PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 22.—Smarting under their two defeats in the series with the Syracuse ciub, the Athletics to-day made strenuous efforts to recover their lost ground by playing better ball with the Syracuse team. the homc team’s battery was Green and Cantz and Casey and Lrigge filled those positions for the visit- ors. There wasa good attendance and the weather was pleasant. The opening inning closed with a blank for both sides. In the second the home nine scored one run, the visitors nothing, and in the thira the Athletics batted freeiy and scored three more, the Syracuse having still nothing to their credit. The work of the Athletics was ex- cellent and proved that the home team was in tor blood. Syracuse was fully alive to this fact and played strong. In the sixth inning Casey was retired and Morrison went in to pitch forthe visitors, butthe fresh occupant of the box was hit freely inthat andthe suc- | ceeding Inning.

The local cranks were not disappointed as the local players took a win- ning streak at the start. Clarkson and Hardie for Boston and Terry and Clark for the Brook- lyns were the batteries. Clarkson's delivery proved too much for the visitors who retired inning afterinning without scoring.

The fourth event also fell to a favorite, IIma B. easily deteating Golden Reel, the ouly other starter. and remained there until weil into the streteh, when Golden Rod passed her and beat her under the wire.

CHICAGO, III., April 22.—‘‘Lucky’’ Baldwin’s string of race horses reached Chicago from San Francisco Sunday night in charge of Trainer Robert E. Campbell. They are rest- ing bere and will be shipped in a day or two to Brooklyn, where the Santa Anita stable opens the season. Campbell started from home with thirteen racers, but Ensenada, by Gano or Rutberford—Aritta, was taken sick at Aibu- querque and lett there. The others that will carry the black, with Maltese cross, this year are: 4 Los Angeles 5, ch. m. by Glenelg—LaPolka; Ganymede 1, b. o. by Grinstead—Jennie B.; Honduras 3, ch. e. by Grinstead—Jennie B.

Ocelita 2, b. f. by Norfolk—Mollie McGurn. Los Angeles is expected to do more wonder- ful things this season. She is in fine condi- tion. The 3-year-olds are the best at Santa Anita; having been selected for thecampalgn from a score or more. The 2-year-olds ure small for horses raised in California, but Campbell says they are asfine alot as ever started out from the famous ranch. Ensenada will rejointhe string which will come West again to participate inthe Wash ington Park meeting. Volante came with the others, but was sent to Kentucky yesterday, having been purchased on the coast during the winter by Nick Finzer. Tried for a Kuock-Ont. CHIcAaGo, III., April 22.—A large crowd filled Madison Street Theater last evening to see ‘‘Australian’’ Murphy, the conqueror of the Belfast Spider, Weir, and Tommy White, the feather-weight champion of the Northwest, spar. A number of lesser lights also gave an exhibition of thelr prowess. Early in the con- test between Murphy and White the Australian seemed to be seized with the idea that lommy intended knocking him out. He thereupon sailed in, hammer and tongs, and let Tommy have a right-handewing just behind the ear, flooring him. Tommy arose rather grogey and Murphy peund him viciously on the jaw. Thisriled the Chicago man, and in the second round he smashed the Australian re- peatedly, unally drawing blood from his nose. Murphy rushed at him in return and the crowd yelled with delight, expecting to see a knock- out fight, but were disappointed. The Par- don stepped forwara and cooled the ardor of the combatants, and the remainder of the 7 was very tame. — — Sullivan and Jackson. SAN Francisco, Cal., April 22.—The Call- fornia Athletic Club's Board of Directors at their meeting to-night decided to give a $20,- v00 fora finish battie between Jonn L. d and Peter Jackson.

—— — St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Cuesday, April 22, 189 Q, MAJ, SERPA PINTO, Mis Return to Portugal Intensi- fies the Anti- English Feeling. The Police Suppress All Attempts at Riotous Demonstrations. Emperor William Talks About Press Misre- ' presentations—The Irish Land Purehase Bill—Comments of the Dublin News- papersa—German Miners Denounce the Secialists—President Carnot at the Birthplace of Napoleon L-—Honors to Explorer Stanley at Byunsselse—An Eu- glish Gentleman and His Wife Capt- ured by Arabs—Foreign News. Lonpow, April 22.—The arrival of Maj. Serpa Pinto at Lisbon has still further intensified the anti-British feeling prevailing at the Portuguese capital, and nothing but the firm attitude of the authoritics prevents the re- newaiof the hostile’ demonstrations which disgraced Lisbon a few weeks ago. Au at- tempt was madeto startan anti-Knglish riot last nig dt, but it was promptly suppressed by the police and its inciters were arrested. The Employes Liability Bill, Lonpon, April 22.—The employes liability Dill introduced in Parliament by Home Secre- tary Matthews, before the Easter recess, falls very far short ofsatisfying the representa- tives of labor. The present act is exceedingly faulty and has not worked satisfactorily, either to the employer or the employe, Dur- ing the last three years claluis have been made to'the amount of £150,000, less than £25,000 of which were recovered. The uncer- tuluty of securing their rights under tne act caused workingmen to bDesitate to submit claima, preferring rather to accept what the employer chose to give. The new bill aims at correcting the faults of the present act, but trades unions declare that, While in some respects it is superior to the existing law, in many important points it is obscure and unsatisfactory. The contract clause, which allows a workmanto consent to waive the advantages he receives under the actfrom what he considers an adequate consideration, has always been a bugbear to workingmen andthe trades unions demand its abolition. Experience shows that the em- loyers have mude a tyrannical use of this oophole by compelling mcn, under threat of dismissal, toconsenttoa surrender of their rights. The new bill simply refers the ques- tion to the county courts and leaves the mat- ter much in the same condition as before. The Irish Land Purchase Bill. DUBLIN, April 2.—The Freeman's Journa; (Home Rule), commenting on Mr. Parnell’s speech on the Irish land purchase bull in the House of Commons yesterday, says it is curi- ous to find Mr. Parnell! proposing a scheme by which landlords will be retained in Ireland. The Express (Independent Conservative) says that Mr. Parnell’s proposal is a remarkable one, coming from sucha quarter. His pro- osal asserts the principle for which the land- ords vainly contended before the Irish land act waa passed in 1881. LISTENED TO PARNELL’S SPEEOH. LONDON, April 22.—Lort Hartington, Mr. Dillon, Mr. Gladstone and Lord Randolph Churchill listened to Mr. Parnell’s speech yesterday. Mr. Gladstone will speak on Thursday. Speaker Peel is ill with varicose veins of the leg. DON’T LIKE IT. Gazette says:: We will not retend to like Mr. Parnell proposal. Being is, the Parnellites may support it. If it had been brought in by an English cabinet it would have been overwhelmed with every epi- thet of execration that the Irish imagination could invent. The Pali Mall Germany. BERLIN, April 22.—Delegates ofthe Rhenish and Westphalian miners helda meeting yes terdav and adopted resolutions denouncing connection with Socialists and favoring the formation anew union on a Christian and pa- triotic basis. SEMI-OFFICIALLY DENIED. It is semi-officially denied that Emperor William will visit Spain and Portugal. EMPEROR WILLIAM’S SPEECH. BREMEN, April 22.—Emperor William took dinner yesterday on board the North German Lioyd steamer Fulda. He made a speech, in which he asked Germant to repose confidence in his determination to maintain peace. His words, he sald, were sometimes misinter- preted. The press ought to bear in mind that that the imperial words should not be twisted and misconstrued. His efforts to foster trade and commerce were based on the knowledge that peace alone guaranteed prosperity. The War in Dahomey. PARIS, April 22.—The Temps says that a French force, consisting of 350 troops, made areconnoissance of the position held by the ahomians, seven kilometres from Porto Novo, and subsequently made an attack upon the place. The French force was com- elled to retreat to Porto Novo after thirty rench soldiers and twenty of their native al- lies were killed or wounded. The loss of the Dahomians was heavy. - Corsica.

Lg e Onto riese, Neeb AMUSEMENTS. Mendelssohn Quintette Club- von Bulow Concert—Sarasate and D’ Albert. Tue fifth concert of the Mendelssohn Quin- tette Club takes piace at Memorial Hall, Nine- teenth street and Lucas place, this evening. ‘Theentertainments given by this: organiza-. tion have a well-earned popularity. The pub- lic bas learned to look for something good fromthe club all the time. The expectation has been very generally fulfiiied. The pro- gramme for to-night is well chosen, and those who attend are sure of another treat. von Bulow’s Only Concert. ‘ Dr. Hans Guido Von Bulow, the great pian- ist, will arrive in St. Louis té-morrow morn: ing and wiligive his only concert at Enter- tainment Hall, in the Exposition Building, to- morrow evening. This is his second visit to America, the first occurr ing in 1875-6. On this tour he gives but twenty concerts in the United Siates, and this is positively his only appearance in St. uis. The pro- gramme that was printed on Sunday has been carefully selected. -It contains gews from Beethoven, Mozart, Fr. Chopin, Liszt, and Joachim Raff. Von Buiow is an acknowledged master of the Plano, and his coming is looked upon by musical people as an event to be long re- membered. Thesale of seats has been very large. There are very few left in Entertain- ment Hall. The concert was first announced for Music Hall. Later, Von Bulow objected to the size of the hall, as be feared could not do himself justice in so large an auditorium. He would not listen to the suggestion that the large hall contained seats enou to supply the demand and that the profits would con- He simply said he would not play in Musi¢ Hall, as he thought it When Von Bulow said this he meantit, andthe change had to be made. The result will probably be - very crowded as well ag a very critical lOuse. Sarasate—D’ Albert. The Sarasate-D’ Albert concerts to be given on Thursday evening and at the Saturday matinee bid fair to outdo in artistic effort, any wusicaleventfor years. Pabeso de Sar- asate Is without question the most brilliant violinist living, and except Joachim no one can be compared to him. D’Albert ie the —— — ot the trio of great planists, and ubinstein gives nis true place by he remark uttered in St. Petersburgh in 1888. Oh, youth is everything, D' Albert isthe greatest us all, for he begins where we leave off. The ro- grainme for Thursday evening is interesting. Herr D' Albert opens the concert by playing the Beethoven Sonata, Op. 55. This work is the most interesting and probably the brightest of allthe Beethoven sonatas. The ‘‘Allegro con brio’’ is particularly interesting, and while it does not bristie with the diflicuities of the later movement it requires a depth of ex- pression that makes of this work a test piece for any player. The solos tor D' Albert later in the evening may be called the confection of the whole entertainment. The Chopin Ber- ceuse, Op. 57, is said to be D’Albert’s best effort. It requires a peculiarly ideal sort of interpretation, and D’Alpert is said to be superb im allof his Chopin selections. His technical perfection, and that portion of his playing is said to be beyond all other planists, will be shown in the tran- scription of Strauss’ Waltz by Tausig, Man lebt nur einmal, and in Liszt’s ‘**Tarantalla.’’ Sarasate will play with Mme. Marx, another great pianist, the Beethoven ‘*Kreutzer’’ sonata, a work that requires per- fect balance and understanding between the two instrumentalists. The two artists will also play together Raff’s wonderfully delicate **Liebesfee’’ (the fairy of love). And as the piece de resistance Sarasate will play as a solo his fantasie on airs from Faust, which, it is said, no other violinist living would dare to attempt. The concerts are attracting much attention. The music is not too profound and although it is pure gold throughout, and played as Sarasate and D’Aibert play it, it must be a pleasure to all. Atthe Theaters. Kate Claxton, Charles Stevenson and their company gave a much better performance of The Two Orphans’’ last night than on Sun- day. The house was larger andtheeffect on the company noticeably good. W. J. Scanian, at the Olympic, seems to be started on one of the most successful seasons he has ever known here. He has several new songs and all the old ones, and Myles Aroon,’’ his new play, pleases his audiences thoroughly. Josie Loane, the soubrette, in htr new play, Monte of Montana, is playing to good business at Pope’s. Under the Lash, with W. F. Sandford in — leading role is drawing well at the Stand- ard. The addittonal work of putting on Ben My Chree with its beautiful scenery at the Olym- ple Theatre Monday evening, 28h inst., on the occasion of the. benefitof the St. Louis Press Club, will make it necessary for Mr. Wilson Barrett to take aspecial train from Washington to this city. for this have already been made. The train will leave Washington at 1 a. m. Sunday morning, arriving in St. Louis on Monday morning. Mr. Barrettand his company will be met on the road bya small delegation of St. Louisans. evening in handsome style. ALL the Sporting Events of the Day In our SPORTING EXTRA. Ready at Six O’Clock.

But Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Mcheage kindly worked their best at mak- ing the delicious compound, assisted by the young ladies of the guila, and after a time ali the little ones were supplied. In the evening the grown up people came with the children, and among them many of the so- ciety young ladies and gentiemen.

SAVED BY HIS BROTHER, An Innocent Man Convicted of Burglary by a New York Jury. By Telerraph tothe POsST-DISPATCH. ‘ NEW YORK, April 22.—James Egan, Henry Finnegan and John Flannigan were arraigned in the General Sessions Court on Friday for robbing the house at 39 Sutton place on March 24. Egan and Flannigan pleaded guilty to an attempt to commita burglary. But Finnegan demanded atrial. Henry Graef, who lived opposite the house and caused the arrest of the men, identified Finnegan as the man who entered Mrs. Reilly’s house 45. Egan and who escaped from the hallway when Egan was captured there. He said that the man with Egan had a particularly iong, thin face— which tallied with Finnegan’s cast of coun- tenance—and that he wore a gray suit. Police- man Schenck was not positive that Finnegan was the man who dodged bim inthe hallway, but he looked like himtosome extent. De- tective Camptell testified that he arrested Finnegan on the — 2 — glven him by Graef. In his oon behalf Finnegan testified that he spent the greater part of March 24, and all of the afternoon of that day strolling about the streets in the upper part of the city with Edward Reilly. He had Sut one suit of clothes, a blue suit. His mother cor- roborated bim as to that and Edward Reilly testified rather unsatisfactor:ly as to his al- leged stroll with Finnegan 6n March 2%. The jury convicted Finnegan. Then Egan and Flannigan were called from the prisoner's box and arraigned on either side of Finnegan to receive sentence. Judge, said Finnegan, before you sen- tence me, I want to say a word more.’’ ‘*Certainly, Iwill hear whatever you wish to say, Judge Martin replivd. Then Judge,’’ Finnegan went on earnestly, want to say that I'm innocent. I’ve been convicted tor another man. I’m not the man that wasinthis burglary. But I know who it was. Les, your honor,“ interposed Finnegan’s cousel, I also know who that man is and I will produce him in court. If your honor will remand my client for a few dayslam sure 1 can prevail upon the guilty man tocome for- ward and save my client from undeserved dis- grace and imprisonment.’’ Judge Martine remanded Finnegan. Then he sentenced Egan totwo years in the State prison for two and a half years and Flannigan to the penitentiary for one year and nine months. Soon after Judge Martine ascended the bench yesterday morning, Lawyer West- erfield, Finnegan’s counsel,entered the court- room accompanied by a young man who bore a strong family likeness to Finnegan. He was Daniel Finnegan, Finnezgan’s younger broth- er. Approaching the bar, Lawyer Westerfield „ your honor, is the brother of Finne- He is thé guilty party to the burelary who escaped. He has come into court to sur- render himself, free his brother from un- merited suffering and take whatever punish- ment your honor sees fit to administer.’’ Is this true, Finnegan?’’ said Judge Martine. ‘‘Are you the guilty man, instead of your brother?’’ ‘‘lam, sir,“ answered Finnegan. Let him be committed, Judge Martine ordered. Later iu the day the Grand-jury in- dicted Daniel Finnegan. He will be arraigned to pleadto the indictment this morning. If he formally pleads he will be sentenced at once. Inviewof his voluntary surrender to save his brother, it Is not believed that Judge Martine will impose so severe a penalty as he would have imposed upon Henry Finnegan, the innocent man who demanded a trial. After Daniel Finnegan is disposed of Judge Martine will grant a new trial to Henry Finne- gan, and having dismissed the indictment against him, will order his release.

At s o'elock last night Peter Ennis, white, and Edward Caldwell, colored, got into a quarrel in a saloon on Sixth and Carr streets. The two proceeded to fight, and when they had gtruggied on to the pavement Ennis drew a revolver and, after firing several shots, suc- ceeded in lodging a bullet in the fleshy part 6 Caldwell’s arm. Caldwell was taken to the Dispensary, where the bullet was extracted. A number of colored men shortly afterwards quarreled on Sixteenth and Morgan streets and engaged in a general fight in the courseo f which they traveled six blocks east. When at Tenth and Morgan, one of their number, Samuel Porter, was snot. and seriously wounded. Officer Wilson of the Central Distriet came up at the time and found a mulatto chasing a crowd and firin shots in rapid succession. He followed an arrested the man, who gave the name of Henr Harris. Several other arrests followed and it appears that quite a serious affray took place. — GAVE HIMSELF UP. Kinney, Who Cut G. H.

A 2 f St, Louis Post-Dispatch, Tuesday, April 22. 1890. ON TRIAL AT LAST. SCHOOL BOARD DIRECTOR REIMLER RR. FORK THE COURT OF APLEALS.- The Court Ignores the Wut of Prohibition Issued by Judge Barclay and Goes On With the Case—The Clamps Tightening on Mr. Reimler—An Agreement Which Acted Like a Double-Edged Tool. The tax cases against certain School Direct- ors, which have been hanging fire so long in the Court of Appeals, were brought to trial to-day. It washoped by the respondents in tue cases and their attorneys that the Supreme Court would haye issued a writ prohibiting the Court of Appeals from proceeding in these cases or that it would have passed on the Drabelle law before-this day. As the Supreme Court did not act either way, the Court of Ap- Deals this morning proceeded to business. Judge Rombauer called the case of the State against Oscar Bollman. Mr. Muench, his attorney, said the case would be submitted on evidence to be taken under a stipulation which he filed with the olerk. The evidence will show that Mr. Boliman is a member of the firm of Boliman & Sons, which firm has been paying taxes to both school, city and State for years, and as a member of such firm he has paid a school tax. for two succesive years preceding his election. Judge Rombauer accepted the case as submitted. The next case was that of William Macklin. Attorney F.M.Estes saidjhe understood that Mr. Macklin’s case was set at the bottom of the list of cases to be tried, and for that reason had not summoned his witnesses for trial. Neither Macklin nor his prineipal witness, Henry L. Rogers, were in court. Mr. Estes in a mild way attempted to remind the court that in go- ing to trial on these cases it was opposing a writ issued by a Judge of the Snpreme Court, but as he understood the court to say it would not pass on the cases until the Supreme Court hud passed on the law he would go to trial with his clients. As we have said before, and in ‘language that cannot mislead, we cannot recognize the autbority of an individual member of the Su- preme Court, said Judge Rombauer. ‘‘We will proceed with these cases the same as if there never had been an order issued.’’ But still, Your Honor,“ replied Mr. Es- tes, vou will not decide these cases until the Supreme Court passes onthelaw.’’ . Me do mot say that, answered Judge Rombauer. ‘‘We willnot wait until the Su- preme Court decides upon the constitutlon- ality but will give it ample time to doo before we render auy decision.’’ he Supreme Court may adjourn for the summer, remarked Mr. Estes. It will hardly do so before deciding on the „Case submitted to it when it is aware that a community is waiting upon it. If you do not want to go to trial we will take up the case of August Reimler.’’ ; REIMLER’S CASE ON TRIAL. Mr. Muench, attorney for Mr. Reimler, aid he was ready if his witnesses wore present, and mostof them answering the case pro- ceeded. Mr. Peter Conroy was calied to the stand to produce Reimler's alleged tax receipts and tell the story of his real estute transactions with August Reimler. He produced tax receipts for 1888 and 1889 and deeds from Miss Kate Stanley to his wife and from Reimler to him and his wife. Mr. Camp- Doll asked him to tell the story of the sale. He said he sold some real estate in Baden more than a year ago and loarmed he proceeds, $8,000, through Attorney Leo Rassieur toa Mr. Ittner, recetving a deed of trust on real estate on Park avenue as secur- ity. Later he wished to buy a lot of ground in Vine Grove place. He borrowed $1,000 and bought the property from Miss Kate Stanley. Just ns the deal was about to be closed he went to Mr. Ras- Bieur’s office and there he met Relmlor. A proposition was made to him to the efiect that he sell the property to August Keimler for a short time, as Mr. Reimwler wishedto qualify for the position of School Board Director, andif he would agree to this Mr. Reilmler would pay the taxes of 1888 and 1889, que on the property. and interest from the day of sale on $1,000 until the property was returned. He and Mrs. Conroy agreed to this, and the deeds were made and signed. He re- ceived a note from Mr. Rassieur in February telling him Reimler wanted to return the property, and after some delay the transfer was made, but Mr. Conroy said he never got all the papers, and did not come out even in the deal. H® got the tax receipts, and it was not long before people began caliing on him in lerge numbers about the property, the tax receipts and the deeds until he could not rest. Mr. Fieiding Mansfield called, he said, and got a history of that transaction, and later Mr. Reimler called. He offered ulm and Mrs. Conroy $5 apiece he said if they would give him the tax re- ceipts, saying he wanted to show them and secure his seat in the School Board, but they would not let them go. ‘*That was on St. Patrick’s Day he called, paid Mr. Conroy. Mr. Relmler called again the following Sunday with Ar. Macklin and threatened me with the law. They tried to scare me, but couldn't. ‘*You are an old soldier, are you not?’’ ask- ed Mr. Campbell. Tes, Ifought for the Queen in India and forthe Union in America. But, asl was say- ing, when they could not scare me they tried promises. Reimier said he would wet me a schoo!, steady work on the streets for the city or almost anything I would like to have. I toid Reimler that if he wanted the papesgsicould give them to Mr. Nelson Cole, the only mani would trust, and if he would give them to him, all rignt. He never got tbem.’’ On cross examination by Mr. Muench he repeated that he had agreed with Mr. Rassieur to call on Mr. REIMLER TO RETURN THE PROPERTY to him within six months. Hesaid he never ordered Keimler to pay the taxes and did not know the taxes had been paid by him until the receipts were turned over to him. Mr. Conroy is a thorough Irishman, and several times convulsed the court with his quaint brogue and sayings. ur. Leo Rassile pr was called next. He said De knew Mr. and Mrs. Conroy for about one and a halt years and Mr. Reimler for twenty years. ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Conroy, he said, had received from me $3,000 for some property in Baden the city had 8 and they asked me to loan it. I did so to Mr. Ittner with security on Park avenue property. They asked me to examine the title of a lot they had selected belonging to Miss Stanley, aud I did. They borrowed the money te buy it. That deal was closed and at this point Mr. Reimier made bis appearance and asked me if he was eligible to become a Director in the Pub- lic School Board, Itold him I thought he had complied with the spirit of the law, as he be- longed to a jarge tax paying corporation, even though his brewery was absorbed in the St. Louis Brewing Association and stock was issued to him by the associvtion. In that conver ation I told him not to run for office, but he seemed so urgent andi feeling that he was not secure I told him I had two clients who owed two years’ taxes on some property which h conte purchase and return it after paying tietaxes. I informed Mrs. Conroy of wy intention and she asked me what would be her benefit. I told her Mur. Reimler would pay the taxes and interest, and would sign a contract to return the prop- erty. Deeds were made out, signed anc re. corded and the taxes were paid from Mr. Relmler's check for $1,000. Some two months ago Mr, Relmier said he would like to use the $1,000 he had paid Mr. and Mrs. Conroy in another real estate deal. I told Mrs. Conroy of Mr. Reimier’s intention, and she and her husband expressed their disgust, as they thought they would have six months o pay the $1,000. , at 12 o’ciock Mr. Reimler took the stand in nis own defense and said be was a resident of this city for twenty-four years and bas been engaged in the brewery business for years. He told the story marrated above and ad- mitted that he had never seen the property he bought before he paid for it. He could not explain how it came that he brought property next to Mr. Bartholdt. His was asked to tell his side of the stary about offering money to Mr. and Mrs, Conroy to gain possession of the taxreceipts. Hesaid he called at Mrs. Conroy’s and asked her for the tax receipts he bad paid. She refused, saying they would * 8 re — —— ro nally. coe —— in “fr.

As to getting him à school fh al at on the streets he said he would use his infu- ence when Mr. Conroy asked him for a job, but he did not try te buy * with promises.

Lard, formerly a book-keeper in the employ of Flesh & Mook, house and sign painters, 414 North Third street, was arrested yesterday on a charge of embezzlifig $10,500 of that frm’s money. Lard was discharged about a month ago, and he has since been doing business asa book-maker in Ullman'e pool-room, where he was arrested. He entered the employ of Flesh & Mook eight years ago, and till quite recently he enjoyed the confi- dence of his employers in spite of his frequent visits to pool rooms aud bis association with betting men. As early as September, 1853, however, it is charged, he commenced falsify- ing his books, his system being quite simple and one that careful audit would have exposed at anytime. On Maron 17, the firm found out that things were not square, and discharged Lard, accepting from him 3500 and some securities which he assured them would more than cover the deficiency. Subsequent inves- tigation showed that he had taken over $15, 000, over one-fourth of which had been embezzied last year. On finding the defalcations were so heavy, Messrs. Flesh & Mook deoided to prosecute. Lard was arrested while reg'stering bets. He admitted taking the money and attributed his fall to betting. His bond was fixed at $15,000 and he was locked up in default of securing it. Lard is a good looking man of about 40 years of age, and has a wife and daughter who live at 918 Sarah street. He is well connected and has been acting as secretary of the Dam- eron Hunting and Fishing Club. Lard did not return with his bondsman un- til morning. Even then Lard was not placed in jail. He was taken to the Court of Criminal Correction, where he held down a comfortable chair un- til the arrival of Judge Campbell. The latter gave the prisoner permission to oe- cupy his private office until after the adjourn- ment of court. In connection with the account of these very un- usual proceedings it might be mentioned thatthe prisoner Lard is a relative of ex-Goy. Silas Woodson. He admits that there may be some slight mistakes’’ in his accounts and wants time to square the matter without any criminal prosecution. The embezzlement was discovered about three weeks ago, when a hasty examination of Lard’s accounts was made. The result was such that Lard was at once discharged and an expert called ein. An investigation bas. been in progress ever since. It is probable that Lard lost the money in gambling, as he has establistred a racing boo in Pool Alley. A bond in the sum of $5,000 has been agreed upon and will be furnished to- day. Lard is very welleonnected. He is the son of the famous Campbellite minister who so ardently pushed the new faith in Ken- tucky. Ex-Gov. Woodson is his brother-in- law. Attorneys Thomas B. Harvey and Mar- shall F. McDonald have been retained for tae defense. THE COMMISSION MEN’S EXCURSION. Meeting ef Committees and Perfeeting of Arrangements.

A CITY DELEGATE CHARGED WITH NATUR- ALIZATION FRAUDS. 7 Beginning of His Second Hearing in United States Courts—Story of the Indictment— Ten Intelligent Men Were’ Barred From Jury Service in the Box Because They Read the Papers. : Julius Lehmann, member of the House of Delegates, wood-turner and politician, was put upon trial in the United States Circuit Court this morning under an indictment charging him with securing naturalization of aliens under the law applying te minors to which the applicants were not entitled. | The indictment was found on November 4, 1889, by a Grand-jury of the District Court and returned into that court. Mr. Lehmann had been indieted, tried and convicted in the Dis- trict Court for similar offenses, and a new tria) had been granted him. Owing to great failure of memory on the partof wit- nesses the case was never pushed to retrial. After the new indictment was found District Attorney Reynolds, hoping to secure more liberal rulings from Judge Caldwell of the Circuit Court than Judge Thayer had made in similar cases, bad the new case against Leh- mann, Jas. Sweeney, Peter R. Morrissey and others transferred to the Circuit Court. The order was made on January 23. Since the time the case against SWEENEY HAS BEEN TRIED, Judge Caldwell presided and ruled on the lines Judge Thayer had adopted, thus dissi- pating the Government’s hopes. Judge Cald- well is away now and Judge Thayer was on the bench this morning. Lehmann is charged with testifying in the Court of Criminal Correction and in the Crim- mal Court when certain persons applied for naturslization that they had arrived in this country three years before arriving at the age ot 21 years, and were therefore entitled to na- turalization as minors, without necessity fora preliminary declaration of intention, when in fact not one of the persons was entitied to minor papers. The persons for whom it is alleged he gave false testimony, the dates and courts are given below. THE NATURALIZED. Wm. Harstmansboff of 1512 North Fifteenth street, Court of Criminal Correction, Septem- ber 20, 1888. Henry Deicken of 4607 Bulwer avenue,Court of Criminal Correction, September 25, 1888. Albert Ziesemann of 1519 Monroe street, Court ot Criminal Correction. September 25, 1888. John Repp of 2224 Montgomery street, Court of Criminal Correction, September 25, 1888. Henry Babzer of 2261 Bremen avenue, Court of Criminal Correction, October 1, 1888. Henry Schiess, Court of Criminal Correo- tion, September 6. 1888. Ernst John of 1217 Lami avenue, Criminal Court, October 12, 1888. John Schaub of 4006 North Twenty- second street, Court of Criminal Correction, Septem- ber 25, 1888. Gustav Woebner of 3706 Natural Bridge road, Court of Criminal Correction, September 20, THE WITNESSES called for the Government are, beside the above persons for whom naturalization was fraudulentiy obtained, E. A. Noonan, who was then Judge of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection; A. A. Paxson, who about the times mentioned in the indictment acted for Judge Noonan; M. J. Kenefick and Wm. L. Fitz- gerald, cierk and deputy,cilerk of the Court of Criminal Correction; Ber- nard Finney, deputy clerk of the Crimi- nal Court; Fred. Zepp, and Charles Bellhartz. It is not expected that the persons for whom naturalization was obtained will remember what questions were asked of Leh- mann, or that he was asked any questions, or that he was sworn to answer questions. It is not expected that the court oflicers will re- member that Lehmann was examined in re- gard to the qualifications of any one ofthe applicants for citizenship. Such direct testi- mony has never been obtained in any of the naturalization fraud cases. The best that the Government can expect to do is to elicit from the saturalized the fact that Julius Lehmann took them into court, that they secured minor papers through his efforts; that they were one and ail over 21 years old when they came to this country; and to elicitfrom the court officers that invariable rules controlled the natural- ization of candidates; thatallapplicants and witnesses were examined and certain ques- tions were asked of them; that unless the questions were properly answered certificates were refused. IF ONE OF THE NATURALIZED should develop sufficient memory to be able to degeribe all that occurred whiie he was ob- taining a certificate of naturalization to which he was not entitled, the surprise of all per- sons connected with the case would be well worth describing and illustrating. There was considerable difficulty in secur- ing ajury. Twenty-four men were called into the jury-box and examined. Of this number ten were challenged for cause and excuse. They bad formed opinions from evidence in the previous trial of Lehmann, had formed and in most cases ° HAD EXPRESSED OPINIONS astothe guilt or innocence of the accused. They were: Louis Duestrow, John B. Denvir, Nat. M. Drake, Laciede J. Howard, Wm. A. Clendennin, H. K. Haziet, Charles A. Mu. Sehiierholz> Henry C. Zelle, Lincoln H. Loy and Turner Lewis, all of the City of St. Louis. Not one juror from the City of St. Louis was left In the box. Six men, ail St. Louisians, were called into the box and the Marshal was ordered to call eight more. The six men were examined. They were traveling men with the exception of two and not one uf them had ever heard of the case. When the examination ofthese were con- cluded the court adjourned until 2 o’clock, when the work of selecting a jury was com- pleted.

From the Chicago Tribune. The painter was rather averse to giving away the tricks of his trade, but the reporter as usual succeeded in getting some Informa- tion that will be appreciated by believers in home economy. This particular man hap- pened to be a veritable cyclopediaof knowl- edge pertaining to his trade. As it is getting along toward house-cleaning time the ladies will want to knowthe best way to clean painted surfaces, said tne painter, This work should be done carefully in order to avoid damaging the paint. Use a fiannel rag dipped into warm soapsuds, then into whiting. Do not use a strong aikalisoap that will cut the paint, but select a milder variety. Hard rubbing is unnecessary. The same rule willapply to natural wood finish. If itis a good job of wood finishing the dirt will roll off easily. There seemto be few people who know that wall paper can be cleaned so nicely as to look as good as new, yet it is a fact. One easy methodistorub the papar thoroughiy with a plece of softrye bread. That isn’t a bad plan, but amore effective one is to sat- urate a piece of flannel! in spirits of wine and rub gently over the paper. Either method will absorb the dirt. . After a painter has been at work on the house for a few days the windows are found to be well covered with paintsplashes. The best way to remove them isto rub with a stiff brush dipped in camphor and sand. Coal oil, benzine or turpentine will do the work gatis- factorily if the paint has not become too dry, and in that event animonia will do it. If paint should happen to have splashed upon the clothing the spots should be saturated with turpentine and allowed to stand for sev- eral hours, then rubbed off. Alcohol or gaso- line are better for light-eolored clothing. Most people who get themselves daubed with pene make the mistake of rubbing it into the cloth. When a man wants to do alittle job of paint- ingon hisown hook, when the work is not important enough to require a regular painter, he should atany rate know how to do it right. Boiled oil is the material. for mixing; turpentine is thethinner and japan the dryer. To thin paint add a little liquid at a time, then baat or stirit thoroughly before adding more, and so On untilthe proper con- sistency isreached. Paint should always be applied in thin eoats, and each successive coat shéuld be thoroughly dry before another is applied. Use plenty Of oll in mixing. It dries more slowly, but makes the paint elas- tic, lasts longer, and prevents cracking. This is the season, too, when the carriage- owner wants his old vehicle to look like a new one. The carriage painter takes it in charge and by the quick American method completes the work and returns it to the owner in an in- credibly short space of timo. Last year the varnish spotted shortly after it was out of the shop and the painter and the varnish were of course condemned. But it was the fault of neither. .Whenthe buggy spots it does not necessarily indicate oor work or poor varnish. It is caused by the ammonia in the atmosphere or in the spots of mud and siush that have splashed upon it. To avoid the trouble haye the vehicle washed carefully, never allow spots of mud to dry upon it, an if possible, keep it out of reach of the am- monia-laden atwosphere of the stables. EASILY RID, or HER, The Way in Which a Maori Chief Disposed of a Wife. From the New York Tribune. sir George Bowen, the former Governor of New Zealand, relates that among the loyal Maori chiefs whom he invited to meet the Duke of Edinburgh when the latter visited the colony was one of the original signers of the treaty of Waitang! in 1840, who had ever since been a firm friend of the English. One of the Anglican bishops afterward said to the Governor: Do you know, sir, the en- tecedents of that old heathen?’ «No, Bishop,’ l > 1 do know t bis clansmen flela to fight for the Queen, so I invited him to meet the Queen's son. „Well,“ continued the Bishop, ‘‘when I first arrived in New Zealand that chief came to me and said that he wished to be baptized. I knew that he had two wives, sol told him that he must persuade one of them to return to her family, He said he feared that would be dificult; but thathe would see what could done and come back to me in two months. When he returned he exclaimed: ‘Now, wissionary, baptize me, for I have only one asked: ‘What have you done with our first wife?’ smacking his ips: ‘1 pave eaten her.“ MERM “a Fl.

O’RIELLY MAKES A POINTED REPLY TO FATHER M’KFENNA’S CHARGES, He Denies That He Is or Ever Was a Clan- Na- Gael Man—The Doctor Scores the Politicians Whe Have Attempted to Use the Irish National League fer Their Own Advancement. The little storm that began to brew in the Irish National League is growing larger and more tempestuous. However, much it might be regretted should anything occur to inter- fere with the work of the league, there are dangers now ofa disruption unless the prom- inent menin the movement reach an under- standing. The latest explosion is Father Mc- Kenna’s violent attack on Dr. Thos. O’ Reilly, whieh was sent out by Associated Press this morning. é When the Executive Committee of the Irish National League met here last week a cable- gram was sent to Parnell asking whether be would assent to a call for a convention. According to the constitution of the League a convention should be held every two yeers, but as year after year the situation in the British Parliament has changed so as to give Irishmen hope of success in the imme- diate future, the leaders have looked with less and less favor upon a conyention, beéause the greater the possibility of obtaining the passage of a home rule measure the more delicate became the question of policy, and there was a grave fear that in the excite- ment of a convention something might be said which would upset all the work of years and make bome rule as distant a possibility as it was when Charles Stewart Parnell first went ta Pariiament and demanded a hearing on the floor of the House of Commons. For this rea- son Parnell bas staved off a convention two years beyond the time, but the executive com- mittee has expressed an earnest wish fora convention. In fact a resolution was adopted calling one in Baltimore, but as that action is gudjeee to the approval or disapproval of Parnell no date was fixed. The cablegram ar- nell’s consent to this action was not repliea to. The members of the committee explain by saying that it was sent to Dublin when Parnell was in London, and that he was so busy with Balfour’s land-purchase bill, which is a very important measure, that he did not have time to give the question of a convention bis attention. After waiting two days to hear from him, the Executive Committee ad- journed, and Dr. 0 Reilly, one of the council has charge of the the — between the sessions of the committee, was commissioned to write to the Irish leaders urging the necessity for @ convention. In compiiance Dr. O' Relliy wrote the following er THE LETTER TO DILLOY, Sr. Lovis, April 20.—My DEAR Em: meeting of the executive council of the Irish National League Of America has adjourned, after passing a series of resolutions, amongst them one to calla convention to be held at Baltimore, Md.

Father McKenna saw the letter, and it made himangry. Hethen wrotethe following re- ply, which he furnished the Associated Press: M’KENNA’S SCORCHING EPISTLE. Dr. UO’ Reillv of St. Louis sent a letter last week to John Dillon, M. P., against which I wish to pretest. I write this in order to pro- test against the spirit and letterof his writing. In the first place, he isa Clan-na-Gacl man. Jam not, and never have been, although the Clan-na-Gael has wished to make it appear that 1 was one. I do not believe in their methods. (2) Dr. O’Reilly’s state- ment is false when he talks about the delegates of last week as- sembling from every State within the United States. There were not delegates present from every State in the United States. The Nation- al League has no existence in this country at the present time. In conclusion, I have al- ways remarked that the States of the United States which contribute the least—like Mis- sour! and Illinois and Michigan—always dictate the policy of the League. For one, I will not submit to such a leadership of assas- sins, and like Mr. McCaffrey of Philadelphia, I publicly resign my position. (Signed) „P. A. MCKENNA, **National Vice-President I. A. L. Dr. O’ Reilly was called on this morning and shown the McKenna letter. He had read it, but be read it over again, and very plainly suid that the statements were not true. Are you a Clan-na-Gael man?“ was asked. No. That les a lie. Here isa letter which I have written to Mr. Charles Osborne, the agent of the Associated Press. You may have a copy ot it. It is whatI wish to say. The letter read as follows: DR. O’REILLY’S REPLY. ST. Louis, April 22, 1890, DEAR Str—The Associated Press dispatches from Boston of this morning contain a letter over the signature of one who calls himself P. A. McKenna,National Vice-President of the I. A. L., in which the writer protests against my letter to Jobn Dillon, Esq., M. P., forthe reason, as he asserts,that I am a Clan-na-Gael man. Let me correct this statement by saying that I never belonged to any secret society, andasI am sure some if not all his otber sweeping and intemperate exptessions have no better foundation for truth, I Wi not al- lnde to them except to say that they remind memoreof the ravings of a disappoin man than of one who dispassionately could discuss a point on which he and others differ. Respectfully, THOS. O'REILLY. The odctor’s rather pointed reply did not touch some ofthe points, and he was asked further about Father McKenna’s allegations. In reply he said: I have never belonged to a secret society in my life, and could .not without its wee known. It is not true that lam a Clan-na-G and as to representation of the States at t meeting of the Executive Committee, nearly every State was represented, and we had three delegates from Canada. McKenna speaks of Missourt, Lilinois and Michigan not paying much — tothe league; why, the States are prorated, and those three have paid their proportion just as others have.’’ Can you understand whathe means by saying that at the present time there les no Irish National League in America?’’ ‘‘Icannot.

It is extremely improbable that the experts at home ever let him wander out ofthe State with that amount on his person. 288 Tux members of the Pan- American Congress were getting homesick, and all but two having declined to go on the tour through the Southern States, that part of the excursion has been abandoned. Mk. BLAINE says he is sorry to disappoint the Southern trade centers, and some of them may believe him. 1— — — Mr. HAnRISON 's Administration is ap- parently the reverse of influential among the members of its own party in Congress. Of fifteen Republicans sent by the House to confer with the Senate Repub- licans on the silver question, not one was in favor ofthe Administration measure, * Ind., one of the most fertile farming counties in the Mississippi Valley, to find out how land mortgages had varied under different tariffs. The records show that, in 1850, the land mortgages in Tipton County ‘amounted to $156,129, and de- creased to $148,798 in 1860, the end of the first and only decennial period ‘of the low Walker tariff of 1846. Under our war tariff the land mortgages in- creased to $607,000 in 1870 to $802,148 in 1880, and to 92.287, 4383 on January 1, 1890, Do the people want another ten year period of the taxation that has piled so many mortgages on farms and closed so many mabnutacturing establishments since 1880? — | THE FARMER’S CANDIDATE The idea that money can buy any office from either party for anybody who has the money and is willing tospend it, has taken possession of the plutocrats of this country, since so many seats in the Senate have been sold by both parties to silent millionaires who do not pretend to fill them and rarely condescend even to sit in them. | But familiar as the people are with the names of these dummies, and with their utter want of qualification for the posi- tions they hold by right of purchase only, the idea that there is no limit to the pur- chase of legislative seats and public offices has not yet obtained a place among the unquestioned axioms of American poli- tics. LELAND STANFORD’s effort to give it a fixed place among those axioms by adding the Presidency to his other purchases of high offices shows his strong faith in the progress of plutocracy, but it will pre- sent to the people in a sharply defined and aggressive shape the question whether the purchase of office is to be recognized as local and exceptional or as a national and permanent method of government, There is much in the recent history of the country tostrengthen Mr. STANFORD’sS faith and hopes. If he, the typical mo- nopolist of the age; the original promul- gator of the proposition that railroads have a sort of divine right to charge “al that the traffic will bear,” the organizer of the Pacific road and Pacific steamship pool to suppress competitidn; the engineer and one of the chief ben- eficiaries of the great Pacific railroad robbery, could make himself Governor and Senator from California by founding a free college with part of his booty, why may he not make himself the favorite statesman and Moses of the farmer and laborer organizations by fooling them with a bogus scheme to make wild-cat bankers of them all? If he can capture them with such chaff, the Presidency is within his grasp, and there is no public office, no power, that plutocracy in its most odious form may not hope to control in this country. — — 0. — WHAT THE COURT DID NOT SAY. Both the minority and the majority opinions of the Supreme: Court in the Neagle case are strangely ,misconstrued by a number of the papers which have criticised them. Some critics imagine that they seein the decision of the court the monstrous doctrine that Federal officiuls are atall times and places and under all circum- stances under the protection of the Fed- eral Courts and exempt from trial by State Courts, and we are told that this makes Federal officers a privileged class; that when officials are thus put above State law the natural equality of citizens is destroyed. Now the decision very carefully dis- tinguishes between the acts of a Federal official as a man and what is done by him in pursuance of United States law and in the discharge of his official duties and obligations. The right to pass upon these duties and obligations, and to protecta Federal official from State prosecution for in pursuance of United States law, is all that the decision affirms. The dissenting opinion of FULLER and LAMAR fully concedes this, and only takes the ground that there was no United States law making it the duty of NEAGLE to kill Terry. So FULLER and LAMAR are by some critics accused of practically de- nying the right of the general Govern- ment to protect its judges and other offi- cers in the discharge of their duties. This is another groundless misstatement. the right of the Government, and con- tended only thata United States law to cover the case had not been enacted; that the protection of NEAGLE in the discharge of his duties was amply provided for by State law, and that the same courts which would have had sole jurisdiction to punish TERRY if he had murdered Fri, were entirely competent to try NEAGLE for killing TERRY. — --- © -—~s In breaking with the Aulerites at the special School Board meeting, Director Brapy took occasion to admit that for the last three months he had been ‘‘asso- ciated with a handful ofthieves,” and Di- rector O’CONNELL spoke ofthe committee official acts done in the line of duty and. FULLER and LAMAR distinctly recognized. ss as his only eafthly possession, and insist on regarding him as the Randall of the Senate, And yet at Atchison his fortune is estimated all the way from $250,000 to $500,000, his income from rentals is said to exceed his salary, his bank stock is be- lieved to be considerable, and while he is buying lots and building he pays as he goes and is not burdened with mortgages as the Kansas farmers are. But perhaps any Senator who is worth less than a mill- ion should be held up as shining example of self-denial and honorable poverty. 1 THE shameful spectacle which the School Board of the great vity of St. Louis is now making of itself has been brought upon us by those who did not vote atthe election. It is a disgusting object lesson, but may serve a good purpose in showing honest tax-payers what usually happens when they leave the election of School Directors to the followers of tricky ward politicians of the worst class. DIRECTOR BOLLMAN asks to be excused from participating in the School Board riots, pending the adjudication of his right to his seat. But while one dis- gusted member obtains relief by absent- ing himself, there seems to be no relief for the people at large. How they would straighten things out if the courts could only give them a chance to elect a new School Board now! _ = WiIrn its circulation up in the sixty thousands, with corresponding increases in newsboys’ sales, carriers’ routes and mail orders and with from eighty to ninety columns of paid advertising in every issue the SuNDAY POsT-Dispa?cH can afford to be on good terms with the world and to wish prosperity to its com- petitors, according to their deserts. The Ingalls Sneer. From the New York WoRLD. The Kansas Senator’s mind hasthe sharp- ness ofa very narrow and bigoted partisan. Itisapity to see a man of his gifts and at- tain ments from the wide-horizoned West fall- ing into the petty provincialism of the New England political Pharisees, and treating the Democratic party—which polled 100,- 000 more votes than the Republicans at the last general election — as ‘*baving neither conscience, convic- tions nor defined principles, and ‘‘arrayed against social order. If this were true, Republican institutions would be already a failure. Mr. Ingalls’ hackneyed sneer that theDemocratic party is strongest where) pub- lic and private morality is weakest’’ comes with superlative cheek from a leader of the party which owes its success to the organized corruption of Quay and the systematized bribing of Dudley. Farmers With a Home Market. From the Philadeipbia Times. When the counties immediately surround- ing Philadelphia, with a million of people to supply witn fruits, vegetables, milk, hay, etc., in addition to the heaviest farm crops for the general market, and their lands re- duced from 30 to 50 per cent in value within the last decade, and farming growing less re- munerative each year, what must be the con- ditions of the less favored farmers of Penn- sylvania? The general decrease in the value of farms and the apparently constant decrease in the rewards of farm labor, certainly cali for heroicremedy. It is not a normal condition of that industry. The evils must be the growth ofillogical and strained discrimina- tion against farm industry by the laws of the land; and there should be a prompt and effectual remedy. Brute Silence. From the New York Times. It is now announced bythe venerable and respectable Mr. Hoar that his party in the Senate will ‘‘sit out’’ the Montana case when it comes up, but that they ‘‘have no intention of further discussing it. Further discuss- ing’’ is a charming phrase in this connection. The Republican Senators have not dared to try to discuss the case after the firet day, when they found themselves entirely unable to meet the arguments of the Democrats based on undisputed facts. The simpletruth is— and it is disgraceful to men like Messrs. Hoar and Edmunds and Evarts—that the Republi- cans are determined on seating their Senators from Montana in defiance of every considera- tion of law, justice or decency, and they will do it by voting them in in brute silence.

THE PROCEEDINGS, After the meeting had been called to order Rev. Dr. Joseph D. Wilson of St. Louis offered the opening prayer. Dr. T. Griswold Com- stock of St. Louis them made the address of welcome. He said his task was a grateful one, which he gladly accepted. The delegates were welcomed to all the courtesy and hospitality of the Queen City of the Mis- sissipp! Valley. Dr. Comstock then spoke ofthe work they were about to undertake and of the progress made by homeopathy. Dr. Kunnels, the President of the organiza- tion, madea brief and appropriate response. Dr. Luyties read the minutes of the thirteenth annual session, after which he read the report of the Treasurer, Dr. H. W. Webster of Kansas City, who was absent. It showed the receipts for the year to have been $168 and the ex- penditures $164, leaving a balance of $% in the treasury. Drs. W. A. Edmunds and T. G. Comstock of St. Louis were appointed a committee to audit the report. They reported in a fhort time that they had found the Treasurer’s ac- counts correct, and recommended that bis re- port be adopted. Acommitteeon credentials was appointed consisting of Drs. A. C. Jones of Holden, Mo., and F. M. Martin of Maryville. Dr. W. B. Morgan of St. Louis was chosen temporary Treasurer in the absence of tne regular Treasurer, Dr. Westover of St. Joseph. The Committee on Uredentials reported that they had examined and found correct the cre- dentials of Dr. A. L. Monroe, President of the Kentucky Institute of Homeopathy and Del- egate to the meeting from the Southern Home- opathic Medical Society; and of Dr. W. B. Clarke of Indianapolis, delegate from the In- diana Institute of Homeopathy. REPORTS ON PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS were then announced. to bein order, and Dr. Edmunds spoke on the Children’s Free Hospital and alsoon the Homeopathic Col- lege bere; Dr. A. H. Schotton the Baptists’ Orphan Home; Dr. Mrs. Gutherz on the Woman’s Homeopathic Hospital Society and the Woman’s Aid Society forthe same hospi- tal, and Dr. Runnels on the Homeopathic Hospital of Kansas City. All spoke encourag- ingly of the various institutions. Dr. Clark of Indiana spoke on the Indiana Institute of Homeopathy and said that the President of the Board of Health there wasa Homeopath. He also stated that Dr. Lewis, President of the State Medical Society ot New York, an Allopathic or old school organiza- tion, had at the annual meeting of the society, held at Albany in February 5, stated that the best college in New York was a Homeopathic College and had recommended the teaching of Homeopatby in all medical colleges. PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. The President then delivered his annual ad- dress, the subject of which was Health and Study. Inthe course of the paper he ar- gued thatthe modern system of tuition was apt to seriously impair the future health of the student. Among the points touched upon was the effect of excessive study on the eyes. Oculists found an immense increase in cases of injured eyes, and this was the result largely of overwork and too constant a strain in all kinds of light. The eyes were used almost incessantly without due regard to as. certuined laws of health. These injuries to the eyes were not entirely local, for many cases ofaserious nature were traceable to eye troubles, including even epileptic troubles. Teachers often showed a lament- able ignorance in this matter, and failed to grasp the Importance of the issues involved. On the question of FEMALE EDUCATION Dr. Runnels was very severe. He pointed out that young ladies were overcrowded with study at the most critical period of their lives. Their vital energies were often impaired to a lamentable extent in consequence, and it was not to be wondered at that every quack adver- tised ‘‘diseases of women’’ as aspeciaity. The old er i206 that a study of the dead languages was necessary for mental discipline had long since been exploded and the study of mathematics had been absurdly overdone. It was time that men who could not earn a livelihood outside the lecture room should cease to be intrusted with the tuition of boys and giris, and they should be replaced by competent and experignced physicians. In schools and colleges physical training should have the first prominence, moral teaching should come next, and mental dis- cipline should be the third and last object. Every school should have a large and thor- oughly equippec gymnasium and the practical should no longer be sacrificed for the orna- mental. An enlightened public opinion was clamoring tor reform and no balf-hearted measures would be acceptable. Dr. Joshua Thorn of Kansas City rose when the applause following the .reading of the ad- dress hid subsided and said: ‘Those words sound like AN ALARM BELL. I never heard those good truths so ably put, and Itrust the committee to which the ad- dress will be referred will take good care they are not buried in the tombs of this or any other society. For thirty-five years 1 have been trying te make these truths apparent, but you might just as well talk to a post as aschool teacher. It is a digraceful thing that any old preacher who hasn't go enough in him to getachurch should be al- lowed to go and attempt to teach the young. It is the doctors who ought to fill these po- sitions and not preachers, who know about as much of the needs of the young people at the eriod of adolescence as they o about eaven.”’ (Laughter. ] Drs. Thorn and W. D. Foster of Kansas Oity and Dr. W. G. Hall of St. Joseph were appointed a committee on the President's ad- dress with instructions to report at 9 v’clock to-morrow morning, and the convention then adjourned. he butter w i name signed to the 88 * Re eres that n by express to 1.

Emma Johnso of the porch inthe rear of her residence at THE WIFE OF J. K. KMMET, THE ACTOR, SUES FOR DIVORCE. Nettes Served on ‘Frits’’ at the Harlem Upera-House During a Matinee Fer- formance—The Leading Lady of the Cempany Fercibliy Ejected From the Theater—A Werdy War Between Emmet and His Son. New Tonk. April 22.—A notice of sult for divorce was served on Mr. J. K. Emmet on Saturday afternoon while he was playing at Hammerstein“ Harlem Opera-house. In the complaint, which was drawn by a legal firm in Albany, the home of the Emmet family, declares that she was married to Joseph K. has lived with him as his wife until the beginning ot the present suit. In- fipelity to his marriage vows more than once is charged against the actor, but the specific allegations name Miss Maude White, the leading lady of Mr. Emmet’s company, as the co-respondent. Besides these indisctetions Mr. Emmet is accused of misconduct with offier women in Philadel- phla and elsewhere. Mr. Emmet has been playing forthe past week in his latest suc- dess, Fritz in a Mad-house.’’ He bas been drinking hard, and when the papers were served on him he was hardy able to appreciate the gravity of the situa- tion. The events which occurred on the stage were intensely more dramatic than anything which Fritz has yet produced before the public, All the events, it now appears, had been carefully pre-arranged by the actor’s manager, his son, Joseph K. Emmett, Jr.—first the serving of the divorce papers in the afternoon; then the sensational scene in the theater atnignt and the subse- quent commitment of the actor to the hospl- tal. Mr. Emmet, Sr., with Mr. Morris, who has been writing a new play for the actor, and one or two other acquaintances was sitting on the stage after the curtain had been rung down. Miss White in passing across the stage stopped to speak to ‘‘Fritz.’’ Just then Mr. Emmet, Jr., who is his father’s manager, stepped briskly upon thestage. He strode up to Miss White and brusquely ordered ber to leave the place at once. The leading lady“ indignantly refused to do so, and inquired by whatright young Mr. Bmmet addressed her im that way. A few more words passed and then young Mr. Emmet exclaimed: Ive told you to leave the stage. go?’’ e Iwill not,“ replied Miss White, and was about to add some other words when young Mr. Emmet seized her by the shoulder and pshued her roughly toward the door. She cried out for him to desist as she was hustied across the stage, but before any one could in- tertere he had opened the door and shoved her into asmall property-room adjoining the stage entrance. 4 „What does this mean?“ shrieked the 8 lady. **Let me back! 1 will not be insulted in this oung Mr. Emmet held ‘the door against her, and meantime the employesof the the- ater, attracted by her screams, gathered excitediy in the hall leading to the stage. Mr. Emmet was excitedly trying to remon- strate with hisson. The latter roughiy told his father to keep quiet. Miss hite’s shrieks could be heard out in the street, and young Mr. Emmet, again telling or rather ordering his father not to interfere, opened the door and called two policemen who had been stationed in the hall beforehand by the young man. „Jou are discharged from this company; et out of the theater at once,’’ cried young ir. Emmet to the still screaming ‘‘leading lady, and, as she showed no more dispos tion to leave than before, he exclaimed to the em po ee present, ‘‘Put that woman eut of ere at once. . Miss White now appealed hysterically for protection to Manager Hammerstein, who had appeared upon the scene, He was reluctant to interfere, and while still crying out at the top of her voice she was elbowed out into the theater office.

But when father and son began their excited controversy, which seemed likely to come to biows, the great shaggy animal rose and 1 — them. The dog looked on in manifest surprise and apparentiy in readiness to interfere if the son should make an assault upon the father. There were no blows struck, however, and Mr. Emmet, Sr., having emptied the vials of his wrath upon his son, finally became calmer —or rather his voice seemed to fail him and he appeared half dased. ‘*Well,’’ ne sald at last, ‘‘I will go with you this time; but, * scoundrel that you are, I shall never call you son again. A carriage was called and Emmet, Sr., was driven to the Manhattan Hospital. He stren- uously denies than any improper intimacy ever existed between Miss White and himself.

Hoping you will read afd present this letter to the board at their ete Te alt I beg to remain, yours most resp ai | O. H. BOLEMAN. The letter was not a surprise, because in- formation of it had been received by the members through the Post-DISPaTcH. Mr. Macklin objected to its being filed at a special meeting which had been called for a specific purpose. Thechair sustained the objection but afterwards reversed his decision in order to permit Mr. Macklin to talk on the commu- nication. Macklin’s speech was principally denuncla- tory of John W. O'Connell, Fielding Mans- field and Peter P. Dailey. He said it was un- fortunate that the Drabelie law did not re- quire that members should have brains and decency as wellas tax receipts. In conclu- sion he said that the Aulerites presented their Opponents with Bollman, and hope they would bave less trouble with him than they had experienced. Mr. Holmes objected to what Macklin said about Fielding Mansfield and characterized it as false in every particular. After it had beeu decided thatthe Lands and heasing Committee’s report could not be acted on except ataregular or adjourned session, the Election Commilitee’s Standing-Kelly contest was takeu up. Mr. O’Connell moved that its consideration be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Macklin asked if Mr. O’Connell had any reasons for his motion, and the latter replied none except that the men whotried it were the finest lot of villains who ever cocked a gun. Mr. Richardson said that he would not vote for the report because the good name of his friend Sol Quinlivan bad been impeacbed. Mr. Holmes charged that the ballot boxes had been tampered with by the Aulerites. Mr. Rassieur was then called upon to tell whathe knew in regard to the manner in which the contest was conducted by the com- mittee. He did so and said that the showing was such as to prove conclusively that Direc- tor Kelly was not entitied to his seat. When finally a vote was taken on Mr. O’Con- nell’s motion toindefinitely postpone action on the report of the committee the ballot re- sulted as follows: Ayes—Messrs. Barstow, Brady, Dozier, Holmes, McEntire, Miller, O’Connell, O’ Con- nor, Richardson, Sheahan—10. Noes—Messrs, Bartholdt, Bosley, Cudmore, Knight, Macklin, Reimler, Rogers, Troll, Auler—9. Mr. Brady, in casting his ballot, explained that he did not agree with the Election Com- mittee. His action was a surprise to the Aulerites. WILL BE TAKEN INTO THE COURTS. The result of the meeting last night will be to throw the contest into the courts. Mr. Hugo Muench, attorney for Dr. Standing, has stated frequently that in casethe Board re- fused to recognize Dr. Standing’s claims he would begin proceedings in the courts, and he now proposes to do so. A writ of quo — wili probably be asked for ina few ays. „The citizens of North St. Louis will not submit to any such outrageous action as the lillerites have taken. said Director Bart- oldt this morning. It has been sbown learly that Mr. Kelly bolds his seat through unmistakabie fraud and he will not be allowed to retain it as long as there is any recourse left. I feel just as cer- tain as Iam of my. existence that when the fraud, which those boxes disclosed, is shown tothe court, Dr, Standing will be seated at once. „Was not Mr. Bollman’s conduct a great surprise to you?’’ No, not entirely. and he has my sympathy.’ Strange to say, there was very little anger manifested against Bollman by the Aulerites for his action in leaving them in the lurch. Whatever they may have felt, none were found who expressed anything but pity tor bim. They harbored more resentment against Brady. The language used by several of the mem- bers of the board last night issaid by those present to have been the most violent and dis- raceful ever heard in the board room. Haoklin was especially bitter, and his denunol- He les a very weak man, * ation of Director O'Connell and Peter P. Dailey | was of such a nature that all present expeeted an assault after the meeting. that the Millerites had achieved a victory probably prevented, it. Since they had won they could afford to let a good many things ase on the grounds that it was natural that undue bitterness should have been shown under the circumstances. They felt jubilant over the fact that Boliman had deserted his friends aud Brady had come back into the fold. They confidently expect to be able to reorganize the board atthe second next reg- ular meeting by re-electing Chas, F. Miller as President and John W. O’Connell as Vice- President.

One reason for the advance there is that the Bank of Bengal, Caicutta, rate of interest is 12 per cent. 48 this bank occupies a corresponding position to that of the Bank of England this high rate bas animportant influence upon the silver market. The rupee being in active demand this partly accounts for the recent heavy shipments of silver from bere to London, the average of which has been about 800 , 000 ounces per week for some time past. Sliver has been steadily declining since 1873, when the price in London was nearly 60d. Since then the fall has been gradual, until recently it touched 40d, the chief cause of the depression being the accu- mulation in the United Stutes. At 60d per ounce sliver is on a par with gold at a ratio of sixteen partsof silver to oneof gold. This price is equivalent to 129 cents per ounce here, our silver being 1,000 fine. The United States Government now holds $308,000,000, against which silver certificates are outstanding for all excepting $16,000,000, which latter amount can be put into circulation. As it is not un- likely that Congress will at least increase the compulsory colnage $2,000,000 per month to $4,500,000, the last igure would about absorb this country’s entire product of silver. Fora long period the price of silver bullion certificates has nominally ruled at 96 on the Stock Exchange: but owing to the export de mand and prospective legislation od yh uy has within afew days advanced beyond 102. Speculation, however, is restricted by the smallavailabie supply outside of the Treas- ury. Ifthe silver bill be passed and exports consequently stopped the — sete hy be to transfer control ofthe silver market to New York. This will certainly be favorable to Awericen interests, forthe aim of England is invariably to depress silver in order to cheapen the cost of making the rupee, which, whetber composed of silver bought at 40d or 60d, buys in India the same amount of wheat and other products.

Mayor Noonan has prepared a letter which he intends to send to Senators Vest and Cockrell and Congressmen Frank, Niedring- haus and Kinsey, urging that they make a united effort to secure an appropriation ofat least a million dollars for Jefferson Barracks. The appropriations made for the barracks in past years have been in the neighborhood of $200,000. The Mayor holds that the bar- racks is one of the principal war department stations in the country, and that its appropri- uations should be measured accordingly. Speaking toa Posr-DISTATCH reporter this morning be said it was a matter that should receive the attention of the Merchants’ Exchange. „»The supplies for thé barracks ought to be bought here,’’ he said, ‘‘on account of its close proximity tothe city and a movement should be inaugurated to give it all the funds it requires. This would redound to the bene- fit ofthe city and particularly to the mer- chants. Harbor Commissioner Murpby will be asked to give his attention to this subject when hegoesto Washington to secure more liberal appropriations for the improvement of the river and the loca! barbor.’’ Ready Money at City Hall. Comptroller Stevenson and City Counsellor Bell are becoming very impatient over the delay of the architects who secured the $5,000 prize for the best plan for the new City Hall in presenting plans to the Board of Public Im- rovements so that bids can be advertised or aud a letting bad for the foundation work of the new building. The money is appro- priated uncer special ordinance and is await- ing the action of the board and of the City Hall Commission. Counselor Bell saidthis morning that he did not know the cause of the delay. ‘‘The money is ready for the foundation work. he said, and when tne — are ready the board will advertise for bids. The successful architects, Messrs. Eckel & Mann of St. Jo- seph, will, I presume, locate an office here to superintend the construction of the new municipal building, but if they have taken any steps in that direction 1 have not yet been informed.’’ The opinion is generally expressed about the City Hall that the architects who captured the prize and the contract are proceeding very slowly and that something ought to be done to accelerate their motion. This is the season for commencing big buildings, and builders say the work should have been started weeks ago. Public Improvements. The Board of Publie Improvement met this morning and devoted some time to a discus- sion of some necessary street improvements. Commissioner Burnet recommended that the east side of Twelfth street between St. Charles and Washington avenue be paved with granitoid. An ordinance was recom- mended to the Assembly to widen Delmar avenue between Taylor avenue and King’s highway bythe addition of 20 feet, with the understanding that the Interested property owners will pay the necessary legal expenses, estimated at $1,000. The suggestion that McPherson avenue and Westminster place, between Kingis highway and Walton avenue, be Vacated 30 as to straighten out the streets which run irregularly in that section of the city was the subject of some discussion it the interested property owners in that section are willing an ordinance vacating the streets will very probably be recommended to the As- sembly.

This happy result is due to the little paragraph that appeared in the Sunday issue of the POST -DISPATCH, which stated that the ‘*Noo- nan Starlights,’’ a base- ball club composed of boys, had organized, and would accept all challenges addressed to the captain, Willie P. Baggot. The names of the players were given, one of whom was J. O’Brien, the second baseman. Several days after the an- nouncement of the „Starlights“ appearance in the base ball arena, young Baggot received a letter from a small town in Saline County, Missouri, signed by Dan O’Brien, asking him if the second bas@man’s Christian name was Jerry. He ex- lained that he had been trying to find his rother and other relatives for many years, but without success. His Parents had died when he was very young, and he was then placed in St. Joseph's Asylum, where he remained until! 1876, when he was taken out by a man named Daniel Black and put to work at his place in Mar- shall, Mo. Young Baggot took an interest in the matter,and several! letters passed between himselfand Young O’Brien. He ascertained that the second baseman was not the O’ Brien wanted, but this did not put a check on his efferts to locate his correspondept’s relatives. He got his father, Mr. Ed Baggot, interested in the matter, and that gentleman visited the as ylum and examined the records. He learned that O’Brien’s Christian name was given on the books as Herman O’Brien. He also ascer- tained that he was taken out by Mr. Black and was called Dan by him for the reason that it was more consistent withthe surname tban Herman. At the Or- phan Asylum at the same time was a boy named Jerry O’Brien, whom he had been ied to believe was his brother. Mr. Baggot con- tinued writing to the youth until he learned something about him and his recollections of his relatives which, however, were rather dim. O’Brien wrote him that he had a sister whom he thought had married aman named Riley and that he aleo had an uncle named O’Brien, who was connected with the police force years ago,and Mr. Baggot looked up the O’Brienson the force and ascertained that Officer Dan O’Brien of the Third District was the boy’suncle. The latter was overjoyed at the news and told Mr. Baggot that Mrs. Riley and himself had been trying for years, but without success to find their young rela- tive. They have made arrangements to bring him here, and a happy reunion will then take place, Mrs. Riley lives at Ca ira, III., and will come here to meet the brother, from whom she has been so long separated.

THE INDIANS TIRED OF THE “£VERLAST- ING COMMISSION.” ¥&-Chief Bushyhead Expresses Himself Plainly—Western Men Wanted to Nego- tiate With the Cherokees—The Scheme of Government Warehouses for Farm Prod- uce—House Republican Caucus Com- mittee—- Washington News. By Pelearavh to the Posr-Dmraron. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Among the prominent Cherokees who are remaining here in Washington to watch the interest of that people is ex-Chief Bushyhead, who expressed himself quite freely to your correspondent this morning regarding what is tending to be- come an everlasting commission—the Cher- okee Commission. Chief Bushyhead stated that, In his opinion, the whole commission as It now Is, from Chairman to Secretary, should be wiped out and new, active, practical West- ern men selected forthe places by the Presi- dent. The Chief expressed it as his opinion that, with the existing fric- tion among his people and the result of the present commission’s action nothing satisfactory can be accomp- lished. In his belief the wrong kind of ma- terlal is selected to carry out the deal with the Indians. Eastern men selected for the work go tothe Indian Territory cherishing the idea that they are to meet with a tribe of wild, blanket Indians, when they find as shre wa and intelligent men as themselves. Such men as Gov. Throckmorton of Texas, he thought, would soon accomplish the work to the satis- faction of all. It is the Chief’s intention tocall on the President and express these sentiments. For some months past it was believed here by ali interested inthe World’s Fair matter that Senator Vest, when the time came, would oppose the bill in the Senate on Constigitional groundsif anything inthe wayof Govern- mental appropriation was asked. His terrific broadside of sarcasm delivered against Chi- cago yesterday is regardeg as an attempt to geteven with the Chicago newspaper reporter who mjsrepresented him Tn saying that the Senator compared Chicago and hades. Assistant Postmaster-General Clarkson has an athletic, intelligent son who has entered Harvard. The young gentieman iy required by the institution to give bond for the good care of his room thereand its contents. The General signed as one of hjs hondsmen and told the principal that he must go out and se- cure a second himself. In obedience to his father’s directions the young student, a stranger at the capital, wentg@p to the White House and returned to his practical father with the signature of Benj. Harrison, at- torney at law, Indianapolis,’’ to make up the wanting bondsman. House Republican Caucus Committee. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—The House Republican Caucus Committee, in pursuance ofthe resolution of caucus last night, will hola a meeting this afternoon in the further- ance of the endeavor to come to an agreement with the Repubii- can Caucus Committee. The latter commit- tee will probobly meet some time in the after- noon, asthey look upon the action of the House caucus last night as an invitation to resume negotiations. Some of the Senate Committee are in favor of passing the Jones’ bill without regard tothe action of the House and, if the latter passes a bill of differing pro- visions, will let the matter be settled by a conference committee. . The silver men are in good spirits this morn- ing over the results of the Republican House Caucus Committee last night, and claim a substantial victory. It appears that the feeling ran pretty high at times, the mem- bers of the Caucus Committee taking the lead- ing part of the discussion. Representative Henderson of Iowa was for the Senate bill as a whole, but insisted upon unity of action between the two houses at any cost. Repre- sentative Cannon of Illinois was willing to make any concession upon immaterial points to please his constituents, but he would re- tuse to do anything which he knew was not right and inthe interest of sound finances to save his seat in the House. Representative Hopkins of Illinois favored a conservative course and his views were in har- mony with those the Adm in- istration, as said. Represent- ative McKinley of Ohio, who earlier in the evening had strongly advocated the adoption of the reportof the caucus committee, later said that as far at he was concerned he would vote for either ot the dills— House or Senate if tle caucus should agree upon one. Warehouses for Farm Produce. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—The Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry to-day had under consideration Senator Vance’s bill to provide for a system of warehouses fol farm produce throughont the country, to be operated by the Government, which is to issne its notes upon deposits of grain therein. Col. Polk, President of the National Farmers’ Alliance, read a long argument in support of the measure, which he said was formulated by the committee appointed for that purpose by the convention of the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Alliance, held in St. Louis December 8, 1889. He sketched the decline in agricultural vaiues in the face of marvelous progress and development of other industries and interests during the past twodecades, and insisted that something should be done for the farmer. He charged the fault upon the financial sys: tem of the Government, which bad resulted in high-priced and low- riced products. Col. Polk suggested, a three - fold: 1. Restore silver to its dignity and place as a money metal with allthe rights of coinage and all the qualities of legal tender which gold possesses. 2. Issue suflicient amounts of currency direct to the people ata low rate of interest, to meet the legitimate demands of the business of the country and which shall be legai tender for all debts, public and pri- vate. 3. Secure to such issues equal dignity with the money metals by basing it on real, tangible, substantial values. Col. Polk was followed by C. C. McCune, Chairman of the Nationa’ Committee on Log- isiation of the AMiliance, who addressed him - self more particularly to the merits and de- tails of the system of warehouses as outlined in the bill. e asserted that the merchandise thus stored would not deteriorate below mar- ket standard, and that the system had proved feasible and practicable in California, where the Grangers’ Bank in 1889 loaned $3,000,000 on certificates issued to farmers On wheat depos- ited in warehouses owned and controlled by them. : — Kincaid Bailed Ont.

C., April 22.—The House Committee on Commerce to-day considered the request ofthe commercial travelers tnat combined railroad systems be authorized to issue mileage tickets. The matter was re ferret to a sub-committee for further con- sideration, It seems to pe the opinion of the committee that railroads already have the authority to grant mil tickets over other roads. he committee arranged to give a hearing to parties jnterested in the proposed changes in the interstate commerce lav, on the 20thinst. At that time they propose to close the hearings on the subject. Petitions From Migsourians. By Telegraph to the PoOst-DISPATCH. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22.—Senator Vest | to-day presented a petition signed by a num- ber of citizens of Excelsior Springs, Mo., praying for a free coinage of silver, Con- gressman Dockery @bmitted to the House ta- day a petition from citizens of Macon County, Missouri, opposing demonetization of silver.

C., April 22.—The President to-day sent to the Senate the following nom- inations: JOHN C. FREMONT of New York, to be a Major General, United States Army, on the retired list. JOHN T. ExsoR, United States Attorney for the district of Maryland. WM. FAIREY, United States Marshal for the District of Maryland. a _ — FIETY-FIRST CONGRESS. The Senate.

Among the bills reported and placed on the calendar was one for the relief of the South- ern Exposition at Louisville. On motion of Mr. Harris the vote by which a bill was passed last Saturday providing a site forthe Supreme Court buliding was re- considered, and the bill was amended by zgiv- ing the Supreme Court of the District power to hear testimony in contested cases of valu- ation and, amended, it was again passed. Mr. Cockrell offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the Superintendent of the Census to communpnicate to the Senate the forms of the rules and regulations adopted by him for obtaining statistics as to farm mort gages. Mr. Plumb’s resolution, heretotore offered, for the increase of the Treasury purchase and coinage of silver was presented, and Mr, Eustis moved, as an addition to it, a further resolution that the free coinage of siiver is essential to a sound financial policy and is demanded by all the great interests of the country, and that, therefore, all laWs limiting the coinage of silver ougkt te be repealed. Mr. Plumb consented to let the resolution lie over for the present, so as to give Mr. Mitchell an opportunity to address the Senate. 2 The House, WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2:2 — Mr. Dingley of Maine, from the Committee on Ways and Means, reported a bill providing for the claas- ification of worsted cloths aa woolen.

POOR WIDOW THAYER, An Alleged Insurance Solicitor Marries and Rebs Her. : Fy Telegraph to the Post-DIsPaTcu. MonsEY, N. Y., April 22.—A man from the métropolis invaded this quiet mountain vil- lage two years ago and cut out all the country swains who were trying to win the hand of pretty little Widow Thayer. The man called himself John Russell and said he represented a big life insurance company. He passed asa single man, and his good looks and engaging manners won for him a warm piace in the heartof Mrs. Thayer. She is the widow of Charles Thayer of the firm of Campbell & Thayer, Maiden lane, New York. Mrs. Thayer was a Brooklyn girl before she became an old man’s darling and moved to Monsey. Mr. Thayer died six years ago, leav- ing her an income of something over a thou- sand @ year and a comfortable home. She is between 35 and 40 years of age now, but she is still very pretty. During the past two years of her widowbood Mrs. Thayer was very happy in her new dream of love, but there has come arude awakening. The man of her choice has disappeared, and she is suffering from a compound fracture of the heart. There is a sore spot in her bosom and room to rent in her purse. John Russell had asked Mrs. Thayer to wed him, and she had consented. Quite recently Russell induced her to draw monev she had om deposit in various banks and place it for safe-keeping in a lump sum in the Excelsior Savings Bank in Twenty-third street, New York. He went tothe bank with ber and wrote his name on its register besides hers “so that eitber could draw the money at a saving ot time and trouble.“ She had de- cided to buy a new cottage in Monsey of Fred- erick Houghton and $1,300 of this lump sum were to be paid for it. That was on April 10. When John parted from the widow he tola her that he was going to get a lawyer to search the titiesto the cottage. She neversaw hiin again, but she got a telegram from him on April 12 stating that he would call to see her on the lith. On the 15th she got another telegram stating that the visit would have to be deferred until the 15th. On the 15th she got a letter from him in which he told her he was going away to Cali!- fornia forever; that he loved her but did not like her friends, and concluded by requesting her not to say anything about the money be- longing to her which he had taken, as ‘‘folks would only laugh’’ at her if she did. Upon investigation Mrs. Thayer found fhat John had drawn all her money from the Twenty- tnird Street Bank. She also learned that his true name was McDermott; that he was a married man and has a son 13 years old. She has requested Inspector Byrnes of New York to find Russell or McDermott and punish him.

MILLS & AVERILL, S. E. Cor. Broadway and Pine. WILL CAUSE TROUBLE, Ex-Treasurers of Chicago to Be Sued for Large Sums. CuHIcAGO, III., April 22.—The City Counchͤ last night adopted a resolution which will cause the gentlemen who have officiated as treasurers of the city during the past ten vears some trouble. In a message to the Council, some time ago, Mayor Cregier stated that for years past the city funds have been kept on deposit in one or more banks selected by the Treasurer and drawing interest u mousting to a large sum annually, which sum has been retained by the Treas- ure as a personal emolament with out the sanction of law and con- trary to sound public policy. The Finance Committee last night reported a resolution directing the corporation counsel to bring suit upon the official bonds of each and every City Treasurer who has occupied that office during the last ten years, to the end that such „personal emolument so retained, by said treasurers, without the sanction of law and contrary to sound public policy, shall be re- covered from the said treasurers and from thoir sureties and turned into the Treasury of te city of Chicago, where said interest right- fully belongs. The amount of interest which has been pocketed by the city treasurers for years ast is estimated all the way from $50,000 to 0,000 yearly. $50,000 in Presents. Handsome clocks with every suit at $10 and above, anch we don’t save you $2.50 to $5.00 besides don’t buy of us. GLOBE, 705 to 713 Franklin av. THE EVILS OF DISSIPATION. A Yeung Man of Geod Family £quanders His Meney and Suicides. I+ Telegraph to the POsST-DISPATCH. KirnosTonr, N. V., April 22.—Eli Van Aken, a wellkpown young man of this town, was found dead in this city in bis bed yesterday morning. It is thought his death was due to morphine. The young man’s death isa sad commentary upon the evils of dissipation. Elias Van Ostrand, a grandfather of the de- ceased, died some twelve years ago, leaving a fortune of over $100,000 to his chi- dren, one of whom wes Mrs. Albert Van Aken, Eli’s mother. At her death she left her property to Eli’s sister. Shortly after getting control of his money) young Van Aken, who had formerly been a young man of good habits, began to keep bad company and become a prey for gamblers and women of bad character. ventiy Van Aken has been attentive toa IN woman named Mamle Wilmott. He made her mnay gifts, and frequently took her off on brief trips. Within afew days he became jealous of ber on account of a supposed rivai, and “Sunday night he and the girl had a disagreement and Eli left her.

Well That Is What It Is, As Is Fully Explained Below. Cut It Ont and On it Put Your Estimate of the Vote the Winning Lady Teacher Will Receive in the Popular Election— If You Come Nearest the Figure, You Will Go to Eurepe for Two Months This Summer as the Guest of the ‘Pest-Dispatch’’— Terms of the Guessing Match—Sead Them and Guess at Once. Anticipating that the number of guesses’ would be very large each day, it was deter- mined at the beginning of the guessers’ con- test not to print names or numbers guessed.. The wisdom of this course has been fuliy proven, for otherwise nearly a page would have to be given each day to such matter, 80 numerous are the guesses. Bundles and basketsful are received morning and evening. All day long there is a rain of envelopes on the marble counter of the business office of the Post- DISPATCH. Every mail brings an inquiry from some one Ike this: I mail to you my guess on the teachers’ vote. Please inform me tbrough the PoOsT-DISPATCH if my guess was re- ceived.’’ To answer all of these inquiries would be almost equivalent to printing the entire list of guessers. That cannot be done. But the assurance has been given and is here repeated that every properly filled out coupon sent to this peper, addressed as fol- lows: ‘ GUESS ON TEACHERS’ CONTEST, POST-DISPATCAH, ST. LOUIS, MO. is received, mechanically numbered in the order of its receipt and filed, Your estimate of the number of votes the highest candidate in the teachers’ contest will receive should be plainly written inthe white space of the coupon that is surrounded by scroll work,and your full name and address should be plainly written In the spaces indicated on the coupon. When care is taken in the preparation and transmission of coupons there can be no doubt of their orderly filing and proper con- sideration. No guesses will be considered at all unless they are written on the official coupon which will be printed in every issue of the Posr- DIS - PATCH except that of Sunday. The prize will goto the person who is the first to file a coupon bearing the number of ballots the highest candidate in the teachers’ contest will have at the close of balloting. The guessing coupons are numbered consecutively on their receipt to determine—should there be two correct guesses—which one was filed earliest. It may be that no one will guess the correct number. Then the prize will go to the person who guesses nearest the correct num ber. You may guess as often as you have coupons torecord your estimateson. Every coupon you send in increases your chances of winning. None but employes of the PoOst-DISPATCH are barred from this contest. Even the teachers may enter it, and should either of the winners in the teachers’ contest win the guessers’ prize she would be at liberty to name any person she chose to accompany heron the European tour. Any person who wins the guessers’ prize can transfer it to any relative or friend she may chose. The successful guesser will go to Europe under the guidance of Cook’s Tourist Co. at the expense ofthe POST-DISPATCH. The tour will occupy nearly two months, and the tour- ists will de shown every object and place of Interest under the most favorable circum- stances. The winners in the teachers’ con- test and the successful guesser may go to- gether or separately, as they may wish. This contest began on Monday, April 14, and will close at 10:30 o’clock Saturday night, May 24. The vote of the teachers will be ascer- tained by the official recount, which will be completed in the week following, and on Sun- day, June 1, the winners in the teachers“ con- test and the winners in the guessing contest will be announced.

ASSAULTED BY OFFICERS. THE STORY OF BRUTALITY TOLD BY JAMES CLIVERS AND THOMAS HOOLAN.- They Testify in the Becond District Police Court This Morning That They Were Beaton Severely by Policemen Callahan and Newman Saturday Night Without Any Cause—The Defendants Dismissed by Judge Anderson and They Will Com- mence Action Against Their Assailants, „James Clivers and Thomas Hoolan,’’ called the Deputy Marshal at the Second Dis- trict Police Court. Two young men answered and took their seats in the prisoners’ dock. Clivers had his head bound up witha handkerchief, which hid from view a number of ugly cuts. His eye was swelled until it seemed to be bursting from its socket, and it appeared to de swim- ming in blood because of the inflammation. The other prisoner, Thomas Hoolan, was a keen-looking young man of respectable ap- pearance, as was also Clivers. Officer Uallahan took the stand and testified that he had assisted in the arrest of the young men on Saturday night. He said they were creatinga d rbance on the sidewalk near Cook’s saloon, on St. Louls avenue and Thir- teenth street, and that hearing the noise they ran in and caught them. Officer Newman testified that he had assisted Callahan in the arrest, and told the same story as the other officer. He said the young men were in the habit of using profane and vile language around that corner and that they had been watching them for som time. Thomas Hoolan then took the stand and told his story. Hesaid he wasin Cook’s saloon with several others, and at midoight the proprietor said he was going to close up. He was half asleep in a chair, and was led out ‘the back door by Cook. He lives in the same yard, and was going over to his room which was but a few steps away. Clivers came out after him, and they were walking across the yard together when de saw Clivers fall from a blow struek from be- hind, ‘‘lturned around,’’ he said, and al- most at the same instant was knocked down by a policeman’sciub. Itried to get up and was promptly knocked down again and then lay on the ground. Isaw Clivers treated iu a similar manner and heard the officer order him to get up. Every time Olivers would try to rise he would be knocked down again until the blood flowed from his head, when the officer heid Clivers up by the collar and beat a lively tattoo on his head and shoulders until he cried out with the pain whereon the oflicer clubbed him to make him keep quiet. ihe officer who had charge of me, was also employing similar tactics. We were taken tothe station-house, where we were locked up. Some friends went to the station with us and bailed us out, so we were not compelled to pass the night in jall.’’ Clivers took the stand and told his story. He said he was in the saloon that evening for the Urst time. The proprietor told them that he was going to close up, and they started out. Hoolan was sitting in achalr half asleep, a1 though not intoxicated, and the saloonk er took him by the arm and led him out the back door. followed them and was walking across the yard with Hoolan, when suddenly he was kuocked down and saw Hoolan fall at the same time. A po- lice officer stood over him, he said, waving bia club and swearing at him, and told him to get up and come along.

They =~ were Thomas Shells and Wm. P. Clark, ons time President ot the Board of Aldermenan@ | tor one day Mayor of the city. Lawyer F. J. 2 md — es . ea Dupienac served District Attorney Fellows oid several days ago with the statutory notice — that he would move before Recorder Smyth ing Part II. of the General Sessions for the dis- a missal of the indictment for bribery found 2 against Shell in April, 1886, for lack of prose- eution. Col. Fellows thereupon indorsed the indictment as followa; 32 The defendant was not one of the thirteen whe a constituted what has been called ‘‘the comi-iue’’ the Aldermanic Board of 1884. and against each all who were not of that combine“ there has never . been evidence sufficient to justify the ypople in mov- ing the cases. Upon the motion of District Attorney Fel- lows therefore yesterday Recorder Smyth d- missed the indictment aud discharged them. Ex-Senator Grady took a course similar to Lawyer Dupignac in behalf ot ex-Alderman Kirk and Col. Fellows indorsed the Indictment against Kirk: The incictment should be dismissed. There was insufficient evidence to justify its findings, so far as the records disclose. The defendant was not a mem- ber of the combination which met at McLaughlin's house, nor was he present at the early morning meete ing of the Board of Aldermen of 1884. The people cannot trv this indictment. Mr. Grady submitted an affidavit from Kirk, describiug his arrest in 1886 and his being held in $25,000 bail. On October 7, 1886, he went on to say, he appeared in courtfortrial. It was on that day arranged that the case of ex- Alderman Henry Sayles should be called first, and that the-trials of ex- Aldermen Farley and Miller should follow, and then his (Kirk’s) trial should be proceeded with. But Sayles forfeited his bail and was never tried. There- upon his (Kirk's) bail, and the ball of the other Aldermen of 1884, who had not qultted the State, was increased to $40,000. Neither bis trial por that of Farley or Miller was pro- ceeded with, but instead ex- Aldermen Francis McCabe, Arthur J. McQuade, John O'Neil and Thomas Cleary tried 4 d been 18 The evide no effort had since to try bim (Kirk). iu the Aldermanic trials, Kirk further avers, in no way involved him. He denied every al- legation in the indictment against him. The only witness against Kirk before the grand-. jury was Waite. Mr. Grady makes affidavit that in October, 1888, he met Waite in San Francisco, and Waite clays told him that he knew nothing about Kirk having any- mine to do with the Broadway bribery. Judge Cowing dismissed the indictment against Kirk also. The next alderman of 1884 who will seek release, it is said, is Henry Sayles, who jumped his ball on the evening of trial and fled to Canada. His bondsman was his brother, Sol Sayles, a wealthy butcher of Jefferson Market, and be was compelled to pay $25,000 into the city treasury. He has eon hankering afterthis money ever since, and it is understood he 2 * = - > * aa 7 * propeses, in the new éral Sessions building a good deal of late, and it is averred that his brother Henry is waiting anxiously to see whether he will be prose- cuted if he returns from Canada; or whether. bis return will help his brother Sol in his ef- fort to get back that 328, 000 or any part of it.

« Ae FTF a Few Het Rounds at Chicago— * . i IE EVADES A MATCH BETWEEN BELL ' ‘HAMLIN AND ROSALIND WILKES. —- Australian Murphy and Tommy White The Browns Drop Ancther Game at 5 2 Loulsville—President Phelps Issues & Circular on Umpires—A Purse for Salli- tea 4 van and Jacksen—Sperting News. dy Telegraphyte the Foer- Der eros. NEw YORK, April 22. OME time has elapsed since Sire Bros. of this city took up the gauntiet flung down y by Cicero J. Hamlin of Buffalo in behalf of his mare, Belle Ham- lin, the champion of the Almont family of trotters, but the owner of Village Farm has not accepted the prop- bo osition to mateh Ros- alnd Wiikes against his mare, best three in five heats, fora good stake, the race to be trotted before the Grand Circuit. H. B. Sire said yesterday in reference to this matter that they had a letter from Mr. Hamlin, in which he objected to having the match so early and be now seems disinclined to do battie after the chip has beem knocked from his shoulder. „0. J. Hamlin is as shrewd at making matches for his horses as he is at rolling up millions,’’ remarked a trotting turfite in dis- cussing the offer of Sire Bros., and he has for two years managed to get up a big sensa- tion for the Grand Circuit meeting at his track by matching Belle Hamlin against Clingstone one time and Harry Wiikes another. Neither of these events amounted to anything except to draw the crowd and I suppose he wants to repeat the performance this season. His re- luctance to go against Rosalind Wilkes before the circuit is in a measure due to his desire to boom the summer meeting, a very good thing itself, but he should not declare that he will match Belle Hamlin against all comers and then fail to accept an offer such as has been made.’’ Belle Hamlin, though very fast, is not what horsemen call dead game,’’ and it looks as if her owner wanted to get her training ad- vanced a little before he invests any money in backing his opinion of her ability. He was not afraid to trot against the veteran Harry Wilkes on two occasions last year, and Sire Bros. feels that heshould meet them again and give them a chance to get even. Vas is jos mit Belle Hamlin?’’ — „Lucky“ Baldwin 's Racers. CHICAGO, III., April 22.—‘‘Lucky’’ Baldwin’s Btring of race horses reached Chicago from San Francisco Sunday night in charge of Trainer Robert E. Campbell. They are rest- ing here and will be shipped in a day or two to Brooklyn, where the Santa Anita atable opens tne season. Campbell started from home with thirteen racers, but Ensenada, by Gano or Rutherford—Aritta, was taken sick at Aibn- querque and left there. The others that will carry the black, with Maltese cross, this year are: Los Angeles 5, ch. m. by Glenelg—LaPolka; Ganymede 4, b. e. by Grinstead—Jennie B.; Honduras 3, oh. e. by Grinstead— Jennie B.

Ocelita 2, b. f. by Norfolk—Mollie McGurn. Los Angeles is expected to do more wonder- ful things this season. She 1s in fine condi- tion. The 3-year-olds are the best at Santa Anita; having been selected for thecampaign from a score or more. The 2-year-olds are small for horses raised in California, but Campbell says they are as fine alot as ever started out irom the tamous ranch. Ensenada will rejointhe string which will come West again to participate inthe Wash ington Park meeting. Volante came with the Others, but was sent to Kentucky yesterday, having been purchased on the coast during the winter by Nick Finzer. Great Metropolitan Handicap. Loypow, April 22.—The race for the great Metropolitan Handicap stakes at the Epsom spring meeting to-day was won by the Duke of Beaufort’s 38-vear-old brown colt, Parling- ton.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aprii 22.—President Phelps ofthe American Association has issued the following circalar: LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 21.—The attention of the umpires of the American Association is called to the provisions contained in the rules of the American Association which prohibit captains and players ofthe various clubs from disputing or questioning the decisions of the umpires, and the umpiresare directed not to allow players or captains from either of the contesting clubs to come in from their posi- tions to argue with him or dispute concern- ing any decision made 7 him. The umpires will hereafter notify the captains of both clubs before play begins that this ‘rule will be strictly enforced, and whenever any player or captain starts in from his position to dispute or question any decision of the um- pire, be will be warned by the umpire not to come in, and if he insists upon violating this rule the umpire will enforce the penalties provided in such cases. This babit of aliow- ing playersto argue with the umpire con- cerning decisions which he has made and which he cannot change, goes very far toward creating disurder upon the ground and dis- satisfaction among the spectators, and I there- fore insist that the laws on this subject be strictly enforced. I beg leave to assure umpires that I will see that they are sustained in their actions taken in pursuance of the directions herein given. ZACK PHELPS, Vresident American Association.

The pro- grammethat was printed on Sunday has been carefully selected. It contains gems from Beethoven, Mozart, Fr. Chopin, Liszt, and Joachim Raff. Von Bulow is an acknowledged master of the piano, a his coming is looked upon by musical péople as an event to be long re- membered. Thesale of seats has been very large. There are very few left in Entertain- ment Hall. The concert wae first announced for Music Hall. Later, Von Bulow objected to the size of the hall, as be feared he could not do himself justice in so large an auditorium. He would not listen to the suggestion that the large hall contained seats enough to supply the demand and that the profits would con- sequentiy be much larger. He simply said he would not play in Music Hall, as he thought it entirely too large for a piano. When Von Bulow said this he meant it, and the change had to be made. Theresult will probably be . very crowded as well as a very critical ouse. Sarasate—D’ Aibert. The Sarasate-D’ Albert concerts to be given on Thuraday evening and at the Saturday matinee bid fair to outdo in artistic effort, any musicalevent for years. Pabeso de Sar- asate is without question the most brilliant violinist living, and except Joachim no one can be compared to him. D’Albert is the oungest ofthe trio of great pianists, and tubinstein gives his true place by the remark uttered in St. Petersburgh in 1888. ‘‘Oh, youth is everything, D’Albert isthe greatest of us all, for he begins. where we leave off. The ro- gramme for Thursday evening is interesting. Herr D’ Albert opens the concert by playing the Beethoven Sonata, Op. 53. This work is the most interesting and probably the brightest of all the Beethoven sonatas. The Allegro con brio’’ is particularly interesting, and while it does not bristie with the difficulties of the later movement it requires a depth of ex- pression that makes of this work a test plece for any player. The solos for D’ Albert later in the evening may be called the confection of the whole entertainment. The Chopin Ber- ceuse, Op. 57, is said to be D’Albert’s best effort. It requires a peculiarly ideal sort of interpretation, and D’Aloert is said to be superb in allof his Chopin selections. His technical perfection, and that portion of his Playing is said to be beyond all other pianists, will be shown in the _ tran- scription of Strauss’ Waltz by Tausig, Man lebt nur einmal,’’ and in Liszt’s **Tarantalla.’’ Sarasate will play with Mme. Marx, another great pianist, the Beethoven Kreutzer“ sonata, a work that requires per- fect balance and understanding between the two instrumentalists. The two artiste will also play together Raff's wonderfully delicate ‘*Liebesfee’’ (the fairy of love). And as the plece de resistance Sarasate will play as a solo his fantasie on airs from Faust, which, it is said, no other violinist living would dare to attempt. The concerts are attracting much attention. The music is not too profound and although it is pure gold throughout, and played as Sarasate and D' Albert play it, it must be a pleasure to all. Atthe Theaters. Kate Claxten, Charles Stevenson and their compary gave a much better performance of The Two Orphans’’ last night than on Sun- day. The house was larger ana the effect on the company noticeably good. W. J. Scanlan, at the Olympio, seems to be started on one of the most successful seasons he has ever known here. He has several new songs and all the old ones, and Myles Aroon, his new play, pleases his audiences thoroughly. Josie Loane, the soubrette, in her new piay, Monte of Montana, is playing to godd business at Pope’s. Under the Lash, with W. F. Sandford in the leading role is drawing well at the Stand- ard. The additional work of putting on Ben My Chree with its beautiful scenery at the Olym- pic Theatre Monday evening, 28th inst., on the occasion of the benefit of the St. Louis Press Club, will make it necessary for Mr. Wilson Barrett to take aspecial train from Washington to this city. All arrangements for this have already been made. The train will leave Washington at 1 a. m. Sunday morning, arriving in 8t. Louls on Monday morning. Mr. Barrettandhis company will be met on the road by a small delegation of St. Loulsans. The new play which caused such a stir in Boston will be put on next Monday evening in handsome style.

The tax cases against certain School Direct- ors, which have been hanging fire so long in the Court of Appeals, were brought to trial to-day. It was hoped by the respondents in the cases and their attorneys that the Supreme Court would haye issued a writ prohibiting the Court of Appeals from proceeding in these cases or that it would have passed on the Drabelle law before this day. As the Supreme Court did not act either way, the Court of Ap- peals this morning proceeded to business. Judge Rombauer called the case of the State @gainst Oscar Bollman. Mr. Muench, his attorney, said the case would be submitted on evidence to be taken under a stipulation which he filed with the clerk. The evidence will show that Mr. Boliman is a member of the firm of Bollman & Sons, which firm has been paying taxes to both school, city and State for years, and as a member of such firm he has paid a school tax. for two succesive years preceding his election. Judge Rombauer accepted the case as submitted. The next case was that of William Macklin. Attorney F.M.Estes saidjhe understood that Mr. Macklin’s case was set at the bottom of thé list of cases to be tried, and for that reason had not summoned his witnesses for trial. Neither Macklin nor his principal witness, Henry L. Rogers, were in court. Mr. Estes in a mild way attempted to remind the court that in go- ing to trial om these cases it was opposing a writ isgued by a Judge of the Supreme Court, but as be understood the court to say it would not pass on the cases until the Supreme Court had passed on the law he would go to trial with his clients. As we havesaid before, and in ‘language that cannot mislead, we cannot recognize the authority of an individual member of the 8u- preme Court, said Judge Rombauer. We will proceed with these cases the same as if there never had been an order issued.’’ But still, Your Honor, replied Mr. Es- tes, ‘‘you will not decide these cases until the Supreme Court passes on the law. „We do not say that, answered Judge Rombauer. ‘‘We will not wait until the Su- preme Court decides upon the constitutlon- ality but will give it ample time to doso before we render any decision.’’ The Supreme Court may adjourn for the summer,’’ remarked Mr. Estes. It will hardly do so before deciding on the Case submitted to it when it is aware that a If you do not want tog trial we will take up the case of August Reimier.’’ REIMLER’S CASE ON TRIAL.

Mr. Camp- bell asked him to tell the story of the sale. He said he sold some real estate in Baden more than a year ago and loaned he proceeds, $38,000, through Attorney Leo Rassieur to a Mr. Ittner, receiving a deed of trust on real estate on Park avenue as secur- ity. Later he wished to buya lot of ground in Vine Grove place. He borrowed $1,000 and bought the property from Miss Kate Stanley. Just deal was A proposition was made to him to the effect that he sell the property to August Reimier for a short time, as Mr. Reimler wished to qualify for the position of School Board Director, and if he would agree to this Mr. Reimler would pay the taxes of 1888 and 1889,d ue on the property. and interest from the day of sale on $1,000 until the property was returned. He and Mrs. Conroy agreed to this, and the deeds were made and signed. He re- ceived a note from Mr. Rassieur in February telling him Reimler wanted to return the property, and after some delay the transfer was made, but Mr. Conroy said he never got all the papers, and not come out even in the deal. He got the tax receipts, and it was not long before people began calling on him in lerge numbers about the property, thetax receipts and the deeds until he could not rest. Mr. Fieiding Mansfield called, he said, and ot a history of that transaction, and ater Mr. Reimier called. He offered him an rs. Conroy apiece he said if they would give him the tax re- ceipts, saying he wanted to show them and secure his seat in the School Board, but they would not let them go. That was on St. Patrick’s Day he called,’’ paid Mr. Conroy. Mr. Reimler called again the following Sunday with Ar. Macklin and threatened me with the law. They tried to scare me, but couldn’t.’’ Lou are an old soldier, are you not?’’ ask- ed Mr. Campbell. „Tes, [fought for the Queen in India and forthe Union in America.

RUINED BY BETTING. Wm. J. Lard Arrested for Embezzling From Flesh & Mook. * Wm. J. Lard, formerly a bock -keeper in the employ of Flesh & Mook, house and sign painters, 414 North Third street, was arrested yesterday on a charge of embezzling $10,500 of that firm’s money. Lard was discharged about a month ago, and he has since been doing business asa book-maker in Ullman's pool-room, where he was arrested. He entered the employ of Flesh & Mook eight years ago, and till quite recently he enjoyed the confi- dence of his employers in spite of his frequent visits to pool rooms and his association with betting men. As early as September, 1883, however, It is charged, he commenced falsify- ing his books, his system being quite simple and one that careful audit would have exposed at anytime. On March 17, the firm found out that things were not square, and discharged Lard, accepting from him and some securities which he assured them would more than cover the 3 Subsequent inves- tigation showed that he had taken over $15, 000, over one-fourth of which had been embezzied last year.

He was taken to the Court of Criminal Correction, where he beld down * comfortable chair un- til the arrival of Judge Campbell. The latter gave the prisoner permission to oc- cupy his private office until after the adjourn- ment o court. In connection with the account of these very un- usual proceedings it might be mentioned thatthe prisoner Lard is a relative of ex-Gov. Silas Woodson. He admits that there may be some ‘‘slight mistakes’’ in his accounts and wants time to square the matter witbout any criminal prosecution. The embezzlement was discovered about three weeks ago, when a hasty examination of Lard's accounts was made. The result was such that Lard was at once discharged and an expert called in. An investigation has been in progress ever since. Itis probable that Lard lost the money in gambDling, as he bas established a racing boo in Pool Alley.

Julius Lehmann, member of the House of Delegates, wood-turner and politician, was put upon trial in the United States Circult Court this morning under un indictment charging him with securing naturalization of aliens under the law applying te minors to which the applicants were not entitled. The indictment was found on November 4, 1889, by a Grand-jury of the District Court and returned into that court. Mr. Lehmann had been indicted, tried and convicted in the Dis- trict Court for similar offenses, and a new tria) bad been granted him. Owing to great failure of memory on the partof wit- nesses the case was never pushed to retrial. After the new indictment was found District Attorney Reynolds, hoping to secure more liberal rulings from Judge Caldwell of the Circuit Court than Judge Thayer had made in similar cases, had the pew case against Leh- mann, Jas. Sweeney, Peter R. Morrissey and others transferred to the Circuit Court. The order was made on January 23. Since the time the case against SWEENEY HAS BEEN TRIED, Judge Caldwell presided and ruled on the lines Judge Thayer had adopted, thus dissi- pating the Government’s hopes. Judge Cald- well is away now and Judge Thayer was on the bench this morning. Lehmann is charged with testifying in the Court of Criminal Correction and in the Crim- inal Court when certain persons applied for naturalization thatthey had arrived in this country three years before arriving at the age of 31 years, and were therefore entitled to na- turalization as minors, without necessity fora preliminary declaration of intention, when in fact not one lof the persons was entitied to minor papers. The persons for whom it is alleged he gave false testimony, the dates and courts are given below. THE NATURALIZED. Wm.

Correc- THE WITNESSES called for the Government are, beside the above persons for whom naturalization was fraudulently obtained, E. A. Noonan, who was then Judge of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection; A. A. Paxson, who about the times mentioned in the indictment acted for Judge Noonan; M. J. Kenefick and Wm. Fitz- gerald, clerk and deputy clerk of the Court of Criminal Correction; Ber- nard Finney, deputy clerk of the rim! nal Court; Fred. Zepp, and Charles Bellhartz. It is not expected that the persons for whom naturalization was obtained will remember what questions were asked of Leh- mann, or that he was asked any questions, or that he was sworn to answer questions. It is not expected that the court officers will re- member that Lehmann was examined in re- gard to the qualifications of any one of the applicants for citizenship. Such direct testi- mony has never been obtained in any of the naturalization fraud cases. The best Government can expect to to elicit from the naturalized the fact that Julius Lehmann took them into court, that they secured minor papers through bis efforts; that they were one and all over 21 years old when they came to this country; and to elleit from the court officers that invariable rules controlled the natural- ization of candidates; that all applicants and witnesses were examined and certain ques- tions were asked of them; that unless the questions were properly answered certificates were refused. IF ONE OF THE NATURALIZED should develop sufficient memory to de able to describe all that occurred while he was ob- taining a certificate of naturalization to which he was notentitied, thesurprise of all per- sons connected with the case would be well worth describing and illustrating. There was considerable difficulty in secur- ing ajury. Twenty-four men were Called into the jury-box and examined. Of this number ten were challenged for cause and excused. They bad formed opinions from evidence in the previous trial of Lehmann, had formed and in most Cases HAD EXPRESSED OPINIONS astothe guilt or innocence of the accused. They were: Louis Duestrow, John B. Denvir, Nat. M. Drake, Laciede J. Howard, Wm. A. Clendennin, H. K. Haziet, Charles A. Mu. Schlilerholz, Henry O. Zelle, Lincoln H. Loy and Turner Lewis, all ot the City of St. Louis. Not one juror from the City of St. Louis was left in the box. Six men, all St. Louisians, were called into the box and the Marshal was ordered to call eight more. The six men were examined. They were traveling men with the exception of two and not one uf them had ever heard of the oase. When the examination ofthese were con- cluded the court adjourned until 2 o’clock, = the work of selecting a jury was com- pleted. New Corporations.

SOME SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. A Painter Tells How Paint of All Kinds Sheuld Re Cleaned and Applied. From the Chicago Tribune. The painter was rather averse to giving away the tricks of his trade, but the reporter as usual succeeded in getting some informa- tion that will be appreciated by believers in home economy. This particular man hap- pened to be a veritable cyclopedia of knowl- edge pertaining to his trade. As it is getting along toward house-cleaning time the ladies will want to knowthe best way to clean painted surfaces, said tne painter. This work should be done carefully in order to avoid damaging the paint. Use a flannel oe dipped into warm soapsuds, then into whiting. Do not use a strong alkalisoap that will cut the paint, but select a milder variety. Hard rubbingis unnecessary. The same rule will apply to natural wood finish. If itis a good jobof wood finishing the dirt will roll off easily. There seemto be few people who know that wall paper can be cleaned so nicely as to look as good as new, yet it is a fact. One easy method istorub the papar thoroughly with a plece of softrye bread. That isn’t a bad plan, but a more effective one is to sat- urate a piece of flannel in spirits of wine and rub gently over the paper. Either method will absorb the dirt. Alter a painter has been at work on the house for a few days the windows ard found to be well covered with paint splashes. The best way to remove them isto rub witb a stiff brush dipped in camphor and sand. Coal oil, benzine or turpentine will dothe work satis- factorily if the paint has not become too dry, and in that event ammonia will do it. If paint should happen to have splashed upon the clothing the spots should be saturated with turpentine and allowed to stand for sev- eral hours, then rubbed off. Alcohol or gaso- line are better for. light-colored clothing. Most people who get themselves daubed with paint make the mistake of rubbing it into the cloth: When a man wants to do alittle job of paint- ing on hisown hook, when the work is not important enough to require a regular painter, he should atany rate know how to do it right. Boiled oil is the material for mixing; turpentine is thethianer and japan the dryer. ‘To thin paint add a little liquid at a time, then baat or stir it thoroughly before adding more, and so on until 8 er con- sistency is reached. Paint shoul atwaye be appliedin thin coats, and each successive coat should be thoroughly dry before another is applied. Use plenty of oll in mixing. It dries more slowly, but makes the paint elas- tic, lasts longer, and prevents cracking. This is the season, too, when the carriage- owner wants his old vehicle to look like a new one. The carriage painter takes it in cliarge and by the quick American method completes the work and returns it to the owner in an in- credibly short space of time. Last year the varnish spotted shortly after it was out of the shop and the painter and the varnish were of course condemned. But it was the fault of neither. Whenthe buggy spots it does not necessarily indicate poor work or poor varnish. It Ils caused by the ammonia in the atmosphere or in the spots of mud and slush that have splashed upon it. To avoid the trouble have the vehicle washed carefully, never allow spots of mud to dry upon it, and, if possible, keep it out of reach of the am- monia-laden atmosphere of the stables.

O’RIELLY MAKES A POINTED REPLY TO FATHER M’KENNA’S CHARGES, He Denies That He Is or Ever Was a Clan- Na-Gael Man—The Poctor Scores the Politicians Who Have Attempted to Use the Irish National League for Their Own Advancement. The little storm that began to brew in the Irish National League is growing larger and more tempestuous. However, much it might be regretted should anything occur to inter- fere with the work of the league, there are dangers now of a disruption unless the prom- inent menin the movement reach an under- standing. The latest explosion is Father Mc- Kenna’s violent attack on Dr. Thos. O’ Reilly, which was sent out by Associated Press this morning. When the Executive Committee of the Irish National League met here last week a cable- gram was sent to Parnell asking whether he would assent to a call for a convention. According to the constitution of the League a convention should be held every two yeers, but as year after year the situation in the British Parliament has changed 80 as to give Irishmen hope of success in the imme- diate future, the leaders have looked with less and less favor upona conyention, because the greater the possibility of obtaining the passage of a home rule measure the more delicate became the question of policy, and there was a grave fear that in the excite- ment of a convention something might be said which would upset all the work of years and make home rule as distant a possibility as it was when Charles Stewart Parnell first went to Pariiament and demanded a hearing on the floor of the House of Commons. For this rea- son Parnell has staved off a convention two years beyond the time, but the executive com- mittee has expressed an earnest wish fora convention. In fact a resolution ‘was adopted calling one in Baltimore, but as that action is sudject to the approval or disapproval of Parnell no date was fixed. The cablegram asking Par- nell's consent to this action was not repliea to. The members of the committee explain by saying that it was sent tq Dublin when Parnell was in London, and at he was so busy with Balfour’s land-purchase bill, which is a very important measure, that he did not have time to give the question of a convention bis attention. After waiting two days to hear from bim, the Executive Committee ad- journed, and Dr. O’ Reilly, 4s one of the council of g seven which has charge of the oafffirs of the League between the sessions of the committee, was commissioned to write to the Irish leaders urging the necessity for a convention. In compiiance Dr. O'Reilly wrote the following er: _ THE LETTER TO DILLON. Sr. Louis, April 20.—My Dran SIR: The meeting of the executive council of the ‘Irish National League of America has adjourned, after passing a series of resolutions, amongst them one to calla convention to be held at Baltimore, Md. This, however, was condi- tional and subject to the consent ot Mr. Far- nell, therefore no date has been settled on. As you have Mr. Parnell’s confidence, per- mit me to impress on youthat the necessity just now for calling a convention is pressing, as the present organization in this country is moribund. The apprebensions feared by you onthe other side of the Atianticthat the disturbing element on this side would say or do some- thing calcuiated to compromise the friendly relations — between your party and the Liberale throughout England, Scotland and Wales, is without foundation.

Hethen wrotethe following re- ply, which he furnished the Associated Press: M’KENNA’S SCORCHING EPISTLE. Dr. O'Reilly of St. Louis sent a letter last week to John Dillon, M. P., against which I wish to protest. I write this in order to pro- test against the spirit and letterof his writing. In the first place, he is a Clan-na-Gael man. Iam not, and never have been, although the Clan-na-Gael has wished to make it appear that 1 was one. I do not delleve in their methods. (2) Dr. O’Rellly’s state- ment is false when he talks about the delegates of last week as- sembling from every State within the United States. There were not delegates present from every State in the United States. The Nation- al League has no existence inthis country at the present time. In conclusion, I have al- ways remarked that the States of the United States which contribute the least—like Mis- sour! and Illinois and Michigaa—always dictate the policy of the League. For one, I will not submit to such a leadership of assas- sins, and like Mr. McCaffrey of Philadelphia, I publicly resign my position, (Signed) „P. A. MCKENNA, **National Vice-President I. A. L. Dr. O’ Reilly was called on this morning and shown the McKenna letter. He had read it, but he read itover again, and very plainly said that the statements were not true. Are you a Clan-na-Gael man?“ was asked. No. That is a lie. Here isa letter which I have written to Mr. Charles Osborne, the agent of the Associated Press. You may have u copy of it. It is whatI wish to say.’’ The letter read as follows: DR. O’REILLY’S REPLY. ST. Louis, April 22, 1890. DEAR Str—The Associated Press dispatches from Boston of this morning contain a letter over the signature of one who calls himself P. A. McKenna,Nationnul Vice-President of the I. A. L., in which the writer protests against my letter to J hu Dillon, Esq., M. P., for the reason, as he asserts, that I am a Clan-na-Gael man. et me correct this statement by saying that I never belonged to any secret society, and as 1 am sure some if not all his other sweeping and intemperate expressions have no better foundation for truth, I will not al- lude to them except to say that they remind me more of the ravings of a disappointed manthan of one who dispassionately could discuss a point on which he and others differ. Respectfully, THOS. O’RBILLY. The edctor’s rather pointed reply did not touch some ofthe points, and he was asked further about Father McKenna’s allegations. In reply he said: » have never belonged to a secret society in my life, andcould not without ite bein known. It is not true that lam aClan-na-Gae and ae torepresentation of the States at the meeting of the Executive Committee, nearly every State was represeuted, and we had three delegates from Canada. McKenna speaks of Missour!, Lilinols and Michigan not paying much money tothe league; why, the States are prorated, and those three have paid their proportion just as others have. Can you understand whathe means by saying thatatthe present time thereis no Irish National League in America?’’ ‘‘Icannot. He signs himself National Vice- President of the I. A. I cannot imagine what that is, but the name of our organization is the Irish National League in America. Here is a letter head, and that is the organization of which John FitzgeralJi is President. When some of the Southern States seceded my friends,who were opposed to the National Government, used to say, when we discussed the subject, that since the secession there was no longer any Gov- ernment of the United States, and it may that these gentlemen who have withdrawn from the league because weg could not make it an American political institution and use it as a stepping stone to political preferment in this country, have taken the ground that since they have withdrawn there is no any league. That isthe only explanation I can ive of it. You know, in the league we bar religion and politics. Mr. Fitzgerald, the president, is a very strong Democrat; Dr. Charles O’ Reilly, the treasurer, isan equally strong Republican. Politics is not By lng inthe league and the man who a pts to bring it in will be promptly suppressed. You know that we are all subordinate to Charies tewart Parnell, and if he thoughtfor a mo- ment that the ue was being used to ad- e own ends are dissatisfied with it, bee cannot make it raise them into political nence and t want to break it up. the expla on of all these wr against it?’’ Sport fer Albert Vietor, How Prince Albert Victor shot his first tiger His Highness is described as inviting the Prince one morning, as well as all the Euro- peans, residents and tourists, in Jeypore to witness a fight between two elephants. The animals on entering the open space chased away, it issaid, the thirty or forty spearmen who incited them to the combat, and thereupon they charged each other. After fighting with equal success for some time, they were separated with charges of gunpowder smoke directed toward them. The royal party thon went to another open court, where the fights were carried on in succession between pairs of quail, part- ridges, cocks, black bucks, hogs, deer, rams, sambhur, boars and buffaloes. ‘‘The an mals, says a witness of the scene, *‘ were ail in excellent condition and fought with great fury, especiaHy the rams, sambhur, and boars. The writer is careful to assure us that the various combatants were always separated before any Injury was done; but it must de confessed that modern sports and pastimes at the Court of the Maharsjah ot Jeypore bear a rather strong resemblance to old-fashioned barbarity. A PONY EXPRESS, IF YOU PLEASE. Mra. Paran Stevens Has a Messenger Servic: of Her Own. From the Mail and Express. Mrs. Paran Stevens has gotten tired of de- pending on the messenger boy service ana hat added what she calls a pony express to her stable outfit. This consists of a very small cart, a very small pony and a very smal! but- tons to drive the very small pony. This min- lature equipage is to be seen all over the up- per part of town during the morning carrying the notes and cards to friends in society, mes- sages to tradespeople and letters to people with whom she may be doing business. It does the work, of course, with several dozen times the rapidity ef the ordinary messenwer boy, does it accurately and at very much less expense. Several women in society who have seen and heard of the pony express think very seriously of haying one of theirown. A Play iv Real Celtic. From the Mall and Express. One of the coming novelties, to be produced in New York shortly, isa play in the Irish language. The Philo Celtic ofthis city, an association to promote the study of the Celtic language, has the matter vigorously in hand, and eh ye to produce the piay in a few weeks. A large number of well-known gentie- men are interested in the scheme, and a host of young men and women, who understand the Irish language, are to take the principal characters. It will Seon bea success, if only because of its novelty. It js hardly likely to prove of sufficient intérest to warrant more than one representation. It is a matter of interest that the society above aliuded to is taking active measures to promote the study of the — boy gn Only a very few people Know anything about it, and there are now . not over a couple of bundred persons in she city who could carry on a conversation ian pure Irish. : A Necessity of Health.

The records show that, in 1850, the land mortgages in Tipton County amounted to $156,129, and de- creaséd to $148,798 im 1860, the end of the first and only decennial period of the low Walker tariff of 1846. Under our war tariff the land mortgages in- creased to $607,000.in 1870 to 8802, 148 in 1880, and to $2,287,485 on January 1, 1890. Do the people want another ten year period of the taxation that has piled so many mortgages on farms and closed so many manufacturing establishments since 18807 — ee THE FARMER’S CANDIDATE The idea that money can buy any office from #ither party for anybody who has the money and is willing to spend it, has taken possession‘of the plutocrats of this country, since so many seats in the Senate have been sold by both parties to silent millionaires who do not pretend to fill them and rarely condescend even to sit in them. But familiar as the people are with the names of these dummies, and with their utter want of qualification for the posi- tions they hold by right of purchase only, the idea that there is no limit to the pur- chase of legislative seats and public offices has not yet obtained a place among the unquestioned axioms of American poli- tics. LELAND STANFORD’S effort to give it a fixed place among those axioms by adding the Presidency to his other purchases of high offices shows his strong faith in the progress of plutocracy, but it will pre- sent to the people in a sharply defined and aggressive shape the question whether the purchase of office is to be recognized as local and exceptional or as a national and permanent method of government, There is much in the recent history of the country tostrengthen Mr. STANFORD’S faith and hopes. If he, the typical mo- nopolist of the age; the original promul- gator of the proposition that railroads have a sort of divine right to charge all that the traffic will .bear;’’ the organizer of the Pacific road and Pacific steamship pool to suppress competition; the engineer and one of the chief ben- eficiaries of the great’ Pacific railroad robbery, could make himself Governor and Senator from California by founding a free college with part of his booty, why may he not make himself the favorite statesman and Moses of the farmer and laborer organizations by fooling them with a bogus scheme to make wild-cat bankers of them all? If he can capture them with such chaff, the Presidency is within his grasp, and there is no public office, no power, that plutocracy in its most odious form may not hope to control in this country. 1 nnn... WHAT THE COURT DID NOT SAY. Both the minority and the majority opinions of the Supreme Court in the Neagle case are strangely misconstrued by a number of the papers which have criticised them. Some critics imagine that they see in the decision of the court the monstrous doctrine that Federal officials are at all times and places and under all circum- stances under the protection of the Fed- eral Courts and exempt from trial by State Courts, and we are told that this makes Federal officers a privileged class; that when officials are thus put above State law the natural equality of citizens is destroyed. Now the decision very carefully dis- tinguishes between the acts of a Federal official as a man and what is done by him in pursuance of United States law and in the discharge of his official duties and obligations. The right to pass upon these duties and obligations, and to protecta Federal official from State prosecution for official acts done in the line of duty and in pursuance of United States law, is all that the decision affirms. The dissenting opinion of FULLER and LAMAR fully concedes this, and only takes the ground that there was no United States law making it the duty of NEAGLE to kill Terry. So FULLER and LAMAR are by some critics accused of practically de- nying the right of the general Govern- ment to protect its judges and other offi- cers in the discharge of their duties. This is another groundless misstatement. FULLER and LAMAR distinctly recognized the right of the Government, and con- tended only thata United States law to cover the case nud not been enacted; that the protection of NEAGLE in the discharge of his duties was amply provided for by State law, and that the same courts which would have had sole jurisdiction to punish TERRY if he had murdered Fri, were entirely competent to try NEAGLE for killing TERRY. N — e — IN breaking with the Aulerites at the special School Board meeting, Director BRAD took occasion to admit that for the last three months he had been ‘‘asso- ciated with a handful of thieves,” and Di- rector O’CONNELL spoke of the committee reporting on the Kelly-Standing case as “the finest lot of villains that ever cocked agun.’?

And yet at Atchison his fortune is estimated all the way from $250,000 to $500,000, his income from rentals is said to exceed his salary, his bank stock is be- lieved to be considerable, and while he is buying lots and building he pays as he goes and is not burdened with mortgages as the Kansas farmers are. But perhaps any Senator who is worth less than a mill- ion should be held up as shining example of self-denial and honorable poverty. ———— THe shameful spectacle which the School Board of the great city of St. Louis is now making of itself has been brought upon us by those who did not vote atthe election. It is a disgusting object lesson, but may serve a good purpose in showing honest tax-payers what usually happens when they leave the election of School Directors to the followers of tricky ward politicians of the worst class. DIRECTOR BOLLMAN asks to be excused from participating in the School Board riots, pending the adjudication of his right to his seat. But while one dis- gusted member obtains relief by absent- ing himself, there seems to be no relief for the people at large. How they would straighten things out if the courts could only give them a chance to elect a new School Board now!

From the New York WoRLD. The Kansas Senator’s mind hasthe sharp- ness of a very narrow and bigoted partisan. Itisapity to see a man of his gifts and at- tainments from the wide-horizoned West fall- ing into the petty provincialism of the New England political Pharisees, and treating the Democratic party—which polled 100,- 000 more votes than the t Republicans at the last general election — as „ having neither conscience, convic- tions nor defined principles, and ‘‘arrayed against social order. If this were true, Republican institutions would be already a failure. Mr. Ingalls’ nackneyed sneer that theDemocratic party is strongest where;pub- lic and private morality is weakest’’ comes with superlative cheek from a leader of the party which owes its success to the organized corruption of Quay and the systematized bribing of Dudley. Farmers With a Home Market. From the Philadelphia Times. When the counties immediately surround- ing Philadelphia, witha million of people to supply witn fruits, vegetables, milk, hay, etc., in addition to the heaviest farm crops for the general market, and their lands re- duced from 30 to 50 per cent in value within the last decade, and farming growing less re- munerative each year, what must be the con- ditions of the less favored farmers of Penn- syivania? The general decrease in the vaiue of farms and the apparently constant decrease in the rewards of farm labor, certainly call for heroicremedy. It is not a normal condition of that industry. The evils must be the growth of illogical and strained discrimina- tion against farm industry by the laws of the land; and there should be a prompt and effectual remedy. Brute Silence. From the New York Times, It is now announced bythe venerable and respectable Mr. Hoar that his party in the Senate will ‘sit out’’ the Montana case when it comes up, but that they ‘‘have no intention of further discussing it.. Further discuss- ing’’ is a charming phrase in this connection. The Republican Senators have not dared to try to discuss the case after the first day, when they found themselves entirely unable to meet the arguments of the Democrats based on undisputed facts. The simple truth is— and it is disgraceful to men like Messrs. Hoar and Edmunds and Evarts—that the Republi- cans are determined on seating their Senators from Montana in defiance of every considera- tion of law, justice or deceney, and they will do it by voting them in in brute silence.

After the meeting had deen called to order Rey. Dr. Joseph D. Wilson of St. Louis offered the opening prayer. Dr. T. Griswold Com- stock of St. Louis them made the address of welcome. He said his task was a grateful one, which he gladly accepted. The delegates were welcomed toall the courtesy and hospitality of the Queen City of the Mis- sissipp! Valley. Dr. Comstock then spoke of the work they were about to undertake and of 2 made by homeopathy. Dr. Runnels, the President of the organiza- tion, madea brief and appropriate response. Dr. Luyties read the minutes of the thirteenth annual session, after which ae read the report of the Treasurer, Dr. H. W. Webster of Kansas City, who was absent. It showed the receipts for the year to have been $168 and the ex- penditures $164, leaving a balance of N in the treasury. Drs. W. A. Edmunds and T. G. Comstock of St. Louis were appointed a committee to audit the report. They reported in a fhort time that they hed found the Treasurer’s ac- counts correct, and recommeaded that his re port be adopted. A committee en credentials was yy te consisting ot Drs. A. C. Jones of Holden, Mo., and F. M. Martin of Maryville. Dr. W. B. Morgan of St. Louis was chosen temporary Treasurer in the absence of the regular Treasurer, Dr.Westover of St. Joseph. The Committee on Credentials reported that they bad examined and found correct the cre- dentials of Dr. A. L. Monroe, President of the Kentucky Institute of Homeopathy and Del- egate to the meeting from the Southern Home- opathio Medical Society; and of Dr. W. B. Clarke of Indianapolis, delegate from the In- diana Institute of Hemeopathy. REPORTS ON PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS werethen announced to bein order, and Dr. Edmunds spoke on the Children’s Free Hospital and also on the Hemeopathic Col- lege here; Dr. A. H. Schotton the Baptists’ Orphan Home; Dr. Mrs. Gutherz on the Woman’s Homeopathic Hospital Society and the Woman’s Aid Society for the same hospi- tal, and Dr. Runnels on the Homeopathic Hospital of Kansas City. All spoke encourag- ingly of the various Institutions. Dr. Clark of Indianaspoke on the Indiana Institute of Homeopathy and said that the President of the Board of Health there wasa Homeopath. He also stated that Dr. Lewis, President of the State Medical Society of New York, an Allopathic er old school organiza- tion, hed at tne annual meeting of the society, held at Albany in February 5, stated that the best college in New York wasa Homeopathic College and had recommended the teaching of Homeopathy in all medical colleges, PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS. The President then delivered his annual ad- dress, the subject of which was Health and Study. Inthe course of the paper he ar- gued that the modern system of tuition was apt toseriously impair the future health of the student. Among the points touched upon was the effect of excessive study on the eyes. Oculists found an immense increase in cases of injured eyes, and this was the result largely of everwork and too constant a strain in all kinds of light. The eyes were used almost incessantly withont due regard to as. certained laws of health. These injuries to the eyes were not entirely local, for many | cases ofaserious nature were traceable to eye troubles, including even epileptic troubles. Teachers often showed a lament- able ignorance inthis matter, and failed to grasp the importance of the issues involved. On the question of FEMALE EDUCATION Dr. Rannels was very severe. He pointed out that young ladies were overcrowded with study at the most critical period of their lives. Their vital energies were often impaired to a lamentable extent in consequence, and it was not to be wondered at that every quack adver- tised diseases of women! as aspeciaity. The old craze that a study of the dead languages was necessary for mental discipline had long since been exploded and the study of mathematics had been absurdly overdone. It was time that men who could notearn a livelihood outside the lecture room should cease to be intrusted with the tuition of boys and girls, and they should be replaced by competent and experienced physicians. In schools and colleges vhysical training should have the first prominence, moral teaching should come next, and mental dis- cipline should be the third and last object. 3 school should have a large and or- oughly equlppee gymnasium and the practical should no longer be sacrificed for tne orna- mental. An enlightened public opinion was clamoring tor reform and no half-hearted measures would be acceptable. Dr. Joshua Thorn of Kansas City rose when the applause following the reading of the ad- dress had subsided and said: ‘Those words sound like AN ALARM BELi. I never heard those good truths 30 ably put, and I trust the committee to which the ad- dress will be referred will take good care they are not buried in the tombs of this or any other society. For thirty-five years I have been trying to make these truths apparent, but you might just as well talk to a post as a school teacher. Itisa digraceful thing that any old preacher who hasn't go —— in him to get a church should be al- lowed to ge and attempt to teach the young. It is the doctors who ought to fill these po- sitions and not preachers, who know about as much of the needs of the young people at the eriod of 3 as they do about eaven.’’ aughter. ‘ Drs. bonn and 7. D. Foster of Kansas City and Dr. W. G.

Netice Served on Reitz” at the Harlem Company Forcibly Ejected From the Theater—A Wordy War Between Emmet and His Son. * New York, April 22.—A notice of suit for divorce was served on Mr. J. K. Emmet on Saturday afternoon while he was playing at Hammerstein’s Harlem Opera-house. In the complaint, which was drawn by a legal firm in Albany, the home of the Emmet family, Mrs. Eleanor E. Emmet, the comedian’s wife, declares that she was married to Joseph K. Emmet in July, 1864, at St. Louis, Mo., and has lived with him as his’ wife until the beginning of the present suit. In- ipelity to his marriage vows more than once is charged against the actor, put the specific allegations name Miss Maude White, the leading lady of Mr. Emmet’s company, as the co-respondent. Besides these indiscretions Mr. Emmet is aecused of misconduct with other women in Philadel- phia and elsewhere, Mr. Emmet has been playing forthe past week in his latest suc- dess, Fritz in a Mad-house.’* He bas been drinking hard, and when the papers were served on him he was hardly able to appreciate the gravity of the situa- tion. The events which occurred on the stage were intensely more dramatic than anything which Fritz has yet produced before the pubiic. Ali the events, it now appears, had been carefully pre-arranged by the actor’s manager, his son, Joseph K. Emmett, Jr.—first the serving of the divorce papers is the afternoon; then the sensational scene in the theater atnignt and the subse- quént commitment of the actor to the hosp!- tal. Mr. Emmet, Sr., with Mr. Morris, who has been writing a new play for the actor, and one or two other acquaintances was sitting on the stage after the curtain had been rung down. Miss White in passing across the stage stopped to speak to Fritz. Just then Mr. Emmet, Jr., who is his father’s manager, stepped briskly upon the stage. He strode up to Miss White and brusquely ordered her to leave the place at once. The leading lady’’ indignantly refused te do so, and inquired by whatright young Mr. Emmet addressed her in that way. A few more words passed and then young Mr. Emmet exclaimed: I've told you to leave the stage. go?’’ Iwill not,’’ replied Miss White, and was about to add some other words when young Mr. Emmet seized her by the shoulder and psbued her roughly toward the door. She cried out for him to desist as she was hustied across the stage, but before any one could in- terfere he had opened the door and shoved her into asmall property-room adjoining the stage entrance, „„What does this mean?“ fairly sbrieked the leading lady.“ Let me back! 1 will not be insulted in this way!’’ Young Mr. Emmet held the door against her, and meantime the employes ef the the- ater, attracted by her screams, gathered excitediy in the hall leading to the stage. Mr. Emmet was excitedly trying to remon- strate with his son. The latter Foughiy told his father to keep quiet. Miss hite’s shrieks could be heard out In the street, and young Mr. Emmet, again — or rather ordering his father not to Interfere, opened the door and called two policemen Who had been stationed in the hall beforehand by the young man. „Lou are discharged from this company; et out of the theater at once, cried young r. Emmet to the still screaming ‘‘ieadin lady, and, as she showed no more disposi- tion to leave than before, he exclaimed to the 8 present, Fut that woman out of ere at once.’’ Miss White now appealed hysterically for protection to Manager Hammerstein, who had * ed upon the scene. He was reluctant to interfere, aud while still crying out at the top of her voice she was elbowed out into the theater office. Thenee afew minutes later, more hysterical than before, she was taken to a carriage, aud accompanied by Mr. Hammer- stein’ssonto the Gedney House, where she had rooms. Emmet, the elder, was leaning unsteadily against a siide when his son approached bim. He began berating bis father in the foulest language. They cursed each other in a most intense style. All through the wrangle with Miss White, Plinlemmos, the huge St. Bernard dog for which Mr. Emmet, Sr., is said to have paid „000, and which appears in Fritz in a Mad ouse,’’ and id very fond of his master, had lain quietly im acorner. But when father and son an their excited controversy, which seemed likely to come to biows, the great shag animal rose and approached them. The dog looked on in manifest surprise and apparently in readiness to interfere if the son should make an assault upon the father. There were ne blows struck, however, and Mr. Emmet, Sr., having emptied the vials of his wrath upon his son, finally became calmer —or rather his voice seemed to fail him and he appeared half dazed | „Well,“ he sald at last, I will go with you this time; — — scoundrel that you are, I shall never call you son again. A catriage was called and Emmet, Sr., was driven to the Manhattan Hospital. He stren- uously denies than any improper intimacy ever existed between Miss White and himself. Will yoa now Practical Hypeetism,. Dr. F. Zeller of Carondelet gave an exhibi- tion of the power of hypnotism as an anes- thetic yesterday aftesnoon.

When the operation was complete the boy was told to get up and open his eyes. He obéyed the command and resumed consciousness. He told the specta- tors that he had felt nothing at all of any knife.

As predicted in the Posr- Disraron last evening, Director Oscar Bollman’s letter - ereated a Sensation at last night’s meeting of the Sehool Board. When Dr. Hugo Auler called the special meeting to order last night all the members were in their seats with the exception of Mr. Bollman. That gentieman’s name being reached on the roll call, the Seo- retary read the following letter which he had received from Mr. Bollman during the day: St. Lovrs, April 21, 1890. Mr. Milton H. Wash, Secretary Board of Public . Schools, City of St. Louis: 1 a Strn—As van pes no 77 well arene proposed and eleoted a director o e St. Louis Board of Public Schools, and firmly believed I was eligible and qualified to occupy | position at the time of my being elected and accepting this position, yet, as the — — to my seat in said ard has been ue ned by the State of Missouri, under the law governing the same, and being a law-abid- ing cltizen, I propose to ultimately abide by any decision that may be rendered by the courts for or against me. Thus 2 my present position, I do not see how I coul 1 or legitimately act as a mem ber of board and legisiate on matters of importance coming before me, hence ask that my a nee from all meetings be granted until such time when I shall be legally quali- Ned to act as an independent member there: f. Hoping you will read and present this letter to the board at their next meeting, I beg to remain, yours most . O. H. BOLLMAN. The letter was nota surprise, because in- formation of it had been received by the members through the PostT-DiIsPaTcH. Mr. Macklin objected to its being filed at a special! meeting which had been called for a specific purpose. The chair sustained the objection but afterwards reversed his decision in order to permit Mr. Macklin to taik on the commu- nication. Macklin’s speech was principally denuncia- tory of John W. O’Connell, Fielding Mans- field and Peter P. Dailey. He said it was un- fortunate that the Drabelle law did not re- quire that members should have brains and decency as wellas tax receipts. In conclu- sion he said that the Aulerites presented their Opponents with Boliman, and hope they would have less trouble with him than they had experienced. Mr. Holmes objected to what Macklin said about Fielding Mansfield and ehbaracterized it as false In every particular. After it had been decided thatthe Lands and Leasing Comufittee’s report could not be acted on except ata regular or adjourned session, the Election Ommittee’s report on the Standing- Kelly contest was taken up. Mr. O'Connell moved that its consideration be indvfinitely postponed. Mr. Macklin asked if Mr. O’Connell bad any reasons for his motion, and the latter replied none except that the men whotried it were the finest lot of villains who ever cocked a un. Mr. Richardson said that he would not vote for the report because the good name of his friend Sol Quinlivan bad been impeacbed. Mr. Holmes charged that the ballot boxes had been tampered with by the Aulerites. Mr. Rassietir was then called upon to tell whathe knew in regard to the manner in which the contest was conducted by the com- mittee. He did so and said that the showing Was such as to prove conclusively that Dire e- tor Kelly was not entitied to his seat. When finally a vote was taken on Mr. O’Con- nell’s motion to indefinitely postpone action on the report of the committee the ballot re- sulted as follows: Ayes—Mesers. Barstow, Brady, Dozier, Holmes, McEntire, Miller, O'Connell, O' Con- nor, Richardson, Sheahan—10. Noes—Messrs. Bartholdt, Bosley, Cudmore, Knight, Macklin, Reimler, Rogers, Troll, Mr. Brady, in casting his ballot, explained that he did not agree with the Election Com- mittee. His action ws) a surprise to the Aulerites. WILL BE TAKEN INTO THE COURTS. The result of the meeting last night will be to throw tbe contest into the courts. Mr. Hugo Muench, attorney for Dr. Standing, has stated frequently that in case the Board re- fused to recognize Dr. Standing’s claims he would begin proceedings in the courts, and he now proposes to do s. A writ of quo — wili probably be asked for in a few ays. The citizens of North st. Louis will not submit to any such Outrageous action as the Millerites have taken. said Director Bart- hoidt this morning. It has been shown that Mr. Kelly holds his seat unmistakabie fraud and he will not be allowed to retain it as long as there is any recourse left. I feel just as cer- tain aslam of my existence that when the fraud, which those boxes disclosed, is shown 0 the, court, Dr, Standing will be seated at nce - Auler—9. as not Mr. Bollman’s conduct a great urprise to you?’’ No, not entirely. He isa very weak man, and he has my sympathy.’’ Strange to say, there was very little anger manifested agaiust Boilmwan by the Aulerites for his action in leaving them in the lurch. Whatever they may have felt, none were found who expressed anything but pity tor him. They harbored more resentment against rady. The language used by several of the mem- bers of the board last night is said by those present to have been the most violent and dis- aceful ever heard in the board room. fi = was especially bitter, and bis denunei- ation of Director O'Connell and Peter P. Dailey was of such a nature that all present 14 an asrault after the meeting. Only the fact that the Millerites had achieved a victory probably prevented it. Since they bad won they could afford to let a good many things i A taken to. 2 4 — 5 is 2 Se ley fet 3 | 2 Xt us | ary pe ga 4 1 $4 Po _ PREJUDICES 1 Some of the Expressions Dally Heard at Mermod & Jaccard Jewelry Ce., Corner Broadway and Locust. What a lovely establishment and what a grand stock of goods! Iam surprised at your prices; they seem 60 cheap to me for these fine goods! I have been afraid to come in here; I heard your prices were so high. I really am aston- ished to find how cheap they are! What a wrong impression we Eastern people have had of St. Louis. What taste, culture and refinement must exist to support so beau- tiful and large an establishment! My wife and I have been all through the East and I have bought some things in each city for keepsakes, but nowhere have we seen 60 vast an establishment, such pretty goods and at such cheap prices. This last remark—immense stock, great variety, choicest qualities and lowest of prices—tells the tale of the wonderful success of the Mermod ꝙ Jaccard Jewelry Co., and why you and your friends should purchase there. CLEWS & ©O.’8 CIRCULAR, Activity in Silver Speculation and the Causes Leading Up to It. Messrs. Henry Clews & Co. of Broad street, New York, in their weekly financial circular say that silver has been active owing to in- creasing speculation in London, where the price has touched 464d. One reason for the advance there is that the Bank of Bengal, Calcutta, rate of interest is 12 per cent. As this bank occupies a corresponding position to that of the Bank of England this high rate has an important influence upon the silver market. The rupee being in active demand this partly accounts for the recent heavy shipments of silver from here to- London, the average of which has been about N ounces per week for some time past. Silver bas been stocadily deciining since 1873, when the prices in London was nearly 60d. Since then the fall has been gradual, until recently it touched 40d, the chief cause of the depression being the accu- mulation in the United States. At 60d per ounce silver is on a par with gold at a ratio of sixteen partsof silver to oneof gold. This price is equivalent to 129 cents per ounce here, our silver being 1,000 fine. The United States Government now holds $308,000,000, against which silver certificates are outstanding for all excepting $16,000,000, which latter amount can be put into circulation. As it is not un- likely that Congress will at least increase tne compulsory coinage $2,000,000 per month to $4,500,000, the last igure would about adsorb this country’s entire product of silver. Fora long period the price of silver bullion certificates has nominally ruled at 9 on the Stock Exchange; but owing to the export demand and prospective legisiation the price has within afew days advanced beyond 102. Speculation, however, is restricted by the smallavailiabie supply outside of the Treas- ury. Ifthe silver biil be passed and exports consequently stopped the tendency will be to transfer control ofthe silver market to New York. This will certainly be favorable to Americon interests, forthe aim of England is invariably to depress silver in order to cheapen the cost of making the rupee, which, whether composed of silver bought at 40d or 60d, buys in India the same amount of wheat and other products.

Mayor Noonan Requests the Missouri Sen- ators and Representatives to Make an Effort in That Direction—The Delay in Commencing Work on the New City Hall—Public Improvements—Netes. Mayor Noonan has prepared a letter which be intends to send to Senators Vest and Cockrell and Congressmen Frank, Niedring- haus and Kinsey, urging that they make a united effort to secure an appropriation of at least a million dollars for Jefferson Barracks. The appropriations made for the barracks in past years have been in the neighborhood of $200,000. The Mayor holds that the bar- racks is one of the principal war department stations in the codntry, and that its appropri- ations should be measured accordingly. Speaking toa PosT-DISPATOH reporter this morning he said it was a matter that should receive the attention of the Merchants’ Exchange. ‘‘The supplies for the barracks ought to be bought here,’’ he sald, ‘‘on account of its close proximity tothe city and a movement should be inaugurated to give it all the funds it requires. This would redound to the bene- fit ofthe city and particularly to the mer- chants. Harbor Commissioner Murphy will be asked to givé his attention to this subject when hegoesto Washingtonto secure more liberal appropriations for the improvement of the river and the local harbor.

Counselor Bell said this morning that he did not know the cause of the delay. ‘‘The money is ready for the foundation work,’’ he said, ‘‘and when the pane are ready the board will advertise for bids. The successful architects, Messrs. Eckel & Mann of St. Jo- seph, will, I presume, locate an office here to superintend the construction of the new municipal building, but if they have taken any steps in that direction I have not yet been informed.’’ The opinion is generally expressed about the City Hail that the architects who captured the prize and the contract are proceeding very slowly and that something ought to be done to accelerate their motion. This is the season for commencing big buildings, and builders say the work should have been started weeks ago. Public Improvements, The Board of Public Improvement met this morning and devoted sometime toa discus- sion of some necessary street improvements. Commissioner Burnet recommended that the east side of Twelfth street between St. Charies and Washington avenue be paved with granitoid. An ordinance was recom- mended to the Assembly to widen Delmar avenue between Taylor avenue and King’s highway bythe addition of 20 feet, with the understanding that the interested property owners will pay the necessary legal expenses, estimated at $1,000. he suggestion that McPherson avenue and Westminster place, between King’s highway and Walton avenue, be vacated 30 as to straighten out the streets which run lrreguülarly in that section of the city was the subject of some discussion if the interested property owners in that section are willing an ordinance vacating the streets will very probably be recommended to the As- sembly.

FOUND HI8 RELATIVES. The Happy Result ef a Note in the Post- Dispatch’’ Base Ball News. A small paragraph in the amateur base ball notes, published in the POST-DIsPaATCH some three weeks ago, has been instrumental in uniting Patrolman Daniel O’Brien of the Third District and his nephew, Dennis O’Brien, who have been seeking One another for anumber of years. This happy result is due to the little paragraph that appeared in the Sunday issue of the POST-DISPATCH, which stated that the ‘-Noo- nan Starlights,’’ a base- ball club composed of boys, had organized, and would accept all challenges addressed to the captain, Wiliie P. Baggot. The names of the players were given, one of whom was J. O’Brien, the second baseman. Several days alter the an- nouncement of the „Starlights“ appearance In the base ball arena, young Baggot received a letter from a small town in Saline County, Missouri, signed by Dan O’Brien, asking him if the second baseman’s Christian name was Jerry. He ex- en that he had been trying to find his rother and other relatives for many years, but without suceess. His Parents had died when he was very young, and he was then placed in St. Joseph's Asylum, where he remained until 1876. when he was taken out by a man named Daniel Black and put to work at his place in Mar- shail, Mo. Young Baggot took an interest in the matter, and several letters passed between himselfand Young O’Brien. He ascertained that the secend baseman was not the O’ Brien wanted, but this did not put a check on his efferts to locate his correspondept’s relatives. He got his father, Mr. Ed Baggot, interested in the matter, and that gentleman visited the asyium and examined the records. He learned that O’Brien’s Christian name was given on the books as Herman O’Brien. He also ascer- tained that he was taken out by Mr. Biack and was called Dan by him for the reason that it was more consistent withthe surname than Herman. At the Or- phan Asylum at the same time was a boy named Jerry O’Brien, whom he had been led to believe was his brother. Mr. Baggot con- tinued writing to the youth until he learned something about him and his recollections of his relatives which, however, were rather dim. O’Brien wrote him that he had a sister whom he thought had married aman named Riley and that he aleo had an uncle named O’Brien, who was connected with the police force years ago,and Mr. Baggot looked up the O Briese on the force and ascertained that Officer Dan O’Brien of the Third District was the boy’s uncle. The latter was overjoyed at the news and told Mr. Baggot that Mrs. Riley and himself had been trying for years, but without success to find their young rela- tive. They have made arrangements to bring him here, and a Re reunion will then take place, Mrs. Riley lives at Cairo, III., and will come here to meet the brother, she has been so long séparated. from whom Industrial Interests, The Eagle Machine-works have been op- erating day and night for two weeks.

New Tonk, April 22.—A ’longshoreman on the dock ofthe National Steamship Line was asked yesterday whether the report that the *Longshoremen’s Union had asked for an eight-hour work day on May 1 was true. He replied that it was not. The Longshoremeu's Unions were not now in position to demand eight hours and would not do anything at all about the eight-hour work day. Our members, said this longshoreman, **are averse to taking any decided stand upon this eight-hour work day, for the reason that in the past we have suffered too severely to do anything now. We all believe in an eight- hour work day and would be glad to ask for it if it were probable to get it, but itis not. We believe thatthere are many more unions in the same dbox. Our members, said James Doyle of the Tinsmiths’ Union; are divided upon the question of the wisdom of asking for an eight hour working day. Many of us think that we would not de abie to persuade our employers, in the present state ofthe labor market, to give it to us, and we are in no mind toraisea row. The tendency now with workingmen is to try and persuade the employer rather than coerce him. Thatis, before setting out upon our course, we believe in ascertaining how successful we are likely tobe. The doctrine of an eight hour work day has been taiked of for two years, but instead of the whole organ- ization of the American Federation of Labor taking part in it a very small organ- ization only is permitted to ask for an eight hour day. Then, too, it is left to the decision ofeach union, whether it shall join the demand tor an eight-bour work day. That is, I understand, the stand taken by the American Federation. There is no attemptto upset things generally, but a general desire to win a victory for employes and make as much of it as possible to do. Our Unions voted not to ask for eight hours because we believed we Were not strong enough to enforce the de- mand. »The Steam-fitters Union, said John Do- herty, their walking delegate, is not in fa- vor of an éight-hour work day. Unfoftu- nately, in the agreement which we have made with the employers some time ago, there isa ciause that upon no account shall we make any further demand upon employers without giving them three months notice. If it were not forthat you would find us trying to get the eight-hour work day.’’ It was the opinion generally of working- men that while the demand for a work day of eight hours would be urged by a few unions, the majority, by ferce of arrange- ments into which they had entered with em- ployers, would be prevented from taking a part in it. The Asphalt and Cement Lay- ers’ Union andthe Cement Laborers’ Union anmounced yesterday that they hadgwon their strike for an eight-hour work day. They say that their employers have acceded also to the demand for $2.25a day to the cement la- borers, and 50 cents an hour to the asphalt and cement layers. Work is brisk with this tra‘te. Secretary Christopher Evans annonnced yesterday that Sam Gompers would issue a circular this evening upon the eight-bour work dayto the workingmen ofthe world. The cigar makers effected a settlement yester- day with Kauffman Bros., cigar manufactur- ers, by which the 250 employes will begin work. The firm refused to disclose the terms of settlement. A RIOT. A body of striking carpenters caused a riot in the southwestern part of the city this fore- noon, and as a result about fifty of them are locked up and a sergeant of police is under a physician’s care, seriously hurt. Some non-union men were put to work on Walince street near Fifty-Third this morn- ing. The strikers’ pickets reported the fact and a committee of union men was sent to per- suade them to quit work. Idle carpenters to the number of about one hundred joined the com mittee, and when arguments failed to induce the non-unionistse to quit, the crowd began jeering them and a riot followed. Police Sergeant Begley in- terfered when he was set upon and beaten by the strikers. An alarm was sent to the nearest police station and a detachment of police was sent out and succeeded in arresting about fifty of the riat- ers. the rest escaped, but the po- lice are hunting for them. Ser- geant Begley was taken to his home and med- ‘ical ussistance summoned. The non-Union men,in the meantime, dropped their tools and fled. SAMUEL GOMPERS. President Gompers of the American Federa- tion of Labor returned from Milwaukee this morning. He 1s now conferring with repre- sentatives of the various trades relative to the coming eight-hour moyement. Laber Troubles in Chicago. CHICAGO, III., April 22.—It is announced that the gas-fitters have decided to go out Monday next, Their demands are for an eight-bour day and an increase of pay from $3.25 to $3.50 a day. The sash, door and blind men are making rapid progress toward perfecting a large and powerful organization. They expect to be in 1 to demand eight hours by the ist of ay. Cases of intimidation and violence by the striking carpenters are becoming more num- erous. The patrol wagons were kept busy yesterday affernoon in several sections, an. swering calls. Only two seriousrows occurred, however, and few arrests were made. Atthe Brotberhood’s base ball grounds about 500 atrikers assembled and attempted to intimi- date the workmen. An alarm was turned in and a platoon of police came to the scene when the strikers withdrew. Atoneor two other places non-union men at work were assaulted. At a building in the northwest section of thecity a delegation of strikers ordered several non-union carpenters to guit, but were met with a refusal. The strikers armed themselves with sticks and brickbats and attacked the men. The owner of the building called the patrol wagor, but before it arrived the strikers had knocked Foreman Hansou down and severely beat him witha _gcantiing. The strikes were placed under arrest. A crowd of strikers attacked George and William Johnson, who were at work on a new bullding at 319 Armitage avenue. Both men received slight scvlp wounds. The North avenue patrol was called, but the Strikers had fied. The Pittsburg Switchmen. PITTSBURG, Pa., April 22.—The long drawn- out agony in railroad circles still continues, and meetings are held to the satisfaction of everybody but the papers, apparently. The interminable bickerings and postponements are explained by the constitution of the Rail- road Union, as it expressly provides that if any one union in the railroad federation strikes, without the consent of the others, this union will forfeit all ciaims to support. The Switchmen’s Union is the one interested in the present difficulty, and even if Grand Master Wilkeson should order a strike,’ the Men quit thelr work without the assurance of support from the otber branches of the federation of trainmen. In order to secure this supportitis necessary that the Grand Master consults the Executive Board of the federation, and this will require several days. Bo, even should a strike be declared, it will nardly be possible it will occur until the first M next week, unless the Grand Master has full authority from the Executive Board. Meanwhile both Wilkeson and Downey, aware ‘of the tremendous consequences of such a univereal stoppage of trains, ure making every effort to drag the unwilling raliroad officials into a compromiee that will be ali in favor of the men.

Pry Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. Monsey, N. V., April 22.—A man from the -métropolis invaded this quiet mountain vil- lage two years ago and cut out all the country swains who were trying to win the hand of pretty little Widow Thayer. The man called himself John Russell and said he represented a big life insurance company. He passed as a single man, and his good looks and engaging manners won for him a warm place inthe heart of Mrs. Thayer. Sbe is the widow of Charlies Thayer of the firm of Campbell & Thayer, Maiden lane, New York. Mrs. Thayer was a Brooklyn girl before she became an old man’s darling and moved to Monsey. Mr. Thayer died six years ago, leav- ing her an income of something over a thou- sand a year and a comfortable home. She is between 35 and 40 years uf age now, but she is still very pretty. During the past two years of her widowhood Mrs. Thayer was very happy in her new dream of love, but there has come arude awakening. The man of her choice has disappeared, and she is suffering from a compound fracture of the heart. There is a sore spot in her bosom and room to rent in her purse. John Russell had asked Mrs. Thayer to wed him, and she had consented. Quite recently Russell induced her to draw monev she had on deposit in various banks and place it for safe-keeping in a lump sum in the Excelsior Savings Bank in Twenty-third street, New York. He went tothe bank with her and wrote his name on its register besides hers ‘‘so that either coula draw the money at a saving of time and trouble.“ She had de- cided to buy a new cottage in Monsey of Fred - erick Houghton and $1,300 of this lump sum were to be paid for it. That was on April 10. When John parted from the widow he tola her that he was going to get a lawyer to search the titleseto the cottage. She peverseaw hin ain, but she got a telegram from him on April 12 stating that he would call to see her on the lth. On the 13th she got another telegram stating that the visit would have to be deferred until the 15th. On the 15th she got a letter from him in which he told her he was going awayto Cali- fornia forever; that he loved her but did not like her friends, and concluded by requesting her not to say anything about the money be- longing to her which he had taken, as folks would only lauch’’ at her if she did.

CHICAGO, III., April 22.—The City Council last night adopted a resolution which will cause the gentlemen who have officiated as treasurers of the city during the past ten years some trouble. In a message to the Council, some time ago, Mayor Cregier stated that for years past the city funds have been kept on deposit in one or more banks selected by the Treasurer and drawin interest amounting to a large sum annually, which sum has been retained by the Treas- urer as a personal emolument with out the sanction of law and con- trary to sound public policy. The Finance Committee last night reported a resolution directing the corporation counsel to bring suit upon tne official bonds of each and every City Treasurer who has occupied that office during the last ten vears, to the end that such „personal emolument so retained by said treasurers, without the sanction of law and contrary to sound public policy, — be re- covered from the said treasurers Ind from SEE THIS COUPON. „ — — Does It Look Like a Ticket for a Fine European Trip?

Anticipating that the number of guesses would be very large each day, it was deter- mined at the beginning of the guessers’ con- test not to print names or numbers guessed. The wisdom of this course has been fully proven, for otherwise nearlya page would have to be given each day tosuch matter, so numerous are the guesses. Bundies and basketsful are received morning and evening. All day long thereisarainof envelopes on the marble counter of the business office of the POST- DISPATCH. Every mail brings an inquiry from some one like this: 1 mail to you my guess on the teachers’ vote. Please inform me through the PoOsT-DISPATCH if my guess was re- ceived.’’ To answer all of these inquiries would be almost equivalent to printing the entire list of guessers. That cannot be done. Butthe assurance has been given and is here repeated that every properly filled out coupon sent to this paper, addressed as fol- lows: ' GUESS ON TEACHERS’ CONTEST, POST-DISPATCA, ST. LOUIS, MO. is receiyed, mechanically numbered in the order of its receipt and filed, Your estimate of the number of votes the highest candidate in the teachers’ contest will receive should be plainly written inthe white space of the coupon that is surrounded by scroll work,and your full name and address should be plainly written in the spaces indicated on the coupon. When care is taken in the preparation and transmission of coupons there can be no doubt of their orderly filing and proper con- sideration. No guesses will be considered at all unless they are written on the official coupon which. will be printed in every issue of the Post- Dis- PATCH except that of Sunday. The prize will goto the person who is the first to file a coupon bearing the number of ballots the highest candidate in the teachers’ contest will have at the close of balloting. The guessing coupons are numbered consecutively on their receipt to determine — should there be two correct guesses— which one was filed earliest. It may be that no one will guess the correct number. Then the prize will go to the person who guesses nearest the correct num ber. You may guess as often as you have coupons torecord your estimateson. Every coupon you send in increases your chances of winning. None but employes of the Post-DISPATCH are barred from this contest. Even the teachers may enter it, and should either of the winners in the teachers’ contest win the guessers’ prize she would be at liberty to name any person she chose to accompany heron the European tour. Any person who wins the guessers’ prize can transfer it to any relative or friend she may chose. The successful guesser will go to Europe under the guidance of Cook’s Tourist Co. at the expense ofthe Post-DISPATCH. ‘The tour will occupy nearly two months, and the tour- ists will be shown every object and place of interest under the most favorable circum- stances. The winners in the teachers’ con- test and the successful guesser may go to- gethér or separately, as they may wish. This contest began on Monday, April 14, and will close at 10:30 o’ clock Saturday night, May 24. Ihe vote of the teachers will be ascer- tained by the official recount, which will be completed in the week following, and ou Sun- day, June 1, the winners in the teachers’ con- test and the winners in the guessing contest will be announced.

LOUIS. : -A Medel Letter Which Local Business Men Might Frequently Use With Good Effect— Sales of Residence and Commercial Prop- erty in Various Parts of the City and Over the River. The firm of Terry & Scott received a letter this morning from a party in Ogden, Utah, with an elaborate railway map showiag Og- den, Denver, Omaha and Chicago as the chief cities between Lake Michigan and the great Sait Lake, without the slightest reference whatever to St. Louis being made upon the plat. The letter stated that the writer had seen the firm’s advertisement of money to loan and solicited the concern to place some of the surplus cash of St. Louis in Ogden, where money at easier rates than some of the loan and trust companies, with their usurious rates, charge.’’ Terry & Scott's revly was as follows: Mr, ——, Ogden: Yours of the 17th inst. at hand, with your map, which would lead uneducated people to believe that there was no euch city as St. Louis, this city being left off your map. While it is a fact that we have an abundance of money to loan set 5 per cent on good security, we would advise you to solicit from some of the bankrupt towns that you have seen fit to advertise by placing them on your elegaut map. Yours truly, TERRY & SCOTT. A number of real estate men who saw the correspondence approved heartily of the reply. GOT A BARGAIN. The Hammett-Anderson-Wade Real Estate Co. sold for Kate E.

Appeals from twenty District Courts in nine States and the Supreme Courts of at least two Territories willcome here. The law provides that the Circuit Appellate Court may sit at other places than the one designated in the bili, but it is hardly probable that this clause will be taken advantage of, as no provision is made for paying the expense of such change of base. The expense of travel would fall upon the Judges themselves. Attorneys Who have cases here on appeal would not always be in position to come to St. Louis when their cases are to be considered, and so would employ local attorneys to repre- sentthem. Thereare attorneys resident in Washington who do a great business repre- senting attorneys of distant cities in the Supreme Court. The Circuit Appellate Court will create a similar business here. Had Congressman Tarsney of Kansas City succeeded in his trick of substituting his town for St. Louis in the bill this benefit would have gone to the attorneys of Kansas City. One of the features of the proposed law, not noted in revious publications, regarding it is this. he Justices of the Supreme Court will not go upon the Circuits, as they do now. The Justices will be relieved of this duty, and will, therefore, have more time to devote to work in Washington. Then, too, under the law all appeals that are now await- ing determination in the Supreme Court that would, hadthe Circuit Appellate Court been established, go to this court will be cartified to the Circuit Appellate Court, thus immediately releiving the Supreme Court and giving the new court a lot of business to start with. their sureties and turned into the Treasury of the city of Chicago, where said interest right- fully belongs.

T., April 22.—Eli Van Aken, a wellknown young man of this town, was found dead in this city in bis bed yesterday morning. It is thought his death was due to morphine.

The Secretary of War Makes a Ruling Es- tablishing a Statute of Limitations— How Deserters Are Being Blackmalled —Terrible Hardships Incident to a Youthful Indiscretion. GAIN has the Post- DIS PATCH come tothe aid of the enlisted men of the United States army and se- cured for them a much needed and highly appre- ciated amel oration of some of the hardships un- der which they have suf- fered. Allare familiar with the successful fight made for the proper treatment of recuits, and the expose of the treatment of soldiers that led to the desertions which are more numerous in the army of the United States than in any other regular service. The expose of the PosT-DISPATCH secured better treatment of the enlisted men, but did nothing to ameliorate the condition of those who had deserted and who were still subject to the painsand penalties for an offense for which in many cases there was ample excuse. HARDSHIPS OF DESERTERS. On Wednesday lust a communication ap- peared in the columns of the Post- DIsPpaTcH setting forth some of the hardships that men who had once deserted labored under, and some action on the part of the authori- ties at Washington gwas recommended. The effect was almost instantane- ous. Yesterday an order was issued by the Secretary of War, announcing that in future no trials for desertion would take place ifthe accused was arraigned two years after the close of the time for which he en- listed, unless durjng that period he had left the jurisdiction of the United States, in which case the time of his absence should be added to the limitation. This ruling will relieve the reatest hardship to which deserters have een subjected. As all officers who have served with troops well know, many of the deserters are men who enlisted at 4 very early age, wen driven to take this step by liquor or some slight family difficulty, bitterly regretted it within a short time, deserted, and have since become excellent citizens, with families dependent upon them for support. UNDER THE OLD RULES aman who had enlisted in a fit of despair, de- serted and afterwards made his way in the world and became the head of a family lived in constant terror of arrest. The United States Government offers a reward of $30 forthe re- turn of a deserter. Few have any idea of the facilities for biackmail given by this provision. Army officers estimate that seores of men make a handsome living by the contributions received trom those who have left the army without a discharge, bave accumulated prop- erty and been discovered by some one who knows their history. Discharged soldiers and non-commissioned officers are the ones who most frequently profit by this nefarious busi- ness. Whenaman who was once a deserter is recognized, if he has no money he is at once turned over to the United States author- ties and the reward claimed. But should he have accumulated property, a constant course of bleeding begins. His discoverer calls upon him and states that unless he re- ceives a reward for his silence, he will give information to the United States authorities and have the deserter consigned to a military prison. In nearly every instance the victim complies and the amount of blackmail levied upon him is only limited by his ability to pay. The more prosperous and canspicu- ous one who enlisted asa boy and afterwards deserted becomes the greater the probability of his being discovered by some one who knew bim while in the ranks, and the larger the amount of blackmull levied. THERE IS NO END to the exactions that are possible under the system formerly in vogue. A deserter, once discovered, is at the mercy of the man who knows his secret, and can be constantly bled. Proof of the straits to which such an unfortu- nate is driven can easily be obtained at the Leavenworth Military Prison. There have frequently been a score of men in that Insti- tution wno have voluntarily given up good positions, surrendered themselves and sub- mitted to sentence to escape the clutches ofthe sharks who have fastened themselves upon them. The stories told are nearly identical in all instances, enlistment under an impulse, disgust with army life, desertion, prosperity in some community, with final discovery. When once blackmail begins there is no es- cape save by surrender to the military au- thorities and serving outasentence. Dozens of these voluntary surrenders take place every year. ‘The rule adopted by the war De- partment will putanendto this nefarious in- dustry,as after the expiration of two years the sharks can be defied.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, April 22.—An im- mente citizens’ massa meeting was held last evening under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce for the purpose of discussing mat- tersfor the advancement of Salt Lake City and Utah; it was resolved that the City Coun- ell be requested to grant liberal franchises to electrical railways and other public enter- prises, several of which, backed by New York and Boston capital, are seeking the priyilege of expending over one half a million dollars in electric lines, lake re- sorts, summer hotels, ete. A strong resolution against the removal of the South- ern Utes from Colorado to Utah was unani- mously adopted. Energetic inauguration of public improvements of all kinds was strongly urged. Preliminary steps were taken for hold- ing at Salt Lake City in October,a grand Inter- mountain Exposition and Carnival lasting two weeks. The exposition will represent ali of the intermountain country’s resources, in- cluding Utah, Western Colorado, Northern Arizona, Nevada, Southeastern Oregon, Idaho, Southwestern Montana and Wyoming. Every afternoon or night will witness u parade, a pageant, or a grand concert in the immense tabernacle, or the illumination of the entire city. Mormons and Gentiles are meeting in this movement. STUTTGART, 2. A Town Which Has Grow Wonderfully in the Last Few Years. Special Correspondence of Post-DISPATON. . STUTTGARD, Ark., April 21.—The reason of the wonderful growth of Stuttgart, Ark., is, first, it is most desirably located on a beauti- ful and attractive prairie and surrounded by some of the finest and cheapest agricultural lands in the United States. People have come in here from the North, East and West and built the town up from 200 to 1,500 in two years and 9 up tbe surroundig country as fast. Land hus increased in value to $25 inside of three years, but alon the pew line of railroad running south o Stuttgart yet remains acres of bnautitul vir- Ein prairie that can be bought at $ to $6 per gore; and if peo 3 2 new homes had she least idea of the great opportunities here thousands would come instead of hundreds. Persons who will come meaning business and wanting a home and who will say this country does not stand in resources ahead of any they ever saw can have their railroad fare re- funded. — eam — — LODGE NOTICES.
