A PHOTOGRAPH FROM MELBOURNE IDENTIFIED BY THE WOMAN, Deeming’s Record Shows That He May Be Jack the Ripper—Dates of His Movements Support This Theory— Known to Have Been in London “When Some of the Crimes Were Com- mitted—The Trial in Australia. Lonpon, April 7.—The fact comes to light to-day that a dressmaker living in the east end of London has recognizeda portrait of Deeming as that of aman who courted her under the name of Lawson Inthe summer of 1888. She states that they were walking to- gether on the night of Sept. 29, and parted from each other at 1lo’clock. The following morning the shockingly mutilated bodies of the women Stride ar d Eddowes were found in the Whitechapel district. Considerable spec- ulation has been indulged in as tothe pos- sibility of Deeming being the notorious White Chapel ‘‘Jack the Ripper.’’ The last letter sent by Deeming’s Melbourne victim to her mother showed that Deeming was skilled in the use of medicine, and itis believed by many that if occasion arose he would have shown that he was equally skillful inthe use _ of surgicalinstruments. One of the physi- Cians who conducted the post-mortem exam- ination on the bodies of the Rain Hill vic- tims, said that these murders showed that the person who committed them hada good knowledge of anatomy and thatthe blow that caused death was just sufficient and no more to sever the carotid artery. Denial have been made that Deeming was in England at the time these murders were committed. But as a matter of fact, his whereabouts at exact periods has beena hard questionto decide. The Whitechapel mur- cers were committed April 3, Aug. 7, Aug. 31, £ept. 6, two cn Sept. 30 and Nov. 9, 1888; July 10 and sept. 10, 1889, and Feb..13, 1890. Dur- ing the year 1858 Deeming’s whereabouts until November were quite unknown. The dressmaker’s statement shows that for part of the time at Jeast he was in London,and this again arouses the suspicion that he was there at thetimes theother murders of that year were committed, There was notbingto prevent him from being there from April to Novem- ber, 1888, during which time seven murders were committed. Itis known positively that he arrived in Beverley on Feb. 18, 1899, five days after the last Whitechaper murder. ‘ihe dressmaker says that she met Deem- ing (or Lawson, as he was known to her), on the afternoon of Sept. 30. They had a long conversation on ghe subjectof the White- chapel murders, and Deeming showed that he was conversant with every one of the hor- rible details. Aremark was made concern- ing a suggestion in a newspaper that the murders of the Whitechapel were committed shortly after midnight. Deeming. seemed to forget to whom he was talking and sald to the girl: ‘‘Look at the time. I could not have committed the murders.’’ The girl was very mucb struck by this un- calied for remark, and she has often since thought of it. Throughout the afternoon beeming was very much agitated and eagerly reaa@ the newspaper comments on the crimes. A few days later he vanished and the girl never saw him again. ‘though the remark inadvertently dropped by Deeming and his. subsequent actions aroused a sus- icion in the girl’s mind that Deeming per- laps was the murderer, she did not until now communicate her suspicions to the police. The London Globe prints the statement made by the dressmaker as entirely reliable, and concludes its comment on it witb the statement that the police have been unable to trace Deeminga’s exact whereabouts al the time these murders weré committedin White- chapel. Itis thought that with the clew furnished them by the girlsome startling developments may be looked for, and that the Whitechapel mysteries may at last be soived. The two murders which the dressmaker’s story directly connects Deeming were the butchery of Mrs. Chapman, a. dessolute character in the Whitechapel district, and another woman whose name was unknown, The crimes were committed in a dark corner of Mitre Square and on Bernes street on the same day. Mrs. Chapman was found with her throat cut and the blood still pouring from the wound. The.flend had evidently been surprised at bis crime and hurried over his work. ‘The other woman was found an hour later with the same horrible cut inthe throat and the abdomen mutilated, a portion of the intestines having been crowded into the wound In the throat. The dressmaker says that the time Deeming left her company on the evening of Sept. 30, was aboutan hour beforethe time at which medical testimony at the ‘inquest indicated that the Chapman woman was probably mur- dered, The chronology of Deeming’s record, so far as ascertained, agrees with the dressmaker’s story. It is as follows: Frederick Bailey Peeming marries Miss Mary James, leaves Engiand for Cape Town, 1880. Deeming joined by his wife (now identified as Mary James) in Sydney, 1882. Deeming received six weeks’ imprisonment for theft, 1882. Absconds from Sydney onchargeof fraudu- lent insolvency, 1886. Returns to England (lithof August) and to Birkefihead, leaving that place and his wife after the birth of his fourth child, about four months afterwards—1ss9. Deeming returned from South Africa in the spring 0f 1890. Hehada formidable assort- ment of knives. Samuel Mercier of Rain Hill, who was well acquainted with Deeming, says: ‘*‘Deeming represented himself to me to be a military man, and said he had four- teen scars on him.’’ He went on to talk very glibly as to the engagements of hand to hand encounters which he had gone through as in- spectorinthearmy. He would not call him- self a soldier altogether, although he had said that he ‘‘had-been under fire.’’ Deem- ing showed me various weapons, including swords, knives, spears and an assegai, which he said he had gotfrom Zululand, He partic- ularly dweit on a very handsome sword which was adorned with silver anda band of gold, and which he said he had fought two hours with for. Dinham Villa, the buildingin which Deem-. ing, alias Williams, Se pegee the murder of his wife and 4 children,is to be demolishea. Mrs. Hayes,theowner, says: ‘‘I could not ex- pect people toagain occupy the building. I will, however, build another house near, or on the site. The lossto me personally wili be very great, but I have decided to bear the first cost rather than the last.’’ It is notgxpected, however,that the demoll- tion will fake place until after Deeming is disposed of. ——- DEEMING A DEMON. HE SHOWS NO SIGN OF REMORSE . ORIMES OR FEAR OF HIS FATE. MELBOURNE, April 7.—Notwithstanding the fact that the juryin the caseof Mrs. Deem- ‘ing, who was murdered at her home at Wind- sor, a suburb of this city, yesterday returned ‘averdict of wilful murder against her hus- band, Deeming to-day shows the same char- acteristics that have marked him since his arrest. The verdict does not seem to affect him in the least, and he is in turn gocular oor insolent. The more the FOR HIS sd man is studied the deeper becomes th belief of many persons that he ts utterly w! h out conscience and equally devoid of fea.’ Those who have studied him closely, how- ever, think that his conduct is mere bravado, and that when he finds the noose tightenin about his neck he will become an abjec coward, Allhis known murders have Deen of women and children,but it is said that he has killed men. Everyone believes that if he has he has done it theouas treachery, striking them from behind in the dark. Every day evidence comes to light to show the c rofthe man, andit is a matter of surprise, cunning though he was, that he should have pursued his carreer of crime 80 long undetected. Aman who worked with Deeming years ago stated that he was then knoWN among his fellow workers as a vin- dictive and treacherous character, and that he went by the nickname of ‘‘The Demon.,’’ At the inquest yesterday the name of the wife he murdered, together with those of her four hp g found under the floor of Din- ham Villa at Rain Hill, near Liverpool, was mentioned at the hearing for the first time, and she 8 identified by witnesses by means of a photograph. The case was submitted to the jury to-day and a verdict of willful murder rendered. Deeming received the verdict with a de- flantair. Ityetremainsfor him to be ex- amined before a magistrate and committed fortrial. Hewill then be indicted for the crime, after which trial, conviction and execution are expected to follow speedily. The police of Sydney have been endeavor- ing toascertain what became of a former wife of Deeming, whom he lived within that city. It was supposed that he murdered her as he had his other wives. The woman, however, provesto be alive. Deeming de- serted her, and she, it appears, was not sorry to let him go. He did not buy any cement when he lived with her, or show un- usual interest in repairing the fire-place. ON THIS SIDE THE OCEAN. WINNIPEG, Manitoba, April 7.—It appears that Deeming was at one time a resident of the Northwest Territories under the name of Williams. In 1884in the province of Assinni boia he cOMmmenced business as a watch- maker, but ultimately decamped with a —_ “cpap of valuable watches intrusted oO * ———— TRADE WITH CHINA. Views of New York Merchants on the Etf- fect of the Exclusion Act. New York, April 7.—New York merchants who trade with China are discussing the probable effects of the exclusion act and the disruption of commercial relations between the Chinese Empire and the United States. They hold diverse views on the question of whether their interests would be impaired in case the Geary hecame a law. Tea Importer John L. Anderson of No. 131 Pear! street said that thetea trade would not be affected by the exclusion of Chinese from this country, or of Americans from China. The business there, he said, was controlled principally by Englishmen, and restrictions put upon Chinese immigration would not make any difference in the tea traffic. ‘*The enactment of the anti-Chinese bill,’’ said Mr. J. H. Labaree, tea mercbant of No. 125 Front street, ‘‘might have a temporary effect uponthe tea trade with China, but I doubt very muchifa permanent one. The Chinese are very skillful in placing their wares and would soon finda way out of the difficulty. Besides, more tea is imported from Japan than China now.’’ At the office of the China & Japan Trad- ing Co. in Burling slipthe reporter was told that China was more independent of us than we of China and that there would be some Squealing by New England manufacturers if China should refuse to continue ousiness relations with them. American manufact- urers of cotton cloths sell to China from 80,- 000,000 to 100,000,000 yards of cloth every year and there is not another such market In the world, ‘*There is nothing that China gets from us,’’ said a member of the firm, ‘‘that she can’t buy elsewhere. Shecan get her kero- sene oilfrom Russia and her clothes from Manchester, England, and can, if necessary, be independent of the United States. I re- gard the passage of the Geary Dill by the House of Representatives withapprehension, and itsenactment might prove decidedly dis- advantageous to our country.’’ Shen Woon, the Chinese Consul, did not care to give an interview on the subject, on the ground that Minister Taul was the proper — to speak hfs mind on so importanta matter. OBITUARY. An Aged Indiana Pioneer Gone to His Reward. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 7.—Rev. Love H. Jameson, the most widely known Christian minister in Indiana and probably in the United States, died at his residence in this city last night. Rev. Jameson was born in Indiana in 1811 while it was yet a Territory. He was a member of theG. A. R. and the Tippecanoe Club. UNDER AN ALIAS. PORTLAND, Me., April 7.—A commercial traveler, who went by the name of Walsh, died in a hotel in Rockland last week, and all efforts to find any of his friends or relatives failed. It is now stated that he has been identified as a Gen. Stedman, a noted Union officer during the war. DR. WM. GARRARD. HoT SPRINGS, Ark., April7.—Dr. Wm. Gar- rard of Lawrenceville, lll., died here at an early hour this morning. Deceased was rominent in Illinois and Kentucky, and was eceiver of Public Moneys at Cheyenne, Wyo., under Cleveland’s administration. EUGENE CANFIELD. FAIRHAVEN, Wash., April 6.—Eugene Can- field, millionaire, of this place, died to-day of apoplexy. He was formerly State Senator from Wayne County, Illinois. COL. GILLIS. SARATOGA, N. Y., April 7.—Col. George H. Gillis, a veteran of the war and for twenty years confidential clerk at the United Statés Hotel, died here this morning, aged 50. He was well known to Southern visitors. EMIN PASHA. The Explorer in Conflict With the British at Wadelal. BERLIN, April 7.—The Vosiche Zettung states that advices from Zanzibar, under date of March 3, state that Dr. Stuklemann, Emin Pasha’s companion, is returning to the coast to get Government permission to claim Wadelai as a German possession, This report indicatesthat Eminis in con- flict with British authority over African ter- ritory. The announcement came from Lon- don a short time ago that Capt. Lugard, who ey pte Uganda under the British protection, ad also taken possession of Wadelai on be- half of the Britisn East Africa Co. Com- menting on this at the time, the London Times said that Emin was in his old territory simply asa private individual. ‘‘if Emin be- haves loyally there need be no trouble. If not, no doubt Capt. Lugard will prove him. selfequal to the situation. It is evident, therefore. that Capt. Lugard hopes to make use of Emin’s influence in the country to firmly establish British authority there. If Emin will work with him to this end they will etalong well together, and Emin will un- oubtedly receive a handsome salary from the British company. But the British will not tolerate any attempt on Emin’s part to assert any alleged rights as ruler of the coun- . try. The Emin expedition was sent out under the authority of the German Government on April 25, 1890, but after the ratification of the Anglo-German treaty in February, 1891, an official letter of recall was sent to the ex- lorer. But Emin ignored this and marched raight into British territory, ANARGHY'S TORCH. Austria’s Capital Aflame With Incendi- ary Fires. EUROPE’S SOCIAL REVOLUTION GROWING IN STRENGTH. * Russian Authorities Investigating the Gun Cotton Explosion—Discontent Among England’s Unem ployed—Queen Victoria in France—Canada Seeking Commercial Independenca, Vienna, April 6.—Much uneasiness prevails here in consequence of the number of incen- diary fires which are occurringin the city, and which are attributed to Anarchists. Yes- terday several ofthese fires were reported, and to-day there were two more fires of a suspicious origin. One of the fires to-day broke out in a beer-house onthe Bothelhurm strasse and was undoubtedly incendiary, as the owner of the building had previously re- ceived a letter threatening that his place would be destroyed. That the fires were de- liberately started is further proved by the facts that the attempts were made to mislead the fire brigade to-day by false alarms sent over telephones. When the firemen reached the burning buildings and were fighting the flames efforts were made b y some persons to interfere with them, and among other things showered upon their heads was a quantity of dirty water. During a performance of Sudermann’s ‘‘Die Ehre,’’ at the Vienna Theater last night, one of the actors delivered a Socialist tirade against rich people. A large number of Socialists were in the gallery and they wildly applauded the actor’s words. Many ofthe people in other parts of the house were disgusted and left the theater. The Socialists at Linz, capital of Upper Austria, and at Brunn, capital of Moravia, proposed recently to hold conventions in those cities. The Government has issued an order forbidding the conventions. SPANISH ANARCHISTS, Maprip, April 6.—Numerous Anarchists are leaving this country, owing to their fear of being placed under arrest. The French and Portuguese ambasadors here have congratulated the Government on its escape from the recent attempt of the An- archists to destroy the Chamber of the Sen- ate, royal palace and other public buildings with dynamite. The Frenchman, Delboche, oneof the two men arrested while attempting to place a dynamite bomb in the Cortes building,boasts of his connection with the Bilbaoa, Tribua and Valladolid Anarchists, who, he says, have promised to send dynamite cartridges to the capital. Ferrerria, the Portuguese who was arrested with Delboche, is much depressed. He eats little and appears to fear the revenge of his brother Anarchists. The authorities have been able to pr re but little evidence against the others cocdend on suspicion of being implicated inthe dyna- mite plot, and consequently seven of them were released from custody no-night. Ten others, including the journalist, Arvalri, and the President and Executive Committee of the Anarchist Club are still held and will be tried on a charge of conspiracy. A WARNING LETTER. Paris, April 7.—The wife of a policeman stationed at Angers received a menacing let- ter prior to the explosion outrage there yes- terday. A RoubDiax telegram says that while a workman named Gaboulet was examininga tin box he found near a large distillery there, the contents of the box exploded and he was serlously wounded. An infernal machine has peen found in the house of a factory owner at Fourmies. Public alarm over the Anarchist outrages Is reviving. The box sent tothe Prefect of Po- lice Loze recently, proved tobe an infernal machine. The Anarchists Chaumartin, Favre and Le Bascard, have been liberated. The leaders in the preparations for the May Day celebration have concluded, in view of the recent Anarchist outrages, and theur- gent representations of the authorities, not to have a street parade on that occasion. LONDON’S UNEMPLOYED. Lonpon, April 6.—Another large meeting of the unemployed workingmen was held at Tower Hill to-day. Many violent speeches were made, but order was guaranteed by a strong force of police. The meeting was un- der the auspices of the committee of unem- ployed workingmen. Resolutions were adopted demanding that London County Council deal immediately with the question of London’s idle workers. A deputation was appointed to wait upon the Right Hon. Ritchie, President ofthe Local Government Board. J. Lloyd Drummer, one of the speak- ers, said the men must insist upon perma- nent work being giventhem. He denounced Messrs. Tillett and Burns, the leaders of or- ganized labor, for not assistingin any way the great mass of unemployed. The Evening News and other newspapers urge upon the police not to interfere too sternly with the unemployed in holding their meetings or with so-called Socialists, who, in a quiet manner, seek to let off the steam of their discontent in Hyde Park and public places. The Evéning News says that hours of harangue would be better than an ounce of dynamite. The police are advised, while re- quiring that ailshall obey the law, not to provoke and irritate people to crime by un- called for interference with the exercise of ordinary rights or by too close and harass- ing enforcement of regulations that are not es sential to public order. Another large meeting of unemployed workmen was held at Tower Hill to-day. The crowd was made up not only of genuine idle workmen, but also of a large number of loafers of every description. There was a strong police force pyesent. The meeting was very disorderly. The uproar was due to interruptions made by Backert, the leader of the opposition, who declared that the organizers of the meetings were Socialists and not genuine workingmen. All attempts to silence Backert were unavalling and finally a general scrimmage occurred. The police took a hand inthe row and com- parative order was finally restored by their driving Backer away. VICTORIA IN FRANCE, THE QUEEN RECEIVES A DEPUTATION OF SAILORS —PARIS NOTES. Paris, April 7.—Queen Victoria has received at Costebelle a number of French sailors who served in the Crimean war. In a short ad- dress she made to them Her Majesty said: ‘*] am happy to meet the companions of my brave soldiers. Your presence recalls to us ineffaceable memories.’’ The veterans pre. sented a bouquet to the Queen, who conversed with them in French, and left delighted with the reception accorded them. Ata banquet given by the Commercial Na- tional Union this evening, M. Roche, Minister of Commerce, urged the importance of par- ticipating in the World’s Fair at Chicago in order to assure the universal supremacy of French arts and industries.

The Dahomeyans have started northward, taking with them a large number of native prisoners. The Budget Committee has approved the proposed credits for Ohitago Fair purposes. SALISBURY’S NARROW ESCAPE—OFFICIALS AR- RESTED—LONDON TOPICS. Lonpon, April 7.—Lord isbury, Prime Minister, had a narrow escape from a pain- ful, if not serious accident. He was crossing the road by the House of Parliament when a hansom cab dashed’ up, and would have knocked him down Bad not the occupant, who saw the danger, jumped from his seat, seized the reins and pulled the horse back on his haunches. The bhorse’s d grazed Lord Salisbury’s shoulder, but he was uninjured. Lord Salisbury bas Started for Nice. Mr. Horatio Bottomly, Sir Henry Isaacs, Jos Isaacs and Charles Dolmgf,charged with having conspired together to cheat and de- fraud the Hansard Publishing Union (lim- ited), which failed some time ago of upward of £30,000, have been committed for trial. Sir Henry Isaacs was formerly Lord Mayor of London. The defendants were. released upon furnishing security in the sum of £1,000. A meeting of bankers and merchants have decided to form in the elty of London a com- mittee of the Bi-Metalife League consisting of Messrs.

CLAIMING THE RIGHT TO MAKE COMMERCIAL TREATIES—NOTES. OTTAWA, Ont., April 7.—On the next occasion of the House going into supply, Hon. David Mi will move an amendment tothe effect Canada should have the right to make herown commercial treaties, and that it should be the policy of the government to establish agents at the more important commercial centres of the world. A cablegram from London says: The British medical and horticultural papers are renewing their attacks upom American and Canadian apples because ofan alleged use of arsenac in trans- Atlantic orchards. The Canadian Gazette suggests that Canada invite an eminent British expert to visit America and set the question at rest and thus prevent trade being hampered.

PROBING THE SECRET. RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES INVESTIGATING THE RE- CENT EXPLOSION. ST. PETERSBURG, April 7.—The authorities have soughtin every way to glean some in- formation that would throw some light upon the causes that led to the explosion of the five tons of gun cotton at the State powder factory Monday night, but as stated in these dis- patches the real cause will never be known. The only persons who could have told any- thingabout the affair are dead, their bodles having been blown to pieces. From the testi- mony of workmen employed in the other buildings it has "been learned that all they know about the explosion is that there was a terrific roarand then they saw fiytngin the air a cloud of smoke that seemed to bear up- ward pieces of the shattered building. Ina second, almost, the building had disappeared and in its stead wasa vast hole in the ground, The building in which they were employed swayed to and fro and threated to fall. Every one expected that the immense quantities of gun cotton stored therein would explode. The shock of the concussion was terrible, and some of the workmen were hurled violently to the floor. Every man rushed from the buildings, and in this way twenty-seven of them were seriously injured, being struck by the debris which began to rain down just as they reached the openatir. It is a matterof great surprise that the gun cotton in the other workshops did not explode. Ifit had noone can imagine the damage that would have been done. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. RESTRICTIONS ON FOREIGN SETTLERS IN RUSSIA —BRIEF NOTES. ST. PETERSBURG, April 6.—The Minister of the Interior has prepared restrictions to be placed upon foreigners who settled in Rus- sia. Allsuch whoacquire lands must adopt the Russian nationality within three years or quit the country. The stipulations under which citizenship is grantedare made more stringent. Foreigners must become conver- sant with the Russian language and the fundamental laws ofthe Empire. The Min- ister of the Interior bas power to refuse ap- plications for naturalization without stating reasons. Foreigners must qualify for natural- ization by five years’ residence. OUTRAGES ON JEWS. BERLIN, April 7.—The Kreuz Zeitung and the Tageblatt publish conflicting reports about an anti-Jew ish outrage at Port Sand. The for- mer paper accused the Jews there of kidnap- pinga Greek child for sacrificial purposes and says the Greeks attacked and Killed two Jews. The Jagedlatt story, which is the more probable, is that some loafing Greeks, seeing Greek and Jewish children playing together, took advantage of this fact to attack a Jewish house, in which they Killed an aged Jew, smashing his skull and breaking his ribs and legs,*and then heaped insult on the corpse. S‘IAIN BY SAVAGES. ST. Louis, Senegal, April 7.—Further ad- vices received here from the interior show that the members of Capt. Menard’s expe- dition were not massacred by the forces of Chief Samory. It appears that the expedi- tion made an attack upon Samory’s village of Segalia, and thatinthe fight that followed, Capt. Menardand five of his soldiers were killed, BRIEF CABLEGRAMS. Severe earth tremors and rumblings oc- curred to-day at Mecina, Province of Gra- nada, Spain.

Republicans Carry Rhode Island’by a Small Majority. ; THE VICTORY WON ON THE LARGEST VOTE EVER POLLED. Mr. Blaine Believed to Be the Only , Republican Who Can Carry New York —Senator Sherman Thinks Cleveland and Harrison Will Again Oppose Each Other—Political News. PROVIDENCE, R. I., April 7.—Complete re- turns from all parts of the State show a total vote on State ticket of 54,746, an increase of about 10,000 over the largest ever polled be fore. The two parties raked every ‘city and town almost bare of voters, and gotan unex- pectedly and'unprecedentedly full vote in actual numbers and in proportion to the possible vote/ The finished returns show a great Republican victory on the State ticket, Brown, Republican, for Governor, polled 27,466; Wardwell, Democrat, 25,416; Gilber, Prohibitionist, 1,590; Burton, People’s, 196, and there were 75 scattering votes. These figures showa plurality of 2,047 for Brown, and a majority of 186. Bull and Utter, Republican candidates for Lieutenant-Governor and Secretary of State, are also elected by small majorities; but there is no election for Attorney-General and General Treasurer. Thecity of Providence, Newport and Woonsocket went Democratic on the State ticket. The legislative returns show a good Repub- lican majority in both branches already, with between fifteen and twenty vacancies yet to be filled. In the Senate the Republicans have thus far elected 23, the Democrats’9, with four more to be elected, and in the House the Republicans have 36, the Democrats 19 with 17 to be electea. This gives them 59 on joint ballot, a majority of 4, besides the vacancies yet to be filled by second elections. Most of these failures to elect are in Providence and Newport. In the former city only three of thirteen members of the Legislature were chosen, and in Newport only one ofsix, The other failures were scattered among the small towns, The control of. the Legis- lature by the Republicans gives them the choice of their candidates for Attorney-General and General Treasurer, and secures beyond a doubt the re-election of Nelson W. Aldrich to the United States Senate, The Republicans have secured everything, the Legislature, alltheir State officers and a United States Senator. BLAINE MEN ACTIVE, EFFECTIVE WORK DONE TO PLACE HIM IN NOM- INATION, WASHINGTON, D. C., April %7.—There is undoubtedly a vigorous revival ofthe Blaine talk, and there are those whoinsist that if the Secretary had felt as well physically when he wrote his recent letter declining to allow his name to be used at the Minneapolis convention as he ad now it would not have been written. The apparent lack of caniil- | dates against Harrison does not In the least diminish the talk of opposition to his renomination on the part of the Senators who are opposed to him, noron the part of that other large class of political leaders who praise the President and his Administration, but who boldly proclaim their fears that he cannot again be elected. It is said that both the Platt and Millermenin New York insist that Mr. Harrison is much weaker now in that State than he was in 1888, and they add that it was only by i§ the hardest work and the most lavish expenditure of money that it was possible to get hima majority at that time, and they insist that neither the work northe money can be secured for ltima second time. The opponents of Harrison are hopingthat the Blaine talk will goon without any protest from Mr. Blaine and that his improved health justifies them in insisting that he shail put nothing in the way of his nomination at Minneapolis, where the argument will be made that Blaine, and Blaine only, can save the party from defeat at the polls. It can be safely asserted that systematic work is now being done inthe direction indicated above with*a view of doing the real and telling work at Minneapolis. CLEVELAND AND HARRISON, SENATOR SHERMAN THINKS THEY WILL BE THE CANDIDATES. NEw YorK, April 7.—Senator John Sher- man was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester- day afternoon. ‘‘It looks now,’’ said Mr. Sherman, ‘‘as if the candidates of 1888 would be the candidates of 1892—Harrison and Cleveland again.’’ ‘*‘What impression has Senator Hill made in the Senate?’’ Mr. Sherman was asked. **He has made none, for he has said noth- ing yet,’’ replied Mr. Sherman. ‘‘It is not unusual, however, for a new Senator to take little or no part in debate.’’ ‘*Will the silver question come before the Senate again?’’ ‘*Yes, it may come at any time. Senator Morgan’s resolution is now on the calendar. It must takeits turn unless it be cailed up outoforder. To dothis would require a vote which would be Sey a test on the main question, and vote on a motion ofthis nature would be satisfactory to us. The friends of free coinage, however, will not be satisfied with a vote of that kind, but insist on a vote on the direct question, ’’ ‘ Would a free silver measure pass the Sen- ate?’ ‘*The Senators do not tell each other. how they are going to vote. Many would like to know, for instance, which way Senator Hill will vote,’’ replied Mr, Sherman, INDIANA DEMOCRATS, LEADERS DEVISING SCHEMES TO PREVENT A SPLIT. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 7.—There are ap- prehensions of a split in the coming«Demo- cratic state Convention, and in consequence the supporters of Cleveland were yesterday advising that it would be policy for the con- vention to indorse Gray for first place ina perfunctory way, as it will have to be done if itisdoneatall. It will not be surprising if an understaading of this kind is reached within the next few days. The object the Cleveland people set out to attain has been accomplished—namely: the killing of the Hill sentiment in this State. Noone now rises to dispute the statement that whatever disposition is made of Gray, the delegation that goes to Chicago will be for Cleveland as soon as it becomes evident that Mr. Gray can not be nominated for President. Noone has seriously supposed that Gray will stand any show of nomination for first place, but his claims will, it is eee ve him some pres- tige for second P ce. The opponents of Gov. Gray’s candidacy for President, in com- bination with the friends of Senator Turpi are endeavoring to wipe out all of Gray succeeding Turpie as Senator by having the clare for erpte for re-election. A resolution will be introduced instructing the Legislature to re-elect Turple, and those who are behind the movement say the resolution will pass. ARKANSAS REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Who Was Responsible for the Orgies Witnessed by the Clergyman. NEw YorRK, April?7.—The most interesting feature of the Rev. Dr. Parkhurst’s crusade against the houses of sin in the Tenderloin district of New York wasthe relation of his experiences and that of the friends who ac- companied him on his recent visit to some of resorts, a few weeksago. Their stories were told In Justice Lachman’s court yesterday. A suit was begun on March 29 by Peter A. H. JacKson & Sons, the agents of the house, to dispossess Mrs. Adams. It was at the trial of this suit that the story came out even more vividly than when Dr. Parkhurst told in his pulpit what he saw during his hour’s stay at the house. The purpose of Dr. Parkhurst’s visit was to earn for himself the character of these houses and to use the Knowlede thus obtained in testimony before the Grand-jury in an; effort to close the places. His method of gaining this in- formation has caused a great deal of com- ment among church people, though a major- ity of the doctor’s congregation uphold him in his course. Dr. Parkhurst’s companions in his midnight tour were Mr.Erving, a mem- ber of his church, and Mr. Gardner, a de- tective. The case was tried before a jury. The gentlemen who were called as wit- nesses recounted in minute detail the livid scenes witnessed while at Mrs. Adams’ house. Dr, Parkhurst stated that he was pastor ofthe Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, and that the reason he made the visit to these notorious places was to expose their true character in an effort to have them closed by the officers of the law. But when Mrs. Hattie Adams was placed on the stand to-day in her defense of the charge she declared under oath that the orgies which the reverend gentleman wit- nessed was prearranged at the request of Detective Gardner, of the Society for the Pre- vention of Crime. Her counsel will argue — this relieves her ofjthe blame for the af- alr. BIG SUGAR COMBINE, A Trust in Process of Formation at New York. New York, April 7.—Rumors were in circu- lation yesterday as toa possible organization of a big sugar refining company to compete with the Sugar Trust, which now practically controls the business in the United States. It was said that the backers of this scheme were the wholesale grocers of New York, Philadel- pnoia, Baltimore, Boston, St. Paul and other cities. It was further reported that Erastus Wimans was interestedin thescheme, Mr. Wimans, when asked about. the matter yes- terday, said that all he knew in regard to the project was that inquiries were made of him whether there wasa suitable piece of prop- erty at Staten Island, at which a large re- finery could be advantageously located. To this he replied that there was. He was also asked if he would actas custodian for sub- scriptions toa company, the owners of which would consist of not less than one hundred of the leading sugar distributors of the country, and if he would join in such a movement. He told his inquirers that he was ready to invest in any enterprise that promised to be for the benefit of Staten Island. Mr. Wimans de- clined tosay whothe projectors of the en- terprise were.

FIFTY ARMED MEN ENGAGE IN THE HUNT FOR THEM. An Atrocious Crimein the Mountains of Pennsylvania—Fata! Ending of a Quar- rel—An Omaha Woman Killed by Her Uncle—Poisoning Suspected—Criminal * News. | SOMERSET, Pa., April 7.—‘‘Gen. Sigel’’ Mil- ler, the reputed leader of the moonshiners, and one of the murderers of Joshua Hoch- stetter, surrendered to Chief of Police Gilbert at 8 o’clock this morning. The Chief was just going off duty when he saw three men coming down the street. Sjepping intoa doorway he awaited the approach of the strangers, who from their awkward gaitand rough appear- ance Gilbert knew were from the mountains, As the men reached the doorway Gilbert, with drawn revolver, stepped in.front of hem and commanded them to halt. The strangers threw - up their hands and came to a standstill. Gilbert failed to recognize the men until they intro- duced themselves. Miller said that he de- sired to surrender to the Sheriff before the Government detectives got hold of him. Miller said his companions were his brother, Levi Miller, and .brother- in-law, George Chapson. Gilbert marched the trio to the lockup and afterwards to the County Jail. They were given into the keep- ingof SheriffGood. Ata later hour Miller confessed that he had killed ‘‘Young’’ Hoch- i but says that he did itin self-de- ense. Fully fifty men, under the leadership of Sheriff Good and United States Secret Service Agents Fisherand Dupont, :are engaged in the chase. Dupont came upon an old shanty along the hunt which Miller and Pritts had left, evi- dently ina hurry. A powder pouch and some cartridges were found in the shanty, but the searchers were unable at the time to find any other trace of the fugitives. Guards have been placed at every pathway in the mountains, and a vigilant watch will be kept until Pritts will be forced from his conceal- ment by the pangs of hunger. Secret Service Agent Fisher and Bill Hoch. stetter, a nephew of the murdered man, were warned by letter that they were marked men, and advising them to leave the country. While nearly all the mountaineers in the vicinity of Somerset and Rockwood have joined in the man hunt, many still fear the moonshiners, or stand in with them, and the only way to gain any Im- ese = ta igs to go into hiding and watch the ouses. The murder of old man Hochstetter was committed on Aprill. When found the con- dition of the body showed t it had — over rocks and briars and t clothing was nearly all torn off. heac was crushed in and a piecé of rock spattered with blood and brains told conclusively oi the in which the unfortunate old witness against the moonshiners met death. -— TANEY COUNTY LYNCHERS. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., April 1.—The authorities — in Taney County are having a very hard time trying to learn the truth and bring out the facts in the trialofthe lynchers, the slayers of Deputy Williams and ex-Coroner Day. Intimidation, perjury and ignorance are among the obstacles met. The friends of the defense have been very active and it is hard to get witnesses at all, much less to get them to testify. In the case of witness Howard Coombs from Roark, the whole situation is shown. Heisa boy of 15 and is sup to know a great deal. Atthe inquest he gave some valuable information, but when re- called yesterday denied everything and pro- fessed the most intense ignorance, He had confessed to Prosecuting Attorney Sharpe, whois now sick, that he had been threat- ened, but yesterday even denied this. After two hoursof close examination he left the stand without having revealed a single fact. Other witnesses are acting in the same way and the whole path of the inquiry is blocked with such obstacles. POISON SUSPECTED. LANCASTER, Pa., April 7.—Ada R.

CURSED HIM. Wm. Griffin’s Exciting Scene With His Wife’s Lover, ——E = Henry Geiselhard Calls on the Pris- Oner at the Four Courts. | GRIFFIN EXPRESSES A DESIRE TO GET AT HIM THROUGH THE BARS. Geiselhard Makes a Statement in Which He Endeavcrs to Throw the Whole Blameon the Woman and Esays That Helsan Innocent Dupe—Griffin’s Re- leasé—Meeting With His Wife. + Henry Geiselhard, the man whom Wm. F. Griffin accuses of being the cause of all ‘his troubles with his wife, cailed at the Four Oourts this morning to see Griffin. He was given a permit to taik tothe prisoner through the screened door opening into the calaboose from the corridor. Itis almost impossible to recognize an acqtaintance through this screen and Mr, Griffin had to ask who his visitor was. **‘lam Geiselbard!’’ was the answer, ‘‘and Itame tomake an explanation.’’ **I want no explanation from you,’’ said Griffin, ‘‘and it’s a good thing for you that these bars are between us.’’ “Tcame to tell you,’’ continued Getsel- hard,’’ ‘*that I did not write that note to your wife, and have not seen her since last Thursday.’’ **You’re a liar!’’ cried Griffin. ‘‘You’re a ad—d dirty Mar, and a scoundrel and a loafer,’’ his voice getting louder as he spoke. **But I’m not,’’ insisted Gelselhard quietly, in the same tone he had used from the start. **You are, too, and your father told me you were a loafer. You’re the scoundrel that has been writing to my wife and has caused me all this trouble. ’’ **Well, if you won’t hear my explanation, there’s no use talking to you any longer,’’ said Gelselhard, and he turned and walked away. Mr. Griffin was by this timeina high state of excitement and again called him a loafer and a scoundrel and a Har. GEISELHARD’S EXPLANATION. After leaving the calaboose, Mr. Geiselhard made the explanation he had intended for Mr. Griffin toa Post-DisPpaTcn reporter. **] don’t deny, said he, ‘‘that I cor- responded with Mrs. Griffin, but I do deny that I have been intimate with her since her marriage to Griffin andI deny that I took her to a theater last Saturday night or to any other place or that I was out with her and I do deny aisothat Il wrote the note which Mr. Griffin found in the grate last Tuesday night. I ny, too, thatl was at 2305 Chestnut street that night. Mr. Griffin has simply got @pother man confounded with myself and I am beginning to think that he has been helped to this confusion of persons and Names by his wife. It seems to me that she is unloading everything on me. Iam willing te shoulder some of the blame, but not all of it. Idid notintend totell what I know or anything, in fact, until I was dragged into it. i she told him that that note last esCay nivtit was from me, I simply Say that she has been trying’ to deceive him. “he has known all along that he knew of our correspondence and to shield her lovers, she has made him believe that it wasIwho took her out to the theaterand Other piaces, Icansee through it all now, but couldn’t before. Now, 1 haven’t seen the woman since last Thursday afternoon andso far as taking her out last Saturday nicht is concernec, I can provethatI was working tn a barber shop that night.’’ Mr. Gelselhard named the shop, but asked that it not be published, as he didn’t want to drag his employer into the scandal, *‘Nor have lseen the woman; with the ex- ception of last i hursday, since Jast October, during the Fair. I was then working at Springfiel!, 1ll., dnd came down to the Fair, as lhave always done, and while inthe city some of my friends told me that Mrs. Griffin was inthe city also and was visiting her mother.

That was some eight or ten years ago.

Well, I have my suspicions. When I was there last Thursday afternvon Mrs. Griffin got a note from one of her lovers, named Kugene. I don’t Know his’ other pame, but Mr. Griffin knows him well. This js the man whom I believe she has been rep- resenting to her husband as myself. But if he wants to find out about his wife he won't have to go outside of his own house for in- formation. He should go ana put some direct questions to one of the boarders—he knows whom I mean—and the information he wants may come out. bs SENT FOR HIM, **Hiow didIcometotake Mr. Griffin’s pis- ?

NOONAN PUSH PROMISE TO DIE VERY HARD. THE The Friends of Stone and Gibson Getting Ready to Enliven the Preliminary Con- test—Candidate O’ Meara Declares That He Is Neutral—Noonan Leaders Get- ting Even—General Politicai News. The action ofthe Democratic City Central Committee calling simultaneous primaries for the election of delegates tothe Sedalia, St. Louls, Hannibal and Jefferson City Con- ventions for Wednesday, April 27, insures some lively political log-rolling in this city between now and that date, The four conventions, as is understood, will elect delegates to the National Convention, the general State convention and tothe two ju- dicial Conventions. The first of these con- ventions will be held in Sedalia, May ll, and this will select the four delegates - at - large to the National Convention. The delegates from the Congressional districts will choose the district delegates. The last of the series of conven- tions meetsin Jefferson City, July 19, and this one will nominate the State ticket from Governor down, The candidates who expect St. Louis’ sup- port are expected to do some active canvassing and Dick Dalton, one ofthe gubernatorial candidates, is now on the ground doing more work, he claims, than if he was on his Ralls County farm. THE PUSH COMBINATION. The decided anti-Noonan turn taken’by the Central Committee is generally accepted as a death-blow to the combination the Noonan ‘*push’’ made to give the city delega- tion to Candidate WwW. J. Stone for Governor and Col, Chas. H, Jones for delegate-at-large to the National Conven- tion. The same combination intended to help out Supreme Judge Sherwood in bis race for renomination. Now that Stone stock has gone down the supporters of Dalton and Gib- son have started intotake advantage of the situatien, The Stone men now realize that some of the hardest kind of work must be done within the next three weeks to give him a fair share of the city delegates and the friends of Gibson and D.

Claycomb, thejother candidates, have made no canvass in the city whatever, and are not expected to place any delegations in the fleld. olding a primary election under the State law is recognized asa costly affair, and candidates and their friends will be slow in placing del- egationsin the fleld, unless they see a fair chance of success. For this reason it is not believed that there will be mure than twoor three sets of delegations in any of the wards, Underthe law eath delegation in each ward must put up $50, or $1,400 for the entire city. If Dalton’s supporters, for in- stance, put a delegation in each wardit will take $1,400 to pay the expenses, not to speak of the cost of electioneering. UNUSUALLY STRONG INTEREST The primaries will attract unusual atten- tion, principally on account of the decided departure from the old methods. The fac- tional fight between the ‘‘push’’ and ‘*pull’’ will also help to draw out a large vote. Recorder Carlisle said to-day that he would select the polling places and nog with all the other provisions as soon as he was offi- cially notified of the date. He wiil also ap.- point the judges and cierks from the lists submitted him by the opposing delegations when,they are presented, While the law is rather costly the provisions are so emphatic- ally stated in the act that there is little room left for fraud.

ES Secretary emerged he was asked for his view ofthe situation, but declined to say any- phing. ‘‘We’'ll bide our time and wait till our day comes. That’sallIhave to say. I decline to discuss the situation. ’’ Committeeman Fleming said that Long Green was the potent factor behind the com- mittee’s action. He said the primaries would create a big rumpus, but thought their side would come outall right, as the Recorder would be bound to give ali sides a fair deal. **Fush”’ Leaders Getting Even. Anton Nieser, a brother of Central Commit- teeman Martin Nieser of the Seventh Ward, is now out of a joband politicians of ‘‘anti- push’’ propensities say itisallon account of the refusal of his brother to vote the Noonan way at the Central Committee meeting Tues- day night. Nieser, until Tuesday last held a position under Supt. A 0. Lohrum atthe City Work-house. This, it appears, was se- cured through the influence of his brother, Martin, who represents the Seventh Ward in the Central Committee. Every effort was by Secretary Brennan and other to fet his vote, Marshal refused other way. This it is charged, was what prompted Supt. Lohrum to remove his brother. In his re- port to the Board of Public Improvements, which controls the Work-house,he gave ‘‘ne- glect of duty’’ asthe cause of Nieser’s re- moval. The ‘‘pull’’ politicians say that the **negiect of duty’’ wasin reality the refusal of Committeeman Nieser to heip the Noonan forces. Other decapitations are looked for atthe City Hall. Andrew Koland, the Committee- man, whothough holding a position under the administration assisted in routing the Noonanites at the committee meeting, was stillat work to-day; as was wh te pe nat | In- spector H.L.Skidmore, a brother of the Third Ward committeeman, and John Fogarty, a near relative of Committeeman Fitzgerald of the Twenty-fotrth Ward. City Hall gossip has it that both of these relatives will be re- lieved of their places when the Mayor gets back to the hall. For Fair Primaries. A meeting of the Democratic clubs of the north side of the Twenty-fourth Ward was held last night. It was largely attended and great interest in the coming primary election was manifested. The following resolutions were adopted: Be it resolved by the North Side Democratic Club of the Twenty-fourth Ward, that the manly stand taken by Kecorder of Voters Carlisle in the interest of fair primaries in the Democratic party be heartily indorsed. Be it further resolved that the thanks of this club be tendered to Mr. Ryan for his work in the Legis'ature of this State, in introducing, work- ing for and finally passing through that body the new primary law, which mérits the approval of ail Democrats in thatit secures a free ballot and an honest count, and abolishes bossism and fraud from the primaries. He it reselived further that the Post- DISPATCH be heartily thanked for the interest it has taken in explaining and publishing that law so thoroughly in its columns for the yerpove of good government and the sacred right of the citizen to have his vote counted as cast, The club will continue to rouse up interest in the primaries and itis expected that the vote brought out will be the largest ever known ina primary electionin the Twenty- fourth Ward. O’Meara’s Position. John B. O’Meara, who announces that he is in the race.for Lieutenant-Governor to stay, said this morsing that any impression that he had any part in the developments at the City Centrai Committee Tuesday: night was incorrect. ‘‘I was notat that meeting,’’ he said, ‘‘and took no part for or against any side. I have a race of my own on hand ond it would be unreasonable to suppose that would antagonize any element of the party. Iam making a race in da faith, and pro- pose to steer clear of allcommittee upris- ings, reorganizations and the like.’’ Wenneker’s Successor. Collector Wenneker is still whiting for official news from Washington, All he has thus far from his friends at the capital is that the race for his place lies between Col, uarte Frank Parker and George W. Fishback. Whiié Washington dispatches say he will be re: moved, Mr. Wenneker says he will not be- lieve it until the President names his suc- cessor. The Republican Prima y.

_ St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Chursday, April @, 1882. A BAD BREAK. | MADE Joe Pritchard, Although Un divorced, Takes Out a Marriage License. ean , HE AND MISS VIRGINIA M. LEWIS SUP- POSED TO HAVE BEEN MARRIED. They Made a Trip to Belleville and Got a License From the County Clerk— Miss Lewis’ Friends Say They Under- stand She Was Married by a Lutheran Minister, ® Joseph F. Pritchard and Virginia M. Lewis walked into the County Olerk’s office at Belleville, Ill., yesterday afternoon and secured a marriage license. They left the office, and it is said were married quietly by a Lutheran minister in that place. **Joe’’ Pritchard is well known in St. Louis as a former publisher of the Price Current,and also as a sporting correspondent for newspa- rs. Virginia M. Lewis of No. 1020 North Twenty- first street, this city, is the lady. Pritchard has been living at-her home since he separ- ated from his wife several months ago. The couple went over to Belleville yesterday after- mipon and returnea home later in the evening and,stated that they had been married. PRITCHARD ALREADY MARRIED. The announcement of his marriage will be a great surprise to Pritchard’s friends, as he was already married and hasa wife living in this city. He has nof secured a divarce as faras could be learned from his first wife, nor has any application been made for one. Pritchard. is a good-looking and somewhat portly gentieman about 38 years of age. He has been married about eight or ten years, but had no children. For some years he pub- lished the Price Current under the firm name of Harker &Pritchard, but a year ago he sold = out his interest in the paper and became a ticket broker on Broadway. Last spring he went - on a spree and went to California and remained some months. On hisreturn he gave up his business as ticket broker and did not go to live with his wife. He. be- came attached, it was said, to Miss Virginia Lewis of North Twenty-first street, better known as ‘'Jennie’’ Lewis, and since last summer she /has taken all his spare moments and he has beenliving at her house, He has since been acting as St. Louis sport- ing correspondent for a number of news- aper. THE MARRIAGE CONFIRMED. In answer to a query at the house No. 1020 North Twenty-first street the woman who opened the door said: ‘*Yes, Miss Lewis was married to Mr. Pritchard in Belleville yesterday. [ do not know where they are now, but they are not in the house.’’ THE FIRST MRS. PRITCHARD. Mrs. Pritchard, the first wife of the newly-wedded cpbrrespondent, was seen at the house of her aunt. Mrs. Rufus Simson, 3047 Dickson street. She was informed of the reported marriage of her husband and then she was asked: ‘*Has he secured a divorce from you?’’ ‘*‘Why, oo, he has not.’* Mrs. Pritchard was too much shocked to say more for a few minutes. She then continued: **He was here to see me only last Saturday night. He was drunk at that time, put seemed inclined to come back to me. He went to the grocery and bought some articles forthe house. He has always paid my rent, and he said every time that I saw him that he could not leave this woman because she had him so enslaved.’’ Mrs. Simson was far more indignant than Mrs. Pritchard, and the two ladies gave vent to their feelings in dire threats of legal vengeance and a Penitentiary berth for Mr. Pritchard. Mrs. Pritchard said that she of late thought very serieusly of preferring charges of adultery and abandonment against her husband, but she had no idea that he would go to that length. BELLEVILLE CONFIRMS THE NEWS. At the County Clerk’s office, Belle- ville, they gave a description of Joe Pritchard which tallies exactly with that of the st. Louls newspaper correspondent and stated that he informed him that he was the’ newspaper correspond- ent of this city. He and Miss Lewis were accompanied by Rev. Dr. Kughn,the Lutheran m)nister of Belleville,and while the license had not yet been returned they had no doubt about the ceremony having been performed, DENIES IT WAS‘HE. At a late hour this afternoona man claim- to be Joe Pritchard telephoned the Post- Dis- PATCH denying that he was the party who took out the marriage license at Belleville. While it seems probable that the mar- riage license. was taken out by the couple thereis noevidence that they were married beyond hearsay, and itis possible they have not been married at all. THE CIVIL COURTS. A Deaf Mute Brings Suit for Divorce— James Heaphy’s Will Contested. Mrs. Anna E. Johnson, a mute, begana suit for divorce to-day against Herbert L. John- son, who is also said to be a mute, on the grounds of abuse and failure to sup- port. They were married Nov. 20, 1890, and lived together until to-day. Mrs. Johnson also alleges that her husband borrowed money on her furniture and piano, .and pawned herwatch. He spends his money tor whisky, she alleges, and gets drunk. Henry Boewmler is her at- torney. The Stepdaughter Gets a Share. Judge Fisher heard to-day the suit of Alphonsus T. Heaphy, Mary E. Heaphy and Matthew W. Heaphy, by their guardian, Josepn G. Halliday, against Maggie F. Gart- Jand, Hugh Gartland and Elizabeth Heaphy. The action was to construe the will of James Heaphy, whose estate consisted of a 25-foot lot on Lucas avenue, city block 931, as to whether he intended Defendant Maggie Foley Gartland, who was his stepdaughter, to have an equal share with his own children. Judge Fisher decided that the testator Intended to include his stepdaughter with hisown children and 60 construed the will. Frank A. C. McManus represented the stepdaughter. The Guests May Make Up. The case of Hattie D. Guest against her husband, James H.- Guest, in which Mrs. Guest, asked for the appointmentofa re- ceiver for the Guest Watch Co. at °02 Locust street; was dismissed by the plaintiff to-day. James H. Guest brought suit recently against . . RR, O. Kellogg, ex-pastor of the ethel Mission, on a charge of alleniating the affections of Mrs. Guest, the suit resulting in a@non-suit. Mrs. Guest alleged that she had an interest in the Guest Watch Co., andasked foranaccounting. It is stated that a recon- cillation between Guest and his wife is pend- ing which led to the dismissal of the suit. Queer Things Happen Down There. Paris, Tex., April 7.—From Frank Newell, a prominent cattleman from Eagle County, Choctaw Nation, the account of a singu- lar phenomenon is learned. He states that a few days ago a large meteor fell on the rairie near Kagleton with such force that he earth fairly trembled. When it struck the ground a hissing, splutterin sound was heard like that oO hot iron being plunged into water. Those who saw it descending say that it had the appearance ofa large balloon. On striking the earth it went down several feet, leaving twelve feet standing above the ground, The weight of it is estimated at many tons. The Test Is, Will He Go Again?P From the Cloak Review. Briggs: ‘*Do you think that Robinson loves er?’’ Griggs: ‘He went shopping with her.’’ Rev. Thos. Jackson’s Lecture. / At the Marquette Club this evening the Very Rev. Thomas Jackson, Aposoltic Prefect of Northern Borneo, will deliver an address en **Borneo—Ilts People and Ous- ‘ toms,’’ The lecture’ will be free and members of the club are permitted to invite friends. Father Jackson has been engaged in missionary work among the wild tribes of Borneo for the past twelve years and his accounts ofthe perils which he has encountered on thatisland are intensely in- teresting and instructive. THEATRICAL BROTHERHOOD INDIGNANT The Musicians’ Union Must Declare Its Position in the Olympic Theater Strike. The Grievance Committee of the Trades and Labor Union will hold a meeting to-night at the headquarters, Fourth and Valentine streets, for the purpose of actingon the re- port of a committee of the Musicians’ Union made last Monday night. The report is in regard to the boycett declared by the Theatrical Brotherhood against the Olympic Theater and is is likely to result in some sen- sational action. Some time ago the Theatrical Brotherhood requested the Musicians’ Union, as a union organization to aid them in their strike for the union scale of wages and the employment of union labor only. The strike was against the Olympic Theaterand the Musicians’ Union promised their assistance. Last Monday night their committee reported that at the request of Manager Pat Short of the Olympic the union would take no action in the case before April 15, at which time Proprietor Spalding of tne Olympic would be in st.Louis and could treat with them in person. The Theatrical Brother- hood claim that this is only a scheme of the Musicians’ Union to evade going on record inastrike, and they insist ‘thatthe union shall declare itself on one side or the other. The Trades and Labor Union, it is said, also takes this position and will force the issue on the Musicians’ Union. MURDERED FOR A FORTUNE.. An Heiress Foully Slain by Her Uncle. OMAHA, Neb., April 7.—Annie Williams of this city was attacked by her uncle, Llewellyn Williams, andso badly beaten with a sledge hammer that she will die. Miss Williams is heiress to a large property in England. Several months ago her uncle came from England and urged her to sign her inherit- ance over to him. She refused, but offered him a home with her, her father being in Sioux City. He accepted her offer, but after brooding for a time over her refusal to sign over the inheritance to him became crazed and assaulted her. He is now in custody. SAMSON SENTENCED. LONDON, April 7.—At the Middlesex Sessions to-day before Justice Sir P. H, Edlin, the trial was resumed of Carl August E. Samson, the American ‘‘strong man,’’ for the theft of diamonds and other jewelry valued at £300, andthe sum of $750 in money from Mrs, Margaret Bernstein, his former mis- tress. The jury returned a verdict of guilty and the Judge sentenced Sampson toone year’s imprisonment at hard labor. LABOR NEWS. Work—Reading Closed. NEw YorK, April 7.—Asa result of the set- tlement between the Pelham Hod Hoisting Co, and the Board of Walking Delegates of the building trades, about 4,000 mechanics resumed work this morning. The strike was owing to the company’s employment of non- union men. The company has suspended the non-union men foran indefinite period. Be- fore 10 o’clock to-day all the men on strike had returned to work. Returning to Shops READING SHOPS CLOSED. Easton, Pa., April 7.—A notice has been re- ceived from the main office of the Reading system directing the Lehigh Valley shops in South Easton to close down three daysa week until further orders. These shops are the finest and largest onthe system and em- ploy nearly 600 men. AMONG THE BROKERS. A Dull Market—Stocks Sold and Prices Obtained To-Day.

The Duty on Wool Removed by a Party Vote. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 7.—Mr. Dawe presented a petition for the naturalization of such Chinamenas came to this country be- fore the passage of the first exclusionact with the intention of making it their permanent home... Mr. Teller, after consultation with Mr. Wol- cott and other silver men, offered a resolu- tion for present consideration, directing the ’ Secretary of the Treosury to furnish the Sen- ate with a statement of the amount of silver bullion offered to the Government each month since the passage ofthe act of 1890, by whom offered and at what price, the amount purchased each month andat. what price, and number of days given the sellers in which to deliverthe silver. The resolution was adopted. ' Mr. Cameron gave notice that to-morrow, immediately after the close of morning business, he should move that the Senate go into executive session. The Senate devoted the restof'the day to the annual appropriation bill for the ex- enses ofthe Government of the District of Jolumbia. In the House Mr. Cobb of Alabama sub- mitted the minority report onthe Rockwell- Noyes contested election case. Bills were reported to make Laredo, Tex., @ sub-port of entry and to authorize the Continental Bridge Co. to construct a bridge across the Rio Grande River at or near Brownsville, Tex. The House then proceeded with the free wool bill, Mr. Wilson of West Virginia taking the floor to ctose the debate. He said the absence of Mr. Springer at this time was due to his untiring energy and un-’ swerving industry intbe close application given to the tariff measures, for which he had paid the penalty of a dangerous illness. He also complimented Mr. Breckenridge on his speech delivered yesterday, which had covered many points he had intended to make to-day. Standing in the second aisle onthe Democratic side and speaking without notes he made a masterly arraignment of the principles of protection. His speech was frequently applauded by his colleagues, who paid close attention to his remarks. The bill was then passed bya party vote of 192 to 60. A sensation was sprung unexpectedly in the Raum investigation this morning, when Mr. Enloe asked if the secretaries of Congress- men ever sold information of the status of claims to pension attorneys. Mr. Raum hada big bundle of papers, and was prepared for just that sort o uestions, forhe produced them and read ietters in whichthe charge was made that Samuel R. Hersey had, through Ragan & Co. of Kenton, 0O., and H. C. Peel of Columbus, Ind., carried on quite a business ofthis sort, charging $5 to each claimant for Status. It was then shown that Her- sey had called up these cases on Congressional slips signed by Repre- sentative Cooper of Indiana, one of the rosecutors inthe case. Hersey also worked Brookshire of Indiana and Mr. but it was not Hersey’s connection had been the same case as withthe Cooper case, the investiga- tion directed by the commissioner having related solely to Mr. Cooper. It is stated that a sealed package of $10,000 has been lost between New Orleans and this city while in the hands of the United States Express Co. The money was consigned to the United States Treasury. CHAPLAIN PHILLIPS’ DOWNFALL. A Prominent Clergyman of Alton Sus- pended on Grave Charges. ALTON, Ill., April 7.—The religious circles of this city are very much stirred up over the developments ofachurch trial, which took place at the First Methodist Church yesterday afternoon and last night and was held with closed and guarded doors and no Information was given out untillast night, when the ver- dict ofthe jury was made public. Rev. J. W. Phillips, Chaplain of the Illinols Penitentiary, at Joliet, and at one time pastor of the First Methodist Church here, and also a presiding elder in that church, was charged with the ruin and downfall of Mrs. J. M. Laird, wife of Rev. J. M. Laird, a minister inthe samechurch. Yhe jury, com- sed of Reves. W. A. Cross, Shipman; J. carp, Jerseyville; W. M. Morrow, Elsah; H. H. Keith, Towanda, and F. L.: Thompson, Litchfield, found the revy- erend gentleman guilty of the charges, and he was suspended from the ministry until the meeting of the Southern Lllinois Conference. The case grew out of the developments of the arrest and trialofthe Rev. J. M. Laird foranattemptto bDlackmalil Hon. Frank M. Bowman of East 8t. Louis. Mrs, Laird, in her confession to her husband, claims that Rev. Mr. Phillips’ intimate relations with here began at the Brent House, in this -city. Her testimony was supported by her sister, Miss Myers of St. Louis, and by another lady, the wife ofa prominent Methodist minister, who testified that Mr. Phillips had attempted her ruin., All the parties are weil known in this city, and the scandal has created quite a sensation. Rev. Mr. Phillips has been the manager of the latform exercises at Piasa Bluffs Assembly or many years, and besides being prominent in G. A. R. circles wasa leading Republican politician, having received his appointment of chaplain at Joliet from Gov. Fifer for party services. PLAYED TO THEIR TUTORS. Successful Concert Given by the Christian Brothers’ College Students. The concert given by students of the Chris- tian Brothers’ College last evening in compli- ment to their fellow students and the faculty was a most successful affair. The selettions, which were of a classical order, were well rendered and greatly enjoyed by all present. This musicale is an annual feature inthe College entertainments, and represents the best talentintheinstitution. Tolend a little variety tothe exercises afew readings were given by members of the senior division. Prof, Frank Gecks, Jr., who has won a name in St. Louis as a virtuoso, also contrib- uted a selection and was heartily encored. The concluding number, ‘‘Auld Lang Syne,’’ was sung by the entire body of students, after which Brother Paullan, Presi- dent of the college, congratulated the partic- ipants for the manner in which they had rendered a very taking programme, and thanked them in the name of all for what had been a most plesgsantevening. The success of the musicale was largely due to the untir- ing efforts of Prof. John F, Collins. The programme was as follows: Overture, ‘*Polacca Brillante,’’ (Von Weber-Liszt), Charles D. vohnson; Intro- ductory, ‘*The Power of Music,’’ (Pierpont), Bernard H.

OUT OF SIGHT. Curtain Rung Vvown on the Borrowe- Drayton Farce. New YorkK, April 7.—A morning paper says that a call late last evening atthe residence of Mr. Hallett Alsop Borrowe, developed the information that alr. Borrowe and Harry Vane Milbank (his second in the duel with J. Coleman Drayton) had sailed for Europe on the Inman liner City of Paris. That their departure was secretly made is shown by the fact that. their names do not appear on the passenger list of any of the outgoing steamers. LS Deaths.

From the Springfield Republican. ‘*Jack’’ Hallainis drunk again, and those who shook their heads when he was sent to the Keeley Institute at White Plains, N. Y., now say, ‘‘I told youso’’ inchorus. Still, Jack has notan enemy who can take secret pleasure in seeing his final downfall, for final it must be now. People tolerated his unwashed face and hands, and the ragged, scanty clothing, for the ordinary beggar could not pass the door of offices always opentohim. Forten years he lived like a tramp, the only sober weeks he enjoyed being behind the bars in some strange city, for he was rarely arrested in Springfield. On leaving the jail he would start straight for Elisha Morgan, and soon be outonthe street with a box of envelopes, which he sold on his ‘‘circuit’’ at clear profit. Then he went tothe soldiers’ home at Togus, Me., and at intervals would takea furlough and a freight car truck ride to Washington to look after his pension, ‘*‘They’ll shovel me up from the tracks some night, but fudge, I don’t care,’’ and he begged enough for a tripto the National Cap- itallastsummer. He returned just when the fame of the Keeley cure had reached Spring- field, and men who had ‘‘chipped in’ to start Jack afresh many and manya time, said, ‘thore’sa chance totestthecure. Ifit will cure Jack it cancure anybody.’’ But Jack would not go. ‘‘Fudge! I’m going to hell anyhow, what’s the use?’’ Finally Roger Morgan pictured tothe helpless victim the quality and quantity of the liquors served at Keeley. He could have all he wanted to drink and, faithfulto his benefactor, he de- cided to go. The money was quickly raised by subscription. Jack had a bath, andar- rayed ina comfortable suit,even an overcoat, started with one who hadtaken an interest in his welfare. At White Plains he fared as others there fare. He drank freely fora few days, anc suddenly found the stuff nauseated him. Then he felt the first thrillof hope he had known for years. From a gloomy, cringing Slave, he grew into a man. He actually laughed a free, hearty laugh, when not a smile had passed his pinched features for months, He was surrounded by men of wealth and breeding, for few such as Jack could afford the Keeley treatment. The pa- tients all took an interest in Jack, and for weeks after he returned he received manya letter from a ‘*‘high-toned’’ graduate from the bichloride school, Whatever may be the permanent effects of the treatment, it cer- tainly transformed Jack, for he came back like one born again. There was a rally of the manhood, actual traces of self-respect and a childlike enthusiasm. He worked as hard as his strength would permit and actu- ally refused money he did not earn. He hunt- ed upa long-deserted sister and boarded at herhome. He bought a pair of boots, with his own money, too,and exhibited them with as much pride as the youngster his first signs of emancipation from girls’ clothes. He laid aside a little in the bank and watched it grow with the resolve to pay back those who sent him to the Keeley cure. He kept clean and added to his stock of clothing; he even had his picture taken and was not sure whether he looked best with his hat on or bareheaded. Once he strolled over to the police station, following an officer and watching with curt- ous interest the sot being dragged to a cell. But Jack was once @n expert paper-ruler, and he wanted to get back to his trade again, for then he could show to the world that he was @ man once more, sucha man as when to find men e visited the he must not be overconfident. Prosperity and hope continued for a month. Then Jack’s eyes began to trouble him. He left his work and started for New York to see an oculist, without giving his friends warning. What happened there Jack may never be sober enough to tell. At all events the slender stay against an over- owering appetite was broken, and the ownward impulse, accelerated by long strides, swept him along again. He had $60 in his pocket and was well dressed when he went; he crawled back to New Haven in an overcoatand a pair of dirty trousers. He got money enough to pay his way back to springfiela, but then was ashamed to see those who had helped him, and spent the nightin the basement instead of climbing the stairs. ‘*I’m booked for hell now, sure; ’taint no use, is it?’’ and he took another truck ride toNew York City, where, when last heard from, he was !n his old-tim condition. Rum is on top again, and Jack !s lost, although tne struggle was heroic while it lasted. And the news Willraise a lumpin many a throat. Few men have had more earnest effort to save them.

UTOPIA IN AFRICA, The Scheme to Work Out the Social Prob lem Near Mount Kenia. From the New York Sun. No one supposed when Dr. Hertzka published his philosophical novel, ‘*‘Free- land,’’ some years ago, in which he proposed a solution for the so- cial question, that people would be found ready toseeK some secluded place in Africa for the = of carrying his theory into effect. Such an attempt, however, isto be made. Inthe author’s ideal state everybody was toenjoy absolute freedom, all real prop- erty was to be common,and each member was to live by the fruits of his individual labor, without capital or private possession. He located. his imaginary colony among the equatorial highiands of East Africa, in the region of Mount Kenia. From the writings of Thomson, and one or two others, he had got the idea thatthis part ofthe Dark Conti- nent could be made a sort of an earthly para- dise. Itis, in fact, high above the sea. and, as tropical African countries go, it is hae healthful, but the natives in the Kenia region have never treated strangers with hospitality, and the fact that Dr. Peters killed a good many of them during his march to Victoria Nyanza has probably not in- creased their love for white men. The news comes from Vienna that twenty- eight associations, counting 1,000 members, have decided to join the enterprise. One en- thusiast has given them $10,000. Two mem- bers are now in Africa making investizations before the pioneer party is sent out. This ad- vance part will consist of fifty picked col- onists, who will goto the Kenia Region and ascertain the quality of the soll, the attitude of the natives and the prospects of support- ing a colony there, before larger Dumbers, journey. This is one of the most Utopian projects that has come to light recently. ‘The a who wish to test the practicability of Dr. Hertzka’ theories wou ce have a chance todo so unmolested by white influ- ences in the Kenia region.

The Spirit of Her Father’s Genius Shines Through Her Eves. In person Miss Gladstone is tall and rather ungraceful, a defect which is intensified by her carelessness in the matter of dress—a very unimportant itemin her busy life; but one forgets her want of grace in the charm of her face, which, without being really hand- some, fascinates by its earnest expression, writes Ethel Mackenzie McKenna In the serles of ‘‘Clever Daughters of Clever Men’’ inthe April Ladies’ Home Journal. The spirit of her father’s genius shines through her eyes, and causes one to forget that her features are wanting in actual beauty. She wears her hair brushed from her face in rather severe style, andcolledina Knot at the back of her head. Her forehead is low, but well shaped; her mouth rather large, with full, expressive lips. Miss Glad- stone is ofa very retiring nature, having a great dislike to publicity of any sort, and is by no means the ‘‘strong-minded’’ woman whom one would expect to find at the head of acgliege. Although her views on most sub- jects are extremely strong, this fact only serves to intensify her individuality, without detracting from her sweet and womanly nature. Many ofthe qualities which have endeared the ‘‘grand old man’’ to those around him, reproduce themselves in his daughter, who resembles him in charac- ter as she does in appearance. His personality has set its stamp upon her; her nature bears the impression of his. No wonder that her strony feelings are usually in accordance with thoseof her father, and that in his political views his daughter is one of his most ardent followers. Another less important subject on which her ideas coincide with those of Mr. Gladstone is a great beliefin the virtues of strong exer- cise, and though I have never heard of her his tree-cutting operations, she is an indefatigable walker, and endeavors to make her girls follow her example. Although her nature is a reserved one, and sheisasa rule rather silent, she is, when interested, a most brilliant talker, and her powers of con- versation constitute one of her great charms. Even the most frivolous ‘‘don’’ wonid feel delighted ‘at belng requested to take Miss Gladstone in to dinner.

VICE-PRESIDENT MORTON is quoted as saying that he would not scramble fora renomination, but if it were tendered him ie would not refuse it, but would go into The assurance that are at the disposal of his party will doubtless make it unnecessary for him to scramble forthe honor. Mr. Morton occupies the high ground proper to a millionaire states- man, EVERYBODY seems to be convinced that the Republic is the greatest newspaper on earth and has the largest ciroulation—ex- cept the public, The SunpDay Post-D1s- PATCH and the Globe-Democrat are each given, week after week, nearly ten times as many ‘‘small ads’’ asare given to the Republic. Last Sunday the SunDaAy Post- DISPATOH contained 1,347 of these ‘‘small ads,’’ while the total in the Republic of the same day was 286. a —— THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. There isa fine prospect for a distinctly Noonan and anti-Noonan fight in the Democratic primaries on the 27th inst., the only issue being whether the Noonan ma- chine shall be indorsed as the Democratic machine in municipal, State and Federal politics. The nomination for President will not figure init. There is not enough differ- ence of opinion among Democrats on that subject to give it standing room in this contest. Nor is enough interest yet felt in any candidate for State office to give him more than a secondary influence upon the result. The slate-making on both sides will, therefore, be a mere matter of cam- paign tactics or traffic—all subordinate to the question of perpetuating the Noonan bossism and extending the political sway of ‘‘de push.’’ It is well known that a multitude of voters who were Noonan men from faith in the professions and prom- ises he has so shamelessly’ dis- honBred, are anti-Noonan men now. But only the result of this contest will show how much new support he has ac- quired by selling out these honestand de- ceived friends to buy up the bosses and boodlers who, having opposed him for a consideration, were ready to support him on similar terms the moment he became Mayor, and are just as ready to sell him out pow. The newspaper that three years ago rat- ed himas a hoodlum ofthe lowest type, and declared that his nomination would disgrace and defeat the Democratic party, has since been droppedas an inefficient and abnormally hungry organ by its former employers and, among other des- perate price-cutting expedients, is now ex- hibiting itself as an organ ofthe Noonan ‘‘push,’’ bought with the promise of a del- egateship to the National Convention and a Stone delegation to the State Con- vention. Whether such cheap truck as this and the support of boodle ‘‘combines’’ and railroad attorneys that opposed him three years ago can now carry the primaries for the Noonan slate is the question to be de- cided on the 27th. — er Mr. McKINLEY’s admission that pro- tection does not raise wages isa surrender of hiscase. When headds that it holds wages on a higher level than in Europe, he knows that the facts are all against him, In the near future we may expect the Re- publicans to plant themselves on honest ground; that is they will advocate the tariff because it puts money in the pockets of monopolists, and then try to buy enough votes to carry elec- tions. This last may not be very difficult when we consider the number of. ignorant foreign workingmen who have. been im- ported to take the places of protected Americans. pe Rect aan vows boas z our congre nal c ates, ‘ol. ra.

Abbott of New Jersey continues to be dis- cussed in financial circles to-day and the ‘*street’’ accepted as conclusive President McLeod’s statement that the veto would simply inconvenience Reading, and that otherwise the anthracite coal combination would not be affected. It was stated yester- day that Attorney General Stockton of New Jersey would at once begin suit to annul the charters of the New Jersey Central and Port Reading Railroad for violating the law of 1883, which permits raliroads to consolitlate oniy after filing notice inthe office of the Secre- tary of state and obtaining permission from the Legislature. The Reading officials were informed of this statemeut, but they made light of the matter and declined to go into details. President McLeod could not be seen, but one of his representatives said that he had nothing to say in addition to the statements contained in the interview pub- lished to-day. Joun W.

Julius Houck, the collector for Harris, said that thre business was conducted by means of solicitors. Each man that joined paid$ila week. As soon as $38 was paid inthe first man on the list gota suit. When another $38 was paid in, the second on the Nst gota suit. Sony a man get a sult for $1?’’ *“Fes.”” ‘*What value would such a suit have?’’ **Phirty-eight dollars.’’ ‘*Do you know of any case in which a man has won a suit for $1?’’ ‘*T don’tknow ofany being won. of a suit being given for that.’’ The attorney of Harris objected, when Mr. Bass repeated the question, using the word **won,’’ asthe cases all depended upon the ability of the prosecution’s lawyers to prove that the business wasa lottery. Mr. Bass in- sisted on using ‘‘win’’ and ‘‘won,’’ and Judge Claiborne said that the words made no difference. He wanted only tofind out how the business was conducted. Collector Houck, continuing, said that the list of subscribers was continuous. There were no clubs. One suit was issued for each $38 paidin. If a man dropped out, the man next to him on the Ist got the suit. Lawyer McDonald stopped the witness for a moment and explained to Judge Claiborne that the business was perfectly legitimate. The only profit made on the clothes was the regular tailor’s profit, as a suit of clothes was issued for each $38 paid. Whenever a man paid $38 he got a suit. Mr. Bass replied that the court would get its information about the business from the witnesses and not from the lawyers. **We propose,’’ said he, ‘‘to show that the way of conducting this business is by lot and by chance.’’ **‘Who got that suit for $1?’’ said he, **Henry Cune.’’ Collector Houck added that the concern was giving out about seventy-six suits a week. Prosecutor Dierkes questioned Mr. Houck, and made clearer still that one man gota suit for much less than another had to pay. **‘When a man joins do you let him know his position on the list?’’ he was asked. Collector Houck said that couldn’t be done, as several solicitors were out working up sub- scribers all the time. Mr. Bass produced one of Mr. Harris’ ap- plications from subscribers and handed it up to Judge Claiborne. ‘‘We’ll mark this ticket ‘Exhibit A,’ ” said he. ‘Ticket! That’s noticket. that’s our ap- plication,’’ Mr. Harvey corrected. ‘*Ticket,’ I say, Your Honor,’’ Mr. Bass repeated, handing up the little slip to the Judge. . ‘*Your Honor,’’ satd Mr. McDonald, ‘*Mr. Bass has had numbers running in his head all day.’’ ‘*Well, Ihave’nt been playing policy for a suit of clothes, though,’’ retorted Mr. Bass. Collector Houck was examined at some length further. The solicitors, he said, got a@s pay the first dollar paid in by subscribers. **Now, Mr. Houck,’’ said Mr. Bass, ‘‘when @ man wins one of those suits——’’ ‘*‘Not wins,’’ interrupted Mr. Harvey ery: **Say obtained and you’ll be in ne.’’ f Mr. Bass substituted ‘‘obtains’’ tn his ques- tion and went on. ‘‘Now, in this revolving chance of getting suits——’’ ‘*Bass seems determined to some sort in this case,’’ Mr. rupted. Prosecutor Dierkes then took the witness, and began going over the concern’s business ynethods again. He was laughed away from his examination by the jeers of Mr. McDonald. ‘*Barney is just now beginning to realize what this thing is,’’ he said, mockingly. **Well, I suppose we are all at sea a little,’’ admitted the prosecutor. Judge Claiborne here stopped the case and Jaid it over till to-morrow, as it was getting late. Itis the impression among uninterest- ed lawyers who listened tothe testimony, that the State’s attorneys are not making out a case of lottery agaist Harris, and that Judge Claiborne will discharge him.

THE ONLY BARGAIN HOUSE OF ITS KIND IN AMERICA. ‘ee ‘ A CYCLONE’S WRATH — Arkansas Hamlets Swept Away by a Storm. AND PROPERTY SACRIFICED TO THE WIND’S FURY. LIFE Farm-Houses and Fences Leveled to the the Ground—Many Miraculous Escapes From Death—An Aged Man Killed ata Crossing—Collision at Sea-—The Cas- alty Record. LITTLE Rock, Ark., April 7.—A cyclone struck the northwestern portion of Faulkner County, Tuesday night. The storm swept the country for seven miles. The house of John Hale, near Quitman, was blown to pieces and the chimney fell upon and literally crushed Hale to death. The dwelling of a man named Tubbes was also de- molished. Nine persons in the building were injured, none being killed outright. Two persons were blown some distance upon beds in which they were sleeping when the storm struck the house. A school house which stood in the track ofthe cyclone was wiped as completely from the face of the earth as though it had never been. A house was unroofed for John Martin, near the Faulkner County line, his outbuildings de- molished and his orchard completely de- stroyed. The deadly wind had spent its force before it reached Quitman, but an awful darkness enveloped the town and great torrents of water fell, flooding the streets and lanes, North of Westpoint in White County the cyclone cut a path 250 yards wide and some miles in length, and came with such terrific force that but one house was left standing in its track. It struck the dwelling of Will Kirk, one and a half miles west of town. The whole family, consisting of himself, his wife, mother, and several childrén, were huddled together in the center of the room when the roof and walls were lifted from around them and _e they were huried with such force against the debris that all were more or less injured. The honsehold effects were almost entirely car- ried away or destroyed. Near by was the house of Henry Johnson. He was alone, and, becoming fright- ened, left the premises, when the house was blown down and, together with its contents entirely consumed by fire. It next destroyed Wm. Davidson’s barn, to- gether with all the out buildings and fences. At this point it jumped the river, destroying two dwellings and one barn for J. T. House and the valuable residence of J. V. Reynolds. The loss of property will aggregate thousands of dollars, The storm traveled ina northeasterly dl- rection, and, as faras known, only demol- ished three dwellings. The home of Robert Birkett, located about three miles southwest of Keener, a small station seventeen miles north of Poplar Bluff, Mo., was de- molished and the _ furniture’ scattered so.widely that it has not yet been re- covered. Fortunately Mr. and Mrs. Birkett received only slight bruises, but some cattle near the house were picked up bodily and blown some distance through the air, and when found were lying covered with debris. The house of Elijah Haynes, a quarter ofa mile east, was also wrecked, and the family, consisting of Haynes and wife and six children, were blown several yards. They were badly bruised, but it is not thought their injuries will prove fatal. Mrs. Holder a neighbor, was in the house at the time, and a spike was driven through. her cheek. The path ofthe tornado was about half a mile wide, and every stick of timber was leveled to the ground. The house of Henry Deal, on Black River, near Keener, isa total wreck, and Mr. Deal was severely injured by falling timbers. The storm passed intothe timber at this point, and what destruction was done beyond is not known, as the wires are down and no trains are running to Keener on account of high water. DIED FROM HER INJURIES. PARIS, Tex., April7.—A young lady named Lamar died at the home of Ed Love, near Colbert, I. T., a few days ago from the effects of terribie burns received twenty-four days before her death. While setting fire to grass on the prairie her clothing caught fire and she was enveloped in a mass of flame and her body was so badly burned that in many places the flesh dropped off so that the bones ‘were exposed. Her vitality was something almost without a precedent. INSTANTLY KILLED. WOONSOCKET, KR. I., April 7.—Irving A.

St. Paun, Minn., April 7.— George and Frank Eastman, aged 10 and 12, went fishing with a companion named Bechtel, at Sioux Falls, S. D., yesterday. During the day they ate wild parsnips. George is dead ang Frank isin avery precarious condition. The third boy managed to rid his stomach of the par- snips before being fatally poisoned. —— BRIDGE SWEPT AWAY. OTtuMWwaA, Io., April 7.—High water has swept away one span of the new $75,000 bridge being built across the Des Moines River. Seven workmen went down with the timbers and were only rescued with great difficulty, all being badly injured. COLLISION AT SEA. Lonpon, April 7.—The ship Jason of Glas- gow, Scotland, has reached Queenstown in a badly injured condition. The Jason collided with an unknown. steamer, which disap- peared immediately after the collision. The crew of the Jason are unable to speak as to the extent of the injury to the steamer. : Steinway Pianos. Large stock in all cases and styles, BOLLMAN Bros’.

Prime’s report April 6: ‘**The skies are clear and temperature rising and the indications seem favyor- able for settied weather. All my reports to-day fram thes “ and winter wheat districts indicate that the tir 14s now come when we must have better weathee to get seeding through the present month. The spring wheat reports show that taking the northwest country, which is north of Fargo, the situation to-day is more serious than it has been for the last fifteon years. There has not been 25 per cent of the plowing done and the country is literally under water.’’ The London Evening List (Dornbusch) of the 25th inst.. in ite weekly review of the British grain trade, Bays: English farmers are less despondent than they were three weeks ago when everythin looked bleak and bare and the backward state o tillage caused apprehension. Weather, sunny, dry and mild, has wrought much im- rovement in the agricultural situation he heavy lands are in _ “fine form, and spring sowing is being g why! prosecuted. The wheat fields are recovering their healthy look, and it is now ascertained thai the damage done to autumn and winter-sown Crops is comparatively smail. In Scotland, also, the outlook is much more cheering and the sowing ‘of oats and barley and the planting of potatoes arebeing pushed on. In France the wheat crop reports are more favorable and the area of win- ter-killed wheatis smaller than expected, In the northern and western departments the damaged fleltis are bein rapidly reseeded. In Belgium and Holland, high tempera- tureand rain have caused much improvemen and wheat is said to have survived the winter without ap- preciable damage. In Germany, clear weather has succeeded the snow, and wheat and rye on Os- pects are deemed fairly satisfactory cial popes speak favorably of the wheat erop Hungary. Potatoes and beats suffered pnsiderentd, and the colza crops are spoiled in several districts. In Italy and Spain the wheat crop outlook is encouraging. The shipments of the new crop of wheat have already begun from India. Odessa advices say that so far the autumn-sown cereals are not seriously injured, but the land under cultivation is believed to be smaller than usual. The Neue Freie Presse mentions thet according to advices received from St. Petersburg, the with- drawalof the grain export interdict may be ex- pected in July. Syria, Special Market Letter.

I have used the Electropoise myself for chronic rheu- matism with good results, also on one of my church members for chills and malarial fever and after four treatments she was cured. Our daughter has been cured of toothache of the worst kind with a few minutes’ use of the Electropolse. Twoofour children are now using it for nasal catarrh with great benefit andilam surethey willbe cured ina short time. I heartily recommend the Electro- poise. Yours, Rev. F.

Se Le ENGLISH HORSES, A Claim That They Are Superior to American Racers. THE THOROUGHBREDS OF THIS COUNTRY CRITICISED BY A BRITON. Horses Arriving at the Fair Grounds— Fred Johnston Will Probably Accept the Offer to Fight Dixon in America— Racing, Base Ball and Sporting News of All Kinds. There may be something about the turf of the United States which the American cor- respondent of the London Sportsman thinks wellof, butif so he has carefully refrained from mentioningit so far. His letters show him to be so, blindly prejudiced againt every- thing American and‘in favor of everything English that where he does point out an actual evil which exists here his argument loses its force. Here isthe way he compares the thoroughbreds of the two countries, his comments being somewhat condensed: A great deal of discussion has taken place about the respective merits of English and American horses. The question is one which can never be decided with the certainty of a mathematical problem. Upholders of Amer- ican horses point to the successes of Iroquois, Foxhail and Parole, while those who know something of the 33-year-old form of 188l are not so much disposed to attach great im- portance to these victories. While admitting the excellence of Foxhall and the good form of Iroquois and Parole, I am disposed to place their success to the credit of English breeding. While Foxhall was only grandsired by an English horse, the other two were sons of Leaming- ton. Three-fourths of the best winners in the United States have English sires or dams, and at least that proportion of the stakes is won by them. With one exception, Long- fellow, there is not an eminently successful sire of American breed, Itis but just to say that Longfellow has produced more first-clags horses than any other sire, although Prince Charlie would have distanced him had the latter lived to an ordinary age. Indeed, it is said that the son of Blair Atholand Eastern l’rincess never produced anything but a winner in America, but he served only a limited number of mares for two sedsons, andthen died. Although a roarer himself; he did not produce roarers, and though doubtless that disease is transmitted under certain atmospheric conditions, it is not hereditary in the states, and it is very seldom contracted. I should not hesitate to breed from an imported English roarer, and I would expect his roaring to disappear aftera short residence in the country. With a climate so well adapted to horses, and as fine pasture land as can be met with in the world, America ought to produce the best horses in the world, That she does not !s tacitly ad- mitted by the American breeders, who yearly purchase our stallions, and they are justified by results. The inferiority of American horses is, in my Opinion, attributable to three causes. Half nay, lbelieve three-fourths, of the so-callec thoroughbreds in America are half-breds, After the war, when the ‘*American stud Book’’ was compiled, the authors had to take the word of breeders for pedigree. Now, thoroughbred mure would be worth ten times as much as a half-bred, and consequently hundreds of mares were returned as thoroughbred, who were in reality h. b. The stain is manifestinthe general iack of quality observed in American-bred horses when placed alongside those im- ported into the country, or Whose paren- tage is English, Another cause of inferiority is the wretched system of training pursued in the States. Before being put tothe stud horses and mares are run Offtheir legs, an their vitality, and consequently their pro- creative powers are seriously affected. Mofeover, while our sires are put to the stud ata comparatively early age, the rule in America istorun horses as long ds any money Can be made out of them in that way, The third cause to which the inferiority of Ame n thoroughbreds is in my: view at- tributable isthe indiscriminate use of stal- lions. Almost any kind ofa stallion is good enough to covera thoroughbred mare, aad a-sS Americans use sires which would be rejected by the worst of our breeders. As regards the time test, used as a means of comparing the relative merits of English and American horses, no reliance whatever can be placed on it, owing tothe dissimilarity of conditions, Horses are not timed in the Same way, nor are they run over the same courses. English horses on the few occasions when they are timed, are timed from the fall of the starter’s flag, whliie in the States they are taken passing a post at full speed. In the States tracks are harrowed and rolled soas to enable horses to make fast time, just as cinder paths are treated inthe case Of pedestrians. Thetracks are also for the most part dead level; and, besides, grass is much slower thana made track. Never- theless, if the tlme Sheen is reported to have made in the Cesarewltch be correct, he did the two miles anda quarter several seconds faster than it has been done in America, carrying- too 14 pounds more. On the whole, I think that the superiority of English horses can be fully established, HORSES ARRIVING HERE. The Honig stringof race horses has been removed from the East St. Louis Jockey Club course tothe Fair Grounds. The St. Louis turfman has succeeded in disposing of all his bangtalis in these parts with the exception twelve, who made up the outfit was transferred. This lot the string of elght which Honig will ship from the East will makea total of twenty which are to carry his colors during the coming spring meeting atthe st. Louis Jockey Club. W. E. West’s stable of four horses are also quartered at the Fair Grounds, Amongthe lotaretwo promising- looking 2-year-olds. J. J. Grant, trainer for Theodore Winters, exercised the cracks of that stableon theble track yesterday for the first time. The horses were moved ata twominuteclip and more than realized expectations. The 2-year-old Rose Hickman especially showed up well. Cy. Mulkey’s beautiful roan gelding ‘im Murphy, a sonof Kyrle Daly,is oneof the best looking horses at the track. This ant- mal was a consistent performer on the Pacific coast last season, and will bear watching. Hedefeated suchcracks as. Ore- gon, Eclipse and Geraldine at Helena last fall with 129 pounds up in a five furlongs dash, making the distance in 1:11 flat. This was one of the most sensational performances on the turf last summer. Dave Waldo, the Kansas City turfman, fas a promising lot of 2-year-olds who were sired by Sayers. One of them, Tobe Bell, is deserving of par- ticular mention, He 1s a grand looking colt, and if appearances count for anything, ought to develop into an excellent race horse. The Messrs, Clayton and McCloskey of Moberly, Mo., who possess several likély looking fillies sired by the famous old steeplechaser Tennessee, are so well im- pressed with them that they have entered into negotiations with Mrs. Gen. Rowett of Carlinville, Ill., for the purchase of a number of colts by Tennessee, which she owns, A conference in regard tothe matter took place Sunday be- tween the parties interested. Mrs. Rowett while inthis city also engaged quarters at the Fair Grounds for her racing stable of tour horses, all of whom are 2-year-olds. The outfit will arrive shortly. While not exactly handling the stable, Mrs. Rowett is the exec- utivée head of the establishment. Her brother is the trainer of the string. Mrs. Rowett also supervises the management of an extensive breeding establishment, which is located at Carlinville. Bootbilack, who was in his day one of the most consistent performers on the Western turf circuit, has succeeded Tennes- see as the chief stallion of the stud. | NEW PACING STANDARD.

BASE BALL, — Secretary George Munson closed negotia- tions yesterday withthe Joliet Clubof the Ilinois-lowa League for their appearance in this city next Saturday and Sunday. This ag- gregation is the strongest team in the State League, he Claims; and if they play as well in this city as are credited | : last .* my * championship some interesting contests ought toensue. This series will be the last exhibition games witnessed this spring, as President Von der Ahe has decided to rest the Browns Monday soastobe in condition for the opening ot the championship season the following day. BASE BALL GOSSIP. Cannon Ball Ed Crane, one of the speediest itchers on the diathond several years ago, - been ordered to report at New York when he will be given a trial with the Giants. Third Baseman Arthur Whitney, who was released by Pittsburg, has declined to accept the notification andcilaims thathe will re- port every day according to his contract, and then bring suit for his salary. Pat Gillespie, for many years left flelder of the New York Base Ball Club, is now a day laborer in the coal mines at Carbondale, Pa., and he now counts himself lucky -when he gets in twenty days’ work in a monthata doilar a day. 1. 8S. Tullford, the sporting editor of the Pittsburg Leader, has pubilshed a pocket score book for the use of base ball reporters and official scorers, which is very complete and convenient, and contains valuable sug- gestions to scorers. Canavan, whom Louisville traded for Pfeffer, is one of the coming inflelders. He resembies Dahlen, the youngster, who put up such a stiff game last season with Anson’s aggregation. Like Dahlen Canavan can be utilized in the outfield if necessary. Both are also strong hitters. The cases of the ball players who were ar- rested at Cincinnati last Sunday for ball play- ing have been placed on the open docket of the court. This means thatthere will be no trial. Unless another crusade !s inaugurated, itis notlikely that much fuss will made over Sunday ballat that point the coming season, While the farewells were being spoken at the funeral of John F. O’Brien, a Post-office messenger wended his way through the mourners with a letter for the dead man. It was embellished with a special delivery stamp and contained a check from Chris Von der Ahe with the message, ‘‘Report at once.’’ Poor old Darby had reported to another Manager—He who controls the des- tinies of the world. The following games were pag yester- day: At st. Louls—Browns,5; Home Com- forts, 9. At Philadelphia—Philadelphia, 13; Boston; Unions, 6. At New Haven—Boston, 12; Yale, 9.

At Columbus Tuesday Cincinnati defeated the local team which will be in the Western Association the coming season by a score of 1 to 0, after eleven innings had been played. Tony Mullane pitched for Comiskey’s aggre- ation and confined the Buckeye boys to two hits. The fine fleld work of the latter, how- ever, prevented the Reds from scoring more than one run on four hits. stevens and Merritt, who were with Anson’s team last season, were points for the home team, THE RING. New York, April 7.—Charlie Johnston, one of John L. Sullivan’s backers, was much per- turbed yesterday overthe report that Wake- ly, on behalf of Sullivan, had signed the arti- cles of agreement sent out by the Olympic Cluo of New Orleans, whereby Sullivan’s backers would forfeit $2,500if he was not in the club’s ring on sept. 7next. He said he hardly thought that Wakely had signed such articles. It would be ridiculous to sign arti. cles whereby they would forfeit $2,500 if Sulli- van was not inthe ring at the time specified. He thought the side bet of $10,000 was a sufmi- client guarantee, as they lost that if John did not appear. If, however, Wakely had signed the articles they would stand. He was certain that the $2,500 was not up yet atany rate. He thought there was plenty of time bstween how and September to sign club articies, as some other club inthe meantime might offer more than $25,000 for the fight. JOHNSTON WILL ACCEPT.

How Guests Escaped From a Fire at the Richelieu Hotel. NOT MUCH DAMAGE, BUT LOTS OF EX- CITEMENT CAUSED BY THE BLAZE. The Fire Discovered by Private Watchman O’Brien and the Guests at Once Given Warning of Their Danger—Some of the Ladies Faint—-One Woman With Pres- ence of Mind. At4o’clock this morning, as Night Watch- man O’Brien of the Richelieu Hotel, Wash- ington avenue, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets, startea on his rounds to wake up those employes who slept in the hotel, he discovered, as he glanced out of a third-story window, flames bursting from under the roof at the northern side of the southwest wing of the building. That por- tion of the hotel structure is a separate wing, connecting with the Washington ave- nue bullding only atits eastern end, with a court running east and west between the two wings. It fronts on St. Charles street, and opens alsoon Fourteenth street, and in the days whenthe Washington avenue side was called the Windsor, and later the Bristol, was known as the St. Charles flats, It is four stories in height, and the fire was just above the topmost floor, and rapidly making its way downward. GIVING THE ALARM. As soon as Night Watchman O’Brien spied the flames he realized that a most dangerous fire, with possibilities of a great tragedy, threatened the hotel. Last night there were ninety guests registered at the Richelieu, and among that number were thirty-five ladies and several children. There were also about thirty employes of the hotel, many of whom were females, who slept there, The hour at which the fire occurred made a panic almost Inevitable, as every guest and employe would have to be suddenly awakened without warning or preparation. Night: Watchman O’Brien acted promptly and, according to all stories told, with most commendable coolness. Mr. J. W. Hall, the proprietor of the Richelieu, was absent in Springfield, Mo., where he also runs a hotel, and O’Brien wert first tothe room .of Chief Clerk J. D. Dean, who, with bis wife, occu- pied rooms on the second floor of the burning wing. Mr. Dean was awakened by Night Watchman O’Brien, and quietly told of the fireandofthe danger. then O’Brien hur- ried down stairs and told Night Clerk O’Shea, after which he ran to the corner fire-alarm box on Thirteenth street and turned In an alarm. Retnrning to the hotel, he awoke Steward Devens, andthe four men named, directed by the cool night watchman, began the critical work of arousing the Richelieu guests and employes and getting them safely down stairsand outof danger, without preci pitating a possibly fatal panic. ‘There are 187 rooms in the Richelieu’s four floors, and the night watchman began work on the top floor, nearest the fames. Running from door to door he knocked loudly at each, calling out as he did so: ‘‘Getup, the hotel’son fire! ‘There’s no danger, but get down stairs as quick as you can!’’ Ina moment the top floorof the Richelieu was ina tumult of- excitement. Guests were springing from thelr beds ‘withthe sudden- ness of Jacks-in-the-box, doors were being flung open, and women in night robes, chil- dren ditto and men almost as scantily clad, were thronging the corridors. They found Night Watchman O’Brien awaiting them with assurances that the stairways were open and all that they had to do was to hurry down to the ground floor. The guests on the floors beneath were be- ing assured with the same coolness and pre- cautions against panic, the directions to all being to congregate in the large dining-hail of the Richelieu fronting on Washington av- enue. But despite all precautions, the first few moments following the alarm of fire were marked by wild scenes, the shrieks of women and children, the shoutsof men and the blows of the flremen’s axes on the roof overhead, the department having reached the spot almost before the first est was awakened. The roof of the burning building was gained without difficulty from the Four- teenth street side, and one line of hose was also run through the hotel to the fourth floor to which the fire had spread, gaining in breadth as it went untill it: penetrated eight of the top floor rooms, burning through the celling. It was in the midst of this de- cidediy threatening scene that the work of rescuing the Richelieu guests bad to be car- ried on. HOW THEY ESCAPED. In one of the rooms reached by the flames Miss Annie Bender, employed at the Genelli photograph gallery, whois a boarder at the Richelieu, was sleeping soundly. She waked with Night Watchman v’Brien’s thundering knock resounding at her door, with the nolse of the fire department at work overhead, and with the flames filling the windows with its glare. Under such surroundings Miss Bender promptly screamed, sprang out of bed, and then as promptly fainted. She re- covered consciousness ina few moments and had strength enough toleave her room and gain the hallway, when fright again over- came her and she hadtobe carried down Stairs toa place of safety. In the next room to Miss Bender slept the young Jady cashier of the Richeligu. For some time past this young apy had fot been sleepihg well, and last night about 9 o’clock she took a long walkto Lafayette Park and back to tire herselfsothat she would sleep soundly. The walk had its desired effect,and Night Watchman O’Brien made the greatest effort of his life awaking her. When she did at last realize what was up, ‘the smoke was ouring in through her windows and ail the noise of Bedlam seemed to have been turned loose outside. With one wild shriek the young lady cashier was out of bed, and then, in her night dressand with bare feet, she sped out into the corridors and down the four flights of stairs to the dining- room, where she remained, without daring to agai for more clothing until the fire was out, A SEDALIA LAD¥’S COOLNESS. The coolest lady guest in the house was Miss De Witt of Sedalia, who occupied a room on the third floor. Miss De Witt was awak- ened bythe hubbub surrounding her room, anda glance out of her window showed her where the fire was. With the greatest de- liberation she dressed, and then packed her trunk. By some means she dragged it un- aided out into the hallway and down the stairs to the second floor. When Chief Clerk Dean found her Miss De Witt was standing with her trunk resting On the edge of the stairs leading to the first floor. ‘*Let me pelp poe get your trunk down stairs, Miss De Witt,’’ said Mr. Dean, ‘*‘No, thank you,’’ replied the resourceful Sedalia lady, ‘’it’s all right now. ’’ And with a shove from her foot she coolly sent the trunk on a toboggan slide down the stairs, and then joined the excited gathering of lady guests in the Richelieu dining hall, On the third floor also, directly under the fire, Mr. J, C. Yarnell of the Yarnell Manu- facturing Co. had rodms with his wife and two children. The latter became padnic- stricken and were se ted from Mr. Yar- neil fora time, ca hat gentleman to makea des te, ~~" Agonized search for them throught» #(.@rs and down stair- ways, but the ally found 1n safety, and taken tot & place appointed for all the hotel gus | TH.« DAMAGE DONE.

eS a Pe eet TR ET MELD oo Te - Kee ‘ Si, Pouis Post-Dispatch, Thursday, Bpril 7, 1892 QUIT WORK AGAIN. The Rivermen Renew ‘Their Strike This Morning. CAPT. MASON’S REFUSAL TO EMPLOY A LEADER THE CAUSE. The Anchor Line President Said Tom Crawford Had Caused Them Too Much Trouble, and He Would Not Give Him Work — Lively Scenes on the Levee This Morning. The white-winged dove of peace, which made its appearance onthe Levee yesterday when the boat-owners and roustabouts sup- posedly settled the strike, took sudden flight this morning and the hostilities were re- newed. Yesterday the union roustabouts and longshoremen went to work for the Anchor Line company under an, agreement, and asthe result of the combined labor of about 150 men, the City of New Orleans pulled away last night loaded tothe guards. This morning at 7 o’clock 100 men reported for duty to load the City of Providence, an Anchor Line boat, at the footof Ohestnut street. All of them were engaged regardless of their connection with unions. CRAWFORD REFUSED WORK. Tom Crawford, a leaderinthe strike anda recognized boss among the Levee negroes, was among the men, and when he asked for his time-ticket the mate told him he was not wanted. He had taken a tooactive part in the strike and had caused a good deal of trouble, it wasclaimed. Crawford has been working on the river about twenty -years and is one of the best-known negroes on the big stream. When athome in St. Louis unen- gaged by boat owners he makes his living contracting to load and unload boats for the owners, employing his own men. In this way he became recognized as an employer and was considered by the ‘‘rousters’’ as their friend. When it was decided to demand higher wages Crawford was very active in organizing the union and driving new mem- bers intoit. He was appointed on the Ex- ecutive Committee, and éince the strike be- gan eight daysagohe and President George Norton of the Longshoremen’s Union, with several other members of the committee, called on Capt. Masonevery day to make a settlement. He was with the committee yesterday when a compromise was effected with Capt. Mason. It was agreed then that the Anchor Line should pay longshoremen 25 cents an hour, roustabouts $35 a month and board, and engineers from $90 to$i125a month, It was understood that the Anchor Line officers coula employ whom they chose. The union was not to be considered. Under this ar- rangement the strikers considered they had won a victory in securing advanced pay, while the Anchor Line officers were equally satisfied that the victory was theirs when they had signed no agreement, could employ any one and agreed to pay a price for labor they had often paid before and even less. Capt. Mason was in good spirits yesterday and declared the strike settled. Mr. Pearl, the partner of President Norton of the Roust- abouts’ Union, also said the strike had drawn toaclose for the present, atleast. Theap- pearance of the Levee at the noon hour yes- terday proved the truth of their statements. Inthe morning less than two hundred men were at work, while at least one thousand toilers were hustling in and outof the great wharf boats during the evening. THE STRIKE RENEWED. This morning the men went to work as usual, but when it was learned that the mate refused to hire Tom Crawford the word was pessed to ‘‘walk up the hill.’’ Fifty of the 100 men then at work puton their coats and left the wharfboat. They formed on the Levee and in a bedy walked to Union Hallon Tenth street and Christy avenue, where they were soon joined by about one hundred and fifty more ‘‘recruits’’.from the Levee. They held a meeting and discussed the situation, and at noon to-day they de- cided to hold out until the Anchor Line company agreed to employ Tom Crawford. THE PRESENT @TUATION. A steamboatman said tis morning: ‘‘This break on the part of the strikers will prove the death of the Rousters’ and Longshore- men’s Union. When the men were holding out for better pay they had some ground to stand on, but When they continue the strike for some cause not affect- ing the union nor the pay, they will be sure tolose. Crawford is popular with a cer- tain class of negroes on the Levee, to whom he has given employment, but there is a larger Class whom he never employed and who are not friendly to him and when they can get the wages they ask they will not re- main idle and hungry for the sake of securing Crawford a job.’’ This view was not shared by some leaders of the strikers who were seen. They claimed that all the men felt friendly toward Craw- ford, particularly after the manner in which he had worked for their interests in the strike and that all the men would hold out until work was given him. They spoke confidently of gaining their point, and held thatit wasthrough his efforts in behalf of the men Crawford incurred the enmity of the steamboat companies and it was the duty of the strikers to stick by him now. A LIVELY TIME. The sight on the levee forthree hours this morning was very remindful of old times when the river traffic was at its height. Merchants on learning that the strike had been settled sent their goods tothe wharff- boats this morning. They had delayed their shipments several days on account of the strike and theeffect of the delay was very apparent this morning. For two Dilocks along the levee from Market to Pine street and down the slope to the water’s edge every foot of grouud was takenup by the wagons, draysand carts. They came from all quarters andeach driver exerted all his powers to push his way to the narrow gang lank atthe foot of Chestnut street. They owled, cursed and yelled atthe top of their lungsand but for the presenceof several olicemen some of them would have fought. ‘fagon tongues pushed into the contents of the wagons in front of them and along the line and the streams of hominy, oats, corn, flour, cornmeal and cement on the slope showed how hot the batle for positions waged. Rousters. carried freight direct from the wagons tothe holdin the endeavor toclear the crush but the carts still poured in from all sides and the drivers kept up the fight. Several hundred dollars damage was doneito freight and wagons in the crush before the tide was stopped. The freight was put on the City of Providence which will leave to-night with one of the heaviest loads it has carried for some time. 5,000 Confirmation Suits, $3.50 to $15.

GLOBE, 703 to 713 Franklin ay. Union Pacific Election. New York, April 7.—The books of the Union Pacific Railroad annual election for April 27 were closed yesterday and forthwith a report was current that Sidney Dillon will retire from the Presidency, and that» Martin Hughitt, now head of the Chicago & North- western, will succeed him. It was also in- timated thatin the reorganization of the directorate of the Union Pacific Gould repre. sentatives, including the little wizard him- self, will be pre e: « pete while men who belong tothe Vanderbilt army of railroad leuten- ants will take their places. Gould, it is said, will devote bis energies to the rejuvenation of his Missouri Pacific system. If, as is re- ported, Hughitt and his group of co-workers are to manage the Union Pacific it means that at last the Vanderbilt dream of a trans- continental system has been realized.

Vane Milbank, Friend of Hallett Alsop Bor- rocwe. **I very much dislike to speak of my duels. They really are a vere disagreeable subject to me. Why don’t you ask me ‘more about my family and domestic life and other matters? Ilive abroad most of the time, but am in Paris almost invariably during the season. Soon after my marriage I bought a house in Paris, and that I consider in one sense my headquarters, as Mrs. Milbank and myself occupy it a number of months each year. I am, how- ever, a Magistrate for the North Riding of York, and also a Deputy Lieutenant of the county. The Milbanks have kept their pack of hounds at the country seat of Thorp Penow since the year 1748. The shooting on the Yorkshire estates is simply magnificent. It was only a few years ago that the famous record of 1,300 brace of grouse killed in one day was made on Wemmergill Moors. The guns were Sir Frederick himself, the Marquis of Abergavenny, Lord Rivers, Lord Kensing- ton, Mr. Powlett Vane Millbank and my- self,’’ Then the conversation turned upon the duels again. ‘*l am very unwilling to talk upon the sub- ject of my duels,’’ began Mr. Millbank, ‘‘and you must pardon me for it. I very deeply regret that three or four of them have fe- sulted fatally, I-was dragged into almost all of them against my will. I have fought duels in Russia, Germany and France, and, as I have already said, I regret that only too many of them have resulted fatally.’’ **It has been reported that once upon the Russian frontier you successively fought and Killed the husband, brotherand father of a lady. Is that true?’’ was asked. ‘*Practically so; but thereis a slight mis- take. I did not meet the lady’s father at all, but instead, her husband, brother and brother-in-law. **I’ve been unfortunate inthe sense that I have been draggeg intoso many affairs with which I should have had no connection and which I woald have much rather avoided could I have done so honorably. Three times in succession I have risked my life to save the honor of women and luckily I came out unscathed. ‘*For instance, here isa case. Iwasina certain German city and escorted home from aballa ladyin whose houseI wasa guest. She was an extremely hysterical woman— and—and she was not what could be termed apretty woman. When we arrived atthe house she went to her apartments, and soon after sent word she wished to see me. In re.- sponseI wentto whatI supposed was her boudoir, but found ittobe her bed-room, much tomy surprise. She lockedthe door and at once went into hysterics. ‘*Of course there was trouble. I was inno- cent, for it might have been a lackey as well asI, butI said promptly that I forced my way to her room, and of course, had an af- fairupon my hands. That is only an ex- ample of how I have been forced into duels.’’ *‘*What weapons have you fought with?’’ **Oh, with all kinds of weapons, but mostly with swords and pistols.’’ ‘*Yon have escaped, luckily, but you must have some wounds.’’ ‘*Yes, indeed. Ihave a pistol ballin my body, another in my thigh, a sword thrust in my arm, another here in my hand, and so on, yet I have never been killed.’’ ROBERT BARNES’ WILL. Explanation ofa Misunderstanding About Some of the Bequests. A rumor has been circulated that the will made by the late Robert A. Barnes left his affairs ina somewhat complicated state. The matters thought to have beenin a mixed con- dition were in relation tothe bequests of St. Louis Railroad Co, stock, which stock com- posed a large asset of the estate. Mr. Barnes in his will distributed this stock among dif- ferent legatees. Since the last codicil to the will has been made Mr. Barnes sold the 8t. Louis Raltlroad Co. stock. The idea became prevalent thatthe money received for the stock had been absorbed in other leg- acies, and that there wereno assets with which to satisfy the legatees who were pro- vided for in Sst. Louls Railroad Co. stock. This impression was caused by the clause in the will which provided that all the cash on hand at the time ofthe testator’s death should go to the Barnes Hospital. This clause, however, is subject to the legal construction, whic provides that all specific legacies must be paid before the general legacies are paid, to which latter class the legacy re- ferring tothecash on hand belongs. As Mr. Barnes was contemplating selling his St. Louis Rallroad Co. stock at the time he made the last codicil, he inserted the provision that should he sell the stock, the legatees to whom the stock was willed should be paid at the rate of $60 per share. These legatees will therefore be paid out of the cash on hand of which there is said to be an ample amount to cover them. Shirt Sale at the Globe. Regular $1.25, soft-bosom, neglige shirts, 75c.

Ritteo and Albert Daly, aged respectively 12,10 and 6 years, created considerable excitement about the Four Courts last evening. Thé youngsters had ascended the jail roof to catch pigeons when they were seen by a citl- zen, who excitedly informed the police that several prisoners were escaping by the roof. A number of officers and detectives hurried to the roofand caught the boys scampering after the pigeons. The youngsters were taken before Chief Harrigan and after a se- vere lecture sent home. Had the children been seen by the guards they might have been shot under the bellef that they were es- caping prisoners.

I., April 7.—Further experi- ments were made Tuesday with the navy smokeless powder at the naval ordance pror- ing ground, Indian Head. The powder used in the trialwas made expressly forthe six inch navy guns. In Tuesday’s firing a charge of twenty-one pounds of the smokeless powder gave a projectile weighing 100 pounds aveiocity of 2,810 feet per second. The re- sult isconsidered better than any obtained with the French powder, the best of the for. eign smokeless powders, so far as published reports indicate.

President Bartholdt ani Mr. Brady Are Both in Favyor of Starting a Competi- tion—Directors Waite and O’Connell Hint at Dark Schemes—An Explana- tion of What Is Proposed. The School Board Committee, composed of the chairmen of the various committees, which is at work'on the revision of the rules, adopted last night an amendment to the text- book rule, which will in all probability be sanctioned by the board. Then the fun will commence anda book war inaugurated. The supporters of the new rule, strange to say, While adopting a rule making it possible to change the books at any time, argue that they do not intend to make any changes. Those opposed to tne new rule hint darkly at jobs and combines and suggest the advent of schemes and plots innumerable. Fourteen years ago two rules were adopted in the School Board under the head of **‘Course of Study.’’ Oneof these was rule 68, which providei that changes in text- books could only be made in March, April or May, to take “effect only at the beginning of the next scholastic year. Rule 69 provided that these changes should be made onthe basis of an even exchange for all text books in the hands of the pupils and those on hand inthe Supply Department, so that no expense would be incurred by either the pupils or the School Board. Under these tworuvles the American Book Co. has been supplying the public schools with books, the board selling the books to the chil- dren in all grades above the fourth at practically cost price. Under the fourth grade the books are free. Last night these rules were amended and now provide as follows: Rule 68. ‘‘Changes in text books shail only be ¢ made at a regular meeting in pursuance ofa resolution Imtroduced at the preceeding regular meeting of the boardand shall only take effect at the commencement of the en- suing scholastic year, provided that no changes shall be made in the months of June, July and August.’’ CAN CHANGE AT ANY TIME. This gives the board a chance to make changes at any time duringthe year except the three months menttoned,while under the old rule they could only make the changes in March, Aprilor May. This leaves the fleld open for school book fighting from the open- | ing of the school year until the close of it. Rule 69, the most important and. the one upon which the whole situation hinges, was amended to read as follows: ‘*Changes in text-books shall only be made on consultation with the Superintendent, and for district schools only, on the basis of an exchange price for all books in the bands of the pupils andan even exchange for those on hand in the supply department.’’ The Uifference between the old rule and the new one isthis: Where before the children’s books were exchanged, book for book, at no expense to the children, under the new rule they are swapped at an ‘‘exchange price,’’ which is about one-half or one-third the original cost. PRESIDENT BARTHOLDT’S VIEWS. These amended rules have the support of some of the most prominent members of the board, notably President Bartholdt, Mr. Mc- Clain and Mr. Brockman. ae: Bartholdt was seen this morning and said: ‘*lam in favor of the amendments for sev- eralreasons. Wecan now make changes if we want to, as our hands are no longer tied. Under the old rule it was impossible to get any com petition because no new concern would come in and exchange evenly for all the text books in the hands of the pupils, and evenif thes did they could only doitata high or even pro- hibitory price. Now withthe proper compe- tition we can get books fully 25 per cent cheaper than we did before, and the change being made at the beginning of the scholastic year, Jjustas the pupils are changing from one grade of books to another, and would have tobuy a new book anyhow, the cost would not be hravy, especially as a lower price would obtain asa result of the compe- tition. , **The adoption of these rules do not imply that a change will be made, we only want to be able to do so. Ihave examined all the text books in use and findthem excellent so no change is needed. There has been a great deal said about this change and I have been warned that we were precipitating a great book war. Book agents have beeninto see me and argues forthe rule. I told them that if they wanted the rule passed the best thing they could do would be to let the members alone. Then I have been informedthatif I voted for the amendments the book trust would be down upon me like an avalanche and remove me from the presidency. Ihave heard in facta hundred stories about what those two little rules willdo. However, I see no cause for any. uneasiness. We are not at the mercy of th okagents and fully equal to the task of doing the rightthing in the matter.’’ Mr. Frederick N. yvudson, who was a mem- ber of the board when the old rules were adopted and was an active supporter of them. was seen this morning and said: **I] do not recall the date of the adoption of the rule and am not sure that it was adopted during my time of service from 1878 to 1882, butl remember the discussions concerning the matter. The object of the rule as I re- member was to relieve the parents of any ex- ense connected with book changes by forc- ng the publishers who secured a valuable contract, which would probably continue for anumber of years, to make the exchange without charge. Furthermore book wars were found by experience to be extremely demoralizing to say the least.’’ THEY FEAR TROUBLE. Arrayed on the side of the opposition, among others, are Directors O’Connell and Waite, both of whomthink that no end or trouble is being stirred up. Director Waite says: ‘‘Thenewrule does this; it makes the pupils pay for books when achargeis made, and thatin itselfis suf- ficlenttocondemntherule. The whole and sole purpose in the board’s handling the text books is to get. them for the pupils at the cheapest possible price and, if possible, free. Of course it may save the School Board $10,000 a year by the reduction in price to competition. This would the tax-payers that amount, etc., but it is a sort of long-range benefit while on the other hand the pupils would have to pay their 25 or 60 cents for the new book when the change was made, and throw away the old one as it would be nouseto the next generation; that should’ be avoided. Why this is being done is another point. The gentlemen favoring it say they do not intend to make any changes. Yet they let down the bars and here we haveaswarm of book men about our ears already. Yet no changes are to be made. Competition is to be established and no changes to be made. It strikes meas rather odd to say the least.’’ BRADY FAVORS IT. Director John Brady, the free-book cham- pion, sees inthe new rules only one thing, a prospect of a reduction in price, sohe favors it. ‘*Wecan get the books cheaper by 25 per cent,’’ says Mr. Brady, ‘‘and we can make the changes when the scholars are going from one book to another, sothat it won’t cost them much.’’ The book agents, while they are working hard, are very quiet about it and with sub- lime faith in their persuasive efforts, believe that cha ere will be made. This board may be naan sterner stuffthan preceding ones and be equal toresisting the temptation of getting better books at cheaper prices, but it 18 Very doubtful.

THE PEPPER-THROWER ESCAPES. Left Alone atthe City Hospital, He Takes His Departure, The police were notified late last night that John Ryan had escaped from the City Hospital and Operator McCormick was at once instructed to telephohea full descrip- tion of the man to all the police stations in the city. The, Instructions of Acting Chief Reedy were carried out and every effort made tocatch the runaway, but without success. Ryan is the man who threwa handful of black pepper in Police Officer Heath's eyes on last Saturday night. The officer had ar- rested bim for stealing several small articles from the grocery store on Seventh and Market’ streets, and was calling a patrol wagon, when Ryan threw the pepper into his eyes and ran. The officer fired four shots at him, but missed him. He wascaught, however, by some cit- izens, and when the wagon arrived he was put into itanddriven off. He was still ugly and abusive in the wagon and was clubbed into submission, After his wounds were sewed and plastered up at the City Dispen- sary he was locked up at the Four Courts,and yesterday afternoon, on the recommendation of Dr. Priest, he was removed to the City Hospital. He was delirious, and the doctor was afraid he might die if not properly at- tended to. Dr. Marks, Superintendent of the City Hospital, reports that upon being received at the hospital he was placed in a cellinthe ward for prisoners. He was still delirious and suffering from four bad wounds in the head. Later in the afternoon he was ex- hibited to the students of the St. Louis Med- ical College under Dr. Mudd. The doctor reported his temperature over one hundred and his pulse at sixty-nine, and recommended that he be taken from the cell and placed in a regular ward, which was. done. He still seemed to be out of his head. He would stare for a long time at one object and when spoken to would not answer. Dr. Marks thought he might be shamming and told Dr. Mudd so, but the latter was of the opinion that it was a genuine case of mental trouble. While the nurse’s back was turned fora few minutes between 1 and-2 o’clock this morning, Ryan slipped out of bed and stolea jacket and pair of pants hanging near and before the nurse was aware ofit he was out ofthe room. The nurse took after him, but Rran got®ut of the hospital and made his escape entirely. His head had been shaved on account of his wounds’ ang the chances are that he will be recaptured. The question now is whether he was delirious or out of his head atany time. The police think that he was plaving ’possum and fooled not only Dr. Priest, but also Dr. Mudd an@d most of the doctors at the Citv Hospital. Knocked Down and Kicked. At 7:30 o’clock last night James MclIlvaney and Martin Hines got into a quarrel at Jeffer- son avenue and Market street over some trifling matter when Hines knocked Mcll- vaney down and kicked him on the right ear. He was removed to Dr. Wait’s office at the corner of Jefferson and Clarkavenues, where the doctor dressed the wound and pronounced it serious but not necessarily dangerous, A Fortune Reclaimed.
