BY CARRIER, FIFTEEN CENTS PER WEEK, — —ę— nn — FULL OF HOPE, Manager Frick's Physicians Be- lieve That He Will Recover. But It Will Be Months Before He Can Resume His Duties. | ANARCHIST BERKEMAN REGRETS THAT HIS AIM WAS NOT BETTER. Born and Reared in St. Petersburg—A Supposed Accomplice Arrested To- Day—O’Donnell and His Companions Released on $10,000 Bond-The Fun- ishment of Militiaman Iams—Notice to Old Employes Posted at Homestead. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 2%5.—Chairman Henry ©, Frick of the Carnegie CO. did not come down to his office this morn- ing, as he jokingly assured his associates that he would when he was carried tothe ambulance on Saturday night. Nor Is it probabie that he will be seen at his aesk for many months to come. Reports from his residence this morning are to the effect that he passed a restful night, despite the close- ness of the atmosphere, His extraordinary vitality was demonstrated yesterday, for although it was the hottest day that Pitts~- burg has experienced in nearly ten years, his wounds gave him apparently little trouble, while mentally he was bright and active. His wounds ware examined and dressed this morning. There were not the faintest traces of blood poisoning or of any greater amount of inflammation than would be ex- pected under the circumstances, and results of the examination were decidedly encourag- ing both to his surgeons and their patient. Atter the examination, Mr. Frick asked for the morning papers and read with interest the account of the movements of the would- be assassin during Sunday and the inter- views had with him. As to the future of the sufferer,the surgeons say that it will not be possible for him to leave his bed evento walk about the room for a month or six weeks at the earliest. It may be longer, but unless blood poisoning or some other unlooked for development should supervene, they believe that he will im- prove rapidly and recover completely. They are particularly concerned about the gashes on the under side of the leg, just above the knee, which were made by the assailant’s knife. These almost severed the tendons, and will occasion excruciating pains at intervals for many weeks to come. Although the corps of surgeons take turns in attendance upon the wounded man they in- clude the most eminent skill in the city. It was decided last night to telegraph to an eminent New York specialist asking him to come here at once to make a personal ex- amination of the patient and advise concern- ing the treatment. This morning, however, a reply was received that the specialist in question, but whose name the surgeons will not give out, had gone to California, and thereupon it was decided to seek the ald of another noted surgeon, whoit issaid is at present in Washington. A WARNING LETTER. The fact has been developed that on Satur - day Mr. Frick received in his morning mail a letter, which informed him he would dle be- fore the nextday. He passed it over to one his associates with a joking remark, ‘‘ I have but twenty-four hours tolive.’’ Afterwards he placed the missive in one of the pigeon holes in his desk. He referred tothe matter last night and to-day it is being investigated. It is not thought, however, to have any con- nection with Berkman’s action. The would-be assassin was quietly taken last night from the Central Station tothe County Jail, where he will remain until his trial in September. He was booked for feloni- ous assault, the maximum penalty for which is but seven years, but other charges are to be added. He will remaln in jail until his trial in Sep- tember. A week from to-day he will be brought before Alderman Gripp, but this will be a formality only to meet with the require- ments ofthelaw. He admitted to Warden McAlease that Berkman was not his right mame, although he had borne it since his arrival in this country, Dut the closest ques- tioning could not induce him to reveal his name by which he was known in his native land. There is a good deal of mystery sur- rounding his recent movements, which has yet to be penetrated, At the time of his arrest he saidthat he had only come from New York the day before and had passed but one night in the city, yet he has been identi- fied by several men who have seen him over and around the Carnegie building for a full week. When first seen he was dressed like a tramp, andinthe interval he must have re- ceived remittances toenable him to purchase the new suit of clothes and the revolver and dirk. When arrested his entire resources were a 5-cent nickel. It is also said that he was seen at Homestead on Wednesday. LOOKING FOR ACCOMPLICES, The local detectives are bending all their energies to discover whether or not the mur- derous Russian had any accomplices with him in this city anda vigorous search Is be- ing made fora man answering the descrip- not Aaron Stamm, who was Berkman’s boon companion in New York, and whois said to have disappeared from his usual haunts in that city. When Berkman was dogging the entrance to the Duquesne Club, where fir. Frick lunched on Saturday, he was accompanied, so say several of the members, by a man whom ey recollect as being attired in a suit of blue black cloth, but of whose facial characteristics they are un- able to give any clear description. It is thought that this fellow was an accomplice of the anarchist and waited at the bottom of the stairs with the intention of assisting him to escape, but took flight after the fring of the shots and the assembling of the crowd. Berkman, however, appears to have been all alone when he registered at the Merchants’ Hotel on Friday night. Superintendent of Police O’Mara left last night for New York forthe purpose of con- ferring with Inspectur Steers regarding the ibility of the attack being the outgrowth ofaconspiracy among that section of an- archists 30 which Berkman belonged. He took with him several photo phs of the prisoner and also, itis believed, private pa- rs found in his clothing, which are likely 2 prove of value in the investigation at the New York. Ooncernin however, the police au refuse to say a work. AN IMPORTANT AKREST. the latter matter orities at this end timo a man. night ierstand 4 a small crowd that he had the wa from that 1 walked alt uare during th ig entirely THE ONLY FEAR. At1 o’clock this afternoon word was re- ceived from Mr. Frick's home that he was resting easy and the hopes of his recove were very bright. The = thi feared now is the warm weather, have some effect on his recov Litchfield is constantly at the man’s ide, and will not leave it, although he says he has nothing to fear. The constant watch is wart ane to prevent, if possible any complications from setting in. Mr. Fric was in a most cheerful m this morning. Almost the first thing he did wus to ask how everythin was getting along at Homestead. A number of messages of inquiry and sympathy were received from different points of the coun- try. These were Regt away from him fora time, but afterward he insisted on having them read to him and he dictated the an- swers. At Mr. Frick’s office there were numerous callers all — 2 who were all anxious about Mr. Frick’s health. Secretary Love- Joy spent most ofthe morning in Mr. Leish’s office, which adjoins Mr. Frick’s. During the morning a picture of the offices was taken. These pictures areto be used as evidence in Berkman’strial. Secretary Lovejoy said: **Nothwithstanding Mr.; Frick’s absence, we are getting along just as usual. As r- haps you are alrea y aware 200 additional men went to work this morning at Home- stead, and more will follow. Of course the affair on Saturday caused great excitement in regard to work, but things are moving, and we anticipate no trouble. BERKMAN TALKS OF HIS CRIME. Berkman or Bergman, the would-be slayer of Mr. Frick, passed a quiet night at the County Jail. He arose at 6 o’clock tnis morn- ing, and the first person he saw was Gen, McAleese. His first question was in reference to Mr. Frick’s condition. The Warden in- formed him that Mr. Frick would recover. Well, I am sorry for that, said Berg- man. Just at this time one of the guards came along and left a loaf of bread and some fresh water in Bergman's cell. PO ay ae that?’’ asked the young Anar- chist. Why, that’s your breakfast,’’ said the warden. Is that allI get? The other prison I was in Saturday gave me eggs and coffee. Can't ; get a little ham and eggs for my break- ast?’’ **That is our regular fare and you will have to live on it. How many meals do I get a day?’’ Three, said Warden McAleese, witha smile. Are they all like this one?“ he asked. On, no; we have some variety. At what time do I get the three meals. Well, you get your breakfast now, and at dinner time you get two meals, said the Warden with a smile. Don't I get any supper?“ Les, you get that at dinner time. This is a great place to live, he said and then started on other subjects. BORN IN 8T. PETERSBURG. **I was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, and was educated at the Gymnasium, one of the leading colleges at that place. I speak wer nod English,’’ said he to the warden, ‘‘as ave to take it from the Latin. ‘*What do the people say about my act,“ said he, rapidly changing the subject. They say it was a most cowardly act and you have no sympathizers.’’ Oh, yes Ihave, he replied. ‘*‘I knowthe people will be with me and I am sorry I made a baa job of it.“ ae **Weil don’t you know if Mr. Frick dies you will be hanged, and if he ives you will have a long term in the penitentiary?““ I know allthat. I looked the matter up and am willing to stand the consequences, no matter what they are. ‘*‘What dothe newspapers say about me?“ was the next question. They say you are a bum printer, who only earned $8 per week, was the reply. That comes from the capitalistic press. I was a job printer and know all about the business. In fact I always earned the high est salary. Some people seem to think I had some confederates, butthat isa mistake. I did the whole thing myself and all credit be- longstome. The workingmen of this coun- try are with me in this affair.“ The young man then asked for a newspa- per. e said he wanted to see what they said about him. It is probabie the warden will grant the request. Father Griffin was at the jailthis morning and said the Gynasium at St. Petersburg, the college Bergman referred to, was one of the best colleges in Russia. The man speaks four different languages. Warden McAleese says it is his opinion that the man is not crazy. Officer Thompson of Greensburg, who is color-bearer ofthe Tenth Regiment, called at the jail this morning. He saw an article in one of the newspapers which stated that Bergman wasthe man who was arrested in Greensburr some time ago. As he was the arresting officer he wanted to see if he could identify the man under arrest. Bergman with four other men was called up and after looking at all the men Officer Thompson saidthat none ofthem was the one arrested in Greensburg. RELEASED ON BOND. O'DONNELL AND HIS COMPANIONS ADMITTED TO BAIL BY JUDGE MAGEE. PITTSBURG. Pa., July 2.—A large crowd was present this morning in the Criminal Court to hear the decision of Judge Magee on the application of Hugh O’Donnell, the Homestead leader, for release on bail. O’Donnell was less nervous than during his hearing Saturday, and seemed to be confi- dent of his release. The court and attorneys were somewhat late, and it was some after the hour for open- ing before Judge Magee began to render his decision. O’Donnell, Fay, Ross and Allen were brought into court at 9:35 o’Clock. Judge Magee said: J have gone over the case carefully. The right to be admitted to ball is a constitu- tional right and there must be evidence or strong presumption of murder in the first de- gree before a man can be refused bail. I have indicated before the og gre perl or those engaged in this riot and 1 need say no more here. The flrst shots came from the shore. There was deviilsh malignancy on the part of the mob. The evidence shows that the defendant was not an active participant. It shows that he was in sympa- thy with the crowd and he, by his idly stand- ing by, is responsible for the acts. I do not think there is any doubt about the right of the prisoner to be bailed, and we'll fix it at $10,000. The ! it stands he is chargeable with murder in the second degree.’’ District Atturney Burleigh: ‘‘Under your Honor’s ruling we are content tothe other on ena being admitted in the same ail.’ The court then proceeded to accept bail and the defendants were released. O'DONNELL RETURNS TO HOMESTEAD. HOMESTBAD, Pa., July 25.—Hugh O'Donnell returned to Homestead at 12:30 o’clock to- day. He avoided a demonstration in his honor by taking a Baltimore & Ohio train which landed him at Salt Works station across the river from Homestead and crossed to the Homestead side on the ferry. Many people who saw him as he walked from the ferry landing with three friends who had accompanied him from Pittsburg to his residence on Fifth avenue. where his wife was waiting to receive him with open arms, did not recognize him. Mr. O'Donnell took the secretive mode of return to Homestead to avoid any possibility of trouble that might arise from a demonstra- tion of welcome by his fellow workmen. Persons curious to know how a man acts when he is released from prison walls and knows he is free once more will be interested in the story of Mr. O’Donnell’s movements from the time he left the Court-house until he reached his cozy little home in Homestead. When Judge Magee discharged him O’ Donnell went out of the Court-house by the back en- trance as if about to return to jail, while a do, gave'the area crowd of spectatore „ eave 0 ors un- that he was to remain inside the rison until 4'o’clock. This caused a partial ispersement of the crowd. On the bridge between tbe Court-house and the jail, Mr. O'Donnell stopped for nearly half an hour and received the congratulations of a num- ber of his acquaintances, who were there. Then with three friends he walked to Maloney’s restaurant, where he ate a sand- wich and drank a glass of ale. He was jubilant in his expressions and acted likea man ot on a holiday. At Ma- loney’sa hack was secured and the part was driven to the Natatorium: where all took ‘a th. O'Donnell was like a school box just released from school. He dived and splashed and shouted and showed in many other ways his keen enjoy- ment. m the Natatorium the four men were driven to the Merchants’ Hotel opposite the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad station, where more sanpwiches were indulged in. Just as the 12:40 train drew near the station 8 Y made a rush for it and in this manner escaped the notice Mr. O'Donnell would have attracted had he stood on the platform. Mr. O'Donnell and his three companions left the train at Salt Works Station. The trip acros the river and the walk to O’Donnell’s house was made without incident. The members of the Advisory Committee had been notified of Mr. O’Donnell’s plans for returning and they managed to keep the Streets in the vicinity of O’Donnell’s resi. Gence free of people. about a dozen 2 saw Mr. O'Donnell as he came from he river and ran forward to congratulate him. Several women made attempts at os - culatory demonstrations. FINAL PEACE OFFERING. THE COMPANY'S ORDER POSTED AT HOMESTEAD UNDER CARNEGIE’S DIRECTION. HOMESTEAD, Pa., July 2.—The orders signed by Mr. Frick and posted at the Home- stead Works this morning, to the effect that men returning to work would be insured against removal, is regarded as the final peace Offering of the firm tothe strikers. In this connection a representative of the firm makes an important statement. ‘‘Even if Mr. Frick should die,“ he said, ‘‘the policy of the management in the present crisis will be strictly adhered to. The state- ment that Mr. Carnegie is not in full accord with Mr, Frick inthe course the latter has pursued of late, is absolutely and unquali- fedly untrue. It can be proven beyond per- adventure, if necessary, that r. Frick bas been but aes | out the plans formulated by Mr. arnegie himself. As for our present position, we are still willing to confer with such of our employes as are worthy of our confidence. But we will do no talking through a confer- ence committee, composed of men notin our employ. Nor will we recognize the assump- tion that these strikers have a right to per- manent employment, whether their services are satisfactory or not. Hereafter we will do business on the old-fashioned plan that we can hire any man who wishes to work for us. It is ungerstood that orders will be issued to-day by the Carnegie agen g = 4 to the su- perintendent and foreman of the Duquesne Millto start up with non-unionlabor. The men at this mill struck on friday out of sym- pat y for the men at Homestead. The fast west-bound mail express on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which is not sched- uled to stop at Swissvale, made a stop near that place this morning, and two day coaches with the blinds closely drawn were uncoupled there. After the train had moved out, the cars were unlocked and over 200 men alighted, The steamer Little Bill was in waiting at the landing at City Farm Station, close by the camp of the Fourteenth Regiment, and the men were taken over the river to 1 in batches, They are said to be skilled steel workers from New York, Philadelphia and Boston, CARNEGIE IS SILENT, HE REFUSES TO ANSWER LETTERS OR TELE- GRAMS ABOUT HOMESTEAD. LONDON, July 2.—Immediately upon re- ceipt in this city Saturday of the news of the shooting of H. C. Frick, chairman of the Carnegie Steel Co., efforts were made to gain communication with Mr, Andrew Carnegie, who is now in Scotland, to obtain a state- ment from him in regard to the attack upon Mr. Frick, but this was impossible as Mr. Carnegie is ensconsed in Bannoch Lodge, on Lochbannoch, the nearest telegraph and railway station to which is thirty- five miles distant. He has taken all possible precautions to prevent any person from obtaining access to him and has positively refused to answer any tele- grams or letters in any way connected with the affairsat Homestead. Mr. Car- negie has preserved the same moody silence toward all the members of the American legation here, and other persons in London with whom heis usually in communication have not hearda word from him since the beginning of the troubles at Homestead. The news of the shooting of Mr. Frick has in- tensified the feeling of all classes against Mr. Carnegie. A largely attended meeting of the labor representative leagues was heid in this city yesterday, at which a resolution was adopted strongly condemning the course of Mr. Car- negie in regard to the Homestead troubles. The resolution added that, should Mr. Carnegie insult British workmen by further philanthropic efforts in their be- half it was hoped that they would show their detestation of him by contemptuously re- fusing to accept any offers of help from him. UNDER POLICE GUARD. THE PITTSBURG MILLS OF THE CARNEGIE co. NOT YET RUNNING. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 25.—The approaches tothe Thirty-third street gate of the Car- negie Co. are guarded this morning by a large detachment of police, It is now settled that an effort will be made to put several hun- dred men in this mill as soon as possible. No strangers havearrived at the works. Only the hands employed right along since the shut-down ten days ago are on duty, but everything about the interior of the depart- ment indicates that they arein readiness for work. The furnaces are lighted, as they have been for the past few days. The locked-out men are taking matters coolly. One said to- day that he could not see why officers were needed when no demostration on the strikers’ part bad been made so far. It is in- ferred that the firm could put men in the mills without any molestation. On the other hand several of the present working force think that precaution is one of the necessa- ries just at the present state of affairs. The statement that the city mills of the company were to start to-day is denied by Secretary Lovejoy, who stated that the com- any was in no hurry with these works. Mr. ovejoy said: The great fight is at Home- stead and to that we will give our undivided attention and when we win it the other mat- ters will be easily settled. CRUSADE AGAINST PINKERTON, AN APPEAL TO GOV. FLOWER BY THE NEW YORK WAITERS’ UNION. New York, July 2.—A Vigorous crusade against Pinkerton men, the initiative in which has been taken by the members of the New YorkWaiters’ Union, has just been start- ed in this city. The waiters claim that Pink- erton men are employed at several near-by summer resorts, notably at Manhattan Beach and Glen Island; that this is a clear violation of the anti-Pinkerton lawrecently passed by the Legislature of this State, and that there- fore it behooves all organized workingmen to insist upon a rigid entorcement of this law. According to the waiters Pinkerton men not only actas policemen at these summer re- sorts, but also play the part of waiters and thus deprive many union waiters of an hon- est livelihood, There * kerton agency in Lexington e cies ide the | have to pay privilege of getting the jobs, and the ee on Glen Island, for example, are only a day, if they work ina restaurant, and $1.50 if they work in a saloon. As a remedy for this state of things an appeal to Gov. Flower to enforce the anti-Pinkerton law anda con- sistent boycott of all summer resorts at — Pinkerton men are employed are pro- pose A SOOIALIST ORGAN, SATISFACTION EXPRESSED WITH THE ATTEMPT ON FRICK’S LIFE, New York, July 25.—The Volks Zeitung, the organ of the Socialists in New York, says in its editorial columns: The attempt matie in Pittsburg last Saturday in its immediate effect, the bloody punishment of one of the most brutal American despoilersof labor, can only cause honest satisfaction in the hearts of all workingmen struggling for our reat cause. If this man Frick should pass n his checks as a consequence of the dose of his own medicine administered to him, we should not shed a tear. His crimes against organized labor have brought him the pun- ishment that he has merited a thousand fold. We do not deplore this act though we disap- prove of such methods. SEVERELY PUNISHED, THE FATE OF A MILITIAMAN WHO PRAISED BERKMAN’S DEED. HOMESTEAD, Pa., July 25.—Most severe pun- ishment was meted out to Militiaman Thos. Iams, private of K Company, Seventh Regi- ment, Pennsylvania National Guards, now incamp here. When the news of the at- tempted assassination of H. ©. Frick reached camp, Iams gloried over the deed and pro- posed three cheers for the Anarchist who committed it. Iams was called before his regiment, the buttons cut from his uniform and he was or- dered strung up by the thumbs as long as he could stand the punishment. Iams, who up to this point had stood flushed, but entirely self-possessed, turned the color of chalk and trembled. With another salute to his Colonel he turned and followed the corporalto the guardtent. Three regi- mental surgeons followed Iams to the guard tent. The young man soon regained his self- possession and held out his umbs for one of his fellow soldiers to tie. A stout plece of twine was tied tightly toeach thumb and Iams raised his arms while the Corporal drew the line over the tent pole. The cord was pulled by three men until Iams stood on tiptoe, and then it was made fast. The young man’s face was deathly white, but his eyes were brilliant with deter- mination, His arms were rigid with his weight and the muscles stood out stimy. The twine was cutting into his flesh, but he pressed hislips firmly together and did not allow amoanto escape him. The surgeons, watch in hand, kept their fingers on his pulse. The beats came faster and faster, and slowly the man’s head fell forward on his breast and his eyes cloged. He could no longer pressthe ground with his toes, his dead weight hung heavy onthetwine. Min- ute after minute passed away, and his pulse- beats were constantly increasing. At last one surgeon sald: ‘ One hundred and twenty beats, let him own. He was kept in the guard tent all night. Sunday morning the provisional brigade, under the command of Col. Hawkins, was ordered to assembie in parade. Three regl- ments of infantry and a battery of artillery turned out and drew up i two lines facing each other onthe parade grounds. The dis- graced soldier was brought out bya cor- poral’s guard and marched before the entire camp on the — ground, He was then drummed out of camp. What St. Louis Military Men Say. St. Louls militiamen are greatly interested inthe lams case. They regard the proceed.- ings as unjustifiably severe. Mr. C. D. Com- fort, late Colonel Commanding of the First Regiment, N. G. M., remarked this morn- ing: ‘*Il regardthe punishment, under the state- ment of facts, as altogether too severe. I presume that under the regulations they had a right to dismiss the fellow, but the string- ing up by the thumbs, and the other indigni- ties, seems more worthy of savages. I should say that the dismissal of the fellow would have been enough. I can’t see how they made treason of his offense. ‘*Suppose this case had happened under your Colonelcy?’’ „1 think I would have put the man on bread and water for forty-eight hours and then I would have given him an opportunity to retract. If he would not retract I would have recommended his dismissal. That would have been makingthe punishment fit the crime—or somewhat near it. The treat- ment of Iams was far too brutal and bar- barous.’’ Maj. J. B. Harlew was asked his opinion as to the severity ofthe punishment to which Iams was subjected. The Major said that he did not want to criticize Col. Streator’s con- duct without knowing all the circumstances ofthe case. Martial law is one thing and civillaw is another. Under martial law it is often necessary to treat men like children, and punishments are inflicted arbitrarily and (a civilian might say) capriciously. It was certainly a most unfortunate remark that lames made; he was there in the Interests of law and order, and should not have let him- self be betrayed into the utterance of inflam- matory and seditious talk. Whatever he might have thought of Frick or the Home- stead troubles, as a soldier he had no busit- ness to have an opinion, or atleast to utter it. I suppose the feeling there was so tense and inflammable that the Colonel felt justified in taking steps with Iames that civilians would think unwarrantedly severe.“ FIRES. A Suburb of West Superior Swept Away Yesterday- Wrst SUPERIOR, Wis., July 25.—The town of Iron River, Wis., forty miles east of here, was wiped out by fire late yesterday after- noon. The entire business district and build- ings of the Northern Pacific & Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic were burned, together with most of the residence district. The loss is roughiy estimated at $200,000. The fire orig- inated in a store building, two blocks south ofthe Northern Pacific Depot. The big saw- mills half a mile from town escaped, As soon as. it became evident the town was dqpmed all efforts were directed to saving personal effects. The 1,500 inhabitants were inthe smoking streets last night without shelter. A train of freight Cars was sent out by the Northern Pacific in which people put the effects they nad saved. The town was without fire protection. Before the Superior Fire Department got out of town they were recalled by a message Stating that it would be too late for service. Many Superior peo- ple are heavy losers. The town of Iron River was practically built this summer, It wasa mill town and growing rapidly. CARROLLTON CLEANED OUT.

One Victim’s Head Split Open and the Other’s Arm Chopped Off With an Ax —Samuel Maylen Killed by His Two Sons— Fight at a Picnic — Oriminal News. NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 25.—A double mur- der and attempt at suicide was enacted at Burns, near this city, this morning at 8 a’clock. Maj. J. H. Wynn, a farmer, mur- dered his wife and step-daughter with an ax, mutilating them most horribly, He after- ward made an unsuccessful attempt at sui- cide with a dirk knife. Wynn seized an ax and, rushing upon his wife, brought its blade down with terrific force upon her head, lit- terally splitting itopen. He aimed another blow at the head of his victim while it was stil attached to the trunk, and split it into three pieces. The murderer then turned upon his step- daughter, Miss Anderson, a young lady still in her teens, and attacked her with the same terrible weapon with which he had slain her mother before her eyes. Tbe poor girl threw up her right hand in an instinctive attempt to ward off the blow. The ax struck her wrist and severed her right hand from the arm. Wynn then dealt the girl some blows about the head and rushed from the house. He went to Colesburg, about two miles away, where one of his sons lives. He went to his son’s house and told the son what he had done, Maj. Wynn then attempted to end his own life with a dirk. Before he could be stopped he had dealt himself a blow in the neck, inflicting a wound about four inches deep. Winn, who was widowed about three years ago, married a widow named Mrs. Ander- son. Eachof the parties had children by their previous marriage and the two sets of children have pot gotten along well. Their disagreemen brea discord between husband and wife, and last night’s gory tragedy was the culmination of these troubles. Winn, though not at last accounts arrested, was under guard at his son’s house. Great excitement exists in the neighborhood and a lynching is probable. CRIME NEWS, SAM MOYLAN KILLED AND HIS WIFE WOUNDED BY THEIR SONS, WHEELING, W. Va., July 25,.—At 10 o’clock last night Sam Moylan was murdered and his wife fatally wounded by Mike Moylan and John Moylan, his sons. The tragedy occurred at the residence of the Moylan family, about four miles from this city, and was not known till midnight. The murderers are under ar- rest, but details are lacking, except that the victims were shot. FIGHT AT A PICNIC. MAscouTAH, III., July 2.—A bloody fight occurred at a turner picnic at Queen’s Lake in Clinton County, seven miles southeast of here, yesterday afternoon. Six strangers, supposed to be from St. Louis, started a shell game near the picnic grounds in the morning and won much ofthe money inthe crowd. A dispute arose at the close of the between one of the manipu- and an outsider. A general fight followed, in which knives, revolvers, slung shots and clubs figured, The gamblers finally fled to the woods with several of their number injured. Oftheir opponents, Peter Miller received what may prove to be fatal slashes with a knife; David Shelton of Belle- ville was shot four times, and a dozen others were more or less seriously injured. FREE FIGHT AT A WEDDING FEAST. MAHONY Grrr, Pa., July 25.—John Lipski, a young Polander, was married at 2 o’clock yesterday morning to Miss Mary Kolzovitch. Among the guests Were Michael Felinski and John and Peter Kolsovitch, brothers of the bride.

A cordon of police was formed around Williams who was marched through the angry crowd in the depot to the station. Acrowdof fully 500 colored people followed the engineer and his protectors to the station, abusing him as he walked along. The accident was due to the failure of the air brakes to work.

About fifteen others were injured, but not seriously. SUFFERINGS OF IMPRISONED MINERS.

[PLAGUE’S PROGRESS, Russian Official Cholera Statistics Made Public. THE FACTS AND THE FIGURES ARE AT VARIANCE. Rigid Inspection and Sanitary Measures Enforced—Socialist Mob Dispersed in Brussels—Bad Crops Reported in Rus- sia—Etna’s Eruption Subsiding—Rus- sian Orop Report—Foreign News. ST. PETERSBURG, July 25.—Official cholera returns for the period from July 17 to July 21 give the number of cases in Russia as 4,839 andthe number of deaths as 2,590. There were thirty-five cases in Nijni-Novgorod on Saturday. The Mosgow Gazette reports four deaths from cholera in that city, but official reports make no mention of them. The doctors of St. Petersburg are daily ex- pecting cholera to appear here. The Preféct of Police is dealing severely with opposition to sanitary measures. Two servants in charge of a house have been sentenced to one and two weeks’ imprisonment respec- tively, and to a year’s banishment from st. Petersburg, for keeping the house in a filthy condition. The riots in Astrakhan and other places were partly due to the attitude of the doc- tors, who, it was reported, often refused to touch or examine the sick except from a distance, which treatment the lower classes resented, Nobody takes the official cholera returns as representing the actual state of affairs. The population does its utmost to conceal cases. At the same time it appears that the epidemic is decidedly mild and gives no great ground for general anxiety. It will be felt moreas a hindrance to commercial activityrthan as a danger to the population. | BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 7 PARTY WHIPS URGING MEMBERS TO AN EARLY ATTENDANCE, LONDON, July 25.—Mr. Akers-Douglas, Con- servative whip, has communicated with Mr. Arnold Morley, Liberal whip, with the object of ge tting the opposition members to present themselves in the House of Commons as soon as possible to be sworn in, thus shortening the formal proceedings and enabling Mur.

New Tonk, July 25.—Not a bit like the typical politiciah looked William F.

While the little ones played on the lawn the new chairman re- cetved a visitor Cordially and chatted about nis plans and movements for the near future. am going to Philadelphia this evening, said he, and some time to-morrow I shall run up to Harrisburg. I will be in New York on Wednesday next and will then announce the Campaign Committee, the Executive Committee and possibly the Advisory Com- mittes. At the present time, as you may judge, my attention is mainly directed to picking out the gentlemen who are to serve ‘on the committees.’’. pm you indicate any person who may be named on any of them?“ „No; I do not care to anticipate. Late changes may be necessary and I will not Make them public until the last possible minute. “‘Will the Advisory Committee be kept as secret as that of the Republicans will be’’’ Oh, no; Ishall make the names public, We have nothing to conceal as to our organ- ization.’’ **What about headquarters?’’ Nou can say thatthe national headquar- ters will be opened by Aug. 1. The building will be secured this week. What house we will take I cannot say. I do not think we will be located very far from the Fifth Ave- nue Hotel and the Hoffman House; still there is no special desire to have the headquarters near the hotels, because if we are faraway we are likely to have fewer visitors and they Are not likely to stay so long. From a source almost as authoritative as Chairman Harrity himself, is learned the way in which the Democratic campaign will be conducted by the National Committee and the three committees subordinate to it. There is to be an Executive Committe of twenty-five, a Campaign Committee of nine, and an Advisory Committee of a number not decided upon, but probably of four or five members. People have wondered what the duties of these three committees will be. Here they are clearly defined: The Executive Committee, which is the largest, will continue in existence for the next four years, or as long as the National Committee lasts. It will transact all the business of the National Committee not con- nected with this campaign and on which the National Committee as.a whole may see fit toact. Itwill also have vested in it some- thing of a veto power. Theactionof the Campaign Committee and of the National Chairman in conducting the campaign will be subject tothe approval of the Executive Committee, The Campaign Committee, as its name indicates. will have active of this campaign and will devote most of their time to the national ticket. Aided by the Advisory Committee, they will determine the policy and plan of campaign, and the Campaign Committee will execute the licy. It willin all probability be divided to sub-committees, one of which will have charge of the speech-making part of the can- vass, carefully selecting and assigning the 5 ers, There wl also bea sub-commit- tee on campaign literature. This body will determine the character of literary material to be — — and will have special regard In its distribution to the convictions, senti- ments or prejudices of localities. The Campaign Committee as a body will consider all details of organization work out- side of speaking and literature. If reports come in of defections in the party they will be looked after. It there are two candidates for Congress in a district which is close and might otherwise be carried members of the committee will take up the question and en- deavor to induce one candidate to withdraw. Ihe Campaign Committee will also look after State organizations and endeavor to bring theminto full harmony with the National Committee and to supplement and strengthen themin those States which the Democrats are determined to carry. The Advisory Committee was created for the purpose of getting the services of men of periencein politics. There are a few lead- ing men who are not members of the Nation- al Committee, but whose advice and assist- ance is desirea. They are expected to give that assistance and share in the responsibil- ity of the campaign by being officially con- nected with it. They are alsoexpected to as- tin suppiying ‘‘sinews of war, and will in constant communication with Chairman ty. THE MISSING STRIDER. Ai Character Attacked by Suburban Residents Who Knew Him.

A Habeas Corpus Writ Met by a Shot- gun. LAMONTE, Mo., July 25.—Mrs. L. L. Holman of Indiana has been here several days trying to get possession of her little girl, now held by her husband and secreted at his father’s near this place. Having failed to secure the child she swore outa writ ot habeas corpus and is proceeding le- Armed with the writ, Mrs. lawyer and constable house where the child was and proceeded to take charge of it, but the father persuaded the officerto go home, as he said he was willing to give the child up, and when the officer was out of the premises, appealing to ald. The justice ordered the child delivered to the court this morning at 8 o’clock, but the order was not obeyed, and trouble may result. Mrs. Holman and hus- band have been separated about five years, and lived at California,Mo.,when the separa- tion occurred. By agreement she wus to have custody of the twochildren and moved to Warrensburg, where she made a support by dressmaking until her child was kid- napped, since which time she has devoted her time as far as she could seekin her child. After five gloomy years she located her lost darling last week in the vicinity of Lamonte. Her brother, A. W. Hunter of California, Mo., arrived to-day, and will aid his sister in recovering her child by law. Pubiic sympathy is divided as tothe claims of both parties, a STREET RAILWAY BILLS. The Council Committee Hearing Argu- ments on Them This Afternoon. The Committee on Railroads of the City Council held an important meeting this arternoon at 2:30 o’clock. The object of the meeting was to hear the promotion of the four-street railway bills now pending in the Council and referred to the committee, Nearly all the leading rallway officials and a large num ber of citizens interested in the several routes were present. Among the farmer were John Scullin, Chas. Green, Chas. H. Turner, P. C. Maffitt, George Baumhof and others. The four bills to be considered by the committee were the Compton Heights bill, the Union Depot extension, the Taylor ave- nue billand the Manchester road bill. The Council Committee, which consists of Messrs Wehner, Chairman Meier and Hoolan, made a tour over the proposed routes of the sev- eral new lines in the early part of last week and posted themselves thoroughly on the subject. Both factions of parties interested in the Taylor avenue bill were present. Those who opposed the change from Taylor avenueto King’s highway were represented by George Burnett, President of the Board of Public Improvements. and James Cox, President of the Ashiand Improvement Association. Geo, Mamiltonand C. J. Dunnerman represented the King’s highway faction. President Burnett objects to the use of Michigan avenue for the use of the Union Depot Line on the ground that the street Is the only good road forthe farmers from Jef- ferson Barracks and Vicinity and shauld be kept clear of tracks. There are fully eight or ten different fac- tions in South st. Louis, and they all had representatives present. It is probable from this that President Scul- lin will make no changes inthe proposed route, as there are too many differences to reconcile. The first bill taken up was the Compton Heights. Mr, George Baumhoff, Superin- tendent of the Lindell Railway, said that he had already been with the committee and expressei his views to them, and he would call upon some ofthe citizens present who were inter- ested init to speak on the subject. Mr. Paul H. Bierman then took the floor and spoke for about five minutes. He had been president of a meeting which was held last night to further the interest of the new road and ad- vocated a favorable report. He was followed’ by others who spoke in the same vein. It will probably be late this even- ing before the session ends. When the committee makes its report on these bills, which will probably be to- morrow or Friday night next, the Council will take up the City Central Rallway bill, which has already been reported on, _ take action upon all the bills at the same time. street Marshall McDonaid’s Habeas Corpus. The application for the writ being argued this afternoon before Judge Claiborne. The Marshall McDonald habeas corpus pro- ceedings came up before Judge Claiborne at 2:15 this afternoon befcre a crowd which chmpletely packed the Court of Criminal Cor- rection. Mr. ‘ihomas B. Harvey, attorney for Mr. McDonald argued that the attorney had committed no contempt of court and that Judge Morris therefore had no legal authority to commit him. He also claimed that the order of commitment was improperly drawn City Counsellor Marshall, who answered forthe City Marshall, the defendant in the proceeding, claimed that when the court ruled a question could not attorney who insisted ing it was guilty of contempt regardiess of woether the question was prop- er or not. The arguments will last until late this aft- ernoon. Bold Burglars.

There is a town out West, said a general agent for fire apparatus, ‘‘that the Mayor owns. There’s no advertising for bids in that municipality. If the town needs anything the Mayor just gets it, and you bet your life the Council! approves the deal. His Honor is honest and economical, and the tax-payers don’t lose anything by him. He came intomy office the other day, got some apparatus, and when the question was raised as to how the contract should be made out the answer came quick and decisive that it should be made out to the Mayor personally, and it was so done, Being relieved of the necessity of advertising, he savedabout 10 per cent on the deal. But his absolute power came near losing him his popularity once. They had been struggling along with an old hand fire-engineand his honor got tired of turning out atevery fire and pressing men into service to work the engine. He went up to Chicagoand bought a steam fire-engine. It was a surprise to the Council, but, of course,they approved the purchase. It wasa great day forthetown when the new enxgine arrived and was hauled through the streets, The old hand engine was sold toa neighbor- ing village andthen the fire company of the Mayor’s town laid awake nights secretly hoping that fire would break out. A week after the purchase the biggest dry- goods em- porium in the town caught fire. ‘*A span of horses froma neighboring livery stable were hurriedly harnessed to the machine, and by the time it reached the fire steam wasup. The owner of the store came out and begged the Mayor not to deluge the store any more than necessary in putting out the flames. There was a great deal of trouble in getting the hose attached, for it was the feebie stuff that had been used on the old hand engine for years. The Mayor had for- gotten allabout hose when he bought the fire engine. At last the connection was made, and the Mayor himself started the engine. It was a proud moment for him, and he pulled her wide open. If that hose burst in one place it did in fifty. Not enough water came out of the nozzle to drown a canapy bird, and the crestfallen Mayor had to stand feebly by and see the dry- goods emporium burn to the ground and wit. ness a bucket brigade saving adjoining buildings, while the glistening fire engine blew off steam and quieted down to Innocu- ous desuetude. It took a long time for His Honor to regain his lost prestige—a less powerful man would have gone to the wall— but he rushed to Chicago and suld to me: ‘I want 500 feet of the biggest, toughest and most expensive hose you've got. Make the billoutto me and receiptit. I’m going to pay for it out of my own pocket.’ He did so, and the act of generosity put him back once more on the throne of popularity.’’ A WINTER NIGHT LONG AGO, What Is Recalled to the Old Man by a Newspaper Advertisemont. From the Mail and Express. „Oh, me! oh, me! oh, my!“ said the old man with the whiskers on his neck, ‘‘it’s awful, The way them machines hez come in an’ tuck up everything.

The ‘*woods’’ up the hill there choked with it; the ‘‘south pasture’’ choked with it; the barn door blocked with snow— piled up against the red windows—snow everywhere. Snowintheair, coming down softly—biown and whirled by the wind —sifting under the doors—coming down everyway. That’sthe snow. And the fire! The black oak knots—elbows and knuckle- bones—and the big back log of white oak, cut two weeks ago, aud fat and green with sap, are all roaring together inthe ‘‘chimbly’’ place. Pouf! andthe sparks go up, dancing inthe smoke and the fiames dance and the green back log creaks out a fiddle tune, That’s the fire. You’ ve raked out a bank of red coals in one corner of the hearth; you’ve shelled a good handful of corn into the ridiculous little pop- per, and you’re lying on your small stomach jigging that popper over the coals. Popand pop—a case of champagne going off all at nee. And the little yellow chaps have turned themselves inside out and are swag- gering in white satin and point lace. That’s the popcorn.

Tom Alton was tried in the Oriminal Court to-day on the charge of picking the pockets of Henry Schaefer at the South Side Park. The only evidence against him was that of Schaefer himself, and Judge Normile decided that the defendant could not be lawfally con- victed on Schaefer’s uncorroborated testi- mony in the force of the evidence offered by the defense, and he instructed the jury to re- turn a verdict of not guilty, which they did.

An Attempt to Foree an Insurance Scheme on the Men Results in Trouble —Demands on the Superintendent— Police Called in to Preserve the Peace. As a result of attempting to compel the empjoyes of the St. Louis Smelting & Refining Co. to sign a policy admitting them to mem- bership of an accident insurance company to be controlled by the com pany for the benefit of its employes, the entire night and day force, over three hundred strong, walked out this morning, and when Fore- man Bente arrivéd at the yards the men were lined around the works from the Missouri! Pacific to the Frisco Railroad tracks. They refused to enter the yards of the works, and while peaceable and quiet, considering the small army of men, they were very loud in their demands for their back time. The cause of the mis- understanding between the company and its employes arose, as stated, over an insurance scheme, The ist of July large posters were placed in conspicuous places around the works informing the employes of the company that would be organized for their especial benefit, giving in detail the objectof the organization and the probable cost of membersnip. Quite a number were in favor of the plan, but the majority of the smelters hooted at the proposition and signi- fled their intention of giving it the cold shoulder. On Saturday morning Supt. Jacob Copeland distributed the policies ofmembership among the employes of the works and informed them that he had instructions to give orders that all employes who had not affixed their signatures to the policy handed them by a certain time be dis- charged. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Following is a copy of the policy: I hereby authorize the St. Louis Smelting & Refin- ing Co., — employer, to deduct from wages the mumber of cents shown on poster on account of Poliey No, ——, under which I am insured against every accident resulting in personal injury or death wherever | may be. The said insurance to be within the following limits: In disablement of an employe, as aforesaid, a sum equal to, but not exceeding, one-half of the weekly wages buring tue deriod of his or her disablement (limited to a period not exceeding fifty weeks) and in addition thereto the doctor’s bil.

After considering over the advisability of signing the application, they determined to walk out, the day force going out yesterday evening andthe night force this morning. The employes were also agitated over the dismissal of, Foreman Copeland and when they learned that he had been dismissed for not explaining mojo thoroughly the benefit that could be derived by being members of the insurance company the men became very noisy and loud in their denunciation of higher authority. So excited were they that Sergt. Hickman, with ten mounted police, was ordered to the scene of the trouble to prevent an uprising. While the service of the officers has not been in demand yet, ten officers are stationed inside of the ards at the work, and are ready to protect the property of the company should an attempt he made to destroy it by the angry employes. A committee representing the employes called on General Supt. Snyder this morning and informed him that unless his order was withdrawn they wanted their time and could calla strike on. They stated that they had no desire to join an insurance company, and if they had they would insist that the application be made out providing for sickness as well as acci- dents. Before entering into any agree- ment, however, they demanded that Fire- man Copeland be restored tothe position, and that twoother firemen by the name of Gasen and ‘‘Iron Bear“ Johnson be dismissed from duty. This Mr. Snyder refused to do, but informed the committee thatif the men would return to work and sign their application before Aug. 1, by that time, the additional clause would be inser- ted. The committee then retired from the office to the street where they made known the result of the conference. e won't do 1 went up the cry from three hundreB voices, and the surging mass of humanity made a bee line for the company’s office. Mr. Snyder was standing on the front ge when the army of men rushed upto the office. Said one of the leaders: EXCITING INTERVIEW WITH SNYDER. „Mr. Snyder, we want our money right now, as we are going to leave you.“ My are you going to leave Me,men?’’ re- plied the Superintendent. Because you have not treated us right. bh la a propose to sign that death war- rant. Mr. Snyder endeavored to pacify them, but to no purpose, and he opened the office door and commanded them to enter and re. ceive their time checks. Among shouts and * a stampede was made for the office and n less than two seconds the little room was filled to its utmost capacity. Mr. Snyder in conversation with a Post- DISPATCH reporter said that the employes had been stampeded by several dissatisfied employes, or there would have been no trouble of any kind. He stated fur- ther, that he was requested by a numberof the employes to inaugurate or establish some sort of an insurance company, and as he had spent considerable money and time in perfecting the arrangements, the men would either have to sign the applica- employes have chosen the latter, and while they claim they will remain quiet and peaceable as long as no new men attempt to fill their vacancy the property is being guarded closely and Sergt. Hickman will havean extra force of mounted police and patrolmen on duty to- hight. POLITICAL NOTES. Nearly Six Hundred Ballots Without a Nomination.

A band of women robbers have been discovered in a large cave on the outskirts of that place,where they met to plan burglaries, That they achieved a modest success in this new departure is shown by the fact thut they had when discovered some 15,000 francs worth of plunder which they had relieved the inhabitants of Pamago and surrounding towns.

The economies of Mrs, Leslie Carter, who is obliged to live on $50 a week, are now made the subject of admiring comment by the Chi- cago papers. The lady, they say, lives with the greatest simplicity. She has one small room at a prominent hotel for which she pays only $28 a week. She has not indulged her- self with a cab since her arrival in Chicago, except on several occasions when she drove on the north side inthe hope of obtaining a glimpse of her boy as he returned from school. She walks to and from the theater every night, wet or dry, and gets up early every morning, that she may be in time for the hotel breakfast. In short, she is said to look out sharply for the dimes and pennies. in Mr. Poulteny Bigelow’s book upon the German Emperor there are some interesting bits about the Empress Frederick. Mr. Bigelow’s close association with Prince Wil- liam, as he then was, is well known, used to 2 the long days playing with the rince ahd his brother in the park of Sans ouci, near the palace. Sometimes in pleas- ant weather the children had their tea out of doors. The late Emperor Frederick and his wife, then Crown Princess, used to come and talk with the children in a delightful style. The Crown Princess superintended the preparation of the repast and frequently tasted the food to satisfy herself that it was not toorich for the digestion of her youn sons. A very simple lunch it was, bread an toast, fresh milk and some simple coffee cake, bread cake with raisins init. Upon one occasion she made a birthday cake for Prince William and the children ate it to the lastcrumb. All of which goes to show that the English womanin her care of her chil- dren was very much like the German wife who takes such excellent care of the five boys of Emperor William 11. Miss Ella Knowles of Helena has been nom- inated by the People’s party for fhe proud position of Attorney-General. Miss Knowles is not, however, a Western woman. She was born in Northwood, N.

M. from the same institution. As a nat- ural result of these high honors and the hard work which preceded them Miss Knowles’ health broke down. She went West to regain it. Theairof Helena agreed with her; so did the inhabitants.

It Was His Bane, but He Overcame It and Succeeded in Life. NEW YORK, June 30.—The most interesting figure at the Chicago Convention was Bourke Cochran. Men ofall parties admire his oratory and his talents. A very well-known lawyer and politician of this city told yester- day how Mr. Cochran overthrew the demon rum, ‘‘I knew Cochran well,’’ he said, when fie was poor—when he had not a dollar in the worid. It was in 1879. He met me down in Park Row, and this is whut he said: ***lunderstand that Ed Kearney and Jim Mooney are going out to Leadville. You are a friend of Mooney. Can you arrange so that they can take me down and drop me in some Western country? I have no money and 1 want to begin again.’ „Begin again? H’m,’ **I walkeu into a lager-beer saloon with him, and we sat down to a table and the fol. lowing gf ensued: Cochran, have known you for some time. The mistakes that we make are lying to ourselves; it is a prudent thing to deceive every body else, but not ourselves, when we are without a dollar or a centin the world, or a friend. Can you really say to me that all the evils and troubles that have reduced you now here to poverty are not directly or indirectly to be traced to the demon rum)? It was but afew months ago that Judge Dyck- man told me that you were the most promis- ing lawyer of Westchester County. Cochran was silent. Then I said to him: ‘Your silence convinces me that your heart tells you that you have been deceiving your- self. If you must drink you don’t want to go to the West with Jim weeny | and Ed Kear- ney.

It Ie Raten Here to Such an Extent That a New Industry Has Been Started. Special Corr dence SUNDAY POst-DispaTcH. New York,’ July 2.—Macaroni has taken a strong hold on the affections of food-eating Americans. It is nutritious, digestible and palatable, also provides exercise and amuse ment, The quantity consumed in this city during the past year, according to restaurant-keep- ers, is in excess of the consumption of pre- vious years toa remarkable extent. In view of these facts some Americans have very sen- sibiy taken to manufacturing macaroni, Whether the home-made product or the for- eign is preferable will appear in time. It has at least the advantage that it is entirely machine-made, and no such horrible sugges- — apply to the American article as to the OQ er. - Since last October one concern in this city has been making macaroni! by the ton—or perhaps by the mile would more correctly convey the idea. A visit to the factory the other day brought to light many facts con- nected with the manufacture of this article. The art of making macaroni involves a some- what intricate and tedious process—that is American macaroni, The ingredients, so far as the superintendent was at rty to make them known without ving away any tricks of the trade, consist of farina made from the very best hard wheat grown in Minnesota, Kansas and North Dakota. These are reduced to a farinaof five wholly different grades, and then mixedup in one common quality. The combination has re- ceived the title of farinola, and the name has been copyrighted. These farinas.are se- lected with regard to their glutinous proper- ties, as that is the chief essential in the mak- ing of the paste from which the ‘‘pipe- stems’’ are formed. This farinola is made into a paste as hard and glutinous as India rubber. The paste is first put through a mixer, then inacircular trough, around which a two- ton granite roller revolves. This takes out any moisture that may remain in the aste after leaving the mixer. Then whe or- oughly rolled itis lined around the sides of another circular trough and two cone-shaped cog- wheels proceed to knead and cut the paste in pieces, taking out the flaky veins and giving an equally smooth and glutinous body throughout. From the grinder the paste is ready to go tothecylinders which turn it out perfect macaroni, **It is put in at the top ofa round cylinder, the interior of which resembles the interior of a gatlin g gun or the cylinder of a revolver. Through these holes run small rods which make the holes in the macaroni: As it comes slowly out of the bottom of the cylinder the man operating the machine spreads it over a clean board, and whena certain length has been spun out it is cut up and laid aside to allow more to follow. These are placed in drying boards on an upper floor, and for ten days itis kept on these boards, when it is ready for boxing and selling. The spaghetti is made in exactly the same way, the only difference being that the cylin- ders which shape the stems are about five times smaller. This same paste is also made into all sorts of shapes for usingin soup, such as letters, figures, stars, animals and elbows, or what the French call ‘*condes.’’ They resemble exactly an elbow of a stove-pipe. The same factory makes the old-fashioned noodles so dear to the German palate. The only difference between the macaroni paste and the noodle paste is the addition of the egg. requiring one egg to every pound of paste. This makes noodles cost 14% cents a pound more than spaghetti. The factory at present is turning out twelve miles of macaroni aday, so that there are constantly on the drying boards 120 miles of this popular food product. Vermicelli is likewise made from the same paste, and the demand for this is as great, if not greater than for macaroni, To give some idea of the great glutinous properties of this paste it may be stated that it requires a pressure of 1,000 pounds to the square inch to send the paste through the cylinders and give the macaroni its proper shape. The superintendent took a little quantity of the farinola, and pouring some water on it began making a dough of it. a few moments he had made a paste as hard as rubber. VELVET TRIMMED GOWN.

Further Evidence in the Trial of Alice Mitchell. PEREMPTORY ACTION TAKEN BY JUDGE pusois. Dr. Turner’s Recital of His Interviews With the Accused Ruled Out by the Court—The Prisoner Has the Appear- ance ofa Casual Spectator—Status of the Case. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 25.—The audience at- tending the Criminal Court this morning was as large and varied as heretofore. Some thirty ladies were inside the bar and several hundred men, white and black, outside, oc- cupying seats where they could see and hear but little, and with the thermometer indicating 97 deg. of temperature in the court-room. The de- fendant in her becoming black dress, jaunty white hat and wavinga black fan mechan- ically, presented a pleasing picture. Her face is entirely devoid of expression, and when her gray eyes are turned upon you with a half look of inquiry and curiosity there is but little expression in them. She is to all intents and purposes a mere specta- tor attending a trial in which she has no greater interest than the other spectators. She is perfectly cool, calm and collected, and no one would suspect her of being the crim- inal, sane or insane, on trial at the bar of justice. Dr. B. F. Turner, a young physician, who has made diseases of the mind and psycholo- gy a special study, testified that he had made four visits to the jail to see Alice Mitch- ell, and his opinion was that she is now insane, and he did not think her malady curable. She said in reply to his questions: ‘‘I could have married Freda. I was going to work and support both of us, Iwas goingtodress likeaman and raisea moustache by shaving.’’ Dr. Turner further said that when Alice talked upon general subjects he found noth- ing to indicate insanity, except that she did not talk like a mature girl of her age. AVhile she is nearly 20 years ofage she talked like a girl of 5 years of age. Her class of insanity belongs to that. of imperative impulse or imperative conceptions. Dr. Turner added that he said to Miss Mitchell: Nou must Know that at sometime or other there will be an investigation ofthis case of yours and 1 want you to tell—’’ What's that? what’s that. sir?’’ called out Judge Duboise. Is that the manner in which you got your information from Miss Mitchell?’’ ‘*Yes, sir,’’ answered Dr. Turner. That will do,“ thundered the Judge. **Gentlemen, this whole proof is inadmuiss!- bile under all authorities, and the Judge read at length from the booksto sustain his ruling. This brought a prolonged discussion between the lawyers, which was continued uptothe hour of recess of court, the wit- ness, Dr. Turner, being still on the stand. A MEDICAL EXPERT’S TESTIMONY. The most important, as well as the most interesting testimony submitted in the case so far was that of Dr. F. S. Sims of the Mem- phis Medical College: ‘*‘I have been a medical practitioner for nearly forty years, and hav ven special attention to mental and nervous diseases, which Iteach in college from thechair of the principles and practice of medicine, and ledit the Memphis. Medical Journal. I saw Alice Mitchell in jail and made an examina- tion of her medical condition ten or twelve days after the homicide. I went to the jail on purpose to inquire into her mental condition. After propounding certain questions, I had no trouble about it, for I found her conditions entirely similar to other cases I had seen be- fore and of which I knew the history. „This conversation led me to believe that she had been undergoing marked changes of @ pathological character and that she was not really responsible for what she had done. That was my conclusion with regard to her condition.’’ Did she tell you why she killed Freda Ward?’’ She told me she did it because she loved Miss Ward and that she was afraid Miss Ward had fallen in love with someone else, some man. On that acccunt she gave me to understand she contemplated killing Miss Ward and then taking her own life.’’ M hat did she tell youas to the relations she sustained toward Miss Freda Ward?’’ She stated that very clearly. It was that of mutual love in the sense of a love between male and female. Such cases are not uncom- mon in the records of the medical profession. There are quite a number on record, and they are generally recognized and classified the profession. This girl to me that she Miss Ward were engaged to be married and that she had presented Miss Ward wit® an en- gagement ring, but that they had been pre- vented from carrying out their plans for elopement and marriage. She said the dis- covery of the elopement had led to the in- hibition ot all furtherintimacy between her and Freda. She showed emotion only when she thought of her relationship with Miss Ward. Whenupon other matters she was indifferent wholly. She showed no remorse, SHE IS INSANE. Insanity is hereditary and is transmissi- ble, and I informed myself that Alice’s mother had been tnsane.’’ „From what you saw of Alice, would you say she was insane?“ asked Col. Gantt. Most assuredly.’’ **Would you say she was insane now?“ „Well, I have not seen her since the time I speak of, shortly after che tragedy, but I will say that her insanity isofakind from which recovery is rare. „Her insanity is of a kind that generally develops fixed delusions in the way of im- perfect ideas, thet are just as fixed in the mind of the insane as a sane man’s idea that twice two makes four. The delusion is recog- nized as a fact, and if it is to accomplish an end the subject will undertake that end. In all forms of insanity there is generally a hysical disease attendant. In the great ma- ority of cases of insanity that is continued there is heredity. In cases of puerperal insanity there is a blood taint that will form an undercurrent of heredity. If there is a hereditary taint of insanity, the puerperal insanity may become permanent.’’ And now, doctor, a lover kilishis sweet- heart because she has discarded him and is oing to marry another fellow, is that insan- ?’ No, sir.“ „„Weil, if one woman devotedly loves an- other woman, the other woman cuts off the intimacy and is going to marry another and the first kills the second, would that indicate insanity?’’ Ne, ir. ‘here’s a link missing in that c se. Well, if Alice Mitchell loved Freda Ward and Freda was engaged to marry another fellow of whom Alice was jealous and Alice threatened that Freda should never marry the fellow, and at last killed Freda in order to preventa marriage, would you consider then that Alice was crazy?“ **Yes, sir. cP „Because, in the first place, the love en- tertained by Alice is unnatural. In the second place the mere fact of the killing is in- dicative of lack of will power. i do not consider her case to be one of xanoia,’’ continued Dr. Sims. Her case s somewhat similar to paxanoia, but differ- ent in some respects. do not believe Alice Mitchell’s malady is curable. In all cases of mental disease there are times of 1 ment, but in grave forms of disease there is no permanent cure, no prospect of reaching a condition of perfect sanity again. She 1s liable to the most imperative conceptions with regard to homicide and suicide. I do not think her py | is even yet fully devel- oped, for I consider it to be of a grave type.“ SHE IS AN ENIGMA.

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25.—Senator Vest has introduced in the Senate a joint resolu- tion authorizing the President to proffer to Great Britain, Germany and France, as an in- ducement to enter into an international agreement for free coinage of silver, a re- auction of 25 per cent in tariff duties on tex tiles, hardware, earthenware and glass. Laid on the table. The anti-option bill was then taken up and Mr. Gorge addressed the Senate. Mr. George spoke ofthe New Orleans and New York Cotton Exchanges as being composed of some 600 men—not one of whom raised cotton, consumed it or even handled it. On one day in the New York Cotton Ex- change 1,500 bales of ‘‘mythical,’’ ‘‘phan- tom, or ‘‘wind’’ cotton had been sold for one bale of real cotton, and he asked if that was real, genuine commerce or whether it was gambling. At five minutes past 2 o’clock Mr. George lelded the floor temporarily at the request of ir. Allison, who thereupon presented the conference report on the sundry civil appro- priation bill. The report, although referring to theamendments of the biil by numbers only, covered many pages of typewritten let- ter size paper and its reading occupied nearly a quarter of an hour. The nomination of George Shirastobe as- sociate justice of the Supreme Court will trouble the Senate Judiciary Committee no longer. At the meeting this morning it was decided to report it to the Senate without recommendation, The attendance was the same as the preceeding meetings, two Republicans and four Democrats. The friends of Mr. Shiras are elated to-day for the fact that the Democratic Senators al- lowed the nomination to be reported even without recommendation is taken by them as an ‘indication that no obstructive tactics will be resorted to by them to prevent action on the nomination in the Senate. The attendance in the House to-day despite the insufferable heat was unexpectedly lar There was little interest manifested in the proceedings, however, and the mem- bers were restive, making frequent trips to the cloak rooms and the lobbies behind the Speakers desk to catch a breath of air. Mr. Brookshire (Dem., Indiana,) reported adversely from the Committee on Post-offices and Post Roads the resolution regarding an investigation of Postmaster-General Wana- maker's connection with the Leake Pneu- matic Tube Co. of Philadelphia, the evidence not warranting an inquiry. The resoluion from the special committee which investigated the Pension Office, recom- mendinmg the dismissal of Commissioner Raum, wds then taken up under the special order made on Saturday last, and it was agreed that the debate should proceed with- out limit. Ihe discussion was opened by Mr. Little (Dem.) New York, who said that Gen. Raum had flagrantly abused his trust, and his acts were a disgrace to the administra- tion and to the country. Planing Mill Men's Strike. The striking mill men had their customary meeting this morning at St. Louis Hall. Mr. Green who went to Chicago toenthuse the wood workers of that city in behalf of the strikers made a report of the entire success of his mission. He was accompanied by Mr. Andrew Grassley of the Executive Board. They addressed a meeting of the Bohemian Union No, 4 and in about five. min- utes 8172 had deen subscribed the St. Louis brethren. Arrange- ments were made for a mass-meeting of all the Chicago millmen unionists this evening, and assurances were given thata large sum would be realized. There are five mill men’s unions in Chicago, and Mr. Green said that he found the unionists disposed to assist St. Louis to the extent of their ability. Mr. Grassley remains in Chicago several days to look after the agitation. The planing mill men desire the statement corrected that they had received $1,400 from Carpenters’ Union, No. 5. They have re- ceived but $700 from that society, but are promised $700, and they have no doubt that it will be forthcoming upon occasion. At the meeting this morning there wasa great deal of criticism of the statement ema- nating from the mill bosses that they were etting men rapidly, in fact, had about 500. The strikers say this is no doubt true, if the four,‘‘square’’ planing mills are included in the éom putation, for these employ fully 450 men. The ‘‘unfair’’ mils can not, the strik- ers say, muster more than 50 hands, counting stragglers, teamsters, office men, etc. There is reason for doubting the statement in the morning papers that the union Car- penters have decided to goout in sympathy with the planing mill men. An attempt to see the Executive Board of the Carpenters Council was not successful, but from a source apparently trustworthy, it was learned that the odds were about even as to their strik- ing. The Council will meet in regular session on Tuesday night, and no doubt the matter would come up. One reason for doubting that they would order a strike is found in the fact that practically two-thirds of them are out of work because of the stop- page of building operations entailed by the planing mill strike, and practically a strike would serve no useful end. The mill men are not anxious that the carpenters should strike. They will be satisfied if the carpen- ters will only do their duty as unionists and refuse to handle non union stuff from the mills. But they don’t ask even this. They leave it to their conscience as unionists. The millmen profess to be perfectly pleased with the situation. They say they are get- ting a leverage on the mills that must sooner or later result in their capitulation. They are just now figuring on getting upa mass meeting of boss builders whose work is com- pletely at a standstill because of the inability to get their mill work, and who are supposed to be quite willing to use their influence with the mill men to end the dim. culty by yielding to the demands of the men for their nine-hour day. Many of the build- ers are now paying forfeit on their jobs on the time limit, and it is said that in some cases the builders have shoulderea this for feit on the mill bosses, but some of the bulld- ers have not been so lucky, and these, itis supposed, would be quite willing to boring a pressure upon the manufacturers and end the present difficulty. In conversation on this point the other day a well-known builder who claims to have $100,000 worth of work on hand said he thought the mill men could afford to give the men „what they wanted. Most of the buildin trades have obtained an eight-hour day, an the mill men are about the only ones left that are yet working ten hours. The men’s de- mands ought to be granted.

He restored her to consciousness but she soon had another attack and for the Hazel Sadler. [Tue photograph which caused the shooting. ] next two hours she wasina pretty bad ner vous condition, and Deputy Coroner Meade saw it would be useless to proceed with the investigation and so continued it. THE SHOOTING. Sadler was shot and instantly killed by his wife, Ida, at 11 o’clock yesterday morning in their flat at 3403 La Salle street. The woman and one of two witnesses claim that the shooting was accidental. Sadler had not been home for two days until yester- day morning, when he returned with a friend, John Haley of Memphis, Tenn. When he happened to throw open his coat his wife saw that he in his pocket woman, She let her have it, but her drunken husband refused, declar- ing that he would not be bulldozed by a woman. Mrs, Sadler picked up a revolver and, pointing it at Sadler, told him that if he did not give up the picture she would shoot. She claims that her husband made a move as if tothrow something at her and tried to grabherarm. In darting away from him, she alleges, her elbow struck the mantel, causing the weapon to be discharged. The bullet struck the man in the left side. He dropped to the floor and died almost in- stantly. The woman’s cries and screams attracted an officer, who arrested her and took her to the Fifth District Police Station. Mrs. Sadler denies that she in- tended to shoot her husband, but merely wanted to scare him into giving up the photograph. She says that Sadler treated her so badly that about five months ago she bought the Ane intending to kill herself. Her courage failed and she had the weapon ever since. THE ONLY EYE-WITNESS. Miss Effie Watson, the only eye-witness of the tragedy that could be found, corrobo- race the story of Mrs. Sadler. e picture which caused the killing was that ame young woman, dressed in a fancy costurrre. Sadler was a book-kKeeper, and was em- ployed at the time of his death by the Watson Sand & Gravel Co. He was married at Brownsville, Ind., five years ago, it is al- Jeged by the wife’s friends. They had no children. SADLER’S CAREER. A year ago last January Chief Harrigan received a letter from the Chief of Police of Brooklyn, N. Y., asking if a man named Marcelles Sadler lived in st. Lonis and he were living with a woman whom he represented as his wife. The letter stated that he had a wife in Brooklyn, whohad applied or was a bout to apply fora divorce from him, and the information wasalso given that Sadler would probably be found employed in some pool-room. The matter was given to Detective John Hobbs to look up and Mr. Hobbs was not long in learning that Sadler was employed at a turf exchange in the Merchants’ Exchange Building and that he was living with a woman who had pre- viously been an inmate of Vic De Bar’s and afterwards of Mattie Roberts’ house of iill- fame. The couple were then living at a re- spectable boarding house at South Four- teenth street near Chouteau avenue. When Mr. Hobbs first called on Mrs. Sadler, or the woman who was living witn the Brooklyn man as Mrs. Sadler, she was averse to giving any information about him, but he succeeded in learning that he had relatives living in the East, and that they had been tryingfor some time to locate him. NOT CERTAIN ABOUT THE WOMAN. It is not known whether the woman who shot Sadler is still another wife which he has married, but the police think Sadler is the same man they then looked up. is. When asked this morning if she had ever lived in Brooklyn, the prisoner said that she had not, nor anywhere else in the Kast. She had been married to Sadler five years, she said, and they had lived most of the time in | She was too much prostrated to subject and seemed St. Louis. talk much on any most of all averse to answering questions in regard to her domestic affairs. She claimed, however, that she was married to Sadler in Indiana. THE DEAD MAN’S FATHER. Capt. Keeble of the Police Department re- ceived the following telegram to-day: MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 25, 92. Capt. Keeble, St. Louis: Impossible for me to leave Memphis. Iam sure the shooting was accidental and hope she will be released, A. SADLER. Mr. Sadler is the father of the man killed and is quite a prominent citizen of Memphis. HAZEL SADLER. The rr taken from Sadler is the picture of a girl known as Hazel Sadler, with whom he was said to have been infatu- ated. She is now on a visit to her parents at McLeansboro, III. John Holley, the acquaintance who was with him last night, is said to have torn up some correspondence between Sadler and some women, which the man now dead had banded him before he was shot.

Loxpox, July 13.—The ninety-one pictures which formed the collection of the late Earl Dudley were recently sold in London for nearly $532,000. The collection had a peculiar interest of its own. It consisted entirely of old masters— Dutchmen, Flemings, Spaniards, and early and late Italians—yet it was not one of those ancestral collections Which are so numerous in England. All the pictures had been bought by Lord Dudley himself, andso, while they included few world-famous masterpleces, they likewise included few of those fourth- rate or actually mendacious canvases to which long tradition has often given a ficti- tious renown in England. When this owner began to buy them he was avery young man and was merely Lord Ward, not yet the Earl of Dudley. Traveling in Italy atthe time whenthe famous nergy (A of Cardinal Fesch was dispersed, he then, in 1847, secured the picture which, to most eyes, must have seemed the gem of the collection he subsequently formed. This wasa small Raphael, a ‘‘*Crucifixion,’’ which was painted when the artist was only 17, almost tpn, in the manner of his master, erugino, and which is peculiarly interest- ing, not only for intrinsic reasons, but as the earliest work which has been identified as in- disputably his. Although a work of his stu- dent’s y d although 80 strongly Perugino’s in- fluence, it true Raphael, not a mere piece of studio work directly inspired by the master and, perhaps, partially exe- cuted by himor by some other pupil. That is, it was painted during a brief absence from Perugia, when, in 1503, Raphael went home for a while to Urbino and then acce pting an invitation todo some work at Citta di Cas- tello, executed this altar-plece of the Church of San Domenico in that place. Here it hun for 300 years. in the chapel of the Gavarn family, and then its owners, we are told, were induced in 1800 to sell it for the sum of 2,000 scudi, its place to be filled, after an agree- ment customary in such dealings, by as good acopy as the purchaser could cause to be made. From the possession of this unknown French purchaser the picture soon passed into the hands of Cardinal Fesch, the uncle of Napoleon, who was then Ambassador at Rome and whose gallery was considered the finestinthecity. When the gallery was sold in 1847 the Raphael was bought by Prince Canino, but he was soon tempted to part with it by Lord Ward’s offer of 10,000 Roman scudl. lam unable to translate this sum into more comprehensible terms, but, although it seems to have been thought very big atthe time, it was probably much less than the sum just paid for the same work at the Dud- ley sale. It brought the other day $55,650, which seems a very great price until we remember that more than $100,000 was paid not long a by an American for Rembrandt’s ‘‘Gilder.’’? How- ever the ‘‘Gilder’’ is unsurpassed among Rembrandt portraits, while this ‘‘Cruci- fixion’’ is of course, in real artistic worth, far inferior to those later Raphaels in which the artist was characteristically himself. Its purchaser was one Mr. Ludwig Mond, I do not know who he may be. One might fancy him a dealer, as most of the Dudley pictures were secured by dealers, but for the fact that the picture was noted as having been pur- chased by a well-known dealer on his ac- count. At all periods of his life Lord Dudley was a lavish, not tos eckless buyer. But he had excellent taste, And so, While some of his canvases sold for much less than he had paid for them, others brought increased prices, and as a whole the collection realized probably a good deal more than it had cost. Representatives of all the great public museums of Europe were present at the sale, but prices for the best things ranged so high that few ofthem went home with acqulsi- tions. For instance, Sir Frederic Burton came prepared to pay, on account of the National Gallery, 3,000 guineas for a little picture of the early Netherland schools, part ofatriptych, the other partof which isin the possession of Lork Northbrook, but a firm of dealers outbid himto the amount of 3,570 guineas—$18,742. A big landscape by Hob- bema, with figures by Adrien Van der Febde, brought $50,400, Mr. Agnew, the dealer, be- ing the purchaser. A Murillo, with two low- life figures, similar to the well-known ones in the Munich gallery, was thought to have been sacrificed for $9,450, especially as Lord Dudley had paid $17,000 for it in 1867, but Murillo has gone greatly outof fashion in recent years, and so, too, have the late Itallans—Italians of the seventeenth century. It is, therefore, not surprising that a head by Ludovico Carraci brought only $262 and a Salvator Rosa, Moses Saved from the Water,“ which had brought $7,875 at a sale near the beginning of this century, now realized only $2,362. Out of fashion, and as rightly so, are also the later Dutchman and Flemings, as was proved by the fact that a Franz Mieris, which not long ago had brought $19,239, now brought $17,750. This must have been quite enough for it. But Ostace was an earlier and better painter, yet his Kitchen Interior, which Lord Dudley had got at the Schneider sale in 1876 for $21,630, now went to Mr. Angew for only $8,075 —so great a reduction that one fancies Lord Dudley must for once have exaggerated the excellence of the canvas he coveted, LITERATURE IN FRANCE. Even Printers’ Ink Must Smell of Gun- powder There. From Harper's Magazine. Philarete Chasles relates in his memoirs how, one afternoon as he was at work in his newspaper office, a young Man with a mili- tary air, looking as bold as if he were going to the wars, knocked imperiously at the door, walked in, sat down, and said, without further preamble: Monsieur, I am Hugo.’’ Then after handing to Chasles the famous yellow-covered book with the password ‘*Hi- erro’’ on the title-page, he asked him if he was on his side or not, and continued: Monsieur, not only are we going to change poetry, which needs a fundamental revolu- tion, but grammar also. What do you think about our prosody? French prosody must be completely overhauled.’’ So itis in France, where neither centuries nor years count, but only minutes and seconds, the shock of contraries and the vio- lence of reaction. The French must always be fighting about something—even for Bolleau against Ronsard, and for Nonette against Voltaire. Printers’ ink must smell of powder, otherwise life g seems insipid and thought without any savor. Victor Hugo’s visit to Chasies is 1 42 ical. The history of French literature is that of the perpetual storming of Paris by a hand- fu! of young adventurers whose object is to demolish the existing formule of an always incomplete art and to enthrone themselves victoriously in a new edifice which they pro- ose to build upon the ruins. But no sooner as one set of innovators achieved suc- cess than another dand begins to attack the victors of i yester- day, and so battle follows battle, and revolution follows revolution, with the ac- companiment of violent polemics, and of envy. hatred and all uncharitableness. The documents, the exactitude, the experimen- tation, and the professed scientific method of the naturalist evolution, which only a tew years ago was proclaimed to be definitive, now sicken the elite. The cry at present is for golden-winged dreams, OF, at any rate, for something new. Enough of the gross language of Naturalism, its ignoble ideas, its exclusive materialism!

HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE RETURNED TO EUROPE. While His Wite Is Visiting Little Bock, Schafer Draws $2,000 From Bank and Is Seen No More—Death at Alton ofa Man Who Disappeared From St. Louis. \ William Schafer, until recently a draughts- man at the Water-works at the foot of Ferry street, has taken the tide of summer excur- sions at the flood and sailed for Germany to the great grief of his wife, who was herself on a short visit to Little Rock, Ark., at the time, and returned last week to find that her spouse had gone. Schafer was a man of culture, it is said. Hehelda good position, and drew 8100 a month from the City Treas- ury. His departure for the Fatherland, therefore, was his right and his privilege, but in the eyes of his wife’s relatives and others it was akin to abandonment, for he took with him his savings, said to be $2,000, and left his wife to find a refuge with her mother, Mrs. Pfeiffer, at No. 916 St. Louis avenue. From the story current amopg the friends of Schafer,and narrated by his wife’s people, he resigned his position inthe Water Department about July 5. About the same time he and his wife had gone to board on Chouteau avenue. A young lady friend of Mrs.. Schafer invited her to make a short trip to Little Rock, Ark. Mrs. Schafer not being burdened with the care of children and the troubles of a household, accepted the invitation and with her friend departed July 7. Mr. Schaefer es- corted his wife to the depot, showed her every kindness and bade her an affectionate farewell. Her relatives now allege that he gave her no intimation of his resignation of his position two days before and allowed her to remain under the belief that he was still employed at the Water-works. When she returned to St. Louis a week ago, and went to their rooms on Chouteau avenue, she was informed that Mr. Schafer hadalso gone on a summer tour. She investigated the mystery of his sudden departure and leared that he had drawn from bank the earnings which had accumulated from substantial addi- tions made each month. Neither she nor her relatives are sure tWat he has gone to Germany, but they have many bits of evidence which give light to this. suspicion. They do not know Mr. Schafer left his wife 80 qulet, hasty and unostentatious a manner, but they think he felt that his relatives - in- law did not show him the proper respect. Mrs. Pfeiffer, his mother-in-law, said: ‘*We do not know why Mr. Schaferhas gone. He had many old country aristocratic notions; he was highly educated, and often said he would like to go back to Germany. Hehas told us that his father has occupied a high position in the Krup Gun Works at Essen, Germany, for twenty-seven years and he himself was reared there and received his technical education in that place. He married my daughter in October, 1890, and they kept house at 1015 Benton street until the first of this year when they went to boarding. He was a very close man in money matters, ana saved much of his salary. His friends say that all will yet be well, and his wife believes that he will return to herand explain his disappearance ina satisfactory — but at present his actions are a mys- ery.’ Died at Alton. A man who said that he had lately returned from Germany died suddenly at the Eastern Hotel at Alton yesterday at 4 p. m. In his pocket was a book with the inscription: In memory of the friendship of Joseph Risse and August Kellner.“ From papers it was learned that his name was Joseph Risse, a native of Oestereiden, Germany, an ex- soldier in the German army and dis- charged from the Seventh Cavalry, U. 8. A., Feb. 8, „ A duplicate of a8 draft for 1,345 marks, issued by the Fourth National Bank of this city on a Bremen firm, dated Feb. 18, 1892, was also found. Mr. F. Diehm, in charge of the Foreign Exchange of the Fourth Nation- al, has a record of this draft. Mr. Diehm said that a man named Joseph Risse had been a soldier at Fort Riley. He was a tailor and made a good deal of money. He sent small sums to his father at Oeste- reiden, through the Fourth National and last February went to Germany. This same man called on Mr. Diehm last Friday and said that he had about $2,500 with the sutler at Fort Riley. He had no money and he wanted to know how he could get it. Mr. Diehm told him to write for it and gave him a letter of in- troduetion to the Germania Hotel, but the.officials there state that no such man came to them. He told Mr. Diehm that he had brought a friend with him from Germany who was working in the city. This is per- naps the August Kellner mentioned. Mr. Diehm thinks that the man who died at Alton is the Joseph Risse with whom he had bus ness. THE MINIE-DART. Directions for Making a Toy That Every Boy Is Bound to Like.

HOW THE OBSERVATIONS ARE MADE AT THE SIGNAL STATION. There is no more interesting study than a weather bureau. This is particularly true when careful inquiry and examination is made into the various instruments and means used in taking observations and the manner in which they are operated to pro- duce the best results. The St. Louis bureau consists in taking two observations dally at 7 a. m. and 7 p. m., local time, and in the issuing of weather maps showing the exact weather conditions at more than 100 weather stations scattered throughout the country from Maine to California. The morning map is based upon observations taken at8 a. m., seventy- fifth meridian time, andthe evening map is based upon observations taken at 8 p. m., seventy-fifth meridian time. The weather reports trom which these maps are made are telegraphed in cipherand show atmos- pheric pressure, temperature, direction of the wind, state of the weather, amount of rainfall, dew point, wind velocity, maximum or minimum temperature and the amount and kinds ot clouds. All this information 18 given in a eipher message which rarely ex- ceeds seven words and is translatable at sight. The weather maps issued at this station show the position and intensity, areas of high and low pressure, the temperature of the air at theftime of observation, direction of wind, state of weather, amount of precipita- tion, and the change in the temperature during the preceding twenty-four hours. Where there has been a change in tempera- ture of 10 deg. or more, during the preceding twenty-four hours the areas are marked in colors, the red representing 10 deg. warmer and the blue 10 deg. colder. Sections having 25-100 of an inch of rain, or over are also marked ina like manner, black being the color used. The stage of the river is also received and tabulated daily at the bureau, a chart record being kept giving the stage of the water, change in the last twenty-four hours and amount of precipitation, if any. HOW OBSERVATIONS ARE TAKEN: In taking an observation the instruments used are the mercurial barometer, the ex- posed and wet bulb thermometers, maximum and minimum thermometers, the anemom- eter, the anemoscope or wind vane, rain and snow guages and eye observations of the clouds. The mercurial barometer is used to ascer- tain the air pressure. It isan instrument with a glass tube which stands perpendicu- lar and is filled with mercury, the rise and fall of which indicates and registers the in- crease or decrease in the atmospheric press- ure, The exposed thermometer is used to get the temperature of the atmosphere. This in- strument does not differ materially from the ordinary thermometer in general use, except that it is rellably accurate, being thoroughly and carefully tested before being put into use. The wet bulb thermometer is used to ascertain the humidity of the tem- perature. It is identically the same instrument as the exposed thermometer ex- cept that the bulb is covered with thin light muslin. This muslin when the temperature is to be taken isdampened and an apparatus known as a whirling machine is used to re- volve the thermometer in the airrapidly for several minutes. This is done to produce live air when the register on the thermometer indicates the atmospheric humidity. THE ‘‘MAX.’’ AN Dp MIN. The maximum and minimum thermometers are used to register the highest and lowest temperatures in a day. Both are set horizontally. Whereas all other thermometers are perpendicularly set. Mercury is used inthe maximum ther- mometer which is so called because the mer - cury, after reaching a point registering the greatest heat in twenty-four hours, cannot recede but has to be forced back into the bulb before it can perform its service the follow- ing day. The minimum thermometer regis- ters the lowest temperature in twenty-four hours, This is done by means ofa glass tube with a bulb which is filled with alcohol. In this is a small steel needle which registers the temperature. The needle sinks as low as the conditions and temperature will permit, but when there is a change and the weather becomes warmer it refuses to go up. In this way the lowest temperature dur- ing twenty-four hours is obtained. The anemometer registers the velocity of the wind. One portion of this instrument ts placed upon an elevation where it will be well exposed much the same as a wind vane. This has an electrical connection with a wind register located inthe Weather Office proper, which by means ofa magnet needle registers each mile as they are indicated from above. Theindicator consists of two round bars about fifteen inches in length crossed and on each of the four ends pro- jecting isattacheda metal cup, which re- sembies the half ofa brass ball, about five inches in diameter, WIND MEASURE. The cups all tend in the same way, and the bars to which they are attached are placed on a pivot which is connected with the register. The magnet needle taps the record marked down with ink, and at the end of the day — . — WOODBURY For The Conaultatioa free at ones er by AU. WOODBURY, 0.

The record is accurately kept, and all changes in the wind’s velocity are promptly noted. The wind vane gives the direction of the wind. This instrument consists in the usual arrow, such as is generally seen upon house- tops, except that its mechanism is kept in superb condition. The rain and snow guages furnish a pleas- ing study. Both are metal cans 10 inches in diameter and twenty-four inches in height and are exposed to the weather in sucha manner that their receptacles will be undbe structed. The water guage consists of a re- ceiver, an overflow attachment and measur- ing tube. The receiver isa tin funnel eight inches in diameter, which runs the water which falls into it into the measuring tube, which is 2.53 inches in diameter and twenty inches long. This tube when full shows just two inches of rainfall, or, in other words, its measurements are magnified ten times to ascertaln the exact rainfall, If this method ‘was not resorted to, a light rain could not be measured, but as it Is, the hundrehth part of an inch is accurately measured. | THE ELECTRIC REGISTER. measuring tube is a metal which rises above the it pours in and by ald of an electrical adjustment which is connected with the bureau measures and registers the rain by the hundreth part of an inch. The Overflow attachment is to save all the rain which may fall tnto the receiver within a given time, which at times is more than the capacity of the measuring tube can accommodate. On such occasions the tube is registered and emptied and the surplus water poured into it from the overflow at- tachment. The snow gauge which is arranged along- side the water gauge resembles an empty can with the top off. The snow which gathers in it within a specified time is first melted and the water it produces measured. One inch of water is estimated to produce ten inches of snow, and so when the melted snow shows two inches of water the snowfall bas been twenty inches. WATCHING THE CLOUDS. The observations of the clouds are taken with the naked eye. After years of practice the most emiment observers have found this method to produce the most accurate and re- liable results. Of course it becomes largely a matter of practice, but this is also true in the use of magnifying instruments, and their re- liability has to be largely depended on for the results. The St. Louls station of the Weather Bureau in the cupola of the Federal Building is in competent hands, and the efficiency of the managers is no better exemplified than by the splendid results which have been at- tained, ATTENTION, ENIGHTS TEMPLAR.

Warner should not fail to stand up for Missouri’’ and Missouri law against the hostility of his party organs. They indorse the Pinker- ton view of labor organizations and the Pinkerton way of suppressing them. THE fact that the President asked if the nomination of a certain man to be Post- master at Augusta, Me., would be agreea- ble to Mr. Blaine is paratied by his friends as an act of great magnanimity. The President’s friends know best his capacity for magnanimity and how small an act on his part may appear great. Ix the opinion of the local organ of plutocracy the refusal of FRick to give fair wages to his employes and his record as a labor-union breaker had nothing to do with the attempt of acrank to kill him. It wae caused solely by the refusals of his men to submit to his terms, which it ap- parently regards as & crime against law and order. „ THE resolution | of the Homestead Ad- visory Committee expressing sympathy with Frick and condemnation of his shoot- ing was timely and proper as a formal * 1 * "+. at 2 the atti : " os * 4 4 7 a : ‘ co hy 3 ae Cars 88 . “ a ; - : ; 2 5 7 +" - > 7 N 5 8 w 8 ‘oF : ; aks 2 88 . . ae : = . n * Due 72 a J ĩͤ ͤK ee a i n ? , \ — a 3 8 * „ * 2 — e 2 > towards such deeds of villainy, Noone believes that the Homestead men have any sympathy with anarchism and assassina- tion, but there are cranks who accuse them of it. 85 = —— n 111 9 8 THE IAMS CASE. Private Iams of the Pennsylvania mili- tia was guilty of conduct unbecoming a soldier and subversive of discipline when he publicly and in camp expressed his ap- proval of the shooting of Friek. He un- doubtedly deserved punishment and the degree of it was a matter to be regulated by military law, but the propriety of the manner and ostensible object of the pun- ishment inflicted upon him may be ques- tions. Subjecting him to torture to ex- tract a retraction and apology and to extreme degradation because of the failure to do so, savors more of persecution for opinion than of punishment for breach of discipline. It is especially important that the authority of the militia officer should be limited strictly to the mainte- nance of discipline and should not infringe in the slightest degree upon freedom of opinion except in so far as it affects disci- pline. The uniformed citizen clothed in brief military authority is prone to cut fantastic capers and nothing so tends to bring the militia into disrepute with men of spirit as the possibility of being sub- jected to unwarranted and unreasonable degradation through the exercise of epau- let tyranny. The zeal of authority seems to have been carried to excess in the case of Private Iams. i — A POINT TO BE SETTLED. The local Republican organ strenuously contends that the responsibility for the shooting of Frick rests with the working- men of Homestead, because they are ona strike. It argues that when labor unions or bodies of workingmen attempt to seeure what they may regard as fair wages by striking they thereby place themselves in hostility to law and order and must be held responsible for all acts of violence which may have any connection with their attitude, whether they have anything to do with it or not. This course of reasoning assumes that the mere act of endeavoring to better their condition steeps workingmen in crime. It takes no account whatsoever of any wrong or injustice on the part of em- ployers and requires the workingmen to submit to any terms imposed upon them. The assumption is that all strikes are in themselves unlawful and riotous and im- pose upon the authorities the duty of im- mediately suppressing or allowing em- ployers to suppress them as inimical to the peace of society and the rights of property. Should this view prevail labor organiza- tions would all be outlawed and the em- ployer could impose any condition upon labor with command of the full power of the State to enforce his decrees should his employes attempt by combination, which is the only effectval means they can use, to resist them. It is a practical denial of all the rights claimed by labor and an asser- tion of all the privileges capital wants to obtain complete mastery of labor forces. The importance of this newspaper view of the question arises from the fact that it is advocated by the organ of the Repub- lican party of Missouri. The people of the State are deeply interested in knowing whether the party indorses this platform, and, if entrusted with power, will carry it into effect and destroy the safeguards now embodied in our laws, assuring equal rights to all classes of citizens. They should insist upon being enlightened upon this point by the candidates of the party. —_———— Oe —- THEN AND NOW. * — Four years ago Republican workingmen were in high feather over the promise of higher wages from the higher tariff with which their party promised to protect American labor from competition with ‘*Hurope’s pauper labor.“ They honestly believed then that the law against imported contract labor would prevent employers from bringing in enough cheap foreign labor to depress the labor market at will. But they know now that it does not pro- tect them from competition at home with cheap foreign labor, and that the McKin- ley bill has, contrary to their hopes, ac- tually and largely increased that competi- tion, tothe sole advantage and benefit of protected employers. When warned four years ago that forc- ing up prices of American products in our home market by taxation would compel Americans to pay more for such products than other people have to pay and would certainly tax labor by forcing it to pay more for necessaries without increasing its wages, they laughed to scorn the idea that manufacturing corporations, trusts and combines could monopolize the bene- fits of higher prices and deprive labor of any share therein. They pointed confidentiy to ‘the labor organizations and boasted that these would find a way to extort the wage-earner’s full share of the increase in the price of products. But now they look back at a long series of wage reductions, lockouts and defeated strikes, in which the protected barons have triumphed over the oldest and strong- est labor unions and taught them how powerless they are with any weaponjexcept a well-directed ballot. .— The more complete the triumph of Mr. Frick and the Carnegie company over the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers, the more effective will be the object lesson which teaches workingmen that no labor union in this country is strong enough to secure any fair division of the swag when the power of taxing labor’s.gonaumptiow es the- necessaries of f -Missouri ss * 1 itn life is conferred on protected corporations, trusts and combines by the ballots labor | itself casts. ; If Maj. Warner at Sedalia stands up for free labor’s right to quit work unmolested by Pinkerton’s armed bands, and to ac- cept employment unmolested by any labor organization’s mobs, the Post-DIsPATCH will stand with him, But if he stands up for the position taken on that subject by the leading organs of his party in and Pennsylvania—if he holds that every organisation engaged in a strike is necessarily a criminal organ- ization, whose members may be rightfully shot down as armed traitors by Plutocra- cy’s Pinkerton Guards—the Post-D1s- PATCH will have to stand up for Missouri’s Democratic laws, and oppose all Republi- can efforts to foist the Pennsylvania situa- tion and methods upon thefree labor of the West. Has Maj. Warner the manhood to stand up for Missouri law against Plutocracy’s edicts and baronial armies? — — — @ —w — Senator Plumb's Widow. From the Chicago Times. The country owes a debt of gratitude to the widow of the late Senator Plumb. Following acustomthat has gained strength through recent precedents, there wasan appropria- tion of $5,000 for the benefit of Mrs. Plumb placed in the deficiency bil, When the matter was called to her attention she promptly asked that the item be stricken out, as she was not in need ofthe money. In thisshe gavea fitting re- buke to other wealthy widows of dead states- men who are drawing large pensions from the Government while enjoying handsome incomes from other sources. Tapley Elkins. From the New York Times, Mr. Stephen B. Elkins has authorized the publication of an interview concerning ‘‘the political outiook,’’ in which he says he does not see how the troubles at Home- stead can have any other effect, so far as the tariff is concerned, thantohelp the Repub- lican party. Mr. Elkins is unquestionably the Mark Tapley of the Cabinet. Coolness in New York. From the New York WORLD. Now fora hot campaign!’’ cries the Re- publican organ. Which does it want to thaw out—Harrison or Platt? THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. [No matter written on both sides of the sheet can appear under this head.—Ep, | Wanamaker on God’s Intentions. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: The Hon. John Wanamaker, in an address to the scholars of his Sunday- school, ex- pressed himself about the divine decree of poverty. It was, said honest John, ‘‘the evident intent of God that the majority of mankind should be poor; that where one man should oceupy a large house twenty should reside in small ones. The Lord Knew we were to be poor. He thought it was better for us that this condition should exist. Our saintly Postmaster-General would bave come a good deal nearer to the truth if he would have said something like the follow- ing: Itisthe evident intent of the protective tariff that the majority of the people of this country should be poor as long as they are fools enough to allow the favored few to ap- propriate the fruits of their labor; that where one man should occupy a large house paid for with other people’s money, 200,000 must reside in tenement houses on account of being legally robbed by those who enjoy special privileges. The Lord knew we were to be poor as long as we permitted a pack of sanctimonious hypocrites, tariff liars, perjurers, legalized robbers and kindred spirits to keep their less educated, but more honest, fellow-citi- zens in a state of unnatural subjection. If Mr. Wanamaker intended to practice what he preaches he wouid join the poor, but his conduct proves that he does not believe what he says. He is in no hurry whatever to lay up treasures in Heaven, but is perfectly happy and contented to perpetuate a system of legalized robbery that enables him to be one of the few who occupy a large house, while it permits him to make such enormous profits as to give him power enough over the 200,000 who must reside in tenement houses to have them ‘‘stood up and delivered’’ in blocks of five. Mr. Wanamaker’s honesty appears to be closely related to that of Sam Johnsing. Wifen Sambo was asked if Bre’r Johnsing was honest he replied: ‘‘Well, Idunno. He mought be, an den agin he moughtn’t. But I tell you what, Boss, ef Il was a chicken and Sam Johnsing was about I'd roost high.’’ UNCLE Tom, What Negro Republicans Get. To the Editor of the Post Dispatch: At the last presidential election in this city 13,000 negroes voted the Republican ticket, thereby securing for the Republican party three Congressmen from the city of St. Louis. What have we received for our fidelity to the Republican party? How many negroes have secured decent po- sitions under the officials, federal and city,in the city of St. Louis? Two or three intelligent negroes secured lacesas ‘‘spittoon artists’’ in the Federal Building and I am informed that a then prominent Republican Congressman con- gratulated them upon their appointment. There area great many white Republicans that like the negro voter very much, but they are not especially inlove with the political negro and especially if he is an aspiring one. There are Republicans that have been and will be candidates for an office of some kind who employ thousands of men intheir establishments in the city of St, Louis, and yet, with all their love for the negro, they won’t give him a chance toearn a living for his wife and children, and yet these men have the im- pudence toask intelligent colored men to support them for office. Just before election day they willtellthe negro how they love him, what hardships they endured in going to the war to battle for his freedom. I deny that they went forany such purpose. Some of them went because they couldn’t help themselves and others for 813 per month and upward, according to rank. The freedom of the negro was a military necessity and all intelligent negroes so consider it. ‘‘The mighty have fallen.’’ There are no more Sumners, Stevenses, Mortons, Sew. ards and Garrisons. They have de- parted, and the motives that ac- tuated them in behalf of the negro we shall ever remember and their memories we shall forever keep sacred. In conclusion, I beg leave to say that hereafter we will vote for men for office that are friendly to us, be he Democrat, Republican or anything else. A COLORED KEPUBLICAN, Illegal But Unpunished. To the Editor of the Post · Dispatcn: For many days past one of the St. Louis morning dailies has been sending to its sub- soribers inclosed in each paper a picture which it calls a tintograph, with the in- formation thatone of the numbers of these pictures will draw the lucky holder of that number a prize. It is weil Known that there is a law in existence for theesuppression of lotteries and forbidding the use of the United States mails to lottery advertising pers. As many of these pictures are blanks and only a limited number draw prizes, they are lottery tickets, pure and simple, and hence contraband of lawinthe mails. How is it that if some poor devil sets up shop to sell old-fashioned lottery tickets he is dealt with as the law directs, while this newspaper dis- tributes lottery tickets unwhipt of justice?

K. NIEDRINGHAUS MAY OPPOSE HIM. Business Men Contemplating an Open- Air Ratification of the Democratic Ticket The State Central Committee Chair manship—Gossip About the Fall and Spring Elections, It is the tip now in the Eleventh Congres- sional District that the Democratic enemies of Congressman John J, O'Neill are going to let him take the renomination without fight- ing him in the convention, and afterwards try to transfer him for the Republican can- didate. Mayor Noonan has given up all idea of running against O’Neill, because aftera canvass of the district he has concluded that the Congressman would defeat him badly in the convention, Such friends of the Mayor’s as Thos. A. Barrett, the Clerk of the House of Delegates, are conceding O'Neill the nom ination, but prophesying his defeat on elec- tion day. The Republican who will be used inthe effort to defeat the Congressman will prob- ably be either Thomas K. Niedringhaus or Collector Charles F. Wennecker. Both men arenow being sounded, atid are receiving assurances of Democratic support if they Will run. Young Niedringhaus is said to be much more popular with the masses than ex- Congressman F. G. Niedringuaus, and, of course, he would be supported by the Niedringhaus influence and money. Collector Wennecker’s term of office has made him well-known in the district. The Central Committee would have no choice between the two men for the nomination, although Mr. Filley’s personal choice is believed to be the Collector. One or the other of the men would be decided on before the convention and the nomination would be practically unanimous. The Democratic State Campaign. W. J. Stone, the Democratic nominee for Governor of the State, is expected here to- night, To-morrow the Central Committee will organize at the Laciede Hotel and map out the campaign. It is thought likely that C. C. Maffitt, the presect Chairman, will be made Chairman of the Executive Committee or Finance Committee, unless Harvey Salmon decides that his rheumatism will not allow him to assume the active duties of Chairman. Inthat event Mr. Maffitt will be re-elected. John H. Carroll will be one of the Executive Committee and so will Thomas Conner, the Joplin member, Thos. J, De- laney, Senator W. B. Teasdale and A. G. Sherwood, It is the custom to allow the chairman to choose his own secretary, the duties of the clerical office being in a large degree confi- dential. If Mr. Salmon becomes the chair- man, itis thought that Secretary Thos. L. Phillips of Perryville, will retire. He is a man who Is in — circumstances, and he lives at Perryville, a place too faraway from the center of campaign observations to be convenient. Baxter Brown or Mileage yan gk” is a candidate, but Mr. Salmon has not yet expressed any preference, and if elected chairman he may present a man to the committee who has not been mentioned so far. His nominee would, of course, be elected. Mr. Stone will hold a levee to-morrow when he arrives. The members of the Business Men's Democratic Club intend to call on him, and he will be visited, too by the delegates from the city who went tothe state Con- vention and voted for him, Democratic Business Men to Ratify.

QUENCHED WITH SODA-WATER. A Drug Clerk’s Presencs of Mind Pre- vents a Disastrous Blaze. From the Philadelphia Press. At 1:15 o’clock yesterday morning two young men while passing Funk’s drug store, at Forty- first street. and Lancaster avenue, ‘saw thick volumes of smoke coming through the crevices of the cellar doorand the tran- some of the store door. They rang the night bell of the store and Clerks McNair and Ben- der came rushing downstairs. As they reached the store floor they were almost choked by the smoke and fumes of gas that filled the room. McNair immediately began asearch of the store for tire, while Bender rushed into the cellar, When Bender reached the cellar he was almost suffocated, but he bent all his ener- gies to reaching the front, where the heater 8 located, and succeeded in doing so. He saw a flame curling up along the shelving of the gas meter, which is located under the front steps of the private entrance tothe building. Rushing to the front doors of the cellar he threw them Open and ascended to the pavement for air. As soonashe had recovered, despite the advice of the police officers who had hurried to the spot, he rushed back into the cellar, and, N disconnecting two ten gallon fountains of soda water which stood by the gas meter, turned their contents upon the flames, which were immediately extin. guished, The carbonic acid gas in the soda water smothered the flames more effectually thana patent fire extinguisher could have done. A well-known logician in speaking of the matter sald: For a century at least, soda water has been used to quench the burnings of fre- water in the human system, but it has remained for Mr. Funk’s clerk to use that ebullient and pleasing drink to quench the flames of burning gas in a céliar. Some doc- tors hold that like cures like, that one poison is an antidote for another. Mr, Funk’s clerk must now be a firm believer in that theory, for he has successfully patit into practice In extinguishing the fames of burning water gas by turning on a fountain of sparkling gas-water, * * New Use for the Bicrcle.

MEETING HELD BY THE MEN AT HURST'S | HOTEL, Strong Sentiments Against the Attitude bot Certain Reads Issued Over the Signatures of Two Well-Known Con ductora—How the Railroad Managers Claim to Have Dis covered Hold-Outs. St. Louis and Kansas City are the centers of astormin railroad circles which has been brewing for some time, and is now at its height. The storm covers a limited area, and does not reach beyond the passenger department, but within this territory it has become sufficiently violent to destroy the calm which has heretofore prevailed even in local passenger circles. It is said that the roads which pass through St. Louis and Kansas City have discovered a leak in the collections of the conductors which has already lost to them a large sum of money. These reports andthe rumors of detective supervision and special collectors have reached the local conductors, and at a meet- ing held at Hurst's Hotel yesterday the fol- lowing expression of opinion was uttered by two well-known conductors who run to Kansas City: . RESOLUTION OF INDIGNATION, . Whereas,a communication has bei sent out to the Associated Press and has been printed in various newspapers of this country which is calculated to do Wrong and injustice to railway conductors every- railway managers, it involving a sweepin and broadcast statement to the effect that all the conductors were dishonest, we do not feel like sitting still and allowing sucha publication to pass without protest. We, the under- signed, have been running passenger trains out of Kansas City for several years, and we know si- tively that any such alleged e ed- ness does not exist now—nor has itever existed during our many years of service with the companies we represent. e desire erefore ete. ge the columns of the press to repudiate on our behalf and in the interest of our families and all con- nected with us this most hurtful and obnoxious calumny. [signed W. wie Passenger Conductor, Mo. Pac. R. R., C. C. Divi- sion, No. 55, D. R. C., Kansas City, Mo. J os. FLOoRY, Passenger Conductor Wabash Railway, C. C. Divi- sion, No. 3. O. R. C., St. Louis, Mo. The sentiments of Messrs. Welch and Flory are seconded by their local brother conduct- ors, who deny the charge of erookedness. But withal, there has been trouble, due to the alleged discovery of theft by the con- ductors, but not either on the Missouri Pa- cific oronthe Wabash. The local railroad officials state that the shortages have been known for at least a month. They state that the principal sufferers have been the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and the Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad. ALLEGED METHODS OF FRAUD; The method whereby the railroads have been defrauded is by means of col- lusion between conductors on the several divisions and ‘‘steerers’’ for the roads at the depots. These passenger drummers, some- times styled ‘‘directors,’’ are said to have made ita practice tosteer travelers is from the ticket windows toward whic it is their business to guide them, and put them on the train. The passenger pays the ‘‘steerer’’ the fare, less a discount, and the conductor ornaments his hat with a colored card and gives him a letter to the conductor on the next division, who carrie the passenger through. The fare is divide between the steerer and conductors to the lossof the road. Kansas City is alleged to have been the center ofthis system of rob- bery, which is said to have exiended thence to the West. The unsuspecting passengers did not know that they were parties to a fraud of this kind, and itis even said that the conductors who honored the letters of introduction from the conductor on the other divisions were oftentimes innocent and merely honored the card of his brother conductor. It happened some time Ago that a gentleman with his wife and soa came through to Kansas City from Chicago, bound for the Southwest. He was indu to pay the **steerer’’ at Chicago and was given a letter to the conductor of the division over which he was to pass to his destination. When he reached Kansas City it was discovered that the conductor to whom the letter was addressed would not go out for three days. The gentleman was obliged to lie over at Kansas City for that length oftime. He was at a loss to know why he could not make immedlate cornection and his inquiries on this subject ledtoan official investigation. The Atchi- son informed the Missouri Pacific of the weak point sometime ago, so the officials of the latter road said to- duy, but on investigation the Missouri Pacific authorities discovered that they were not among the vic- tims to any considerable extent. The Atchison employed a detective to keepa watch on the conductors and re- ports from Kansas City say that his name was Crouch, Lhe remedy proposed by the roads Is to em- ploy a collector-conductor,whose soleduty it Shall be to collect fares. The conductor proper will then have his entire time to de- vote to the management of the train. COLLECTORS ON Sr. LOUIS ROADS. The Ohio & Mississippi road is the only road running into st. Louis which uses collectors. The Big Four uses them on its Ohicago branch running between Cincinnati and Chicago, but not bet ween here and Cincinnati, But four roads in the United States use col- lectiors. They are besides the Ohio & Mis- sissipp! and Big Four, the Chesepeake& Ohio running from Cincinnati to points Rast, and the Chitago, Milwaukee 4 St. Paul which uses collectors on all its divisions, Of these the Ohio & Mississippi road Was the first to put on collectors. The Santa Fe road inaugurated the innovation, but has discon- tinued to employ collectors. The system Is expensive, as two men are employed to attend to the duties which were performed before by one man. The Ohio & Mississippi road pays its collectors $100 a month. They make the run together with the conductor. It is said that this plan works to advantage on the big Eastern roads where the care of the train is so much more important and critical than elsewhere, but it it is intended to destroy the present alleged scheme to de- fraud the companies it doesn’t suit the case at all. The Missouri Pacific officials deny em- hatically that they intend toemploy col-* ectors, and insist that attention has been calied to their road asa victim of their con- ductors as a blind to divert suspicion the roads which are the real sufferers.

HE SUCCEEDS IN GETTING A GHANGE OF VENUE FOR HIS CLIENTS. * Bic Refers to His Forcible Commitment on Saturday asa Riotous Proceeding’’— He Pertuades.Judge Morris to Send Nina Marshall’s Case to Judge Pax- son's Court. , Although the atmosphere of the court- yoom of the First District Police Court was insufferably warm this morning, the place was crowded with people until after the cases against Nina Marshall, the keeper ofa Pine street disreptuable house, and her girls had been disposed of. Most ofthe yvisi- tors expected a repetition of the sensational ‘scenes of last Saturday morning, and were considerably disappointed when the announcement was made that the eases bad been transferred to another court and another day set for the hearing. Judge Morris opened court at g o' clock or shortly afterwards and Was still engaged in trying ‘‘cage’’ cases— those of prisoners not out on bond—when Marshall McDonald, Nita Marshall’s attor- ney, entered the court-room about 10 0’clock aud all eyes were at once directed to him. He walked up to City Attornéy Butler’s docket book and ran his finger over the first half dozen names on the docket, and as he did so Mr. Butler suggested to him to ask for A change of venue. It would be granted, he felt certain, althotigh some of the testimony in one of the cases has been heard. M’DONALD’S SPEECH. Mr. McDonald sald nothing in reply, but stepping upto the railing in front of the bench, he noddéd to the court, smiled and addressed Judge Morris as follows: In view of the riot which occurrea here Saturday, Your Honor, and ih view of the expressions of extreme prejudice from Your Honor in these cases, I presume that you do not wish to take any further cognizance of them.’’ presume that you and the defendants are justified in thinking I am biased in the matter, said Judge Morris, smiling good . Paturedly in reply. Mr. Mebonald: Don't Your Honor think 80 . The Court, still smiling: ‘‘I don’t know. Mr. McDonald: If you do, you ought on your own motion to send these cases else- where.’’ The Court: ‘‘lanswer you that I have no feeling in this matter whatever. Tou may think so, and you may have reason to think 60, but upon my honor I have no feeling against you or your clients whatever. I make this simply as a statement.’’ Mr. McDonald wanted achange of venue, but he wanted to get it without asking for it, and it now looked asif he would have to go on with the case before Judge Morris. He would not give np, however, and so after a pause he called Judge Morris’ atten- tionto the remarks he madeon Saturday, efter he, Mr. McDonald, had been committed for contempt, in whieh the Judge first in- sistedupon hearing the case through right away, and then, after consenting toa ~~ tinuance, stating that he wasor might be biased too much to give the defendant a fair trial: From your remarkable statements after 1 was dragged from the court-room last Saturday. sa Mr. McDonald, and then pausing as if thinking how he should word his remarks, he started again. I under- stand that your Honor—.’’ Judge Morris here broke in and did what Mr. Donald had been wanting him to do. Well, under the circumstances,’’ said the Judge, ‘‘I will send these cases to the Second District Court. How many are there?’’ Mr. McDonald smiled and answered that he believed there were five. Clerk McEnnis said that the fifth case was an old one, the girl having been arrested on another occasion and her case having been continued on account of sickness. Judge Morris asked if Mr. McDonald hada certificate from the doctor to the effect that she was still sick, and the reply was that he bad just sent out to see if there was one. The Court: Mr. McDonald, in these cases you will have to give another bond. I sup se the old bondsman will go onthe new nd. Mr. Mebonald: For a change of venue?’’ The Court: Les. Mr. McDonald: ‘*Very well.“ The Court: If you and the City Attorney agree on nollie prossing the Emma Hartman case I have no objections.’’ **Oity Attorney Butler: ‘‘I understand that she is laid up with the neuralgia.’’ Mr. McDonald: she is convalescent now, Iunderstand, and 1s pe about able to get here if it is required of her to come.’’ City Attorney Butler: ‘‘Under the circum- stances I will nolle pros the case.“ The Courtto Deputy Mafshal Fox: ‘‘Let No. 6 be nollie prossed.’’ NEW BONDS MADE OUT. Mr. McDonald now left court and went over to Pete 3 saloon and presently re- turned again with his bondsman, and new bonds were made out, returnable to the Sec- ond District Police Court on Aug. 3. Nina Marshall and the other three defendants then entered the court room and signed the new bonds, and after Pete Morrissey had added his signature to each, the cases were taken from Judge Morris’ docket, much to his Hon- or’s relif, as alsotothe gratification of Mr. Mcbonald and his clients.

The instant supposition was that the train had been attacked by robbers and the guards and trainmen in the adjoining baggage car grabbed their revolvers and guns and made ready for another battle. The shot was soon explained and all fears dispelled.

He legraphed to Nashville, III., where rs. Bea has two sisters resid- ing, but they promptly responded. that the had not seen nor heard anything of Aka. This response was especi- ally distressing, for the parents were pretty sure their child would visit that place. Last night both Mr. and Mrs. Bea arrived in Sedalia, and are making every effort to locate their daughter if shes sie be here. Mrs. Beard, whois very intelligent and refined, related the above facts to a Posr-DisrATORH representative at the Union Depot this morn- ing. Sheis ata loss to understand Alta’s action. There was no necessity for the girl to attempt to @ her own living, as she Was amply cared for at home. There is also probably no lover inthe case. Miss Beard is only 16 years old. She is rather short in stature and heavy set, and hasblack eyes and hair.

Forming a Syndicate to Build Upon the Site ot the Bircher Building. Considering the extreme heat there was an active inquiry for property in real estate cir- cles to-day, the demand being chiefly for West End residence sites. Owing to the mid- summer season there is not as much doing as formerly in heavy down town business sites, but prices are held very firm nevertheless. It developed to-day that the Bircher Build- ing, on Chestnut street, opposite the Laclede Hotel, a report of the sale of which appeared in the SUNDAY Posr-DisrAroRH, was purchased by Chas. C. Nicholls, E. V. P. Ritter and Charles K. Ramsey, and that they are going to form a syndicate for the improvement of the site, as stated in the original account published by this paper. The price paid for the property was $100,000. The property has a frontage of 65x115 feet, and some experts on values hold that the ground is easily worth $2,000, in view ofits admirable location ard the great number of splendid building im- provements in course of construction in the business center. It was reported to-day that a ninety-nine year lease of the Erskin property at the northeast corner of Eighth and Olive streets, had been agreed upon, but inquiries from parses who hold an optfon on the premises ailed to develop any facts on which to base the gossip.

SEVERAL WOUNDED Gamblers and Picnickers Indulge ina Pitched Battle, LIVELY TIMES AT THE BELLEVILLE GER- MANIA TURNVERBIN’S OUTING, } David Shelton Has a Thumb end Péter Miller an Ear Shot Off and Others Re- ceive Injuries—The Gamblers Escape— Mystery Surrounding Robert Wright’s Wound—East Side News. A pitched battle was fought yesterday at Queen’s Lake, where the Germania Turn- verein of Belleville gave a picnic. The dat - tle was between gambiers and picnickers, the trouble being caused by a gambling de- vice Known as the “‘thimble rigger, by means of which several Belleville men were beaten out of various sums of money. Ac- cusations of fraud led to.a fight in whicha score or more of men participated, and revolvers and knives were freely used. Two of the combatants were badly hurt and sev- eral were slightly injured. David Sheiton, a well-known naller of this city, had a thumb shot off and was cut in the abdomen with a knife. His wounds are not necessarily fatal. Herman Miller, formerly of Belle - ville, who now keeps a hotel at Queen's Lake, together with his brother, Peter Miller, became involved in the fight and the latter lost an ear, which was carried away by a pistol ball. A number of others were slightly injured by blows from clubs and hands. It appears that the gamblers and their confederates, who were St. Louis men, escaped without serious injuries. One man who was miistaken for a confederate of the gamblers, but who appears to have been a plain farmer, was chased by an an crowd from the pic: nic grounds to the ratiroad track where he cau & passing locomotive, and by cling- ing to the tender barely escaped his pur- suers. Twoof the latter grabbed the fleeing man’s coat as he jumped onto the engine, and elmging to the garment were draused quite a distance, being finally compelled to release Pheir hold when theflocomotive passed over a trestle. The wife of Herman Miller made a display of the heroism of which some women are capable, by shouldering a shot- gun and protecting her husband. who was at one time threatened by a crowd of gamblers. None of the gamblers were arrested, as they boarded a north-bound train soon after the fight. They took possession of one of the coaches and terrorized the passengers by firing off their weapons. At Memphis, the first station this side of Queen's Lake, they were with dificulty put off. They made a show of revolvers and threatened to fre into the train if the attempt was made to pull out and leave them. The firmness and coura ofthe conductor, and the appearance of weapons in the hands of some of the passengers, however, cooled them down, and the train, after a short de- lay, proceeded to St. Louis. Passengers on the train say some of the gamblers were very badly used up. TORE UP THE RAILS. For months past the people of Belleville have been angry at the street railway serv- ice, It has grown wretched, and the equip- ments have become eyesores. Yesterday morning it was found that some persons had given venttotheir dislike by tearing up sec- tions of the track on West Main street during the night. Therailstornup were so badly battered that they could not be relaid, and in consequence the running of cars nas been stopped. NOTES Henry Seltenreich,a Rentchler Station young man, who left this county some time ago, was brought to Belleville last night from Mount Vernon, where De had been arresten on a paternity warrant. A daughter of Frank Benedict, a prominent Turkey Hill farmer, ehargea him with being responsible for her delicate condition and caused his arrest. wedding performed in Justice Guentz’s Court this forenoon stfaightened out the deficiency. Selten- reich was brought to Belleville by Sheriff W. D. Tabb of Jefferson County. George Koliman died at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital to-day, aged 45 years.

Robert Wright, a switchman, was danger- ously hurtin the Wabash yards last night, and there is an air of mystery about the man- her of his injury. He was found lying un- conscious on the tracks, and was removed to St. Mary Hospital where the nature of his in- jury was ascertained. It was found that he had a severe gash in his . head, probably a fatal wound. It is not known whether he was struck by a train or attacked by some one who wished to do him injury, but his friends incline to the latter theory. The man has not recovered consciousness since he was hurt, and as his skullis fractured so that he may die at any time, there is little likelihood that the mys- tery of his injury ever being satisfactorily solved. NOTES. The body of John Sweeney, who was drowned while bathing in the river Saturday night, was re- covered to-day. F. A.

There is a report to the effect that the large pipe manufacturers of Philadelphia, Cinein- nati, Loulsville, St. Louls and Birmingham, Ala., have entered into a combine with a view to raise the price of large pipe from $20 to $26 per ton. The firms in these several cities are: R. D. Wood & Co., Phila- delphia; the Addystone Pipe & Steel Co,, Cin- Cinnati; Dennis Long, Loulsville; Shickle, Harrison & Howard. St. Louis, and Harrison & Howard, Birmingham, Ala. There are several other smaller concerns throughout the country, but these are prob- ably not taken into consideration by the pro- posed combine. Water Commissioner Holman said that he had heard nothing of the formation of a pool, but would not be surprised to see one, as there has beena great demand for large pipe recently. Allof that purchased by the city lately was from the Cincinnati concern, and was contracted for at $19.47 per ton de- livered at the yards here in St. Louis. The 1 of bids for about 28,000 tons of large pipe to be used by the city, will take place at the meeting of the Board of Public Improve- ments to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock, and if there is a combine Mr. Holman thinks the prices named then will show it. Eighty Degrees in the Shade. The maximum temperature in St. Louis yesterday was 96, but the maximum as re- corded by an accurate thermometer in one of the St. Louis & Suburban long open cars was only 80. The wise man does not remind his neighbors of the heat, but he takes a ride ina St. Louis & Suburban car to Wells, Nor- mandy and Ramona, conseious of the fact that the rapid motion of the cars creates 4 current of air and makes excessive heat an impossibility. In Judge Morris’ Ccurt. Judge Morris of the First District Police Court had ninety-two cases on his docket to- day, and the cage for prisoners was crowded almost to suffocation.

Jim Hunter, the man arrested with Ryan for driving off Dr. Mudd’s horse and buggy a couple of weeks ago, was to have been tried, but he succeeded in satisfying Mr. Holmes of the Humane Society and also the police that he took the ride on the invitation of Ryan and that u supposed Ryan had authority to drive off the buggy, and so his case was nolle prossed., Ryan is now in the Work- house. Con Morton, W. H. Darlington and August J. Somerville were in court for run- ning saloons without license, but the City Attorney was informed by a deputy collector that their licenses had just been issued, and so the cases were nolle prosed.

From the American Druggist. With the public at large the idea is prev- alent that the business of the retail drug- gist is one of immense profits, and that nec- essarilyany one with a little knowledge of pharmacy and a reasonable amount of money has only to open a store, hang up his sign, and his fortune is already assured. The funny (?) man of the daily press, the end man of the minstrels, and the low comedian of the comic opera all vie with one another in working off fresh ‘‘gags’’ on the druggist and his profits, making himin that respect the rival of the ancient mother-in-law and boarding-house source of supply for thetr al- leged witticisms. Theacme of all this was reached when a successful writer of farces saw a chance and made the druggist the leading feature in a skit called he Rag Baby. All this is well enough in its way, and so far as joking is concerned is harmless, but when the public begin to believe that such things are true it is time to call a halt. The retall pharmacist, owingto bis train- ing either in college or his apprenticeship in the store, must necessarily be in culture above the ordinary commercial men of his surroundings, as anyone with an ordinary amount of gumption and ability can tend a shoe store or run a grocery, whereas the first requisite for a successful pharmactst must be education, and this fact alone makes his business one entitled to be Moreover, the pharmacist oceuples an important position in the community as the natural ally and assistant to the phy- sician, and he must keep his surroundings to correspond. He must be neat in personal appearance, affable in manners and must be orderly and systematic. In short of no other tradesmen (speaking of him in a commercial sense) must as much be expected, and there- fore his position is above all the others. In a professional way his position is an import- antone. He must devote himself to hard study to acquire the knowledge nec- essary to properly conduct his pharmacy, and pass examinations (that is in most sections of the country) before entering upon his life's work, the same as the lawver, the physician, orthe minister. He must be a close student continually, and must devote time and attention tothe new discoveries in pharmacy and medicine in order to keep abreast of the times. His hours are long, his duties hard, and hislife a painstaking one, full of cares. Therefore is he not entitled to some extra compensation for such training and labors? But does he get it? Decidedly no, in consideration for his worr. Few and far between are the men who could make a good living out of true phar- macy (prescription wofk) alone, even if the profits on prescriptions are 100 per cent and over. The costof rent, clerk hire, fuel, light- ing and incidentals would greatly reduce his margins, so that for the support of his family and seif other lines have to be added. ber- fumery, tollet goods, fancy articles, water, patent medicines, all help to eke out an income.

Then, again, take the loss on deterioration in stock; the drugs and chemicals which change by time and exposure; the ‘‘patents’’ which were advertise so extensively last year, and are ‘‘dead tothe world’’ this; the „new drugs’’ which are written up 80 e6x- tensively in journals, and which physicians prescribe just once to oblige the manufac- turer, which stand upon the shelves as a re- minder of things that were, Then the pseudo-quackery which compels the druggist to keep a half-dozen different makes of quinine pills, for instance, to oblige a half- dozen different practitioners, while each lot are exactly alike except in labels. Another point: The druggist’s stock can- not be realized on, if deemed necessary, as can that of the clothſer or shoeman, either of whom could, in financial depression, close out business in a short time at a reasonable reduction, Therefore, if the pharmacist’s business was all profit—which it decidedly is not -it would be no more than just and no more than he should be entitled tothat he should realize a large profit, considering the time spent in educating himself and the heavy duties and long time imposed upon him. Pharmacy is a noble profession and a dig- nified trade, and the true pharmacist is en- titled to the respect and confidence of the public, which he has earned. ‘ MICHAEL KENNEDY ogee 45 years, unmarried and residing at No. 2634 ranklin avenue, while at work at 9:45 yesterday morning ona traveling beam atthe power- house of the st.

TEMPLE AND MR. sol. Lon BAUM’S EXPERIENCE WITH HIM. Palmer’s Attempt to Purchase a Big Lot of Grocery Supplies for Blanche King’« Disreputable House—Story of His At- iS tempts to Have Oheoks Cashed in This City. . Mr. J. 8. Palmer of Palmer, Mace., tothe name ofa gentleman who has been figuring in St. Louis and Belleville recently in a num ber of shady transactions. He is described as or medium height, well bullt, with dark brown hair and mustache, and while assum- ing the air ofa gentlemanly cattle ran and one familiar with the hardships of the plains, he is evidently possessed of the tastes and evinced the disposition to become a veritable Mr. Barnes of New York, had his questionable ways of raising the necessary cash not been brought to a sudden termina- tion in this vicinity. How long Mr. Palmer was in St. Louis and just how many victims he has left behind nim is not definitely known, as he is making himself very scarce since Thursday last, when it was discovered that he had forged the name of Mr. Charles Hertel, a wealthy farmer of Freeburg, Ill., to a note for $400. Mr. Palmer went from St. Louis to Belle- ville last Monday, and seeking Col. Casimir Audel,the Cashier of the First National Bank, introduced himselfas acattle dealer,and said he could makea sale to Mr. Hertel if the bank would aiscount a note of Mr. Hertel’s for $400 for thirty days. Mr. Hertel being good for that amount, Col. Audel consented to accommodate him. Thenextday Palmer returned with the note and wanted the cash on it. This the cashier refused, asking why Mr. Hertel aid not come with him. Palmer said he was prostrated at Freeburg, his home, with the heat, Upon inquiry this was found to be true, Palmer was then given a draft on the First National Bank ot New York for the amount, payable to the or - der of Charles Hertel. Mr. Hertel came to Belleville Thursday, and while admitting that the man had been to see him at Freeburg, he pronounced the note a forgery. The case was then in the hands of Sheriff Dawson of Belleville to hunt Mr, Palmer down. HIS Sr. LOUIS RECORD. Exactly how long Palmer has been in St. Louis isnot known, but about three weeks ago he made his first appearance at the gro- cery store of Mr. Theo. H. Temple, at No. 2601 Market street, and made liberal pur- chases of fancy groceries, which he ordered sent to the disreputable house of Jessie King, at 2120 Chestnut street. He was ac- companied on this first visit some of the girls, inmates of the house waited for him in a dragon the ou After this he made several visits to Mr. Tem- pel’s store and always ordered a liberal su ply of his best stock, paying cash for the goods and having them sent to the same address, On Monday evening, after he had been to Belleville and made his arrangements to have the bank discount Mr. Hertel's 2 he called at Mr. Tempel’s store ordered a supply which was larger and sete costly than any of his — purchases, The order consisted of fine erican Franco soups, Bass ale, Caviar, Spanish yee olives, best California canned fruits, sliced pineapple, Cross & Blackwell pickles, beef extract, cakes and a whole box of Cashmere soap. "It amounted to r Shes ap in payment Palmer check on the Palmer National of Palmer, Mass., signed by one Martin ank:; indorsed in the same name. The check was refused and Mr. Palmer told Mr. Tempel that he woes bring him a draft if he was afraid of the c Tuesday Palmer wane’ to Belleville and got the $400 draftas above mentioned and, —— 2 evenin presented it to Mr. Fen ae hat gen feman saw that the draf had every appearance of bein af enuine on its ones and almer that he ac Sekt: ain 5 Ftp eee for the 5 1 night f it turned out on investigation in the orn: — to de all right he would return him the balance. But this did not suit Palmer, so he went away with ‘his draft, but without the em eries, and Mr. Tempel nas not seen him since. Palmer, in his rounds about the city struck upa chance acquaintance with a city collec- tor for the National Cash Register Co., whose office is at Eleventh and Olive streets. Hav- ing been introduced to Mr.Sol Rosenbaum, the manager, he offered him the draft Wednesday morning and asked him to have it cashed for him. Mr. Rosenbaum had it sent to the National Bank of the Republic, where it was pronounced genuine in everything except the indorsements, and Mr. Rosenbaum was advised that unless he knew the signature to be that of Chas. Hertel or the man Martin whose name, by the way, and not that of Palmer, was ‘used inthe draft, he had better have nothing to do with it. So Palmer failed here to work his little game, and made matters more suspicious by showing some blank checks on the Palmer National Bank. Mr. Rosenbaum says that he willdoall in his power and give the police any assistance he can towards running down Palmer. It is 23238 that the wily Massachusetts man as succeeded in getting some one to cash the draft either in st. s or the vicinity, and —_ he may yet fall into the hands of the po- ce. Turkish Couriers. From Harper’s Young People, The ancient Turkish couriers always ran with dare feet, which grew so hard and ee titute of feeling that they are said to had themselves shod, like horses, with, Hane iron shoes.

Hutchison, Kan, to Sherry: None of ourstations admit any injury to corn adjacent, but some of them southwest of here reportinjury at next station west.

There is one ps uliarity, which has not been no- ticed in several seasons before, and that is apparent on some of the gumbo lands in the Red River valley. This soil was thoroughly soaked by the rain of the early spring. and seems to have baked so hard since then, that the frequent showers of the past ten days have not softened it up, and in consequence of this the grain is yellow and is not making any growth. General Manager Robinson ofthe Atchison, To- peka & Santa Fe Railway wires from Topeka, Kan.: Weather very warm, but do not hear of any hot winds from any source. Good rains are reported in nearly every part of the State, except extreme northeastern 1 and small section on Strong City branch. The general condition of the corn in the State is spiendid.’ Advices by mail and wire from most all parts of the country, say that the hot weather during the past week has been exceedingly favorable for corn, the unusual amount of moisture making the excessive heat very beneficial. This morning’s advices by wire from Western Kansas, however, say that hot dry winds are blasting the corn, and some parts of Nebraska and Kansas say they must have rain within within the next few days. The prospects of the potato crop in England are such as to induce the Mark Lane Express to believe „that the consumption of breadstuffs in the ap- proaching cereal year may be somewhat less than usual. The most favorable weather, however, cannot give England alarge cropof wheat, and we shall probably have to make arrangements to pur- chase some 160,000,000 bu to meet the food-wants of the nation in the coming year, says Dornbusch. San Francisco Daily Commercial, July 15: The market still continues dull, and ‘prices are weak, buth for milling and shipping. Stocks of old wheat are getting pretty well reduced how, and prices for milling are a littie firmer in consequence, ut gener- ally the situation is quiet and easy, without prospect of any great activity inthe nearfuture. Farmers are cleaning out their old stocks to some extent, but the new crop is ar- riving very slowly. Spot freights are dull. Report, from different parts of the coast vary greatly as to the present crop situation. Ina part of the Salinas Valley, that south of soledad, it is said the yield will only be about one-half that of last year, but in the other parts the prospects are good. From advices received from other sections of the State it is prop- able that a good crop will be harvested. Minneapolis Market Record of Saturday says: It is evident that the crops have stood the test of the season’s heavy storms In Dakota better than in Minnesota, taking the average of each. South Dakota is the best of the three States now. While the stand of grain is not better in South Dakota than it is in Southern Minnesota and in Central Minnesota there is less rust and danger of blight, owing to the heavy quality of the sollin this State, the rains and thé delayed season. On the Fergus Falls division Great Northern the 1 ession seems to be that the yield of wheat will be 65 or 70 per cent of last year’s, as the wheat is lodged in some places, while rust is evident here and there. The hay crop is well along, but the farmers have not been able to do very much with it owing to the wet weather, while corn and potatoes are prospering under the influence of the heat. On the Breckenridge division there are many complaints of heavy rains and other storms which have laid the 28 in spots, but the general outlook is good for an excellent crop, as some allowances must be made for the tack of conti. dence which precedes every Crop. Even last year, when the biggest on record was harvested, there were all sorts 91 dopressing reports in advance, MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH. 3 .—Wheat—Receipts, 122,000; Dac get advanced 80 Sept., Sdhsbe; Dec. , steady; Westera, 7578. 180,000; No. 2 firm, N e “Oats— 58, 2-b 4 pits heeps. 55 less 0. 2, 50e : aco — sales, 15 3 goon See Western, 30% 40% Aug. 5340; Sept., 35% 8016.

Me once had an over-religious member in this company,’ began t story-teller of Engine Co. No, 10, the other evening in reply to a request or a engine-house story, but he did not remain long. He was too good for a roman or, in- deed, any other vocation in this life. We got this religious chap through a transfer and I will never forget him. lle had not been in the engine house five minutes until he bega Singing, praying and D verses 0 scripture. Atfirst we allowed to ge ahead and enjoy himself, since stich conduct in an engine-house was something new. But when our zealous Christian brother began t whoop and crow around all night and negli ect his duties in order to attend to his devotional exercises the novelty of the thing wore off, It was no use to talk to him about the matter. He would not listen, but would tm. mediately begin a sermon on the heather blindness of his worldly comrades, winding up with an exhortation to those individuals to forsake their ways and foliow him. Final. ly the new member made his presence 80 offensive that one day, during his absence, a meeting of the firemen was called to — a cure. We were afraid he would violent if unrestrained. „Well, the meeting proved a success. That nighta section of hose was laid from the en- gine room in through our friend’s bedroom, and one end was snugly secreted under his pulow. When the religious fireman returned 10me he was in big low spirits, owing to the contemplation of his sinful career, and was inclined to be sulky, Finally he retired for the night ote ie the light out as usual. He had been in bed perhaps an hour, when from under the troubled sleeper’s head there issued a horrible groan. Ihen came another and another, the latter a muffled moan. In less than two seconds the fanatic was doubled up like a patent corkscrew and was filled with holy terror. The joker of the company, who had his mouth at the other end of the hose, then be- gan to mumble some of the passages he had picked up from his religious brother, though much modified and fearfully mutila ed, Prepare to meet thy fate,’ thundered a voice deep and awful. The victim writbea and shivered as he heard the wordsand knew not what to do. am the evil one,, continued the volce, and I say unto thee, repent thee and wee thee out of this company double quick or fire 8 damnation will encompass thee round- a 27 nat was enough. The terror- stricken victim jumped out of bed, seized his clothes and bolting down the stairs, darted out of the engine-bouse door into the night and was gone. He never came back.’ THE GREAT COIN TRICK. It is a Fine Illusion, but Can Fe Done Easily if One Can Palm Cleverly. From the Mail and Express.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., July 25.—That the stock- men who started acampaign against the **rustlers’’ of Northern Wyoming by killing twomen inJohnson County early in April willever have atrial now seems extremely doubtful. The prosecution wants to punish only about five of the forty-three men, but can not get at them without trying the en- tire party. Preliminary proceedings have required an outlay of $23,000, and it is figured that to bring the case to termination will cost $18,000 more. Jonnson County’s treasury is bare and the county’s efforts so far to raise cash have been without success. It is the belief ot careful people there thatmost of the in- truders have been sufficiently punished and that the prosecution wili be dropped within two weeks. One of the attorneys for John- son County is now at Buffalo trying to get fee money to himself and his two associates, who have contracted to carry the case to a conclusion for $10,000. They have not yet received installments due July 1. St. Louis to Denver, Colo., and Return Only $12 Only.

Sunstrokes in Chicago. CHICAGO, July 25.—The record of yester- day’s sunstrokes in the city and its environs, shows that the greatest number does not al- ways result from the highest temperature. At no time during the day did the mercury rise above 91 deg., still there were three times as many prostrations from heat as on Saturday, when the thermometer registered 92 deg. During the twenty-four hours ending at midnight last, twenty-five cases of sun- stroke were reported tothe police, three of which resulted fatally. The dead are George Eckerman, Charles Wagner and James Hen- nessy. Some of those prostrated, it is thought, will die. Cheap Excursions to Helena.

Zeller succeeded after a fashion yes- terday morning at 10:00 o’clock in accomplishing his design to leap on horseback from a steamboat into the river. The steamer selected was the Flor- ence and the feat was made on the east side of the Mississippi River. Zeller did not attempt the high leap from the hurricane deck, the horse jumping, or rather falling, from the lower deck. which Is only a few feet above the water. The animal after much difficulty was driven to the boat's edge and itsforelegs getting beyond the deck the horse fell intothe river. Zeller fell off him into the water, butclung to the bridle to save himself. He was rescued by some boatmear and the horse swam onto an island, where he is still standing up to his neck in muu.

There Were Two or Three Dead Horses in Nearly Every Race it is Charged— Garfield Park Will Abolish Its Foreign Book—BEase Ball, Pugilism and Sport- ing News Generally. Speaking of the Washington Park meeting that closed Saturday the Chicago Daily News says: In two senses only can the meeting be called successful—the number of records broken and the great attendance. Aside from that Brighton Beach cannot show a meeting so full of jobs which have gone un- punished, and which have been so complete- ly glossed over. Jockeys with a reputation for honesty have been afraid to go to the post, and at least three have confessed that they expected to be fined or suspended before the meeting closed. This, too, for no fault of theirs, Form-book men have closed their hands and woefully admitted that they could not account for the running at Washington Park. On no other track has gambling been so reckless nor the methods more hoggish. Bookmakers dared not make a fair book, for it was generally whispered there were two or three ‘‘dead’’ horses in each race. Nine out of ten of the long-shot winners were played tor a Rilling,“ and the butchery was highly satisfactory to the winner. The Shaw com- bination won heavily, though Chris Smith of the Kendall stable, it is said, isa heavy loser. Had Mr. Smith played his own horses as recklessly as he has played others he would have been a heavy winner. As it 18, he has found that others have profited by his success. Few ofthe betting men are in good humor and the charges that have been openly made in the paddock and the grand stand ought to have reached the ears of the members lolling in the club-house verandas. It may be said that these charges are not susceptible of proof, Fewracing jobs are, but men are often condenined by the speech of people. The reputation of a man for veracity affects his credibility as a witness and the past has always been interesting history when a man’s career of crookedness is exposed. * * If the public is dissatisfied the horsemen are more so.“ Thearticle concludes: ‘‘The meet- ing has caused any amount of dissatisfaction. It has added faster records to the track, but has been more prolific of turf scandal than any other ever held in Chicago.“ GARFIELD PARK’S PLANS, CHICAGO, III., July 25.—Authorities of the Garfield Park Club will carry out the pro- gramme which they have announced for to- day. The racing, they say, will be con- ducted strictly according to the State law, which permits pool-seiling on all races car- ried on by a properly incorporated associa- tion within an inclosed track. No attempt will be made to sell pools on foreign races, although the Garfield Park folks ciaim that Judge Horton’s decision was given after they had withdrawn from the case, but having been renewed, the de- cision will be respected. If, however, the police authorities attempt to stopthe races and refuse to recognize the State law the officials of Garfield Park will make no fight, but will bow to superior force for the present, even though they consider they have right on their side. They argue that ifthe authorities prevent the racing to-day when they are sell- ing pools only on the actual races run at the track, they must act inthe same manner, when the Northwestern Association of Trot- ting & Pacing Horse Breeders holds its meet- ing at Washington Park next month, for pools have always been sold at that meeting. It would also be an indirect attack on the reg- ular race meeting of the Washington Park Club,and as this was allowed to goon without molestation they see noreason why the police should interfere at Garfield Park. It was rumored yesterday that Chief McClaughey intended to throw a company of police across the track before the first race and make a vigorous attempt to stop the business. *‘*There will be no racing or book-making at Garfield to-day if the police can prevent it, said Chief McClaughey in reply to a question. He immediately qualifiea this statement, however, by adding: Of course if they get out an injunction restraining the city from interfering with them, the police will have to respect the law and obey the injunction.’’ Do you think it is likely, Major, that in view of Judge Horten’s decision that an- other judge will grant an injunction?’’ „Well. that is hard to say. They obtained en injunction from Judge Burroughs. who lives somewhere down in the country. There may be some scheme of this sort on foot now. Icannot believe that the men whoare at the head of the Garfield Park track will take the chance of riding down town in a patrol wagon. TRACK TALK. Wadsworth has broken down with navicular disease in both forelegs. W. Midgely, the light-weight jockey, has been engaged toride for Marcus Daily next year. Mr. Pierre lorillard has purchased the yearling brother to Morello. The colt is by Eolus—Cerese, andaithbough the price paid was probably 8,000 or 86.000, the figure is kept private. Judge Morrow is said to have put up 120 pounds and run a mile and a quarter last Tuesday in 2:07. On the strength of this per- formance he was heavily backed to win the Harvest Handicap, but he couldn’t reach 2:06%4, and Leonawell, Banquet, Stockton and Reckon beat him with ease. A Chicago telegram to the Cincinnati En- irer mentions Mr. Joseph D. Lucas of St. ouis as the partner of Messrs. Schorr and Steifel in the Gambrinus stable. Mr. Lucasis not and never was in any way connected with the stable, John Garela, trainer for the Gambrinus stable, trained last year for Mr. Robert J. Lucas, who dispensed with his ser- vices after Alfred K. 's victory at Latonia last fall, when Garcia, it is alleged, gave his present employers the information which caused them to back the horse almost off the boards, preventing Mr. Lucas from getting on his own money at the long odds which should have and did at first prevail. the BASE BALL, In ͤ all his campaigns as a leader of cham- pion base ball aggregations Capt. Comiskey has been fortunate in possessing great back- stops, says a Cincinnati writer, who is an ardent admirer of the great Commy. Al Bushong served him when he was in his prime and Tom Deasley, one of the most brilliant players whoever wore a mask, did his best work asa St. Louls Brown. Dolan was another good man in his time. When Cincinnati let Jack Boyle slip away— a green and unsophisticated * Comiskey took him and hammered dase ball sense into him untilhe ranked with the star receivers of the day, and by the way, he did more tell ing work when under Comiskey’s eye than he has done away from him. This year Comiskey has been given grand aid by Morgan Murphy and when Harry Vaughn took hold he en- couraged him when others seoffed and doubted. Jerry Harrington’s early follies were rebuked with emphasis and that the lesson was not thrown away is evidenced by the good work the big boy is doing now that he has been forgiven. BASE BALL GOSSIP. Harry Stovey has been batting and running the bases as of yore. If he keeps up his pres- ent gait he will easily carry off the base-run- ning honors of the big League. That Baltimore gang has developed intoa mob of sluggers. It takes something ofa pitcher to get through@he Monumental City without being touched up pretty lively. Jack Munyan, the well-known catcher who caught for the St. Louis Browns in the Asso- ciation last year, has joined the Butte (Mont.) Club. He takes the place of Jerry Harring- ton, who has been reinstated by the Cincin- nati Reds.

Mrs. Ruhling’s Bravery Averted an Awful Death. LONG BRANCH, N. J., July 25.—A thrilling scene was enacted last evening in front of the Star Hotel, in which Mrs. Mary Ruhling performed an act of bravery which saved her child from a horrible death, although she may lose her own life. Mrs. Ruhling with her two children, Katie, aged 3, and Edna, aged 3 months, board at the Star Hotel. The train of the New Jersey Southern passes the house. Last evening while seated on the piazza holding her infant daughter Edna in her arms, she was ‘startled by hearing screams and looking up saw her little daughter Katie on the rallroad track in front of an approaching engine, which was coming from the West End. Without hesitating and still holding her baby in her arms, Mrs. Ruhling rushed frantically to the rescue of her child. She paid no heed to the shouts of a dozen persons to keep back. The engineer saw the danger of Mrs. Ruhling and her two children and at once reversed the engine. Mrs. Ruhling dragged little Katie from the track when the locomotive was but afew yards away. Almost the next instant the brave mother was struck by the cow- catcher and throwna considerable distance from the track. The baby was knocked out of her arms and fell a few feet from where Mrs. Ruhling lay bleeding and uncon- scious. Physicians after making an examina- tion of Mrs. Ruhling, found that she had re- ceived a severe gash in the head and a dis- located hip and internaiinjuries. The baby was not serlously hurt. Mrs. Ruhling re- gained consciotisness an hour after the acci- dent, and asked if her children had been killed, Working for Pardons. CHICAGO, July 25.—There was quite a lively time at Uhlrich’s Hall yesterday when the re- port of the Committee on Petitions for the release of the Anarchists Fielden, Schwab and Neebe came up for action. The discus- sion was in reference to the political ques- tions involved in the movement. Fora while it looked like the whole movement might get stranded on the political rocks which the committee found tnits way. The matter was an effort to withdraw the name of his broth- er Oscar from the petition on the ground that he wished to get a definite answer from Gov. Fifer on the petitions now in his possession for the release of Oscar Neebe. The whole question was finally referred to an executive committee, with full power to act inthe mat- ter, so that the movement is very little fur- ther ahead than it was after the first meeting which was called at the same place about a month ago. An Experiment in Flax. Sr. Paul, Minn., July 25.—Ten dozen tow- els have been received here by John Kerwin and C. N. Bell, being the result of an experi- ment by these gentlemen with Minnesota ‘flax.

The flax now comes back in the shape of fine linen towels, which experts pronounce equal tothe finest ods of the kind ever manufactured.

PUBLIC TENNISSCHOOL, MISSISSIPPI RAILROAD TAX ON $6 A WEEK. Thousands of Scholars Pursuethe Study in Central Park. NEw YORK, July 25.—Among New York’s many summer institutions none is more pop- ular than the tennis school in Central park. The sessions of this school are held dally from the middle of May to Thanksgiving Day, under the auspices ofthe Park Commission- ers. Thenumber of pupils is about eight thousand, withan average daily attendance of 800. Those desiring to pursue the regular course may enterat anytime by writing to the Superintendent of the Park fora printed permit; these permits assign the holdertoa numbered court, either from g a. mto2p. m. or from 2 p.m. to 7 p. m., Mondays and Thurs- days or Tuesdays and Fridays or Wednesdays and Saturdays. All applicants pass a regular examination, before a park policeman, as to thelr under- Standings, and unless they are clothed in tennis shoes they are rejected. No other qualification is required. The scholars pro- vide all requisites except the ground. But the requisites arefew and rapid progress can be made on a small outlay. The management might furnish a Ist of references half a mile long, but it will be suf- ficient to say that O. S. Campbell, the pres- sent champion of the United States, was graduated from the Brooklyn Branch in Prospect Park, where he Jaid the foundation of his present greatness at atime when he had to stand on his toes to lock over the net. And Miss M. E. Cahill, who holds the lady championship of the United States, not only made her first American appearance several years ago at the New York school, but may still be seen there on many a pleasant summer after- noon, giving lilustrated lectures, without words,’’ to the admiring pupils, who cluster around and try to find out how she does it. It will probably not be long before some of these same pupils, now in knickerbockers and short frocks, will be disputing the championship with Mr. Campbell and Miss Cahill, while telling them, with ill-conceaied pride, that they “are old park players, too. Before 9 o’ciock in the morning the young pupils congregated at the little house, by far too small to serve its purpose, where the net ure kept, waiting for the hoisting of the Stars and Stripes, which indicates that the courts are open, eager to begin thejr studies, and from that hour on the meadow rings with all manner of shouts—‘‘ready,’’ play, out-. side,? no it wasn't, „on the line, „fault,“ double“ and the numerous odd expressions peculiar to tennis.

A visitor during a two-hours’ stroll around the two hundred and oad couris will see every variety of service and stroke that mortal male or female has devised. He will see little tots, boys and girls hardly taller than their rackets, and gray-haired men and women, with representatives of every intervening age, practicing the San- ford’’ and the ‘‘Lansdowne’’ and the Short Lift’’ and the ‘‘Backhand,” and the Out“ and the Straight Stroke’’ to their heart’s content.

JACKSON, Miss. ,July 25.—Under an act of the Legislature railroads doing business in this State are required to pay an ad valorem tax instead of the privilege tax as heretofore. It is urged that some roads in view of the impo- sition will be compelled to stop business in Mississippi. The total railroad mileage of the State is 2,459 miles. Last year they paid privilege taxes amounting to $212,895. Under the ad valorem law the taxes will necessarily be much greater. The Kailroad Commission, which finished its labors last night, put the assessed valuation of all the roads at 28,000, 000, an increase of $82,000,000 over the valua- tion rendered by the roads themselves. On this $49,000,000 the State levies a taxof 5 mills. The counties will levy from 7% to 12% mills and the levee districts through which the roads run may collect additional taxes for levee purposes. On an assessment of $49,000 000 it willbe seen that the lowest 338883 tate and county tax is 5612, 000 and a arger tax may be possible. It is possible the valuation made by thecommission may be Slightly reduced but eventhen the law will be burdensome. Express, sleeping car, and telegraph companies are taxedinthe same way but the Valuation here is small. The Finest Pianos for Rent at Half Price at Koerber’s, 1108 Olive street. City Hall Notes.
