Suddenly there was a sound of some one coming up the stairs in a great hurry, a manly form thrust through the crowd around the door aud Mr. Bienenstok felt himself siezed by the arm. THE BROTHER EJECTED. „»The best thing that you can dois to get right out of my house, sald James Rebman, the proprietor of the hotel. **I came for my sister,’’ said Bienenstok. Lou won't get her. You get away from here just as soon as you can. Come on nov.“ But 1 want to talk to ber,“ said Mr. Bien- onstok. „But you won't. Tou have no business to come into my house like this and raise such a row. Get out now, quick.’’ ‘*Yes, you get out of here,’’ said one of the young gentiemen boarders, as he seized Mr. Bienenstok by an arm while Mr. Rebman still clasped the other. He was led down the stairs in rather a hurried way amid the mur- murs of approval from those assembled. The grinning colored man atthe door opened it wide and Mr. Bienenstok bad such headway that he went through rapidly, receiving an undignified salute as he went out. Out of here, all of you, said Mr. Rebman with a move of his hand, and Dr. Keating Bauduy, accompanied by the two officers went out. They held a consultation for a few minutes and then went down the street after having dismissed the carriage. We will now wait for an order from the court before we do anything further,’’ said Mr. Bienenstok. LAWYER JONAS INTERFERES. Up stairs was all excitement. Mrs. Bienen- stok was on the verge of hysterics. Mrs. Frank was bathing her temples with cologne and soothing her with promises of protection. ‘I wish Il bad-a lawyer here,’’ murmured nog Bienenstok. He would tell use how to act. Mr. M. B. Jonas was down in the dining- room eating hisdinner. He was requested to come upstairs and at once responded. The din- ing-room being separate from the other part of the building the disturbance had not been heard in that part of the building. Mr. Jonas was told the story of the attempted capture of Mrs. Bienenstok and at once offered bis serv- ices as an attorney and general defender. I'm so afraid that they will bring the off - cers up and take me away, moaned Mrs. Bienenaiok. **They must have an order from the court to take you to an asylum and they cannot take you without it,’’ hesaid. ‘‘I will act as your attorney and I willsee that they do not take you without the proper procedure. The officers,’’ he continued, would have no right to come and take you away by force and they won’tdo it, either. Ifthey get you they will pass over Re.“ PROF. MYERS TOTHE RESCUE. ‘‘Wewilllfight against this injustice with our lives,’’ said Prof. Myers. It is an in- justice to'take her away without an order from the Court, and we will permit of no such an outrage.’’ Mrs. Bienenstok was assured that she would be protected, and she began to rapidly re- cover from her prostration. Mr. Jonas said: ‘‘Mrs. Bienenstock, if they take you they wiil pass over my dead body before they get you. Their proceeding is un- lawful and we will defend you. Thank you, gentlemen,’’ responded the almost prostrated little lady. Word was soon brought that the affair had been indefinitely postponed and quiet was soon resumed, They bad better not take her, said Mra. Rebman, who was fanning herself vigorously. It bad known the officers were in the house I would have put them outmyself. The idea! She is no more insane than I am.’’ THEY SAID SHE WAS SANE. When the bufiled brothers, physician and detectives announced that they had given up all attempts to secure possession of Mrs. Bienenstok by force, Mr. M. B. Jonas, who had been called in by Mrs. Bienenstok as her attorney, came down sta His face wore a look of d B ds of perspira- tion st out all over They have given it up, Mr. Jonas, salda by-stander. es, he replied. ‘‘They had to. I told them not to dare to lay a finger on that woman or I would resist them by force. If they want to take her they must do it legally, that is by order of the court. They cannot do itin any other way. I know too much about this matterto permit ber to be dragged off in that manner, and if Mrs. Bienenstok asks me to continue to defend her interest I will fight those men to the end. Do you think her mind is affected?’’ don't know. Ihaven’t given the matter a moment’s thought and besides I am not an expert. Dr. Bauduy as an authority stands as high as anyone in St. Louis, but any nervous woman who had endured what this woman has, might be driven mad. But her brothers have made contradictory statements which, in view of the circumstances, look very peculiar. Mrs. Bienenstok, as executrix of her husband’s estate, brought suit against Eiseman Bros.,the wool merchants, and I was the attorney for the Eisemans, Isadore Bienen- stok,Mrs.Bienenstok’s husband was asalesman for Eiseman Bros.and he received a salary and acommission on his sales. He allowed the commission to accumulate, and when he died the firm was indebted to him for commissions and salary for about $6,000 or $7,000. There wasamisunderstancing about the amount. Mrs. Bienenstok claimed one amount and Eiseman said it was less. Mrs. Bienenstok sued, but the suit was compromised, each side yiciding some $300 or $400. I had heard that Mrs. Bienenstok’s brothers sald she was insane and of course if she was it would not be proper for me to pay over money to her, so when Eise- man Bros. were ready to pay overthe money I went to the office of the Bienenstoks, saw every one of her brothers and asked every one of them whether I could pay the money to her and everyone of them said, ‘Oh, certainly. She is perfectly sane, there nothing whatever the matter with her.’ I told them to get me her receipt and 1 would pay the money. They brought me a receipt signed by her and I paid the money to her attorney. That was just six months ago and now they tell me that she hag been insane for fifteen months. I told Herm Bienenstok upstairs that that wouldn’t do and it won’t. Six weeks ago they all said she was perfectly sane and could re- ceive money; now they say that sbe has been insane for fifteen months. something wrong about that. Bienenstok, nervous and excited as she is by this pursuit of her to get her into an asylum may be a little eccentric, but goodness me! i meeta dozen people a day that Ithiak area little off; some who are so ecventric in their quiet moments that they seem to be insane, but they attend to their business and they are not confined in a mad- house. No. The 36, 000 I paid to Mrs. Bienenstok isnot all the money she has. She has some in the Bienenstok wool- house and her broth- ers are the custodians of it, and where there is a possible motive, the possession of an- other’s money, it would be a dangerous mat- ter to permit that person to be shut up in an insane 9 by those who have her money without the order of court. The court is the only proper authority forthe confinement of any person and if they want to get Mrs. Bienenstok in an insane asylum they must go through the Probate Court. After the occurrence at the Beers’ flats last night, Mr. Jonas accompanied Mr. Herman Bienenstok to the office of Dr. Bauduy to talk the affair over. Mr. Jonas was strongly in favor of Mrs. Bienenstok, and the argu- ments regarding her treatment by her broth- ers waxed warm. GONE WITH MRS. FRANK. A POST-DISPATCH reporter called at the Beers’ flats this morning to see Mrs. Bienen- stok and was told that she had gone to the home of Mrs. David Frank. The reporter called at Mrs. Frank’s house. Mrs. Bienen- stok was propped up on a bed chatting with several lady friends, and with the exception of a look otf weariness and pain about the eyes seemed none the worse for last night’s adventure. She talked freely and rationally, but was rather tired. Mrs. Frank says she can stay with her as long as she wishes to, and she shall never want for a home as — 00 she has one to offer. She says she would doas much againasshe did last night for Mrs. Bienenstock, or Hulda, as she calls her. Lawyer Mia Goldsmith acted as legal ad- viser for Mr. Herman Bienenstok last even- ing, but Mrs. Frank made bim beat a hasty retreat. Siegiried Bienenstok said last evening that the family had done all they could to heip her, but after her friends hav acted as they had they would wasb their hands of the affair. Dr. — es says be can prove tothe court that Mrs. Belnenstok Is insane, and will do so if such an action becomes u | ae Sa * * “eh 2 ee oa 1 “ 4 1 oy mY 2 8 . 2 Ney? “45 oe 5 ee N . 4 1 — attempt to take her away. which ill authorize even of a on Iknow of no law the confinemeus be insane, urt. I have no doubt that it has grown into a practice to confine insane peo- le on such certificates and when they are insane perhaps it is even when thas is dase the court would instantly release such a person on a writ of habeas: corpus. The only way in which even an in- sane person may be deprived of liberly is legal process. As to the financial part ot the affair, I suppose the Bienenstok broth- ers are respousible, and any financial dificalties could be adjusted in court. do not believe that Mre. Bienenstok is insane. She is no doubt suffer- ing from intense nervous excitement, but her memory is perfect, she remembers accurately the details of what has occurred, her perce tiop Is keen and her reasoning is y logical. When she came to see me I was surprised to see how she controlled herself when she was under such excitement. I think that any woman in her fix, harassed as be has been, would suffer from nervous excitement, too, particulariy a person of such a temperament as hers. Those of a less excitable disposition cannot appre- clate under whatastrain sucha woman as Mrs. Beinenstok is living, but make several attempts to catch a man to run him into an Insane asylum and you will find that he is dis- turbed, too.“ HERMAN BIENENSTOK MAKES A STATEMENT. Mr. Herman Bienenstok was seen to-day and said he desired to state that he considers his action ip regard to last night's ocourrence none other than could have been expected of a brother to his siter. He things he has acted concientiously throughout hia treatment of his sister and he says thas he feels that within a few weeks those who acted against him last night will feel thas they have wronged him as a loving brother. He further wished to say that his saying thas she was perfectly sane was due to the fact that out of perhaps an excessive family pride he bad desired to keep tue affair quiet. CHICAGO POOL-ROOM FIGHT. Ed Corrigan and the Peol Sellers Still Wage ing War on Each Other. CHICAGO, July 29.—There were some sensa- tlonal developments in the pool sellers’ war this morning and there is no mistaking the attitude of both sides. They are in for blood. At the Desplaines Street Station, Capt. Hayes marshaled his force for another attack on the Corrigan monopoly this afternoon at the West Side track. We mean business, said Capt. Hayes, ‘fand will go out there this afternoon and make those fellows come to time if it takes our whole force. If there are any broken beads it will not be our fault. Kd Corrigan was made aware of the attitude of the police, and his men are ready to defend what they term their rights, and a bigger foree of Pinkertons than ever will be on hand to resist any attempt to stop pool selling. Corrigan was not idle this morning, either. He gave orders to bis detective agency for the arrest of forty p:ol-sellers. This morning his attorneys filed with Judge Tuthillaleagthy application for an injunc- tion restraining Mayor Cregier and Chief of Police Maren in any way lin- terfering with selling of pools at th w Side track. The law pool selling is permitted, is ( startling charges are : that down-towna pooiselling ts com under the protee- tion of thea u Consideration of a : proportions nid the ssid 8 of babeas corpus fer the réiea Pool-Seller Dan Macarthy, who went in order to test the constitutionality of : room law.

PALMER AND PROHIBITION, The Nerth Dakota Convention—Renomi-« mated for Congress—Politics. SPRINGFIELD, III., July 29.—The Prohibi- tionists are holding a big camp- meeting ag Oak Ridge Park north of this city and yester- day expected all the candidates in the county to be on hand and address the meeting. The Probibitiow nominees were present, and the only other candidates who accepted the lnvi- tation were Gen. John M. Palmer. tho Democratic nominee for the United States Senate, and W. 8. Remine, the Republican candidate for County Superin- tendent of Schools. Gen. Palmer delivered a brief address in which he said he had ex- pected that the Prohibitioulsts would make a nomination for United States Senate, but in- asmmuch as they had not, he saw no reason why they should not support him. His re- mark is considered somewhat significant and his party friends are now explaining that he did not go to the meeting to solicit the sup- port of the cold water advocates. North Dakota’s Convention, GRAND ForkKS, N. D., July 20.—The Johnson caucus this forenoon selected Jesse Frye of Jamestown as temporary Chairman of the convention. It is virtually settled that Jonn- son will be nominated over Hansbrough. The Missouri slope delegations are solidly for Johnson. He claims 150 votes outside of the contestents, which is a large majority. Fancher and Burke are the leading candidates tor Governor. The anti-lottery sentiment is strong on both sides. Illineis Republican Committee. CHICAGO, III., July 29.—The Republicag State Central Committee met at noon to-day at the Grand Pacific Hotel. A. M.

ABITTER ATTACK ON SPEAKER REED BY STRUBLE OF IOWA. ‘The River and Harbor Bill to Be Taken Up on August 8—A Cabinet Meeting To- Day—Senateor Hoar’s Plea for the Elec- tion Bill—The Breckenridge Case—Wash- ington News. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—During the House debate, to-day, Mr. Strable of Iowa made a bitter attack on Speaker Reed for his action toward gentlemen interested in public building bills. He spoke of the Speaker’s manner as sneering, and contrasted it with the courteous manner of Mr. Carlisle when he was Speaker. He asked if the members would continue to submit like cowards to the Speak- er's dictation. His remarks were applauded vigorously by the Democrats. Claims a Big Estate. WASHINGTON, D. C., July . — The District Register has received a petition signed by Edward Coyle of Killy Lane, Eglington, County Derry, Ireland, laying claim to a share In an estate of $50,000,000, whieh the etitioner says has been left by Manassah Oyle of Pennsylvania. He claims that the Coyle family originated in Ireland and that Manassah Coyie’s forefathers emigrated to Awericain 1708 and settled in Tennsylvanis. Nothing is known ere of the Coyle estate. Bought Virginius Island. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—A syndicate composed of Representative Baker of New York, who has declined renomination, Mark J. Bunnell of Washington and W. W. Roches- ter of Rochester, N. Y., have purchased Vir- inſus Island near Harper’s Ferry. The sland has many natural facilities for flouring milis and there are now several located there. A stock company with a capital of $100,000 WII soon be formed and additional manu- factories will be built. The Breckenridge Case. WasnineTror, D. C., July 2%.—It was the expectation that the House Committee on Elections would be able this morning to dis- pose of the Clayton- Breckenridge election case, but a quorum failed to appear and-the matter went over until the next meeting. There was some growling among the Repub- lican members because the Democratic mem- bers of the committee who were in the Capftol did not attend the meeting and thus prevented the execution of the programme. The River and Harbor Bill, WasninoTon, D. C., July 29.—In pusuance to the understanding reached inthe Republii- can Senatorial Caucus last night, Senator Frye had a conference to-day with the mem- bers of the Finance Committee. It was agreed among them that on Friday the 8th of August, the river and harbor Dill shall be taken up for consideration and pressed to a determination, the tariff bill to be laid aside until it is disposed of. Mr. Oates’ Resolution. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—Mr. Oates of Alabama introduced aresolution reciting the charges made by the Farmers’ Alliance that millions had been spent in lobbying the sliver billthrough Congress, and calling for an in- vestigation. The Cabinet Meeting. WASUNarox, D. C., July 20. — The regular Tuesday Cabinet meeting is in progress at the White House to-day. The absentees were Secretaries Elaine, Proctor and Tracy, ali of whom are out of the city. Senator Hoar Disappolisated. New YORK, July 29.—The Herald's Washing- ton correspondent says: Senator Hoar wept tears of humiliation last night. He pleaded In vain for the immediate consideration of the force bill and used all his powers of argument and pathos to bring his colleagues inthe Re- publican Senatorial caucus to his wey of thinking. He said many changes had been made in the billand more would be made to satisfy conservative Senators. The hateful domiciliary clause, the partisan jury commis- sion clause, the brutal bayonet clause, would all be stricken outif only the Senate would pass something bearing the name of an election bill and carrying the Federal power into the local affairs of the Southern people. But the election bill was kicked from pillar to post by friends of other measures. They treated the election dill as an entirely subsidiary mess- ure. The members of the Finanée Committee wanted the tariff bill debated until it was passed, the friends of the river and harbor pill asked to have that considered, the advo- cates of a reorganization of the United States Courts urged that the subject’ be put on the list and some of the Western men wanted the land forfeiture bill taken up, bust the caucus was heid to determine the order of business, and it was finally decided that the tariff’ and appropriation bills shall have the right of way. There was only twen- ty-five of the forty-seven Republican Senators present and some of the strongest oppo- nents ofthe Federal election were absent. Their presence was not needed to show a supreme indifference among mostof the Re- publicane to Mr. Lodge’s deformed pet and their disposition to let it die the death of in- anation. It was admitted last night that the tariff and appropriatioo bills would take five weeks. Then posribly another caucus will be called to decide whether the force bill shall be taken up or some other pet measure ota Republican Senator. It will be too late to putthe election bill in force forthe autumn elections, andthe majority of the Senators are cager to bring the session to a close. — — — — IITII- IIS I CONGRESS, The Senate. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—In the Senate this morning Mr. Sherman offered a resolution for the daily meeting of the Senate at 10 a. m. The resolution went over until to-morrow. The tariff bill having been taken up, the mo- tion to reduce the rate on acretic acid (pend- ing yesterday) was voted down by a strict party vote. A similar motion regarding bo- racic acid was also voted down. Mr. Jones of Arkansas addressed the Senate in opposition to the bill. The Heuse, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—The House passed a joint resolution extending to the léth of August existing appropriations and laws tor such expenditures as have not been pro- yided for in bills passed. The House then wentinto Committee on the Whole on the Senate amendments tothe sundry civil ap- ropriation bill, the item under discussion eing one appropriating $250,000 for addi- tional accommodatioa for the Government Printing Office.

Bollman and the death of 1 The election will be held under the Australian system and the time for filing petitions has expired. In the First District the declared candidates are James Bannerman, Julius Bongner, and Joseph H. Kramer, while the Fourth Dis- trict has but one candidate in the person of Henry Bus. The First District is composed of the First and Third Warde and the Fourth of the Twelfth and Sixth Wards. In the latter district Bus will have a walkover, but a spirited contest is expected in the First, though it is believed that Mr. Bannerman will come out triumphant. At the board meeting to-night the Committee on Elections will report all the arrangements for the election, with the names of the judges and clerks, location of polling places and other details. The Committee on Rules will presenta re- port, with the indorsement of the Teaen- ers Committee, asking for the elec- tion of another assistant superintendent of schools. Supt. Long has but two assistants, and it is the opinion of the committee that there should be another. The board will, it is expected, pass favorably on the committee’s recommendation. Principals Geo. T. Murphy of the Clinton and Henning W. Prenties of the Hodgen schools are prominently mentioned for the place, and it is understood that one or the other will get It. The Rules Committee will also report the recommendation of some torty principals of schools asking that the afternoon session commence atl and close at 8 o’clock instead of from 1:30 to 3:30 o’clock as heretofore. The committee has decided to recommend the change. Interesting to Visitors, No one need spend a dull afternoon in St. Louis this summer.

HOW BAILROADS DISCRIMINATE AGAINST sf. LOUIS IN FAVOR OF CHICAGO The St. Louis Roads Decide to Retain the 40 Cents Tariff to the East, but Chicage Meets It With a Cut to 341-2 Cents— Chicago Favored in the Matter of Kates From the West, The local wool dealers are considerably dis- turbed to-day over the freight rates on wool. The west-bound roads have been making a lower rate to Chicago than to St. Louis, and as the tariff to New York from the village by the lake was only 50 cents, while it was 58 cents from St. Louls to New York, Chicago had decidedly the best of it in the matter of rates aud would naturally secure the bulk of the business. On the 2ist inst. the St. Louis roads East made a tariff of 40 cents to New York and 45 cents to Boston. This was done to get forthe St. Louis lines their proper share ofthe business. As soon as the St. Louis roads’ cut was announced, however, the Eastern lines out of Chicago sent word that if the rate here was not re- stored they would make a rate to New York of 3442 cents. FREIGHT COMMITTEE MEBTS. The St. Louis Freight Committee, which is composed of the roads running east from st. Louls, held a meeting to-day at which the matter came up for discussion. This meeting was held at tne office of Chairman Braisted, and there were present representatives from the Chicago & Alton, Big Four Line, Wabash, Vandalia, Ohio & Mississipp! and the Toledo, St. Louis & Kansas City. A telegram was received by them from Chicago stating that the Chicago Freight Committee ata meeting heid yester- day had decided to meet the St. Louls out by making a rate of 4% cents to New York from Chicago, and thatit was de- cided to make the rate from Upper Mississippi points to New York by way of Chicago 40 cents, the same as the St. Louis rate. This being the case, the St. Louis roads could not of course return to their former rate of 88 cents, and they voted to continue the present wool rate to New York. The Chicago rate of 34% cents will not go into effect until August 4 and the St. Louls rate of 40 cents only took effect yesterday. The former rate was 58 cents from St. Louis and 50 cents from Chicago. The rates between St. Louis and New York are 116 per cent of what the rate is between Chicago and New York, Thus a rate of $1 from Chicago to New York means arate of $1.16 between St. Louls and New York. In this ratio when the rate was 50 vents from Chicago to New York it was 58 cents between St. Louls and New York. And when St. Louls cut to 40 cents the Chicago roads retained this same proposition and cut to 34% cents. This cut is falr enough so far as the Eastern lines themselves are concerned, but it is ciaimed that Chicago secures much better tariff from the West than does St. Louis and in this way the wool dealers here get all the worst of it in the matter of rates. HAS CHICAGO AN ADVANTAGE ? Mr. Braisted alleges that St. Louis is now receiving as good rates on woo! all around as Chicago, but this is denied by the wool dealers, who claim that a much better tariff is made by railroads to the Viliage of Wind and that the latter will, in consequence, secure more wool in this manner than it would if it had to compete with St. Louls on equal freight rates. Although most ot the wool clip has been marketed, there is still large amounts ot it inthe West- ern territories awaiting shipment. This cut in rates will prevent a great deal of it coming to St. Louis which would otherwise be shipped here. The mer- chants allege that whenever St. Louis gets anything like a fair rate the Chicago roads make a still greater cut and give this city the worst of it. However, St. Louis has already received large shipments of wool this season and this fact is what ied the 8 roads to first cut rates from the est. THE WADE CASE, Mr. Frank Vaughn Comes to the Cougress- man’s Defense. By Telegraph tothe POST-DISrATcnH. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 29.—Your cor- respondent called upon Mr. Frank Vaughn this morning and asked him if he was offered $1,000 to retire from the race against Ed O'Day for the Legislature in Springfield. Mr. Vaughn replied that had been offered money to do 90, but not by Congressman Wade, as alleged by Mr. Duncan. Ihe Farmer!“ Congressman had talked about the matter of the offer to him, but never even insinuated that it was his wish that he (Vaughn) should retire from the race, He was firm in his delief that Mr. Wade was above doing any such act. He had known him a long time, had been inti- mately associated with him and in instances where the Congressman had been offered cash to obtain postmasterships,he knew the prop- Osition had been refused with indignation. The Congressman, he said, he had heard from lately, that he already had the renomination and would be re-elected. The attacks made upon Mr. Wade by Duncan and others, in his opinion, had red: unded to the Congressman’s benefit. On Friday next Mr. Vaughn will take the train for Springfleld to aid Mr. Wade in his cam- paign. He will make no affidavit in regard to the matter, as published. he ABOUT TOWN. Wm.

THEY WERE HEARD IN LAWYER JOHN J. O’CONNOR’S OFFICE THIS MORNING, Mrs. O. Brazieton Held the Handle of the Whip and Rained Blows on the Attor- ney’s Back—She Said She Had Been Wronged and Then Deserted—Failing to Obtain a Warrant, She Takes Her Own Revenge. A woman, closely veiled, stepped into the elevator of the old Times building, at the corner of Broadway and Chestnut street, this morning and asked to be let out on the fourth floor. The elevator stopped, the door was opened, she walked into the hall and entergd the office of a well known attorney. Some bitter words were spoken, they grew lounder and then the wo- man furiously attacked the attorney, and, drawing a cowhide, she proceeded to thrash him soundly. People ran in from the other rooms, and Officer Parle was called up from down stairs. He stopped the cowhiding, but refused to arrest the woman, though the at- torney requested that she should be locked up. The lawyer was John J. O'Connor and the woman was Mrs. O. Brazleton of 2227 Olive street. WANTED A WARRANT FOR DESERTION. _— Mrs. Brazleton called at the Four Courts yesterday and applied to the Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney for O’Connor’s arrest. When asked the grounds, she said that she had lived with O'Connor as his wife for nine years and was the mother of three children, of which he was the father. They had lived happily together and the lack of the usual ceremony had never marred their content. But another woman had come be- tween them. A Mus. Baird, who ves on South Fourteenth street, was the cause of their aisagreement which resulted in their separation. O’Connor had left her and re- fused to help her. She had his children to support and be would give her no ald. The warrant was,of course, refused, because Mrs. Brazleton admitted that she was not married to O’Connor, so the widow decided to take the matter in her own hands. She pre- pared herselffortbe visit and this morning went to hls ofiice.Mr. O'Connor suffers froma physical afiiction and is unabie to walk with- out crutches, but that dia not soften the heart ofthe widow who thought herself wronged and reflected on her injuries. Her tongue was not less sharp than her biows, and to bis face sne nounced O’Connor in language most forcible. He insisted that she should leave him, telling her that he wanted no trouble with her, but she must go. Then Mrs. Brazle- ton attacked him, she fought, scratched and whipped until people from the adjoining Offices were attracted and the policeman ar- rived. He quelled the disturbance and re- moved Mrs. Brazieton from the building. She insisted on telling her story tothe officer, but he led her away from the building and sent her home. O CONNER WON’T TALK. Mr. O'Connor was found inthe office some time after the occurrence, He did not look much the worse for his encounter except that a patch of skin was otf his face and his cuff was bloody. 1 do not wish to speak of this unfortunate affair,’’ he said, except to say that when she makes charges I will deny them if I deem them worthy of notice, I don’t wish to say anything against her virtue. AS far as I now she is a virtuous woman. That stcry about my living with Mrs. Baird is untrue. Iam very sorry for what has occurred, forlI have borne persecution for weeks rather than take any step which would lead to un- pleasant notoriety, and I regret that the weeks of suffering 1 endured have been with- outavail. I do not wish to say anything more. SOME OF THE CORRESPONDENCE. Mrs. Brazieton was found at ber home, 2227 Olive street, and in answer to a request for a statement from her of her side of the affair she said: es, I willtell you. Here is aletterI was just reading. You may wish to look at that, then I will tell you ali about it. The letter read as follows: St. Louis, April 16, 1885. My Poor Dear B. I cannot express, nor can you Imagine, how deeply pained I felt yesterday on leaving you. i returned home and stayed in my room all evening, and despite my greatest effort, I could not divest myself of the sad thought suggested by your helpless condi- tion. 1 Know you are lonesome aud itisa source of the greatest pain to me to know that it is impossible for me to be with you, but I am consoled and so must you be, 155 the thought that you will not be there Ong.

Thirty years ago the celebrated Rarey gained, fora brief space of time, the credit of having revolutionized the system of training horses for saddle and harness, but, in the long run, it was ascertained that, although Rarey’s personal influence over horses and his power of subduing the most unconquera- bly vicious of them to his will were beyond question, he could not pass his powers on to his pupils. Some plained his feats, which attracted much at- tention, by attributing to hima kind of mag netic power over animals; others asserted that he possessed a secret which he had kept absolutely to himself, and the controversy raged long and flercely upon the subject. But whatever tne true explanation of Rarey’s * may have been, the fact remains that e came and went, and that the traditional methods of the horse breaker are now, to all intents and purposes, identical with those which were used before Karey’s name had been heard. That they are not the best methods concely- able no man familiar with horses will be in- clined to deny. Maklag a mouth, accord- ing to the established practice, is a cruel busi- ness and contrary to pature; it cannot be right to mutilate the most sensitive part of the au- mal in order to obeythe rein. The innumer- able vices of trained horses, the ease with which all but the most steady of them are startled, and the frequent occurrence of ac- cidentsdue solely tothe fact that horses are frightened by things for their fearing which no reason exists, gofar toshow that the es- wtablished method is but a pis aller, a method used for want ofa better. And the process is enormously expensive. Few people have lived in country districts without becoming aware that horse breeding —a pursuit which the highest authorities do their best to encourage—is frequently eschew- ed by farmersand others because, although they have the material at their disposal, they find that the tedious process of breaking runs away with the profits, even when it succeeds, and that failures are plentiful. It follows, as of necessity, that it is important to observe with scrupulous care every effort which is made to introduce improvements into a sys- tem which stands in sad need of reform. An Australian horse tamer, Mr. Sydney Gal- vayne, is now exhibiting and teaching his method of training horses inthe Wellington Riding School. He has been in this country for some time, confining his operations for the most part to those districts of Northern Britain in which the passion for horse flesh is most strongly pronounced, and in the course of bis wanderings he has certainly succeeded in inspiring with confidencea large number of competent judges. A selection from the list of patrons begins with the name of the Queen, and includes those of a large number of peers known for their judgment of horses and those ofs great num- ber of wilitarv men aud masters of hounds. It appears from it that he has also succeeded in impressing other classes of men who have exceptional opportunities of studying horses. In it figure the names of trainers, jockeys, country doctors and many gentlemen en- entitled to affix totheir signatures the letters F. R. O. V. 8. and M. R. ©. V. N. Mr. Galvayne bas twice exhibited his method in London. On Thursday of last weok, after an interesting lecture on the den- tition of horses, he produced an unbroken chestnut, mentloning the name of the owner, which had been under bis instructions for. fiity minutes only. Ihe animal bad all the appearance of gentie character, but the rapMity with which it was induced to bear harness, saddle and rider Was marvelous. On Saturday evening the same animal! was ugain brought into the ring before a number of crit- ical persous and was subjected to a number of severe but perfectly humane tests. A pole was allowed to fail on her quarters; she did notatir. It was brought against ber from be- hind and against ner stomach in order to simulate as nearly as might be the condition of things when a vehicle runs ou to a horseor a broken shaft strikes it. Crackers were fired from asack lald upon her back; whips were cracked around her; she remained unmoved, Then, on Saturday, a thoroughbred Gliybe- longing toa gentleman in Oxford street and introduced to Mr. Galvayne as an animal which defied all attempts to mount her, was shown. Her nervous wildness was obvious; it had been said none could hold her wien she was belug mounted.

LS — —— — — A VICTIM OF DRUGS, The Pitiable Plight of a Fermer st. Louis Physician in Cincinnati. Dr. Calvin M. Case, a young physician who formerly practiced his profession in this city, has been having some exceedingly rough experience in Oincinnati, according to the newspapers of thatcity. Dr. Case up to afew years ago had an office on Washinston av- enue and made a specialty of treating the morphine, chloral and other habits. He d,it appears,been addicted to the morphine d cocaine habits, and after being treated or some time became much better, and it was believed that a cure had been effected. Case, it seems, believed himself that he bad been He then opened an office and adver- tised for patients desiring relief from uch pernicious habits. According to the | statements of his acquaintances he fell back Into the old rut and again resorted to the use ‘ofthe drugs which it was believed he bad orever. He abandoned his prac tice and leftthecity. Nearly a year ago he was heard from in a Baltimore hospital. He had been picked up while wandering about ‘the streets in a terrible physical condition. The latest tidings from the unfortunate physician came from Cincinnati. Afew days ago he was found wandering onthe outskirts and sent to a hospital for treat- ofthe cit large dose of ment. He had taken a very cocaine and was in a dangerous condition when be reached the hospital. He said on his recovery that he formerly lived in this city and practiced his profession until he fell a victim tothe use of drugs. Dr. Case ie believed to be the son of a well-to-do phy- 82. who formerly lived in St. Louis County, but latterly removed to the West, supposably to California. — — A Boon to the City.

WATER cures gravel and „ * 1 wre i + THE DOSsT INQUEST. The Charge Against Mr. John H. Deuglass Withdrawn. The inquest yesterday onthe body of John Dost ended in a verdict to the effect that death was the result of inflammation of the brain of unknown origin, there being no evidence of external violence. From the testimony and Mr. Douglas’ own evidence it appears that Dost worked in the Knapp- Stout Lumber Yards. One day about three weeks ago Dost was unsteady and although cautioned dropped and broke a valuable door panel. Mr, uglass picked up one ofthe ng — and hitting Dost with it told him he had better go home. The man turned and said he was sick, whereupon Mn Douglass took him to the foreman and suggested bis be- ing given lighter work. But Dost was soon obliged to go home Il. Tue evidence seemed to show that Mr. Douglass did not strike in anger 4 and he certainly aid not b him on the head; also that Dost seemed sick and lightheaded before the incident. Medical evidence was also called in and the result the verdict was as stated. Mr. Douglass ex- plained his statement that he did not know Dost by saying he was not familiar with his name.

George McKenzie, James Smith and John Wheelan were brought up ln the First District Police Court this morning to answer charges disturbing the peace. They are newsboys in the employ ofa man named Mike Murphy, who because of improper conduct was de- prived ofthe privilege of selling the PosT- DISPATCH. Murphy then hired these boys to stand in front ofthe Post-DISPATCH building and yell in the door and make as much noise as possible. The mercbants inthe vicinity reported the annoyance which they were sub- jected to and the police arrested the boys. As fast as one would be removed another would be substituted.

A PUGILIST BEATEN. A Colored Bully Severely Thrashed by a Pelice Officer. Henry Masse, a colored man who has a repu- tation among his friends as something rather grand in the way of pugilism, got knocked out yesterday. His first adventure was with Sergt. McGrew, whom he found in his usual seat when he called to get the Mayor to order the release of a woman now in the Work-house. The Sergeant is a man of peace, but when Masse tried to bully him the interview came to a speedy termination and the colored pugllist found himself outside the office. He next wentto Secretary Bren- nan’s house, whence he was ejected by Officer George Shaw. Shaw had a hard fight with Masse, but finally overpowered bim and put him under arrest. FATAL JEALOUSY.

Mott street her assistance, THE SONORA MERCHANTS, was stirred up to the cellars and Bayard, Mul- berry and Pell streets were so worked up as to compel a cessation of the laundry business. There were rumors of murder and nobody cared much; then it was whispered that an- other Chinese girl had been torn from the arms of her owner by the police, and the Celestialsonly winked stolidiy, and then a heathen who knew just what the matter was explained it and immediately there wus the greatest sort of clatter and fuss. The fan-tan game that had been running so long in the cellar of a lodging house — * be considered a fixture, was } threatened with dissolution. That was what was the matter, and matter enough it was, Three bad heathens haa beaten the game to the extent of $500 and Hip Lung, tbe boss of the game, had come upon the sidewalk and spoken some Chinese cuss words. It appeared that shortly before, three Chinamen in all the beauty of their native dress and with long Plaited queues dangling dewn their backs, bad pattered soberly into the cellar and taken seats at one of the tables. They were in good bumor for Chinamen, and they told Mr. Lung that they came from Jersey, and when Mr. Lung complimented them on the taste they displayed in getting out of Jersey they said ‘‘Hi, hi, hi,“ which is Chinesefor a hearty laugh. Pretty soon the three strangers lost $50, and this pleased Mr. Lung, who understood fan-tan from the ground up. For the benefit of the barbarians who may not understand it, and to enable them to appreci- ate the devilish cunning of the Jersey China- men, this explanation of it is given: The game is played on a square table in the center of which is a plece of bright tin which is square, and which has on its sides the figures 1, 2, 3 and 46. the dealer buys of the owner ofthe place, which in this instance was Mr. Lung, a pile of Ubinese coin. He takes from this pile of coin a bund- ful and places it on the table in front of him. Then he takes from this pile of coin four of them at atime untilthere are uot, cnough of them to count four, or until they are all gone. Previous to this the players have placed their bets. Ifthere are three coins left over the Player who has laid his money on the figure 3 gets three times the amount of his bet, and the same odds it he bets on any of the other figures and the number of coins leit over cor- responds with this number. If he places his money between the z and 3, for instance, and there are either two or three coins left over, he wins as much money as he bet. Well, the game went on, and after the three Chinamen made $70, filling the heart ofthe dealer with Rreat joy, one of them carelessiy threw a pocket-book between two of the figures. He won and the dealer picked up the pocket- book to see how much wasinit. He found only $5 and instantly handed the player 35. This orth B SENT TO ST. CHARLES.

The purchase of silver bullion under the new silver law will begin September 13 and continue at the rate of 4,500,000 ounces per month, or 80 much thereof as may ehe offered in each month at the market ‘‘price.’? Of course this authorizes the Secretary to refrain from purchasing when no silver is offered at what he con- siders the market price But the proba- bility is that the full amount will be taken, and that the entire output of our mines, about one-half of the world's annual supply, will thus be locked up at home. Such a gigantic corner on silver ought to raise the market price by its own force and private speculators will help it do soby purchasing and storing silver for a share in the profits of the cor- ner. One New York bank is said to have 7,000,000 ounces stored in its vaults already, and other banks are said to be accumulating large stocks. But antici- pations of arise will stimulate produc- tion, no one knows how much hoarded silver will be precipitated on the mar- ket bya considerable rise, and ne one can tell how gold-bug strategy and bull“ and bear“ operations will affect the outcome of our Government’s big corner . : e 8 is ting about 20 ears ol inches tall, of medium bull —— 42 a * straw hat rt sleeves. i Kistem offer a reward of $50 for his — 8 xn DISPATCH PUBLISHING co., JOSEPH PULITZER, President. — — Inspections of Local Manufacturing Estab- lishments Continued.

That element among the striking walters which advocated the abandonment of the | strike found itself a minority in the meeting at the Trades & Labor Union building yester. day afternoon. In consequence the strike ig still on. The leaders who agitated fog a strike and who have deen active in the management of the union's affairs are not ready to confess failure, par. ticularly as promises of financial assistance from many unions and assembiles have been received. So the strike continues to exist but what its object can be or what ite purpo on earth, it would take more than the fluent talking leaders to tell. Ihe employment of non-union men apn girls in the restaurants whereistrikes occurred reduced the chances of employment for the strikers to a very small number. These chances have all been taken by secessions from the union of married men who were compelled to seek employment to support their families and by men who believed the strike could not win. In ordinary times, when there is no strike, there are enough vacancies in the restaurants in St. Louis to absorb all the waiters who come tothecity. The crews are being con- Stantly changed by the caprice of the men or of the employers, or the fault of one or both. A union walter, whothis morning decided to get work, said he had applied at the four principal restaurants employing white mer and found full forces in all. The Grand, Commercial, Elmire, Famous, Sprague (Union Market) and Delmonico Res- tuurants are fully supplied with white male waiters, the proprietors say, and of their crews twenty-two are known to be union men who were forced to find work to support themselves and families. As stated yes- terday, eighty-seven places formerly held men ad been closed to them by the employment of girls. The Lindell Hotel proprietors last night decided to employ girls in their dining-room, and some forty-five were notified to report to-day. Nearly all reported, as did aleo a large num- ber of the colored crew which struck a week avo last Friday. The latter had succeeded in keeping away from the hotel other colored men who had been engaged to take their places, expecting that the hotel owners would thus te compelled to agree to sign the con- tract they offered. Whenthey heard of the “ewe es ‘on The programme for to- day inthe railroad war was to open in Judge Dillon’s court, where weighty arguments were to be made as to the power of Judge Dillon to appoint com- missioners in the case of the Merchants’ Terminal against the Missouri Pacific before he passed on a motion fora change of venue. The Missouri Pacific wants to get out of town with all suits entered against it in Blaine on the Tariff. From the Philadelphia Times. Mr. Biaine is ight in his judgment of the pending tariff bill. There is not a line of It that will open a market for another bushel of wheat or another barrel of pork. On the con- trary, its only effect must be to narrow the markets forall our products. Mr. Blaine is unquestionably right in his specie objection to the removal of the duty on sugar, while maintaining or increasing all other duties.

Cemmerce a Crime. From the New York WORLD. The President has sent to Congress the odds and ends of the Pan-American Congress’ re- suits touching patents, trade marks and the like. Mr. Blaine bas already intimated to Congress the more important truth that the passage of the McKinley bill will render nuga- tory the primary purpose of the Pan-Ameri- can assemblage, which was to encourage commerce between this country and its neighbors. The McKinley bill is founded upon the theory that commerce is a crime. 1 — Weather forecast for twenty-four last chance atthem.

He stands for protection the Southern States, chiefly through im- migration from the North. This, of course, will bring about a stronger repre- sentation in the House of Representatives and in the Electoral College, and if the South is to continue to send Democrats to Congress the already narrow majority of the Republicans will. be imperiled. Re- publican majorities in the Northern States are no longer matters of course, and the voting population added during the last decade is not so docils as men of the Reed sort would like. In the New England States wherever there is an in- crease at all it has been in the cities which’ have taken to voting Demo- ofats into Congress with surprising regularity. Maine, now represented in Congress by five rural Republicans, will probably be deprived of one of them by an actual decrease in population. Mas- sachusetts may lose two while Rhode Island and Vermont will probably be cut down each toone member. The effect of this will be to .confer relatively greater strength upon the cities of New England, which are becoming hopelessly Demo- cratic.

Tux fact that Chicago has fifty-one dif- ferent post-offices and postmasters should not surprise any one. Itis the natural result of her wholesale annexation of Illinois towns.

A BOLD FORGER. He Alters Three Checks in the Presence of His Employers. By Telegrawh to the POST-DISPATCH. NEW YORK, July 29.—Inspector Byrnes’ men have been looking for Thomas T. Graff for more thania week. According to Stewart & Parker, brokers at 60 New street, Graff was their confidential man until July 19. He lived in Newark, was a single man and was not known to have any vices. Mr. Parker said last night that Graff was painstaking and con- scientious, never grumbled at overwork and paid the closest attention to business. The firm set great store by him, for he was a novelty to them. Their first confidential clerk, an Englishman, fellin love witha pretty Amer- ican girl, attempted to shoot her at her house because she would not marry him, and then committed suicide. His successor and Graff's predecessor went mad in a row boatin New York Bay. On Saturday, July 19, Mr. Stewart drew three checks on the German-American Bank amounting to $1,513. They were drawn to the orders of three insurance companies. Mr. Stewart gave the checks to Graff and told bim to see that they were delivered. Graff took the checks into the next office, the door of which was open, and, according to Mr. Parker, while talking with his employer, removed the names of the pavees from the checks by means ot acids. Then he wrote the word ‘‘bearer’’ on two of the checks and hisown name on the third. Mr. Stewart sat only a few feet away from him all the time and Graff kept talking in the most natural manger about business affairs. When the work had been completed Graff went around to the bank and had the check bearing his own name certified. The other two he had cashed. He returned to the oftics and told Mr Stewart that the com- had been paid. {lit was a haif holiday and the office closed at noon. In the afternoon Mr. Stewart ran across Graff up town. Graff had asmall valise and when Mr. Stewart asked him where he was going, re- plied that be intended to visit his boat club, but would be at his office early on Monday. He did not come on Monday and on Tuesday a letter was received from him in which he con- fessed all. Mr. Stewart attempted to stop the payment of the third check, but he found that he was too late. The bank accepted the loss, as it wus legally liable.

Confidence wus what restored in the dealer’s by observing that the Jersey men kept on playing, but it was rudely shattered a few minutes later by another one of them trying N work the same game with another pocket- book. Then there was a kick, and the Jersey- men wisely pattered away. The dealer went out and told his friends about his loss, and they assured him that Hip Lung should be held responsible. So he went back to the game with bis friends and argued the matter with Hip and tried later to assault him on the sidewalk. Hip positively declines to be responsible, and defies every Ilish““ police- man in New York. some- HAS HE FLED?

Had not the respondents in a writ of habeas corpus filed last Saturday taken an un- expected action yesterday afternoon, Judge Withrow in the Circuit Court would have been compelleitosettiec the somewhat novel and no less difficuit question of an in- fant chitd’s maternity. The petition was filed by A. Burgess, the colored attorney, on behalt of Lacy Brooks and the writ issued commanded An nile Hamilton and John Ham- ilton to bring the body of the 1-month- old child, called William Brooks, into court to show ceuse why they should retain it in their possession. The story isa somewhat peculiar one. It appears, however, that a month ago last Fri- day, Lucy Brooks, an unmarried colored girl living on St. Louis avenue, gave birth atthe Female Hospital toa male child which she took with herto her home. Two weeks later, a middle-aged colored woman appeared at the hospital saying that she wanted to adopt a eolored child. She was directed to Lucy Brooks’ home, where afterastormy scene with her father, the young mother finally consented to give away her babe. The stranger gave her name as Mrs. Williams and said she lived over in lilinols. She took the child away, promising to write tothe mother every week in refer- ence to the child’s condition. Ten days passed and nv lettercame. The mother be- came anxious and hunted up ‘‘Mrs. Will- She found herin the person of Mrs. Hamilton, living at 1517 Lucas avenue. Mrs. Hamilton positively refused to give up the child, ana when the mother threatened to use force ordered her away from the place. The mother returned on last Thursday with her father and met both Mr. and Mrs. Hamil- ton. Both claimed the child as their own. Attorney Burgess was at once called into the case and the petition for a writ of habeas corpus followed. On Sundsy the babe was delivered by Mrs. Hamilton at Lucy Brooks home and yesterday the habeas corpus pro- ceedings were dismissed. . It now comes to light from Mrs. Hamilton's own confession that Mr. Hamilton was an innocent victim of a family conspiracy of which his wife was the ring-leader and in which Lucy Brooks’ child played an impor- tant part. On the evening of the day on which Mrs. Hamilton first obtained the child, Hamilton, who ee porter im a West End residence, returned home to find his wife in bed with the chiid at her side. He was assured by his wife that she had that morning given birth to the babe and he or- fully accepted the immense responsibilities devolving upon a newly made parent. It was not until the writ of babeas corpus Was served that liamilton suspected the scheme. Mrs. Hamiiton then confessed her part in the plan. They are Going.

CONNOR'S THRILLING STORY. „1 must confess that I am not a poker player, and have not lost any time at the card table, said Capt. Connor, of the St. James Hotel. 4 magnificent Mississippi River steamer was on her way to New Orleans with a cabin full of passengers going to Mardi Gras. The usual brass band that played stir- ring airs at each town landing was aboard. In the cabin were passengers from all points along the river, and some from distant cities. Of course there was poker playing in the social hall in the gentiemen’s cabin, which was in the front part of the steamer. ‘*‘When the boat landed at Natcheza big game was in full blast. A stranger, tall, handsome and well dressed, came aboard. He bad an honest, open countenance and won confidence the minute any one looked at him, After be had registered atthe clerk’s desk Watterson’s Little Joke on Florance. and been assigned to a stateroom, be lit a cigar and slowly sauntered around. When he came to the table where the biz game of poker was being played co eat-dawn tehin4 one of the players, “Now, it happened that the man he sat be tud was not a professionali gambler, but his opponent across the table was a black- teg Of the most expert and cunning kind. The non-professional, though, had plenty of money and bet freely. The bandsome stranger sat quietly behind the non-profes- sional anc gave pointers to the gambier oppo- site. Hedid it in such quick and telegraphic Way that no one saw, or even suspected him. The gambler, though, saw and under- stood his signs thoroughly. Finally the non- professional player began to lose. If he hada good hand the gambler would either pase out or det and win. The stakes were raised and several thousand dollars were on the table in one pot. After the non-professional had dealt the cards he picked up his hand and found four hearts anda club. The antes and raises were too high togo out and so he drew one ecard to a flush and the gambler drew four cards toa king high. The latter didn’t match a pairand the fush was not made. In an in- stant the tall stranger communicated the fact to the gambier that his opponent had a bob- tall fush and only queen bigh. Betting began in a bluffy kina of way by the cambler, put- ting up a coo! $1,000. The non-professional! gaw it and went $2,000 better. They kept raising each other until $10,000 was up, when the gambier was called. He took in the money witha king high and the game came to an end. be next morning the tall, handsome Stranger was strolling on the hurricane deck when he was met by the gambier, who ro- nested the pleasure of ineeting him alone in tis (the gambier’s) stateroom. When they arrived there the gambier carefully bolted the door and said: ‘Now, pard, I wish to divide with you. Here are $5,000, haif of our win- mings.’ The tall stranger drew back indig- nantly and replied: ‘I do not understand you. What do you owe me $5,000 for!’ Then the gambier explained that he alwavs divided with other professionals who gave away the bands of gentiemen at the card table. With- out being embarrassed in the least the stranger said: ‘I just gave you pointers be- cause I happened to sit behind that man. If! had been behind you I would have given your hand away totbe other fellow. That is the Way do; I don’t want any money.

He held four aces, an invincible hana, and yet the gambler evidently knew what he was doing to bet so large asum. The lawyer counted out $2,500 but did not putit up.

Well, the gambler’s four-ace trick was exposed and the game closed by the lawyer denouncing bim as a bDiackleg and cheat. It takes nerve to keep from betting four aces. Only a shrewd lawyer would have detected the trick.’’ DE WOLF HOPPER HAS BEEN THERE. De Wolf Hopper, the comedian, says: II there is any game that will bring out one’s true nature, it is draw poker. I do not speak as a coy neophite for I have dallied with the golden possibilities of ajack pot until my bet- ting nerves have almost shaken like a real Aspen tree. The opera company I was with last season was en route foracity out West, and afew of us whiled the tedium of the journey away by playing draw poker. Five were in the game, Eugene Oudin, Stevens, my manager; Cripps, Digby Bell and myself. The betting limit was $2 and 1 can just tell the uninitiated that it does'nt take long to lose $50 or $100 at a $2-limit. Oudin knew nothing about the game. He knew when he had paire, but be did not know their betting value, and eo when he would pass out we breathed easier. It is hard to bet against a green player. He is liable to show up a big hand that would paralyze the scientific player aud upset all calculations. A green poker player is like a mule, you pever know when or just how hard he is going to kick you, but sooner or later you get kicked. „„As the cars with their incessant rattie,rat- tle and dumpety, dump, dump, rushed over miles of the tracks it became wore and more apparent that Oudin was one of the most collossal verdant players. that ever shuflled a card. Imagine bow Stevens, Digby and I felt playing with an amateur that upset ali of our scientific calculations. Yet we played and Bell was a loser. Naturally he was champing on the bit, anxious to get a big bet and retrievs’* his losings. The opportunity came soon. A hand was dealt and tne S wall antes put up. Allofus passed out ex- eépt Bell and Oudin. The former drew three cards to tvo aces, and got two more aces... A perspiration of delight gathered upon Bell’s brow and jocularity almost bubbled from him, so secure be telt in being able to win back a large sum from Oudin. Bell gathered upa number ofchips, putthem down as if he was uncertain Whether to bet or throw up his nand and finally, in a nonchalant way, pushed upaS$2chipasahit. His face assumed a ser- lous look, aserio comic caricature study for The Fall of Richmond Announced. an ariist, ashe watched Oudin. His idea was that Oudin would raise him and he (Bel!) would keep coming back until he completely swamped Mr. Oudin. The latter put down a brand-new $2 bill and said: ‘Icall you.’ Bell arose, throwing his four aces on the table and ashe didso Oudin placed bis band in view, revealing a king full, and in the king full Oudin had called Beill’s two-dollar det.

He ie breezy, and has a dashy way that no one can resist admir- ing. heard of a game of poker be played where he was sadiy caught on a big biuff. He was atthe tabie with Mr. J. P. Dougherty, whom everybody in this city ought to know if they do not, and several other Orst-ciass players. The mere fact that Watterson was in the game was suffi- cient to indicate that big stakes were now and then placed on the table. It was jack-pot poker, and now and then the pot became aiarmingly large. But Watterson did not grow dizzy, and he bet with cavalier sang froid. The fact is, the great editor’s poker nerve is the admiration of thousands of play- ers. His face does not change, no matter if he is betting high on a bobtailfiush. Some one opened the jack pot and Watterson and Dougberty came in, each drawing three cards. When it came Watterson’s time to bet he coolly — up $100. The jack pot contained several hundred besides, and no one wanted togive up at onoe, But the assured way in which the editor put up his bet caused all to drop ovt except Dougberty. **He saw the bet and raised it another hun- dred. Watterson never besitated, but went another hundred better. All the others at the table began to feel serry for Dougherty, for they — that the editor had a big win- ning band and was drawing his opponent on. After three one-bundred-doliar bets bad been made Dougherty, to the astonishment of those resent, called Watterson. The latter put his and on the table and showed that he had been betting on a pair of deuces. Dougherty raked in something like §1,000 with a puir of sevens. Every one present admirea the editor’s blumug nerve, but great praise was bestowed upon Dougherty for his unbounded confidence inapair of sevens. No one can tell when Watterson is blutung or betting on a big hand, and that is one reason why he is such a great player. JAKE SHARP AND WIS FRIENDS UPSET. Well, I have seen some big poker games at Albany while Ives an Assembiyman,’’ says Smith M. Weed. The most amusing game of poker I know of occurred during the war at the Delavan House, Albany, in room 454. The late Jacob Sharp of Broadway surface rali- road mptoriety, was the occupant of room 454, and he\gst around the table with Ha’ Genet, Henry Smith and others whom Ido Wot care to mention. Of course there was a et deal of war excitement and the Federal forces were hammering away at Richmond, Va. These A 2 wore locked in and betting heav- ly. hey were oblivious to war and rumors of war while engaged in such an absorbing game. The news came that Richmond had fallen and a certain Assemblyman rushed along the corridor with several othersto the door of room 454. Finding it locked, in an instant the Assemblyman was boosted to the skylight or transom just above the door. He got half way in, balanced for a brief moment, and without warning his friends pushed him head- long into the room. He fell right across the center of the table, the chips flew in every direction, and $5,000 in bills tumbled all over the floor. The legs of the table snapped in two like étraws, andthe lucky Assemblyman was on his feetinan instantunhurt. At that moment the door was pushed open, and be- fore a dollar could be picked up the room was filled with men. The poker players got their money, but great excitement prevailed, and much amusement was extracted from the players, who, of course, did not fancy the rude way they were interrupted, even if Rich- mond bad fallen. ' BILLY FLORENOB HAS AN EXPERIENCE.’’ ‘*While poker is considered a national game, I must confess,’’ said Billy Florence, the actor, that Ibave seen it played chiefly as an international way, i. e., on board Brit- ish steamships carry ing American passengers. I only play cards en route to Europe to pass away the time—nothing else, and then do not gamble. Once, some years ago, I was laying a theatrical engagement in Louisville, Cy. and I was Invited to visit and participate in the late supper after the performance was over. Among those who were to be at the supper was Henry Watterson. The theatrical periormance was very long and it was after midntgut when I reached the bachelor apart- ments. I had no sooner arrived than I noticed some little excitement among the gentlemen present. It seems that a game of draw had ended and a count was being made of moneys. I bad no alternative but to walt developments and they came soon enough. A big dispute arose across the table and in an instant Watterson was on bis feet, pistol in hand, and trying to ali at his antagonist, a well-known geptie- man. I knew that biood was going to be shed right there, soI jumped up and threw my arms around the editor. Others caught his arm and threw itupso ifthe pistol were dis- charged it would only damage the ceiling. ‘*The other gentleman was ferocious, and although he was held by strong men I thought he would break loose every second and fire right into us. Great beads of perspiration stood out upon my forehead. I plexded with the Kentuckian not to sboot; that he would regret it. The more 1 pleaded and tried to keep his pistol arm up the more he attempted to break away. Every instant Lexpected to hear the crack, crack of revolvers and to see the reeling form of a man perforated with a large bullet. I pictured the direful conse- quences and the blame. Tbe latter would partially, at least, rest upon me, because I was ths guest of the evening and the gathering was in my bonor, In our struggle to keep the men apart tables were overturned, chairs were knocked down and the money on the table somehow disap- peared like magic. fFinally—I caught Wat- terson’s pistol in my hand; and then the la- mentable truth flashed lixe an electric shock through me, to-wit: Iwas being guyed and the whole fight was concocted to fool me. The pistol was nothing but a boot-jack, one that is small and when folded resembies the shape ofa pistol. I was completely taken in, and I need scarcely say that the ‘smiles’ were on me. That was the most exciting game of poker that I ever indulged in.“ TOM OCHILTREB’S ‘‘BIG’’ GAME. „One of the largest games of poker I ever heard of was played by Col. Tom Ochiltree,’’ says ex-Congressman Wise of Virginia. The auburn-haired Texan was then upholding the dignity of a large portion of Texas as Re pre- sentative in Congress. Occasionaliy he de- voted afew evening hours to theseductive game of poker with a number of congenial Congressmen. One morning Col. Ochil- tree appeared among his colleagues looking rather fatigued, but bis conversational! animation was inno measure impaired. He said in bis off-hand way: ‘Well, I have hada great night with the boys. I never played such a game of poker before in all my life. For atime it looked as if Il were going to be a seeond Monte Cristo. I bet often andi bet heavily, andI won. It was a great game, and I shall never forget it. Yes, llost $15,000 when the game ended. Gentlemen, the worst part of it was that $10 was in cash! When Tom finished there was unbridied hilar- ity, of course, and no one doubted his thriiling poker story. AFRICA’S DWART BELLES. Said to be Gracetal and Prepessessing, Though They Wear Ne Clothes, Explorer Stanley’s new book contains the following description ofa belle among the African dwarfs: At this settlement, Ugar- rowwa’s station, I saw the first specimen of the tribe of dwarfs who were said to be thickly scattered north of the Ituri, from the Ngalyu eastward. She measured 83 inches in height and was a perfectly formed young woman of about 17, of a giistening and smooth sleekuess of body. Her figure was that of a miniature colored lady. not wanting in a certain grace, and her face was very pre- possessing. Her complexion was that ofa ouadroon, or of the color of yellow ivory. Her eyes were magnificent, but absurdly large for such a small creature—almost as large as that of a young gazelle; full, pro- truding and extremely lustrous, Absolutely nude, the little demolselle was quite pos- sessed, as though she were accustomed to be admired and really enjoyed inspection.

Their colors, however, are not so bright or varied as those of warmer regions. a OD EPILEPSY. The Place in Germany Where It Is Specially Treated. From the Youth’s Companion. The suddenness of its attack is what has given this disease its name, from a Greek word signifying to ‘‘seize upon. As the patient generally falls, it is known also as the falling-sickness,’’ In its severer forms epilepsy is usually at- tended with convulsions. Frequently it be- gins with a peculiar outcry. A cundition of stupor follows the convulsive state, and this in turn is followed by natural sleep, which, if uninterrupsed, generally restores the normal condition of the system. ‘The at- tacks vary greatly in frequency, with a ten- dency to increase. The disease is not fully understood, though it is known to belong to the large class of nervous affections. In the majority of cases it first makes its ap- pearance between the ages of 10 and 20. It is requently hereditary, but is also induced by fright, grief, worry or overwork, as well as by refiex irritation from dentition, indigestion and injury to the body, especially to the head. When of frequent ocourrence, it often im- impairs the mental faculties, and sometimes ends in insanity. In some cases the patient, instead of falling convulsed, becomes mani- acal, commits some act of violence, and then as suddenly regains consciousness, with no remembrance of what he has done,or perhaps po po but a confused and dreamy recollection 0 The disease is a great affliction. Friends are kept in constant fear of a dangerous or even a fatal fall. The patient’s business prospects are sadly imterfered with. He suf- fers in bis social relations also, and is always liable to serious accidents. In view of these and other considerations a benevolent German pastor about thirty years ago purchased a farm at Bielefeld, near Han- over, and took four epileptics under his care. The institution has expanded until now it forms a village of fifty-five houses, embracing in patients and attendants over two thousand persons. In twenty years, from 1867 to 1887, more than two thousand epileptics were treated, of whom 156 were cured, and 450 ben- efited, while the condition of all was rendered more tolerable. The Medical and Surgical Reporter says: „Manual training is combined with educa- tional and religious facilities, and to these are added the most careful and skilful medi- cal treatment, together with a great variety of pleasing amusements. Im managing the patients great attention is paid to securing proper bodily and mental exercise, and a carefully reguiated diet, with suitable hygienic and medical treatment.’’ There isalarge field here for persons in the United States. benevolent Where Wealth Was Created, From an Exchange. The place above all others where the wealth, business interests, and ability of the nation have deen and are being created is among the rocky hills and pleasant valleys of New England. From there have gone the money and the brains that have built up and made successfulthe great coal and iron in- dustries of the Middle States, the agricultural and mineral resources of the West, and the numerous industries that are at present being developed and populating the South. It is here that began the great textile and manufacturing interests, andthe iron product that has spread all over the country from the North tothe South, and the East tothe West. It is here that have reared and educated the men who have made the nation, a nation that is unsur- passed in intellect, education, inuustry, and weaith, and it is here that are to be found to- day the great factories, workshops, and hives ofindustry thatare the parent stock of the great family scattered broadcast over the land. Think of this. Think what it le, what an honor and a biess- ing to point to this little section ofa great country teeming with lite and industry, weaith and happiness, and be able to say, there is my home, there is my heart, and there willl place my dependence. Is sucha statement of facts, backed by every truth, and open to ali for confirmation, not sufficient to convince the capitalist, the laborer, the home secker, that herein New England is every- thing and ail that can be desired? Look where you will, to the gold flelds of California, tney have failed to meet the expec- tations and haye discouraged the hearts of those who flocked to them as bees in a swarm; to the farms and ranches of Dakota, Nebraska, and the far West, they, too, have proved adelusion and a snare; to the coal and iron mines of Pennsylvania, the miners are starving and dependent; to the Sunny South, the latest Ei Dorado of expectant wealth and future greatness, where one suc- ceeds a hundred lose their all, and in sad re- fiection upon their blighted hopes and wasted energies they turn again-and stretch out their arms in a longing and protesting appeal to the good old New England States, from which they went, and to which would, like the prodigal, return to live upon the fat ot the land and enjoy the privileges and opportun- ities of their early days. — — He Didn’t, From the Philadelphia Times. **W hat is that odd figure on top of the clock with the bald head and scythe?’’ Why, it’s Time; that lock of hair on his forehead means that one shouldn't lose the present opportunity.“ He didn’t.

Those who suffer from disorder or inaction of the liver will never ges the upper hand of the unruly organ so long as they use such irrational remedies as blue pills, calomel and podo- phyllin. But from the tried and popular medi- cine, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, they may ex- pect relief with a certainty of obtaining it. The influence ofthe Bitters upon the great biliary gland ts direct, powerfuland speedily felt. The relief afforded if not spasmodic, but complete and permanent. The sallowness of the skin, furred appearance of the tongue, indigestion, costive- ness, headache, nausea, pains through the right side and shoulder, in fact every accompaniment of the obstinate complaint are entirely and promptly removed by a course of this inestimable medicine, in behalf of which testimony is con- stantly emanating from every quarter and frm all classes of society.

The pressure was soon renewed, however, and the upward movement made but slight further progress, prices yielding small fractions over the entire list. Losses of er cent in Mexican Central and ½ per cent in Atchison were the most important declines, how- eaer, and Sugar Refineries. after losing % per cent. rallied to its last night’s figures and later in the hour to materially higher figures. The general list fol- lowed and partial recoveriesfrom the lowest prices weretherule. Atchison and suger Kefineries were the only really active stocks, the rest of tne market being quiet to dull.

Ayer’s rry Pectoral, on the con- trary, while it cures the cough, does not in- terfere with the functions of either stomach or liver. No other medicine is so safe and efficacious in diseases of the throat and lungs. “Four years ago I took a severe cold, which was followed by a terrible cough. I was very sick, and confined to my bed about four months. I employed a physician most of the time, who finally said I was in consump- tion, and that he could not helpme. One of my neighbors advised me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. I did so, and, before I had finished taking the first bottle was able to sit up all the time, and to go out. By the time I had finished the bottle I was well, and have remained so ever since.”—L. D.

T. LOUIS, MO., J . The local forecast for St. Louis is fair; 9 stationary temperature, What are we selling these summer days, you ask? Your quese tion is easily answered: Thin Summer Coats and Vests—quite a call for them, cause they're not only necessary for comfort, but down in price to close remaining lots. MEN’S PANTS-—It’s a goodly number of them we're selling daily at $5.00 a pair—worth nearly as much ag’in. It’s not strange to see them selling so rapidly. STRAW HATS— We're selling a good many, cause they’re so cheap that most all can afford to have a second one to finish the season.

Ontca do, III., July 29.—Ernest Theodore, a prominent tea importer from Han Row, China, arrived in this olty yesterday. Speak- ing of the tea commerce Mr. Theodore said: „The recent passage of the silver bill has raised the price of tea 10 percent. We make all of our payments ia silver out there, little gold being used. The purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver a month by your Government is equivalent to taking out of the market just so much that was hitherto avaliable. Kast ern markets have felt this influence and sI. vor in London has raised in price. The ten crop in China is heavy this year and of prime quality.’’ Believed to Be Thomas Mooney. New Tonk, July 29.—The Sun says that it seems probabie that the man known as John Murray, Who was drowned at Far Rockaway Beach on Sunday last, was Thomas Mooney, the Irish agitator and bomb thrower. The reonal appearance of the drowned man tallies ciosely with Mooney, and it is known that while at Far Kockaway he was visited by O'Donovan Rossa. Mooney is the man who, in 1887, threw a phosphorus bomb on board the steamship Queen while she was lying in ber dock bere. The deck caught fire, but the Hames were extinguished before much damage Dad been done. ooney was arrested for the crime. He was afterward pronounced insane and sent to an asylum, but was released a sbort time later. TABLE CUTLERY.

Sarato- . V ga’s track is popular because of the early hour at which the racing begins. Half-past 11 finds the horses at the post for the first race, which means an early breakfast, a pleasant walk or drive up Union avenue, and the track is reached before the real warm hours of the day. By 2:30 everyone is homeward bound, ane the hotels all wait dinner until this hour. A good way in which a pleasant evening can be spent by racegoers is to make a visit to Horsehaven. Unlike most other tracks, the stables at Saratoga are not on the track proper, but across the avenue, where they are all together, and where there is a nalt- mile track for exercising. Here are quartered hundreds of the stable help, the majority of whom are colored, for Saratoga always draws the Southern stables after the Chicago meeting ends. After sundown, when the equine charges are safe and snug for the night, these darkies gather in groups among the trees, and when it becomes too dark to make out the ‘‘seben eleben’’ of their favorite game of craps, some one suggests a song. Soon the twang of a banjo is heard, and some good old plantation melody is recognized. Whatachange this is for our city race- goers. Here we leave home at noon, take the eievated to the ferry, ferry to Jersey, an hour’s ride in the cars and tben our track is reached. Home again seldom before 8 o’clock finds our evening spoiled, and we are tired and worn from the journey alone. There has been considerable talk of a new track even there, with chutes and straights that would beat them all, etc., Dut as yet itis only talk. — Twin City Meeting, ST. PAUL, Minn.

CHICAGO, II., July 29.—The war between Ed Corrigan, proprietor of the West Side Park, and the down-town pool-room keepers, re- sulted in a serious riot at Corrigan’s track yesterday. Corrigan had been having the pool-room keepers arrested to close the Places, and the pool- room men in turn em- ployea private detectives to arrest the book- makers at Corrigan’s track. Corrigan employed Pinkerton’s men to prevent this and protect the bookies. When an attempt was made at the track yesterday to arrest the penciiers a row ensued. Edward Manning, an organ-maker at Engle wood, de- clared be could whip any two men and Corri- an knocked him down and the crowd kicked im fearfully. It is believed that Manning is injured internally and that he will die. Jake Howard, a colored tout, who rushed into the fight with a knife, was badly beaten by the city police with clubs. James A. Watts, a bookmaker, Dick Schreiner, a private de- tective who attempted to arrest him, and Hagerty, a Pinkerton detective, were arrested but released on bail. The Steward’s Cup.

The fight took place before the Audubin Club, and was for a purse of See The men weigh about 155 pounds each. in the first round Upham did some clever sparring, but finally, as he turned to step from a rush, the long, awk- ward, loose-jointed New Zealander landed bard on bis neck with his right, and the Con- necticut man dropped. Fitzsimmons played with him in the second round, but occasionally hit straight from the shoulderaswing oran upper cut with both hands, cutting Upham’s mouth and raising luinps on his eyes,ears and nose. The Yankee went down three or four times and remained down nine seconds each time He tried hard to fight back after that, but Fitzsimmons’ long arms stopped his leads. The third round closed with pham hugging the New Zealander’s bie feet and Fitzsim- mons advising him to quit. The fourth round was a repetition of the third and closed by Upham being floored by a right-hander on the jaw, but the call of time saved him. Fitzsimmons, the referee and the crowd now wanted Uphamto quit. He would not, however, and itzsimmons hit him lightly. Aftera couple more knock-downs, the New Zealander planted his right on Upham’s chin, caught him ashe fell and iaid him down gentiy, and he rose no more until after the allotted time had passed. Upham was never in the contest. Fitzsim- mons is unquestionably one of the greatest middle-weights in the world, his tremendous reach giving him a great advantage. Several clubs here will offer Jack Dempsey, the Nonpareil, a purse to meet him. Fitzsim- mone will remain at New Orleans to train Jimmy Carroli for his ncht with Andy Bowen in case the match is made. Ward Fut Off the Field. CHICAGO, III., July 29.—John Montgomery Ward, father of the base bail brotherhood, was ordered from tde eld yesterday in the Chicago-Brooklyn game at the South Side Park. It was in the first half of the eighth inning that Capt. Ward discovered himself to beasmalier man than the umpire. He was several minutes making the discovery, but was finally convinced. ‘This is how it bappened: The game stood 5 to 2 in favor of the Brook- lyns,when Rvan sent the ball over the leftfield fence fora home run. He was tipping his bon- net tothe admiring spectators when Comis- key senta little grounder to first, where it was fumbied by Orr, the Chicago captain landing safely, Then Pfeffer made a long hit to right, Van Haltren’s territory, which was good for a base. When Van Haltren finally got the ball, Comiskey was speeding for the third bag and to that corner Van Haltren fired the ball. He threw about a yard too high and Comiskey continued his journey to the plate, Pieffer following close behind. Third Base- man Joyce recovered the ball as soon as he could and sent it to the catcher, who dropped it. Then the fun commenced. When Umpire Snyder declared Comiskey and Pfeffer safe, Catcher Kinslow waved his big mitt in the air and declared Comiskey had de- liberately stood in the way to prevent a catch and save Pfeffer. Ward came in on the run to give the umpire the same information and soon the whole Brooklyn team was gathered about Mr. Snyder. Comiskey, who had walked to the bench after retiring, joined the excited crowd at the plate and announced that the ball had been biocked in a little line of spectators after leaving Van Haltren’s hands and should have been returned to the pitcher; thatthe third baseman had no bust ness throwing it to the plate. The umpire said he would not change his decision. Ward said he would not playin such a game and waiked over toward the bench. ‘*Good-bye, Baby Ward,’’ came from a spectator, and others in the stand took up the cry. The crowd was excited and yelled itself bvuarse. Pull the watch on bim, was the next de- mand. And Snyder was getting ready to call the game, and spectators were pouring into the field when Ward started his men back to work. Aste passed Snyder, however, he felt called upon to tell that gentieman how little he knew abqut umpiring and to make other unkind remarks, 8o Mr. Snyder quietiy puta hand onthe Brotherhood father’s shouider and told him to get out of the game and stay out. Ward got and staid. The crowd cheered and play was resumed. Queer Play. The Chicago Times says: White Stockings? Since July 7 the team has dropped from first to fifth place, and ifthe somewhat nasty rumors now in circulation are true, itis pos- sible that by Ausust 1 Capt. Comis- key’s team will have secured the distinguished position of ‘‘tail-enders.’’ These stories now floating about the city are fast assuming proportions that may require an official investigation by the managers of the Players’ League team. ‘*Silver’’ King’s pitching in yesterday’s contest with the Phillies was hardly even up to the standard of pewter, the visitors from Quakerdom finding the ball successfully thir- teen times, with a totai of twenty-four bases. Of their seven runs six were earned by their caressing of the sphere, andthe seventh was a kind donation of Arlie Latham in the eighth inning. The clown ofthe local team seemed to have an off day, his joyous voice being sel- dom heard as of yore. What ails the Vesterday’s Games. Ramsey pitched a great game for the Browns at Syracuse yesterday, striking out eight men, and only allowing the Salt City men four scattered hits. In tue second inalug he struck out three batsmen on nine successive balls. Up to the seventh inning but one single, and that of the scratch order, had been made o the St. Louls southpaw.

NEW YORK, July 29.—In a long,narrow room with a low ceiling, constituting a veritable sweat vat, a few doors from Third avenue, on Forty-second street, there were gathered last evening about two hundred people, mostly men, Who, though dripping with perspiration, were engaged in a unique celebration. There were a few women present, whose function was to assist in singing when that was in order. Many of the men bore scars behind which were stories of de- bauchery, suffering and crime. Ostensibly they were participationg in the fourth anniversary ofthe reclamation from the life ofa drunkard, ot one of their number, their leader, Col. Henry H. Hadley, but in reality they were each indulging in a celebration on his own hook because, for longer or shorter periods, be had forsaken the gin mills where formerly his time and money had been spent and his character lost. It was a pathetic sight and one to be remembered. Some years ago Henry Hadley, who for twenty-six years had been addicted to the drink habit, wandered into Jerry McAuley’s Cremorno Mission while in a drunken condion, and was moved to abandon bis life of debaucherv. From that day*to this he bas remained steadfast in his reiormation. Having won a victory over himself he set to work to save otbers and those who bad been led to become sober men through mission work were the guests at this celebration. The room wherein this anni- versary was held is known as St. Bartholo- mew’s Kescue Mission. Several of the re- formed wen related their experience as drunkards and told how they came to be saved. One of the most touching incidents of the evening was when a young man arose and said he could Dot remain any longer, but before he went he wanted to relate his experienze. He then told of nis degradation through liq- uor and bis reciamation, and drawin him- self up to his full height, he said with un- feigned pride that, whereas a year ago no one in New York would have trusted him with 10 cents, only the other day he was intrusted by his employer with $2,000 to deliver, and that he had been made collector ina large business house. He then sald that the reason he must retire so early was that he had been married a short time ago and did not want to stay away so late from his bride. He was heartily applauded as he left the hall, $20.00 to Beston and Return.

Y., JUly 29.—For some time It has been said that Bishop Walshams of the Ogdensburg Catholic diocese isto receive a coadjutor. Two weeks ago the story went around that the very Rev. Dr. Gabriels, Presi- dentof St. Joseph Seminary, Troy, had been named by the Pope. The diocese claims a larz@é numberof French-Canadians and the Catholics of that nationality announced that they considered the coadjutor should be one of their countrymen. It seems that the news of the probable appointment of Dr. Gabriels did not bring joy to the French- Canadians. Although positive information has come from Rome that he bas not been named coadjutor, a letter signed Many Can- adian Pastors of the Ogdensburg Diocese’’ has been issued, in which objections to bim are noted. Among otner things the letter says: We confine ourselves forthe moment to the emphatic declaration that the appoint- ment of Father Gabriels would be offensive to the national sentiments of Canadians in the United States in their mom sensitive points. Hed the appointment been made, it could only have deen considered as a refusal, pure and simple, dy the Holy See to consider favorably our just claims. Moreover, from those who know Father Gabriels intimately we are well aware that while he is ua learned gentleman, he is opposed to the preservation be seized. sealing waters, however. F. M.

NRW YorRK, July 29.—The Herald’s special from Sand Point, Unga Island, Alaska, dated July Ii, says the United States cutter Rush had arrived there on the 10th inst., and had boarded all the vessels remaining there, dis- tributing the President’s proclamation re- garding the Bebring Sea, but would give no information as to whether the vessels were to The vessels are sailing for the They say they will ofthe French language among us, and would giadly see us Anglicized. Would not this fact alone suffice to ohill between him and the French Canadians, who constitute two-thirds of the diocese, the tender relationships that should exist between a pastor and his flock?’’ As might be expected, this letter has created some excitement. The other Catho- lics of the diocese are highiy indignant and some think that the present trouble may re- sult lu avery bitter feeling between the fac- tions. Speaking of the matter, one American priest said: ‘‘To say the least that letter is presumptuous. The gentiemen who have signed it have not been in the country a very long while, and not one-half of them can speak English. They, no doubt, forget that they are living in an En- gliish-speaking country and in a diocese which is sustained by the contributions of English-speaking Catholics and that not long ako the Holy See rebuked the attempts to fas- ten foreign languages upon others. Of course, we all admit that the statistics of pop- ulation are somewhat in favor of the French Canadians, but the financial statistics are all go regardless ofthe proclamation.

But neither looks as old as he or she really is and whens the couple decided on matrimony they were afraid of parental opposition and hied to County Cierk Rhein of St. Clair County, III., from whom they requested a marriage license, Mr. Rhein refused the license on the ground of the apparent youth of the parties and the absence of any evidence as to age. Sorrow- fully the young people retraced their way to St. ulis only to discover that there was no opposition to overcome and that they bad seized in Behring Sea. Victoria sealers claim merely run away from an imagipary trouble. that the Mischief brought reliable news that they would not be disturbed in Behring Sea this year, ana they say thev are going to make a big year ot it. The German schooner Adle, sailing from Hamburg, is also here, bound to the sealing ground, so itis likely Germany will be interested inthe question with Eng- land. The Rush sailed on the lith for Ounalaska and the seal isiands. In a few days it willbe known what her policy is, as there will be plenty of vessels for her to seize. The schooner Geer while off Seattle was seized in Ounalaska by the Customs officers there for having on board more breech loading arms than ber manifest showed.

She was appointed July 26, 1869, atthe request of ber brother, now dead, Roscoe Conkling, whose name is signed in the appointment book atthe Ous- tom-house as her réference. Moses H. Grin- nell, who is also now dead, was the Collector ofthe portthen and sheserved under every collector since then until the adminis- tration. of Collector Magone, when she resigned from the service,ber resignation tak- ing effect October 1, 1887, making her period ofactive workforthe government eighteen years, two months aud ve days. She was a widow when she was appointed. It is said that when she expressed a desire to earn her own living, her husband not having left much property, her brother did notlikethe idea and tried to dissuade her from taking such a step.

She would then go to the wharf and after concluding her examination woul sign the report to the-inspector who had been sent over in the barge, her signature being taken as evidence that she had attended to her duty. For this work she was paid at the rate of $3a day. Mrs. Steele nad all the dignity of character which her noted brother had, and although she worked to sup- port herself no one dared to be familiar with her or to establish an acquaintance any more than though she was inadrawing-room. She dressed neatly always, ina plain, old-fash- loned way, and was scrupulously tidy. She was a reader of books of the best class, and wrote a good deal, although not for publica- tion over her signature, except once or twice, She was also a devoted student of art and wus a painter of more than ordinary — She was a fit representative of a noted family, and ber death leaves awide gapina large circle of friends. .
