Cale, former ly a physician of this city, who has been in Guatemala during the past year. He says a proclamation has been issued that all men not ready for military duty would be shot. Nearly all the men who have gone to the front have been killed in battles with the Salvadorans. If Ezeta marches to the city,’’ the letter says, he will probably sack the town. The Americans are safe, for they receive protec- tion at the legation. Every servant, even those on the coffee plantations, has been drafted into the war and there are not enough left to supply food. Provisions bring egormous prices. Business is at a standstill and the city is under martial law. Twenty Americans and as many Germans and French offered their services to Barrillas, but they were refused. About twenty-five thousand soldiers have Already left the city for the frontier. Men are attracted to public entertainments and are then seized by the police and are drafted into the army. Tired of Guatemala’s Yoke. City OF MEXICO, Aug. 18.—The most influential and wealthy citizens of Salvador, as well as the lower classes, have offered their services and money to Ezeta to prosecute the war against Guatamala. The people have be- come tired of the yoke which Guatamala has forced upon Salvador, and have decided to lend all their support and make it warm for theenemy. Troops are being massed upon the frontier, and if the army of occupation of Salvador in Guatamala is not already moving it is probable that it will be to-day, when a battle will be fought, in all probability. A telegram re- ceived yesterday states that the diplomats had a conference with Barrillas Saturday re- to consider the subject unless Ezeta be de- posed and affairs again restored as they were under Menendez. According to Le Traite d Union of this city, Salvador under the Presi- dency of Zaldivar paid a tribute to the Guatemalan President of $5,000 a year, which it is said was employed to increase the fortune ot that functionary. On the downfali of the Zaldivar Government by revelution Gen. Mendenez, who became President of Salvador, continued this disgraceful tribute. Provi- sional President Ezeta of Salvador on taking the reins of government positively refused to accede tothe demands of Barrillas for the continued payment of this tribute, and war was at once precipitated. The rough answer of Barrillas to the diplo- matic corps has stirred the Salvador Govern- ment to action again and hostilities have been reopened. It is believed that notwith, standing the reports that large forces of Gautemalans will attempt to stop the advance of Ezeta’s army, the latter will be victorious as in the former battles, and within two or three weeks will attack the capital of Guatemala. The outposts of the Salvadoran army are said to be about twenty- nine miles from the city of Guatemala, but this is here believed to be exaggerated in dis- tance some twenty miles. Geronimo Pou has reeelved no direct news from President Ezeta regarding the state of affairs in Contral America and declines to ex- press an opinion in ‘reference to what President Ezeta proposes to do owing to the failure of the diplomatic corps to bring about peace on the basis proposed by Barrillas. It is believed here that the persist- ency of Barriilas in his present demand will cause his downfall, but it appears that as yet he is master of the situation so far as the Government is concerned in Guatemala, and has been since the beginning of the present difficulty. This statement is based upon most reliable authority, and anything to the con- trary should be taken with a grain of salt. It appears that Barrillas has been ili advised in the present troubles, and all deplore the fact that the terms offered by the diplomatic corps were not accepted. Ezgeta’s Rule. New York, Aug. 19.—The Herald‘s Panama correspondent writes that he has been at much pains to get the fullest possibile partieu- lars of the trouble in Central America, but, of course, if is only the merest outlines that can be got with anything like authenticity by any one outside Central America on account of the rigorous censorship that not only controls the telegraph and press, but does not soruple, on occasion, to violate the maile. It is risky worh for any one in the disturbed re- gions to try to send out a true statement of the situation, but even as news leaks out through the censorship, some particulars of affairs in Salvador nave reached the isthmus, The most Important item is that Ezeta, the practical dictator of Salvador, is altogether opposed to Barrillas, whose creature he Is supposed to have been in the best informea circles here when last I wrote. He was a highly favored protege of the unfortunate President Menendez, who, it is hinted, was assassinated through the vilest treachery. Througnout his career Ezeta has not been regarded as & particularly brave man, When he first seized the Government he appointed a cabinet iu a constitutional manner, and then dissolving it, merged all the ministers into one. In external affairs, however, he showed no such vaciliation. I have it on excellent authority that his first act in this direction was to employ the ald of Mexico to hold baek Guatemala. He knew per- tectly woll that the latter country would promptly interfere and he boldly accused her of a desire to break the peace. That is true enough, of course. But Ezeta himself wants even more earnestly to involve the countries in-war so a6 to release himself from internal ae . pe 8 : we protege had some sinister designs. ment on Guatemala’s | pregnant with garding peace and that he positively refuges. proprietors of a Dublin newspaper. » Before Ezeta’s connection with | leges that „ Menendes he was an obscure obiot | the new. of the Costa Rica custom house guard on the Nicaraguan frontier. All.that was known of him was that de had been imprisoned. a young fellow of good parts, he somehow won the heart of Menendez, who lavished favors upon him, making him at last chiet of the military. All the members of the Government were dead against him and so lately as June 23, Menendez is said to have deplored the fact that he might de event- ually forced to get rid of him. Several warnings had failed to open the President's eyes to what others had plainly seen, that his It is now generally surmised that Mexico was Ezeta’s backer, Anyhow, itis perfectly evident that it was not Guatemala, and Ezeta is not thought to be the man to have conceived and carried through such measures without power- ful backing. If the surmise is correct of course his formal appeal for aid is a mere farce and the move- part will be the signal for the Mexicans to cross the frontier. There is still great uncertainty as to how Men- endez died. The most plausible version of those brought by my private correspondence is to the following effect: It is supposed that the President had been secretly dosed at the banquet. After rising he repaired to the ball- room for a short time, but suddenly becoming ill he left the room with the intention of re- tiring. It would seem that just at this time Marzial announced the revolution, for Menendez had only gone part the way down a narrow covered stalrway when he was met by a party of Ezeta’s men who had already dispersed the guard of hon- or. At this point it would certainly seem that Menendez himself concocted in his own mind the sudden illness that had seized him and the rebellion. with which he was suddenly con- fronted. On this theory his last words were significance, otherwise they are meaningless. ‘‘Dispatch me, traitors, as- sassins!’’ This he said as he bared his breast for a death thrust. : Brazilian Affairs. New YORK, Aug. 17.—A Rio Janeiro corre- spondent, under date of July 6, says Brazilians of all classes are delighted at the delicate at- tention of the United States Government in sending The White Fleet there on an un- official visit, and take it as a sign of sympathy and friendship on the part of the American peopie. Of this there is not the slightest doubt, amd the great riches ot the Brazilian trade, so long monoplized by monarchcal nations, are ready to be poured into American enterprises if American business men only knew how to profit by the experience of other nations in this regard. Goods should be prepared speolally to suit Brazilian wants and tastes and furnished exactly in the mode practiced by Brazilian business men. A sample trade will neither be suitable nor accepted. The English tried it, the Germans tried it, the French tried it, but in vain, and only built up their large and profitable busi- ness with this eountry by studying the tastes and wants of the people and sending out their goods to be offered for sale. The Brazilians look upon the lowering of duties on sugars as u favor intended for Brazil and ould the American Government treat other Brasil lan products in the same manner, the import duties here on kerosene, breadstuffs and other American products will very soon be regu- lated bythe government. Rio Janeiro was never so fullof stangers as at present. Most ofthem are foreigners who are attracted by the prospects of establishing new enterprises or enlarging business already established. Of course many of them are doomed to disap- pointment as they expect too much, and some of them are asking for government aid which can never be extended tothem by any free country. Many new American faces are to be seen and it is satisfactory to know that as a rule they are business- looking people. Every hotel and boarding- house 1s full to overflowing, and it is not easy to obtain proper accommodations. Attimes the great street, Rue d’Ouvidor, where every- body is to be found, is so crowded that pass- ing is difficult. Strange to say there are few public amusements here, though the best art- ists in the world are to be seen here every winter. On the front of the ‘‘Impesial Theater de Dom Pedro“ all the words of the title have been chiseled out except the one word ‘‘thea- ter, a result of the first outburst of repub- lican enthusiasm. On the other hand, the wall- paper ofthe ante-room of the Minister of foreign affairsis stillcovered with hundreds of imperial crowns, thus showing that though a thorough Democrat, Minister Bocayuva is notafanatic. The design for the Republican national coat-of-arms has not yet been fixed, nor has a national flag been adopted. Many flags of the two old patterns are still in use,one being the Order and Progresso’’ flag, and the other the old flag with the crown replaced by a large red star of five points. The latter emblem is also used on the caps of army and navy officers, and as it involves little change, will probably be adopted. Tariff Reform Cenference. LONDON, Aug. 18.—The succesg which has attended the series of international confer- ences that have been held during the last few years in favor of arbitration, has resulted in setting on foot another international move- ment which may hereafter be fruitful of im- portant results. Amongst the foreign dele- gates who assemble this year a very strong feeling prevailed in favor of the tariff reform. Accordingly, in addition to the peace and arbitration conference, whicb is to be held in the spring in Rome, an international tariff reform conference will likewise be held. A provisional committee has been appointed, and is now making arrangements for starting the movement under the most favorabie auspices. The committee is sendiag out com- munications to members of the different par- liaments of the world in the hope of securing a large attendance. Vienna Chorus Festival. VIENNA, Aug. 18.—The first concert of the Choral Festival was attended by 20,000 per- sons. Alljoined in singing Das Deutsche Lied’’ and Die Wacht Am Rhein.“ A com- mers followed at which many speeches were made. The Mayor emphasized the commu- nity of Austrians and Germans. To-day 200,- 000 persons entered the gardens ot the Fest- halle where there was muste, chorussing and dancing. The behavior of the crowd was ad- mirable. Less than seventy reste were made for disorder. Special fetes will be held to-morrow in honor of the Emperor’s birth- day. Archduke Charles Louis, on behalt of the Emperor, and all the Ministers attended the concert to-day. The Emperor telegraphed his thanks to the vocalists. (alist PEAS Viscountess Dunle.

Lowponw, Aug. 18:—Two measures of im- portance have received the sanction of Rus- sian imperial authority. It has been decided to create a naval arsenal and afortress at Libau, on the Saltic, about fifty-six miles north of Momel, and about twice the distance north of Konigsberg and work on them is al- ready being rapidly pushed forward. The object is to keep open to the Russian fleet the waters ofthe Baltic Sea which heretofore it has been possible for the Germans to close by blockading the mouth of the Gulf of Finland. The Late Cardinal Newman. Lonrpon, Aug. 18.—There were special ser- mone in all the Catholic churches yesterday on the late Cardinal Newman. At Hawarden, Lead Kindly Light’’ was sung, and Mr. Gladstone read the lessons. Cardinal Manning will deliver the funeral oration in the Bromp- ton Oratory on Wednesday. The Chronicle says that Mer. Stonor will succeed Cardinal Newman. Rev. Mr. Masie, an American Episcopalian of Paris, declined to make special mention of Cardinal Newman’s death, saying ho never could forgive Newman's secession. Canadian Railway Circles Uneasy. MONTREAL, Aug. 18.—The Dominion Cart- ridge Co., whose headquarters are in this city, recently applied through its New York agents to Washington for a permit to ship goods in bond to Mexico. The department has replied, refusing to grant the perm!t, on the ground that it was not disposed to extend the bonding privileges for Canadian goods that they were offering to other countries. It was rumored last night that this action of the American authorities foreshadowed a general action against Canadian bonding privileges and there is great uneasiness in railway cir- clés. The Kaiser and the Czar. NakRvA, Aug. 18.—All Europe is interested in the imperial meeting in Russia. The German Emperor arrived here at 8 o’clock last even- ing and was met at the depot by the Czar, who was clothed in a German military uni- form.

PARIS, Aug. 168.—A monument tothe late Admiral Courpet was unveiled yesterday at Abbeville. M.

The Terrible Tragedy HBnacted at -an Early Hour This Morning at 1614 Pine Street. A Story of Blind Love, Crime and Insanity— The Weman Dies Believing Her Awful Fate to Be Dus to Jealousy—HMake Says the Crime Was Caused by His Father's Determination to Have Him Leave the Weman or Accept the Alternative of Going to the Penitentiary fer Stealing $4,500 From Him. HE house at 18614 Pine street was this morning the scene of a terrible tragedy. Edward Hake shot his sleeping wife as she lay in bed and then senta ball into his own breast. Both are danger- ously injured. A wife's weakness, a husband’s insanity, and some say a = parent’s pride vom- bined to cause the rash act. The story is an interesting one. William Hake is a prosper- ous commission merchant, doing business at 820 North Third street. The firm of Hake & Son is one of the best and most substantial in the city, the partners enjoying the confidence of their customers and asscciates in the business world to an almost unlimited extent. A younger son, Edward, has for many years been em- ployed by his father and brother as collector for the firm. One morning about a month ago the father appeared at the Four Courts and informed Chief Harrigan that his son Edward had disappeard, taking with him $4,500 which had been taken from the safe at the commis- sion warehouse. Mr. Hake made no other statement of the theft, but was much con- cerned over the loss of the money. He had no idea as to where dis son had gone, but scomed to think that he had left the city as his wife had disappeard at the same time. Several officers made a thorough search of the city but young Hake could not be discovered. It was almost two weeks later that the fugi- tive was found. A couple of GenepefDlstrie& police officers learned that the couple had been seen at the Union Depot. This clew was followed. It led to the house of Mrs. Reddy, 1614 Pine street. The place was entered and Hake and his wife were found, The young man denied bis identity when first questioned, but later admitted that he was the man wanted. . FOUND IN A MUFF. He also acknowledged that he bad taken the money from his father’s safe, but in- sisted that it had gone out of his possession. Capt. Young did not belleye this statement. He sent the patrol wagon to the house and had every article of turniture and bedding and all of Hake’s personal effects removed to the Four Courts. hours in a most minute examination of every article. Finally their diligence was rewarded by the discovery ofthe missing money. A roll of $100 and $50 bills was found in the lin- ing of a fur muff, which had béen placed on the bottom of a trunk. The roll was counted and found to contain $4,500, the ex- act amount taken. Not a bill had been dis- placed. Mrs. Hake was then released and returned to her room. The husband, however, was placed inacellinthe hold-over. He gavea very wild and rambling account of his escapade and by his conversation and actions made the impression on his listners that he was notin his right mind. He had told Capt. Young at different times before the discovery of the money that he bad given the roll te a woman in Kangas City, that a young man in 8. Louis had put it in the bank, and that Chief of Police Spears of Kansas City had arrested him and taken it from his person. When asked why he bad taken the money he first sad that his father owed him that amount for labor, he having been employed in the commission house for fourteen years. Later, however, he admitted that he bad no right tothe roll, but said his father had put heaters in the office and is was 80 hot that be thought be desérved a little To another that at the that while the officers had learned his identity and kept four de- tectives on his trail, who prevented him from getting anything to eat. He begged for a piece of bread, say ing that he had not eaten a mouthiul for twe months. When food was given him he refused to touch it, His face was pale and his eyes were wild and glassy in appearance. He trembied like a leaf and often burst into tears, The paroxkysms frequently lasted ten minutes. The following day the isoner was re- leased. His father had told Capt. Young tnat he would not prosecute the case, and there. was then no evidence on which to hold the son. It is said the young was placed in St. Vincent’s Asylum. owever that may he did not appear at his wife eral days. ‘Then he seemed more d morose and sullen. 6 ly visited his father at place of business, but did no work. The cause Of these visits was made evident later ou. Last Monday Mrs. H with a notice from the Oireuit to the effect that her husband had filed a peti- tion The. woman at once broached the sub who admitted the whole truth ofthe notioe. He at the same time, however, protested in the wildest terms, his undying love and assured her that the whole affair was a scheme into which hia father had drawn him. Young Hake has deen terribly ex- cited since the proceedings were entered. He waiked the streots during the day and frequently rose from hig bed at night to wan- der about. Several times police officers on Pine street have seen him pacing reatiossiy up and down the sidewaik before daybreak, mumbling some inaudibie words and clenoh- ing his hands. SHOT WHILE SLEEPING.

His wife Lula is but 23. she was formerly a Miss Warner of this city and was married to Hake a little more than three years ago. The two always ap- peared to live happily *ogether. No children were ever born to them. The charge set forth in the proceedings for divorce was to the effect that Mrs. Hake too often drank to excess. SHE SAID IT WAS JEALOUSY. Dr. Jacobeon, who was in charge at the Dis- Pensary this morning when Hake and his wife were brought there for treatment, said: They were both very low when I went out to the ambulance to see them. I did not give them avery rigid examination, as Isaw im- mediately that the only thing to do was to get them to the hospital as soon as possible. The woman was coughing blood profusely and the man’s pulse was very low. The woman explained to me that her husband had shot her through jealousy, but what excited the jealousy I did not icarn, as the woman was too weak to talk mueh.’’ Dr. Jacobson ams the unhappy pair to the hospital without olay. THE FATHER’S STORY. Mr. Wm. Hake, father ofthe would-be sul- cide, denies that he has ever threatened the young man to compel him to leave his wife. be whole matter, he said, is that the boy is not in his right mind, norhas he been tor some time, We first noticed signs of mental aderration about two weeks before he took the money of his brother, WIII- lam Hake, Jr. I attribute his condition to his wife’s conduct. She was accustomed to leav- ing the house every mornipg just after he lett for work; she wouldn’t cook his meals nor give him tho respect and attention a wife should, and he grewmorbid. She got to running around with men about town and becime so bold as to even receive them at home. She came home drunk on several occasions and, of course, there was trouble. I did endeavor to persuade him to leave her butused no threats. She made trouble for him and my family fortwo years and she was ruining him. He has been in this store for ten yoars and has been faithful ana honest to the highest degree. The neighbors ali knew and discussed her con- duct and sho was a reproach to him and all of us. [forgave him for taking the money and wanted him to come and tive with us. He was at our house on Saturday, and promised me to leave her and stay with us all along, and I left the door open ail Saturday night expect- ing him. She has ruined him; he thought a great deal of her, andshe knew and used ber. influence over him constantly. Why after he bad obtained certain information about ber ho left her for three weeks and declared his intention of never living with her again, and one day she met him on the street, ard it was all right Innotime. Sbe had him drunk before night and he took ber back again. He couldn't make money enough to satisfy her, and I am pos- sitive she persuaded him to take his brother’s money. Of courselfeelit keenly, as he was always a good, honest and faithful son and a worker till she came into his life.“ THE WOMAN’S DEATH. A few minutesafter 12 o’clock Mrs. Hake died. She seemed strong when firat admitted to the hospital, but grew weak rapidly. The bullet had penetrated her abdomen and inter- nal hemorrhages guickly wasted away her strength. It became evident that the flow of blood was sapping away her life and an operation was performed. She did not rally from the snock, however, and died con- scious to the last. Hake at a late hour was siowiy sinking and is not expected to live many hours. The hospital physicians have made several attempts to extract the ball from his breast, but have been unable to locate it with their probes. An operation is impossi- ble, on account ofthe near proximity of the wound to the heart. No time has yet been set for the inquestin the woman’s case.

To-day a warrant was sworn out charging John Jones with impersonating an officer. In the somewhat irregular settlement of the partnership difficulties of the Cook & Bald- win bililard hall on Twenty-eighth and Olive streets aperson was present who was ad- dressed as Pohlman“ and who passed as Deputy Sheriff Pohlman. The fact is that the Sheriff's chief depnty was not pres- ent during the raid at all, and was consider- ably surprised to see himself reported in the newspapers by lookers-on as taking part, in his official capacity. Itis not known who the individual is, but if rant will be served on him. City Attor ney Butier was present simply as a attorney. The failure of the receiver to qual- ify and take possession justified Baldwin, the ousted partner, in the opinion of his attor- neys, in forcibly entering the place. The only force used by Mr. Butier was in pushing aside adark young man who obtruded himself on the attorneys and who was mistaken for an officious porter, though it was subsequently discovered that he was one of the partners di- rectly interested inthe proceedings.

Gever was compelled to call Bage gageman John Sullivan to open the door. Sus- pecting nothing, Sullivan opened the door. A re volver was trained on him. He was told to call the express messenger. Samuel Avery, the messenger, hearing the noise and éns- pecting nothing, went to the door where Sul - livan was standing. He was covered with a revolver, under the protection of which a masked man entered the car. Avery was directed to open his safe and did so. The masked man took the contents and left the car. The engineer was released and under orders from the revolver holders pulled out. At Otterville the train was stopped and Se- dalia was notified of the robbery. Supt. H. G. Clark of the Missouri Pacific was at once informed. Sheriff Smith was pulled out of bed, and at 4:40 boarded a special train witha posse of picked men, and half an hour later was at the scene of the robbery. The robbers stopped the express at 2:37 o*elock Sunday morning.

Then he got out. The other men were outside all the time holding the engineer and fireman and keeping the trainmen and passengers back. There was not a shot fired by anyone.’’ Conductor Al Marsh, who had charge of the train, will return to this city at 6:40 this even- ing. His regular run wouid bring him in at 6 o lock to-morrow morning, but it is likely according to information from the superinten- Gent's office, that he will return eafilier in order to give his account. ‘ Continuing, Avery said: ‘*Ionly saw one, but there were others there, too, so I was told. The lights were all turned down and it was half dark in the car. We were just about one mile east of Otterville. It was about 2:45 e’ciock when we felt the train slack up.

He had a black slouch hat dowr over his eyes and I couldn’t see what color his hair was. He had a mask on his face. Sulltvan says that he bad a handkerchief with holes cut in it for the eyes, but I think it looked like one of these old-style tippits. It might have en a piece of dirty calico. He had it tied so that it covered the whole of his face up to his eyes and 1 couldn’t tell whether he han a beard or mustache or not. He seemed to have a kind of sallow complexion, „Tue engineer said that after they pulled out of Ottervilletwo men crawied over the tender and pointing revolvers at them ordered them to stop at the water tank.

I uess there were others waiting at the tank, or two covered Baggageman Sullivan while the other entered the car. There were no shots fired, no yelling or cursing and no noise. It was just as though you went into a friend’s house for a little call. How much did they get?’’ asked the re- porter. Nou can say that they didn’t get enough to amount to anything. I can’t tell you just how much, because have had orders not to, put it was hardly anything.’’ hose Not $100. Supt. Fuller sald this morning: Our loss is not large—not nearly so large as has been re- ported. The robbers got a package of jewelry of little walue, three packages of railroad papers, aggregate value $74.77, and some other railroad papers, such as claims, tracers, etc. The run is avery light one, and is car- ried in one-half of a baggage car. I do not Know anything regarding the search for the robbers. I bave had a talk with the messenger and he has gone home. He came in this morn- ing, having completed his run to Kansas City and return. The Packages of No Value. Inquiry at the Missouri Pacific local treasury revenied the fact that no packages of any value had been sent by them on the train robbed. The claim checks and pay checks are only cashed at the various local treasu- ries, so that it they had been secured they would have been vaiuiess. The Saturday night train seldom carries money or orders of any amount from the treasury, it being the lightest day of the week. Ignorance in the Mail Car. Mr. H. D. Evans, who was inthe mail car, arrived in St. Louis this morning. Speaking of the affair he said: „There was never a robbery done more Quietiy. Inthe mail car we had no suspicion whatever what was golng on, aud if any- one had passed on the bank they would only have thought the train had stopped for water. Wesaw one of the men get on at Tipton, but we supposed he was a tramp after _ stealing a ride. He evidently crawled over the tender and covered the engineer but I can only say what I heard, for we knew nothing about the robbery until we got to Ottervilie. I thought I saw the-flreman walk- ing back and called out to him, asking him what was the matter. It probably was the Hreman I saw, but he knew better than to answer mc. »The whole crowd seemed paralyzed with fear, and I don’t blamethem. After the men tad gotintothe express car they evidently forgot all about the engineer. He climbed up on to the tank and w to got to his engine, But in the meantime A colored porter had come forward with his lantern and the engineer was afraid the rob- bers would see him andshoot him. He shouted to the porter Put out your light.’ The porter did so, and the engineer clambered up onto the top of the cab for safety. From this point of vantage he lost no time ina telling the porter what had happened, and thé man was down In a minute. hen he met one of the reb- bers, who asked him what he was doing there.

While she was sitting there a bail from the rifle was inadvertently directed towards her by one of the boys and struck her baby in the breast, making a severe and painful wound on the right side. The wound, when it was examined and dressed by a surgeon, was found to be of such a nature and location that it might cause death or per- haps heal quickly and cause no further trou- bie, all depending, of course, upon the strength of the child’s constitution and the care it may receive.

ALBANY, N. Y., Aug. 18.—All day yesterday there was trouble expected because it was know tnat allof the Pinkerton men who were on duty forthe New York Central were | armed. Nearly all of them were withdrawn from the central partof the cityand their places filled with police. As it was,there were several rows and some shooting. James Hat- ton, one of the Pinkerton men left at the switches in Vanwoort street, was struck with a stone thrown from the crowd, and his partner was knecked down and beaten. « Hatten fired his pistol and shot asmall boy named Richard Dwyer. Before he could fire again the crowd was upon aim and he was terribly beaten. When the police arrived his clothes bad been pulled off of him and he was in a pitiful condition. Hatton would certainly have been killed had not the police forced the crowd away just in time to save him. The Pinkerton men claim that the West Albany trains passing through for New Lors were stoned by the crowd. The police deny the story, but when one train of freight cars with Pinkerton men on it reached the Broad- way viaduct the men began firing into the crowd in the most reckless manner. There was no provocation for the shooting and one innocent person was hurt. Mrs. Thomas Hogan, who was standing at the door of her home, received a bullet inthe right thigh. She was badly hurt, theugh net seriously injured. Robert Pinkerton, who was in charge, called on Chief of Police Willard for assistance and said that the men were compelled to shoot in beth cases to protect themselves. Chief Wii- lard said that he believed that the local police could have kept order without the Pink erton men and that without causing 80 much trouble. While Mr. Pinkerton and the Chlefof Police were st ill in consultation Frank Parks, a boy of 18, was brought in with a bullet bole in hies arm. He had been shot by Pinkerton men who were on afreight train which assed turough about 4 o’cilock. The Pinkerton man who shot into the crowd at Vanwoort street was chased by the police and finally arrested. He was put on a train with the understanding that it would stop at the proper place, but in- stead it went to East Albany, where the officer and prisoner fell in with a party of Pinkerton men, who rescued the prisoner and used the officer very roughly. Robert Pinkerton asked for the release of Thomas Burke, but Chief Willard refused the demand, saying that the arming of the Pinkerton men was causing too much excitement among tne strikers. PINKERTON MEN CAUTIONED. Thomas Hatton, the Pinkertoh man who shot the boy Dwyer last night, was held this morning for assault in the first degree to await the result of the boy’s injuries. No ball will be accepted, asthe attending physicians say that the boy will probably die, the bullet having lodged near his spine. Robert Pinker- ton said this morning that a personal exam- ination of his men showed thatinevery case they bad been stoned before they fired, and in some cases fired upon. Mr. Bissell says, on the part of the road, that the men were cau- tioneu not to use their weapons unless abso- lutely necessary. To-day is going by quietiv and the excitement seems to have simmered dewn. Tue road has moved ten freight trains to the West Albany yardeand are endeavor- ing to clear the yard quickly. Chief Willard of the police received aletter from Mr. Bis- sell this morningin which he claimed that the Pinkerton men only fired in self defense, butthe road would warntnem against the hasty use of the guns. The Knights of Labor are issuing bulietins in which they reiterute the caution to keep away from the tracks and preserve the peace. They say they are as strong as ever and that the war bas only just begun. The only fracas this morning was a brutal assault at West Albany by two men upon a freight conductor whom they mangled badly. Both men have been arrested. The victims of the shooting yesterday are all do- ing well except Dwyer. There has been no trouble at the Van Woert to 2 o’clock to-day. A number of freight trains have passed through she city, but the police say not one of them was stoned nor was a shot fred. A meeting of the Brotberhood of Firemen inthis city has been called for 3 o’clock this afternoon at East Albany. street crossing up The Freight Blockade at Buffalo. BuFFALO, N. T., Aug. 18.—The New York Central and its connections are running their passenger trains through this morning on a fair approximation to schedule time, a fact which, it is argued, is due largely to the mod- eration of the inen who are out on strike. But while the passenger trale remains practically uninterrupted the freight situation at this oint has grown very much more serious. very siding has its complement of freight cars, mainly loaded with perishable freight, and even tiie ke Shore sidetracks, to a distance of twenty miles out, are packed with standing, abandoned trains. Between East Buffalo and Idle wood a very longa dressed beet“ train lies motionless, its contents, to say the least, not improved dy the delay. There is no strike as yet on the Lake Shore Road, but the switching of freight for that road is all done in the Central yards, and they are not only al- ready glutted with freight, but have no switchmen. 80 the management has been obliged to find other places to store its accu- mulations and has utilized every available siding. An attempt will be made to««move some of the freight at East Buffalo to-day. „We have got men enough, though they are reen,’’ said one ofthe yardmen this morn- for, ‘*and will put them to work if the strikers will let them do anything. We bave got to move the stuff in the East Buffalo Yards; they are full now, and whatever else comes has got to lie outside till we can make reom for it in the yarde.’’ A rumor was current this morning that the Lehigh Valley men bh gone out, but this en- tirely lacks confirmation. It was learned that the rumor arose from the threat of the switch- men ete «0 out if the road moved Central freight, On Saturday might a Central stock train was run in on Lenigh tracks, and the switchmen deol they would strike if it was not sent back where it belonged. The road acceded to this request and sent the Cen- tral train back. Grand Master Sweeny, of the Switchmen’s Mutual Ala Association, was seen this morn- ing. He was as Conservative as ever, but was eviden smarting under the insolent treat- ment he bad received yesterday at the hands of — Burrows. Mr. Sweeny said: „The strike isa question of endurance be- tween the men and the company, and I don’t think the men will be the fret to givein, as they are in the right in this matter. The Knights of Lavor strike was a separate affair; the strike of our order, the railroad authorities precipitated upon themseves by ordering our members to take the places of strikers whioh they declined to do. If they had consented and taken the places of brother switchmen out on strike, I should have ex- pelled them from our order as soon as their actions had been made known to me.

Mr. eweeny said he did not know. He wired Chairman Sargent of the Federation on Satur- day and the latter will be here this afternoon. ‘* Will that order take action?’’ was asked. „It may do so, was the guarded reply. Mr. Sweeny wili remain here and watch the situation and await developments, He said in conclusion: There is one thing that I won't do, that is, make any efforts to have any further talk with this man burrows.

Mr. Lee, representing the Knights of Labor in this city, sent the following mysterious cipher dispatch to the New England Protective Union at Boston to-day: ‘*Whatsoever, whatever, or more. Be in readiness.’’ It is understood that this is a prelude toa general strike, and it may come any hour. AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE. Au important conference is now being held at the Continental Hotel. Those taking part in it are T. V. Fowderly, Grand Master Work- man of the Knights of Labor, F. P. Sargent, of Terre Haute, Ind., Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and President of the Supreme Council of Rallroad Employes; G. W. Howard Terre Haute, Ind., of the Brotherhood Conductors; 8 E. Wilkinson of Galesburg, III., Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and Frank Sweeney, Grand Master of the 8witchmen’s Mutual Aid Association of North America. Duriag the morning all ot the gentiemen named, except Mr. Powderly, were about the Continental, and they had a brief conference in private room awaitin his arrival. He came at 11:20 o’clock over the Lackawanna and proceeded to the Continental and imme- diately went into session as stated. Of course these gentlemen would talk very littie, but a brief chat with some of them threw a little unt on strike matters. Grand Master Sargent said: „1 am here, as are also the others atthe request of Mr. Powderly. He wired us to meet him, and out of courtesy to him we came. Ido not even know what he wants.“ „Has Mr. Powderly anything to do with your organization?’’ was asked. „„No, sir, nothing, was the reply. We are not as a body afliliated with the Knights of Labor, but our members can join them if they wish. There is no rule against it.’’ Can you give any idea, Mi. Sargent, of the nature of the conference you will have with Powderly and the others?“ was the next question. „No; as I said before, I do not know what he wants. Ioan only say that he invited us to meet him here and we came.“ Mr. E. 8. Lee was a central figure at the Continental Hotel to-day, the headquarters for the big guns. , How do you think the strike wilil termi- nate, was asked. „Can't tell. I think’arbitration is the preferable plan. „How would you select an arbitration committee?“ ‘*Let us select one, the railroad one and the cen third man and let their decision be nal.’ „„What do you think will be the ultimate results of these strikes?“ It will have a tendency to eventually in- duce the Government to assume control of the railroads instead of private corporations, the same as in many nations in Europe. A committee from the Switchmen’s Union waited upon this Sneriff the morning and as- sured him taut there would be no disorderly conduct on the partofthe strikers, and that if the Sheriff considerad it necessary the union would furnish as many men up to 500 as he wanted, who were ready to be sworn in as deputies to help maintain order. The com- mittee said theswitchmen wanted it under- stood that they do notapproveof any vio- lence or disorderly Or unlawful conduct. SARGENT MUM. After a conference of about two hours Mr. Sargent came down stairs and was asked what had been done. We have decided to go to New York on the firet train,’’ he said, ‘‘be- cause that is the headquarters of the trouble. We have about got through our deliberations here, having for the most part simply can- vassed the situation.’’ ‘*Do you go to New York to confer with Mr. Webb?“ I have nothing to do with Mr. Webb.“ he replied. ‘‘That is all the news I have to give you; you must draw your own conclusions.’’ In the conference is there harmony be tween Mr. Powderly and the Brotherhood men?’’ Oh, yos; perfect harmony. Mr. Sargent declined to answer a question to the probability of members of the Brotherhood being represented in the con- ference. He then returned to the conference, which Is still in session. The Central Officials. NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—The New York Central is slowly getting back intoas good condition asit was before the strike. At the general offices in the Grand Central Depot the officers have had their beds put into their offices so that they can be on hand at all times. Third Vice-President Webb was seen and said that he expected Mr. Powderly to-day. He said he thought that Mr. Powderly and the Executive Board would make demands which would be refused and thea they would call the strike off and for the sake of getting back sac- rifice some of their men. Engineer James Fallon, who has been run- ning the Chicago fast express, was struck by a locomotive yesterday and willed. Flagman Millarky at Thirty-fourth street and Eleventh avenue was assaulted by a crowd and had his ribs broken. After the assault he was thrown into the river. In- spector Byrnes will put on extra men. The Beston Railread Men. Boston, Mass., Aug. 18.—Ata large gather- ing ofthe Steam Railroad Men’s Union No. in this city yesterday many members spoke of the New York Central strike. The discharge of the Knights of Labor by the road was claimed to be a olow at all railroad men’s Organizations. It was asserted that the railroad corporations of this country had entered into an agreement to break up all organizations of their employes, and that the New York Contant vag selected to lead the fight. It was also asserted that every railroad employe, whether a trade unionist or a Knight of bor, sbould stand by the strikers, and resolutions were adopted pledg- ing them fnancial support. At a meeting of Union No. 2 in Oharieston the members ex- pressed sympathy for the New York Central strikers; deprecated the n of the man- 9 of the road and decided, on rece 5 of definite informatiog regarding the dim. culty, to take necessary action. — — — Mr, Webb and the K sichts.

Mr. Webb, who had promised to make pub- lic his statement in ig ry to the commuaica- tion of the Knights of Labor, bas changed his mind for the present. Atl o’clock Mr. Webb said that he had determined to withhold all information in the matter from the newspa- ers unti! he had heard from Mr. Powderly. The officials of the New York Central or who „have hitherto x- pressed their willingness to furnish the news- papers with news have now become as silent as the Knights of Labor themselves. This would tend to signify that a compromise is be- ing considered, and that if the negotiations now pending between the railread ple and the Knights are successful, the strike may be declared off at ahy time. ME. WEBB’S SEALED REPLY. Third Vice-President Webb wrote a reply to the communication which he received * gone the Executive Board. The reply was pia in a sealed envelope and addressed to Mr. T. V. Powderly at the St. Cloud Hotel and was de- livered by Mr. Webb’s private secretary.

The Citizens of Oklahemsa Territory Not in Need of Gevernmenat Aid—Senater Ka- muonads’ Amendment to the Tariff Bili— President UHarrison’s Birthday — The Quay Resolution—Washington News. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 18.—Congressman Bland returned to the Capital this morning from an extensive electioneering tour in his State district. Mr. Bland was in good spirits over his own prospects and those of his party in Missouri. ' The family of Senator Cockrell have found their pleasant home here an agreeable sum- mer résort, and consequently Mra. Cockrell and children abandoned their usuaLsour this season. They will not visit Missouri until next year. Col. Thomas O. Towles of Jefferson City ro- turned to this city to-day after paying a visit to his family in the West. R. O. Blakeney of Oklahoma City writes here that the citizens of Oklahoma Territory are not In need of government aid for sub- sistence. They do need, says he, more land opened for settlementand cheaper facilities for settling the 30,000 contests now pending in that town and country. The first will supply homes for the homeless people; the latter will assist in husbanding the resources now on hand. No country, says he, is better fixed or more slandered. Edmunds and the Tariff An. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 18.—Senator Ed- munds to-day offered the following amend- ment to the tariff bill, which was referred to the Committee on Finance: That whenever the President of the United States shall be satisfied that a sugar-produc- ing country, whence sugar is exported into the United States, has abolished its duties or taxes on the importation of the principal ag- ricultural products of the United States, he may by proclamation diminish or wholly remit the duties imposed by law on sugar or any — of sugar produced in and exported lrectly from any such count into the United States as long ag such products of the United States are admitted free of duty or tax into such country and no longer.’’ Mr. Edmunds also gave notice of another amendment which he intended to propose to the tariff bill authorizing the President, when ever he shall be satisfied that unjust discrimi- nations are made by or under the authority of any foreign country against the importa- tion of any product of the United States, te make prociamation excluding products of that country from importation into the United States. He said that this amendment was identical in all respects with one of the sec- tions of the meat bill, which had passed the hate two or three times, almost unanimous- 4 but had never got any further than the enate., Missouri River Commission. WASHINGTON, D. O., Aug. 19.—The Senate when it adopted Senator Plumb’s amendment to the river and harbor bill, placing the Mis- souri River Commission under the supervision of the War Department. The Mississippi and Missouri River Commissions were given al- most absolute power years ago to insure the protection of the Eads system of improving the rivers and glven special attention to their work. Theamendment will divest them of this authority and make them merely army officers tocarry out the orders of the en- ineers and the Secretary of War. It will cause delays and increase the force of employes without benefiting and in fact injuring the system. Offerings of Silver, WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 18.—The amount of silver ottered to the Treasury Department to-day was 340,000 ounces. The amount pur- chased was 290,000, as follows: 40,000 ounces at $1,185; 50,000 ounces at $1,195; 200,000 ounces at $11,975.

evidence was easily secured and the arrest ‘ CHARGE O BIGAMY. ee Vohwinkel Admits Marrying Two _ Wemen, but Says a Lawyer Told Him He Was Divoreed From His First Wife and Ceuld Safely Go In for Matrimony a Sec- end Time, _ This morning Special Officers Scully and der of the Central District went to the ox factory at 1923 Wash street and arrested a box nailer named William Vohwinkel, who Was there at work. The prisoner was taken to the Four Courts and placed in a cell in the holdover, pending the issuence of a warrant charging him with bigamy. The case against him is a clear one. At an early hourto-day a heavily draped woman made her appearance at the office of Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes. She gave her name as Mrs. Mary Vohwinkel and said she lived with her mother at 1511 Oass avenue. She wanted a wartant against her husband, she said, for bigamy. She told her whole story to Mr. Dierkes and left with him documents on which the officers could work. As soon as she had gone Mr. Dierkes laid the case before Capt. Young of the Central Dis- trict, who immediately detalled Officers Scully and Danaher to attend to the matter. The followed. It appears that on June 3, 1884, William Vohwinkel and Mary Koha were joined in marriage by Rev. Wm. Faerber, rector of St. Mary's Church, in the presence of John Kohn and Linda Rheinlander as iegal witnesses to the eeremony. Vohwinkel lived with the woman until about a year ago, * which time two children were born them. The husband worked at his wef as a box mailer, but seemed discontented and un- happy. Domestic quarrels were of frequent occurrence. Finaliy Vohwinkel deserted his wife and she returned to live with her mother at 1511 Cass avenue, taking with her the two children. She cared nothing for hor {faithless spouse, and would have lived apart from him without interference nad she not heard of his second marriage. News of this unexpected step came to her about a week ago. She at once commenced an investigation which has resulted in the confirmation of her fears. It has also caused the incarceration of the festive William. 1: is alleged that on July 25 last Vohwinkel went to Washington, Mo., where he was married to Miss Mary Kli ingsieck An announcement of found in the Washington of that date. The bride once brought to this city and installed at 618 Wash street, where she has since resided. When told to- -day of phe illegality of her mar- riageshe broke down completely. She said that sne had met Vohwinkel some time in 1888, having for a short time boarded in the same house with him in this city. When he commenced to pay his-attention to her early this summer she questioned him re- garding his former marriage, and he told her that he bad obtained a divorce from his wife. She trusted him so implicitiy that she never even asked him to let her see the divorce papers, which he insisted he had obtained. TREATING IT AS A JOKE. Vohwinkel seems but little concerned at his arrest. He appears to take the whole affair as a huge joke and iaughs and jests about the trouble as though it were an everyday matter with him. He is densely ig norant and seems unable to comprehend the serious situation in which his matri- monial inclinations have placed him. He tells 1 story. He admits that he legally married his first wife, Mary Kohn, in 1884, but says he grew tired of her and they agreed to peparare. He tells that about New Years he met a lawyer named Seward in nt of the Lindell Hotel and spoke to him of his troubles. The lawyer asked as wanted done and upon that he desired to geta divorce told him that he would do the.busi- ness for $75 with no trouble to either party. Vohwinkle was much pleased at the proposi- tion and accepted the terms at once. He had $50 with him at the time. He to Seward, how- that he could go ahead and m again whenever he was ready, as the divorce could be secured in a few days at the most. Vohwinkel says he supposed everything was right and went ahead with his courtehip at Washington. He says he met the lawyer Sewar at the Four Courts a few days and asked him for the divorce 7 which he had romised him. Seward toid him he would cave to pay the other $25 before he would deliver over the documents, but insisted that he had done the work as he bargained and that the divorce had been duly obtained and recorded. Mrs. Vohwinkel No. 1 is much incensed over her husband’s action, and says she will prosecute the case to the extent ofthe law. She also says that she will obtain a divorce from the msn in orderto give him an opportunity to legalize his second mur- riage, and in this way right the wrong he has done the Washington lady. THE STOCK BROKERS, A Renewal of Speculation in Europe—EKall- road Stocks Selling /Wellin London, By Private Wire to Gaylor&, Plessing & Co. NEw YORK, 9 a. at feeling on the stock market over Sunday was rather bearish and it was the average impression that if any improvement in values was established it would only be in specialties to-day. About the only favorable feature for the market seems to be contained in the European Bourse review cabledto the Times, whieh says the renewal in speculation in London has come sooner than was expected, partly owing to the rise in silver, partly to the collapse of“ strikes here and in ales; be- sides, the harvest advices show improvement in London. In London American railroad stocks rose daily under large speculative buying, but here even the strongest bull commission houses seemed to have partly lost confidence in any immediate rise in stocks forthe moment, owing to the bad outlook for money to carry them with.

Francis is either unfortunate in happening to be out of the State just at critical periods or he is away so much that critical periods cannot catch him at home. Whatever the reason may be, the fact that he is generally caught away remains. n THE interests of commerce demand the immediate removal of all obstruction to free transportation on the New York Cen- tral lines. The West and Southwest are réady to do the biggest autumn business eve: known if the railroad men will let them. Sig THE discovery has been made in the line of Secretary BLAINE’s criticism that there is nothing in the McKinley bill which will gain an_entrance into France for a single barrel of our pork.

To farmers upon whose lands it holds mortgages it has announced that it will supply them with seed wheat this fall and grant them a year’s extension on overdue interest.

With both houses of Congress Repub- lican by an ample margin, the country was told last winter that a new rule heading off ‘‘dilatory’’ motions and“ mi- nority obstruction’? would insure the prompt dispatch of legislative business and send the bills of each house sailing through the other to receive the approv- ing signature of a President in barmony with both branches of Congress. That was the ‘‘iridescent dream.” The gloomy reality in the ninth month of a protracted session is an unprecedented record of delays and antagonisms between a Republican Senate and a Republican House, and between a Republican admin- istration and a Republican Congress. House bills bave been butchered in the * ‘Senate and Senate bills in the House. The two Houses united in butchering the Ad- ministration’s silver bill. Both undertook to do up” Secretary BLAINE’s foreign policy and roast him out of the Cabinet. The Speaker attempted to dictate to the Senate as he dictated to the House, but he was snubbed and ‘‘sat upon,“ and so much corpulency was never flattened to thinner dimensions. No Democratic House and Republican Senate were ever more at outs on strictly partisan measures than the two branches now are when both are Republican. The Administration is also divided against itself on these questions, and with BLAINE, Quay and the Senate arrayed onone side against HARRISON, REED and the House on the other, the Democratic minority seems to be in a fair | way to come out on top. The lesson of this fiasco is that the party was the victim of an optical illusion when it fancied it sawa Bismarck inthe Fat Boy from Maine. And the moral of the resulting situation is that his party as well as the cotintry is too big for the bossism that controls his own decadent State. _ _——— 1 WHAT THE FARMERS GET. In an editorial on the corn crop, advis- ing the farmers to submit to the varyiug conditions of the markets and the seasons without repining, the Globe-Democrat re- marks: We cannot devise statutes that will insure good prices for any product, regardless of intervening circumstances. There is no po- litical panacea for natural ills and no artificial method of making an artiele sell for more than somebody is willing to pay. If that were true there would not be a syndicate of capitalists insisting onan increase of the duty on tin plate in order that they may invest their money in tin mines and galvanized iron factories with an assurance of handsome profits; the whole raft of protected manufacturers would not be howling for the maintenance or increase of tariff duties, and the people of this country would not be paying vastly more for a host of articles than they should according to the laws of trade. It happens, however, that in nine cases out of ten the farmers raise more agricultural products than this country can consume and, havjng asurplus to send abroad, are debarred from all ad- vantages of tariff duties. Therefore, they get soup and Pecksniffian advice. — — 0. — —ää Ir is evident from the latest phase of the Blaine-Salisbury correspondence that somebody blundered on our side by ‘‘bit- ing off more than we can chew,’’ and there is plenty of evidence that BLAINE was not thatsomebody. He never set up or countenanced the untenable mare clausum claim asa matter of public law or treaty right, and his plea for a mare clausum by joint agreement Was in- genious. But we do not see how he can parry or evade SALISBURY’s persistent de- mands for a distinct abandonment of that claim by us and reparation for all the captures based on it. We have got to climb down from that high old campaign horse before we can obtain a satisfactory settlement of the Behring Sea business, and it would have been better to do it without compulsion or attempted evasion. — — Os THE ‘‘equalization’’ which assesses Chicago with her 1,000,000 of inhabitants at only 868, 000, 000, is reflected in the census returns which give Chicago an in- crease in population of 96 per cent and the rest of Illinois an increase of only 6 per cent. And this 6 per cent disappears when another city or two is left out of the count, and rural Illinois has no growth to show atall. But if the State has been governed for the exclusive benefit of the city heretofore, there will be no less of that sort of thing now when Chicago con- tains 38 per cent of the entire population of Illinois. 8 — Ir is announced that neither BLAINE nor REED will make speeches in the Maine campaign. Why should they? The Australian ballot reform was beaten by , — — | their party in that State, the big corpora- tions backing REED can continue the old system of ‘‘blocks-of-five’’ voting, and Secretary Tracy has supplied Kittery Navy Yard with plenty of emergency“ men. Speeches from BLAINE and REED antagonizing each other would only spoil these preparations for carrying Maine in the old way. — —_ Tux echoes of BLarne’s letters to FRYE are growing louder. The few Reed | that is every item of the bill except the free list. 8 Tux party organs that are making a great parade of the depravity of the mountain counties of Kentucky should remember that they are talking about the Republican section of the State. That awfully wicked, bloody and barbarous county of Perry, which is just now enjoy- ing great notoriety as a county of 500 murders and no convictions, no school- houses and no churches, gave HARRISON | three times as many votes as it gave CLEVELAND in 1888, Kill the Force Bill Substitute. From the Philadelphia Telegraph (Ina. Rep.) The interests of the whole county, without regard to any section, are hostile to this scheme. It isa political measure pure and simple, a bold and desperate attempt to over- turn the election customs of a century for the purpose of perpetuating the personal power of a few reckless political leaders. Its at- tempted enforcement would create a perilous state of affairs in the South. It would lead the Republican party with an odium that would im peril its success in the Northern States. It would disturb vast business interests. It would rekindle the smoldering embers of sectional hate. It would intensify race prejudice. It weuld putasveedy end tothe movement so hopefully began in half the Southern States to divide the Democratic party on newlines. It would wipe out the Farmers’ Alliance almost in a nignt. It would be productive of infinite ill and of no good whatever to the Republican party, the colored man, the country or its selfish and short- sizhted authors. Let the Senate kill the sub- stitute election bill, as its committee was com- pelled, by the voice of the country, to repu- diate the original scheme. Common Rights. From the New York Won p. Mr. Webb of the Vanderbilt system puts forth the old claim of the corporation chief— the right to hire or discharge whom he pleases, to pay what and when he chooses and generally te run his own business in his own way. But have workingmen no rights rung@>g parallel with these? Labor is the sole com- modity which they have to sell. Have they no voice in saying whom they will work for and with, what wages they shali receive, how many hours they shall toil, whatagents they may choose to represent them? To deny these rights is to make slaves of workingmen, and this appears to be what some of the more brutal and domineering representatives of combined capital would like to do. There are rights In common and mutva obligations la this matter which both sides must learn to observe and respect. Self-pro- tection is the first law of nature, and labor has as great necessity for invoking it and as plainaright todo so as capital can justly claim. The worker, too, has a right toa word in the management of his own business. Electric Caual Boats. Frein the Utica Observer. Why can’t the trolley electric system be ap- plied to canal boats? This isthe question which W. L. Adams has endeavored to an- swer favorably by devising a trolley system for towing on the canals. It is claimed that with this system the time of a boat from Batf- talo to Troy can be reduced one-half, and not only the time reduced but the labor of caring for the boat while in transit can be reduced one-half. With the same current that pro- pels the boat the captain cooks his meals, and heats and lights his boat by a system of clutches. The same poweris used to load and unload his boat. In many places along the canal power plants could be putin to run by water, which would cueapen the cost largely. It is proposed to run it by the Block system, so that each plant feeds its respective section, regardiess of the otbers. Lilinois Gain in Populatien, From the Chicago Tribune. The Washington dispatches in to-day’s paper give the rough count of the population of Illindis at 8,801,285, which is just about what this paper put it at after the returns had been received from Cook and a few outside counties. This is a gain of 723,414 or 24.1 per cent in ten years. The population of this county is 1,179,434, as against 607,524 in 1880, u gain of % percent. The 101 outside counties, with 2,470,354 inhabitants in 1880 have 2,621,851 now, again of alittle over6 percent. In 1880 a little over 19 per cent of the total population of Illinois was in Cook County, It now has 39.3 per cent, Unpensioned Soldiers, From the Paris True Kentuckian. In all Kentucky there are but six ex-Con- federate soldiers who area charge upon the counties of their residence. A prominent Federai soldier recentiy said that this fact, of itself, was the proudest monument the Con- federates coula wish. The Confederates draw no pencions, but they help to pay them to others; they have no soldiers’ home, but are taxed to support those ef the men who fought them. ANSWERS TU CORRESPONDENTS. F.

The call for the meeting is signed by the Secretary, Fred Walsh. Mr. Waish said to-day that he had seen most of the members, and at their request he concluded to send out notices for the meeting. Dr. Luta, the Ohairman of the committee, is in Europe, and will not return tor some weeks. There is some doubt ex- pressed as to the regularity of the meeting called to - morrow night. At its last meeting the committee adjourned subject to the call of the chair.. When Dr. Lutz went to Europe he gave his proxy to S. 8. Bass. He was requested to call the committee together, but declined on the ground that he did not care t Assume that much authority as the holder of the Chair- man’s proxy. As most of the members favored an early meeting, they asked Secretary Walsh to call it for to-morrow evening. Mr. Walsh said this afternoon that there was no question whatever as to the reg- ularity of such a meeting. We canvassed the matter carefully,’’ he added, ‘‘and concluded that this would be the best thing to do. Mr. Butler wants to resign to make his canvass for Con- gress, and Committeeman Biong has moved outofthe ward he was chosen to represent. We will fill both vacancies and discuss some — gd connected with the coming cam- paign.’’ for WILL FILL VACANCIES. Though Butler will retire from the commit- tee, it ls understood that he will be permitted to name bis successor. There are several anxious to get the seat, and there is likewise a scramble among the Seventeenth Ward Democrats for Blong’s place, This committee will hold until the convention, when a new body will be selected to manage the campaign. Most of the present members are desirous of succeeding them- selves, but some of them will not find this on easy matter. ‘The friends of R. H. Kern, who was defeated for the nomination two years ago by Mr. Castleman, have thelr scaiping kulves sharpened for some of the committeeman growing out of the factional ght just before the convention. The III-feellng engendered at that time continued throughout the cam- paign, and was quite a factor in Mr. Castie- man’s defeat by Congressman Frank. Ninth. Distriet Dem are averse to any more quarrels of this kind, and are preparing to make a very la eftort to restore the district to the Democfatio class. For twelve years previous to Mr. Frank’s election it was répresented by Dem- ocrats. It has always been close and both parties have fought hard in all the contests. The candidacy of Jim Butier and the impression that he will have the support of the Congressional Committee is giving the 3 leaders much concern and alarm. utler declares that he wants the nomination and that he will spare no effortto getit. His father will support him with all the influences he can control aud these are extensive and powerful in the district, AFRAID OF BUTLER. The Democrats who are anxious to see a man like Seth W. Cobb or Chas. F. Orthwein nominated do not take kindly to Butler, but as they are not of the class that carry primary elections, it is considered very doubtful if the can prevent Butler from running away wit the nomination, Butler claims, and his friends do the same, that he will be elected if he gets the nomination, but the op- position, on the other hand, say that such a statement fs ridicuious. ~ Mr. Cobb will not return until the latter part of September and because of this fact many of bis triends incline to the belief that he has given up all notion of making A Congressional race this year. Mr. Orthwein, who is favorably mentioned by many of the party leaders, will return from his vacation next Wednesday. He will then, his friends say, definitely decide whether or not to enter the contest for the nomination. Hitting Kinsey Hard. Congressman Kinsey’s friends are alarmed at the situation in the Tenth District. The re- ports of the County Convention go to show that the influences operating against his re- nomination are stronger than be had been led to believe. Madison County hus selected a delegation opposed to him, and the St. Francois County delegates are beaded by no other than Kossuth Heber, whois aviolent anti-Kinsey Republican. Ste. Genevyieve’s five delegates are said to atand two for Kinsey and the re- mainder for anybody to defeat him. St. Louis County and the ci wards will, i¢ is gen- erally believed,send Barthold delegates unless Senator NceGinnis concludes to reach for the nomination. In thatevent he would upset many of the caiculations of the Barthold men. The convention will be heid in DeSoto, Sep- tem ber 2. Against the Bleeders. Chairman James Carlisle of the Democratic City Central Committee le preparing to in- augurate a crusade against the campaign clubs. He said to-day that there were a number of clubs that depended for their sustenance on the candidates, and that this was an evil that both parties should suppress. ‘*Under- stand, he said, 1 do pot refer to the legiti- mate organizations that do not work the can- aidates for their expenses. There is a vast difference between these and the clubs I have reference to. in re- cinct organization, but I believe in encouraging those clubs that make the candidates pay thelr expenses, In justice to the men who receive the nomina- tions Iam compelled to take this stand, and I think the committee ought to do the same, Some years ago when Senator Kerwin was at the head of the committee he took this stand, and it was generally indorsed. The candidates can settle this matter expeditionsiy if they only decline to deal with the clubs that impose these assessments on them.“ It is Chairman Varlisile’s intention to place this matter before the Central Committee. Political Notes, The Eighth Ward Republican League has called a special meeting for to-night at Tenth and Carr streets. Congressman Kinsey’s Thirteenth Ward friends will hold a conferenee thig evening at Germania Turner Hall in South 8t. Louis. A meeting of the One hundredjand Fifty: first Precinct Democratic Club of the Twenty- eighth Ward was held Saturday evening at 3552 Easton avenue, Speeches were made by ex-Congressman O'Neill, Patrick Number anu others.

The convention will be of interest to all Irishmen in the city as well as else- where, as the association has a large mem- bership, and all Irishmen, not members, are also interested. The principal membership is in the East althogh there aretwo societies in St. Louis. Penntylvania bas the largest membership of any State and will send in the neighborhood of 100 delegates. The organi- zation has existed ln one from or another since the Irish Catholics have existed in any great numbers inthis country, but in its present form it has been in existence since the year 1868. It was first organ- ized thus by Judge DeWilde of Onio. and had for its main object the assistance of Irish Catholic Immigrants land- ing at Castle Garden. Its scope has widened greatly, however, since that time, and now it has numerous branches in ail the cities and towns in the East and many ia the West. Each society bas its own rules and by-laws. Zach member pays 50 cents per month as his regular dues, and the societies pay sick and death benefits. Members are elected to the societies, of which there may be any number In each city. The oldest in St. Louis is the one known as the Old Temperance Society,’’ which has been In existence for fifty years. The other its the United Sons of Erin, and has existed for about thirty years. Quitea inent feature of some societies is what is known as the ‘‘widows and orphans’ insur- ance fund,’’ the amounts of which vary as in other organizations. The membership is not confined to irish Catholics onty but Catholics of all races may join the societies. The be- nevolent work extends beyond its own mem bers and large sums are given in all cases of public calamaties. | PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME. There is one important question whieh will probably be extensively discussed at the con- vention. That is the proposed change of the name of the organization. The proposed change is to eliminate the word Irish from the ame and leave it the Oatholic nevolent Union. Tols proposition has been made at a number ot conventions and discussed at length. One fection wishes to have the name changed while the other faction insists that it shall not be changed. The boneof contention is regu- larly gnawed at each convention without, however, any definite resuits, only that a vote has never yet been taken on the ques- tion. The leader of thetaction wishing the change made is Father sarry of Philadelphia. Heisably seconded by Father Henry of St. Louis, Father Walsh of Chatta- nooga, Tenn., and Michael Phela ofthe Fest- ern Watchman. Walter Walsh of St. Louis, one ofthe prominent members of the order, is bitterly opposed to the proposed change as are also a large number of other members. ones who wish the chanze made are appar- entiy in the minori The reasons, for not isbing to have the change made are that the word Irish acta as a certain bond of sym- pathy with the peeeese of that nationality and assists in making the order of interest to Irishmen who are not members. If the name Irish was eliminated they are afraid that the order weuld soon go to pieces or, at any rate, lose the interest now centered in it by the Irish. The result would be to denationalize the society and, although the membershi would probably greatly .increase, the oredit for the work done for years by the Irish would 7 divided with Catholics of other national- es. ‘THE PROGRAMME OF ARRANGEMENTS. The convention will probably last about three days. During the time delegates will be driven around the city In carriages, and will also be the recipients of a grand excursion on the steamer Grand Republic. Mr. McNear on behalt of the Cave and Messrs. Dixon Bellon behalf of the opera company have kindly requested the delegates to set apart a special evening when they will be invited in a body to attend an evening per- fermance at Ubrig’s Cave free of charge. The delegates will be escorted on the morning of the convention to St. John’s Church by St. Bridget's Military Band, the Knights of Amer- ‘lea, the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Knights of Father Mathew, St. Vincent de Paul con- ferences, Old Temple and Shamrock beneyo- lent societies. Solemn mass will be celebrated by Rev. Father Brady, V. G., after which the con- vention willbe opened at the Hall of tbe Knights of Father Matthew, 1806 Olive street, with an address by Michael Glennan, editor of the Norfolk Virginian, and the National Presi- dent of the organization in this country. Rev. „ V. Nugent, President of St. Vincent’s College of Cape Girardeau, will deliver the address af welcome, during the absence from the city of Archbishop Kenrick. The expected address by bim will be dJspensed with. The Committee of Arrangements are: Rev. O. F. O’Leary, Dr. J. C. Sullivan, Robert Kel- leher, Richard Walsh, James H. Healey, M. H. Meknnie, Walter Walsh, M. H. Phelan, P. Monahan, Dan Linahan and M. J. Cullen. The convention is to be held in St. Louis, because of the lack ot interest in the society in the Western country, and it las hoped that the convention will stimulate the present members to greater energy and bring in more. BATCHELDER EGG CASE CO. ATTACHED The National Bank ef Commerce Sues fer * $10,000—Other Suits. The National Bank of Commerce, by A. A* Arnatein, its attorney, entered an attachment suit In the Cireuit Court this morning against the Batchelder Ega Case Co. for $10,000, and the papers were served immediately. The Deputy Shi founa only the cashier and clerks in the building, 941 to 946 North Broad- ‘way, and closed the doors. The attachment was made on two notes for $5,000 each, dated July 17 and June 23 of this year. The officers of the National Bank of Commerce heard last Saturday that thel ocal banks of Helena, Ark., where the Batcheluer Egg Case Co. has its immense factory and where itis said toown considerable property, had attached the company for $20,000. No member of the firm could bé found at the factory on North Main street this morning and no statementof the er pan 4 future intentionsof the firm cou e had. The American Straw-Board Co. also filed an attachment for $771.26, but on learning that the National Bank of Commerce had attached, W. B.

THE GREAT SIXTH STREET SHAFT FILLED c WITH WATER: Unlecked for Break Drives the Miners From Their Werk—Narrow Escapes Frem Drewning—Pumping Machinery Under Water—The St. Kevin District— The Grey Eagle—News From Willts’ Gulch. Aa By Telegraph te the PostT-DisParcn. EADVILLE, Oolo., I Aug. 18.—The most important thing in mining affairs that has oc- curred has been the flooding of the Zee Sixth street shaft. @ A depth of 470 feet had been reached and. the bottom Still in porphyry, which was gradu- ally getting softer, when about 4p. m. = the water burst up from the bottom with such force a and volume that {t was about all the miners could do to escape with their lives. Inside ot an hour it bad risen in the shaft to within 170 feet ofthe col- lar, drowning the big station pump, and leav- ing nothing in that Hne uncovered beside the small pump at the 105 footstation. Arrange- ments were at once made to relieve the shaft and there are now at the latter station two good Camerons, a No. Tanda No.9, which with the immense valve bucket with which the water was originally lowered, working in the cage, way wilh probably beat the water down to where the big station pump, 70 feet from the bottom, can begin its work. The only thing to fear now is that the water, which is very muddy and thick, will contain so much fine sand as to choke the pumps. However, thesc people have had a tremendous lot of experience in bucking wa- ter on other shafts, have any amount of pumping facilities at hand and have no end of capital to carry out this enterprise. 80 that the Sixth street shaft will not close down. THE ST. KEVIN DISTRICT. The usual amountof summer work is going on in the St. Kevin district and the arifting from the shaft of the mill of that name has begun. In addition to this a holster has been placed over the oid shaft and work has com- menced on the large bodies of sulphide mill- ing ore left standing in the.150-foot level of those workings. This will keep the mill going until the connections are made from the new i. shaft. The Red Moun- ‘tain and Twin Lakes district that have been previously spoken of in the columns of the PostT-DIsPrpaTcu, are coming to the pan, as was predicted in these columns, in great shape. The chief among the mines of thas district are the Gor. don and the Thistle. The latter is working undera bond and lease to some preminent Leadville parties, who have St. Louis men as- sociated with them, and has already over enough on the dump and in sight in the mine to take up the bond. ene little work was done on the Clown last season, a shaft about thirty feet deep having been sunk = some little drifting on the vein been done, but wuter having interfered so materially with the workings it was decided to run an open cut into the vein and then strip it until sufficient money could de realized to put in machinery. This has been done this season, and one of the partners is nowin the city lookiug for jacks to pack the ore down to the road, from whence it will be shipped tothe smelters here. Grab samples from the dump gave the aston- ishing result of thirteen and seven-tenths ounces in geld, thirty-seven ouncesin silver and a fair percentage of lead to the ton. At present the ore is a free milling one, but in our opinion as depth is gained it will change to a sulphide. This accousts for the apparent de- lay in building a mii, as the mill that would now treat the exidized ere successfully would then be of no use. THE WILLIS GULCH. The Willis Guich property is already ship- ping, Thie is located about an outcrop of alena ore that can readily be traced for over hree thousand feet, and will carry, in addi- tion to a large percentage of lead. from nine to fifteen ounces of silver per ten. The Gordon is shipping continually from a vein 13 feet in width at present, and that from the first class only. The balance of the vein is a milling ore, and the mill tetreat it will goon be built. Several other properties in this section are ty becoming mines, and ine entire district has taken on a new lease of 2. 8 The — Eagle claim, lying at the head of East Third street, is szoing down very fast, the shaft having already attained a depth of about thirty feet. Thie shaft is most faverabiy lo- cated to catch the ore chutes from the Lucy B. Husse and the Elk, and it is very probable that not so much depth will be ulred at that point as was the case with the latter n. ines. The workings on the bottom or 378. foot level of the Tip Top are practicaily abandoned, as the Bangkok closed down for ten days or so, and the increase in the flow of water in the former mine was so great that it was found impossible to Handle it, though the pump ing- planst on the Tip Top is of the most efficient character. Work on the upper levels, however, con- tinues, and off toward the Cora Belle werk- ings a fair amount of mineral is found. The work shaft of the Adelaide sed through in the drifts from the . foot level a streak of sulphide ore which, however, had bat little commercial value, and en- terea asheet of gray porphyry. As this sheet is apparently the same as that over which the mineral is found on the Humboldt adjoining, itie the intention of the manage- ment to upraise through it and prospect that ground. The Frenchman isa claim that has not been worked for years, though some time since a vein of good mineral was encountered, the greater part ef which would not pay to ship at the time and went over the dump. Since the rise in silver and lead the dump has been éarefully sorted and is now being worked to a large profit. Ne work is goimg on under ground, however. As the Eliza and Curran are undoubtedly on the same vein that the St. Leuis folk are emptying their shaft te find any developments there are watched with imterégt, and yeur readers may be pleased to learn that the drift from the bottom of the Eliza shaft has gone in about seventy-five feet and le nov cutting into the contact. The lime stratum was found to de much thicker than was originally sup- posed to be the case, hence the delay. They will probably reach the chute some time this week. WORK ON THE MIKADO. On the Mikado the usual ameuntof develop- ment work is eeding, while some little ore of a sulphide natare being received and 22 as an exporim . This was found nm the sixth level, at a depth of about eight undred and fifty feet, the levels not begin- K until the 500-foot point is reached.

Unfavorable Weather. CaRTHaGE, Mo., Aug. 18.+Saiidrs when in mid-ocean always know that a storm is reach- ing them when the salle are crowded with birds. On land those who watch the growth of cities and localities know that when capi- talists crowd into any particular section the negr future will witness developments in in- Gustrial enterprises that will surely increase the population and wealth of the section thus visited. The experience of those who have passed through ‘‘booms’’ bas caused them to go slow in later days, and only such regions are now looked for where the natives show enterprise and have faith in their home resources. If in a | 2 of the State the people have shown faith in the home of their adoption it is in Jasper County. For pore ‘they have plodded on under great dimoult ies, and oftentimes when visitors have scoffed at them and urged them to go to ‘‘ bleeding Kau- das“ they have found it dificult to keep stiff upper lip’’ and pull against the stream of adversity which seemed to be their lot. Nev- ertheless they have kept in line, and now that the land on which they live has roven to be not | rich or agricultural purposes, ut as a ylelder ef minerals heads the list, they re- alizethe days oftriai are over and now they can laugh while others grieve. The condi- tions under which they have been able to conquer were not always inspiring, but with dauntiess courage, which oftentimes has to serve them in piace of money, they have overcome all and now there are hundreds ready with plenty of cash flocking hither to got a footho 4 na place where ‘‘success is u * re. Many of the old-timers have tried to keep the value of the land unknown in order that they might acquire a larger area of it for themselves, and some have succeeded and are still struggling for mere as each year makes it clear that the value of the land is fast becoming®nown elsewhere. During last week aforty-acre tract of mineral iand was sold for $160,000. This land ten years ago was hardiy worth a song, but the ‘‘natives’’ had faith in it and spent their time and money in developing it, and if they were bbliged to buy modern appliances to work to fuil profit they had to deal with men whose curiosity was aroused to know something of the region where such machinery they fad calls for was needed, and since those days many have visited quietly and unknown as long as possible, but to-day they come and have to — A2 er b tor what they need. Last week a sale of $10,000 worth of stock in one ofthe mines was made, which had been developed by the natives when the undertak- ing seemed a senseless one. To have got in on the ground floor would have been possibie at less than 581.000, but in the present figures the purchasers have learned that they have gota bargain. Other deals are pending involving $25,000 fora block of shares. This is the result of the coming of capitaiists who are quietly taking stock of what there is here and who, seeing that the home people are ready to take up what is offered when thev are able, do not hesitate to invest, being as- sured that they are safe in so doing. During the past week storms have prevatied, and thie has tended to make delays in work- ing the mines, therefore the output has not been as heavy as wished for, but the returns average well with improved weather. The mines will show this week a still larger in- crease. There seems to be much cause for confi- dence at Galenacamp, as they are making new strikes which will give them still better returns as cher continue developing. Joplin“ e vicinity is making a record with her mines, and the unusual vutput shows that even when the elements seem against them they still move forward. They have laud in abund- ance, which, so far as prospecting is con- cerned, 1s only yet in its infancy. Webb City and Carterville territory will make a good report, and if the prices stiften, those having heavy machinery will not hesi- tate to push matters more lively than ever and make the returns increase. The Oronogo camp is flourishing, and as each working plant is being improved the opreators arestre of profits on their outlay, es they can move quickly and take out the rich mineral they find. Lehigh and Belleville make a good oye and their land, being in the richest part of the mineral belt, is more easily operated than some other. The men who own the lands are possessed of plenty of means to scientifically operate all their diggings. Alba wines are working slowly and but for the usual mining accidents would have beaten their record. Carthage mines are on the up-grade and their returns give satisfaction to all the 2 ers. The only hindrance has been lack water, which at the Porter mine was a seri- ous matter. To avoid delavs in future the water mains have been extended and & con- stant supply guaranteed by the Water-Works Co. The output was nearly two huadred thousand pounds. Myers & Jennison are working in rich min- eral, and, — within reach of a lower run of water, are able to wash all without delay. They sold 88,000 pounds thie week. Hubb & Puckett made only a half week’s retarns, be- ing hindered in cleaning out their shaft. Howin & Myers in their old shaft find dirt still rich inshaft No. 8. They reached at 120 feet heavy streams of water. and this lies under a heavy body of jack. —— runs of mineral are being worked atthe Globe Mining Co.’s land, east of the city. The Sanderson & Bailey lease is still being worked actively at 65 feet. Their indications are rieh to-day. * Two sales were made of interests in dig- Kings. The prices are not made know, but reported at hh figures. The Myers & Jen- nison land is being watched with interest, and a bargain hunter tried to get it for $32,- 000, but the owner refuses tosell. The lot is only an acre in size. The mines are attract. ing much attention, and the leases granted to mineral prospectors are on such terms as necessitates immediate work. This is a feature of laterest now, and investors who thought of getting hold of some of the land are regretting the lost opportunity. St. Louis had last week a large revresenta- tion here. Other Eastern cities are well rep- resented, not only by visiting speculators but by local agents authorized to ‘‘jump in’ wherever a chance is at hand. Aman mean- ing business is always sure to get what he needs if he watches his chance, but some of the good things don’t walt long. Near Reed’s Station prospecting is being done on land which lies near some of the rich mines east of the city, and the owners are sanguine as to the results.

The City Printing Ceantracts Still Awaiting the Pleasure of the Couneil— The Con- tracters Cannet Take Held Uatil a Quorum is Secered—The New Water- Works Tunnel—Cemmissiener Hellman Says the Situation Is Simple, AJ. MURPHY, in dis- cussing the river and harbor bDill’s passage by the Senate, said to-day: The river and harbor bill, as i passed the Senate, is more favor- able in all respects to the Missouri River than |, was as it came originally i * from the House com- mittee. In the House bill the $203,000 of unex- pended balance in the hands of the Missouri River Commission was not made available for general improvements, and would natu- rally bave reverted to the Treasury.I expected that the Senate would add a clause to the bill abolishing in toto the Missouri River Com- mission. The proposition was discussed in the Rivers and Harbor Oommittee of the House, and ite not being adopted I am cer- tain was the result of a compromise with some of the members who did not agree with others as to the value of the services rendered by the commission. My own opinion is that tne commission should be continued until all the projected improvements of the Missouri are completed. Through the efforts of those who have faith in the future of the Missouri River a large and liberal amount of money has been placed atthe disposal of the Commission and it can now project and ex- ecote plans that the smallness ofthe appro- priation heretofore would not permit of. It has now $1,103,000 in ite hands and the next two years, will, I thing, show good results. The work on the river will, under the condi- tions of the bill,commence at its mouth, and be continued westward. This will help the har- bor of St. Louis as much of our trouble in the northera portion of it comes from the peculiar condition of things at and below the mouth ofthe Missourl. I am expecting a telegram from Senator Vest telling me how all our other items stand in the bill as finally passed. I am satisfied they are all right and that work wiilsoon commence in the harbor of St. Louis. It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that the appropriation we have secured is the largest ever allowed any inland harbor in the country. The New Water-Wérks Tunnel. Water Commissioner Hoiman said this morning, in regard to the tunnel which is being cut from the point where the new water- works will be out under the bed of the river: „There is being a good deal said about the tunnel being on the wrong level and about a drop of three feet toward the river end. The situation is very plain and one which to engineers appears very simple. There were certain natural conditions existing which were taken into consideration when the work was planned. The plans bad to madé ia such a manner as to conform with the existing/conditions and bring the best fr ° 0 made ve careful ‘calculations the results which would any particular mode of p and the one we are following now is the one which brings the best net results. Thereisno mistake and no cause for complaint. We sim- ply encouatered obstacles which had to be overcome, and we did what we thought best under the circumstances. The sitnation is not none. so bad as it micht be, and we can congratulate ourselyes on having succeeded as well as we have. The work will continue and the tunnel Gnished on the present plans. The tunnel is one which will carry the St. Louis watersupply from the river to the pumping station and isa part of the new sys- tem of works now beingbuilt. The drop in the river end of the tunnel is about three feet and was caused by A similar depression in the strata of rock which was being left for the roof. The tunnel is now about eleven hundred feet long. President Burnet ofthe Board of Public Improvements sald: ‘*‘That tunnel is one of the most re- markable cases that has ever been en- countered. In the majority of cases there are many natural obstacles to overcome. In this there are practically none. To begin with a natural roof of rock was found which ran almost level for a thousand feet before it began to dip. That in itself is very unusualand of the yreatest advantage. The dip does not hurta thing as a pew line will be taken for the bottom which will put the shore end of the tunnel a little bit lower than it is now.“ Mr. Burnet has been actively engaged in helping Commissioner Holman on the work — is thoroughly familiar with the details of @ case. , The City Printing. The city printing contracts are still awaiting the pleasure of the Council, and until that body can get a quorum and pass upon the contracts and bonds the new contractors can- not take hold, and the printing will remain in the hands of the old contractors until some action is taken. It is reported tmat an effort will be made to have the Council reject the new contracts on the round that one of the bids sent in to the Reg- ster was rejected without | action of the Council in that in conformity with the plans of doing the printing. Their desire is to delay as new contracts long as possibie the lett! hed | at the old rates. : City Register Wherry said this morning: ‘*I 2 meets an es some a “5 : aree wane they will do I will decide what 1 w 0. * J The lowest bidder im the last letting was the Evening Call. : Slapped on the Street.

Racing, Wis.,;, Aug. 18.—Charles Cole, a col- ored man who recently came here from the South, ran amuck on Dougless avenue yester- day afternoon, and as 6 result one man is lying in a dangerous condition and two others badly hurt. Cole made his appearance on the avenue armed with a razor, a big stone and followed by an ugly bulldog. He was evidently crazed by liquor. Jamés Smith was walking on the west side of the street and without the least warning Cole, who was on tue east side, started toward Smith. He lost the razor, out before Smith could realize what the trouble was the darkey struck him with the stone and knocked him eense- less. The negro then jumped on the prostrate manand hammered him with another stone, while the bulldog chewed his legs in a fright- ful manner. Ex-Justice of the Peace Michael Shield came along and attempted to assist Smith whom the negro was murdering. The wild man turned on Shield, who struck and smashed a cune over his head and then ran away and secured a piece of board. When he returned the darkey had attacked a man named Schneider and cut and. bruised him about the head. Schield at once proceeded to poues the darkey on the head with the board, ut it had no effect. Joseph Morawits, near whose place the row occurred, came out and the darkey struck him with a rock, injuring him internally. Shield, Sehneider and two other men now waded into the darkey and after a hard fight overpowerea him and held him down till an officer arrived. A running fight took place between the officer and the negro and the officer was knocked down. He used his club freely and smashed the negro’s face and nose. By this time the Chief of Police and Oity Marshal arrived on the scene and the wild darkey was landed in jail, where he fought like a demon and made a desperate attempt to kill officer Harms with a spittoon. Smith, the man who was struck and pounded with a rock, isin bad ehape. Spectators state that had it not been for the interference of Mr. Shield Smith would have been pounded to death. Schneider“ injuries are not dan- gerous. ~- RAN AMUCK, HOTEL PERSONALS. C. N. McGee, Lima, Mise. ; R. G. Woodward, Chicago; W. Frank, Paris, Tex.,and J. H, Becker, Cincinnati, are at the Lindell.

From the Beston Herald. When an important organ in the body be- comes disordered it generally has a distarb- ing effect upon the others. Thus symptoms, which at first seem to indicate a trouble in some one partofthe system, may really have theirorigin in another and distant part, or be the manifestations of a general disturb- ance. Headache is a frequent illustration of this fact, and beyond doubt the pain is far more often due to disease or disorder occur- king within the body than it is to trouble in or about the head. It follows, therefore, that the causes of headache are innumerable, Laymen are familiar with some of them, and a wider knowledge in this direction would lessen much the suffering from this distress- ing cOmplaint, to which very many people are frequent victims, and none are strangers. As might be expected, considering its mani- fold causes and individual! peculiarities, head - ache never appears twice in identically the same form. In every attack there is something distinctive. Beyond this there are quite radically different kinds of headache. As, for instance, sometimes it is deep-seated and sometimes superficial. In one attack It is constant for hours, and the pain {s fixed in a Sertäls place, while ia another it comes and goes at shart intervals, and shifts from point to paint. Then there are many gradations of pain, it being in one case of the most violent and throbbing character, while in another it is scarcely more than a trifling discomfort. Headache at times exhibits other character- istics, and it is not necessary to describe them. In a very great degree these peculiar- ities depend upon the causes. A common form of headache is that which occurs when the circulation ofthe blood is disturbed. It is one of the earliest symptoms of fever, and is generally measured by the intensity of the fever. When the fever runs highthe pain is usually violent, whereas in mild febrile attacks itis scldem very severe. Headache also occurs as a consequence of changes in circulation which are chronic in character. As, for instanee, we have what is called MALARIAL HEADACHE. The true form is neuralgic in character and eccursin paroxysms. COhill and fever are sometimes associated with this headache, but oftentimes the latter appears alone. The pain ie felt just over one of the eyes, and from there radiates to surrounding parts. It comes on suddenly and lasts from five to ten heurs and goes away almost as abruptly as it came on. It is often so intense that the suf- ferer is fairly driven wild by it, and there are but a few neuraigias which so obstinately resist treatment. In some cases attacks of pain oc- cur every day, in others every second day. Its occurrence at quite reguiar intervals stamps it asa relative to chill and fever. And it yields te the treatment which conquers them, namely, qninine. Again, malarial sub- — are often the victima of headache, which less severe than the true form just de- scribed, and is lacking in paroxysmal char- acter. The tendency to this milder form ex- ists within such patients, but to develop it there must be some fault beyond the mere malarial taint. Im other words, as long as the malarial taint alone is present and the subject is otherwiee fairly well he is not likely to suffer from the form of headache in uestion; but let his bleod become poor, his — organs or others of importance be- come disturbed and the pain comes on. One of the most common varieties of head- ache is known asthe neuralgic. The name is expressive of ite distinctive features. It is scarcely possible to mistake an attack of it forthe true malarial form of headache, fer the pain is not paroxysmal nor is it always limited to one particular point. Asa rule it {sg shifting, and will be left in one place fora few seconds or minutes, and then, on the in- stant, will disappear, to quick!y ＋ geod in some other place. Some subjects to this form of headache are of what is known as the neu- ralgic temperament, which means that they are frequent victims to neuralgie pains in some parts ofthe body or head, existing in the absence ef disease, and apparently cause- less. Neuralgic headaches are the expres- sion of an immense number of irregularities and diseases. DECAYED TEETH are frequent causes; and in not a few in- stances severe headaches of this sort are Glearly due to teeth so slightly decayed that only a dentist can detect the defect. Headaches, especially those in which the pain is felt most in the forehead, are fre- nemtly caused by inequalities in the eye. nd often very slight defects, searcely appre- ciaple to the victim, sre sufficient to cause them. 1 persons have one normal eye, while the other is slightly abnormal. In such cases there is considerable strain if the eyes are used much in reading, which is especially liable to cause headache. The only remedy in these cases is, of course, a proper pair of glasses. Headache from defective sight is not always limited tothe region of the fore- head, for sick headache is frequently asso- ciated with it. Headache is also sometimes due to troubles within the nose and ears. Every.one knows that a pain in the forebead is a very constant symptom of a common cold, in whichthe nasal passages are involved. There are other affec- tions of these parts, some to which little or no importance is attached by the victim, which may give rise tothe same symptoms. Dr. Brunton says: As far as my experience goes, headache depending upon disease of the nose is at the top of the head just behind the com- mencement ofthe hairy scalp, and headache here should always lead to the examination of the nose.’’ But some persons have decayed teeth, and others nasal defects, and yet are very seldom troubled with headache. -The reasons for this can scarcely be made clear to laymen, al- though they are so to physicians. Whether or not these infirmities are to give rise to head- aches depends very much upon other condi- tions, particularly those of the nervous sys- tem. A person whe is suffering from tooth- ache will often free himself from it for a long time by taking a brisk cathartic. The remedy Goes not, of course, act directly upon the af- fectea tooth, but its influence is conveyed in some way. 80, a person having de- Sayed teeth or nasal trouble may long be spared headache because the ress of the or- ganism in intimate relationship with these parte practivally ignores the disturbance in them. But let these intimates themselves be- come disturbed, and their resistance is weak- ened; then, very likely, they will transmis, or react to, the local irritation, and a headache be the consequence. This is but a vague idea of the essential physiotogical conditions, but it is, as said, scarcely possible to make them clear to a layman. What are called angomic headaches occur in persons la whom the BLOOD I8 BOOR AND SCANTY. The most frequent victims are women. In this form the pain is usually located at the top of the head, although ip occasional cases itis frontal, and it may be hang goneral over the bead. Frequently, during an attack of this headache, the face is flushed and the eyes reddened, Oftentimes the patient cem - 4 of chilly sensations and of spots float. before the eyes. The pain varies some- whatin character, doubtiess in consequence of associate derangements; the digestive or- gans are particularly liable to be affected where the blood is poor. There is, also, as a rule, palpitation and other disturbances of -elroulation. Sometimes the pain is intense ndnd throbbing, and there is a sense of fullnoss din the head. ain, it seems to be just back tne eyes, which feel as though they were Dbeimag tugged at and dragged back into the ead. What are called congestive headaches are - @hearacterized by a sense of pressure and a feciing of heaviness in the head, Generally, „ the eyes are somewhat bioodshot and e face is reddened. The pain is n in- ense and throbbing. Drunkards are well acquainted with this form of headache. Among 1 people it is much the most common in hot weather, and is likely to fol- low prolonged exposure to the sun. Where this is the cause the pain is usually felt throughout the head. Oongestive headaches, of less severity, however, are — gg — complained of by persons suffering from ha coughs. The congestion in such cases is pro - . n R. A being obstructe eo in ren n a * s distended in conss- may be pro - 8 AE? duced in many other evena will cause it, and the be a hea sons who are SUBJEOT TO REEUMA occasionally have headaches which are at- tributed to that disease. The pain im rheu- matie headache, as a rule, is quite extensive and felt over much of the head. It is some- times heayy and aching; again, it is sharp and shooting. Oocasionsily the pain is con- fined almost entirely to the forehead or tem- pies. Im such cases it is assumed by some authorities that the muscles ef the eyes are especially involved by the rheumatism. There is nothing in rheumatic headaches which clearly indicates their actual cause, but ifthe pain is associated with tenderness or soreness of the scalp and the headaches are worse at night, and come in on weather which is popularly termed ‘‘rheumaticy,’’ then it is pretty safe to assume that the vie- tim has a rheumatic taint which is respons!- ble for them. One writer telle of an interesting case, that of a sculptor, who was about to abandon his profession Om account of ex- cessive intractabie headache. The physician in question found that the headaches occurred only during the time when the artist was working upon the modeling in. wet clay of a very large composite life-size group. He therefore resorted to anti-rheu- matic treatment, and the results were em- inently satisfactory. Gouty subjects also suffer at times from headaches, which are generally worse in the morning. The pain feltis usually dull and heavy, and not very intense, but in some cases itis really agonizing. It is doubtful if gout alone causes these headaches. The most ofthe subjects of it are very full-blooded. They also suffer from indigestive and other disturbances. ‘To these conditions the head- aches are almost always to be attributed. Im disease of the kidneys, when those or- gans have become involved to such an extent that they are unable to do thelr work properly, certain poisons, which they should separate from the blood and throw out ot the system, are allowed to remain in it. Headache isone of the indications of their retention. It takes on many different forms but in a large proportion of cases it is limite to the forehead, and patients describe the pain as a feeling of tightness, as though a tight band was tied around the head. ndigestion, biliousmess and constipation are conditions which very FREQUENTLY GIVE IIS TO HEADACHE. In just what way they act te produce this re- sult is not known, but it h quite safe to assume thatin consequence of these condi- tions pelsonous matters are eften absorbed from the stomach and bowels, and they more or less upset the general nervous system and the brain. Headache due to these causes is usually frontal, but it may be gen Dr. Brunten has made a close study of headaches of this class, and found that in constipation the pain affects the entire forehead from the odge of the scalp to the eyebrows. In cases of headache higher up on the forehead and just below or at the commencement od the scalp he found, where constipation did not exiat, that there was almost always a form of dyspepsia suffered from, which calied for the use ot alkalies. Whereas if the pain was located below this area—below the middle of the forehead—dyspepvsia existed, which de- manded the use of acids. When poisons are absorbed from the stomach and bowels, as has already been stated must often be the case, there is usually a tendency to giddiness often some trouble with the eyesight, and almost always a depression of the spirits. Among the common causes of headache Drain exhaustion must have a prominent place. Brain work may bring it on, but where frequent headaches, due to these causes, are suffered from, there is usually a lack of nerve strength—a certain ameuntof nervous debil- ity. In such cases, severe mental effort or the giving way to powerful mental emotions is ulte certain to be followed by headache. In form the painis dull and heavy, and seems to be deep seated. It may, of course, beslight orvery intense. The headache of brain exhaustion is quite generally associated with insompia. There are many other forms of headaches, but a consideration of them all together, with their causes, would fill a volume. The fact which must now be clear to the reader is that headache, a symptom as it is of many morbid states of the system, and dependent ſupon so many different causes, is anjaffection not al- ways easy to treat. Sufferers from it, as a rule, when they consult physicians expect immediate relief, and if it does not come they they are quite sure to vote thelr advisers in- competent. As long as its cause remains it is but natural to expect that the affection itself will persist. It will be seen from the forego- ing that TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE in very many instances must be exceedingly difficult. While in some attacks of headache the pain quite clearly indicates the cause and its location, in the infinite majority of cases it indicates practically nothing of the sort, and the general state of the patient must be carefully investigated, his food looked to, his habits thoroughly considered, etc. Not only this. but often the genera! practitioner needs the assistance of the dentist, the oculist, and the aurist before he can make a diagnosis and treat a case under- standingly. All this nas reference, of course‘ to headaches which recur from time to time, andattacks have lopg been suffered from. And when once the actual exciting cause is determined, it is often with difficulty over- come. In angwmic headaches, for instance, the blood must be replenished before the loeal trouble will be recevered from, and weeks and weeks will be needed for that pur- pose. Again, nervous debility is at best an intractible complaint, and patients them- selves, as a rule, put almost insurmounta- ble obstacles in the way ef recovery. Many of the different forms of headache are more or less dependent upon this condition, which must be overcome be- fore a cure of the head treuble can be expect- ed. There is vet another point which should be brought out, namely, in cases of chronic headaches a cure depends more upon the pa- tient than it does on the physician, in other words, correct habits are of greater impor- tance than medicine. Im cases ef headache, as in many other complaints, the patients ex- pect the physician, single-handed and alone, to overcome the difficulty by the use of drugs. In this they will often be disappointed, and before a cure is reached they will nave learned the important fact that much depends upon themselves, and without a sensible ce-opera- tion on their part the physician can accom- plish but little or nothing. result this LABOR NEWS.

Mr. Joseph Bhows That the Contractors Have Not Paid the Sprinkling Tax. Dave Joseph, President of the St. Louis Improved Street Sprinkling Co., is trying to score a point against the contractors who are now doing the work he failed on and is trying to make a counter play to the one made by them some time ago, when they charged him with not paying his taxes. Inretaliation Mr. Joseph produces proof from the Oollector’s offive that John, Joseph, Charles and Hen Schuerman, of the firm of Scuerman Bros. Co., and Hen O. Pollman have not paid their sprinkling taxes. This Mr. Joseph urges is good and sufficient reason for maxing a kick, and says that the same arguments that worked against him apply now. The memorandum from the Oollector’s office as obtained by Mr. Joseph shows that the Schuerman’s are 28 behind on the sprinkling bilis for nineteen pieces of prop- erty, and the Polimans $28.78 on four pieces. The fight is being made by Joseph now as it was by the other sprinkling contractors when he was on top and got the centracts awa from tem. They charged him wit almost every conceivable offense but did not succeed in doing him any harm, although they caused hima great deal of annoyauce. Finally Joseph falled on his contracts, not because of the attacks of the other contrac- tors, but because of his inability to carry out the contracts at the price he bia. Then those who had done all the howling stepped in and got the work temporarily at very geod terms and now bave the work under contract. Mr. Joseph is out im the cold, and in his turn mak - ing the fight. Ever since the 8&t. Louis Im- peeved Street Spriukling Co. was established n St. Louis they have been fighting the con- tractors, andthe charges now made by Mr. Joseph are Dut another chapter in the long story of chargé and counter charge. A call was made at the Sprlakling Tax De- artment of the Collector's office and Mr. ober, who isin charge, declared that the statement of Mr. Joseph was correct accord- ing to the reoords of the office. ext, a visit was made to the office of Schuerman Bros. 4 Co., but none of the mem- bers ofthe firm were in. The gentleman in charge of the office said he did not know — 8 thing concerning special sprink- ling tax bills the mem- bers of the firm. e remarked, the charge against Mr. Joseph was not that he did mot pay any special tax- bill, but that hie company did not pay any general tax. His excuse was that he boarded at the Southern Hotel and owned no property which could be taxed. These delinquent special tax-bills show that the Schuermans and some ofthe other sprinklers hold taxable property here at any rate. They must pay a general tax, and these special tax- bills are liens against their property. The collectors“ office has never had any trouble over the collection of special sprinkling taxes, as the rate of assessment is so done that it is cheaper to pay than to make a fuss. ABOUT TOWN. A DEFECTIVE flue caused a blaze in a quan- tity of clothing at the room of Mrs. Annie Hierschfelder, -3934 North Broadway, at 5:30 o’clock this morning. No alarm was given. The damages are slight.

Parliament Prerogued. Loypoyn, Aug. 18.—Parliament was pro- rogued to-day. The Queen’s speech was read by the Lord Chancellor. It says that the relations of Her Majesty’s govern- ment with the foreign powers continue to be pacific. Friendly attention had been called to the inconveniences which might arise from a possible conflict over terri- torial claims in Africa. Therefore the Queen's Government was negotiating with the powers mainly concerned with the purpose of defining the boundaries within which the action of the respective governments should be confined. The arrangement with Germany, closing the most dim - cult of these questions, was completed and Her Majesty's ministers laid before: Parlia- ment the history of those negotiations which had resulted in the cession of Heligoland to Germany. The speech then announces the arrange- ments with France whereby the French Algerian territory is separated from that of the British Niger company. The agreement for a British protectorate over Zanzibar and the placing of Madagascar under the protection of the French is also explained. With regard to the Behring Sea complications Her Majesty: in- forms Parliament that she offered to submit them to arbitration for settlement. The speech states that the case of the New- foundland and French fisheries dispute is one which is occupying the anxious attention of the Government. An Indian Officer Dead. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 18.—The Journal’s Bismarck (N. D.) special says: George Fari- bault, chief of the Indian police at the Staud- ing Rock agency, is dead. He was the Daniel Boone of Minnesota anda man of great in finence among the Indians, being himself a quarter breed. He saved the lives of many whites during the Indian troubles. Swam the English Channel. Lonpow, Aug. 18.—Davis Dalton, the Amer. loan swimmer, has successfully achieved his task of swimming the English Channel on his back from Folkestone to Cape Grizzne on the coast of Franoe. Dalton was in the water twenty-three hours and thirty minutes, and atthe finish was in excellent condition and still possessed most of his strength. He was piloted by a boat which kept within easy reach of the swimmer throughout the trial. Threwn From a Buggy. Last evening while John McDonnell of 1421 Norta Fourteenth street was returning ina buggy with his wife and daughter froma funeral the horse became frightened at the corner of Grand and Florrisant avenues and ran away. The buggy was overturned and the ocoupants thrown out, Mr. and Mrs. MoDon- nell receiving numerous cuts and bruises. The daughter escaped injury. Jumped From a Windew. At 12:30 yesterday morning a gasoline stove expioded in a room on the second story of No. 1517 Chestnut street and so excited Nettie Mitchell, the oceupant, that she jumped out of the window to the ground, a distance of seventeen feet, badiv bruising her about the head and ehoulders. Damage to furniture, Swallowed Creosote, Lucinda Flowers, a 2s-year-old child, at 8214 Franklin avenue, swallowed a small dose of creosote yesterday afternoon. She was ainfully burned, but Dr. Haw alleviated Ene pain and the child will i 7” > 9 * J 1 the World in Action and Inhabitants. From the National Review, The hive is analogous to human society, in that the male sex has the best part of exist- ence, the most comfortable and favorable lot. Let us see. The drones are te lazy fathers of the industrious hive,’’ The queen is the one and only fully developed female in each hive, but there are, at a certain season, a vast number of idle gentlemen lounging around. The community ofa bive consists generally, in the midst of summer, of from 80,000 to 40,000 bees, aad these perhaps 1,500 may be drones. They are Known at a giance by their burly, heavy ee vy and a closer examination shows at they have neither the stings nor the leg baskets which distinguish the working and struggling mem- bers ofthe community. The drenes fly out when they like, but not to gather honey. This they eat, at thelr luxuriant pleasure, out of the cells where the workers store it up. They do nothing whatever in the hive to carn their keep. They may be seen lazily and aim- lessly strolling about, as though with their hands in their pockets, or propping them- selves up in convenient spots and going off to sleep for hours together. The One purpose for which they are called into being is to ac- cept the handkerchief, if by chance or favor it is throwm them by the queen. „. *This does net seem so bad, doesit? Me- thinks I have seen perhaps one or two, or say three, male human creatures who might not objectto take the post of drone in a Soci alist State. But softiy, all is not yet told. The — g ot lite of a drone must now be dis- played. The drones are produced only during that short season ot the year when swarming takes place; that is to say, the earliest comers of their kind hateh out of the eggs about the end of April. Before three mont have elapsed from that date nota drone istobeseen. All are dead, and nearly all have been killed with the most barbareus cruelty. It Resembles A MOVING MOUNTAIN Irresistibly Fercing Its Way Across the Columbia River, From the Astorian. A traveling mountain is found at the cas- cades of the Columbia. It is a triple peaked mass of dark brown basalt, six or eight miles in length where it fronts the river and rises to a height of almost 2,000 feet above the water. That it is in motion is the last thought that would be likely tosuggest itself, to the mind of any one passing it; yet it is a well-estab- lished fact that this entire mountain is movin slowly but steadily down the river as if it had a deliberate purpose some time in the future to dam the Celumbia and form a great lake from the cascades to the Dalles. The indian traditions indicate immense movements of the mountains hereabouts long before white men came to Oregon, and the early settlers—immigrants, many of them, from New England-—gave the above descriped mountainous ridge ‘the name of ‘‘traveling mountain,’’ or sliding mountain. In its forward and downward movement the forests along the base of the ridge have become sub- merged in the river. Large tree stubs can be seen standing deep in the water on this shore. The railroad engineers and the brakemen find that the iine of the railroad which skirts the foot of the mountain is being continually forced out of place. At certain points the railroads and rails have been pushed eight or ten feet out of line in the course of afew years, Geologists at- tributed this strange phenomenon to the fact that the basalt, which constitutes the bulk of the mountain, rests on a substratum of con- glomorate, or of soit sandstone, which the deep, swift current of the mighty river is constantly pe arb away, or thatthis softer sub-rock is of itself 8 at great depths, to the enormous weight of the harder; mate- rial above. THEY LOOK LIKE LEAVES, Seme Insects That Can Hardly Be Distia- tinguished Frem Parts of Trees. From the Saturday Review. At a recent meeting of the London Zoolog- loal Society for scientific business, Mr. Sclater called attention to a specimen of a leaf insect living in the society’s insect-house, which had deen received “from the Seychelles and presented by Lord Walsing- ham. The leaf insects, of which but few species are known, belongto the same family (phasimids) as the stick insects, and both are marvelous illustrations of mimicry in mature. They are ail nocturnal in their habits, and spend their days resting on trees and bushes, the leaves of which form their foed, and their resemblance, respectively, te the leaves and twigs is so extraordinary that itis not surprising that they escape the ob- servation of their enemies. The leaf insects are most singular; the head and part ef the therax form a stalk, while the abdomen, which is flat, thin, and much dilated, exactly resembles a leaf. The legs, which are six in number, have broad mem- branous appendages on the thighs, and these are especially notiesable on the forelegs; the result being thatthe creature, while resting immovable has the e of a leat which has been gnawed on both sides bya cater- pillar. In the insect at the Zoo this resemblance is most exact, and tne illusion is heightened by the coloring which makes it re 8 withered at the edges. It is the habit of the insect to hang back downward, with the abdomen slightly curled up, and, te quete Mr. Murray: ‘‘This habit brings to ligh asother beautiful con- trivance for still farther beightening its re- semblanee to a leaf. The upper surface is Opaque green, the undersurface glossy, glit- tering green, just the reverse of the myrtle or guava leaf, so that by reversing its position a etna the glossy side up and the dull side .“ Additien al Cotton Markets, LIVERPOOL — Spot, 6864; + 4,000 bales receipts, 3,000 bales, of which 00 America f Saturday.

Cattle—The cattle market at the Union yards to- day was quite active, with a good feeling all around and prices steadily maintained at the advance of 300 r 100 ibs, as noted last week. The run of all kinds of cattle was light and there was almost an absolute absence of good butcher cattle,and buyers as & result could not get their full trade supply. The cow and cal market has a more improved tone especially on the good to choice grades bat de- low that the market continues to persistently drag. Sausage bulls, good heifers, steers and butcher cows are all wanted. Kverything in the pens found — Barere to-day, and the market closed steady and strong.

THE ST. LOUIS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM TO- LEAD THE COUNTRY- a Attractions Needed to Make Ita Magnificent Parks More Desirable Pleasure Resorts— The Lindell Road Running Out to De Balaviere Avenue—Mayor Noonan’s Purchase—Netes Amang the Agents. The changes that are being made in the street railway system of St. Louls from horse cars to cable and electric roads far exceed im - provements of that character now in progress in any of the western towns, Chicago not ex- cepted, and when they are completed the Future Great will be equipped with the most novel and dest approved methods of local transportation to be found anywhere inthe country. Itis true that St. Louis has not yet commenced to build its ele- yated road, but the advantage to the city at large in the substitution of cabie or electric power to take the place of horses and mules on all of the important Ines, .will be far greater than would follow the construction of two elevated roads. By next summer the prospects are that it will be somewhat, of a novelty to see a horse car on any ot the downtown streets, and when the — roads with their elegant equipment are = ration carrying passengers m four eight miles in various courses to the north, south and west in palatial coaches running — ni ed an opportunity will then afforded visitors to see and appreciate the ox. tent of St. Louls and the attractions of its magnificent residence ont gs T ke for which 8t. may then be readily reached within a few minutes’ ride by numerous roads at a 5 cent fare, and when the people can once reach them. conveniently and oheaply there will then bean additial incentive to have thege resorts made even more beautiful than they are by * a greater variety of flowers, fountains es and blooming water plants. The — * are charming places now, but theyare lacking in attractions for the masses, who want something more than 4 street car ride to a shady spot where there is nothing to be had but fresh air. What St. Louls parke need most is a greater expanse of water where any number of neat littie row boats may be had at small oost, and nothing would please children in the parks more than saddle ponies, burros and pony carte, and little park ee for the youngsters to ride and drive in at their own sweet will. Out of such attractions and means of amusement some one would make money, and the privi- lege to do so should not be denied under wise regulations for the public good, for until some pastimes of this kind are provided the parks will fail to fully meet the ge for which they were intended. park drives of St. Louis are now alt” “that could be wished and much superior to the boasted boulevards of most other cities, but the masses not inclined to pay for a horse and buggy for a day’s pleasure have no proper means of enjoying them. It is for the latter class that the parks are most intended, but the pleasure has heretofore been largely de- nied them for want of cheap and quick trans- portation in reaching them, and the lack also of innocent amusements. A proper 9 of these defects of the park system, followed by improvements sug- gested, would do more to advertise St. Louis and enhance the value of its real estate than the incidental cost would amount to if expended in any other direction, for the attractions would draw people out of the old central districts, where something could be seen to Impress the mind with the importance of the gn S TO DE BALIVERE AVENUD. The Lindell Railway Co., has been running its new electric motors out Delmar avenue to King’s highway for nearly two weoks past and would have them making tripe out to Forest Park regularly by this time but for the delay in making the engines get ger sufficient electric power. new extension from Vandeventer west is meeting with very patronage and the people west of King’s ighway residing in Clemens and Cabanne place“ are clamoring to have the road ex- tended out further west so that the 2 may get the benefit of the rapid transit. r. Capen, president of the company, says it will be im- possible to run the electric cars out that far until he gets the additional en- gines, but in order to accommodate the public as best he can he will temporarily puta line ot horse cars on Delmar avenue to run between De Balivere avenue and King*’s highway, where connections will be tayex with the electricroad. This, however, is only a temporary arrangement which will be done away with as soon as the new eiectric engines are in operation. To make this western extention of the road more accessible for suburban residents living beyond the four mile radius, the company propose putting down crosswalks for several blocks alon streets crossing the main line north an south. Mr. Capen says he will have the horse car extension in operation within the next forty-eight hours. PURCHASED BY THE MAYOR. Mayor K. A.

SEBIOUS AFFRAY ON A TRAIN, Toughs Shoot a Negro and Cause a Panic Among the Passengers. CINCINNATI, Aug. 17.—For some time a crowd of laborers working in the Addington Pipe & Coal Yards at Coal City nave been com- ing into town every Saturday night and filling up on liquor. They always take the accom- modation train and fight going out. Saturday might about twelve of them got om the train drunk, and when out about fifteen miles picked up a fight with Sil Lewis, a celored man. One of the toughs pulled a revelver and shot Lewis jn the abdomen. The oar was crowded with passengers, among whom were many ladies.

OVERTURNED HER MIND, The Troubles of Pretty Kate Hetfield, a Rahway Girl. New YORE, August 18.—Pretty Miss Kate Hetfield ran screaming out of her father’s house at Rahway, N. J., Saturday evening. Her clothing was disarranged and she was greatly excited. The young woman ran into Grove’s livery stable and sprang into a buggy to which a horse was being hitched. In a dramatic manner ehe delivered a rambling speech, im which she said detectives had been following her, but that she was innocent and virtuous. Efforts were made to get the girl eut of the buggy, but she kept her _ place until Dre. Hough and Daly and her father arrived. Dr. Daly induced the girl to go home with him. Before going she kissed her father and asked his forgiveness. He said be would do so, but proposed to shoot an Elizabeth man whom he accused of ruin- ing uls daughter. Miss Hetfield is a brunette years old and is an heiress to consider- able property. She has beer-acting strange ly — last Thursday. Her father says that on hursday night he founda yeung man who lives in Elizabeth with his daughter and at- tempted to brain him with a flat iron, but the man ecaped through the asistunce of Kate and her sister Lydia. Hetfleld says he hunted alloverthe town for the man, hut could not find him. He now thereatene to shoot him on sight. Her troubles are believed to have overturned Miss Hetfield’s mind.

Mrs. Mary Rothschild, living at 507 South Broadway, was last night robbed of money and jewelry to the value of $1,100. The prop- erty was keptina small safe, the combina- tion of which was known only by herself and a fellow boarder named Charles Ballard. Ballard had requosted her to place $130 in the Safe for security afew days ago, but on Fri- day last asked for a pertion thereof as he wanted to attend a fuseral. Mrs. Rothschild being very busy at the time, told bin the - combination and he got the money himself. Ballard is now at the Four Courts awaiting in- vestigation. He has hitherto borne an excel- leat reputation. MRS. WINSLOW'S Soothing Syrup Is an uner- celled medicine for children while teething. 250 Arrested en an Old Charge.

The improvements will be very com- plete. A fine residence will be b superintendent and trainers, andthe stables will be large and commodious. Box stalls will be erected for the horses, and the pasture land will be divided off into numerous pad- docks. It is also probable that a small circu- lar track will be constructed similarto those at Paio Alto for the purpose of working baby trotters, for the place is not to be exclusively devoted to thoroughbreds, but the trotters and pacers will also be represented. “a the >. a — a N Dixon and McCarthy. Macon in Cincinnati Enquirer. Georgie Dixon’s success in England seems to have turned his head oompletely. When he was told on the Etruria that Cal McCarthy wanted another go with him, he loftily announced that he could have it for $5,000 a side and not a penny less.“ My! Oh, my! What a long tall our little black cat has got! When it was announced here thatthe Pelican Club of London would give a large-sized purse for a fight between Cal Me- Carthy and Dixon, Oal immediately an- nounced his willingness to accept its offer, and to go to Engiand and meet Dixon. Then it was stated thatthe report was untrue, and Dixon’s backer, O’Rourke, was quoted here as saying that ne euch offer would be made by the Pelicans. Now Dixon says that heand O’ Rourke would have waited a month longer in England for a match ofthe kind. Perhaps he weuld, but his raising the ante to $6, looks as though he was net nearly so anxious to meet McCarthy again as he would have | people believe. He was willing enough to make afresh match in Boston the day after they fought, but then Cal had a crippled arm and hand, and the other could be made in safety, for it could not be accepted. But now he tries different tactics and endeavors to raise Cal out ot the game. I am willing to admit that Dixon is a far better man than 1 thought him, or, perhaps, Ishould say that Nune Wallace is not as good asl had reason to believe he was, but the Boston bantam’s present mode of proceduce shows that he feels in his heart that McCarthy is his master, and he Is as anx- lous as possible te put off another meeting with him. At all events it looks this way toa man up a tree. Perhaps the Pelican Club wil cut the Gordian knot by offering a purse fora go between them. Ifit does the lad who fails to accept its offer will be the one who lacks the sand. 7 Dempsey and Fitzsimmons. The friends of Jack Dempsey are somewhat nonplussed over his non-acceptance of the offer of the Olympic Clubof New Orleans, writes Macon. It will de remembered that it offers apurse of $4,500fora go between the Nonpareil and Bob Fitzsimmons. The latter is not in perfect health, yet he immediately an- nounced his willingness to meet Dempsey, only asking for sufficient time to get himself thoroughly in condition. He says he will hardly be able to meet Dempsey before next December. Jack's friends believe that he is waiting until he reaches this city and consults his friends before responding to the offer. Fer doing this he cannot be blamed. The Australian isa middle weight in avoirdupols only. Asix-footerin height, he has a tre- mendous reach,even for a man of his inches, and he is quick and scientific as well. Should Jack and the long-legged antipodean ever meet in a rug and the latter be defeated the victory will wash out all remembrance of the marine fluke. * The Bartams. From the New York Sun. There seems to be quite a dispute among the bantam- weight fighters of this vicinity over who shall get the next chance at Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider, or Tommy Russell, the little Harlemite who recently defeated Jack Fanmning of Boston in three rounds. Among the most ambitious of the littie fel- lows looking for Aight are Eddie Avery of WIII- lamsburgh, who made such quick work of Hughey Boyle ashorttime ago, and Spider Miller and Billy Murray, of the west side, who claims the 110-pound championship. Russell is looking after Kelly’s scalp, but the latter will do no more fighting until he clears himself of the little scrape he got into through meeting Benny Murphy some seven weeks ago. Avery has been around the city for several days past, leoking to get on with Russel for a finish fight. Toareporter of the Sun yesterday he said: ‘*‘lam pen to meet Tommy Russell for any part ef S00aside to a finish, with bare knuckles, skin or two-ounce gloves, it mat- ters not which he names. I’ve heard a great deal about his fighting qualities of late, and I’d just like to tackle him. He can get ona nratoh with me by naming a place and time of mecting through the Sun. Murray throws him out an offer a shade bet- ter than Avery’s. He says: As far asl can understand Russell can’t get any backing, but I' fight him for a purse ef 6500, of which I’ll procure $300, and he to furnish the remaining §200, but, if he can get backing, I’M bet him any part of $1,000 on the outside. He can ar- range a match with me by calling atthe Ius trated News office.’’ Spider Miller offers to fight for $100 a side and a purse, but he stands a poor chance of getting on a match. Racing at Brotherhood Park. Another splendid crowd witnessed yester- day’s races at Brotherhood Park, and all who were there saw a magnificent lot of races. An excellent programme has been arranged for next Sunday. It will include the unfinished pacing race, unfinished mule race;a rack, best two in three, mile heats, a trotting race of mile heats, three ta five, ard a burro race. Entries must be sent ia before Friday noon to Larry Kavanaugh, No. 1325 Nortn Broadway. Leahy and Wieneke. Dan Leahy and Herman Wieneke of the Mis- sour! Amateur Athictic Club have returned to the city. Leahy contested in four events at the games ofthe Irish-American Societies at Kansas City on Friday and took first rize in all of them. He threw pounds weight, 18 feet 6 inches, breaking the Western record, Although Wieneke failea to get better than third place in the ce vault at Chicago he did a most remarka- le performance beating the Western record by several inches. The record was formerly 10 feet 4% inches made by him in this city and at Chicago he cleared 10 fect 8 inches. He bad a handicap, however, of 2 feet 8 inéhes to overcome on a man who cleared 9 feet. This made the height 11 feet 8 inches, and it was of course too much for the St. Louis ath- lete to overcome. Leahy is loud ia his —— 5 the treatment received by him at Kansas Oity. Base Ball Games Yesterday. The Athietics and Browns came near having a Donnybrook Fair time of it at Sportsman’s Park yesterday afternoon. There was a great deal of wrangling and three or four severe New 1 56% 4. Cleveland. eeeeeceeeeeeeeee Pittsburg „ ee dtestes 888888 88888 8 Sr Rechester vs. Browns To-Morrow. To-morrow the Rochester team will open a series of three games with.the Browns at Sportsman“ Park. The Rochesters are play- ing avery stiff game and no doubt will keep the Brewns guessing all through the series. Bob Barr will oocupy the box for them in to- morrow’s game and Mctiuire, the veteran catcher, wiil support him behind the bat. The Browns battery will be Ramsey and Munyan. The game will bégin at 4 p. m., with Bob Bmalie doing the umpiring. Base Ball Notes. Hart pitched a good game yesterday. Yesterday’s crowd was the largest of the séason. The Browns couldn’t get thelr eye on the ball yesterday. The Athietics are the worst kickers seen here this season. Tom Ramsey wants to pitch the whele three games against Louisville. Bob Emslie says he would not like to um- pire the Louisville series here. The Brantners defeated the Unions by a soore of 30 to 0. They will play the Granites next Sunday. The Athletics have two good pitchers in Micky Hughes and MoMahon. Both of them are ‘‘smilers.’’ The Kurekas went to St. Genevieve yester- day and defeated the Riversides of that place by a score of 10 to 4. Ramsey and Chamberlain are both anxious to down the Louisvilles. Both of them are pitching good ball too. Bob Emsiie has pretty near earned his menth’s salary inthe Athietic-Browns series. Bob says that that kind of base ball was new to bim this season. Louisville won and the Browns lost yester- day. Butif the Athletics do what is right and play their game at Loulaville, there may be an awful drop for the Celonels. Marblehead Regatta. MARBLEHEAD, Mass., Aug. 18.—A fine racing day for the Oor!nthian races is promised. The wind is northwest and increasing and if it holds from this quarter the race will be a lee- ward one. A Dog Fight. CHICAGO, Aug. 18.—A dog fight for $500 be- tween Jack the Ripper, owned by Farmer Bros., ahd Dennis, thé property of Mickey Free, took place yesterday in Indiana, just across the State line. Thefight lasted for two hours and thirty-six minutes, when it was given to Jack the Ripper. Dennis had his jaw broken and one leg knockedout. He was taken out and shot. The victorions dog lost one eye inthe controversy. Two thou- sands dollars changed hands on the fight. Sporting Notes. The trotting meeting at Washington Park, Chicago, which opens this afternoon will con- tinue all week. Harry Jewett of Chicago, a Notre Dame student, broke the American amateur record for a hop, step and jump at Detroit yesterday, clearing 44 feet 8% inches. The record was 44 feet inches. Jewett’s hop was 17 feet. Book betting on Eastern races every after- noon during races at the Fair Grounds by J. G. Hambrick. ALTON, ILL. The Bluff Line Wreck—Resumed Operations —Interesting Items.

A GRAND DISPLAY OF COLORADO MINERALS FOR THE sr. LOUIS EXPOSITION. The Colorado Miners Arranging fer the Largest and Mest Complete Display of Silver Ores That Has Ever Been Cel- lected—A Permanent Expesitien Will Probably Be Opened in This City. HE preparations that the miners, not only of Colorado, but also of other sections of the country, are making to be represented at the St. Louis Expos- ion, sald W. R. 8 Hayward of Denver, who is at the Southern, are on a scale never before attempted, and will insure such a dis- play of the mineral wealth of the country as has never been known. I am a member of the committee that has been organized in Denver to take charge of the collection of specimens, and to make all arrangements for the exhibit, and have closely followed every- thing that has been done. We have at other times and in other places made some attempt ot an er- hibit, but there has heretofore been little concert of management, nearly everything was lefttothe individual mine- owners, and the consequence was that there has never been a full and fair exhibit of the mineral resources of Colorado. A NEW DEPARTURE. „Last spring the Denver Board of Trade determined totake thematter up and see that affairs were conducted on a consistent and comprehensive plan. Letters were writ- ten to the authorities of each mining county and ofeach mining town, and the appoint- ment of one or more members toa central committee was asked. In addition to this a subscription ranging from $600 to $3,000 was requested to be expended under the direction of the general Committee, Wefound that the county and city officiala were most anxious to co-operate with us, and in nearly every case the subscription was made. When it was seen how eager the people were to take ad- vantage of the opportunity for securing a full display, the plan that we started with, simply to collect specimens for the St. Louis Expo- sition, was greatly enlarged. It was deter- mined to prepare at once a display for the World's Fair, to keep it in St. Louis until the fair opened, and then to send it to Chicago. It was then sugyested that steps be taken to make the display a permanent one, and this met with universal favor. A GRAND DISPLAY. „The mine owners have come to the front with great liberality, beth as regards the contribution of specimens and donations ef money. We have over $50,000 in hand, and the specimens cost us little or nothing. The pian preposed will be to make the display one that can be understood by the ordinary oiti- zon as well as the mining © rt. The ex- .hibit will be arranged with reference to the value of product as well as the different kinds of ore. r instance, take Lake County, in which Aville is situated, will occupy a space commensurate with its out- put. The specimens will not simply be sucn as can be put in glass cases, but great masses of ore will beshown. The Lake County ex- hibit will weigh many tons, and in bullion value alone will exceed $100,000. Other dis- tricts will be allotted space in accordance with their output, and each variety of ore will be carefully viassed in reference to its value. The silver ores of Colorado are by no means all of the same kind, there being greater var i- ety in appearance and chemical composttion among them than in any other silver dis- trict in the world. of the machinery used in tne treatment of each kind of ore will form part of the ex- hibit, and a visitor to tho Exposition who knows nothing about mines oan learn In a few hours more about ore than he could in months spent in the camps where they are produced, THE PERMANENT EXHIBIT. „„The manner in which Colorado men have taken the matter up has attracted attention from others quarters, and we bave had let- ters asking thatother States and Territories be allowed to tribute to our display. This request we are not yet prepared to grant, as we wish to have the Colorado exhibits stand out separate from any other, but we have informed the quirers of the plans that we have pursued and given them the benefit of our experience, as it is to the interest ofall mining men that the mineral wealth of the country shall be properly represented at Chicago. We will doubtiess make some additions before We send the dis. play to Chicago, but the exhibit to be made this fall at St. Louis willbe substantially the same as that which will appear at the World’s Fair. In reference to the permanent exhibit, its location has not yet been definitely decided upon, but most of our men favor this city. Twe Days Lenger—G lobe Shevel Em Out.

STRANGE STORY CONCERNING JESSE JAMES AND THE FORD BROTHERS- What Was the Sensational Story That the Fords Had to Tellin Reference, to the Killisg?—Their Silence Secured by a Telegram Just as They Were About to Tell Their Tale. By Telegraph to the POsT-Nrararow. St. Joskrn, Mo., Aug. 18. — HE killing of Jesse James, the notori- ous outlaw, dy the Ford brothers was one of the greatest sensations that ever agitated the people of Missouri, and the methods by which the re- moval of the fa- mous desperado was secured have always been more or less shrouded in ** mystery. That the Ford brothers know far more than they ever told has long been the opinion of many residents of this city whe were familiar with their conduct while in the jail, A gentieman connected with an evening paper in the capacity of a reporter at the time when the Ford brothers were in prisoa await- ing trial makes some statements which tend to prove that facts of the greatest interest in the case were suppressed, and that they at one time very nearly came to light. The re- porter made himself popular with the Fords, and from them secured a promise that it they had anything to tell he should be give the information. For several days after the Fords had given themselves up the wires be- tween Jefferson City and St. Joseph were actively worked by the officials, and a contro- versy arose between City Marshal Oraig and the officers sent by the Governor to take charge of the Fords. The latter became exceedingly restless, and finally stated to the reporter that they had important information in their possession which they were not at liberty to disclose at that time, but which it might be necessary ultimately to divuige for their own A SENSATION SED. One afternoon Charlie Ford followed the reporter to the jail door as he was departure and hurriedly wh are ng back on us and We are 2 os a hand ourselves. Be fo hear from | us to-morrow sometime.’’ Nan od and satis- exactly wh | when the un the country would be el — every d about would — sell what, bed .—4 e an we don’ individuais will regret the day ——— useless is | departed Telephone 2840. ten minutes the reporter was inside the jail, when Charlie remarked: Get your note book and pencil ready for 2 o’clock this afternoon, and we will give you a little surprise that will make the killing of Jesse James itself seen as tame as a dog fight. When he said ‘‘the killing of Jesse James,’’ the brothers looked at each other and smiled in their old knowing way. The killing of Jesse, Charile went on, gave 8t. Joseph a big surprise, but just walt until you hear what we have to tell this afternoon, and when you print it the town will have a sensation that is worth talking about. It was seen plainly from the change in the manner of the brothers that they bad made up their minds to do some aggressive work, and the com- munication they were to make was to be the first shot, THE APPOINTMENT. After Charlie had told two or three times that the facts they had to divulge would prove much more sensational than those connected with the shooting of Jesse had, an earnest endeavor was made to get the story before leaving them, going upon the principle that a bird in the hand is worth twointhe copse. They refused, however, and insisted upon the interview taking lace at the ap- pointed time in the afternoon. As the reporter went out Charlie was smiling as he walked with him from the cage doorand said, ‘‘Won’t the people be astonished this evening when we let the cat out of the bag and this matter takes a shape they are not even dreaming of;’’ and turning back toward his cell he said, „Well Jesse has been com- letely identified.’’ He then retreated with a — and an expression upon his face that greatly increased the desire to hear more. At 1:45 o’clock a return was made to the jail accompanied by a reliable citizen who was to be present by request during the interview. The turnkey admitted the visitors, and going to the cell the reporter took out his note and said: ‘‘Now, boys, we are at your serv- oo. The bed inthe cell was the only place where one could sit down, and while arrang- ing to make himself as comfortable as poss ble for the important disclosures, door began to rattle and the soon heard revoly- admitting another was heard to ery ou a der e fova of horrified fee war vor, well known in St. Joseph and Kansas City, and who was employedin the case, stood before the door with a telegram in his and, n has come after, all. he said, **and the matter is all right. A MYSTERIOUS TELEGHKAM. They walked to the corner ofthe room and stood there conversing in a low tone for some time. Then they returned to the cell and be- fore they saida word it was known that the intended interview had deen indefinitely postponed. ‘‘We have just rec a some news, said Charlie Ford, *‘w loh whs on- tirely unexpected, and which makes it impos- sible for us to tell you what we were going to.
