucceeded in running hundreds of thousands through the cordon of United States officials at the United States ports. The mode of procedure was to place tightly packed bales of sealskins in the hold of an ore vessel, and cover them with old sacks. For the priv- lege of doing this the Alaska Co,, or at least its employes, paid the wages of the crew and the expenses of the vessel. In the early days of mining, when those engaged in working the quartz veins were very inadequately sup- plied with capital, to be relieved of the ex- ense of transportation was a very important tem, and they were more than willing to co- operate with the skin smugglers. On arriving at an American port,generaily San Fran- the papers of the ship would shown, stating that so 83 and so many tons of sacked ore were on board. Sealskine occupy only a small amount of space and many thousand dollars’ worth of furs could be carried without perceptibly in- creasing the bulk of the cargo. TRICKS OF THE SMUGGLERS. „When the vessel was being unloaded, some time would oe chosen, pe early in the morning or late in the evening, for taking out the packages of furs, and they would imme- diately be conveyed to some warehouse re- mote from the wharves. This once done, there was no further danger to be appre- hended and the skins could be sent off tc England for dyeing, without fear of any interference on the part of officere of the law. When extra precautions were to be taken, the skins were packed in small parcels each bundle placed in an ore sack and covered with quartz. In this case detection was prac- tically impossible unless every sack was opened and examined. The amount of this smuggling can never be known, as no ac- counts were kept, but to say that half a miliion skins have been surreptitiously sent to England by this scheme is much below the mark. That the Seal company was itself involved in this illicit trafile to any extent is not delleved, but that its agents thus enriched themselves unrebuked is well known to all who havé anything to do with the business. At the present time, however, this kind of snuggling is practically unknown. The ter- rible dimunition in the number of seals found on the Island where they previously bad been found in the greatest quantities, aroused the attention of the officers, and steps were taken to put a stop to illicit killing. Several patrol boats were engaged, the assistance of the na- val officers on the Alaska station was in- voked, a rigid inspection of the receipts at the curing grounds was instituted and ina year or two the smuggling trade, at least as far as the company s oflicers are concerned, came to an end. ILLICIT KILLING STOPPED. „This accounts for the large number of resig- nations that took place five or six years Ago. No prosectition was contemplated or even threatened, but scores of men saw thatin future they would hav content themselves with their salaries and were unwilling to sub- mit to exile for their bare pay. The — K of putting a stop to this Official poaching were at once felt. Within two years the number of young seals had nearly doubled, and the islands which had been nearly ater ped of animal life, were again covered by the bushing seals. This is the case atthe present time. The seals ae steadily incréasing, and if the same system of rigid exclusion of un⸗ autho hunters is kept up, the Aleu- tians will soon contain more than they ever did before. The sea otter, lam very sorry to say has almost disappeared, and it is doubt- fu if it can ever recover from the ruthiess siaughter which was inflicted “pee this most valuable of all fur-béeating sea lite. But the seals have not been by any means irretrieva- biy injured, and will soon be found in.as areat A yoy! as when we first obtained possés- sion of the country.’’ cisco, be In ten easy joining the large class of readers of tbe SUN- DAY Post- DisPatou. A BEMARKABLE RELIGIOUS CRAZE. Three Negroes Enter a Fiery Furnace at the Bidding of a Prophet.“ BIRMINGHAM, Ala., August 13.—The most re- markable religious craze pervades the hegroes near Bessemer, and the country Intermediate between that rapidly growing place and Bir- mingham.

Sheriff John Henry Pohlman’s Fantastic Toes as Disturbing Elements in a Politi- cal Orgauization—Prizes for Dancing at the Kensington Gardens Pienic on Sun day Claimed by F. J. Meledy. HERE will be a meeting of the Irish-American Club at Lightstone’s Hall to-morrow night, and, if some members are to be believed, this wil be the last meeting of the organization, The rock upon which this interesting polit- 2 ical organization will proba- bly split is the dancing of Sheriff John Henry Pobiman. Formidable as Mr. Pohiman has been in ward politics, great as are his staying powers in a fight for supremacy in the politics of his section of the city, and strong as he is and has been in supporting Chauncey I. Filley, he swings the lightest of toes devoted to the pit-a-pat of Terpsichore. His form is slight and willowy, his waist small and supple, his legs long, muscular and trained to agile movement. Age has seamed his face, night caucuses have dimmed his eyes, his hair is graying—but his soul and his legs are young. A patron of the light fantastic from his youth he has, LIKE THE ETERNAL BALLET GIRL retained the vigor and adroitness essential to a contestant for waltzing honors. N On Sunday afternoon Sheriff Pohlmann took his qualifications to Kensington Gardens, where the Irish-American Club was having a picnic. As Sheriff he was well TKelved by the promoters of the enterprise, and when he@ entered a waltzing con- test for a go'd-headed cane donated by Wm. P. Smythe he was loudly cheered. P. J. Meledy, Chairman of the Music Committee; George Smith, James Kilfoy, Robert E. Lee and an unknown entered ss John L. Sullivan, were also contestants., The band played until it was tired cothpletely out, and when it ceased tLe President of the club, Charies Fox, rose to beste the prize. Lee, Smith, Kilfoy and ‘*Sulitvan’’ had fallen out of the contest, only the dainty-stepping Sheriff and Chairman Meledy remaining to the end. They were equal in endurance—that was plain. Which was the superior in grace? THE SHERIFF’S DANCING had been after the German style; daintily footed but dignified—a melody of move ment. The chairman’s patent leathers were mighty easy on the flooring, but there was a Vigor and fire about his move- ment that proved him a scion of the Green Isle. The work of both had been excellent and it seemed that a decision must be based upon the merits of the schools they repre- sented. When the music ceased President Charles Fox rose to bestow the prize. There was a hush and then with the voluble eulogy that comes so easily from the Irish tongue, the cane was presented to Sheriff Pohiman. Perhaps the ane was not transferred. Indeed it does not seemed to have ever reached the hands of the Sheriff, butit was awarded to him. Meledy got it and still retains possession of it. Meledy was indignant. By what authority did President Fox present the cane; by what authority did President Fox presume to pass upon his merits asadancer? Let President Fox stick to his work as President and let those that had the right to judge pass upon the dancing. He, Meledv, as chairman of the Committee on Music, had appointed as THE COMMITTER ON DANCING Michael Jordan and until Michael Jordan, who, though 87 years old. was no slouch at dancing himself, should decide the cane would belong to no one. At every sentence of his protest, and at corresponding times when he became incoherent through rage, Meledy pounded the floor with the cane until—snap! went the stick, and the dancer had in his hands two fragments of a handsome cane. By and by another dancing contest came On—ajig. There were three contestants for this, Meledy, Alfred Woods and one other. The contest was between Meledy and Wooas. Their feet few gracefully through the thou- sand ateps until tne spectators became excited and yelled their approval. **Hurranh for the man with the white pants!“ cried one and the crowd cheered. Who was the man with the white trousers? Meledy. Hesmiled, and the good humor pervaded his legs like an injection of Brown-Sequard elixir. Faster and faster went the nimble toes; wore wonderful the steps, more grace- ful the moyements. At last the dancing was over and Meledy Knew he had WON THE PRIZE ow oftrousers donated by a Broadway tailor. What was his chagrin to learn latgr that Mr. McGill, who had the authority to issue the or- der for the prize to the winner, had given it to Woods. Michael Jordan said Meledy had won it. The crowd had cheered the man with the white pants.’’ Andthe prize had been given to another. Contests over the awards of other prizes arose, and the rivals almost came to biows. Meledy had secured thecane. Hecould not secure the order for the trousers, but early — morning he notified the tailor not to onor it. : Later Woods called with the order and was told what Meledy had said. He found the uslo Committee chairman near by and ‘‘jumped him“ figura- tively. Hugh O’ Niel, Chief of Detectives, saw the jiggers punching each other’s heads and separated them. He called for police, but the men were allowed to goin peace. IN THE MELEE Meledy had seeured and destroyed the order on the tailor. The two dancing prizes were destroyed. But the row does not end there. I' gO to the meeting to-morrow night,’’ says Meledy, ‘*and 'n give them the cane todo what they like with. But never again will I have any- thing to do with the Irish-American Club.’’ Itis not to be wondered that the Ohair- man has his friends and it is also true the Sheriff has friends in the club. The factions are warm over the incident of the contest and tnreats of ex- vision are hurled from one side to another. t remains to be seen which side has the ower, one age far the cooler heads can in- uence th ctions. But the probability is that thé usefulnéss of the Irish- American Club of Missouri is at an end. SHERIFF POHLMAN Sheriff Pohiman is not so indignant as are bis friends. He consigns the cane to infernal 8 one, and inquires: ‘‘What do I want with it I — not fight for it. The I the fights amon Meledy has no right to the cane, though, as he yr tee six times during the dancing. The lady I danced with, Miss Hoffman, got the bonnet which was offered for the best lady dancer and I was awarded the cane. But Meledy can have tne pieces.

The Colored Baptist Church Destroyed This Morning—A Queer Scene. At 2 o’clock this morning the Colored Bap- tist Church of this place was destroyed bv fire. Directly east of the church on Shady avenue are a number of negro cabins, closely crowded together in narrow yards, and fora time it seemed almost certain that the fire would sweep the entire colored settlement away. The excitement was intense and the thoroughly frightened negro dames would run here and there, turning their white eyes heavenward with an appealing ‘‘Lord! Lord!’’ so pain- fully suggestive of the judgment day that the smaller pickaninnies stood round in little groups hushed and awed by the solemn scene and awful sounds. Several times the house next to the church was seen ablaze, but the ever watchful bucket brigade succeeded in 1 it out, although the heat was intense. Last Saturday night there was a honey fes- tival and dance a little to the west of the church and the festivities were prolonged till 4o0’clock Sunday morning.

What the City Has to Recommend 1 Beautiful Situation on the Neosho River —Advantages of the Tributary Country — Railroads and Other Modern Improve- mentsg—What the City Wants. Special Correspondence of the Posr-Disraron. Osweeo, Ka., August 10.—Here is a city with a true Western boom on. It lays no claims to antique attractions. Its history is not interwoven with the revolution, nor does it even bristle with incidents of the days when Senator Atohison’s Blue Lodges from Missouri voted in Kansas elections. Oswego at its very oldest can only claim 49 years of existence, But the site isa good one, the land about itis fertile, the peopleare enterprising, and now it has grap- pling hooks on a large size boom. From 1840 tothe breaking out ofthe war it was only an Indian trading post. Afterthe war of the, thousands of soldiers who went out to Kan- sas for the beginning of a new ite many stopped at the Indian post on the banks of the Neosho. That was really the beginning of the settlement. It grew house by house and man by man untilit isnow avery considera- dle place. From the crown of the bluff, 100 feet above the river, this beautiful city commands ex- tended and inapiring views of a country as fair as ever lay in the Western sunshine. Be- low the city to the east and south are Horse- shoe Lake and the preserves of the Oswego Gun Club, — 1 them to the southward, the river and valley and woodlands drift away into the dim perspective, and ARE LOST TO THE VISION in the glowing landscapes of the Indian Ter- ritory. Beyond the river and valley to the eastward a magnificent open prairie country reaches away to the Missouri border. To the nortoward the nobletriver takes its windin way up the broad valley, through leagues o royal wheat fields, meadow and corn land, and to the westward, beyond the pretty valley of the Labette, a splendid billowy prairie country rolls away tothe blue Mont- 2 hills. Wild, wooded, picturesque luffs, canyons and lens, with 1 wealth of mative woodlands, coursed | by the clear, winding Neosho on the one handand onthe other the finest suburban orchards, vineyards, gardens and drives, lend an air of geen 4 and scenic beauty to a situation which any other city in Kansas mightenvy, This charming location is further enhanced by the admirable patural drainage afforded by frequent draws and ra- vines, and from endto end the beautiful tree- embowered city, with its broad well lald streets and avenues, delightful parks and ele- gant homes, admirably set in ample, well- shaded blue grass lawns, has an air of ampli- tude, leisure, general attractiveness and comfortable home life, quite unknown to the typical Western town. he location. is alike BEAGIJIEUL AND ATTRACTIVE. A full hun a feet above the clear. swift waters of the river, 915 feet above tide- water, and environed with a farm country of incom- parable beauty and fertility, the fortunate denizens of Oswego know littie of the ills and discomforts of the lowland and plain cities, and many felicitate themselves upon a loca- tion and surroundings that fall to the lot of few Western towns. Among other salient features of the city are its daily and three weekly newspapers, three banks, two flouring mille, fine water power, two trunk railroads, two parks, admirable pubiic schools and fine school-houses, the Court- house, ite Young Ladies’ College, the Fair Grounds and Driving Park, its fraternities, dramatic, literary, social and religi us so- cieties, half a dozen churches, fine water- works and electric light plants, its gun club, cornet band, fine showing of business houses, elegant homes, refined social life, and last, but not least, its Immigration and Improve- ment Association, which has now well in hand measures for the substantial advancement of the city in wealth, commerce and industry. The city, which really dates back only to 1867, when it was made THE CAPITAL OF THE COUNTY, has now a population of 4,500, and is not only the most ‘‘beautiful for situation,’’ but is the wealthiest city of its olass ln the Sunflower State. Itis solidly built, admirably platted, and is central toatributary country essen- tially its own, and broad and rich enough to support a city of 100,000 souls. From a commercial and industrial standpoint, it has strategic importance of no com- mon significance. t is 150 miles south of Kansas City, 150 miles southeast of Wichita, 860 miles southwest of St. Louis, 150 miles noithwest of Fort Smith, and 200 miles north of Texas, withinadozen miles of the Indian Territory, and within all this splendid radius is notasingle city that can success- fully rival it in industrial and commercial ad vantages. It has a splendid water power, improved with a massive dam, invoiving the full volume of the Neosho River with a strong water-head, which the 8 of capital, skill for the r ot mils tac - tories. It has the finest building stones in this part of the State, either for building or flagging, and its brick yards can furnish an iilimitable supply of the best brick made west ot the Missouri River. It has freand potter’s clays and hydraulic cement of the best qual- ity and in endless quantity. ALONG THE RIVER BLUFFS, under the city, in the neighboring gulches and ravines, and out in all the tributary country, isanample supply of coal, of the very best ae tor manufacturing, and it is mined and elivered at almost nominal cost. The neigh- boring forests abound inthe finest timber for commercial and manufacturing uses. Only five and six hours distant by rail, in Missouri and Arkansas, are inexhaustible deposits of mon, antimony and manganese, and vast for- este of bard pine, oak, cypress, walnut and other woods. There is no better location in Kan- sas for the building and operation of half a doz- en other miils of equal capacity. Oswego is a capital trading town, ranking, in this respect, with the best cities of ite class in Kansas. It is backed by one ofthe best farm regions in the West, and has haifa hundred strong, solvent, solid business men of sterling char- acter, ability and credit, who are well trained in the best commercial methode, who have made 90 per cent of their capital on the spot in legitimate trade. ‘ THE YEARLY TRADE of the city closely X 382,000, 000, and is steadily increasing. The export trade in mill stuffs, fruits, garden products, poul- try products, coarse grains, gh npr ged heavy and rapidly increasing. e rapid ex- tension ofthe suburban gardens, fruit vards and orchards, and the growing demand for this class of local products, whieh are much superior in quality to the fruits and vege- tables of California, naturally suggest the early establishment here of extensive evaporators and canvuing-works tor preserving, packin and shipping these commodities fo al parts of the country, an industry that is proving of almost incalculable value to scores of Eastern and Pacific Slope towns. The banking facilities of the city are exeeptionaily good, the three local banks having an aggre- gate cash capita) and surpius of 000, to which may be added a good amoun of avail. able capital in the hands of mien who loan largely on personal securities. THE MISSUURI PACIFIO is here by one of its leased lines, the Missouri Kansas exas Railway, and the St. Louis & San Francisco also reaches Oswego. There are prospects of other roads, and even now the town is reaping the advantages of com- petition. Riverside Park, fifty acres in extent, and lying between the city and the river, is a pictufesque retreat, abounding in wild wooded guiches, canyons and giens, rocky eli headiands and caverns, rocky springs brook ets, and a profusion of wild vines, wild flowers, and is by a nest natural park in Kan- as. It opens out on the — rd i e wildest of canyons, lying in the shadows of the t bluff and headland.

BEN FINNEY’S ACCIDENT, A Great Commotion on Board a Ship When the Tourist Shed Mise Trousers. A well-known man about town received a letter this morning from Joseph H. Tiernan, now in Paris, inclosing a clipping from a Bel- fast, Ireland, newspaper. It willbe remem- bered that a party composed of Ben Finney, Joseph H. Tiernan, Ashley C. Clover, and John W. Parle, left for Europe about six weeks ago and on their departure it was said something was going to happen in Europe on their arrival. It did Dappén according to the clippings and was quite a joke. It seems Ben Finney bought a new pair of pantsin Belfast, and it being arule of his never to own more than one pair of trousers at atime he decided to do away with his old trousers on shipboard and feed them to the sharks. When out some distance from land he shied the discarded trousers through a port hole and did not expect to see them again. He was disappointed inthis as the trousers, as soon as they caught the air, spread out and dived into the deep. A lady passenger saw them just as — struck the water and let out a series of shrieks of man overboard.’’ All was commotion on board in asevond.'The ship was brought to and a painter dropped into the water with two meninit. They rowed r desparately to the dark spot where the broad expanse of the trousers seat floated like a small balloon and yanked it out with a boat hook. n or the ship looking very blue. Mr. nney had gone on deck and blanched and pale awaited the rescue. The pants were hoisted tothe deck, and on see- ing them he started for the gangway. It was too late. Inatwinkling every eye on deck swept over the legs of the passengers and located the newest pair of trousers waddling down the gangway. Mr. Finney, it is said, oe not seen again on deck nor at the dinner ta 6. SILVER TEASPOONS $5 to $12 per set a- MERMOD & JACCARD’S, BROADWAY AND LOOUST STREET. At the Summer Gardena.

New York, August 13. >» HE Omnibus stakes — at one mile and a half Will be the event at Monmouth Park to- day, and it promises to be the three-year- old race of the year. Mr. Haggin’s colt, Salvator, will carry the top weight, 125 pounds; Mr. Cassatt’s colt, Eric, will run with two pounds less; Sam Bryant’s gelding, Proctor Knott, will: start with 120; Dwyer Bros.’ colt, Longstreet, isin with 118; Oapt. Sam Brown’s fast colt, Buddhist, who won the Preakness stakes at Baltimore in a canter from Japhel (his only opponent), is well in at 118 pounds, and Mr. Blunt’s fast colt, Seymour, will carry the same weight. The Lioness and Tomboy are the other starters. The track is dry and in better con- dition than it has been for weeks and the bat- tle for the stakes will be well worth going to see. Salvator, Buddhist and Proctor Knott will probably catch the eyes of the judges at the finish in the order named. Criterion stakes, for ?2-year-olds, three- quarters of a mile, will bring out the fast ju- veniles, Devotee, Padisha, Chieftain, Star- light, Burlington and six others. Devotee will carry 122 pounds and Padisha 120. Chief- tain, who is in with the light weight of 108 pounds, stands a good chance of crossing the winning line in the lead, pressed by Padisha. The opening dash of three-fourths of a mile has a field of thirteen lively sprinters, of which Britannic, with 124 pounds, will prob- obly reach home first, with Volunteer in seo- ond place. The third race, a free handicap at a mile and a furiong, has filled with eleven horses that will make a clinking race, in which Dwyers’ Larchmont will probably be at the front at the finish. The) selling race at five furlongs also has eleven named as starters. The race will be 32 Banner Bearer and Grenadier prob- ably when the shouting comes. Five well-bred youngsters will join in the sixth and last race, adash of three-fourths of a mile. Of the five the Maxim colt and Heathen are most likely to head the line as named at the finish.

The Columbus Club arrived here this morn- ing from Kansas City, where they lost three games tothe Cowboys. They think they have been in hard luck merely and expectto take atleast one game from the Browns, despite the fact that the champions just defeated the Brooklyn three straight. Columbus plays here to-day, to-morrow and Thursday and will be followed by the Athletics, who make their appearance Saturday and also play Sun- day and Tuesday. Yesterday’s Game. Chamberlain pitched one of the most re- markable games of the season yesterday against the Brooklyns, shutting them out by a score ofllto0. It was their third consecu- tive defeat, and gives the Browns an excellent lead in the championship rece. Until the sixthinning no Brooklyn player reached first base. Visner then got to that bag ona little scratch hit. The ball struck on to of the dat and fell safe! just 4 bac of third. Visner got no further, however. In the eighth inning the same Drooklyn player hit u ground bali just out of Comis- ey sreach and again reached first. Visner reached second on McCarthy’s wild throw-in to Comiskey. This was the only error charged againstthe Brown. The only hits secured by Brooklyn were the two made by Visner, and not a man reached base except in the sixth and eighth innings, and they only had twenty-nine men at the bat in the entire game. Sweeney, the new third baseman of the Browns, shared thejhonors of the gamefwith Chamber- lain and the crowd applauded and cheered him every time he came to the bat. He made a couple of fine running catches and one very good stop and batted flercely. He made a double and a single and hit another ball that would ordinarily have been a base hit, but Smith made a phenomenal stop of it, and then threw very wild to first, letting Comiskey, who was on third, score. Sweeney himseif reached third. His batting was in strange contrast to Latham’s. Instead of striking out, he never made a strike during the game, but hit the ball freely and hard every time he struck atit. He seems to have no difficult whatever in batting. Caruthers was hit alt over the fleld—singles, doubies and triples by the Browns following each other in rapid suc- cession. Seventeen hits, for a total of twenty- seven bases, was made off him, against the two singles secured off Chamberlain. Milli- gan for St. Louis and Visner forthe Brooklyns were the batteries. Nine ofthe home team’s runs were earned, the Brooklyns making but two errors and the Browns but one. The Baltimores won at Cincinnati by a score ot 7 to 6.

Diamond Chips. ; McCartby made a grand catch in right cen- Fuller's work at short yesterday was of the phenomenal order. Chamberlain has been doing magnificent work for the Browns. The Brooklyns insisted on three straight and they got them, only they were defeats instead of victories. There will be no more dodging hot balls at third base now. The Browns have a man who is not afraid of his fingers. In the League yesterday, the four Western clubs were defeated on their home grounds by the Eastern representatives. Latham has always been noted as a grand- stand player. In future ‘he will confine his playing exclusively to the grand-stand. Old Jack Milligan did not have much to say, but every time his assistance was meeded either at or behind the bat he was there. Considering that they have been minus the services of the only Latham, the Browns have made a very creditable stand against Brook- lyn in the last two games. O'Neill played a great game in left fleld yes- terday and batted with all his old time vigor. He made one splendid catch in left center and seemed to be all over the field. The good people of Brooklyn are getting out telescopes to viewthe pennant. It has moved so far west inthe last few days that it is no longer visible to the naked eye at the City of Churches. It must have made Caruthers very sad to see how his old associates so cruelly pounded his delivery, which in times gone by had assisted themtowin many a game. It was indeed heartless and ungrateful. Sweeney has made four hits in the two games played by him. Latham only made that many hits in the last seven games he played and made but six hits in the last twelve games. Besides he struck outa number of times, while Sweeney bas bit the bali hard every time he has been at the bat except once, when he was given his base by being hit with a pitched ball. There is one thing about Comiskey, re- marked Bushong, ‘‘and that is his men never dissipate under him. When I was with the nine they did not want to do so either. was so chock full of ambition to win that pen nant that be did not think of dissipating. And _ they all have a good time under Comiskey. e keeps them inspired with that ambition to win all the time, and they seek their pleasures in other ways besides dissipation.’’ Amateur Nines.

A Strict Watch Kept Over the Murderers to Hang on the 23d Inst.—Precaations Against Suicide or Escape—Some of the Men Hopetul of a Commutation—New Evidence Discovered. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. NEw YORK, August 13.—In accordance with law and custom the Sheriff to-day assumed personal custody and control of Patrick Packenham, James Nolan, Charles Giblin, Frederick Carolin and Jobn Lewis, the five murderers now under sentence to be executed August 23. The statutes provide that the Sher- t ot a county in which an execution shall take place must take the prisoner under death sentence into his own custody for the entire ten days preceding the day fixed for the final punishment. During these days the Sheriff shall hold and i restrain the condemned men and take every precaution to prevent their escape or any at- tempt atsuicide. He is required to keep a strict and continuous watch upon them and hold the five until the hour when he is to ex- ecute the sentence by judicially strangling them on the gallows. This is the first of the ten days yet left of life to these men and all the necessary precautions were taken pre- paratory to the Sheriff assuming his charge. At7o’tlock this morning Under Sheriff Saxton entered the Tombs, accompanied by two of hia deputies. They were met by Warden Os- borne of the Tombs prison, who bas just re- turned from a sick furlough in order to fulfill his function on this occasion. The five suits of clothes for which thé five prisoners were measured last week were then handed to their respective owners, together with a complete outfit of underclothing. Each man was required to strip in the pres- ence of the under Sheriff and put onthe new apparel, and was then marched to the apartments especially arranged for the death watch inthe northern corridor of the new prison. None of the men was permitted to take with him anything beyond books or trifling persona) effects, for the Sheriff being responsible for their safe keeping will omit no precaution to secure that end. As soon as all fle had gone through this pro- ceeding and they were housed in the waiting chamber the death watch was formally set upon them, never to be relaxed until they are marched to the gallows. Ten deputy sheriffs were selected for this arduous and un- pleasant duty. Lawrence Delmore and James Carraher went on’. first at 8 o’clock, being relieved at 4 o’clock by Patrick Fitzgerald and Peter McGinniss, who at midnight will be succeeded by Daniel Doh. erty and Patrick Doonan. To-morrow the first tour willbe filled by John Osborne and Gordon Hay and the second by Geo. Weaver and Wm. Van Howton. At midnight the list will begin over again, so that the last tour from midnight on Thursday, August 12, until, after the execution will fall to Deputies Weaver and Van Howton. These men will be required to maintain a vigilant and untiring scrutiny of the prisoners, the rules laid down by the Sheriff being STRICTLY ENFORCED. Though the food intended for the con- demned is specially prepared in the 322 kitchen, it must be carefully examined by the watch and in some instances the cook may be compelled to taste the dishes before they pass, for the law, having condemned these men to death on acertain date, is jealous that its mandate shall not be evaded or forestalied. With the exception of Packenham, who has no hope of pardon or commutation of sen- tence, none of the men seem to think that they will be hanged. Carolin and Giblin are buoyed up by the expectation that their counsel will be successful in obtaining for them a new trial, while Nolan and Lewis ap- goer to count on the mercy of Goy. Hill. ben adoubt is expressed they point to the fact that Adolph Reich was in the hands of the Sheriff’s watch for a week, yet he was finally reprieved, and so they cling to this last hope. A month ago it was just the same and though day after day is rapidly siipping away, four of the five look forward to an escape from the hangman’s noose. Now all they can hope for is a life term in prison and such a fate would be met with happiness, for life is sweet—even to them. If the courts or the Governor do not inter- fere there will betwo gallows erected in the old execution corner. The gallows that has served its purpose at the Tombs for many years will receive three of the condemned, and opposite ita new frame will be placed for the othertwo. Joe Atkinson will officiate as hangman, and is already busily engaged in perfecting HIS HIDEOUS APPARATUS. As the sentence must be carried out it is well to have aman of experience to conduct the details in order toinsure celerity at the last scene. But the coolness of this pro- fessional executioner is amazing to those who are not blunted by prison rou- tine and discipline. To Atkinson it is a mat- ter of mechanical science, no more or less. No visitors will be admitted tothe Tombs on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of next week, for then the gallows will be placed in position. Only the priests and ministers who are attending the men under Coom will be ex- cepted from this rule. So much forthe prep- | arations for death. Asto the possibilities of the condemned escaping it, Judge Ingraham yesterday granted an order on the motion Howe 4 re- to ot allen, that there was no revolver In the 8 except the one Gibliin brought there on the fatal night.

Then Mrs. Goetz, Maggie Goetz, Valentine Goetz, Tony Schwab and finally Nicholas Goetz all seized him and pounded and kicked him. Giblin cried out: For God's sake, don’t kill me; keep the bill if you want to.“ She then saw Valentine draw a pistol from his breast. Giblin knocked it from his hand and then there was a struggle onthe floor. Giblin secured it, and while the crowd was still beating him, fired several shots. The story corroborates Giblin’s for- mer statements to some extent aud is looked upon as important. The girl was not a witness in the trial and her knowledge of the affair Was not known until after the trial and con- viction of Giblin. Jos, F. Moss, counsel for Lewis, will submit to Gov.

GOV. LARRABEER’S FINE FIGURING IN THE GUBERNATORIAL CONTEST. Hull Still Maintains a Lead—‘‘farmer’’ Wheeler’s Chances in the Race—Railroad Influence in the Canvass—Senator Alli- son’s Friends Alarmed—The Dubuque Statesman’s Missien to Des Moeines— What the Democrats of the Hawkeye State Are Doing. Special Correspondence of the PosT-DISPATCH. DES MOINES, Io., August 10. HE contest for the Re- " publican nomination for Governor in- creases as the date of the nominating con. vention approaches. Nearly all the County Conventions will be _. held this week, but of uninstructed delegates and the spirit of independence of the party bosses manifested among the accredited representatives of the party indicate that the winning candidate must depend for success largely upon skillful handling of his forces upon the floor of the convention. There is but little doubt that Hull will lead in the early stages of the balloting, and in fact he confidently predicts a mon- ination on the fourth ballot, but this confidence is not shared by wise observers who are not particularly {interested in the fortunes of any candidate. It is con- ceded, however, that he will lead, and that his forces will be handled in the best form. His candidacy is supported by the machine, and this embraces the shrewd party manip- ulators. But Hull will be so closely pressed by „Farmer“ Wheeler that all the taet pos- sessed by the workers will be required to hold his forces in line until the break comes upon Hutchinson’s forces, which clearly constitute the balance of power. Just when this will occur is largely a matter of conjecture, but probably it will not be earlier than the fifth or sixth ballot. HULL IN THE LEAD. There is no question but that Hull has had the best of the canvass all through. He has been handicapped by location, it is true, hav- ing an undisputed aspirant for the supreme bench from his home county. The fact that this is so is owing entirely to the enmity of Gov. Larrabee. The Governor wanted to kill off Hull, and when Judge Reed resigned to accept a seat in Congress the littie man’s opportunity came to plant a knife under the fifth rib. There were various aspirants for the place and among them was Gen. Given of Des Moines. Given hud served with credit on the district bench, but he certainly was not the superior in legal attainments of candidates from Western Iowa. where the appointment properly belonged. In addition there were doubts of the Judge’s standing on the railroad question, his record having leaned toward rather than away from the corporations. But Gov. Larrabee’s de- sire to injure Hull’s candidacy overcame his zeal in the warfare against the railroads, and Judge Given was made Chief Justice of 1 court already strongly tinctured with anti-granger notions. Now comes the time for an election and the anti-Huly forces with joyous acclaim declared that Given should be chosen without hindrance. This the Hull forces wisely concluded only to see their enemies raise the location argument against Hull, and emphasizing the dangerous recedent of concentrating so many offices in olk County. Larrabee has played his cards shrewdly, for without seeming to antagonize the Lieutenant-Governor, he has in fact dealt himatremendous blow. But Hull bas done some shrewd things himself. One of his clever feats was to * instructions for Wheeler in Marshall County. Wheeler had. the primaries and the convention by a large majority, and everybody supposed, excepta few knowing ones, that the delegation would be sent to the State convention tied up to Wheeler. Why it wasn’t is a secret worth teliing. Col. Boeson, who lives at Marshalltown, is a prominent candidate for State Treasurer next year. He was Capt. Twombly’s close opponent a year ago, but finally got out of the way with the understanding that next year he would get the prize sure. Capt. Hull caused it to be conveyed to Col. Boe- son that Marshall County, by instructing for Wheeler, would endanger his chances for the treasurersbip. As they think more of an of- fice up that way than most anything else, this word was passed around, and as a result no instractions were given. A well-informed politician from that county states that as the result of this movement on the part ot Hull Marshall County is likely to divide her eigut een votes equally among the three candi- dates. Another one of Hull’s cute tricks is to prevent instructions in counties where he can’t swing the conventions for himself. He has done this iu a number of instances and has in that way gained for himself many dele- pees whe would have been compelled to ave voted for Wheeler but for this fine work. LARRABEE OUT OF THE RACE There is no longer any doubt that Larrabee, as a candidate for Governor or for United States Senator is eliminated from the contest.
