LOUIS, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1890. The Fall of the Christians: An Historical Romance of Japan in the 17th Century: From An- cient Manuscripts Discovered by the Author. By Prof. W. C. Kitchin, Ph. D., of Cambridge “The Fall of the Christians“ is a history of the desperate struggle of Christianity against Paganism in Japan over two hundred and fifty years ago. There were many thousands of Christians in Japan, and the attempt to exterminate them led to one of the most sanguinary struggles recorded in history. The heroism of the Christians, both men and women, and their fortitude under the most appalling dangers, as portrayed by Prof. Kitchin, will enlist the sympathies of the civilized world.

McNamara Will Be Considered Again by the Grand-Jury on Monday.

From now until Monday the boodlers whose indictment has not yet been determined upon may pass their time wondering who will go next. On Monday the Grand-jury will re- sume its consideration of the Post-DIsPaTCH indictments, and then the boodlers will begin to fall like nine-pins. The Post-DisPpaTcH fought single-handed and alone against the corrupt rascals who have betrayed their trust and turned honorable positions to which they were elected by the people into felonious money-making offices. The frauds were unearthed, the indictments found and are now being approved by the Grand-jury and signed by Foreman Charles H. Bailey. The disposition of tha boodlers to squeal was manifest as soon as they saw that the POST-DISPATCH had caught them. Circuit Attorney Clover has declined to permit the boodlers, who waited to testify, to go before the Grand-jury, becayse h ebas already at his command enough evidence to insure indict. ments. Mr. John H. Overall and Maj. C. C. Rain- water are still being interviewed for the pur- pose of expluining their transaction with Maj. J. H. McNamara, who, it is suspected, repre- sented otber interests. Mr. Overall is quoted as beginning the latest interview in this manner: There is no word of truth in these persist- ent references to Maj. J. H. McNamara having in his possession a sealed package, ostensibly pany, to be used for the purpose of corrupt- ing Assemblymen.’’ Here Mr. Overall raised arn open quéstion with Maj. McNamara, for in an interview, which appeared in the Posr- DISPATCH of Jan- uary 4, and which took place in the presence of a third person, Maj. McNamara sald: Mou don't deny, Mr. MeNamara. said the re- rter, after doubt as to the correctness of the story related had been called into question, that you held a one-ninutb of the stock in the Merchants’ Terminal Co. in trust for a member of the Council?’’ „don't know whether I did or not. ou don’t know whether vou did or not?“ ew + Jou held something?’’ Ves.“ „W hat was that?’’ ‘tA package. * „„What was lu that package!“ **T don’t know.“ **Were you oot told?“ % No, nor Inever asked.’’ **You never examined it?’’ **The package was sealed.“ **D d you not hold that un dy consent in trust for Mr. — et the Council?’’ never said it as for Mr. ——, it was held by me on en understanding with some of the Council.’ **What was that anderstanding?’’ **T don’t know.

MW ho did you give it to?’’ „Jo the persons who gave it to me, Maj. Rain- water, Maj. Perry, Seth Cobb and dqohn W. Over- all. In the same issue appeared an interview with Maj. Rainwater,also held.in the presence of a third person, in which this occurs: „Didn't Mr. McNamara hold a one-ninth portion of the stock in trust for the company and some of the Councilmen?'’ „No. ‘7 : **He held a package?’ “He may nave had something of that kind.“ „Was it for Councilmen?’’ „No. It may have been the contract we had with the attorney that he was holding. With this answer that question was dropped. Yet in the face of this Mr. Overall says there ia no truth in the story. Then why does Maj. McNamara say, both to the POST-DISPATCH and to the Grand-jury, that he did hold a package? And why did Maj, Rainwater say ‘*He may have held something of that kind,’’ but it may have been the contract we had with the attorney that he was holding?“ Mr. Overallthen produced his letter-book and the following letter was COPIED FOR PUBLICATION, toshow how clean the McNamara contract was: OFFICE OF THE MERCHANTS’ BRIDGE & TERMINAL KAILWAY Co., Sr. Louis, Feb. 19, 1889. J. H. McNamara, City: DEAR Str—On the — day of ——, 1888, we entered into the following contrac. with you: *This agreement, made and entered into by and between the promoters of the St. Louis Merchants’ Bridge & Terminal Railway Co., parties of the first part, and James H. McNamara, party of the second art 4 The parties of the first part agree to elect said James 3 McNamara a director of said railway com- pany when organized, and to make him a party to said enterprise to the interest of one-ninth thereof aid to share with said J.

McNamara shall be fully paid, but only that the said J. H.

Moreover, this clause is soratehed out of the original contract, and the letter does not explain when, why or by whom it was erased. ; And there are other things about ö THE COCONTRACOCT S quoted which the letter does not explain. It provides that McNamura shall receive one- ninth of the stock, not fully paid, but on the same terms with the other subscribers, and in consideration of this he pays to the Mer- Chants’ Terminal $1. Here are some pertinent questions: Did every one of the forty-two subscribers to that stock pay $1 in consideration of being permitted to subscribe? If so, who did they pay it to? Each other? Can the Merchants’ Teaminal show any other case on record where one of the sub- scribers to the stock of a company which has not been organized has paid a consideration of $1 to subscribe his money to the enterprise? Did Maj. Rainwater and Mr. Cobb and Mr. Perry and the rest of the forty-two subscribe under a contract? . H. Kern, another ground floor holder, who pulled Councilman Phil Rohan off the bill, did not. It Maj. McNamara was only a subscriber to the stock like the others, why did he make a contract and they none, except Kern, who re- ceived another one-ninth in a similar way? Why, when boodlers were afraid of the stock because they thought. that the franchise would be sold to Jay Gould before the stock was, ever made good, did the Merchants’ Terminal ut into this contract'a guarantee that the ranchise should not be sold? Maj. Rainwater have any such assur- Then why Maj. McNamara? What does the contract mean when it says Maj. McNamara should ſoin the parties of the first part in seduring the success of the enterprise?“ Why was a condition put lu that if the fran - chise was sold Maj. MeNamara was to receive one-ninth of the proceeds of sald sale? Did Maj. Rainwater have any such contract? Or Mr. Cobb? Or Mr. Perry? Then why Maj. McNamara? Why was Maj. MeNamara taken into the company? Maj. McNamara is pot a rich man and the promoters knew that he could not purchasea one-ninth interest iu such an enterprise as the Merchants’ Brid & Terminal Co., and Mr. Overall’s letter shows that he could not. He had never been cdpnected with any of the great enterprises of St, Louis, then why was a contract admitting im as a director on the ground floor in this entered into? Another thing: MeNamara and Kern, the two men who wich Sip their interests under the contracts which . Ovefali’s letter DOES NOT EXPLAIN, held atwo-ninths of the capital stock of the company and both admitted that they could not pay for those two-pinths. . ©. O. Rainwater, Mr. John D. Perry, Mr. S. W. Cobb, Mr. William G. Clark and thirty-six other promiment and wealthy men divided between them only seven-ninths, and each has 7-360 or about one-thirty- fifth. Doesn't this seem strange? McNamara holds one-ninth. Kern holds one-ninth. Rainwater holds one-thirty-fifth. Terry holds one-thirty- fifth. Cobb holds one-thirty-fifth. Clark holds one-thirty-fifth. Thirty-six rich men hold one-thirty-fifth each. . There is room for a fear thatthe capitalists who organized this company did not get as much as they wanted, for each of them had butathird of what McNamara had and one- sixth of what was held by McNamara and Kern together. Now as to the $2,260. Mr. Overall could probably entertain the community by ex- plaining why a man who has simply sub- scribed to the ste f a company, finding that he could not pay nubseription, should bimself be paid. There is something unusual about that. Mr. Overall is quoted as saying: ‘‘lransactions of this nature take place in real estate every duy. An option ona piece of property is se- cured, for which a cunsideration, nominal or real, is paid. When the date for closing the deal comes around, the party holding the op- tion declines to take it and loses his forfeit.’’ This is true, but Mr. Overall cannot find in the city of St. Louis a real estate agent who ever in his life paid the man who held an op- tion and failed to take it for $2, 250. Toe agent takes the forfeit, the holder of the option is a clean loser. If the Merchants’ Terminal had taken the $1 Maj. McNamara 80 strangely put up and he had lost that much, it would not have been so strange, but why, when he failed to take his option, did he receive $2,250 instead of losing $l. If Mr. Overall will establish this custom among real estate agents there will be plenty of men who wilispend alltheir time putting up forfeits on options, then failing to take them, And last of all, the fact is simply this: It bas been testified to before the Srend-iers thatit was the opinion that Maj. McNamara represented Councilmen. In other words Maj. McNamara was given money when he was con- sidered the representative of Councilmen who were being bribed by that money. But it was not known andnow Maj. McNamara must do all the explaining the Grand-jury wants; but the Grand-jury will yet find out whether it is true that through Gov.Francis the Merchants’ Terminal people were notified that Tom Rowe would represent a certain Councilman, and whether Tom Rowe and the Merchants’ Ter- minal people together selected Maj. McoNa- mara. Grady Must Testify Again. There has been manyahearty laugh over School Director Brady’s story of how a member of the House of Delegates offered him a bribe to vote to reinstate Janitor Ahearn, but there is more in the story than was at firat supposed. Brady testified before the Grand- jury, and now it is said that the story has been proved true withan important altera- tion. Instead of the member being the source of the bribe he acted only asthe messenger of acity official who is more or less connected with the city’s finances, and he bad in his pocket between $500 and $600, which was given him py this ny official to pay to Brady on the spot if he would consent to vote ter Ahearn. This is another — whe little episode that will result in a sensational indictment.

NATURAL GAS THE CAUSE OF A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AT COLUMBUS, o. A Stone and Brick Building Broken Into Fragmente—The Debris Hurled in All Di- rections—Three Lives Lest and Many People Injured—How the Accident Oc- curred—The Day’s Record of Casualties. OLUMBUS, O., 2 Jan. 25.—An alarm of fire from High and Main streets last evening, at about 6 o’clock, called out the Fire Department, and the fire, which was not a large one, was soon’ under control, The day being a pleasant one, there were & large number of shoppers on the street, and, as it was reported that a natural gas explosion haa occurred, they rushed to the scene of the fire. The blaze occurred in an alley, which was soon packed with a mass of men, women and children, all anxious to see the fire. Suddenly there wasa blinding flash and a deafening roar, a huge sheet of flame burst from the building at the corner of Noble and Wall alleys, and a mass ot brick, stone and timber, which shortiv before had composed the bullding, was shot into the air in a mi- ion fragments. The people fied from the scene of the accident with shrieks of terror. Some remained pinned to the earth by the fallen debris, while others staggered this way and that, blinded and dazed by the force of the explosion and wounded by the falling mass. CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION. The explosion, as near as can be ascer- tained, resulted from an accumulation of natural gas in the cellar of the house occupied by Michael Bowers and Mr. Marrott, No natural gas pipes were ever put into the house, but the cause was a natural gas main in Noble alley, which leaked. The ground was frozen, and the gas, seeking its way out, went by the easiest way, and, of course en- tered the cellar. It has no scent, «nd its presence could not be detected. It saturated the buildings. The force of the explosion in the Marrott and Bowers house took a westerly and northerly direction, and scattered bricks aud lumber and lathing fora distance of 20 feet. The side of the Marrott house was blown out and the roof, freed of its support, fell over and layin an almost entire condition, hanging from the top of the house tothe yard below. The exploded vapor after doing its terrible work on the south side of Nobie alley, leaped over to the north side of the alley, and completely destroyed the house at 34 West Noble, occupied by Edward Otstot and Mr. James. NAMES OF THE VICTIMS. Six people were first reported dead: Charles Recht, John Seymour, a colored boy; Mrs. P. Merotte, an unknown man andan unknown babe. The infant child of Charles Berry was dashed from its mother’s arms by the force of the explosion, and almost immediately was run over and killed by a Fire Department team which was running from the Duilding. Among the wounded are: Dr. T. K. Wissin- er, Wm. Brady, Wm. Nell, Wm. James, Mrs. m. James, — Blankinger, Theo. Shoting, Officer Lynsky, C. Lycklighter, Wm. Riley, Bell Smith, Elmer Gates, Mrs. Corn, Ed Keemer, Elmer Geach, Charles Lowery, Mr. Westlander, Petty Marnott, Thomas Doyle, Flora Bowers, Emma Bowers, aged l4, badly burned, but not fatal; Aaron Boen, Ben Mor- gan, Shawnee; Marsball Kilbourne, two men named Berry and Wolf and Peter Marrott. . A LATER ACCOUNT. 1 p. m.—The natural gas explosion last night, is still a source of great excitement among the citizens. The fatalities, however, were exaggerated, and three killed is the sum total of deaths. The most seriously in- jured all seem improving this morning. The list of those who were siightly wounded and bruised increases and the startling feature isthat more were not killed. The natural gas company is doing all it can for the injured, and is-making an effort to place allthe living in comfortable eircumstances. The company made an inveatigation this morning as to the cause of the explosion. There are about seventy-five miles of the line, only a portion of the high-pressure circuit in the city was being used, and yesterday the company turned on the gas over nearly the entire high-pressure circuit line. Near where the explosion occurred a test was made east and west on tbe line, and where the final connection of the circuit was made there was one joint of the pipe left without being run with lead. The joint was virtually wide open but nothing else on the line wrong. The frozen surface and loose gravel beneath allowed the gas to permeate the ground with as much ease as it could ran through the loose earthofthetrench. The cellars in the vicinity were thus filled with gas and only waited for the match or candle. The company states that the fault is that of the inspéctor and men who made the final connection. This was done about January 1. The name of the colored lad who was killed is found to be Jones. Decht, the barber, and Mrs. Marrotte are the only other dead. Caught at a Crossing, By Telegraph to the POsT-DISPATCH. of SLATER, Mo., Jan. 25.—Yesterday as A. A. Homes of this city was driving a wagon and team across the C. & A. track, just west of the yards, an east-bound passenger train struck the span of horses as they were upon the track. The wagon was smashed into splinters and the team was killed outright. Homes was knocked down a steep embankment, re- celving a serious cut on the head and internal injuries which it is thought will result fatally. Four Men Terribly. Burned. PITTSBURG, Pa., Jan. 25.—At Dehaven Sta- tion, Pa., on the Pittsburg & Western Rall - road, a natural gas well with a pressure of 500 pounds, ignited yesterday, while four drillers were plugging it. The four men wore terribly burned, but all but one, George Moore, will recover. The well is still burning, and it is probable that it will be necessary to smother the fire with a great smoke-stack, as was suc- eessiuliy done at the great Murraysville gas well fire a few years ago. Passenger Train Derailed, SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 2%.—A passenger train which left here at 7 o’clock last evening for Knight’s Landing was derailed: between Davisville and Swingles. The accident was caused by a washout. The track-walker re- ports that Engineer C. J. Cox and the fireman were nearly killed. It is not known whether any one else was injured or not. A wrecking train has been sent. The Toledo Clairvoyants. ing of Mme. De Vere, the ciairvoyant, and Jo- seph Lamb, charged with utterlng forged notes, occupied the police court all day yes- terday.

CHICAGO, II., Jan. 2%.—Among the last opinions handed down by the Supreme Court is one jn which Judge Tuthill’s order, requir- ing John T. Lester to submit hie firm books of account to the lawyer for Samuel Berkowitz for inspection, and Judge Lester’s fine of $200 against Mr. Lester for not obeying the order are reversed. The point decided by the Su- preme Court is a most important one and of interest not only to stock and grain brokers but all Institutions, the contents and correct- — of whose books may be brought in ques- on. Berkowitz sued Lester & Co. for money alleged to have been lost through the firm by investment in stocks. The case involves a large sum of money and is still pending, the events incidental to it having retarded its progress. T. J. Sutherland is Berkowitz’ law- yer. John S. Cook, who is broker Lester’s lawyer, charges that Sutherland dealt through Lester & Co. himself and owes the firm a large sum for margins. Out of these transactions, it is said, bad feeling grew between Lester and Sutherland, and the latter has been pursuing the operator for years in the courts, notably through Berkowitz and one Boyd. On the lzth of July, 1887, Sutherland pro- cured from Judge Tuthili an order on Lester & Co, to deposit his books of account with the court clerk of the Circuit Court in order that Sutherland might inspect them, take notes from them and otherwise profit by their con- tents, ogtensibly in behalf of his client, Berk- owitz. John S. Cook and John N. Jewett, who appeared for Lester, vigorously opposed the granting of such an order. They showed that the books were not desired tq be used on the trial of the suit Decause the trial had not been reached, but thut they were wanted by Berko- witz’s lawyer to prepare his case. As he could not appeal from Judge Tuthill’s ruling otherwise beforethe case was finally ended, Lester allowed himselfto be fined $200 for contempt in not producing the books. He then tookan appeal, which for the time pre- vented him from going to jail. The Supreme Court decides a point which was raised in the case at the time, viz.: thatan appealand not a writ of error was the proper course to per- sue, and then goes onto the main question, whether a court can order the production of books for Inspection except on the trial of a case. The opinion says a defendant is not required to disclose matters of evidence relied upon in the defense and thus inform the plaintiffof his case fur- ther than the pleadingsshow. Matters purely of defense are the property rights of the de- fendant, which he may disclose or not, upon thetrial. Unlessa showing is made that the evidence sought or that the books and papers contaln evidence pertinent to the issue, the application should be denied. I'laintiff in this case failed fairly to show thatthe books were required for evidence in the case. The appll- cation was for the production of the books for the instruction of plaintiff and his counsel, and for preparing the plaintiff's case. RAILROAD NEWS. The Bonds of the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo Co. New YorK, Jan. 25.—The prints this: The question about the disposition of the $8,000,000 bonds of the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo Railroad appears to have been reopened by James J. Belden of Syra- cuse, who has served a complaint in the name of the company against Stevenson Burke, Drexel, Morgan & Co., Winslow, Lanier & Co. and the otber usual defendants. The question was settied by the decision of a board of arbitrators consisting of James OC. Carter, F. W. Kittredge and Lawrence Max- well, Jr., which was rendered in September, 1888. It was agreed between the company and the defendants that this decision should be final, but shortly after it was announced, the company threatened that the discussion of the matter should not be allowed to rest. In the meanwhile the management of the company has been changed, but the com- plaluant in this inbtanceis nota member of the old or the new Board of Directors. Mr. Belden’s interest inthe property is under- stood to be $50,000 of the bonds which he bought about five years after their issue. The award oftbe arbitrator after full and public examination was that ‘‘the plaintiff’s right to any relief fromthe defendants or either of them, that this suit be dismissed upon the merits at plaintiff’s cost and that the plaintiff be forever barred from hereafter prosecuting any other action against the defendants or either of them, for any ofthe same causes of action.’’ Atthe offices of Winslow, Lanier & Co. and Drexel, Morgan & Co. it was said yesterday that the new suit was not worth talking about. Mr. Morgan of the last-named firm, after laughing atthe matter, declared that any one who charged Drexel, Morgan & Co. with con- spiracy would have to prove his assertions. eadded: ‘‘I don’t think the public will de- lieve any such thing, and perhaps the news- papers which are responsible for the charge may find that they have got themselves into trouble. Tribune to-day The Vanderbilt Lines. BUFFALO, N. T., Jan. 25.—A meeting of pas- senger representatives of the Vanderbilt lines was held here yesterday to consider matters relating toa Pacific Coast agency established at San Francisco two years ago and to fill the vacancy at the agency caused by the resig- nation of Wm. 8.

George Wismath, a bartender at the Stand- ard Theater, tells a story which apparently does not reflect much credit upon a watch | club company in this city doing business on West Olive street,Wismuth claims that several weeks ago one ofthe members of the com- pany called atthe Standard Theater saloon, and explained to him their plan of supplying the public with watches. The plan was for a person to ay $1 per week, and when be had paid in $1U he would be furnished with a gold-filled watch. He wasto continue paying the $1 per week until he had given the company $40 when a bill of sale was promised, Wismuth agreed totake a watch under that agreement and paid a deposit. On Christmas eve he desired the watch, but be had so far paid only $7. Taking $3 with him he went to the company’s office, tend- ered them tne money and asked forthe watch. He says they then asked him if he had any security, but he said no, and asserts that they said to him previously They refu to 8 the watch until he furnished the requisite security, as he was under age, but be sald he was unabie to fur- nish it, and asked for the return of his . his was also refused him, and he took the case to Justice Kane’s court. It came up yesterday, and judgment was rendered for the plaintiff. Constable Dolan went out to the company’s place of business and levied on the safe and its contents.

Mrs. Holt and her husband separated last May and the divorce was plied for in October. After separating with husband Mrs. Holt contracted a board bill of $35 with Mrs. M. A. Burns, with whom she stopped for some time. Mrs, Burns called at Justice 8 - ding’s office and stated her case and was sent to serve the necessary papers on Holt at the Hotel Hoeffper, and while was told that Holt owed the hotel a board of $110.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The completion, this afternoon, of Nellie Bly’s wonderful journey around the world will add one of the brightest pages to the imperishable record of the “achievements of woman. Without guide or escort; speaking no language but her mother tongue; with none of the paraphernalia which renders circumnavigation of the earth * tour de luxe; with but a single gown and an outfit which the ordinary woman would consider inadequate for a one day's visit to Newark, this frail, slender, plucky young woman has traveled oper twenty-three thousand miles, has touched at every continent, has obtained flying giimpses of every phase of the world’s civili- zation; has demonstrated the perfection and simplicity of modern methods of travel, and has established a record which within her Own lifetime would have been regarded as chimericalasa journey to the mountains of the moon. Miss Bly left Chicago at 10:41 yesterday fore- hoon on the Pennsylvania limited. The story of her ride is told elsewhere by herself. Crowds greeted her at every station, and the interest of the public in her success was ap- parent both in large cities and in the smail- est hamlet. Ihe traln rolled into the Union Station at Pittsburg at 3:05 this morning. A company of more than a hundred news- paper men were in walting and gave Miss Bly a most enthusiastic greeting. She whirled away from the Smoky City at 3:20, with but 444 miles remaining to be traversed. If no time is lost she will be in the depot at Jersey City at 3:52 this afternoon. Arrangements have been made by which her arrival will be announced to the people of New York and Brooklyn by the firing ofa salute of ten guns on Battery Park andasimilarsaiute at the same instant in Fort Greene Park, Brooklyn. ‘Three com- petent gentiemen will standon the platform holding stop-watches, and the exact moment that both her feet touch the platform will be recorded.

More than three hundred people were there, and she was taken from the platform of the car and carried on the shoulders oftwo men. She received dozens of congratulatory messages, and during the entire time of her stay atthe station sne was busy shaking hands and answering questions. Pittsburg is very proud of Nellie Bly. They say she is the greatest little woman in the world. All last night there were crowd: atthe sta- tions on the road. Atthis point there was a big demonstration, with cheer after cheer for the WORLD’S globe girdler. Passing through the Harcisburg Railroad yards the men came out ot the shops and waved their hats and cheered. Nellie Bly is well. She looks better than when she left New York seventy-two days ago. The sea winds and mountain air bave tanned her face a little, but her cheeks are plump and she is in the Dest of spirits at nearing the end of her long journey. She accepts the popular tribute modestly, and has made a hundred thousand friends between here and Sau Fran- cisco.

Her Reception at Chicago. By Telegraph tothe Post-DIsPatcr. CHICAGO, III., Jan. 25.—Nellie Bly, the plucky aud energetic globe-circier of the New York WORLD, arrived in Chicago at 8:05 yes- terday morning. Upon her arrival Miss Bly and Mr. Jennings were driven tothe Prebs Club rooms, where they were met by a reception committee. She won her way into the heart of each one of the Journalists who had the good luck to rise early enough to meet her. **I didn’t hear of McGinty till 1 got to Albu- guerque,’’ said Nellie, as she sat inthe big arm chalr under Mr. Starr’s picture in the Press Club. There I got 2 dispatch from New York signed ‘McGinty’ and I wondered who McGinty was as I had no acquaintance of thatname. They rather bad the laugh on me, but I’ve christened the monkey I bought in Singapore by the name ofthe poor man who had so much trouble. The monkey was the only curio I bought. He was too much for me and 1 couldn't resist the temptation. Thie silver brooch was given me by a gentleman ip Canton. The Chinese charagters on it means, vou have all the happiness you wish I started out from New York with two for. now I have almost es wagon load of * ‘ grips and presents. HOW tHE LOOKED. Miss Bly wore a soft tweed traveling fore and aft cap and a dark blue enug fitting dress, with large check in it of seal brewn and gray. Mer outer wrap was a Newmarket of the most glishly English check, with horn buttons us as a dollar. She is aright nice little woman, although she says she isa newspaper ony and must be treated like the fest of the There is one thing to be said about the ation which once had the carrying trade of he world, as the books say, and that is that ail the time froin Southampton to C 3 250 paw the American flag once—not once . Mise Bly. It did megeod to get a look at the red, white and blue then. How much time have you to spare in order to complete your trip in the required time?’’ she was asked. ‘*Well, they ficured it out at the WORLD office that from the time I star until Jao- vary 27 would be seventy-five days, but I count it is only seventy-four days, so that really I have until January 28 to get back to New York City. I shall write a five-column story of my trip the 9 I get back.’’ ‘*Your sea voyage, did it make you sick?’’ ust one day, and that was in I féel now as if I were an old sailor. I did get sunburned dreadfully. Look at my nose; it’s like a tomato.“ A MAY CHERRY NOSE. But it wasn’t. It was more like one of those early May cherries that have just the blush of crimson«nthem. She had a regular tennis player’s color. It looked odd to see a sunburned person the middie of the winter. **IToould talk halfaday about my adventures and then not tell vou all,“ continued Miss Bly, dut I guess the most exciting part of my trip has deen the ride across the States from San Francisco. We averaged at times over sixty miles an hour, and even the mountains were climbed at the rate of forty-five miles an hour. Oh, it seemed as good to get on Amer- ican soll once more ard see the people of my own nationality. Iwas ready to cry for joy when we sighted San Francisco. My watch played me the same trick as did Phineas Fogg’s,’’ laughed Miss Bly, and when I arrive in New York it will be about twenty-four hours behind time, and I will be a day ahead of my actual run, you see. Like Mr. Fogg, I was racing against time, At the Rocky Mountains it was twenty-two hours be- uind what is called Rocky Mountain time, and here, or by central time, itis twenty-three hours behind. When I arrive in New York I will have gained twenty-four hours or a whole ay. Mias Bly left for New York on the 10:30 train over the Pennsylvania road, after enjoying a good breakfast with her entertainers. NEW PASSENGER RATES. *‘I was sick New York barbor.

PLAYS A SHARP TRICK ON THE CITY- How It Feoled the Legislators and De- feated the Plan to Regulate Prices—Has City Register Wherry Put the City in a Hole?—Mayor Noonan Finding Fault and the Assembly All Adrift. Only this week one gas measure, providing for the Inspection of meters, was declared il- legal® and as the Assembly could not get along without at least three ordinances with gas in them Mr. Clark ot the House of Dele- gates introduced a newone. This new bill is for the purpose of repealing the ordinance granted to the St. Louis Gas-Light Co. in 1886. It reads as follows: AN ORDINANCE. Whereas, Ordinance 18,494, An ordinance prescribing the terms and conditions on which the St. Louis Gas-Light Co. and the suc- cessors andassigns of said company shall be permitted to layand maintain pipes and ap- pliances in the streets, alleys and public places of this city for the sale and distribution of gas for heating and illuminating purposes for the term ending January 1, A. D. 1920, approved January 380, 1886, among other things, provides as follows: See. 11. Any failure, refusal or neglect on the part of said company or its successors and assigns to observe this ordinance and any of its terms or conditions, shall work a forfeit- ure of alithe rights and privileges granted herein, and such forfeiture shall be declared by ordinance, and upon said last mentioned ordinance going into force and effect, all rights, privileges and franchises herein granted to said company or its successors and assigns, shall be at once thereby terminated and forever ended,’’ and, : Whereae, Tne Laclede Gas-Light Co., suo cessor to the said St. Louis Gas-Light Co., has repeatedly and continuously since Sanuary 18, 1890, violated the provisions of said orgi- nance; and, Whereas, The power being fully vested in the Municipal Assembly to repeal said ordi- nance, as provided in sec. II of said ordi- nance, therefore forthe purpose of repealing the same, Be it ordained by the Municipal Assembly of the city of St. Louis as follows: : Sec. 1. Ordinance 13,494, entitled An or- dinance prescribing the terms and conditions on which the St. Louis Gas-Light Co. and the successors and assigns of said company shall be permitted to lay and maintain pipes and appliances in the streets, alleys and pub- lic places of the city for the sale and distribu- tion of gas for heating and illuminating pur- poses for the term ending January 1, A. D. 1920, approved January 30, 1636, is hereby re- pwaled. Inthe last whereas“ of the preamble it says that since January 1, 1890, the ordinance has been continuously violated by the La- clede Co., and Mr. Clark, who introduced the bill was asked, ‘‘Whatare these violations?’ He said that it was not to be givenaway just yet, but there was plenty of proof which would be brought forward at the proper time. The situation, however, burst upon THE SOMEWHAT STARTLED OFFICIALS to-day about ll o’clock, when Mayor Noonan found how the situation stands and bow the last attempt to get the gas company under control for once was for the time being de- feated. The bill introduced last night to re- peal the St. Louis franchise would if passed do away with that provision in it which fixes the price at $1.25 after January 1, 1890, and leaves it so until January 1, 1920. With this agreement out of the way the bill fixing the price of gas at 90 cents per 1,000 cubic feet could be put into operation. The whole pian was given a severe blow by the discovery thatthe franchise of the St. uls Gas- -Llaht Co. had been practically re- in- dorsed by the city through the action of City Register Wherry, who had permitted the La- clede Co. to accept the franchise, ordinance and all other conditions in due form and bad notified Acting Mayor Walbridge of his action. This act on the part of the City Register can certainly be construed as an admission onthe part of the city thatthe St. Louis franchise is all right and that the Laclede Co. is entitled to the privilege of operating under it, so that the city is more firmly bound than before to the terms of the ordinance. The repealing ordinance says that the La- clede Co. has violated the provisions of this ordinance since the time of its acceptance, but that will be hard to prove. If the city can- not repeal that franchise the other ordinance, which bas given so much trouble, and which is intended to regulate prices is practically use- less, as it is in direct confilct with the terms of a previous ordinance doubly indorsed by the city. The POST-DISPATCH at the time of the ac- ceptance of the ordinance by the Laclede people hinted at another scheme, but matters were allowed to go on. The way in whivh THE TRICK WAS TURNED iseminentiy characteristic of the gas com- pany’s methoda. The legal proceedings of accepting the franchise and ordinances were gone through with first in the Register’s off e, and then, to givethe city fair warning andto clinch matters, they notified Acting Mayor Walbridge that the ordinances, fran- chises, conditions and agreements had all been accepted, and that if there was any formality which had been neglected or overlooked they would be glad to attend tothem as their intention was to bind themselves inévery way possible. Mr. Wal- bridge told Mr. Thompson, the Secretary of the Laclede Co., who just by chance dropped intosee if everything was all right, that be did not consider himself the legal adviser of the Laclede Gas Co., and if anything had been overlooked it wasthe duty of the company to find tout. Here the matter was dropped, Register Wherry’s note stating that the fran- chise had been accepted was filed away along with President McMillin’s letter to the Mayor. To-day MAYOR NOONAN found out how matters stood. He told a PosT- DISPATCH reporter the status of affairs as fol- lows: I have just notified Mr. Wherry, the City Register, that hereafter he wil! be wise to consult with the Chief Execut ve befor: tak- ing as important a step as he did in letting the Laclede company accept the St. Louis fran- chise, without consulting anybody before band. The city was tied down to a most odious agreement once be- fore by the thoughtless action of one of the emploves, and we should guard against its happening again. Sol have just, as a precautionary measure, notified Mr. Wherry to go slow on such matters in the future. I know, hadI been here when this matter came up, I would not have allowed matters to go through as they did, but would have lookod into things a little, but that can- not be helped now, so there is no use talking about it. he situation is now simply this: Ifthe city has allowed the Laclede Uo. to ac- cept the St. Louis Oo, franchise, which it bought along with the rest of the roperty of the company, the city has defeated its own measure fixing the price of gas at 90 cents. I am very sorry that things have turned out as they have, but I still believe thatI can arrange matters so that the city will not be entirely at the meroy ot the gas people. The turn matters have taken will certainly be something ofasurprise tothe members of the Assembly who practically passed the 90- cent ordinance last with the belief that to come to an the courts sooner or later and matters might as pe be hastened and the whole business set- tied. As to the city’s rights in that direction the legislators are np mage at sea, as was shown in the disoussion in the Council last night, when it was argued on one side that the City Counsellor h said the city did have the right and it was argued on the other side that the City Counsellor sald the city did not have the right. Mr. Nelson said that it was not a rare thing to find two lawyers differing on the same subject, but in this instance it was found that one lawyer had two conflicting Opinions on one subject, Tbis remark caused much laughter. he City Counsellor was asked about it this morn- ing and said thathe had no opinions at all gave that Mr. Nelson was a crank. Itis very probably now, however, that the Oity Coun- sellor will be needed to urge the city’s side of the question in the courts,as the gas company has expressed its determination fight the bill to the bitter end. By the early part of next week the situation may resolve itself into something like defi- nite shape, but there is much work ahead for the city.

Several days ago ‘‘Gip’’ severed his connec tion with the office of Deputy Constable, but has made the office his stamping ground as of yore. Yesterday morning a man named Frank Smith, an employe of the Brush Elec- tric Light Co., called at Justice Kane’s office amd said he wanted to have a watch replevined from ‘‘Gip’’ Bray. He said Bray had purchased one gold watch of him, agreeing to pay $2.50 for it and had paid a deposit of $1 as exurnest money, being giyen the watch. ‘‘Gip™ nad failed in bis payments and Smith desired to have tue watch returned, dut the holder re- fused to give itup. The papers were made outand Smith went away. Pretty soon Bray sauntered in and Deputy Constable Coughian asked him what time it was. He proudly produced the watch and receiving praiseworthy comments as to its workmanship, unhesitutingly handed it around for inspection. Coughian slipped it into his pocket and produced awrit ot re- plevin which he read to the astonished „ Glp. ““ ‘*You’re fooling, I guess, said Bray. „% Haud back the watch.’’ „No; that’s all straight, **See, here are the papers.“ Let's see em, said Bray, and they were banded over to bim. He seized them,and they were soon scat tered on the floor in fragments. The watch was retained, however, and Bray is disconso- late over his loss. replied Coughlan. SHORTHAND and type-writing.

EAST Sr. LOUIS AND BELLEVILLE, Sad Death of a Child Due to a Landlord’s Cruelty—Circait Court Jurors, Coroner Woods investigated a sad death case this morning at the Martell House. The victim was au infant but one month old, a ehild of a young woman who said she was Mrs. Mary Defoe of Saline County, III. She arrived in East St. Louls on the Cairo Short Line train early this morning, bearing the dead body of her child, which had died on the way to this city. dne was accompanied by H. J. Cole, whosaid bewas her father. He claimed to be a cattle dealer, and said he came to East St. Louis to transact some business at the National Stock Yards. He left Stonefort, in Saline 8 yesterday, with his daugh- terand ber child, he believing both to be strong enough to stand the trip. They had ridden eleven wiles through the country in a wagon to reach Stonefort, and this made both motber and child sick. They reached Pinckneyville esterday evening and went to a hotel to walt orthe Short Line train, but Cole says the landlord turned them out of the house and re- fused them shelterat any price. He says he offered to pay the landlord any sum he might ask for the use of a room until medical aid forthe cbild could be procured, but his offer was rejected. They were forced to sit five hours in a waiting room at the depot, in whith they said there was no fire, until their train reached Pinck- neyville. They boarded it and arrived in East St. Louis as before stated, but the child was dead before they got here. They related their sorrowful story at the Relay Depot to Officer Ryan, who directed them to the Martell House. The officer notified Coroner Woods, who with a jury inguired into the cause of the child’s deatb and found it to have been exposure. The body of the infant was buried this after- noon at St. Peter's Cemetery.

Irwin Frankel Files Another Suit for Divorce To-Dry. Terrible Charges Made Against His Young and Suffering Wife. Be Steals a March on Her and She Is Served With the Petition While Fighting for the Possession of Her Babe — He Alleges She Threw the Baby at Him—Puilea His Hair—Sat by His Bed With a Knife in Her Hand Trying to Nerve Herselt Upto Killing Him—Danc- ing in Men's Clothes—A Queer Bet— Grave Charges Against Her Chastity— Heaping Accusation on a Mother—Other Court News. HE Frankel case was up before the court again to-day and continued until Monday. An ad- ditional and interesting feature was addedto the case as Mrs. Frankel was leaving the Court- house, when she was served with the copy of a petition for divorce filed by her husband, Irwin Frankel. He stole a march on her, as it was her intention to sue for divorce as soon asthe court awarded herthe custody of her child. She will filea croés bill and answer goon, and it is said the allegations will be as startling as those in Mr. Frankel’s petition. This morning all the principals in the case and their attorneys were in court and Judge Withrow called them to trial. Mr. Paxson, Mrs. Frankel’s attorney, said he was not ready. Mrs. Traub, he said, his most important wit- ness, whose testimony would tend to prove that Mr. Frankel was nota proper person to have the care and custody ofa child, and that the mother was, had been taken suddenly sick this morning and could not appear. The ex- citement and worry bad undermined her health and compelled her to remain quiet, but he thought she would be recovered sufficiently to appear in court next week. Judge Withrow said he bad to-day and Mon- day to try the case, and could only hear it on eitherday. He suggested that the trial pro- ceed, and that Mrs. Traub be heard Monday. Mr. Harvey objected to this, and gave for an excuse that he had several cases in the Criminal Court to defend on that day, and could not be in both places at one time. In truth he did not want to let the case go to trial to-day and then have Mrs. Traub put on the stand Mon- day, in rebutjal as it were, to WEAKEN THE CASE he might make if the testimony was heard to- day. Judge Withrow said he could let his cases in the Criminal Court go Monday and attend to this case. He agreed to be on hand or have Mr. Walter McEntire defend the case for him. Last Tuesday Mr. Harvey filed an answer to Mrs. Frankel’s petition, in which he denied all allexations made in the petition and among the allegations made were that Mrs. Frankel was married September ll, 1888, and that Mr. Frankel forcibly stole the childfrom her. Mr. Paxson filed a reply this morning calling the Court’s attention to these inaccuracies and denying all the facts contained in — 1 — Court was then adjourned until 10 o’clock Monday morning, when the case will no doubt be heard and decided. Mrs. Frankel left the court-room with Mr. Paxson and several lady friends and as she passed through the hall a Deputy sheriff ac- costed her. ‘*Are you Mrs. Anna Frankel?’’ he asked. „Jam, ' she replied. „„ wish to serve a copy of a petition for divorce filed by your husband a tew moments ago, sald the Sheriff as he handed her the aper. 1180 he has filed another suit, nas he? Oh, dear, and she tilted up her nose in derision with asmile. She handed the petitionto Mr. Paxson and they left the building followed by 4 CROWD OF FRIENDS. Mr. Frankeland his brother took another route and disappeared. The petition covers five pages of type writ- ten matter and every other line contains a charge against Mrs. Frankel’s character. He says he was lawtully married to defendant September 11, 1888, and continued to live with her until March 23, charging all the duties and loving husband and treating her with tenderness and affection. He begins by say- ing she was of a most slothful and indolent disposition, refused to perform the most simple and necessary household duties and was always petulant, cross and irritabie, con- stantly seeking pretexts for complaints against him and was always dissatisfied with everybody and everything around her. Sbe was possessed of a fierce and irascible temper ‘‘which the slightest provocation would stir into a perfect whirlwind of the wildest passion and most furious rage, during which she would quarrel, curséandfight ina violent and reckless manner regardless of consequences.’’ In less than a month after marriage, he continues, she flew into a vio- lent passion and, while applying to him the vilest epithets, threw a glass at him, barely missing bis head, and it dasbed into a thousand pieces against the wall. Afterthis introductory display of temper he says her passions asserted them- selves quite frequently, and every time she became angry she would attempt to strike or beat him with china, glassware, chairs knives and tron pokers. When he woul! grasp ber, he claims, and trv topacify her she would scratch his face and pull his ha:r uptil & blood flowed freely. She often did not love him he woula leave yer. She frequently threatened to take his life, and he relates several occasions when he woke up in the night and found her kneeling or sitting by his side on the bed with A RAZOR IN HER HAND, gazing intently into his face. On one of these occasions, he claims, she told him she had been sitting beside him some time contem- plating murdering him while he slept, and that she would do so yet when she could nerve herself up to it. In March, 1889, after the child was born and only six months after their marriage,he alleges that she cursed and assaulted him with lumps of coal, a coal shovel, an iron poker, achair, a piece of the eh ina chamber set, and then with a large pair of scissors, insisting that she would kill him. He claims that he succeeded In vetting hold of her but she scratched him so fiercely he was obiiged to let go. On being released, she rushed to the cradie where the baby was cry- ing and picking it up threw it bodily at him. but he caught it in hie arms and thus saved It from harin. He says she often swooned and fainted away in the presence of otbers to attract sympathy, and pretend to be in deep distress. Being unable to longer endure such treatment, he left her. The child, born of the marriage, he says, is now in her custody, but she is not taking the proper care of it and is giving it unhealthy nourishment. He also says she does not keep the baby clean and leaves it for long periods of time with strangers. Continuing further he more directly attacks the chastity of his wife and Says that while boardin at 1121 Washington avenue, May 10, 1889, alter bein separated from him, she went luto a boarder’s room and, removing her,own ap- arel, put on a complete suit of men’s cloth- ng. hen going into the presen eof several men she bet she would have the bardihood to o into a saloon with one of them and take a rink.

Mr. Alfred Whitaker of Cleveland, O., the President and Manager of the Brooks Oll Co., passed through the city yesterday on his way home from the West. Mr. Whitaker was in Columbus during the contest In the Ohio Legislature over the United States senator ship, having gone there in the interest o one side of the Democratic party to work against Calvin §. Brice. Mr. Whitaker is not an enthusiastic man, but a deliberate, conservative worker in pol- itics, yet he speaks with much warmth on the subject of Brice’s election. He was not working for Mr. Thomas, His choice was Jobn McMahon of Dayton, but seeing no chance for him he devoted his energies to defeating Brice until he found it was impos- sible, then he gave up trying and left. At the Planters’ House, yesterday, he said concerning the manner in which the election was conducted: There is one thing I would like to speak about. The papers, and lately many of the Demooratic papers, bave compared the eleo- tion of Brice tothat of Payne. Of the man- ner of Payne’s election I have nothing to say, but between the two men as candidates for the honors of their party there is a strong contrast. Payne was a prominent figure in politics before the present generation of Democrats was born. He was a member of the historic convention heid at Charleston, and was among the Northern Democrats who seceded and held aconvention in Baltimore, He was always active, bothin State and na- tional politics, was often a candidate for State offices, had been amember of Corgress, and was at one time thought a presidential possi- bility, receiving the vote of the Ohio delega- — in the convention which nominated Han- coc Nov, what has Calvin S. Brice done? When he was made a delegate to the St. Louis con- vention which renominated Cleveland he was not known by two-thirds of the members of the convention. He had never beena candi- date for any office, bad nevereven run fora county office, had never been a member of the Legislature, had never taken any active part for a term of years in the political campaigns of the State, had never pronounced bimself before the people on any public question, and when people asked who be was all that his friends could say was that he was the man who put through the Nickel-Piate road and beat Vanderbilt. The great opposition there was in the Democratic party to Mr. Brice was not on account of his wealth nor so much on account of his residence, but because he had not served the party that term of years or inthe capacity which should entitie him to the highest honors within the gift of the Demo- cratic party of Ohio. Mr. Brice was not a veteran returning from the weil-fought po- litical battles of his party against the hosts of Republicanism that he should have placed upon his head the senatorial honors of Ohio. If he bad been that and worth a billion, I certainly never would have opposed him. But he was unknown in Ohio State politics, and he should not have bad the party’s choicest honors. The Senatorship should have been given to John McMahon, who represented the Governor in the Bavcock trial, who has done the party service in the State, and who deserved recognition. But McMahon was there without money and I soon hal that it was useless for us to hope for m Where did Brice’s strength lie?“ „Money was used; there is no doubt of that. The press and his triends are calling for spe- cific charges. Those things are done in such a way as to make specific charges impossible, but there is no denying its use. — — REAL ESTATE. West End Properties Attracting Speculators -News of the Day. Itis interesting to note how property in what is sonsidered ‘‘dead localities’’ will en hance in value as soon as it commences t change ownership. An illustration of thy, was given yesterday in the gale of property at Easton and Marcus aventes for $57,000, for which the grantor only paid $35,000 less than a month since. This property had been on the market a long time, but no one appeared to appreciate its true value until some one bought it: then there were a numberof buy ers willing to take it at an advance of $5,000 to $20,000. A Washington a between Taylor ana nue sale of ground, Newstend, at $60 a foot is another illustration of the point in view. On the lith of last month Messrs. Nelson & Mersman bought 740 feet front in that locality at$50a foot, and the prcperty was hawked around a good deal at that price before a buy- er was found for it, notwithstanding the fact that other owners in that vicinity would not consider an offer of less than 570 a foot for their ground. Now there are severe parties negotiating for the purchase of this ground at $60 a foot, and yesterday Messrs. Nelson & Mersman sold 100x150 feet of it on the north side of the avenue at that price to Mr. J. 0. Kupferle. Several costly residences are to be commenced in that locality shortly. The street is to be fully improved in the sprin There bas been an active demand for Be- mar avenue property during the past few days and several piéces between Goodfellow and Hamilton have been sold at profit to the grantors. Mr. Jos. McGinnis has a large frontage to the east of this for which he says he has refused a recent offer of $30 a foot. To the west of it D. R. Haynes & Bros. ry sy rey an extensive interest, their Nee pt oot be- ing $18 and peshing less. Mr. C. C Nicholls, though, has found a ready sale for several hundred feet at lower figures, and one piece of 100 feet, situated about 200 feet east of Hamilton was taken at $18 a foot by T. B. Milis. $30, OOO IMPROVEMENT. Mr. M. E. Aan who recently purchased a piece of ground fronting 230 feet on incy place, located between Montgomery and Ben- ton streets, Glasgow and Garris. n avenues, is going to improve the site with ten modern de- tached brick and stone-front dwellings of six.roomseach. Plans for the Improvement, which it is estimated will cost at least $30, are being perfected by Architect Wm. Gaines. Contracts for two of the houses have been let and the — of building is to be commenced next w MISCELLANEOUS Terry & Scott sold a 50x170 foot lot on the north mee © of Shaw avenue, 8 = Highwa Walter 560x140 fe : Bx aul PO. prude 3 o¥ a)! 9 - 2 es oh. * 1 N * 0 Z * * - 4 . 4 „ a ale ge a Prod asa gt se Aa Re ie 1 4, 5 * 2 iat.

A great rush had been expected, as the farm- ers have been hold- ing back their crop and the estimates are that from 60 to % per cent of the crop is still in the hands of the producers. This must be disposed of by March 1, or at the latest by March 15, as the farmers want money for their spring planting and to meet theinterest on mortgages, which very gen- erally run until April. For these reasons it bed been expected that an immense jnflux of corn would characterize the last part of January. Such has not been the case, as the receipts have been very small, and two or three speculators have been embarrassed in qonsequenge. Three reasons have been given for the disappointment, the low price of corn, the impediments offered dy nterrupted railroad traffic and the closing ofthe river. The fact that so much corn bas been held back has exercised a depressing in- fluence upon the price, and the owners who have been holding for an advance have been disappointed. The fact that not a few heavy losses were ascribed to the famine of freight cars, which prevented the delivery of grain bought in the country within the time specified, has also had a decided tendency to make buyers timid, and the consequence is that prices have been ‘kept down. The recent bad weather has prevented a great dead of grain from being shipped that was ready for and the news that the was likely to be olosed has had the same effect. Within the next two weeks, however, it is re- garded as certain that an immense amount of rorn will have to be sent to market. H. O. rlaarstick reported this morning that if the present mild weather continued the barges could leave this city within a few days. Telegrams from the Northwest are to the effect that the weather is moderating, and the ice that is now coming down is not solid, but much honeycombed, Unless a cold snap oc- gure, the river will be again open within a ‘week. At 1:30 this afternoon the Floor Committee of the Merchants’ Exchange assembled in the directors’ room on the call of President John W. Kauffman. The abject of the meeting was ostensibly to discuss the rules to de en- forced, but really to discuss an elab- orate lunch ... tendered the members of the committee by Mr. Kauffman. All the delicacies of the season were represented on the bill of fare, and a most enjuyable after- noon was passed. All members of the com- mittee were presented with badges by the President, and the genial host was the reciv- lent of hign encomiums on aceouut ot the grace with which he presided at the feast. The Butterworth pill in relation to option trading, which has been referred to a com- mittee of the House of Representatives, was the subject of a great deal of discussion on Change this morning. Theprovisionsof the bill are very strict, but one provision alone is sald to be sufficient to render all the rest re- dundant as far as grain dealers are concerned; and that is a tax of 20 cents a bushel imposed upon all option trades. D. P. Grier said: ‘*‘The whole thing is ridiculous, but if it should pass the farmers would be the great- est asnffierers. Butterworth ouyvht to have rovided that it should be unlawful for the armersto send more grain to the market than there was an immediate demand for. If more is sent ard we cannot sell it for future delivery, no one would buy it unless offered at about half price. A bill better calculated toruin the farmers could with difficulty be drawn up.

We do not boom our city on paper and then get the State Board of Equalization tocut down our assessment one-half by proving the valuation false to that extent. Tun Republican petition asking the House to declare BLAND’s seat vacant on the ground that his majority came from Callaway County, which is separated from the rest of the district by a navigable river, and is therefore not ‘‘contiguous territory,” is a fine specimen of partisan ability to evolve from its own inner con- sciousness solid reasons for urseating and disfranchising political opponents. Buta few weeks ago, Judge BrREwER of the United States Circuit Court decided that the middle of the main current or chan- nel of the Missouri was the line separating the tax jurisdiction of Missouri counties from that of Kansas counties. According to this decision, Missouri counties on op- posite sides of that river meet in the mid- dle of it and are therefore “contiguous,’’ the same as counties on opposite sides of the Osage or the Gasconade. — — . — — Mr. BLAINE’S Samoan treaty surrenders to Germany all that Mr. Bayarp refused concede, and secures nothing which Mr. BayaRD contended for except an agree- ment that the three powers shall respect and protect the independence of Samoa. But even this agreement is turned into a hollow mockery by provisions which make our Governmenta party to the im- position ofan alien Goyernment on the Samoans by England and Germany. While MaLigetToa is nominally reinstated as King, all real power and author- ity are put in the hands of an alien Chief Justice to be chosen by the three signatory powers, or by the King of Sweden if they cannot agree. Theland court scheme to secure to Germans all the land worth owning, and sven the system of internal and im- port taxes imposed on the Samoans by this treaty, are precisely what was pro- posed by the German-English protocols and rejected by Mr. BayarpD in the Wash- ington conference in 1887. Nor only Senatorships but small offices are now sold by party organizations or their campaign fund managers. A con- ference of Republican County Committees of Indiana with Candidate HARRISON in chairmen to raise funds by selling local Post-offices to the highest bidders. The scheme seems to have worked very smoothly in most cases, but after the Post-office at Mitchell was sold to a man named Woop for $250 the same com- mittee raised $300 more on it by sell- ing the same office for that sum toa man named Hospss. As both purchasers held receipts for the money and bills of sale of the goods, a hvely row ensued which has kept the Democratic incumbent in possession tillnow. Butat last the dis- pute has been compromised and Presi- dent HARRISON has given the office to Woop, the first purchaser, on assurance from the County Committee that Woop had paid HoBBS' $300 back to him. This method of raising the price of post-offices might have doubled the Indiana cam- paign fund if the other committees with offices for sale had been sharp enough to work it. *... — ——— 111. Gathering Them In. The card of the well-known commission firm of Funsten & Co., on our commercial page, isanother indication of what is meant by ournew departure in reporting the mar- kets of St. Louis. It means that these re- ports reach not less than two thousand customers of this house, all of them pro- ducers, shippers and business men, who deal with St. Louis, but who have hitherto known the St. Louls markets only through the unsatisfactory medium of a Price Current. Hereafter they will de inter- ested in St. Louis news as well as St. Louis markets, will look to St. Louw for reading as well as for business, will know St. Louis better, will vote for St. Louls for the World's Fair and in every way de friends of the city and helpers of its prosperity. * An Enterprising Firm. The well-known commission firm of Funsten & Moore, whose quarter of a page advertize- ment appears in to-day’s issue, is one of the most enterprising in St. Louis inthe line of wool, dried fguits, furs, hides, grass seeds and all kinds of country produce. Though young men they have been engaged in busi- ness in St. Louis now for ten years, and by their push, enterprise and business sénse have reached the enviable position which they now oocupy in the commercial world. Their reliability is generally known, and their busi- ness is constantly on the increase. A good illustration of their prosperity is given by their liberality in advertizing. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM, Water Wanted. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Will you please lend your tow-line to the as- sistance ofthe people living west of Prairie avenue and south of Natural Bridge road, for the purpose of procuring water and some pro- tection from fire?. Although they have ap- pealed time and again to the city authorities, they have simply met with a deaf ear or been told that there is no money to spend on such things. We would like to know what the taxes are for. Our worthy Comptroller never has money for such things, which area neces- sity, but always has plenty fora lot of chair- warmers at the city crib.

Detailed Account of the Origin of the Re- ligious Feud Which Resulted in the Bar- barous Wesecration of the Plymouth Burying Ground—King Martin Wilkes’ Story—The Matter to Be Taken to the Courts, . By Telegraph to the Posr-Disra ron. LYMOUTH, Pa., Jan. 0%. —The Polish wolf still snaris and shows his teeth to-night but he is afraid to Bite. Al- though he knows that a 100 frantic followers are ready at his com- man@ to climb the nill and tear out every Lithu. anian coffin from the cemetery he claims as his, or, arming with guns and pistols that are stored in a score of places in the town, to go forth in battle with his enemies, he is afraid to move or say the word untii he shall have turned aside the public attention that the rapine of the grave of the Kudrik! twins concentrated upon him. He knows that people have talked of tar and feathers tor bim and ot lynching, while the fact that he stands to-night in bail aggregating $6,000 charged withalong series of crime, begin- ning with violating sepuicher, resisting offi- cers and feloniously shooting, and ending with riot and inciting to murder, has taken some of the soreness out of the fangs of Mr. Martin Wilkes, so-called King of the Polanders of Plymouth. Meanwhile, the little ravished double grave upon the billside still stands open, a biot upon the fair fame of Luzerne County whose courts say the bodies shall not receive se- pulcher till the lawyers have palavered and the judges declared whether or not Lithuan- lans may be buried in this ground. THB CITY OF THE DEAD. The cemetery stands on a fair hill overlook- ing Plymouth and the valley of the Susque- hanna. It isa large, open field, witbout trees, surrounded by afence. It is not so well pop- ulated as the graveyard of the Euglish-speak- ing Catholics adjoining, for it has been newly opened, but already numerous mounds of earth and stone proclaim the resting places of poor slaves of coal. A black cross is in the center. Near by is another cross, surrounded by seven mounds and one ragged hole, at the bottom of which—though some kind hand, not | Polish, has shoveled back a portion of the 1888 procured authority for the county | earth—can be seen a bit of the box of the dead 6-year-olds. The cemetery was open to-day, the locks having been wrenched off and taken away. Ithought the guard withdrawn, but a 'low-browed ruffian armed with a gun soon / came English, but regarded me with a suspicious running up. He could not speak scowl. However, as I looked not like a Lith- uanian and offered no harm, he did not inter- tere and lcame away. But, go where I would in Plymouth, among high or low, the poor or well-to-do, there was but one expression, an execration for the ghouls who could desecrate a grave. Nay there was one exception. It was the King, and the King can do no harm, Martin Wilkes, „We only did what was right, said he, hy, these Greeks, these Lithuanlans—they are no Roman Catholicse—their priest left a wife and family behind in Russia—have been coming from Kingston and Wilkesbarre and Nanticoke and stili farther away to vet free burial for nothing in our grave yard. They had no right there and we will not let them come. We will have the law on them.’’ ‘*Worse than that, perhaps, | suggested, ‘if they come witb clubs and guns—’’ We meet them with clubs and guns, said the grave digger. They say, he added, **that we take the bodies out and put those of pigs in their places. It may be pigs’ bodies are there—i don’t know—but, if so, the Greeks put them there, not us. We kuow not what is in them.“ There was a baleful suggestion in his words. Iremwembered the 5 Polish guard by the campfire and shud ed. What would not these gnomés be capable of doing? KING WILKES’ PALACE. The palace of the ‘‘King’’ is not an impos- ing structure. It is a wooden two-story honse. The audience chamber looks likea bar-room of the cheaper sort, with afew pressed glass decanters behind the bar and a few cheap pictures between them. A babel of voices, as of te ye monkeys chattering, greeted my earsas I entered this ternoon. A dozen men were seated In the room engaged in violent conversation in the sharp stacatto of the Polish tongue. They had glasses of beer before them on arude table. Near by two women, more comely than the men, but by no means handsome, were whispering with heads laid together. All hands bad en eyes and high cheek and narrow, hollow forebeads bare physiognomies not unremindfal of North American Indians. There was nota smile in all the crowd, though the women their heads bound in wraps of knitted stuff, had a touch of coquettish alertness about the eves. Haifa dozen children, the little Princes and Princesses, played and quarreled upon the floor and at times were slapped into tem- porary quietude by the least uncomely woman, who was their mother. His Majesty was behind the bar drawing beer. Not a drop did he spill, but he filled the giasses as full as they would hold. He was the only neat-looking man in the place and was shaven clean as a bishop, save for his long mustache. His hair was neatly brushed. He wore a new siate colored shirt. He had a broad face and a short form. His eyes were sunken slightly and were full of cunning. At first he regarded my questioning with suspicion, but he gradually warmed up to his work and when I began to take notes upon his specious lies he grew ioquacious while all the others gathered round and prompted him to plie on the agony. THE POLE’S STORY. It's all about those fellows pretending to be Roman Catholics when they are only Greeks. Weare the Romans, said Wilkes, with theairof being the noblest Roman of them all. A few years ago this Pole was pro- fessing a gealous Lutheranism up in Wilkeés- barre. ‘*We raised the money to build a church. There was $9,000and 1 was treasurer and accounted for every penny, and these Greeks or Slavonies or Lithuanians,as they call themselves, wanted to get tie benefit of it, though they contributed nothing.’’ And be went on and told a rambling tale, in which he alone took an ornamental part. Every priest in Plymouth he blackguarded with foulest tongue. One was a thief; another had abandoned a wife and children in Europe, and a third had seven women to hie discredit, while good Father Donohue of the English speaking church, according to Wilkes, had butone desire—money. ‘‘He would burya dog in the consecrated ground of his ceme- tery for $10!’’ cried this Polish wolf, while his followers applauded the sentiment. In short, the only true blue, whole-souled Catholic in the town, according to his tale, was King Martin W iikes, The ravishing of the graves has turned all sympathy away from the Poles. Even Mr. Swartz, the man who sells him the liquor and who etrove to-day to set his case in a favor- able light, admitted thig. ‘‘But Wilkes,’’ said his friend Swarts, ‘‘is a dreadfully cun- ning fellow. He takes legal advice in every- Ibeheve ex-District Attorney Lenahan, bis counsel, advised him regarding the opening of the grave. He goestothe ex- treme limit of tne law, but there he stops. By common copsent and the lawyers’ com- mand active hostilities have been suspended till a when the Injunction case will be argued in Wilkesbarre.

A careless representative of a morning pub- lication attended the Firemen’s ball and, after listening to the eloquence of Judge John D. Finney, wrote a report of the speech and credited it to Judge J. C. Normile. Probably in the ranks of the Knights of St. Patrick two more genial gentlemen or more graceful orators are not to be found, and each has his admirers, hosts of them. grown up in respective followers in the school of oratory, and whenever one of them graces an event with the flow of melodious music his silver tongue gives forth his own desciples hasten to congratulate him, while his opponent’s friends do not hesitate to express opinions that are not flattering to the natural vanity of public speakers. Thus it happens that when the — blunder was made and it was thought Judge Finpney’s speecn bad been delivered by Judge Normile, Judge Normile’s friends began to congratulate him and the formal courtesy of a compliment — is always exchanged by them was not acking. Judge Finney sent Judge Normile the fol- lowing, written on a postal card: My DgarR NORMILE—Your speech at the Firemen’s ball last night, as reported this 8 is the greatest effort of ** lite up to tuls date. Yours, etc. J. B. FINNEY. There was a grim smile on Judge Normile’s face when he read it, but it changed tu a look of annoyance when he noticeda number of other postais in the same mail, and on the same subject. Here is one from William R. Walker, an ardent admirer of Judge Normile, who was earnest in bis compliment: Judge J. C. Normile: I was attracted this morning by the report of your eloquent speech at the Firemen’s ball, which speech I read with great interest. The remarks made by you expressed so fully my sentiments, which I could not put into such appropriate language, that I hasten to congratulate you on the felicitous manner in which you expressed yourself on the occasion. Yours truly, WILLIAM R. WALKER. And then came this one: JUDGE—Permit me to congratulate you on the speech at the Firemen’s ball. The quota- tion was superbly appropriate and the lan- guage 3 grand beyond question. I cannot say that 1 was surprised. I expected’ that or ‘‘something > ae as good. But I was amazingly pleased. Yours, etc., THOMAS MORRIS. Judge Normile was very much worried by this time, and when he read the next eard he about made up his mind to take some steps to ut an end to the annoyance. It read as fol- ows: Hon. JUDGE—Having ommited to congrat- ulate you last evening regarding your noble remarks concerning our great Fire Depart- ment, lam now pleased to hereby do so. It wasagood one and favorabie to all your noted friends. Yours, O. T. BOLES. As usual, Judge Finne v's friends failed not to express their derision of the effort credited to Judge Normile, and here is one message, also received on a postal card: DEaR JODGE—If I only could have succeeded in fastening your Firemen’s ball oration (?) on Maj. Harlow, Schuarte would now be Post- master of St. Louis. Yours, R. C. KERENS. The judge laughed right heartily over that, and it le said that he threatened to show the card to Judue Finney some day. It came in the same mall with this one: DEAR JUDGE—That oratorical flasco at the Firemen’s ball ie a source of sorrow to your friends and exultation to your enemies. I never saw a better illustration of the ‘‘Mel- ancholy Madness of Poetry Without Its In- spiration.’’ JOSEPH. BOYCE. This morning Judge Normile received this one: DkAR JUDGE—I regret to Inform you that your effort at the Firemen’s ball woefully fails to sustain your previous literary reputa- tion. In the language of Sheridan, Tour bombast would s less intolerable if the thoughts were even suited to the expression, but the homeliness of the sentiment stares through the fantastic encumbrance of its fine language likea clown in one of his new uni- forms. R. P. TANSEY. a at the same time came this scorching epistie: DEAR JupDGE—Your whining jeremiad at the Fireman’s bail conclusively establishes the fact that you are not the man for Galway. You must certainly have got hold of the wrong bottle. Hereafter fors wear thin po- tations and addict yourself to Sack. Yours, etc., CHARLES GREEN. Judge Normile has preserved the postale and intended to wait until all had arrived that would probably come, then on some public occasion to read them, butafriend to whom they were intrusted to ascertain the authen- ticity of the signatures, in the discharge of his duty and enjoyment of the situation, makes public the letters.

Ex-President Cleveland’s Letter to the Clothing Cutters’ Cenvention. CHICAGO, III., Jan, 25.—The Clothing Cut- ters’ National Convention, at the closing ses- sion last evening, had a letter from ex-Presi- dent Grover Cleveland. He refers to the ad- dress of President G. H. Hun toon, made to the conveution, and then says: „The question of tariff reform greatly af- fects all the people of the land la a substantial way, and they ought to be interested in its discussion. I am afraid that a great many of our fellow-citizens are too apt to regard this as a political question, intricate and com- plex, affecting them in a remote way, and one which may wellenough be left for politicians to wrangle over. This induces a neglect of the subjecton the part of a great number of our people, and a willingness to blindly follow the party to which they happen to belong in their action upon it. Itisa good sign to see practical men, such as belong to your 860 ciation, discussing the question for them- selves. If this is done intelligently and with sincere intent to secure the truth, tariff re- formers, I think, have no need to fear the re- sult of such discussion.’’ The letter was in reply to one sent to Mr, Cleveland asking an expression on the tariff.

THE FUTURE OF CANADA. A GROWING SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF ANNEXATION. Separation From Great Britain the Lead- ing Tople of Discussion—Will It Lead to Political Unien With the United States— A Significant Incident — The Troubles of Minister Foster and His Wife—Not a Social Beycott. By Telegraph to the POst-DIsparTcn. OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 25. HE rootof the Mail- Empire annexation is thé loyalty resolu- tions trouble. The Mail newspaper was originaily the per- sonal organ of Sir John MacDonald. French-Canadian Conservatives throughout the Prov- ince of Quebec op- posed its attacks on theif race and religion, and to clear himself of all responsibility in the matter Sir John repudiated the journal, and the Empire was started with more money than brains as its stock in trade. The Mail has since been a bitter opponent of Bir John. Mr. Farrar is the most brilliant newspaper man in Canada, and Sir John MacDonaid finds the Mail under his p no in- significant opponent. Some persons don’t hesitate to say that Farrar and Sir John Mac- donald understand each other very well, and that Farrar’s scheme is seconded by the as- tute and subtle Premier of the Dominion Gov- ernment, who puts the editor up to serve his own ends. But few believe this story. The attacks of the Empire on the Toronto Mail for alleged conspiracy to promote the movement in favor of political union with the United States have started folks talking about the advantages and disadvantages of annex- ation. The fact cannot be denied that there Is a growing sentimentin that direction, yet to say that the movement has assumed any for- midable shape would be premature. WILL FAVOR SEPARATION. A prominent member of Parliament, whose name the correspondent is not permitted to divulge for the present, at least, had the courage to say to- nightthathe is seriously inclined to take advantagé of Mullock’s motion of pledged loyaity to Victoria and the British flag, when the resolution comes up before Parilament and mode an amendment In favor of a separa- tion from the British Einpire and the estab. lishment of Canadian independence. That is what Canada is coming to and possibly to annexation, he said; but the United States woud not further the movement by refusing unrestricted reciprocity with the view to forcing Canada to enter the Union. As re- gards himself ersonally, he bad no fear of returning to- his constituents for re-election on A platform of Canadian independence. The value placed upon Canada’s loyaity by the people of Great Britain had been fully illustrated by the late John Bright when he stated in the British Parilament that Canada had received her price for her loyaity. Cobden had also said that Great Britain could never defend Canada, while Lord Palmerston and Gladstone had been equally outspoken with regard tothe disadvantage Great Britain would be some duy subject to if she retained her Canadian colony. Incidental to the question of separation from the British Empire, it may be said that for the first time in the history of the Domin- ion the Governor-General omitted to propose the health of the Queen at the last annual state dinner given to the members of the Cabinet. It was by this fact that Mullock was prompted to move his celebrated resolu- tion of loyaity, which is to be débated next week. Lord Stanley says that the omission of the toast was purely an oversight, and he expressed deep regret that it should have happened. MINISTER FOSTER AND HIS WIFE. The tide of public opinion, whicha few days ago was yg against Finance Min- ister Foster and Mrs. Foster, appears to have turned in their fevor. It willbe remembered that Mr. Foster wascensured for attending the Governor-General’s state dinner aiter Mrs. Foster’s name had been stricken off the list of ladies invited to attend Lady Stanley’s reception. An explanation of the efrcum.- stances under which he dined with Lord Stan- ley bas removed alicauseforreproach. Ac- cording tothe English precedent and Cana- dian custom the invitation to members of the cabinet and others invited to attend a state dinner at the Government-house is prac- tically an order or an imperative command, State etiquette unfortunately for Mr. Foster, bas ordained it, and had Mr. Foster absenged himself he would have been gullty of a great breach of court etiquette. It now remains to be seen what he will do with reward to accepting the formal official or state invitations to Government house. The ques- tion has been raised among many members of Parliament as to 2 of Lord Stanley in repudiating the validity of a judgment or de- eree of the United States courts, as he is alleged to have done in the case of Mrs. Foster, when the edicts of Canadian courts have always been fully recognized in the United States. The statement of Mr. Foster, to which raference will be made further on, conflicts somewhat with the opinion he holds as to the Governor-General’s actual rea- son for ignoring Mrs. Foster. All doubt as to how rs. Foster feels over her exclusion from the society of Rideau Hall, the official reaidence of the Governor-General isnow at an end. The statement made to-day by ber husband shows clearly that they were prepared for the action Lord and Lady Stan- ley took in the matter. Mr. Foster’s state- mentisthat in the first — 4 all the news- paper reports on the subject of his wife’s social boycott are both incorrect in detail and misleading. — TUE MINISTER'S EXPLANATION. It was to have been expected,’’ he said, **that Lady Stanley would not officially receive my wife as a guest at Rideau Hall. Lady stan- ley represents the Queen here socially in the same way that Lord Stanley represents Her Majesty in the official capacity and she is therefore in duty bound to follow up these well known and well understood rules of state etiquette that are in vogue in court in Engiand. One of these rules is that uo wo- man who has been divorced and has remarried shallbe received at court, wherefore Mrs. Foster was left off the listof invited guests. It was not, as has been inferred, that Lady Stanley did not think my wife was a pure woman, and because she was unfortunate in her relations with her first husband that is no reuson why she onght now to be socially per secuted. The stories about a social boycott are malicious and ustrue.’’ „How does Mrs. Foster feel about the stories?’’ „Well, she has not heard them all, but those that have come to her ears have caused her much annoyance, and I may Say also some merriment. But she is light-hearted, and is Inclined to regard them as idle gossip which will play itself out ‘before long. Her indisposition a few days age was not due in any way to these stories.’’ A ROBBEKS’ CAVE, Wagon Loads of Stolen Goods Found ia the Mountains of the Indian Territory.

C., Jan. . „ of i There was a large crowd of people, m g whom were very prominent, In attendance to- day at the opening of the trial of Mrs. Cora May Morris, the pretty young woman charged with chioroferming her husband August last. At 9:56 o’ clock Judge Murman walked into the court-room. A few seconds afterwards a fine phaeton, drawn by two black horses; drove up in front of the Court-house and Mrs. Morris alighted. She was accompanied by some of ber relatives, and at the Court-house door was joined by her attorneys, Messrs. Mebane & Scott and R. B. Glenna, who escorted her into the court. Mrs, Morris has almost completely recov- ered from the terrible shook of being arrested on so serious a charge and to-day looked as if she was enjoying good health. Sh took a seat by ber counsel and watched the court — 2 — with much Interest, but with per- ect composure. A special venire of 150 men had been summoned. Out of these twelve men were atiast found who had not expressed an opinion inthe case and were not otherwise objectionable. It was 1:40 p. m. when the jury was completed, and then the court took a recess for dinner. Promptly at 3 o’clock the trial was taken up. Martha Wililamson, the colored cook, was the first witness. She testified that on the morning of August 19, last, she went to Mr. Morris’ room. She found him lying on the bed with his hands folded across his breast as if dead. A hand- kerchief was spread over his face and an empty chloroform bottle was near tbe bed. She told Mrs. Morris that her husband was dead and Mrs, Morris told her to go on about ber business. : Charles Fetzer, the Readsville druggist, tes- tified that he received a note on Sunday night ofthe 18th, worded: Send two ounces of chioroform and charge to Mr. Morris. Mr, Fetzer sent chloroform as ey gmt G. M. Goode, who was the t white person to go into Mr. Morris’ room after his death, was putonthe witness stand. He testified that Mrs. Morris did not want him to enter, saying her busband was not dead but sleeping. These three witnesses were the only ones examined to-day. There seems tobe a prevailing sentiment thatthe prisoner will not be convicted. A prominent citizen to-day remarked that ‘*guilty or not gullty, no North Carolinian would ever conviet so pretty a woman as the defendant in this case. rs. Morris seems to hold up remarkably well, but realizes her serious position. The case will consume sev- eral days of next week and it is attracting widespread interest. 0 THE EVEBRHART MILLIONS. A Romantic Life Story Brought Out in the Settlement of the Estate. By Telegraph to the Fosr-Ditsraren. New Tonk, Jan. 25.—The death of the mill- jonaire broker, Henry 8. Everhart, last sum- mer, and the subsequent contest over his estate now going on lu the Surrogate’s Court, brings to light a romantic life story, which is admitted to be true by the legal gentiemen who have the case in hand. Away back in 1849 when thegold fever was in its height on the West Coast, the father and mother of Everhart lived in a little town in Pennsylvania. Besides Henry there seems to have been three other brothers in the Ever- hart nest, but no sisters. For six years the family clung together, whenthe tather was cow pelled to travel faraway from his home on business. During his absence his wife went to Chicago, where five years later she secured a divorce on the ground of desertion. Soon after she married a gentieman in that city and is now living with him there, an old and highly respected lady. -The father took his boys and went to Mis- souri, but shortly afterwards Henry came to this city, and though he had few opportun!- ties for advancewent, he succeeded so well in stocks and bonds that when he died his estate was valued at over $1,000,000. Although he had not heard from any of hisfamliytfor a quarter of a century, immediately after his death a brother, George PF. Everhart, ap- peared and presented what purported to be a willin his favor. As no one appeared to contest his claim the court named ulm and Daniel J. Loring ex- ecutors and George became possessed of a cool million, But not for long. His brother’s death had been published far and near and tue fatner saw it in the paper. He came to New York at once and made an immediate effort to get the property now in the bands of bis son. His counsel brought the matter in A — shape to the attention of Surrogate ansom. As a matter of fact, the son had no desire to fignt for the estate after the appearance of his father, whom he supposed dead, so the pres- ent contest is merely a friendly one. pon the showing as above, Surrogate Ransom two weeks ag signed an order requiring the son to return ali the property in bis possession to the court and givé an account of his adminis- tratorship. George, who now lives in Chi- cago, wus served there with the order, and will comply on Monday next. Upon the father assuming control he aud the mother and all the other living children will come in for their portions of the estate, share and share alike.

HaMILTON, III., Jan. 25.—This little town, situated on the banksof the Mississippi op- posite Keokuk, is undergoing a strange ex- citement, and here people are all absorbed in the one topic—namely, that ot a wonderful spiritual manifestation that yesterday came to Jules Raymond, a iocal spiritualist of some note. On January 16 Theodore Trautfelter, a well to do farmer residing near Warsaw, went to that place with a load of wheat, which be sold. Then Trautfeiter left his team in the street and disappeared. It was thought he had gone to Keokuk, but no traces could be found of him thereor anywhere else. His family offered a reward for information of him,believing him to have become insane. Wednesday afternoon Raymond was cnjoying an after dinner nap, when suddenly be was awakened by a great light in bis room, aud he was astounded to behold float ing about hima grape-vine covered with leaves and bunches of luscious grapes.

ENRY GEORGE oe Mrs. George arrived in 88. Louls from the East this morning and were driven to the Southern Hotel, where they breakfasted, and Mr. George received «4 number of friends. Among his callers were: President H. H. Hoffman, W. F. Little, Hamlin Russell, N. O. Nelson, George F. Du- rant, B. C. Keeler and Fred C. Crunden. Mr. George had been ridiag all night and was évidently somewhat fa- tigued. He chatted pleasantly with his yisitors and attended to such matters of business as demanded attention with that air peculiar to men who through politics or agitation are compelled to live their private lives in public. Mr. George has for several years had as little privacy as a presidential candidate. He has evidently become used to it. He is very like Congressman F. G. Niedringhaus, though the difference is unmis- tak.able. He is nearly as bald as Bill Nye, his eyes are light biue, his ears are large and beavily marked with single vertical lines. His beard is almost ted. Though his bios raphers say he was born im Philadelphia, a stranger would not be surprised to find in his speech hints of Scotch nativity. He looks Scotch. His dress is not more elegant now than it was ten years ago before fame struck him. HIS CHAT with bis callers was upon the work be is going to Australia to do. There is in his talk that directness and simplicity of language so noticeable in everything he writes. He is a charming monologist. „When I wes in England,’’ he said, ‘‘I met a number of E men from the colonies and made them a definite promise that I would go out there to help them. They wanted me to go then, but 1 could not, now that there is a chance of do! Iam going.

All the colonies are v far advalced, In New South Wales they have free trade, or rather a revenue tariff. The other colonies have revenue tariff, except Victoria, which has a protective tariff. In the last election in New South Wales the Protectionistsa made gains and Sir Henry Parke is in power by a majority of one. They have a responsible government like that ot Engiand. If Parliament does not sustain the Ministry the Ministers resign and there is likely to be an appeal to the country. So there may be an election very soon.

Sir Henry Parke bis committed the government to this — there will be a bill introduced te that e ect. . In New Zealand there are many ardent ad- vocates of the single tax and there will soon be a fight therefor it. The Maoris who used to have possession there were like our In- dians, incapable of undegstanding private ownership in land.

You did not pay him anything.’ These poor natives thought that every baby that came to them hada right to the land, and that one generation covid not dispose of tne Interests of a succeeding gen- eration.

D. Withers, the master of Brookdale, the owner of many race-horses and the master mind of Monmouth Park: Brookdale is a sealed book to the majority. Here Mr. Withers en- Joys the privacy of life for twodays each week the year round, just long enough to give him additional zest in the affairs of the world when he reappears in the city for the balance of the week. Handsome estate would be the better term for Brookdale, but its master pre- fers the solid old-fashioned word farm. It is 1,000 aeres in extent, with every appli- ance suitable for the breeding and training of thoroughbreds. Mr. Withers has the reputation of always having some work in hand to improve the estate. At present he is busily engaged erecting a number of villas as residences for some of his many help. Mr. Withers’ is a familiar face at Eatontown, Oceanport and Little Silver, and not a few are the stories told illustrating his regular and methodic habits. One is to the effect that at 2 0’clock every Sunday he is found on the race track, and has not varied ten minutes from that time in many years, excepting, of course, during his annual winter trip to New Orleans, which he makes in furtherance of his business interests. His regularity in the latter respect will be broken this season, however, as he cannot spare the time away from the work he is doing at Monmouth Park. The track at Monmouth Park, by the way, is ahead of time in the matter of progress made. The grand stand will be finished long before-the season at Monmouth opens, and the sidings for the railroad will be built. It is the dream of Mr. Withers’ life to attract 40,000 persons to Monmouth Park and to have them leave the race track for home without delay. Twenty trains will roll away from Monmouth within almost as many minutes. When this comes about the measure of Mr. Withers’ pride will be full. He will then have the greatest race track in the United States if not in the world, and the finest modern facilities for the transportation of great crowds. Cliftoa Races. CLIFTON, N.

Billy Murphy, Ike Weir’s conquerer, seconded his brother, Jimmy Murphy, when the latter was whipped recently at San Jose, Cal., by Harry Jones, formerly of Chicago. The champion feathner-weight’s antics were a source of great amusementto thecrowd. He Was nearly crazed by the thumping his pet brother was getting. Atonetime he started to rub his battered relative’s head with tne bottom ofa bucket, and at another he gave him alump of icetodrink. It was about all Costigan could do to keep Billy from taking a ewing at Jones. Everytime Jimmy failed to take advantage of an opening Billy took a crack at the nearest post. Billy talked all the time in the following manner: O I wish I was in there for just alf a round.“ **What’s the matter with Jimmy, h’anyhow! "E’s as slow as a ousemover!“ On, look at that chance for a’ot one! Why didn’t e it mon the bioomin’ h’eye?’’ etc., etc. After the fight was over Billy asked Jones if he would fight him after he got through with Weir. 'Les, if you win,’’ was tne answer. When the defeated member of the Murpny family recovered from the knock-out his affectionate brother informed him that he was too fond.of heer and could take his choice of going to work in a foundry or going back to Australia. Ils Cal McCarthy Sulking? Some queer rumors have come down in the last few days from Johnstown, N. Y., where Cal McCarthy and Chappie Moran are training for their championship matches. It has been ald that Cal McCarthy has got the big head, refused to do certain things that Jack McMas.- ters, his trainer, bas ordered that K should do, and that bard feelings prevail beeen Cal and Jack. It was even said that on one occa- sion McCarthy went up stairs with the inten- tion of packing bis valise, returning to New Yorg and throwing up hismatch with Dixon, the colored featherweight of Boston, but was prevailed upon by Moran and Doc“ John- © pon, at whose hotel they stop, to remain.

DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 25.—Last night Jimmie Mitchell of Philadelphia and Tom Monagan of Pittsburg foughttoa finish with three-ounce gloves before the Dallas Amateur Athletio As- sociation for —_— of $750, of which $150 went tothe loser. Mitchell weighed 132% pounds 2 Monagan 184, and the former bad the call n on the betting. The men opened viciously each other in the first round, and both were considerably punished. In the second there was more hard hitting, though the men were a little wary. Inthe third round Monagan reached Mitchell’s wind and the latter was dazed when the round closed. Mitchell came up in good condition forthe fourth round, and had decidedly the best of it, though his opponent was by no means exhausted. The fifth round was also in the 1 favor. Monagan fought viciously in the sixth round, felling Mitchell to the floor several times, but failing to knock bim out. In the seventh round Mitchell came up comparatively fresh, but Monagan knocked bim down five times in sucoession, the fifth blow knocking himout. Monagan was then awarded the fight. After Australian Murphy. The fea ther- weight fighters are now after Billy Murphy, the Australian, who defeated Ike Weir for the world’s championship. Jimmy Lynch, the undefeated 122 pound pugilist of New York, whose backers are try - ing to arrange for him to meet the Andpodean in the rooms of the California Athletic Club remarked: ‘‘I would ſike to fight this man i the club will offer a big enough purse, and I think my backers will bet a couple of thou- sand on the result. A prominent jockey told me that if the match was made between us he would bet $2,000 to $3,000 that I could do him. Ofcourse it is only natural that my friends should look for the short end of it.

League completed its labors late yesterday afternoon, but the schedule was not made public and will not be uatil the League meets in this city on March 11. The excuse made for holding back the schedule was that John M. Ward did not want to let the National League benefit from its weak points, althougt the delegates boasted that it wasthe best schedule ever framed. It was decided by the committee to give out the following information: The season will open Monday, April 21. and close Saturday, October4. Each club will play 140 games. Without regard to dates, the Eastern clubs will open with the East and the Western witn the West ou the day stated, and play until May 18. After the termination of that date the Western clubs will go East and play the clubs of that section from May 14 until the 8ist inclusive, giving the Eastern clubs Dec- oration Day. The season winds up with the Eastern ciubs playing inthe West from Sep- tember 19 to October 4. Amateur Cricketers Coming. LONDON, Jan. 25.—Capt.

McBride Falls Upon the Neck of His Boy and Weeps—The Sire and Son Were Inseparable Companiens— McBride’s Crime. HERE was an affecting scene in the Criminal Court-room this morn. ing. Judge Normile had ordered an arraign - ment of the jal) prison - ers indicted in the par- tial report returned by the C inal Grand-jury ves Sruay morning, and the seven menin cus- 4 tody were taken from 95 their cells. J 7 Paul James McBride, against whom a true bill for murder in the first decree was returned for the killing of Fireman Frank Loftus, was led in band-cuffed to Victor Julian, the dapper little fellow in- dicted for fraud. He was seated with the other prisoners in the jury chairs at the left of the Court. At soon as the bracelets were removed by a Deputy Sheriff, his father, Mr. J. J. McBride, sprang forward fr m his seat at the attorney’s table and threw his arms around the prisoner’s neck, KISSING HIM AFYFECTIONATELY. The scene was such as to affect every person in the court-room, and one and all they turned away to hide the tears of sympathy which could not be choked down. After several min- utes the father was led away by a deputy sheriff, while his son stepped forward to the Clerk’s rail and entered a plea of ‘‘not guilty,’’ when the terrible charge as made in the indictment was read. When asked whether ornot he had an attorney, young McBride answered that he would employ one. He then fell back, and the other prisoners in succession P ‘TOOK HIS PLACE. There were Charles Bradford, charged-with attempted incest; Ep Houston, rob- bery in the first degree; Victor Julian, frand; Clinton Moulton, bur- giary in the first degree and larceny; Frank Williams, same; Joseph Samuels, two charges of grand larceny and emvezziement. ln all of these actions pleas of not guiity were made. There is now some doubt as to who will make the active defense for McBride when his case comes up for trial inthe court. The prisoncr’s father, Mr. James J. McBride, has in his defense of mürder cases been one of the most successful criminal lawyers at the St. Louis bar. It is his claim that not one of his clients out ota totalof over thirty-three ever suffered the death penalty. He has all along since his son's incarceration insisted that he alone would make the defense. The trouble has broken him down both In body and in mind, and it is thought that be will be physically unable to go through withthe bitter struggle which will undoubtedly be made when the action is laid before a jury. The friends of Mr. McBride are even now reported to be busy arranging to secure the services of one of the best known criminal attorneys in the West to take the leading partin the trial. Mr. McBride says that unless he can persuade Judge Normile to release hisson on heavy bond he will bring the matter before a jury as soon as possible, feeling confident, as he does, of an acquittal on the ground of se!f-defense. M’BRIDE’S CRIME. Young McBride shot and killed ex-City Fire- man Frank Loftus on the evening of October 15, 1889, in front of a saloon on North Seventh street, across from the fire engine house near Olive street. McBride wasin there with his father, and both had been drinking some. 80 had Loftus. Young McBride had words with Loftus, whom he accused of stepping on his toe. The bar-keeper led ftus out to avoid trouble. McBride followed in a few minutes and it is said that without a word he shot the ex-fireman, who was standing afew doors away from the saloon. Loftus was taken to the City Hospital and died an bour later. McBride was arrested and ever since his father has been making a most bitter fight for him. The défense is that Loftus attempted to strike the boy. FATHER AND BON. The relations which have existed between the MeBrides, father and son, have been peculiar. Attorney James J. McBride is very affectionate to all his children and .was particularly fond of this son, whom he always refers to as my boy, Paul, or my little Pauly. The attorney has not for years treated Paul as a son, but more as a compan- ion. They have been together constantly. Paul has been at hisfather’s office and when the lawyer left there to go — place or transact any business he was generally with him. They visited saloons and drank together. When Air. McBride closed his office for the day, he and Pani generally drove off in his buggy to- gether and they remained together until they reached home forthe night, no matter what hour that would be. The son had no compan- ion whose society he seemed tb enjoy like that of his father and the father had no intimate like hie son. His very being seemed to be wrapped up in the boy ahd Paul's trouble has been a severe blow to him.

HELENA, Mont., Jan. 25.—Marshal Irvin, who has charge of the State Penitentiary at Deer Lodge, says that unless legislative ac- tion to provide an appropriation for the Pen- itentiary issoon taken the situation will be- come very serious. The Penitentiary, which was given by the National Government to the State, can now comfortably accommodate 144 convicts, the number now confined in the institution, and inrickety log structures on the grounds, These 144 convicts, comprising some ofthe most desperate characters in the West 14 by fourteen men. Ths con- yiots confined in log buildings are only par- tially guarded. Ordinary padlocks are used to close the doors, asthere is nothing more available. If a revolt should occur nine- tenths of these desperadoes would escape. But this isnot the worst of the situation, as the number of convicts is increasing rapidly. Marshal Irvin estimates that the number of convicts in the penitentiary will be increased to 250 before the winter is ended. There isnot a dollar available to provide adequate quar- ters. The Marshal has sufficient money to feed the convicts, but there is no money on hand for any other purpose. He is, in addition, deprived of the Federal Gov- ernment appropriation of $2,500. The only way by which proper and sale accommoda- tions for the convicts can be secured is through an appropriation by the Lexisiature. Marshal Irvin, Gov. Toole and the spéakers of the two Houses of Representatives had a con- ference yesterday on the subject. The serious- ness of the situation and the danger to which the citizens of Deer Lodge are exposed, wus dwelt upon, and the conferrees agreed to use their best endeavors to bring the two houses together on the basis that a committee of three from each party should select such bills for immediate enactinent as the necessi- ties of the situation required, the first to de one oppropriating money for the Peniten- tiary. insecurity of A Post- Office Cashier Suicides.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Jan. %.—About thirty persons interested in scarce playbills and other relics gathered at an auction-room on Arch street yesterday afternoon for the sale of some treasures collected by the late W. W. Long. As a rule the playbills, which were sold tirst, brought low prices, 5 and 10 cents each. One, however, of Edwin Forest as Coriolanus, Academy of Music, 1864, with a wood cut of Forrest, brought 35 cents, anda scarce bill of the Ameriean Aquatic Theater, United States flagship Cumberland, Febru- ary 20, 1861, was sold for25 cents.

Cooper at the Chestnut Street Theater in 1823, any house bills of the Chestnut and Walnut theaters for 1821-2-3_ in small lots were divided between Mr. Mann and the Historical Society at prices ranging from 10 to 20 cents, but Mr. Mann had to pay 60 cents fors benefit bill of Edmund Kean, as Lear, Walnut Street Theater, April 14, 1821, and 40 cents for Mr. Herbert’s benefit as Richard III., Chestnut street, Mareh 10, 1820. The latter has a wood cut of Herbert, a forgotten actor, and probably the only one in existence. The highest price realized by any ofthe early bills was $2.50 fora benefit of Joseph Jefferson, grandfather of our Joseph, in The Rivals, Chestnut street, March 24, 1819. Mr. Thomas Donaldson was a pur- chaser. Whilethe sale of these early Philadelphia bills was in progress, two curious bills, inter. poiated in the catalogue occasioned some spirited bidding. One of these was a play Dill of ‘*the Libby Prison Minstrels,’’ December 2, The performers were Union prisoners in Libby Prison and the bills were printed on the press of the Richmond Zzraminer. This sreci- men brought 323. The other was a bill of Ford’s Theater, Wasulngton, April 14, 1865, the night of President Lincoln’s assussina- tion. This particular bill was taken from Mr. Lincoln’s box afterthe murder. It was sold for $27. Its authenticity was certitied. After this diversion prices again fell, and a por- trait of Billy Wright, comedian, brought only 10 cents. A so-called engraving of Daddy Kice’’ Jim Crow, Bowery, N. I., 1883. brought $1.80, and a portrait of John R. Scott was sold for55 cents. A lithograph of Mr. and Mrs. F. B.

His Funds Are Garnisheed by a New York Firm of Elevator Builders. By Telegraph to the PostT-DiIsratTon. NEW Tonk, Jan. 2%.—A New York firm of elevator builders, have had a misuaderstand- ing with M. Gustav Eiffel and have garnisheed the money dueto the distinguished French- man by the Eiffel Tower Association of Paris, to liquidete a claim of $15,000 for elevators put into the famous tower. Previous to the construction of the Eitfel Tower the municipality of Paris agreed to give 1,500,000 frances to the association, with the understanding that all materials and machinery used in the construction of the tower were to be of French make. When it came to putting the five elevators used in the famous structure, however, M. Eiffel found that his countrymen could not construct two of them, which were required to ascend upon aninciined curve to a helzht of 420 feet. He then sought plans and drawings for the elevators from English and American manufacturers, and the Americans obtained the contract, One ofthe engineers of the company bas just returned from Paris, where he passed two years in filling the Eiffel tower contract. He explained the trouble with M. Kiffe! roe „Our chief en- gineer,’’ said he, drew the plans tor the Eiffel tower lifte, of which there are five. We contracted to putintwo which were to run from the ground to the second platform. The other two running from the first stage, were put in by the French firm, and the fifth elevator, running from the second to the third platform was put in by another French company at a cost of $100,000 aud car- ried an average of 4,000 passengers a day. Our elevator carried an average of 9,000 passengers aday. The five elevators cost $400,000 and cleared a net profit rigs the Exposition of 6,000,000 francs. The profitrealized daily by our machines alone, I have been informed, often reached 58,000 francs. The contract was made with M. Eiffel and it Is through him that our firm has attached all money due him in the hands of the Eiffel Tower Association to se- cure the balance of $15,000 due to us. As we understood the contract we were to furnish the material for the construction of our elevators and the services of our engineers who were to give such advice and make such suggestions as M. Kiffei might desire, but M. Eiffel was to build the elevators. Our bill amounted to $30,000. M. Eiffel refuses to settle the unpaid balance of $15,000 on the ground that the ma- terial was not delivered in time to enable him to have the elevators unning order at the opening of the tower We claim that it was, and ons re that all the material was on the ground forty-nine days before be touched .“ Displeased With His Partner’s Methods, By Telegraph to the Post-DISPaAToa. New YORK, Jan, 25.—Reports that could not be verified late last night were circulated that Lorenzo G. Woodhouse, the New York part- ner of Marshall, Field & Co. of Chicago, had retired from business relations with that house. Twenty-five years ago Mr. Woodhonse lett the employ of Geo. Bliss & Co. of this city to take a partnership in the firm of Field, Paimer & Leiter, which atonce took the lead in the dry yoods trade out of New York. Two years later ur. Potter Palmer withdrew from the firm to manage his hotel and real estate business in Chioago. In 1881 Mr. L. Z. Leiter retired with a bank account of several mill- ions. The Orm name since has been Marshal, Fieid & Co. lll-health is one cause assigned for the re- tirement of Mr. Wooehouse, who is credited with a fortune of about $4,000,000, but mem- bers of the trade inthis city say Mr. Wood- house has been very much dissatisfied with Mr. Field’s policy of cutting and slashing — during the pasttwo years. Mr. Field’s dea bas been that he could thus stop Western trade from coming to New York. This policy the New York partner ie said to have opposed.

HE reports from Washington are to the effect that the 8. Louis delegation is not opposed to the post- ponement of the World’s Fair until 1893. Letters were re- ceived at the local headquarters to-day from several of the capital contingent stating that there was a general feeling that it would be best for the interests of all con- 1 cerned to postpone the 0 Hm fair for a year. The | } reason for this is not any unteadiness on the part of St. Louis itself. On the contrary this city could bave its part done long before the required time, and is the only city of which this can be said. THE IMPRESSION. that has gone abroad in many quarters that St. Louis requires more time to erect the buildings necessary and make such arrange~ ments as the case may require than would be disposable were the fair to be heid In 1892, is said by the members of the general and 6xe- cutive committees to be entirely misleading. Asfar as this city is concerned, everything could be in complete readiness long before the required time. The site needs little or no preparation, the money is ready, and workMen could commence at once. The reason that a postponement of the fair is favored is notthe unreadiness of St. Louis but the fact that delay is earnestiy desired in other quarters. As itis intended to make the coming quadficentennial the grandest unl- versal exposition ever held the convenience of the prospective exhibitors has to be care- fully considered. In the first place the differ- ent States wish to be represented lu the best possible manner. THE STATE BUILDINGS will be one of the most interesting features of the fair, andthe States desire to be worthily represented. To insure this a legisiative ap- propriation is necessary, and a careful sur- vey of the ground. Plans must be drawn for buildings, space allotted to exhibitors and ar- rangements made for securing the best speci- mens of all articles to be exhibited. Could the States go to work at once on this, the time at their disposal would be none too long. But in many cases the Legislatures will not meet for a year or more, and until some legisiative action le taken nothing can be done. Were the fairto be held in the epring of 1892 the great majority of the States would have barely u year to make ready, while many would have but a tew months. When it is considered that no plans of bulldings, no allotment of space, and no arrangement as to the manner in which products shall be exhibited can be made untl the different Legislatures have made appropriations and appointed committees to manage the affairs of the State exhibits, it can be seen that the time at their disposal would be entirely inadequate to any proper display. THE CONGRESSMEN representing the different districts at first did not recognize this fact, but it has been called totheir attention by the States which they represent and strong pressure has been brought to bear to postpone the fairtosuch a date as will permit the different States to make broper exhibits. In the interest of the fair and not because this city could not easily haye it putin readiness, the representatives of St. Louis are willing to con- sentto delay. Another matter that must be considered is that in relation to foreign gov- ernments. Diplomatic communications are proverbially slow, and before the different nations can be officially invited to attend ana can take action on the matter, a great deal of the time intervening between the date at which the location conld be decided upon and the apring of 1892 would be consumed. This would prevent any proper display being made by foreign exhibitors, and would very seri- ously detract from the success of the fair. For these reasons the St. Louls delegation are willing to consent to a postponement, but the local committees do not wish it to be under- stood that the affairs under their control are in acondition to render it desirable. MUNICIPAL ASSEMBLY. Regular Meeting of the City Conncil aud House of Delegates. The Council met last night with all mem- bers present and President Walbridge in the chair.

It arises mystertously and appears to have its origin in the atmosphere. The last time it visited America was in 1803, ar4 it came then, as now, from Asia. The name in- fluenza,’ comes from the suggestion that the mal- ady was due tothe ‘influences’ of the heavenly bodies, but more modern science has discovered that it is due tothe changes in the electrical con- ditions. Whatever may be the cause, it is astrong congestion of the blood vessels and mucous mem- brane, principaliv inthe head and throat, and nothing but strong stimulants will check this con- gestion and keep the biood actively circulating. For this purpose I!knew of nothing better than pure whiskey, and I believe Duffy's Pure Malt to be the best and purest whiskey known to the world. ‘*Formerly this influenze was said to precede an epidemic of the plague, and the person who was about to be taken with the latter, had asa pre- liminary, a fit of sneezing. Now it precedes a worse epidemic than the plague, namely, the terrible pneumonia. Ite Beginning is slight but its endingis often terrible. Pains in the limbs back, chestand head; a sore throat and lack of appetite; copious discharge at the nose; these are some of the symptoms of this dread disease. Upon the slightest approach of any ef these oymptoms, a nervous feeling, or lassitude, resort should be had toapure whiskey, which is the only certain means of breaking up this epidemic before it secures a hold upon the system or check itwhen ithas become started. Care should be taken, however, to secure only that which is pure, as the article above named certainly is.“ DR.

18 IT A POLITICAL * FIGHT? THE CONTEST FOR THE LOCATION OF THE WORLD’S FAIR. a Two Lone commit teemen Comprise the St. Louis Contingent—The St. Joseph Post- Office—Kerens Pulling for Parker—A Tariff Bill Under Preparation by the House Ways and Means Committee— Washington News. By Telegranh to the Posr-Disraron. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2%.—The friends of Bt. Louis have come to the decided conclusion that New York don’t want „ world’s fair and that Chicago does, and that all is shaping into a regular political contest. ‘The action of the New York Assembly, it is alleged here, is con- trolled by Senator Hiscock and others, who of course are ambitious for the welfare of the party of which they are members. It is re- ported that Illinois will be a doubtful State at another general election. Also that the rail- road corporations are for Chicago and that she bas now a controlling influence. On the other. hand, the fine opportunities presented to trade in the House just now are being embraced and cut no slight figure in the premises against Chicago. As has been here- tofore stated, the chances fora fair at all are diminishing gradually. Gen. Clark and John J. O'Neill are the two lone committeemen now at work here in behalf of St. Louis, while Obicago hasafull company on the ground, each ona a strong and influential factor. Col. Sam Hays will make Chicago his head- quarters for a while, in connection with his duties with the Wabasb Railway Oo. There was another protracted struggle in the House Committee on the World’s Fair to- day, outofwhich the New York party came out victorious. The battle began as soon as the sub-committee reported to the full committee that it did not recommend either of the propositions referred to it, and asked permission to frame a bill providing fora Fair in 1892, and leaving the question of its site for future set- tlement. This was finally adopted after a lively discussion. Mr. Bowden was present for the first time. Mr. Springer assailed the report, charging thatthe committee was violating the spirit of the instructions by the House which meant a resolution providing for the selection ofa site. , He repeated what he had already said touching the dangers of delay. Taking up a New York newspaper be read from the ac- count of the proceedings of the Legislature of Albany yesterday the remarks of Mr. Sheehan to the effect that all of the money for te fair would be furnished by New York City; that the New York representat‘ves were waiting anxiously to hear from tne Leg- jsiature; that Messrs. Flower and Belden had telegraphed to act at once and that delay meant danger and the loss of the Fair to New York. Mr. Springer saidthat the committee was asked to sit here and do nothing until the New York Legisiature bad leisurely acted upon the proposition. When that was formulated, the New York representatives were to go into the House and assert that New Vork asked no financial aid from the Government, and thus use their $15,000,000 fund asa columbiad to blow up the other cities. He wassurprised to see the repre- sentatives of these other cities surrendering their prospects and acquiescing in that pro- gramme. ' Mr. Flower, in reply. said that Mr. Springer had been taunting the committee with delay, batit might pavto wait fifteen days if the Government saved a million dollars a day, as it would if the Legisiature acted favorably upon the bill. Continuing Mr. Flower said that Mr. Bowden had just come from a sick bed and Mr. Hatch, auotber member of the committee was still sick. it was not falr to the committee to ex- pect it to rush along with so Important a mat- ter until all the members were acquainted with the subject. The other mem- bers of the committee should at least have the opportunity Mr. Hitt had had, as a member of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, to study the subject before undertak- ing to report a plan to the House, and they shouldn't be deprived of that right — ere to the desires of one city ‘Chicago). It was proper and udent that the House should decide that here would bea Fair before an attempt was made to fix the site. Otherwise, after nam- ing a site, the maicontents m'ght succeed in defeating the main proposition, and there would be no fair. Mr. Hitt replied briefly urging prompt ac- tlon. Mr. Bowden thought that he had all the in- formation necessary for his guidance, and to the delight of the Chicago men he ranged on their side and moved as a substitute for the report of the subcommitte Springer resolution which provides for A baliot in the House next Monday. Again the chairman narrowly escaped committing bimself by voting. The vote to be taken would have resulted in a tie—3 to 8— ecessitating his casting the deciding vote, ut at this moment Mr. Selden (who had been absent) walked in and cast his vote axainst Mr. Bowden’s motion and the Chairman was relieved of the necessity for voting. Finding themselves in the majority, the New York men then pressed for action upon the sub-committee’s report, and it was adopted, Messrs. Hitt, Springer and Bowden voting against it. The committee then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, which will be issued when the sub-committee has framed its bill. Mr. Hitt has signified an intention to intro- duce in the House a resolution providing for the selection of a site by ballot and instruct- ing the committee, which he will ask to have increased to thirteen members, to report within three days. The Negro Convention. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—Delegates to She National Negro Convention, to assemble in the Metropolitan A. M. E. Cnurch here on February 3, are already arriving. Inthe call for the convention four delegates are allowed to each Congressional District with four at large toeach State and Territory and ten to the District of Columbia. It is said the con- vention will be thé largest and most thor- Oughly representative of its class ever held. The object of the convention, as given in the ecall, isto orgahize a national association of colored citizens, by which a united and con- tinuous effort shall be made to relieve them from the personal outrages infilcted upon them in the Southern States and to obtain the riguis of American citizens now denied them in parts of the country; to ascertain the oppos- ing influences that retard the growth of their educational, moral and material interests; to invoke Congress to pass such legislation as =~ will enable the colored people to exercise the right of franchise in the Southern States; to ass the Blalr educational bill, and to pass a Ill to pay the depositors of the Freedman’s ank. The debate in the Senate is adding in- terest tothe convention, and Senator Vest is being urged to answer Senator Ingalls. Dinner of the Gridiron Club. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—Great prepar- arations are being made by the Gridiron Club forthe celebration of its fifth anniversary ‘which will take place at the Arlington to- might.

Wy Telegraph to the PostDispatcu. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 25.—The St. Joseph Post-office is causing a great deal of feeling here. When the late James M. Burnes ran for Congress in that district he was opposed bye and Mr, Hart- * publican named Hartwig, who subsequent I y claimed the * to act as referee on all wig has indorsed and Sheperd for the place. ran for Congress 0 C. Wilson, at the last election, also passes as a referee in matters rtaining to appointmente in the district. He as indorsed Charles Ernest for the office, while James Beach is pulling for Judge Kelly. The contest isin this shape, with prospects for Ernest’s ultimate success. This would be a recognition of the Posegate faction over the Hartwig crowd.

O., Jan. 25.—The Ways and Means Committee has finally begun the pre- paration of a tariff bill working upon the lines of the Senate Bill of the last Congress. The lumber and wood sections of, that bill were adoptedentire, with the exception of the clause relating to rattan and chair canes, which has been attacked by a number of persons before the committee and has consequently been held up for future action. The schedule of the Senate bill favoring books and papers was also adopted. This action is preliminary and all of the schedules * will be subject to revision when the bill is completed. The Democratic members of the committee mani- fested their opposition to the proceedings by offering substitutes forthe aections adopted in the line of provisions of the Mills bill of the last Congress, but they were rejected by party votes. Democratic Caucus on House Rules. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 2%.—The Demo- cratic members of the House were in caucus for two hours last night on the sub- ject of the House rules,a new code of which is now being fixed up by the Committee on Rules. There are several features which are very objectionable to the majority side, and though there was a long discussion the caucus failed to ag¢complish anything. The contested election cases were also discussed, and it was stated thatthe Republicans would first call up one of the West Virginia casos. It was also stated thatthe Republican policy was to unseatasmany Democrats as possible and thus to secure sugh a voting majority as will give them a good working majority to adopt and enforce the rules. Kerens for Parker. By Telegraph to the POst-DIS?aTcu. WASHINGTON, D. O., Jan. 25,.—Col, R. O. Kerens reached here this morning. He comes to say aword in behaif of his friend, Judge Parker of Arkansas, who he wants promoted to the Eighth Circuit judgeship, Mr. Wm. P.

Kerensto heip him out. Collector of Customs at New Orleans. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 2%.—The Senate Committee on Commerce to-day bad under consideration the nomination of ex-Gov. Warmouth, to be Collector of Customs at New Orleans. Ex-District Attorney Leonard, ex- Representative Coleman were present and opposed the affirmation in short speeches; but as it was stated that Mr. Warmouth is now ili, the further consideration ofthe case was postponed till next week. _— run FIFTY.FIRST CONGRESS.

The Mining Exchange market for the two closing days of the week showed very active trading, encouraging the brokers to believe that it will remain so. During the two ses- sions of Friday 32,500 shares changed hands, including 5,500 Elizabeth, 4,500 of it on puts for four months. For the closing day, with only one session, the transactions were over 33,500, many of them being made so quietly that they could not be recorded conveniently. This is more than there has been for some time, and after coming out of a very dull period itis encouraging to those in daily trading to be- lieve that the market will be in good condli- tion, with the opening of the spring, to be- come more active than it bas ever been. It is now in sucha shape that it is influenced by anything to create a demand, and with sev- eral properties from which good news is ex- pected as soon as the snow goes off, the effect of this must almost certainly be realized. This was shown in American, which scored quite an advance on news that shows the mine to be just about what has been claimed for it. ae * The quotations on call to-day were ag fol- lows: ASK. || 1 324) | Little nt 1 S M.

YORK, Jan. 25.—Special telegrams to Brad- street’s’’ report an improved demand for staple goods, notably dry 28 groceries, boots and shoes, rubber goods and clothing at Chicago, St. Paul, St. Louis. colder weather. Snow blockades on the Central Pacific and other railways on the Pacific coast for ten days past, with centinuous rains in that region fora mont revious, have seriously checked general traffic there. There is only a fairly active crop movement inthe South, continued decreased snip- ments by planters being reported. Lumber at Western centers is slow. Prices of live hogs are reported higher at Kansas City onan increased demand, but lower at Omaha and St. Louis on increasing receipts. The volume ofgeneral trade for January at many points is not expected to equal that of January, 1889. At New York the volume of trade in farm products this month exceeds that in January, 1889, the move- ment of boots and shoes about equaling that ot a yearago, with trade in other lines reported less or unspécified. The movement of goods generally is fair. Collections are moderately satisfactory. In Wall street prices aré higher and more buoyant on a stimulation of general trade by colder weather and favorable railway earnings. The volume of trading there, however, is lixht and little heip can be looked for from London at present. Jay Gould ands. V. White have publicly announced them- selves bulls, and Missouri Pacific andLackawanna are higher. Reading. too, is up above the point where it last broke. on buying for control by the friends and opponents of Mr. Corbin. Northern Pacific Union Pactfic and Atchison are all stronger and higher. Money is easy and bonds are firmer and in betterdemand. The increased demand for silver is for India. The weekly report to ‘*Bradstreet’s’’ of available rain stocks in the United States and Canada east of the Kocky Mountains shows increases of 2.815.925 bu ef Indian corn, 25,065 pe of barley and 6,450 bu of rye; decreases of 1,316,456 bu of wheat and 284,447 bu of oats, as compared with December 28, three weeks ago.

Consumers have provided for urgent requirements and prefer to defer covering future engagements until they are assured that the apparent strength of the market is genuine, The rapid tncrease in productive capacity is not lost Sight of, and there are many authorities who claim that production is now on the eve of overtaking the demand. Jobbers are shading priées for nails and barbed wire. Restricted anthracite mio ing is follawed by the an- nouncement of lowest prices and largest stocks on record. Miners are out of work or on short time, but consumers pay full rail prices. The sugar market has been fairly supported, though ona smaller volume of transactions in re- fined and prices remain about steady. The week s advance in prices of coffee is about Vac, there having been an improved movement in private channels. In speculative lines trading tell away. Dr goods are disiributed more freely. New York and Boston cotton goods are strong and prices tend upward owing to reeent advances in the raw mate- ria!. Heavy wooleus and worsted for men’s wear are in better call trom agents. Colder weather has helped the demand for seasonable goods. . Raw wool moves more freely from New York and Philadelphia than Boston. Prices generally favor buyers, in which Americanand English wool mar- kets are in contrast. Raw cottonis 7-16c higher on a small crop move- ment and heavy demand. Business failures reported to ‘‘Bradstreet’s’’ num- ber in the nited States for the week. Canada has 59 this week, -against 36 last week. The total failures in the United States from January 1 to date is 1,342, against 1,312 in 1889. EbDbrron BRADSTRERT’s.”* Wall Street. NEw Tonk.

In French perts on December 1 the stock of flour and wheat was equa! to 5.457.000 bu, which was 927,000 bu smaller than one year earlier. New Orieane cleared yesterday 65.000 bu corn for Liverpool. and 178,000 bu for Rouen. Recent advices state that a considerable part of the barlev cropin Wisconsin is still in first hands, and that many farmers show no disposition to sell at current low prices. There are now fifty-four vessels in the port of San Francisco under engagement to take grain. These register 88,000 tons ana will‘ take 144,000 tons. This is the largest engaged fleet lu alongtime.

If exportersdo pot take another vessel they have tomnage enough to carry them to February 1. lt is interesting to note the range of — in En- land. Ihe 1889 average price of native in the Jnited Kingdom was 29s 0d. against 31s 10d in 1888. and 32s 6d in 1887. The 1880 price was the lowest ofrecent years. Another curious fact is the small range for the vear, only 38 3d, or 9%c Bbu. This is also the smallest rangein recent years. The aver- age of oats, also the lowest in years, was 48 4d, or 18e F bu. Odessa reports current receipts of only 75 to 85 car-loads of wheat per day and stocks wheat de- creasing a littie.

CHICAGO, Jau. 25.—Whenat was active, lower and very weak. The 23 passed 80 for May over night, indicating that the resting orders at that price had al been filled yesterday, and the early weakness showed not only that longs were prepared to sell freely but that so many shorts bad been filled that their purchases were no longer of importance. The market to-day has been ove of liquidation and we see no indication ot any good buying for long account. In the absence of any important news we see nothing to make higher prices on Monday, especially as the esti- mates of the visible supply point either to * stand-off or a ver) sinall decrease asagainst a decrease of about a million bushels for the same week ab ear ago. We believe that traders Will have as much difficulty getting the market over — Again as they have had in getting it below that price. (orn was firm, but dull and featureless. Provisions were lower, with some disposition on the part of local scalpersto shake out the*country holders who Lave bought on the late advance. 1 the market is lower than yesterday, it does not look to us very weak, and we doubt if the bears will be able to get pork much if any under $10 on this turn. W. G. McCormIcKé& Co, By Te'ercranh tothe POsStT-Dispatcu CHIC GO, Jan. 25.—One by one the believers iu hih- priced wheat drop out ofthe market in disgust.
