Loxpow, July 12.—Henry M. Stanley and Dorothy Tennant were married at Westmin- ster Abbey at 2 o0’clock to-day. Mr. Stanley waiked up the aisle leaning heavily on a cane and looked unwell, The ceremony was per- formed by the Very Rev. George Bradley, D. D., Dean of Westminster, the Very Kev. Frederick William Farrar, D. D., F. R. 8., Archbishop of Westminster, and the Right Rev. W. Boyd Carpenter, D. D., Lord Bishop of Ripon. The service was fully choral, A great crowd congregated about the abbey and loudly cheered Mr. Stanley and Miss Tennant and the wedding guests on their arrival. Miss Tennant’s dress was of white corded silk trimmed with white satin and embroid- ered with pearls and orange sprays. She wore a miniature of the Queen, which had been presented by Her Majesty as a wedding gift. The representative of King Leopold of Bel- gium was Mr. Stanley’s best man. All ofthe officers of Mr. Stanley’s last expedition into Africa were present. THE CEREMONY. Mr. Stanley, who reached the Abbey frst, rose upon the entrance of Miss Tennant, and the ceremony was begun. During the cere- mony he held beneath his arm the stick which he was compelled to use for support while walking. As he repeated the service bis voice was almost inaudibie, showing the re- sults of his illness. Miss Tennant’s voce was clear and steady, and only faltered as she repeated the words „„in sickness and in health. After the ceremony a platform, which had been erected forthe convenience the guests, collapsed and several persons were bruised. The weather was dry though duil. This morning’s papers unite in extending their best wishes to Stanley, and heartily con- gratulate him on overcoming his extremely awkward Ulness, the continuance of which would have necessitated the postponement of one of the most notable social events that has taken place in London in many years. SOME OF THE GIFTS. The number of presents received by Miss Tennant, and which occupy every foot of available space in her commodious apart- ments, is almost beyond realization. Tempo- rary tables have been erected for the accom- modation of such articles as may be displayed in that way, and the collection of gifts in- cludes almost every imagimabie article devot- ed to the uses of luxury or comfort. The do- nors inelude the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Fife, Mr. Giad- stone, Baroness Burdetts-Coutts, Sir J. E. Millais, Lora Brassey and hundreds of other prominent andtitled persons. The oddest of the gifts is i bottle of water from the Victoria Nyanza, and the most valuable is animmense uncut diamond presented by Mr. Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Stan- ley’s needs asa smoker have been faithfully looked after in the presentation of innumer- able boxes of cigars of the finest brands. Pos- sibly no couple ever received a more varied collection of useful and unique gifts. Bismarck Discasses German Politics. BERLIN, July 12.—Herr Julius Ritterhaus, of the Frankfuster Journal, visited Fredichsruhe and secured an interview. On expressing surprise that Bismarck should censent to be interviewed, Herr Prince replied, ‘‘Why should I regret to receive the representatives ofthe respectable press? Had the German journalists asked me, [would have received them; but I have fallen from greatness,especi- ally for those once dependent uponme. The Post and Koeinische Zeitung neglect me. The German press is cowardly and lacks courage, Only the Socialistic press has any pluck, that and the National Zeitung and Hamburger Nach- richten. I shail maintain certain relations with the National Liberalists with whom I always get along well. It is not trne as some have said that Ithreatened to squeeze them against their willuntil they squealed. They rather tried to wrest power from me. Prince Bismarck then discussed German politics generally, and said he was not indisposed to accept the National Liberal candidacy, if it were offered, but he would avold opposition to the present Goverament, and would prefer waiting, or rather accepting a position in the Bundesrath from some other German State than Prussia, in which capacity he could address the Reich- etag. Of the East African treaty he spoke thus: ‘‘Iean only say I would not have made it. Heligoland could have been obtained more cheaply. It may be more dangerous to us as German territory than in neutral hands. The statement that there were secret clauses In the treaty could only be believed by the inno- dent. Hesaid he might write his memoirs, but the archives were not so accessible to him pow as they were formerly. He declined to speak of his retirement further thanto say that he and the Kaiser disagreed. Destractive Sterms in Europe. Vienna, July 12.—Frightful results have fol- lowed the cyclones which bave raged in vari- ous places on the continent within the last two days. Large tracts of country have been devastated, thousands of horses, cattle and other animals have been killed, crops have been ruined, buildings wrecked and other damages haye been inflicted which it will take months to frepair. Agcompanying these storms in many cases were ter- rifie flashes of Ilchtaln g. the effects of which were fatal to human life In several places. At Auxonné, France, the barracks was struck and five soldiers were Killed. At Pavia, Italy, ) ry upon a church during the tyine“service, 1 - — ee i md ‘ i . — * — wy ior eyes me Pet! ‘ 4 S . 2 ; 5 te : 7 ’ > , Te priests who were officiating atthe altar, and stunning a number ofthe congregation.

The house was totally consumed, and the entire family of six persons were burned with it. 8 Parnell’s Proposal. Loxpox, July 12.—During his remarks lu the House of Commons last night, Mr. Parnell proposed a measure providing for the ap- pointment of a Board of Arbitration for the settiement of disputes between landlords and tenants in Ireland. Suck a measure could be quickly passed and the board could make in- quiries and effect an @quitable settlement in the case of the tenants on the thirteen or fourteen estates where the plan of campaign is still in operation. The Caronicie says that the logical outtome of Mr. Parne!ll’s suggestion would by the creation of a municipal tenantry with the fixing of their tenure of land for life. The Times says that the tenants refused to be bound by Sir Charles Russell’s arbitration and asks if tney will show more respect for a Doard of arbitration created by Parliament. The Standard says it is pretty clear that Mr. Parnell’s remarks were offered ag the basis for a compromise. Mr. Balfour, the paper says, appeared to be Inclined to take the same view. The Maharajah of Cashmere Deposed. LONDON, July 12.—The Maharajah of Cash- mere, who has been deposed from his throne by the Government of British India on the charge of misrale and suspected treason, is endeavoring to obtain a hearing on the accu- sations against him through friends in Great Britain. The Cabinet has go far refused to in- terfere with the action of the authorities in India. The Maharajah is suspected of having held intercourse with agents of the Russian administration in Central Asia. The British Government has under consideration” the question of placing all the troops in India under one commander-in-ohlef, instead of the three separate commands that now exist. The object is to insure united and harmonious action in the event of a war with Russia. The deposition of the Maharajah of Cashmere is said to be intended as a warning to other Indian Princes to abstain from communica- tion with Russia. Capt. Casati Talks. ROME, July 12.—In an interview, Capt. Casati, the African explorer said that himself and Emin Pasha were beartily glad to be liberated from the équatorial province by Stanley. Evil tongues, he sald, had magnified the misun- derstanding between Mr. Stanley and Emin Pasha. They had the highest respect for each other and had never seriogsly disagreed. Capt. Casati said he inteaded to take a long rest and to write an accountof his traveis. He claimed to be the first digcoverer of the Mountains of the Moon. He praised the cli- mate of Uganda and he believed that English coolness and italian courtesy would triumph over the over- bearing attitude of the Germans in Africa. 8 The Republic of „ * Moxrryrpro, July 12.—The President has declined to accept the resignation ef the Min- ister of Finances. Congress has passed a bill providing for the issue of mortgage notes. The withdrawal of the resignation of the Min- ister of Finance has created a favorable ac- tion, and a better feeling preyails. The run on the banks has ceased. The Lenden Postmen’s Strike. LonDoN, July 12.—Affairs this morning among the postmen have resumed their nor- mal condition and the deliveries of the mails are proceeding without interruption. Four hundred and thirty-five men have been dis- missed from theservice for the part they took In the recent troubles, and Postmaster- General Raikes declines to reinstate any of them. Foreigners in Japan. LONDON, July 12.—Advices from Japap state that there ls a growing an!mosity against for- eigners in that country, and that several have been attacked in an unjustifiable manner in the streets of Tokio and Yokohama. The native press is aidingin stirring up the preju- dices of the people against strangers. Investigating English Mining. BERLIN, July 12.—Two Prussian officials have been sent to England by the government to study the mining system in vogue in Great Britain, with a view to its entire or partial adoption in Germany and also to ascertain the condition of the miners as compared with that of their German brethren, The President and the Queen. LONDON, July 12.—At the banguet given by the officers of the Honorable Artillery Co., last night, at which ex-Gov. Ames of Massa- chusetts and Mr. Allen, Past Commander of tho Ancient and Honorable Artillery Co. of Boston, were present, toasts were drank to President Harrison and Queen Victoria. Foreign News in Brief, Capt. Casati, the Itallan African explorer, has received a warm welcome in Naples, where he has been banqueted and presented with a gold medal by the Geographical So- olety.

Attempt te Frigbten Laclede Hotel Bearders n by an Alarm of Fire, 1 A couple of wood-be bumorists indulged their sense of what they considered ridicu- lous at the Laclede Hotel last night in a man- ner that came near causing a disastrous panic. Shortly after midnight they made their way to the sixth floor of the hotel, and ignited a quantity of red Bengal lights. The effect was to give the impression that the hotel was on fire. Those who eaw the blaze from the street were under the impression that the hotel was ablaze, and the policeman on the beat was aboot e turn on an alarm when the true nature ef the light was discov- ered. Manager Austin at once began an inves- tication to discover the identity of the humor- but was unfort ly unsuccessful.

Seventeen Thousand and Ninety-One Per- sons Whe Had Not Been Counted, Re- ported by the Police and 4,500 by Secre- tary Franak—The Enumeraters Want to Revise This List—Their Strange Request. The police concluded thelr count to-day, and handed their books overto the Oitizens’ Committee. They will be taken to Washing- ton to-night. The committee will present them to the Secretary of the Interior, together with the returns which Secretary Frank has. The work of the police was splendidly done considering the disadvantages under which they labored. Although the results are not what were expeoted they are sufficient to demonstrate the incorrectness of the enu- meration made by the census corps and to justify a recount. The total number of un- counted people found by them was 17,091. This is not as large a number as they expected to report, but errors ocourred in some of the reports. In the First, Third and Fourth Districts the figures of the first and second days were added together and given as the second day’scount. That is, on the seq ond day the total was given as the count for that day, and when the figures of the first day were added a second time the result was swelled again. That, however, does not matter. The finalcorzected report is what the committee will use and that is more than satisfactory. Thereturns by districts is as follows: First District Second District Central District... 00 „„ 66 ade eee cece oth os Fourth District...... ... Fifth District “ee eeeeteeeeee eeeeee ears Ce eeee Total eeeee eR wears eee %%% „% % ã ö ] . eee eee eee A RECOUNT JUSTIFIED. In three days the police found all those who had not been counted, though they worked under the most unfavorable circumstances. Thoy started out on a moment’s notice on work for which they weré unprepared and with which they were unfamiliar. They worked earnestiy and proved that a little en- ergy onthe part of the enumerators would have brought better results. Some police beats contain as many as thirty-six blocks, andthe men had only three afternoons in which to count the missed, yet hurriedly as they had to work they succeeded in find- Aung more than 17,000 who had not been counted by the enumerators, although they worked nearly a full monthand had much smaller districts. The result is sufficient to show that there is no reason for denying are count. If the police could find this many there is every reason to believe that there are thousands more uncounted, and on thatshow- ing the authorities cannot den recount. Supt. Porter can hard! is too small a number of people to justify) the labor and expense of recounting the city, ° FIGURES PROVE IT. There are too many figures to prove the in- completeness of the census, enough to show that Maj. Weigei’s returns areof no earthly value for statistical purvoses. In the first place, an error of 15,000 was found in the re- turns themselves; then the census clerks found 3,000 names which could not be counted; then the police found 17,000 people who had not been counted at all, and have reported individually to Secretary Frank, making a total of 39,509, or about 11 — dont of Maj. Weigel’s total. A statistician who will accept figures that have been proved to be ll per cent less than the correct geo does not want accurate results and if Supt. Porter is trying to secure an accurate census ofthe population of the country he cannot accept such figures as these. If he is satisfied with the St. Louis returns no one will have con- fidence in the Eleventh Census, for if an error of 39,500in the population of one city is not corrected it isimpossible to escape the con- clusion that other errors of greater or less magnitude have been allowed to pass. Why Supt. Porter should continue to oppose a re- count after such ashowing itis difficult to understand, Of course Maj. Weigelis still fighting it. He will defend his census though is is proved to be wrong, but it isa little surprising that Supt. Porter shouid defend the erroneous work of a subordinate. It seems that instead of securing a census he is simply endeavoring to defen the census corps. S8t. Louis does not care about the census corps and does not wish to say any- thing hard about the men who have wronged her, but she wants all her population counted and she will oppose any one who attempts to prevent this. WHOLE SETTLEMENTS IGNORED. The canvass in the Fifth Dolice District, which embraces fully two-thirds of the city,is asample of the work St. Louis is protesting against. The reports showed that 4,329 had been missed y the censuse enumer- ators in that districts alone. The Fifth district extends to the northern, southern and western boundaries of the city. The mounted patroimen who bave canvassed in the outskirts have reported whole settle- ments that were ignored Dy the enumerators. One of the mounted patrolmen ran across an Italian settlement d day or two ago, and with the assistance of an interpreter ascertained that nobody had taken their names. MaJ. WEIGEL’S VIEWS. The canvass in the tenement quarter showed just as bad results, for there were found houses in which a haifa dozen families live which bad not been visited by the enumerator. Still Maj. Weigel insists that the census here bad been as well taken as in any other city. Ina letter to Mr. Sampson, Chairman of the Citizens’ Committee, Maj. Weigel says: As you are aware, they are entitl pay accord- ing to the number of people taken down by them on the schedules; he that took the most names to get the most money, and he that took the least to get less accordingly. 16 does not seem reasonable to methat, under these circnmstances, any enumer- ator would be foolish enough to cut down down his compensation — failing to enumerate. I ain well aware that, owing to the demoralizating course of that part of the press above referred to (the Demo- cratic press), many persons in this city were abso- lutely disinclined to give the enumerator any in- formation whatever, and it even became necesea to have some of the most refractory ones brought before the United States Court. Now thatthe cen- sus has been taken, as wellas it could be under such adverse circumstances, this same press howls about its incompleteness. You will bear me ont that at a conference held with your committee of the Mercantile Club some three weeks ago, I heartily favored your proposi- tion to have yourown men go over such enumera- tion districts as you might select for the purpose of comparing thelr results with the schedules then in my office. This would have been a practical way of ascertaining whether the omissions were great; but unfortunately yeur proposition was not received favorably be the other members ofthe committee, and the time passed forsucha verification, Now there is no means of knowing whether the persons reported by the police have been actually missed by the enumerators or not, until such time as your list is compared with the schedules on file at Washing- ton. NOT THE PEOPLE'S FAULT. Washington is where the comparison will be made, and that is satisfactory to St. Louis. Nobody wanted it done here, and nobody wanted it done by the enumerators. The fact that enumerators vue ee according to what they accomplished did not prevent them from skipping thousands, Maj. Weigel to the contrary notwithstanding, and the police reports have proved it. Maj. Weigel repeats in his letter his slur on the cit- izens, virtually oh Ing them with the responsibility for the incompleteness of the census, but the fact that they have responded sO numerously to the call for the names of the omitted is proof that the blame for the incomplete census rests upon the enumerators ard upon no one else. As to the peopeses recanvass of certain districts, is which Weige It is a rock she happily districts have been very well taken and a re- canvass would show comparatively few omis- sions in them. Had the committee been led into making the test ina there were numerous and F Gistrics 4 eve hh fectly K — i poets and he furngsbed the names to the po- ice, but with a uestthat his name should ne be given p«blicity for fear of personal vidlence from the enumerators, who are op- posing the recount, ‘Three of these latter gentlemen called on Secretary Frank yesterday and asked that the police lista be turned over to them for revis- ion. This is probably the most impudent request that has ever been made; that the very lists by which their work was to bé proved erroneous should be placed in their ands for revision. Mr. Frank told them he had no authori to do that: that he could only report the lists tothe committee, but he would inform the committee of their request, and the committee could act as it feit inclined, He said, however, that he thought a lack of time would prevent compliance with the re- — even if there was no other considera- on, The committee held a meeting in the Mayor's office this afternoon and received the reports from Secretary Frank and the police, There were turned over to the sub-cominittes, which will take them to Washington to-night and present them to the Secretary of the In- terlor on Monday. | EAST ST. LOUIS. Important Public Improvements Nearing Completion—Belleville News. The iron framework of the Broadway viaduct is practically finished. The third and last span, which overhangs Cahokia creek, has been put together, and now swings clear of the piles that supported it during its construction. Only a ten rods and bolts are yot to be set and when they are in position the iron work will be complete as far asthe viaduct proper Is concerned.

In Judge Valliant’s court this morning Rob- ert M. Foster, the assignee of the defunct St. Louls Improved Street Sprinkling Co., filed his bond in the sum of $50,000, with the St. Louis Trust Co. assurety. The bond was ap- proved by thecourt. Mr. Foster has fifteen days in which to file a statement of the assets and liabilities and a full inven- tory ofthe company’s property. Under the order of the court granted Thursday the Sheriff will proceed to sell the property at- tached by the Bothe Wagon Co. and other creditors last Mouday. Mr. Foster may, in the meantime, get the property out of the Sheriff’s hands, bus bas not as yet definitely determined what he will do. To a PostT.DISPATCH reporter he sale this morning that it would take him a day or two to decide whether he would move to get the property out of the Sheriff’s possession. The Bothe Co. having filed its attachment before the assignment was made, and having the property as a llen to secure the payment of its claims occuples a much better position than the other creditors, and will, its attorney says, get dollar for dol- lar.

There bas Deen no plece of political gossip recently published which has been so gener- ally discussed as the report that under the Revised Statutes there was a reduction of $5,000 each made In the salaries of the Sheriff and Collector of the clty of St. Louls. Al- though these offices are at present held by Republicans, the disapproval! of the supposed reduction was as great among the Democrats as it was among the Repubiicans. The reduction, it has been stated and be- lieved, was to take place in 1891, and in view of the prospective cut 18 has been predicted by the politicians, thas. after 1591 it would be a great deal more dim. cult to get good mento come out for the offices of Sheriff and Collector than it has been In the past. The Sheriff's office particularly would, it was thought, be most undesirable. The term is only for two years, and it gen- erally costs a candidate a couple of thousand dollars to be elected to the office. He bas to give a good bond and Is not only likely to be sued while in oflee but very probably will be harassed with litigation long after bis term has expired. Under these condi- tions it bas been the general opin- jon. that $10,000 a year was \Iittle enough salary for the office, and the opinion prevailed that if the salary was out so $5,000, as was supposed to be contemplated by the revised statutes, there would be very few, if any, first-class men who could be Induced to run for the place. IT WAS A MISTAKE. It turns out now that the report about the reduction did not have a very good founda- tion. Collecter Ziegenhein, who would only get $5,000 a year for the last two yoearg of his term it there was such a law as has been re- ported, was naturally much interested in the matter and took the pains to satisfy bimseit Whether or not there was such a law applica- ble to St. Louis. He has disclosed to some of his triends that by his investigation he is con- vinced that the law by which the supposed reduction was made has no application what- ever to the city of St. Louis. In this opinion he is said to be backed up by no less a person than Senator James C. McGinnis’ who intro- duc@d the bill which has created such a stir. The section of the statutes which has been alleged to make the reductious In the salaries ot the colleetor and sheriff is as follows: 5,022. Fees paid to deputies not to exceed what. The fees of no executive or ministerial officer ot any county, exclusive ofsalaries actually paid to necessary deputies shall exceed the sum of — tor any one year. After the first day of Janu- ary, 1891, every such officer shall make return quare terly to the County Court of all fees by him r ved, and of the salaries by him actually pald to his depu- tiles or assistants, stating me same in detall, ana. verifying the same bv his affidavit; and for any state- ment otomission lu such return contrary to truth such officer shail be liabie to the penalties of wilful and corrupt perjury. This section, itis said on authority of Sena- McGinnis, se it is claimed, was only in- tended by him to apply to counties, and had no reference to any city whose taxes amounted to over $1,000,000. The fact that is requires a statement to be made to the County Court, and that there is no County Court in St. Louis, is cited as evidence in support of this assertion. But there is even stronger proof than that offered that it has no applica- cation tothe city of St. Louis. This is thas among the statutes which refer particularily to the Collector of the city of St. Louls there ia still unrepealed a section in which the Col- lector’s compensation is specifically stated to be $10,000 a year. . In paragraph 12 of sec. 7640, entitled county clerk to **Oollector’s commissions; certify to State auditor;’’ pace 1771, there is the following: Provided, That the municipal authorities of such ties (cities whose taxes and licenses exceed 81 forany one year) may limit the maximum ber of and maximum salaries to be paid to all oyes of the collector and may otherwise res- nably limit the expenditurrs of his office and the tof collecting the revenue. The coliector shall make - settiement annually on e first Monday of March and atthe expiration of his term of office with the proper officer of the city for such commissions retained, and all the commissions hereinbefore allowed shall be computed fer the year or partof the year next preceding the dates of such settiement. Said collector shall present for allow- ance, proper vouchers for all disbursements made y him on account of salaries and expenses of his office and other costs of collect- ing the revenue, which shall be allowed to him against the commissiofs retained by bim. and out o the residue of such commissions in his hands, after deducting the amount ofsuch commissions allowed, he shall be allowed and authorized to retain, as far as the said residue of such commissions in his hand will permit, acompensatiom at the rate of $10,000 per annum. Ars IT’S ABSURD. Senator McGinnis, who introduced the sec- tion over which such a fuss has been made, is at present in Washington and could not be seen, but has given it as his opinion thas it is absurd to thing that the section applies to 8t. Louls,or that the Legisiature would think fora moment of reducing the salaries of sheriff and collector ln such acity as this to $5,000 — annum. The newa thatthe law Umitis he salaries of sheriffs and collectors to $5,000 does not apply to St. Louis will doubtiess give great pleasure to the politicians. Democratic Committees.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 12,—The letter published this mornigsz under the date of Car- isle, Pa., purporting to give the views of President Harrison concerning free trade and Protection is not genuine. The President was invited to attend the National Grangers’ Ex- hibition at Carlisle and sent a letter to the Secretary of the association thanking him for the courtesy extended and expressing bis re- gret that the pressure of urgent public basi- ness would prevent his accepting the lnvita- tion.

C., July 12.— Mr. Dingley of Maine presented a memorial of the State Oonference of Congregational Churches of Maine for the paseage of the ‘‘original pack- . bill, Referred. r. Conger of lowathen calledup the con- ference report on the silver bill. Mr. Conger paid that the bill presented in the bill must be) inthe nature of a compromise. It was not Just such a bill as he thought Vongrese ought to pass. It was not just euch a bill, perhaps, eas any member of the House would like to Dass if he were proparing a measur’ to meet his convictions. But it was a bill that would Answer the demands of the country, would meet the demands of the silver miner, that Would answerthe demands of the agricultur- aliste and the business of the country. The entieman from Missouri (Mr. Bland) will teil e House that the biil demonetized silver. It did nothing of the kind. On the contrary, the whole tenor of the bill remonetized eilver. silver went up to a parity with gold it would give an increase of $70,000,000. The last section of the bill unlocked $70,000,000 now tied up for the redemption of bank notes, making the total increase of circulation in the next twelve months, $140,000, 000. Mr. Williams of Illinois inquired whether the gentloman in his calculation did not aa- ume that silver would reach a parity with old. . Conger replicd that whether it did or not the increase would he nearly that amount. At any rate it would fall short of that only bout $13,900,000. Was the gentleman from Missouri (Mr. land) willing to stand here and vote against a measure which would give the suflering people of the West an addl- tional circulation of this large amount. This was a Republican measure and every fivancial measure of importance tbat had been successful iv this country (with one Solitary exception) has been a Kepublican Measure. [Applause] The pending measure had been agreed upon by Republicans only; it had been passed in the Senate by Kepublic- an votes only; it might pass here by Kepublic- an votes only. It would then go to where it would besigued by a Republican President and then it would go tos country that would give such alhepublican indorseement that many of the gentlemen on the other side would not be hereto vote in the next Con- gresses. The work of the House had been moving the country rapidly towards the establish- ment of aparity between silver and gold. When Congress mot silver was 93 cents anounce. Yesterday it sold for 107% cents. Bbince it had been announced that the con- ference bad agreed upou a bill silver had * up more than Scents an ounce. [Republican applause. | Mr. Cutcheon of Mighigan regarded the con- ference Dill as a yast improvement over the monstrosity sent bere by the Senate, which proposed to make the United States minte the dumping ground for all the silver of the worid for the benefit of speculation. It was also an improvement of the bill as it originally passed the House. It would give the country an ad- ditional currency of metaland paperfor the uses of business. Mr. Hermann of Oregon said that he favored the bill. Although it did not contain the fullest recognition of the equality of gold and silver as money metals, it was a concession ou both sides of the question; it was a victory forthe popular demaud. It was a long step towarde free coinage. He had no doubt that after the fall electiong there would be a strong representations here on the line of the free coinage ofsilver. Hs con- Kratulated the people be represented that such an advance had been made in establishing an equality between the two great moncy metais of the world. Mr. Bland, of Missour!, concurred with the gentieman in hoping that the next House would be a free coinage House. But that House would be composed of i § those who advocated free colnage and who steod by their colors. It would not be composed of the Republican party, which by gag ralie had voted down and stifled free coinage. If tree coinage came at all, it would come from the party which had stood firm to the flag of tree colnmage and which had not surrendered ite principle at the beck of Wall street. The bill surrendered every principle of bi- metallismm. It surrendered frec coinage. It made a combination with bullion speculators of Wall street. In the interest of Wall street it departed from the legal ratio and changed that ratio from sixteento one to twenty to one. The bill made silver simply a commodity to be measured by gold upon which money shall De issued at ite gold value. It was true that the measure wight make easma!l increase in Circulation, but it would make it by a concession to the gold stand ard and 0 desertion of silver. It was a declaration that Congress would not Make any further fight for bi-metalism,. It Was neither asiiver bill nora greenback bill, but simply a political device comeocted to tide over an ewergency. Mr. Morrow of California expressed his ap- roval of the conference report, and proceeded argue thatthe depression in the price of Silver in recent years had resulted from arti- Hoiai manipulation. Mr. Cannon of Illinois favored the report and hoped thet an ituternational agreement could be reached that would estabiish arate between silver and gold. American Mezretary Union. WASHINGTON, D.

Feur People Killed, the Same Number Fe tally Injured, and Feurteen Missing—The Captain’s Statement — Four Persons Drowned at Halifax—Fell From a Train— The Casualty Record. CnrcaGo, July 12.—An explosion followed by ahot and stubborn fire occurred on the steamer Tioga last night, The boat had just come in with a cargo of freight which was be- ing unloaded at the docks when the accident occurred. The dock to which the boat was moored is in the Ohicage River at the foot of Washington street, in the midst of a very thickly populated district. As soon as the noise of the explosion was heard thousands flocked to the scene. The stern of the steamer was soon ablaze and the firemen had a hard fight for an hour or more. The following is a correct list of the killed and injured so far as obtainable at an early hour this morning. The dead identified: Osborne Polk, laborer. Alex Smith, colored. John Brayton, colored. J. Williams, stevedore. Missing, probably dead: C. Leulia, Wm. Cuthbert, Edward Fitzgib- bon, John Neill, L. Alexander, H. Alexand- er, John Lewis, Wm. Porter, 8. Smith, J. Creill, H. Thomas, J. Cherry, James Jones. Fatally injured: Henry Witherspoon, colored; Geo. Haign- ger, David McNeil, oiler; Thos. Emmett. Seriously injured: John Burke, Robert Holliday, Walter Chaffee, Wm. McDougall. The Captain, A. A. Phelps, said he did not think that the boilers exploded, but that it was some inflammable material in the bold. After the fire bad been brought under control the cause of the explosion was quickly learned. Kerosene, gasoline and cotton formed a large portion of the cargo, and itis thought that some of the tanks must have leaked. The damage is estimated at $75,000; fully in- ‘sured. > Four Persons Drowned.

On this bridge several hundred people crowded at once, causing the chains to snap; about one hundred people were thrown into the water which was at that point about twenty feet deep. Alarge number of men on the dock dame tothe rescue and most of the people were saved. Those who were drowned and whose bodies have been found are Ell Sumott, aged 17, Peter Boyle aged 60, Joh Brodie aged 8, Bessie Foster aged 22. Others one 3 but the bodles have not yet been ound.

Chairman Goddard of the Western Associetion hopes to be able to restore rates to old prices before that time, but there is little likelibood of his delng successful. The local roads look for no further reductions, however, although there isafeeling of in- 9 Ihe Eastern lines running out of this city have also made a rate of $22.50 for the round trip to Boston. This rate is made for the G. A. K. delegates to meet the UOhicago rate, which is $19 for the round trip. The differ- ence between the regular rate from Chicago to Boston and from St. Louis to Boston is $3. 50, and the rate now made from here corresponds with the rate made from Chicago. It was the original plan to charge one fare for the con- vention, but the Chicago roads cut this rate 4 few dollars, and the St. Louis lines to protect themselves were forced to make a simliarcut. Nothing further has been heard here concern- ing the cut to $7.50 for the round trip which the Chicago & Atlantic Is alleged to have made. Ifsuch @ rate has been made the other Chicago lines will be forced to meet it and the St. Louis roads will also have to make a cor- responding cut, which would make the round trip rate to Boston from here $11, Notes.

Thomas of the Arega—A Rumor Denied, PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., July 12.—Capt. H. O. Thomas of the North Commerdal Uo.’s steamer Arago, which arrived yesterday, states that the seizure of the Gloucester seal- ing schooner Mattie C. Dyer at Ounalaska on June 19 was not made by the cutter Bear but by the Deputy Collector of the port. The vessel had put in in distress and had regu- larly entered atthe Oustom-house, but was seized and her seventy seal skins confiscated. Capt. Mockles of the Dyer claimed his ability to prove that the seaiskins were not taken in Behring Sea, but ne could not alter the Col- lector’s determination. A suit for damages will probably be brought against the Collector.

EL Paso, Tex., July 12.—The following par- ticulars in regard to the battle between the rival Mayors of Ysleta and their adherents bave been received here. The Sheriff from El Paso reached Ysleta at 3o“elock this morn- ing and succeeded in stopping the battle by persuading the forces of Mayor Alderette to withdraw. The party headed by Gaal, who resisted arrest, is in his house, which the Sheriff has surrounded. It is now believed that there were butthreemen killed instead of six as first reported. It is learned that the trouble originated inthis way: Begnigno Alderette as Mayor of Ysieta has charge of the Acequita and bad a couple of men cleaning it out when Gaal sent a posse of armed men to drive Alderette’s men from thelr work. Gaal claimed that he was Mayorand put his own men to work and refused to discontinue when ordered by Alderette to do so. The Mayor then secured a warrant for the arrest of Gaal to place him under peace bond and deter him from further interference with the Acequita. Gaal summoned his armed followers around him and refused to surrender, and the fight followed. BRADYCROTINE cured headache for Jas. Gould, Traveling Agent for Harter & Co., St. Louis, Mo.

THE STATE ACT AGAIN INTERFERES WITH INSPECTOR SULLIVAN’S WORK A Buling Against the City Ordinance by Judge Anderson—The Case Against the Grafeman Dairy quashed in the Second District Pelice Court This Moraing— Both Acts to Be Tested. This morning, Judge Anderson of the Sec- ond District Police Court rendered a decis- ion in the Grafeman Dairy Co. case, which has been before the court since April 4. The Grafeman Dairy Co., Wm. Grafeman manager, doing business at 2026 Franklin avenue, was charged by Milk Inspector Sulll- van with selling adulterated milk, An analysis of the milk showed the follow- ing: Water 89 parts, milk solids 11 parts and butter fat 2.1 parts, while the ordinance calls for only 88 parts water, 2 per cent butter fat and 12 per cent of milk solids. Mr. Marshall, attorney for the defense, then submitted the following motion to quash: Now come sald defendants and limiting their appearance only for the purpose of making this motion, move the court to q uash the information and writ and summons herein and to dismiss this case, and for grounds herein assign the following, to-wit: 1. Because this court has no jarisdiction to bear and determine this complaint. 2. Because ordinance No. 13,996 is null and void, and is in conflict with and superseded by art. 4, chap. 87, secs. 5,658 to 5,670 inclusive of said article and said chapter of the Revised Statutes of Missouri (1889), and being 80 in conflict with and not in barmony with said art. 4, sald ordinance 13,997 becomes null and void under seo. 23, art. ¥ of the constitution of Missouri. 3. Because the information herein does not state facts sufficient to constitute any offense, either under ordinence 13,976 or under art. 4, chap. 87, Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1889. Judges Andersen and Oady sat jointly on a similar case some time ago and rendered a Uecision in favor ofthecity. Since then the SUPREMBE COURT has passed on the Miller School Board case, and has established a precedent which is at variance with eir decision. This morning Judge Anderson rendered a decision in com- pliance with the motion by the defendants, or rather, granted the motion. ln consequence the city ordinance is now considered nuil and void, and will remain so unless the 1 Court, to which the case will be carried, reverses the décision ef the lower court, by which the miik inspectors will now be refrained from prosecuting fur- ther cases under the ordinance, and must rely on the State law. Judge Anderson’s ruling isasetback for Milk Inspector Sullivan, who has contended all along that the city ordinance fw In force white the State actiganuility. The city or- dinance prohibits the sale of skim milk, while the State act permits and legalizes it. Some time ago Delegate E. F. Stone and M ilk Inspector Sullivan madea thorough investigation and consulted a number of authorities on the sub- ject of milk legisiation.. The conclusion was reached thatthe city ordinance regulating the sale of milk was legal while the State act was not. This was based on the right the city holds of regulating ite own sanitary condi- tions. The milk ordinance is considered a sanitary measure, aud should, Inepector Sullivan bolds, be enforced without reference to the State act. He has been preparing for some time to inaugurate a crusade against the seliers of skimmed milk, though the State act, which Judge Anderson virtually sustained this morning, is in conflict with the local ordinance, WHICH IS LEGAL? It is the intention of Inspector Sullivan to fully test the question as to which act is to be enforced, and to that end an appeal will cer- tainly be taken. The conflict between the city ordinance and State law has done much, the inspector says, to hamper and interfere with his efforts to prevent the sale of adulterated and skimmed milk. The progress of the case will be watched with a strong degree of inter- = by the milk dealers and consumers gener- ally. THE Purina Filter fs the simplest, most effective, most durable and cheapest.

Religious circles in New York have rarely been so stirred up as they have been by the appearance in this city nearly two weeks ago of the English Episcopalian monk, Father He is perhaps the most unique religious figure in the world to-day. Belong- ing to the church which abolished all the monkish orders and whose sponsors contfis- cated the property of the monks, he comes forth as the first of Protestant monks since the reformation. A bigh churchman, and wearing the garb of the Roman Catholic Benedictine Order, he conducts services on the lines laid down by the wost fervent class of Methodists, playing the melodean and leading the singing and calling on all to join in, much after the man- neradopted bythe Salvation Army. He be- lieves in the doctrines of a church whose cere- monies are almost as gorgeous and quite as Stately as those of the Roman church, yet he apparently scouts ceremonials. He is. at- tached toa church of which none can bea member without believing in certain articles of faith; still he openly proclaims that dogmas amount to nothing,that all Christian churches are essentially the same, that they differ only in Outward manifestations, and that all of them will lead sinners to Heaven safely if the sinners wish to be saved. in other words, be isa monk, not a fanatic in doctrine—a thing unheard of before—a monk who wears the cow! of an order, shaves his head and observes all outward monkish Pf — and at the same time regards the old monkish religious exercises as ridiculous. A paradoxical sort of a man, indeed; and that Ils just why he is regarded with so much curiosity. There are about 10,000 Benedictine monks in the world, and they are looked upon with no more curiosity than the Jesuits or Franciscans or Dowinicans, because they are Roman Catholic members of a Roman Catholic order. But Father Ignatius is a Protestant monk. The very words Prot estant monk’’ are contradictory. The doings and practices ofthe inenks were among the chief things which the English seceders from the Roman church protested against. It is not surprising, therefore, that people wonder to see coupled together an adjective and noua us antagouistic as the words white blackness, Pather lgnatius has as yet been seen by few New Yorkers. He made hie first appear- ance here last Sunday week at the Reste Episcopal Chureh on One Hundred and Ninth street, near Fifth avenue. Only a small Congregation was present, and they were not greatly actonished at his attire, sipce they are all ritualists. Last Sunday night Father Ignatius conducted services in Lyrio Hall, and there his peculiarities became more apparent. Dropping the dignified cere- monial of his church, he held what might be called revival services, as earnest and un- trammeled by church rules as the services of Moody and Sankey. In a few months all New Yorkers will have a chance to see the English monk. In the fail be wHl hold mission services in this city, and will then probably enter on a ee ca- reer throughout the country. He Dbelleves there is a large field for work in the United States, and be proposes to make his vielt hore— which was originally for the purpose of collecting funds for his new moyastery in Wales— sort of evangelizing journey. It ts a notable thing that Father Ignatius has not been received ina very cordial way by the Episcopalian clergy of New York. And he does not seem to desire any favor at thelr hands. He has not. call even on Bishop Potter. He says he has a right to p of the diocese or the cle carries no entials. In fact, as the his life shows, his course is opposed by the iscopal hierarchy in England.

A Man Badly Injured in a Coal-Yard—Soav- eral Men Burned by an Explosica iu a Factory—A Carpenter’s Bad Fall From a Scaffold—A Rallroad Conductor Hart. Buck McKelly, a colored man working in a coal yard near Pine and Fitteenth streets, met with an accident this morning which badly crippled himand may result fatally. While he was at work he picked up whathe took to be a blank or used cartridge. After handling it for awhile his inquisitiveness got the better of his discretion, and he pro- eedéd to dissect the cartridge with A hatchet. Unfortunately ffor him the cartridge was a dynamite one and it ex- pleded. Mekelly was knocked half way across the yard, and it was some time before he recovered consciousness. He was taken to the Dispensary in very bad shape, with his right eye, a section of hisscalp and the thumb and foretinger of bis right hand all missing. He may recover, but it will be some time first.

Ernest Prentice at Indianapolis Yesterday. Curcaco, III., July 12.—A’ dispatch from Indianapolis, Ind., says: Mrs. Ernest Pren- tice died Wednesday. Her last request was that there should be no funeral aer mon or ceremony. All that she desired was a brass band. She died of consumption and was per- fectiy sane. Yesterday she was buried. The body of the dead woman was laid out in a neat coffin of the front room of the house. The mourners gathered about, A full brass band was stationed in the yard. After the coffin had been closed and lifted in the hands of the pali-bearers the brass band played **Nearer My God to Thee. The pali-bearers moved siowly from the house and outto the hearse, the last note of the sacred air dying away as the coffin was pushed inside the wagon of death and the doors closed. Then the band took up its position in front of the hearse, the procession was formed, and to the music of a doleful dirge the body was taken to the cemetery. A solemn piece of sacred music was played as the coffin was removed from the hearse und deposited in the vault. There was no prayer, no Temarks by a pastor—only the music of a brass band. — — REMNANT SALE.

HE trouble between the town of Kirkwood andthe seminary con- ducted by Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns is ina Mm fair way to being set- tled by the conversion of the seminary into the first manual train- ing school for colored boys ever established in the United 8 8. Mrs. Cairns bas et with a good deal of trouble in various ways and, no matter whose the blame, con- siderable bad feeling has existed, and the lady’s determination to move from the town is one of the results of the unpleasantnéss. The property secured by the syndicate, of which Mrs Mil- ton Turner is “ prominent mem- ber, is the well known old. Kirkwood Seminary which has been so closely identified with the material growth of the prosperous village since it was laid out by the eminent engineer after whom the town was named. The seminary has been the chief social feature of the village through all those years, and many a romahce of interest to the whole country has emanated from that seat of learning where hundreds of young ladies now occupying enviable positions in society graduated with bizh honors. The founder of the institution, Mrs. Anna Sneed Cairns, is buliding a new seminary on @ site purchased some time ago on the Ulayton road on the south line of Forest Park, where tne walls of the structure are now being reared, But with all this the Kirkwood people are not pleased; at least, there are a good many of them who are not delighted with the pros- pect, and a discussion of the new project, with its fature probabilities, has led to much good-natured bantering between representa- tives of the two great political factions who dwell in Kirkwood and admire it so much. A great many of the property-owners out there are very much disgusted when they con- template the future and threaten to sell out at any price and move away, while others less pronounced freely admit that the effect of the Colored Manual Training School will first be telt in a depreciation of the value of property. Then again, those who have ieast to say condemnation take the position that the property has not been sold and become eloquent in explaining their views upon the absurdity of such a proposi- tion, citing many reasons why colored people could not and should not buy the premises. It is even hinted that the reputed sale is ‘‘simply a put-up job“ to effect a real sale of the piace to someone ata fancy price. OPINIONS OF RESIDENTS. Judge King says there is a good deal of feel- ing about the matter. The Democrats say they don’tobject tothe establishment ofa Colored Industrial School in a strong Repub- lican stronghold like Kirkwood, for they con- tend that when the negro is educated he will vote the Democratic ticket. The Judge has relations out there and among them some Southern ladies, and they don’t mind the biack school at all. It does not scare them at all. What worries the Demo- crats most is asuperabundance of sympathy | for their Kepublican neighbors ot Kirkwood, whe are extreme in their objection tosuch an institution. One ot the rampant Republicans gave vent to his indignation in the remark that by next spring there would be a picka- ulnny on every spear of grass in Kirkwood. Maj. Kimbal said he did not believe the col- ored people bad bought the seminary. The report that they were going to buy had been circulated for some time past and more evi- dence than anything he bad seen or heard of would be demanded by him and many others before they would believe it. The Major udded he was not bothering himself about it one way or the other. He had not heard that any one was willing to sacrifice his property in Kirkwood and move away from the place om account of the Colored Industrial School, and anyway the seminary was not at all adapted for such an institution. He did not believe that the colored people had bought it, and furthermore he said that he had been told ghat Mason G. Smith, who is Mrs. Anna &need Cairns’ attorney, had said that he did not consider the property sold. Mr. Mason G. Smith was the next man seen, and he very emphatically and with much in- dignation denied what had been imputed to hin. He said be had nothing whatever todo with the sale of the property, knew nothing whatever about it, and consequently could not have spoken of it in one way or the other. rHE REPORT DISCREDITED. II. L. Hyatt, ome of the Townp Board, yoiced the sentiment of other interested parties in the statement thatsuch an institution would have adepreciating effect upon the value of Kirkwood property, but he did not believe it had been sold. There was a good deal of indignation over the report, however, but as yet no action had been teken toward calling a meeting where vent could be given to the public indignation. He bald there was no help for it. This was a free country and there was no way to prevent the colored people from establishing their in- Gustrial achgol there. John Andrews, an ex-member of the Town Board, said he was among those who did not believe the property bad been sold to the colored syndicate. The report was simply a scheme to get others to buy the property. In conclusion be advocated a republication of the entire history, running over a course of several years, court trials, prosecutions, etc., which finally culminated io the sale of the Kirkwood Seminary. W. L. Themas, editor of the School ang Home, te familiar with all these: troubles and he argues that Mrs. Cairns, before and since she was married, andin fact ever since she first established the little schoo! at Rirk wood which developed under her mansgement into the Kirkwood Seminary, has done more to ad- vertise the town and advance its interest than anv other individual who ever lived there., She has ever been untiring in procuring notices in tne St. Louis papers at all seasons of the year about the Kirkwood Sem inary, and she bas been at the head and front of every temperance movement that has ever been etarted there. Her prominence in the onuse of temperance alone bas advertised the town of Kirk wood from the Atlantic to the Pa- cific, and the beauties and manifuld advan- tages Ofthe place as a healthful residence euburb of St. Louis has always been the theme for oneor more essays by the young lady graduates of her institution on commence- ment days HISTORY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS. In all the talk chat is belag indulged In over this question it is generally conceded that Mrs. Cairns rest offered her property for sale at $40,000 to the ayndicate of colored capital- ists and that while they were negotiating to buy it she proposed to sell it locally for $82,000. The idea that colored people wore negotiating to buy the place wag universaliy ridiculed as a scbeme only to indice others to pay a high price for the place. However, Mr. Swan, an old resident of Kirkwood, wae given the agency for the sale of the property and he says the best offer that he could get from the people of the town was $20, 000. Johnathan Taylor Brent, a well-known real estate speculator, is credited with having said that he could buy the property fer $26,000 but Mr. Calira says Mr. Brest made no such offer, or in fact no offer at all. Mr. Ewing, though, - whe is bullding some houses over on the bill, did make an offer of $25, tox the place, but no Importance was given the proposition by the owners. The only other preposition came from Mr. Dormitzer, a real estate agent of this city. He wanted a ten days’ option to buy the 22 for $24,000 on the plea that parties whom be thought would buy itat that price bad to negotiate the sale of some other property before they could raise the money to make the first .payment. From their statements it appears that the only gen- uine offer coming from white people was that of $20,000 made by Mr. Swan. George J. Davis, the attorney who nego- tlated the sale, went to Clayton yesterday and examined the title to the Seminary prop- erty, and on returning to the city made out the deeds, J.

John Piate’s Attempted Suicide and Hew His Life Was Saved. John Plate, Secretary and Treasurer of the Plate Eleetro-Depositing Co., of 916 and 918 Locust street, tried to commit suicide last night, and was only prevented from doing 60 by the promp taction of Patrolman Grass. That officer was on duty on Broadway, and nis attentlon was drawn to Plate who was loitering im front of Tony Faust’s restaurant. After some hesitation the officer approached Piate and asked what he was doing. The reply was the reverse of courteous and the officer had just decided to place the young man under arrest when Plate’s hand reached for his hip- pocket and brought out a box of cartridges; next he drew a revolver and before the officer realized what he was doing, pointed the weapon at his own head. Grass soized the would-be euicide’s hand and saved his life, Dut h took him a considerable time to overpower the desperate young man. Finally, however, Plate was disarmed and taken to the Chestnut street station. On being searched the following letter ad- dressed to his fatner, Mr. Tneodore Plate, was found on him: DEAR Para—Pardon me, as you did so often. Be- tween myself and Alwine stand her dear children.

After he had gone through the letter he remarked that it was just the sortot stuff he would expect froma man of Muldapn’s caliber, He continued: „Never mind. I'u meet that fellow in New York in a few days and I'll bet he will swallow everything he bas said about me. He can also make up bis mind that when we do meet he wili find that I can shoot about as well as he does. When Ido see him I'll have a gun in my pocket as well as himself.

I kicked as hard as I could against the arrangement, but Johns- ton persisted that Ishould ge with him, and Iwent.

It was not because I was afraid of Meidoon or that any harm would befalime. That ‘duck’ Is the BIGOEST CUR IN THE COUNTRY and any kid inthe land can whip him. He regrets having had anything to do with me. Well, he does not regret it as much as I do. Then again, he — * that he never wrote a letter tothe Mississippi authorities offering to turn SBtate’s evidences. I saw the letter and that is proof enough for me. In regard to my paying him for training me, he says that I did not give him the money— that it was Chariey Johnston that paid him. Well, that’s funny. I fought and won the money, and 1 do not see what right Johnston has to lt. It was I that paid the duffer, and ifthe truth was only known! paid him . 600. Resides that I paid all his expenses while he was with me; likewise Mike Cleary’s. Theres a fellow I don’t want ta rey anything about. He is a good fellow and Ike him. Igave him $400 after the fight, and offered to pay his and Donovan's fines, but they would not have it. Did X offer to pay Muldoon’s fine?’’ No, I would not be guilty of doing so much for him. did, however, do one thing for him, and I would not have done that but I was working to help another party. I had his (Muidoon’s), Cleary’sand Donovan’s fines re- duced. WhenlI would not let Muldoon goon a tour with me HR WENT TELLING LIES to people in different cities and towns about me. After he came back to New York he came crawling into my room and, like a whipped cur, said that he never told any stories about me. I asked him about the yarns published in different newspapers about me and which were his utterances. He said that he never said anything about me, but I know he did. So he’ll match Kilrain to fight mein Fort Worth? Weil, he and Kilrain will have no need to go beyond Long Isiand if they want to fight.’’ Is the Puritan Club going to offer a purse for you and Jake?’’ **] guese so, but I' fx that matter when I get to New York next week. I don’t care particularly whether I fight or not. Ican make more money outside of the business, and Imay not fight again.

A Second Marriage Ceremony Performed to Please a superstitious Bride. Fv Telegraph to the Post-DISPATCE. PEEKSKILL, N. Y., July 12.—It was made public yesterday by the filing of a certificate in the Bureau of Vital Statistics that Minna Irving and Irving H. Delamater were married for a second time on Saturday last by the Rev. Daniel McCartney. Mr. Delamater was for- merly acadetat West Point. They were first married on Friday, October 18, of last year. Miss Irving did not consider Friday a lucky day, but she had to consent to have a mar- riage Ceremony performed on that day because young Delamater could not get leave of ab- sence from West Point on amy Otherday. The couple and their friends discussed the ques- tiom as to whether there was anything in Fri- day being an unlucky day, and Mrs. Dela- mater became so worried over the matter that it was decided to have a second marriage ceremony performed, The case is probably one of the most unique on record, and consid- erable difficulty was experienced in inducing the Bureau of Vital Statistics to accept the certificate, as Miss Irving was confused when she was asked to say whether she was single, widowed or divorced at the time of the second marriage.

JACKSONVILLBS, III., July 12.— The mystery of the attempted kidnaping of the grandchild of Philip Becker is deepening.

Becker heard that his daughter was being ill treated and wrote to hertocome home. Schmel answered the letter, and a few days later arrived with his wife’s dead body and the two children. Shortly after his return he deserted the chil- dren, who were immediately taken by Becker and his wife. The baby died, but the other lived. A few dave ago an unknown man and woman tried to steai the child, but falled. It is now suspected that Schmal had much to de with bis wife’s death. He Is im St. Louis.
