MARQUETTE, Mich., August 31. OME excitement was caused here this morn- ing by news from Re- public, in this State, that the Gogebic stage robber had been cap- tured at that city this morning. The news has been confirmed, but particulars are lacking. * The crime for which the highwayman is under arrest was an ex- — tween the Gogebic station on the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Railroad, and a sum- mer resort hotel on Gogebic Lake, three miles distant. On Monday last the stage left the hotel with a party of four men who had been spending several weeks there. The members of the part y were Donaid Mackarchar of Min- neapolis, one of the officials of the First Na- tional Bank of that city; A. C. Fleischbe in of Belleville, III.; Rabert Rintoul of the Bank of Montreal at Chicago, and Wm. Paddon, also of Chicago. THE ATTACK. At 11:30 a. m. as the stage was dragging lazily along over the road its driver was startied by a command to ‘‘hang onto the | reins and not make a single move at the peril of your lite. There in front of him was the stage robber, wearing a slouch hat and hold- ing two immense revolvers, which he pointed atthe driver. One of the passengers adopted a trick to throw the robber off his guard. He hada considerable amount of money on bis person and did not want it taken from him. When the highwayman extended a genera! in- vitation to cash in' he put his hand into his coat pocket presumably to get a pocket-book, but really he got his revolver. He drew it and commenced firing at the robber, who stood his ground aud returned the fire. The horses dashed away atarapid rate, but the robber contin ued to empty his revolver at the men.in the coach. Mr. Fleischbein rose up in his seat and received a 44-caliber bullet in his hip. At the same time the coach gave a lurch and he was thrown forward in the roadway. Banker Mackarchar also fella victim to the robber’s murderous weapon. He received two bullet wounds—one in the left side of the head and another in the leg. ROBBED THE DYING MANA The robber pounced upon his helpless vic- tim in the roadway, shoved a pistol in his face and threatened to finish bim then and there. Fleischbein pleaded for his life and the robber after going through his pockets getting about $40 in money, a watch and chain and ring, left him lving bleeding and helpless in the road. He lay there nearly three hours before the arrival of assistance. Then he was taken to Bessemer where he was put into a hospital and his wounds cared for; but he had bled so much that his strength was sapped and he died that night having first furnished a good description of the highway- man. Mr. Mackarchar was taken to Minneapolis, ‘where at last accounts he was said to be on the road to recovery. It is pelleved that the robber is the same man who recently in the boldest manner held up the Northwestern and Wisconsin Centra trains. THE PURSUIT AND CAPTURE. As soon as the news of the robbery reached Ashland Sheriff Foley and posse started in pursuit. They were soon joined by a mob un- der Judge Lynch. A pack of jbloodhounds with their Indian trainers were brought into requisition. All avenues of escape were cut offand a systematic man hunt was begun, ending this morning as above stated. The ‘particulars of the capture are not yet known. 77 * What His Captor u Get. MILWAUKEE, Wis., August 81.— The rewards offered for the capture of the noted train and stage robber aggregate about . 500. The Wisconsin Central Railway Com- offered a reward of $1,000 for ry 4 ture ofthe man who robbed its train near Chippewa Falls; the United States Gov- ernment has a standing rewerd for the arrest of the Shawano mail robber, the Milwaukee, Lake Shore & Western Railway Co. offered a reward of $1,000 for the Gogebic stage robber and there are other rewards which amount to $500. The Mil- waukee & Northern Railroad, at the time one of its trains was rob near Ellis Junction, offered a reward of $500, but withdrew it some “ The Story of His Captare.

He was taken to the village jail, recov- ering consciousness on way. At the jail he was searched and thre gold watches, four articles were found on his book bore the name of robber’s name.

The Bessemer authorities were telegraphed to for further information, but up to an early hour this morning no response was received from them. Marshal Glode Frwsolved not to wait word from them, and to m ing fearful thatif he ed longer the man might escape. Among the pocket-books found on Holzhey was the one that he took from Fleischbein, the man who he killed and robbed when he held up the stage at Gogebit, and which contained letters and pa- pers bearing Fleischbein“'s name. An- other ocket-book, oevidently belong- ing to „ G.

The chain isa small curb without bar. The man admits that he took the watch from Fleischbein. Another of the watches is a low carat gold watch, hunting-case and stem- winder, case No. 1.8, and Raymond move- ment No. 282,661, made by the Illinois Watch Co. The other watch is an 18-carat gold watch, hunting- ease and stem-winder, nickel movement made by Robert Monnot, Loche, evidently a Swiss article. The chain is a doubk link w small charm.

He stubbornly refused to say that he bad committed other robberies than those at Ellis Junction and at Gogebic, but after much cross-examination said: It is generally supposed the lone man has done them all, and I think that is so.’’ fle then entered into a detailed statement of his various crimes. His story was an inter- esting one. * Black Bart“ Career. eCHICAGO, August 31.—Post-office Inspector Pulsifer is one of the men who was in the hunt for the Wisconsin sta e robber who was captured this morning. Mr. Pulsifer’s home is in Pulsifer, Wis., and he knows all about the bighwayman who is known as Black Bart, the Lone Highwayman of Wisconsin. In an interview ea few days ago Mr. Pulsifer sald: I must say Black Bart is the cleverest woodsman in the Northwest. His proper name is ie 3 Holsenev and his home is in Pulsifer, Wis. His first attempt at stage 8 was in April 3 he e up a stage going from Her to Simonds on the tine 91 ti fiwaukée, Lake Shore & Western road. At that time he ap- peared with ared handkerchief tied around hisface. He shot the horse and ‘went through’ the passengers, a poor lot, and got nothing. The second attempt was more fruit- tur, for he secured the mail pouch containing several bundred dollars in money,and robbed two passengers of 350. One of them had $800 in currency, but the robber failed to get it. His third assay was made on the stage running from Sheawano to Langlade on the Menominee reservation. The passengers were robbed of $20 and a mail pouch containing some money was secured. Again Black Bart tacked unaided the stage on the Milwaukee & Northern Railroad iine and robbed it. An hour later he robbed the train. During all this time he was holding up way- farers passing throngh the woods of the Goge- bic country. Following bis train robbery he entered Bonduel, a village in Shewano County, and compelled Phil Cann, proprie- tor of a general merchandise store, to deliver the money inthe store safe. This amounted to $80. He also got a gold watch and chain. He was unmasked at this time and was fully recognized by Mr. Cann. His next exploit was the robbery of the Wisconsin Central sleeper, which he rounded off by murder in robbing the stage of the Gogebic Lake Line. Black Bart is a German boy, 22 years of age. He was born in Germany. He is polite and pleasant in his manners and is of square build. He always carries a knife and revolver. He took the life of arobber asthe result of read- ing dime novels, over a hundred of which were at one time found in his room.“ The Highwayman’s Confession. MARQUETTE, Mich., August 31.—The man captured at Republic this morning has con- fessed that he isthe one who held up the Gogebicstage. Convincing evidence was also found on his person in the shape of three pocketbooks, one belonging to Fleischbein and bearing his name. The man also had three reyolvers and three gold watches. Verdict in the Berry Case. By Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCH. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., August 31.—Arguments in the Berry trial were closed last night at 12 o’clock, the last plea for the State being made by ex-Member ot Congress Havens, who made a concise review of the case from the begin- ning. The case was then submitted to the jury, who, after an absence of thirty minutes, returned the following verdict: „We, the jury, find the defendant, James 8. B. Berry, not guilty as charged in the indict- ment.’’ Awrit was immediately served on Berry for felonious ¢ssaait upon Attorney George Taylor of Forsythe, shortly before the murderof Kinney.

Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 31.—No settlement of the strike is yet officially known, but I have just seen Burns, and from what he said, I have little doubt thatthe strike will end to-day. Negotiations with the wharfingers were re- sumed yesterday, and late last night the fol- lowing compromise on the 6d question was agreed upon by the wharf and granary keep- ers: The pay for casual work is to be 6d per hour for the first four hours, if only working that time; iffora longer time, then at the rate of 4s for nine hours, and 6d per hour from nine to twelve hours, with an al- lowance of haif an hour for dinner. This compromise will be submitted by the strike leaders to the men to-day, and if accepted, work will be resumed at all the consenting docks, wharfs and granaries on Monday. The dock directors will probably accept too, for obviously they could not hold out alone. Much comment is caused by the visit of Cardinal Manning tothe dock directors yester- day to urge the claims of the men. It is a re- markable fact that he should embody the pub- lic conscience of London in a way that the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of London never do. THE SOCIALISTS’ OPPORTUNITY. The successful issue of the strike would bring an Immense grist to the Socialist mill. The Spectator to-day discusses the Knights of Labor and points to them asa warning to our Socialists. It says the Knights have done nothing to ameliorate permanently the con- dition of the laborers. The Socialists can now claim this strike as first fruits of their work. It will immensely ameliorate the condition of the lowest class of London laborers, not merely by raising their wages, but byjabolish- ing the sweating system and securing greater regularity of employment. The strike ia en- tirely managed by Socialist leaders and public sympathy is with Socialist ideas. Thus, even the Times, the chief capitalist organ, says to-daythe play of free competition is not a sufficient defense for imposing hard conditions on labor. CONFERENCES STILL IN PROGRESS. LONDON, August 31, 2 p. m.—Oonferences are still in progress between the strikers and the employers. John Burns in an address to the men this morning said victory was nearer than had been deemed possiblea few hours ago. The men along the lower beaches of the Thames were coming out and the belief was becoming general that the end was near, but no settlement of the strike is possible to-day. The dock companies express their willingness to consider further authorized proposals from the men. Mr. Burns, in terms suggestive of the possi- bility of some compromise, has asked and obtained the consent of the strikers to author- ize their leaders to agree upon terms which the leaders might think it desirable to accept. ACCEDED TO THE DEMANDS. It is stated thatthe managers of the Albert docks have practically conceded the demands ofthe strikers contained in the compro- mise proposal submitted last evening. If the other dock companies do not agree to the terms of this proposition the Albert docks people will join with the wharfingers and take on their old employes at these figures. THE COMPROMISE PROPOSITION. Burns held a conference with the dock com- panies to-day and submitted the compromise proposition agreed upon last night, stating that the wharfingers jhad indorsed it. The dock companies issued a statement in conjunction with the wharfingers to the effect that they have considered the prices, declined to accept them, and denying that the wharf- ingers had assented to them. ‘ SWELLING THE STRIKE. The tron-workers at Erith in Kent have struck. The mechanic crews on the North- western Railway demand a5 per cent Increase in wages. Davitt Scores Parnell Special Cablegram to the Post-Dispatch. LONDON, August 31.—The political topic of the week is’ Balfour’s startling promise in Tuesday’s debate to get the views of the Catholics on the University question. This means the establishment and endowing of an Irish Catholic University. Sexton and Par- nell welcome the promise gratefully, but the Radicals are highly indignant. Owing to the absence of political leaders from London the full significance of this new move is not yet grasped by the newspapers. A much smaller congession to Rome wrecked Giadstone in 1873. The Parnellite acceptance of Balfour's extreme concessions place a most severe strain on the alliance between the Parnellites and the English dissenters, to whom Rome is the scariet woman and denomifiational en- dowment the accursed thing. The Daily News and the Star keep strict silence. DAVITT ON PARNELL. Meanwhile a further most important complil- cation is the following attack on Parnell, which he sends me to-day: He says: ‘‘The hand which haa recently been charged by the Irish members with the murder of the Done- gal prisoners in Londonderry and turns the key of the prison cell upon William O’Brien is grasped with enthusiasm amid a hbuliadaloo of congratulations when it offers the endow- ment of a Catholic university to the church whose priests Balfour has wantonly insulted. I confess all this is somewhat emazing to me. university pottage is, together with the vote on the royal grants, a sorry exbibition of Par- lilamentary opportunism, and little surprise will be caused if the democracy of Great Britain, who have helped us convert the Lib- eral party to home rule principles, should turn their whole attention now to pressing social reforms affecting their own material welfare and leave us to carry on our peddling policy with the Tories under the more potent auspices of the Sacred College of the Propaganda. This policy landed the cause of home rule in a bog hole in 1885 when the Tory ignis fatuus en- ticed land league votes into landlord ballot boxes, and it will bea matter for agreeable surprise If a repetition of the fatal mistake which gave power toalandiord government in 1886 will not destroy all hope of winning home rule at the next general election. Davitt goes on to argue that as the English radicals will certainly do, this course of the home rulers was to wait fora Home Rule Parliament. Ineed not emphasize the Im- portance of Davitt’s views.

OTTAWA, August 31.—The omission of any reference to the Behring Sea difficulty or the position the British Government intends tak- ing in Victoria’s speech from the throne in proroguing Parliament to-day has caused great indignation here, where it was fully ex- pected thatan intimation would be given of the policy Lord Salisbury intended following in the matter. In connection with the state- ment thatthe seized sealing schooner Black Diamond is owned by citizens of the United States, the officials of the Marine and Fisher- les Department state that an immediate in- vestigation will be made into the rightful ownership and that it it should turn out that she was owned in whole or in part in the United States such interests in her would be at once confiscated.

R. Francis was chosen a President of the World's Fair Committee of Two Hundred. : This action was a surprise to many members of the committee, as Francis had previously declined the Second Vice - Presidency. For some days an active but quiet canvass has been going on in favor of the eiec- tion of Gov. Francis, the argument being urged thatthe movement was no longer a lo- cal one, but that it included not only the en- tire State, but aiso the entire Southwest. For this reason it was deemed best to place the Chief Executive of the State at the head of the Committee of Two Hundred, andthe election of Francis was made unanimous. It was proposed also to elect a second Vice- President, but after consideration it was de- termined to postpone this matter until the next meeting of the Executive Committee. PERMANENT QUARTERS CHOSEN. The committee appointed to choose a per- manent office for the Executive Board, re- ported that they had examined a num- ber of rooms and had finally concluded to recommend the Executive Committee to select alocation in the Mermod & Jaccard building, on the corner of Broadway and Lo- cust street. Rooms 2, 7, 8 and 9 were reported to be suitable to the purpose, and the Exec- utive Committee authorized the sub-commit- tee to close the contract at once. The new quarters will be handsomely furnished and elegantly fitted up, and will be ready for oe- cupancy early next week. The list of sub-committeemen recom- mended by the Finance Committee was then carefully considered, afew changes were ordered to be made, and the full list will appear in the PoOsT-DISPATCH to-morrow. The committee then adjourned to meet at the Mercantile Club at 8 p.m. Tues- day. THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTER. This afternoon at 4o’clock a meeting of the Committee on Congressional Action was held inthe reading-room of the Merchants’ Ex- change. Several of the members were absent, attending the funeral of the late Henry Shaw, aud nothingbeyond a general discussion ofthe situation, and of the best means for bringin the claims of St. Louis before the Members o Congress was accomplished. The signatures of nearly allofthe Missouri delegation have been promised to the letter formulated early this week, and it was stated thatthere would doubtiess be asolid delegation in favor of St. ulis. By Wednesday next it e expected that he new quarters of the Executive Commit- tee will be occupied. A large force of clerks will be employed, and letters sent setting forth the claims of St. Louis to all parts of the country. Infuture both the Ex- ecutive and General Committees, as well as all sub-committees, will hola their meetings in the new office. A GRAND MASS MEETING. The meeting of the Executive Committee, to be held on Tuesday next, will be one of the most important that has yet been taken place. It is probable that a meeting of the Committee of Two Hundred will be called for an early date for the purpose of setting a time and place for a grand mass-meeting of the citizens. his plan has been advocated not only by the meme bers ofthe General and Executive Commit- tees, put has also been strongly urged by many who as yet have taken no part in the agitation, but who desire to lend every aid in their power tothe cause. A number of well- known speakers will address the mass-meet- ing, and it is proposed to start a general sub- scription to the stock to be issued by the Gen- eral Committee. In speaking of the present outlook, Record- ing Secretary Frank Galennie, who has watched matters closely and whose work has been most diligent and effective, said: ‘*I have always been bopeful, but the prospects are atthe presenttime not only better than they ever were, but are brighter than the most sanguine had any reason to expect. There is not a doubt that we will be able to raise the required sum of $5,000,000. The spirit already shown and the promises of support we have privately received place success in this respect beyond question. We are recieving assur- ances not only of I but also of liberal financial puppets. from all over the country and when the great circular to be read broadcast throughout the Unitea Sta set- ting forth the advantages of St. Louis, is sent out these offers will be largely increased. A etill more important point, and one on which I feel certain that I am right, is the tendency everywnere to make St. Louis the second, if not the first, choice. Our cause growing on ail sides, and while we can lose none of our 8 it a break occurs any- where else it will in our direction. Mark my words, the World’s Fair of 1802 is coming to St. Louis.

There I learned my drill and at the end of a few months I was selected by the Quartermasteras an ‘extra duty’ man, receiving for this $10.8 per month besides my regular pay of 618 per month. Oonsidering what the recruits go through with and the brutality of the non-commissioned officers, I had an easy time, comparatively, butI would not again enlist inthe regular army for $100 a month. **I boarded at the depot detachment for the greater part of the time, and in consequence lived on much better food than the reeruits with their companies received, as the depot detachment is where the old soldiers are kept until assigned to their fcompanies, and they know something about what kind of treatment 6, they are entitled to, and what food a. receive, so they are not bulldozed a -- geant managed to make money. ple one stopped if the officers wished to Bn * * pr 55 * CAPT.

The usual way was a very sim- and one which could be easily do 80, but they never appeared to care whether the men were robbed or not with the exception of one, . of whom I shall speak later. The way the = company groceries were purchased was as 85 follows: The Kitchen Sergeant w | Whom he traded for the purpose cae potatoes, sugar, bacon, etc. 157 pounds ot sugar and 100 pounds : The groceryman and he always one-half to two-thirds of the amou Bin. on the bill.

He would then take the bills and check off the goods, carefully weigh- ing and measuring the articles and seeing that they were as represented, and if anything was short he would find out what was wrong. It is 3 to gay that he was not in great favor Ww THE e td SERGEANT and the groceryman, but the recruits received good food and the deserters from his com- y were very few in number in conse- uence. If the other company commanders Had followed his example their men would have fared much better than they did. One time I happened to be in a store when fergt, Hizzi, then First Sergeant of the depot detachment, was purchasing some groceries. He used to cook his own food in the orderly room, leaving bis ration money almost intact. He purchased a quantity of potatoes for thé company and then picked out a chunk of bacon for his own use, saying as he took it: ‘This is all potatoes, you know,’ In B Company there was a Kitchen Ser- geant named Beaumont. He was a cook him- self, and knew how the men should be fed, so he gave the kitehen his personal supervision and the recruits who were there at the time he was Kitchen Sergeant will never forget the good food which he gave them. They had regular bills of fare, puddings, pies, roast meats, vegetables, etc., and they were cooked in good style too. His ter ag | livea the best of any company there, and he admitted to me that even then he was making money, The recruits were Willing for him to get some- thing for the work he did, as he looked out for their interests. The Post- DIsPATCH reporter speaks about seeing men struck by the non-commissioned officers in the ranks while drilling. When the First Sergeants drilied with sabres I have frequently seen one of them step up toa man and give him a punch in the stomach which would knock the wind out of him for sometime. The torture of prisoners in the er was one of the worst things which ever saw or ever expect to see again. I have seen a prisoner punished by being tied hard and fast to a stake out of doors on a cold win ter’s day for several hours, when the mem- bers of the guard were huadling around the stove inside to keep warm and were aug relieved at short intervals so that they woul not freeze. Whether any of these prisoners were ever frozen I cannot say, but it is won- derful if they did not, considering the manner of their punishment. Another favorite trick was to tie a prisoner astride a barrel and com- pel him to remain in this position for hours at atime. I have seen this done in both hot and cold weather. THE TORTURING OF A PRISONER by tying him up by the thumbs was also commonly practiced. The Sergeant would take asmall pieca of rope and tie it around the prisoner’s thumbs, and then after the man was lifted upon his tiptoes the rope was stretched taut and tied above his head. The prisoner was kept in this condition until he would ‘‘squeal’’ or beg for mercy. The Ser- geants appeared to gloat over the sufferings of the men and punished them severely on the slightest pretext. When Maj, Somers was post commander affairs were in a manner very different from what they were after Maj. Perry was sent there. Maj. Somers insisted on the men not being openly robbed and maltreated, and made it a practice to watch the drill- masters and check any cursing or abuse ofthe men. There is one Sergeant in B Company, who was not permitted to drill the men on account of his brutal treatment of them, but he resumed duty us soon as Maj. Perry took the post and made up for lost time. He is universally hated by the men,and itis a wonder that some of them do not mur- der him. „Maj. Perry permitted his wife to run the post, and she raised a great racket among the married men by causing them all to be sent away,just Decause some of their wives dressed asnicely as she did. Maj. Perry’s orderly had to attend to his little child and was com- | pelled to obey the commands of the child as much as thage of the father. He made a nurse of the orderly, and all of the boys hated to be chosen by the Adjutant for that place. Maj. Somers permitted no enlisted men to be detailed as servants by the officers, that is ‘dog robbers,’ and never permitted a soldier to perform any menial occupation for him, but had his own colored servant, whom he engaged from the city. The officers were all compelied to do the same and thus had to pay out the money allowed for this purpose for a civilian servant instead of getting a recruit for the work and paying him but a few dollars per month for the work. AN ORDER WAS GIVEN out from Washington thatno enlisted men were to be used as servants, but that rule was broken and has never been fully observed since Maj. Perry commanded the post. About as mean a trick as lever saw played on the recruits was done over the ice. The recruits were compelled to lay in a stock of ice during the winter months, and the ice-house was filled as a preparation forthe summer. The officers would have the ice carried to their quartersin large chunks, the most of them never using it, and in this manner wasted nearly all of it. When the supply got low the order was given thatthe recruits must buy their own ice, butthe officers were permitted to use all they wanted to and wasted it as be- fore, while the recruits, who had cut the ice themselves, were compelled to purchase any which it was necessary that they should have. [When the PoOS8T-DISPATCH reporter-recruit was atthe Barracks the recruits clubbed to- gether and boughtice to be used by the com- pany, paying for itoutof their own pockets, while the officers were using the ice from the ice-house without expense.| Maj. Forsyth, the Quartermaster, wanted the men to have the ice until it was all gone, but the Post- Commander refused to permit them to do his. The life or comfort of a recruit at the Bar- racks is never thought of by the officers. There were two large water tanks up over the guardhouse,and frequently, on a cold win- ter’s night when it wasfeared that it was goingto freeze,the engineer would fill the tanks too full, causing them to overflow. This water would run down intothe guard- house and cover the floor on which the prisoners were sleeping, and they were compelled to remain there in their wet clothes and sleep in their wet blankets in the water. The Sergeant could easily have let them go out and wring out their blankets, but did not do so, »The many instances of injustice and crueity to recruits at the Barracks which I have witnessed would make alarge volume, but enough facts have already been brought out to probably call the attention of the AUTHORITIES AT WASHINGTON to the brutal treatment of the men and to compel an investigation. The Post-DispaTcHu reporter has not told one tenth of the indigni- ties practiced on the recruits, who absolutely have no manner of redress and are utterly powerless in the hands ofacrowd of unscru- 2 men, who appear to delight in caus- n g all the suffering possibie. Why some of these ‘non-coms’ have not been murdered by the men long before this is a mystery, as it seems as though the patience ofthe men must come to an end atsome time. Slavery, as it existed before the war, was paradise compared with the treatment of recruits atthe Barracks, and al- though the sufferings of slaves were told in glowing words by numerous authors, the POST-DISPATCH has been the first to ex- pose the terrible white slavery now in exist- ence in the regular army of the United States. If the good work continues all the men in the whole army will biess the Post-DIsPatcu.’’ Keeping the Men Clean. The authorities think that cleanliness among the recruits is conducive to good health and this is one ofthe strictest rules enforced at Jefferson Barracks. All men must be kept clean, change their underclothes every week and take frequent baths. They must keep Seanty Shaved and their clothes must not be permitted to become solied. For the purpose of keeping the men clean an Bspection of quarters and clothing is made every Sunday morning. The recruits are fallen in two lines in front of the quarters at about 8 o’clook in the morn- ing, without arms, and the company com- mander inspects them personally. At the command, ‘‘Rear open under; march!’’ the rear line steps back about ten feet and the company commander waiks down the front rank, carefully examining the clothes ofeach man, notes whether they are shaved clean, have their buttons and cross. sabers polished, ete. He then walks along the rear of the front rank to see ifthe men have washed their necks and to see that there is no dust on their clothes. The rear rank is then Inspected inthe same manner and the com- SFakt Fank’ e ‘pikes directly u ace recti the front 12 Then the First Ser. you men go in the quarters, open and Gree shirts, roll u ur your boxes.

The day that I received my discharge the First Sergeant came out into the squad-room and said: : ‘*Whose laundry number ia -——?’ N A recruit spoke up and said that it was is.

Each man was provided with a scrubbing-brush, one used to sorub floors with, and the rgeant took the man down to the river, and with the help of the four men the man received a thorough cleaning. I heard afterwards that the skin was taken off his body by the scrubbing which he received. The men must keep free from vermin, ex- cept — bedbugs, which they cannot get rid of. I have often seen a man standing in the ranks with a bed bug, or perhaps two, crawl- ing up his neck, and it he put his hand up to brush it off, some sergeant would say: Keep those hands down,’’ and the bug was per- r Go and get ready to be * mitted to roam at its own ee will, The blanket and mattresses, even the bunks, were full of them and they could be seen around the cracks in the wall, No effort was made to getridof them during my term of service at the Bar- racks. The recruits are all compelled to take their laundry to the Barracks, and I have a number of times signed the laundry roll when the charges made for my laundry work were one- third larger than they should have been. In fact they were —— larger. ‘RANK R. E. WOODWARD. COLLIDED ON A CURVE, The Killed and Injured in the Railway Wreck at Brooksville, Vt.

CHICAGO, August 31.—An outgoing passenger train on the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad wasrun into fromthe rear by a wild engine, near Elmhurst, at midnight last night. It was rumored that a number of lives had been lost, but the train dispatcher says no one was badly hurt. Two sleepers and one or two others were badly smashed. Seven persons were injured but none of them so seriously as to prevent them from continuing on their journey. Owing to the fact that all proceeded no names of the in- jured are obtainable. The financial damage is estimated at about $8,000. The collision was caused by a fog obscuring the rear lights of the passenger train.

The flames, however, — rapidly and before they could be checked one of the large buildings, three sto- ries high and filled with valuable machinery, wae completely destroyed. About 3 o’clock the wall on the northeast side bulged out and about thirty feet of it fell with a crash. Oliver Monshower, aged 30 years, an employe, was instantly killed and Wm. Robinson, Chas. Seifert, Wm. Scharfer and Henry Seaser were more or iess Injured. Seifert was also an employe and hie injuries, it is feared, will prove fatal. Robin- son is badly hurt, but may live. The others are not seriously injured, The loss will reach $90,000; covered by insurance. The building will be rebuilt at once. Missouri! Matters. By Telegraph to the Posr-Disraron. WASHINGTON, D.

A cordon of mounted police led the funeral cortege, the clergy and choir, the honorary and active pall bearers fol- lowing in carriages in the order named. Then came the hearse, the relatives in carriages and friends and citizens. The funeral proceeded out Pine street to Grand ave- nue and down to Shaw's Garden. At the gate the employes of the deceased met the carriage and taking the casket from the hearse, carried it around the garden and then to the mauso- leum, which Mr. Shawhad built as his last resting place.

Noel of teaching German in the Gardenville school was not dis- missed by the Teachers Committee at ite meéting Thursday evening, as was errone- ously given out, but that on the contrary Mr. Noel himself narrowly escaped dismissal. | The information against him was said to have heen well substantiated, and he would have lost his position bad it not been for the fact that two ot the members of the commit- tee, Messrs. Sheahan and Kelly, being Irish- men, were loath to take such a decided action for the reason that they believe it might be sald that they were actuated by prejudice. The motion to dismiss Noel was made by one ofthe members of the committee but there was no second to it, and consequently the investigation was simply dropped. WHAT A MEMBER SAYS. I never was so surprised in my lite, said one of the members of the committee to a Post- DISPATCH reporter to-day, ‘‘when I read in the pap that the accusation against Principal Noel of teaching German in the Gardenville Schoo! bad been shown to be un- founded on fact and that on the contrary” is was proven that he had deen teaching the scholars English during the very time that it was al- leged German instruction had been imparted. But when I read that instead of fault being found with him Mr. Noel had been bighly commended by the committee for the work, I was simply astounded. How such informa- tion got out I cannot understand, for certain it is that what oceurred in the meeting of the committee was directly opposite to what was reported. the charge against Noel of teaching German was shown to the satisfaction ot a majority of the committee to have been true, and the fact that he escaped dismissal was due entirely to the committee’s ua willipgpens to deprive him of his position, as such action might be thought too severe, and to show prejudice. But 1 do not think that Noel should be al- lowed to have the benefit of a published ex- oaeration, as such a statement piaces the two lady teachers in his schoal, Miss Fannie Wade and Miss Katie M. Schroe- der, ina wrong light. hee were summoned to appear before the committee and testify in regard to this matter, and their testimony was to the effect that Mr. Noel had taught German. They were friendly to Mr. Noel but they could not but tell the truth when directly interrogated. The fact that they gave such testimony became known out- side of the committee and, though I know they do not wish tosee Mr. Noel suffer for his conduct, still the publication of the statement thathe was exonorated, as you can readily see, does them an injustice.’’ When did Mr. Noel teach German? During the regular school hours?“ Ny, he taught it during recess. „Wat did he have to say in regard to the charge? NOEL’S DENIAL. „He denied it. He said that he knew the im- pression was that he was teaching German and that he did not care particulariy to dis- sipate it, but that he was really teaching the scholars how to speak English. That state- ment was not at all plausible, because the youngest scholars who come into the school are taught exclusively by Miss Wade, and she said that she had“ no great difficulty in instructing them in the regular course of study without any interpreter. Moreover it was proven that there was German writing on the blackboards. Noel was asked if he found teaching German script essential to English instruction, and of course he could not an- swer that. „What was his object, do you think, in teaching the scholars German?“ “He wanted to popularize himself in the dis- trict, which is mostly populated by Germans, thatisall. And he succeeded, too, for we were informed that he had been presented with a gold- headed cane by the parents of the scholars as a token of their appreciation.’’ HOTEL PERSONALS. Geo. P.

From the County Court record we find the following entry: May term, 1840. It is ordered that James Wilson, Commissioner, let out the building of a conn- ty jall, to be 18 feet square, of hewn timber, double walls, two stories high, to be com- pleted in twelve mouths.’’ December term, 1840; It is ordered that Milton Sez- ton let the contract for a Court- house, to be built of good sound oak logs, 18x20, to be underpinned with rock. the wall to be one story high from the under floor, the same to be covered with sound raft- ers, with lathing, and najling thereto, com- mon good boards, three feet long, shingle fashion; to have one wooden chimney and fire-place chimney to be built of sticks and clay.’’ Thia was Neosho, our county seat, in its in- fancy. The first lead was discovered in the spring of 1847, six miles north of Neosho, and before the war its output aggregated not less than fifty million pounds. THE CENSUS OF 1860 showed 9,319 people in Newton County, but the war greatly depopulated it, leaving scarcely 3,000 souls at its close. The value of zinc ore was discovered after the war and The Court-House. what was before wasted became a great source ot revenue. The population of Neosho never exceeded 500 before the war, but at its close a large influx of immigration added to its wealth and importance. In 1870 the Frisco completed its Hne to this town and our real prosperity dates from that time and the city has been steadilv growing ever since, until now we boast ot 3, 500 inhab- itants, comprising one of the moat thrifty towns of the State. Our Court-house, of which a cut is here given, is one of the best and most complete public buildings in the State. Our opera-house, built during 1884, cost $20,- 000 and will seat 800. Our public school build- lag cost $10,000, and we have just yoted $6,000 fora Ward school-house. The Scarritt Col- legiate Institute, costing $25,000, is located here, shewing that our school facilities are the very best. We have ten different churches. The brick buildings, which grace our public square, give it a solid appearance. Our new county jail, built in 1886 by the Pauley Jail Co. of St. Louis at a cost of $10,000, isa thing of beauty and fools the jail bird every time. OUR MANUFACTURING PLANTS * consist of four waxon works, producing some 2,000 wagons annually; the Neosho Plow shops, producing about 10,000 plows and im- loments „ the Neosho Foundry and achine Shops, doing all kinds of iron and brass casting and making milland mining machinery: two large roller flouring mills; a canning factory, employing about stxty hands and making a splendid home market for our farmers and gardeners; a large planing mill and sash and door factory, besides a woolen mill, producing yarns, blankets and jeans. The Neosho Lime Co. is just opening an extensive industry inthe way ofa fine lime and stone product, The Newton County lead and zine mines are coming to the front every day and Eastern capital is being rapidly attracted this way for their development. A deal of 12,000 acres of mining lands was recently consummated, In 1870 Neosho was penetrated by the ’ Friseo line of railroad; but one railroad, however complete, is but an aggravation. Neosho and Newton County, however, were greeted on January last with the Kansas City, Fort Smith & Southern Railway, which cresses the 'Friseo atthis point, and is being pushed on to the Gulf, e flatter ourselves that the Frisco line will, ere many months, be pushed to Albuquerque, N. M., thus giving us A TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE tothe Pacific, south of the snow line, and hence open for traffie the year round. The Kansas City, Fort Smith 4 Southern Railway Co. was incorporated by that enterprising old Indian, Matthias Splitiog. and associates, who spent nearly $200,000 on its construction.

All Rights Reserved.] CHAPTER I. N the course of my work last year I had occasion to go over afile of old Liver- pool newspapers, and thus came upon a remarkable para- graph in the ship news. Translated out of the language of commerce it was to the effect that the good ship Empress, „just arrived from Australia, reported that while rounding the Cape of Good Hope she had been driven southward far out of her course by a storm, andthat way down in the Southern Atlantic had sighted a vessel drifting aimlessly about. The first mate boarded her, and returning re- ported that the derelict was the ship Alba- tross. That she had been abandoned was piain, for all the boats were gone and so were the log and the ship’s instruments. Ou the deck close by the companion-hatch jay two bodies, or rather skeletons, ciad in § weather-rotted garments that showed them to have been man and woman. These bodies were headless, but the heads were nowhere to - be found on the deserted deck. The mate found on the cabin table an open book with writing on its pages. A pen lay on the table, and a small inkstand, in which the ink had evidently long since dried. The book was evidently a journal or diary, so the mate reported, and he put it in his pocket, meaning to carry it aboard the Empress, but when he was getting down into his small boat the book slipped from his pocket, dropped nto the water and sank. The Albatross was badly water- logged and he thopght could not have floated much longer. To this report the editor of the paper added a note saying that the readers would all doubtless remem- berthat the Albatross had sailed from Liver- pool several years before bound for Australia god was thougbtto have gone down with all on board, as no news of her had since been re- ceived. That was the substance of the remarkable paragraph. What was almost as remarkable to me, a newspaper man, was that the Liver poo! paper had evidently made no effort to learn the owners of the Albatross, the name of her captain and crew, or whether or not she carried any passen- gers. I carefully searched files to see if there was any further reference to the case. Jhere was none. After the manner of his kind the editor of the paper had, so it seemed, taken it for granted that his intelligent read- ers would remember’’ all the particulars that they wanted to know. I was much impressed by the paragraph. My professional instinct told me that there wasagood newspaper story there and I was cisgusted that any editor eould let it go un- told. lalso experienced more than usual eu- riosity toknow how those headiess bodies came there, or rather why they should lie there onthe ceck headless. Then there was that journal that had been found lying open on the „ as though the writer had been interrupted in the writing, which had never been finished. What light might that little book not throw on the mys- tery’ And now it was lying fathoms deep in the Southern Atlantic. Of what use to specu- late overthe matter. Thanks to the careless mate and the stupid editor that mystery would remain forever unsolved. But in spite of reason 1 did speculate considerably over the matter, and try as Il did could not banish the story from my mind. Afew weeks after thatI went into Northern Vermont to report the Benton murder trial, which was attracting much more than local attention. I was pleased to find that the Prosecuting Attorney was an old class-mate of mine, George Judson. I had known bim pretty well, asa bard-working and remark- ably bright man, with acurious streak in his mental make upthat led him to investigate every new ‘‘ism’’ that appeared. We used to call him a Spiritualist, and had the word been u use lam sure would have called him a crank. He was5 years older than I, had mar- ried immediately after graduating, had pros- pered as a lawyer, and now had a good home lor his wife and two children. e seemed much pleased to renew the acquaintance of college days, and insisted that I should make — house my home during my stay in the own. One Saturday evening as we sat in his com- fortable library smoking after dinner, Judson said, with some apparent hesitation. “There's going to be a show here this waning that may interest ou. es?“ “Yes. There's a woman living here who does some remarkable things when in a trance. There areafew of us who are curi- ousaboutsuch things and 1 have asked her and them here to my house this evening.’’ a hatis it??’ Jasked lightly; 'the cabinet Judson looked a trifle hurt.

He was the last man you would expect to be de- luded by the tricks of themedium. Atthe same time I found myself, in spite of my skep- ticism, wondering what would come of it all. The next evening I seated in Judson’s large parlor, one of about twenty persons of the sort usually seen at such seances. The Spiritual- ists of the place, I thought. The room had been arranged after the fashion customary. There was an improvised cabinet in the cor- ner, chairs in a semicircle in front of it, not too near. Judson seemed a sort of master of ceremonies, passing in and out, greeting new- comers, 1 a word here and there. He was pale, I thought, and preoccupied. We waited perhaps a quarter of an hour and then Judson ushered into the room a tall, slender woman, middle-aged, gray haired, with rather strongly marked feattres and dark eyes that had a tired look. She seemed a person of nerves; a trifie above the average medium in appearance of intelli- gence and refinement and with rather less of the self-assertive boldness usually displayed by the women who make a business of communing with spirits. There was no preliminary non- sense. She entered the cabinet in a business- like way. Judson turned the gas down low so that we were in the dimmest sort of a dim re- ligious light; just the lignt, I have always ob- served, that seemed most congenial to spirits, orrather that aided most effectually inthe tricks played bythe mediums. Then he sat down by my side and said: ‘‘Let us all clasp hands. I grasped with my left the fat hand of a large woman next to me,and Judson seized my right with his left hand. It was quite cold, and I thought trembled a little. @ leaned over me and whispered in my ear. I am de- termined to see that journal to-night. If will can do it, it shall be done. Join your will with mine. You are aman of will. Let us — the powers to yield to our combined wills.’’ I was startled by the intensity of his manner more than by the words. In spite of my half disgustatthe whole proceedings, that were such an exact repitition of more than one humbugging seance, I was forced into a re- spectful attitude of mind, and at once became an interested assistant where a moment be- fore I had been an unbelieving, critical ob- server. I nodded my head and Judson’s grasp of my hand became firm. Then there was complete silence for many moments. Ibent all my mind to the one thought that I would see the journal wherever in the large world it might be. At first my thoughts would wander, but then it seemed to me that Judson’s grasp tightened and drew the desultory thought back tothe one subject ot his own thoughts. I have considered thisa ood deal since and conclude that Judson did or the time at least possess some extraordi- nary power, probably pure force of will. At all events, I grew more and more determined to have my will done. Then there came a calm voice from behind the curtain of the cabinet. **What is your wish?’’ No one spoke for a moment, and then a weak voice at my left said something about a desire to see a child that had died, and an- other voice expressed the wish to look upon the form ofa departed husband. I was too much occupied with my own thoughts to notice thea that this was the same oid scene enacted as at all the other seances. Again there was perfect silence, it seemed interminable. I could hear the breathing of the fat woman on my left. I could hear my watch ticking in my pocket. I thought that I could hear my heart beat, but all the time there was the firm pressure of the cold hand of my friend, and the constant thought, now sbaped into words, and the words into a sentence, and that sentence con- tinually repeating itself until I seemed to hear that too: Iwill see that journal to-night.’’ And still that strange silence. The air in the room became close. Every door and win- dow had been carefully closed, and the breathing of twenty or more persons had was made large drafts on the oxygen. Suddenly a breath fanned my i cheek, then a stronger draught, and then a steady current of air set against my face. I felt it move my hair, and it smelled of the sea. it was salty. Yes, undoubtedly a strong, steady sea breeze was in that room, and it brought with itthe smellof a ship, tar and oakum and pitch. The odorthat arises when the sun beats hotly down upon the unpro- tected deck and the boards shrink and the great pine masts feel the fierce heat. But there was no heat, only at first that cool sea breeze and then the patter of rain, seemingly on the floor of the room in which we sat. Then a low moan came from behind the cur- tains of the cabinet, and then the sound of a heavy fall. At this some of the women shrieked weakly. There was a general letting go of hands, and Judson sprang to the cabi- net and disappeared behind its folds. After an instant of silence we heard his voice: More light. I hastened to turn on the gas. Judson pulled aside the curtains, and we saw that the woman was lying outstretched on the floor. „She has fainted,’’ said Judson calmly. „That is all. I believe that she is subject to such attacks. I doubt my friends if we shall have any manifostations to-night. May I ask you all to consider the meeting adjourned, I will give our friend here all medical at- tention.’’ He spoke so calmly and with such authority that without a word the little company passed out of the room and out of the house. Judson and I raised the woman to a couch, and he brought water and bathed her face. She opened her eyes, sighed deeply, and then sat up. There was a strange, scared look on her face. Where is it?’’ she asked, faintly. „Here, said Judson, and he drew from be- neath his coat asmall book and handed it to her. She turned away with a shudder. No, no. Take it away. Take it away. Judson handed it to me. WIII you kindly take this book to the library, said he, I will — vou in a moment. lobeyed mechanically. Before going into the library I stepped to the broad piazza and looked out into the night. The snow lay white onthe ground, stars twinkied in the frosty sky, it was very cold and I could hear the snow creak under the feet of passers-by, and yet lI bad felt that sea breeze and heard the patter of rain. What did it mean? I shivered, en- tered the warm house, turned the light high in the library, shut the door and not till then looked atthe bookin my hand. It wasa small blank book about six inches long and four inches wide, well bound in leather and thoroughly water-soaked. I opened it. The leaves were wet and discolored and I could see that the pages were covered with writing. Iturned to the fiyleaf and there read these words: „Arthur Hartley’s Journal. Began on board the ship Albatross, March 7, 1851.’’ I stood in a daze glaring at the written words, utterly confounded. The door opened His cheeks „1 knew it.

I’m glad to find that I’m a good sailor, and can thoroughly enjoy the new experiences that 2 prongs’ themselves in the beginning of the ong voyage we have started upon. I have written the word ‘‘enjoy;’’ let it stand. I thought I never should have known entoyment again, but I do. There’s enjoyment in the knowledge that each hour puts miles of ocean between me and the woman that has spoiled my life. No, I won’t admit that. She shan’t have the satisfaction of spoil- ing my lite. She tried hard enough God knows. She played with my heart, much as though it were a mouse and she a cat. Sheis acat. A sleek, soft, purring cat, and with claws. Icould eat out my own heart when I think haw she played with it.

Mother, if you ever see these pages read these words with sympathy, as the idle ravingsofaman well nigh gone mad over woman’s false beauty. I never told the story even to you, my dear mother. I dare say you guessed much of it. You know how Helen Rankine came down from Lon- don to our quiet country home. You know how beautiful and gracious she was. How kind and loving to you, how apparently frank and friendly with me. She was the first woman I ever saw to whom I gave a second thought, save you, dear mother. We rode and drove and chatted together. She drew my very heart from me, I told her all my plans and hopes and aspirations. Of my love of the art to which I had devoted my life. That I hoped to go to London and study, and then to Rome; that I wanted to become a great painter. She was so full ot hearty sympathy, so kind, so womanly, that before I knew it she had me enslaved. For all the gracious- ness and frankness and sympathy were but the means she used in her heartiessness to enslave mo. hen came a day, a day to be remembered; a day like that, when beguiled by another beautiful fiend in woman form our first father, poor, foolish man, ate of the fruit ofthetree of the knowledge of good and evil and so lost his paradise. Itold Helen of my love, and how I did love that woman. And she put on an ap- pearance of surprise and squeezed acold tear ortwofrom her beautiful eyes and said that she thought 1 knew and understood. And when, haif dazed, l asked her what she meant, what it was that Iwas thought to have known, she had to blush and said that she had long been engaged to her cousin, Jonn Bruce, who was now with his regiment in India, and that when he came home they were to be mar- ried. And then she said something about my being so young and having a great career before me, and that she would always be my friend and would pray for my success. And she stretched out her hand towards me. Ithink she must have seen the hate in my face, for my great love turned to great hate, even while she spoke, andall the wholesome currents of my being seemed poi- soned by the supreme passion, and she turned pale, and her hand dropped, andl cursed her. March 10—A call from Unole John inter- rupted me the other day, andI have had no heart to write since. y moods shame me. I wrote those words with burning cheek and throbbing heart. I have just read them with- out an emotion. Why can’t I bea man and notasilily, raving boy? Not that the hate that burns in my heart is abating. Itcan never abate. It will grow and grow and keep me true to my purpose. No more mooning over art and the hope of a great name, but hard work and money-making. Uncle John prom- ises us both fortunes.

Ray- mond was almost angrv when he learned that in Uncle Jobn’s innocent-looking boxes was a ‘compound powerful enough to biow us all out of the water. But he was somewhat reassured when uncle insisted that as long as the Alba- tross floated she and we were safe; for he savs that the explosive is only an explosive when wet. Oapt. Raymond said that he'd try and keep it dry then, and he sent men into the hold where the boxes were stored, and had them placed carefully in an unused cabin. We are the only passengers. I made sure thatno woman was tobe on board during the long voyage. Icame near Delng disapt pointed in this for Capt.

As was writing I heard quite acommotion on deck cries of the sailors,sharp orders from officers, and the trampling of feet. Irushed on deck. Uncle John and the Captain were standing on the poop deck, looking intently across the water; the first mate was shouting orders that I couldn’t understand, and the crew were lowering the long boat. **What’s the matter?’’ Iasked, joining uncle and the captain. „There's a little boat adrift out yonder,’’ answered Uncle John, pointing, ‘‘and the lookout says that there are a couple of bodies lying in it. There, do you see it, on the top of that wave?’’ I saw it; a mere shell it seemed, poised fora moment on the top ofaswell, and then slid- ing down into a trough of the sea, quite out of sight. The long boat was soon lowered and. guided by the cries of the lookout, made straight for the little boat. It seemed very long before it was reached, and then we saw. the sailors make it fast to the long boat and begin to pull slowly back tow- ard the Albatross. It was slow and hard work, towing that boat, small as it seemed, through the rather heavy sea. There was no sign of lite in her. What was behind those low gunwales? What were the men bring- ing tous? At length they came alongside,and — we saw that there were two bodies lying ere. Aman and a woman, sir,’’ called up the — 4 There's life in em both, but precious ttle.’’ It was nice work getting the two boats alongside and the bodies out of them and up to the ek, but it was done dy the aid of slings, the woman being brought up frst. Uncle Jobn, by virtue of his profession, gave directions as to placing her on the deck and then knelt by her side. I stood aloof. Why hadthat woman come to us in midocean? What was it? Fate? She is alive,’’ cried Uncle John. ‘‘Cap- tain, we must get her below at once.’’ I glanced at the woman. Thick locks of matted black hair lay around a face on which the sun and wind and the salt sea water had done fearful work. And yet those biackened and blistered features somehow had a familiar look. Where hadIiseen them? I could not tell. Four sailors carried her below and I turned to look at her companion, who had been laid on the deck. Uncle John just took time to grasp his wrist, and said: ‘‘He’s alive, too, then he dropped the 3 hand and hurried below. Always the way. Woman first. This “re man might get what attention he could. The woman must be nursed back to life to deceive the first fool that takes her fancy. I turned to the man, a common sailor evidently, brawny and bearded. The mate was by his side and together we did what we couid to nourish the spark of lifethat kept the pulse feebly fluttering in the big brown wrist. It was afternoon when these two waifs were found and all night we fouxht with death. Now Uncle John says that he thinks that they will live. Neither of them has spoken, but each has taken a little nourishment and the pulse shows gaining strength. Capt.

Briefly told, his story, as far as I got it, is that he was one of the crew of the Vulture, boup and to India with from | army stores and arms, including a large con- — of powder.

Like himself, she was unharmed, save by the awful shock and fright. He paddled around er sign of life. rose near the boat; rose sank again, and that was ‘of life and vigor. This much I heard the sailor tell, and then sto him, for he was tired. The woman still sleeps, and has shown no signs of con- sciousness. March 14—The sailor, whose name is Rich- ard Jones, Was able to crawl out on deck this morning. He completed his story. The young woman, he said, was the only passen- ger on the Vulture. He did not know her name. It had been talked among the crew that she was going out to her lover, an officer lu the Indian army who had been wounded; that she would not wait for the regular East Indiaman, but had managed to secure passage on the Vulture. When she realized that she and the sailor (Jones) were the only ones alive of all those that had been on the vanished ship, and that they were quite alone on the ocean, in a small boat without oars or sail or food or drink, she cried a little and wrung her hands and then became very quiet. She took her lace in the bow and there she sat. Jones sat nthestern and paddied clear of the wreek- age, and then, using the piece of board fora rudder, kept the boat before the wind. Luck- ily there was very little sea. He thought that they were in the track of Indiamen, and so kept good hope. He tried to encourage the oung woman, butshe seemed to prefer si- ence and so he kept still. Thus they drifted. The sun beat down apes their unprotected heads. Then they began to want for water. They did not think so much of food asof water. Jones doesn’t know how long they were adrift. He doesn’t know when the girl lost conscious- ness. He remembers that one day she moaned a little, and in the night he thought that he heard her whisperfng to herself. He thought that she was praying, perhaps. Then he be- gan to lose consciousness. He remembers seging a beautiful green field with trees and a brook running through it. He says that men suffering from thiret on the ocean often have such visions. He remembers noth- ing else until he opened his eyes and saw me bending over bim. Uncle John reports no change in the condi- tion of the young woman. She lies ina stupor, apparentiy. The pulse daily grows stronger, he says, and she swaliows freely the nourish- ment administered. April 2—It is more than two weeks since I wrote in my journal. I have been iil, a sort of low fever that kept me in my cabin. Nothing serlous, Uncle John said, and so it has proved, except that lam very weak. Uncle has been kind, but most of his time has been devoted to that woman. He says that itis a very in- teresting case. She became conscious a few — * ago, and has gained strength since. She will be on deck in a day or two, thinks. I’m to see her. I want to see there really is anything familiar in ber face. It's fortun- ate for her that clothing of Mrs. Raymond’s is on hand. Shed beinaplight, else. I asked Uncle John what ber name was. He looked queer and said he didn’t know. Strange that he hasn’t asked her. The sailor, Jones, seems auite recovered and has taken his place smong thecrew. We were rather short-handed and the Captain was glad enough to have him. He can be of service. But the woman can be nothing but a trouble to me at least, for I must see her daily, I suppose. And yet I’m anxious to see her, too. This fever has left me rather childish as well as weak. April 3—Thbank God forthese — to which I can talk, else I should go mad, I think. Could you read these words as they flow from my pen, mother. you might well wonder whether I had not indeed gone mad. But I will de quite calm while I tell of what fate or Satan, or whatever evil power it is. has done forme. I was sitting on the deck this morning stillvery weak when I heard foot- steps behind me and Uncle John’s voice say- ing Good morning, Arthur. I turned and saw him standing near me, and leaning on his arm, Helen Rankine. I write these words calmly enough now. Can you imagine what I felt when I saw her? I staggered to my feet, muttered some incoherent words and would have fallen had not Uncie John sprang to my side and caught me. Wu, what's the mat- ter, Arthur? Calm yourself, my boy. Is it possible that you know this young lady?’’ By a supreme effort of will, aided by the memory of thatday when we last parted, I drew myself up and bowed and said that 1 nad had the great honor of once knowing Miss Helen Rankine, and thatI had had no idea that it was she we were fortunate enough to have rescued. Uncle looked at me in wonder as I said these words with sneering politeness. The girl looked at me questioningly, but there was no shadow of recognition on ber face. „Then your name is Helen Rankine?’’ said Uncle Jobn, kindly, turning toward the girl and speaking as though to a little child. A troubled look passed over her face, and then she said quietiy: I do not know. Ican not remember. Do you knowthis gentleman, Mr. Arthur Hartley?“ he asked in the same kindly way. Again the troubled look, an apparent effort to seize some elusive thought, and then again the voice I knew so well, but now so unnat- urally calm: Ido not know him.’’ I stood aghast at what seemed the consum- mate acting of a heartiess and consclenceless woman,and yet in the instant I saw that there was no acting there. Let me stop a mo- ment, mother, and describe her. You remember how beautiful she was with that rich, dark beauty you once spoke of as ‘‘Italian.’’ It was that beauty that enslaved me. You remember that I have written of her appearance as she lay on the deck the day she was saved. The days of II- ness and quiet in the cabin below had almost obliterated all the ravages done by wind and sun and sea. The olive cheeks were a little darker than of old, and the hands browner. The face was not quite so pure an oval as when you saw it last. The color of lip and cheek not quite so vivid. The large brown eyes had lostthesparkie and the changing light that once plerced my boyish foolish heart. Clad in a simple gown, belted at the waist and hanging in folds to the deck her dark hair parted across her broad forehead and confined ina simple knot, and with a strange calm onthe face that once ex- pressed her varying moods astheycame and went, she seemed to me to be another, a bet- ter, an almost unearthly Helen, come to me here to atone for the great wrong that she bad done me, and for the moment I forgot my bate. My uncle gave his arm to Helen, and they walked the deck while 1 watched them. What did it mean, this failure of Helen to recognize me? Was I right in thinking the girl to be Helen Rankine. Yes; I could not be mistaken. The graceful walk, some of its old time spring and elastici gone, to be sure, was the walk of Helen; the turn of the lovely neck; the pose of the head were hers. Then the story of the sailor, Jones, the forecastie gossip that she was going out to India to join her soldier lover; how well it tallied with what she had told me on that fatal day when she spurned my proffered love. ButI would not dwell more on that. I will not now. I must force obey to forget, just for a little time, the past that I may solve the mystery of the present. My head throbs; my brain is in a whirl.

It was not her intention originally to enter into competition with the menagerie, but it’s a frozen fact that the two hippopotam) were nothing to her after she got fairly started. I may add that the difficulty was right there, the getting started. With the aid of two men and a step ladder my wife’s mother can climb upon a good, square-rigged horse with a stout leg under each corner of him, and do it so nicety that the beast will smile through bis tears; but with a bicycle it is , differ- ent. A bicycle has only two legs and neither of them can be depended upon to hold still in an emergency. | She enjoys equestrianism very much because she thinks that it reduces Too Much for One Man. her weight, but, as a matter of fact, it is much more likely to have that effect upon the borse. As a friend of dumb animals I ad- vised my wife’s mother to transfer her affec- to the bicycle. I told her that it was becoming very fashionable—so much so that the news- papers had begun to libel celebrated actresses and others—Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter among the others—by saying that they were experts with the wheel. lalso told my wife’s mother that I knew of a girl who reduced her weight twenty pounds by bicycle riding. This wasafact. She broke her spine in three places and isn’t out of the hospital yet. 1 did not mention the latter part of this to my wife’s mother, because I wouldn't beso mean as to spoil her sport with needless anx- lety, as, after all, she might live through this as she had through many other tulngs that I had confidently depended upon. My representations decided her, and she prepared for a great social success on wheels. She did not care to appear in the park without preparatory practice, soshe hired a bicycle and had it brought to the house. With this she experimented in the hall outside the door of our flat during the daytime, when the mon were down town. She did not learn to ride up and down stairs, though she went part of the way down once very success- fully, but she acquireda pose which was some- what easier and more dignified than if the are had been a brush fence, though not much. Then she decided that it was safe to try the park. There is aplace close by where women can hire bicycles, and there my wife’s mother asked for and obtained one with a ——— constitution and a gentle disposition. She led the docile machine toa secluded spot, where she thought she could get a good start before sailing out before the admiring gaze of the multitude. Then she tried to mount, but it wasn’t so easy there as in the hall with the bannisters to hang on to. She tried it till the machine got tired and then it lay down and she fell over it. At the next attempt she put her foot through one wheel and sat down on the other one. At this mo- ment Park Policeman No, 13 hove in sight. „Can I help ye thin wid that haythin ma- chine, Idunno?’’ he inguired politely. „Jean ride real well on my own bDicycie,’’ said my wife's mother with true feminine mendacity, ‘‘but this ugly thing lies down every time I look at it. „It looks daycint and doolle.“ said No. 13, „but the dayvil is in them things.

No. 13's feet slipped slowly out from under him; m wife’s mother attempted to fly, and succeed so well that when she and the bicycle, after a short aerial performance, descended together, they found „ 18’s prostrate body waiting for them. He was removed from under the wreck much broader, but not nearly so thick as be bad been before. Neverthelees the spectators, of whom there were now a large number, regarded the affair as a great joke, and fifty or a hundred of them offered to hold the machine for nothing if my wife’s mother would try it again. Probably they thought that they conld biuff ber out. This mistake arose from not having bad her in the family, She was in a condition of mind to ride that bicycle if nothing had remained of it but one wheel. eno however,. it was found to be su tially uninjured. About a dozen men then grabbed the machine while the female cyclist of our family . mount.

Some of these possibilities occurred to my wife’s mother after the speed of the ma- chine began to get away from her, and they destroyed her peace of mind. But nothing serious happened. She ran down the long bill beautifully, and her headway took her about forty feet up a short, steep incline that faced the other slope. She tried to er her pro- gress up this slope but it wouldn't work. In- stead she began to gather speed in the oppo- site direction;so she gracefully alighte@don her back, and picked up the machine which had run into a tree. She led the bicycle up the hill, and en- deavored to look as if not ing had happened. She was not wholly successful for her fame had spread and there seemed to be people all over the place who wanted to hol the machine, and then see the fun afte rds. Among them was a large, fat patriarch who said that he was an expert. He really did understand the subject very well, for he put my wife’s mother on it without much trouble, and suggested that she should ride round and round on the level space at the top of the hill and not try to go down. She tried this plan and succeeded fuirly well. Meanwhile the expert strolled down the hill. Probably he knew that my wife’s mother would get down there eventually. She got there sooner than he expected. For riding a bicycle a woman wears a round, full skirt, much like an ordinary riding habit, but not so long. Now there happened to be a good breeze on the eminence, and before my wife’s mother was aware of it her skirt had biown out like a great balloon and was saliing off with her before the wind, and the wind blew straight down the hill. Forty miles an hour was nothing to her speed at the moment when the obliging expert turned and saw her bearing down upon him. He was too completely taken by sur- prise to dodge, so he fied. A half dozen other pedestrians and several dogs joined in the stampede. They made good time, but it was no use; they couldn't beat the air ship on wheels. The flying machine passed over the fat — oes and ground his nose into the sand. * 4) My Wife’s Mother Under Fuli Sail. The bicycle was deflected from its course by this collision, and made a jump for ashady nook where oneof the park gardeners was eating his lunch sitting on a board across two barrels. The bicycle went under the board, and my wife’s mother went over it. She took the gardener with her. He did not mean to elope, but he couldn't help it. He had no time to reflect. They both landed ina large tank, which the gardener had been filling asa sort of reservoir. Undoubtedly if I had seen thisevent with all its break neck possibilities I should have thought myself in great luck. But I wasn’t. My wife’s mother escaped entirely uninjured, but the — 1 was a wreck andl had to pay for it. Still it is a fact that although bicycling is getting more fashionable for women, it has permanently lost its popularity in our family. HOWARD FIELDING.

WicHiITA, Kan., August 31.—A member of the Southwestern Kansas Milling Association said to-day that in his opinion the scheme for a central office to handie the product of the mills belonging to the association would be a success. The association takes in a territory that can well be described as the southwest quarter of the State. Theft are thirty-one milis in the association, with an output of be- tween four and five thousand barrels Gally. Formerly each mill handled its own ne uct, but now it is pro to orm an association by which a central office, located at the most convenient int In the district, shall find a market for the entire as- sociation. Itis argued that the individual members of the association will be greatly benefited, as the output can be handled more easily by train loadsto Southern markets or export, that it would do away with a grade of middie men, each coming in for a profit, which finding its way tothe miller reducing his profits. A ——s will be heid some where in the district in a few days to make the final arrangements in the matter. The movement has to a certain extent spread over the south half of the State. The southeast quarter is now agitating the same question and waiting to a certain extent to see what the Arkansas Valley will do in the matter. Some ofthe milis in both sections are run- ning day and night, and it is hoped the ar- rangement will succeed in giving all a twen- ty-four hour daily run. It has been suggest- ed that the anti-trust law of the last is- lature will forbid any such an agreement, but this is answered that all the miliscan sell their outfits to a central agent, who can dis- ose of it individually and the wording of the aw can be evaded. .

KANSAS QUAKERS, Proposed Establishment of a University at Wichita, ° By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATOR. Wicaita, Kan., August 31.—The Quaker 80. ciety of this city for some months have been trying to make arrangements for the estab- lishment of a university, to be known as the John Bright University. They have not her- alded their intentions nor made any outward ado about it, but have been working earnestly nevertheless. They have endeavored to get a donation of $150,000 In addition to halt that amount, which is now on hand. The donation comes from branches of the society in the Eastern States and about one-third of it from England. Everything was agreed upon to-day and as soon as papers can Fo to England and return the arrangements will be completed. 3 It is intended to make this the only univer- sity of the society in the State and give it the undivided support of the church. The plans have been adopted by tae trustees, which call for a building of stone three stories high, 150 feet by 180, with tower 120. Ground has been donated, over ten acres, and includes a beau- tiful plot for the building. The members of the society are quite well pleased with the success attending the recent efforts in behalt of the institution to be known as the John Bright University. GoTo John E.

And many Democratic papers are saying 80 to the present board. Ee A BRIBE FOR MONTANA. The Republicans have started out to convert Montana by promising her cattle- growers a tariff ‘on green hides, which have declined from 12% to6cents since the Republicans abolished the tariff on the article. The Montana Democrats can of course be as much in favor of protect- ing hides as the Louisiana Democrats are in favor of protecting sugar or the Mis- souri Democrats lead, and we may ex- pect them to denounce the Republicans roundly for making hides free and then trying to carry Montana by pretending to favor a protective tariff on them. But neither party in Congress can afford to strike a blow at the leather industry, which is one of the very few of our man- ufactures that can show a considerable and increasing export trade. We now produce and consume more leather than can be made fromthe entire home yield of hides. Consequently we bave to im- port $25,000,000 worth of hides, and the question simply is whether we had not better do that than pay England $50,000,- 000 or more for the leather we now make out of those hides. The difference of $25,000,000 or more is so, much saved to American tanners. In 1872 when we collected a duty of 10 per cent on green hides we exported but $2,800,000 worth of leather. The duty was abolished and our exports of leather and manufactures of leather have been stead- ly increasing ever since, till they amount- ed last year to $10,745,589, or nearly half enough of leather manufactures to pay for the hides we import. The fact that in spite of a duty of 20 per cent we last year imported over $6,000,000 worth of leather and its manufactures proves very conclu- sively that we are not getting the raw material any cheaper than is necessary to pretect our tanners. If we tax green hides we must raise the duty on leather, and that means a leather trust forcing consumers to pay at least $100,000,000 more for the tanned leather that now costs them $250,000,000 a year. That leather trust would probably be as successful in keeping down the price of hides as the Beef Com- bine has been in putting down the price of cattle. — — — — PLUTOCRACY AND PARTIES. One of the advocates of the legislation that has created a plutocracy in this coun- try says that Coal Baron Scorr, Sugar „Baron HAVEMEYER, Railroad Baron **BrickE, Salt Baron BurRT, Standard Oil „Barons PAYNE and WHITNEY, and two out of every three other monopolists „and plutocrats of the country, are lead- ing members of the Democratic party.“ Unfortunately for the country this is nottrue. Wereit true that a majority of the monopolists and plutocrats created and benefited by our legislation in favor of monopolies are Democrats — if rich Democrats were the chief beneficiaries of a system and policy that have multiplied our milhonaires and gorged corporations with wealth by aiding them to rob the masses—the. Republican party and its organs would not have made such a des- perate fight and raised such an enormous corruption fund to maintain and perpet- uate that policy. If Railroad Baron Brice is a Democrat, Railroad Barons STANFORD, HUNTING- TON, GOULD, VANDERBILT, DEPEW and dozens of others are Republican leaders far more prominent both as plutocrats and as politicians than ever BRICK was. ROCKEFELLER alone is worth more than all the Democrats he has taken into his Standard Oil monopoly for their help in controlling parties and warding off hostile legisiation. In the coal combine there are a dozen Republicans richer and more potent in politics than their Democratic partner, Scott. If the presence of a Democrat or two in theSugar Trust would induce the Republicans in Congress to crush it, we could wish that more Demo- crats might be found connected with it. As for the salt monopoly, the only Demo- crat yet pointed out among its barons is Salt Baron Burt,” who last year head- ed the ticket pledged to legislation in fa- vor of free salt and against salt trusts and combines. Of course wealthy Democrats have the same right as wealthy Republicans to en- gage in robbery under the forms of law, and when a monopoly is created for the Carnegies, Stanfords or other Republican capitalists it is their obvious policy to take in on the ground floor a few such Democrats as HEWITT, BAR NUM, Paxxx, them to the front as Democratic leaders, to check or head off Democratic crusades against protection for trusts and monopo- lies. If the proceeds were more equally divided between the two parties it would still be robbery, but there would be more ground for hope that Republican organs would begin to see the enormity of it and help to abolish it. — — — don shows a remarkably compact organ- den of labor.

An English Syndicate Perfecting a Pian to Control the Leather Product of the United States—The Concerns Already in the Deal—Who Is Pushing the Scheme— Where the Profits Come In. By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. Boston, Mass., August 31. HE well-known financier, ‘Ferdinand A. Wyman, Esq., whose successful handling of the Shaw es- state a few years ago brought him into consid- erable prominence as a lawyer and financier, and Banker Walter Potter of the banking house of Potter, Lovell & Co., both of this city, will sail for England in the Um- bria to-day, carrying in their pockets all the tanneries in New England and New York. They have been quietly at work for the past six weeksinthe interest of English capital- ists, and, as evidence of their success, they take with them all the plans and figures for surrendering the control of this big industry to an English syndicate. A SURPRISE TO DEALERS. The formation of this new trust will be a big surprise to dealers in leather. It meansa de- parture from the regular method of trade in this city and the formation of a gigantic busi- ness plant. Already $10,000,000 have been pledged by English capitalists to obtain con- troiofthe sole leather tanneries in Maine, Massachusetts and New York, and they con- template even greater thingy. If this venture proves a success, as it undoubtedly will, the syndicate will have $50,000,000 more at its dis- posal for the purpose of extending its control 80 as to embrace all the tanneries in the coun- try. At present the syndicate has secured control of twenty-three tanneries in the States named. Noeffort has been made to purchase the Pennsylvania tanneries, al- though they have been offered for sale to the trust. The scheme was first broached about two months ago to Mr. Potter, whose position at the head of the big commerciai banking house has given him an insight tothe different lines of trade, better, perhaps, than most men have. It is not widely known, but it is a fact, that Mr. Potter has been one of the prime movers in many*ofthe schemesin which En- glish capitalists have lately been investing. He had proved himself a successful organizer of trusts, and when the English began to cast covetous glances at the tanneries, he was asked to engineer the scheme. Mr. Wyman was selected as the best man fitted to feel the pulse ofthe owners and to push the negotia- tions. Last night he succeeded in getting the last of the tanneries and to-day he and Mr. Potter started for New York to take the steamer for England. In the past six weeks Mr. Wyman bas spent most of his time in the back woods and in the tanneries that are scattered through the States, investigating their worth. In every instance he found the owners ready to talk business with him, and hé had notrouble in securing the refusal of the properties. The profits of the bustness had not been so great that the owners could refuse to sell out at a fair market Value, and especially as the owners are to be retained as managers at a salary about as large as their yearly profits had been. DETAILS OF THE SCHEME. The scheme proposed by the syndicate is as follows: Having secured the legal ownership of the tanneries they will be run as one large lant. There will be one central house in oston, which will be used as the headquar- ters of the syndicate. As fast as the hides leave the different tanneries they will be brought to the Boston house to be put on the market. The former owners of the tanneries will be the managers of their plants and there will be officers to superintend the entire sys- tem. One great A which will be wrought is the simplifying of the work. At present each tannery is forced to run séy- eral grades of hides, each of which requires a different process of treatment. This naturally 8 the work and in- creases the cost. Under the new regime no tannery will run more than one line of hides. The change will, in itself, be a source of much profit to the syndicate. The present owners are forced, by the demands of the — to do a business in which there is little profit. The only great drawback to the business is the lack of ready money. This will not be the case with the syndicate, and in that fact will be another reason for their success. Few people realize how closély locked up is the money invested in this business. It is impossible to realize any quick returns on the investment. The owner must borrow unless he has unusual resources, and the interest which he is thus forced to pay out makes quite a hole in the profits. When once the bides are purchased and delivered at the tannery, itis six months before there can be any return for the money paid for the same. Nearly all the hides used for sole leather are imported, and cash must be paid for them before they are delivered. The most co nmon hides used for this purpose are called Hints“ because of their unusual hardness. PROCESS OF TANNING. The first step necessary to get the hide ready for 8 is to soak it four days to re- move the hair. itis milled tor six hours or so to make sure that no hairs remain and then it is laced in the ceilar and allowed to sweat for four days. This treatment softens the leather still more and prepares itfor the aired bath. This course of handling generally insts ten days. Nearly three weeks are thus consumed in getting the hide ready for tanning. Then it is subjected to treatment in six different baths of tan, varying in degrees froms to 85. The hide remains 5 days in the first bath, 8 in the sec- ond, 12 in the third, 16 in the fourth, 26 in the fifth and 60 in the sixth. After that it is scrubbed for three days and is then left in the roller fortwo days. Then the hide is ready to be made into sole leather, but it has been 170 days since the hide was left at the tannery; this, too, is under the most favorable circum- stances, when there is no delay in handling the hide. During all this time the employes must be paid and the other running expenses must be met. The expense of gathering the bark for tan- ning ie another heavy drain upon the purse ofthe owner. The bark is peeled in May, June and July, but can’t be hauled to the tannery until the next winter. The workmen thus employed must be paid 11 and it ig generally done on borrowed money. WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE TRADE. With unlimited means at hand the syndicate will be spared this heavy item of expense. Capital is the one thing needed, and the syn- dicate will not lack for that. With additional capital the larger purchases of hides can be made, timé will be saved by sending the different grades to certain epeci- fied tanneries, and the improved quality of the stock thus turned out will bring better prices than are now quoted—at least such is the plan as outlined by the syndi- cate. The scheme when carried into effect will revolutionize thetrade. The centraliza- tion scheme is a bold one, and offers a broad field for speculation as tothe outcome. At present the leather turned out by the tan- neries included in the purchase is handled almost éxolusively by Boston houses, of which there are half a dozen or so—and there are some good sized ones, too—into one large use. When Méssrs. Wyman and Potter return the deal willhave been completed. The o rs bave not yet been selected, but it is intimated that the active m ment will be left entirely to those on this side of the water. e promoters of the scheme will advance the ital and be satisfied with a reasonable profit on the investment. If they get absolute control of all the tanneries in the country there will be no reason wh cannot raise the price figure they may désife. secured ntrol land, and outsiders cannot bark to run an opposition. ee ee THE WEST NOT IN IT.

THB IMPORTANCE TO ST. LOUIS, however, in view of what has been done as reported, cannot be overlooked. St. Louis is rapidly coming up to front place in the shoe trade.

JAMES CLARK of James Clark & Co., among the largest deal- ers in leather and shoe findings in the West, said this morning: I have never heard of the trust and do not know whatitis. Judging from this it may ut up prices, but it eannotcontrol the market. 0 get probably 65 per cent of our leather in the West, the uppers largely in the North west. It may affect the price of sole leatber more as it is tanned largely in Pennsylvania. The effect, however, will be felt more in the Kast than in the West. Our manufacturers depend largely on the Western and Middle States for supplies. Chleago and Milwaukee give us most of our leather. They also send their goods East, right into Boston. The East also uses more Pennsylvania sole leather than the West. This market is now using a great deal of California leather, and it is becoming quite a feature. There is one point in this connec- tion, we are in competition, and notin sym- pathy with the East. We are aiming to get all the trade of the West, and we are doing it very largely. What is the tanning interest here?’’ ‘‘Itis very small. The only two a ones are confined to belting and harness leather. The others are small, and they do not tan any shoe leather. They are mostiy confined to sheepskins, and these they finish or sell in the pickle, whichever is found to be the most profitabie. They are not recognized as a feature at all.

By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatcn. ASHINGTON, D. O., August 3. —Dr. Nor- vin Green, Pres- dent ofthe Western Union Telegraph Co., arrived in Washington at 9:15 last night and drove immediately to Will- ard’s. This after- noon he spent much of the time in his room planning how he might best lay siege to the fortifications of the Postmaster-General. In the afternoon he drove to the Post-office Department and spent almost two hours in the company of Mr. Wanamaker. The matterof telegraph rates for Government business was only one of the topics discussed in the conference. It was only a minor one. The real business which Jay Gould and John Wanamaker canvassed 80 long at Saratoga and which drew Dr. Green to the capital for its further consideration is nothing less than a postal telegraph scheme, which the Postmaster-General has had in his head for a long time. The main features of it are the transmission of telegraphic messages at reduced rates by the Western Union company, and the collection and delivery of the mes- sages in consideration of the privilege by the Post-office Department. ONE OF HIS BOLD STROKES. Mr. Wanamaker has had in mind for two or three months some plan of this sort. His friends say that it is simply one of those bold strokes by which he has built himself up in his private business, and by which, if the | pending negotiations do not fail, more will be done to popularize the Post-office Department and do credit tothis Administration than any one thing since the days of Blair. Some go 80 tar as to say that the Postmaster-General’s offer of 1 milla word to the Government bus- iness in place of the old rate of 1 cent a word has been simply a club with which he has been able to bring the Western Union to nego- tiating terms in the larger business. It is cer- tain that the postal telegraph scheme was uppermost in the Saratoga conference, and that the arrangement of details is the princi- pal task which Mr. Wanamaker and the Pres- ident of the telegraph company havé now in hand. The Postmaster-General has felt from the beginning of the controversy ov its rate for Government business that it was in the power of the Post-office Department to insist upon the mill a word rate or at any rate if it chose, yet he has been disposed all along to compromise the matter to the satisfaction ofthe Western Union. For two weeks the impression has been at the Treasury Depart- ment, where the irregularity and confusion incident to the misundérstanding as to just whatthe rate was has been most annoying, that the compromise would be a *‘substantial reduction’’ from the old rate of a cent a word. Acting Secretary Batcheller had an interview with the Postmaster-General last night on this point. He dwelt upon the necessity of some sort ot action and came away con- vinced that a reduction from the cent a word tate would be made unless there should be an unexpected hitch lu the proceedings. FAVORS A COMPROMISE. Mr. Clarkson, the First Assistant Postmas- ter-General, has been out of town for two days, but it is no secret at the Post-office De- partment that his advice has been constantly fora compromise. He has suggested either two-fifths of a cent a word for night messages and one-half a cent a word for day messages, or, if these terms cannot readily be obtained, one- halt a cent a word for a night rate and three-fourths of a cent for day rate. With the desire and the tendency of all the Government officials most concerned, therefore, for a com- promise, though they believe a reduction should be insisted upon, and evidently intend to insist upon it, and with the officers of the Western Union dispose to treat, it has been predicted with icertainty that a reduced rate for Government business would be an- nounced within a few days. Nothing can be learned to-night about the details of to-day’s conference from eitherthe President of the Western Union or the Postmaster-General. Mr. Wanamaker said late this afternoon at the department that there was no information tobe had onthe subject. He seemed sur- prised that anybody should have learned of the presenee of Dr. Green in Washington. The Doctor said late this evening, at the Met- ropolitan Club, that he would not discuss in the c what he was discussing pri- vately. There was as much secrecy about the negotiationsas if the annexation of Canada and Mexico were involved. Only the two meh most concerned do the business. Those who advise them, if any do, ate pledged to say not a word. THE PLAN OUTLINED. The plan which the Postmastér-General hopes to see go into effect soon, therefore, and which the Western Union people seem about ready to accede to, can be outlined only roughly. But it can de outlined about as accurately, excepting details, as it was out- lined at the conference. The free delivery system is to be utilized for the dollection and distribution of telegraphic messages, and the telegraph company in return for extra business which itis believed this innovation would result in, is to send the messages at a reduced rate. The point appeared to be that the cost of the delivery of messages, which is ont of the beaviest which a — company has to bear, will be borne by the Government without such extra expense to itself and that the business men or the people generally who use the special delivery stamp or are not quite satisfied with that method and don’t quite feel able to pay telegraph tolle, or who would send short letters espe- clally by telegraph if the tolles were lighter will be greatly accommodated and with the administration of the Post-o partment. leased ce De- GOULD CONSENTS. A detailed contract by which the telegraph company would to send messages at a given low rate on the presentation of certain stamps by the senders or by the carriers on particular routes who had stamped messages, and Post - office De to redeem t eliver the messages after they ceived, is what Mr.Wanamaker and Dr. Green are now believed to be discussing, It n in- ferred that Mr. Gould, who w & at the Saratoga conference, but who not been able or who has not thought it worth while to come here, has consented to the gen eral proposition, and that Dr. Green, who understands the minutia of the telegraph business as baps no other man does, has been left to have it out with the Postmaster- Grnerai as to the special provisions and ar- rangemente. Mr. Wanamaker is never effusive, but late this afternoon he did betray some what the sat- isfaction of the father of a bouncing » Dr. po cn is _ — Dae em — but this ening he seemed on vase good terme with himeeit.

CHIcAGO, August 31.—A local paper this motning says: ‘‘When Jay Gould and the bankers’ triangle of New York first proposed the formation of a railroad clearing-house, Mr. C. P. Huntington, the Southern Pacific magnate, was a party to the scheme. When it was found the clearing-house plan could not be carried and the formation of the so- called Gentlemen's Association was suggested, Mr. Huntington withdrew from the combina- tion on the ground that he did not believe the **association of gentlemen would fill the bill and that he had a plan of bis Own, the time for the consummation of which was not ripe. The Interstate Commerce Railway Associa- tion (Gentiemen’s Association) having proved a complete failure, steps are now being taken to cafry out Mr. Huntington's plan, which contemplates a general consolidation of rail- road interests west ofthe Missouri River, the lines east of that river to work out their own salvation and make whatever arrangements they may. That such ts the intention is indi- cated by the statements made dy Mr. Magoun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the At- chinson, Topeka & Santa Fe, a member of the banking firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co., ot New York, who said it would be useless to continue the present associations as now organized and there must be either one association covering all lines east and west of the river, or the Mis- sour! River must be made a dividing ye one association east and another west of the river. Mr. Magoun furtper said the New York bankers and their backers are in no way re- sponsible for the formation of the Gentle- men’s Association with four or five auxiliary associations. The riginal proposition of the bankers was legislated out of existence by the Chicago managers and to please the Alton and other opponents of that proposition the pres- ent unsatisfactory organizations were formed. n further confirmation of the rumors that a new deal is to be made to which Mr. Hunting- ton will be a party, comes the report from New York that closer relations between Jay Gould’s Southwestern system of roads, the Atchison and Huntington’s Southern Pacific rep yer bas been established. It is also stated that both Mr. Gould and Mr. Huntington are acting in concert to secure control of all Southwestern lines. It was also learned yes- terday that the managers of the roads in the Gentlemen's Association have been informed by the New York bankers that the present organizations could not be continued an that they must take measures to bring about complete reorganization. This contemplates but one association, which is to be in the nature of the original clearing-house plan. Accordingly a Committee of Presidents has been appointed to devise plans for the con- summatlon of a new deal. This committee willhave a conference with the New York Bankers’ Triagpgle and Jay Gould, Huntington and other railread magnates in New York ina few days. Chairman Walker is now on « vacation in the East and Chairman Midgely left on a vaca- tion yesterday, and it is understood they will both be present at the New York conference. in ten eas You Can Learn French lesen: — joining the large class of readers ot the Sun - DAY Fosr-DiIsrATORH.

Hiteh- cock for the Collier estate several per- sons of large finan- cial means have turned their atten- tion to the neigh- borhood. Mr. T. G. Watts, who ne- gotiated the sale for Mr. Backer, said yesterday that he would gladly give $500 foratwo-year option to buy the portion he gold at $100,000. It is very evident, though, that the prop- erty is not upon the market. The purchasers pave dec ed to make improvements. It may not be contemplated to commence building this fall, but the ground is to de put in first-class con- dition. It will be graded and King’s highway will be paved with a Telford roadway between Maryland and Berlin avenues and an eight- foot walk of granitoid will be put down along thatfront. Mr. Hitchcock has engaged Mr. Julius Pitzman to make the necessary surveys for the purpose of arriving at an estimate of the probable cost. This preliminary work bas been done including the making ot pro- fies snowing the contemplated changes. The King’s high way frontage is 450 feet, and that on Maryland avenue 817. To grade this property Mr. Pitzman says it will cust $4,000 and $3,400 more to pave King’s highway and put down the granitoid walk. Speaking of this projected improvement, Mr. Pitzman said it has only been within the past three'years that St. Louis property owners could be induced to invest money for the im- provement of subdivisions, as they are now doing, but since they realize the benefits ac- cruing from such an outlay of money they are entering generally and heartily into these en- terprises, and the prospects are that within the next three years this city will have the most beautiful additions of any place in the country. The Forest Park addition is just now com- mencing to show what its future beauties will be, and it will take at least two years’ growth before the landscape effects of the place, with its ornamental foliage and shrubery, can be jully appreciated. Tothe west of this the Catlin addition, ex- tending from Union avenue along the north line of Forest Park to the city limits, is re- eelving the finishing touches. This work is being done at an Outlay bf about $70,000, that amount of money being xpended upon the eastern section of the property situated between the River Des Peres and nion avenue. An immense sewer for a this part of the addition is about finished and the grading is nearly done. Liddell avenue along the south lina of the property is being extended westward, a distance of a mile and aquarter. Grading for the roadway will soon be finished, and Mr. Pitzman says he antici- pates that as soon as Mr. Catlin returns home irom Europe he willlet the contract fur the fullimprovement of the avenue with Telford pavement to correspond with that division of the excellent drive lying between Forest Park and Grand avenue. In anticipation of this improvement the County Court of St. Louis County, atClayton, has already graded and macadamized its section of Lindell avenue, called Forsythe boulevard, all the way out to the county seat, and when Mr. Catlin perfects the gap in front ot his property there will be acontinuousdrive of nearly ten miles west through.one ofthe most diversified sections of suburban territory. Another site which will soon attract a deal of attention isthe Compton Hill subdivision. This place has been In course of improvement fornearly two years past. Grand avenue, southof the suspension bridge, will have to be paved though before this gem in the southern part ot thecity can be reached over agood and direct drive. PROPERTY SALES. Joseph T.

Brooklyn Wins Easily From Kansas City and New York Downes Boston—Gearidine Lowersa Keeord at Morris Park—Fast Trotting and Pacing-—Sporting News From All Points. HE chances for the Browns to win the pennant are growing »beau- -tifully less. Brooklyn continues to put up a strong game, while tne m@Browns are playing more poorly than they have at any time this season, In a series of three games played on their own grounds against the Kansas City club, the champions °& were able to win only one, the Cowboys tak- ing one of the games nd playing them a tie in the other. Then the Browns start off on their trip and lose their first game to the weak Columbus club. Out of these four games, all ot which they shouid have won, the Browns secured but one victory. King let up wonderfully in his work and seldom pitches a strong game. Chamberlain is the only twirler of the club on whom they can rely to do effective work. Stivetts’ only failing is that he is wild, but if he was pitched more he would no doubt get over this trouble, and the rest King and Chamberlain would thus secure would improve their work. Another defect with the Browns is that they are not hitting the ball. * — There are afew pitchers in the Association who prove stumbling-blocks to the Browns. Mark Baldwin of Columbus is the most marked example of this kind. The Browns can never hit him in the first game of a series in which he goes in against them. Foreman of the Baltimores, Weyhing of the Athietics, and Conway of Kansas City are also terrors to them in the first game of a series, although they generally hit Baldwin and Foreman hard when they face them the second time in a series. These piteners appear to need a leng rest before they can pitch an effective game—at least two full days’ rest. They can- not go into the box every second day and be effective—at least not against the browns. Ewing of Louisville has also pitched some strong games against the champions, Dut has not been so successful in defeating them, be- cause he has been poorly supported. - . * Brooklyn is at its old tricks. When they play on their home grounds, Byrne always makes it convenient for the regular umpires to be absent, and he has some substitutes there that would beat any club on earth. At the game yesterday the regular a was again absent and the Kansas City Club accepted Bushong, one of the Brooklyn players, having more confidence in his hon- esty than in the judgment of the substitute umpires, Brooklyn has had more games um- pired on its grounds by substitute umpires than all the other clubs in the Association combined. Whicheverof the substitute um- pires officiate, the visiting team always regrets it Was not one ofthe others. There isno use in attempting to win a gaine against any of them. It would not seem necess for the Brooklvns to putin substitute umpires for Byrne has so strong aoe with the vo yy umpires that the club invariably gets all the best of the de- cisions even when traveling. It is the um- ires who have placed them where they are.“ way from nome they get the best part of the umpiring, and at home they get all of it. Is it any wonder the win games? ‘ihe only strange thing is thatthey should be able to lose any. 7 * Charley Daly will leave in a few days for Omaha, where the coming week he will meet Jim Lindsay, light-weight of that place, for a purse of before the Gate City Ath- letic Club. George Grassmuck and other St. Louisans will accompany him. Chariey has trained carefully for the mill, and if he proves successful as he anticipates he will, it will probably mark a new erain his life. He will then enter into fighting more us a business than be ever has before, and endeavor to ar- Vic: u mateb with Jack Mo- Auiiffe, Billy Myers or some of the other light-weight cracks of the country. hen he met Myers before, he fought him thirty-three rounds, which is the longest any man ever stood before the Streator boy, except when McAuliffe fought him a draw. Daly has a great deal of science and splendid wind and staying qualities. He has the advantage of being a two-handed fighter and is one of the few men inthe coun- try whe really can use both hands well. His only defect bas been that he did not nit hard enough, but he is improving in that respect every day. No light-weight in the country can duck as well with his head as Daly, and everything considered he should certainly make a very good man in his class. Yesterday's Games. COLUMBUS, 18; sr. LOUIS, 4. King was put in to pitch for the Browns at Columbus yesterday and was batted terriflo- ally, there being sixteen hits made off him. Bald win who did the twirling for Oolumbus was effective as usual against the Browns. They only made three singies off him and he struck out thirteen men.

Three Water Department Men Laid Off—A New Bridge in Forest Park—Inspector About the Harbor—Municipal Matters, Street Commissioner Burnet has a large gang of men and carts at work on Grand ave- nue, from Easton avenue to the Fair Grounds, putting the street in as good shape as is pos- sible under the circumstances, for the Fair. The roadways are being gone over and dug up with picks and nor- els, and then leveled, after which the big steam roller is run over it: macadam is being put in wherever it is needed. The fixing of the street is only temporary, as it is the intentinn of the Board of Public Improve- ments tohave it thoroughly reconstructed next year. The matter was taken up early this spring, as all the members of the board acknowledged that the street was very much in need of repairs. Two kinds of wooden pavements were suggested, and also Telford, which is macadam with a top dressing of red cement gravel. Then when it came toa decision and achoice of material « disa- greement as to which was the best arose be- tween the members of the board and the own- ers of the property along the street. consequence of this diversity of opinion the street was left unrepaired until it became so bad that it was almost impassable tor ve- hieles. It is expected, however, that it will be in good shape by the time the Fair begins. The Post-DIsPaTcH repeatedly direéted at- tention of the city officers tothe condition of this street, with the gratifying results above stated, The Condition of Twelfth Street. The condition of Twelfth street from the Union Depot to Locust street, which was de- scribed in the PosT-DISPATCH yesterday after- noon, was spoken of by the Street Commis- sioner this morning. Hewsaid~ There are a few things there now which are simply an out- rage on the public and should be removed ce engage Those sheds of the Union Depot Railway o. should not be allowed to stand another day, and there is no reason in the world why a stable should be allowed ona public thoroughiare. The relay station could be located elsewhere very easily, and it is not at all necessary that the horses should be changed at that exact spot. Now that the Exposition is about to be opened something should be done, as many people will come from the depot to the Exposition. Astothe sidewalks, I have issued notices to all own- ers along the street that if they do not repair where it is needed I will have it done and charge it. A New Bridge at Forest Park. Commissioner Klemm is going to have an opening at Forest Park to-morrow morning. It will be informal, but will open up to the public a drive which has been closed for some time. About 10 o’clock the Commissioner will drive over the rustic bridge leading from the main drive down toward the Wabash Depot. The bridge is finishea and is quite an addition to the ornaments of the park. Other improvements are being pushed ahead and several drives whieh have been little used heretofore on account of the dust on them are being fixed so that that trouble will be removed. Several water connections are being made and new drinking fountains put up. The plans for the pagoda and shelter on the picnic grounds are almost completed. Market and Asylum Plans. Building Commissioner Furlong said this morning: We are now at work on plans for the extension ofthe Insane Asylum, the Areade at Union Market,a new building at Quarantine and improvements and exten- sions for several of the other city Institutions. Our plans for the Union Market Arcade will be all alike in the more important points, but there will be several different arrangements of the minor details, so that the Board of Public Improvements will not have to make many aiterations. As to the Insane Asylum there ia not much of a departure to be made from the general style of construction. All we are trying to do is totaake the most ot the money we have. The Quarantine building will be a sort of gen- eral utility building, and will be used for liv- ing purposes, store rooms and offices. Some of the plans for repairs and altera- tions at the Work-house and Poor-house were sent to the board yesterday.’’ Pay Day at the City Hall, The employes of the City Treasury were kept on the jump to-day by the city employes, who were out aftertheir pay. Owing to the fact of the Ist of September being Sunday and the next day a e it was decided to pay the city em- ployesto-day. After the decision had been made andthe information generally cirou- lated. Mayor Noonan ordered all departments closed after Io clock to-day to allow the o f- cials to attend the funeral of Henry Shaw, consequently there was a rush for the Treas- ury in the morning as all wanted to get their pay before closing time. Everybody was paid except the employes of the institutions. Harbor and Wharf Matters. Harbor and Wharf Commissioner Murphy is gathering together facts and figures which will be submitted to¢he water ways convention which isto meet in Cincinnati on the 5th of 91 is Les gd will. show the amounts ap- propria for the harbor by the Government and by the city in the last twenty-five years. Beside these statements there will be a show- ing of the valaes of river front property owned by the city, and other important mat- ters connected with the harbor. Congressman Neidringhaus hes requested Mr. Murpby to furnish hita with this informa- tion, as he intends making it the basis for a strong effort to gain forthe harbor of 8t. Louis more recognition and better appropriations than it has been receiving. Inspector MeCI®lian in Chicago. Boiler Inspector Wm. McClellan is in Ohl - cago attending the second anunal meeting of the Association of Boiler Inspectors of the United States and Canada, of which he is President. A letter was received from him at bis office here to-day, in which he states that he Will not return for several days as he in- tends to devote that length of time to a study of the methods and system of the Chicago Elevator Ins re. The Boiler Inspector has the anor to appoint an inspector of elevators and freight d passenger lifts in this city under an or- Haahes passed at tho list session of the Mu- nicipal Assembly. The inspector has not yet been chosen, as the matter of appropriating a salary was neglected when the ordinance was assed. This defect in the ordinance will, owever, be remedied as soon as possible. - Laid Off From Work.

Because a new series of stock is issued every three months, and loans are made weekly. Because members who desire to become borrowers eg come into a current series and not be compelled 1 back dues for a number of years as in the old - e associations, ecause borrowers get all the money they give their notes for and pay interest on. Because borrowers are not required to pay all their premiums in advance, as in the old-style assovla- tions, but pay them in small mon thly installments as they are earned, Because all who pay their dues in advance are al- lowed interest thereon. Because those who desire to withdraw can do so without loss, receiving all the money they have paid in, with such profits as may have accumuiated to their stock. Because those having idle money can procure 8 per cent interest therefor by taking certificates ex- empt from taxation by the laws of the State.

MONTREAL, August 31.—One of the most serious collisions that has has taken place on the St. Lawrence in many years occurred yes- terday afternoon between the steamers Algeria and the Sovereign. The two boats were jammed with passengers, who to-night are congratulating themselves on their es- cape. The Algeria left the Thousand Islands this morning with many well known New Yorkers on her decks. Bowie Dash of the Coffee Ex- change and his family, Leicester Holme and Mr. and Mrs. Harrison B. Starr were some of them. All the rapids were safely passed except those at Lachine. Asthe Algeria steamed along by that thriving town, the Sovereignon berdown trip from Ottawa hove in sight. She came along atfullspeed just behind the Algeria. The boats shot in tandem order under the new Canadian Pacific bridge and slowed down a bit wreparatory to entering the Lachine Rapids. The Algeria was midway in the tor- rent when her passengers noticed that the Sovereign was approaching dangerously near to her stern. There was every indication that the Sovereign wanted to pass the Algeria. She isa lighter boat than the Algeria, and she headed for the shoal water, while the Algeria f remained in the channel. As the last ofthe rapids was reached, the Sovereign was abreast ofthe Algeriaand the two boats were about three feetapart. There was intense excitement among the passengers on both boats. The Algeria slowed up to let the Sovereign forge ahead. Instead of keep- ing up her pace the Sovereign, mistaking the intention of the Algeria, also slowed down. The Captains of the two boats then got intoa tangle witn their signals and while one was ringing and whistling to go anead, the other was doingthe same thing. The passengers expected the crash any moment. The two boats were now in the last rush of the last of the rapids and the passengers could reach over the rails and almost clasp each other’s hands. Three ladies onthe forward deck of the Algeria fainted. The Captain of the Sovereign finally determined to force his boat out of the precarious situation. He rang to go ahead at full speed, and at the same time the bells of the Aigeria gave the same order. The two boats came together witha crash the next instant. They lurched far over. The passengers heard the crunching and crashing of the boats as they ground into each other, and began to look around for life preservers. The Captains by this time were out of the pilot houses, as- suring the 2 that there was no danger. he Algeria’s engines were slowed down and the Sovereign, grinding her way along her sides, was soon out of the way. Both boats then proceeded under half steam to Montre. iss Flagler, sister of H. M. Flagier, and Miss Catlin of New York were passengers on the Sovereign. It was said to- night that the collision was caused by rivairy between the Captains of the boats. The racing fever of the ocean flyers has extended to Captains on the St. Lawrence. The New Yorkers who were aboard the boats think that the Lachine Rapids is not the place for such business. Citizen Train’s Fast. Ry Telegraph to the POst-DISPATCH. New YORK, August 31.—Citizen George Francis Train has concluded that it is about time to bring hislong fastto an end. Since April 18, nearly one hundred and forty days, he has abstained from all food, with the ex- ception, during the last two months, of a daily ration of twocups of chocolate anda littie fruit, and it is this same fruit question which brings the fast to a termimation. ‘‘You dee, said the citizen to a reporter, ‘*I found the greatest possible sustaining pow in berries, and now that the berry eas is over I really feel a sort of faintness. I’ve tried peaches, plums, prunes and other kinds of fruits in a vain endeavor to get that eculiar nourishment, but they don’t fill the ill, and I think it’s about time for mejto ‘sto the fast. Of course I’m hypnotized, and can’t4ell what I' do. The reporter asked him upon what article of food he would break his fast. ‘‘Beans,’’ said the psycho with a hu look and an audt- bie smack of hie lips.
