Efforts of the Liberals to Amend the Criminal Conspiracy Law. DISASTROUS STORM AND FLOODS ON THE ISLAND OF MASSOWAKH. The Insurgents in Chili Steadily Gaining Ground — Murderer Eyraud’s Death Sentence—The African. Slave Trade— Paris and the Suppression of “Ther- midor’’—Affairs in the Dominion—Mr. Goschen and Finances—Foreign News, LONDON, Jan. 29.—The Liberals scored another point with the workingmen yester- day, in the motion of Mr. Robertson of Dun-« dee to amend the law relating to criminal conspiracy. The Government secured the defeat of the motion by only a majority of 36, and the defgat is almost as good for the Lib- eral purpeses as a victory. The motive for amending the law is the decision by the Re- corder of Plymouth thata strike for the pur- pose of compelling employers not,to employ other persons is illegal and renders all persons engaged in it lable to prosecution as crimi- nal conspirators and subject to fine or imprisonment. by a coal merchant who employed non-union men and whose union hands were called out on that account. The union secretaries were prosecuted and the recorder fined them each £20. The recorder’s decision is far-reaching, {j and, until the law Is amended, makes all who strike or who promote a strike on account of non-union hands being employed, guilty of crime. The workingmen are determined that the law shall be amended, and Mr. Robertson, who represents a workingmen’s constituency, has made the first move in that direction and got Lord Salisbury’s government again com- mitted as opposed to the working classes. A SINGULAR INCIDENT. LONDON, Jan. 29.—A singular and historic incident was the presentation to Lord Mayor Savory, in behalf of the French Protestant population of London of an address of thanks for the asylum afforded to the French Hugue- nots and their descendantsin London. This has been customary with every new Lord Mayor since 1654, when the Huguenots were first received as fugitives from persecution in France. Itis unusually interesting on this occasion for the reason that the Lord Mayor is himself of Huguenot descent, and one of the very class that thanked him, as Chief Magistrate, for London’s hospitality to the refugees. THE DUCHESS OF EDINBURGH. LONDON, Jan. 29.—The Duchitss of Edin- burgh, sister of the Czar of Russia, is win- ning golden opinions at Davenport, where her husband, the Duke, is stationed as conf- mander. She has spent a good part of her time since her arrival, a week ago, in visiting and condoling with the families of the men who were lost with the steamer Serpent, and in every case she left a substantial memorial of her visit. The ball to the Duke and Duchess on Friday last was one of the most magnif- cent affairs of the season. No less than 1,200 teckets were issued. THE COLONIES OF AUSTRALIA. LONDON, Jan. 29.—The colonies of Australia } have asked the home Government to accord em the privilege, possessed by Canada, of rai tin commercial treaties with foreign countries under the sanction of the Foreign Office, THE RECENT FINANCIAL CRISIS; LONDON, Jan. 29.—Mr. Goschen, speaking at Leeds last evening, said that provisions The complaint was brought’ should be madeto render it unnecessary to. seek foreign aid in the event of a repitition of such a crisis as that which had arisen in con- nection with the recent troubles of the Baring Bros. Headdedthat he was now engaged with the Bank of England in devising a scheme to strengthen the country’s perma- nent resources. Heclaimed it was the duty of the great banking institutions of the country to assist therein. Under certain con- ditions he would embark in the issue of pound notes. Mr. Goschen declared that the note- printing process ina financial crisis was a danger, not a resource. He would be no party to the expulsion of gold from the coun- try by an excessive use of any fiduciary cur- rency. Mr. Goschen declared emphatically that he preferred a stock of £20,000,000 in gold under central control to £30,000,000 in the pockets of the public. He suggested the issue of sovereign and half sovereign notes against the gold, condition- al on the maintenance of a cash reserve considerably larger than is required to meet the ordinary exigencies of banking. In regard toa plan to secure the latter con- dition he considered the American provision requiring banks to keep a fixed proportion of their deposits in cash as excessive. He advo- cated the issue of half sovereign notes against silver. Mr. Goschen also proposed a second gold reserve, to be touched only at moments of commercial peril. His whole speech was tentative, being intended to attract opinions from the banking and commercial world. The Goats’ Blood Cure. PARIS, Jan, 29.—Much interest is manifested in medical circles here in regard to the **goats’ blood cure’’ for tuberculosis advo- cated by Drs. Bertin and Picg of the Nantes Faculty. These doctors, it will be remem- bered , injected fifteen grains of goats’ blood intg the thighs oftwo patients on Monday in this city, and asserted that cures can be brought about by renewing such injections every ten days. To-day they ‘announce that in the case of both these patients the fever | has abated. : ~ee MURDERER EYRAUD’S SENTENCE. PARIS, Jatt. 29.—The Rappel to-day an- | has nounced that the Committee on Pardon pronounced in favor of commuting the sen- | tence of death passed — Michael Eyraud, the murderer of Gouffe, one of imprison- ment for life. .

The ca receive the coffin was erected aber =s vents the grand transept and in front of the chancel. It was covered with a massive black canopy superbly ornamented with silver. Atriple row of tall candies in heavy silver candle-sticks surrounded the sarcophagus. Afi the candelabra in the Oa- thedral were lighted, and the choirs, from end to end, together with the grandly magnificent majn altar, were ablaze with lights, This gorgeous altar formed the cul- minating point of one of the most scenes ever witnessed within thig ancient historical cathedral. The approaches tothe palace of the Count of Flanders, father of the dead Prince, were thronged with carriages and lined with troops in bright uniforms. After the arrival at the palace of a procession + priests, robed in cottas and cas- s, the cortege began its solemn march to the cathedral. Mounted gendarmes, the cérps of guides and the civic guard headed the procession. Following these | bodies of troops, came the band of the Grena- diers of the Guard with muffled drums play- ing the ‘‘Dead March in Saul.’’ Next came a number of infantry regi- ments with which Prince Baudouin had been connected as an officer. . Each regiment carried its colors heavily draped with crape andon the left arm the soldiers wore a band of crepe. Next camethe clergy and the members of the royal house- holds, preceding the coffin, which was borne on ‘the shoulders of ten picked non- commissioned officers. . The presidents of the two Chambers and the ministers bore the pall. Next came King Leopold, who was so overcome with emotion that he walked with a halting step and with his head bowed down with sorrow. The Count of Flanders, ing bitterly, walked behind King pptiee having his son, Prince Albert, on his right and Prince Henry of Prussia. on his left. The funeral car, covered with beautiful wreaths. of flowers, was drawn by six black horses harnessed with black trappings and led “by footmen in mourning liveries. The Prince’s body was conveyed upon this cartothe royal crypt inthe chapel of the Castle of Leken, a mile or so outside thig city, where the interment took place. The Revolution in Chili. BUENOS AYRES, Jan. 29.—Advices received here from Chili show that the insurgents are steadily gaining ground. Soon after the bombardment of Port Coquimbo the rebel force occupied La Sereno without any oppo- sition on the part of the Government troops, though the latter occupied La Sereno in force, being quarteréd in the hospital, schools and other public buildings. The Gov- ernment troops upon the approach of the rebel forces from Poirt Coquimbo evacuated La Sereno and retreated inland, thus placing a fine harbor and a most advantageous base of supplies in the hands of the insurgents. THE FRENCH @QUADRON. Paris, Jan. 2.—Phe French squadron cruising in the sn of New Zealanc hag been ordered to Chill. hi A Missionary Schooner Wrecked. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal,, Jan. 29.—Private ad- vices from Tahiti, inthe Society Islands, re- ports that wreckage has been discovered, supposed to be from the missionary schooner Phoebe Chapman, which left Honolulu a year ago in charge of Elder J. H. Cudney of Ne-: braska, a ‘Second Advent missionary. The Chapman was bound for Pitcairn Island. She carried a crew of six men. All handsare now given up for lost and at the last General Con- ference of the Advent Society resolutions of condolence with Elder Cudney’s wife and ehildren were passed. Another missionary schooner was sent to the South Seas some months ago and reports that there is no . longer any doubt of Cudney’s fate. Affairs in the Dominion. Toronto, Ontario, Jan. 29.—In regard to the sudden return of Sir Charles Tupper from > London’ the Mail says: ‘‘If anything was wanted to confirm the rumors of a dissola- tion of Parliament this supplied it. Butthe visit means more than this. He will be the bearer of the opinions of Lord Salisbury on many questions which are interesting alike to Great Britain, Canada and the United po and will probably take an active part in negotiations that may take place at Washing- ton on reciprocity and kindred topics.’ oe

Kansas’ New Senator—A Pen-and-Ink Sketch of Judge Peffer—How Ingalls ; Takts His Defeat-—Senator Quay to - Reply inthe Senate to Charges Made ’ Against Him—General Political News. SPRINGFIELD, Il., Jan. 29.—Mr. Farmer, Democratic Senator from the district whichis represented in the Legislature by Dr. Watson and Mr. Oockrell, comes forward with a startling suggestion. The Senator says: ‘Let all three of the F. M. B. A. members resignand go pike constituents on the question of P —@nd anti-Palmer. Let them announce themselves as opposed to Palmer’s election. If they are all re-elected on that issue, Gen. Palmer will at once withdraw and the Democrats will makea fusion with them in support of any good farmer candiéate with which to beat the Re- publicans.’’ It is not probable that the W. M. B. A. men will consider this proposition, as they are afraid to face their constituents on the issues at stake. The election of a Senator would be accomplished much sooner in*that way than by the present line of action. The three farmer representatives continue to vote with the Republicans on all motions of adjourn- ment. They repeated this move yesterday, and promise a repetition every time’the mat- ter comes up. Felix Cockrell, brother of the Representa- tive, willtry to manage his brother at the proper moment, and the Democrats have some hope for the future, although Oockrell shows no signs of yielding. ? a. ¥ cae a »" . te. ‘ % : ay 3 ~ e - r a at “4 si - 4 _ - . prot ae Peale lon wie ' = rl —— —— 7 °. . oS 4 ¥ ’ Nes Bi, e » . > " . : ' . © , Serious Mishap in a Chicago Refrigera- tor Building This Morning NARKOW ESCAPE OF THREE WORKMEN AND HEAVY DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. > Boiler Explosion in a Saw-Mill—Two Men Killed—The Mammoth Mine, Disaster— Probability That the Number of Vic- tims Will Be 180—Other Casualties of CHICAGO, Ill., Jan, 29.—An explosion of ammonia gas, used in the ice machines of the Western Refrigerating Co. at 227 to 231 Michi- gan street, at 12:0 o’clock this morning, -¢ Caused great loss of property and came near resulting in the death of three mén. The oc- cupants of the building at thé time were Robert Hawley, the fireman; Joséph Breault, engineer, and George Hendricks. All three’ were in the engine room. Suddenly, without the least warning, a valve in one of the affi- monia cylinders blew out. The ammonia was under tremendous pressure, and the detonation was like the explosion of afi engine boiler, and owas heard (for several blocks. Hawley rushed toward the rear in the basement, choling with the suffocating gas which filled the room, The | other two, Breault anu Hendricks, were more self-posse$sed. One of them hastily unlocked the front basement door and both fied up the steps, just as the second explosion took place, throwing them sprawling upon the sidewalk. A third explosion occured al- most before they could regain their feet. The fire gained great headway and was pouring out of the big building from each of the win- dows ofits six floors. The building adjoins the house of Fire Company No. 11, and that company turned out at the first explosion, which almost threw the firemen out of their beds. Fireman Tom Casey of truck No. 6 fell through a hatchway on the second floor tothe floor below and was seriously, if not fatally, injured. He was taken out uncon- scious and taken tothe Alexian Brothers’ Hospital. He reteived anugly gashin his right side and was internally hurt. The loss on the building and contents is estimated at from $175,000 to $200,000, partially insured. Neither E. P. Baker nor H. W. Griswold, the secretary and president, could beseen. The estimated loss is as follows: Machinéry, $100,- 000; goods in store, $60,000; building, $40,000. Itis safetosay this is a conservative esti- mate and that the loss will run over $200,000. The company had recently purchased a num- ber of new refrigerating machines, the cost of which was $150,000. Besides these there was the stationary engine and the boilers. The Mammoth Mine Explosion. YOunNGwoop, Pa., Jan. 29.—There were many sad sights yesterday at the scene of the mammoth mine explosion. Over the coffin of one of the victims his wife stood for hours in the rain, refusing to allow any one to look atthe body. She would not leave until Gen- eral Manager Lynch ordered the body re- moved tothe man’shome. Andrew Schorisk’s body lay in a casket over the roadside, and his wife, with her children around her, leaned over it witha bible, prayer-book and rosary, crooning a wild slavic melody and sobbing bitterly. All the Hungarians who were identified were buried with religi- ous emblems in their coffins. The Coroner’s jury was empaneled, and after viewing the bodies adjourned until 10 o’clock a.jm., Feb. 5. BURYING THE VICTIMS. It is now thought the 107 bodies recovered about comprise the list of dead. The seventy- nine bodies buried in the Catholic cemetery last night were followed by another install- ment to-day. Therest of them will be interred privately with services atthe graves, which was not the case yesterday. A call for as- sistance has been issued by all dabor organi- zations in Pittsburg, and newspaper and business offices there are receiving subscrip- tions. It is thought by experts that the force of the explosion was augmented by the fine dry co@@dust in the mine which ignited when the fire damp exploded. MORE MINERS MISSING. A special from Mammoth mines says: This afternoon it was discovered by the rolls of the company that twenty-three more men are missing in addition to the 107 found dead. This increases the total dead to 130. It is probable the remaining twenty-three will not all be found for weeks, owing to the immense piles of wreckage that must be undermined. Twenty-seven more dead miners were buried atnoon to-day, many ofthe graves being marked ‘‘unknown’’ owing to the terrible mutiation. Master Workman Rae of the United Mine- workers is laboring with his colleagues to form more stringent mining laws for this State, and influential politicians are prepar- ing to push them in the Legislature. As itis, there seems to beno way for the people to reach the company for damages. Low Water in the Boiler. MEREDITH, Mich., Jan. 29.—The boiler in Herberson’s saw and shingle mill exploded yesterday morning, killing two men and in- juring six others. The building was com- pletely torn to pieces and fragments of iron were bent and twisted into every shape and strewn about the premises. Albert Finch, fireman, was thrown about forty feet and mangled beyond recognition. George Bodder, shingle sawer, was hurled about one hun- dred feet away, being Instantly killed. Mr. Herberson, owner of the mill, was only slightly injured. George Stone was seriously bruised about the head and shoulders. Walter Bennett had his headcut. Three others were more or less injured, The cause of the ex- plosion was low water in the boiler. ‘ The Rock Falls Mills Disaster. \STERLING, lll., Jan. 29.—Two more bodies have been recovered from the ruins ofthe Rock Falls paper mill, which blew up Tues- day night. ‘his makes four killed—John H. Myers, Wm. Bell, Samuel Schrader and Oliver Miller. The loss is estimated at over $75,000. Struck by an Engine. KaNnsAS CiTr, Mo., Jan. 29.—S. A.

CHILDLESS AMERICAN WOMEN, The Astonishing Figures Developed by the Census in Massachusetts. The fact that the total population of the United States has fallen below the popular estimate of 61,000,000 is likely to call attention to the fecundity of American women. The last State census of Massachusetts brings out some interesting facts inrelation tothe per- centage of married women having no chil- dren, which may set some of the hasty critics of the census thinking. Here isa table com- iled from the Massachusetts census showing he percentage of native and of foreign born women having children, MARRIED WOMEN WITHOUT CHILDREN. Native born.

SHE WANTED TO BE A QUEEN, A Boston Tailor’s Daughter Who Married a Prince and Played for a Throne. From the Chicago Post. The Countess d’Edlais the widow of Dom Fernando, the late ex-King Regent of Portu- gal, who was @ Prince of Sax@-Coburg before he married the heir to.the Portuguese throne. Sheis awoman witha remarkable history, which has a peculiar interest for Americans. The Countess was once a Miss Elise Hensler of Boston, whose father, a Swiss tailor, kept a humble little shopon Washington street. The girl came to this country in her fifth year with her parents and early developed considerable musical talent. Prominent Boston people whose attention she attracted by singing at local concerts combined to send her to Milan, Italy, to obtain a thorough musical training, and she had the great honor of securing an engagement atthe famous Scala Opera-house after making her debut. She then returned to*the Unit States and and sang to crowded houses in the principal American cities. Returning to ee she was engaged at the Paris Opera and later wentto Lisbon. Here the ex-regent, Dom Fernando, was first charmed with her sing- ing and later fell desperately in love with her. He married her, and had the title of Countess d’Edla conferred upon her in 1869. A few months after her marriage an event occurred which leftin her hands the decision of the question of peace or war between two great nations,although she did not know that such would be the result. The Spanish Gen- eral, Prim, then Dictator of Spain, went to Lis bon to offer the crown of that country, re- cently forcibly taken from the brow of Queen Isabella, to Dom Fernando. The newly- created Countess wanted to be a queen, but the proud Spaniard would only make her a duchess, and as her husband stood by her he threw away his chance, and the throne of Spain was offered to Prince Leopold of Ho- henzollern, a nephew of King William of Prussia. apoleon III, objected to this, and the Franco-German War was the result. Dom Fernando died afew years ago, and the Countess now resides on his estate in wo in a castle fitted up in the old feudal style. American Versatility. From the Saturday Review. There is something in the composition of the average American that makes him want o know something, even if it is only a mor- el of knowledge, of everything thatis going on. A very slight smattering of information will give him the chance to talk like a bishop on theology, like an Edison on electricity. or like an Admiral Rous on racing. The smart men who control the daily press Know this, and the Sunday editions especially deal with about half the things mentioned in the “go ® clopedia. Besides the ordinary murGer, ro bery, divorce, etc., that constitutes the staple food, we find scattered articles on every country the geographer has ever heard of, on. eve ology known to professors, on sporting matters, on dress, on ship-building, on theatrical mat- ters, on societ on literature, on morality on every possible topic, in fact, that the bust brains of the men in control and the brains of their employes can devise. But outside oy this desire for diffuse knowledge, which after all makesthe average American a pleasant companion except to an expertin any subject of which he has acqui athimbleful of knowledge, the American is a beaver at stick- ing to hislast.

The contents of a mall-box were found this morning in Holmes & Co.’s lumber yard on Tenth and Spruce streets, and Supt. Dice and his railway inspectors are now trying to solve the mystery of the robbery, for there is no doubtt that a robbery and a pretty big one has been committed. The mail was found scattered about here and there, the letters all having been opened. The first lot were found by Mr.Henry Bischoff and when the police were notified another search was made and several more letters discovered. .There were nearly a peck of letter in all as they were thrown loosely together in a pile in Mr. Dice’s office, and they seemed to be all directed either to Chicago or some town near there. The postmarks were of Brazil, Ind.; Martinsville, Ill., and other points near the boundary line between Illinois and Missouri, and ought, it would appear, to have gone .to Chicago over the Chi- cago & Eastern Illinois Railroad, although Mr. Dice says that the regular route for the mail would have- been to Chicago by the way of St. Louis. TALK WITH SUPERINTENDFNT DICE. ‘*The mail bag,’’ said the superintendent, ‘*never reached St. Louis, orat least it was probably never delivered here in the regu- lar way. It should have come in on an early evening train from Illinois and gone out again the same night, last Tuesday night, on the regular Chicago & Alton mall train, but it evidently never reached the Chicago & Alton train. Ihave no theory as yet as to the robbery was committed, though I think it was committed here in St. Louls. I can’t very little more and it would not be proper in me to tell you more if I did; nor can I let you see the letters and other mail found, as that would be aviolation of the postal service rules,’’ What Mr. Dice meant was that he could not permit the reporter to examine the mail closety or take a list of the addresses on the letters, but a- pile. lay before him and the reporter could have a bird’s-eye view of it. The pile showed a number of post-office orders, checks, pension papers, postal cards and letters mixed up in- discriminately with envelopes,but there were no newspapers, The robber had evidentlv helped himself to three or four packages of letters, in whicha number of postal cards and other small mail were also tied, and had studiously avoided taking newspapers and such matter. He was after money and would probably have left the postal cards behind if it had not been more convenient to take them along, tied up as they were with the letters. . ' The mail must have been brought to the city on a Vandalia train on the evening of the 27th, last Tuesday, as the letters are all post- marked Jan. 26 or Jan. 27. LIST OF THE CHECKS FOUND. Following is a list of the checks found, which the robber knew he could not use without running a big risk of detection, and it should be stated in justice to Supt. Dice that the list was not obtained from him. One check on Clearwater Bank payable to Wim. Maechiten for $135; check on Denman & James payableto Aug. J. Payan for $7.75; check on Fourth National Bank payable to D. A. Foster for $7.54; check on C, Fugua & Sons, payable to Diesbaugh & Dunn for $6; check on Merchants’ Bank, payable to North- with & Harris, for $20; check on Troy Ex- change Bank, payable to D. G. Foster, for $8.25; check on Bank of Girard, payable to Jones Foutz, for $1,025; check for Joseph Bielefield & Co., $400. Several of the letters were addressed to Field, Leiter & Palmer of Chicago. The police notified the postal authorities and about an hour afterward Postal In- spector Freeman arrived atthe Four Courts and the mail was turned over tohim. A search was made for a mail-bag but none was found and it is believed that no bag was stolen, but only several packages of letters from a tal car. The mail had not been missed andthe first intimation the postal authorities received of the robbery was from the police at the Four Courts. THE ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT TALKS, Assistant Superintent Kerwin, who visited the Four Courts with Assistant Inspector Freeman, and who Is at work on the case,was seen at the Post-office and said: ‘*There was no pouch stolen, so far as we know, and the letters found were not regis- tered, soit was evidently not a robbery of a registered mail pacKage, and there is no way of finding out the extent ofthe robbery save by complaints of people to whom the missing letters were addressed. The robbers evi- dently took only what cash they found in the letters, throwing everything else away. It was plainly a ‘sneak’ robbery by some one who must have got access to the postal car, and must have-been committed on the night of the 27th, between the smaller Illinois towns near here, and St. Louis. It may have been possible for some smallthiefto get into the car and make away with a package of unreg- istered letters. ‘*The police have a man at the Four Courts now who was arrested for stealing trunks from the Unton Depot, and who got into 8t. Louis on the night of the 27th. They think it possible he may be the robber, and he will be examined accordingly. None of the post-office people have seen him yet. There has been no notification received at this office of any pouch having been found rifled of its contents, and beyond ‘the finding of the letters at Tenth and Spruce streets we have no evidence that there has been a robbery committed, and there is no official report of a robbery yet made. Had a pouch been cut open the fact would have been discovered on the arrival of the Vandalia train in Chicago, and they would have wired along the line to that office. It must have been a package only that was taken, asthe strings used in tying up such packages were found with the rified letters.’’ : The robbery of trunks from the Union Depot, to which Assistant Superintendent Kerwin alluded as having occurred on the night of the 27th, and the tor of which is ing a Wm.

C., Jan. 29.—A highly important though informal conference was held yesterday at the residence of Secretary Blaine, between the Secretary, Congressman Hitt and the Hon. Edward Farrar, ed‘tor of the Toronto Globe, and one of the laymen leaders of the Liberal party in Canada. The conference was important as being the first of a series of informal talks with Secretary Blaine upon the question of Canadian recip- rocity, which Mr. Farrar has come to Wash- ington to obtain. Mr. Farrar’s visit has peculiar si at this time, in view of the statement which is current that the Canadian Parliament is to be dissolvea the latter part of this week and the administra- tion is to go before the country at the March elections upon the question of reciprocity with the United States. Mr. Farrar’s visit is believed to be for the purpose of obtaining assurances from party leaders in this country of the possibility of reciprocity being accept- able to the United States at this time, which assurances he wishes to communicate to his colleagues in the Liberal party of Canada at the coming hustings.

The Northwestern Archbishop Sup- presses Gambling at Church Fairs. WHAT THE 8T. LOUIS CLERGY THINK OF THE MOVEMENT. Vicar-General Brady Indorses the Stand Taken by the Distinguished St. Paul Prelate—Money should Be Raised by Voluntary Contributions—A Bad Ex- ‘ ample. Archbishop Freland of St. Paul, Minn., pre- siding over the Diocese of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, has issued an order pro- hibiting the raising of funds in his diocese - for the Catholic Church by means of lotter- ies, rafling orany other form of gambling. It is the first step in a movement the Catholic Church has long been expected to make and ‘Js a point of great interest to the Catholic United States. As State and, in fact, every parish it is the custom to hold fairs, festivals,.. bazaars or picnics for the benefit of the Catholic Church, its schools or charities, this order of Archbishop Ireland, which is the first general command to cease all such practices at least in his dio- cese, has great interest for all Catholics. The apparently harmless church fair, with its ac- companying schemes to faise money, such as raffies, prize drawings for valuable articles, and even in some cases for houses and lots, has been declared an agent for eviland must be stopped. Thisis the conclusion reachefl by the eminent prelate, and his mandate, which will be strictly obeyed, reads as fol- lows: clergy all over the in every ARCHBISHOP IRELAND’S ORDER. ‘‘Public sentiment has become so pro- nounced, and rightly so, against lotteries and chance games that we deem it our duty to prohibit, as we now do, the raising of money for religious or charitable purposes by the sale of chances, the use of wheels of fortune . or by any method whatever of lottery or gambling. This rule, which we now make. admits ofno exception. It applies to coun- ties as wellas totowhs, to convents as well as to parishes.’’ ° ; From time immemorial the practice of holding lotteries with the sanction of the Catholic Church forthe purposeof creating a building fund, to pay off a debt or to aid the schools and charities, has been tol- erated by the church. The opinion was held that the noble object for which such lotteries were held, hid the impropriety of the practice if it could be said to have apy. Itis known by this fact, ifin no other way, thatthe Catholic Church has not been antagonistic to lotteries or gambling. Though Archbishop Ireland does not say as much in his brief command, it is understood that he realizes the excess to which the privilege has been carried and is aware of the example it sets and the defense f\ forms for other and more serious methods of gambling where the evil is more apparent. Archbishop Ireland’s action, it is understood, is but the first step to a general movement soon to fol low. VICAR-GENERAL BRADY ON THE ORDER. Very Reverend Vicar-General Philip P. Brady was shown Archbishop Ireland’s mani- festo and asked what he thought of it. ‘‘Itisan attempt,’’ he replied, ‘‘to sup- press what was harmless in itself, but which has been carried to excess. No, the Catholic Church does not forbid gambling. It does not forbid drinking. The church has its prin- ciples and it lives uptothem. The mere act of betting or gambling is not considered a sin. But should the act be accompanied with cer- tain circumstances it may become a most serious sin. If, for instance, the individual gambled or frittered away that which should goto feed and clothe those who depend upon him, it would indeed be a sin. And so it is with drinking. To drink is notasin, inthe eyes ofthe church, but to get drunkis. Thus you see that the church cannot make a law or lay down a precept to cover all the ground by forbidding lotteries or drinking as they are in themselves not sinful but become so when carried to excess. Archbishop Ireland was not governed by public sentiment when he sent out hisordgr. He saw the evils resulting from lotteries in church (fairs and festivals and determined to put a stop to it by cutting off the eause. The tendency of the clergy all over the country is to do away with fairs, festivals, raffles and lotteries as it is seen that, though harmless in themselves, they lead to excesses which are harmful. Ihave no fairs or festivals in my parish forthe same reason. The proper way to raise funds for the Catholic Church, its schools or Charities is, by direct contribu- tions. lam notin favor of cutting off one source of supply without being able tosuggest a better one, as in the case of the orphans. A picnic was given at the Fair Grounds every year which netted $7,000 to $8,000, but Isaw many took advantage of the occasion to go to excess in many things. Whe picnic has been done away with and in its stead we have the Orphans’ Aid Society, which proves to be much better than fairs or festivals, as the contributions now come directly from the individuals who give cheerfully. ‘Looking atit from another point of view. =~, Why should the church hold fairs, lotteries, festivals, and on these occasions use such means as the whee] of fortune, the grab bag and raffie tickets to raise money? Does any one suppose they are held for pastime? By nomeans. The true cause is a sad com- mentary on the Christain or Catholic. Letit be the case that lotteries are not improper, which I will not. ad- mit, they would not be necessary if the Christian would do his duty to his church, the schools and charities. Speaking for the parish priest I can say they are driven to it by the failure of the church members to do their duty. The chureh gives to all whe need, and those who have the means should support the churoh and not wait for the an- nual lotteries to indirectly help the church, at the same time hoping to recive a return for what should really be calledan investment and not a contribution. Astopfofessional lotteries I will have nothing to say. The church is a powerin upholding the laws of the State and national Government. It em- braces the statutes of the States and forbids under penalty of sin any violation of the laws,as it does its own precepts and the laws of God. Should a lottery bill be passed, the church would be abreast of the Govern- ment in enforeing the law.’’ REV. FATHER WALSH’S VIEWS. Rév. Father William. Walsh, pastor of St. -Bridget’s Churchon Jefferson avenué and » Z v 4 iF Biddle street, takes a most liberal view,of the practice of holding lotteries and fairs in fur- thering the purposes of the church and rais- ing funds to carry on religious work. ) **This order, of course, only pertains to the diocese over which Archbishop Ireland pre- sides,’’ hesaid. ‘‘It does not effect us in any way. Lotteries do not conflict with the principles of the church in any way and are not against any set rules. Archbishop Kenrick has so intimated and permitted the parishes in his diocese to hold fairs and festivals, but drew the Hneatcertain games of chance and de- vices, such as wheels of fortune. Raffles for articles of furniture or jewelry are per- missable, for, it is by having these lotteries, as they are called, that we draw large audiences to our festivals, and attain the end we aimed at, that of raising funds for churches and schools which we would not otherwise receive. The proceeds of fairs and festivals are all extras over the regular contributions and I do not believe donations would be any greater if the and festivals and the lotteries | No Slaughter Sale — _ of Equal Magnitude Ever Attempted in This City!

Lancaster began this morning inthe Court of Criminal . rection before Judge Green of Jeffe County. In the SUNDAY POST-DISPATOH of Nov. 2 was exposed Mr. Lancaster’s service as a Grand-juror in the place of his son and in violation of law, and the result of that service. Mr. Lancaster sought to avoid the effect of this exposure in part by swearing out a warrant. for criminal libel against Florence D. White, managing editor of the Post-DISPATCH,and bringing suit against the paperand managing editor for damages. It was the criminal charge that was tried to-day. The Judge overruled a demurrer to the in- formation on which the warrant was issued holding that the publication charged was libelous unless the facts weretrue. The trial then began. The first witness called was Wm. N. Bar- ron, a stenographer who took testimony in depositions before Commissioner Arba N. Crane in the suit of Lancaster against the POsT-DISPATCH. Mr. Barron identified a type-written copy of the record of testimony, which the defendant’s attorney proceeded to introduce showing the publication of the alleged libel. Commisstoner Crane, who was called, testi- fled that the depositions had been taken be- fore him and identified a copy of the SUNDAY POST- DISPATCH Of Nov. 2as having been used by Mr. White when his deposition was taken. This was substantially all the testimony heard in the morning session. At2 o’clock the court met again and more testimony was. taken in the proof of the publication and cir- culation of the alleged libel. SNOW STORM AND BLIZZARD.

The reason they cannot be sold direct now is that the inter- state commerce law requires a notice of three days to be given of every contemplated re- duction in rates, andas St. Louis and Jack- sonville are in different States the rate be- tween them is governed by this law. It is different with the rate between East St. Louis and Jacksonville, as both are Illinois points. This cut will, of course, affect all stations along ‘the Chicago & Alton line between this city and Jacksonville, as under the interstate commerce law the rate to no intermediate point can be greater than a point beyond or through point. TheC.&A. claims that these rates are made necessary because the Jacksonville Southeastern has placed on the market mileage tickets at the rate of 2 cents per mile. The latter line have met the Alton cut and are selling tickets at the same rate from East St. Louisto Jack- sonville, and will also make a rate from St. Louis to the latter point of $2.05 as soon as they can file due notice. This will also re- duce the rate between 8t. Louis and Peoria from $5.20 to $4.50, and a cut to Springfield may also follow. THE MERCHANTS’ BRIDGE AND THE FIGHT. While the general belief is that the Mer- chants’ Bridge Co. has been giving the new Ine alowrate to enable ittomakethe cut they have in freight rates the Merchants’ Bridge people deny this. They say that the rates over their bridge are exactly the same Bridge or Gould Bridge, as the old bridge is now gener- ally known. Maj. Rainwater says that it would be foolish for the Merchants’ Bridge to announcea reduction of rates when they were not able to handle all the business which might offer. It would look like a bluff on their part, he asserts, and ‘they do not intend to announce any reduc- tions of tolls until they are fully prepared to handle the business. They had started out to make St. Louis a through point instead of a way station, by having goods billed direct here and not to East St. Louis, a point in a foreign State. This latter way of doing business had been the custom here for years, and it was very humiliating to the people of St. Louis. Already they had done away with it, for the Jacksonville Southeastern was billing goods direct to this city. Another reform they had promised was to give the St. Louis merchants and shippers increased and better facilities in the way of receiving and shipping goods. This they would receive. They had suffered much by reason of the cramped of the east side lines in handling iness. The service would, with the completion of the Merchants’ bridge terminals, be much im- proved, and freight would be handled much more promptly. In addition to all this the Merchants’ Bridge Co. would in proper time give a reduction of . | ROADS THAT WILL USE THE NEW BRIDGE.

Closing Out Sale, 49c made a purcbase of $300,000 worth of real es- tate on the line of the Merchants’ Terminal. This party stated that Mr. Rainwater could give the particulars of the sale. When Mr. Rainwater was seen he denied all knowledge of any such deal, but said that he supposed a great many roads had been leasing and buy- inig property in that section, but in most cases they merely leased the property. The Penn-- sylvania Co., as was well known, had about six months ago leased $300,000 or $400,000 worth of property in that section, and nearly all the east side lines would probably secure property on this side of the river either along the Merchants’ Terminal Co.’s track or in the Mill Creek Valley in the yards of the other bridge. They would have to have freight houses on this side. It is generally believed that the Pennsylvania and Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy roads will in time use the Merchants’ Bridge exclu- sively, although the Jacksonville South- eastern road is the only company doing so at present. There isa story afloat that the Louisville & Nashville road has pur- chased property along the line of the Mer- chants’ Terminal road, and when Mr. Rain- water was asked in reference to it, he ad- mitted that his company hoped ‘‘to do con- siderable business with the Louisville &Nash- ville.’’ The Ohio & Mississippi is another line which is said to have secured real estate up there, but Mr. Rainwater would say nothing further on this subject than that his company would like to get a share of the Ohio & Mississippi road’s business, though they hardly expected to secure it all. The Merchants’ Bridge Co. was endeavoring to secure several roads as patrons, but as the deals were not yet closed he could not dis- close the names of the lines. WHOLESALE DEALERS REJOICING. The wholesale dealers of St. Louis are stirred up over the prospect opened by the Jacksonville Southeastern cut and doing away of the bridge arbitrary toan extent that fully indicates its important bearing upon the commercial interests of the y. The beginning of the sys of billing freight direct toand from St) Louis, instead of. East St. Louis, is hailed by the trade as the first signs of the removalof the great barrier that has stood between St. Louis and a vast trade naturally belonging to this market,but which has been directed by the unjust bridge arbi- trary of 4 cents per 100 pounds on all freight that crosses the Mississippi River at St. Louis. With the Merchants’ Bridge offer- ing the means of successfully opposing and finally overcoming the bridge arbitrary system, the wholesale trade is confident that St. Louis is onthe eve of accomplishing a re- sult for which its, merchants have striven for years. So important is the matter thus brought to aclimax by the Action of the Jacksonville Southeastern road that a special meeting of the Wholesale Grocers’ Association has been called for this afternoon at 38 o’clock at the rooms of the associa- tion, 507 North Second street, for the purpose of taking action on the question, and a full expression of opinion of this important line of trade will be the result, the meeting also being intended to bring about the ap- pointment ofa special committee to take charge of the movement and press it to a successful termination. The proposed war upon the unjust bridge arbitrary is a struggle that vitally affects every trade interest of st. Louis and merchants are not slow in express- ing their views astothe great advantage to be gained by the movement. Richard W. Shapleigh of the A. F. Shap- leigh Hardware Co. was seen by a Post-Dis- PATCH reporter this morning and said: ‘‘The cutof the Jacksonville Southeastern road, which only went into effect day be- fore yesterday and which is being followed ~ by other roads, means, I fully believe, the finak doing away of the bridge arbitrary discrimination against St. Louis which has worked to the injury of this market for s0 many years, The system of billing goods toand from S&t.

EFFECTS NOT YET FELT. ‘*The trade hailed the Building of the Mer- chants’ Bridge as the means of escape from this tax, and it will prove soif that company keeps free from complications that would tie it up as the old bridge has been tiedup. The cut on frejght to local Illinois points is as yet too recent for its effects to be felt, but it is bound to’prove of great benefit to St. Louis, as it enables us to compete in those near-by towns which rightfully belong to St. Louls, but which have been tributary to Chicago on account of this freight discrimination.’’ Mr. W. E. Schweppe, the wholesale grocer, said that the action of the Jacksonville South- eastern road promised to bring about the re- sult for which the wholesale grocery trade had been working fora long time, and he looked on. the probable § abolition of the bridge arbitrary as the most ad- vantageous thing that could possibly happenin its bearing upon the trade of this city. The local cut in freight rates was also beneficial, but its first importance was in the indication it contained of the final over- throw of the bridge arbitrary. Mr. Schweppe expects important results from the meeting of the Wholesale Grocers’ Association this afternoon. A member ofthe firm of Kelley, Goodfellow &Co., wholesale boots and shoes, was en- thusiastic in prediction of the good results on St. Louis trade outlined by the action of the Jacksonville Southeastern road, and said that the systemof billing freight direct to and from St. Louis and the doing away of the bridge arbitrary was bound to follow, and would mean a vast increase of the im- portance of St. Louls as a great terminal market. Mr. J. P. Boogher of the Rainwater-Boogher Hat Co. took the same position, saying that the importance of the movement begun by the Jacksonville Southeastern road could not be overestimated, and would place Sst. Louis finally in control of a trade territory surpass- ing that of any of its competitors. Wm. A. Hargadine of the Hargadine- Mc- Kittrick Dry Goods Co. also said the cut in rates and the doing away with the system of billing goods to and from East St. Louis In- stead of St. Louis would be most advyantage- ous to the general wholesale trade. It would, however, most materially affect the whole- sale grocery and hardware interests. A member of a leading stove manufacturing company strongly indorsed the change and believed it would “eventually result in doing away altogether with the bridge ‘arbitrary of 4. cents per 100 pounds, which worked such great injury to 8t. Louls. Other lines of wholesale trade were seen, and si expressions gained, showing a general belief that the Jacksonville Southeastern Road had opened a fight which promised the . greatest benefit to St. Louis trade. Their First Concert. The first concert of the Western Musical Improvement Society will be given at Mem- orial Hall, Nineteenth street and Lucas place, this evening.

LOUIS NEWS- BOYS AND BOOTBLACKS PRESENTED. | » A Bill to Reduce 8 Railway Fares in lation Affecting Foreign Corporations— The St, Louis Jury Commissioner—Mis- souri Legislature. » JEFFERSON CiTy, Mo., Jan. 2.—The Parker cigarette bill was passed in the House by a vote of 103 to 22, and was at once sent over to the Senate, There has been no concentrated opposition to the bill as yet, but the cigarette and tobacco dealers are expected to oppose it before the Senate Committee. The bill makes ita misdemeanor for any person to sella minor under 17 years of age cigarettes or to- baccoinany shape withouta written order from parents) or guardian of such minor. The penalty is a fine of not less than $$ and not Wore than $50, or imprisonment in jail from ten to. thirty days or both. Considerable merriment was occasioned during the consideration of the bill by the presentation of the St. Louls newsboys and bootblacks’ protest, which was fully written up in last Saturday’s Post- DISPATCH. The article was read in its en- tirety, and Ed Turner of Clinton said it repre- sented the sentiments ofthe St. Louis news- boys. Thisin itself, he argued, wasa good reason for the passage of the bill. Representative Dalton introduced an. im- portant bill affecting foreign corporations doing business in that State, It requires all such corporations to have offices in the State, to file their articles or charters of incorpora- tion with the Secretary of State and pay taxes and fees thereon. The act covers con- siderable ground and specifies that com- panies violating its provision shall be sub- ject toa fine of not less than $1,000. The act does not apply in any way to insurance com- panies. Representative Johns introduced a Dill establishing a State Board of Immigration, to be com posed of the Governor, Secretary of State, Superintendent.of Public Schools, Sec- retary of the State Board of Agriculture, the State Geologist, Labor Commissioner, and Secretary of the State Board of Health, who ‘shall be members ex-officio and members-at- large, representing different interests in the State, whose term of office shall be for four years, The appointing power is conferred on the Governor. Representative A. C. Church of St. Louts, presented several bills this morning on behalf of the St. Louis Bar Association. About the most important of the collection is a bill drawn by Mr, Finkelnburg, providing for the appointment ofa Commissioner for the pro- motion of uniformity of legislation in the United States, The object of/ this measure is to have a commuis- sioner representing Missouri meet and confer with similar representatives of other States to agree on laws affecting ne- gotiable instruments, divorces and other im- portant legal matters. IN THE SENATE, In the Senate this morning Senator Stone introduced an act to suppresethe smoke nuil- sance in cities of the firstclass. This applies to St. Louls and Kansas City. The act re- quires factories,foundries and manufacturing plants generally to use some device to prevent great volumes of smoke from belching from their smokestacks. It also provides for the appointment of a State Inspector to enforce the provisions of the act. The bill to prohibit t penitentiary man- agers from letting contratts forthe labor of conviets for less than 75 cents a day, and lim- iting the contract periods to four years, was this morning taken out of the hands of the Labor Committe d given to the Peniten- tiary Committee, ‘of which Representative Dougherty of How County ts chairman. It was done so0 quietly that the members favoring reforms in theYnatter of penitenti@ry contracts had no tim . They have reasons for objection to the Peniten- tiary Committee’s consideration of the im- portant measure. Dougherty and the Warden of the Penitentiary are immediate political and personal friends and hafl from the same county. It is certain that the Peni- tentiary contractors, who have waxed rich on long-period contracts, will devote every energy towards defeating the bill. They have been having things their own way for many yearsand have been paying the State just about what they pleased for convict labor. Up toa year or so ago the rate was from 40 to 45cents a day and does not now exceed 50 cents. THE KANSAS CITY LIMITS. Kansas City wants a rehearing inthe limits extension case which was recently decided by the Supreme Court. The decision declared the annexation of Westport and other outly- ing towns to Kansas City in conflict with the ; constitution, much to the disgust and oon- sternation of the officials and citizens gener- ally of that city. Association asks that a constitutional amendment be submitted to a vote of the people in order to permit those cities having organized fire departments to pension the dis- abled firemen and their widows and-orphans, the latter in case of death. The bill now pend- ing was introduced as the result of a decision reached by the Executive Committee of the Missouri State Firemen’s Association. It has the support of the entire association, though there is a mistaken impression that it is backed solely by the St. Louis Department. The day it was introduced the Executive Committee met here and decided upon a plan of campaign to get the measure through the Assembly. The meeting was attended by Chiefs Lindsay of &t. Louis, Hale of Kansas City, Kain of St. Joseph, Levens of Boonville and several others. At the committee meeting last evening Assistant Chief E. J. Gross and Capts. Bridge and ‘*Rhody’’ Walsh of the St. Louis Firemen’s Pension and Relief Association were present and argued strongly in favor of the bill. They also removed the impression that the bill was for the exclusive benefit of the St. Louis As- sociatio 7 ‘ie. MEAT INSPECTION. Senator Cochran has not yet submitted the meat inspection bill he has prepared. Heis waiting for a copy of a decision recently rendered by the Virginia Supreme Court, de- claring inoperative a bill passed. at the last session of the Assembly of that State. His idea is to leave no flaws inthe bill so that it cannot be knocked out after its passage, providing that the Assembly is in a humar to pass it, The four representatives from Jack- son County, which takes in Kansas City, are ‘farmed to the teeth’’ for this bill and say they will fight it to thevery last minute, whether ornot it passes. The Kansas City stock yardsand packing houses fought in- spection two years ago and they say they will fight it with as much determination inthe present session. Fightor nofight, Senator Cochran says he wants a good State inspec- tion lawand that he will leave nothing un- done to have such an act placed on the statute books. , MEM@RIAL DAY. The Committee on Federal Relations of the Housé has prepared a report of an adverse ch the bill introduced by Repre- sentative Tubbs to make Memorial Day a State holiday. The same committee is still considering Representative Skaggs’ resolu- tion condemning the Interior Department for its treatment of the Sioux and other Indian tribes inthe Northwest, Mr. Skaggs hails from Maries County and says the people down in that section are in favor of giving the In- dians enough toeatsoas to keep them ina peaceful frame of mind. THE MARMADUKE MONUMENT. The bill to appropriate $3,000 to build a monument over the graveof the late Gov. John 8S. Marmaduke will soon come up for consideration. Though Gov. Marmaduke has been dead for more than three years nothing has been done towards rearing a shaft or tombstone of any kind in honor of his memory. His grave is an unmarked mound, and people unfamiliar with the cemete and its surroundings must make inquiries to find the grave. It is situ- ated in that on of the cemetery owned by the State, a féw feet distant from the shaft erected many years ag@® in respect to the memory of Gov. Thomas Reynolds, one of Missouri’s earliest governors. On all sides are slabs marking the graves of departed members of the Assembly. Every grave within the inclosure has a slab of some kind to. show the identity of the remains beneath, excepting that which contains the mortal remainsof John Sappington Marmaduke. Two years ago an effort wag made to appropriate money to build a monument, but the bill got into the > ys ae a committee that did not favor it, @ measure stayed there and died with fon. THE CONGER LARD BILL. One of the last acts of the House yesterday was to reconsider the vote by which the Con- ger lard bill was adopted and relegate it to the table. The House is fast getting the rep- utation of being a queer body. One day it jumps forward and indorses a measure and the next day proceeds to recant. This has been done with several resolutions and bills. LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP. The Contmittee on Railroads and Internal Improvements is rapidly knocking out the bills referred to itand the farmer members are now wondering if the committee will re- port any bill favorably that is calculated to regulate corporations. The opinion ts rapidly gaining ground that the railroads have some very stanch friendsin the committee, and it is likewise known that one of the members is connected in an official way with a railroad company, doing a large business in this State. If the committee reports are accepted there will be few ifany of the bills to regulate cor- porations that will ever get over to the Senate Cham ber. ee Victory for Cox. * ° Mr. William Cox, the proprietor of the res- The ladies were Miss Zoe Lepere of beautiful, and accomplished gtri Katie Dorgan of Dubuque, Io., her period of probation last July came to this city.

The ceremony of taking the vell was per- formed before mass. The young ladies in }answer to the questions of Vicar-General Brady, while kneeling in bridal robes at the alter rail, answered that they had well con- sidered the step they were about to make and took it of their own volition. They were given lighted candles, blessed by the priest and the veil was placed over them. They then retired tothe choir and re- appearedin therobes of the order of the Sisters of the Visitation. This simple ceremony being concluded high mass was begun,during which the choirof young ladies and sisters sang Mercandante’s mass. Father Burke of St. Michael’s Church officiated at the mass, assisted by Father Long of 8t. Joseph’s Church as deacon, Father Coffey of St. John’s Church,as sub-deacon, and Father O’Brien of St. John’s Church as master of ceremonies, Father Harty of S&t.

“THE SIOUX INDIANS. ae Breaking Up Camp 2b te Soe of the Recent Troubles. CARING FOR THE HOSTILES WOUNDED IN THE LATE BATTLES. Gen. Miles Talks—Wild West Shows to Be Investigated—The Indians in Minnesota Causing Alarm Among the Settlers— Affairs at Pine Ridge. Pixs Riper AcrENcr, 8. D., Jan. 26.—The Campaign against the Sioux will become memorable not only because of the various strange policies that have at different times controlled it, but because some of the events have been unique and striking. The battle of Wounded Knee, for instance, is the only one in which the Indians ever made a stand force to force with white soldiers.. It is the only one in which the Indian force was almost completely ex- terminated, anda campaign fullof strongly marked events was concluded with the largest review of regular troops that has been held since the close of the war. The military camp. is breaking up now, but tntilthe 23d inst. since the recent changein the position of ‘the troops, it has been pitched on a plain, and it extended from a point about two miles south of the agency in an unbroken line for three miles. It was a long white line of little round houses that seemed to be endless, for the right flank ran into a little cluster of hills and every now and then you could catch a view of the tent tops in the high ground. The camp was in perfect order for the final inspection. THE WOUNDED INDIANS. The wounded Indians are still tn the Epis- copalChurch and they are likely to remain there until they are well, since tHey refuse to be moved. There are only about a dozen left and Medical Director Bache thought that it would be more convenient to have all the wounded, in one hospital, so he ordered arrangements made for them in the general hospital. Beds were prepared and a kitchen equipped for their especial use. They were notified this afternoon that they would be moved in the morning, and the kick they made was awful. They wouldn’t think of moving under any circumstances, and to talk of it was utterly useless. When Dr. Hordstuf wanted to know why they objected, they only said that they did not want to be moved. It seems, however, that the _ real cause of their refusal is that they do not know what may be done with them if they are taken from where they are. They know they are safe there and when they have refused to permit surgical operations to be performed their refusal has been respected. They do not know where they may go if they are taken from the church and they are afraid the surgeons will take them to some place where they may cuttotheir hearts’ content whether the Indian likes it.or not. PRACTICING SURGERY AMONG THE INDIANS. The Indians @o0 not like white surgeons. They have endowed their own medicine men with supernatural powers and naturally they credit the ‘white man’s doctor with similar occult gifts. They know thatif their medi- cine men hada chance ata white patient it would be rather an unsafe dose he would re- receive, and they believe that when a white medicine a chance at them his to kill or injure them. was admirably illustrated on the battle-field of Wounded Knee. An intérpreter brought Humph to Dr. E.F. Gardner. Humph had a flesh wound in the shoulder and Dr. Gardner put a little ointment andatemporary bandageonit. A few minutes later he noticed that Humph had takenthe bandage off, and he asked the interpreter what that meant. The interpreter spoke to Humph and re- turned with the answer that the doctor had put some white man’s medicine on it, and Humph was afraid it would get into him and make him like a white man, and he did not want to be like a white man. : The more civilized Indians have a different notion and are really better patients than many white people. For .instance three Nez Perces Indians were wounded at Wounded Knee and went at onceto the surgeons for treatment. They permitted the surgeons to do whatever they chose and exercised un- usual care not to disarrange the dress- ing. But the Sioux are not educated up to modern surgery. Only one operation has been performed here which they appre- ciated atall. Asquaw fell froma pony and dislocated her shoulder, She was brought into the hospital bya number of Indians, who waited to see what the doctors would do. The woman was sufferiug terribly and they could see that there was something very serious the matter with her shoulder. They stood aghast as the physician adminis- tered ‘ether and the woman seemed to die, and then they saw the dislocation reduced, heard the click as the bones slipped back into place and saw that the shoulder regained its natural symmetry. They thought that was wonderful and have been talking about it ever since. The anesthesia bothered them. If an Indian is stunned so that he loses con- sciousness the Indians think he is dead. If he faints he is dead, and when he revives he has come back to life, The ‘‘Pope’’ at the St. Louls Insane Asylum says this is his sec- ond time on earth, and there are Indians who are herefor their third and fourth time, showing entire lack of appreciation of the pleasure which their departure on these sev- eral occasions gave, and the regret which accompanied their return. When the In- dians saw the tnjured squaw anes- they knew that the doctors Killed her and they were much surprised to find that the surgeons brought her back to life quite as easily as their own medicine man could have done it. THE INDIAN SURGEON. The Indian surgeon and the modern practi- tioneer of antiseptic surgery are the two ex- tremes of the healing art, and when you remember how many patients die under the careful treatment of the latter you wonder.what sort of a constitution an Indian must have ever to recover under the cath ie si of the former. The Indian surgeen sone bandage for each patient and that sndage continues to be used until the patient fs well or has gone to that undis- covered country where all doctors’ patients eventually go. The woumdsare dressed just as a Chinaman sprinkles his washing, by | filling the mouth with water and blowing it on, and then the medicine man chews some herb which excites the salivary gland and covers the wound with saliva. The old bandage is then replaced and the patient re- mains quiet for another day. It would be in- teresting to compare this mode of treatment with that of modern surgeons, but surgical discussions (don’t read very well in print. In the Sioux language some very broad expres- sions are used. A spade is called a spade and an interpreter remarked that good Indian made very bad English. Strgery is a good thing, but much of it makes bad reading. The congregation of surgeons here is quite remarkable. There are probably more army surgeons at Pine Ridge now than were ever together at any one time during the war. Something over forty isthe number in camp, ‘ and sixteen or eighteen may sometimes be found together at the medical headquarters, and yet the general health of the camp is very fair. They are receiving orders to move vt few at a time, however, and they are doing RELIC HUNTING, LO! HOW LO, THE POOR INDIAN, ‘‘WOrKS’’ THE TRADER AND THE TENDER FOOT. 3 Special Correspondence of the Post-DisPaton. Pin’ RIDGE AGENCY, 8. D., Jan, 26, 1891, ‘The most numerons thing at the Agency just now its the relic-hunter. Soldiers officers, correspondents, visitors, traders and ‘cowboys have all turned relic “ihe Indian > is went home with his body naked, except those who wanted mementos of that dreadful day, and all who were not fortunate enough to sectfre relics there are their money buying specimens of Indian handi- work, The hunters fill the country, stop on the trafls to meet Indians who are coming from their camp to the agency, and even be- fore the order prohibiting communication with the hostiles was permitted to die out the relic hunters ‘sneaked out of the agency into the hostile camp, relying on their suavity and their silver to save them, There re some who 50 craved these Indian works of art that they ran serious risks to secure them, and vent- ured among the hostiles at critical times in order to be ahead of the agents of the Indian traders, while the more timid ones hung around the agency and traded with the Indi- ans here. | POOR INDIAN, BUT NOT A POOR TRADER, Lo may have an untutored mind, but he isa sharg trader just the same, and while the white man may beat him now andthen, Lo holds hig @wn pretty well when itcomes to trading {In Indian relics. Hehas become a thorough master of the law of supply and de- mand, and knows justas well whento ad- vance his prices as any Broadway mer- chant. The demand for Indian work has been so great that prices have gone up to high figures. Every one here wants something for himself and generally there is some one at home he would like fo remember, and frequent telegrams bring commissions from friends to bring s@mething to them, so that every one is buying as hard as his resources will permit, and the Indians have a market for more goods than they pos- sess. The soldiers seem to want them worse than any one else, and they have spotfed the relic business. They pay the Indian’s price, which is a very bad policy, because when you do that the. Indian thinks you want his goods very badly, and he adds another dollar to the price ofthe next article. The dollar is the unit of value here. It is easier to say than ‘‘fifty-cents,’’ and Indians and white men say ‘‘dollar’’ instead of dime, so when the soldiers buy for $2 what the Indian used to séll for $1, Mr. Indian makes his price $3, and continues to sell as his prices advance. But money is no object tothe relic hunter. He wants mementoes of Pine Ridge, and he must have them at any price, There wasa militia’ lieutenant who came here after the boys had been sent home and his ea- gerness for relics was so great that even among relic hunters he became con- spicuous. He would walk up toa squaw and show her a dollar, then point at some simple ornament and say ‘‘Ugh.’’ The squawwould laugh and hold up two fingers. Out would come another dollar and the trinket would be his. An interpreter who was in the relic business pretty heavy himself was outraged at sucha proceeding. ‘‘He is spoiling the market,’’ he said, ‘‘but I’ll put an end to him ; Ill break him,’’ sO he kindly volunteered ,his services to the Lieutenant, and charmed to have his aid, the Lieutenant and he sallied forth on a buying expedition. The Lieutenant saw a Squaw with a bead necklace and ‘wanted it, that is the necklace, very badly. The inter- ' preter spoke to herin Sioux and asked her what she wanted forit, She asked $1.50, Turning to the Lieutenant he said: **She wants $4. “I'll take it,’’ said the Lieutenant, without a moment’s hesitation, and out came four shining silver dollars. ‘‘The gentleman says he will give you %,’’ said the interpreter to the squaw and her face beamed. Theinterpreter leaned over to one who knew what was going on and said: ‘*He can’t keep that lick up long.’’ The next Indian they came ane s was Lit- tle Chief, a Cheyenne, who carried in his hand a cane like hundreds that ~ sold on the street corners tor 15 cents. The interpre- ter talked to Little Chief for a while, and then turning to the Lieutenant said: **Do you want that cane?’’ ‘“what is it?’’ asked the Lieutenant. **Gen, Crooke gave it to him,’’ **Did he? How much does he want for it?’’ ‘‘He saysitis very near his heart, but he will sell it for $2.’’ ‘*All right, I’ll take it,’’ and two moreof eae Lieutenant’s silver dollars went glimmer- ng. This lasted foran hour and the intepreter finally succeeded in using up all the Lieuten- ant’s ammunition and driving him out of the field. There was nothing unique, however, in the Lieutenant’s way of buying charms that squaws were wearing. That is common. Elks’ teeth, the only American ivory, are very popular trinketsand the squaws make earrings ofthem. They are stopped inthe street constantly and compelled by the offer of money totake them out of their ears and sell them, and time and again moccasins are bought offan Indian’s feet and he is sent home barefooted. GHOST SHIRTS IN DEMAND. Ghost shirts have been in great demand. The ghost shirt has been an important factor in bringing on this war, for if the Indians had not believed that they were impenetrable they would have hesitated longer about going to war. They have not entirely given up that belief in spite of the lesson of Wounded Enee, and they give all sorts of reasons why the charm failed. Some say that the bullets passed them, then turned and came back, One buck, who was shot through the thigh, ex- plained that he was running’so fast that the shirt stuck out behind, and a bullet got under it. But however misplaced the confidence of the Indian may have been these charmed garments are much “sought by relic hunters and fancy prices have been paid. The price now to tenderfoots is $5, but old stagers get them for $2. An Indian always asks more for his wares than he expects to get or is willing to receive, and therefore it is not unfairto buy below his price, because that is the way hetrades, You cannot dicker with him, You must buy or decline and that endsit. If he was starving he would fot of- fer you wares, or urge youto buythem, He | shows them andif you wantthem you must offer to buy them. When he names his price— which he does by holding up as many fingers ashe wants dollars or drawing the tndex finger of his right hand across the index finger of his left hand to indi- cate the half—that is all he will do in the way of bargaining. If you say that is too much and leave him he will not follow you, but if you take the article and put in his hand about half what he asks for. it he will seldom let go the money. He will smile and shake his head, which means that he is satisfied, and the trade is made, : SECURING RELICS. The ways of getting relics ara various. One is to lie in wait for an Indianand buy what he has with him, One of them, who wore a buckskin coat trimmed with fur and deco- rated with porcupine work, took it off and Another way is to employ half-breeds to hunt up pretty work and bring it in, but like the Lieutenant’s method, it is ex- pensive. The best way is to goto the camp and talk tothe squaws, but that is discoun- tenanced by the militery authorities, for even now, though peace has been re-established, they are afraid some evil-minded young buck might prove ill-tempered and do something rash. S8tillthe risk is run by some and évery day they come in from the camp loaded with beaded work, saddle-bags, vests, . bags, pipes, moccasins, n ces, tributes of all orton Pretty ope bed all the i have been bought up, an e ones setts find here now are those wed Fan a want for their own use and will not sell, War clubs, bows and arrows, tomahawks, Knives and Indian weapons of all kinds have been eagerly sought, and if Gen.

New Yore, Jan. 2.—Assistant Superin- tendent of Immigration O’Berne will suggest to the President that in addition to an inves- tigation of the treatment of Indians in the West, there be alsoan investigation of their treatment in Wild -West shows in the east. He has gathefed many facts bearing on the subject. Some of the Wild West Indians took part in the revolt in South Dakota. GEN. MILES TALKS. CHICAGO, Ill., Jan. '29.—Gen. Miles, in an interview yesterday, states that there is but little danger of further ,Indian trouble now that Sitting Bull is killed and the Indians without a.leader. The disposition of the In- dians now at Fort Sheridan will be determined in the future. Three hundred of the Indians arrested were sent to Fort Sully. The hostiles were disarmed of all weapons except those necessary for their personal protection. Indians who remained loyal were not, dis- armed. Gen. Miles also states that if thére is ever another Indian war it will be on an en- tirely different matter from that causing the one just ended. He has detailed the follow- ing officers to command companies of Indian scouts to be enlisted at Pine Ridge Agency: First Lieut. Willis Olark, Twelfth Infantry; Second Lieut. Godfrey H. McDonald, First Oavalry; Second Lieut. Joseph O. Byron, Eighth Cavalry. HOLDING GHOST DANCES. ST.

CALDWELL, Kan., Jan. 29.,—There is great excitement in this neighborhood, as to-mor- row is the day set for the boomers to invade the Cherokee Strip. For several weeks the invaders have been gathering on the borders of the strip, until now there are at least 4,000 ready to move over the line at the word of their leader, Henry Hall. The object of the invasion is to take possession ofthe land in the Cherokee _ strip, and pre-empt it. The land has not been formally opened to settlement, but the boomers believe that they havea right to make entries, and express their de- termination of doing so. They are provided with a large number of wagons, much farm machinery and thousands of draught animals, and are prepared to locate all the best land in the country. The leader, ‘Hall, is a man of experience in such anatters, hav- ing been closely identified with Payne’s abortive attempt to invade Oklahoma before the Territory was opened to settlement, and having been one of the first.to enter the land was declared suD- ject to pre-emption. He has been gathering in forces for some time, and de- clares that to-morrow he will cross the line. He declares that his legal position ig unassail- able, and that he will maintain the rights of those who accompany him. Serious com- plications may arise, as the interior depart- ment has forbidden all entry inf the Chero- kee strip, from which the cattlemen have just been expelled, and the army may be called upon to expel intruders. ‘ GRATEFUL TEACHERS AND PUPILS. A Vote of Thanks to Those Who Rescued Them from the Shaw School, The teachers and pupils of the Shaw School, who so narrowly escaped a horrible death by firelast week, have drawn. up a letter of thanks to those who aided them in making their escape from the burning build- ing. The resolution is as _ follows: The teachers and pupils of Shaw School desire to publicly thank our neighbors fér their assistance during the fire. We take this means of informing Mr. Dempsey, Mr. Holland, Mr. Huber, Mrs. Sievers and many others that we are grateful for their efforts and appreciate their kindness. We feel that to them special praise and thanks are due. The building has been repaired and the first act of the occupants on returning to the school was to express their gratitude.

SORERS OF BRIS- USE THE S8UIT. TWO ZINC-WORKES TOL, ENGLAND, ¢ ca Paid*by Selwyn Zinc Works But Not Under teresting Points Their Passage to OC. Edgar of the @ of South St. Agreement—Some Brought Out. Judge Thayer this morning handed down animportant decision the United States District Court in .the case of the United States vs. Henry O. Edgar for alleged violation o! the alien contract law. Edgar is lessee of the Glendale zinc works of this city aad was charged with prepaying the passage of two aliens? Boyer and Dorosolski from Brijtol, England, to St. Louis, under contract towork for defendant. Letters that passed between Edgar and Boyer in April, 1890, relative to the matter, were the evidence upon which the charge was based, and were shown in the trial. Judge Thayer dismissed the case in the fol- lowing opinion: JUDGE THATER'S DECISION. Pe questions have been argued at the =~ rst, whether Boyer or Dorosolski as shown by the correspondence were underany such contract or agreement, private or spec- ial, expressed or implied, to perform labor or service in the United States as renders the de- fendant lable to a pesalty for prepaying their transportation, and Second, Whether the fact that Boyer and Dorosolski did not actually land, but were sent back to England, absolves the defendant from liability? I find it unnecessary to decide the last question. It has been held, according tothe plain import of the language employed, that the wrongful act described in the first section of the statute under considera- tion, consists in prepaying transportation, or otherwise assisting or encouraging the im- portation or migration of analien, when such alien is known to be under contract or agree- ment to perform labor or service in the United States. United States vs. Oralg, 28 Fed. Rep. 79. United States vs. Borneman, 41 Fed. Rep. 761. “* NOT UNLAWFUL TO PREPAY PASSAGE. It follows that it is not unlawful to prepay the transportation of an alien, unless at the time of such prepayment the alien is then ‘*under contract or agreement to perform la- bor or service in the United States,’’ Whether Boyer and Dorosolski were under contract or agreement to perform labor in the United States when their transportation was pre- paid must be determined with reference to what had been done toward entering into a contract up to that time,and at the timejtheir passage was prepaid, there had simply been an interchange of letters ofthe tenor above stated. A contract that isnot enforceable for the reason that it lacks some of the elements of a valid agreement, such as ‘‘mutual assent’’ ora consideration, is nota contract. Hence the words, ‘‘contract or agreement,’’ as used in the statute, must be held to mean a complete contract, that is to say, an agreement entered into for a sufficient consideration to perform some kind of labor or service, to the terms of which the parties have mutually assented. If an ‘‘im- plied contract’’ is counted upon, a state of facts must be Alleged from which a court or jury might lawfully draw the inference, as a matter of fact, that the alien had agreed to perform labor or service of some kind, and that some other person had agreed to accept such services, In my judgment the letters do not constitute an ‘‘express contract,’’ and taken in connection with what had been done upto the time the transportation was paid, are insufficient to establish an ‘‘implied contract.’’ NO CONTRACT PROVED. The distinct proposition conveyed by the first letter is merely a proposition to ‘‘come out,’’ which may be interpreted ‘‘come to the United States, if the party addressed, Mr. Gray, would find passes. No promise was made, however, to do work of any kind, or for any person, in consideratian of receiving such passes, If the aliens had in fact landed in the United States, and had declined to work for the defendant, the lattercould not, inmy judg- ment, have maintained an action against | them as for breach of contract to perform | labor or service for him. The second letter is subjectto the same criticism. The defendant did not say: ‘‘If you will come to the United States we will give you steady work.’’ The language is, ‘‘Wecan give you steady work, etc.’’ Itis reasonable to infer, both from the language employed and from the situation of the parties, that the defendant was unwilling, and did not intend to enter into a positive engagement to employ Boyer or Dorosalski until they had arrived in this country and were found to be suitable persons to employ. THE CHARGE DISMISSED. I conclude, therefore, that the petition does not show such a contractor agreement to perform labor orservice when the aliens’ transportation was prepaid, as brings the case within the statutes, I am led to this conclusion the more readily as thelaw is highly penal and must be strictly construed.

There will probably be a fallof snow to- night and the mercury will drop 15 to 20 deg., or below the freezing point, by midnight. This is the observation of the Signal Service Bureau. It is a remarkable state of weather. A cold wave suddenly sprang out of the Rocky Mountains of Colorado early yesterday morning, bringing with it light snow. The temperature at Pueblo, Colo,, dropped below zero last night and this morn- ing the cold wave had traveled into Kansas, Nebraska and the northern part of Missouri. At the rate it is moving it will reach here this evening and bring snow with it. A high barometer which hovered over Northern Texas was replaced yesterday by alow area, but the “high barometer has again reinstated itself and produced condi- i.tions which cause the Signal Service to warn the of Texas for the arrival of a ‘‘Norther,’’ which may do great damage to sheep and cattle. Asthe cold is coming from the mountains and not from the Dakotas or the Canadian line north west of this district, itis thought it will only continue a day or more, and a patos a bold wave makes its appearance in Canada or British America in the Meantime, warm weather may be expected by Sunday. North- ern or gg still continues to enjoy delightful weather. A hd FOR F206) @ PROSECUTION, oft | the “until qe Miss Daly Harry Matthews in Gratiot, and comp internal pains.

The Two Labor Men Who Collected Money From Women of the Town to Push a Bill Which Would Better the Women’s _ Condition Indicted for Fraud. Fred W. Swaine and George J. O’Reilly are again in trouble. The January Grand-jury which yesterday rendered a final report of its work ofthe past three weeks, indicted both Swaine and O’Reilly on the charge of fraud. The bill was sent down with seventy other indictments returned but was at once pigeon- holed by the clerk. The action was taken on account of the fact that the defendants were at large and the usual necessary precautions were taken. This -morning, however, the news of the action leaked out. The warrant is now in the hands of the Sheriff for service. WHO THEY ARE. Fred H. Swaine is a well-known labor agi- tator and petit politician. For years he has passed as a leader in the various labor move- ments inaugurated in St. Louls and was swept by the jJabor tide of 1888 into a Representative’s seat inthe Missouri Legis- lature. His term expired with the opening of the present session. George J. O’Reilly owes his standing, whatever that may be, to his connection with Swaine and other labor agi- tators. For the past year he has posed at the head and front of a newspaper bureau which is known tothe public principally through the cards which that ype distributed. On the afternoon of Dec. 7, 1890, Detectives Lawler and Howard of hendiecartess arrested Swaine and O’Reilly and placed them in the Central District hold-over at the Four Courts. A few days before complaints had been lodged in the offices of Chief of Police Harrigan and Chief of Detectives Desmond to the effect that the men had been making the rounds of questionabie houses, collecting money on the strength of statements to the effect that they could and would pass through the State Legislaturea bill which would greatly improvethe condi- tions of the women of the town. The prisoners, when questioned in the of- fice of Chief Desmond, made no denial of these statements and persisted that such an act would be passed. A search of Swaine’s person brought to light a copy of the pro- posed bill. It wassimply a revised edition of the **Social Evil Act,’’ re- pealed several years ago, and provide that a certain part of the city be set apart for the use of abandoned women, all of whom should be properly registered. A quantity of questionable literature and a notorious guide-book were .taken from O’Reilly. From Swaine was taken a memorandum book the contents of which furnished considerable food for the political gossips ofthe city. One of the entries was to the effect that dur- ing the session of the’ Legislature of 1889 Messrs. Bevis and Davis had $1,000 with which to defeat the milk inspection bill. It is also recorded that Messrs. L. A. Steber and Senator Stone offered Tom Martin $500 with which to “a the Repre- sentative who championed the measure. the next memoranda recorded that the busi- ness was done, but all of the gentiemen whose names were mentioned, indignantly repudli- ated both Swaine and his memoranda. An- other item in the book chronicles the payment by well-known politicians, ofsums ranging from $250 to $1,500 forthe support of the Labor party in their candidacy for the various city offices towhich they aspired. SPENT EIGHT HOURS IN JAIL. Swaine and O’Reilly spent eight hours in the noilsome depths of the hold-over. Their friends and attorney offered bond, but it was not taken. The next day two warrants were issued jointly charging the defendants with fraud. The prosecuting wit- neses in these actions were Pearl Dumont and Mollie English, both landladies. The women stated that Swaine and O’Reilly called at their places and stated that they could pass the social evilact, and wanted money to pay the expenses. They presented -a subsbription list bearing the names of other landladies who, itis alleged, they representéd as hav- ing affixed their signatures and paid the amounts set opposite their names. On the strength of these statements the woman subscribed to the fund. Pearl Dumont paying down $30 and Mollie English giving up $15. Both stated to the polict that the reason they gave the men this money was on account of the other women beingin the movement. In the Court of Criminal Correction Judge Claiborne dismissed the case when called, holding that the evidence was not of suffi- cient strength. Swaine was arrested again as he left the court-room and created something of a scene in the corridor by his resistance to Detectives Lawler and Howard. He was kept for four hours in the hold-over and thenreleased. Recently he de- manded ofthe police authorities all of the papers taken from his person at the time of the arrest. Hethen took thecase into the court of a justice, and caused the issuance of a writ of replevin against Chiet of Police Har- rigan, Chief of Detectives Desmond and De- tective Lawler. It appears that the department was not satisfied with Judge Claiborne’s ruling in the matter and took the action beforethe January Grand-jury. On the strength of the evidence there submitted an indictment was returned charging Swaine and O’ Reilly with fraudin the obtaining of $16 from Mollie English. It is probable that the defendants will be taken into custody some time this afternoon or evening. SWAINE ARRESTED. Swaine was arrested this afternoon by ‘Deputy Sheriff Keevil and the Deputy Sheriff permitted him, under his guard, to seek for STRUCK A SNAG. The Steamer City of Savannah Disabled at Jefferson Barracks. The steamer City of Savannah left the city ‘late last night bound for the Tennessee River. ‘She struck a hidden snag just below Jefferson Barracks and crushed in the side: of her hold The break was quickly repaired, and she was brought back to this city this for repairs. Want an Electric Road. The residents in the southern part of the city and along the line of the Jefferson Ave- nue line of street cars are now making efforts the motive power: of and have the oyerhead tem adopted. The residents and property- owners living in the vicinity of Lafayette Park have had several meetings, and a very strong petition has been sent tothe company. Mr. Kiemm, Park Commissioner, who lives on Missouri avenue is interested. He said he had spoken to Mr. Scullin, the president of the company, about the matter and that he had promised to make the change as soon as the improvements on the connecting lines were fairly settled. CRIMINAL ITEMS. Avery Now a Free Man. MILAN, ‘Tenn., Jan. 29.—John G. Avery walked out of court a free man yesterday, found not guilty of murder after three years’ imprisonment and a great trial. His cousin, Chas. Ensly, was lying on a loungein his home at Rock Springs about 8 o’clock on an afternoon of June, 1887. He was shot through the brain and killed. The ball fitted the small rifle hanging on the wall of the room. Avery was a cousin and would fall heir to $100,000 by Ensley’s death. He was arrested, tried, found guilty and sentenced to hang, but was granted a new trial on technicalities. He had four trials in all and owes his life to his lawyer, Mr. Wallis ofCincinnati. Wallis took a number of witnesses to Rock Springs, placed the gun 0on the wall of the room, a cut glass pitcher above it anda sheet onthe lounge. The sun struck the cut-glass pitcher and it actedasa sun glass on the gun. At3o’clock in the afternoon, while all the witnesses were watching it, the gun went off and the bullet went through the sheet into the lounge. On this wonderful exhibition Avery was ac- quitted. A Green Goods Man Convicted. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—A slight to the dignity of Russell B, Harrison, President Harrison’s son, was fully avenged yesterday in the Court of General Sessions. In July last young Mr. Harrison received through the mails at Helena, Mont., an old fashioned ‘‘green goods’’ circular. The circular told him that Y. Dowling & Son of 7 Mott street, would sell him any amount of their goods from $100 to $100,000 at the rate of $100 of the ‘‘goods’’ far $5 of the genuine money. Chas. Manzocht was arrested for attemptingto swindle the son of the President and yesterday he was convicted. Manzochi’s conviction is the first of the kind obtained in this city in ten years. He may be sent to prison for five years. Capture of a Burglar. TOWER HILuL, lll., Jan. 29.—One of the bur- glars who entered J. J. Leighty’s grocery store of this place, the 21st of last September, was captured at Pana, Ill., last night by the City Marshal. They had been there on the night of the burglary at the St. Charles, and on this one’s return there yesterday he was recognized. He was brought here in the afternoon, when his trial took place and he was placed under $300 bond. The thieves had fired at Operator Twiss, who ran up to them before they saw him, and several shots were exchanged but no one was hurt. Arrested for Wife Murder. NANTICOKE, Pa., Jan. 29.—John Boyle was arrested here yesterday charged with the murder of his wife, who was found, dead in her home with her throat cut.

The woman was about 22 years old and the hus- band a year or two older. The Release of John Spelmann. BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Jan. 29.—Considerable feeling has been shown by the citizens of this city over the reported release of John Spelmannffrom the Kankakee Insane Asy- lum. tiller of Peoria, and only escaped a long sen- tence for burglary on the plea of insanity. As many store keepers have suffered by his acts, they are indignant over his escape or release. On Trial for Forgery. FORT WORTH, Tex., Jan. 29.—Rev. Dr. Wm. Mitchell, charged with forging the name of Martin Case, once an intimate friend, tonotes for amounts aggregating nearly $5,000, was placed on trial here yesterday.

NEw YORK, Jan. 29.—The Long Island agency ofthe Buffalo Fire Insurance Co. in Brooklyn was in charge of Mr. Huffner yes- terday, and it was given out that the regular manager, Chas..M.

A Sudden and Sharp Advance Causes the Bears to Rush to Cover—Causes of the Excitement—Dealers Who Are Watched ‘ With Interest—Outsiders Suffer. There was more excitement on the floor of the Merchants’ Exchange this morning than there has been fora long time past, and the shorts rushed to cover with Startling rapidity. For some time past the general tone of the market has been decidedly bearish. The prospects for the July crop were excellent, and it was believed that in view of this May wheat was certain to de- cline. Last week the price dropped to 92, and a further decline was generally predict- ed. In the meantime, however, conditions were very materially altered. The market had been immensely oversold in anticipation ofa decline, anda few shrewd traders had taken advantage of it. GAUSES OF THE ADVANCE. Scarcely any wheat has come in, and the stock on hand has steadily been running down. The reports of the approach ofa cold wave brought mattersto a head, and there was a stampede of shorts to cover. The mar- Ket shot up rapidly, and May wheat sold at $1, the highest point thatit has touched for many weeks. Speculators were generally short both May and July ,and hurried to cover in both, but the rush for May was far the largest. A feature of the market has been the heavy speculation by outsiders, nearly all of whom were short May wheat, and among these men a veritable panic ensued. Those who had made money on the down turn in wheat were busily en- gaged in drawing it out of bank and putting it up as Margins. TRADERS INVOLVED. The Art Club was closely watched, but it is the general opinion that while its members are short July wheat, that they have no in- terest in the May deal. But the man whose operations excited the greatest interest was John W. Kauffman, who is well Known as the plunger of the profession. Traders were endeavoring to ascertain on which side of the market he was, but this was difficult todo. Itis known that at one time he was heavily short of May, and some of those who were in this predicament looked for some move on his part to check the ad- vance. None came,and it is currently re- ported that none will come, as many be- lieve that he covered his shorts some time ago, and is now on the other side of the market, having a heavy line of long wheat. It is said that he covered his shorts in Chicage and that the advance is largely due to his purchases. BUYING AGAINST CHICAGO SALES. There has been a great deal of buying against Chicago sales, and while the price of May wheat in this market has been from 1 to 2cents below that of Chicago, to-day it is land 1% cents above. Some are of the opin- ion that Kauffman and one or two other heavy operators are long here and short in Chicago. The current gossip is that the United elevators, the barge lines and the ex- porters are long. The tone of the mar- ket is very excited and nervous, and the bears are badly scared, while the longs are exceedingly confident. The coun- try has little, if any, interest in the advance, the deal being purely a professional one and nearly entirely confined to St. Louls. It has been one trader against another from the start. Noone is in trouble yet, and all inter- ested are believed to be in shape, so that no failures are anticipated, although some dealers.have lost heavily. Dr. Fitzporter in a New Role.

COMMISSIONER FAITHORNE HEARS AR- GUMENTS AGAINST A NEW TARIFF. St. Louis Merchants Give Their Reasons Why No Alteration Should Be Made— Complaints of the Galveston Merchants —The Western Traffic Agreement. This morning Commissioner Faithorne of the recently organized Western Traffic Asso- ciation arrived in the city and registered at the Southern. Mr. Faithorne left Chicago last night and will return this evening to re- join his colleagues, who are holding a meet- fine in that city. It was intended to have held a meeting in this city to-day, but owing to the pressof business in Chicago it was found impossible to do so, and Mr. Faithorne came to 8t. Louis for the purpose of consult- ing with local shippers in reference to rates to Southern Texas. COMMISSIONER FAITHORNE’S VIEWS. In referring to this matter, Mr. Faithorne said: ‘‘There seems to have been an impres- sion in certain quarters that the Western Traffic Association was inclined to take snap judgment against St. Louis in reference to Southern Texas rates. Nothing of the kind was ever contemplated, and the people here may rest assured that nothing will be done which willinany way unfairly compromise their interests. IE-shall hold a consultation with anumber of shippers, and report the state of affairs to the traffic commission. If itis necessary,a meeting will be called for an early date ih this city.’’ ** How is the new Western traffic agreement working?’’ ‘*It is.yet too @arly to say just what its suc- cess will be, but so far everything has pro- gressed v ery smoothly indeed. The new or- e aisaticn fi is far stronger than the old Texas Traffic Association, and we have settled nearly everything brought to our attention in @ way that seems to be satisfactory to all con- cerned. At the meéting now in progress in Chicago the Denver & Rio Grande made some objection to being included ih the associa- tion, but the matter was settled, and this line will .be a member. Otherwise everything went smoothly, and we are getting through our work yery fast.’’ ; ARGUING THE CASE. A delegation headed by Marcus Bernheimer, President of the Merchants’ Exchange, called upon Mr. Faithorne and argued against any change being made in Texas rates, with the object of adv ng the commercial interests of Galveston at expense of St. Louis, This subject has been a bohe of contention for a long time, the Galveston merchants asking that the way rates to interior Texas points be mires tee om them to meet St. Louis com- some of success. "It is the , as they now exist, , Im fact it is admitted to transfer their custom from the railroads to the Mallory Steamship Line between Galveston and New Orleans. A large delega- tion from the Galveston Board of Trade visit- ed Chicago last fall and requested the rail- roads to grant their request. PROTESTING SHIPPERS. A St. Louls delegation was also present, and effectually checkmated the Galveston men, as they were able conclusively to show that the city on the gulf was then receiving far more than justice. The matter was supposed to be permanently settled at that time, but during the recent meeting in New York the Galveston merchants again brought the mat- ter up. A telegram was sent by the President of the Merchants’ Exchange and the members of the Transportation Committee protesting against thechange and stating that the effect would be to drive many St. Louis houses out of the Texas business. U pon the receipt of this telegram the Western Traffic Association dropped all consideration ofthe matter. At that time, deciding to con- sider the question during their Western trip, Commissioner Faithorne consulted during the day with a number of traffiCc managers and some of the heaviest Texas shippers, Those interested feel confident that no change will be made, erg Lowest Priced House in America for GOLD AND SILVER,WATCHES.

ST. LOUIS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 29, 1891. . P. A VERY BITTER FIGHT. THE ATTACK OF COLORED PEOPLE UPON PRINCIPAL H. G. PARKER, A Chicago Colored Editor Visits St. Louis to Precipitate It and Organize the Op- position—The St. Louis Opponents of Parker’s Candidacy—Plan of Action. The attack made upon Hale G. Parker, the . colored principal of the Dumas School in this city, in his candidacy for a World’s Fair com- missionership, is agitating the colored popu- lation of St. Louis to a remarkable degree. It originated in a _ letter from the Chicago correspondent of the Indian- apolis Freeman, in which Parker was charged with being ‘‘ashamed of his negro blood,’’ while seeking an appointment on the World’s Fair Commission as a represen- tative of the negro race, and certain state- ments alleged to have been made by the wife of the Dumas School principal in Chicago have stirred up local colored society toa pitch of intense feeling which 1s likely to re- sult in an indignation mass-meeting, at which, itis said, not only will Parker be se- verely denounced and his candidacy for a commissionership be opposed, but a formal request be also made to the Teachers Com- mittee of the School Board for his release from the position of principal of the Dumas School. The affair promises to prove either a case of remarkable persecution of a negro by his fellow negroes, or an honest protest against the advancementof a man who is ashamed of his race. “ In either event it is as- suming national proportions and is being dis- cussed by the colored people with the most profound interest dnd some excitement. — A CHICAGO ORGANIZER HERE. It was learned this morning that the editor ofa Chicago negro Catholic organ, Valle by name, and who is also believed to be the cor- respondent of the Indianapolis Freeman, which began the movement against Principal Parker, spent the day in St. Louis yesterday. leaving for Chicago last night, and that while here the organized oppo- sition to Parker’s candidacy was gotten under good headway. Valle is originally from St. Louis, and is said to wield considerable influ- ence in local colored circles. While here yes- terday he conferred with P. H. Murray, editor of the St. Louis Advance, the colored organ of this city, and with other prominent colored men, and as aresult of the conference it is said that Editor Murray is now in charge of the arrangements for a grand colored mass-meeting to be called forthe purpose of opposing Parker. The meeting has not been called yet, but one of the leaders of the anti-Parker movement states that it will certainly be held within the next few days, and that some very vigorous action will be taken. An attempt was made to see P..H. Murray at the office of the Advance, but withoyt avail, asthe alleged leader of the fight against Principal Parker was out on the street on business for his paper. DEFENSE OF PARKER, Charles W. Barstow, chairman of the Teachers Committee of the School Board, was seen by a PoOST-DISPATCH reporter and said: ‘*There has been no request made to the committee for Parker’s discharge as principal of the Dumas School. There have been com- plaints made about him on the score of his being ashamed of his negro blood before this, but Ithink the complaints arose from jealousy and envy of Parker’s success and high stand- ing. He is not ashamed of beinga negro, but he refuses to associate with certain classes of the local colored population, for the same reasonthatan educated and cul- tured white man refuses to associate with de praved or ignorant whites, and that is where the trouble originates. The distinction that Parker draws is a class, not a race distinction, and he hasa perfect right to choose his associates and to keep his family from mingling with those whom he may con- sider his inferiors in education and refine- ment. Parker has a splendid record as a principal in the St. Louis colored schools. He is a_ college graduate, also a graduate of the St. Louis Law School, and isamost gentlemanly and self-respect- ing man. He has too much sense to be ashamed of his negro blood, and the charges that he is ashamed of It are not true. ‘*Parker’s child did at one time attenda white school in St. Louis, but she does not at the present time, as it would not be allowed. I am sure that he is being unjustly persecuted by this attack, and am sorry to see it made upon him.’’ A BITTER LOCAL FEELING. There is no question, however, that Prin- cipal Parker’s exclusiveness has made him many enemies among the colored people. Oneofthe more prominent among them, whois taking no part in the present movement, and who requested that his name be not used in connection with the. matter, said this morning that the fact of Parker sending his daughter toa white school had caused a bitter feeling against him for months past on the part of his fel- lows, and that there was no doubt that St. Louis negroes would strongly opphse his appointment as a World’s Fair Commissioner. The fact of his being the principal of a colored school, thus gaining his. livelihood from his connection with the col- ored race, and yet refusing to allow his daughter to attend a colored school, it was said, was especially the reason for this feeling ofindignation. It was stated that the Dumas School principal has two _—i brothers, one of whom is employed in the St. Louls Post-office, and the other in Washington City, whose conduct is strongly in contrast with the object of the present attack, inasmuch as they show no desire to rise above their race or withdraw from association with colored people. and this fact also Adds to Parker’s unpopularity..

Cleo Elliot, 19-years old, an inmate at 1221 Pine street, swallowed a dose of morphine while ina wine-room at Thirteenth and Pine streets about 12:30 o’clock this morning. Half an hour afterwards she went to her room and told Minnie Wilson the night was her last on earth. Before the ambulance ar- rived she became unconscious. At the City Hospital she revived, and stated that she had taken 17 grains:of morphine. She will re- cover. The police are looking for a young man who was last seen with the girl, as the case appears slightly mysterious. we The Budweiser Restaurant, Sixth, near Locust, is now under manage- ment of Mr. Pierre Lambert, who serves the best the market affords and does it promptly.

Dobbins, a painter 25 years old, was on a spree last night and amused himself by shattering several panes of glass in the windows at the residence of Peter Magonia, 221 Elm street. Officer Bigger placed the frolicsome Dobbins under arrest and put him in a cell at the Chestnut street station. About 7:30 o’clock the prisoner was attacked with delirium tremens and tried to dent the cell door with his head. He was sent as a hea oner to the City Hospital. MILLIONAIRES MACKAY AND BONYNGE. The True Inwardness of Their Encounter in San Francisco. NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—A dispatch from San Francisco yesterday stated that in the Presi- dent’s room of the Nevada Bank in that city, John W. Mackay whipped Mr. Oharles William Bonynge. Both gentle- men are well known millionaires. The encounter was short and decisive. Mlil- lionaire Mackay gave Millionaire Bonynge a hard punch inthe nose and knocked him down. When he got up Mr. Mackay gave him another punch, and the little millionaire clung to his knees until the clerks in the bank came in and separated the combatants. The cause of the fight is well known, and for a long time past it has been expected, Mr. Mackay having been heard to say that when he met Bonynge he would thrash him. Mrs. Mackay and Mrs. Bonynge are both in London where their millions are be- ing devoted to the task of attracting the cream of London society, and both ladies are making every effort to secure the highest social recognition. Whether they have been successful or not, mat- ters but little. The trouble was about the stories which have been published about both ladiesand which each side claims was instigated by theother. Mrs. Mackay’s alleged early history was told, and she was flippantly described as a ‘‘washerwoman and millionaire laundress.’’ This, of course, hurt a little, and about the same time the history of Mrs. Bonynge’s marriage, the first time, was ventilated. it wasalleged that her first husband, Mr. Danicls, was a convict, and thatshe had married her second husband while her ffrst was lingering in prison. Her two daughters, the daughters of Mr. Daniels, were with her in London and had adopted the name of Bon- ynge. Oneof them, Miss Virginia, was en- gaged tothe sonand heir of Lord Delaware. One day a marked copy ofa New York publii- cation reached Lord Delaware as it did hun- dreds of others in London so- clety. This paper contained a story of of Mrs. Bonynge’s alleged convict husband, her marriage, divorce and all the particulars. The son and heir of Lord Delaware was sent on a tour of the world, and when he came back, married another lady. Subsequently he was drowned. It was said that both ladies had, through their husbands, established correspondents in New York, whose only duty was to secure the publication of these reciprocal attacks. Tom Ochiltree was charged with working the Mackay endof the fight, but the story has been declared false.

A t . ¢ as oh Yo ee of t. ¢ Mei sy & ’ nhs eS online. aden —_— ees Perr - « * - ~ dé J . — ase OVER THE FRANCHISE OF THE CINCINNATI CLUB. of Trotters and Pacers Last a “Ne Athletics and Sporting News - of All Kind e Cincinnati Enquireris making a hard t to régain possession of the League fran- and club of that city for Aaron and | y Stern. If John T. Brush of Indlanapo- “Ms gets the franchise the Sterns will not be in _ it, and so the Enquirer is using its best en- »Geavors to keep the Hoosier clothier out of the Queen City. They '@re for Al Johnson as _ between Brush and Johnson and evidently expect that ' ifthe Cleveland man gets itthe Sterns will ‘have a voice in the club management. John- gon and Brush are to meet at Cincinnati to- day and, it is said, that the former will either “get the franchise alone or turn his interest Over tothe Sterns. This is whatthe Znquirer > Hias to say on the subject: >’ if AlJohnson, the Cleveland magnate, al- _ lows John T. Brush of Indianapolis to come 'in fora half interest inthe Cincinnati Club, ' fie will advertise himself as either an ex- | ceedingly generous man or a chump pure and » simple. Al Johnson, or rather tbe syndicate ' he represents, owns the Cincinnati League | fganchise, and noone outside this syndicate -hasaclaimofany kind on it. Alawyerof very ordinary ability could readily prove this. © There is ample evidence to show that the Cin- pcimmat League franchise is just as "valid and binding now as it was the 4th of last October, when it ‘was purchased from Mr. Stern py the - Brotherhood syndicate. True, the League | expelled the Cincinnati Club for an alleged ’ violation of its constitution, but if the matter | #6 sifted it will be found that the League ac‘ed | without warrant. The Cincinnati Club never » violated any rule or portion of the constitu- ' tion. Thiscan be proved easily and satis- _ factorily. True, the Cincinnati players took ' part in the games with Brotherhood teams, i but not the Cincinnatiteam. The games at > the Cincinnati Park last fall were between the | Brotherhood teams anda co-operative team | representing the Queen City. This can be q ete by the testimony of every “member of .the Cincinnati team, by | hewspaper notices, published two weeks in | advance in the Enquirer, announcing that the * Cincinnati team would disband on Oct. 4, by _jetters from four or five of the most prom!i- | nent League magnates advising what course » should be pursued by the local League off- | clals. Nota game was played with disqual- wSpence ' ified teams until Oct. 4, and on that date the ' Cincinnati League team disbanded. Manager | Tom Loftus wrote a number of League mag- ' nates a month before the close of the season ' asking permission to play | the exhibition season. He received in reply | letters stating that the League constitution » would not permit Sunday games, but that the ' Cincinnati management could get around 'this by declaring the Cincinnati team | disbanded at the close of the sea- ' gon and playing as an independent organiza- tion. This course was pursued. and ex- » Treasurer Harry Stern has these within his ' safe. The Cincinnati players were notified » that the Cincinnati Club would disband Oct. 4. » All of them will have to testify tothis. So. if ’ Al Johnson wants to stand pat he has a good 'case. It will not bea hard matter to prove “that the League had no right to expel the E Cincinnati Club. It will be remembered that -the American Association tried to drop the | Metropolitans at the end of 1885, but were » forced to hold them by reason of the interfer- > ence law. If Johnson knows his business he » will look out for himself. Both Johnson and Brush are good men, but it would be better . for the club if it had home capital at its back. ATHLETICS. Mediator, in the New York WorRLD, writes - the following defense of the Salford Harriers, ' who since their return to England have been © accused of professionalism in connection ©» with their American tour: » The Manhattan Athletic Clubarranged fora 'Beries of athletic meetings throughout the “United States. The Manhattan Athletic Club » made an agreement with the Salford Harriers | that the two clubs would share all expenses, » share all losses and share all profits, with the | additional proviso that the Manhattan Ath- *iétic Club would pay to the Salford Har- “Tiers, inthe eventof there being no profit 'from any of the meetings, $1,000 towards the , payment of their expenses, which was about 'half of the estimated cost of the Harriers’ ‘trip. The result of the tour was, as the bal- "ance sheets willshow, a financial success to ‘the extent that the Salford Harriers will »come outabout even, with possibly a small balance over expenses. I may state, for ‘the further information of ‘‘Pendragon,’’ “that the meetings in America were ‘held under the joint auspices of the ‘Ohicago Oricket and Athletic Club, the ‘Detroit Athletic Club, the Buffalo Ath- Iétic Club, the Boston Athletic Association, ‘the Athletic Club of the Schuylkill Navy of ‘Philadelphia, the Manhattan Athletic Club bhi Salford Harriers, in their respective tities. These American organizations are » the biggest amateur athletic organizations ‘inthe United States. These joint meetings ' were held on precisely the same lines as the “joint meeting betweenthe Moseley Harriers ‘@nd the Blackheath Harriers in Engiand ‘some years ago;as the Manhattan Athletic Oluband the South London Harriers’ joint tting held in England some few years @gz0, andalsoas the joint meeting which I ‘Delieve was held by the Manhattan Athletic “Cluband the London Athletic Club during ‘ne of the visits of L. E. Myers to England. Atany rate ‘‘Pendragon’’ can easily judge from thé above that the Salford Harriers, in coming to America, did so strictly on amateur nes. Of course he will understand that no aber of the Salford Harriers received any money directly or indirectly, orany benefit en x than in the payment of legitimate trav- ng, training and hotel expenses; therefore I sincerely trust that ‘‘Pendragon’’ will do amende honorableand put the Salford ; rs right in their own home. I particu- larly desire this, as the writings of ‘‘Pendra- zon’ are read by every one interested in port in the United Kingdom, and, I may fate, by all Englishmen ifhterested through- mit the whole world. a OARSMAN CORBETT’S DISQUALIFICATION. srecent meeting of the executive com- tee of the National Association of Amateur uy n at the Grand Union Hotel was nota- | p for the action taken in the case of J.
