SCRANTON, Pa., April 18.—The press and corning mills of the Moosic Powder Co. were blown up about 11 o’clock this morning, kin- ing five men and injuring twenty others, two of whom will die. The dead are: | EDWARD VANDERBURGH. JOHN GIBBONS. DANIEL R. PARRY. ADAM COLBAUGH. ALLEN SCHNALE. The two men whose injuries will certainly result in their death are: ° GEORGE ELLIS. JOHN GREEN. The injured were carried into nearest houses and cared for by physicians. So far it has been impossible to secure a list of the names. The two magazines which exploded were situated close together, and when, without an instant’s warning they shot up intothe air, the detonation was awful. To add to the calamity the structures in the company’s yards near the magazines caught fire, ann it was with great difficulty that all the property of Moosic corporation was saved from destruction. Every building within a radius of a mile of the works felt the force of the terrible shock, and those nearest the mills rocked as if they were toy houses in a gale of wind. Not.a window light was left inany ofthe buildings within a quarter of a mile of the scene of the explosion, and the roofs of many of them were partially ripped from their sup- ports. Some of the timbers of the magazines were hurled to a great distance, and no two pieces were found joined together, the posts of the buildings being torn to small frag- ments. The bodies of the men killed were almost unrecognizable, the torce of the explosion having so contorted and burned their feat- ures. Some ofthe victims were frightfully mangled, the limbs being torn from the trunks and found at some distance from each other. The mills have been in operation for sev- eral-years, and great care has always been taken Dy the mianagement to guard against accident. Howthe explosion occurred will probably never be known. The quantity of powder stored in the mills cannot now be n> pen maa but it is known that it was many The sound of the explosion was p heard three miles away. Tne loss to the Moosic Company will probably not reach over $100,000 PERISHED IN THE DESERT. PHENIX, Ariz., Aprii13.—Two ofa party of three prospectors have returned from a trip on the Colorado desert and report the death from thirst of their companion named Mc- Bride. The party separated in search of water and later the two survivors came upon | & message left on a stone cairn which leaves no doubt that McBride’s bones are bleaching onthe desert. The others suffered terribly from exposure. MOTHER AND CHILD DROWNED. SAGINAW, Mich., April 13.—Last night the bodies of Mrs. Hattie Ormond and her nine months old son were found ina cistern at the family residence. It is presumed that the drowning was accidental. Mrs. Ormond was only 18 years old. IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE. Meeting to Consider the Establishment of New Branches. NEw YORK, April 13.—The original Municipal Council of the Irish National League met at Ledwit’s Hall last night and appointed a com. mittee to organize new branches of the league and consider the advisability of get- ting up a mass meeting to declare for an independent party in Ireland.

CoLUMBUS, Miss., April 13,—This morning the water was at a standstill and by 9 o’clock had begun to subside. If no second deluge of rain comes within the next two days the worst will be over. As reports arrive slowly there can be nothing like a_ close estimate of the number of lives lost, but in this district it can be set down at overa hundred, It is thought thatasthe water gets back into its channel many bodies will be found in the bot- tom lands of the Tombigbee, All sorts of craft are being used to explore the overflowed Jandg,and not one of them return without its burden of dead, As far as the eye can reach for seventy miles is one waste of water, with a drift of trees scores of houses, the bodies of men, women and children floating about on the top of the water. Hundreds of homes, miles of fences, and thousands of horses, mules and cattle destroyed, with all the corn and provisions of last fall. Over 1,200 people are homeless, Two-thirds of them half-starved, half-clad negro renters, who lived in the swamps. The flood was caused by the sud- den rising of sixteen rivers which form a metwork over North Mississippi. For four days. the water spread, destroying life and property in its wake. Before the disaster was realized another day passed and no help could be obtained. Rafts, small boats and canoes were built by the scores and stocked with provisions. Daring rescuers started out to carry aid or rescue the dead, Relief societies have been organized in the North Mississippi towns and contributions are being sent in from every part of the United States. For a distance of twenty miles up and down the Tombigbee and Buttahatchie, a trib- utary, the damage to property of every character is enormous, It is impossible to even approximate it, as the greater portion ofthe land had been broken and much of it planted, consequently until the water runs off the land, owners cannot say how much Gamage the fields under cultivation have sustained. The Georgia Pacific Road has a track clear to Birmingham, but notrain has gone West since last Thursday. The track on this end is fearfully damaged. It is thought three miles of it, with road bed, has been washed away. The road is not attempting to get their track west clear, but has combined theirforce with that of the Mobile & Ohio, thereby hoping to geta way to West Point in afew daysy After this they will turn atten- tion to their own road. Three of their bridges are known to be down. Further than this there is no report. There have been about 500 refugees in Co- lumbus for three days, who flock here for something to eat. Charitable citizens pro- vided them with food and the municipality turned over the City Hallfor sleeping quar- ters, Ladies furnished clothing to 300 half- clad women and children, ali colored. The menare at work on the railroads. Seven houses were washed away almost within the corporate limits, entailing considerable loss, ALARMING REPORTS AT NASHVILLE. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 13.—Specials from the fiood district. say that the terror of the flood continues aud it is impossible to get anything from the stricken districts, except from a boatman or raftsman who occasion- ally come in, bringing the dead with them. Eighty-seven bodies have been recovered and as many more are missing. The Coosa River is 11 feet above low water. The Tom- bigbee rise is unprecedented and cannot be reckoned. The water is spreading and the small streams are beginning to boom. The Tennessee River has started torise with alarming rapidy and in West Tennessee it comes within three feet of the levees. If they break it will render hundreds homeless and do as much damageas in Mississippi. ‘No trains have begun to run on the Alabama Southern nor on the Georgia Pacific west of Columbus, Miss. Beyond Columbus the water is almost two feet above the track on an average, and the flood looks trackless in extent. Corn, potatoes, and even cotton are under water and entirely drowned, While the sea contin- uss Columbus and the towns beyond are stricken and shut off from the world. Panic may ensues, The flood has spread into Sumter, Greene and Pickens Counties, in Alabama, and destroyed thousands of dollars worth of property and cattie there. It is estimated that forty negro renters have perished in the counties. The Tombigbee is rising an inch an as is the Coosa. The water ushed farther inland hour by hour ht will have covered a strip thirty e. Contributions are being raised in North Mississippi and Alabama for the sufferers. The flood bids fair to eclipse the overfiow of the Mississippi three years ago. Oarpenters are building small boats by the dozen in case of emergency, CONGRESS TAKING ACTION, WasuiInctTon, D. ©C., April 13.—The House Committes on Appropriations to-day listened an appeal by § Repre- ‘ gentative Allen of Mississippi in favor of the resolution asking for an immediate appropriation of $50,000 to aleviate the condition of the flood sufferers in Mississippi and Alabama. Mr. Allen urged that the committee take tion at once, as the i along the river _ were -in a_ térrible condition, and asked relief from the Government. Tel- e g received by Mr. Allien from Colum. bus, Miss., state that over 100 per- sons have been drowned in one county, and that already sixty bodies have been recovered from the waters and eer others can be seen floatingon the sur- ace. His people, he stated to the commit- tee, who had suffered, were probably poorer in actual money than 4 pos mn the nd whi a homes and to le. or- HIGH WATER AT DEMOPOLIS.

He took me by the wrist and I went down with him to the din- ing-room and showed him the _ side- boards and things and he opened them and run his hand intothem, but didn’t find anything. He kept hold of my wrist for a while, but finally let go, and I ran upstairs as fast as I coulda and got into my room and locked the door and began to yell.’’ Mamie says that when the man came into herroom he had a large biack cloth In his hand and laid it on the floor in front of the bed. After thetwo had left the room, he remembered that he had left the cloth there and went back for it, Keeping close hold of herarmin one hand and the revolver in the other, Neither she nor Mr. Black has any idea what use he intended to make of that cloth unless he intended to chloroform or gag or bind someone with it. DESCRIPTION OF THE MEN. Mamie, whois a girl of about 17, gives a meager description of the man, beyond the fact that he had dark hairand eyes, but she says she would know him anywhere for months. Mr, Block says the men were both about 6 feet, 7 or 8 inches high, but he has not much ideaof their appearance otherwise, as when the man shot at him he was blinded by the flash, and he got a good look only of the backs of the two as they stood talking under the window. They wore rough clothes and slouch hats. He could then have killed them both, had he hada revolver, but he presumes that the knowledge that he had no weapons made them daring. He is firmly impressed with the idea that the man who got intothe house was avery bad manorhe wouldn’t have shot at him so e tagrag ig and with such dangerous aim, taking the chance he did of Mr. Block’s also being armed. The deliberation with which he rummaged in the sideboard and elsewhere is also proof of hardihood in such business. Block thinks they were at least twenty minutes onthe premises from first to last. Mrs. Block demeaned herself as bravely as a woman could be expected to under the circumstances, When Mr. Block was at*the window crying for help, she stood by his side holding the lamp, until the second pistol shot dictated a retreat. When the neighbors came there was a com- paring of notes as to the event, and as every one concerned was more or less rattled, ect iy was Lo more sleép in the Biock house- © .

Murder in First Degree, J. W. Ruby, the mulatto who stabbed and killed Fred Nelson, a colored roustabout, on the steamer Crystal City April 7, was trans- ferred from the First Distr ct Police Station to the jail this afternoon on a charge of mur- der in the frst degree.

The town of Kirkwood and the little village of Webster Groves were thrown intoa fever of excitement yesterday afternoon by the news of the sudden death of Miss Mary Willis Anderson of the latter place under circum- stances indicating suicide. A story of unre- quited love accounting forthe desperate act also became currenf, and added to the sensa- tional atmosphere surrounding the young girl’s sad death, Miss Anderson was one of the belles of Webster Groves, a daughter of Mr. F. M.. Ander- son, who is a salesman for the Hamilton. Brown Shoe Co. of this city, and was 19 years of age. Her death yesterday followed closely upon what appears to have been the unhappy termination of a love affair. It is stated that during a visit to Livingston, Ala., some months ago she met and fell in love with a New Orleans man, who apparently reciprocated her affection. After Miss Anderson returned home they corres- ponded with each other, but recently the New Orleans man ceased writing. The _ girl brooded over this until her father wrote to the man in regard to the matter. Yesterday morning a reply was received to that letter, and this Mr. Anderson showed to his daugh- ter. The poor young lady at once retired to her room, where it is supposed she first wrote to the man whom sife so hopelessly loved, and then set about carrying out the desper- ate plan of self-destruction that had sug- gested itself to her. . At 8 o’clock in the gto | Miss Anderson left her home to go, it was thought, to givea music lesson to the daughter o Mr. . R, Smith, on Lockwood avenue. In reality, however, she went to Kirkwood onthe train, bought there some carbolic acid or other poison, andthen returned home. She pro- ceeded at once to her room, and about Il o’clock was found by the servant girl lying face downward on her bed dead. It is supposed that she drank undiluted car- bolic acid, as nful of which was found ina glass atthe side of the bed, Dr. Marshall Baker, who was called in, at once examined the girl’s throat, however, and fatied to find that it had been biistered by the acid, norcould he detect any smell of car- bolic acid about her. No other traces of drugs or poisons of any kind were found. Mr. An- derson, the father, was at once summoned from St. Louls. Both parents were of course greatly shocked and prostrated, and would not discuss the awful affair more than was absolutely necessary. Cqunty Coroner Caster held an inquest on Miss Anderson’s body yesterday afternpon, at which Mrs. (Anderson testified that if her daughter had comunitted suicide, it was ow- ing to uwuhrequited love, as she was de- spondent fon account of not hearing from one she loved. Druggist L. D. Dougias of Kirk- wood testified that Miss Anderson had been so despondent of late that her mother had notined him not tosell her any poison, Last Saturda Miss: Anderson had come to his place and tried to buy some lauda- re but he refused to sell it to her, and had told Miss Anderson of her mother’s warn. ing. The young lady’s eyesthen filled wi tears, and she asked Druggist Douglas if he could not sellit to herlegally against her stepmother’s inreceere ned again refaised, the young store and had not since returned, Itis that yesterday she took the 7:40 © Kirkwooa, pure poison there and turned to Webster Groves on-the same at 8:10.

Sometime during last night John Bender, 61. years old, committed suicide by shooting himself in the right temple with a 44-calibre British bulidog revolver in his garret room at 1014 Park avenue. On a sheet of letter paper found on the table this morning was written his will in German. The translation is as follows: I will everything in this room to. my friend, Peter Schoy. I want this looked upon as py last will. His name was signed and below he placed this postscript: Iamtired of this world andany one who feels kindly toward me will pray for my soul. Bender rented the room from Phillip Schneider, and ate his mealsat the house of Peter Schoy, 1226 “—e avenue. Scho brought a cup oO coffee to Bender’s room this morning and saw his dead body lying flat on its ck in the bed with a bullet holein his head. The revolver was grasped in his right hand with one chamber empty. Bender was a carpenter by trade, but had not followed the pusiness for years. His last occupation was in the capacity of a , private watchman about Autumn ; street and Morrison avenue. He was observation a widower and had no _ children.

THE INVADING REGULATORS sUR- ROUNDED BY BUSTLERS. , we g | Ranks of the Besiegers Recruiting Hourly —Both Sides Well Armed and the Sit- uation Desperate—Gen. Schofield Sends .Three Troops of Cavalry to the Scene— History of the Troubles. WASHINGTON, D.C., April 13.—The Pres!i- Gent received a telegram last night from the acting Governor of Wyoming, in which he gaid: About sixty-one owners of live stock: are reported to have made an armed excursion into Johnson county for the purpose of protecting their live stock and preventing unlawful round ups by rustlers. Theyare atthe ‘‘T. A.’’ ranch, ten miles from Fort McKinney, and are being besieged by Sheriff and posse and by rustlers from that section of the country, said to be 200 or 300 in number. The wagons of stockmen were captured and taken away from them, and it is reported that a battle took place during which a number of men were. killed. Great excitement prevails. Both parties are very determined, and it is feared that if successful, will show no mercy tothe persons captured. The civil authorities are unable to prevent violence, The situation is serious and immediate as- sistance will probably prevent great loss of life. The President informed the Secretary of War that the above statement, in his opinion, made ‘‘a case under sec. 4, art. 4of the Con- stitution that justifies the use of the army of the United States to protect the State of Wyoming against domestic violence,’’ and directed him to take immediate steps to send a sufficient force to the scene of the trouble and to co-operate with the Gov- ernor in restoring order. Gen. Schofield ordered troops at Fort McKin- ney tothe scene atonce. There are at that post three companies of Eighth Infantry and three troops of Sixth Cavalry. CAUGHT IN A TRAP. THE REGULATORS BESEIGED BY RANCHM®N AND RUSTLERS. CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 183.—The latest news to-day from the seat of war near Douglas, in- dicates that there has been little change from the situation reported by courler to Douglas last night. The only telegraph connection with Buffalo has been interrupted by cutting the wire. The employes of the big cattle cor- porations are called White Caps by the rust- lers, as their mission isto punish by unlaw- ful means the men whom the barons have branded as rustlersandcattlethieves. The latest report shows that the White Caps are intrenched in the buildings of the T. A. ranch, and a party of rangers have sur- rounded them. The White Caps opened © fire yesterday ‘morning and shots were exchanged all day. A mounted man rode in safety through the lines from the ranch yesterday morning to secure aid for the besieged. Sheriff Angus arrived at Buffalo yesterday morning and at once wentto the siege with his posse. He swore inthe besliegersas dep- uty sheriffs and then called upon the White Caps to surrender. He was answered with a volley. They are strongly fortified and can- not be taken without loss of life. The city authorities have called upon the Governor for militia and have asked for regulars from Fort McKinney. On the 9th inst. Sheriff Angus received a letter at Buffalo from Douglas, which stated that a train-load of armed men had taken the road for Buffalo. The same afternoon news came of thefight at K. C. ranch. Sheriff An- gus hastened thithertofind that the White Caps had won and gone. The bodies of Nate Champion and Dick Ray were discovered in the ruins half burned. Jack Flagg, known as a leader of the rustlers, and a delegate to the Democratic State Con- vention at Cheyenne, stopped at the K. C. ranch that night to put up. He was sum- moned to hold up his handsand refused. A bullet grazed his head and he and a relative named Taylor barely escaped with their lives. They cut the traces and mounted their horses. The so-called rustlers number 175 men and the majority ofthe party consists of ranch- men, mechanics and workingmen, there being but twenty-five real rustlers in the crowd. Arapahoe Brown hascharge of the rustlers’ movementsand Sheriff Angus isan active recruiting officer. The followifg are the names of some of the White Onp regu- lators, or cattlemen’s party: W. J. Clark, Fred Hesse, F. L. Hesse, F. M. Can- ton, Charles Ford, H. W. Davis, Col. L. H. Parke of Johnson County, D. E. Clark of Belle Fourche County, Maj. Wolcott of Con- verse County; Ben Morrison and W. C. Irvine of Powers County; Bill Henry and Charley Carter of Laramie County, George Helm, William Calloon and Charley Austin, team- sters, and Joe Ellicott is also with the party, This information was obtained from Gus Green, who arrived here _ yester- day and now admits he was of the lh ge | arty. Hisconditionis growing worse an ewilldie. Besides the names mentioned above it is said there isa Senatorand a Rep- mms ortwoamongthe opposing par- es. As far as can be learned no one has been kilied to-day, and the invaders still remain in their barricade surrounded by the rustler- citizen party. lt looks like the Regulators were caught in adeath-trap. Ifthey do not surrender in a body they will be starved or shot as they try to escape singly. THE MEN IN THE FIGHT. ORIGIN OF THE CONFLICT NOW WAGED AMONG THE STOCKMEN OF WYOMING. DENVER, Colo., April 13,—There is a wide- spread misconception of the origin of the war among the cattlemen of Wyoming and the character of the men engaged in it. The facts are that it is nota conflict between cat- tlegrowers on the one hand and catfle thieves on the other, but is a war between the barons otthe industry—the big stockmen andthe ranchmen, orsmallstockmen. There is no disputing the fact that the rustlers or cattle- thieves are also inthe fight. But they are engaged on the side of the ranchmen, while pitted against them on the side of the cattle barons are hired emissaries, said to have been gathered up and placed in the field by Pinkerton agents under pay of the big cattlegrowers. For years the small stockmen have had a grievance against the big men ofthe busi. ness and it came about In this way: The small ranchman with a few head of stock would find a sequestered park in which there was plenty of water and the grass rew luxuriantly, and settle down quietly, ncreasing the bunch of cattle by natural means and attending to his own business. Presently the range riders of a large com- They would see the ossibly that year, upon the small occupation, It is easy to see that without the ability to secure ar ayn in his behalf and without money with which to 7 the trespassers in the courts, if he ha legal claims, he _ would find himself driven out or compelled to become an employe of the company and di- vide with them the little section of country which he had previously considereg by ret | very a8 his own—or becom# &@ rustier. 4 rustlers, therefore, have aynong their me ber not a few of this clasgof men who | enough intended, known as | a Farmers’ _— — Association of which the president is John R. Smith, a ranchman whose reputation is fairly , is credited with being at the bottom of he rustling which seems to have grown this year with so much activity. When the first reports of the conflict now raging in the Powder River country came fn ople made the mistake of concluding that he Wyoming rustlers of this war were iden- tical with the Jackson gang of rustlers who have for many years operated from Jack- s0n’s Hole, or Teton Basin, immediately south of the Yellowstone National Park. **Teton’’ Jackson, who drew around him a small band of daring and reckless outlaws found Jackson’s Hole early in the . 2 was easily discovered to be the most inacces- sibleipoint, with narrow defiles leading. into it, and consequently it was made a rendez- vous and wintering place for Teton Jack’s band who have stolen horses particularly, together with such cattle as they needed for food, for ten years from the ranges in the Big Horn country, along Green River, along the Sweetwater and.also the eastern portion of Idaho. Teton Jack’s band was practically broken up by the inspectors of the Cattlegrowers’ Association five years ago, and the latter was driven into Idaho, where he was captured and sentenced tothe penitentiary for fourteen years. Since then reports have been recelved of his escape andof his recapture and it Is also stated that about two years ago he at- tempted to make a second escape an@ was Killed. While undoubtedly the Jackson band of rustlers still exists and holds forth from Jackson’s Hole, at the same time this new organization of cattle rustlers, though in sympathy with and connected by the well- known means of communication which exists between thieves of this class throughout the entire Northwest, yeti t is essentially a differ- ent organization. The country in which the rival forces of cowmen are Operating is the valle of the North Fork of Powder River, a stream which has its source onthe eastern slope of the Big Horn Mountains. It flows in a generally northeast direction, running into the south fork of the same river and constituting the mainstream, which flows nearly due north and empties into the Missouri River at Terry, in Montana. The eastern Te ofthe Big Horn Mount- ains, between Poison Spider Creek and Sheri- dan, the lattera towna few miles south of the Montana line, is regarded ag the finest cattle range country in Wyoming, or possibly inthe West. Grass grows higher, is more succulent, and the rainsare more frequent, while there is an abundance of spring water and water in small creeks, upon all of which cattle grow fat winter and summer, It is one of the easiest sections of the United States for the men to hide in and get lost In. To the northeast Buffaloand to the south Casper are about equally distant, or each seventy milesaway. These are the nearest settlements. There are canyons and passes and defiles through the Big Horn Mountains, a knowledge of which enabled the Crow In- dians, although assailed by superior force, to make a troublesome fight about four years ago.

Terrible Fatality Which Accompanied a Fire at East St. Louis This Morning— The Children Supposed to Have Ig- nited the House During the Parents’ Absence—East St. Louis News. Two small children were burned to death in a dwelling that was destroyed by fire in East St. Louis this forenoon. The fire oc- curred at the residence of Henry Niemann, a German who is employed as a wiremaker at the Freeman Wire & Iron-Works. The residence, which was on Gross avenue near Thirteenth street, was completely destroyed, and the children, two little boys, Max and Freddie Nieman, who were the only occupants atthe times were burned withit. According tothe statements of the parents, itappears thatthe elder boy, Max, had a penchant for playing with fire, and it is supposed that he took advantage of the opportunity afforded by his parents’ absence to. Indulge in his dangerous pastime with fatal results to himself and his brother as well. Max and Freddie were agedd4and 6 years respectively, being the youngest of Mr.andNrs. Nieman’s four chil- dren. The older children were at school dur- ing the forenoon. Mrs, Nieman left the house about 10 a. m. to deliver milk to her customers, she keeping a small dairy, andas Mr. Nieman was at work the two little boys were alone in the house, Knowing the love of her boy Max for matches and fire, she cautioned him before she went away to keepaway fromthe stove and put the match box outofhis reach. Shortly after she had left neighbors discovered that the house was on fire, and an effort was made to save it but without avail. The house burned tothe groundand Mrs. Nieman re- turned only in time to see her home In ashes, THE MOTHER’S ANGUISH. Her agony was expressedinthe most pit- eous manner when she was informed that her children had not been rescued and was ainful tothe beholders, Assoon as the fire ad subsided so that search could be made among the ruins the neighbors began to look forthe children’s corpses, and within a short time two lttle bodies, charred and blackened, were brought forth from the smouldering pile. When po were recovered the bodies bore little semblance to humanity, but they were not so badly burned as might have been ex- pected. They were found partly protectedGd by a pile of half-burned bed clothing. It is supposed that the boys accidentally set their own clothing on fire, and then in thelr fright crawled under the bed. The position of the bodies showed that the poor little fel- lows had died locked in each others arms, Coroner Woods held an inquest at noon and returned a verdict of accident. Members of the Y.

Deputy Coroner Meade began his inquest this morning onthe bodyof Henry Kellogg, the man with whom James McClellan had a fight in front of 4,100 North Second street last Monday night. Kellogg was sent to the City Hospital with several cuts and bruises in his face and on his head, and died of his injuries yesterday morning. It was at first reported that Kellogg had been cut in the left side, but that was afterward contradicted. All the cuts were on the sides of the head, one on the left side and two on the right. Thedoctors at the hospital said that one of the cuts was made by a knife or other sharp instru- ment, perhaps a sharp-edged stone. Ex- Gov. Johnson was present atthe inquest in the interests of the prisoner, who had. been brought in handcuffed. The first witness was Mrs. Kate Kellogg, the widow of the deceased. She knew nothing of the fight between him and McClellan and was excused. Mrs. Margaret Coughlin, the keeper ofthe boarding-house at' 4100 North Second street was next called. ‘‘He was very obscene when drinking,’’ said Mrs. Coughilip, ‘‘referring to Kellogg. ‘‘He was with me three or four years ago. Two weeks ago he became so bad that I told htm he would have to move. Last Sunday morning he was drunk and very abusive, both to me and my children, and one of my i ~»boys hit him on the legs with a stick of wood. I put his things out of the room aud he became more abusive. Itold Mr. McClellan, one of my boarders, that Kellogg was abusing me, and McClellan came out and Said, ‘Hank, you’ve done enough ofthat cursing.’ ‘It’s none of your business,’ said Kellogg. some further words dared McClellan to fight I told McClellan notto gooutand he di . Kellogg then left. In the evening, or late in the afternoon, Kellogg came along and the quarrel was renewed. I didn’t hear what they sald, but Kellogg ut his right hand in his pocket and McClel- an at once hit him with his fist on the side of his head. Kellogg was staggered by the blow and McClellan hit him again, and this biow knocked him down. Then McClellan struck him once or twice after he was down. He didn’t kick himand had nothingin his hands when he struck him.’’ Mrs. Coughlin thought that Kellogg cut his face in falling. Only three other witnesses were examined, namely, Jennie Harris, acolored girl living on Second and Angelica streets; Robert Coughlin, a boy and the son of the second witness, and Frank Murphy, the boarder, with whom Mrs. Coughlin was talk- ing when the encounter between Kellogg and McClean took place. These witnesses all corroborated in the main the testimony given by Mrs. Coughlin. The girl = said that Kellogg fell on his face and that McClellan struck him two or three times when he was down and rene on his face. Murphy testified that the boy Robert had hit Kellogg with a slab of wood that Sunday and that he hit him on instead of the legs as stated by Mrs. Coughlin, The boy was not questioned in regard to that Dlow. Murphy also stated that the street where Kellogg fell was macadamized, the inference to be ‘drawn being that the cuts on Kellogg’s face were made a sharp stone on the street when he fell. tn The jury found that Kellogg ‘‘came to his death at the City Hospitalon April 12, isv2, from the effects of blows and bruises, either from being knocked down or by being struck with some blunt instrument on April 1 at 4100 North Second street and that James McClel. lan or Robert Cougtlin is responsible for said injuries to said deceased. A charge of manslaughter in the fourth de- gree was placed against each ofthe men this afternoon. Jersey City Is Republican. Junsey Crrr, N.

An Important $42,000 West End Pur- chase—Improvements. A transaction of much importance to the systematic and uniform subdivision and im- provement ofthe high cast residence prop- erty between Union avenue and King’s high- way, was the purchase to-day of 650 feet of ground on Lake avenue, heretofore platted as Haydock place, which runs south from Delmar avenueto Portland place. The lots on that subdivision were originally laid out to front east and west, andfor that reason the improvement of them with buildings became and has been regarded generally as a menace to the fine lots which would have been backed up against on Washington ave- nue and Westminster place. Owners in Port- land place objected to his subdivision of Haydock place forthe same reason, and it wasa much greater impediment to the en- hancement of the value and the development of the east and west streets named, as no one liked to build a fine residence opposite a neighbor’s back door. Immediately west of Haydock place, on Lake avenue, by both of which names the subdivision is known, the Westminster Realty Co. is expending a large amount of money in the § im- provement of a plot of 38,200 feet of ground on the southeast corner of Union and Delmar avenues. Both Washington avenue and Westminster place runs through the Westminster Realty Co.’s property, and for that reason the undesirable platting of Hay- dock place was a great obstacle to the proper development of the tract ownel by the cor- poration. Heretofore repeated efforts have been made to have the subdivision changed to meet the necessities of the situation, but as the Haydock place lots had been sold and were held by numerous different parties the, task was not an easy one, the difficulty being to obtain the co-operation of all the parties interested. Nelson & Mersman have the management of the Westminster Realty Co.’s property, and at the suggestion of this firm and in the interest of the corporation, the ob- jectionable Lake avenue frontage, compris- ing 650 feet, has been purchased and the lots will be replatted so as to front north and south, rather than east and west, as they now do, Ashbel L. Fields made the purchase, the parties he bought from being John F. Randall, 50 feet; Chas. H. Beggs, 100 feet; Seneca N. Taylor, 100 feet; H. M. Pollard, 100 feet; J. C. Howe, 100 feet; F. A. Hunicke, 50 feet; Ed- ward L. Cory, 50 feet, and Geo. Burnett, 100 feet, these grantors having hn represented in the tranfer by Rutledge @@orton. Now that this conveyance has been accom- plished, the Westminster Reaity Co. will pro- ceed with the i original plan of im- proving its property, which provides for telford roadways, witha top dressing of red Pacific gravel,red granitoid gutter sand white granitoid sidewalks six feet wide separated from the curb line by a grass plat that is to be embellished with ornamental shrubbery. The plan removes the driving at a greater distance from the entrances to residences and brings the park strip closer to the front door than if the parkway was down the cen- ter of the street andthe roadway on either side. Sewers, water and gas will also be fur- nished in this new subdivision, the intention of the managers beingtohavethe character and completeness of the system of improve- ments second to none in the city. DID NOT HYPNOTIZE HER. Dr. Fichtenkam Denies the Allegations of Mrs. Theresa Gammer. Dr, Fichtenkam was seen this forenoon rel- ative tothe charge of hypnotization made against him by Mrs. Theresa Gammer, as published in yesterday’s POst-DISPATCH, and declared itto be utterly without foundation, Mrs. Gammer applied for a warrant against the doctor, alleging that he had exerciseda hy pnotic spell over her for a long time, the first occurrence beingonan excursion some years ago, when he asked her to submit to his influence and made her see a lot of interesting sights; and the last on Friday of last week, when she alleged he went to her house at 2740 Wyoming street, waved his hands over her and put her intoa trance and then rummaged the house for $60 which he understood she had hidden some- where about the premises. Dr. Fichtenkam made the followlng state- ment: ‘*There is no foundation whatever for the story. My acquaintance with Mrs. Gam- mer is practically embraced in the fact that we are members of the same council of Chosen Friends. Iam assistant secretary of the council, and I receive her dues, treating her of course politely asIdoall. I examined her for admission tothe Chosen Friends, and some fouryears agol visited her profession- ally three or four times for fever, when She was livingon Sidney street, but I never was in her house before, and have never been in her hopse since, and never was in the Wy- oming street house, and certainly was not there last Friday, and of course did not hyp- notize herand rummage the house. I have not seen Mrs. Gammer since last Wednesday night, whenthe council met. I don’t re- member being on an excursion when Mrs, Gammer was present, And as to hypnotizing her, I nevertriedto. Inever hypnotized anyone. I don’t know how to go about doing it.’’ In reply to further questioning Dr. Fichten- kam said that he could not imagine how Mrs, Gammer got such anidea concerning him, From some Hittle hints that cameto him he had heardthat she had some queer ideas about him, but he could not remember just what she complained of; she had some no- tion of suing him he had heard. WANTS HIS CHILD. Frank Perry Applies for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to Recover His Daughter. Frank Perry this afternoon made applica- tion to the Circuit Court for a writ of habeas corpus to get possession of his year-old daughter, Frankie Perry, who, he alleges, is now in the hands of her grandmother, Mrs. Minnie Nennsteil, of North Nineteenth street.

Proceedings Commenced by the Mercan- tile Telegraph Co.—Court News. The Mercantile Telegraph Co,, whose man- ager, James H. Townsend, was fined $1,000 by Judge Claiborne for violating the Stone pool law, began an injunc- tion sult to-day against Ohief of Police Lawrence Harrigan to restrain the police from interfering with plaintiff’s . business at 212 North Eighth street. The Mercantile Tele- graph Go. alleges it was organized for the purpose of doing a general telegraph busl- ness, and is duly licensed to conduct business inthe State of Missouri. Itis alleged that the Chief of Police threatens and is about to enter the office and premises of nlaintiff and arrest the employes of plaintiff and threatens to raid the office and business of plaintiff every bour for the purpose of breakingupand destroying said business. It was known that the injunction proceeding would be filed. Townsend hav- ing stated thatit was his intention to take 1 such a ste p. Chief of Police Harrigan was called upon by a Deputy Sheriff about noon to-day and served with the Sheriff’s noticethata suit fora writ of injunction would be instituted in the Circuit Court this afternoon. As the Court of Criminal Correction has found Mr. Townsend guilty, -Chief Harrti- gan * will in all probability arrest him should he reopen the pool room pending the trial of the casein the Supreme Court, and it is to preventthis that the writ of injunction will be applied for. Should the writ be granted it may mean that the pool room will be reopened and Kept open until the decision of the Supreme Court is ren- dered. The application for the writ was made in the Circuit Court this afternoon. Messrs. Leverett Bell and Thomas Harvey will repre- sent Chief Harrigan and make answer. Judge Klein this afternoon granted the ap- plication for the writ of injunction and ordered that the Chief of Police show cause why he should not be enjoined from interfering with the com- pany’s business, Harrigan is required to on Sat- urday, and meantime is ee uae from committing any ‘‘unlaw- ful act’’ in connection with the com- pany’s business. This, however, will not preclude him from making raids as under Judge Olaiborne’s decision it is law- ful for him to do so. An order to prohibit raids or interference with the company’s business was refused, DOWN ON DODGE. The Cotton Exchange Indictment of the Agricultural Department. There was not a little feeling occasioned by the reply of J. B. Dodge, Statistician of the Department of Agricuiture,to the resolutions passed on Monday by the St. Louis Cotton Exchange. The gist of the complaint of ‘the Cotton Excbange was that opinions as to remedies, not simply statements of facts, were made in the monthly crop re- orts, a course which was unauthorized, and 1ad a strong tendency to disturb the market. Mr. Dodge’s dy’ A in which he refers to the members of the Cotton Exchange as ‘‘a band of speculators,’’ roused the ireof the mem- bers of the Exchange, and an . appeal was made to the Merchants’ Ex- change to join in a protest against the publication by the Government of indi- vidual opinions by Government officials as to the causes and effects of crop movements. A meeting of the Directors of the Merchants’ Exchange was held this afternoon, at which the subject was discussed and the following was adopted: Resolved, That the Honorable Secretary ot Agri- culture be petitioned to require. hereafter that tne monthly reports of the Agricultural Department give all possible data and information concerning the crops ofthe country without. offer) any deduc- tions therefrom which might be considered as the individual opinions of the statistician.

Howard Eckles First Killed Jennie Harri- sonand Then Himself. i An inquest on the bodies of Jennie Harris and Howard Eckles, the victims of the double tragedy at 706 North Thirteenth street last Monday morning, was held by Coroner Irwin to-day. The most important witness was Mrs. Fannie Moore, who lives with her husband over the room in which the shooting occurred and who is a niece of the dead woman. Shetestified that she was asleep when the shooting occurred, but was waked up directly afterwards by John Harris, who had a room next to the oneoccupled by Jennie Harris and Howard Eckles. He told her that something had happened in heraunt Jennie’s room and for herto go down there, but he didn’t say what had occurred. She ran down there and went into the room and found ner aunt lying on the floor in one corner of the room several feet from the bed and Eckles lying or rather squatting on the floor at the foot of the bed. He was dead, and seemed to have fallen be- tween the stove and the bed. A pistol was lying on the floor at his side and another pistol was on the bed only a few inches from the footof the bed. There was no pistol near the woman. The witness went for a doctor right away, as her aunt was still living, and when she got back the room was crowded with people and her aunt was soon afterwards removed tothe Citv Hospital. The Coroner asked her if she was the first one to enter the room after the shooting, and she replied that she was. She was not ques- tionea in regard tothe previous quarrels be- tween them or the threats which Eckles made to the effect that he would kill her and then himself, too, John Harris testified that he was asieep last Mondav morning in a room adjoining the one inwhich the shooting occurredgwhen he was awakened by ashot. He heard Jennie Harris scream and he sat up in ved. Then he heard two more pistol shots followed or accompanied by a scream or exclamation from Eckler. It sounded to him asif Eckler said: ‘‘Oh, have mercy on me.’’ He wasn’t dressed at the time and so he called tothe folks up-stairs to come down and see what had happened in Jennie Varris’ room. He then dressed himselfand, when he entered the room next door he found several people ahead of him, The woman was then lying on the bed. He didn’t Know anything about .the shooting or the probable cause of it, except thatthey hada quarrel and that she had him arrested for cutting some of her cloth- ing. He heard Eckles threaten one day last week to kill her, but didn’t hear him say why. Hecouldn’t say whether Eckles did all the shooting or whether one of the pistols was used 0by woman, Officer McDonough, the first policeman to arrive at the scene ofthe tragedy, testified that the room was full of people when he got there. One of the pistols was then lying at the side of the woman, who was in bed, near her shoulder, and the other ona was at Eckles’ side. He had no idea who shot either of the pistols, cut he found that one of them had been fired twice and the other three times, Jasper Watson, a colored man, last witness. He Knew nothing of the tragedy, but testified that Eckles was 24 years old andcame to St. Louls several years ago from Knoxville, Tenn.

Tux Ryan primary election law may not be perfect, but it has one thing so strongly in ity favor that the people wil] hardly con- gent to have it amended, It has the violent : of ‘de push,’’ and politicians and others with axes to grind. — — Pex Mayor says he is ‘‘driving to Mos- we the wolves following on his oe.) Moscow is a new name for the = place and wolves are not the kind of animals that usually bother travelers on the road. But no matter, let the way be cleared for Hisoner. The people of St. Louis have not been much exercised over the Democratic nom- ination for Governor. Not one of the candidates has ever been in Congress or in any position of such distinction as to make him an object of interest to the mass of St. Louis voters. The public mind in this section of the State has rested in the belief that they are all men of respectable local prominence and that any one of them would be a ‘*eo00d enough’’ Governor if elected with- out owing his office to some combination of boodlers and corporation influence. ‘‘Farmer Dick’’ DALTON’s first incur- sion into city politics was, therefore, rather a‘‘bad break’’ for him. He fell into the hands of political bunco steerers, who imposed on his rustic simplicity by receiving him with an air of life-long fa- miliarity and friendliness and then played a low-down confidence game on him. They got him to indorse the Noonan gang and to pose as its figure head in a strictly city fight against the bossism of the most dis- reputable Mayor in the State. The thing that the people of St. Louis are most anxious to throw off just now is the rotten rule of ‘‘de push,’’ and the thing St. Louis Democrats are most anx- ious to rid their party of is the City Hall bossism that has run fraudulent primaries and packed conventions in conjunction with Hoodlum Republican bosses for the sole purpose af selling offices to rich Re- publicans or Democrats, indiscriminately, but always in the interest of boodling oap- erations. In identifying himself with the opposi- tion of this gang to a new primary law en- acted to enable Democrats to nominate their own candidates, ‘‘Farmer Dick’’ arouses a suspicion that nothing but ‘*cheat’’ will ever grow where his hayseed is sown. The Democrats of St. Louis want no Governor who will use his office to protract the sway of Noonanism with all its disgraceful incidents over their city. ——— 6 THAT BOODLE CHARGE. The conduct of some members of the School Board at last night’s meeting only increases the suspicion of boodling in connection with the elevator contracts for the new Library building aroused by the charge of Mr. FoRMAN. The refusal of the board to postpone the consideration of the contracts until the statement and evidence of Mr. FORMAN could be submitted, the personal abuse of the man who made the charge and the squelching of an investigation resolu- tion do not tend to allay, public suspicion. The statement of certain directors that they have perfect confidence in all the members of the Building Committee merely injures their own standing in the estimation of the people, who have no confidence in CuD- MORE. Therecord of this man in the late board as revealed by the Post-DISPATCH precludes the board from taking the lofty ground that its members are above sus- picion and that any charge of corruption is aninsult. Insults of this kind have been forced home upon more than one member of the board. The wording of the elevator contracts is queer and the fact that they were awarded to the highest bidder is queerer, When to these queer elements is added a charge of boodling, in which CUDMORE is the principal figure, the board cannot avoid facing the charge without suffering from the imputation that it consents to a crooked transaction. 0 THE flood calamity inthe valley of the Tombigbee Riverin Mississippi is one of the severest for the extent of territory overflowed in the history of disasters from high waters. The reports indicate thata section of country many miles in extent has been made a waste of water. The loss of life reaches the hundreds,and all houses, crops and stock within the range of the flood have been destroyed. The survivors are stripped of everything, and quick re- lief is undoubtedly needed to save them from great suiiering. —_—__ — THE spat in the Senate yesterday over the party history of Senators PALMER and CULLOM was no doubt interesting to old fellows with a talent for retrospection and recollection, but what does it signify what either of them was forty years ago? PALMER has outgrown his errors and CUL- LOM has merely exchanged one set of mis- taken opinions for another, It is quite enough toaska statesman to give an ac- count of himself to-day. To inquire into his past is ungracious as well as dan- gerous. a © — — —— — For the next few weeks all incendiary fires in this country and in Europe will be set down as the work of Anarchists, and the police will be in a condition of nervous apprehension. After they get over the tremorand recover their wits the search for the criminals will be prosecuted with- outany presuppositions. Meanwhile the offenders will have escaped. A police. officer without a clue cannot get along without an Anarchist. _ oe ———, — MR.

THE PLANS OF THE NEW COMBINATION DEVELOPED IN CAUCUS. Mr. Dalton Tells Recordér Carlisle That Swift Will Name Allof His Delegations and None Other Must Ee Recognized— Devoy Grossly Deceived—Picturesque Opening of the Democratic Campaign— Filley Wins Another Point From the Silk Stockings. The Noonan faction have now come out openly and above board in their plan to cap- ture the primaries under the Dalton banner. Not content with tying up with the full- grown Dalton boom they have swallowed Dalton and made himoneofthem, ‘‘Farmer Dick’’ fell into the hands of the Phil- istines this morning and was taken up to the City Hall not under the wing of Col. Ed Devoy ashe appeared in the House of Delegates last Friday evening, but armin arm with Bill Swift and Bob Phelps,the railroad attorney. They dropped in and shook hands ith the .Mayor and then all hands meandered over to the _ office of City Counsellor Marshall. The party retired to the inner office and locked the door. From 10 o’clock till one hour afternoon was spent in discussing the city canvass. What arguments were presented to wean Dalton from the house of Devoy will not be known as the members.of the caucus refused to dis- cuss that phase. Suffice'it to say that Dalton was won over and sealed bis allegiance to the **push’’ by affixing his signature to the fol- lowing document: St. Lours, April 13, 1892. James L. Carlisle, Esq., Recorder of Voters, Oity of St. Louis: DEAR Srr—I am a. candidate for the Democratic nomination for Governer of Missouri, and lected a committee,.of which Mr. W. H chairman, to look after my interests and help me conduct my campaign in the city of St. Louis. That committee will present to you the names of the gentlemen selected for delegates in the several wards, indorsed by at least twenty qualified voters of each ward. wno will run in my interest. Those delegations wiil run under the name of **Dalton Ticket,’’ and I desire to notify you that I will not permit any ticket or delegation to use my name, except such as may be indorsed and cer- tified by my said committee, and I herewith request you not to use or aNow my nameto be used by any other persons or delegations, end not to place my name upon the ticket in connection with any dele- gations except those authorized by me. Piease advise me, in writing,when this ticket must be filed in your office. Respectfully, RICHARD DALTON. The gentlemen who took part In this morn- ing’s meeting were His Honor the Mapor, his political mentor, Col. Bill Wright, his legal adviser, City Coun- selor Wm. Marshall; Billy Macklin; Judge Tom Morris, the representatives of the railroads with whom Noonan affilated, Ed Kenna of the Friscoand Bob Phelps of the Missouri! Pacific; Johnny Regan of the Second Ward and Hon. Dick Dalton. Alderman Cronin was there to represent his friend, the editor, but he did not stay for the executive session. The committee which Mr. Dalton refers to isto be an Executive Committee of seven gentlemen who will handle the campaign. Mr. Swift is Chairman, and associated with him are Judge Terry and Hugh Pattison. The other four have not been decided upon, but will be selected before night. The next planthe gentlemen tackled was the ‘‘Noonanesque’’ idea of making a ward fight. Aftera lengthy conference between the Mayor, Billy Macklinand Johnny Ryan, a committee was made each ward called the Executive Committee which it is not. It isthe Noonan committee to look after the campaign in every wardand seethat the Dalton delegation gets there ‘‘by hook or by crook’’ as Judge Tom Morris said. The com- mittee by wards is as follows: First Ward—James Cronin, James Cun- hningham. Second Ward—John Owens. Third Ward—LoniGulon, E. E.’Guion. Fourth Ward—Fred Murphy, Ed Gartland, Daniel Guy. Fifth Ward—Daniel Hoffman. Sixth Ward—James Gallagher, Seventh Ward—Frank Witter. Eighth Ward—James Moone, John Roche. Ninth Ward—Henry Quelimaiz, James oche. Tenth Ward—Thomas Cosgrove.

Mack- lin secretary of the committee. A glance over the hames shows that nine-tenths of them areinthe city’s employment. Three from the House of Delegates and Department furnishes total. Billy Macklin mecting was their intention tactics of campaign of three years To go right to work among the people and whoop things up in every ward. : The Devoy people who were seen said that the notification to the Recorder was a trick to prevent any one but Noonanites from running as Daiton delegates. They said the scheme would not work and that their side would be heard from to-morrow. DEVOY OUT OF IT. While this meses was going on, Ed De- voy, whoknew nothing of it, was talking with a Post- DISPATCH reporter about the situation ~- ‘‘Noo nan ha imply come in here When we hadallthe work done for Dalton and attempted to rob its fruits and get all the said he, "a think it mistrke for Dalton to go into the combination.

When Mr. Devoy hears of this morning’s work at the City Hall he will un- derstand why Mr. Dalton didn’t want his counsel, : * QOULDN’T REFUSE VOTES. Mr. Dalton was seen to-day while he was talking to some of his friends post after the meeting at which*he threw E Devoy over- board and turned over his campaign in Sst, Louls to the management of W, H. Swift. ‘*Do you think this deal with the Noonan men will hurt youlm the country?’’ he was Ot et palton thought a long time, chewing a wooden toothpick the while. ’‘Don’t put words into miy mouth,’’ he said, looking at R Fitz- Hugh Drs. re, it ?’ im n aid youmake your agreement with Oe here igen no Dalton. mn no bination of any , Dalton to the push Democrats. up from. t,’’ said Mr. | kind.

Starting the Dalton Boom, Clad in the gray suit with frock coat of square and old-fashioned cut, which he has worn on dress occasions. for the last two years, with the bud ofa bousilene rose rest- ing against the left lapel, diamonds flashing from his left hand and the pinof his teck necktie, Mayor Noonan advanced to the front of the stage inthe hall of Uhrig’s Cave last night to make a few personal remarks before he introduced Candidate-for-Governor Dick Farmer Dick’s broad face looked at the assemblage from ae seat at the back of the stage. Judge Bob Claiborne sat by him on one side, Onthe other were State Senator Jasper Burksand City Counselor W. Marshall. Deputy Coroner Charley Meade looked on from the wings. W. H. Swift, the boss of thenew Dalton movement, was the master of ceremonies on the stage. AN AUDIENCE OF CITY EMPLOYES. Three-quarters of the au‘dlience have their names printed in that vade mecum of the push, the flat little book showing the city employes and the amount of the pay they draw. There wasa Claque up in front that applauded vigorously whenever any of the speakers came to a pause. It was led by Supt. J. P. Gallagher, late of the New York Tammany, and now superintendent of the St. Louls Poor-house, and Mr. R. M. Kerley, the new superintend- ent of the Female Hospital. Sitting on the stage, one could look over the seats and imagine it was a mass-meeting of men from the City Hall and Court-house. The back seats were occupied by several score laborers ofthe Street Department. They came into Tom McNeary’s saloon, oneofthe entrances to the hall, together, halfan hour before the speaking began and huddled close together in one part of the room and stayed there till the band began playing, when they all went inthe hall. Councilmen Charley James and Chas. E. Wehner, who are not in sympathy with the Mayor’s new move, were not there. Neither was Chris Von der Ahe, who has been at the front in all the other campaigns of the Mayor. He likes Councilman James better than he does the Mayor. Ed Devoy was noticeably absent. The Mayor’s Dalton lasso had failed to catch any of the commissioners of the Board of Public Improvements, except Harbor Com- missioner Dan Able. His smile and white teeth were conspicuous beforethe me@ting began, but after that he was lost in the crowd. Hugh Brady was there to get hints forthe anti-Noonan men. The only friend of Gov. Francis present was Vice-President John H. Overall of the Board of Police Com- missioners. He wasin the fringe of poll- ticlans who stood in the passage opening in- tothe hall and could carry ona conversa- tion while at the same time watching what was going on inside. COST OF NOONAN’S CAMPAIGNS.’ Mayor Noonan was introduced by Mr. Swift and was received with a_ shout of applause. He made a better appearance on the platform thanhe has done fora long time. He was self-possessed and stood straight and gracefully. He hada roll of pa- perinhis hand, which he threw tpon the table. ‘*This isaspeech Ihad intended to make,’’ saidhe, ‘‘butthe lack of light will prevent me, You have reason to thank your- selves for the lack of ight. I have reason to believe that it will be published in one paper, atleast. It is moretechnical than the speech I want to make to you.’’ The Mayor then alluded to his victorious campaigns in days gone by. Four of them had cost him’ tess than $500 apiece, and his campaign for Mayor had cost the gentlemen who surrounded him less than $2,000, ‘‘I mention this,’’ said His Honor proudly, ‘‘to establish the fact that the gentlemen who followed me did 60, not because of my money, but because of my intellect, de- mocracy and honesty. In this speech,’’ pointing to the roll paper, 2 have shown a conspiracy was organized in Jefferson City to place on the statute books of the State a law that England, Prussia, Austria, aye, even Russia would not permit, a law that givesto one man in the Governor’s office, through his lieutenant in the Recorder of Voters’ office in St. Louls, a power as mighty as the Czar ever wielded.’’ Supt. Gallagher here started a wave of e * roarious applause, which was continued by the street department men inthe back of the hall, toofar away from their cue, after the Mayor hadresumed. This organized applause swept the hall at intervals, but there was only one shout of approval by an individual. That was when the Mayor alluded to bis win- ning race for Mayor. Hehad waked him- self, he said, when his enemies thought him dead, and had swept the city. ax it again!’’ shouted the solitary enthu- siast. **l REMEMBER, DAVID R,’”’ His Honor said a little more about his for- mer campaign, and then he declared that he was golngto makethe Dalton campaign, a more splendid one than any ofthese. He paused, and then began his peroration, ‘‘As I look over the situation now,’’ said he, stretching out his left arm towards the audience and dazzling the upturned eyes of Supt. Gallagher with the diamond on his finger, 7ag can imagine myself ina sleigh, sweeping over the snowy wastes toward Moscow, with a pack of wolves howling on my track, and 1 can even hear some of the menlI have made urg- ing the wolves to catch me, butI also remem- ber, David R.,’’—and the Mayor paused— ‘‘that l got to Moscow before the wolves got there.’’ MR. DALTON’S CAMPAIGN. Tremendous applause showed what Supt. Gallagher thought of this metaphor, ‘'I now introduce to ou’’—and the Mayor stepped back, while Judge Claiborne slapped Mr. Dalton on the back encourag- ingly, *‘the Hon. Richard Dalton, candidate for Governor of this State.’’ Mr. Dalton made a speech denying that he the anti-corporation candl- date. He was followed by Jasper Burks, Judge Claiborne and Counsel- or Marshall, and then the city employes gave three cheers for Daltoh and went home, The Aunti-Noonan Push. A large meeting of the Twonty-fourth Ward Democrats was held last night at Albany Hall under the auspices of the West Side Club, an anti-Noonan and anti-Tam- many organization. Overthree hundred men attended the meeting, and among the speak- ers who addressed the people were Hon. George W. Lubke, who spoke upon the democracy as opposed. to mon- opolies, trusts corporation in- fluence. Hon, Stone, Senator inour State Legislature, who punctured a few holes in the prohibitory tariff. Mortimer Shaw, who stirred upthings by bringing old Grover to the front, and citing facts to show that in America we have free tradein labor a protectionin those things needed by abor. Maj. O. F. Guthrie addressed the club upon the Ryan primary law, and showed how under that law every vote would be counted, and roused the good citizens to attend the primaries onthe 27th of April to show that they were entitled as tax-pay- ers and honorable men to run politics. He also was fn favor of placing delegates in the field who were uninstructed. The next speaker was no less a man than Farmer Dick Dalton, candidate for gubenatorial honors at the hands of the Democracy of Missourl. His remarks were lively and- well _ re- ceived ; he evidently made a impression. The last speaker was Carl Otto, the attorney, and he addressed himself to ward politics, The crowd laugned and applauded at his re- marks, especially when he got to fighting the ‘‘stable crowd’’ of the Twenty-fourth Ward, and when he boldly said that now was the time to down them the air rang with shouts of applause. The Twenty-Fourth Ward Rally. The Tammany Clubof the Twenty-fourth Ward will hold a monster Dalton demonstra- tion at Garrison avenue and North Market street thisevening. Preparations made for the event and a poll wow is expected. Ade from 400 strong, came down to up for their towmsman, tations sent out to ever, whoop were Bi ATA ERR BPE for office in the State, and favorable Hes have been received from Gibson, Stone, Dalton, O’Meara, Pollard, Sparks, Henry Bond, Bob Goode and others, who will be present and attend the meeting. Neither Mayor Noonanor Col. Jones have been in- vited to attend the meeting, and as the club, 800 in number, is evenly divided between the ‘push’’ and ‘‘pull’’ a lively meeting is antic- ipatead. Theclub has epread canvass over- head and procured electric lights and will be able to take care of 3,000 spectators. The Hoodlums Have Their War. Chairman Filley of the Republican State Committee sent to Recorder Carlisle to-day a call for allthe Republican primaries on the 28d. The Recorder sent word to Chairman A. J. Davis of the Silks’ committee, that he would have to recognize their call and woulda arrange the primaries for that day., Chair- man Davis went tosee Col. F. W. Schuarte about the matter, and then started out againto seethe Recorder and protest against the change ofdate, the Silks having wanted to hold tne primaries onthe 22d. He had not seen the Recorder at 8 o’clock this afternoon, but that official has now made up his mind, and will not change it. ‘*The Republican primaries will be held: on the 23d,’’ said he. ‘‘This call of the State Committee settles it. It is signed by Henry Ziegenhein and Amadee Cole, who have been acting with the Silks, and I shall recognize the State Commit- tee, anyway, as Counselor Marshall tells me Imust do. Mr, Filley has ylelded the Silks the Congressional primaries, and that was the main thing for which they were con- tending. ’’ Councilman Sloan’s Fears. Councilman John A. Sloan has not yet en- tirely recovered from his fear that the ‘*Push’’ is plotting his overthrow, and that he isa marked man. Anincident at the ball game yesterday fortified this belief in his mind, and caused him much uneasiness. Col. Sloan was sitting on the top row of seats on the south wing of the Grand Stand, Geo, Burnet, Dave Nicholson, Pug Jones, Lawrence Harrigan, Jr., and half adozen well-known men were strung alongthe same bench. Col. Sloan had impartedto a friend sitting next to him his plan for keeping the Council in ses- sion until midnight on the last day of the fis- cal year, and then reassembling immediately so as to prevent the Mayor’s ousting Lindsay and Holman. Then he leaned overand ina loud whisper asked: ‘*So it is true that Noonan has rolled O’Meara?’’: ‘‘IT would not discuss that here, Colonel. The Par* driver is right behind you.’’ Col. Sloan looked around, and there lean- ing over the railing behind him, not a foot away, was sure enough the Mayor’s pri- vate driver. Col. Sloan shut up likea bear trap, and did not see the next inning of the game at all. Carlisle Likes Noonan’s Speech. Recorder Carlisle said to-day: ‘‘I hope Mayor Noonan will repeat the speech he made last nightin every ward in the city. The primary law was not made by either Francis or Mafiitt, but by Dennis Ryan, who was an original Dalton man and is now one. ED BUTLER TELLS FUNNY STORIES. He Says He Is Noonan’s Friend and Didn’t “Roll’”’ the Little Man. Hot Sprinos, Ark., April 18.—Col, Ed But- ler, who is at present on the sick list witha bad attack of gout, takes exception tothe report that he helped to down the Noonan outfit in the Democratic City Central Com- mittee changesiast week. One of the reports was that he telegraphed to Committeeman Duddy of the Nineteenth Ward, and Ike Con- ran of the First, to stand by Maffitt and throw the Noonan-Jones combination over- board. Boss Butler was seen by @ Post-DISPATCH representative to-day in his handsome apart- ments in one of the leading hotels of this town. He was braced up in a chair, suffering from a decided enlargement of both feet. His attentive wife and attrac- tive young daughter were making matters as pleasant as they could for a man with a mean attack of rheumatism. He said: ‘*You can just say that there is too much significance attracted to that com- nittee meeting. Itdoes not byany manner of means indicate the political death of Ed Noonan. Hoblitzelle, I know, isa. friend of his. As longas Noonan is right he can count on Hoblitzelle and also ona majority of the committee, but he must take care and not get himself tled upin Bill Swift’s clutches. Swift cannot do him any good, and the sooner he finds out that fact the better for his pelitical future. While you are writing just say formethat I have been too sick for the past few weexkxsto bother about politics. I did not run away, as it has been claimed, to keep out of any Noonan or antl- Noonan com- bination. Inever ran away from any issue and I don’t propose to do it at this late stage in my life. ‘*Il am for Maffitt to represent St. Loulsasa delegate-at-large to the National Conven- tion. Hoisthe chairman of the State Com- mittee, has spent his time and money for the | prety and isentitled to some consideration. gain, he has lived in st. Louis all his life and this fact strengthens the claim of his friends that he should be _ selected. The people of St. Louls know Mafiitt well,and they know that he ts nota carpet-bagger. He would come nearer representing the St. Louis end ofthe State properly than any person urgea against him. Whentlleft 8t. Leuls I saw Noonan,and he did not saya word to me about the committee. Jones, Maffitt or anybody else. Lam not fighting Noonan andi don’t intend to oppose him. There is one thing I don’t ike about the new primary law, and that is it gives entirely too much authority to the Recorderof Voters. Under the Australian law he runs the elec- tions, and thg Ryan primary act gives him full control of the primaries. Iwas sorry to see the Central Committee vote to have all the delegates tothe four State conventions selected at the same primaries. I am sure the Democrats, goneraliy, will not approve of such a plan. So far as Recorder Carlisle is concerned, I know hetlsan honest man, who cannot be induced to treat anybody unjustly in carrying out the provisions of the now primary law, but one thing Is sure, and that is the Ryan law gives that official entirely too much swing in the management of the primartes. ‘*Do I intend to remain a candidate for del- egate tothe National Convention from the old Ninth District? Well, Ishould say I do. I am in that race to stays and I hope to suc- ceed, Ibaveanambifion to be one of the delegates to name the next President of this country.’’ ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Board HE IS WILLING Jay Gould Not Opposing the Ter- minus Movement. The Eads Bridge Counted On to Help St. Louis. SPLENDID PROGRESS MADE IN THE WHOLESALE MERCHANTS’ FIGHT. Commercial Bodies Will Take Up the Mat- ter of the Proposed Change of Termini ~The Wabash Willing to Establish Terminal Depots on This Side—The O. - &M. andthe Big Four Counted On— Good Showing for Victory. The movemert of the wholesale merchants of St. Louis to have St. Louis freight billed to St. Louis instead of East St. Louis, and to make St. Louls the officially recognized terminus for St. Louis railroads, has made splendid progress within the last few days. The prediction is now confidently an- nounced that within sixty days, if the whole- sale trade of the city keeps up the fight it has conducted it during the first week, the railroads now standing out for the continuation of terminal depats for 8t. Louis freight in East St. Louis will have been in, duced to change their plans and prepare to come across the river to this side with their terminals. It is stated that In addition to the great ad- vantage Which would thus be secured for the wholesale trade of this city, and for the city’s standing in the official railroad records as a great shipping and receiving terminal point, this change will mean the additional invest- ment in St. Louis of at least $20,000,000 by the roads thus induced to recognize this city as the proper terminus for its own freight. The ctreular recently issued by the whole- sale trade of St. Louis calling upon the rail- roads to make this change, and promising their business to those roads which thus rec- Ognize the plain right of St. Louis to be made aterminal point for all railroads receiving through freight to the city proper, will be sent to the Eastern general offices of all the roads interested, with requests from the as- sociated wholesale trade that prompt action be taken in the matter. ORGANIZED EFFORT. In addition to this the Merchants’ Ex- change, the Mercantile Club and other lead- ing commercial and manufacturing organiza- tions will at once take up the movement, and in co-operation with the wholesale trade and | the Autumnal Festivities Association will push it vigorously onward with the determi- nation to stop only when success has been attained. A most confident outline of the situation as it stands at present is officially given out to- day. According to this statement the posi- tion inthe movementto make St. Louls the recognized terminus for freight coming to St. Louis is as follows: The only roads now outstanding and main- taining the objectionable system of having their St. Louls terminal depots in Kast St. Louls are the Ohio & Mississippi, the Wabash, the Big Four andthe Chicago & Alton rail- roads. Of these, the three first-named are counted onassafe to recognize the just demands of the wholesale trade of St. Louis the moment they become impressed with the fact that the movement to secure that recognition is or- ganized on a basis which means the giving of the bulk of St. Louis business to those roads that thus recognize the rights of St. Louis. It is stated that the only reason why the Chicago & Alton road is not to be counted on to accede to these demands Is that the Chica- go & Alton is under contract for a number of years with the Wiggins Ferry Co. and the St. Louls Transfer Co. tohandle its St. Louis freight from the East side. The statementis also made that Dr. Wm. Taussig, President of the Terminal Rallroad Association, which does business over the Gould bridge, has already stated that his company was not opposed tothe movement tomake St. Louis the recognized terminal point and would place no obstacles in the way of the movement. Under these circumstances, and taking this announced outline of the position as correct, sition of a pronounced nature to be expected, it is stated, will come from the Wiggins Ferry Co. and the St. Louis Trans- fer Co., and perhaps the delay caused by the reluctance of some roads to partially aban- don their East St. Louls terminal facilities, and make the necessary investments in ter- minal property on this side. The authorita- tive statement that the Gould intesest, as represented by the Eads Bridge and the Ter- Minat Railroad Association, will not oppose the movement, gives an entirely new aspect to the situation. It may arise from the fact thatinthe present movement the question of the bridge arbitrary has been given no place, andcuts no figure in the de- mands now made by the wholesale trade of St. Louis. GENERAL MANAGER HAY’S POSITION, As to the willingness of these railroads now haying their terminal depots in Kast St. Louts to estahlish same on this side,it is stated that General Manager Chas. M. Hays of the Wabash Road has already placed himself on record for that road as being willing to make that change, and this statement was con- firmed this ay A Post- DISPATCH re- porter called at Mr. Hays’ office to obtaina definite expression on the subject. He was told that Mr. Hays was out of the city. ‘*But,’’ said the'Wabash General Manager’s private secretary, ‘'Mr. Hays has already announced that the Wabash road was willing to make the change of terminals from Louis to S&t. Louls, He about a year ago, when this question was first informally brought up. The Ohio & Mississippi and the Big Four have no representatives in this city author- ized to speak for them on this important sub- ect, and an expression those roads will ve tocome from their eastern headquar- ters. It is thought that there will be no aa stated, the Obicngo & alt s , the cago on road, owin to its contract with fhe Wi F 4 and ioe St. Louls Transfer to pat shoot the other roads come in, as is confidently counted on, the movement will be a complete success and St. Louis will have gained the rignstal advantage of being rec- Ognized as the terminal point for its own freight trafic. JNO. C. WILKINSON'S VIEWS. One of the questions Involved in the move- ment ts that of a readjusting of freight rates which will De made necessary by the chan of termini,and in discussing the movement general this morning, Mr. John U. Wilkinson of the gadine-NcKittrick Dry Gonds Co. one of the leaders of the movement, touched on this point: ‘‘As to a ssible increase in through Louls,’ ve tha itself satisfactorily. 7 * of not make a trip either way vs greatiy ilessen- on thi Wit! rights, and by pa recognize such ri MR.

DR. TAUSSIG’S POSITION. ral Manager of the Hailroad Assoeiation and e & Tunnel Co., was seen this afternoon by a Post-DispaTca reporter and asked to Speaet his company’s attitude on the terminus uestion. **The statement made that the company is opposing the movement,’’ said Dr. Taussig, ‘*is erroneous, and was made without my acta Sov, seenon the subject. I do not 538 ow anyone suppose that we are antagonistic to the movement, andIdo not Know from what source the statement emanated that we were, but it is altogether wrong. It was prejudging the case without seeing all the parties interested. This company ts offering no obstacles to the success of the movement. That is alll care to say on the subject at present.’’ LILLIAN, JOHN L. AND NOONAN. A Distinguished Box Party at the Opening Bali Game. Seldom in the history of St. Loais has such a gathering been seen as was in attendance at fhe opening ofthe base ball season yes- terday. It was not the miscellaneous mob of thirty-second degree cranks, it was not the push, northe Chicago delegation that was unusual. It wasthecompany inthe box of the Boss President, Christian Von der Ahe. The box contained nothing but stars of the first magnitude, stars political; pugilistic, theatrical and romances’. The bunch of stars distracted the attention from the game, and no wonder—Lillian Russell, the singer and acknowledged beauty was there, and around her were John L. Sulilvan, whose further identification would be an insult to blic; Bdward A, é on der Ahe. Invisible under the brilliancy of the stars a Post-DISPATCH reporter stood near the en- trance of the box feasting his eyes upon the light and listening eagerly to hear such words te) as might be dropped. **Miss Russell, Mr. Sullivan.’’ ‘*Miss Russell, His Honor, Mayor Noonan.’’ **Mayor Noonan, Mr. John L. Sullivan. Ah, you know him. I beg pardon,’’ and so on went the Boss President, introducing the celebrities to each other, The game began Sullivan mumbling ‘‘chestnuts’’ when ‘‘Comrades’’ was payee by the band, and Mayor Noonan looked slightly guilty. ‘‘Why do they call your nine four-time winners, Mr. Ahe?’’ asked Miss Russell. ‘*Because dey four times has von the pen- nant,’’ said Chris with pride. ‘*I have a record of five victories at a cost of less than $2,000,’’ said His Honor. ‘‘I shall put that in my speech to-night.’" . Sullivan looked four ways at once, and, going into his tnside poeket, pulled outa column list of his victories clipped from a newspaper. ‘‘Trow yer optic over dat when a acs time.’’ he said as he handed it to Miss ussell. Silence prevailed a few moments and they watched the game. Crooks, the Browns second baseman, wascoaching at third and yelling across at Werden, who held the line at first. ‘*That fellow has a good voice and good lungs,’’ said Miss Russell. ‘‘He might make a good man to carry a chorus.”’ ‘He petter be goot,’’ said Citris. me more as Verden ofer dere.’’ ‘*‘Heain’t got no lungs,’’ said Sullivan. ‘*One funny punch in de wind *ud put him to sleep easy.’’ ‘*‘Now it’san odd thing Mayor. ‘‘It is not always ijang power that tells.

Strange Action of the School Board on Mr. Forman’s Charges. ACOUSED DIRECTORS SHOW AN AVER- SION TO BEING INVESTIGATED. The Contract for Elevators in the New Polytechnic Building Awarded to the Highest Bidder Despite the Protests of the Lowest and Oharges That Boo- dlé Was Used—Forman’s Statement. The School Board last night did not investi- gate the charges made by Vice-President Forman of the Standard Elevator Co., and awarded very hastily two contracts which were of anature to suffer from longer ex- posure to criticism and investigation. The Board also found that it was necessary to retrace its steps a little and reject some of the contracts asked for, not for any fault in the bids, but because of the pecullar action of the Cudmore-Bus-Waite Investigation Committee, Aé matters stand now, the specific charges of Mr. Forman have not been presented to the Board, and no specific denials were made. The contracts for four Otis electric eleva- tors were Jet to the Hale Elevator Co. for $17,875, and the contract for wiring the building for electric lights was let to Phillips & Kelly for $5,773. At last night’s meeting when the board had reached the stage of reading letters and com- munications, Secretary Player announced that he had a letter to the board from Mr. George L. Forman, Vice-President of the Standard Elevator Co, Director Cudmore, against whom the charges were supposed to be the most severe, jumped to his teet and objected to the read- ing of the communication. He supposed that it was preferring charges against ‘him, and he did not want to be investigated. Mr. Bus, another member of the same com- mittee, objected alsoand went a little fur- ther by calling Mr. Forman a great many names, which were rather out of place in a deliberative body. Director Rutledge, with the same mind- reading faculty as his two predecessors on the floor, said that Mr. Forman’s statements were false and that he was a scoundrel un- worthy of consideration. Mr. Brady said plainly that Mr. Forman was a Mar and straightway challenged him to step forth and substantiate his statements (stillin the sealed envelope and as yet unknown.) Mr. Fisse ina more deliberate manner sug- gested that it was a bad idea to avoid in- vestigation or appear to fear it when the persons accused were innocent. He thought that inasmuch as public charges had been made, a public refutation of them should foliow. Mr. Brockman backed up Mr. Fisse and suggested that it would bea very good idea, too, to learnwhat theenvelope contained. A resolution was offered to file the letter un- “yead. This was lost. THE LETTER READ. After some more dickeringthe letter was openedand read. It contained no charges whatever. Mr. Forman explained that he had intended to prepareastatement upon the matter of his eb oegg charges, but that he had lacked sufficient time. He asked that the awards therefore be postponed until he could present bts facts, witich he would do at the earliest possible moment. This letter was acc6m panied by letters from St. Louis business houses indorsing the character of Mr. For- man. Messrs. Bus and Cudmore wondered for a while if they bad not half way entered a plea of guilty by their hasty denials of charges not yet officially made. No action was taken on the letter and the communication was filed. After a great deal of argument and talk the contracts for the elevators iorthe new library buliding were awarded and alsofor wiring the building. MR. FORMAN’S STATEMENT. Mr. Forman, the much-denounced Vice- President of the Standard Elevator Co., ar- rivedin the city to-day, bringing with him the statement he had asked the board to wait for, and in which he reiterates his formal charges. His statement Its as follows: Tothe President and Members of the St. School Board: GENTLEMAN—The Standard Elevator Co., in con- nection with other elevator makers, were invited to submit proposals for‘the elevators for the Board of Education Building, also known as the New Poly- technic Building, and were furnished with scpeciii- cations for these elevators md your architect. These specifications described clearly the require- ments of the building and there can be no uncer- tainty as to the kind of elevator service to be consgid- ered which was as follows: One steam passenger elevator. One steam freight elevator to travel between base- ment and fourth floor. Two hydraulic passenger elevators, one to travel tween the basement and seventh floor, and one be- ween the first and seventh floors. ) All these elevators were described on the first page Louis fot the specification, the second page being devoted to a description of the pumping plant and a list of the extra work required in connection with the elevators. No reference was made to electric elevatorsin any way on either the tirst or the secoed page of the specification. The third page of the specifications contains but two lines, which read as follows: ‘*Bids for electric elevators. direct machines, for the two elevators in the store compartments can be submitted.’’ At the time proposals were advertised for and SPoee specifications issued there can be no doubt but that it was the intention to adoptthe hydraulic sys- tem for the passenger elevators traveling to the sev- enth floor, and thatif electric elevators were to be considered in any way it was only as an alternate bid and substitute for the two elevators to be used for store service. Believing fully in the good faith of your honorable board, the Standard Elevator Co. prepared drawings and specifications for the elevator plant co conform exactiy with the architect’s specifications and sub- mitted them with a proposal for the work. When all the proposals had been received and opened it was found that the bid ofthe Standard Elevator Co. was the lowest of all received. While not presuming to question the legal right of our board to reject any particular bid. we are at a oss to understand why we were invited to submita proposal, if it was not to be considered. We take it for granted that it will not be ques- tioned that hydraulic and steam elevators have eer en to be satisfactory to the pubiie for years. hey are time-tested and time-tried, and to give a list of the buildings in which theyare used would to enumerate every commercial and public building of a importance, not alone in this city and State. but throughout the length and breadth of this great me The elevators described in the architect’s specifi- cations and offered ih our proposal (which was the lowest received by your honorable board) are similar in character te those in use in the United States Gov- York, Boston, Phila- deiphia, Cincinnati, St. Leuis, Chicago, Kansas City, Memphis and Washington. They are like in character to those in use in the State buildings of New York, Massachusetts, Indiana, lllinois and lowa. They are the same as has been adopted for the Se- curity Building, Telephone Building the Bank of juilding, the Equitable Building, the Commercial Builaing, the Wainwright Building, the Giobe-Democrat Building, the Mercantile Club, the Columbia and Rialto Buidings in this city; the asonic Temple, the poetry the Board of Trade, ‘the Court-house and i Hall Buildings, the Mon- dnock, Kearsage, University and Athletic Club uildings in Chicago. They are in use in the United State Capitol Build- ings, the buildings of the State, War, Navy, Treas- ury and Inferior epartmentsin Washington. In the face of these facts, which cannot but be pat- ent to ——. one interested in this letting, what did your committee do Did they inquire whether the system under which they had invited bids was one which was found to be satisfactory and in universal use throughout the country? Did they after tabulating the bids take up the low- est bias offered to determine whether it was for a system which had been tested a thousand times and found to be practically perfcet and whether it would answer the requirements of the library building? No. Instead of cansidering the lowest bid re- ceived, and instead of adopting the system which they had advertised for, and which had been so uai- veréally made use of they took up the proposal which cost the most; they selected the highest, the vom hest, ofailthe nine sals submitted, an ed where can we seethis system in operation. They found but one example of its use in this city, in but one building it had been adopted.

New Orleans cieared 115,600 bu wheat to Rouen and 112,600 bu corn to Copenhagen yesterday. The shipments by barges yesterday were 44,599 bu. wheat and 145,979 bu. corp to New Orleans. Advices from Lincoln, Neb., say: Heaviest rain of the season isin progress; no grain moving and elevators empty. A Duluth telegram says: too cold and wet to plow or seed. have ever known. Shipments of wheat last week from Eastern Europe, Australia and South America were 2,080,- 000 bu, exceeding the week before by 800,000 000 bu. Bradstreet’s visible supply of wheat shows a de- crease of 2,319,000 bu east of the Rockies and 110,- 000 bu on the Pacific Coast; corn decreased 749, bu and oats decreased 698, bu. The Jamestown (N, D,) Alert says threshing in that vicinity has developed the fact that the wheat in stacks has wintered badly and is so wet that it will not run from the spout. Itis worthiess except for stock feed, and will heatand spoilintime. Shocked grain is frozen fast to the ground. J. R. Dodge, Statistican of the Department of A - riculture, furnishes the following statement: f the 171, Obu of invisible stocks wheat, 24,- 000, 000 bu are in twenty-two States and territories that cannot spare a bushel to commerce, anda in fif- teen not lessthan 65, bu are required for bread and seed leaving only $2,000, O00 bu available, of which scarcely 50,000,000 bu can be forced into commercial distribution at Eo oo prices. Farthe larger part of available supply is now visible in com- mercial elevators.’’ Prime crop report, Ap 12.—Reports from Cen- tral Lilinois on oats show at two-thirds of the crop has been sown and that the early sown oats are sprouted. There are not many oats back in farmers’ hands. Reports from important winter wheat countries in pe wie Illinois say that the late wheat is ming out better than was expected, but that the stand ie thin on the ground; should the wéather turn drv, the lake wheat would suffer very much. The cold weatber recently has been beneficial to the crop, as it has held it back and tended to make it thicker on the ground. From Sonthern Indiana indications for winter wheat is fair, but the crop will not be as large as the ag J of 189], under the most favorable circumstances a wheat has not made a good stand, is thin on the ground and from 3 to 6 inches high. Although somewhat impeded by the present un- settied weather, agricultural work in France is being prosecuted with ail possible dispatch. In some of the Belgian agricultural districts the winter-killed wheat has had to be resown. The recent fine weath- er, however, was most advantageous to the crops, the prospects of which are evidentiy improving. The crop outlook is satisfactory in the northern provinces of Holland, but not promising in others, while in several place; the frost-affected autumn sown wheat will have to be reseeded or replaced with spring grain. Reports from Hungary are unanimous in represent- ing that the growing crops have passed through the winter exceedingly well. The early sown autumn wheat and rye exhibit vigorous growth, and on the whole arein good form; but the later sown show soine deterioration through the dry weather and tne ravages of vermin. British agricultural advices represent that fine and mild days with slight showers in some parts of the country are much needed for the back ward wheat, which has not found the last six weeks at all genial. Springs sowings are proceeding apace, and it is the general opinicn that the oats and barley acreage of last year will be once more reached this season.

Corn, as_well as wheat, was declared, would be affected by the soontiiond. In addition killing frosts were reported from Oregon. A gloomy view of the general ation was taken by Jd. R. Dodge, statistician, whose utterances were given extensive circylation. He was quoted as saying: “Of the 171, bu of wheat in the visibie stocks, 24,000,000 are in thirty-two States and Ter- ritories that cannot spare a bushel to commerce and not less than 65, ,000 are required for bread , leaving only 82,000, 000 available, of which scarcely | ems 000'can be forced into distribution by pres ent prices.

SPORTING SPREAD. — ‘Ed Corrigan’s Splendid Stable of Run- ning Horses. SOME OF THE PERFORMANCES OF RILEY AND HURON REVIEWED. Chicago Defeats the Browns in the Open- | ing Game of the Season-—The Linden Race Track Sold to the Pennsylvania Railroad— Heffelfinger Leaves Yale— Sporting News in General. Among the Western stables there are two that impress the average turfman as being particularly strong this season and these are Edward Corrigan’s and Scoggan Bros.’, both of whose colors have often been seen in front of the flying squadrons on our local tracks, writes Hyder Ali. The strength ofthe first- named lies particularly in its grand lot of 3- year-olds,all of whom are bred in the purple, while it isalso very strong inthe all-aged division. It istothe 38-year-olds, however, that Mr. Corrigan looks to swell his bank ac- count, and with Huron, Phil Dwyer, Lew Weir, Mariner, Cesar and Cicero to fall back upon it must be admitted that his chances to do so are at this writing of the rgsiest. The animals inthis string have already afrived at Memphis and reports from the horsemen at the track’ go to show that Dame Rumor has for once not exaggerated when speaking of their good looks and racing qualities. In speaking of Huron it may be well to say right here that his race in the Futurity was a far better performance even than the general public has given the colt credit for. In the first place there has for years existed a bitter feeling between Mr. Corrigan and Starter Caldwell, and the latter would in no case give a wearer of the green with white sash anything like an even breakaway if he could avoid it. This fact was well Known to the master of Hawthorne, who instructed Overton to break away in front every time with Huron and get a shade the best of the start. There were quite a number of breakaways in every one of which Huron showed the way, but jt was not Cald- well’s intention to let them go under such circumstances. When the flag finally fell Huron was inthe sixteenth place. The field was a large one, and yet Huron after being interfered with several times during the race, managed to get through, and was only beaten a neck by His Highness. Had the pair gotten off together the result might have been, and probably would have:been, reversed. W hether or not Huron will start at any of the earlier spring meetings I have no means of knowing, but I am told on pretty good authority that, bar- ring accidents, he will goto the post in the Garfield Park Derby, and that Mr. Corrigan depends ainly on him tocarry off the biz event there. A horseman lately from the South fays he saw this son of Iroquois and Brunette work a mile easily in 1:46 at Mobile in company with Riley, which goes to show that the colt is even now in the very best of condition. No matter what he may do down the line he will bear watching at Garfield P ark. I would advise the boys to ‘stick a pin’’ right here. The Scoggan string hasa good 3-year-old in Miss Knott, but its strength lies mainly in its 2 year-olds, the most of whom are the get of Buchanan, a Kentucky Derby winner, and in the stakes forthisage their entries will take a lotof beating.

Rose- BASE BALL, The base ball championship season was fn- augurated at Sportsman’s Park yesterday afternoon in the presence of 8,160 spectators, the largest attendance at any opening game in the country. The contest was not a brilliant one by any means, and the home club did not make a particularly favorable impression, there being a woeful lack of team work. However, they may pick up in this respect. Glasscock himself was particularly off yesterday and played a miserable flelding game. It wasa slugging contest in which the visitors outsiugged St. Louts. In fact the Browns are scarcely a match for Chicago Anson and Jimmy Ryan for Chicago an cise oe for St. Louis ali hit for home runs. mbert the Chicago pitcher, was injured ns the o third inning and ve way to pay eo Gleason was batted 20. hard " -- ain . £ + ? ‘ . ie a " iat aes ke, 3 § Bei 4 . ‘ " — : ‘ 4 e oe . 4 oF > - ‘ hee ry ier a » OUR MODERN METHODS, Progressive ideas, capitalistic strength, and capacity to buy and distribute goods in enormous quantities, enables us to place our PRICES FAR BELOW the pale of competition.

He was then I8 yearsold. After five years patrol duty in the Fiiteenth District he was assigned to duty as rouudsman in the Third. In 1869 he was made Sergeant, and a year later Captain. His first command was the Twenty-third Pre- cinct. He was transferred successively to the Twenty-first and Fifteenth Precincts, and to the Broadway squad. In 1878 he was sent to headquarters in charge of the de- tective squad. He was made Inspector two years later. At his request the Legislature created the detective bureau on May 25, 1882, and the detective force as now in opera- tion was established. No man has been more constantly before _the public as a thief-catcher than Inspector . In his twenty-eight yeurs service he has never been found i of any in- fringement of the Big « of the department. A list of the arrests — by ope and of mysteries unravel would many columns.
