ALEXANDRIA, April 4.—The Turkish im- perial yacht Izzeddin, having on board Ahmed Eyoub Pasha,the specialenvoy of the Sultan of Turkey, who brings to Egypt the firman ofinvesteur for the Khedive, ar- rived here this morning. As she steamed into the harbor she was greeted with salutes from all the warships.and theforts. Shortly after she came to anchor Ahmed Eyoub Pasha and the fourteen members of his suite were rowed to the quay in boats. AS the en- voy and his party stepped upon the quay they were received by representatives of the Khedive. A guard of honor, consisting of British and Egyptian troops, was in waiting and received the envoy with military honors. The party at once proceeded to the railway station, where they took a special train and started for Cairo. As Egyptis a pashalicof Turkey, the fir- man ofthe Sultan investing young Abbas, the new Khedive, withthe power to rule the country in the name of the Sultan, is an es- sential tothe stability of his throne. The presence ofalarge number of British war- ships at Alexandria has been regarded as a move on the part of Lord Salisbury’s govern- ment to impressthe young ruler with the im- portance of England’s friendship,and to some extent toneutralize effects of the Sultan’s firman,which maintains the sovereign rights of the sublime Porte over all Egypt. The sig- nificance of England’s naval demonstration will be understood when it is shown that young Abbas Pasha {fs giving much trouble to his English advisers He is getting more and more tired of the diplomatic leading-strings, and fears are entertained that he will even- tually break loose from control. He Is ambitious of makinga figure in history, and is persuaded that the time is opportune. §S0 it undoubtedly is if he knows how to avail himself of it. AN EYE ON THE SOUDAN. The Soudan is open to at least partial re- conquest through the decline ofthe Mahdist fanaticism and the internecine rivalries of the tribes. Abbas is ambitious of effecting the reconqguest, and can scarce- ly be restrained from setting -aboutit at once. The English representa- tives dotheir best to discourage him, as it would not suit British policy to allow him to conguer the enemies from whom they are, according to diplomatic fiction, protecting him. If the armies of Egypt could penetrate to Omdurman and Khartoum the last coilor- able excuse for their presence in Cairo and Alexandria would disappear. ‘The logical proof of the ability of the Egyptians to pro- tect themselves would be more complete, though less unkind, than that given by the boers of the Transvaal republic, who beat their alleged protectors in battle. To obviale the possibility of mischance the English do their best .to frustrate the youug Khedive’s desire of conquest. Their best efforts will hardly prove enough, however, for in their protest they concede to him the right to conquer Dongola ifhecan. That is, they forbid him going any further south at present. There is little doubt thatthe re- organized Egyptian army will be able todrive the dervishes from Dongola, where they were never really welcome and where they have long since become detestable. But if Abbas recovers Dongola who shall prevent him from carrying the war further south? Having been given the inch he willtry hard totake the ell. And he will not want for advisers skillful enough to show him how to take his ell with advantage. The great gatheringof British fronclads at Alexandria is intended to impress the youth- ful potentate withasense of the enormous power of his British protectors and also the necessity of conforming his policy to their wishes. But as France, Russia, Italy and Germany have also made naval demonstra- tions, the effect ofthe display may not be very great. AS OF OLD. It is understood that the Firman confides to Abbas the guardianship of all those Egyptian possessions dependent upon the Ottoman Empire, asthe previous Firman had confided them to his brother, Tewfik. This proceed- ing will be attended with great pomp and circumstance, for which England cares noth- ing. She means to retain a foothold on the Nile and continue the work of absorbing Egypt. This is clearly shown by the opposition to the Egyptian proposition of constructing a railway up the Nile Valley to Dongola, which would open a commercial road to the Soudan and Central Africaand bring a traffic of the most lucrative nature over Egyptian terri- tory and for the benefit of Egypt, English advisers instead suggest that a route be opened from Berber, on the Nile, to Suakim, on the Red Sea, which would secure the same lucrative traffic for the British steamship companies at Port Suakim and to the detri- ment of Egypt. GERMAN MINISTRY. FURTHER CHANGES IN THE CABINET—THE EDU- CATION BILL. BERuIN, April 4.—The Ministerial changes arising out of the recent crisis bave been definitely completed by the appointment of Herr Hanauer as_ direc- torin the office of Justice of the Empire. Herr Hanauer was gazetted to-night as the successor of Dr. von Bosse as Secretary of State in the office of Justice in the Empire. Herr Hanavuer has a good record as director of the department. The powers of Count Von Eulenburg as President of the Prussian Ministry will be tested on Tuesday next, when the Centrists in the Lower House propose to debate his appointment by challenging the allowance for the President of the Council. The Clerico- Conservative majority rejoice at the chance to show their hostility by a rejection of the credit. The National-Liberals, and the Frelsinnige party are also reluctant to grant the money. The present session of thefLandtag will close on April 68. The members are baffled and are furious Over the with- drawal of the primary education Dill. The Clerico-Conservatives will give the Government a parting kick, but even the re- jection of the credit made necessary by the separation of the functions of the Imperial Chancellor andthe chief of Prussian Cabinet will not lead to an immediate ministerial crisis. The Centrist leader, Herr Schorlemen -Alst, announces that the resumption of the educa- tion bill will be the foremost plank in the electoral programme of the Centrist deputies. Count Von Schouvaloff, the Prussian Am- bDassador to Germany, has made overtures to Ohancellor Von Caprivi with a view to the restoration of the com- mercial entente between Russia and Germany. No news’ for a long time has awakened more interest. The initiative was taken* solely by Count Von‘ Schouvalof. The | | Ozar is reluctant to give his assent. This news ought for a time at least to check the war rumors. The leading solid fact regarding war preparations is that the Rus- sian army is not fit for the fleld. The new equipment will not be ready before the autumn of 1894, AFRICAN UPRISINGS, TROUBLE ON THE GOLD COAST—THE DAHOMAN ADVANCE. LONDON, April 4.—Advices from East Africa state that there has been trouble lately among the natives on the gold coast. The chief seat of the unrest was in the eastern Sorbo country, and arose out of the conflict of British sanitary regirements with native customs. Sakitty, the King of East Corbo, died recently after a few days’ illness, and, according to native custom, was buried in his hguse. Commissioner Williams, how- ever, insisted upon burial in the proper place, ana ‘told the natives that intramural burials had been prohibited by ordi- hance. A dispute arose on the point, which resulted in an attack upon the Com- missioner, who took shelter in a German house, and telegraphed to the Gov- ernor. Hostilities were averted, Sakitty being exhumed and reinterred elsewhere... The late King held a collar and sword from Queen Victoria, bestowed upon him by Her Majesty for efficient service rendered to the British Government inthe Ashantee war of 1873-74, although he was practically forced to side with the British under pain of death and im- mediate occupation of the country. Other- wise, it is stated, the late Chief was disposed to sympathize with the Ashantees. An official dispatch from Porto Novo states that the Dahomans continue to advance to- ward thecoast,and thatthey are gaining large reinforcements to their ranks. The dispatch adds, itis expected that they will attack Porto Novo to-day. RUSSIAN RELIEF, FOOD GOING TO THE SUFFERING—THE MIS- SOURI’S CREW HONORED, MrBav, Russia, April 4.—The first train-load of the cargo ofthe steamer Missourl, which brought to this port from New York an im- mense quantity of four and grain given by Americans for the rellef of the starving Ras- sian peasants, will start for Orenburg this evening. The Missouri, which sails under the British flag, is commanded by Capt. Fin- ley. Yesterday in the presence of all the natables of ths town Count Dobrinsky pre- sented Capt. Finley witha splendid antique Russian tea service. In replying to the pre- sentation speech Capt. Finley expressed him- selfas deeply touched at the appreciation shown for his slight services in bringing to Russia the offerings of charitable Americans, who had always shown themselves ready to respond in the most free-handed manner to appeals for aidfrom any nation. A grand banquet will be given Wednesday evening to the American visitors, including the three American relief commissioners. TRADE PARALYZED. DISASTROUS EFFECTS OF THE BRITISH MINERS’ STRIKE. Lonpon, April 4.—The effects of the strike of the coal miners in Durham threaten to be more deplorable than was anticipated by any one who has examined intothetrouble. The stocks of fuel. in the large factories arealmost gone, and it is probable that ina few weeksa number of heavy failures will be announced. There has never been so gravea crisis in the history of trade and industry in the North of England. All the berths on the river Tyne are occupied by vessels made idle by the strike, and firms with a European reputation are in jeopardy. Hugecoal yards, formerly the scene of the busiest activity and on which entire communities depended for their ex- istence, are now idle. The strike hasal- ready done more harm than any modern strike, and its effects become worse dally. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. EXPLORING DAVIS STRAITS—DEEPENING THE MERSEY—BRIEFS. Lonpon, April 4.—Sir Henry Booth, on board the yacht Kara, started from Wiven- hoe, England, to-day, bound for Davis Straits to explore the whale fishing grounds. The Kara is a heavily- built vessel of seventy -seven tons. She is double-sheathed and her bows are plated. She is well provisioned for a two years’ cruise and is manned by twelve Scotch sailors, all of whom are experienced in Arctic explorations. Capt. Ashby is in command of the. vessel. Admiral Sir F. W. Richards, who has been examining into the question of deepening the water at the mouth of the River Mersey, has made areport in which he says that it is feasible by dredging the bar at the mouth of the river, to procure such a depth of water as will enable the heaviest draught steamers to entertheriver at any time, without rogard to the tides. The water on the bar has al- ready been deepened five feet, and the Mer- sey conversaucy has decided to completely dredge the bar, as suggested in the Admiral’s report. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION. BERLIN, April 4.—The feeling against the Jesuits, aroused during the struggle over the primary education bill, when it was charged that one object of the measure was tointro- duce the Jesuits into Prussian schools, has not abated. The authorities of Dortmund, Prussia, a strongly Lutheran town, have prohibited the Jesuits from holding an intended conference at that place. The Jesuits and ultramontanes generally are very indignant, and Father Gran- derath, the noted Jesuit, will, it is said, ap- peal to the Reichstag against what js claimed to be nothing short of religious perseqution, THE INDIAN RUPEE. Lonpon, April 4.—In the course ofa long article on the grave situation in India grow- ing out of the fallin the price of the rupee, the 7imes to-day says: ‘‘Fromjthe time of the demonetization of silver in 1873 to the passage of the Bland bill India has been helpless. She sees her currency the plaything of foreign legislation. ‘The present rates of exchange are an intimation to everybody and to every firm with money invested on India that they may soon have to write off its value one-half of what it was valued at twen- ty-fiVe yearsago. As farascan beseen the rupee has not yet reached its lowest value, and that it will scarcely reachiits lowest point without the American treasury continues to make enforced purchases of silver,’ BULGARIA ARMING, Sori1a, April 4.—An order has been sent by the Bulgarian Government to the Austria small arms manufactory at Steyr for 40,000 Mannilicher rifles and 6,000 carbines. The former are to be delivered as follows: Twelve thousand in April, 14,000in May, and 14,000 in June. The6,000carbines arealso to be de- livered inJune. Bulgaria will then possess 140,000 rifles and 6,000carbines, and hers will be the first of the Balkan armies provided with an excellent rifle of small caliber, Margaret Mather’s Divorce. CHICAGO, Ill., April 4.—Actress Margaret Mather’s application for divorce, reported in Pittsburg as having been filed here a month ago, was made public to-day. It wasnot handed into court until Saturday, and was suppressed for service until this morning. Orchestra Leader Emil Haberkorn, the hus- band, is charged with desertion. Thespecial clause is inserted whereby, if divorce ranted, the parties are at liberty to marry CLAIM EVERYTHING Close of the State Campaign in Rhode Island. BOTH POLITICAL PARTIES CONFIDENT OF VICTORY, Republicans on the Defensive in a Protec- tion Stronghold — Gen. Grosvenor Thinks Harrison and Cleveland Will Be the Nominees—The Ohio Gerry- mander—General Political News. PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 4.—The prepara- tory work for the ‘State election on Wednes- day is nearly over. Buta few more meetings are to be held and none of those are of much importance except the Republican gath- ering In the city to-night, which is to be addressed by the Secretary of the Navy and Congressman Burrowsof Michigan. A mass- meeting of the Republicans will be held to- night in Pawtucket, where ex-Speaker Reed will speak, and Speaker Barrett of the Mas- sachusetts House of Representatives. The Democrats have finished theirlarge gather- ings, but some meetings will be held in various parts of the State to-night and to- morrow. Both parties claim to be confident of the result, but the indications point to the election of a Republican majority in the Legislature. The State ticket is likely to fail of an election, with the Democrats securing a plurality of the votes cast, which will; however, be of no avail in case of the election of a Republican Legisla- ture. Senator Aldrich states that he con- Siders the outlook very satisfactory for the Republicans and hopes that they will receive a plurality vote for State officers, as this will be taken as an indication of the vote on the Presidential election, which is by plurality instead of by majority, as in the State con- test. The Democrats claim thata plurality vote on State officers is assured them, and they hope fora majority, too, as well as the balance of power in the Legislature. GROSVENOR’S ESTIMATE. THE GENERAL THINKS HARRISON AND CLEVE- LAND WILL BE NAMED. New York, April 4.—Gen. Charles H. Gros- venor of Ohio was inthecity Thursday. He said that there was a possibility that he might go to Rhode Island, though he was not feeling physically able to enter on hard campaigning. ‘‘*‘The Legislature of Ohio has completed the re-districting of the State,’’ hesaid. ‘‘l believe under the changes made the Republicans will be the gainers, having ubout fifteen districts. The Democrats form- erly had that number.’’ **Who is the choice of the parties for presi- dential candidates?’’ ‘*There seems not to be much opposition to Harrison. The convention will be held the last week in April, andinthe absence of an- other candidate a Harrison delegation is likely to be chosen. The Democrats have not yet calied their convention.’’ Gen. Grosvener was quoted by his friends as having given it as his opinion that the Dewmagents of Ohlo will be-solia for Cleve- and. Pe OVER THE FIELD. CONTEST OVER A COUNTY TREASURERSHIP— POLITICAL NOTES. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 4.—County Treasurer ad interim F. J. Buxton filed his bond of $1,000,000 and formally demanded possession of the office from the suspended Treasurer, H, O. Petersen. This was refused by that official on the advice of his attorneys who claim that the Governor’s order of suspen- sion was illegal because signed while he was in Chicago and outside the State. They also claim that the law is unconstitutional. It is evident that.a hard legal struggle Is dt hand. An attempt may be made by the authorities to dispossess Petersen by force and he has prepared forsuch anemergency, but it is deemed unlikely. An appeal to the Supreme Court by the Attorney-General will probably be made. PEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, ALTON, Illl., April4.—The Madison County Democratic Convention metin the City Hall at 11 o’clock with every township repre- sented. Hon. A. W. Hope of Alton was chosen chairman and J. J. Mumme of Euwardsville and M. M. Powell of Collinsville were chosen secreta- ries. Committees on resolutions and the ap- pointment of delegates to the State and Uon- gressional Conventions were appointed, and the convention adjourned for dinner. Hon, W. QO. Forman and Hon. N. Perrin are both here. The convention will probably instruct for Congressman Forman, JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

A Philadelphia Bank Ordered to Close— The Latest Maverick Dividend. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 4.—Acting under the authority conferred on him by acts of As- sembly, State Commissioner of Banking Charles H. Krumbhaer to-day stepped into the office of the Mutual Banking Surety, Trust & Safe Deposit Co., No. 17 Arch street, and ordered business suspended ana its doors closed pending a full inquiry into its methods of doing business. Very little could be learned about the cause of the trouble, but one party connected with the company stated that its finances werein an excellent condition and thatthe difficulty was only a technical one, and added: ‘*According to Mr. Krumbhaer’s interpretation of the State banking laws, this institution has not complied with all the provisions set forth therein and hecalled here and directed the officers to suspend operations until the law had been fully complied with.’’ MAVERICK BANK DIVIDEND. Wasnineton, D.C., April 4.—The Comp- troller of the Currency has di- rected the Receiver of the Maver- ick National Bank of Boston, Mass., to prepare checks for a third dividend of 15 per cent upon claims presented in addition to the 60 per cent heretofore presented claimants, making 7% percentinall. It is expected that the checks will be ready for delivery about the 15th inst, HEAVY RUN ON A BANK. Arron, O., April4.—The fact that A. T.

New Orleans Visited by a Destructive Fire. . NEw ORLEANS, April 4.—In two fires yester- day, four cotton presses, covering five squares of territory, and sfx squares of residences were destroyed. The cotton press fire started amid some cotton on the sidewalk in front of the Fire Proof Cotton Press. A passer-by, it is thought, threw away a cigarette, which fellin the cotton. The flames reached the 80,000 bales of cotton in the press and de- stroyed it ell. The Shippers* Press was the next to catch, and three-fourths of the 50,000 bales went up smoke and flames. The flames continued southward and consumed the Independent Press, with 5, _ Dales of cotton, The New Orleans press, the largest in the city, and stored with 40,000 pales, followed the others toruin. With the assistance of a firecomparpy from Mobvile the flames were checked at this point and incalculable dam- age prevented. The residents for three blocks around the presses removed their fur- niture in fear of the flames. The wall of the re Proof Press at Terpsichore and _ Peters streets’ fell while the firemen were the building, and Capt. pree, Lieut. Shaw and Pipeman Bordeaux of Company No. 18 were caught beneath the mass. They were soon rescued, and Dupree was found to be only Slightly injured, the others seriously. The Fire Proof Press was valued at $100,000, the Shippers’ at $10,000, the Independent at $100,000, the New Orleans at $200,000, Ail these belonged toa British syndicate which bought them two days ago. About eighty- five thousand bales of egftton were burned, which, at the rate of $30a@ bale represents a loss of $2,550,000. The cotton was mostly insured in foreign companies, but the build- ings and machinery were insured in home companies. It was while the entire Fire Department was at work on the cotton-pfess fire that the sec- ond conflagration br out, which swept away four squares of dwellings and stores in the poorer section of the city, This fire started ina cottage on Laurel, near Third street, and as it was mearly an hour before engines were ordered there from the burning cotton- presses, it had destroyed the block by the tims the department began fighting it. With such a start andwith a high wind blowing, the flames were uncontrollable. With the exception of three dwellings in the square between Constance, Laurel, Second and Third streets, the fire made a clean sweep of everything between Laurel and Magazine and between First and Third, spreading to. Annunclation. About 115 dwellings and one church, the First Baptist on Third and Magazine, were destroyed. The fire was prevented from spreading across Magazine by the department making a desperate fight there with Sigmund Ketz’s brick dwelling formingabarrier. This was the only thing that save@ the aristocratic portion of the city from destruction. The total loss by this second freis estimated at over $1,000,000, which falls principally upon local insurance companies, INCENDIARY WORK. PANAMA, April 4.—The town of Culebra, ten miles from here, has been partially destroyed by fire. Itis one ofthe principal stations of the canal. It wasthe work of incendiaries and started near the canal machine shop, which narrowly escaped being consumed, An entire block was burned. It covered 45,000 square meters and contained seventeen houses, including the Canteen, Ohinese shops, the Anglican church and _ several canal barracks. The loss was $2,000. A negro who was looting Was stabbed. A Chinaman was burned to death. A later at- tempt to fire another part of the town was frustrated, The police haveno clew to the perpetrators. FOUR INCENDIARY PERES. MONTREAL, April 4.—This city was beset yesterday by a number of fires, which, in four instances, were of incendiary origin. At the last fre anattempt was made to destroy the Bonsecourse Market. It came near being a success, and before ft was got under control eighteen firemen were Overcome by smoke and had tobe laid off for atime. Two cases are likely to prove fatal. Loss about $100,000. HOSPITAL SCORCHED. ASHLAND, Wis., April 4.—Fire in the Rine- hart Hospital last night caused a panic amongthe fifty inmates. All were finally rescued in safety, but many had narrow escapes from suffocation. After a desperate fight the firemen saved the building, the loss being but slight. LABOR NEWS. Sweating System Investigated by a Con- gressional Committee. CurcaGo, lll., April 4.—The sub-committee of the House Committee on Manufactures ap- pointed to investigate the sweating system in the leading commercial cities is holding its first meeting outside of Washington here today. Representative De Witt War- ner of New Yogk is Chairman, Sher- man Hoar of Massachusetts Secretary and the other members are M, D. Loganof Loulsiana, and E, R. Taylor, Ohio. The committee held an executive session in Judge Harlan’s room of the Government building this morning, and this afternoon will hear statements from local labor people regarding the prevalence of ‘‘sweating’’ in Chicago. It is thought by some members of the commit- tee that the investigation may stir up the State Legislatures to take action against the evils of sweating, and also that it may result in national legislation in the shape ofa regu- lation on interstate commerce. DEMAND EIGHT HOURS. New York, April 4,—The cabinet makers and varnishers of this city went on a strike this morning. They demand eight hours’ work a day and the establishment of the old rate of pay. One-third of the cabinet makers firms have granted the request, and about one-fourth of the varnishers’ employers. Over a thousand men are on a strike, PRINCE MICHAEL Testimony of a Young Girl Who Was Ruined by the Long-Haired Prophet. DeTROIT, Mich., April4.—The examination of ‘‘Prince’’ Michael Mills and Lizzie Vourt, members of the ‘‘Flying Roll’’religious sect who are ¢harged with various acts ofim- morality took place tgq.day. Bernice Bechel, the 15-year-old girl wh charges the ‘‘Prince’’ witha grave crime, was the first witness. She began her testimony by stating that she made the ‘‘Prince’s’’ acquaintance at the house of her unclein Sarnia. Later she went to Detroit. From here she received a letter from the ‘‘Prince.’’ In it she was ordered to join him, as she was ‘‘called by God to take the tenth place in the God-head respecting obedience.’’ She came to Detroit with her mother and another lady and met Miller at the house of one of the ‘*Prince’s’’ followers. Soon after this she was installed asa per- manent meniber of the Prince’s household and for some time past a criminal intimacy has existed between them. Michael still maintainsa stolid indifference while inthe court room. The testimony of the gtrl seems to produce little impression upon him, QUIETING DOWN. Prompt Measures Prevent an Uprising in Buenos Ayres. Boexnos AYRES, April 4.—The excitement which has prevailed here for some days past in consequence of the fears that the Radicals were about to overthrow the government is quieting down, and it is believed that the de- cisive action of the authorities in ordering to the city large detachments of artillery and cavalry has had the effect of puttinga damper on any revolutionary ideas entertained by the Radicals. To-day telgraphic and postal communication has been restored, and save for the unusually large number of soldiers FOR CHILD MURDER. Opening of the Case Against Annie Margaret Montague. RELIGIOUS PREJUDICES A FEATURE OF THE TRIAL, George A. Stillwell, Who Has Many Aliases, Identified as a Murderer—An All-Round Record of Crime—Negro Desperado Killed—-Wholesale Ticket Robbery—Criminal News. DUBLIN, April 4.—Intense interest is mani- fested here in the trial of Mrs. Annie Mar- garet Montague, wife of Mr. Robert Acheson Cromie-Montague, of Cronmore House, Townland of Ballylease, County of London- derry, who was indicted here on Saturday for manslaughter for killing her 8-year-old daughter, Helen, and for cruelty to Austin, Walter and Gilbert, three of her sons, under the age of 14 years. The trial was set for March 17 at the Londonderry Assizes, but her counsel, Mr. William McLaughlin, Q. C., and Mr. John Ross, Q. C., made application for a change of venue on the ground that public feeling in Ulster was so against their client, who was a convert to Catholicism, that it would be impossible for her to obtaina fair and impartial trial there, where religious feeling was very high. The application was granted, andthe case was transferred tothe Dublin Assizes, where it came on for trial to- day. Atanearly hour crowds collected in the vicinity of the Court-house and immediately after the opening of the court-room it was filled with an interested crowd, who eagerly discussed the case inall its bearings before the hour set for the formal entry of the, Judge. After the Judge had taken his seat Mr. J. Atkinson, Q. OC., Solicitor- General for Ireland, who prosecuted the case, said that the crown did not charge the prisoner with the inten- tion to kill or injure her daughter Helen. Owing to the extreme and unreasonable pun- ishment she had inflicted upon her, resulting in the girl’s death, she was guilty of man- slaughter, as charged in thetrue Dill the Grand-jury had returned against her. Much delay was met with in securinga jury. Mrs. Montague’s counsel challenged every Protestant among the talesmen, and the crown objected to a number of Catholics. Finally twelve men were secured and the in- dictment was read to the accused. She pleaded not guilty to all the counts therein. The crown decided to proceed against her on the indictment charging her with man- slaughter. The details of the crime charged sgainst Mrs. Montague, which were fully cabled at the time, have causedjmore comment than any murder in Irigh criminalannals. The child, a little daughter 3 years old, had been badly used by its governess, in addition to being the object of hatred of its mother. For some childish escapade on the partof her charge the governess locked the little girl up in a dark room as punish- ment and then informed the mother, Mrs. Montague, of the child’s offense and the punishment she had meted out to her for it. The mother, hg tothe dark room in which the child been confined hy the governess, tied her baby daughter’s arms behind her back and wound the end of the cord about the child’s arm to aringinthe wall, half stringing her up and fastening her to the wall, The child cried piteously to be reléased, promising never to offend again; but the mother went away and locked the door behind her, After the mother left the child’s cries grew fainter and then ceased entirely. Three hours after her incarceration, when the door of the dark room was opened the child was found to be dead. She had been choked to death, her face being horribly distorted. The mother, Mrs. Montague, was at once taken into paerer cy © and in spite of the efforts of her influential friends and relations and in spite of the pleas of able counsel she was for- mally committed for trial om the charge of murder. Itissaid that other serious instances of cruelty upon the .part of Mrs, Montague to her child will be disclosed at the trial, which promises to be one of the most interesting and exciting which have occurred in this part of the country for many years past. Mrs. Montague was convicted of man- seuaates and sentenced to one year at hard a . AN ALL-ROUNDER, JOHN ARTHUR SIMPSON SEEKING NEW FIELDS OF LABOR. DOVER, N. H., April 4.—The picture of John Arthur Simpson, allas George Simpson, alias George A. Stillwell, formerly of Fredericton, New Brunswick, once a Baptist minister, later a burglar, horse-thief,~ incendiary, forger, bigamist and finally a murderer, has been identified as that of Julius McArthur, who killed Deputy Sheriff Charles H. Smith of New Hampshire May 16, 1891, while resisting aresst for stealing a horse, and who escaped from the jail in this city July 17, 1891. McArthur is supposed to have gone West. He is a remark- ably fluenttalker. Hecan preach a sermon, make a prayer or deliver a poetical oration ina manner to win high compliments, while his education and natural judgment enable him, where his record is not known, to gain consideration asa polished gentleman. The crime for which Simpson is wanted was com- mitted less than a month after his discharge from the State prison of Massachu- setts, after serving a three years’ sen- tence for Digamy. Leaving Boston he went to Vermont and there stole a horse and carriage at Enosburg Falls. He was over- taken near Farmington, N. H., withthe team and in the attempt to arrest him shot Officer Smith, who, however, held his prisoner until secured by others.

LITTLE Rock, Ark., April 4.—To-morrow Is the day set forthe trial of ex-Treasurer W. E. Woodruff. The history of the case has been fully printed. Woodruff was indicted asa defaulter to the State in the sumof $96,800. The announcement of Treasurer Woodruff’s defalcation was first. made on the 6th day of December, 1891, and created a de- cided sensation not only in Arkansas but throughout the country. The first estimate placed the amount in which he was short in his accounts with the State at $67,000, though later developments increased ‘the figures to |. nearly $100,000. A meeting of Woodruff’s bondsmen was held soon after reports of his shortage were made public, and the inves- tigation set on foot by them and the Governor of the State revealed a defalcation of $96,800. The matter was pre- sented to the Legislature, and, fora time, assumed a political phase, but the final re- sult was the indictment of Woodruff by the Grand-jury, charged with embezzling State funds andthe trial upon this charge. One notable incident of the investigation of Woodruff’s accounts was the arrest of J. L. Ray, one of the expert accountants employed in the case, charged with the theft of $100,000, alleged to bave been stolen from the treasury Vaults pending the investigation. The cause of Woodruff’s troubles ts the old story of a public officer’s serving friends by lending them the people’s money anda their failure to keep faith with him. The trial took place last November, and on the 18th of that month the jury, after being out some time, failed to agree on a verdict, and were discharged. They stood six to six, A new trial was then ordered. On the 25th of last February Attorney-Gen-~ eral Atkinson, acting under instructions from Gov. Eagle, filed a suit in Chancery Oourt against Woodruffand his bondsmen. Wood- ruff was Treasurer of Arkansas five terms, and every bondsmanon each bond is made defendantinthe suit. The sureties are ali prominent citizens residing in different sec- tions ofthe State. The amount sued foris $150,000. The complaint is a very lengthy doc- ument, andafter citing the fact of Wood- ruff’s election and qualifying as State Treas- urer, alleges that on the 12th day of January, 1881, Woodruff, in his capacity as Treasurer, received from his predecessor in office a large amount of money and securities, as follows: In United States currency..... coves eves $ 9O,R52 O7 i os coccccee GFL, 408 16 2,393 29 interest thereon In levee bonds and coupons............... 6& In thirty years 6 per cent State bonds..., Em 1OVOO WAFTOMEBs ...c0cccccercccces a6 sees 12 In reclamation certificates..... .....4 -...e.

Foundations ofa Bridge Undermined—-A Freight Train Plunges Into the Chasm— A Black Sea Steamer Sinks With 200 Passengers—Mad Dog Scare—Casualty Record. ARCADIA, Mo., April 4.—An Iron Mountain northbound stock train,consisting of six cars and the engine, went through the bridge at Sabula, Mo., between Hogan and Annapolis, south of this point, and 108 miles from St. Louis, about 3 o’clock this morning. Brakeman Royer was instantly killed and the engineer and fireman of the train had a narrow escape from death, it being at first reported thatthey also were killed, but they subse- quently turned up all right. The trestle bridge where the accident occurred is known as the Sabula Bridge, near Sabula, a little station between the points named. The bridge collapsed while the stock train was passing over it, precipitating the train into the water. The train and engine were totally wrecked. General washouts are reported this morning all along the Iron Mountain line in this section, which is in the rough cofintry of the Ozark Mountains, and a wrecking train bas been sent out from St. Louls, while traffic has been te warily stopped. % BURNED TO DEATH. LEADVILLE, Colo., April 4.—A fire attended by fatal results occurred here yesterday. The immense boarding house owned by Mrs. Fitz- gerald caught fire, and was entirely con- sumed. John Kearney, one of the boarders, was burned to death. John Noble was seri- ously burned. The fire started bya miner leaving acandle burning, which set fir‘ to the canvas in his room, KILLED IN A WRECK. CHARLESTON, W.

The action of Congress on the question of free coinage of silver is an important gain ih the direction of confidence. The silver fac- tion in Congress had summoned its whole forces to the last man, and its deféat putsa quietus on the agitation, not only for the present session but in all probability for a permanency. This new stage in the silver agitation 1s not without its importance to the stock market. There is good reasonto suppose that from 125,000,000 to 150,000,000 of our securities have been returned from Europe since the Govern- ment purchases of silver bullion were in- creased to 54,000,000 ounces per year; the in- ence being that foreigners regarded the drift of our legislation as calculated to result in our investments becoming largely payable in silver of uncertain value. ‘ihis we will halt, if indeed it may not be succeeded by a repur- chase of stocks and bonds which bave n senthome, Taking the vote on the silver question as a whole, therefore, it is to be re- garded as the most important ‘gain towards confidence that has befallen Wall street fora =e period. ith these two drawbacks—the silver bill andthe Behring Sea question—temporari out of the way at least, the market is } more free to respond to natural influences, The low prices of wheat, cotton, iron and silver discourage important interests, and offset the advantages of abundance to roducers; but it should not be overioohen _ ve Sy ~~ yoo stimulate cheap fron great of consumers benefit by cheap wheat ton, There is sound reason for confidence in nd Marae ae A. — ae shares, either ma ation or ou e buying will sooner or later assert itself.

I call the attention of the House and the country to the articio published in the December number of the ufetin, a periodical published quarterly by National Association of ool Manu- h North is himself the the author which I quote. On page of that number he peonsens to explain the dia- grain, a copy of which he first sent to the committee, as follows: ‘*The are of this diagram is te demonstrate the trut the pre sition elaborated in the last number of the Bulletin, that the wool in the United States varies in ee price of wool in the marsew ac we tee va ermin prima " vain in those maskaes deel in order to correct its rise and tall we must be in possession vo ac revarding the general business conditions in this and . other countries, and particulary the conditions surrognding the w manufacture. From @x- wract is will appear shat the price of wool in the ‘nited States varies not in accordance with the tariffon wool, batin sympathy with the tee of woul in the markets of the werld; trimarily by its markots; and that in order to correctly tmterpret its rise and fall we mast be in possession of sll the facts pe’ eeteeny the general bueiness condition in this and other countries and particalarly the conditions sar- rounding the woo! manuflactaring.’’ TARIFF CONTROLS. This is precisely the position taken oy our commit- tee in the extract heretofore quoted and published on pages 20 and 21 of the committee re- port. ft ts the tariff that controls the tee of American wool; it fixes the value of wool in the world’s markets. Mr. North, in the editorial re- ferred toon page 363, says: **‘The price of Ohio washed fleece wool previous to the last two years has quite untformmly been higher phen the price of the nearest corresponding grade of Australian wool ase Phillip ea bat rarely by the full amount f daty wpe class 1 wool.’’ Hore it will be seen that Mr. North stated that the Ohio washed fleece is the American wool which most nearly corresponds in grade to the Australian or Port Phillip fleece. The committee called upon the Burean of Statistics to furnish i¢ with prices of an American wool which was the nearest corresponding to some foreign wool, so as to determine the relative value (which is always determined by the riee) of like quality in both markets. This information was given and Ohio washed eece and the Port Phillip fleece have been recog- nized by the mercantile world for more than & quar- ter of a century ae wool of the nearest corresponding grade. And these two wools being of nearest corre- sponding grade, it will appear by the table furnished for the twenty-three years indicated, are of practi- cally the same value fn Both countries, for value is determined by price,the price at which each showed, showing that on the average the foreign was worth a quarter of a cent more in London than the Ohio wool was worth in Boston. In the Buiietin of the National Association for the quarter ending ey ony er 1891, thisappears edi- torialiy, @oubtiess furnished bv Mr, North, in which he states: ‘‘The sympathy of markets is world wide, and the law of supply and demand penetrates every- where as earely as water seeks its level. The tariff permitsus to largeiy control ovr own market; but even when controliing it, we must accept values that are beyond ourcontrol.’’ Page Z50. Here Mr. North admits that the tariff on wool per- mits us toJargely control our own market. In this statement Mr. North itna@vertently gives away his ase. The Ameri¢an woo) merchants do not control the home market,and the price which the farmers get is largely controlled by them, always having in view the fact thatthey must aiways accept Values that are beyond control. Mr. North also stateson page xy of the same Bulletin as follows: **Foreign wools imported do not represent an equal number of pounds of domestic wool displaced, but increase the market for the domestic wool.’ If the foreign wool tnereases the market for do- mestie wool why not let it come ia without attempt- ing to keep it out by atariffef 11 cents a pound in the grease, 22 cents a pound washed and 35 centsa pound scoured. Itshould be remarked in this con- nection that the word ‘*Ohio’’ applied to wools is not limite? to wools grown in that State, bus to all wools of like grade in the United States. The Ohio mediam wool and the Port Phillipare both washed wools; the tariff on the importation of the Port Phil- lip fleeoe would be 22 cents a pound. If protec- tion to American wool protected fto the mount of the tariff, the OUhio wool should be worth vy cents a pound more than it actually was during the twenty-five years covered by the present tariff. In May, 1872, the price of Uhio medium as appears by the fable printed on page 41 cf the committee’s report,jreached 70 cents in gold and the price of Port Phillip fleece in London was only 47 cents, a dif- ference of : cents in favor of our wool. This is the only time since the woo! tariff, 1866, that the American producer realized the protection to which he was entitied, if protection actually protects in his case. This circumstance is expiained as Mr. Avery stated ‘‘showing the wild speculation in wools ofall kinds in the United States,’’ and also by the further fact which appears in a table priggod on page 83 of the report, namely that during the year 1872, the imports of foreign wool reached 126,000,000 pounds, while the aver- age imports of wool for the five years preceding were coy ; 000 pounds foreach year, This immense increase In importation has brought foreign wool into competition with the domestic article; it will aiso Re seen that the production of domestic ool for 1872 was only 150, ,000 of pounds, while the production for 1869 was 150, ,0OvO pounds, thus shewing a large faliing off in production and immense increase inimports. These two facts ex- lain the conditions which prevailed in 1871 to 1872 s described by Mr. Avery and caused the ‘ ‘fabulous peodes realized ay speculators,’’ etc. But allowing he Onbio wool this advantage which existed but for one month the general average for the twenty-five years showed less than half a cent a pound more in value in the Ohio wool than the corresponding grade uf Australian wool in London. Mr, North on dage 258 of the same article gives the following encouragement to American Wool growers? **There ie nothing in the future which need alarm or discourage the American wool grower. He must learn to be satisiied wae a sinall proms on his wool.’’ is may be consoling to the American wool emust, under protective tariff, expect If, however, he would pocneey him, that he under the highest the tor and he article from tie here is ower. emahlerprofit on his wools. ealize that protection doés not oes not get as much for his woo rotection as he would get without it, he need not e content with asmalier profton hia wool. For- eign wools, as Mr. North stated, ‘‘will not displace an equal nuinber of pounds of domestic wool, Lut will increase the market therefor.’’ IXFLUSNCE OF INCRBASED DEMAND. An increased demand will produce an increased price. Theimpenting dillisin the interest of the wool grower as well as the wool manufacturer, but is especially in the interest of the consumer. If the ro- port of your committee is carefully considered it will be seen that the experience of the past quarter of acentury of high protective tariffs on wool and y protective tariffs on woolen goods has proved to be disastrous to the woo! grower, disastrous to the wool manufacturer an disastrous American consumers. In conclusion, Mr, Chairman, I aesire to call at- tention to the fact thatthe piacing of raw sugar on the free list andthe corresponding reduction of the duty on refined sugar by the act of Vct. 1, 1890, caneed an increased consumption of sugar to the amount of 23 96-100 percent duringthe year 1891, the first year after its passage. ‘he passage of the pending bill wili havea similar effeet, it will cause ap in¢reased consumption of weolen goods to an egualamount. fuch an increase in the consumption woolen goods during the first vear after its passing would cause & demand for more wooleu establishments and cause the 271 establishments which were idle during 1890 to be started upagain. It will demand an increase £ captie: te such qgtablishmente to the amount of $74, ,OO00O; an inctease in materials to be used to the emmount of $48,000,000, inthe proeduct of woolen goods; a demand for 61,000,000 pounds more of comnee wool, and for 27,000,000 fpounds more of oréign wool. It will give einployment in woolen and will in- wo the 0 factoriesto 52,000 more hands crease the amvutint of wages to be aid te ench hands to the amount of 18, ,000 of dollars, With increased demand tor wool, prices of wool will increase, and with this increased demand for labor wages Will alsoincrease. Pass this bill and thousands of feet, heretofore bare, thousands of limbs heretofore naked wiil beciothed in suitable ottey ae | and the condition of all the people will be mproved. Those who favor its passage may be as- sured that they have done soinething to promote the eneral weal, something *‘to scatter plenty o'er our miling land.’’ NATIONAL CAPITAL, THE PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS—WASHINGTON NEWS. WASHIxGTON, D. C., April 4.—The expecta- tion of an interesting discussion on the sliver question, based upon Mr. Morgan’s resolution instructing the Committee on Finance to examine and report upon certain phases ot the oenarces seemed to have no particu- larly attractive power on the gefieral public, for the galleries to-day had even lesé than the usual number of spectators. the famous McGarraghan Claim made its appearance in the shape of a bill reported by Mr. Teller from the Committee on Judiciary to submit to the Court of Claims the title of McGarraghan to the grant of land so long claimed by him. It was placed on the calendar, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee reserving the right to oppose it, as he should termine after examining the ject. Sherman attempted to hold the silver talk by pore | up a bill fora uni- form standard of classification and grading of grain, but was stopped by an objection from senator Stewart. The appropriation biil pox got in the way, but Senator Vawes with- eld it temporarily. Mr. Morgan thereupon took the floor to ad- dress the Senate, but yielded to Mr, Wolcott, who gave notice that he would address the Sehate on the silver question Wednesday next. Mr. Morgan said he knew that the subject was one which struck the attentioi’ of Sena- tors in an alarming Way because the people of the United States were very earnest in their desire to haye soine relief from the existing financial condition and embarrassment. Mr. Morgan reviewed the silver legislation of recent years at cohsiderable length. The speaker was interrupted fre- quently by Messrs, Sherman, Carlisle and tewart trem time to time.

Internal Revenue Collector Wenneker 1s still awaiting official information from Wash- ington. When seen by a Post-DISPATCH representative this morning he said he was ‘still waiting for some authoritative news. ‘‘If Iam to be removed,’’ he said, ‘‘I will have a statement to make, but forthe present Idon’t care to discuss the matter. If there is a movement to eject me from office: as the pavers state, Ithink I ought to be givena chance to defend myself. Iam ready for any investigation; I don’t care who makes it. I can prove that I had no connection direct! or indirectly with this Tariff Debating Clu organized by Mr. Wiesehahn and other gentlemen connected with the office. if l am to be removed without being ex- tended any opportunity for defence, I will of course have to submit, but I challenge anybody to prove thatthere has been any- thing wrong or inefficient with my manage- nient of this office. If I amtogo out I will not suffer. I have a lucrative business which I have been neglecting for a longtime, If go out, I must, this business will receive more attention in the future.’’ PARKER’S CHANOES. An impression prevails generally that the administration leaders are booming Frank Parker, an attorney in the employ of the ’Frisco system. Mr. Parker is a bright law- yer and one of the most pronounced ot hl icansin the city. He formerly resided in Rolia,and made the race for Congress against Bland several years ago. He is considered a Silk Stocking Republican and his appoint- ment would be satisfactory to the anti-Fil- leyites. Another prominent poem. in connection with the office is Thomas J, Pros- ser, whoran for Congress against Seth W. Cobb two years ago and was badly snowed under, He was nominated by Filley, but it seems he got enough of Filleyism in that campaign to induce him to join the ranks of the opposition, He has many friendsin the Silk Stocking Committee and they may join in a request for his appointment. NIEDRINGHAUS INCENSED., Ex-Congressman F, G, Niedringhaus is a very close observer of all the Washington news mag iy on the Wenneker case. It was througn his influence that Mr. Wenneker was appointed to the Internal Revenue Collector- ship, and he is very much averse tothe removal of that official in consequence, Tosome of his friends, Mr. Niedringhaus said he would take it as a personal -affrouat if his friend Wenneker was decapitated. The friends of our ex-Congressman say that the party can iii afford to siight him now that he has entered the business of manu- facturing tin plate. This, is one of the best proofs beneficial resuits of the McKinley bill. The Administration supporters who are after Wenneker say to-day that it is yar a ~ tion of a day or two when his official Head will be taken. eae ne | after 2 o’clock to-day a report was received in the city that the President had decided upon Frank Parker, the Assistant Solicitor of the Frisco system,as Internal Revenue Collector Wenneker’s successor, Friends of Mr. Parker and other Republicans investigated the report but failed to confirm ONLY $4.50 for a Silk lined Box Containing 12 handsymely etched handled Triple Silver Plated Knives and Forks.

George Zielbauer, a cabinetmaker by occu- pation, residing at 2018 Farrar street, quar- reled with his wifethis morning over some trifiing family affair and in a fit of frenzy drew a pocket-knife and slashed her five times in the neck. Mrs. Zilelbuer at- tempted to prevent him from murdering her and threw up her hands to ward off his lunges. As a result she received several severe cuts on her hands. Before ZielDauer could finish the job of murdering the unfortunate woman geveral neigh- bors arrived on the scene and frightened himoff. He was afterwarn cap- tured, however, by Officer Meyer of the Twelfth District and locked up at the Angelrodt Street Station Dr, Stleger, who attended Mrs. Zilelbauer, Stated that one of the slashes narrowly escaped severing her jugular vein. As it is, none of her injuries, although painful, will result seriously. Had Burglars’ Tools. Frank Wilson,a man with many aliases, will be arraigned in the Second District Police Court to-morrow morning charged with carrying burglars’ tools, Last Friday evening Detectives Burke and Tracy arrested the man on general principles, When searched atthe Third District Police Station three of the finest safe drills made were found on his per- son, the authorities state. The man refuses to talk further than to say that his home Is at Petersburg, Ind., and that he has been in the city buta few days. The tools were stamped with thename of a prominent firm of St. Louis. Wilson’s photograph was taken by Harry Newbold yesterday morning. The police claim that Wilson isa dangerous man ang are determined to make him leave the olty. A Mysterious Assault. Eugene Schuster of 2814 Ohio avenue was assaulted by an unknown man on Cherokee street near Indiana avenue late last night and was severely cut in therightatm., An artery was cut and the man came near bleed- ingtodeath. Dominick Vergo of 3339 Indiana avenue was arrested by Officer Rudolph on suspicion, but Schuster could not identify him and he was released, Cut by a Private Watchman. James Clark, private watchman at the Cot- ton Compress Co.’s works on Main and Car- roll streets, had a fight with Gus Peters, one of the Workmen, this morning and cut him in the neck with a paper eraser.

Bise in a Canadian River Works Destruc- tion. MG@NTREAL, April 4.—The Salmon River in Huntington County, overflowed its banks yesterday, finding ventin the flats near by until the village of Dundee had the appear ance of one vast field of water dotted with houses. Then the ice began to break up in theriver with a tremendous rush. A channel was forced open and huge masses of icecame bearing down carrying with them the steamer Grenada to a mile below Dundee. Next came the «large iron highway bridge from Fort Uovington, N. Y., a mile below Dundee, floating on top of the ice and rushing along at a great rate of > This was followed in the same way by the Grand ‘Trunk Railway Bridge from near the same piace and the flume of one of the Fort Covington Mills, These were fol- lowed by the masses of Jumber, debris from bridges, trees, etc. A large number of boat-houses along the banks of the river were either carried away or ground to bits. The cause of the food was the breaking away of the Mears miijl dam near Fort Covington. All traffic on the Grand Trunk Railroad between Fort Covington and Messins is suspended for the present owing to the bridge having been carried away. LORENZO AND SAVONABOLA. The Magnificent Died Unabsolved and Unrepentant. From the Westminster Review. The Magnificent lay dying. The sins of his past rose up before himin mutinous array: absolution must be sought, Dut from whom? Around him was a crowd of courtiers and venal priests, who preached an elegant philosophy and practiceu coarse licentivus- ness. They had been the boon companions of his convivial moments. In the hourof death, when the shadows of an impenetrable future were already casting themselves ominously over a present fast oe from his grasp, Lorenzo turned from the priests of the circle with the sense of the hollowness of all the support and consolation they had to offer to the bed of death. ‘Their readiness to absolve him was a measure of the worthiessness of the absolution when it was obtained. Theh the vision of the one man who had ever denied his authority and denounced his administration rose up before Lorenzo—the Prior of San Marco, with his pronounced features, furrowed forehead, aquiline nose set mouth and linedcheeks. Intense mus have been the surprise of the great teacher Whenthe message reached him. ‘‘Lorenzo desires your presence.’’ Savonarola went at once, but not only, or even primarily, as the priest; be wasthe guardian of the Mberties of Florence. The coming interview was a great opportunity. Lorenzo and Savonarola metin the cham-- ber ofdeath, What passed can be, toa great extent, only matter for conjecture; for it ig improbable that witnesses would be present at such a scene, and for various and sufficient reasons neither actor In the momentons drama was likely to disclose the secrets of the interview. The story comes to us from the age of Savonarola of the three demands of the friar, cognate with the three great sins which specially disturbed the dictator’s conscience: A declaration of faith ih God and his church; restoration of that which had been wrongfully seized; lMberty for Florence, The second demand probably proved thecrux. At any rate, Savorarola went out from the presence unsatisfied, and Lorenzo the Magnificent died, unabsolved. Such, at any rate, is Villari’s account in sub- stance, which he defends in anote of Con- siderable argumentative power, There can be no doubt that this was the story, generally received in the century fol- lowing the death of Lorenzo, and although it is doubted by an authority like Ranke, and denied in toto by Roscoe, who makes Savon- arola unnaturally complaisant,the deduction from probability is all in its favor. = Social Life in Chicago, Although disguised with all the apptr.- tenances ofluxury and beatity in house dec oration, and expensive and beautiful dregs, Puritan New England lives again in the large and representative elemetit which rules Chi. cago society, writes Mrs. Reginald de Koven inthe April Ladies’ Home Journal. Thus it happens thatthe social atmosphere of this reat, rushing Western city in its higher ircles is purer and Clearer in its tone —it ie sate to say—than that of any other city of equal size in the history of the develop- ment of civilization. It has passed into a proverb that divorce is easy and prequent in Chicago, but the fact is that only t tor ai. vorce cases of peopie known to the world o society have been known in the history of the city. The old lines of duty to the domestic relations are inflexibly adhered oO and less count —- iven to an é6asier intérpretation of suc uties than in any other of the large cities of America. Wealth alsois soevenly an p- erally distributed that the possession of it, to alarge extent, is taken for granted, and judgment of character singulariy little affect- ed by it.

EO Mag oe ae eR St. Louis Post-Bisprtch, ondxy, April 4, 1889. INTHE STORM ZONE. a Another Cyclone Brewing in the West- ern States. KANSAS AND COLORADO THE CENTER OF DISTURBANCE. The Barometer Indicator at the Lowest “Point on Record— Heaviest Rainfall for Years at Farmington—Five Inches of . Snow Fell in Minnesota—The Local Re- port. KANSAS CiTy, Mo., April 4.—Dispatches from the West indicate that another cyclone threatens Kansas. The barometer has fallen to the lowest point ever known in this sec- tion, and dispatches from Denver say a storm is raging there, This morning high winds prevailed here, and there was every appearance of & repetition of Friday’s storm. Considerable excitement exists here over the very great possibility of tnis city being visited by a cyclone to-day. The Signal Service has sent outa bulletin, dismissing ail the schools and stating that the condi- tions fora cycione are favorable. The same barometer and conditions exist in North- western Kansas and this city that existed in the localities struck by the cyclone last week. The wind is blowing a gale here. RAIN AT FARMINGTON. FARMINGTON, Mo., April ¢.—The heaviest rainfall that has been experienced here for years occurred yesterday evening and last night. More than five inches of water fell within the space of twelve hours; the local streams are unprecedentedly full. It is re- ported that about 150 yards of the track of the st. L.,1.M. &L. Ry. are washed away just below De Lassus, and that more thana mile of the B., T. & M. Ry. is sweptaway. Much fencing and many bridges have been carried of, KILLED BY A TORNADO. CHERRYVALE, Kan,, April 4.—The country a mile east of Cherryvale was struck by a tornado about 10 o’clock last night and halfa dozen houses were demolished, two oe names unknown, bDeing = killed. n Cherryvale a woman was killed by ightning, but the wind did not touch the town. Dexter, in Cowley County, is also re- orted to have suffered fromthe wind. The Vestern Union wires are down again in some sections. The indications here to-day point to the probability of another wind storm before night. ‘The barometer is steadily faliimg, the sky is brassy anda strong south wind is blowing. An inky biack cloud is saidtobe hanging over the section southwest of ArKan- sas City, and the local weather bureau predicts more storms. C. L. West- late, whose skull was fractured during the storm which devasted Towanda on Thursday nizht, and the infant child of Elmer Hall whose leg was broken have been added to the list of fatalities since last night, making nine inall. The deathof Mrs. J. R. Kerr was in- correct. She is improving. A FREAK OF THE GALE. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., April 2.—Twice during the gale of yesterday the wind blew at @ velocity of seventy miles an hour. Atone ofthese intervals the yale accomplished a mostunacccuntable feat. Four years agoa four-story building was bullt, abutting the broken wall ofa building that had been de- stroyed by fire. The wall of the burned building remaining was more than one hundred feet long and nearly a story high, and the space be- tween the wall and that of the next building adjoining was not wide enough to introduce aknife-biade. Smallas the crevice was, the force of the gale acted on it like a wedge and laid the old wall flat as if separated witha knife, and wtheach brick remaining in its proper relation withthe others. ‘The loss tc the city by yesterday’s gale is estimated aj between $50,000 and $75,000. CYCLONE AT KIRKSVILLE. KIRKSVILLE, Mo., April 4.—A cyclone ac- companied with heavy rain struck this city ati10o’clock iast night doing considerable damage, but no fatalities reported. The entire upper frogt ofthe three brick build- ings, occupied by Cross & Bro., groceries, Cole & Green, furniture and J. E. Owen, grocery, were blown out, falling into the streetand the rearendof one building col- lapsed. Two new dwellings, owned by Thoms Sees, were lifted off their foundations and badly wrecked. The State Normal School building, which was un- roofed in Friday’s gale, was damaged tothe amount of $10,000 by the heavy rain of last night. The Mercantile College building is also badly damaged. HAIL AND RAIN, GREENSBURG, Pa., April 4.—A terrific wind, nailand wind storm, accompanied by light- ning, passed over the southern section of Westmoreland County at 7 last evening,doing great damage. The wind was very severe. The Scottdale Rolling Mill was badly wrecked. For a time the people were badly panic- strickenand fled to the basements of the houses, expecting every minute to be carried away by the gale. No one, however, was seriously injured. The loss to property can not be estimated at present. BRIDGE WASHED OUT. HILvLsBoRoO., Ill., April 4.—The flood that has Visited Central illinois has done thousands of dollars’ damage. The Big Four bridge over Shoal Creek, six miles west ofthis city, is washed away, and all trains go over the O. & M., and Wabash Raltlroads, East and West, via. Pana, Taylorville and Litchfield. TRACK WASHED OUT. ForT Mapison, lo., April 4.—Last night’s storm washed out 600 feet of track on the St. Louis, Kansas & Northern Railway and buried it four feet deep under the mud. Travel will will be delayed about eighteen hours. A MINE FLOODED. PLYMOUTH, April4.—The Nottingham mine of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Co., having the greatest output of any colilery in the anthracite regions, is flooded and will prob- ably remain so for many months. The trouble began on Thursday last and the water rose sorapidly that on Saturday all the large pumps inside were drowned and stopped. SNOW IN MINNESOTA. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., April 4.—Dispatches report a blizzard in the Northwest. At Miller, 6 D., rain, snow and nail have fallen steadily for twenty-four hours, filling creeks to overflowing. At Crookston, Minn., a bliz- gard from the Northwest is blowing hard. Five a of snow have fallen during the night. WIND AND RAIN. A Morning Storm Which Caused Much Damage by Flood and Wreck. At7 o'clock this morning a severe wind and rain storm swept over St. Louis, as the cul- mination of the rough weather prevailing for the past thirty-six hours, The wind trav- eled ina southerly direction at the rate of about fifty miles an hour, as registered by the Weather Bureau, and the rain, which for a few moments fell in floods, was carried almost horizontally bythe gale. Consider- ble damage by the flooding of low streets and subartan railroad tracks, and by the unroofing of houses and break- ing of windows is_ reported, and the immense passenger traffic of street railways to the business part of the city was tempora- rily embarrassed by the stormtoa consider. able extent. The Weather Bureau record of this morning’s storm is as follows: pega’ at 70’clock, the wind, traveling north, registered for three minutes a velocity of fifty milesan hour. From 7o’clock to 8:50 a. m. the rainfall was .60inch. The rainfall for the past thirty-six hours is as follows: rday morning aa ae Be TD. rvenerevees Peet eereeeeee CHP eee ey 60 _—— ——— From 8:50 to 1l a.

Louts on Jan. 1, 1890, when from midnight to 8 p. m. . there was a rainfall of 83.57 inches, and in the. forty -eight hours following midnight of that date a total rainfall over 65 inches. Signal Service Officer Hammond re- ports that the storm is not 0 rhe storm center this morning isin § Nebraska and Northern Kansas, mov! the northeast, and will pass through lowa day. For St. Louis the prediction is clearing weather by to-morrow night, with a fall of temperature by to-morrow morning of eighteen degrees, viz., from 58 degs., regis- tered this morning, to 40 degs. within the ensuing twenty-four hours. ‘ Reports of local damage from wind and rain during this morning’s storm are numer- ous, At the corner of Chouteauand Compton avenues, reaching northward to the railroad tracks, Overa block away, the entire street and the sidewalks on both sides were flooded, the water standing four feet deep in some laces and reaching also into the yards of the issour! Pacific shops to the east. All the cellars of buildings fronting to the east on the Compton avenue side of the block were filled with water and great damage done, The livery stable of Frank Grayer, 8201 Ohou- teau avenue, which opens on Compton ave- nue, has in its front a _ perfect lake of water about three feet deep, through which ail carriages entering and leaving the stable have to pass. There was formerly an inlet to the Mill Creek Sewer at this corner, but the bullding of the Missouri Pacific shops neces- sitated its closing. The condition of the street has been reported to the Health Com- missioner. DAMAGE TO THE PARKS, ‘*Forest Park was pretty badly torn up by the big rain storm,’’ said Park Commissioner Fechter this morning, ‘‘That impetuous Ht- tle upstart, the River Des Peres, broke loos® again this morning and tore several foot- bridges away from the banks. Ihave just received word from Supt. Callahan that there is only one foot- bridge standing and thut is playing havoc c The gravelroads are all furrowed with gullies caused by the flowing water;in some places the water tore up gravel and macadam completely, ruiningthe roads. Thisis very unfortunate as Il wanted all the money I could get for beautifying the park and didn’t anticipate any expenditures forrepairs. By the way the Carondelet people have been kicking fora pond in their park. They’ve got one this morning aboutten acres in ex- tent. The roads down there are completely rippedup. It will cost considerable to repair the drainage. . AT THE DEPOT. The great need ofthe city for a new Union Depot was evident to everybody at the old depot early this morning. ‘The tracks and the space between them were covered with water from 3 tosix inches deep, and about the only persons who left the depot with dry feet were those whohad worn water-proof boots and ladies and children who haa been carried toand fromtrains. Thescene for a time was not unlike a street scenein the City of Mexico directly after a tropical rainstorm, when hundreds of ladies and children and gentlemen alsoare picked up by cargadores and carried across the flooded thoroughfare. Several of the incoming trains were late this morning on account of the storm. BURNED OUT THE SWITCHBOARD. The lightning played with the wires of the Signal Office at police headquarters last night and this morning as it never did before. Op-. erator McCormick and Detective Dotzman, who were inthe room, say that the whole place seemed to be on fire at times. The lightning ranupand downthe gas pipe and other iron pipes and rods in the room, and evury fuse in the switchboard was burned out, breaking the connection with every po- lice station._Aand allthe city institutions and other public buildings. Mr. McCormick had a supply of extra fuses on hand, andat once went to work torepairthe damage, defying the lightning, as it were. He was soon in communication again with all the police stations, but lett the other wires open until after the storm. THE STORM IN CARONDELET. The rainand wind which swept over this section of the city was the most severe ever known. While the damage done was wide- spread it was not'of a serious character. The storm broke forth about 6:30 o’clock and lasted for one hour. Traffic on the Iron Mountain railway and Southern’ elec- tric railway was or aban- doned for that period e) time. The landslide at Lueker’s Station, the wash- ing away of twenty feet of track and the wreck at Sabula all had something to do —> stopping traffic on the Iron Mountain road. At the foot of Elwood street the water was fully three feet deep, making it impossible for the electric cars to pass. A number ofr motors were also burnt out, At Grundy street and Broadway the car tracks were covered with two feet of clay and mud. Cellars were flooded with water, cisterns caved in, and the damage done to the _ telephone wires was enormous. STATIONS. Water. STATIONS. Height of Pittsburg.... Parkersburg. Cincinnati ,.

The settlement of these questions is sufficient work for one campaign. —_— = , REPRESENTATIVE DALZELL of Pennsyl- yania, although he is a Republican, has contributed the most valuable document up to date tothe Democratio literature of the campaign. He has pledged the Republican party to the adoption of a force bill should it win control of all branches of the Government next fall. If Mr. DALZELL should take the stump the Democrats could economize on campaign orators. ———— 2 or AN ABHORRENT SCHEME. We do not wonder that President Har- RISON has ‘‘expressed himself as abhor- ring’’ the plan of forming tariff debating clubs for the purpose of collecting money for the Republican campaign fund. There are excellent reasons for his abhorrence of the plan. | In the first place the plan is a paltry scheme which offers little prospect of bringing in adequate returns. Toa Presi- dent accustomed to the broad-guage methods and magnificent slush funds of such milliohaires as WANAMAKRR, CAR- NEGIB and Morton, the methods and re- sults of the petty tariff debating club are cheap and nasty. In the second place, the club method is not business-like. It does not compare in point of efficiengy with the ingenious schemes of QUAY, CLARKSON and DUDLEY, by which the office-holders are squeezed to the last farthing of their ability to pay. It does not insure that an employe pays the proper tithe of his salary. The percentage plan is therefore more just. The difference in the two plans may readily be perceived in the difference of results between the ef- forts of Special Agent BYRNES and of Club Organizer WIESEHAHN. One col- lected a hundred dollars where the other collected one dollar. In the third place, it is too public and is too likely to bring down upon a pious Ad- ministration the scorn and contumely of the ungodly. The appearance of righteous- ness must be preserved even at the cost of a few campaign contributions, and the secret special agent does his work well. In the fourth place, the President has reason to believe that the tariff debating }club dues go into the pockets of the ene- mies of his administration and the oppo- nents of his pious intention to give the country an_ extension of the exhibition of a truly good man in a great office. Thus the considerations of business and policy combine to render the scheme ab- horrent to the President and to urge him to make an example of Collector WEN- NECKER and his henchmen. Political Pharisaism is justified of her followers. - —_— ALL RECORDS BEATEN. The SUNDAY PostT-DIsSPATCH is the best Sunday paper published in St. Louis. Comparison proves it beyond question. Its advance to the place which justifies this proud boast has been rapid and unin- terrupted. Yesterday the SUNDAY Post-DIsRATCH beat all its records (1) in circulation, (2) in advertising, (3) in size of paper, (4) in amount of reading matter, (5).in receipts, (6) in having added more subscribers by carrier listthan on any other one day in its history. Here are the facts and figures for each Sunday paper published in St. Louis yes- terday. They are accessible to everybody. They are indisputable: Size.—The sizes of the St. Louis papers on yesterday were as follows: SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH..... .....40 pages Globe- Democrat Poor Old Republic. Columns of Reading Maiter.—The fol- lowing is an exact comparison of the ..06 pages reading matter in each: SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH 166 columns Globe-Democrat ST is vcanosvahebedcusmeese 136 columns 88 columns Total Advertising.—The paid advertising in the three papers yesterday was as fol- lows: SUNDAY Post-DIsPATCH. 114 columns Globe- Democrat Poor Old Republic...... senesse .» 88 columns That is, briefly, the SUNDAY Post-DIs- 164 columns PATCH printed 4 pages more than the Globe-Democrat and 8 pages more than the Poor Old Republic. The SUNDAY DISPATCH printed 26 columns more adver- PostT- tising and 30 columns more reading mat- terthan the Poor Old Republic and 78 columns more reading miatter than the Globe- Democrat. Want advertisements—Yesterday the to- tal number of ‘‘ want ads’’ in each of the three Sunday papers was as follows: SUNDAY Post-DISPATOH........ ......1,347 Globe-Democrat...... seedeeveveesecces+ 1,002 Poor Old Republic Circulation.—All the foregoing compari- sons are absolutely accurate and exact.The ‘statement under this heading (circulation) as far as it pertains to the SUNDAY Post- DIsPATCH is theexact truth. Our books are open to inspection. Those of our com- petitors are not. The SunDAY Post-Dis- PATOH yesterday in the city of St. Lowis and suburbs alone sold 34,102 papers of its edi- tion. Estimated on good authority, we are | | confident that the sales of the Globe-Dem | \ 7 : , Ni | ocrat did not exceed 35,000 in the same ter- ritory. On reliable information, tested and cor- roborated, we know that the poor old Republic sold less than 14,500 papers in the same territory yesterday. Paid Oontributore.—The StnDay Post- DisPatTcH yesterday cost more money than the issues of the Globe-Democrat and Re- public combined,. It contained origina! new contributions by the following writers: MARK TWAIN, HENRY JAMES, LoRD WOISELEY, CAM. FLAMMARION, MvURAT HALIsTHAD, Prof. R. L. GARNER, LAFCADIO HEARNE, BILL NYB, R. BLAYTHWAYT, GEORGE ILEs, Mrs. Lynx Linton, Prof.G.R.O’ REILLY, W.J.GUNDELACH, Mrs. G. VAN REN- M. D., SELAER, Lvoy H. Hoopmr, FP. L. WAKEMAN. Artistic Iliustration.—The SUNDAY Post- Di1sPATOCH is always incomparably superior in illustration to either of its competitors, This was the showing on yesterday: SuNDAY Post-DISPATCH,’ 1,073 square inches, Globe-Democrat, 860 square incheg. Poor old Republic, 401 square inches. The SUNDAY Post-DISPATCH yesterday was in every way a superior paper. Com- manding by direct special wires the gigan- tic facilities of the New York WoRrLD in gathering news, the SUNDAY Post-Dis- PATCH in every issue publishes exclusive news and is never beaten. Purchasing, in conjunction with the New York WORLD, the best and highest-priced literary mis- cellany in the market, neither the Globe- Democrat nor the Republie can compete We frankly admit that without the most pow- with the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH. erful newspaper ally in the world we could not undertake to give the public sucha paper as the SUNDAY PostT-DISPATCH. newspaper in the West could do it. But the Post-DiIsPpaAtcH has undertaken the contract to publish the best Sunday paper in St. Louis, and will fill it to the letter. We guarantee that the SUNDAY PosT-DISPATCH will always be found the best newspaper, the best Sunday paper in St. Louis and challenge comparison with our competitors. SMALL ‘‘want ads’’ measure the con- fidence of the publicin the circulation of a paper. The following was the showing of yesterday’s papers under the headings indicated: POSsT-D1s- Globe- Re- PATCH.

It is ‘‘notin it,’ _—_ - — Dr. PARKHURST may not have raised his standing as a minister by acting as a de- tective in the New York dives, but the re- port of the Grand-jury based upon the evi- dence he presented as a citizen has raised the standard of law enforcement in the me- tropolis. The dives are being closed up and the laws to all appearances strictly en- forced. This is a good result, but unless the citizens join in reforming corrupt bosses out of office the effect will be only tempo- rary. The sound reform of municipalevils lies in the education of citizens to a high standard of personal morality, respect for the law and attention to civic duties by press, preachers and teachers and the de- feat of corrupt political bosses.at the polls. Dr. PARKHURST’S detective work merely prods the skin of the dragon of municipal lawlessness. i ~ I won ee w WwW - ge 4 and other south- western counties had een offset by a substantial inerease in Gentry and other counties. In the Alliance there are a number of Democratic leaders who hever fail to attend the State conven- tions. Just what they will doin the coming campaign is now a subject of much specula- tion. The Democratic managers insist that no matter what course Leonard pursues he cannot induce the Democrats to abandon their party to go over to the political aggre- #ation led by Polk, Taubeneck and Donnelly. Senatorial and Representative Districts. When the local redistricting billis passed the Circuit Court will meet in General ferm andappoint acommission to rearrange the Senatorial and Representative District boun- darics. Under the new order the city gains one representative in the lower branch of § the Legislature, but the Senatorial Representation remains the same. The city now has’ six Senators and fourteen representatives and the’ Commission will have toso arrange the districts as to prop- erly equalize the population. If a@ partizan commission is selected aneat gerrymander can be made. The Circuit Court is composed ofthree Republican judges and two Demo- crats and the presumption is that if three commissioners are appointed two will be Republicans. The present legislative representation cousists of three Democrats, two Republicans and one Union Labor in the Senate and eleven Democrats and threee Re- publicans inthe House. ‘The territory repre- sented by Senator McGinnis and the turee Republican Senators lies in the southern part ofthe city, which is strongly Republican. The popeiatian in that section has increased argely since the last apportionment and the RepuDlicans will demand a more liberal rep- resentation. Under the State law the Circuit Court must manage the redistricting, Political Notes.

Fuerstenwerth last Thursday night they found that the missing tableware was stolen by Katie Reutterman, the servant girl. She admitted that she took the things they state, and that she wrote the note addressed to Mrs. Fuerstenwerth and signed G. G. G. G. The note, which has been preserved by the police, reads as follows: Mr. Farstenwerth, I will leave this to you, so you no that we was there Sunday night and we will come again. We know where you are or else Where you g0, so we wil get you if not in the house we will get you on your way you will have to suffer. Dediit our old friend had to suffer sv now you can put ail he police on the track if you want you will never get he right ones but we will so mind whati say. our oid friend in young days, many oore. wone by. The servant girl said that she wrote the letter, so the police say, in order to havean excuse toreturn home to her parents, who live five miles east of Bellevilice on the Cairo Short Line road. she was homesick, it Is stated, but as she was treated well where she was working she couldn’t think of any excuse for leaving, andso put up this job, knowing that her parents would want her to returo home then and that the Fuerstenwerth family wouid grant her a leave of absence, AMONG THE BROKERS.

The clerks and salesmen ih a well known retail grocery store down town are enjoying @ good joke at the expense of one of their num- ber; named Ben, Who 1s also known at the store as ‘‘Mutton-head.’’ For two weeks past a West End resident had been prolong ing his flickering fe with the aid of a rare old wine, which could be bought only at this particular store. Yesterday afternoon the sick man’s nurse telepiioned for another bottle of the life-giving fluid, and asked that it be delivered at once. Ben was entrusted with the delivery, and some time after he left on his life-saving errand, the telephone again rungup. This time the head clerk recognized the voice of Ben. He asked what was wanted. ‘*The man w’at ordered the wine says he on’t wan’t it now. He’s dead,’’ replied en, as he put up the phone and walked away before the peal of laughter which fol- lowed, reached his ears. A NEW INSTITUTION.

FATHER PHELAN’S TEN STRIKE. Father Phelan has a littie church in Baden called Mt. Carmel. Uis church has always been a good church but the attendance was not what might be called overwhelming. Upon the adventof lent the lenten instruc- tions were sent around. By a papal decree the question whether meat should be per- mitted or not was left to the discretion of the archbishops. Here Archbishop Kenrick thought the parish priests were competent to deal with the question and left itto them, Father Phelan thought that his parish should be allowed meat, and upon so informing the archbishop, the rmission to eat meat in lent was granted the parish. For the last two weeks Father Phelan has noticed a most decided increase in his congregation and many of the new faces came from the big u town churches. He instituted an inquiry an then learned from one young man that he had come to Baden to get a square meal. ARCHBISHOP KENRICK’S SHARP WIT. Rev. Father Kielty of the Holy Angels’ avenues one afternoon this week when he met Archbishop Kenrick taking his custo- mary walk. ‘‘Good afternoon, your grace,’’ said the priest. ’ Looking up the Archbishop replied: ‘*Good afternoon, my son.’’ **1’m very glad to see you able to be out,’ continued the priest. ‘*Oh, thank you. I’m very well.’’ Pointing to the Jesuits’ University, where he had aut paid a visit, Father Kielty said leasanitly: ‘‘i*ve just been over there. [ eep an eye on those gentlemen, and they keep two on me.’’ **Mutual charity,’’ remarked the Arch- bishop dryly as he resumed his walk, parting with a kindly ‘‘Good day, God bless you.’’ PLANS FOR STREET SPRINKLING How the Dust Will Be Downed in St. Louis This Year. St. Louis will tnis year be most successful inthe plan of sprinkling the streets by a direct special tax uponthe property bene- fited by the work.

This is the only city in the United States where all the trouble and annoyance of having the streets sprinkled Is taken off the hands of the property owners and done for them atacost many times less than the paid when the city ned. nothing to do wit the laying of the dust.

Offerings of butter A New Devite for Giving Aid and Com- fort to Unattended Travelers. From thé New York Sun. The lone female is as a frule treated very ungraciously in Gotham. She is looked upon with suspicion, and, if admitted at all to the better hotels, is relegated usually to sky parlors or back bedrooms, unless she comes armed with enough credentials to warrant dmission to Buckingham Paiace ofr the nited States Treasury vaults. Under the old regime perhaps those restrictions were a necessity ,because women were then carefully uarded, usually too timid ore on Visits o the metropolis unattend he lone traveler was frequently an un esitable guest. But within the past decade the American woman has written a new deciaration of i dependence, set thereto her han an seal, and refuses to submit to the tyranny of con- ventionality any longer. Nevertheless, however brave a woman Is tn theory, however contemptuous of masculine superiority, there is something wuhcanny about arriving in the city alone at night by train or facing the eet ean house ceremony when returning from abroa Of course she isnot afraid, Perish the Then ht!

Friends of the Display Must Come to the Front. New Yort«, April 4.—There will be no naval review in New York harbor next year unless the friends of the movement take the initia- tive and push it vigorously. Secretary Tracy has not asked for the appropriation. The House Committee on Naval Affairs has not even considered the matter; the House itself ig in an economical mood and ill-disposed to appropriate the money and the outlook is very discouraging unless the Senate shall insist upon the appropriation and bring the House to terms. Secretary Tracy is outof the city,but Assistant Secretary Stoley says It would not have been proper for the Secretary to include the appropriation for the review in his estimate to Congress, inasmuch as ex- traordinary expenditures of this character are never so included. The Secretary’s fall- ing, however, to bring the matter directly to the attention of Congress is likely to retard =' it does not in fact operate to defeat the ©) an. y= When you want to buy a hetter boy’s suit than you have been in the habit of buying You must look for it in our Boys’ Cloth- ing Department.

Father Bardens’ Boomerang. Father William Bardens, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church, whose mysterious request for every member of the church to attend divine services yesterday morning led many to believe that he meditated taking some im- portant step, disappointed the very large congregation. The communication which he made was a statement of the financial status of the church. Business of this kind is always distasteful to church members, and they usually vue at home whenever reports are expected.

THE STORY A“FAKE,” President Von Der Ahecn the Alleged Base Ball Combine. SUT THE ST. LOUIS MAGNATE HAS OTHER TROUBLES ON HIS MIND. His Park Fence Was Blown Down by the Storm, and He Will Have to Buy New Timber—Weights Assigned Horses in the Washington Park Handicaps—Gen- eral Sporting News. A story has been telegraphed over the coun- try from Boston that in the twelve-club base ball league there exists a combine which has control of the whole or- ganization, The story states that seven clubs—St. Louis, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Louis- Ville, Brooklyn, Washington and Baltimore— have agreed to settle all matters of import- ance by caucus or previous understanding, and then, when voting in the League, to vote together. This naturally would give them the controlof affairs by giving them seven out of the twelve votes in the body. The report goes further, and says that within this combine of seven there is an inner, ase- cret combine of four, composed of Von der Ahe of 8t. Louis, Byrne of Brooklyn, Brush of Cincinnati and Phelps of Louisville, and that these four, having a majority ofthe seven, control the cther three, andin consequence the entire league. Three out of the four votes contro] the innercombine. The whole affair was arranged, it is alleged, before the con- solidation of the League and the Association was finally effected or ratified. The old League magnates, so the story says, are com- pletely atthe mercy ofthe combine of four. In support ofthe claims made concerning the combine. some recent legislation of the league is quoted, among other acts the change from Dayto Byrne on the Schedule Committee and the conduct of Nick Young toward the seven. President Von der Ahe, charged with being one of the chief conspirators, was hunted up to-day and cross- questioned on the subject. The boss president wasin trouble. He had told troubles to the police, too, anda report of them are on file at the station. Last night the wind had blown the right field fence and bieaching boards down aten-foot embank- ment intoa bed ofmud. It was a sorry look- ing wreck and the President looked as sorry asthe wreck. As the reporter waded toward Chris through the mud, the carpenter at work on the fence was just telling the organ- izer Of deep-laid base ball conspiracies that he would have to buy new lumber as theold stuff was s0 badly rotted with age and had been so patched that it was utterly useless. Wit’s alla newspaper fake,’’ said the Boss President, referring tothe base ball combine story. ‘‘There is absolufely no foundation forit. We all have carried out all agree- ments made and everybody is satisfied with mattersastheyare. There are some people who are never satisfied unless they are start- ing fightsand making trouble. There may be alittle jJeaionsy inthe East because they can’trun everything, but that would not amounttoanythingif it was not always stirred up by these stories.’’ **What do they mean by referring to things that have happened sincs the Indianapolis meeting?’’ **I guess they mean the organization of the committees and other work that was done with a perfect understanding on all sides.’’ The President was more interested in his wrecked fence and bleaching boards than he was in the story and did not seem to consider the latter worth more than a simple denial. MILWAUKEE DEFEATED. The Browns walked away from Charlie Cushman’s Milwaukee team in the easiest kind of a manner yesterday. The game lasted but six innings, when rain stepped in and putanendtoit. Thescore was8sto 1 in favor ofthe Browns. Eastonand Moran did battery service for five innings, when Caruth- ers and Bird came in and relieved them. Jones, Burrell, Lake and Krieg were in the points for the yisitors. Walter Brodie ap- eee for the frst timeina St. Louis uni- Cliff Carroll’s work with the stick and Jack Crook’s playing on second base were feat- ures of the game, STRICKER STILL HOLDING OUT. The St. Louis Browns have now all reported with the exception of Stricker. There are several leading clubs who need a second baseman, and they have indirectly expressed their desire to have Stricker. President Von der Ahe has received no word from any club regarding him, and Stricker will be held on St. Louis* list. Mr. Von der Ahe is willing to pay him $2,000, and Stricker will not accept. Ihat’s just the way the matter stands at present, THE STAFF OF UMPIRES. President Nick Young has appointed his staff of umpires. The men are Gaffney, Lynch, Mahoney, Hirst, Sheridan, Emsiie and McCrum. Young says they are excep- tionally able and experienced umpires. Upon them will largely rest the success of the game. AD umpire who Its not impar- tial, whose eyesight is defective and who can hear foul tips, but won’t, is a thing to be despised. But an umpire who 1s consclen- tious, whocan instill ife in a game when it happens to drag, and whocan keep matters moving ata lively gait, is a man to be com- mended and encouraged. An umpire’s lot at best is not a happy one, and if any man earns his stipend it is the umpire. PFEFFER GOES TO LOUISVILLE. LOUISVILLE, Ky., April 4.—After two months of negotiation a deal is aboutto be consumated that will make Fred Pfeffer Cap- tain of the Louisville Club. For the past week President Hart and Stuckey have been in correspondence and a deal has finally been agreed upon whereby Pfeffer comes to Louisville and Canavan, Loulsville’s second baseman, goes to Chi- cago. All that now remains to close it {s Canavan’s signature toa contract and that will probably be secured this after- noon. Pfeffer incase the trade is made will take charge of the team to-morrow. It is rumored that there was also a money con- sideration, but President Stuckey denles this and saysthat Mr. Hart would Yisten to no such proposition. BASE BALL BRIEFS.
