Loxpox, Jan. 9. - The police at Walsall are ) investigations into the Walsall Anarchists. The authorities are extremely recticent regard- ing their discoveries, but it has leaked out that their investigations have developed the fact that the prisoners, Calles, Slaughter and Deakin, with others who are not yet in custody, were hatching a plot resembling in its details the plot of the Anarchists in Chicago, which led to the Haymarket mas- cacre. It is asserted that some of the docu- ments seized by the police are of an ex- tremely startling nature. Further arrests ere pretty certain to follow. The plotters have evidently little fear of the police, or else they thought the nearer they were to them the safer from discovery they would be, ſor, their club - room was within a stone’s throw of the police station. The windows which present an extremely unkept appear- making further Among the spoils that have fallen into the hands of the policeis a heap of pamphiets and papers found intheclub room, These contain articles couched in violent language against rich men, monopolies and society in general, Among the papers found were cop- tes of the Chicago Anarchist, besides a large number of cartoons published with American and Continental Anarchist papers. A DANGEROUS PLOTTER. The police regard Slaughter as the most dangerous memberof the gang. He was born in Norwich but has lived for years in the United States. He is a self-educated man, speaks several languages fluently and israbidin his support of socialistic doc- trines. Slaughter came to Walsall six months ago and immediately became a mem- ber ofthe club. He soon developed into a leader and since then has virtually been the prime mover in all the schemes con cocted by the Anarchists in that town, Notwitnstanding their reticence regarding the details of the conspiracy said to have been unearthed, the police display no hesi- tancy In giving a history of Slaughter. They claim to have knowledge that he was prom!- nent among the Socialists of Chicago at the time ofthe Haymarket massacre, and claim he has been connected with every big Anarchist movement in recent years. Slaughter talks with an American accent, He is tall and slim and weers a sandy musteche. Since last July he has been employedinafoundry. When the police searched Slaughter’s lougings they found an immense assortment of literature, in which the most violent form of language was used to arouse Anarchists and to revenge themselves upon society forthe wrongs they allege to have suffered. FIGHT OR STARVE. Among the papers seized was a circular which says: Fight or starve. We, of the International Secret Society, appeal to our fellows to bear this miserable life no longer.

The mails, as a rule, are five hours late, causing great inconvenience and loss to the businsss community. On some of the railroad lines traffic Nas been so entirely stopped that the officials have deferred any further efforts to break the blockade until the weather moderates. Telegraphic communication is naturally a matter of difficulty, but the experience xained by the post-office authorities and rail - railroad people during the past storms have taught them not to depend entirely upon the wires strung along the telegraph poles. Low wires have been run to different points, so that the telegraphic stagnation which fol- lowed the snow storms of the early part of last year is missing to a considerable degree at present. Vegetables and fruits, to say nothing of meat and milk, are at a premium in the snow-bound towns, and bread has also risen in price owing to the aifficulty which the bakers have or claim to have in obtaining their supplies of flour. Should the storm continue for a few days longer, such articles of food will have been run up toa famine price. The greatest sufferers, or rather the suffer- ers most to be pitied, are the laborers. The weather bids fairto deprive them of at least a whole week’s work at this ticklish period ofthe year. As for the farmers, they are heartbroken. For twelve long months storm seems to have followed storm over these islands, untilthe farmers are reduced toa really pitiable condition, During last winter they suffered from three terrible snow- storms—bDlizzards which destroyed their ground seeds and froze their cattle and flocks todeath. Then, toward the last of the year, there were three more terrific gales, wind and rain following up with further fury the damage already dune by. the snow- storms. Whole districts were flooded, miles upon miles of country were under water for weeks, crops everywhere were much dam- aged, and in many places they were entirely destroyed. Here again, the poor, out-door laborers were the sufferers most worthy of pity, though hundreds of small farmers were completely ruined, while others were com- pelled to mortgage their property in order to try and repair the damage done. The weather clerks seem to be utterly at fault in regard to weather prophecies or to be too befuddled with red-tapeism to accu- rately gauge the possibilities for these suffer- ing islands. London is managing to plod along in its us- ual sleepy manner, in spite of the weather, though the price of vegetables has gone up to an appreciable degree. BRITISH POLITICS. THE QUEEN FAVORS POSTPONEMENT OF THE GENERAL ELECTIONS, Loxpox, Jan. 9.—It is learned on good authority to-day that among the forces which make for a late as against an early dissolution of Parliament is the not inconsid- erable one of the Queen’s influence. Of course Her Majesty is mainly incapable of partisanship, but at her time of life she is naturally averse to the prospect of great political and social changes, and it is ob- vious that the best way of averting or at any rate of retarding these is to defer the general election to the latest possible moment. On the other hand, it is stated that Mr. Balfour favors an early dissolution. He frankly admits that the Irish local government bill must de unpopular. A large number of conservative members of Parliament are going to retire at the end of this session, and therefore if they are mutinously inclined can rebel against the bill without fear of consequences. The members who are seeking re-election will be busy among their constituents, and the Gov- ernment will therefore be bereft of a great deal of its proper support and perilously ex- posed to the attack of a vigilant and de- termined opposition. Mr. Balfour would naturally be very unwilling that his first ses- sion as leader of the House of Commons should be signalled by a parliamentary de- feat, and he would prefer to obviate the risk by an early appeal to the country. The meetiug of the Cabinet yesterday be- gins the Parliamentary business of the year. Its chief topic was the discussion of the real difficulty of the coming session, the restric- tion provisions of the Irish local government bill and the so-called safeguards which are to make the bill, soforas possible, acceptable to the Irish members, it is said, have been determined by Salisbury and Balfour. It is important that the bill shall be framed en- tirely upon the responsibility of the Ministers notin concert with the Duke of Devonshire and Chamberlin, who will virtually have no cognizance ofits provisions untilit is ex- pounded in the House by Secretary Jackson, HENRY IRVING'S SON. THE MYSTERY OF THE SHOOTING STILL UNEX- PLAINED—FORCE OF HEREDITY. Lonpon, Jan. 9.—There is something very mysterious in the lack of authentic tnforma- tion about the shooting of Irving’s son in Belfast. It was not until the day after the incident that the newspapers referred to it asan accident. The first accounts vaguely mentioned it as a shooting. Young Irving's condition is not very serious, though the doctors have not yet probed for the bullet, They think that he will be in bed at least two months. The young man is conscfous, talxs freely with his mother and physicians at- tending him, but nostatement has yet been made by him telling how the accident oc- curred. Everything is Dased on conjectures offered by companions in the Benson Theatri- cal Co. One of them named Hippisley lived in the same house with Irving, and was with him five minutes before the shooting, when he heard the report of the pistol rushed into Irving's room and found him writhing in agony on the bed. The revolver was on the floor and a bullet hole in his t breast. Irving offered no explanation as to how the accident occurred, but Hippisiey surmises he took up the weapon ina fit of absent-mindedness, While rehearsing his part, and it went of by accident. This is. also Benson’s view of the case. Neither of them knew until after the accident that Irving was in the habit of carryinga pistol. Owing to the — — — ee Sogeere Se other people in a posi ip formation these are all the facts that can be obtained. At the same there seems to be no atall for the cide. - „ ö q tions of attempt at sul- " ! other PASSENGERS ON STEAMERS SAILING FOR NEW YORK—MISS MITCHELL’S INTENDED. Loxpox, Jan. 9.—Steamships leaving Eng- land for New York this week were unusually crowded for this time ofthe year. Both the Teutonic and Saale were, quite full. Archi- bald Forbes and wife are passengers on the Saale. Senor Souza Rosa; Portugese Minis- ter to the United States, sailed on the Teu- tonic, Vice-Consul Hitt, who resigned this week, sailed with his family on the City of Berlin. No American will get his place. Gen. New has given it to Chief Clerk F rigout, who was connected with the Consulate thirty years, It is not a political plum by any means and has hitherto been filled by young Americans who desired to taste London life and establish acquaintances to enable them to branch into broader fields. Monroe Rosenfeld has gone to Milan to see Mascagni. Alonzo D. Melvin of Chicago was married in IAverpool this week to Elia Herriman. The best man was J. F. Ryder of Brooklyn. Joun Shangraun, Buffaio Bill’s interpreter, was also married in Liverpool to a lady named Lillfe Orr. George Fowler of Kansas City, of late years in business in Liverpool, died yesterday. The relatives of the Duc de Rochefoucault are renewing their efforts to break off the en- gagement of the Duc to Miss Mitchell, daughter ofthe Oregonian Senator, whois not wealthy enough to meet their views. Both the contracting parties, however, are Proof against all opposition, and there is no doubt the marriage will occur as already an- nounced. Great preparations are being made forthe event. Moucet, the celebrate modiste, is ‘‘creating’’ a gorgeous gown for the bride, a notable feature of which will be the profusion of rare old lace used as adorn- ment. N LONDON THEATERS. RAVAGES OF THE GRIP AMONG ACTORS AND AUDIENCES—NEW PLAYS. Loypox, Jan. 9.—Influenza is making havoc at the theaters, not only with the audiences, but with the actors. Nellie Farren’s illness became so severe this week that her recovery seemed most unlikely. In any event she will notappear on the stage again this winter. Toole is still confined to his bed. Jessie Mill- ward has been ordered to take a trip to the Canary Islands. Mrs. Jason Waod is too ill to act. The advance booking for Irving’s ‘‘Henry VIII.“ is the largest in the history of the Lyceum Theater. It is a splendid spectacle production and has caught the popular favor, but London critics agree that Wolsey will not rank among Irving’s great characters. Gllvert's new opera is also drawing at full capacity at the Lyric Theater. Hodgson Burnett's hew play, The Showman’s Daugh- ter, is only a moderate success. It seems odd that a woman who can write such inter- esting novels writes such poor plays. An old showman educates his daughter as a lady. She thinks hima servantatfirst and after- wards loves and cherishes him as her father. There is no denouement in the play, and the dialogue is commonplace. It is estimated that Henry VIII. must run at least sixty nights before Irving re- coups the expenses. He spent $75,000 before the curtain rose Tuesday. The weekly ex- pense is $4,000. A full house atthe Lyceum represents $2,000, ° THE MAN OF THE HOUR. CHURCHILL WANTS NO DIPLOMATIC POST—THE GEM OF AFRICA. Lonpoxr, Jan. 9.—Randolph Churchill is again fora moment the man of the hour. It must be confessed that the large amount of attention of which he is just now the center is due to the general anxiety to know what he will do next. He has taken the first op- portunity todeny reports of his desire for diplomatic service. lou may give it a com- plete denial,’’ said Lord Randolph to the in- terviewer on landing. He says Mashonaland is not suited for generalemigration. ‘‘There he said, ‘‘plenty of auriferous but so far as 1 have seen, reef pinches out. Certainly the country has not been thoroughly prospected, There may be untold gold in it, but every essay is disappointing. However little I know, itis certain I have seen more than Mr. Cecil Rhodes has, and am in a better po- sition toform a substantial judgment than my critics at home. I have seen everything which other people have seen. There seems to be a genera! impression that I have some object in making the worst of the country. It isa mistaken impression. I havean interest in the country. I have bought half a gold mine and don’t think much of it. The gem of South Africa is the Transvaal.’’ Lord Randolph looks stout and bronzed. His wife chose an effective way to set at rest idle gossip by going to Southampton with her son to get her husband. THAT ROYAL GRANT. MONEY NEEDED FOR CLARENCE AND HIS BRIDE. Loxpor, Jan. 9.—Asthe time for the mar- riage of the Duke of Clarence and the Prin- cess Victoria of Teck draws nearer the num- ber of feelers thrown out, evidently ema- nating from high quarters, for the purpose of testing public feeling in regard to the voting of a grant from the public treasury for the young couple increases. Itis appar- ent that the Cabinet will consider the propo- sition of sach a grant necessary, and are only in doubt as to the best time and manner of springing it upon Parliament and the people. They do not wish to bring the idea up too soon, pre- ferring to educate public sentiment gradual- ly up to the proper point, if they can manage to do so, before making any demand. The Liberals are making a dead set against the idea of any grant whatever. The Pall Mall Gesetie is the most vehement of the which oppose the scheme of a dona- tion tothe royal couple. It calls the pro- posal a ridiculous one, and declares that while it would be a great pity H a discordant note should disturb the joyful occasion of the marriage, yet the wedding bells would purely jangle out of tune if the Tories should propose such a measure of folly, commit such an incredible breach of », @8 would be involved in asking for an- grant for the descendants of ruyalty, after tlie understanding arrived at asa con- dition precedent to the Battenburg grant.

The New Ruler Not a Friend of the British —Terms Upon Which the Present Gov- ernment Is Maintained—The French May See an Opportunity Long Looked for—Former Interventions by Foreign Powers—Affairs in Morrocco. Loypown, Jan. 9.—The death of Tewfik Pasha, the Khediveof Egypt, has naturally excited considerable discussion regarding England's occupation of Egypt and revived what is nowecalled the question of Egypt.’’ Anold attached of the British Foreign office,in speaking on the subject this evening, after stating that the death of Tewfk would not affect Englands position regarding Egypt, briefly summarized the situation as follows: „The first Euroreon otcupation of Egypt was that of Bonaparte, which was rendered futile by the destruction of the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile, and terminated by the surrender of the French forces at Cairo and at Alexandria after Bir Ralph Abercromby’s victory at Aboukir, _Bonaparte’s purpose: in going to Egypt was to gain a footing on the way to India, Wi @ view to assailing wnat he thougbt the Weak point of the Brit- ish Empire. A second European intervention took place when MeRomet All, the Viceroy of Egypt, havipg conquered Syria from the Porte, wished to retain that country. France under M. Thiers was in favor of the claim, but the other four powers were opposed to it, and, after military naval operations compelling the withdrawal of the Egyptian forces from Syria, agree@ to recognize Me- homet Ali and his descendants as hereditary rulers of Egypt subject to a tribute tothe Porte. In this arrangement the French Gov- ernment eventually concurred. THE DUAL CONTROL. The third intervention—&@ peaceful and pri- vate one—was that of M. De Lesseps, who with the aid of Egyptiam forced labor and of subsidies and grants of lands from the Khe- dive Ismall, constructed the Suez Canal. Is mall was an extravagant Prince, and bur- dened his subjects with the interests of debts of which the capital was spent by himself. The creditors ofthe Khedive’s Government gradually became ala at the disordered state of Ismall’s finances and deputed the Right Hon. George J. Gosehen and a French financier, M. Joubert, to watch over weir interests. Even * a2 ö French Govern * Dönsent of the other Powers, took zoint steps to secure the creditors. Two deslegates, one of each nation, were accredited tothe Khedive, with authority to be presentat the meeting of the Ministers and to give them their advice. This was the famous dual control. Procedure of this sort tends to greater interference, and in June, 1879, the two Governments ordered the abdication and extle of Ismail and set up Tewfkx in his piace. Tewfk was a mere tool of the two powers. and as such became un- popular. Evidence was soon abun dant that the Egyptian party would attempt to upset Te vik as soon as they had reason to hope that the two powers would not prevent them, Diplomacy followed regarding measures in an event of an outbreak. ‘*The hesitation ofthe two powers to co- operate inthe use of force was soon per- celved by Ariba Pasha and his friends, and disturbances followed. Diplomacy was still at work when the British Adu. al bombarded Alexandria, the harbor having been pre- viously left by the French fleet. Negotiations followed in which proposals were made for the co-operation oi France and Italy, and of Turkey in subsequent operations. But, De- fore any result came to them the battle of Tel-el-Keber had been fought and England had conquered alone, the English govern- ment in 18892 being in possession of Egypt without being bound in any way. PRESSED BY FRANCE. Since 1882 France has hardly ever ceased to press for the evacuation of Egypt, not so far as can be perceived on England’s promise to withdraw the troops in 1888 it circumstances would permit it, but on the ground of special French interests inthe country. The French opposition to British attempts to set the government of Egypt upon a solid found- ation have been a lever for every diplomatist hostile to Great Britain. Prince Bismarck obtained geveral concessions from England to his unfriendly colonial policy by the threat to side with the French diplomatic opposi- tion regarding Egypt. In 1888 it was neces- sary to defend Egypt against attaeks from the Soudan.. French statesmen admit that the English have so far succeeded in benefit- ing gree. The pledges given by Mr. Glad- stone’s vernment of which the validity has never deen denied by any English statesmen of either party, aim at the right of Europe to settle the Egyptian question. **Unfortunately since 1882 the concert of Europe has disappeared, to give place toa Europe divideg into two camps. If the French government would unite with that of Great Britain to bring about with regard to Egypt an agreement between the two pow- ers, the true basis for the evacuation of Egypt would be obtained,and a step would have been taxen toward the restoration of that concert which has so long been in abey- ance. Itis desirable from an English point of view that the occupation of Egypt should cease, but it is one thing to withdraw by way of admission of a peculiar French right u re- gard to that conntry, and quite another to hand over the responsibility for its future to the common will of the two powers. THE NEW RULER. European correspondents of British news- papers are devoting all thelr energies to try and find out something about the personal character and political predelictions of the new Khedive, who succeeded to the throne to-day. He is believed to be entirely French in his sympathies, not sharing in any degree his father’s fonduess for the English. As this young man is not yet of age question of a regency is licely to cause unpleasant § complica- tious.

CarrRo, Jan. 9.—Startling rumors have Khedive Tewfik Pasha: They were in effect thatthe Khedive died under suspicious cir- cumstances at least, and it was added that it was possible that he had been poisoned. The physicians who were in attendance upon the Khediveat the time of hig death were Dr. Comanosand Dr. Hesse, both of whom are Europeans. They were summoned at the first symptoms of danger whigh pre- sented themselves seventeen hours before the Khedive died. Dr. Comanos is preparing a report ofthe case. Inthe earlier stages of the attack the Khedive was attended by the native doctors, Salem and Issu. They have tions they may wish to communicate. A report.has been current to-day that Dr. Comanos will state in his: report that he was called to see the Khedive early on Thursday morning at the Helonan Palace, where Egypt’s late ruler event- ually died. The Khedive, according to this report, was then very ill, but he was unable to see him. Tewfk Pasha, it appears, was there, suffering from intense pain, due to an attack of pneumonia and from blood poisoning due touremia, The latter, with a weak heart, Dr. Comanos (who afterwards saw the Khedive’s body) says was the immediate cause of Tewflk Pasha’s death. The doctor’s report adds: His death was un- doubtedly accelerated by an overdose of mor- phine administered to the sick man by Dr. Salem Pasha, who, with Dr. Issa Bey, were the personal and private native physicians of the Khedive. Dr. Salem Pasha wos totally ignorant of the treatment of the disease from which the Khedive was suffering, yet he in- sisted upon ministering to the sick man. It is added that Dr, Salem Pasha disappeared on Thursday nightand that he has not been seen since. The native and British police are now searching for him. All the Medit- erranean ports are being watched, as it is rumored he escaped from Egypt on board a small sailing vessel and that heis bound for some lonely spot, where he can land unob- served and make his escape good. Another startling story told in substance is that Dr. Salem Pasha simply biundered, and when he discovered that he had caused the Khedive’s death he ran out of the Helonan Palace and drowned himself. As his body is not known to have been recov- n not and many! tion. As for the natives, they are firmly im- pressed with the beltef that the Khedive died from polson administered to him at the inst!- gation of the British or at the instigation of others who desire to see Egypt become, in fact, a portion of the . British Empire. Threats of violence are to be heard on all sides, and there have been numerous gather- ings in all the different parts of the city. The police break up these gatherings so soon as they are formed. This, however, does not tendin any way toallay the fever of excite- ment which has taken possession of the peo- ple These reports reached the ears of the official representatives of the powers, Sir Evelyn Baring, the British Minister Plenipotentiary, was among the first to be placed in posses- sion ofthe fact that this extraordinary re- port was being circulated and that it had been communicated tothe different capitals of Europe. The French Minister, it was added, had received instruction from his Government to have the matter thoroughly investigated. It is said this evening stories of this kind get into circulation immediately after the death of either Turkishor Egyptian rulers and they have been circulated so often they are regarded as a natural concomitant ofa ruler’s death. There is, however, a dispos!i- tion to see that the matter is thoroughly investigated. It is but natural in the political excited state ofthe public mind that the most sensa- tional stories should be circulated. Among the many rumors now afloat fs the report that the Khedive was poisoned at the instigation of parties inter- ested inthe maintenance of British rule in Egypt, and that the escape of Dr. Salem Pasha was winked at by the authorities. OPINION IN BERLIN. RERLIN, Jan. 9.—In this city the opinion is expressed that the Khedive lost his life through placing too much confidence in the native doctors. Nobody believes that the Khedive was poisoned intentionally. Hemay have died from an overdose of morphine ad- ministered to him by Dr. Salem Pasha, but it is not thought that it was done intentionally. It is admitted that the flight of Dr. Pasha isa suspicious circumstance,ifthat physician was looked upon as being upto the standard of European physicians; but, judged from his standard asan apparently ignorant native physician, his fight is not extraordinary, in fact it is said to be quite a natural thing for him to have done. It is supposed that he was alarmed by the symptoms which devel- oped in the Khedive after he had given him the overdose of medicine, ‘and that. fearing that his own life would pay the penalty for the mistake, he decided to run away. In regard to the Egyptian question, the concord between the German Government and that of Great Britain is perfect and no trouble is anticipated in official circles in consequence of the accession of Abbas Pasha. If the French revive the question of British occupation of Egypt they will receive no sup- port from either Russia or Turkey. The Czar, at present, is solicitous that Europe should remain tranqull and the Porte is ad- verse to French interference, Regarding a Regency, on which subject the French press is greatly excited, the Sultan’s firman establishing the succession of the eldest sons of Khedives also provides a deceased Khedive nas not duly appointed a Regency the Ministers shall” a Regent from among themselves, the Ministry form- of Regency.

The papers of Madrid strongly insist that Spain cannot allow the status quo in Morocco to be infringed. The Jmperial, while approving the action of France in the sending of a gunboat to Tangier to pre- vent British aggression, says it thinks it would have been better if France herself had not encroached npon the west and south of Morocco, A dispatch from Tangier announces the ar- rival there of the French cruiser Casto. The rebels are active and insist that the Sultan shall dismiss the obnoxious Governor, against whose tyranny they are in rebellion. There is no doubt but that the French Government regards the British movements in Morocco as due to designs to secure portions of the territory nominally under the sovereignty of the Sultan to her own use and occupation. This is especially the case In regard to the Oasis of Tonat; concerning which France and Morocco have been disputing for some time. Touat, with the Oasis of Gourara, Aonugerout and Tidikelt, form a group by themselves in the Sahara, and havea population of. about 200, 000 people. measure the It is impossible extent of the revolt against the Sultan, but it is possible that he willbe adle to suppress it. Muley Hassan has 10,000 disciplined infantry under the com- mand of an Englishman, #0 disciplined cavalry, afew batteries of fleld guns, com- manded by three French officers, and 2,000 irregular cavairy. In addition to these forcesthere are in the empire about 3,000 militia cavalry and 10,000 infantry. In case of trouble between France and En- gland the troops of the Sultan would hardly favor France. to A WEAK FLEET.

Finally, the Dreadnaught, 4 guns, 10,320 tons, 8,210 horse power, is coming back from sSalonica with half her crew suffering more or less from the prevailing epidemic. Of course, these figures give only a slight idea ofthe spread of the disease in the British Mediterranean fleet, for the Aga- memon, the Australia, the Ben Bow, the Colossus, the Edinburgh, the Tomerar, and the Undaunted (Lord Charles Beres- ford’s ship), the battle ships in those waters have had many influenza sufferers among the crews. 2 The above list does not include the many cruisers and gunboats of the British Medi- terranean fleet whose crews have not escaped the grippe.

MONTREAL, Jan. 9.—It is stated that the French Consul-General at Quebec has in- structed the French vice-consuls throughout rhe Dominion to warn all Frenchmen to hold themselves in readiness to join their re- spective corps in the French army. This is supposed to be in consequence of the Tangier incident. ITALY’S HAND. Rome, Jan. 9.—It is asserted by several newspapers of this city that Italy is about to gend a war ship to Morocco. TRACY’S REPORTED DISAPPEARANCE, The Rumor Discredited at Police Head- quarters. San Francisco, Cal.,Jan. 9.—Police oficiais here are greatly worried over the mysterious, absence or disapperance of Detective Tracy of st. Louis, who left St. Louis ten days ago for San Francisco with requisition papers for Mrs. Hedspeth, wifeof oneof the Glendale train robbers, whois now in jail here... De- tectives Ross, Whitakerand Byram of this city, who went to St, Louis with Adelbert Denton Slye, the train robber caught at Los Angeles, where he was conductinga saloon, under the name of A. H. Denton, returned yesterday. They left St. Louis Sunday and came back over the Southern route. It was first supposed that Detective Tracy was snowed in at some station along the central overland route, but for the past two days trains have been running on time, and this theory is of noavail. Some of the police are inclined to think the St. Louls detective met with foul play en route here. Mrs. Hedspeth is still silent and will not talk to the police or | to reporters.

The People Favor Neutrality and the Min- istry Hesitate to Proclaim a Policy— Russian Invasion May Solvethe Prob- lem—Randolph Churchill the Man of the Hour—British Parliament—Storm= Stricken Scotland—Foreign News. VIENNA, Jan. 9.—The change of Ministry in Roumania from a composite to a conserva- tive or anti- Russian one is not regarded in diplomatic circles with the seriousness that some of the European papers attach to it. The interview between King Charles of Rou- mania and the Emperor of Austria, in which it is alleged that the sovereigns had arrived at an entente will, however, have the effect of hastening the solution of the crisis which has for months been weighing heavily on Roumania by forcing the latter country to declare on which of the two sides into which Europe is now divided she intends to cast her destiny. A correspondent telegraphing from, Bucharest this evening says: King Charies, although the constitutional King of Roumania, has in no way lost the habits and instincts of the Hohenzollerns. which never had any solid root in the His dynasty, has recently lost what little country tty it ever had owing to King Charlies’ party in Roumania is that it is pro-Russtan, It is on this point that all Roumanian politics now hinge, no matter what the curtain thrown to hide it may be—whether Roumania joins Russia or the Triple Alliance in the conflict which everyone here believes and speaks of as approaching. The bulk of opinion in the country is in favor of neutrai- ity, but that, under the circumstances, ig felt to de impossible. THE RIGHT OF WAY. The Roumanians would even be willing to give each side the right of way across itg territory if the area can be defined and lim- ited, but that could not be done without, toa great extent, exposing the plan of cam- paign, and so the discussion of the course to be followed is narrowed to partisans of Rus- sia and the Triple Alliance, , and all the questions which during his in the other Balkan States, and the new Min- istry will endeavor to keep matters remain- ing in the balance untilthe last moment, or until one of the powers cuts the knot of the difficulty by marching into Roumania. Regarding the military aspect of the ques- tion now before the Roumanian people, the correspondent says: Bucharest is being strongly fortified a la Plevna by works de- signed by the celebrated Belgian engineer, Gen. Brialmont. These works could serve equally as well against Russia or Austria. The construction of the Galatz-Namolosa- Fokshani lines, however, indicates that Russia would be resisted if she attempted to trespass beyond the line of the Seveth, but that the way is open to her to march against the Bulgarianstotne south via the Dob- rudsja, or against the Austrians in Transyl> vania tothe west of Bessarabia. It is this that has given rise to the cry in Northern Moldavia, that they are to be sacrificed. — THE ROUMANIAN ARMY. The power of Roumania for war is repre- sented by an army of 150,000 men, all told, The material is good, but the fault is that the corps of officers, as a whole, are not equal to their position, either in training, education or spirit. The majority are mere sword- rattlers and boulevard loungers. The num- ber of officers of capacity and devotion to. their profession and duty is extremely small. The truth of this was conspicuous during the recent autumn maneuvers, when, while the men ofthe reserve turned out with praise- worthy alacrity, the reserve officers who should have joined their corps absented themselves tothe extent in some cases of 60 and even 70 percent. This would appear incredible if it were not officially noted. Pol- itics and the low tone of public morality are principally responsibie for this. A very competent military authority, speaking the other day of the new Rou- manian fortificatioas, said their value de- pended very much on how they are held; as. he discreetly put it, there wasa want of ten- acity among the officers, the majority of the latter and the men being strongly pro-Rus- sia. ö That the Government itself is not entirely confident of the military situation is evinced by the fact that it proposes calling out the whole army early in the spring to test the new system of mobilization, and will demand a credit of 10,000,000 francs for the purpose, which is a considerable sum.

BERLIN, Jan. 9.—The Reichstag next week will debate ‘the bill for the suppression of Grunkenness. The Bundesrath has approved the measure as it was originated by Emperor William, only modifying the severity of pen- alties to be imposed upon offending public- house keepers. The Ministers, it is known, consider the proposals with disfavor and the members ofthe Bundesrath express doubts as to their practical value. However, the Emperor having set his heart upon trying the effect upon drinking of legislative restric- tions has obtained from them a hesitating as- gent. The fate ofthe measure in the Reich- stag is doubtful, The Conservatives aud Na- tional Liberals will support the bill while Vreisinnige and Socialist parties will op- pose it, mainly because its provisions will in- Vest the police authorities with exceptional powers of interference in the private life of citizens. The clause in the measure which has Caused the most widespread objection em- powers the officials to prosecute all persons Genounced to them as habitual drunkards and to cause them to be imprisoned until they shall have obtained a medical certifi- Cate stating that they have been cured of the liquor habit. Their property also may be Seized and applied to the support of their families and of them- selves during their imprisonment. The Dill fails so entirely to define what proof will be sufficient to warrant the arrest and seques- tration of a person denounced asa habirual dru as to enable malicious or prejudiced 2 free scope. The measure, if it mes a law, will inevitably give rise to a host of malici informers and blackgnallers who will contiffually busy themselves in lay- ing traps for the keepers of places of public resort, and will always stand in readiness to last the reputations of private individuals. No public enthusiasm is shewn in support of the proposals. On the contrary the pre- valling opinion seems to be that the bill will never operate successfully in any large sec- tion of the empire. When the bill was be- fore the Bundesrath Chancellor Lanemann of Bavaria induced that body to discriminate betweed the various forms of drunkenness. It was found practically impossible, how- ever, to classify drinkers of comparatively harmless beer and wine apart from the Grunkards who are poisoning themselves with potate spirits. , Prosecutions under the bill will follow when two witnesses of the offense shall denounce the culprit, and should the measure ever come into active operaion inthis city there will be a mighty swarm of convictions. The center party is divided upon the question of the wisdom of the measure, the majority leaning towards the bill as moral legislation approved by the Vatican. The result de- pends upon the centrists, and, therefore, the Dillislikely to pass. f The Emperor will open the Landtag in per- gon on Thursday next. It is expected that the speech from the throné on that occasion will contain declarations in relation to the internal and foreign policies of the Govern- ment. STRIKING PRINTERS. THE CONTEST STILL ON IN GERMAN CITIES—HERR BEBEL’S ADDRESS. BERLIN, Jan. 9.—The strike of printers is still partly on in Berlin, Leipsic, Frankfort and Munich. The strike leaders state that 10,000 men are still out and that the 14,000 men at work are contributing tothe fund for the support of the strikers. The leaders also Claim that if assisted from abroad the men will be able to hold out until their movement is crowned with success. „A number of master printers in this city have conceded the demands of the men, and ,400 of the strikers have been enabled to re- turn to work. The condition of the strikers in Berlin is hopeful, but the men in Munich, Munster, Leipsic and stuttgart, where there is less prospect of an immediate return to work are suffering greatly. Public meet- ings have been held in every provincial center for the purpose of expressing approv- al of the movement, but material support falls. It the men had not associated their cause with socialism, popular aid would have Deen more readily secured. As matters now Stand. unless further foreign heip is received, the movement will inevitably collapse, Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, in an ad- Gress to a conference of workmen at Mul- house, at which 1,000 persons were present, eded to attack the capitalists and the rgeoise in his usual vein. He was per- mitted to proceed until he began to comment upon the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine, when the police, who were present in consid. erable force, compelled him to desist and broke up the meeting amid cheers for Herr LADY BROOKE.

Sensational Deveſdpiaents in the Ja- cobson Murder Case. A WITNESS FORCED TO TESTIFY FALSELY BY THE POLICE. The \‘tartling Confession Made by Edward W. Canipbell, the Principal Witness Against Sidney Bell, Convicted of the “ murder of Sam Jacobson in San Fran- cisco—Crimigal Calendar. ea, III., Jan. 9.—Edward W. Camp- bell, who was the principal witness against Sidney Bell, who was convicted in San Francisco last summer of the murder of Sam Jacobson, a somewhat noted man about town, and sentenced to death to-day, made a full confession to the effect that he was forced to testify falsely by the police author- ities and that the real murderer was one Henry Swartz, whom he saw escaping from the house a moment after the shot was fired. The confession, whieh covers nearly twenty pages of type-written manuscript, goes into full details of the alleged con- spiracy against Bell and says that another witness named schmidt, who was under indictment for burglary, and committed sul- cide shortly after testifying against Bell, did so because the police had failed to re- lease him as the agreed price for his cap- ture. According to Campbell’s statement, Jacobson came home to find is sister in the company of Swartz. A melee ensued in which Jacobson was shot. This wasthe opinion largely entertained in San Francisco at the time of the tragedy. Bell is a native of Columbus, O., and served several years inthe United States navy, be- ing discharged with a high reco;d. The con- fession was at once telegraphed to San Fran- ciso, and a dispatch to-night says that it has set the town wild. NOW WEARING STRIPES. BILLY M’GLORY, THE DIVE KEEPER, SENT TO BLACKWELL’S ISLAND. New Tonk, Jan. 9.—The dives are in mourning to-night. The King ofthe Keep- ers“ has gone to Blackwell's Island. Billy McGlory is now wearing stripes. A few minutes after ten o’clock a keeper to-day at the Tombs called out: Prisoners for the Island, get ready. The Black Maria was waiting out- side. MoGiory was neatly dressed in dark clothes and a black derby, and he also wore dark brown kid gloves. He had been chip- peruptothen, hopingfor a gtay. He was handcuffed to a young lad sent up for larceny. Dong, dong, a big bell in the yard rang out 7 and the driver ofthe van yelled out: Get n!“ One of the first to obey the com- mand was McGlory, who dragged his com- panion in after him. Two women were given laces im the front seat with the river and with another loud ringing of the yard bell, the wide gates were thrown open. Ihen, witha heavy lurch the prison van left the yard, ana ‘‘Billy’’ McGlory had started totake up his residence on Black. well’s Island. McGlory’s sentence of a term of one year in the penitentiary and a fine of $300 was scarcely less palatable than Recorder Smythe’s roasting ofthe sleek, well-dressed dive king in pronouncing sentence yesterday. The Recorder snapped out severely: Everybody who has lived in this city, as I have, for a number of years must know your character has been infamous and that = have kept the most infamous resorts that ave ever disgraced this czy. There is only one thing in your favor—you did not go upon the witness stand and commit perjury as some defendants do. I willtake that fact— and it is the only fact Iwill take—into con- sideration in passing sentence upon you.’’ THE QUACKENBUSH TRAGEDY. LITTLE HOPE OF THE UNFORTUNATE WIYFE’S RECOVERY. NEW York, Jan. 9.—Mrs. Charles 8. Quack- enbush, who was shot by her husband, who then killed kimself, in their five-room flat at No. 15 Warren street, Newark, last night, is still alive at St. Michael's Hospital. After the shooting she was removed to the hospital. Her husband’s bullet entered her head at the back of the left ear and lodged in the Drain. As the bullet is in her brain, there seems to be but little hope of her recovery, but a consultation willbe held to-day. she has been unable to make any statement. The family consists of Quackenbush, his wife and three children. Quackenbush formerly re- sided in Albany,where he led a life of leisure, having inherited money from his father, who wasa weaithy man and formerly Mayor of Albany. He was addicted to drink, and when under the influence of liquor was ugly, quarrelsome and wicked. On more than one occasion he threatened to kill his wife, and on one occasion was pre- vented from running a sabre through her. While out on bail 1. trial Quackenbush went to Montreal, taking his eldest daughter, Maggie, with him, Then he began writing his wife, telling her to send the children and their clothing to Montreal. In each letter he cau- tioned his wife not to come herself, or he would fix her f she did. She became much alarmed, and went to see Prosecutor Crane, who ordered the police to look out for Quack- enbush’s return. Quackenbush reached home unexpectedly at 8 o’clock last night. He bad been drinking. As soon as he entered he be- gan abusing his wife because she had not sent him the clothing and children. A few moments later there was a scuffle in the rooms and three shots were heard. Quackenbush had $756 in bills, a bond and mortgage for $6,500, and a lot of other valuable papers when found. It is believed that he intended to give this money to Law. er McDermott to make up the $7,000 intended or his wife’s support. It is also inferred from this that the shooting was not premedi- tated. He was prominently identified with — — Army of the Republic post in Al- SHOT IN THE BACK. A DESPERADO’S ATTEMPT ro ESCAPE FROMA JAIL GUARD.

KILLED HIS HALF-BROTHER. THE TERRIBLE CRIME OF JOHN WASHINGTON, 4 ' TEXAS FARMER. GAINESVILLE, «Tex. , Jan. 9.—News reached here to-day that John Washington shot and instantly killed his haif-brother, Jim Washington, yesterday afternoon in Delaware Bend; this county. The trouble originated over the partition of some land. Jim had but recently a ttained his majority, and a few daysago was mar- ried to the daughter of Judge Tobe Love of the Indian Territory. Prior to this John had occupied the land, a part of which Jim claimed since his marriage. Jim had begun the erection of a house on what he thought to be his land, and this was the occasion of many angry words between them. Tuesday all parties were in this city and that day took Jake Brasleton, the County Surveyor, out to n the dividing line. It was while doing is that the killing occurred, From the best in- formasion obtainable it seems that there was no iaTnediate provocation for the killing, but that Jim Washington was walking along with a stone on his shoulder when John shot him the ball striking above the right hip an lodginginthe abdomen. John Washington then turned on Brasleton, the surveyor, who ran and escaped n the woods. There was great excitement in this city When the news reached here, and as noone had seen Brazleton since the killed in the woods. ganized to search news came to-night was at Dexter unhurt. John Washington fied during the night, but officers are in pur- suit, All the parties are well known in this section of Texas and throughout the Indian Territory: The Washington family is one of the oldest, most respected and wealthiest in North Texas. BIGAMIST ANDERSON, WIFE NO. 8 WRITES TO THE CLEVELAND (o.) AUTHORITIES. | OLEVELAND, O., Jan. 9.—John A. Anderson, the Dane whois now in jail nere charged with having roboed and abandoned Mrs. Purcell of St. Louis after having committed bigamy dy marrying her, is developing into a wandering rival of Brigham Young. Wife No, 8 was heard from ay the police to-day. Rer. L. F. Holt of Upper Alton, III., writing for the woman, states that on July 81, 1888, he officiated as clergymanatthe marriage of a man who ve his name as Luther H. Meade or Lewis i. Meade to Miss Nancy E. Can- feldin Madison, Wis. About three weeks after the marriage Meade abandoned his wife, borrowing all the money he could from her with the announced intention of going to Gallup, N. M. Rev. Mr. Holt says the vil- lainous actions of Meade correspond so closely to Anderson’s methods that he is inclined to believe that Meade, Madison and Anderson are one and the same person, and that Mrs. Oanfield Meade is another of the slick Dane’s dupes. The statement that one of Mrs. Madi- som’s letters was signed L. H. Meade is the clue Mr. Holt depends upon, and the police ere believe Mrs. Canfield Meade is Wife No. 8. Mr. Holt requests a photograph for the purpose of identification. Four of the eight wives, so far heard from, are disposed to make it interesting for the peripatetic bridegroom. The police here have promises from his wives in Cherokee, Io.; Elmira, N. Y., and Boston, Mass., besides Mrs. Purcell, to appear against him, but they doubt whether he can be tried here for bigamy.

Beri, Jan. 9.—The Reichstag next week will debate ‘the bill for the suppression of arunkenness. The Bundesrath has approved the measure as it was originated by Emperor William, only modifying the severity of pen- alties to be imposed upon offending public- house keepers. The Ministers, it is known, consider the proposals with disfavor and the members ofthe Bundesrath express doubts as to their practical value. However, the Emperor having set his heart upon trying the effect upon drinking of legislative § restric- tions has obtained from them a hesitating as- Sent. The fate ofthe measure in the Reich- Stag is doubtful. The Conservatives aud Na- tional Liberals will support the bill while Freisinnige and Socialist parties will op- pose it, mainly because its provisions will in- Vest the police authorities with exceptional powers of interference in the private life of citizens. The clause in the measure which has Caused the most widespread objection em- powers the officials to prosecute all persons Genounced to them as habitual drunkards and to cause them to be imprisoned until they shall have obtained a medical certifi- Cate stating that they have been cured of the liquor habit. Their property also may be Seized and applied to the support of thelr families and of them- selves during their imprisonment. The bill alls so entirely to define what proof will be sufficient to warrant the arrest and seques- tration of a person denounced asa habitual dru as to enable malicious or prejudiced ee pas free scope. The measure, if it esa law, will inevitably give rise to a host of malic! informers and blackgnallers who will contiffually busy themselves in lay- ing traps for the keepers of places of public resort. and will always stand in readiness to last the reputations of private individuals. No public enthusiasm is shcwn in support of the proposals. On the contrary the pre- valling opinion seems to be that the bill will never operate successfully in any large sec- tion of the empire. When the bill was be- fore the Bundesrath Chancellor Lanemann of Bavaria induced that body to discriminate betweed the various forms of drunkenness. It was found practically impossible, how- ever, to classify adarinkers of comparatively harmless beer and wine apart from the Arunkards who are poisoning themselves with potate spirits. > Prosecutions under the bill will follow when two witnesses of the offense shall denounce the culprit, and should the measure ever come into active operation inthis city there will be a mighty swarm of convictions. The center party is divided uponthe question of the wisdom of the measure, the majority leaning towards the bill as moral legislation Approved by the Vatican. The result de- pends upon the centrists, and, therefore, th Dillislikely to pass. a The Emperor will open the Landtag in per- gon on Thursday next. It is expected that the speech from the throné on that occasion will contain declarations in relation to the internal and foreign policies of the Govern- ment. STRIKING PRINTERS. THE CONTEST STILL ON IN GERMAN CITIES—HERR BEBEL’S ADDRESS. BERLIN, Jan. 9.—The strike of printers is still partly on in Berlin, Leipsic, Frankfort and Munich. The strike leaders state that 10,000 men are still out and that the 14,000 men at work are contributing to the fund for the support of the strikers. The leaders also Claim that if assisted from abroad the men will be able to hold out until their movement is crowned with success. „A number of master printers in this city have conceded the demands of the men, and ,400 of the strikers have been enabled to re- „turn to work. Ihe condition of the strikers in Berlin is nopeful, but the men in Munich, Munster, Leipsic and Stuttgart, where there: immediate return work are suffering greatly. Public meet- ings have been held in every provincial center for the purpose of expressing approv- al of the movement, but material support fails. it the men had not associated their cause with socialism, popular aid would have Deen more readily secured. As matters now stand, unless further foreign heip is received, the movement will inevitably collapse.

A WITNESS FORCED TO TESTIFY FALSELY BY THE POLICE. — The Startling Confession Made by Edward W. Campbell, the Principal Witness Against Sidney Bell, Convicted of the Murder of Sam Jacobson in San Fran- cisco—Crimipal Calendar. Curcaco, III., Jan. 9.,—Edward W. Camp- bell, who was the principal witness against Sidney Bell, who was convicted in San Francisco last summer of the murder of Sam Jacobson, a somewhat noted man about town, and sentenced to death to-day, made a full confession to the effect that he was forced to testify falsely by the police author- ities and that the real murderer was one Henry Swartz, whom he saw escaping from the house a moment after the shot was fired. The confession, which covers nearly twenty pages of type-written manuscript, goes into full details of the alleged con- spiracy against Bell and says that another witness named schmidt, who was under indictment for burglary, and committed sul- cide shortly after testifying against Bell, did so because the police had failed to ro- lease him as the agreed price for his cap- ture. According to Campbell’s statement, Jacobson came home to find bis sister in the company of Swartz. A melee ensued in which Jacobson was shot. This was the opinion largely entertained in San Francisco at the time of the tragedy. Bell isa native of Columbus, O., and served several years inthe United States navy, be- ing discharged witha high record. The con- fession was at once telegraphed to San Fran- ciso, anda dispatch to-night says that it has set the town wild. NOW WEARING STRIPES. BILLY M’GLORY, THE DIVE KEEPER, SENT TO BLACKWELL’S ISLAND. New Tonk, Jan. 9.—The dives are in mourning to-night. The King ofthe Keep- ers’’ has gone to Blackwell's Island. Billy McGlory is now wearing stripes. A few minutes after ten o'clock a Keeper to-day at the Tombs called out: **Prisoners for the Island, get ready.’’ The Black Maria was waiting out- side. McGlory was neatly dressed in dark clothes and a black derby, and he also wore dark brown kid gloves. He had been chip- peruptothen, hopingfor a gtay. He was handcuffed to a young lad sent up for larceny. Dong, dong, a big bellin the yard rang out or wet A and the driver ofthe van yelled out: **Getin!’’ One ofthe first to obey the com- mand was McGlory, who dragged his com- pa nion in after Lim. Two women were given laces in the front seat with the river and with another loud “ringing of the yard bell, the wide gates were thrown open. Ihen, witha heavy lurch the prison van left the yard, ana ‘‘Billy’’ McGlory had started to take up his residence on Black well’s Island. McGlory’s sentence 0 a term of one year in the penitentiary and fine of $300 was scarcely less palatable than Recorder Smythe’s roasting of the sleek, well-dressed dive king in pronouncing sentence yesterday. The Recorder snapped out severely: Everybody who has lived in this city, as I have, fora number of years must know your character has been infamous end that pos have kept the most infamous resorts that ave ever disgraced thiscijy. There is only one thing in your favor—you did not go upon the witness stand and commit perjury as some defendants do. I willtake that fact— and it is the only fact I will take—into con- sideration in passing sentence upon you.’’ THE QUACKENBUSH TRAGEDY. LITTLE HOPE OF THE UNFORTUNATE WIFE'S RECOVERY. New York, Jan. 9.—Mrs. Charles S. Quack- enbush, who was shot by her husband, who then killed kimself, in their five-room fiat at No. 15 Warren street, Newark, last night, is still alive at St. Michael’s Hospital. After the shooting she was removed to the hospital. Her husband’s bullet entered her head at the back of the left ear and lodged in the Drain. \As the bullet is in her brain,there seems to be but little hope of her recovery, but a consultation willbe held to-day. She has been unable to make any statement. The family consists of Quackenbush, his wife and three children. r formerly re- sided in Albany, where he led a life or leisure, having inherited money from his father, who wasa weaithy man and formerly Mayor of Albany. He was addicted to drink, and when under the influence of liquor was ugly, quarrelsome and wicked. On more than one occasion he threatened to kill bis wife, and on one occasion was pre- vented from running asabre through her. While out on bail 2 trial Quackenbush went to Montreal, taking his eldest daughter, Maggie, with him. Then he began writing his wife, telling herto send the children and their clothing to Montreal. In each letter he cau- tioned his wife not to come herself, or he would fix her H she did. She became much alarmed, and went to see Prosecutor Crane, who ordered the police to look out for Quack- enbush’s retarn. Quackenbush reached home unexpectedly at 8 o'clock last night. He bad been drinking. As soon as he entered he be- gan abusing his wife because she had not sent him the clothing and children. A few moments later there was a scuffle in the rooms and three shots were heard. Quackenbush had $756 in bills, a bond and mortgage for $6,500, and a lot of other valuable pers when found. It is believed that he intended to give this money to Law. er McDermott to make up the $7,000 intended or his wife’s support. It is aiso inferred from this that the shooting was not premedi- tated. He was prominently identified with ee Grand Army of the Republic post in Al- SHOT IN THE BACK. A DESPERADO’S ATTEMPT’ TO ESCAPE FROM A JAIL GUARD.

Anderson, the Dane whois now in jail here charged with having roboed and abandoned Mrs. Purcell of St. Louis after having committed bigamy by marrying her, is developing into a wandering rival of Brigham Young. Wife No. 8 was heard from dy the police to-day. Rer. L. F. Holt of Upper Alton, III., writing for the woman, states that on July 31, 1888, he officiated as clergymanatthe marriage of a man who ave his name as Luther H. Meade or Lewis Meade to Miss Nancy E. Can- feldin Madison, Wis. About three weeks after the marriage Meade abandoned his wife, borrowing all the money hecould from her with the announced intention of going to Gallup, N. M. Rev. Mr. Holt says the vil- lainous actions of Meade correspond so closely to Anderson’s methods that he is inclined to believe that Meade, Madison and Anderson are one and the same person, and that Mrs. Oanfield Meade is another of the slick Dane’s Gupes. The statement that one of Mrs. Maul- son’s letters was signed L. H. Meade is the clue Mr. Holt depends upon, and the police ere believe Mrs. Canfield Meade is Wife No. 8. Mr. Holt requests a photograph for the purpose of identification. Four of the eight wives, so far heard from, are disposed to make it interesting for the peripatetic bridegroom. The police here have promises from his wives in Cherokee, Io.; Elmira, N. Y., and Boston, Mass., besides Mrs. Purcell, to appear against him, but they doubt whether he can be tried here for bigamy.

In Addition to the Poisoning of His Family His Horses Have Died ina Sudden and Unaccountable Manner, and He Is In- clined to Believe That Soms Enemy Is Secking Revenge—The Zeifle Case Re- called. mysteries of the famous Zelfle insur- ud ease have been recalled within the past few days by another mystery which at present is almost as puzzling as the original one. It will be remembered that some years 2 present mystery involves David Gold- and he himself is at a loss for a definite The ance fra berg explanation. coldberg was a co-defendant in the insur- ance fraud, and it was supposed that he gave evidence tothe State in the case in which nobert Terry was convicted. rom time to time in the last three months Goldberg's norses which he used in his delivery wagons have been dying in a mysterious manner, supposably from prison. He has lost eight of them, the last one going about two months ago. This was about Nov. 10, just before Goldberg made an assignmentand took up his bus! ness in East St. Louis, where he now is. The horse on Monday refused to eat and on wednesday was dead. Poison was supposed to have been the cause of the horse’s death and, taken in conjunction with all the other similar cases, it was concinded that the poisoning was done byjsome one who hore a grudge against Goldberg. No close in- vestigation was made but Goldberg had his suspicions, which he did not make generally known. Rightinthe wake of the supposed poisoning of the horses comes another mys- tery, several of Goldberg’s family are taken 1. This was about two weeks and a half ago. The mother and two children were made very sick and a doctor was sent for. He was asked if it was grip but said he was sure that it wa not but that some poisonous substance had been administered. The lliness was but slight, however, and was forgotten until last Sun- day. whenastill greater number of people were made ill by eating cake made from the same four as was used in the bread at the time of the first iliness, All the family, in- cluding Goldberg himself, ate of the cake. His wifeand the children, Maggie. David, Jr., and Arthur. His sister-in-law, Lizzie lioolan, and herchildren, however, Charlie and John, a friend, Charles Brown, and a young girl named Phoebe Collins, who lives in the house with the Gold- berg family, all partook of it. Shortly after eating the cake they were all taken violently fiiwith vomiting and pains in the stomach. Mrs. Hoolan was taken sick, and so were her children. She had carried some of her cake home to the boys, and during the whole night they thought they were goingto die. Atthe Goldberg house the same staie of affairs ex- isted, and they were all very sick. Someof the Goldberg family are still suffering from the effects. Dr. Chancellor was called on and examined the kitchen utenstis but could not ascertain positively whether there was any - in them or not. No analysis of the flour was made but Goldberg suspects that it was in the flour that the poison was put. These are about the conditions of the case to day. No certainty exists as towho put the polson in the flour if it is there, and Mr. Goldberg, while he suspects a person who frequently came to the store, will not charge this per- son with it until he can secure further infor mation and facts. GOLDBERG'S STORY. Mr. Goldberg was seen at his home, 1222 Blair avenue, where he was lying on a sofa very ili with the fag end ofa case of grip. He said in reply toa question: Exer since the Zeifie case I have been having horses poisoned and lost the last one about the time | went out of business here. That was, as near as I can recollect, the l0thof Novem- ber. The horse was taken sick on Sunday and on Wednesday he was dead. Men were your family first taken 11?“ About two weeks anda half ago three of them were quite sick and I sentfor a doctor and asked him if he thought it was grip, but be said it was not. nen was the second attack?“ Last Sunday, we had quite a party of people here and they all took some cake. hat night they were all very sick. I sent for Ur. Chancellor and he looked at some of the Kitchen things and the coffee pot. He was not sure about there being poison in the cofee pot, but thought perhaps there might have been. My sister-in-law took some of the cake home to her chHaren and they were iso taken sick, so itis certain that it was in the Fake. Did you have the flour examined? No, 1 did not, and I did not want to pay $80 for an analysis when I could not prove who put the poison there it it was found.“ sy you examine the horse’s feed?’’ 17.0 you any idea who might have done 5 Yes, There was a man who was seen poming out of my stable,and my friend aries Brown was at the store while I was away, he had also some suspicions but would not venture any assertions.’’ Do you think the Our, too?“ es, that! 80 positively.“ r you done anything in the mats same person fixed the my idea, but I would not say oo na ve hada couple of detectives on use, 4 1 then volunteered a statement — s this cage into clo with the Zufle affair. se connection . had insurance on my life and some on — — *, andthe insurance people waited wor) 8 { hancellor and told him that they — — the policies on me and my wife, — uld not tell me the reasons he at yOu Suspect that it was because of they a mm on with the Zeile case that * Y 5 ls vess that is the reason, but they tem ¢ vet, and I shall insist on their contin- „Meere my assessments.“ 8 3 ere the people made sick by eating ad ° My wile, my daughter Lizzie, and my — „avid, Jr., and Arthur; Mrs, Lizzie 1.

Not long ago officials of one of the companies came to me and asked me if I considered the Goldbergs, Fin- nigans and Hollerans good risks. I told them that just at present I did not think they were, having in mind the unaccountable poisonings. I/ do not know what action, if any, the company took. | THE ZIEFLE CASE. The story of the Ziefie case, in which sev- eral persons were indicted, and to which Goldberg charges his present troubles, is as follows: In March, 1888, a bold conspiracy was laid by Robert Terry; Sr., and five others to swindié George W Council of the United States B. Fraternity out Of $6,000. Terry, Who has en convicted tor his part in the attempted swindle, got a man to —— the Council unger the name of Charles lelle. Terry was President of the Council at the time and proposed Ziefie’s name. Ten days later he made the announcement in the Council that Ziene had died of pneumonia. The body was buried in Picker’s cemetery. The policy issued to the bogus Ziefie was made payable toa woman in the case who claimed to be Ziefle’s sister. She was in- cluded in the batch of indictments returned later. The discovery of the conspiracy was made before any money was d. It was revealed by the inquiry of Mrs. Smith the married sister of the real Ziefie. Her brother had been taken out of the City Hospital ina dying condition and removed to the house dot one of Terry’s confederates. She was indignant and suspicious and decided to make a thor- ough investigation. She found that her brother’s body had been disguised in a false wig and a dyed moustache to make his * rese le the man who impersonated him. All the details of the donspiracy were dually unravelled and indictments rendered against Robert Terry, Dr. Joseph Whittaker, David Goldberg, Annie Goldbérg Hertz, August Kuescher and Adolph Weber. The last named was charged with having impersonated Ziefie. A few months after the indictments were returned Kuescher committed suicide by hanging himself. Terry, the only one tried thus far was tried and convicted and sentenced tothe peniten- tiary for two anda half years. He took on appeal and his case is now awalting the dis- position of the Supreme Court. He, as well as the others, are outon bond. The investi- wation snoWed that the real Ziefle knew nothing of the plansof Terry and regarded Terry’s interest in him as an evidence of friendship and sympathy for a sick man. THE BRICEVILLE MINE TROUBLES. Reported Agreement Between the Miners and the Bosses. NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 9.—It is rumored about that an agreement has been made be- tween the miners and the convict bosses, whereby the bosses will the convicts only at Coal Oreek, leaving the Bricevilie mines to be operated by free labor. Gen. Norman, on being asked as to the truth of the rumor, neither denied nor confirmed it. If this is true the troubles with the miners are at an end, and the soldiers will be withdrawn from the mines. Tennessee will be cleared from a cut throat mob. It Is rumored that Eugene Morrill, the leader of the miners has absconded with about $1,000 which he had collected to buy arms with, ENGLISH MINERS’ CONFERENCE.

The Agenda contains a large num ber of resolations, more particularly the eight hour question. The Derbyshire and Lancashire miners have persons soliciting the support of other trades to help the miners to secure a legal eight hour day. Derbyshire has also given notice of reason of holding ublic meetings at the collieries im avor of eight hours, and more serious resolution favoring an international strike to secure an eight- hours work day, in event of an eight-hour bill not — — — next session of Parliament.

There are also resolutions dealing with em ployers’ liability for small coal—a frequent cause of dispute—the yment of returning officers’ fees for miners’ candidates and other important questions affecting the min- ing industry. CONSOLIDATED ROAD ENGINEERS. New Haven, Conn., Jan. 9.—The Brother- hood of Engineers will decide at a meeting to-morrow what action shall be taken in the matter of the dispute between the Consoll- dated road and its employes.* The officials of the Brotherhood held a conference to-day, but no attempt at a settlement of the dim- culty was made. Chief Arthur said toa re- porter this evening that he thought the order would only resort toa strike as a last meas- ure, THE BOX FACTORY STRIKE. Cuicaco, III., Jan. 9.—The strike at the Tegmyer Bex Co., which was brought about by the discharge of twelve men, several days ago, on the alleged ground of incompetency, threatens to become neral.

IRMAN BLOUNT TO CALL UP THE TABLED RESOLUTION. An Amendment to Authorize the Use of a Government Vessel—Three Ladies Who are Prominent Factors in Mis- souri Affairs—Meetings of House Com- mittees—Negotiations With Chill. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—Representa- tive Blount, Chairman of the House Commit tee on Foreign Affairs, has promised to make another attempt to get up the resolution autnorizing the Secretary of the Navy to ag the provisions contributed in aid’ of the starving Russians in a Government boat. The resolution is lying on the table with the motion to reconsider the vote pending. Mr. Blount’s decision has been arrived at after a consultation with Representative Babbitt of Wisconsin who has drafted an amendment which strixes Mr. Ezount's fancy and which he has agreed to accept. The amendment is as follows: Provided that said contribntions of food be de- livered and receipt taken therefor at the nearest available port of entry to the suffering people of Russia and to be subject to the order of distribution dy the Sisters of the Red Cross Society. This amendment, in the event of the pas- sage of the resolution, win ensure the transportation ofthe provisions tothe port nearest the famine-stricken Russians, rather thantoa port to de selected by Russian officials. The distribution being in the hands of the Red Cross Society will result in a fair division of everything among the sufferers without regard to religious sect and will secure to the starv- ing Hebrews as much consideration as is shown the more favored subjects of Russia. Mr. Blount said to-day that he favored the passage of the resolution if it could first De referred to a committee of the House and a careful investigation made as to the method of transportation, the destination and the facilities for distribution. HOUSE COMMITTEE, THE CHICAGO PUBLIC BUILDING BILL—RIVERS AND HARBORS. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—The Chicago public bullding bill will be referred to Messrs. Newberry of Illinois, Tarsney of Missouri and Sweet ofIdaho as a sub-committee of the House Committe on Public Buildings and Grounds. This is the largest bill, as respects the amount of appropriation carried before the Public Buildings Committee. The work of each sub-committee is subject to revision by a Revisory Committee, consisting of the Chairmen of the several sub-com- mittees and finally by the full committee. The Bullding Committee met this morning but nothing of yo Ete ore was done beyon the designation of sub-committees. Chair- man Bankhead said it was absolutely neces- sary that the committee should be conserva- tive, in view of the state of the Government’s revenues and expenditures. The House Committee on Rivers and Har- bors effected an organization to-day. There has been some informal discussion among the members with reference tothe policy to be pursued by the committee in the matter of river and harbor improvements. Noconclu- sion has been reached, but there seems to be a feeling that little or no new work will be authorized. Existing uncompleted projects will be kept up by an appropriation to con- duct the work, but the total amount of ap- ropriations recommended by the committee hany bill it may frame will be materially less than the appropriations. Representative Geo. D. Wise of Virginia called the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce to order this morn- ine: He read a letter from Representative Mills, the Chairman, stating he would be absent fromthe city forsome time and re- questing Mr. Wiseto act as Chairman. An Organization of the committee was effected. r. Whiting, of Michigan, has been asked by his chairman, Mr. Springer, of the Ways and Means committee, to thoroughly investi- te the salt industry and report his findings o the committee as speedily as possible. Mr. Whiting is largely interested in the salt industry, bit believes that the present tariff on the article is oppressive. DEPARTMENT MATTERS, THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHILI—SECRETARY BLAINE ATTENDING BUSINESS. WASHINGTON, Dec., Jan. 9.—It can be au- thoritatively stated that Chili has not sub- mitted an apology to the United States in the Baltimore incident. The negotiations now in progress are being conducted by Secretary Blaine and Minister Montt, and it is believed they will ultimately be adjustea satisfactorily, but they have not reached that point where Chilihas thought it proper to apologize. inquiries for news from Chili the State Depart- ment developed negative replies, as did requests for information concerning the story published to-day, to the effect that an expedition is being fitted out in the United States to goto Hayti to make an effort to overthrow the present Government. Secretary Blaine spent the forenoon at hig residence transacting routine business of the State Department. In the afternoon he went to the department and remained for a couple of hours. The Secretary has com- letely recovered from his recent attack of ndigestion. The Pension Office has issued a statement that for the six months ended December, 1,151,851 cases were allowed, the first pay- ments on which aggregated $20,897,379; with an average payment of $184.30. For the month of. December there were 16,423 cases allowed, with a first payment averaging at 150.99. Secretary Foster left for Fortress Monroe to-night.

While Nealous held his hands head and protested that nothing the unknown reached into Nealous’ pocket and stole a 85 bill. He then jumped off the car and dis- appeared up the street. Nealous tried to find an officer but did not succeed, and after leaving his complaint at the Chestnut street Police Station, he went home. At about 9 o’clock Charles Fossig, living at 1116 Oar street, was held up in his back yard by a negro who held a revolver to his head and demanded his money.

The Lucky Young Chicagoan Vanquished at Last. Nicge, Jan. 9.—Lucky young Rosenfeld of Chicago has been vanquished. Up to Monday last he was a winner of 980,000 francs, but beginning with that day he met with a succession of losses, dropping several thousand francs regularly every evening, and last night he was just about even. Charles Hannam, the Bradford man, who started in by losing £3,000, has kept up the pace he set at the out- set, and to-day is 25,000 to the bad. He has been playing at a plunging game, touching the maximum of 12,000 francs for each coup. The winnings cf the bank may be apprecigted when it is said that at the beginning of the season 500 franc shares in this institution were quoted at 1,900 francs, while r (Saturday) they stand at 2,300 francs and the rooms in full swing. It is a significant fact thatthe Prince of Monaco is buying up all the Casino shares he can get hold of, probably with the purpose of securing the Fe influence in its management. t is surmised that he aims at the suppression of the gambling concession before its term expires in 1918 this year, but in doing this he will come into direct conflict with some of the most influential French families and French influence, that wtll make it a very dificult undertaking in which to suc- ceed. The French Government knows per- fectly well that if Monte Carlo is closed the Riviera will not have one-tenth the number of visitors now attracted there. It is said the Prince is influenced in his action by i his wife, for- merly the Duchess of Richelieu, nee Heine, She is enormously rich, and could buy up the Casino entirely if they would let her, and she is anxious to rid herself of the slur ot keeping gaming tabies, which isso often thrown at her in the Paris salons.

Washington Officials Chafing Over the ; Course Pursued, THE LITTLE REPUBLIC HAS MADE NO APOLOGY. And Does Not Seem Likely to Offer Repa- ration for the Valparaiso Mob’s Work —Imprisoning Chilians Does Not Meet the Demand-The Investigation at San Francisco, | . WasHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—There seems to be a disposition growing on the part of government officials to chafe at the course that is being pursued by Chili in the present controversy. Various documents presented to the State Department from time to time. would seem to out- wardly indicate that Chili was making all the judicial headway possible in investi- gating the Valparaiso riot. But the demand of the United States for an apology and in demnity has never been mentioned. The conviction and punishment of a few Chilians will not meet the requirements of this Gov- ernment unless regret is expressed and re- paration rendered. An official of the State department in dis- cussing this matter to-day said: Chili can in- diet all the men sbe wants. She can hang half of her population if she desires. Yet she will be far from satisfying the demands of the United States. She may hold trials from now until doomsday and keep her executioner busy night and day, but until she tells this Government that she apologizes for what has occurred she has made no rep- aration. The United States is not con- cerned in Chili’s domestic legal policy ner in the outcome of the riot except so far as the original demand is concerned. To be sure, itis very courteous and polite in that government to keep us so well informed about the progress of the legal steps being taken in Valparaiso, yet the whole case is drifting uncomfortably tow- ard a condition that savors of c¢rumb- throwing. This view, in my opinion, is strengthened by the frequent use in these dispatches of such phrases as a ‘deplorable incident’ and ‘un- fortunate affair,’ that form a vivid back ground of apparent regreton the part of the Chilian Government. The vulgar vernacu- lar would suggest the word bluff? with un- pleasant emphasis.’’ Senor Montt very properly declines to be interviewed upon this question. He believes, however, that a speedy trial will follow the indictments found,and that the resuit should be Known within two weeks. THE BATIMORE’S MEN. INVESTIGATING THE ATTACK OF THE VALPA- RAISO MOB, SAN FRANCISCO, Jan, 9.—This was the third day's investigation at Mare’s Island of the Chillan assault on the sSallors of the cruiser Baltimore. Three witnesses corroborated the killing of Riggin. James Stewart, a fireman, testified that when his boat was on the way to the shore they passed near to the Esmeralda. He said: »The mon on the ship were running along her sides shaking their fists and Knives at us out of rear ports. Wethen feared that there would be trouble.“ Owen Canning, coal heaver, testified that he heard that a Baltimore man had been shot, and he went to the scene. He wit- nessed the attack on Davison, and was him- self mobbed. He got away and disguised himself and went to a and found Turnbull lying bieeding and half naked on the floor. His back was cut all to pleces witn Knives. He was still conscious, but no one was doing anything for him. ' THE WORLD’S FAIR. Fully $30,000,000 Will Be Spent to Make It a Success. CHICAGO, III., Jan. 9.—The Department of Publicity and Promotion of the World’s Fair has issued a statement showing the scope of the work in hand. It reveals the following facts: Thirty-nine nations, and twenty-four colonies have made or finally proposed appropriations for their exhibits amounting in the aggregate to $4,000,565, and the indica- tions are that at the lowest estimate this will be increased to $5,000,000. The States and Territories of the Union have appropri- ated $2,695,000, which will be largely increased. In nine States, where for constitutional rea- sons no appropriations have been made, or- ganizations o citizens are raising $1,080,000, The agyregate of the States is expected to reach $5,000,000. The United States Govern- ment has appropriated $1,500,000. The Exposition Co. as raised $5, 721,230. Chicago has given a $5,000,000 loan and the Government will be asked to lend or aperoessats an equal amount. The cost to the Exposition Co. of constructing and holding the re wy is estimated at $18,500,000, of which $8,000,000 Is put into the generai depa building alone, exclusive National and State building ofall sorts.

The company has paid out to date $2,770,79% aad the current expenditures are about $1,000,000 per month. The aggregate amount to be spent on the Fair by the Exposition Co., the various States and foreign nations and the Federal Government is approximately $30,000,000. QUAY’S RESOLUTION. An Alleged Scheme to Acquire Valuable Mexican Lands. Prrrs gun, Pa., Jan. 9.—The following story appears in a South Pittsburg weekly to-dap: ‘The resolutions which Quay has introduced in the United States Senate directed toward acquirement of portions of Mexico by the United States, has com- pletely mystified newspaper correspondents, as well as stirred up the administration and aroused the ire of the Mexican Government. What the Senator’s object is, if not to em- barrass the Harrison administration, has thrown a great cloud of mystery over the transaction and makesthe speech which he promises to make in the Senate the object of much curiosity.’’ It remains for this sheet, through the in- instrumentality of a South * gaged | manu- factory. to explain the ey lit isa big one with millions in it. scheme back of the effort to 8 of th voment with his full weight on hen picked up and carried to Dr. Fries’ office he was found to be only slightly on the forehead and left side of his face.

Deserted by Her Betrothed on the Wed: ding Day. SHAMOKIN, Pa., Jan. 9.—A young and hand- some woman, stylishly dressed, remained in a Lehigh Valley coach this morning after the passengers had left. When a brakeman ap- proached she asked him to iead her out, as she had become blind while on the train between Mauch Chunk and this place. A physician examined her and found her sight destroyed by exhaustion. She told a sad story. She met and loved John Hamp- ton, a young farmer living a few miles dis- tant. This was four years ago. He was poor, and as she was a seamstress neither had $200 when they sealed their vows of love with a kiss. He told her he would marry her as soon as he had $1,000. Three bg went by. Finally the time was set for he wedding to take place. Two months be- fore the Sppctated ate Hampton began to drink.

Two St. Louis Artillerymen Tried on a Serious Military Charge. A ‘**garrison court-martial’? was held at the First Regiment Armory Wednesday night, the result of which is as yet unknown, and which is just now the chief topic of discussion in militia circles. The court-martial was held in the quarters of Battery A and was opened by Capt, F. M. Rumbold, the prisoners appearing be- fore it being Privates Patrick and O’ Bannon ofthatcommand. They were charged with disobedience of orders in failing to report for the annual inspection and muster held at the Armory under Maj. John B. O’Meara on Dec. 16 last. The court-martial was composed of the following officers of Battery A: Lieut. J. Lucas Johnson. President, and First Sergt. Louis D. Lawnin and Sergt. Honore P. Wilkinson. Lieut. Fred W. Blelock was the Judge Advocate. The proceedings of the court-martial were conducted with due military sol- emnity, the officers, witnesses and prisoners all appearing in full uniform as prescribed by army regulations. The trialwas secret, and the evidence will be made public only from the. report of the court-matial to acting Brig.-Gen, Chas. D. Com- fort, the report not having yet been made. The finding of the Court can either recommend dishonorable discharge or reprimand, as the evidence may warrant. Two other members of the same command are to be tried on the same charge, the Court sitting again next Saturday night. The Adjutant-General has not acted on the case of Company H, the Ca- rondelet Guards, which refused in a body to report for the inspection and muster. Capt. Cunningham, the Regimental Adjutant, ad- dressed a letter to the Captain oi Company H, a week ago, asking for an explanation of such disobedience of general orders, but has as yet received no reply. A MASSACRE IMMINENT. Cheyenne Indians Armed and Defiant. Sr. PauL, Minn., Jan. 9.—To-night’s dis- patches from Miles City and Fort Keogh, Mont., indicate an attempted massacre in that vicinity in the next forty-eight hours by the Cheyenne Indians. Brigadier Gen. Merritt, commanding the Department of Dakota, telegraphed from here this after- noon to Gov. Toole at Helena that the situa- tion was serious. Later it was learned that Gov. Toole had gone to Washington and that Lieut. Rickards was on his way to California. The seat of the trouble is on Tongue River, about twelve miles south of Ft, Keogh. A stockman accused a Chey- enne Indian of killing cattle belonging to a citizen, and the request was made for his arrest. The Indian police refused to make the arrest, because the Cheyennes acted ina threatening manner, peremptorily refusing toletthe accused go. The stockman then appealed to the civil authorities and Sheriff Jones of Custer County, declares he will make the arrest if it takes the whole population of his county as a posse. The Reds are armed and awaiting the attack, which will be made to-morrow. Troublesome NO TROUBLE AT PINE RIDGE. WasSHINGTON, D.

So says England, and Eng- land’s say in this matter is likely to be de- cisive. And it goes without saying that ABBAS will be as much of an English tool as TEWFIK has been. Such, in fewest words, is the present Egyptian situation; to which France and the rest ef the European powers might just as well adjust themselves as speedily and easily as possible. This situatio& is simply the logical and inevitable result of events that have gone beforé. When France, in a most unaccountable fit of stupidity, re- fused to join England in suppressing the rebellion of ARABI, and thereby securing for herself a share in the joint occupation of the country, she was like ‘‘the base Judean who flung a pearl away richer than all his tribe.“ England promptly as- sumed the sole and exclusive re- sponsibility of the necessary naval and military operations; wiped out ARABI, braced up TEWFIK, and became as much, in actual fact, the mistress of Egypt as she is the mistress of India. Of course the English Government and leading English journals solemnly declared there was no intention or desire to permanently occupy Egypt; only a temporary occupation, purely for the good of the Egyptians, which would end just as soon as the Egyp- tians were in condition to properly govern themselves. That time has not yet come, and never will come. In other words, when England went to Egypt she went to stay. The oc- cupation is n; temporary, but permanent —and was so intended from the first. En- gland cares no more for the Egyptians than she does for the population of purga- least as long as she has a man ora musket with which to hold her grip on the Old Land ofthe Pharaohs and the Pyramids. If France has any doubts on this point, let France try, by peaceable or forcible means, to get England out of Egypt. THE moving story, toldin another col- umn, of poor LAURA Frrrs' unpunished betrayal and unavenged death is illus- trated, or rather darkened, by two pict- ures which might sipply a text for any pulpit of our city to-day. The one shows the heartlessly dashing woman who, when first arrested, clogged the wheels of jus- tice in the Coroner’s office until they were once more set in motion by the Post- DisPaAtcH. She and her male co-defend- ant are prospering deflantly and are pow- erful enough to stay justice and put off promised punishment.. The other is a wrecked home, a heartbroken father and mother unhoused by pressing necessities and in the background the grave of poor LAURA Frrrs, the victim of man’s lust and woman’s cruel avarice, covered by the snow of a second winter. What partial justice! os THERE is a funny little crank in Boston Called IvAN PANIN. That may or may not be his name. He won some renown a few years ago by publishing a volume of proverbs or so-called pithy sayings which were noted for their want of pith. Afterward he tried to es- tablish a Tolstoi cult in the city of ideas, but the Kreutzer Sonata’’ spoiled it. He now clamors for attention in a book entitled The Structure of the Bible.“ In this he demon- strates the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures by orithmetical laws. According to IVAN all the various sections of the Bible, speeches, parables, verses, chapters and books contain each a certain number of words, which num- ber has always a definite relation to certain other numbers. This relation IVAN has dis- covered and he proclaims his law, as he calls it. The verbal inspiration oi the Bible is thus demonstrated. Itis only a question ofarithmetic. But he goes farther. He has discovered some secular laws, as thus: Mozart was born in 1760; 1760 is ‘‘the combin- ation ofthe first square and the first cube with eleven taken five times. Or numerically expressed (2X2)x(2x2x2x11)x5. This is clear as crystal. He tells us that other laws will yet be discovered which will explain facts not covered by this one. The reader may find out for himself what facts are covered by his Mozart puzzle. - = —_— — WuHewn Desperado MARTINEZ was put to death under sentence in Mexico the other day he tried to stab the chief of police, was chased by the squad of soldiers ordered to shoot him, and there was a general free fight before the condemned man made up his mind to die. Then he was riddled with bullets, and sev- eral additional shots were fired into him to make sure. A Mexican execution must be almost as enjoyable as a bull fight. NOVELIST DR MAUPASSANT’S lunacy should not interfere with his fiction writing. His physician says that he has been crazy for two years, and his admirers have regarded it merely as a wonderful development of his genius, Inthe modern novel, especially of the French analytical kind, there are no lim- itations on the eccentricities of genius, and a little twist in the intellect is desirable.

The first was declared on Sept. 25, 1792, on motion of Collat D’Herbors, It lasted until 1804, when Napoleon became emperor. The second republic dates from the flight of Louis Phillippe on Feb. 6, 1848. This endured, in name at least, until Dec. 2, 1852, when Napo- leon III. ascended the imperialthrone. The third republic dates from September, 1870, when the capture of the emperor by the Ger- mans at Sedan caused his deposition and the Overthrow of the second empire.

Will you please tell us the principle of the barome- ter and settle dispute? TwoO SUBSCRIBERS. The principle of the barometer is based on thé pressure of the atmosphere. Under or- dinary conditions at the sea level this is equal ) to thirty inches of mercury; ih other words the pressure of the atmosphere will raise a column of mercury to the height of thirty inches ina vaccuum, As the height above the sea level increases, the pressure of the atmosphere decreases, and therefore the mercury column in vacuo is lower. The barometer is the instrument most commonly used for measuring elevations. It is corrected for temperature and weather. In measuring the height of mountains more than one barometer is invariably used. I have been asked to allow my name to be used asa candidate for Congress, but do not live im the dis- trict.

M. de Laveleye, who died the other day, was madea Baron shortly before his death by Leopold, King of Belgium. In conferring the title the King explained that it was a re- ward for M. de Laveleye’s exalted services in the cause of humanity, whereat Europe smiled. Leopold likes to pose, but he does not deceive anybody. He isas muchof a sham as the Prince of Wales, whith is saying a great deal. Had he not been a King he would have figured malodorously in the Dilke case. As it was he appeared as the boon companion of sir Charles—incognito, of course. People who remember Mr. Stead’s „Maiden Tribute of Babylon’’ exposure will récall frequent mysterious references to ‘‘the Mmotaur. Who was the Minotaur?

The Austrian Public Prose- cutor cl®sed the little Methodist Chapel and forbade the pastor to hold services anywhere in the Capital. The ground was that the Methodists had denounced the mass as a blasphemous fable and dangerous deceit,’’ He held that such words constituted ‘‘an insult against one of the religions recognized by the State.’’ The words complained of however were taken by the Methodist from one of the Anglican articles of belief, the latter circulating in the English Prayer Book freely inthe Austro-Hungarian Empire. An appeal was lodged and it is believed that the authorities will restore the struggling sect to its privileges. = Carl schurs has long deen considered a unique figure in literature.

In his very interesting article on St. Louis, in the current number of the New England Magazine, Prof. Woodward says: Adelaide Nellson declared that she had seen every memorial of Humboldt of any consequence, public and private, in existence, and that this was decidedly the finest.“ Miss Neilson said what is ascribed to her, not about the Humboldt statue in Tower Grove Park, dut about its companion, the Shakspeare. She admired the former very much, and was particularly struck by the beauty of the mouth; but the high compll- ment which Prof. Woodward quotes was be- stowed upon bronze William, The incom parable Juliet'“ had as much artistic taste as dramatic ability, and did not deliver her verdict until she had studied the figure ana its accessories long and care- fully from every point of view. My own taste is, of course, far inferior to hers; but I have seen all, or nearly all, of the Shak- spearian monuments of any special value in America and England at least, and seen nothing which, in my opinion, equals the one Henry Shaw gave to St. Louis. He had some reason to feel before he died, and so expressed himself more than once, that the general public did not appreciate this rare and precious gift as a work of art, and thought itnot much better, perhaps, than the Bates horror in Forest Park. But the time is coming—if not already here—when our people will know what they have got and prize it accordingly. 0 In this connection the following incident may be interesting: While the Shakspeare statue was stjll unfinished, Mr. Shaw, through a mutual friend, asked a gentleman, of the city to suggesta motto for it. He at once gave the famous lin8 of Ben Jonson: He was not of an age, but for all time, and wrote it down on two different occasions in order to guard against the usual misquo- tation: He was not for an age, but for all time. The suggestion was accepted and forwarded to Munich, but somebody blun- dered somewhere, for when the statue ar- rived here, lo and behold, there upon the base was the misquotation. Mr. Shaw was obliged to have the ‘‘for’’ cut out anda piece of metal inserted bearing the proper word of. Close examination with a good eye will show the marks of this insertion. Unfortunately, the fine photographs of the statue taken in Munich could not be thus reec- stifled, so the one which Miss Neilson carried home with her did not have the noblest com- pliment ever paid to Shakspeare as his friend Ben Jonson wrote it.

GER- MAIN TO AUGUSTUS CHOUTEAU.” Manuel Lisa Disposes of His Property at ‘Creve Cour Lake Because of His Fear of Hostile Indians-—Some Historic Records. Imagine howling savages swarming on the borders of Creve Cœur Lake. On the spot where the young man and his best girl while away the moonlight hours and where the festive parties flee at the sight of a spider, less than a hundred years ago the inhabitants deserted their homes and fled to St. Louis, then twenty miles away, to seek from the scalping knife and toma- hawk of the unconventional red man. The picturesque spot which was abandoned by its owner because of the rude attention of the Indians is now Creve (our Lake, the syl- van pleasure resort of st. Loulsans. There may be a swing or a dancing platform on the very spot where this early settler bad his cabin, but the first white man who tried to live on the piece of land was forced to pack upand move in toward the settlement to preserve his scalp. His failure to make @ habitation was fittingly in keeping with the name of the place he was nearest to, Creve Coour or the Broken Heart, so named by a small band of monks who tried to establish a monastery there and failed. The piece of land was sold to Mr. Rovert Buckhannan, who would now spell it Buchanan, by Manuel Lisa, who got it from Benito Vasquez, who in turn obtained it from Mr. St. Armat, the gen- tleman who was chased by the Indians, The deed giving the first insight into this inter- esting bit of history was found in the Re- corder’s Office a few days ago, when the title tothe property was being examined. The document is interesting and reads as follows: THE DEED. 3 This deed made this ninth day of January, 1812, by and between Manuel Lisaand Polly Chaste wife of the one part, and Robert Buckhannan, all o the district ef St. Louis, in the Territory of isiana, of the other part, witneseth that the said Manu el Lisa and wife for and in consideration of $250 to them in hand paid by the said Buckhannan, the receipt whereof they do hereby acknowledge; have granted, bargainéd,sold,assigned and quit claim and by these presents do graut, bargain, sell. — and quitelaim unto the Buckhannan, his heirs and assigns, forever, all the right, title, interest and claim of them, the aforessid; Lisa and wife, unto the Benito, Vasquez to the said Manaeil Lisa, date the 5th day of February, 1806, being a claim de- rived under St. Armat, who, as mentioned in the said deed from asquez to was, ay pactatscion and under the authority of a Cruzat, late Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Leu aha in the year 1787, in possession of and al cultivated and improvod a tract of land at Creve Ceur, from which said tract of land the said Armat was some poate afterwards driven away and forced to by means of the savages and incursions of the Indians, and upon the death of said Armat the sald claim was sold and disposed of in ner as is mentioned in the with- in deed from the said Vasquez to said Lisa to have and to hold all and singular the right title and claim to said tract of land and premises as fully as the said Lisa could hold the same at his own risk and hazard to himself, his heirs and igns forever without any recourse 1 the said or his representatives should the title to the same/fail or be rejected or not confirmed by this Govern- ment of the United States for any damages or any part of the above consideration mentioned, pro- vided, however, and this deed is made upon this con- dition, that if the said Buckhanunan and James Irwin shail not do and complete all joiner and carpenter Work tothe brick house of th said Lisa according to tho contract bearing equal date here- with made by and between the said Buckhannau and Irwin on the one part and said Lisa of the other part and atthetime therein specified, or that the said Buckbannan sball pay o ssid Lisa, on or before first 0 July. 1813 the sum 0 $250, i legal thereon then this deed to be null and void; else to remain in full force and effect, signed, sealed, and de- livered the day and year above written in presence of—nute the words ‘‘fifty’’ in the seventh line and the words of the one part and said ! isa of the other part’’ in the forty-seventh line interlined before signed“ had this deed not been made the said Buck- hannan taking and receiving 298 the same. : eal). 0 WX.

Hudson was an applicant for the appointment. Among ot! ers, he asked Smith to use his Influence with Gov. a oy in his behalf. Smith refused, t as he wasa candidate for Gover nor he could not afford to favor Hudson for the Senatorship and thus antagonize the other candidates.

The fol- lowing telegram from Capt. Wm. D. Beach of the Eighteenth Infantry, in command at yort Ringgold, was received by Gen. David H. Stanley at Military Department head- quarters here to-day. “1 received information yesterday that Garza would meet twenty fveof his men at Laguna Soco, afty miles northeast of here in Hidaigo — 4 U een ton | forwarded at once by courier to ; Oo.

Capt. Francis H.

Diag governs the Mexican people with bis over-capricious law. His actual ad- ~istration is retained through the means ii and violence. The former he dis- tributes among his abettors in the same man- that bandits divide amongst them- ves the spoils of their victors, making use of the latter collectively as the only proper element for their conservation. Gen. Diaz and the greater part of the men who now form bis government were very poor before taking by assault the public offices. Now they own millions. Can a public official be honest when be becomes rich through un- worthy means in the public offices? Cana 1 vernment be honest which fears the censure of its acts and mugzgzies the independ- ent press, sending to za the writers or ban- ishing them from their country? Does the public power inspire comfidence when it assassinates the most lliustrious and prominent men of the country? Can a government be a progressive one which makes public improvement in order to steal from the National Treasury? Would this great American Nation tolerate a similar government twenty-four hours? I believe not. The worthy Mexicans will neither tolerate it. Ther are tired of so much tyranny and infamy and lam sure they will very soon overthrow the present Dictator. In the course of ninety days, more or less, the revolutionists will have taken the principal cities of the repub- lic—Matamoras, Montery, San Luis Potosi, Guanajuanto, Yucatan and Vera Crug. OatarinoGarza is not a bandit, Dut a patriot, who wishes for Mexiap real progress and felicity. Welove our country with the same fondness with which we love our mothers, and we believe we do not slander it when we tell the truth. To take the mask away from tyrants and not making any offense to our country: to incite a revolution and de- velop it in order to redeem a nation harassed and oppressed, isnotacrime.

Last July a number of the most 8 -spirited citizens 0 lans Trusty men were commanders in the several States. 7 gramme of the party included a reform of the constitution, @ general convention of the people to formulate their own laws; separa- tion of the church from the State, and laws which would arantee the lives and proper- ties of the citizens. A provisional Govern- ment was also arranged for and it was re- solved to adopt as the new party’s battie cry ‘The constitution of 1853.’ The Government killed one of the partici ts at the meeting. The matter was hushed up and nothing leak- ed out of official circles.’’ ate whoareat the head of this move- ment?“ The leaders in the movement are reputa- ble men, men in the clerical party, agnosties hidalguillos, merchants, men of great wealth and ofextreme poverty, journalists and workingmen, people in the cities and ople in the plains, men who earn their iving by * 272 the fields and men who work with their minds, in fact, all spheres of life are represented **How ts the success of the revolution to be accom plished?’’ Ihe first and main part of the programme was for Garza to raise such a disturbance in the Northern States of Mexico as to induce the natives to join him and cause an uprising there. Then the balance of the insurrec- tionists would rise in ali parts of Mexico ang. if possible, all march towards the capital. To quell the disturbances, Diaz would send out forces from the capital to put down thé re- volt. As this would naturally weaken the garrison at the capital, an outbreak would take place there and Diaz would be forced to fee or else be shot. The people would be called to a general convention, the constitu- tlon would modified anda liberal govern- ment instituted in place of the despotic rule of President Diaz. But Diaz does not draw worth a cent. He knows the purpose and plans of the insurgents, and will keep his capital full of troo upon which he can call at a moment’s notice. DIRECT FROM THE FRONT. WHAT ATRAVELING SALESMAN SAW ALONG THE RIO GRANDE. Mr. F. Woodburn, a traveling salesman for the Simmons Hardware Co., returned yester- day from the scene of the Garza revolu- tion“ on the Rio Grande. He was in Browns- ville, Rio Grande City, Pena, San Diegoand other Texas towns, and in Matamoras, San Miguel, Oamargo and other Mexican towns from which Garza’s little army was ro- cruited. reached Brownsville by steamer from Galveston, said Mr. Woodburn in speaking of his trip yesterday, ‘‘crossed the Rio Grande to Matamoras and there took a train for San Miguel, something over 100 miles northwest of Matamoras and a little off the river. There were Mexican troops at all the stations on the road and some of them ssed through train, evidently looking revolutionists, but they found none. At San Miguel I took a stage for Camargo, five miles away and there crossed the river to Rio Grande City, where Fort Ringold is lo- cated. From here 1 staged it 100 miles to Pena, whichis on the railroad running to Corpus Christi. It was from Fort Ringold that Capt. Burke and some sixty United States soldiers sallied forth one evening a few weeks ago to head offa force of revolutionists, sacking Camargo on the other side. fort an a the As is well known, Capt. Burke surprise hours later met and routed them again, but lost one man, while another was wounded. Mr. Woodburn stays that the Garza men have the advantage of regular troops in that part of the country as they are perfectly familiar with every foot of ground, have hundreds of friends living on the ranches on both sides of the river and are all splendid horsemen. He doesn’t think that Garza himself will ever be taken alive, nor does he believe that the rev- olutionist will de killed by regular troops, as they would be handicapped too much in the pursuit. Mr. Woodburn is of the opinion that the State militia, or Texas Rangers, as they are called down there, will do the most effective work in ridding this country of the revolu- tionists. »The Texas rangers are mostly cowboys,’’ he said, ‘‘andare a match for the revoiu- tionists in every icular on their own grounds. They know the country well, have fends there and can ride and shoot in the ideal cowboy fashion. They are dare-devils and rather like the excitement of the revoiu- a. Mr. Woodburn is of the opinion that the trouble will so be over now, as the rangers and regular troops seem to have Garza sur- rounded and are closing in on him. Garza is personally known to almost every man, woman and child in Duval, Nueces, Starr and Hidalgo counties, and would have to disguise himself pretty well to escape de- tection. When he is killed the revolution“ will collapse at once, Mr. burn thinks. He -ridicuies the idea that the Oatholic Church of Mexico is backing Garza and says that his money comes from Mexican rancheros and not from church. The crops have failed on both sides of the river and the land owners are in a very bad humor in . **The rancheros on the Mexican side attribute their mis- fortune to the Government,’’ said Mr. Wood- burn, and it would be all the same if the Clerical party were in power. The adminis. tration w Diamed, whether Diaz or some other man was President, and any movement in opposition to the administra- tion would have their symyathy and support. Besides, Garza is personally known to them he is popular there not only with eros, but also) with the la boring classes.

Richard Ennis Describes the Result of an Investigation by John Finn Into the Family History of the Blue Grass Knight—An Evening of Jollity in the ' Lindel) Parlors. Their table wasn’t round, but for jollity the Knights of st. Patrick, electing their officers last night in the famous Parlor Twenty-two of the Lindell Hotel, could give a point to those symposiums of the days of chivalry. Men prominent in the business and political life of the city came to this meeting. The officers for this year were to be elected, and the Knights never allow an election to pass ofr without interest. There were President John D. Finney, Circuit Judge Daniel Dillon, Chief of Police Lawrence Har- rigan, Richard Ennis, O. F. Guthrie, ex- Councilman J. K. Cummings, James E. Bur- leigh, Justice James McCaffrey, Police Judge Thos. Morris, Thos. J. Portis, Forest Park Supt. Michael J. Callahan, Police Capt. Matthew Kiely, Thomas McDermott, T. W. Sharkey, A. C. Harrington, M. K. McGrath, Andrew Parle, Henry W. Bond, R. E. Fitz- gerald, John Finn, William McOabe, W. J. Baker, F. Burns, R. D. Lancafter, Dr. H. J. McKellops, Bernard O'Reilly and Col, David W. Caruth of the Police Board, Col. Caruth is put last because during the first part of the meeting he was Gown in the lobby of the hotel, walking about conning over to himselfa little speech he expected to make after a while. THEIR DEAD COMRADES. The Knights listened, at the begin- ning of the session, to reso- lutious upon the death of Knight John J. Daly, who died the last day of the old year. Resolutions were presented by Judge Porter, Judge Dillon and Mr. Ennis, and all those spoke lovingly of the dead man. They were followed by City Reg- ister Joseph A. Wherry, who although he is not a member, had en asked, as an in- timate friend of Mr. Daly, to address the Knights. He said a few earnest words of re- gard and a resolution of thanks was extended to him. Then the real business of the even- ing began. **Nominations for President are in order,’’ Called President Finney. Nobody responded for an instant. ‘‘Dol understand that nobody has a nomination for President of the Knights of St. Patrick?’’ Gemanded President Finney in a terrible voice, PRESIDENT DAVE CARUTH. Judge McCaffrey leaped to his feet, and without gilding refined gold by aspeech of eulogy nominated Col. Caruth. He was elected by acclamation. President Finney named Judge Dillon, Justice Me- Caffrey and Mr. Ennis. ‘‘Goand huntup Mr. Caruthand bring him here,’’ he directed. „Ot course Idon’t know where heis,’’ he added. He may be out of town.’’ The committee smiled,descended the stalr- case and luckily found Col. Caruth without having to hire a carriage and drive about the city. When they brought him back everybody rose. Allow me to present tothe Knights their new President, said President Finney. ‘‘I cheerfully resign my baton and scepter into his hands, Under nis administration the young blood, Dick Ennis and John Finn have been demanding will get a chance it has never had before, and we old boys, myself and my otherancient I gee here, Cummings, will rejoice to see it. The knights sat down and President Caruth made a short address promising them a vig- orousg administration. THE OTHER OBFICERS. Portis . nominated Judge Morris Vice-President and he was acclamation. Chief Har- rigan nominated Henry W. Bond for Seconda Vice-President, saying that the —— wanted a specimen of Young Amer- ; Judge for First elected by ica in that office. He was chosen unan- imousiy. Judge Finney nominated Bernard ©’ Reilly of Carondelet for Third Vice-Presi- dent, giving him a J.“ as a middle initial. „Hold on, said George Ford, there's no joy about that O’Reilly.’’ Oh, said Judge Finney, blandlx, as he scratched out the superfluous initial, I 1 with you. r.

Capt. Kiely still hesitated. Other men were nominated and refused to serve. Judge Finney said that Chief Harrigan ought to be the treasurer, and use his detective ability in running Gown delinquent members. The Chief said Capt. Kiely would beat him on the vote. ‘*Give it to John Finn, said Mr. Mu. J. Me- Namara, he's got plenty of time. Finally the Knights got back to Capt. Kiely and made him take the office. .

New York, Jan. 9.—How could the dead body of a man be removed froma coffin and another put in its place during a railroad journey? That was the question which some officials of the morgue were’asking last night. For the mysterious murder which took place in the edge of the Harlem river early New Year’s morning has developed another mystery that is one of the queerest of the queer stories which, the gruesome pre- cincts of the morgue have given in contem- rary life. The ter, | of the victim had — taken the to morgue about time that the tough young Turner confessed to the crime. lyin there a day or two it was identified as that of Henry A. Mc- Shane, a young cooper formerly of Syr- acuse. His cousin Thomas McShane identi- fied the boy and telegraphed young Mc- Shane’s mother. She arrived from Syra- cuse late Thursday night. her at the Grand Central Depot and together they went tothe Morgue. Mrs. Ne- Shane identified the body at once as that of her son. She recognized it by the broken oint inthe left hand. A cousin arene. in few York had also identified the body. rs. McShane secured an undertaker and last evening shipped the body by express to Syra- cuse. Mrs. McShane also left for home at the same time. This afternoon, however, when she looked at the body in Syracuse she said at once that it was notthatofherson. She telegraphed to Thomas McShane in this city to correct the mistake. He went downto the Morgue last night, thinking the wrong body had been shipped to Syracuse and explained the matter to Warden O’ Rourke of Bellevue Hospital. The Warden, with Capt. Jack Donovan and sev- eral men connected with the Morgue, went through that institution with cShane. When the search was concluded, the Warden and all the offictals were positive that the body which had been identified as that of Henry McShane was the one that was . The prisoner, Turner, charged the murder, is held toawaitthe action of the Grand-jury. — LATE SPORTING NEWS. A New Featherweight in the Professional Arena. New York, Jan. 9.—John 8.

SCHAEFER AND SLOSSON. New YORK, Jan. 9.—Jake Schaefer began practice for his coming game with Slosson last night. He and Lew Shaw played a game of 400 points, 14-inch balk-line at Heiser's Broadway room inthe presence of a good- sized gathering. The champion did not exert himself beyond making some of his startling masses. The table he had expected to prac- tice on has not been put up yet, and besides he was handicaped with a strange cue last night sojhis performance was not sensational. Schaefer is feeling allright again. He and Lew Shaw were Kept Pretty busy yesterday. In the morning they entertained Patti and her husband, Nicolini, both of whom are cranks about the gameat the Hotel Royal, The Wizard was the recipient of a unique scarf pin from Sig.

His Impressions of the Riffel Tower—Ex- tracts Which furnish Merriment for Gay . Parisians—Anniversary of the Death ot Napoleon IIL — Mysterious Suicide—American Arrivals. Paris, Jan, 9.—A great deal of amusement has been caused throughout the city dy the perusal of the real or sup- posedly real fragments of an account written by the Shah of of his adventures here during the last exhi- bition. One of these extracts was published yesterday and in it is a _ descrip- tion of a Visit paid to the Musee du Louvre. When Nazer Ed Deen was well inside the building M. Larroumet of the Fine Arts Department gave every ap- pearance of being about to make an official speech to the visitors, and the words which the Shah is reported to have written are cer- tainly amusing, for he said: ‘‘I fixed him with my eyes and, surveying him from head to foot, said: ‘March!’ M. Larroumet obeyed with the alacrity of a soldier, and this saved time as weil as unnecessary elo- quence.’’ Other extracts from this narrative are of a piece with the foregoing, and His Majesty, who oddly enough frequently com ; plained of the heat, from which be suffered at dinner, receptions and entertainments given in his honor, found the Eiffel Tower very high, and was pleased with the ‘*coolness of the surrounding at- mosphere.’’ He only spoke, however, from an experience derived from his stroll on terra firma at the dase of the tall structure, for while fully recognizing the fact that an elevator had been arranged by learned and skillful en- gineers, he deemed discretion the better part of valor. ‘*‘A wise man ought never to trust too much to it, sol resisted the temptation to undertake an ascent, he writes. He was very much pleased with the dinner and reception given to him by u. Tirard, then the President of the Councl, but his hostess will be surprised to learn that it was she who offered him an arm and who took him into the banqueting room, During his walk through the Louvre he was much struck by the Egyptian sarcophagi, and he also had time to look through the panorama at the Tulilleries, which he found ‘‘most interesting, as it en- abled me to contemplate the counterfeit presentment of all the kings and presidents of France. Here again, according to His Majesty, ‘‘The air was corrupt and stifilng.’’ The Shah was greatly edified by the night fete at the exhl- bition which was given in his honor and was attended by the President and Mme. Carnot. He occupied a commanding position on the platform erected for the purpose, and was much pleased, not only with the amount of tobacco which was offered him, but with „the sweet sounds which came from the neighboring park and restaurants. He was much charmed with the reception he met with from the immense crowa which had collected at the exhibition that evening, and hesays: It welcomed us with acclamations which seemed to come from heart, and we replied by signs.’’ He was completely mystified by the luminous fountains and never could comprehend the process by which the water was tinted sim- ultaneously with different colors. The funeral of the Duke Durcal took place yesterday at St. Philip Du Roule, and the Duchess, although broken down after eigh- teen days of incessant nursing, insisted upon accompanying the body to its last resting place. Among the distinguished peo- le present were the Brazilian and -ortugese Ministers, together with the entire personnel of the Spanish embassy and consu- late. During the day the Duchess received numerous telegrams frqm the royal families of England, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Spain, Portugal and Brazil. To-day, the nineteenth anniversary of the death of Napoleon III., was solemnly observed by a mass at St. Augustine’s Church, which was the place of worship of his Majesty. There were two hundred people present ana among them six delegates from the various Imperialist organizations with banners sur- mounted by the imperialcrown and other insignia. Among those noticed were Gen. Du Barrall, the Marquis De Villeneuve and sev- eral deputies, The Prefecture de la Seine announces to- day thatin consequence of an accident to the siphon in the Orge it will be necessary to supply the city with Seine water instead of spring water for the next two or three days. This announcement is re- ceived with general alarm for the most serious epidemics that ever visited Paris were due enttrely to the forced consumption of Seine water. The outlook, therefore, for os next week or two 1s anything but agree- able. A most mysterious suleide was discovered this morning. The well-known Parisian manufacturer of portable stoves, named Chubersky, a man of large wealth, whose showy stock on the boulevard Mont Martre is familiar to all visitors in Paris, left his home in the city on a saying he was going to „ Ho arranged with his wife that she was to follow ina few days and meet him in St. Petersburg. The wife, im accordance with this undertanding, is now in St. Peters- burg, while his dead body was found early to-day on the floor of his 4. room in his summer residence on the avenue Victor Hugo. When he left home, ostensibly on his jour- ney, he was in the very bestof spirits, and hisemployes to-day declare that his bust - ness was in perfect condition and making large profits.

Written for the SUNDAY POST-DISPATCH. [The following is the first of a series of midwinter letters of travel, which Mr. Murat Halstead has en- gaged to write for the SUNDAY POsT-DISPATCH. ] 1. November is the month when the melan- choly days come, irrespective of political affiliations, and the mourners of the party beaten in the election go about the streets. The amount of sorrow, no matter which side gets the better or the worst of it, is about the same. One who was too busy for a summer vacation may take a winter recess. The way to be out of the way of letters and telegrams for a week isto put to sea and spend the time crossing the Atlantic, which has recently, through excess of newspaper enterprise and telegraphic facilities, gaineda greater repu- tation for boisterous conduct than it de- serves. There isa theory that there are softer airs and smoother waters to be encountered dur- ing midwinter in approaching Europe through the southern rather than the north - ern gates, and hence the happy thought of boats running every fortnight to the Medi- terranean. There was an immense and intense crowd atthe docks; the tragic partings that are never commonplacez the fond lingering em- braces, the fervent shaking of hands, the kisses and tears; the tables of the ship loaded with flowers; the hurrying stewards; the pre- cipitation of trunks marked forthe cabin into the hold; the sea charts made flat to slide under the berths, but nearly always at least half an inch too high; the man distracted be- cause his favorite piece of «baggage is not in his berth; the worried woman whose shawl straps, full of wraps, she is sure are far astray and nevermore to be seen; the table in the cabin spread with last letters and telegrams, precious remem- brances from distant homes; the clang of a belland the distant clangor ofa gong, re quiring those Who are not to make the voy- age to hasten down the gang-way; the very latest arrivals; the bellowing admonition of the steam whistle; the waving of bandker- chiefs and hats, and throwing of kisses; the first turn of the screw; the unexpectedly quick movement of the ship; passionate cries and gestures; good-bye and farewell; the abandonment of grief; the giddy levity of the thoughtless; the hungry look once more atthe loved faces, that fade in a mo- ment as you go from them, it ‘‘may be for earsand it may be forever.’’ The ship is nthe river, between panting tugs that soon yank her around. You can see for half a minute the blur of faces and hats and bou- quetsand handkerchiefs, and then they are swallowed up ina mist so faint you had not noticed it. Then New York is seenasin a Turner picture; the new and lofty structures far down town pass as a panorama—the golden dome of the WORLD, the familiar spire of Trinity and the towering arches of the bridge, and the steel web that connects them with a wonderful combination of grace and strength.

Monday evening there was a sudden com- motion on deck. Several persons sprang trom their sea chairs and burried to the scene ofexcitement. In a moment it was ascer- tained that a man was overboard. Someone said it was not so, but a hat was seen on a 7 wave. There was a rush to the ridge; the ship was turned on her course, the screw throwing up a sparkling green letter Sin getting around. A boat was made ready for launching, but there was no speck then to be seen on the slopes of the multitude of waves, and after lingering on the spot where the tragedy occurred until! hope was necessarily vain, the voyage was resumed. After a few hours it became known that the man lost was Mr. Oswald Jackson of New Lork, a gentleman who had recently sus- tained grievous losses and was traveling for nervous prostration. Exactly how he hap- pened overboard has not been clearly stated, if Known to anyone, as it probably is not. The sea became extravagantly high. The dark lilils roared and fell around us with such portentious surges that, though the winds were loud in their walling, we were sure of their insufficiency to account forthe vast succession of cataracts like Niagara among which we were plunging, and the conclusion was we were in the wakeof a West India hurricane on the way to ravage Northern Europe, and we thought with pity of the poor people on the Ems and Etruria far away to the North, though possibly they were hav- ing a better time than we. The darkness around our ship grew dreadful, broken only by bursts of whiteness, telling in the over- whelming loom that some tremendous roller had burst into a fountain as of snow. The screw caught the ole doleful habit of springing from the Water and shaking the iron edifice on which we rode as if resoived to Yreak it in many pieces. The violence of the sea came in sharp shocks. It occurred to me that I would*goon deck and see to the navigation for a few moments. A lady in the door of her stateroom, holding on with both hands, her beautiful hair float- ing long and free, and to the best of my knowledge and belief forgotten, her face white and drawn, the flash of her nightdress seen under her secluding ulster, asked piti- fully: ‘*Do you think there is any immed&te Ganger?’’ About what, madame? was my brutal response. ‘‘Oh, this awful storm. Hut, madame, there is no storm. The night is squally, that is all, We are in the safest place in the world. It is disagreeable, to be sure, but not dangerous in the least, I assure you.. ‘‘Oh, thank You, said the lady, with deep gratitude for my brazen story. The sound was so awful, she said, ‘‘I thought we must be in a fright- ful hurricane.’’ (i think) quite the air ofa superior old sailor: a hurricane is much more amusing.’’ This time she seemed to detect a twang of insin- cerity.. In the dining room there was a group of crouching ficures—ladies on the wee oe the south of France—ladies of high. social pleasure intolerable, saloon, awaiting the worst, as they believed. Their alarm was most touching. The thundering thumps of waves against the broadside of the ship were not agreeable—indeed had passed far beyond eee “ complacent, humor. I sal ; I rom e ec L. e n * pt Ae adies sala: — rooms solemn belleve int up and s E for a fe few minutes slamming sea, and the rushed in a torrent down the aft showers t hone — the heavens in a superb array of rain! Indeed, no, I said with St. Michel, there isa high mountain, the old crater of which is a lake at a great elevation, and the lake is full of goldfish. It was in the neighborhood of one of these islands that in 1811 an awful explosion occurred under the sea, and smoke and flames broke forth in tremendous volumes. Countless fish were thrown up in all stages of boiling and brot ‘ng, and huge stones followed, with incredil- ble quantities of black sand. Soon there was an island formed, which, before the eruption ceased, was 350 feet high. After some months it disappeared, but there remained a danger - ous ref. This eruption has been one ot the wonders of the world. Beyond this region, toward Gibraltar, in the dark o»bilue waters, is the enchanted ocean wherein the fabled island, Atlantis, should be found if science ever dives so profoundly as to prove the truth of one or the fancies as interesting as the facts that are perverted in what wecall history. The golden torch that burned ower the picturesque cliffs and bright flelds of romantic Graciosa was the promise of a beautiful da?, and our good Ship sped throug the shining Southern waters, with rolling billows of. lace under her bows, hertaper masts pointing to the ex- quisite dome of the sky, delicately blue as that over the valley of the Ohio, and with the glow ofthe supreme beauty that is associ- ated with Italy; and we were floating as if on amystical bark on the boundaries of two worlds, one rich with the treasures of memory, the other radiant with the hues of hope. Beneath the waves is the most gor- geous Of the fables of the ocean, the mystery ofthe ages. Through these glittering waters Columbus sailed to immortality, and was sent home in chains, and here the. navies. of the great powers have spun the threads of history. Wecross between the Azores and the rock of Gibraltar, the pathway of Colum-. bus to the Indies he discovered, and the track of the British ship that salled with Napoleon to St. Helena, and that of Childe Harold in his pilgrimage that ended in Greece, and of Nelson going to the shores of Egypt and Spain, to make the most bril- lant chapter of her history for his country at Aboukirand Trafalgar.

How to Make Them—Their Smell Enough to Make the Gods Hungry. It is an old-fashioned farmhouse kitchen In an old-fashioned farmhouse. On one side of the chimney are bags of flower seed for next summer’s sowing, and on the other a bunch of smartweed and astring of red peppers. The floor is as white and clean as your hand, mother“ has on a clean white apron and her sleeves are tucked up as she sifts the stewed pumpkin through the collander. N-m-m~— But isn’t that a rich odor! That's real old pumpkin, that is—realold pumpkin which was growing out here among the corn- hills two weeks ago. the kitchen of the best hotel for a month and you wouldn't get that odor. Now, here is your plie-crust—such as your used to make it in the olden days @f — water, salt and a sturdy brand of flour w substance to it.

His Murderous Career Opened When He Was Only 18 Tears Old, and He Was en Outlaw Before He Was a Man—One Name, That of His Wie, Bacrod to the Avenger—A Possible Rescue. WISE Va., Jan. 9.—There are rumors of an attempt to rescue Tall Hall, the noted desperado, who is bow in Wise County jail. He has some desperate friends, and conse- quently the Sheriff is prepared foran ‘‘inci- dent, Talton Hall began his criminal ca- reer when he was 13 years old and has lost count of how many human lives he has taken. He says it’s not 100, but he won't say lues not ninety-nine, Thirty victims are named and charged to him by the authorities of Virginta and Kentucky. He freely dis- cusses the probabuity of getting out of his present ‘*scrape,’’ and so long as he keeps from making the criminating confession of guilt he freely discusses his history and life and everything except bis faithful wife, whose name is never profaned by discussion amidst his surroundings. On the 9th day of December last, Detective Pryde and Hedrick of the Memphis police force, arrested him, and it now seems proba- bie that his career will shortly end. The officers found thelr man in a room on Front street, where he was quietly eating his supper, in company with his wife, Hall was armed witha ride and revolver, but the of- ficers took him unawares and he quietly sub- mitted to arrest. Hall is described as a tall man, muscularand erect, and wears a full bieck beard. He was taken to Wise without delay. lie talked very freely and gives the following story of bis life without hesitation: was 13 years old, he said. my L. and Marshall Hall, were “i by George Hank.

Once Milt Turner attempted his capture for a large reward. Hall and a half joven friends gave the posse a warm recep tion, at which time the dead numbered over Turner was himself captured.

The Nashville (Tenn.) correspondent of a Northern paper sent outa report some days ago that ah attempt had been made to lynch Hall, which was foiled by the alacrity of the officials in having the prisoner removed to a place of safety. According to this same veracious authority, the mob became en- raged at not finding their prey and burned down the jail. This story is not borne out by the facts, and has since been proved a pure fiction. As a matter of fact, Talton Hall murderer, desperado, braggart, cutthroat and coward, languishes in the body of the Wise County jail, where he will in all human probability remain until twelve good men and true shall have had an opportunity to pass..udgmenton him for someone of his manifold crimes. From present indications, Mr. Hall's life work of 8 @ private graveyard is drawing to a gloomy though fitting close, and it is to be sincerely hoped that nothing may occur to prevent a hempen tie being laced around his neck and one of the most esperategharacters of the present day thus made to atone in some measure for the many evil deeds laid at his door.

New York, Jan. 9.—The new Greek Church on Fifty-third street, located in the basement ofa building occupied by other denomina- tions, will be dedicated to-morrow week. Now that the colony has succeeded in getting a priest from the church authorities at Con- stantinople. Since his arrival here in the early part of the week. his weifare has been looked after by some of the more prominent members of the congregation. Congratulations have been telegraphed from San Francisco, the only other Greek congregation in the United States. The Rev. Paisius Ferendinos, Archiman- Arite ofthe Greek Church of New York, was | born on the Island of Patmos, withina few hours’ walk of that cave in which St. John the Divine is supposed to have seen the Visions he wrote down in Revelations.

Fortwo years he served as deacon to the patriarchate of Alexandria, and in 1885 was ordained a priest by the Patriarch Sophronios. Since that time he has been librarian and assistant chaplain at the Pizarian Theological Schooi at Athens. The Rev. Paisius Ferendinos is short of Stature and probably quite slenderiy built, although at rst glance he seems to be fat.

He speaks ancient and modern Greek, French, Italian and Arabic. He 1s studying English, but as yet does not venture to speak a single word of It. According to the rule in the Greek Church a married man who becomes a priest retains his family relations, but a single man enter- ing the priesthood must never marry. Father Ferendinos was not married when he entered the ministry, and he will therefore never marry. This Is Business.

HOUARD ON A THRONGED STREET, Mystery Which fer Many Months Sur- rounded the Event-—The Suspected Murder Traced to Granby—His Arrest Accomplished Under Great Difficulty— A Man With a Bad Record. JOPLIN, Mo,, Jan. 9.—Another short post- ponement of the Hudson-Houard murder trial is necessitated by the inability of Judge Burgess to preside in the case. The defense raised objections to Judge McGregor and he named Judge Burgess. The latter wrote that he will be unable to come here before the latter part of the month, and Judge Bland has been applied to to sit in the trial. | He has responded by saying that he will be here on Monday next and ready to open the case on Tuesday. There is a deep concern manlfested in this trial, and a brief recount- ing of the events ofthetragic affair will be of interest. Dr. L. G. Howard was killed on the night of ‘luesday, Sept. 5, 1886. He was shot on Main street while the sidewalk was thronged with people, at about 7.30 o’clock. When the shot was fired it was not known whose hand had directed it. When Dr. Houard was picked up it was found that oozing from a ghastly his temple. He was carried across the street to Williams’ drug store, and thence to bis own room on the second floor. Drs.

Of course, he remained upncon- scious, only emitting occasionally a faint groan. Of perhaps twenty persons who saw the man who fired the shot, no one in the excite- ment could identify him, and the descrip- tions were Various. Dr. Houard was walking south at the time in company with E. D. Porter. They waiked arm in arm from Williams’ drug store across Third street. Mr. Porter was on the left Young’s corner the gentlemen disengaged their arms in Sing some children going north. When a fe feet south of the corner of Young’s building the shot was fired. Houard fell to the sidewalk, and Mr. Porter was so stunned by the concussion seconds before he could realize the situation, The baliafter passing through Houard’s head cut through his bat on the left side, severing the band and break ing the brim. Then it ssed 60 close to Mr. Porter’s head that it plowed its way through the top of his hat. It was a very close call for Mr. Porter. The shot was evidently fired from a point very near the corner of the Young building, and only two or three feet distant from the victim. After fring the shot the assassin ran across Main street east on Third, then south on the alley east of H. C. sutton’s. Several persons essayed pursuit, but the fact that the mur- Gerer carried a heavy pistol in his band, dis- couraged efforts atintercepting him by un- armed men. For months preceding the tragedy Dr. Hou- ard’s name had been connected with various scandais compromising several married women claiming high social stafiding. The theory generally advanced is that the shoot- lug bad its origin in some of these circum- | Stances, and was done by a bired assassin.

Subsequent events have pointed to the conclusion that Houard had been Killed by some person hired to commit the deed. At last as the threads of the mysterious murder was picked up and woven into a tangible theory, suspicion fastened upon George Hudson, who is now tc answer for the crime. Last June a warrant was issued for his ar- rest upon an affidavit sworn to by Sheriff Purcell. The warrant was placed in the nmands of Marsbal Cofer, who proceeded to Granby to take Hudson into custody. The Marshal was accompanied 24 Manamy, the assistance of the Sherif of Newton County and the City Marshal of Neosho in lo- cating Hudson. After a long search he was found, but the Newton County officers re- fused to give any assistance in making an ar- rest. Hudson is a notorious desperado.

City or Mexico, Mexico, Jan. 9.—The work of improving the harbor of Coatzacoalicos is progressing in a very sat isfactory manner. Herbert F. Deane of Chicago, who is the Vice-President of the Mexican Harbor Improvement Co., which bas charge of the Coatzacoalcos harbor work has arrived here on business connected with that project. The reports in regard to the improvement of Tampico harbor are also very encouraging. An availabie channel, 1d feet deep, across the bar hus been se- cured. The scouring and dredging will be continued until the channel has reached a depth of at least twenty-twofeet. The mat- tress work on the south jetty is now com- pleted and it is confidently expected that the New York and Trans-Atilantic steamers will be enabied to enter the harbor through the channel and discharge their cargoes at the Tampico docks by the first of next month. C. L. Brown of Chicago, where he is well Known in ratlroad circies, has been appointed superintendent of the north jetty at Tampico. The Monterey & Mexican Gulf Rallway will Duild extensive wharves at the half-way point between Tam- pico andthe bar. The Mexican Central road will also have its wharves and warehouses near the same place. Among the recent prominent visitors to Tampico was Col. A. C. Podge, general manager of the Rio Grande & Western Hailroad, and formerty General Manager of the Mexican Nationa! road. Mr. Ernest Hirsch, a prominent thread manufacturer of Glasgow, Scotland, has been spending several days here. He came di- rectly here from Brazil, where he has been for many months, leaving there about a month ago, In speaking of the recent revo- lutions in that ccuntry, Mr. Hirsch states that considering the enormous cause of dis- satisfaction it is remarkable that the revolu tion bas not grown to larger dimensions. »The primary cause, he says, of the late troubles was the lavish emission of bank notes, which was not only excessive but also were badiy managed. Another cause of _ the troubles has been the absolute inadequate shipping facilities in the harbors of Rio and Santos andthe lack Of internal communica- tions bet ween English company were lying in the harbor of Rio unable to discharge owing to want of i fler the ; 1 BR : Re ee a — ee —E—a—— — eeee —— — tion of the materials and effects which it may be necessary to bring from abroad for constructin and furnishing the hotel.

POLICIES ON LIVES THAT ARE HANGING BY A THREAD, The Business Winked At by the Compa- nies - How Mrs. Joyce Makes Money Out of It—Victims of Her Gloomy In- dustry Sometimes Linger Too Long The Whole Truth Only Hinted At. New Tonk, Jan. 9.—A sharp-eyed woman sitsat the top of an East Side tenement, watching and waiting for death. Her busi- ness is graveyard insurance, so-called, and she will tell you, if you ask her, that she finds it both pleasant and profitable. The East Side has many of these human vultures, itissaid. The cheap insurance companies, those that collect premiums at the rate of 10, 15 and 20 cents a week, know more about the system than they care to tell. Mrs. Mary Joyce has been a shrewd, bard-working, en- ergetic woman all her lite. the was born in Fordham, of Irish parents, and she has lived to middle age in the tenement streets and av. enues near the East Kiver and Eighteenth street. Her husband, Frank, isa laborer. Charitable societies on the East Side know | Mrs. Joyce as a keen witted woman, who hag successfully played upon their philanthropy by all manner of sharp tricks. She did this severai times, but finally her greed overcame her tact. In one case she refused to divide equally and the woman in bed got up, called her a hog and went around tothe societies exposing the whole thing. Then Mrs. Joyce saw the possibilities of the insur- ance business and went into that. There isa grocery store on the northwest corner of First avenue and East Nineteenth street. The three upper floors have two apartments each. The vuliding is in the shadow of the L' station. A 6 porter climbed to the fourth floor last even- ing. A short, stout woman of middie age opened the door of the rear apartment, I Mrs. Joyce at home?’’ the reporter in- quired. “Iam the woman. Come in, was the cheery welcome.

THE EXILES IN JAMAICA LEABERS OF THE MOVEMENT, alleged Purchase of a Steamer Changed to a Man-ofWar-—The Agent of the Revolutionistse in New York—Gen. Nanigat Said to Be the Leader of the Revolution. wew Tonk, Jan. 9.—The discovery has just deen made by Mr. Price, the Haytian Minister to the United States, of a revolutionary movement having for its object the over- tnrow of President Hippolyte of Hayti. The revolutionary party, he bas found, has atted out in this country a man-of-war equipped with all the appliances of modern warfare, which is intended to be used by the Haytian exitlesin Jamaica to capture Port- au- Prince and establish a new government. Minister Price has denounced the revolution- ary movement to the Government at Wash- ington, and it is expected that the detective machinery of the State Department will be set in motion to-day for the capture of the man-of-war and the arrest of the agents nere. The Government’s agents will seize the ship if they can find her, The chances are, however, that the revolutionary vessel is already far out to sea, where the Haytian navy will have a merry time finding her. The revolutionary movement isa direct re- sult ot the events ofthe tragic 28th of May, “ol. Among the exiles were Gen. Naight, Gen, Anselme Prophete, ex-President Legit- ime and Gen. Fouchard, There were other exiles of more or less prominence, but these men were the acknowledged leaders. Each man had his political following in Hayti. Some were im the South, some were in the North, some were in the interior of the island. After much discussion it was resolved that the leaders should constitute themselves a com- mittee of revolution and that an expedition should be fitted out. Agents were sent to New York, accompanied by delegates, but after the situation had been thoroughly can- vassed the movement was abandoned. Fora time it looked as though there would be no revolutionary movement, and the Committee of Revolution gave up all hope of immediate progress. For several months political matters in Haytt and among the exiles in Kingston were very quiet. In fact, they were suspiciously | quiet. Early last autumm the situation had | apparently become so peaceful that Presi- dent Hippolyte issued a manifesto of general amnesty, inviting all the exiles to return to Hayti, He even went so far to get the exiles back as to tend a ship to take them to Port. au Prince free of charge. The ship returned empty. It was during this time of peace and quiet - ness that the present revolutionary move- ment was set on foot. The Committee of Revolution chose a new leader and new methods. The leader was Gen. Francois Nanigat, It was a new movement and all of the new leadegs had banded themselves for the success of the movement, It was de- cided to fit outa man-of-war in the United States and to purchase large quantities of arms and ammunition, the general plan be- ing to attack Hippolyte by water in his stronghold at Port-au-Prince. AGENT ROBEST. A trustworthy agent, named Francois Robest, who was a man of ability and discretion, was sent to New York to confer with the friends of the move- mentinthiscity. The agent, accompanied by an assistant named George Richet, ar- rived inthis city earlyin thesummer. He had many consultations with Gen. Nanigat and also with the friend of the anti- revolu- tionary leaders, but the serious work of the movement was arranged almost solely with the friends of Nanigat. Latein the summer it was definitely agreed thata steamer should be purchased and armed and that this ves- sel, after being properly equipped with the supplies and munitions of war, Fhould sail for Hayt! on or about the middle of January, Ie The money with which to fit out the expedition was raised in this ty among merchants who have or who wishto have business dealings with Hayti. The amount is Said to have been close upon $500,000. The steamer was purchased in September. She was an American built vessel, 230 feet jong, and was 2,000 tons registry. She was admirably adapted for the pur e ofa man- war and she had been built extra strong for the purpose of carrying rails and heavy railway supplies, She had two screws,which drove ber atthe rate of fourteen knots an he ur, She could carry coal for fourteen gays“ steaming at full speed. After the steamer had been turned over to the revolu- onary agents she lay for a short time in lebos yard in Brooklyn, where she was ac- cidentally found by spies employed by Minis- erPrice, She was very closely watched,but the sples were thrown off the scent by a bus- mess man of this city who assured them that the snip belonged to him and he was about to ad up for Europe. After the spies were withdrawn the ship left this port for a quiet pace on the South Atlantic seaboard, where bs — rk of uttiug her out was begun early in ober, During the three months that the contract- ors were at work ~ the ship the utmost precautions were taken to avoid discovery. Se ship was constantly coaled so that she might put to sea ata moment’s notice, The workinen Who were employed in strengthen- ing her decks, in making the necessary al- terations and in Ae 4 1 the gun car - Dien were not allowed to leave the ship ‘yen atnhight.

New York, Jan. 9.—On Thursday after- noon the monitor Miantonomah steamed out and fired. two shots with reduced charges form her forward turret guns, but the sea was high and the cold severe, and further trials were postponed until yesterday. The reason for using the reduced powder charge of 155 pounds is that thereby the recoil of the gun can be regulated. The proper recoil with the full charge of 250 pounds of cocoa brown powder is from 86 to 40 inches, so with the re- duced charge of 155 pounds a recoil of 25 or 26 inches should be had. When the gane in the after turret were fired on Tuesday the recoil: was found to be insufficient, and it was therefore necessary to give the watera freer exit. This having been done then the normal recoil of 26 inches with a reduced charge was obtained, insur- ing the proper amount of recoil with the full service charge. Soon after 8 o’clock yesterday morning the Miantonomah got under way. Soon after — beyond Gardiner’s Point Light- ouse the firing began. First reduced charges were all four guns. The noisy and the range high satisfactory. All that was sought for by these shots was to determine the proper recoil. The guns were laid level, and tnerefore each shot struck about 1,500 yards from the muzzle. A great spurt of water followed the impact, and then the shot rose from the surface, made a graceful curve and struck again with somewhat diminished velocity, repeating this performance two or three times and then tearing its way just below the surface before its final disappearance. In each case careful examination was made as to the effect on re- coll and on the general fittings of the gun and of the superstructure. In no case was any objectionable or damaging result re- ported. Each gun wasfired once with the reduced charge, thus makingtwo shots discharged trom each piece since the monitor’s arrival in these waters. These tests having been satisfactorily completed, one shot with the full service charge of 255 pounds of brown cocoa wder was fired, the gun used bein the right-hand one of the pair in the forwar turret. The we recoiled to the full calculated t and the shot sailed more than a mile away before it took its first salt-water bath. The concus- sion following the explosion was tremendous, but everything stood it well. Possibly the water exit may be reduced somewhat in suc- ceeding shots to shorten the recoll, but oth- whee ogg there is little improvement to be 9. used in results were AMERICAN PROJECTILES. WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 9.—The first wholly American armor-plercing 6-inch projectile ever made in this country has just been re- ceived in this city from the ordnance proving ground onthe Potomac, where it recently passed oe a carbon steel plate 11% inches thick. Theshell weighs 100 pounds, is made on the wheel-steering system and notwith- standing the great ordeal shows but .23 inch enlargement indiameter andis shorter by only .38 inch than it was before firing. The point is as sharp and ‘‘biting’’ in its appear ance as when it was first made, no distortion is apparent and there is nota scratch to mar oon smooth surface from point to base. This country has guns of three modern designs that are acknowledged by foreign ex- perts to be superior to those made in other countries; the recent armor trials demon- strated that the covering made for our battle ships was better than foreign plates brought into competition with It, and now comes an out and out American projectile that has done wonderfully well already and promises still better performances in the near future. A number of the shells have been ordered for the navy, and itis thought possible to turn — out at the rate of fifteento twenty per ay. DEPRAVITY’S DEPTHS. Arrest ofa Wretch Who Lived by His Girl Wite’s Dishonor. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—A young man, giving the name of Chaim krumholz, has been arrested in this city on a charge of placing his child wife in a house of ill-repute. Krumnols succeeded in getting himself locked up in a curious way. He appeared at police headquarters yesterday and asked Inspector Swindell to induce his wife to leave a house of ill-repyte on D street. Detective Carter accompanied Krumholz to the house and had an interview with the young woman. She proved to be a girl barely more than 15 years of age, pretty, with dark hair and eyes and well developed figure. She told the officer that her maiden name was Lipke and that her parents reside at 52 Suffolk street, New York. She said she was married to Krumholz about four months ago. She ac- companied her husband to this city and was taken to live at a disorderly-house on Mary land avenue. She says her husband ar- ranged for her admission as an inmate and tnereafter regularly visited her, taking her ill-gotten gains from her and — | her when she had no money .to give im. On one occasion he injured her 80 severely that she was compelled to gotoa hospital for treatment. Krumholz treated her so badly that she ffnal- ly left the house where he had placed her, but having no means of support she entered the resort where the officers found her. She says that Krumholz had corresponded regu- larly with her parents, telling them that he has been working at his trade, which Is that ofabarber. He has written that they are living together comfortably, and that she is very happy. Detective Carter, after hearing the young woman’s story, took Krumholz into custody and locked him up. He denies her state- ments and declares that he would willingly — her if she would give up her present mode of life. Detective Carter to-day brought several witnesses before the District Attorney who testified as to the husband’s arrangements with the proprietress of the house in which the girl first lived, and as to the ill treatment to whicn she was subjected. It is but a short time since another young foreigner named Jahndorf was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary for the crime of which Krumhols is accused. While awaitin a new trial at the District al he was kill by a fellow prisoner. CRISP KEPT HIS WORD. Romantic Story of the Speaker’s Early Career in Georgia. WasnixoTon, D. C., Jan. 9.—A pretty story of a romance in the life of Speaker Crisp comes from Georgia. While the Speaker was a struggling young lawyer at Ellaville he fell in love with Miss Clara Burton, but his attentions were discouraged by her father, who naturally wanted his daughter to marry well from a money point of view. The old gentleman was firm and the young couple slightly discouraged. The young lawyer, but freshly admitted to the bar, lived in hisoffice, a room in the old court-house. Here were all his worldly pos- sessions, a few law books, a bed, a trunk and a few chairs. At this juncture he was taken sick and in his cheerless room was attended by his physician, Dr. J. N. Ohevey. Miss Burton bad arranged it that the doctor should keep her well advised as to the cond!- tion of his patient, that he should let ber know his exact condition, concealing noth- ing, and in one’ us Communications to her he betrayed an auvasiness as to the result of the case. Immediately this young woman, despite her father’s Well-known opposi- tion, requested the doctor to deal honestly and candidly with her anu to inform her whether her young lover was having that care and attention which he should have and notified him that if he was in need of par- ticularly tender nursing and watchful care she would come at once to his lonely cham- ber and have the marriage ceremony be- tween them performed so that she * — re for and nurse h udge Crisp’s this note — of 8 therto pen by — dominated him, but thes and there he banished forever all hopelessness and despair of the future, and, in evidence, said to his professional! friend: „Get me up from this bed, hen In be a man. My life shall be consecra to a woman such plock as that. I will marry her despite 2 erty and the shall never me. Be has kept his word. CLERICAL ORITIOS. Robert d. Ingersoll Writes a Lengthy and Categorical Reply. ‘‘CHRISTIANITY THE BEARER OF A MES- SAGE OF ETERNAL GRIEF.” All Sects Taking a Hand in the Fight Over the Great Infidel’s Christmas Sermon, Precipitated by the Methodist, Dr. Buckley — The School of Christ — The High Priestess of the New Faith. New Tonk, Jan. 9.—So bitter and extended have been the attacks on Col. R. G. Ingersoll for his Christmas sermon that before leaving for the West this week he wrote a categorical reply to his clerical critics, which is given in substance below. So much interest has been stirred up by the fight precipitated by the Methodist, Dr. Buckley, that all the sects are taking a hand. To-morrow Dr. B. F. Da Costa, the well-known Episcopalian, will discuss it from his pulpit, as will also Rev. Dr. David J. B. Burrell, representing the or- thodox Presbyterian and Reformed views in the Marble Collegiate Church. Here is In- gersoll’s reply: I was called to account for having stated that Christianity did not bring ‘‘tidings of great 34 but a message of eternal grief—that it he future with fear and fame—made God the keeper of an eternal penitentiary in which most of the chil- dren of men were to be imprisoned forever, and that, not satisfied with that, it had deprived God of e of eternal grief, and a majority of the human race are to ome eternal convicts, and God has deprived himself of the pardoning power. According to these creeds no word of mercy to any of the lost can ever fall from the lips of the infinite. The Unfversalists deny that such was oristhe real message of Christianity. They insist that all are finally to be saved. If that doctrine be true, then I admit that Christianity came with tidings of great joy. I do not object to Christianity because it promises heaven to a few, but cause it threatens the many with perdition. It does not seem possible to me that a God who loved men to that degree that he died that they might be saved, abandons his children the moment they are dead. It seems to me that an in- finite God might do something for a soul after it has reached the other world. Is it possible that infinite wisdom can do no more than is done for a majority of souls inthis world? Think of the millions born in ignorance and filth, raised in poverty and crime. ink of the millions who are oniy partially devei- Think of the weakness ef the oped in this world! Think of the tempta- will, of the power of passion! tions innumerabie! hink, too, of the tyranny of man, of the arrogance of wealth and position, of the sufferings of the weak, and can we then say that an infinite God has done, in this world, all that could be done for the salvation of His children. Is it not barely esible that somethin may be done in another world? Is there nothing le for God to do for a Et ignorant, criminal human soul after it leaves this world? Caa God do nothin except to pronounce the sentence of eterna! pain I insist that if th orthodox creed be true, Christian- ity did not come with **tidings of great joy,’’ but that ite message was, and is, one of eternal grief. If the orthodox creed be true, the universe is a vast blunder—an infinite crime. Better a thousand times that every of life cease better that a Gods should fail alsied fromtheir thrones, than that the creed of ‘aristendom should be true. There is in the church no spirit, no climate of compromise. In the nature of things there can be none, because the church claims thet it is absolutely right, that there is only one road leading to heaven. It demands uncondi- tional surrender. It will not bear contradiction. It claims to have the absolute truth. For these reasons it cannot consistently compromise any more than a -mathematician could change the multiplication table to meet the views of some one who should den that ve times five are twenty-five. The chure does not give its opinion, it claims to know—it demands belief. jonesty, industry, gen- erosity count for nothing in the absence of belief, It has taught and stillteaches that no man can reach heaven simply through good and honest deeds. It believes and teaches that the man who relies upon himself will be eternally*punished—and why should the church forgive a man whom it thinks its God is waiting somewhat impatiently to damn? The Rev. Mr. Peters asks—and probably honestiy thinks that the questions are pertinentto the issues involved: What has intidelity done for the world? What colleges, hospitals and schools has it founded? What has t done for the elevation of ublic morals?’’ And he inquires what science or art las been originated by infiaelity. He asks how many slaves it has liberated, how many inebriates it has reclaimed, how any fallen women it has restered, and whatit did for the relief of the wounded and dying soldiers; and concludes by ask- ing what life it ever assisted to higher holiness and whatdeath it has ever cheered. Although these questions have nothing whatever to do with the matter under discussion, still it may be weil enough to answer them. THE QUESTIONS ANSWERED. First. As to schools. It is most cheerefully ad- mitted that the Catholics have always been in favor of education—that i» to say of education enough to make a‘atholicoutofaheathen. It is also admitted that Protestants have been in favor of enough edu- cation to make a Protest nt out ofa Catholic. Many schools and colleges have been established for the spread of what is called the gospel and for the educa- tion of the clergy. Presbyterians have founded schools for the benefit of their creed. The Methodists have established colleges for the purpose of making Methodists. This is true of nearly ali the sects. Asa matter of fact, these schools have in many important directions hindered rather than helped the ca se of real edu- cation. The pupils were not taught to investigate for themselves. They were not allowed to think. These schools have been, and most of them still are, the enemies of higher education, and just to the ex- tent that they are under the control of theologians they are hindrances, and just to the extent that they have been secularized they have been and area ben- efit. Our public sct.ool system is not Christian. It is secular. Yet] admit thatit never could have been established witheut the assistance of Christians, neither could it 5 re been supported without the as- sidtance of others. The greatest professorsin our colleges to-day are those who have the least con- dence ip the supernatural and the schools that stand highest in the estimation of the most intelligent are those that have drifted farthest from the orthodox creeds. Free thought has always been and ever must be the friehd of education. Without free thought there can be no such thing—in the highest sense—as a school. Uniess the mind is free there are no teachers and there are no pupils in any just and sense. Forinstance: Aman is graduated orthodox university. In this university studied astronomy and yet he believes that Joshua stopped the sun. He has studied geology and yet he asserts the truth of the Mosaic cosmogony. He has studied chemistry and yet believes that water was turned into wine. He has been taught the ordina theory of cause effect, and at the same time he thoroughly believesin the miraculous multiplication of loaves and fishes. Can such an institution with any pro- priety be called a seat of learning? Can we not say to such a university what Bruno said of Oxford: Learning is dead and Oxford ie its widow?'’ Can it be shown that any infidel has ever raised his voice against education? Can there be ound in the litera- ture of free thought one line net the enlichten- ment of the human race? Has free thought ever en- deavored to hide or distorta fact? H it not al ways appealed to the senses—to demonstrations? It has not said: He that bath esrs to hear, let him hear, but it has said: He that hath brains to think, let k. fect in their philosophy.

It is the story of a crime over which Justice has comfortably nodded for exactly twelve months. 8. It is the story of a tragedy which at the moment of its occurrence in January, 1891, sent a thrill of horror to half a million hearts; a story of life- wreck, of home-wreck, heartbreak, that has never been excelled in pathos, It is a story in which the ngure ot a young girl forms the appealing central character; a young girl whose life wentou under the crime over whose unsolved and un- punished mystery Justice has slept so calmly and so long. It is a story of the most grievous wrong crying aloud to all the world for such righting as was possible; the old story ofa girl’s unwise love costing happiness, reputa- tion and life.

One year ago a criminal operation was per- formed on ura Fitts, which caused her death on the morning of Feb. 2, six days ter. Within less than a fortnight after Laura Fitts’ death every shred of evidence in the case pointed to two persons, amanand a woman, asthe parties responsible for that death. The man was George W. Dashman. The part he played in the wr ag: + according to ihe evidence, was that of the betrayer of Laura Fitts; the married rake who ruineda oung girl, the mysterious escort who took Laure tts away from her home on the night ot Jan. 28, 1891, and carried her to the scene of the cri inal operation, the price of which was her life. The woman was Midwife Louisa Hotson, to whom the evidence pointed as the one Who performed the criminal operation, the woman at whose establishment Laura Fitts spent that awful Qignt of Jan. 28, 1891, the masquerading May Jennings.“ who took Laura Fitts, dying, back to her home on the morning of Jan. 29, 1801, and told a care- fully prepared story of Laura’s sudden illness at a „ the night before, the woman who received a mother’s grateful thanks for self-credited kindnesses, knowing the crime covered by the lie of her rr the stylish my pel doctor’’ who sat in the Fitts’ hum- ome and Es} saw Laura Fitts sink in pain upon that bed from which she never n arose. killing of a helpless and loving girl, the sacrifice of a young and sweet life, was the crime that then went into the crimina) court for punishment upon the heads of its perpe rators. , To walls of stone in that court has it called since for nearly twelve months.

THE DANCING EGG. A Clever Trick, but It Requires a Dextrous Hand. Written for the SUNDAY Posr-Disraron. Take a hard bolled egg and lay it in the cen- tor of a plate or dish, turned upside down, and held in the manner as shown in the sketch. By giving the dish a horizontal movement theegg will move along with it, and as the rapidity of the motion is increased up to a certain degree, the egg will right it golf and stand onthe pointed end, spinning or dancing like a top. Why is it that the egg drops onthe pointed and not the blunt end? The reason for it is this: During the boiling of the egg a vacuum is formed whereby the egg has become com- paratively heavier at the pointed end than the flat. In order to harmonize the center of N of the egg with its central axis it must beset onits point during the boiling process, andto devise a method whereby this can be done must be left to the ingenuity of our readers. Our little experiment requires a somewhat dexterous hand. In the first place the neces- sary force must be applied in turning the late; then again the movement must be r- ectly horizontaland as uniform as possibile, because a spasmodic motion would throw the egg from the dish. A good way to succeed Ig to set the plate up-side down on thetabie in such a manner that it can be easily picked uP with the hand. The egg must then be place in the center of the plate and given a spin- ning thotion with the thumb and forefinger, ust as itis done with a coin. While the eg 8 thus spinning, the plate is picked up an rotated, and the former will keep upits per- — while the motion of the latter sts. TRAINING ARMIES TO SWIM. —— e A Corps of Watermen Detailed Specially to Help the Soldiers Across Rivers. Written for the SuNDAY PosT-DIsPATcn. One of the most unfortunate incidents of the Franco-Prussian war was undoubtedly the routing of the Sixth Regiment of French culirassiers—not so much by the enemy who occupled the bridge of Mouzon as by the waters themselves, over which they gallant- ly decided toswim. Hundreds of cavalry men, unable toswim, trusted their lives to their horses and precipitated themselves into the River Meuse, and those who did not perish in the deadly charge made upon them by the Germans, which made their regiment so famous in the annals of war history, suc- Kept Their Powder Dry. cambed to death in the waters like their an- cestor, Pontatowsk!. Had M. De Courtivron’s warnings been heeded earlier, such a wholesale siaughter would nevér have occurred. A pontoon corps had always been main tained in the French army since 179 to aid the soldiers in crossing streams, ete. But while that worked all right where an arm was concentrated, insolated troops were stilt left unprovided for,and this was particularly true for cavalry detachments, who as a rule are far in advance of the main body on re- connaissance duty. The older method of crossing streams U- lustrated in the accompanying cuts had long been abandoned and replaced by the pontoon service.

Having Taken a Contract for $74.95 a Lamp They Now Want 6130 a Lamp— Why the Effort to Work the Assembly Is Bound to Fail— They Will Bear Watching. The attitude of the St. Louis officials to- ward the Municipal Electric Lighting Go. now isone of polite attention. They think they know howto stopthe hand of the company before it gets into the City Treasury and they do not want to borrow trouble by calling on their resources so long as there is nothing but a threat of burglary. Itis easy forevery citizen to understand the situation. Two yearsago Charles Sutter made a contract with the city to Jight its streets and alleys for 574.95 a lamp per year, There were a number of bidders, all of them with more money than Sutter, and he had to go far below the prices other cities are pay - ing for lighting to get the contract. His idea was that he could balance the small price he got for the city Ughting by a large private lighting business. He had no svoner got the contract than he began to face financial difficulttes which had not beén plain to him before, and he had to turn over all his contracts, with the consent ofthe city, to the Municipal Co., which as- sumed all his obligations. James Campbell, the broker, became the Presidentand Gen- eral Manager of the new concern. An enor- mous plant wag built, with more than twice enough power to light the city. The com- pany charged $150a lamp for commercial business, and got mucn less than they expected. Within a year they found that they were not making enough money to carry on business, and they had to Board of Public Improvements would refuse to carry out its illegal demand. PLANS OF THE COMMISSIONERS. President Burnet had a long talk with City 8 Marshall to-day about the situa- on. What do you intend to do?“ he was asked afterwards. „Nothing at an,“ said he. We will wait. I still believe that the co does not in- tend to ng! down its contracts. If it does we will relet it and make the company pay the difference if the second bid is higher, even if the company itself gets the contract the secondtime. The contract itself provided for f course, doesn’t amount to far ahead in the matter. pe the original contract with Charles Sutter. „We foresaw at that time,’’ said he, just what has now happened, and we got the con- tract full of provisions that d give the city the wrt a = Of course that Dill is out of the question. The company did not Intend to pass It. They have lawyers and they know it’s nonsense. It’sa part of some scheme I don’t cleanly understand, but we are all right, nevertheless. By the contract whose terms they Bave violated, we ca right now do those things. We can declarge the con- tract forfeited, relet it and make them pay the higher rate it would cost us to get our light; we can take their wires andrun them forthe city forthe next eight years, or we can buy their wires, the price being made by arbitrators. The qtestion is whetherit Is best todo either of these things or run along as we are dotng now. If the company forfeits, then wecan resort to our weapons. At this polut comes an advantage the company seems to have. If we relet the contract, either now or after the company lays down, the company is Lkely to be the only competitor. The bid would certainly be as high as $1.30a lamp. We would get no cagh in the transaction. We would have to sue for tie forfeit money and the difference in the contract price, and would have to pay cash for light in the interval between the lay- ingdown and the making of a new contract as well as for the Nght we would get under the new contract. In other words we would have to sue the company for our money, and they would get theirs on the nall, It has oc- curred to me that this may explain the com- pany’s behavior. They may hope to beat the city in its suits.’’ „If the company has this advantage, would It not be wise totake the works under the contract at once and manage them for the city?’’ ‘*The objection to that is that the compan has a great many commercial patrons, and it might be thought the wrong thing for the city to go into the business. Still, its water busi- ness is a commercial business also, and it could handle electricity just as well as it does water. Commissioner M. J. Murphy also thinks that the time has not come for action. 80 — —- ~ a ao eae n Biot . i» n ah . ws 1 * e 2 * 1 > * Petts bk : eS wi Jee * 3 N ; 7 9 ens _—* 2 N ahd RES 8 2 1 — a „ ‘ 7 — * — 5 4 at n — — 1 = NS » ‘= r — i= ~ fast 7 we + ke — a * Sn 2 . — * . — —— e . 2 — 2 ; — 1 7 5 ee). “= 2 fe 4 fae : n „. „1. cose.

The Municipalowed the Fort Wayne Electric Lighting Co, a large amount of money. Mr. Campbell consulted with R. T. McDonald the President of the and then stepped out of presidency, and gave Mr. McDonald his place. The fig- urehead ofthe company then went home, and Mr. Campbell began to pull the wires. He began at the last meeting of the Council by introducing a bill which was received with a smile by most of the Councilmep pres- ent. it recited that the company cold not at $74.95 a lamp and Public Improvements ight years of the ten years’ contract time at amp.

I[t is the better policy to hold on to what we have. The Council isnot going to pass that bill, and we can afford to wait. We are not jeopardizing the city’s interests and there is no public demand for action. That isa very good sign that the time to move has not come yet. THE OPINIONS OF EXPERTS. Col. Henry Flad, who was President of the Board of Public Improvements when the Sut - ter contract was made and was Chairman of the Lighting Committee, says thatthe city should assume an aggressive policy towards the company. He thinks the bill absurd, and says the courts would notlet sucha law be carried out. He does not think the city should take the works, but delleves that the contract should be forfeited and relet. He thinks there would be other bidders than the Municipal andthat thenew price would be less than $130. In this R. E. McMath, for- merly Sewer Commissioner, who was on the Lighting Committee with the Colonel, agrees with him, With Commissioner Holman the two wentto Topeka when the Sutter con- tract was under discussion, and examined the system there, which is owned by the city. They found that electricity could be made at a cost of about $%alamp. They point also to the bids made on the lighting when Sutter got his contract as proof that not only would there be more bidders than the Munici- pal, ifthe contract were relet, but the g- ures would also be lower than the new price ofthe biunicipal. At that time, when Sutter bid his $74.95, which got htm into trouble, the Thompson Houston Co, bid $115, O. J. Brown $09. * Missouri Co, $94.75 and the Laclede $1 * * That was two years ago.

By a vote of the assoctation it was resolved to invite the Presidents or representatives of all the various benevolent organizations conducted by women, to a meeting at the Women’s Christian Home, 1814 Washington avenue, next Wednesday morning at II o’clock, The meeting is called to fx a day for all the charitable workers in the city to assemble and discuss the problem of united action in their several flelds. The ladies of the W. C. A. want it distinctly understood that they do not desire to absorb all other organizations. They see, as doall who are engaged in the work, that there is much waste of energy and means through ignorance of the tasks in which their sisters are engaged. This evil has be- come more widespread within the past few years with the rapid growth of women’s so- cleties. The ladies of the Women’s Ohris- tian Association are, many of them, inter- ested in other charities, and they are in a po- sition to see the need of united action, They do not desire to organize a monopoly or manipulate a corner on charity. They look rather to form an exchange, an organization that maintains the autonomy of each mem- ber, and which at the same time gives every member ofthe union the benefit of the ex- perience, the means, the example of the oth- ers. The scheme surely will be successful if the ladies will agree upon a practical basis. There are societies to help the poor, to teach the young, to equip working women for their career in life, to shelter the aged, assist orphans, to protect dumb brutes, to do everything that falls under the expansive folds of charity and philanthropy. These socicties are in every part of the city, Some are made up of members of the same church, others of members of the same neigh borhood or the same social circle. In fact, there is a great deal of provincial- ism on a small scale in the world of charity workers, which noone belleves to be helpful to the cause. The question is how to remedy this evil. The ladies of the Women’s Christian Associa- tion believe that the emergency will develop the solution. The presidents of the various societies will canvass the fleld and appoint a day for a meeting in joint session, The officials of the Woman's Christian As- sociation expect to reach many of the pres- idents before next Wednesday. But they cannot hope to have the addresses ofall, andthey therefore extend an invita- tion, through the press, to the presiding officers of every organization, of whatever kind, composed of women, banded together in the cause of Charity and phllanthrophy.

The Memoria! Home held an election for officers at the Woman’s Christian Home, 1814 Washington avenue, last Monday. The result was as follows: Mrs. C. R. Springer, First Presiding Officer; Mrs. John O'Fallon, First Vice-President; Mrs. John H. Louderman, Second Vice-President; Mrs. James Green, Third Vice-President; Mrs. A. Waldauer, Fourth Vice-President; Mrs. A. D. Welson, Treasurer; Mrs. Miles Sells, Secretary. There was scarcely any change in the staf of officers. A noticeable fact is the lack of changes inthe officialsofthe Home. There have been but two alterations in the Boardof Managers in ten years. The managers of the Memorial Home are building a twenty-seven-room addition to their building on Grand and Magnolia ave- nuss. The addition is three stories high.with a finished basement. The structure is of brick and when completed will contain all modern improvements. The new building will accommodate more a men, There are eighteen or twenty now on the list, and the number of applicantsis increasing. The managers have thrown themselves * on the charity of their friends for funds to complete the task which they have set them- selves. Their charity is a most deserving one, The Home offers a life berth to old men. There are now forty-two inthe Home, and the new building will double the capacity. This is the second addition to the original edifice. When the managers secured the building, it had fourteen rooms. The ladies have funds enoughto put up the walls and roof them over, and they will call on the charitably inciined to do all the finishing. Women’s Christian Association.

E. H. sothern will begin his fifth an- — on Monday, Jan. 11. in eory Arthur Jones’ play, The Dancing — play has created a good deal of discus- shod both in England ano in New York, where it bas been running at the Lyceum Theater guring the summer. The verdict has been that it isa decided success. Manager Daniel rrohman presents it here with the same de- tall that characterized its production. The part of the Duke of Guisebury, which Mr. gothern plays, and which in London was gone by Beerbohn Tree, is different from those in which the young stay has been pre- viously seen. It is said to be a strong part, unding in saturnine humor, and while having laugh producing speeches, there is also an underlying vein of pathos which af- fords opportunities for marked contrast. whe Duke of Guisebury while visiting his estates in Endellion meets Drusilla Ives, the daughter of one of his Inaber tenants. rnoknown to her relatives and friends she nas been a dancer in London and leads a gay Ile. The Duke is infa tuated with her, but re- fuses to marry her. Through extravagance and high living he gets into financial straits, and proposing to Drusilla is rejected on ac- count of his poverty. The Duke becomes eynical and determines to comuait suicide. He gives a supper. to his gay friends and in the midst of the fun the aged father of Drusilla appears, and after a powerful scene, in which be de- nounces her surroundings, commands her to come with him. When she refuses he up- praids, and finally casts her off and rushes out. She then goes out, followed by all the guests, who are shocked at the scene, and the Duke is left alone. He 18 about to take poison, when he is prevented by a young girl whose life he had once saved, and who through gratitude and love for him has been watching him from a distance. The play ends happily by the final marriage of this girl to the Duke, and news is brought of the death of Drusilla in a foreign country. rhe cast comprises twenty people, and the principal members are essentially the same ashave been seen during Sothern’s trips, and includes Messrs, Morton Selten, Roland Ruckstone, Harry Eytinge, Wrizht Hunting- ton and the Misses Virginia Harned, Jennie Dun ar, Mrs. Katie Pattison-Selten, Jennie Kennark and others, On account of the leneth of the play the curtain will rise each evening promptly at 6 o'clock. > > > Margaret Mather in an elaborate produc- tion ot Joan of Arc’’ and other plays will be he ettraction at the Grand pera-house this week. Her tragedy, ‘‘Joanof Are, Is said to be very nearly identical in text, scenery an | accessories with the famous Porte St. Martin production where the tragedy ran six months successfully with Mme. Bernbardtin the title role. The story told by Jules Barbiere is but little different fromthe generally accepted traditions and history of Joan’s life, and is interesting in its development. Barblere takes up Joan’s ca- reerather home in Domremy and conducts herthrough the scene at Chinon, where she convinces Charles VII. that he should prose- cute the war, through the battle of Orleans and the coronation at Khelms, und her final inearceration and death atthe stake. The scenic settings are said to be elaborate and historically correct, the costumes beautiful and appropriate and the environments of the tragedy as close to per- fection as possible. The company is a strong one, composed of twenty-five rsons, umong whom are Otis Skinner, well known here, Joseph E. Whiting, H. A.

Here are some of their ‘‘roasting’’ comments: „It is without plot, incident or intrigue.’’ Every scene is unnatural and inconsistent with the rules, the laws of nature and the drama.’’ There is not a natural stroke in the whole lay, but the young fellow giving the stolen ewels tothe mother supposing her to be the ndlady.’’ „The drift tends to no moral, no edification of any kind; the situations, however, are well imagined and make one laugh in spite of the grossness of the dialogue, the forced wit- ticisms and total improbability of the whole plan and conduct.“ Yet the play still survives after 100 years, and it is said that Stuart Robson has never met with greater success than in his rich revival of this comedy. It is said to be a beautiful production, but St. Louisans can test this statement at the Grand next week. Coulisse Chat.

The laughable result of her Iago reflects only upon Miss Prescott’s judgment, upon her dramatic talent. born a fairly good actress, Miss Prescott was necessarily made When she was thereby forever prevented shell Hes the secret of her failure of Tuesday Besides this, also, when Shakspeare breathed life into lago, he gave tothe world a character which no woman could ever hope That cool and relentless man, with nerves of steel, heart ofice, a brain that schemed, with the certainty of clock- work to accomplish its desires,and a firm hand that rather liked the wet touch of blood, was masculine inevery cruel fiber of his being. He was less womanly than Othello, Othello was at least emotional. Cushman used t lay Iago sometimes, and nature had given her a man’s figure and face,and the dramatic force.

H18 SUCOESSFUL REVIVAL OF GOLD SMITH’S “SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER.” His Cheracterization of Tony Lampkin One of His Strongest Efforts—Ropson’s Presentation of the Play Considered a Matter of Historic Importance. Special Correspondence SUNDAY Post-DIspaTcu. Oma, Jan. 9.—Stuart Robson’s admira- ble production of she Stoops to Conquer’’ atthe Chicago Opera-house is an event of historic and lively ihterest, to celebrate which a numerous and representative body of play-goerscame forward. This comedy, and plays that are entitled to take rank with it, though few in number, provide the thea- ter with one of its best reasons for being, and a study of them in the light that shone upon them first is always a pleasant pastime. Thus the true lover ofthe acted drama finds fas- cination in the history of so noble and orig- inala creationas modest Oliver Goldsmith’s great comedy. She Stoops to-Conquer’’ was first acted in London in 1778, at Covent Garden. The manager of that historic theater was George Coiman, the elder, who was with extreme diMicuity inauced to give it a production. At rehearsals he continually threw water on it, and had it not been for the sturdy and loyal battling of Dr. Johnson in poor Goldy’s be- half, it would not, in all likelihood, have seen the light during the author’s life. When it was fnally acted, it was with the meagerest embellishments and a picked-up company, several of Colman’s actors having contemptuously ro- fused the parts that were offered them. Chief ofthese were Smith, who declined young Marlow which was taken up by Lewis, and Woodward, who threw away the oppor- tunity of his life in Tony Lumpkin and made way for Quick, whouptothattime was un- known. Doran’s record of the new histor- ical event contains this significant para- graph: **The one comedy of this period which hag gloriously survived all the rest is Gold- smith’s * She Stoopsto Conquer.’ It was so natural that those who did not despair doubted of it; and the author himself had not the courage to belive in its success, though Dr. Johnson and a faithful few alone argued triumph. After a world ok dimeculty the night of performance arrived at last—the 15th of March, 1773. From the Shakspeare Tavern Johnson led a band of friends to Covent Garden, where he sat in the front ofa side box, and as he laughed the applause increased, It came, that triumph,and to a rare son of genius; one who showed that drollery was compatible with decency, and that high comedy could exist without, scoundrerly fine gentlemen to support it. Goldsmith did not venture to go down to Covent Garden till the fifth act was on. The professional critics of the hour were no whit wiser or more just than Manager Col- man, whose opposition to the play seems to have rested on vanity, for he appeared to be anxious for fallure tn order that his original Misjudgment might be sustained. This isa manifestation of human nature that has not yet gone out of fashion. One especially sa pi- ent critic wrote: It is without plot, incident orintrigue. Fvery scene is Unnatural and inconsistent with the rules, the laws of nat- ure and the drama,’’ Another wise fool thus delivered himself: The drift tends to no moral, no edification ot any kind, What disgusts me most is, that though the characters are very gross and alm at low humor, not one of them says a sentence that is natural, oy marks any char- acter at all. The edition of she Stoops to Conquer,“ which was printed for F. Newberry in Sst, Paul’s Churchyard,’ in 1778, the very year in which it was first acted, contains this charac- teristic dedication: To Samuel Johnson, LL. D.: — without impalring the most unaffected iety. N 1 have cular reason to thank you for your par- tiality to this performance. The undertaking a com- edy not merely sentimental was very dangerous, and Mr. Colman, who saw this piece in its various si ages, thought so, too. However, I ventured to trust it to the public; ard a5 it was necessarily delayed till late In the season, I have every reason to be grateful. lam, dear sir, Your most sincere friend and admirer, OLIVER GOLDSMITH.

EN A LICENSE. ey Avenue Residents Make an Inef- fectual Ficht Against a Saloon. gIEGENHEIN FINDS REASONS TO (pk WITH THE LIQUOR ELEMENT. pea! Estate Agent Dufty’s Creation of One Foot Lot Taxpayers Proves a Success- ſul Move—Indignant Property Owners and Collector Ziegenhein Have Their gay About the Matter. e Collector has granted a licenge to the Marre brothers to run a saloon on Finney avenue and Sarah street with the assurance that they will not be @istarbed until after nted them to sell liquor when, according to the Collector's own statement, a license was not nesessary until next July, or at least another license could have been issued with- out putting the saloon keepers to the trouble of getting another petition in favor of their galoon, as the old petition would have served . se just as well. The seventeen one foot lots had a powerful influence in the case, and the spirit of the law, it not the letter of » violated, as there are seventeen ist and about fifteen of those the saloon are put down tor a one foot lot because they are friends of the owner of the property and the saloon- keeper and not because they are interested through being residents or owners in the block. Nominally the seven- teen taxpayers on the petition do own the one foot lots, but practically they do not, and would create a great stir in the saloon ranks should they attempt to sell to out- siders the property deeded to them. INDIGNANT CITIZENS. The opponents to the saloon make several claims, which are denied by the Oollector, andare pretty mad overthe way they have hoon treated. They assert that the Collec- tor’soffice has sided all the Way through with the saloons and treated the anti-saloon gide as if was not worthy of consideration, pr. James L. Day, who is an active opponent to the saloon, said: “We have canvassed the whole block very carefully, and have found that those people are not entitled to the license, as their peti- tion does not show the required number of names. Inthe first place, take the residents who, though they are not legally recognized, are the most Interested, Of these there are 149 In the block, and 118 of them are opposed saloon. They simply show the of the people, and, unfor- unately, have no weight in this ase. Then we und 31 taxpayers n favor of the saloon and 54 opposed to it. he petition shows 44 in favor of the saloon and when we objected to some ofthe names he Collector ignored our objections ana left nem on. In fact nothing we could say or do seemed to have the slightest influence on the Collector and I could see all the time that he had made up his mind to give them the license anyhow, ldon’t see what we can do now exceptto submitto the rulingof the Coliector, As to Mr, Wurtgburger he was very forward about matters and chipped ina word whenever he got a chance. He is with the saloon people and is one of them, all of his efforts were inthe direction of de- fending the saloon Keepers and doing all he could to forward their interests.“ Collector Zelgenhein was seen at his office and there an examination of the petition was made. The reporter not being familiar with the names of the residents and property owners had to take it fer granted that the names were all of taxpayers within the prescribed lIlmits, The seventeen owners of the seventeen one-foot lots were grouped together making up the total of forty-seven siznatures. The Collector's figures on the proportions are taxpayers, seventy-five; signers to petition, forty-seven; leaving only twenty-two taxpayers opposed to the saloon. Now these figures do not tally with those of position, and both sides assert that ; took all their data from the books of the werder. /eigenhein, after explaining the peti- and the figures, proceeded to ‘‘back ‘asit were. Hesaid: ‘Il am simply complying with the law andcan do nothing eise. 1 have even gone out of my way to test those Opposed tothe saloon. It was not necessary for Mr. Duffy to get a neu pe- Ion until July 4 (in referring to the saloon interest Mr. Zeigenhein used the name of Mr. Duffy, but Il had him get up another petition on Jan. 4 Just to please the opposition, Those whoare opposing him are simply spiteful and have no right to protest. ‘The names on the petition all belong there ording to law and represent a majority of ‘ak payers, and l think it is about time eeta little revenue out of that block, as \ of lsY residents only seventy-five pay The opposition is repre- Fented by people who live on other blocks ane by those who pay no taxes.

A NEW LYMPH, Which It Ie Hopsa Will Oura Tuber culosis, Just Received in This Country. New York, Jan. 9.—Preparations are being made for trying the new. cure for consump- tion at St. Mark’s Hospital in this city, The first sample of the new lymph arrived at this port on Wednesday. The medical profession will watch the results with interest, as well as hundreds of thousands suffering from consumption or threntened by it. The newly discovered remedy is called **Koch’s lymph with Kiebs’ improvement.’’ It is the invention of Prof. Edward Klebs of Zurich, Switzerland, a well-Known bacter'i- Ologist, and a friend of Prof. Koch. For some months it has been heralded as scarcely less important in a medical sense than the discovery of Koch’s lymph. The day the first botties of Koch’s lymph reached America was regarded asa red-letter day in the medical history of the country. The bulk of the professional men were cau- tious astoits merits, and warned people against placing too much confidence in it. Prof, Koch himself said tt was far from per- fect, and tried in vain to stop the indiscrim- mate Booming which he was wetting. hut the mystery surrounding the lymph and the jealous care with which it was peudled out provoked public curiosity. When the first experiments were tried here the lymph was regarded as a humbue be- cause it did not do all that was expected of it. Jonservative doctors, who knew the limits of Prof. Koch’s claims, Said it wasa valuable discovery, but the lymph craze died out as suddenly as it began, because people had entirely overestimated its importance. Now, however, it is claimed that Prof. Rlebs has perfected or ‘‘purified’’ Koch’s lymph. Dr. George W. Rachel of st. Mark’s Hos- pitel, says: Dr. Kiebs is a well-known European bac- teriologist and has been for some time past experimenting with Koch’s lymph with a view to its purification. The most serious objection against the lymph was the fever which it Caused in the patient. The fever would last for a few days and then die out, but as soon as the Injection of lymph was in- creased the fever revived again. This was the result of some deleterious substance in the lymph, and Prof. Klebs set himself about removing it. His experiments have lasted over several months and were reported in the Eurc pean medical journals trom time to time. Late in the fall he finally succeeded and the work was dGescribed at length ina German medical publication. Prof. L. Klebs used Koch’s lymph and J 9 it dy his oon process. It is this ymph purified by him, which has arrived here, the first instainieht to reach America, although others, I believe, will now arrive. We have three consumptive patients now ih the hospital and the lymph will be tried upon them as soon as it is passed through the cus tom-house. This will be during the next few days and a week or two must elapse before its operation will be fully known. Ihe new lymph is in 10 per cent and 20 per cent solutions, and while it is being tried frequent reports will be sent to Prof. Klebs as to the progress ofthe patients. This he requires in all cases.

KICKED CONKLING AND MOST. A Horse anda Mule Disfisured the Two Men. Written for thé SUNDAY POstT-DISPATCH. Herr Most was kicked inthe face by a mule early in life, and becamearabid Anarchist. Roscoe Conkling when a young man was kicked in the face by a horse and became one of the foremost statesmen of his time. It may be interesting to the thinker to study what might have been the effect had Most been kicked by the horse and Conkling by the mule. Would this transposition of kicks have transferred the Senator from New York into noisy-mouthed follower of the red flag, ald obliged him to wear whiskers to conceal the prints of the animai’s hoofs, and would a kick from a horse have made Herr Most a desirabie citizen? If there is Virtue in the hind foot of a horse when projected against the face and head of a young man, why dian't fate allow a horse to kick Most in any event, and why have so many prominent men of our time been allowed to remain unkicked up to the present day? While the student is thinking over this matter, it will be-of interest to Know that it was this kick of a horse that was responsible for the chatacteriseanl haughty expression of Senator Conkling’s face which led to the application to him by Mr. Blaine in the course of hn wordy war in the Senate, of the epithet turkey cock. The pastel picture of Roscoe Conkling whieh has attracted so much attention where it hangs onthe wall of a much frequented salon in the Hoffman House, was done by Charles De Bodisco Templeman. It was at the Continental Hotel in Phiia- delphia that Templeman first met Senator Conkling. The latter having arrived late and received an unsatisfactory room, the artist offered to exchange apartments. After some persuasion MF. Conkling accepted the courtesy, and from that time forward the young artist, who had come to New York to make a name for himself, had no warmer friend in the metropolis. So it naturally caine about that Templeman should do Conk- Ung's portrait. Mr. Conkling Was notoriously averse to having a pbofograph taken and was too sey | a man to sit for one had he the inclination. It is related of him thatthe best photograph ever made of him, done by a well-known artist in Washington, was the result of a per- sonal request on the part of his favorite bar- ber there, a colo man, who had enjoyed his confidence and friendship for years. It was not very long beforethe great Uti- can’s death, the holiday Beason immediately receding, that the tonsoria! artist asked his onored customer one Morning how he was feeling. Mr. Conkling was in Washington at the time in utteidance on atrial in the Su- reme Court, He observed that he was feel- fig nthe barber retort- ed, ou looking better and 1 do wish you would have your picture taken for me.

Opening Week ‘of the New Year in Wall Street. AN ENORMOUS TRADE IN BONDS AND STOCKS. Increased Desire for Investments in Rail- way Securities—Reduction in the Float- ing Supply of Securities—Bulls Control the Market—Ths Bank Statement for tne Week. New York, Jan. 9.—The opening week of the new year in Wall street was an extraordl- nary one in many respects. Such activity has not been witnessed for a long time, both bonds and stocks having been tradedin to an enormous extent. The former showed the effect of the increased desire for investments in railway securities, the natural result of the favorable outlook of the trans- portation interests generally in consequence satisfac- tory prices. One important fact which should not be lost sight of is the reduction in They are being steadily salted away by persons of means who think of nothing else than the incOme Which their holdings may bring to This serves a double purpose for the reason that it makes the handling of the residue of stocks and bonds a less difficult matter. The bulls right now have the mar- ket well under control, Theyare in a posi- tion to put prices down orup at will, for the public is fickle and is easily swayed from one side to the other on purely sentimental grounds. Probably the best indication hed of the broadetiing character of speculation was the material advance in prices last week for certain stocks in the face of tremendous realizations and natural re- action in others. At tntervals there was marked weakness in Louisville & Nashville, the Trunk lines and some of the Grangers, which previously led the upward movement. The turning of paper profits into cash was done by wholesale and the profes- sionals were not slow to take ad- vantage of the fact. The first intimation the street received that certain interests were working to reduce their fol- lowing and at the same time recoup the stock they had sold, was furnished by a slump in Chicago Gas on Thursday from 80 to 73. This Was suceeded by an attack on Distilling and Cattle feeding and later by raids on other shares, notably New England, Louisville, Atchison, Union Pacific and That the instigators of the assault were not fully satisfied wicli their efforts was plainly | shown by thelr maneuvers after the publiica- tion of the bank statement yesterday, when, despite the increase in reserves, the favor. ites were vigorously sat upon. New England was depressed over two points, although its closing prices, 50%, showed a net gain for the week of about 7 per cent. An immense block ofthe stock has been pur- chased by capitalists, who are not in the habit of loading up with a view of selling out ata few points profit. The advent of the Messrs. Corbin and Parsons, the former noted for his building upa Long Island rail road, and the latter for his reha- bilitation of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg, into thé management of the New England has produced quite a sensation in railroad as well as stock circies. It is re- garded as an assurance that all the capital for the double tracking and equipment needed to place the road in a post- tion to handle the increased traffic which is expected to follow from the combination with the Long Isiand, Jer- sey Central and other lines will be forth- coming atthe propeftime. The idea of an absorption of the New Kngland by the New York, New Engiand & Hartford is scouted by friends allied with Mr. Corbin. They claim that the soie objective point is to make the Kew England a to the New Iiaven in well as in naine, by application of sound business methods. The stock of the company Will be subject to More or less fluc- tuation while the improvements con'tem- piated are being carried into execution, and holders on slender Margins may be worried into selling, but in certain quarters the be- lief obtains thatit will eventually take higher rank than it has held in the past. The bank statement was favorable, show- ing a gain in reserve of $1,729,015, which brings the surplus beld in excess of iegal re- quirements up to $18,061,525. The gain would have been larger, as cash and legal ten- ders were upto $4.520,100, had it not been for the further expansions In loans of $5,673,- 500 and the increase in deposits of $11,164,100. The banks gained heavily both from the Treasury and through the interior currency movement. The Treasury paid out $4,470,326 for interest alone, $54,955 for silver bullion and $860,862 for pensions. Custom receipts, however, were larger, footing up $3,322,876. There were no arrivals of gold from Europe during the week, something which has hot happened since September last. The net payments of the Sub-Treasury for the week covered by the exhibit were $19,427,000 and the net receipts $16,646,000. THE DE GEAR TRAGEDY, The Coroner’s Investigstion of the Mys terlous Tragedy Not Yet Ended. The De Gear shooting case Is still claiming a great deal of Deputy Coroner Meade’s at- tention and its still as much ofa mystery as on Friday night, when it was discovered that the wounds that caused De Gear’s death could hardly have been self-inflicted. On Friday night it was discovered that several shirts, a couple of collars and a pair of slippers belon ng to A. 8. Tinbets, a barkeeper at 51 orth Third street, were secreted in Mrs. De Gear’s apartments at 2821 Franklinaveuue. The discovery of the articles 1 tothe supposi- tion that Tebbets might at least know some- thing about the shooting and he was ques- tioned by the police. e readily addmited that he had sustained intimate relations with Mrs. De Gear, but proved that he had left the woman’s rooms at an eariy hour, on Monday last, the day of the shooting, and had remained at his place of business all day, proving a complete alibi, as the shoot - ing took place about 1 o’clock in the after- noon. The iatest development in the case since the establishment of the murder theory is the discovery of the fact that De Gear was in- sured for $2,000 in Olive Branch, No. 812, Knights of Honor, the insurance being in favor of Martha L. De Gear. The insurance was effected on Varch 27, 1891, last. De Gear’s real name is ascertained to be Joseph La Rose, and he hailed from Syfa- cuse, N. Y., where his mother now lives. Here he has gone by the name of Charles J. De Gear. The De Gear woman is said to have been married to De Gear a year ago. The name of her former husband was Page, and she is more generally known as Mrs. Mattie Page. Mr. La Rose, the mother, has made inquiries about the insurance money, and ascertained that Mrs. Ve Gear ts the beneficiary.

He exonorated Tebbets, who isaquiet and peaceable man. The testi mony of Isle Nealey, the colored woman who was working for Mrs. De Gear when the shooting took place, Was of little impor. tance. She testified that she Was sent out of the house by Mrs. De Gear just prior to the shooting and was scrubbing an outhouse at the time.

The apparatus necessary for our experi- ment consists of a curtain-rod A (fig. 1), which terminates ina button C, that can be screwed off and on at will, with a similar stationary button B at the other end. A wooden ball B, perfectly solid, with a hole through the center through which the rod is pushed is the second objeét. After these articles have been séparately shown to and examined by the spectators, the operator borrows three rings, which he wraps in a paper and deposits the little parcel before the eyes of the spectators oa the top of a tumbler placed upside-down on the tate. g The ball is then slip on to the rod and the adjustable button © ig screwed to the end and the two extremisties are held in the hands of any spectator that choses to offer to Go this service (fig. 2) in such a manner tha it seems impossible for the ball to be remove ges his 1 tatgt s done the pres tator raises the handkerchief with poe he has tiv eree the li with one hand and lifts the ball with the her, both movements Using simultaneous, The three rings a have been sup- littie parcel on 9 eoncea in the op of the ta bier V. . xcept that it is i Bg 1 en th wer is * inst tton N (A. 3 which is visible to the eyes tlie spectat In turning lis back upon his audience as he goes back to the table, he slips the rings into hree small wrooves inside the ball, eloses it, nceals the latter again in his left hand and withthe magic wand won, in this arme case as in many others, serves as a very con- venient excuse for holding the hand closed.

ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM THE GREAT CARBONATE CAMB, An Important Strike Made in Iowa Gulch —The Gordon Gold Mine—S'rike in the Black Venus—Work on the Carbonate— Local Mining Notes. LFEAPVILLE, Colo., Jan. 9.—An important Strike has just been made in the Doris on Iowa Gulch. This consists of about five feet of oxidized ore and was caught in a drift run from the 180-foot level of the new shaft. It is without doubt the eastern edge of the ore chute from which the Frank people have been shipping, and is evidently much wider than was first thought. The ore carries about forty ounces of silver, half an ounce of gold and about 13 per cent of lead to the ton. A company has just been formed in Denver to run the Gordon gold mine in the Twin Lake mining district. This mine has been thor- oughly opened by tunnels and shafts, and the ore, in addition to being very rich in free gold, preserves its oxidized character toa depth of at least &0 feet from the outcrop of the vein, which is rather a singular geological fact, as nearly ali of these fisstires in granite change to a sulphide as depth is gained. This is a thoroughly mineralized district, and as this company is a very strong One, milis will be built, and all of this work will give an impetus to mining there. STRUCK TELLURIDE ORE. The Black Venus has struck a streak of telluride of bismuth and Silver that promises to turn outa Dig thing upon further develop- ment. Some lessees have been doing a lot of work inthe May Queen and near the north line of the Forest City of the Small Hopes Co. have now disclosed a streak Of carbonate ore, rest- ing on a sheet of intrusive gray porphyry that will average about fifty ounces of silver to the ton. Shipments are about beginning from this and it is thought that it will open up well, as the porphyry sheet is probably the same one upon which the Mahala finds its ore body of 30 feet in thick- ness. Drifting on the Hard Cash, which had been going on fromthe bottom or 180-foot level, was suspended for a time, and a diamond drill put into operation. This went down th rough the regular stratification for 160 feet, where it broke into a fine mass of contgct stuff. Though carrying but littie silver at the point where struck, this mass indicates the near presence of an ore chute, and a large hoisting plant isto be at once substi- tuted for thesmall affair now over this siaft, and sinking will be resumed, While this is going forward, the driits that are being run to develop the Double Decker and the Del Monte will again be resumed, as the location of this shaft is such as to admit of the open- ing up of these three properties. NEWS FROM THE CARBONATE. The main incline on the ‘ arbonate of the Leadville Consolidated property is now doing extremely well and a considerable amount of ood ore is being shipped tromit, while the Thompson shait, on the north end, working inalime channel ore chute, has just met with another body of one that runs very high in silver. Connections areto be made with the ground of ore of the lesseeson the main Ae level), through which connec- tion and by the Thompson shaft all ores may be hoisted to the surface. Several important changesare to be made in the workings of the Iron Silver. Mining Co. very soon and some have already been made in the management at this point. Mr. G. B. Huntley, a mining engineer from Call- fornia of experience, has assumed the man- agement of the underground workings, concentrating milis, ete., though Mr. W. Arens still retains the position of financial agent, making all ore contracts, and settling for allsales. Two diamond drilis are to go on the property, though no particular point has as yet been settled upon forthe initial effort. Ihe changes in the plant will be more in the line of increase in the capacity than otherwise, and electricity will play an im- portant part. The White Cap people have completed their connection between the main shaft and the Imes lime channel ore chutes on the north end, the drift to effect this being in the neighborhood of 1,500 feet in length. Tracks have been lald and shipments will now be resumed, the ore being a most desirable one, lead carbonate running well ia sliver. The Local Market. There was little trading on the Mining Exchange, but prices were firm. The long lethargy of La Union was broken by a sale Of 2,000sharesat2. This is the first sale made for several months, Central Silver opened with a sale of 600 shares at 18%. Subsequently 16 was bid, with 1442 asked. Elizabeth was strong, 100 shares selling at 75. 8 The following circular has been issued by the Silver Age NN, Co: ‘ On June 10, 1890, this company issued bonds to the amount of $50,000, secured by a mort- age on all of its property.

mi. @ pire. St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, January 10, 1892. * DEMOCRATS HOPING Illinois Is No Longer a Sure Republi- can State. IT WILL FIGURE AS DOUBTFUL IN FORE- CASTS FOR 1892. Coming Meeting of Republican Chiefs at Chicago—Candidates Ars Confident— Basis Upon Which the Opposition Hopes Are Founded—Already the Lines ot Battle Are Being Drawn Up. SPRINGFIELD, III., Jan. 9.—Attorney- General Hunt, who is now in Washington to argue the cas ot the Anarchists betore the Supreme Court, has openly announced himself asa candidate for the Governorship. He will not be present at the Republican love feast in Chicago on the 14th inst., but bis representa- tives there will look after his interest. Con- sidering that so many candidates are in the field for that office, Fifer and Olark and Hunt and Jones and others, it is not expected that the meeting there will be such a feast of love as some may be led to expect. Pavey is de- termined to succeed himself as Auditor, but , he will have some healthy opposition. Still he will have the inside track and he will use all the forces at his command tothe utmost extent. Fifer is still confident, but Judze Wilkin of the Supreme Court is being boomed against him over in the Fifteenth District. There is much uneasiness of late in the Re- publican ranks because of a well-grounded belief that there isa plot in Washington to disrupt the party by sacrificing the State ticket for the purpose of making gains in the presidential contest, It is thought that a German should be placed in nomination for an important place, and it u urged that he should be entitled tothe Treasuryship, but as Tanner bas a kind of a mortgage on that office it is thought best to give the German the Auditorship as against Pavey, and that German will come from Chicago. Every eye at present is fixed upon Chicago at the meet- ing already mentioned. There the plans will be laid out, the various candidates selected, aud from that date—the l4th—the war will be fairly on. The Democrats insist that with all wen laid — the Republicans the State will go tic in this year of 1892. There are no openly announced candidates on their part for any office as yet, except that of Governor, and for that office the candidates are numer- ous. These are Adlai Stevenson, Gen. Biack, A. J. Hunter, Judge Altgeld, Crofts and many more who are expected to come to the front before long. ALTON NOTES. — — Ravages of La Grippe— Many Deaths Among Old People.

The Meeting Yesterday Very Enthusias- tio—A Big Advance in Business on the East Side—General Prosperity Plainly Observable—What Has Been Done and Plans Afoot—Belleville News. Pursuant to a call issued by a committee regularly appointed two weeks ago by the produce raisers of the section contiguous to East St. Louis, a meeting was held yesterday afternoon in the Court- room at the City Hall to discuss the prospect of establishing a market on the east side of the river. The farmers mani- fested their interest in the enterprise by attending the meeting in numbers. They packed the City Court-room before the meet- ing opened, at least 250 of them being in attendance. The meeting was called to order at 2 p. m. by Mayor Stephens, who stated the object for which it was called, anda chairman was elected in the person of Jules C. Jarvis, a prominent farmer of Centerville Station. Hon. Nicholas Bone, one of this county 's representatives in the Legisiature, who ie also a prominent farmer of Center- ville Station, was made secretary. A report was made by the committee which called the meeting, in which it was stated that the members, in accordance with their instructions, had visited St. Louis and en- deavored to induce commission men doing business there to establish a market in East St. Louis; that they had met with little or no encouragement and were satisfied that the produce handlers of st. Louis did not favor their project. They had offered suggestions to va- rious parties who either showed a lack of in- terest in the proposed market, or declared straight out that they would have nothing to do with it. Mayor Stephens, who returned = yes- terday morning from Chicago, reported that the object of his trip was to interest produce handlers in that city in the movement inaugurated by the farmers of St. Clair County. He said he had met with every encouragement, and thought there would be no difficulty in inducing Chicago parties to go into the scheme. The com- mission men with whom he consulted mani- fested great interest in the proposed market and said without hesitation that they would be willing to take hold ofit. He had been given to understand that their interest was sincere and that they would consider the matter more fully if they were given figures to show the amount of produce raised in this section to be mar- keted. Mayor Stephens, W. J. Broderick, Thomas L. Fekete, H. D. Sexton, J. T. McCasiand and J. R. Miller of Caseyville made speeches in which they gave their views of the matter, allof them being heartily in favor of the es- tablishment of the market. A proposition was received from John Trendley to establish and maintain a market ata point on the Belleville rock road near the Belt Ratlway, a short distance out of the city. Hestated that he, with another per- son who would be associated with him, but whose name he did not give, would furnish the ground (the Trendley farm) erect the buildings, put up scales, build ratlroad switches and maintain the market at their own expense. H. D. Sexton stated that he had two propo- sftions to make in behalf of others, and would submit ‘them in writing tothe com- mittee later. He did not state the proposition in the meeting. J. T. McCasiand offered a proposition to furnish site for the market on Walnut street near Tenth, alongside the Alr Line track. The ground, he said; had a total frontage of 809 feet not been retarded as it might have been had the moneyed men of the city clung to their dollars with the old fogy fear of financial loss, that prevents the capitalists of some places from bullding up cities and their own fortunes. On the contrary they have shown themselves not only enterprising but public spirited and generous and the benefits derived have been evenly distributed. Business men are given dally assurances in the way of in- creased trade that they have made no mis- take in enlarging accommodations, and the capitalists have been rewarded by realizing good returns on their investments, rents — more than satisfactory. For this year the prospects are brighter than ever. The new manufacturing and other institutions being established, and the in- crease of capacity at many old establish- ments, will have the effect of largely in- creasing the population of the city, and such a result, ofcourse, cannot fail to expand trade. One manufactory, the Malleabie Iron worksin Denverside, is expected to bring not less than 5,000 people to the city. These works are almost completed and will be in Operation early inthe year. When in full operation they will employ between 1,500 and 2,00 men. Ihe burning of the new glass- works several days azo was a serious setback to the city, but its effects will only be temporarily felt, as the company will rebuild atonce. Then there is every probability that the current year will see either the establishment of an immense new packing house at the stock yards or the enlargement of the one at present in operation there to double or treble The St. Louis Steel Co. 's works on St. Clair avenue are to be doubied in capacity before next summer, and anumber of other manufactories are either increasing or preparing to increase facilities. Business men of known judgment and fore- sight predict that the expansion of trade in Kast St. Louis during the current year will be sufficient to astonish the conservative. NOTES.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR. The most prosperous year ever known in East St. Louis was the one just closed. Busi- ness men, professional men and workingmen of all classes found trade and employ- ment in plenty. This bids fair to surpass odds in this particular. increase in trade of last year is thoughtto have been only the beginning. Improvements and ex- pansion in public and private channels have taken placeon every Rand during the past few months in a greater degree than ever before, and it is thought that these signs of increase are positive indications of a highly augmented volume of trade for the current year. The business men who have not been shrewd enough to foresee the com- ing expansion are few indeed, and even they are fast being brought to a realizing sense of the situation. Many awoke to a perception of the indications weeks and months ago, and have been for some time making reparations in accoriiance. Thisis especially true of mer- chants and tradesmen who foresaw that their facilities must be extended and have made haste to secure more commo- dious and convenient locations than they have hitherto occupied. The business changes of this character have been very numerous of late. Merchants who leased or rented store-rooms that were hitherto amply capacious forthe volume of trade they en- joyed, have moved into the new buildings which have been going up every- where in the central part of the city, and those who owned the places they occupied have either enlarged or rebuilt, as the circumstances justified them in doing. This disposition onthe part of the tradesmen has found favor withthe men of capital, and they have not hesitated to in- vest their money in new business butld- ings. The consequence has been that the enlargement of trade facilities has Rev.

A member of one of the large down- town posts is, he supposed, soliciting a sol- dier for membership, but the latter lives so far from the post room that he is discouraged at the thought of ever attending and sohe declines to go in, and the order loses a re- cruit. But suppose, says Commander Puray, 'the comrade would say: Well, if you can’t join our post, go into Elwood Miller Post, right in your peighborhood.’ But comrades never think of anything but building up their own posts, whereas they Ought to be looking out for the interests of the order at large.

Count ankaLos, Kan., Jan. 9.—Gen. Murray Mrers of the State Militia arrived in Arkalon th - afternoon in response to an order from cor. Humphrey. He left at once for Spring- feld tojointhe troops stationed there and to advise with the Adjutant-General in arge, The General has been Kept well seed concerning the situation of affairs 10 re, and delleves from the infermation ne has had that the exigencies of the occa- on demand that Seward and Stevens eounties be placed under martial law. An investigation on the ground, he says, might cause him to change nis opinion. The Adjutant-General has al- ready reached the conclusion of Gen. Myers, and itis probable that when the two officers talk the matter over to-night, they will ad- vise the Governor what isthe best thing to do under the circumstances. Gen. Myers commanded the troops that were sent to 1988, and is thoroughly factional fight that has stevens County in famillar with the avain broken out. Judee Botkin arrived on the train with Gen. Myers on his return from the funeral of the murdered Sheriff Dunn at Pratt. The still carried his trusty rifie on his accompanied by the four friends. also armed, who went with him from this city.

He stated that he would notattemptto open court at Santafe, Tuesday, but that he would send word to that place that the adjourned term would not be heid. He will, however, open courtat Springfield Monday morning, and in Hugoton, Stevens County, one week from next Tuesday. 18 HE THE ery? He was informed for the first time upon his arrival here that Robert Hutchison of Has- kell County had been arrested. This inter- ested him greatiy, and he manifested the only signs of excitement during his brief stay here’’’ ‘Where have they put him?’’ he asked hurriedly. When told that Hutchison was with the other prisoners in Springfield, he hat will never do. That man was all that stood between me and the grave.

Mrs. Graves was in delirium when he entered, for Tom. „Tom is coming back to see me, she moaned, pitifully. ey have not hung him. He is still alive, and I shall see him again. His Kitty knows that he is innocent. They have lied about him. »The condemned man rushed to his wife’s bed-side, ‘with tears in his eyes, and ex- claimed: ‘*Here I am, Kitty; I have come to see and was calling Graves did not at first recognize her husband. She was in delirium, The doctor’s mother was in the next room. She had not been permitted to see her daughter-in-law since her Umess took such a serious turn. She was informed of the presence of her son by Deputy Sheriff Fritz. She did not know that the prisoner was to be brought to the Vallejo. The order of the court, extending the privilege tothe doctor, of visiting his wife and mother, was made on the request of Mr. Furman, his counsel, as it was stated that the meetings might result in restoring her fad- ing reason. When the aged mother met her son there was another affecting scene with tears and sobs. But the condemned man shed more tears than did the trem- bling mother, who rested on his breast. The only word the doctor spoke was mother!“ About this time the wife appeared to awake from the delirium that had affiicted her. She saw and recognized her husband. She spoke his name, Tom, with an intonation which told of the return of reason. The doctor hurried to her side, gathered her impul- sively in hisarmsand both wept. A moment later, Under Sheriff Ferguson said, there was not a dry eye in the room. After their emotions had been in part brought under control, Dr. Graves begged fora short, pri- vate interview with his wife. If for but five minutes, he asked that the request be granted, It was with great difficulty that the sheriff refused this, but his duty com- pelled it. However, all the others, but Undersheriff Ferguson, were excluded, and he made a solemn pledge never to reveal the conversa- tion between the convicted husband and his wife. For fifteen minutes the three remained in the room, Mrs. Graves again lapsed into delirium. It was some time before she was revived enough to . — her husband again. Her cries and pitiful moans could be heard in the hall below. When she did regain intelli- gence it was just before the departure of her husband for his cell. The leave-taking was a painful one. The prisoner promised that he would return soon again. The mother followed the prisoner into the hall, and when he took his leave he kissed her three times,and as he disappeared the white-haired old woman sank upon her knees. The probabilities now are that the District K Bt make no move at ‘present at least, twill prove troublesome to Co Ballou. There is no evidence except the so- called confession of Dr. Graves, and his testi mony would not have much weight in court after the s cle he presented on the stand in his own lf. Im Speaking of this mat- ter, Mr, Stevens said: **So far as a confession from Dr. Graves is concerned the State does not wantone. He has been convicted through the ordinary channels of the law.

The Paducah, Tennessee & Alabama Rall road Co’s. line has been completed as far as Hollow Rock, Tenn., a distance of ninety-two miles from Paducah, Ky., and this portion of the road is to be opened to-morrow. It is to form practicallya part of the Cairo Short Line’s system, although operated undera separate management, and will open a new leid for St. Louis trade. Trains are to be run to Nashville, Chattanoogaand Atlanta over the Hollow Rock Route, as the new route is to be called, leaving St. Louis by the Cairo Short Line and taking the Paducah, Tennes- see & Alabama Road at Paducah. At Hollow Rock the trains will take the Nashville, Chat- tanooga & St. Louis line, and the last part of the trip willbe över the East Tennessee & Georgia Road. Eventually the Alabama road is to be extended from Hollow Rock to Birmingham through Florence, As this is the most direct route to all points on the line from Paducah to Nashville, the Cairo Short Line people expect to do a good business over it, particularly in the shipment of St. Louis goods. Through tickets will be sold over the new route to-morrow, but the passengers will have to change cars at Padu- cah until the through Cargare put on. The passenger service of the St. Louis & Paducah line is to be improved in a few days by the addition of a sleeper. One of the through trains will be made a night train, leaving here in the evening and arriving at Paducah next morning. THE DE SOTO TROUBLE EXPLAINED. Some of the trainmen of the Iron Mountain road are still complaining that the De Soto officers refuse to allow them for as much overtime as they formerly did, and they seem tothink that this is a violation of an agreement made by the managers of the road with them last May. It seems that a run for a crew on the gee = Dt aia formerly three trips over e a rule, an over time was paid for the delay at each end. Recent! runs were cut down DeSoto, an was paid for by the road. Now one lay-over and it be eit applied to the Dominion for relief either by the purchase of bonds or the payment of the federal subsidy beginning next July. As the subsidy is not to be paid tiil the road is com- pleted and in running operation, the govern- ment has declinedto grant the assistance asked for, ~~. “PPE C., R. I. & r. EXTENSTON.

Mr. Day said: ‘‘Fort Worth or Dallas, it has not yet been settied definitely which, will be as far as the road will be built until the location of the deep water terminus is determined. The exten- sion now in course of construction will in- volve the building of 300 miles of track. —1 MEXICAN CENTRAL VIEWS. Mr. C. E. Miner, general manager of the passenger department of the Mexican Cen- tral Road, has received a number of very fine views taken on the Tampico and Guada- lajara branches of his road. The pictures are framed, and three of them have been laced in the show window in the Houser Buildin on Broadway and Chestnut street, where they have attracted a good deal of attention. FLOUR FOR IRELAND. The Cairo Short Line contracted yesterday with a St. Louls commission house for the shipment of 2,100tons of flour for Galway, Ireland, via New Orleans. This will be the first cargo of flour ever shipped by ral to New Orleans and then to Europe, all ship- ments heretofore having been made by water to New Orleans. RICH OR CRAZY. Gaston De Leon, Who Claims Kin to the Count of Paris. New York, Jan. 9.—A mysterious prisoner was arraigned in the Lee Avenue Police Court, Williamsburg, to-day. He was charged with beinga common vagrant and was committed for examination as to his sanity. He was neatly dressed, hada deject- ed and forlorn look and was able to speak only in broken English. Gaston De Leon is the name he bears. He is about 35 years of age. He was arrested last night on com- plaint of George M. Schoeck, who keeps a store in Willlamsburg. He came into the store on Thursday night in an exhausted condition. He sank into a chair and fainted away. Mr. Scheck was moved by his condi- tion, and after he had regained con- sciousness asked him where hecame from. Gaston replied that he came to New York on Dec. 5 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, He says e is related tothe Count of Paris. He had had nota friend in the hed.

Neal and His Followers Well Armed and Determined to Resist Capture at Any Cost—The Pursuers Vigilantly Watch- ing the Fugitives—Probable Duplica- tion of the Christmas Day Tragedy. MOBILE, Ala., Jan. 9.— For more than two months pastthe lawless escapades of the notorious Sims gang have been paraded de- fore the public inall the newspapers of the land, and although the leaders and five of hig partners in crime have had their necks broken by an outraged community, still the end has not been reached. There are others of the band of outlaws still in exist- ence and the people of that section where they reside, who have been the sufferersof their awful acts ot crime, have sworn tobe avenged. To right the terrible wrongs done them they have decided that the entire gang must be wiped out of ex- istence at whatever cost. Chfistmas eve last one of the outlaws, Con Savage, was captured and hanged, and the next day Bob Sims, the leader, and four others of the clan were treated likewise, It was thought that the terrible work of the avengers would end here, but this proved to be a mistaken idea, The whole community was aroused and the most prominent citizens of Choctaw County joined in the work and declared that it would be well to rid the section of every man who professed friendship or delleved in the teachings of the Simites. Four or five days after the hanging of Bob the avengers | desconded on John Sims, his brother, at Hut- ler, and finding evidence sufficient to prove that he was in sympathy with his brother they strung him up. his lite to do so and probably be 1 ently there was an exodus from = a who were born and * ; nee Foe 8 ee LTS So CS e aaa f Pe : 7 n I * 5 28 * * 1 4 5 . * 7 5 3 Bir tales nah ges * Sow : . 4 pre xe ox 23 7 5 ae 1 ; a . — Sees a. .

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sunday, January 10, 1892. SPAN ISH GRANTS. senator Cockrell’s Bill in Relation to the Martigny Tract. pROPERTY CLAIMED ASA PART OF THE JEFFERSON BARRACKS RESERVATION. Congress First Confirmed Martigny’s Title and Then Repudiated Ite Action—A Badly Mixed-Up Case—The Jansen Pre- Emption of 1856—Henry W. Williams Says the Survey Was Fraudulent. A bill has been introduced into the United states Senate by Senator Cockrell to release the Government’s Claim on a strip of prop- erty adjoining Jefferson Barracks on the south and another small tract in the same vi- einity, but nearer the city, and which is now in the possession of a man named Nanbauer. according to a telegram from Washington giving the provisions of Senator Cockrel)l’s pill, the first named property is described in the bim as survey 8,119 within the boundary unos given in the deed of the town of Caron- delet to the United States Oct. 25, 1854, now eatmed by the United States Govern- ment as a portion of the Jefferson Bar- yecks military reservation. It is also stated In the telegram that this survey was confirmed by act of Congress, approved July 4 js, and that Congress by this act con- farmed the original grant of the land from spain to John B. Martigny. The second tract ef land mentioned in Senator Cockrell’s bill ie stated to have been covered by a patent «sued to Wm. H. Jansen, Nov. 8, 1856, under pre-emption certificate 27,866. The bill Its substantially a quit-claim deed from the United States to the heirs and assigns of Messrs. Martigny and Jansen, and it is specifically stated that it shall not affect or impair the tithe which any other claimant may bave to the property. EJECTMENT SUITS BROUGHT. The records of the United States Circuit Court here show thatejectment suits were instituted several years ago against the present holders of the two tracts mentioned in Senator Cockrell’s bill, and that they are stin pending. Mr. Arba N. Crane represents the defendants in the suits, and when asked about them yesterday he salad that they had been continued fromtime totime and with- held from trial purposely in order to give Con- gressan opportunity torelease its claim on thetwo pieces of ground. As soon as the authorities at Washington had been placed in possession of the facts in the case, they agreed with him, Mr. Crane, that it would be an injustice tothe defendants to push the suits and an order was given that the papers be allowed to quietly restin their respective pizeon-holes until Congress acted in the matter, OLD SPANISH GRANT. It appears from Mr. Orane’s statements and from Mr. Henry W. Williams, th title examiner, that John * Martigny was a citizen of Carondelet some hundred and more years ago. For services in spam's colonial militia at Caronde et and for other services rendered the Spanish Government Mr. Martigny was granted alittle tractor land no in dispute between the United States and his assigns, consisting of about one hundred acres. grant was made in 1783 by Spain and was * recognized by France in that country’s re- acquirement o the territory of Louisiana a FICK little later. Then when Napoleon sold the ° Territory to the United States in 1808 he in- serted with his own hand a provision that the inhabitants of the ceded country should be protected tn thelr religious and also in their property rights.

New York, Jan. 9.—Christopher Lance, an aged negro, stood on Forty-second street, nearthe Grand Central Depot, yesterday morning. The old man appeared to be about 65 years ot age. He was very thin, about 5 feet 9 inches in height, and bent under the weight of years. His color was a coppery brown, and his face, worn and wrinkled, bore upon it signsof sorrow and suffering. His eyes were bloodshot, one moment dull and spiritiess, another fierce and full of anger. His dress was nondescript, made up of a miscellaneo s lot of cast-offs. was strong and healthy, continued the old man, Wen t left America. What you see now is the result of African fever. I did not want to goto Liberia self; it was my daughter Betsy’s doings. Aboutthree years ago a smooth-tongued man visited Savannah and gave a lot of lectures in the colored churches on ‘All About Liberia.’ He ainted a picture of Liberia as a veritable and of promise, flowing with miik and honey and filled with 8 good. The arty told by this fellow made the strongest ind ofan Impression upon my daughter, and she was led to believe that it was a place where her children could grow up rich and great. Then when Bishop Turner came Along and preached in favor of the colored people goingto Africa she became decided and gave me no rest until lagreed to accom- pany her to Liberia. ‘*Isold out my barber’s business and my littie home for $600, and with ten other fam!- lies, inall about fifty persons, sailed from Savannah about twenty months ago. Ane: ro merchant at Monrovia named Gabriel oore sent us ali to the Government House tostop until the next day, where we were furnished with a meal of soaked fish and rice and given a number of Diapkets. We were huddled together—men, women and children in one large room called the court-room, and there upon the floor and benches, bitten by antsand other stinging things, we were compelied to pass the night. The next morning, after another meal ot fish an rice, we were again taken to the store of Mr. Moore. Here he served out to each one of usa quantity of salt rk, salt beef, candies, soap. sugar, salt, dried apples, fish, molasses, meal and flour, these things belng what our order upon him from the Colonization Soctety for six months’ provisions called for. He then told us that the society having nothing more to do with us, we in the future would have to pro- vide for our wants ourselves. In nine months my money was all gone. The Jibe- rian currency that 1 received for my work was worth only 2% cents on the dolar in American or English money. The little old im these two countries that finds its way to Liberia is not allowed to get into general circulation; a few sharpers manipulate that little matter to their own interests. became affilcted with the skin disease called the ‘craw- craw.’ My body became one mass of sores. This complaint is contagious, and naturally no one would permit me to live with them. For months the complaint remained with me. Noone would help me, not even the American Consul. My daughter and her chil- dren died. Day after day I lived on dry rice until the Handsome Jane came along in need of a cook. I wish every black man in Amer- ica to hear of my experience; it might pre- vent some of them going to Liberia and en- during similar sufferings.’’ RUSSELL SAGE’S DANGER. — — His Former Cook Causes a Scare in Filth Avenue. New Tonk, Jan. 9.—Consternation reigned for a brief period last evening in Upper Fifth avenue between Forty-second and Forty- third streets. Mr. Russell Sage’s residence is No. 506 Fifth avenue, and since he was in- Jjured by a bomb thrown by a crank in his office, a few weeks ago, his house bas been carefully watched by the police. A man created great excitement last evening by brandishing a supposed vomb in his hand and yelling wildly as he uttered impreca- directly in front house. Policeman Kelly the East Fifty -first Police Station was patrolling Fifth avenue opposite Mr. Sage’s house, when he was at- tracted to the man. The latter waved his hands wildiy about his bead and shouted threats Sage 's and Mr. of tions of something that sounded like, ‘‘I’H fix them. He was acting like a Il blow them up.

Va., Jan. 9%.—Several friends of Newt Hubbs, the murderer of Tom Beaver, made an attempt to get Hubbs re- leased from jail on bond last evening but failed. Hubbs is in jail here for safe-keep- ing. The crime was committed a short time ago in Pleasants County. Hubbs and Beaver were both farmers and both lived on French Creek, in Pleasants. A short time since Bea- ver assisted Hubbs at a hog-killing and they fell out and had a fight, Everybody who knew the men expected to hear of the death of one or the other ina short order and they were not disappointed, | for a few days later Beaver was found lyin dead, shot through the body, in Hubbs nouse. The man had been dead over twenty- four hours when found and had lain where he tell all that time, while Hubbs went in and out of the house and slept in it while the body was lying on the floor. It was sus ted that Beaver had been invited into Hubbs’ house, and then while sitting in a chair with his back to a window Hubos had slipped out of the house and shot through the window, The crime was believed to have been cold- blooded and premeditated. and when Hubbs was arrested he was Drought to the county and lodged in jail for — Sooping, Deputy United States Marshal Slaeneker came in last night with August Mowrey of Dennison, and Jim Pritt, moonshiners from Webster.

DO NOT DOVETAIL. Strange Variance Between the Stories Told of Mr. Swart’s Death. THE FRIENDS OF MES. ORFF MYSTIFIED BY HER RECENT EXPLANATION. Tales Said to Have Been Told Them by Her, Which Are Guite Different From the Statement Which She Made at Pitteburg—The Mystery Is Still Un- solved. Mrs. Annie T. Swart or Mrs. Frank Orff, as she is now known, has made an explainatian of the mystery surrounding the disappear- ance of Mr. Swart and her subsequent divorce from him, the circumstances surrounding which were so peculiar and strange as to have caused a great deal of comment. Mrs. Orff’s statement, however, has not dispelled certain doubts which existed in the minds of her frienda On the contrary, her latest ex- planation is apparently so irreconcilable with stories previously told, that the fair editress’ matrimonal affairs are now a subject of more comment than ever. For some time previous to her marrmge with Mr. Orff Mrs. Swart had represented to her friends that Mr. Swart was dead. Before which I supposed to be a mourning habit. But when I put on a most doleful look and stepped up to condole with her I was greatly taken back by®discovering a nest of black birds he ilady’s bonnet. We and neither referred to the heard about the and Mrs. Swart’s caused me to who identified Mr. Louis from a photo- graph was very amusing. I was told that he was mashed in a railroad accident, but according to her statement the corpse was not at all disfigured. ’* ANOTHER FRIEND'S STORY. Mrs, Simon, another friend of Mrs. during the early part of her career in St. Louls, had this to say of her connection with the lady: ‘‘My acquaintance wi Mrs. Swart began on the train when she and her cousin were coming here from New York. arrived in the city we all put up at the Belvi- dere Hotel; Mrs. Swart and I both had a pas- sion for painting and fancy work and in that way we both became friends. Afterward my husband and I went to house- keeping on Hickory street. We took Mrs, Swart tolive with us. Her husband did hot stay with us, but frequently paid visits of several days to his Wife. He was tall and strikingly bandsqme, and had very engaging manners. He was devoted and affectionate to his wife, but exceedingly intemperate in his habits. He was a salesman for the Trask Fish Oo., 9 am not mistaken, but got into some business trouble which caused his wife great unhappiness. As for Mr. Swart.t heard he was confined in anasylum and afterwards died. i remem- berher going to Chicago to attend his funeral and wearing mourning when she came back. I don't remember ever havin seen her with a vell, butshe wore half- mourning and then passedto gray. She was wearing neutral when! last saw her y here in a year or o ago. She quite surprised me by calling here Sunday before her wedding, but co Ue 8 f O NE . 3 — ~_ MRS. ANNIE T. ORFF. her recent marriage, however, Mrs, Swart took the precaution to secure a divorce from Mr. Swart on the ground of desertion. Through a mistake in the spelling of her name in the divorce petition the fact that she was the plaintiff was not known until after she and Mr. Orff had started on their bridal tour. Then her friends to whom she had related the story of Mr. Swart’s death were mystified. An explanation from the lady was anxiously looked for, And now at it has come the mystery, instead of being dissolved, has grown thicker. In speaking with a correspondent of the PosT-DISPATCH at Pittsbarg Mrs. Orff said: „Jam not sure that my first husband is really dead. All I know is that he was con- fined in an inebriate asylum and escaped. 4 body was found mangled by a train and identified as that of Mr. Swart. My mother advised me not to see the corpse, as identif.- cation was complete. So I wrote instructions to have the body buried. A DRESSMAKER’S STORY. The latter part of Mrs. Swart’s statement does not coincide with a story told a Post- DrsPaTcn reporter yesterday by a well- known dressmaker, whose place of business The lady formerly Swart’s garments and her ac- how she made the iady’s It is best made Mrs. count of ein September, 1889, Mrs. Swart brought me in a piece of black silk warp Henrietta cloth to make her a garment. This goods we always use in mourning costumes, but Mrs. Swart did not say she wished it for that pur- pose and I never suspected she did, as she purehased a lot of fine trimming to go with The dress was in the house fora long time and I had given Mrs. Swart two fittings, but we were to have the final one on Saturday morning, That morn ing, she came upina great flurry and said she would have to have the dress done at once, as she had received a dispatch from her brother-in-law in Chicago stating that Mr. Swart was dead, and she had to leave that evening to attend the funeral.

There is a curious contradiction between body was being wr added that she did not but that she had seen his photograph and that he was so very handsome she recognized him at once. in order to learn some further facts con- cerning Mr. Swart’s body a call was made on Mrs. Moran at her home, southeast corner of Twenty-seventh and Howard streets, where she is confined with a severe cold. „have nothing to say.“ she said when apprised of the reporter’s mission. gut Mrs. Swartnow says that her hue- band’s body Was not brought to St. Louis?“ On, yes!

It appears that there is an awakening to the importance of the extensive building im- provements made by the city last year and that people interested in real estate compre- hend the meaning of the statistical articles published on the subject by the Post-Dis- PATCH Guring the last month. In last even- ing’s Post-DisraTcu there was another one Of these articles. It gave a comparison in detail of the building progress of St. Louis and Chicago, the conclusion showing that while the World’s Fair city had suffered a decrease of ( per cent St. Louis had exceeded its building record of 1891 by a gain of 15 per cent, With all its blow and biuster Chicago only claims tc have occupied a lot frontage of fifty-four miles, while st. Louis without making any fuss about it occupicda lot frontage of over thirty-one miles with new buildings during 1891. Instead of having fallen behind last year if Chicago had kept up its pace of 1899 and erected buildings as fast proportionately as did st. Louis, the Columbia Exposition town should have built a street frontage of 155 miles of new buildings. That ts leaving the phantom“ structures and World’s Fair improvements out of the calculation, as they properly should be.

TRYING TO SOLVE A KNOTTY PROBLEM. The lack of judicial decisions or precedents ofany kind in this State to sustain opinions as to the proper course of procedure in the conduct of the affairs of bullding associations in Missouri leads to many honest differences in attempts to properly solve the numerous problems that arise with reference tothe rights of stockholders in these institutions, The reason for this paucity of court decisions on this topic is owing to the fact that the local associations have all been running 0 smooth and successfully there has been no apparent occasion for any of them to resort to litiga- tion in order to settle any misunderstanjings they may have had among themselves. Differences of opinions among themselves they have all had to contend with to a greater or less degree, but having no recog- nized law morethan that of common con- sent, by which to govern their actions, the stockholders have adopted the plan ot p- potating a committee whose duty n 8 premises been to et a concensus opinions of building association authorities as tothe right or t . of stated propositions. Opinions obtained in this way have, after de- liberate debate, supplied the light necessary to harmonious co-operation, but there isa problem now on which the most astute ex- perts with judicial minds differ widely. It pertains to compulsory borrowing, In many associations the by-laws provide that a cer- tain period in the association’s career those members who have not borrowed money are etre J to borrow to the extent of at least one share of their stock or withdraw from the association. In other words, if they do not borrow at this stage of the pro- ceedings the non-borrower’s stock shat be retired. Afteran association has run six or seven years the demand for money is very light, and no little energy is displayed to put the money out to advantage witha view to maturing the association at the earliest possible day. For this reason it is rovide that all members must rrow at one period or an- other, the opportunity to offered them once a week. It is an accepted rule that the stockholder who is to borrow on these occasions is to be decided by lot, and here is where the trouble arfses about which there is such a difference of opinion. In most of the associations all stockholders, large and small, when it came to the compul- sory borrowing allotment, were placed upon on equal footing. The custom has nto put the name of each stockholder into a bat and the first drawn out was the one who fell under the compulsory rule. This custom is criticised as unjust to the small stockholder, who, probably holding but five shares, is subjected to the same risk asthe stockhoider who has fifty shares at stake in the allotment. As a rule the secretaries find no fault with this method, It is easy, simple and, in their opinion, fair forall alike. There are several rominent directors though who have noth- ug to do with the trouble of these allot- ments, who take issue with the secretaries. These directors contend that to make such an allotment fair to all participants alike the name of a stock- holder who holds filty shares should go into the hatan equal number of times, whereas the name of the man who has but five shares should be put into the hat but fivetimes. In other words men Wo take this view of the problem say the stockholder with fifty shares vets ten times as much benefit out of the as- sociation as does the man with but five shares, and that therefore it is fair and equitable that he should be subjected to ten times the risk in determining when he shall borrow or have his stock retired. The question is still an open one. Atthe next monthly meeting of the League it is to be presented for debate among the secreta- ries in official conclave. COMMUNICATIONS.

THE “REPUBLIC” LUNCH WOMAN BE- COMES THE HEROINE OF A SENSATION. The “Post-Dispatch” Locates Her As the Mother Struggling to Recover Her Lit- tle Daughter From the Shadow of the Steen Poisoning Mystery—A Tale of Two Oities. A special telegram tothe Republic from Lit- tle Rock, Ark,, published on Friday morning, gave the meager outlineof astory of an adopted child, coupled with the develop- ments in the case of Stecn, the alleged pol goner of Pearl Woods, which needed only the details of the St. Louis end of the story to make a most intetesting case. The Little Rock telegram stated that a letter had just been . received by the biet of Police of that city from a Mrs. Vada Dobbs of St. Louis, who was, it is said, employed at the Hotel Belvedere, Thirteenth and Washington avenue in this city, asking the Chief to take charge of Mrs. Dobbs’ little daughter, who was then in the hands of Mrs. Kate Steen, wife of the alleged poisoner. Mrs. Dobbs said in the letter that about three years azo, while she was upon what she sup- posed was her death-bed,she had allowed Mrs. Steen to adopt her daughter, supposing that the Steens were excellent peo- ple and would take good care of her child. Seeing the account in the papers, however, of the poisoning case in- volving Mr. Steen in an ugly suspicion of having poisoned the woman Pearl Woods. Mrs. Dobbs’ mother-heart had become anxious as to the fate of her own little daughter, and she had accordingly commun- icated with the Chief of Police of Little Rock, where the Steens lived, asking that her child be taken care of until she could go to Little Rock and reciaim her. The telegram to the Republic then gave a descriptive of the visit of the Chief of Police and the Republic’s Little Rock correspondent to the Steen residence to find Mrs. Dobbs’ daughter, and also a pen- picture of ‘‘the beautiful golden-hatred child of about 7 years of age, who was called into the room by Mrs. Steen, and who, at the re- quest of Mrs. Steen, recited some temper- ance poems in an easy, graceful manner, and received the applause of the visitors with evident delight.’’ The dispatch tothe Repud- lic closed with the expression of opinion by that paper’s Little Rock correspondent to the effect that there woald be great trouble in getting the child away from its foster-mother, Mrs. Steen; it stated also that the child’s father was dead, its mother a poor, hard-working woman, and that the letter from Mrs, Dobbs was ‘‘stained with tears. THE ST. LOUIS END. The story, eveninits incomplete form as telegraped from Little Rock, was a touching one, telling of a mother’s efforts to rescue her little daughter from under the shadow of a crime charged against one child’s foster-parents, and interesting from being th a sensational polsoning case Which had received national attention from the public press. Could the story of the mother in St. Louis have been told fol- lowing the dispatch from Little Rock, the romance of the poor little child who had fallen into such dark places would have been complete. Unable, evidently, to find Mrs. Vada Dobbs in St. Louis, the Republic ee did not supply the missing local end to the story. Knowing that the mother’s ac- count of her efforts to obtain her child would prove peculiarly interesting, the Post-DisPpaTcn on Friday sent a reporter to find Mrs. Dobbs and obtain her story. The search for the anxious mother was a more difficult task than had been an- ticipated, but its final results caused some amused wonderment as to how the Republic came to lose the best end of its Little Rock **special.’’ Acall was made at the Hotel Belvedere, Thirteenth and Washington avenue, “where the reporter inguired for Mrs. Vada Dobbs. The inquiry was answered by the statement that Mrs. Dobbs was no longer employed there, having resigned her place at the hotel to go into some other business, It was not known where she lived or where any intelil- nee of her whereabouts could be obtained. othing was known at the hotel of the touch- ing story of Mrs. Dobbs’ efforts to recover her little duugfter. Failing to find Mrs. Dobbs at the place where the Repudiic’s *‘special’’ located her the search was resumed in other quarters. it was learned that the lady was supposed to ove Mving at No. 919 North Tenth street, and the reporter went tothat number. His visit was ted with the statement that Mrs. Dobbs fia not live there, nothing was known of her and the neighbors could not remember any such person as having ever lived at No. 919. This was a sort of ‘‘dead wall“ to run u against, and for atime it looked as though the Post-DIsPpaTCH was doomed to same disappointment in its search for Mrs. Dobbs as the Republic had encountered, MRS, DOBBS FOUND. But the search was continued, and finally, after two days work, Mrs. Dobbs was located. **She keeps the Republic lunch stand, right at the door of the Hepublic composing room, onthe fifth foor, said the informant of the Post-Dispaton.

She is barely 6,’’ said Mrs. Dobbs, in beginning the story. ‘‘Of course Iam anxious about her, and will not rest until I have her once more under my own charge. I wrote to the Chief of Police in regard to tting my child from the Steens, as stated, ut strange tosay I have heard nothing from him in reply as yet. Ido not knowwhy he doesn’tanswer my letter, and I have been about the child that determined to make an appeal to Mrs. Steen herself to surrender her. shall write to Mrs. Steen to-night as soon as I finish my work here at the Republic and ask her to give my daughter up. ‘*How aid the &teens happen to adopt your child, Mrs. Dobbs? Were they living in St. Louis then?“ No, they were not, said the pleasant - faced little woman. About three years ago, Mrs Steen was visiting in St. Louls, and it was then Iknew her. I was very sick at the time and, being poor, I found I might not be able to provide for my child. Mrs. Steen took a fancy to her and offered to adopt her and I consented, thinking it would be for the best as far as my little daughter was con- cerned. I liked Mrs. Steen and she im- pressed me as being a good woman who would raise child prop- erly. She seemed to be well-off in the world’s goods, and so it came about that she adopted my child and took her to her home in Little Rock. „Was Mr. Steen here with her?’’ No, he was not, answered Mrs. Dobbs and sol can tell you nothing about him. i was perfectly easy about my child until I saw in the papers that Mr. Steen was suspected of poisoned this "ear! Woods, then I became fearful that my daughter was not in geod hands, and so wrote that letter to the Little Rock Chief of Police.’’ What is your daughter’s name, Mrs. Dobbs? The Little Rock correspondent of the Republic in sending a description of her appearance, and how sweetly she recited and behaved when he andthe Chief of Police visited the Steens’ residence, forgot to give the little one’s name. Her name is Mamie, answered the mother smiling, ‘‘and she is the sweetest little girl you ever saw. Oh! Ishall not rest until Il get her with me once more. I shall certainly write to Mrs, Steen to-night and ask her to give my child to the Chief of Police, so that she can be sent to me here in St. Louis. F ne news from Little Rock published in the Republic states that there will probably beafight made by Mrs. Steen to keep the child,’’ said the Post-DISPATCH reporter. Do you expect much trouble in getting her into your possession?’’ hope not,’’ responded the mother, with afaint sigh. I don’t see how they can re- fuse tolet me have my daughter under the present circumstances. I know that Mrs. Steen is very devoted to her, and will hate to part with her, but she should not wish to <r little now. Any- way, shall not rest until I get her, no matter what steps I may be forced to take to accomplish that. But I think it’s strange that I hear nothing from the Chief of Police.’’ Mrs. Dobbs then turned to her lunch table as a member of the fepublic force came up. In excusing herself to the Post- DISPATCH reporter, however, she extended an invita- tion to visit her at her own home— which is also in the same row as the Republic building—there to learn within the next few days theresult of her touching struggle to regain pussession of It- tle Mamie. Mrs. Dobbs’ right name, it was also learned, is Mrs. Suvada Dobbs, not ‘*Vada’’ Dobbs, as the Republic special had it. There is ltkely to be an interesting sequel to the already pretty story of a mother’s anda foster-mother’s struggle over yellow-haired little Mamie Dobbs. 7 Mamie Is LADY M’DONALD A BOODLER. Astounding Charges cf a Toronto Paper Against Sir John’s Widow. MONTREAL, Canada, Jan. 9.—The lat est political sensation in Canada 18 the three-culumn article written by Mr. N. F. Davin in his paper, the Regina Leader, in which the Minister of the Interior, Mr. Dewd- ney, is accused of a real estate boodle of a unique description. Reginaisthe capital of the Northwest Territories and is a town of but a few years’ gfowth. As soon as the Do- minion Government chose its location Dewd- ney, profiting by his knowledge of the choice, bought that section of land, and thus has succeeded in making a very lucrative reales- tate deal. But thisis notall. He got his groom, a fellow named Green, to squat on a half section which was supposed to border the town, but which was really within the limits. This piece of land he wanted for himself also. The Leader prints a facsimile of Dewdney’s letter to Green, in which he tells the latter that ifany person asked questions concern- ing the land he should say that it belonged to the Government. At the close of the Leader’s article it is stated that Dewdney himself, who was Commissioner of Indian Affairs at the time, actually chose the site of the town Regina himself, on the section which he had previously bought. This charge is all the more significant because it is made by Mr. Davin, M. F., who is a Conservative. Other charges were made during the last session of Parliament against Dewdney as Well as against Haygart, the Postmaster General, and Chapleau, the Secretary of State; but they were all squelched by the Government and their docile supporters. The truth is that the present Tory Government of Ottawa, from Premier Abbott, downward, is reeking with corruption. Some of this will be exposed during the approaching session; but it will take a general election, in which the voters will cast party to the winds, to clean out the sink of political iniquity. Commenting on this revelation, the Toronto Globe comes Out with an editorial still more astounding. It says: It is not worth while mincing matters. The personae referred to: is Lady McDonald. She, the wife of the Pre- mier of the day, is virtually accused by this Conservative journal of having been a part- ner with Mr. Dewdney and the rest in a trans- action which all concerned must have known to be shady and disreputable, and it would be well for Parliament to order an investiga- tion into all these transactions.

Hughes, the St. Louis victim ofthe bigamist, presented a petition in the Circuit Court asking a divorce. In her petition she states that she was married to Hughes in Sedalia, Mo., April 15 last, and that she lived with him just three days.

Some years ago he quit setting type and launched forth as an evangelist. He showed a familiarity with the scriptures and traveled about from one small town to another. in making a number of mintsters of different sects believe that he was a devout preacher working in the good cause. He succeeded in getting a pastorate in Indian Territory, but did not hold it long as his appetite for morphine over- came his zeal for Christianity. He next became an assistant pastor in a Sedalia church, butagain got in trouble and was removed. He worked Illinois and suc- ceeded in marrying a young woman who be- came impressed with his style of preaching. He remained onlya short while and went back to Sedalia, where he married Miss Borngesser. The Illinois bride whom he de- serted heard of his marriage and had him ar- rested. It then developed that he had sev- eral other wives. He was taken back to lilinois and kept in jail for some time and was then sent to Sedalia, where he was finally convicted. His arrest was effected in the city the day after he deserted the former Miss Born- esser, who married him while she was yvis- ting in Sedalia. He admitted at the time that he had been ~perniciously active in the matrimonial business, but attributed his conduct to his morphine habit. He said at the time that he had no objection to going tothe penitentiary, believing that it would cure him of his crav- — for the drug. As Hughes is now in cus- tody Mrs. Hughes will have no opposition to her application.; No Novelty. Mr. George A- Newcomb of the Newcomb Bros. Wall Paper Co., in speaking of the suit brought against his firm for infringement of patent and the withdrawal of it, said yester- ay: ein your several notices of Becker vs. Newcomb Bros. Wall Paper Co., for infringe- ment of patent, we fearsome may infer that we have been poaching onanother’s pre- serves and wrongfully appropriating what does not belongtous. On the contrary, we have only maintained what we have con- ceived to our rights and the rights of the trade. The process of applying cloth to walls and painting on same is no novelty, nor does it possess any merit of invention. It is what would ordinarily occur to any decorator in securing a substantial, smooth surtace, es- peciaily on old or cracked walis, as cloth 2 elasticity, and will naturally yield o some strain and not break. Its priority of use dates back to the days of Pompell, and there are still extant samples of this work in the Palace of Marie Antoinette at Versailles. It has been commonly used in this country many years prior to the issuing of this pat- ent. The same idea, too, is manifest in many ways—ag in the painted canvas deck of ships, painted canvas trunks, painted cloth Signs on boards, § etc. Scarcely a” Pullman car whose interior is not covered with cloth and decorated. When we were ready for trial the suit was Gismissed. Our attorney says we were offered license for use of the patent if we would consent toa judgment, but we would mot willingly consent to foist an injustice upon others to what we would not submit to ourselves. The suit was pending for some time in the courts and was finally abandoned. It has been creating a g6od deal of interest among decorators. 0 Letters of Administration.

NEw ORLEANS, La., Jan. 9.—Mrs. Harr iet Luckett Brady, a female survivor of Walker’s Alibustering expedition to Nicaragua, died early this morning. She was born in New Orleans sixty-one years ago, and married Col. Philip R. Thompson, at onetime of the regular army, whom she accompanied to Nicaragua, her husband being AGjutant-Gen- eralon Walker’s staff. With him his wife participated in the series of battles fought by the Americans, and witnessed the overthrow ofthe Nicaraguan Government. When Gen. Walker reorganized the administration, be- coming Commander-in-Uhief of the Army, her husband became one of his most trusted counselors, and she herself intimately associated with the heroic man. During the war which followed between Nicaragua and the Republic of Costa Rica, Mrs. Thompson was exposed to every pos- possible danger. Her husbahd 9 a camp on the River Sarapagui, which was surprised by the enemy and the Colonel taken prisoner. Confined in a prison in a town near by, he was joined by his faithful wife and with her aid effected his escape. During the slege of Rivas Mrs. Thompson endured the extremist of hardship. She was present at many of the assaults, en- couraged the troops to renewed exertions by the calm intrepidity which she displayed under fire. When cholera des- Olated the baleaguered city she nursed the sick in the hospitals and exerted herself in every way to keep upthe spirits of the gar- rison. Her exertions were so important that Walker in the volume in which he relates the story of those days takes frequent occasion to praise them. Just prior to the last attack many of the women in Rivas were allowed by the enemy to leave the devoted town, but Mrs. Thompson remained with her friends. When Walker at last was surrender, in April, 1857, she and her husband accompanied bim to the St. Mary, and on that vessel returned with him to the States. The deceased lost her husband, Col. Thompson, soon after returning to New Orleans. Mrs. Thompson married Maj. Andrew Brady, Ikewise a survivor of the filibustering expedition. Maj. Brady entered the Confederate army and was desperately wounded at Chanceliorville. His dauntless wife immediately went to the front and nursed him back to health. Since the last war she has resided in New Orleans, where her home was one of the loveliest and most hospitable. Maj. Brady died in 1888. Mrs. JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 9.—Hon. Edward H. Stiles, Representative from Claiborne and Jefferson Counties, died suddenly this even- ing of heart failure. He was one of the ablest men in the House and had served several ses- sions in the Legislature as well asin the Con- stitutional Convention of 1868. His remains will be taken to Port Gibson. He wasin the House this morning, PROGRESSIVE BENEFIT ORDER AFFAIRS. Athletic Lodge Meets Last Night and Takes Action. A meeting of Athletic Lodge, Progressive Benefit Order, was held last night at the office of the Secretary, F. C. Sommer, 2613 El- liot avenue. The object of the thering was to determine what action should be taken with reference to the recent disclosures concerning that unhappy order. For some reason this lodge has not been represented at the meetings held recently by the st. Louis lodges, but the result of the meeting was to put this lodge in line with the rest. There wasa large attendance; and among those present were several ladies—some of whom had been induced to put their money into the concern in hopes of ‘‘getting rich quick. Some of these were said to be hard- working women—washer-women and the like, who had really distressed themselves to keep up their multitudinous payments, and who could very illy afford to lose their money. A communication from Boston head- quarters was read. It bore the official cap- tion of the Progressive Benefit Order and read as follows: - BOSTON, Jan. 5.~We are ha to be ina ition to state that all restraining — from ihe courte against our order have heen removed for good, we hope, and we shall at once commence the yment ofall certificates that have been matur ninety has by an unanimons vote de- lodges and members that have 1891, with- Supreme at once, upon Treasurer. eys Supreme ent was due to 08.

THE GRAND OLD MAN DON’T WANT SECOND PLACE. Grover Cleveland Firstin His Affections— Harrison Lops Off Antagonistic Heads —Asperities of the Speakership Con- test Cooling Off—Senator Perkins Po- litically Classified. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—Should it please the Democratic party to place Senator John M. Palmer in nomination for the Presi- dency, well and good. The grand old man of Illinois will agcept and do his very best to win. But he is not so ambitious for the honor as to stand in the way of one whom he thinks the most desirable man for that high position. In an interview to-day he said: Regarding the next standard-bearer of the National Democracy, I can only say that I have a very strong hankering attes Grover Cleveland. I have been elected to the Illinois Senate several times and I have now reached a position which entirely fills my ambition. I would not accept second place on the presi- dential ticket with Hill or any other nominee under consideration, I have no doubt that Mr. Hill is a bright and intelligent Democrat, worthy of the attention of his party. Should he be nominated for President I see noreason why he should not be elected. Rut, as for myself, Ican not conceive how it would be possible for me to accept any position in which there is no work to be done, as in an inactive place like the Vice-Presidency. Neither would I accept under Hill nor anybody else a cabinet position. No, I say to you more than I have said to anyone except my closest political friends, Iam a Cleveland man first, last and all the time. My ambition now Is to bring the great Northwest into the Democratic column. I believe that at heart itis Democratic and I have no doubt that it Can be made so in body. AS TO PERKINS. THE NEW SENATOR FROM KANSAS POLITICALLY CLASSIFIED. ‘ WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—The selection of ex Congressman Perkins of Kansas by the Governor of that State, to succeed to the va- cancy caused by the death of Senator Plumb, has occasioned considerable gossip here. The ex-Congressman is regarded by the Democratic members who have enjoyed an acquaintance with him for several terms back, as a shrewd politician, whose partisan feelings outran any other. Judge Perkins they regard as a man who will, in all matters of State, serve his party first to the exclusion of any and all other pre- cepts that might accrue. The late Senator Plumb, on the other hand, was esteemed as a man who rose above party in a great many things, even tothe extent of losing prestige and friends in his State. It was his avowed pespete to accept the election of Senator effer by the Alliance party as a fact and to deal with him in all things to the end that by making slight political sacrifices the State of Kansas might obtain important advantages through legislation. The Republicans here had their personal 1 — in the Kansas Senatorial contest ut they are not disgruntled at the choice of Judge Perkins. Ex-Congressmen Morrill or Peters, George W. Peck or Editor Hudson, would have suited the majority of them bet- ter. They are not, of course, familiar with the details of the case which brought about the selection, beyond knowing that Gov. 2 resides in the same Congressional district with the appointee and has Congregs- ional aspirations which Judge Perkins and his friends might aid. But they cherish the idea that the new Senator’s political aggressiveness may result in the precipita- tion of trouble between himself and the Alliance men in Congress from Kansas, of which Senator Peffer isthe head and front and which Senator Plumb proposed to avoid. One very devout Republican, ex-Congress- man Singeiser, said that he was especiall pleased at the nomination, for politica reasons; that Judge Perkins had enunciated these principles which should be applauded by every Kansan. MR. MILLS’ LETTER, TIME WILL CURE JHE ASPERITIES OF THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—The letter of Mr. Mills to Alderman ‘Phillips at Austin, Tex., is still the object of much talk here. The genuineness is not questioned. The sen- timents expressed were those entertained by Mr. Mills at the time of his defeat for the Speakership. They were echoed, too, at that time by many of his followers, The feeling in the Mills circle undoubtedly — 8 r 1 received a setback ana wa * porta yg pe y the matter must be rem mod defeat of their te was as be o boundes dete. ine a nden duty. of therefore, deciared their . — - pronounced Harrison men as delegates to the Republican Convention and equal activity in support of Blaine. Treasury officials do not admit openly that this was the cause of their removal, but Secretary Foster said, inreply to a question to-day, that men were removed for reasons satis- facto to the department.’’ Another official of the Treasury, however, said: There is no use in attempting to conceal the facts. These men, who held office under President Harrison, were working openly against his renomination and in favorofa man in hisown Cabinet. The President has a perfect right to feel exasperated over the whole matter, and he does feelso. No will blame Secretary Foster for feeling that men who will hold office for three years by the President’s appointment and then turn around and work against him ought to be dismissed. If there is to be a fight against the President within his own ranks, among those who have accepted favorsat his hands, he owes it to his own dignity to remove them. , REDISTRICTING MISSOURI. CONGRESSMEN QUESTION. é' , WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 9.—The Mis- sourians at the Capital are divided on the question of an extra session of the Legisla- ture for redistricting the State as a general proposition, but one and all of these are of the opinion that if there is to be any question about the result of the matter the Legisia- ture should be convened totake care of the job. When the Governor came here some weeks ago, during the Speakership contest, he announced it as his intention to sound the members of the State Con- sional delegation on the subject. is he did in a measure by calling them together in Congressman Hatch’s headquarters and then having a neral talk on the subject. There was a ivisionof sentiment, the majority of those present being adverse to a calling together of the Legisiature. Such men as Congress- man Sam Byrnes advocated it and froma legal standpoint held that the Governor could afford to do nothing else than leave the sub- ject to the direct representation of - the people. There are members of the delegation from Missouri in Congress who do not care to have their now safe districts tampered with by the Legislature. For es Congressman Dockery does not want a slice of his territory added to the Kansas City Democratic Dis- trict because it lessens his strength, and so it goes. The fear that Congressional chances will be Jeopardized by such a move induced the representatives to opposeit, but those who have no selfish ends to subserve feel confident tnat the State Executive will make a grand mistake does he not proceed to have the important work of redistricting done by the General Assembly of the State. HOW THE STAND ON THE CLEVELAND’S SPEECH. SOME PASSAGES CONSTRUED AS SLAPS AT SENA- TOR HILL. | E NEW YorK, Jan. 9.—Ex-President Cleve- landa’s speech last evening at the Jackson Day dinner of the Business Men’s Democratic Association has set the politicians’ tongues to wagging. His reference to ‘‘Shifty schemes,’’ ‘‘Insincere professions,’’ and his assertion that tbe people will not waste time guessing riddles or trying to interpret doubtful phrases, are construed by many to be pointed slaps at David B. Hill. However, no prominent Tammany politi- claus could be found this morning who would consent to say as much. All agree that the ex-President meant to lay down the law on the tariff question and to serve notice on the leaders of Democracy at Washington that there must be no backward policy in the treatment of the tariff by this ngress. Some affect to see in the speech abun- dant evidence that Mr. Cleveland still feels the defeat of Mills very keenly. All unite in agreeing that Mr. Cleveland evident- ly savors the introduction of a general tariff bill repealing the McKinley act and not the policy of Mr. Springer. NURTURING BLAINE’S BOOM, THE GENTLEMEN FROM TOOLEY STREET HAVE THEIR SAY. CHICAGO, III., Jan. 9.—It is stated that a new political organization has been formed, Reciprocity is its platform and Blaine 1s its chief. It isa combination of laboring men in the protected trades, farmers who are not Im or are weary of the Alliance, and Democrats and Republicans generally who believe in Blaine and a protect- ive tariff.

Only Hard Work Enabled the Liandaf City to Reach Port. LONDON, Jan. 9.—The British steamer Lian. daff City, Capt. Govier, from New York for Bristol, which was towed into Queenstown yesterday by the British steamer Regina, bound from New Orleans for Bremen, hada most eventful voyage, and it was only through the fine seamanship of the officers and crews of both vessels that the Llandatt City was able to reach port. When the steamers reached Queenstown their crews were ex. hausted by the constant labor they had been rforming for ten days. As before stated, he Llandaff City was spoken by two steam. ers, whichreported that the former’s shaft was broken. One of these steamers, the Guion Line’s Wyoming, reported the fact that the Llandaff City was in tow of the Re. gina. During the heavy weather that the Lian. daff City encountered she was thrown down on her beam ends, and it was while she wag lying in this precarious position that her Shaft broke. When this accident occurred the steamer was entirely helpless. She fell off into the trough of the sea, and for a con. siderable time there was every prospect of her foundering. Of course, while she was on her beam ends and tossing about at the mercy of the waves she was subjected tu a most violent pounding by the heavy sea. Her lifeboats were either smashed to pieces as they hung in the davits or their lashings were broken and the boats carried away. With their boats gone and the vessel on her Side the officers and crew about made up their minds that they were on their last voy- age. Just about the time they had reached this conclusion a gigantic wave swept toward the steamer, lifted her up and so trimmed her cargo which had shifted when she was beam ended, that she afterward rode on an almost even keel. The wind was blowing with terrific force andthe steamer’s rigging was insuch bad shape that it was with the greatest difficulty that canvas could be set. After a time, how- ever, some storm-stay sails were spread, and with this short canvas the steamer was brought around head to the sea. Her deck Was a mass of wreckage, and she rolled and pitched so heavily that it was impossible to clear away the tangle of ropes and broken Spars that encumbered the deck. After two days of this sort of experience the Inman line steamer City of Paris, on her way from Liverpool to New York, hove in sight, but as she was bound tothe westwardthe Liandaff City required no assistance from her. On Dec. 20 the Regina came up with the Liandaff City and took the latter intuow. Ihe weather Was still boisterous and it required locessant Vigilance to navigate the vessel. Noattemprt has yet been made to clear away the wreck. age and the Llandaff City presents a very bat- tered and storm-worn appearance. The Regina was fortunate in getting her tow Into Queenstown, as upon her arrival there her coal supply was practically exhausted. A FATAL WRECK. LITTLE Rock, Jan. 9.—Another wreck on the Little Rock & Fort Smith Kallrvoad, the third one within twenty-four hours, occurred last night when engine No. 443, drawing a heavy freight train, crashed into an open switch, three miles this side of Pajarm Sta- tion and about fifteen miles from thiscity, The engine toppled over and seven freight Cars were piled upon it. The engineer, Aue. man and head brakeman were crushed and scalded in a horrible manner and must have been killed instantly. The dead are: En. gineer C. H. Brown of Emporia, Kan., bods crushed, badly scalded, right leg broken, Fireman N. L. Moore, residence unknown, scalded and burned almost beyond recogni tion; Head Brakeman Wm. Kennedy of Bir mingham, Ala., crushed and scalded, RUNAWAY BOYS INJURED. De Soro, Mo., Jan. 9.—Two St. Louls boys, Ernest Court, residing at 184s South Thir- teenth street, and George Ketner of 717 South Third street, ran away from home and came to De Soto to-day. While loafing around the depot, they were asked by two lavies, who were going offonatrain, to return a car riage to Frech’s stable, one block away. The horse became unmanageable and ran into an electric light pole, throwing the boys out and severely injuring young Court about the head, which may prove fatal. Ketner’s in. juries are painful, but not serious. The parents of the boys were notified. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. READING, Pa., Jan. 9.—A serious accident occurred at Royer's Ford, on the Reading road, this morning, the result ofa misplaced switch and the faflure of the brakemanof& shifting engine to properly guard the track.

ST. LOUIS ENTRIES CLOSE FRIDAY. Next Friday, Jan. 15, entries close for the forty eight days’ racing to be held at the Fair Grounds, and the present indications are that it will prove the greatest meeting ever held in this city. Purses amounting to $150,000, the largest sum ever given by a Western track, will be hung up. It will be really two meetings, a spring meeting and a first summer meeting all merged into one, and the entries for both close together. There are eighteen stakes to be decided at this meeting and the added money in each ranges from $1,000 to $5,000. The Fair Grounds Club handicap, one mile anda quarter with $5,000 added, the Directors’ Stakes handicap, seven and a half furlongs with $2,500 added, the Inaugural handicap, three-quarters of a mile with $2,000 added, the Memorial handicap with $2,000 added, the Cyclone handicap, seven furlongs, with $1,000 added, the Street Railway stake, with $1,000 added, the Merchants and Manu- facturers’ stake with $1,000 added, the Mis- sour! stakes, nine furlongs, with $1,000 added, and the St. Louls Bréwing Association stake, one mile and one sixteenth, with $1,000 added, are the stakes for horses &-years-old and up- wards; the Mississippi, one mile and one six teenth, with $2,000 added, the Real Estate stake, six furlongs, with $1,000 added and the Gasconade, one mile, with $1,000 added.

Entries for all these stakes close, as stated, next Friday. Already there have been a gr at number of entries recelved, the num- up to date being far in excess of what had been received at the same time last year. Applications are being constantly received, too, for entry blanks, some applications being received by wire yesterday from California. In fact, the entries for that stake promise to be far in excess of those received from there in pre- vious years, andthe outlook for the entire meeting is most promising. POPULAR BILL BARNES FOR PRESIDENT. LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 9.—The officers of the newly formed racing association here which secured by purchase the grounds and good will of - the Kentucky Association for $95,005, have now got their organization in such shape that it is possibie to make an announcement Dearing on the coming spring meeting of 1892. The syndicate which owns the new club have set the 15th inst. asa date on which to hold its meeting, perfect organ vation and elect officers for the com- ing year. At that meeting a series of seven Stakes will be agreed upon, three for 2-year-olds, two for 3-year-olds, and two for aged horses. The added money ranges from $1,000 to $2,000 each. These Stakes Close Feb. 10. It will also be decided to have no purse for less than $400. The meeting will begin April 30, and continue to May 10, including nine days racing.

GUTTENBURG MEETING. GUTTENBURG, Jan: 9.—The day was not an ideal one for racing, but this did not affect the attendance in the least. There were fully as many persons present as if there had been no snow orice. The track wasin fairly good going order. A fair programme was pro- vided. The entries were neither brilliant nor heavy, but it puzzled the faithfulto pick winners. The patience of the backers favorites was rewarded by John Lackland, He was their choice for the second race, which was won without even having left the issue in doubt. He took a big lead in the back stretch and the others wore themselves out in their futile attempts to overtake him. There were sev- of dt least the talent thought there were. | day eral good things in the first race, a four and one-half furloug scramble for beaten horses, Sun- was, in their estimation, the best of the lot and Himlex the second best. In the ring they were both heavily backed. Sunday opened at é4tol1 against, but was quickly backed down to 8 to 5. The wholesale plunge on Sunday caused Himlex, who opened first favorite at 6 tos against, to recede to 9 to g. The calculations of the faith- ful were badly upset by the rank outsider, Sliver Mint, against whom odds of 2 to 1 were quoted. The latter ran Well up with his fleid allthe way and won easily.

SOUTH SIDE PARK RACES. The result ofthe third raceat South Side Park yesterday caused no end of dissatisfac- tion. The race was supposed to lie between King Richard and Kildare, and these two horses were backed heavily in the pools until a short time previous tothe start, when a mysterious plunge was made on Emma Lake. The bookmakers became suspiciousand the result was that the mare Was soon rubbed off the boards. ihe strange plunge on her, coupled with the easy style in which she defeated King Richard and Klidare and the miserable manner in which King Richard was ridden, caused ma of the spectators.to make a determined effort to have all the bets red off. The mare got away in the lead and the boy on King Richard had him swery- ing all over the track. The summaries of the day’s racing were as follows: First race, four furjon eser, first; Bob Wade, second; Gold Dest, third. 1 51.

It is expected that Armory Hall will con- tain one of the largest crowdsthat ever as- sembled in it, on Jam. 28 to witness the in- door es of the Missouri Bicycle and Athletic Clab. The advance sale of tickets is phenomenally large, and fully 500 have been dispesed of to date. The one-mile race for ordinaries, which has been added to the programme, makes the cycling events com- plete, and to date sixentries have been re- ceived for it. Geo. 8.

An effort will be made to have Mr. Dan Canary, the champion trick and fancy rider of the world, give an exhibition on the night of the games on ordinary and safety bi- cycles. A NEW ROAD BOOK. Much prominence is now being giventoa department of knowledge which, previous to the springing up in our midst of a great army of cyclists, has almost been entirely ne- glected. e cycling tourists have become numerous and important personages in the land, and the subjectofthe general char- acterand condition ofthe public highways in many sections of this State is something about which they require clear, full and ac- curate information. To supply the demand for a book of this kind the officers of the Mis- souri Division, L. A. W., have decided to 18 sue a new road book giving an exact descrip- tion of nearly 7,000 miles of roads in this State. The book will be distributed free of charge be division, of the most practical benefits accru- ing to those belonging to the organization. The work will consist of some 150 pages of closely printed matter, and in addition to the road information will contain special arti- cles on touring, hints on temporary repairs and what to do in case of accident. It. will also contain large maps of the riding districts ofst. Louis. Kansas City, St. Joseph and Columbia, as well as a ——— map of the State, which will serve its purpose well in guiding the cycling tourists who are un- acquainted with the roads, to the places they wish to visit. Chairman Gilbert of the Tour- ing Committee, has charge of the publication and he hopes to have it ready for distribution by May 1. CYCLING CHAT. Only two more weeks till the date of the in- door games. The M. B. and A. C. will have thirty-five men entered before Jan. 15. An L. A. W. entertainment at a West End hall is spoken of for February. At the last meeting ofthe Missouri’s Board of Governors seven applicants were ad- mitted to membership. Capt. Tidd of the M. B. and A. O. states that he will not be able to enter the cycle races op account of lack of time for training. Wm. Micke of the Cycling Club was the first man at Ballwin this year and won the battle. The ride was made in a heavy rain and wind. A tournament for next year is spoken of by some of the former members of the Track Association, but the scarcity of a good track will hardly make the venture a paying one. Wheelmen are anxiously awaiting to hear from the Council committee who have the special tax bill in hand as to when they will be cited to appear to state their objection against the bill. Life at the clubs is very lively at present and the attendance, in spite of the snow, Is far greater than the average. The Missouri’s ltournament is reaching its close, with arrett stillinthe lead. At the Cycling Club the bi-weekly card parties have become very popular. Librarian McNeil of the Missouris reports that the list of magazines on file at the club now includes all the popular monthiles, five weeklies, all the cycling and sporting papers published in America and two from England. Just as it was about settled to hold the an- nual meet ofthe Missouri Division at Mexico word was received that the grounds coul not be secured on July (and 5 on account of alterations deing made to the track, which is to be made one mile instead of haifa mile, as now. Secretary Douglass has gone to Mexico to see if the matter cannot be ar- ranged to have the half-mile track remain undisturbed until July 5. Louls Berger, editor of the Bearings, an- nounces that another party of Chicago riders will be down on June 5 forthe purpose of rid- ing to De Soto and the bare announcement has caused no little surprise in local cyciing circles. It is evident that this means a race between teams from both cities and it would be well to get the St. Louis men in good trim long before the event takes place. Chicago also promises tosenda large delegation to attend the Pike County tour at Louisiana which takes place on May land may be pre- ceded by a road race on April 80. Although this is the off season for recruit- ing the league membership and the number of new names published each week is small, the Missouri division shows a more energetic spirit than 1 of the others, and is slowly etting near the 600 membership mark. A high grade bicycle has been offered to any member securing 100 new members within one year from Jan. 1, 1892. Next Saturday evening the Missouri B. & A. C. gives a smoker at the club-house to which all the various cyciing and athletie clubs have been invited. Abundant talent has been secured to make the afilair a most enjoy- able one and the recently adopted member. ship card, containing the new culb embiem, will be distributed among the members. BASE BALL. BUCK EWING JEALOUS OF MIKE KELLY—THE TWELVE-CLUB LEAGUE. — NEW YorK, Jan. 9.—Now that the profes- sional base Dall magnates have settled their differences, the outlook for the national game next season is encouraging. Prelimi- nary gossip concerning the strength of the twelve clubs is on the lips of all base ball ad - mirers. The managers are busy trying to make contracts with players, but the compe- tition in no way redounds tothe advantage of the player because each one Is assigned to a given club and no other club ts rmitted to open negotiations for his services. The managers will soon begin to make deals or trades for men who they particulariy desire. Then the enthusiasts known as base ball cranks will be in their element. It is on the cards now to divide the season into two parts, with a brief rest, say a week, be- tween the division. The schedule will pro- vide for either 154 or 132 games. The name of the new organization is the National League and American Association of Ball Clubs. It will be known, however, as the League. A twelve - club circuit is a radical departure from the old ideas of the magnates, Time alone can tell whether it will succeed. Many persons think the organization unwieldy, and say it will contain too many ‘‘tail- enders.’’ The plan has never been given a fair trial. NEW YORK WANTS RICHARDSON. Manager Powers of the New York club thinks his team is lamentably weak. He thinks the New Yorks were not considerately treated at the Indianapolis Convention, where the assignment of players to it was made. Danny Richardson, Mr. Powers says, should certainly have been awarded to the local club. President Day thinks he will yet be able to secure the favorite player. Un the other hand President N. E. Loung has stated emphatically that Danny must play in Wash- ington. As Mr. Young is supreme in the mat- ter New York’s chances appear dubious. At the proper time an expenditure of $500 would have averted the trouble, but Richardson’s case was then in the hands of the direc- tors. In base ball the director is not a glimmering success. He is more of an irri- descent dream. f DIRECTORS INTERFERING. When Manager Powers was signed and given full authority toengage and release ers, it was fondly hoped the director would desist from interference in the man- agement. Such was Manager Powers’ un- derstanding lastfall. But, oh, what a differ- ence inthespring time. Here isa case in point. The Boston club has too many piay- ers and has a sala list of $60,000. Among its Pacers is Michael J. Kelly, known in base ball as the $10,000 beauty. Kelly is a filing er, is to-day the bestonthe diamond. impulsive, but brilliant. ger one the adherence to the other when he signed with the the disbandment of Von b season, he was 1. the American Associ- N — 121 Was 78 Wende made a tien contract with The contract calls for a per- the the hostilit of Hub patrons by his faction justifiable. one of his best vanta gue club. centage of the season's - ; profits after they —2 „000.

Soheinformed me the day of his arrival from Europe. The suggestion was made to the New York club and President Day, Manager Powers and Director Spalding looked favorabiy upon it. In the Sun last Wednesday, however, appeared the follow- ing paragraph: To set all chatter (about signing Kelly) at rest, the Sun will state that there is not the remotest pros- ect of Kelly playing ball for the New York team. ‘he reason ts that a majority of the directors of the club do not want Kellv and will not have him under any circumstances. A prominent director and heavy stockholder said to-day thatifit came before the board he would have it understood that if Keily came in he (the director) would go oũut. We don't want a man in this club, said the official, ‘*who has been in the habit of playing a few innings in a game, then throwing off his gloves and leaving his fellow- players to do the best they can. The active directors ofthe New York Club are Messrs, Spalding and Talcott. McAlpin, Robinson, Vancott and Sullivan have little or nothing to do with the club. Mr. Spalding on Friday said he knew of no objection tosign- ing Kelly. The objector was Director E. B. Talcott, who, inan emergency, might con- trol the votes of Messrs. McAlpin, Robinson and Vancott, although the gentlemen named do not care a fix whether Kelly plays in New York or Kalamazoo. When asked Tuesday by a reporter what he thought about signing Kelly, Mr. Talcott said: The directors liave determined to pursue a policy of silence this ear in regard to all such matters. We will let Man- ager Powers do whatever he desires and make no suggestions or criticisms. I con- sider Mike Kelly a great ball player, but beyond that Ido not care to express myself — his usefulness to the New Tork ub.’ Notwithstanding this, Mr. Talcott is the director referred to in the Sun paragraph as saying, It Kelly came in he would go out.“ Mr. Talcott bas since admitted the correct- ness of the interview, but says he made the statement to the reporter in confidence. EWING 18 JEALOUS. Mr. Talcott isa arent admirer of Buck Ew- ing. Hemay think Kelly’s entrance to the local field would detract from Ewing’s reful- gence. Of course this is very generous of Mr. Talcott. When Kelly came home from abroad he wrote to Ewing, asking Buck to aid him in getting to New York. Recently Mr. Talcott received a letter from Ewing. Shortly afterward came the outburst against Kelly. Both Mr. Talcott and Ewing are mis- taken as to the effect of signing Kelly. Mike told me he was perfectly willing to play un- der Manager Powers and Capt. Ewing. If Ewing plays good ball and I hope he will, he has nothing to fear from the King.“ Will Mr. Talcott withdraw his objections to Kelly; or does he preferto assume the re- sponsibility that will be thrown upon his shoulders next summer if Manager Powers is not allowed fo strensthen the team, and it should play losing ball2?, That Kelly would strengthen the téam is admitted by nine out of ten local base Dall men. LOCAL SPORTING, THE PASTIME CLUB CAUCUS RENOMINATES THE OLD OFFICERS—FOOT- BALL GAMES. The members of the Pastime Athletic Club to the number of over one hun- dred held a caucus last even- ing for the purpose of placing a ticket in nomination for the coming annual election. It was a cut and dried affair from start to finish and no opposition was made to any of the nominees. Speeches were made by several members eulogistic of Anson D. Hartwell, who was for a second time placed in nomination for the presidency. r. A. N. Ravoid, the popular hysical examiner came in for a — share of the praises, and was placed in nomination fora second term as director.

The majority of these gentlemen are at present holding office, Dut their efficiency and success have led to their renomination. The much talked of opposi- tion them did not develop. Some of the me rs say that there will be an oppo- sition ticket in the field, however, if for noth- ing else than the excitement ofa contest. The Pastimes in order to encourage the many beginners at handball have decided to give a tournament, the winners of which shall receive handsome ahd appropriate prizes. The rules which will govern specify thatthe ball must be served from the ace line.

MAGNIFICENT CHESSMEN. A Oarefully Engraved Set, Representing Six Years’ Time. Mr. James Le Mou, a well-known American mechanical engineer of New York birth and residence, has, after six years’ careful attention, both to detail of costume, blazonry and with a thorough knowledge of artistic anatomy, completed a set of statuette chess- men, one-seventeenth fe size, in silver bronze that are probably the most elaborate ever made. This set illustrates the French and English chivairy of the medieval golden age in full costumes, armor and vestments. The time selected is 1194 A. D., all the characters being historical and contemporary. Ihe work entailed a number of months of ex- haustive preparatory research, After these Mr. Le Mou made drawings to scale, itdealiz- ing his conception of the characters selected, carefully, however, following the arbitrary costumes, both military and sumptuary. From these drawings were carefu modeled, cast and engraved by hand tirely in the metal, the present figures. The Knights are in chain-mal) armor, with shield, ax, sword and dagger. They are cos- tumed in fur coats bearing their individual blazons. The sceptered queens are regally robed. The bishops are in church vestments, with cross and crogier. The pawns are kneeling men at arms, with spear, biu- hock and knife. The casties are compact models of the feudal defensive architecture of the There are twenty-eight figures. The action expressea is that of the tourney, with the knights on guard prepered for foot combat. The field is watched by the queens and bishops. The 2 are wt opens id It will be gbserved t the hands and feet of the Warriors are wide and of proper proportion and symmetry, indicating their covering by chain- mail shoe and glove.
