Berkman Said to Be One of a Band of Murderous Conspirators. THE HOMESTEAD MILLMEN HAVE NO THOUGHT OF SURRENDER. Manager Frick Steadily Improving—Berk- man’s History and His Views on the Contest at the Carnegie Milis—Private Jones’ Story of His Act and the Ter- rible Punishment That Followed— O’Donnell’s Mission, PITTSBURG, Pa., July 27.—Unless one or the Other of the Anarchists now confined in the Central Station can be induced to make a con- fession, it is very doubtful whether the police at this end can accomplish much more in the direction of unraveling the meshes of the conspiracy surrounding the attack upon the life of Chairman Frick. The imprisoned men, contrary to the general habitsor practices of the element, have for once taken the pre- caution to cover their tracks behind them, anda thorough examination of the corres- pondence foundin therooms of Knold and Bauer developsthe fart that not a scrap of it bears a date within the past six weeks. Yet it can be proven by the Post-office officials that the mati of both men during that period has been much larger than for some time before. Detective Shore, who is Chief of the corps in charge of the case, is satisfied that the Anarchists had anticipated that a general search for aie ing documents would fol- low the atten pon Frick’s life, and that consequently ' took time by the forelock in putting alls criminating evidence out of the way. “ae list of Pittsburg million- aires and their residences, which was found among Bauer’s papers, will, it ts thought, prove an important piece of side evidence at the trial as indicating that they have had some sinister designs in view, which were directed against persons whose eee had been recorded. BAUER’S LIST OF THE RICH. Among these names are those of Mr. Frick, Henry Phipps of Carnegie, Phipps & Co., B. F. Jones and H. W. Oliver, the big iron operators; B. F. Vandergrift, the oil man, and two women, whose wealth exceeds a million. Bauer sullenly refuses to make any statement regarding the objects which caused the preparation of the list. The police are not yet thoroughly satisfied that Bauer is the man who accompanied Berkman tothe corridor of the Carnegie Building on Saturday morning and handed him a package, al- though they have evidence that the suspect was with the would-be assassin in the neigh- borhood of the Duquesne Club. The fellow who accompanied the latter to the bullding is described as being very tall, with dark hair and mustache, and Detective McTighe is making a house-to-house search among the Anarchistic colony in Allegheny for such an individual. Atonetime the de- scription seemed to fit August Adolph Von Wettach, a scion ofthe noble Austrian fam- liy, who was expelled from that country for his revolutionary ideas and has been very prominent among the Anarchistsin this re- gion. Some few months ago he was sen- tenced to thirty days inthe Work-house for talking anarchy on the street, and at that time considerable ammunition and literature of an incendiary character was found in his house. When the detectives made a raid on the place at midnight last night, however, it was found that Wettach had a beard ofa month’s growth and looked very unlike the man who had been described to them. He said, moreover, that he had become disgust- ed with the anarchists and their group and proposed to leave them alone in future. The detectives have not given up their quest and say they will raid both cities until they findtheir man. They consider, how- ever, that New York Is the chief field of op- eration and that the ramifications of the conspiracy will have to be sought in that city. THE PITTSBURG COLONY. Pittsburg’s anarchistic colony ts not very large, butitis very enthusiastic. There are only twenty-five Anarchists, and they live mostly inthetannery districts of this city. They are Germans, with a few Russians among them. The Pittsburg Anarchists are tanners and sausage-makers, but there area few print- ers eons them, On the day after the Pink- erton battle two Pittsburg Anarchists visited Homestead and distributed small handbills that were evidently of their own printing. These proclamations congratulated the Homestead steel workers, who were hailed as ‘‘brothers’’ on having killed a lot of Pink- erton thugs and pointed out how Carnezie, Frick & Co. bad oppressed their working- en. The handbill proclamations concluded y calling upon the Nomestead men to kill all their oppress. rs. Incidentally itis pleasantto state that the gteel workers captured the Anarbhists, ran them out of towuand threatened to throw them in theriver if they came back. But the Anarchists wereclearly much wrought up by the steel strike. What is more likely than that they shel- tered Bergman before he tried his band at assassination? The prisoner has utterly failed toaccount for the time of his depart- ure from New York, the place of his residence there or what he hasdone and where he has spent his time since he came to Pittsburg. MOST’S ARREST NOT ORDERED. At a consultation between Messrs. Knox and Reid, private counsel for the Carnegie company istrict Attorney Burleigh and Chie Public Safety Brown, it was agreed, soitis given out, that so far sufficient evi- dence had not developed to warrant the request to the New York effect Most’s arrest. It is bie, however, that this bluff for the purpose of throwing the New York suspects off the scent. The only sus- picious facts connected with Most are that he visited Knolds in this city at different times during the two weeks commencing June 27, that he told Knolds that Berkman was com- ing bere and that the latter, when he put in aD appearance at Knolds’ house,said that the address had been givento him by Most. This is regarded as circumstantialevidence of a kind, but rather too circumstantial to be of any account tn the present juncture or until it is reinforced by future developinent,. ANOTHER ARREST MADE. The arrest last night of Frederick Simmons, fc ppominens Turner, for distributing anar- chistic literature on the street has nocon- mection withthe Russian end of the affair, but he will be given a hearing next Juesday for Sseriueuns literature tendingtoward a ch of e peace, In his pockets were a number of tickets for the raffle in aid of the fund for the relief of the families of the executed Chicago Anarchists. The circulars he was distributing called upon workingmen to become Anarchists and set forth that an- morning, Attorneys Oox an application for the on Dail of James » a mill- worker, at Homestead yesterday on the of wiliful wee _— out of the 1 was reported that James Flannagan, James Flaherty and Samuel Burkett whe were in the original information with O’ Donnell and McLuckie, have left for parts unknown. mi So ng RA sae vanee. or McKelvey, with Superintendent of Police, has been especially vigilant and : the haunts of Anarchists are being watched day and night. When Inspector McKelvey was spoken to this morning he said: **At first I was inclined to think this mad- man was alone in this matter, but Iam now satisfied that there was an organized move- mentagainst Frick, and Ber n was only the tool of a number of conspirators who are sworn to commit muraer for their cause. In a few. days. there will be some developments that will startle the community. There are more Anarchists here than people suppose and they were getting ready to carry out some gigantic scheme. We were lucky in securing these people when we did, as anattempt would have been made on several of our prominent citizens, and there is no telling where it would have ended.’’ At2o’clock this afternoon two Anarchists called at the police station to see Bauer. They were arrested and gave the names of Carl Finster and August Tirnopk, both of Allegheny. There was nothing found upon their persons. ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A MILL. It was learned this afternoanthatan at- tempt was made to biow up Carnegie’s lower union mills in this city. During the temporary absence of the engineer someode turned on the gas in the furnaces. It was only discovered by the merest acci- dent and turned off before there was an ex- losion. Atthe time there were 144 men in he furnace department and many lives would have been lost. The miscreant is not known. Bauer, the Anarchist arrested yesterday, claimed to-day that there are 500 Anarchists in on and 1,000 in Western Pennsyl- vania. WILL NOT SURRENDER. THE LOCKED-*OUT MILL MEN NOT READY TO CAPITULATE. HOMESTEAD, Pa., July 27.—The story sent out by press agencies last night that Hugh O’ Donnell had been deposed from the leader- ship of the iron and steel workers Jocked out of the Homestead milisis denied by O’Don- nell and members of the Advisory Board. He also contradicts the statement that he counseled unconditional surrender to Frick. Everythingis reported quiet atthe Union and Duquesne mills. Both places are guarded by astrong force of watchmen, Dut the ex- treme heat of the week has had the effect of keeping the strikers off the street. The efforts of the few newspaper men from the East to bring about a compromise between the Carnegie Co. and the strikers has gener- atedl into a howling farce. leaders in question received from copy of certain con- which the men permitted to return to and thereupon they sought an interview with the advisory committee. This party, however, refused to give them aucience or allowthem to enter the meeting- room. Subsequent!y it turned out that the conditions turned over by supt. Potter with such a show ot maganimity was nothing more thanacopy of the original decision, formulated some weeks ago by the Carnegle Co,,and under which the men must renounce the Amalgamated Association before being taken back, and must accept the scale laid down by the company. O'Donnell’s departure for New York was postponed at the last moment yesterday, but he willleave to-day. The Advisory Commit- tee Is sending telegrams in ail directions this morning stating that O’Donnell was in no way connected in the attempt made by the newspaper men to settlethe strike and that it was not authorized by the Advisory Com- mittee, O’DONNELL’S MISSION. New YorK, July 27.—Hugh O’Donnell, the leader of the Homestead strikers, will be here to-day to continue the negotiations with the Republican campaign captains which were broken off last Wednesday when he left this city to give himself up at. Homestead. While here on his previous visit he was seen on the street with J. s. Clarksonand John 8. Milholland anditis said the latter told Mr. O’Donnell that the Republican party leaders wanted to help settle the strike. Mr. Milholiand offered several plans of compromise which were, however, rejected, among them being a proposition to obtain the Intercession of the President with Mir. Carnegie toward the acceptance of modified condition. Notwithstanding, Mr. Milholland gave Mr. O’Donnell to understand that the Republican leaders had determined to try and bring about a settlement of the strike. FRICK IMPROVING. ISSUED BY THE WOUNDED MAN’S PHYSICIANS. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 27.—The following bulletin was issued from the Frick residence this morning: ‘*Mr. Frick slept soundly nearly the entire night and. his condition this morning indai- cates a general improvement over that of yesterday. His respiration and pulse are normal, for the first time since the shooting occurred. He has a good appetite and ate as hearty a breakfastas when in good health. Kvery- thing now points to his speedy recovery, and the surgeons regard the present status of his case as unprecedented !n medical history. BULLETIN PRIVATE IAMS’ STORY. THE DISGRACED MILITIAMAN’S ACCOUNT OF HIS ACT AND ITS PUNISHMENT. PITTSBURG, Pa., July 27.—Private Iams gives the following statement concerning his offense and punishment: **A lot of us were lying inthe sheds, near the Colonel’s tent,on Saturday afternoon, when somebody came along from the signal station and said ‘Frick has been shot.’ I answered, never thinkingthat there could be a serious interpretation put upon my words, ‘Hurrah for the man who shot him,’ Col. Streator heard us, however, and, as the whole regiment can testify, he has been all alonga steady enemy of mine. raded the regiment some time afterward and demanded thatthe man who bad used these words shouid step forward and acknowledge them. Istepped forward and said it was I]. He made a long speech, in which he declared my language was treason to the State, An- archy, and all that sort of thing and de- manded thatIretract and apologize in the presence of the regiment.

I was then put into the guard-hbouse, where I lay all that night. **Many o — comrades sent me in lunches and beer, and the like, but I heard porning and knew nothing of any court martial, am prepared to swear, and bring the whole of the ‘Lenth, Regiment to swear, that no form of trial whatever was held atany time that night, Certainly I would have been brought before any that could have been heid if an American citizen any right to meet his before an impartial court belore he ished, I was not, Inthe morning, in the meantime had no opportunity Meet anybody or advise with an I Py brought ou of the guard:house ana half | my heaii shaved.

Boston, Mass., July 27.—Gen. B. F. Butler condemns in strong terms the action of the militia officersinthe punishment of Private Iams. To a newspaper representative the General said: ‘*That sort of punishment was not permitted in the war by any rule of war thatI know of. Cruel and unusual! punish- ments are as much prohibited by the Consti- tution in time of war as in time of peace, and that prohibition should cover every case. I know of no law, either in war or peace, that prevents a private soldier from expressing his sentiments upon any question whatever, provided itis not done in sucha boisterous manner astodisturb the peace; and I know of no proceeding which will justify pun- ishing aman cruelly and excessively for ex- pressing his sentiments by the Colonel, and then trying him by court-martial and pun- ishing him again for the same offense. The proceeding ts barbarous, cruel and unjustifi- able by any law in peace orin war, andif it is not reprobated so — and thoroughly by public sentiment that it will never occur again it will do much to disorganize our State militia, and prevent them from coming out when called upon.’’ Asto the treasonable nature of Iams’ re- mark, that he was glad Frick had been shot, Gen. Butler had thistosay: ‘*As treason 1s expressly defined by the Constitution as only levying war against the United States or against a State, or in adhering toits enemies, and giving them aid and comfort, what Iams said was no more treasonable in any point of view than it would have been if he had cried out ‘hurrah for hot cakes.’ ’’ Gen. Butler thinks that lams has good cause for complaint and may recover damages. ‘‘In the first place,’’ said the General, **Col. Streator should be tried bya military commission of the National Guards, and his punishment by that tribunal can only extend so far as to take away his commission. Then he should be tried by a jury for a cruel assauit, and putin jailor fined, and then he should be sued by the man and made to pay many thousand dollars, if he can pay it, for the outrage. That is all that ought to happen to the Colonel that 1 can think of now.’’ THE ENGLISH WAY. LONDON, July 27.—All of the morning pa- pers comment on the punishment inflicted upon Private lams. All assert that if the commander ofan English regiment treated a private under his command as Lieut. Col. Streator ordered Iams to be treated he would be court-martialed and dismissed. BERKMAN’S HISTORY. HOW THE YOUNG RUSSIAN STUDENT BECAME AN ANARCHIST. NEw YoOrK, July 27.—A Russian in this city named Louis Stroll, who lives at 96 Henry street, says he knew the man who attempted to kill H, C. Frick, and tells the following incidents of Berkman’s history. Stroll says that Berkman was born in Kowno, a large Russian Government city. He was the son ofarich business man of that place. His father is dead. His mother is living witn three brothers and three sisters of Berkman, The family live on the interest of the estate left by the elder Berkman. ‘The eldest brother of Berkman, Joseph Berkiman, is at present a clerk in Moscow, and has been there for several years. Theassassin Berkman was a pupil in the High School or college in Kowno, and was well educated. While he was at the school he had several times excited his fellow-pu- pils to revolt against the teachers and was a difficult scholar to manage. In 1885, shortly before the school examina- tion, berkman and his friends from the sixth class gave to the janitor 300 roublesto admit them when the teachers were absent. Then serkman and his friends stole the examina- tion bookxs in order to make copies of the questions that would enable them to pass the examination. They were discovered by a Siveespe and they were all expelled from the school, Soon after Berkman gota jobasclerk ina drug store, Kept by his uncle, named Nattan- sonn,in Kowno. There he got into trouble with other clerksin the storeand was dis- charged by hisuncle. In 1887 he came tothe United States with a friend named Aronstam and landed inthiscity. Here he found an old friend named Goldberg, an Anarchist, from the group known as the Pioneers of Lib- erty. Goldberg took Berkman to the An- archists, who meet every Friday evening at No. 56 Orchard street. Berkman was too lazy to work, and readily agreed to spend his time to help the anar- chistic schemes and listen tothe speeches of the Anarchists. He soon became a fanatic in the cause and declared himself an Autono-. mist. He lived then at No. 141 East Broadway with Aronstam and another friend named Michelmann. The latter is nowin Boston. Aronstam ts a good draughtsman and helped to support Bergman. In 1888 the Hebrew Anarchists issued an organ. the Jruth, in this city. Berkman be- longed toan Anarchist group called the Ar- beiter Zeitung Club, formed to raise money for the publication, but was expelled because he had accused the chief Anarchist of theclub, named Lewis, of being dishonest. Aiter that time Berkman and Aronstam lived together and a young woman kept house forthem. She was a member of the group known asthe Pioneers of Liberty and an agitator in the causeofAnarchy, She was expelled by the Pioneers of Liberty because of some scandalous acts in which a young man figured at their hall at No. 66 Orchard street, Kopeloff, the leader ofthe Anarchists, said at the time of her expulsion that he could not respect any woman who was a friend of Berkman, All the Anarchists in New York have, Mr. Stroll says, regarded Berkman as an Anar- chist crank. BERKMAN’S VIEW OF THE LABOR PROBLEM. Der Anarchist, a weekly Anarchist paper | published by Carl Masur of No, 3815 East Forty-fourth street, has a two-column article from the pen of Berkman in this week’s issue of the paper. It is headed, **The Trag- edy at Homestead.’’ It reads: What happened at Homestead between the work- ing classes and capitalists during the past two weeks is the birth of a new era onthe American labor question. The mejority of the American working | Ciass are blind to the socialistic side of the question. of self-made men; that ‘They believe in the old stor ey tothe method of be- is, that every man has the coming a willionaire, Those who do not believe this must believe that they are born asa beast of burden, that is to work continually. In no other part of the worid do the Capitalists trample on the workingmen with such brutality as they do in this country against all laws aud morals. ‘ibe public officesand institutions in city and State are used for squeezing money out of the people. ‘The American pacets can see tias every day.

The General, with real American brutality, made the strikers un- derstand that they did not come there for their bene- tit, bué they came there in the interest of the robber system.of capitalists. This was not sufficient to the workingwen, Who wanted to see what Frick & Co. would doin the works, with such labor under guard of cannon eee.

In the latter end they will ascertain that the working organizations as they are to-day will not be strong enougn to work against the robber system. They must learn that non-union men who are driven to workintheir places through hunger and starva- tion are their friends, and to us Anarchists it 1s left to sow the seed on good ground, so that Anarchism should thrive. And this trouble at Homestead must be the begin- ning of the crusade. c pleased with the idea ecab labor, ANOTHER GUITEAU. CHICAGO, Ill., July 27.—Dispatches from Pittsburg announce the finding of numerous letters from Chicago Anarchists inthe house of Carl Knold, together with several anar- chistic publications. Knold was arrested on suspicion of being connected with the Frick attempted assas- Sination. The finding of these letters infiu- ence the Pittsburg authorities to believe that anarchy in Chicago is not dead by any means. **I do not think the papers found in Knold’s possession indicate the revival of anarchy in this city,’’ said Superintendent of Police McClaughey. ‘‘These peopie write letters to their fellows allover the world, ‘They have their weekly meetings and all that, but there is no gieat activity among them. Mrs, Par- sons’ paper comes out regularly and never fails to roast the police, The same is true of other anarchistic publica- tions, but we do not;care to interfere with them aslong as they confine themselves to discussion and letter Writing. We merely keep track of their pr dings. If they try to commit any overt t we are prepared to meet itand know ex@etly where to place our hands on the gulity rticipants. ‘*1 do not think the?#Chicago agitators had anything todo with the attempt to assassl- nate Mr, Frick. My judgment is that it re- sulted’ from no prearranged plan, but was wholly the outgrowth of a disordered brain. Berkman to my mind had no confederates. He is simply another Guiteau.’’ MAY BE ARONSTAMM. Many ofthe Anarchists in New York are of the opinion that the nwho shot Frick is not Berkman (or rgmann), but a man named Aronstamm, intimate friend of Berkman’s, Aronstamm is 23 ye and slight build. He Berkman, and his we prisoner, He has a smooth sh cheek bones, very he large mouth and pec He, too, Is near-sight@d. Heisa more rabid §narchist than’ Berk- man, and of a more aggressive and energetic disposition, and this combination with his appearance leads sonte of hig acquaintances in this city tothink that heisthe man who tried to kill Mr. Frick. ‘this opinion has grown steadily since the shooting, and yes- terday it was held by most of.fbhe people who knew the two men. Aronstamm is the son ofa prominent drug- gist of Kovno, Russia. When quite youny he was senttothe Gymnasium, ‘the best school in his native city, and his father intended him for one of the higher callings of life. He early developed ability and taste for draw- ing. He became shiftiess and a source of trouble to his father, who at Jast was compelled to take bim from sch Dpishe his education. ree recap pisces In imitation Of the secret Nihilistic club otf the Russian universities, the boys at the ‘*Gymnasium’’ had also formed a club, and Aronstamm and Berkman became its leaders. There they developed their anarch- istic tendencies and attracted the attention of the local police. To save the boys from being sent to Siberia and to break off their connection with some of the mature Nihilists, whose acquaintance they had made, they were shipped to America about ffve years ago. ‘Their relatives in Russia told them when they left that they would haveto work to support themselves and that no money would be sent to them. Aronstamm had two uncles in this city, who, like his father, are druggists. Both were requestef from hometo provide him with work, and, if possible, get him steady employment itn which he could develop his ability for drawing. He got work on the /l- lustrated American, Dut left this position to work on Frank Leslie’s Iilustrated Newspaper. He kept up his connection with Berkman and both leda Bohemian Ife. Together they drifted into Anarchists’ circles and became members of the group ‘‘Pioneers of Liberty.’”’ Through his shiftlessness Aronstamm lost his position and then he supported himself by crayon drawing.

HEAVIEST RAIN ON RECORD. St. Paul’s Foundations Literally Washed Away. St. Pau, Minn., July 27.—This section of Minnesota almost had its foundations washed from under it last night by one of the most violent rain storms that has been experienced in St. Paulfor years. From 5:30 o’clock in the evening until 50’clock this morning the rain fell.in drenching showers. The effects of the storm were widespread and serious. Traffic onthe street carlines and on the railroads running out of the city was demor- alized. The electric cars are not allrunning yet to-day. Streets were torn up and washed out and roadbeds covered. Sidewalks were undermined and washed away, trees laid low ana gardens damaged, In the city cellars were tlooded and leaky roots caused damage to many buildings. Fortunately for the farmers the storm wasof a local character. Its width was not more than twenty miles, its limits being a few miles west of Minneapolis on the west and its eastern limits, Knapp, Wis., and southward as faras Hastings. At North Wis- consin Junction there was a violent hail storm, which lasted more than an hour, An incident showing the amount of rainfall is the fact that Lake Minnetonka raised six inches during the night. AS a raise of but three inchesin six months had previously been noted, this sudden flood overflowed the docks and uid some damage around the lake, In this city five inches of rain fell during the night, being the heaviest fall since 1879. Between 7:35 and 8 o’clock last night the rain- fall was aninchandabalf. Alleys suffered in this city and have not recovered, The storm was purely jocal, less than a tenth of an inch failing in the Dakotas, while in the Territory, over twénty miles away from this city, there was barely enough tolay the dust. rts of damage are coming in from the suburbs to-day. The loss will be well up in the thousands and it will take severai weeks to repair all the damage. i. de OBITUARY. Death of Moses &. Beach, the Venerable Newspaper Man. New Yorx, July 27.—Moses 8.

PLOTTERS EXECUTED _ Conspirators Against Prince Ferdin- and’s Life Pay the Penalty. | RUSSIAN INTRIGUE CHARGEABLE WITH THE ATTEMPTED REGICIDE. Morocco Insurgents Marching on the Sul- tan’s Forces at Tangier—Fismarck De- clares for the Austrian Alliance—Glad- stone Ready to Assume Office—Etna Again Active—Foreign News. Soria, July 27.—The four conspirators, Milaroff, Popoff, Ghorghieff and Karaguloff, who were recently tried by court-martial on charges of being implicated in’a plot against the lives of Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria and his Prime Minister, Stambuloff, were exe- cuted in this city at 5 o’clock this morning. A number of other persons who were tried with the four men have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment. The plot to assassinate King Ferdinand was revealed after the murder of Dr. Vulkovitch, the Bulgarian diplomatic agent at Constanti- nople, in Aprillast, Fifty army officers have been arrested here for implication in the conspiracy. The details of the plot showed that, aside from contemplated murder, it involved a plan of revolt onthe part of a considerable portion of thearmy. Prince Ferdinand had a narrow escape from being poisoned by strychnine at the hands of the palace cook. Fortunately the man was observed acting in asuspicious manner. He was watched and detected in the very act of placing the strych- nine in some dish he had prepared for the Prince and was immediately placed under arrest. Three attempts upon the life of Premier Stambuloff have been made within a year, the most daring of which was the assassina- tion of the Minister of Finance, M. Beltchof?, who was mistaken for the Premier by the murderer. The plot was revealed by Costa Ivanoff, a Bulgarian exile, brother-in-law of Mr. Pak- tchich, the President of the Belgrade Cabi- net. This Ivanoff was pardoned by Prince Ferdinand ata convenient moment and fur- nished with money to proceed to Sofia. He denounced the alleged plot concocted by his former comrades, the Bulgarian exiles, and gave precise information concerning the murders of Minister Beltchoff and 4Dr. Vul- kovitch, The information, given by Ivanhoff led to the discovery of aremarkable band of con- syirators living on Russian soll, and sup- ported by Russian money. The intriguing with the Czar on behalf of these conspirators is carried on by Gen. Ignstiaff and other high military men who are anxious toannex Bul- garia and fight out the unavoidable war with Germany and Austrian at once, The conspirators have been encouraged by the Czar, andthe millions paid by Bulgaria to Russia in connection with the Russian occu- pation have been applied tothe support of the conspiracy against the Bulgarian Gov- da ernment. The head of the conspiracy is the Bulgarian Committee of Instruction in St. Petersburg. This committee consists of five Bulgarian refugees and one Russian, Theharoff. There isa Committee of Execution in Odessa, act- ing under the Committee of Instruction in St. Petersburg, and issuing forit orders to ten minor organizationsin Galatz, Braila, Giur- gewo, Turn-Severin, Kalafat, Radujuvenatz, Belgrade, Nisch, Adrianople and Constanti- nople. To the Commtttee of Instruction is due the planning and to the Odessa Commit- tee the killing of Beltchoff and Vulkovitch, the repeated attempts on Stambuloff, the Panitza plot, and the conspiracy just dis- covered against the life of Prince Ferdinand. SLAIN BY SAVAGES, VON BULOW AND HIS MEN KILLED BY AFRI- CANS. BERLIN, July 27.—The Cologne Gazette al- leges that the African natives who recently repulsed Earon von Bulow’s forces in the Moshi territory, near Kilima-Njaro, had been supplied with a large number of Snider rifies and 30,000 cartridges by the British East Africa Co. Inthefighting between the Ger- man forces and the natives Baron Von Bulow, Lieut. Wolfram and twenty of the Soudanese soldiers attached to the expedi- tion were killed. The death of Von Bulow and the defeat of his forces recalls the terrible disaster which befell the expedition led by Capt. Von Zelew- ski, ashort time agoin the interior of Ger- man East Africa. Hehad with him about 1,000 men. When about 250 miles in the in- terior, in the country of the Wahehe , he was attacked by that savage tribe. He and nine of his white officers were killed or are miss- ing. Only twoofhis officers escaped to the coast. ‘Ihe Germans fell into an ambush, and were attacked by overwhelming num- bers. Many members of the expedition were taken captive, and it Is believed that at least 300 of them were killed, while about 300 re- turned tothe coast. A battle so costly in loss of men has never before been fought between the whites and natives of equatorial Africa. It is a curious fact that the events of recent years seem to demonstrate that smalland comparatively weak parties of travelers get along in inner Africa more safely than large and finely armed bodies. The big expeditions of Germany in both West and East Africa, and ofthe French under Crampel, north of the Congo, have been terribly defeated, and the bloody record of the past two years has never before been equaled in the history of African exploration, Baron Von Bulow took up the work of Ger- man colonization in ‘Africa where Capt. Wiss- Man, the German Stanley, left off when he lost favor with the Emperor and retired from the work. Kugene Wolf, the newspaper correspondent in German East Africa, telegraphs to the Tageblatt that Dr. Stuhlmann, the sécond in command of Emin Pasha’s expedition, ts ill at Bagamoho and that he is lying at the point of death, REVOLT IN MOROCOO, INSURGENTS MARCHING TO ATTACK THE SUL- TAN’S FORCES. TANGIER, July 2.—Great excitement and alarm has been created in this city by reports which have been circulated that the insur- gents are advancing on the city with the pur- pose of attacking the Sultan’s troops sta- tioned here, The Europeans living along the shore adjacent tothe city are fiocking into the town for refuge. The present revolt in Pomeceass bine hasten the session of the erence ca partition of Sultan pte gy pth coy tg There is little doubt that this result will be the outcome of the convention. At least four great Kuro powers are concerned in the acquisition of all Northern ” Here the great-caravan routes converge from all parts of the Sahara, and even from Cen- tral Africa and the countries bordering on the Guif of Guinea. France has thus tapped, diverted and must eventually largely con- trol the richest trade of.a major portion of the entire African Continent. Powerful British interests at Tangters are seeking and would be benefited by Morocco’s disruption; while the British Government has had more than one cause of regret since the wonderful achievements of France in Al. geria, and the recent marvelous delopments of African countries and trade, that it ever relinguished its former possession of Tangiers in 1684; previous to which, through Portu- guese cession, it had been held and looted by various English commandants for.a period of twenty-two years. Meantime Spain, the hereditary foe of the Moor, is gloating over the probable near downfall of his Shereefian Highness, Muley Hassan, and will, find her own full reward in simple revenge, though when the occasion of dismemberment comes a few additional crumbs wil] douotiess fall to her picking. The Sultan’s army is not prepared to check the invasion ofthe revolting tribesmen. It consists mainly of 10,000 infantrymen under the command of a former British officer, who some years since entered the service of the Sultan. In addition to the foot soldiers, there are aboutfive nundred rather poorly disciplined cavalry, afew batteries of fleld guns, commanded vy three French officers, and 2,000 irregular cavalry. The city of Tangiers, situated on an inlet of the Strait of Gibraltar, is poorly prepared to resist an attack from the rebels. The ma- jority of the Sultan’s soldiers are Bedouins, who are good fighters, but may not prove strong enough to beat off the hordes of Arabs how said to be In rebellion. Several distinct races comprise the. popula- tion of }'orocco. The Berbers inhabit the high plains of the Atlas Mountain region, while Arabs form the bulk ofthe population in other parts of the Empire, and in the coast towns are found the Moors, The whole population is estimated at 6,000,000. Hitherto the Sultan’s power was absolute,the lives and property of his subjects are at his disposal. BERLIN BUDGET. BISMARCK FAVORS A CONTINUANCE OF THE AUSTRIAN ALLIANCE. BERLIN, July 27.—Prince Bismarck, in his speechat Kissingen on Sunday, repudiated the assertion that he had become an oppo- nent of the Austrian alliance. On the con- trary, he emphasized the belief that the Germans should unconditionally and under all circumstances hold fast to the Austrian Alliance, which contained an important amelioration of the old relations. ‘‘While the North German Confederation existed,’’ said Prince Bismarck, ‘‘we had claims on the assistance of 95,000 Austrians. If we were at- tacked to-day we would have under certain circumstances a claim on the entire Austrian army. Weare both favorably situated,’’ The Reichzanziger announces that the Goy- ernment had been holding frequent confer- ences with the sanitary authorities, especial- ly Prof. Koch, in regard tothe best methoas to be adopted tocombat cholera.

THE SLAYER OF FREDA WARD PLACED ON THE STAND. Tears Wrung From the Accused and the Sister of the Murdered Girl—Scanda- lous Conduct Referred To—Ashley Ro- selle’s Close Call on Matrimony—Great Legal Battle. MEMPHIS, Tenn., July 27.—Mrs. W. H. Volkmar, sister to Freda Ward, took the stand this morning on behalf of the State, the defense having closed last evening, She had known Alice Mitchell since 1880, She was married to Mr. Volkmar in 1889, She never observed any peculiarities of conduct on the part of Mrs. Mitchellanditis not a fact that she never laughed or smiled. She was, indeed, a very pleasant lady andhad no sadness or gioom in her bearing. ‘‘Previous to 1889 Alice Mitchell liked my sis- ter, Joe Ward better than any of her sisters. When first Alice Mitchell visited my house in Gold Dust she conducted herself nicely and did nothing unladylike. That summer when she again visited us she was decidedly ounladylike in every re- spect. She came with Miss Lil. lian Johnson and both were inclined to act rude and wild, Tney ridiculed the country people and were inclined to flirt with people on the boats. Ireproved them, but Alice would say: ‘Come on, Lil, don’t mind her. You remember what I told you before I left Memphis.’ The girls’ conduct was shocking, positively shock- ing,’’ and Mrs. Volkmar burst into tears at her own recital of their conduct. ‘‘During the last visitof the girlsto my house I ob- served nothing unusualin the conduct of Alice and Freda toward each other. It is not a fact that they were constantly hugging and kissing sofar asI observed. I was always impressed with Alice Mitchellas an extremely sensibie girl, and I observed nothing to indl- cate that she was insane. 1 saw nothing more of Alice after that visit.’’ Ashley Roselle was the next witness. He is alittle man with small eyes and close cut hair. He worea pink shirt, blue necktie and blue pants. He stated that he resided at Featherstone, Ark., Just across the river from Gold Dust. He knew Freda Ward a couple of years before her death, Hecorre- sponded with her and also cor- responded with Alice Mitchell. He got about one letter a week from Alice Mitchell. There Was some talk of marriage between himand Alice in the correspondence, but they were not engaged, and he did not pro- pose marriage to her,and she never proposed marriage tohim. He never did think that she was in love with him. When he saw her personally he saw nothing out of the way about her conduct. _ struck him as being a fairly intelligent rl. The State proposed to place Miss Alice Mitchell onthe stand. Her counsel objected and a prolonged discussion took place. Judge Dubolise ruled that she could be made a witness. Miss Mitchell took the stand,and aftoera few questions about Freda Ward broke out intotears. Shespokeina low, musical tone of voice, plainly and promptly, ahd answered more like a child thana full-grown young lady. She satdéshe fotlowed Freda Ward to the boatto cuther. She tntended tocut her because shecould not have her and she was afraid Freda was going to marry some one else. She bad the razor in her dress pocket. She intended to cut heronthe boat. Justas she cut her throat Freda cried out ‘‘Oh.’’ Some one said something. Joe Ward interfered and she cut her also. She did not intend to cut Freda more than once and never intended tocut her up so. She has missed her ever since, but she is dead now, Sheintendedto cut her own throat also, but Jo Ward interfered and that kept her from thinking about it again. Jo Ward called her a dirty dog anda struck her with a parasol. That was why shecut her. She loved Freda Ward, had been loving herabout three years and she thought Freda was engaged :to a young man. In her correspondence with young men she (Alice) did not mean anything, she said. Miss Mitchell in a frank, childlike way described the scene and the trauedy. She would like to see Freda now. If she saw her again she did not know what she would do to her. She thought Freda Ward was beautiful, she was beautiful to her. She re- membered giving flowers to an actor once— only once. When she wrote to Freda she alsocried. She wrote her letters when she was in the kitchen or out in the buggy. She loved Freda more than she aid any of her own sisters. She took laudanum once be- cause Freda told her she was engaged to another. She was going to marry Freda and if she dressed like a man people would not know but what she was a man. she did not Know how she would support Freda, She had not thought much about il. She expected aiter they were married they would board and not keep house. Miss Joe Ward is pretty but not as pretty as Freda. She liked Lillie Johnson, but did notlove her. When they married, she would go under the name of Aivin J. Ward and Freda would be: Mrs. Ward. She loved her devotedly, loved her when she ctt her, and loved her yet. She thinks of her, and dreams of her, but not as often now as some timeago. Freda had light brown eyes, a brunette, and while she Knew that there were prettier girls in the world, she was She had een wanting to dicever since she cut Freda, and wants to die now. This closed Miss Mitchell’s examination, She was truth and frankness personified dur- ing her examination and convinced every- body that she is undoubtedly insane. The court took a recess. The turning point in the case was reached | when Dr. allendar was placed on the witness stand. His testimony created a marked in- pression on the officers of the court as well as | on the jury and the audience. Dr. Caliendar is the Medical Superintendent of the Central Insane Asylum at Nashville, He has had charge of 4,000 to 6,000 patients in the last two years, and hasa national reputation as an expert on insanity. He was one of the ex- | perts in the Guiteau case and it was largely on his testimony that Vresident Garfleid’s murderer was pronounced sane enough for trial. Dr. Callender not only gave his opin- ion that Alice Mitchell was insane, but gave his reasons very fully, deducing his opinions from the history of the girl from the time of her making the acquaintance of Freda down to the present time, taking into account the presumption of insane rendency in the fam ily. Keginning with the family history, the insanity of several blood relatives of irs, Mitchell and the taimt of insanity which showed in Mrs. Mitchell, he showed how such ataint was liable to be transmitted from mother to child.

THE WEATHER, Prospect of an Abatement of the Torrid Spell. At last there is a prospect of relief from the hot spell. There is not likely to be any material diminution of the temperature until a late hour to-night, and the cool wave may not reach this city before to-morrow morning. But by noon to-morrow it is rea- sonabiy certain that the thermometer will have fallen to 80 deg. and possibly lower. Those who leave their houses in the morning had best take their umbrellas, for in all likelihood they will need them, asthecool waveis ac. companied by rain. It is not regarded ag | pepe that rain will fall to-night. At noon he advancing wave, which originated in the Northwest, had reached Central Dakota, and was moving southeast rapidly, How long the cool spell will continue cannot yet be predicted, as the northwestern limit has not yet come within the range of observations of the signal corps. At the present rapid rate of motion a large wvody of cool air could pass within a short time, but there may be a very large area of low temperatare in the rear of the advance guard that is now approaching St. Louis, or there may occur a diminution in the speed, whic may resuit in along period of moderate tem- erature. It is probable that to-night will e the coolest for several days, but the main fall in the thermometer is not looked for until to-morrow. IF you want a nice cold melon goto Peters at French Market.

Sewer Explosion. Several People Killed and a Number Se- riously Injured. NEW LIGHT THROWN UPON THE CAUSE OF THE UPHEAVAL. Digging in the Ruins for Bodies To-Day —Clemens Kreibohm Among the Latest Reported Missing-—Narrow Escape of an Iron Mountain Train—Sewer Com- missioner Svuthard’s Statement—Con- dition of the Injured, A yawning chasm from 600 to 1,000 feet in length, and from 15 to 20 feet deep, extending eastwardly from South Fourth street toward the river, just south of the Iron Mountain Depot on Chouteau avenue, marks the line of the most terrific and disastrous sewer ex- plosion that has ever occurred in this sec- tion. From the sidewalkin front of prem- ises 1014 South Fourth street, and following the line of the Mill Creek Sewer to South Sec- ond street, the entirearch ofthe sewer was ‘blown off about 4:25 o’clock yesterday after- noon, and the earth on top of it piled upinembankments on either side several feet high in less time than it takes to write these lines. Several people were killed and a number injured, but that there were not hundreds of people killed or injured and hundreds of thousandsof dollars’ worth of property destroyed is due simply toa fortul- tous course of circumstances and the fact that the archway of the sewer happened to give way first under the terrible outward pressure to which it was subjected, ina por- tion ofthe city where there were but few people passing at the time and no buildings except one were erected over the line of the sewer. Five minutes’ later the Arcadia accommodation on the Iron Mountain Road would have pulled out from the Chouteau avenue station laden with passengers for all suburban stations and must have passed directly along the entire line of the explosion. The yards and tracks in the vicinity were compara~- / ively deserted at the time, and beyond the ‘Gdamage done to a few cars anda general upturning of the ties and rails there was no serious damage done. Of course the damage to the sewer itself is considerable, and will entail upon the city the loss of thousands of dollars to be expended in repairs. Two men and one woman killed, five or six severely injured, andthe probability that at least two more bodies are in the ruins of the wrecked house, complete the list of human fatalities and accidents. The direct cause ofthe explosion is stilla matter of conjecture. From opinions gathered on all sides last night, some of which were published in the morning papers, the general view taken of it was that it was caused by gases generated in the sewer from the naphtha, gasoline and oil which flowed into the sewer after the Waters-Pierce oil fre last Friday. The mouth of the Mill Creek Sewer, where itempties into the river hear La Salle street, is at present some three or four feet belowthe surface of the water. This has naturally caused a backing .up ofthe waters in the sewer, and it is claimed that there being no outlet for the light gasoline and oils floating on the surface they have accumulated at the lower end and generated gases which have in some myste- rious manner spontaneously exploded. Tfhis still seems to be the theory of it entertained by Sewer Commissioner Southard and Chief Lindsay ofthe Fire Department; but the stateements of Mr. H. Clay Pierce, President ofthe Waters-Pierce Oll Co., and those of Chief Sanitary Officer Francis absolutely re- futethis theory and showa more piausibie one from entirely different sources. The statements of these gentlemen are given in full below, and Mr. lerce’s in particular will be read with considerable astonishment and surprise by the general public. ' The following isa list of the dead, injured and missing. DEAD. CARL E. FUEHS, 1014 South Fourth street, residence 2043 Sidney street. CHARLES MILLER, Dartender, 1014 South Fourth Street Mrs. JOHN TIMPE, 1014 South Fourth street. INJURED. R. J. TUNSTALL, real estate, 620 Chestnut street, residence 3416 Washington avenue, scalp wound and left hand badly mashed, is doing quite well this aiternoon. JACOB MOGLEY, leg broken. Two chilaren of Mrs. John Tympe, injuries the heavy smoke had cleared away and the ‘work of rescuing begun. One of the first vic- tims to be extricated from the fallen mass of ‘timbers was Jacob Mogley. He was pinned down by a-large beam, and when taken out found to have his leg broken, and to be de. sero gt Bg mene ge of the noxious ; e s remov n an nce ~~ City ha ge eaieaae " r. Richard,.J. nstall, a real estate who resides at 8116 \ asuington avenue, had a marvelous escape from instant death, He to take : | slight. had gone to the Fourth street depot an Mountain train for Arcadia, and ing ahead of time for his train was just stepping in the vestibule of the saloon when the explosion occurred. He was huried against the side walland fell in the general collapse, landing bruised, stunned and half suffocated into the sewer. He floatea throughan opening out into the breach, clinging to a box, where he was seen by persons lining the embankments. The firemen Were notified and he was finally res- cued by means ofa ladder at.a manhole near Second street. He was taken to the Dispen- sary, Where the wounds were dressed, and then sent to his home on Washington avenue. The upper stories of the building, which were occupied by wr. Bowler and Mr. and Mrs. John Temple ana their two children, were not dam- aged by the explosion. Dr. Bowler made his escape by means ofa ladder, but Mrs. Jno. Tempe, with one of her little boys, was standing at the top of the stairway lead- ing from the first floor, and when the col- lapse Came she anu the boy were precipitated below. They were taken from the debris and removed to Schneider’s Hotel, 1104 South Broadway. The boy was not seriously in. qured, but Mrs. Tempe had her left ear blown had not * cating oils. We rtainly barrels more than twenty-five or thirt the fire and from those who éaw the fire I am informed that their contents must have been nearly all consumed in the flames, ‘*The bulk of the oll at the works was in two tanks, which are filled by meansof pipes running to them from East St. Louis, where the ollis pumped underthe river and tothem. At.the time of the fire the tele- aph wires connecting our works with the , St. Louls works were cut down and it an hour and a half before we could to East S8t. Louls and have the umps stopped. All this time the ofl in faese tanks was burning and as that which was pumped under the river from the Other side was coal oil when it reached the tanks, it was lickedup by the flames and nearly all the combustion took place in the air. SO much so was this the case that these two tanks are standing intact to-day, noth- ing but the outer iron weather roofing being gone, ‘*There was absolutely no overfiow of oll trom these tanks. When the fire depart ment first arrived streams were turned on the top of the tanks, but from instructions pares by Mr. Finney, our Vice-!’resident to thief Lindsay, this was stopped at once and _é subsequently § all that was done was tokeep the sides cool and let the oil burn. As I said,these were iubricating oils, andeven if twenty or thirty barrels of them had been run into the sewer they would not have generated sufficient gas to blow open a hogshead, No; you must look for the cause of that explosion elsewhere. What caused the fire at our works? It was the explosion in a sewer under the works which blew off the top of get wo of. She was horribly bruised and lacerated the manhole and ignited theoll. Now, I hold f pe } j Wpi | y Hi) i j hi about the body and died of her injuries about 6:30 o’clock. Mr. Tunstall stated that as he entered the doorway of the saloon he saw three or four men ontheinside. Of these the bodies of Carl Fuchs and his barkeeper, Charles Miller, were taken from the ruins last night. A brother of Charlies Miller assisted in the search for him. He was said to have been heard moaning beneath the wreck just a few minutes before his body was recovered. When taken out, however, about 8 o’clock, all signs of life were extinct, and the mangled remains were turned over to the grief-stricken brother. Tne body of Mr. Fuchs was recovered about half past 10 o’clock. He had a terrible gash on his head and was horribly mangled about the body. The grief of his 20-year-old son was ex~ tremely affecting as the remains were being brought from the ruins. They were taken to his residence at 2043 Sidney street. It was stated that there were two more bodies in the wreck, but at 11 o’clock the work of rescuing was stopped for the night. Anumber ofthe firemen were overcome by the deadly fumes arising from the sewer dur- ing the work of rescuing the victims, Al Guheon of Truck No. 4 was sent to the Dis- pensary, where there was considerable dif- ficulty experienced in reviving him. OVERCOME BY GAS. fe Foreman Finnegan of Company No. 4 was overcome, butrevived shortly afterwards. Constant relays had to be put on the ruins as the mencould not work forany length of time in the cellar without becoming sick. The only other accident recorded last night was that to Bridget Margaret, residing at 918 South Tenth street. She was in bed atthe time of the explosion with her 4-days’ old baby. Both were tbrown out and injured. She was sent to the Dispensary and thence to the City Hospital. CLAY PIERCE’S EXPLANATION.

CLEMENS KREIBONUM of Krelbohm & Gaus- mann, liquor dealers, residence 2158 Victor street. — MUCKLEY. ‘ CAME WITH TERRIFIC FORCE, It was just about 4:25 p. m. when the south- ern portion of the city extending from the Four Courts eastwardly along the line of Chouteau avenue, and parallel streets as far as the river, was started by a dull, rumbling sound like that of distant thunder. It was followed almost instantaneously by three loud explosions, and the caps on every man- hole along the line off@he Mill Creek sewer ene blown from six totwenty feet high in he air. Over a thousand feet of the earth extending from the rear ofthe saloon of Carl E. Fuchs at 1014 South Fourth street, back through the Iron Mountain Yardsto Second street, were heaved up and piled on either side of a yawn- ing chasm twenty or thirty feet deep through which ran the slimy oll-laden water of the Mill Creek sewer. Fora score or more of feet on either side of these embankments the earth was seamed and torn in places with openings from three tofiye inches in width. Freight cars, ties and pieces of broken ralis were uate up here and there along the wide breach and the general appearance was chaotic in the extreme. A section ofthe front wall and the enttre fower floor.of the three-story brick buildin in which was located Mr, Fuciis’ saloon, ha collapsed and disappeared from the level. of Fourth street. Fumes of the burning naptha and gasoline ured out of tne opening in thick, stifiing clouds, threatening suffocation or asphixiation to the firemen and others ho bad arrived on the scene and were mak- rts to get to the unfortunate who were im in the Moans and for assistance plainly short while just returned a day or twoago from the East and was not presentat the time ofthe big fire at the company’s works. ‘*Yes, [have read the accounts in the morning papers, of the explosion,’’ sal Mr, Pierce inanswer toa question, ‘‘and I have noticed that the general opinion of the pub- lic is that it was caused by gases ven- erated from naptha, gasoline and olls which flowed from our works into the sewer at the time of the fire. Now per mit me to inform you and through the Posr- DISPATCH the general public, that since my return I have maflea thorough examination of the cause of the fire at our works and the results liable to occur from it from the oils washed fnto the city’s sewers. ‘*In the first place I-can state positively and our books here at the office will show it, that nota single pint, no hor a drop, of naptha or gasoline was burned or lost in any man- ner, except possibly by evaporation at our fire. The tanks holding. the crude and refined naphtha or gasoline, for all gasoline belongs toa certain class of naphtha, areas solid and intact to- day as they were before the fire. They were never reached by the fire nor was,an ounce from any ofthe tanks drawn or run off into the sewer before, Quring or after the fire. These tanks are surrounded by heavy brick wallsand covered with a water roof twelve inches deep. ‘his roof is not so much used as a preventive of fires as to save the naphtha lost by evaporation, it being very volatile. Now, so much for the naphtha and any of these oils were sewer at the time explosion, and persons who were at the fire say that there was an unmistakable smell of gasoline in the vicinity Ie bniy add that it did not come from the Wat@#s-Pierce Works. As to the olls burned at fy fire our loss was sorely that arising, af the ordinary Uluminating and iobri- that the same conditions existed in the sewer west of our works at the time of the fire that existed yesterday in the Mill Creek sewer. ‘“‘The same conditions exist to-day, forl have had the water at both places examined, Probably you will find that the naphtha came from a point west of us.’’ ‘‘You mean the old water gas plant at Eighteenth street?’’ **Exactly. I belleve they have been run- ning that lately.’’ SEWER COMMISSIONER SOUTHARD SFEN. Sewer Commissioner R. R. Southard when seen this morning by a Post-DISPATCH re- porter at his office in the City Hall said: ‘‘I do not see how the charge of negligence can be attributed to me ortothis department in connection with the explosion yesterday. My men were cautioned about entering the sewers in that section of the city, because we have haa severalexplosions there recently and I did not carefor themto run any un- necessary risks. These orders were given bDe- fore as well as after the Waters-Pierce fire.’’ ‘*‘Did you not Know that a quantity of oll was run into that sewer at the time ofthe fire?’’ ‘‘Of course I did; but I certainly did not expect an explosion fromit. What could we do? The mouth ofthe sewer at the river its still under water, and as the oil is lighter than water it floated on the top of the sew- age and had no egress.’’ ‘*Could it not have been pumped out?’’ ‘*How? We could not skim it off and be- sides where would we have pumped it ex- cept from one sewer into another? It was one of those unavoidable accidents for which I cannot see any blame attaches to this de- partment. It was undoubtedly caused by the accumulation of gases from the gasoline and naphtha. mixed probably with sewer gas, whichin some unknown way De- came ignited.’’ CHIEF LINDSAY 8 OPINION, Chief Lindsay said that in his mind the ex- plosion was undoubtedly due tothe ignition insome way of the heavy gasoline vapors which had accumulated near the mouth of the sewer. **About how much naphtha, gasoline or oll went into the sewers at the time of the Waters-Pierce fire?’’ ‘*T] could not say, but there must have been considerable, Ido not think that even ifthe caps ortops on the manholesof the sewers had been removed that a sufficient amount of the gas would have been liberated to have prevented the explosion.’’ WHY FUCHS WAS WRECKED. Residentsinthat neighborhood recall the fact that in 1882 the Mill Creek sewer gave way at just this locality and flooded that re- gion, and the city had tocontest a lot of dam- ave suits. It is said that Fuchs, who was in business next door, bought the site of the saloon where yesterday he was killed. When he came to take outa permit to build, he desired to excavate over the sewerfor acellar for nis liquors. It became necessary to get the per- mission of the Board of Public Improve- ments. Col, Flad strenuously opposed giving the desired sanction on the ground that it would weaken thearch of the sewer, and he delayed the matter fortwoor three months. Col. Flad reasoned that the sewer needed all the superincumbent embankment or filling- that point that it possibly have. But final- 1 Fuchs got his permit and dug his cellar and put tp his saloon. In order to get anything of a cellar he had to skinthe top of the sewer down to the brick work, and even then he got up about five feet of height at the Fourth street end of the building, and possibly a foot or so more at the other end, Yes- terday’s explosion proved the correctness of Col. Flad’s forebodings, as the portion of the sewer blowm out exactly corresponds tothe portion excavated; at the building line the superincumpent six or eight feetof earth abundantly withstood the explosive pressure, CLEMENS KREIBOHM A PROBABLE VICTIM. Mr. Clemens ©. Kreibohm of the firm of Kreibohm. & Gausmann, liquor dealers, Is supposed to be one of the victims of the Carl EK. Fuchs saloon disaster, which occurred yesterday by the explosion of the Miil Creek Sewer. Mr. Kreibohm was in Carondelet yestercay and had visited a number. of his customers, among whom were Joseph Diel, Peter Frank and Simeon Simon. About 2:48 o’clock in the afternoon he boarded a north bound train to Sst. Louis, and since then nothing has been seen or heard of him, About 10 o’clock last evening Dr. L. F., Waibel received a telephone message asking if Mr. hkhreibohm was in Carondelet, Messengers were dispatched to vari ous saloons where the gentlemen in question tre- quented while on business in this 1 cality, Word came back that Mr. Kreibohm had left St. Louls on the 2:48 train. ‘this morning his son called at Dr. Waibel’s office and at Mr. Diel’s and Frank’s in hopes of learning the whereabouts of his father. Mr. Kreibohm did notreturn home and his family were very anxious about him. It isthe supposition here that after leaving the train at Fourth and Chouteau avenue he visited Oarl Fuchs’ saloon and was there at the time the accident happened. Mr. Krie- bohm resides with his family at No. 2158 Victor street. * TIMPE CHILDREN ALL RIGHT. The Timpe children do not appear to have been very seriously hurt. Both were around the neighborhood this morning. They are being looked after by the neighbors. in front of the hallway to Mrs. Timpe’s rooms*in the second story there has been nearly all day the pet dog of the Timpe family. it barks there, unmindful of the for a eae. a ae , De ie nd ee Fa : lett Rie Ee Bois 3 ee et 4 by os hod ia eek Ne ae ot these olls about the yards at the time of. crowd, an interesting example of animal de- votion, FUCHS’ COAT Founp.

Brahammer,watchman at the raliroad crossing on the corner of Second and La Salle Streets, was among those who had quite a narrow gpg ‘I saw a wagon com- ing down the street,’’ saia he, ‘‘and lieft my little watch-house to see {if there walking down the track, I walked back and had hardly taken my seatagain whenI have & Vivid recollection of hearing a tremendous noise. My little shanty was blown over, ana was tossed up in the _ air. When I regained consciousness 1 thought the world had come toan end, as I never saw sucha sightin my life, Thefirstthing I did was to look for the two men I had seen on the track before the explosion occured, Dnt they were not in sight. I have no idea whether they went down into the sewer, or whetherthey escaped, but I would judge that they had just about time to reach the street where thecars went down when the report was heard. I don’t know whothe men were, as this isa thoroughfare and pedestrians are continually crossing the tracks,’’ A STRANGE FEATURE, Nearly or about one thousand yards below Fuchs’ saloon, is the largest excavation, and while Isaac Marks, a whisky drummer, was sight seeing this morning, he discovered two barrels of whisky end upinthe sewer. ‘‘Look athere at these barrels of whisky,’’ said he. ‘‘There is something strange about that. Those bur- rels are fullof whiskey, and they could not be carried down by the pressure of the water any more thana barrel of shot, and they could not be blown along under ground a thousand yards, I should not think,.’’ RAILROAD DAMAGE, Work of clearing away the wredked cars and repairing the wisted-up rails began in earnest this morning at 9 o’clock. Engine No. 652 and truck car No, 26, together with a force of 300 men, after arriving at the scene of the disaster, erected derricks and proceeded to save the flatand box carsthat were laying top side upatthe bottom of thesewer. Temporary tracks are being laid until the city can repair the damage to the sewer, which will be several months. One of the earliest visitors that viewed the scene in this local- ity this morning was General Superintendent Frick of the St. Louts, Iron Mountain & Southern Railway. After taking a bird’s eye view of the situation he remarked: ‘‘I never saw the like in my life before. Well, it can’t be helped, and we will have tolabor under disadvantages until this sewer is repaired. Our damage to property will not amount to much over $1,000, asI think we willbe able to save the cars in the ditch.’’ | TURNED ON THE ALARM. F. R. Frank, with the N. Waldstein Lumber Co., 1101 South Levee, was the gentleman who turned in the first flre-alarm yesterday evening. In relating his experience he said: **‘When I heard the report I was in the yards on the north side of the office Waiting fortwomen that I had just sent to the yards on the south side of the of- fice. ITheardarumbDling noise, and at the same time saw the lumber pilesin the south yard fall and pile up in reckless confusion as if a cyclone had struck it. I concluded that the Waters-Pierce Oil Works—that fs a branch of it, located just west of the yards—had blown upand the lumber would soon be in flames, I next hurried into the yards, fully expecting to find the ten men that i had sent on an errand, buried under the lumber, Dut luckily they had just left the entrance gate, and were not seriously in- jureda.’’ The loss sustained by the N. Waldstein Lumber Uo. , will be something over $500. MRS, TIMPE’S FUNERAL. The body of Mrs. Catherine Timpe, who lived over the saloon and who was killed by being thrown from the back porch, was re- moved to the undertaking establisiment of Eberle & Keyes, at 904 South Fourth street, from which place the funeral will take place at2p. m.to-morrow. She will be buried at St. Peter and Paul’s Cemetery on the /and 22 years. Gravois road. She was 46 years oldand was the mother of tour children, aged 13, 16, 20 The youngest and two oldest are boys, the I6-year old one being a girl. They with their father, John Timpe, are stopping with friends. JACOB MUCKLEY AMONG THE MISSING. A young man visited the scene about 9 o’clock and identified a coat found by tne firemen last nightin theruinsas that of his brother, Jacob Muckley, a tobacco wrapper employed at Miller & Worley’s Tobacco Man- ufactory at 214 Pine street. Muckiey is about 35 years old and lives with his mother and brother in the vicinity of the accident, Heleft the tobacco factory where he was employedand didnot return home last night, and did not show up for work at the factory this morning. Itis believed that he is one of the persons stillin the wreck. VIEWING THE WRECK. Thousands of people viewed the scene of the explosion last night, a large crowd being present until daybreak. This morning people from all overthe city came to look onthe wreck, and the large detail of police had dif- ficulty in controlling the curious mob. Officer Gus Ries was in a predicament early this morning that caused him to make use of some sentences that are not familiar in Sun- day school rooms. He was the only officer on duty on Chouteau avenue, i be- tween Second and Third _ streets at 7 o’clock this morning, and fully 3,000 curt- osity seekers had gatheredin the vicinity to view the ruins. Officer Ries found that it was impossible forone man to keep such a surgine mass of humanity back from the banks that were continually caving in, and to prevent further loss of life he exhausted himself in endeavoring to stretch a rope around the ruins. **Women are four times worse than menand they congregate around here apparently indifferent as to whether they are carried into the sewerand to deeth or not. They do not appear to know what danger is. If they do, they take more risks thana man would.’”’ FORMER EXPLOSIONS. Chief Sanitary Officer Francis said: ‘‘*Not long ago I was called on by the Mayor to in- vestigate the cause of an explosion inthe Rutger street sewer, which was a few blocks south of the present one, It was thought that they.were caused by the residuum from a rendering establishment of Mepham & Son or that from the Lungstras dyeing and cleaning establishment. I inves- tigated the two places thoroughly and found that there was nothing of an explosive char. acter from either place ever turned into the sewer. It was caused wholily and solely by sewer gas, by reason of the fact that the sewers in that section are so constructed that it is utterly impossible in tiMesof high water along the river front for these gases to escape. The manholes there are capped and screwed down so that no gas Can escape from them. I recommend the use of open gratings over these holes as the only remedy. ‘*as for the explosion yesterday [ am of the opinion that it occurred in the same way. I do not think it was due so much to naphtha gas or gasoline gasastosewet gas and the possible admixture of illuminating gas from leaky main pipes. The Mill Creek sewer have some means of being ventilated. I suggested con.- nections be made withthe smokestacks of some of the large factories along its line, or that the city construct some of its own to carry off these gases. As long as the man- holes remain capped as they are at present there are bound to be accumulations of gases and explosions will surely result. ’’ THe most pleasant evenings are ‘those spent in St. Louls & Suburban open cars run- ning between Sixth and Locust streets and Ramona. Temperature never exceeds 80 degs. MARSHALL M’DONALD DISCHARGED. Judge Claiborne Decides That Judge Morris Had No Right to Commit Him.

Business Transacted at the Meeting of the House and Council. Both branches of the Municipal Assembly were in session last evening. Acting Mayor Walbridge returned a number of ordinances providing for street openings and the ordi- nance settling the benefits of the change of grade on Union avenue from Delmar to Cabanne. City Counselor Marshall an- nounced that the damages allowed for the opening of Garfield avenue were $1,900 and for the opening of Ohio avenue $4,711.25. Mr. Arnstein introduced a resolution to request the Board of Public Improvements and the City Counselor to submit to the next General Assembly of the State a law constituting the basin of the River des Peres a drainage district. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Cole intro- duced an ordinance to appropriate special taxes in Sewer 4; also an ordinance pro- street railway compabies pay $2,500 a year forthe use of bridges, the city to grant the right of passage to other companiesandto tay an maintain the tracks. The following ordinances were passed: Toestablish Euclid avenue sewer; appropriating $1,000 for the relief of Jonn Lindsay, Chief of Fire Department; regulat- ing the running of electric wires; to establish a green-house in Forest Park; appropriating $1,000 for fencing in the grenade occupied by the animalsin Forest Park; Sporent ee $300 for the improvement of O’Fallon Park; appropriating $1,200 for the purchase of ani- mals for Forest Park Zoo: making additional appropriation of $150,000 for the erection of the new City Hall; appropriating $48.17 for the relief of 8S. S. Quinette. A concurrent resolution introduced by Mr. Arnstein toadjourn Aug. 2 to Oct. 18 was adopted. A motion by Mr. Cole that no rall- way bill be considered by the Council until after the recess was carried. The garbage bill was ordered toengrossment. After some other business adjournment was taken nnoatil next Friday evening. Chairman Wehner gave notice that the Council Railway Committee would meet Thursday afternoon to consider the various railroad bills, especially the Grand avenue and Manchester road bills. THE HOUSE. In the House there were fifteen members present. Mr. Cronin introduced a resolution to appoint a committee of five to investigate the management of the Poor-house. Mr, Cronin was appointed chairman of this com- mittee. Mr. O’Brien of the Thirteenth Ward introduced a resolution tolearn what steps had been taken to remove unauthorized railway tracks. The concurrent resolution for the late adjournment was iaid over for one week, The Ladies.

INVESTIGATING CHARGES, Railway Conductors and Officials Exam- ining Alleged Dishonest Practices. The Grievance Committee of the Brother- hood of Railway Conductors did not hold an official meeting this morning, and nearly all of the committee have left the city. The members were exceeding- ly uncommunicative concerning the business transacted at the meeting, and said that nothing of importance had been done. the city consultation conductors. Itis stated by those interested in the matter that a close investigation Is be- ing made of the charges of dishonesty brought by the railroads against cer- tain conductors. Tnese men, it is said, are mainly in the employ of the Iron Mountain, and yesterday a demand was made upon the officials of that and other lines for specified charges and names. The Grievance Committee has no desire to sbield guilty persons, butitis strenuously opposed to general charges that throw all under suspicion, ft 1s understood that an investigation is now going on, in which both railroad officials and rep- resentatives of the conductors are taking part, andthat as soon as a conclusion is reached another meeting of the committee will be called. The present trouble has im-j pressed upon the conductors the isolated position in which they stand, and has led to an effort being made to forma union with the other employes actively en- joyed in union trains. This includes the locomotive engineers, the firemen, the brakemen. The brakemen, understood, are anxious to with any or all of the The firemen are inclined toa union, but are in the habit of following the lead of the ens gineers. The switchmen and yard em. loyes have all along been desirous of form- ngapartof a general railway union. The trouble has been that the locomotive engineers have stood aloof andonly con- sented to an amalgamation onterms which would practically leave them perfectly in- dependent, so that no strike or other retaliatory measure could be resort- ed to without their consent, Many of the conductors argue that the objections that might be raised to a general union do not ex- ist when a union of those engaged in running trains is contemplated, and at the Septem- ber meeting of the order steps to that end will be recommended. Carondelet Mlll Resumes. The Carondelet Planing Mill resumed operations this morning employing union men under the new scale of ten hours pay for nine hours work. Yesterday the Chairman, John Green, called on Mr. H. F. Reis, Presf{- dent of the mill, and aftera lengthy conyer- sation, departed with the assurance that the mill would resume work on the scale asked for by the strikers. The mill employs twenty men, and all were reinstated but two, Frank Hartman anda man named Sstratman. threatened the man who refused to quit work. Why Stratman was not employed the management refused to say. Carpenters’ and Joiners’ Convention. T. W. Kennan of Pine Bluff, Ark., and W. T.

Before the Democratic State Committee adjourns it should drop a gentle private hint to Judge Sherwood that he is not au- thorized to handicap the Missouri Demo- cratic ticketin this contest with any more railroad issues. His very marked leaning to the railroad misdirected. bl personal quarrels with other Supreme Judges who could not lean as he did—his very improper acceptance of railroad fa- vors as a provider for those of. his own thousehold—his utter disregard for the proprieties of his high judicial po- sition in borrowing money with the attor- neys of one railroad as his indorsers and letting the officials of another railroad pay the note in bank for him, are load enough for any party ticket to carry. ' The Democrats of Platte County thought 80 when they passed a resolution asking the party to retire him from the Supreme Bench, and there is no telling how many Democratic votes the ticket will lose on account of his being nominated again by the party. Thousands of Democrats resent that nomination asa party rebuke to the majority of the Supreme Court and as a partisan indorsement of his dissenting opinions and his stubborn fight for the railroads on the ‘‘fellow-servant’’ ques- tion. But now, asif his nomination were not enough for his party to carry, he and his organ at Springfield are advocating a con- stitutional amendment to enable railroad prosecutors todeprive disorderly strikers of the right to a trial before a jury of their own county. The people of Missouri will never con- sent that any man accused of murder or other felony inconnection with a riot or other sudden outbreak of violence, shall be dragged beyond the reachof friendly assistance, to be prosecutedin some dis- tant community of strangers where a pow- erful corporation can pack a jury to con- vict. Immunity from trial by any jury not of the county in which the alleged crime was committed, is a sacred right guaranteed by every State Constitution in this Union to every accused person. Itis a right as old as American freedom, and the judge who is hostile toit and would abrogate it, is too much besotted by his partiality for plutocracy and railroad attorneys to pass for a Democrat. le -_ — © _ ww —— BAD FOR THE MILITIA. Gov, Pattison as Commander-in-Chief of the Pennsylvania militia had to goto Homestead and admonish his generals and colonels that the wearing of shoulder- straps did not constitute them the auto- crats of that vicinity, with authority to set aside the civil powerand trample on the civil rights of citizens. But as soon as he returned to Harrisburg they found another vent for their tyran ni- cal impuises in the infliction ofa ‘ ‘cruel and unusual punishment’’ upon a private who openly applauded the at- tempted assassination of Frick. They commanded this private to retract and apologize, and upon his refusing hung him up by the thumbs to torture a re- traction and apology out of him. Taking him down insensible when the surgeons said more torture would kill him, they | shaved one side of his head and drummed himout of the service without any form of trial or hearing a word of self-defense from him. Not only this, but these officers publicly | admit that the private was not punished | for mutiny or mutinous language as a soldier, but for the utterance of ‘‘treason’’ or ‘*treasonable sentiments’’—or in other words, sentiments or opinions which, in + the opinion of his Colonel, should be re- canted under torture. And with the ap- proval of his subordinates and superi- ors this military despot announces that newspaper correspondents will be similarly deait with for similar treasonable utter- ances in his presence or in the district where the militia is on duty. The action of Gov. Pattison as Com- mander-in-Chief on this case is impatient- ly awaited by the country. He can act only on official reports of the affair show- ing occasion for acourtmartial to try of- ficers on charges preferred, and he may not express any Opinion, except in expressing approval or disapproval of the findings of the courtmartial. Butif these officers be not cashiered fortheir brutality and for their ‘‘treasonable sentiments’’ in re- gard to the rights of citizens in or out of the militia service, the failure will inflict a deadly stab upon the popularity of that service, and militia appropriations will be much harder to get from Legislatures in the future. Moreover, Pennsylvania must hence- forth pose before the country as a shock- ing example of plutocratic rule, if her criminal courts do not punish Col, Streator for brutal oppression. in office, and her civil courts do not award Iams a judgment for heavy damages against him. REPUBLICANS of the wiser sort are making strenuous efforts to lift the force bill issue out of the campaign. Some of the organs insist that the issue is dead and that Harrison’s letter of acceptance will give it burial. The attemptis vain. The issue is clearly made by the record and at- titude of the party and its principal leaders. The force bill has been indorsed by Mr. Harrison and the controliing element in the party organization. Its principle is embodied and : | ——, side of cases before the court—his violent | pledge has been given to the country that if intrusted with power the Republicans will carry force billism into effect. For the organs to assert that it is dead and for Mr. Harrison to repudiate the platform would be a cowardly and shifty campaign dodge. It would be a raw attempt to trick the people for election purposes. The Republican party cannot sneak out of the responsibility for a villainous “scheme, which it has attempted and continues to cherish. THE only place in this country where there is any indication of panic over the possibility of invasion by the Asiatic cholera is Chicago. There seems to be ground for it there because the work of maintaining sanitary conditions has been permitted to fall far behind the needs oc- casioned by rapid growth. The Chi- cago newspapers teem with scare articles about the filthy streets, foul alleys, dis- ease-breeding sewage and vile water. Nearly all of the other large cities are in better condition to withstand epidemic than ever before. S8t. Louis has well paved and clean streets, admirable sewer- age system, sanitary garbage reduction works and pure water and should with reasonable care be epidemic proof. There is no reason that fear should serve as the ally of disease among St. Louisans, but no precaution to prevent the introduction of cholera germs into the city should be neglected. _— , - THE PEOPLE’S FORUM —_— [No matter written on both sidesofthe sheet can appear under this head. —Ep.] An Infamous Militia Code. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: Apropos of the infamous treatment and drumming out of Private Iams and the gen- eral indignation in connection therewith, everybody seems to think that there is no warrant of law forthe action of Cols, Haw- kins, Streator’ and Gen. Snowden, but it is more than likely that upon investigation it will be found that there is plenty of Pennsyl- vania law by which these officers can defend their actions, In 1886 and 18871n the national convention of the National Guards, held forthe purpose of nationalizing the militia and enacting unl- form laws for their government and support, a bill was a rafted and sent out all over the country, and attempts made inall the Legislatures, with more or less success, to secure its adoption, in which one clause in particular plainly ana distinctly specified that any commissioned officer could,on his own motion,dishonorably discharge any private soldier or non-com missioned officer under him without trial or chance of defense or appeal in any court, either civil or military, on the part of the private. Think this bill was adopted by Penn- syivania without any changes. There wasa desperate attempt made to pass the same bill in the Missouri Legislature of 1887, in which a very active lobby, assisted by a fund of $5.00), donated by St. Louts cCap- italists, bought votes, prices running from $25 to $50 and upwards. The bill was voted for by both Democrats and Republicans and was defeated Dy a Very narrow margin through the untiring efforts of the three Union Labor members, assisted Dy a well- known labor agitator from S8t. Louis, who was there especially inthe interest of the convict labor and mechanics’ lien laws, The Chairman ofthe joint committee that made a favorable report on this infamous measure, althougha very estimable gentie- man in every other respect, was defeated for Congress the next year by the workingmen of st. Louts for his advocacy of the bill. This same bill contained two other infa- mous clauses, neither of which would have stood a test fora moment before the United States Supreme Court. In the same session James Moore from La- clede,a prominent Republican, introduced an anti-Pinkerton bill, which was killed in short order; but the same Dill was re-introduced in the session of i889 and pushed through by the efforts of the twelve Labor men of St. Louis. Itis owing to the untiring efforts of a small political iaction of **Laborites’’ In St. Louts for the past sixteen years that Missouri has more laws favorable to the producing classes and fewer to their detriment than most of the States. It has been generally understood that trea- son consisted in the levying of war against the State by one of its citizens or In. alding and abetting those who were, and no person could be convicted ofthe treason except on the testimony of tworeputable witnesses or on his own confession in open court, Butit has remained for the plutocr:tic-ridden state of Pennsylvania to produce a puppy in epautets and with alittle brief authority, who by his own mighty flat declaresit to be treason fora persontosay heis glad that asserted in the platform of the party. The another person was shotand he forthwith abolishes the right of trial and proceeds him- self to sentence a soldier in time of peace toacruel and inhuman punisiument andtocarry out the same, and he subse- quently declares the reporters who criticised him to be guilty of treasonand claimed if he could lay his bandsonthem he would treat themashehad the soldier ‘‘Iams.’’ Yet this fellow has not been suspended from duty by his superiors nor has he been Killed by those he outraged. All of which shows that Pennsylvanians are very much like asses and other beasts of burden to be kicked and cuffed With impunity by the soidiers and tate officers they tax themselves to support, and who make noattempt to protect them from bands of organized invading assassins sent into the State by a foreign proprietor. It must be a proud thing for ‘‘free’’ Amerti- cans to be Pennsylvania soldiers and to be used only by foreigners, non-citizens and corporations for the sole purpose of intim- idating their neighbors and fellow-citizens into a condition of peonage, while their own- ers bulid castles in Scotland, England and Germany.

Missouri Republicans Open the Campaign at Sedalia. @aueeees Warner’s Picture of the State Redeemed From Democratic Rule. A STRONG BID FOR THE LABOR VOTE A FEATURE OF HIS SPEECH. The Little City Bedecked With Flags in Honor of Its Guests— Streets Filled With Marching Clubs, Bands and Ban- ners—Shirk and Other Party Leaders Make Addresses—To-Night’s Proces- sion to Be a Grand Affair, SEDALIA, Mo., July 27.—The St. Louis con- tingent had an advance guard this morning inthe persons of City Ooliector Zlegenhein and Thos. Niedringhaus, the latter bring- ing the news that his father had been sud- denly summoned to New York and would not be able to speak as announced. These two urrived atlo’clock this morning and left their sleeper at 6, coming to the Hotel Kaiser for breakfast. **We got up early,’’ said Collector Zlegen- hein, ‘‘because that is the motto of the War- her campaign—‘Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’’’ Tom Niedringhaus announced that 1,000 S8t. Louisans would come up on the 11 o’ clock train, among whom would be the political club organized by Internal Revenue Collector Wennecker wearing white shirts, straw hats and carry- ing red, white and blue umbrellas. At W o’clock Secretary Hall received a telegram stating the St. Louis special was enroute, and shortly before 12 thetrain arrived and the St. Loulsans marched to the gathering | place of the clans. As Tom Niedringhaus said, ‘‘they had two bands, consisting of one brass band and Billy Hobbs.’’ The grand parade formed at 1:30 o’clock and the march over the reute as announced was a fine spectacle. St. Louis and Kansas City carried off the honors. The Association Park was reached shortly after 2 o’clock, and a gathering of fully 20,000 people were al- ready there. MAJ..WARNER’S SPEECH, About 38 o’clock the speakers’ stand was filled, and Maj. Wm. Warner, ' Re- publican candidate for Governor of Missouri, was introduced by ‘Chairman Bothwell amid great applause. Maj. Warner then delivered a strong speech, opening hiscampaign. He began by stating that the present campaign should be con- ducted for the best interests ofthe peopie of Missouri; the great mass of voters of$both parties were neither office -hold- ers nor office-seekers. The one great issue was the public interest. ‘ihe dominant party in Missour! by its Bourbon tactics of intolerance and persecution had repelled capital and retarded immigration. Missouri possesses more natural advantages than any other State in the Union anda change of party government is necessary for the State’s good, Capital could not be ex- pected to come from lowa, Kansas or the South, but must come if at all from the East- ern and Middle States. Some inducement must be offered for it. Missouri is not a hopelessly Democratic State, the speaker said, and it should not be so classed; especially is this true of State issues. Thisis demonstrated by the steady falling off of the Democratic majority in the last twelve years, until now the Democrats of Missouri! havea minority candidate. There are thousands of voters who act with the Democratic party in Missourl on national issues but who, believing a Change beneficial, have in years past refused to vote for a Dem- ocratic Governor. The speaker then gave statistics of the wealth of Missouri from 1865 to 1870, Value of farm lands, manufacturing industries, etc., and contrasted its present showing with that of other States. Maj. Warner then touched upon the labor question and the Homestead troubies. He said that he was and always had been the friend of organized labor. He belleved or- ganized labor to be the school in which the wage-workers were educated to protect their own rights without doing violence to the rights of others. He thought in regard to the employment of armed men to suppress | labor troubies, thatit was the duty of the State alone to protect the liberty, lives and property of citizens, thatto this protection the high and the low, the rich and the poor were equally en- titled. No man has the right to usurp the powers of the State by importing into It or organizing therein armed bodies of men. Under the laws of Missouri! no man nota bona-fide resident of the State can be sworn in as a peace Officer. It being the duty of the State to protect its citizens, when that pro- tection is necessary it should be extended promptly. The speaker then indulged ina eulogy of the new Missouri, what he called the ‘‘wide open Missourl,’’ where a welcome would be extended all—even Yankees—with the as- surance that they would not be regarded as intruders, nor branded as carpetbaggérs. It was this state of things which the Republican party hoped to bring about in Missouri, »de- ginning this fall, OTHER ADDRESSES. Maj. Warners’ speech was received with tremendous applause. He was followed by Ex-Congressman Hoar of Michigan now con- nected with the New York Tribune, Con- gressional Candidate Hastain, Judge Shirk and others. The rally at the park will be followed to-night by speaking In front of the Court-house. Judge Shirk’s speech was a deprecation of the practice of political can- didates taking part in active politics and in that connection he spoke of the ‘‘amazing spectacle’’ presented by the recent political convention of the Democrats in St. Louis where every candidate had his headquarters and was surrounded by the party leaders and bosses. Then the speaker turnedin and de- fended himself from the charge Of being a railroad lawyer, after which he made a mild campaign speech. AN IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT. It is estimated that fully twenty thou- sand strangers are now here, principally from St. Louis, Kansas City and near-by towns, and the Republican rally and first day’s ight of the Warner forces makes a de- cidedly formidable beginning. It is stated that twenty-seven coaches were required to bring the St, Louls contingent to the feld, while the Kansas City Warner Club, arriving this morning, filled twelve coaches. En- thustasm is running high, and the campaign cries of ‘‘Stana up for Missourl, and ‘‘War- ner is the man,’’ seem to have the right of way. THE STATE COMMITTEE. Owing to Warner’s change Of plan yester- day, the meeting of the Executive Committee. ofthe Republican State Ue ntral Committee yest rday afternoon was very brief, and only routine business was transacted. The mem- bers present were Bothwell, Blake, Bittinger and Tuttle, Burton and Ziegenheib being prevented from attending. The committee will, however, probably hold an informai conference with Maj.

The opening session of the convention was a very svort one, and an adjournment was then taken until last night, the convention hoping to have Maj.

McKinley, Jr., the whole ly decor- ated, and making a sort of ‘‘spike team with McKinley as the ‘‘lead horse.’’ Kerens took one look at this arrangement, muttered hastily, ‘*fhat’lh have to be changed!’’ and started off to interview the clerk atonce. And justas he left a strong Democrat saw the picture, mixed McKinley up with ‘*Dick’’ Dalton and wondered audi- bly *‘what in blazes they had Dalton’s pict- ure over Harrison and Reid for?’’ The grand parade of clubs, delegations and visitors took place to-day at 10 o’clock sharp. The line moved from the corner of Main and Ohio streets over the following line of march: South to Broaagway on Ohio street, east on Broadway to Washington avenue, north on Washington avenue to Second street, west on Second street to Prospect avenue, south on Prospect ayenue to Third street, and west on Third street to Association Park. The parade of Warner clubs was under management of the following: Grand Mar- shal James O’Brien; Aids, A. W. Winzen- berg and A. W. McKenzie; Marshals of Divi- sions, Judge Z. F.

The parade was witmessed by thousands of people along the entire route to Association Park. There the decorations and arrange- ments of the speakers’ stand, amphitheater, etc,, gave the park a gala aspect. ASSIGNED TO CAMPAIGN DUTY. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Republican State Central Committee was had to-day before the grand arade, at which the three candidates for the supreme bench on the Republican ticket were assigned to their respective dis- tricts, Judge Edwards being assigned to the First, and Judge Shirk and Nagel to the Sec- ond district. Some other business of a routine nature was transacted. Maj. Warner and R. C. Kerens were present. WARNER ON PROFIT-SHARING, During the session of the Executive Com- mittee of the Republican State Central Com- mittee this afternoon, Maj. Warner submit ted to the members the following expres- sions, which he wished to incorporate into his speech in that portion where he touches upon the labor problem. ‘‘May we not see the day when with the mellowing influence of years of tribulation there will come a system of equitable profit- sharing between the employer and the em- ploye, making them the joint sharers in the earnings of capitaland labor? This day will / come; the sooner it comes the better forthe capitallst and wagé-earner. This F favor.’’ There was considerable discussion, pro and con, over these sentiments, but at last Maj. Warner’s views prevalied and the committee consented to the use of the words which ac- cordingly appeared in Maj. Warner’s speech as delivered atthe Association Park, incor- orated in his expressions on the labor prob- em, WASHINGTON NATHAN DEAD. The Terrible Tragedy of Twenty Yoars Ago Recalled. LONDON, July 27.—Washington Nathan, the most central figure in the famous Nathan murder case, died at Boulogne. To his dying moment the murder of his father preyed on his mind. During the last week of his life he told over and over again his own story of the death of his father. In his rational as well as his irrational moments, he kept continually repeating, ‘‘My poor father, my poor father.’’ The events of that awful night seemed to have never left his mind, He was a gay young blood at the time of the murder, but changed very much afterthat. He lived almost constantly outside of America. He had plenty of money at firstand drank freely. He was 44 years old at the time of his death. He married aé_e relative of Mapleson, the impressario. Here is what he said of the murder in his iast moments: ‘*It had been a terribly stormy night; mem- orably so, even had it not been forthe crime which stamped it uponthe public mine. On returning nome after seeing that the house was closed I went straight to my room and to bed. The house bad been undergoing repairs. It is my theory that the murderer entered the house during the day while workmen were there, Aceremony wastotake place early next morning in the synagogue. Ihad been instructed to wake my father, sothat the old man, who was regular in his attendance and devout, might be present. It was 6 o’clock when I entere my father’s room, I fonnd him on the floor murdered, and it was I who gave the alarm by going to a window and calling. I afterwards summoned my brother, who lifted the body and placed it onthe bed, thereby covering himself with blood. No blood could ever be found on any of my clothes,’’ said the dying man, ‘‘yet people say I killed him. My poor father, my poor father. Nothing was miss- ing except a few small diamonds and several unimportant articles of Jewelry, worth in all about £100,’’ Nathan leaves two brothers olderthan him- self and one yonnger. It was his dying wish to see New York again and his body will be placed in a receiving vault and finally taken to New York for burial. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. G.

FOOLHARDY TEST OF PLUCK THAT ENDED IN DEATH, ‘ To Decide the Superiority Of Courage They Struggled to Be First in Planting Their Country’s Flag in an Active Crater at Colima—The Casualty: Record. CITY OF MEXICO, July 27.—Henry Adams of New Hampshire and James Deeresny Walton, an Englishman, were scorched to death in an attempt to reach the crater of a voleano near Colima, They had a dispute as to the pluck of Englishmen and Americans, each claiming superiority for his countrymen, and it was agreed that he who should succeed in first planting the flag of his country at the edge of the crater should be held to have made good his claims. The next day they started with guides forthe foot of the vol- cano over the lava-seamed country. The guides were frequently alarmed by subter- ranean rumblings, and as they neared thé mountain its summit was observed to be shrouded witha hood of grayish smoke. When they arrived atthe point whence the cone proper rises the two adventurers left the guides and proceeded to search fora practi- cable route of ascent. They were visible for more thanan hour to the guides. At last they reached a ledgeof rock where ap- parently an insurmountable barrier offered itself, as they were seen to halt and consult together. Clouds ofcinders shot up from the craterand when last seen thead- venturers were grasping each other by the hands. Following close on the cloud of cinders occurred a terriffic explosion anda huge volume of molten lava rose fountain- like in the sky, in which as it descended in streams down the sides of the cone the fool- hardy couple were engulfed, r CASUALTIES.

SPRINGFIELD, lll., July 27.—Farmers and grain dealers generally regard the weather of the last few days as perfect forcorn. Cornis growing rapidly under the hot sun, and there is a sufficient understratum of dampness to prevent it from suffering. It will take two weeks ofsuch weather to ripen, they say, without rain. It is all tasseling out while yet below the normal height for that process, but with favorable conditions in the future no danger is feared from this fact. Under the most favorable circumstances the crop cannot equal that of last year. Conservative estimates place the figures at 25 per cent De- low last year’s crop.

Until the toll has been actually announced and the regulations bave been in operation it will be impossible to say definitely what the effect will be, but there is no doubt that in these days of close competition even a slight additional burden will handicap the Canadian vessel owner, and that anything like the full toll charged by the Sault Ste, Marie would simply drive him out of the trade. The steamer Rosedale, owned by Hagarty &Co,, and costing in the neighborhood of $100,000, is too long to be brought down through the 8st, Law- rence canals and would have to tie up. The Algonquin, owned by Thomas Marks of Port Arthur and costing about the same, would be in a similar pre. dicament. The imposition of the toll would also probably lead to litigation, because most of the charters have already been mad under the impressioh that th’ tolls would re- main the same as before. These are only a few of the valuable vessels which would practically be compelled to tleup. The ag- gregate loss to Canadian vessel owners, if the full toll be imposed, would undoubtedly be up in the millions. It is understood that the contractors of the Canadian Soo Canal have proposed to complete it for traffic within a year on the payment of $250,000 extra. If this could be accomplished, Canadian vessel owners would not suf- fer more than a year of en- forced idleness, but even at its best the retaliatory bill isa very serious mat- ter forthem. W. W. Ogilvy, the big miller, being spoken to, said that the operation of the bill would not seriously affect the trade of Montreal or indeed that of the Dominion. and discharge at Kingstonand get their re- bate the same as Canadian vessels, but if we are to allow them to go and discharge in Ogdensburg it would virtually hand over the St. Lawrence River carrying trade to the Americans, thus throwing out of employment the large number of Canadians who are 6n- gaged in this trade and who liveon the banks ofthe St. Lawrence between Montreal and Kingston. The same people could not work on American barges without living in the United States and becoming American citizens, so rigidly does the United States differentiate against Canadian labor. Al- though all our canals and rivers are open to Americans, they still keep the Whitehall and Erie Canals and the Hudson River closed against us. Our barges have to tranship at Whitehall, while theirs load anywhere in Canada and go through to New York. Still ‘they say that they do not discrim- inate against us. Taken altogether, if the Candaians are wisethey will pay no atten- tion to the Americans, The trade of Montre- alis steadily increasingand if we will only use the natural energy of the Canadians it will continue to inerease. ’’ John Torrance of the Dominion Steamship Line said that ocean and inland carriers would have to bear the burden. Till the Sault Canal was finished the weight, he said, would fall seriously on those named, and thence, of course, on Montreal and her for- warding interests. Still he was not for abat- ing one jot of Canada’s title in question. The conduct of the Americans tn shutting us out of the Whitehall and Erte Canals was of it- self enough to point to without anything for the justification of what the Americans had termed discrimination against them. Hugh McLennan referred to the coastings laws which would not permit British vessels to tranship freight at Ogdensbarg, and also to the dental of our barges of the Erie and Whitehall Canal routes, tn themselves a grievance to Canadians. PRESERVING ORDER. HALIFAX, N. 8., July 27.—Latest informa.- tion from St. Johns, N. F., states that the militia and sailors still parade the streets to maintain order and prevent incendiarism, which has been attempted and for which several persons are now imprisoned, The condition of the inhabitants of the western— that is the preserved—section of the city is by them considered more deplorabie than the ma- jority of those who suffered. In consequence of this mistaken impression some of the most indigent in the western part are actually trying to burn their few belongings that they may participate in the relief contributions, Fully 7,000 people are encamped in indescrib- able confusion on a large field, their housing being toa greater number the worst feature there is at present. There is no want of clothing or food, The coming fall and win- ter, however, will, it ig feared, realizea fam- ine that succeeds the feast. RELIGIOCS PILGRIMS.

CHIcaGo, 1l., July 2%6.—The Marguis de Mores wants to fight Joseph Medill, the edl- tor ofthe Chicago Tribune. The following letter was received at the Tribune office to- day: " No. 38 RUE DE MONTE TABOR, Paris, July 12, 1892. To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune: = g wh per notice the mention of my name in your issue of Juce 29, lam happy to say that as far as public sentimentis concerned in this country your kind appreciation of myself is not shared. i ft peated ibility of th rt eiole, ba | "eruly, e . @ ar . . mn 7 MARQUIS DE MORES. The matter to which the Marquis took ex- ception was an editorial relatifig to the Mayer duel, in which the nobleman was denounced @sa@ worthless adventurer, Joseph Medill, editor of the Tribune, who looks upon the letter as a challenge, is 6 yearsold. He said last evening that he was willingto meet the Marquis ina 24-foot ring at Jackson Park with. boxing gloves or muskets, or anything suitable to the occasion orthe weather, The Tribune willtreat the matter in a humorous in the morning, and has wired John L. Sullivan, ‘*Bat’’ Masterson, ‘‘Bud’’ Renaud of New Orleans, James J. Corbett and others throughout the country asking if they would be willing to act as bottle-hoiders in case the editor of the Tribune should weet the Marquis in a 24-foot ring. The Tribune’s serio-comic answer to De Mores is as follows: = The This letter admits of only one interpretation. Marguis De Mores wants satisfaction. Heshall have it. As the challenged party the Chicago Tribune has the right to name the time and place of meeting and to chuose the weapons. The fighting editor o the Tribune will meet the Marquis De Mores at Jackson Park on some date to be hereafter agreed upon between the first of Mayand last of Uetober, 1893. The fight shall take place in a twenty-four foot ring, and shall be conducted in strict accord- ance withthe Marquis of Queensberry rules. The shall be gloves weighing eight ounces—this eing the pe permitted under the rules— and the fight shall be toaifinish. The combat shall take place under the auspices of the World's Columbian Exposition, without additional charge foradmission to the grounds. It is well known to the Marguis, doubtless, that every first-class news- aper is*provided with afighting editor who holds unself personally responsible for anything that may be said in the paper and is always wea? to back itup. The fighting editor of the Tribune is always in training and is a man who habitually thirsts for ore. He wili hold himself in readiness to meet the arquis de Mores at any time to settle upon all pre- limtinaries not here stipulated. The Tribune is ready. Letthe Marquis De Mores come or. The editorial in the Tribune to which the Marquis takes exception was published on June 29, shortly after the fatal due! between the Marquis and Capt. Mayer. It refers to the Marquis as an Anarchist, an adventurer anda man of spotted reputation and con- cludes as follows: It is cheering to observe that public sentiment In France severely condemns this due! and that De Mores has been arrested. It is to be hoped that he will be awarded the severest punishment the law allows and that this worthless, disreputable Marquis may soon find himself at hard labor behind the stone walls of some French penitentiary. wea size " St. Louis Grocers Organized. -& meeting of the leading grocers of St. Louis was held in parlor A at the Southern Hotel last evening. The Chairman, after calling the meeting to order said: ‘*Some action must be taken to supply, at a popular price, a refreshing summer drink to our cus- tomers.

O., July 27.—In the House to-day Mr. Watson (F. A.) of Georgia rose to a question of personal privilege in regard to remarks made by Mr. Wheeler of Ala- bama yesterday in regard to . his action on the printing of the election bill. The Speaker decided that no question of privilege was involved and the matter was dropped. On motion of Mr. McKillen (Dem.) of Tennessee, the House by a _ vote of Mil to 58 %Ilaid. on the table the resolution offered yesterday by Mr. Dal- gell of Pennsylvania calling for information inregard totaxes and the losses of State banks and national banks. The World’s Fair discussion was then con- tinued by Mr. Caruth (Dem.) of Kentucky, who said he would vote for the appropriation now, although he i had opposed ‘tt heretofore, principally for the reason that the differences between the World’s Fair manaxers and the Knights of Labor had been settled. The Fair was not a Chicago enterprise, but a national one. ‘‘No pent-up Utica’’ contracted its powers. His speech was characteristically laconic, and he closed with the couplet: Little drops of wisdom, Great big chunks of gall, Make the mighty statesman In the Congress hall, [Loud laughter]. Mr. Bowers (Rep.) of California, in a three- minute speech, appealed to the House to make the appropriation for this ‘‘grand car- nival of industry.’’ Mr. Houck (Dem.) of Ohio opposed the ap- propriation, and was followed by Mr. Hop- kins (Rep.) of Illinols, who said there was an attempt in the House to assas- ‘ginate the national character of this enterprise, and characterize it as a local concern. Congress wanted to Shutup the Fair on Sunday and curtail the receipts at least one-third, and yet they re- fused to appropriate any money. The money asked for by the commission was necessary and noman who loved his country could af- ford to vote against the appro- priation. It was necessary that the appropriation should be made before the Ex- position opened asa large rtion of it was needed tn the construction of the buildings. Mr. McMillin opposed the appropriation and said the Treasury wasin a depleted con. gdition and yet Congress was asked to vote $5,000,000 to Chicago in face ofthe factthata solemn pledge was given when the proposition ofa site was before the House that no money would be asked for. This.closed the debate and the House pro- ceeded to vote on the amend- ments. The House insisted on its disagreement to the. Senate amendments increasing the appropriation for the Government exhibit from $316, 500.to $500, - 000; that increasing the appropriation for the ‘World’s Columbian Commis- sion from $95, 500 to $320,000, creasing the item “for the of lady manngers from $36,000 to $138,000. Senate amendinent rejecting the proposition of the House that no Pinkerton detectives should be employed at the G@A, R. encamp- ment, was also disagreed to. ‘Lhe $5,000,000 item being reached, the par- liamentary discussion ensued as tothe right tosubmit amendments and Mr. Cheatham (Rep.) of North Carolina was una'le to offer his amendment to devote $50,000 for collecting statistics of the coiored race. Mr. Bankhead’s amendment, offered and admitted yesterday, to appropriate $5 in Ueu of $5,000,000, was then submitted, and the yeas and nays were called forand resulted: Yeas, 77; nays, 141. Sothe motion to substi- tute was lost. The vote on Mr. Baliley’s motion to adjourn until Saturday resulted: Yeas, 2; nays, 143. No quorum. Mr. Bingham demanded a cali of the House. In the Senate to-daya resolution permit- ting foreign exhibitors to bring into the United states skilled laborers trom a abroad inconnection with the World’s Fair, who otherwise would be prohibited from enter- ing the United States under the contract labor law and the Chinese exclusion act, was passed. The filibustering then began. (Dem. of Indiana), who changed his vote, moved to reconsider. Mr. Bingham (Rep. of Pennsylvania) moved to lay thison the table. Mr. Outhwaite (Dem.) of Ohio moved to ad- journ, and pending that moved to meet on Friday next. Mir. Balley (Dem.) of Texas moved toamend the latter by an adjourninent until Saturday. The yeas and nays are now being called on the latter motion. AS a precautionary measure against the introduction of cholera the Secretary of the Treasury has directed Collectors of Customs aionz the Atlantic seaboard to prohibit the landing of emigrants from France. The Presideut sent to the Senate to-day the nomination of Watson B. sSpeery of Deia- ware, to be Minister Resident and Consul- Generali of the United States to Persia. MAFFIT1’S RE-ELECTION. Mr. Holman Gov. Francis Denies That He Worked to Bring It About, One of the most intimate friends of Senator Cockrell in St. Louis to-day sent him a long telegram about the election of C. C. Mafiitt to the Chairmanship ofthe State Central Committee. ‘*Cockrell will be in Missouri early in August,’’ said he, ‘‘It is evident to all of us that Gov. Francis had Mr. Mafiitt kept at the head of the State Central Commit- tee for the purpose of making a fight for Cockrell’s seat inthe Legislature this winter. Cockrell has anticipated this and is prepared for it.’’ About the Laclede Hotel to-day, where many of the politiclans drawn here by the meeting of the State Committee still re- mained, it was the zeneral opinion that the Governor was arranging for an active cam. paign inthe State, with the assistance of at least elght friends on the Central Committee. It was said up to the time of the Chicago Con- 'yention the Governor had not made up his mind whether he would make the campaign or not, Dut the re-election of Col. Grif Prather, afterthe issue between the Gor- ‘ernor and Senator Cockrell had been | made by the canvass of Eph Ewing, showed (him he had such strength as to decide him to push the contest further. When the Central Committee met the Governor came down to St. Louis and announced that he | wanted Maffitt. Mr. Stone and his. friends had an idea what this meant, and they did not want bis campaign complicated with a . Cockrell-Francis issue; so they insisted on Mr. Salmon becoming a candidate, even afterhe had bexged to be let off on account ofhis health. The election of Mr. Mafiitt in ithe face of Mr. Stone’s desire to have Mr, ' Salmon has given the Governor greater pres- ‘lige than ever, and Senator Cockrell’s friends are alarmed, | Gov. Francis ts stfllin thecity on private business, but will réturnto Jefferson City in the morning. When askedif he used his in- fluence and lobbied among the members of the State Control Committee in order to elect Mr. Chas. Maffitt chairman of the com- mittee he replied: ‘‘l am aware thatI have been aceused of that and even more, but I wish to most emphatically deny that such wasa fact. I took no interest in the committee meeting and talked to no del- egate im regardtothe election of a Chair- man. I wish, by the way, to correct another rumor that has been In.circulation for some months past to the effect that I will be a can- didate to succeed Senator Cockrell in the United States Senate. ‘The senator and myself are on friendiy terms and I have no idea of contesting for his seat in the Senate. Myterm as Governor of Missouri has not expired as yet, and not until that time will I consider my future movements. I can say, however, that it is not my intention to contest for Senator Vockrell’s seat in the Senate.’’ SS WOODBURY’ The Universal Report from Every Section. A letter just received from a St.Paul merchant says: “The sales of Dr. Price's Delicious Flavoring Ex- tracts have doubled within the past three. months, and the demand is constantly in- creasing.” This is account- ed for by the fact that Dr. Price's flavors are just as represented—free from poi- sonous oils and ethers, are true to nature, made from the finest fruits, of delicate taste, and of the greatest strength attainable.

ELRENO,O.T.,July 27.—El Reno was thrown intoa fever of excitement at 10:30 o’clock this morning by screams for help emanat- ing from the Bank of El Reno. The screams were from Mrs. 8s W. Sawyer, wife ofthe President of the bank, who had just been held up by two robbers, who had also robbed the bank of $10,- 500. At 10:30 o’clock a stranger entered the bank, Stepped up to the cashier’s window and made an inguiry about some town lots and then stepped toa desk and commenced writing. In a moment another stranger stepped up to the cashier’s desk and presenting a gun at Mrs. Sawyer’s head, de- manded that she hand outall the money in the bank. The lady was so frightened that she could not move, but the robber threatened to shoot if.she did not accede quickly,andin a dazed way she stepped tothe vault and handed to him all the bilisin the vault safe and what was in the daily change drawer, agregating about $10,500, and less than $100 of it was in silver. The man who was writing at the desk turned quickly and grabbed the money as Mrs. Sawyer handed it through the wicket and disappeared out of the door. The one holding the gun following quickly, Mrs. Sawyer screamed several times and fell in a swoon, The robbers mounted horses that were standing at the edge of the pavement, un- hitched and rode out of town as fast as their horses would go. Mrs. Sawyer was the only person in the bank, the President, her husband, being ab- sent in Oklahoma City. He arrived at home about thirty minutes after the robbery. The robbery is believed to be work of the Daltons, on account of the manner of its execution. It was at an early hour in the morning when the banking busi- ness was quiet. The robbers were of medium height, wore short beards, siouch hats, but no masks. Both were inte lligent-looking men and their conduct in the bank was attended with the coolest nerve.

They carried saddle bags behind their saddles and were evidently the Daltons or members of that daring band. Hundreds ofcitizens on horseback and in buggies, fully armed and with ropes, are in pursult, and capture is only a ques- tion of a very short time, as the robbers bad only about fifteen minutes start.

Price BASE BALL STARS. | Many Old Time Famous Players Becom- ing Back Numbers. * SOME GREAT BALL TOSSERS WHO WILL SOON SINK INTO OBSCURITY. The Passing of Buck Ewing, George Gore, Harry Stovey, Tip O’Neil] and Other Bright Lights Who Were Once Great Diamond Favorites—The Browns Lose Again—Resultse of Yesterday’s Races. The announcement of Manager Pat Powers of the New York club recently, that unless Buck Ewing resumed his regular position be- hind the bat when he recovered from the **charleyhorse,’’ which has prevented him from playing with the Giants the last two weeks, he would be released outright, has served to attract the attention of the cranks to the fact that the days of the once incom. parable Buck Ewing and other noted manip- ulators of the sphere as stars are past. They have become, to put it plainly, back num- bers, and their places have been taken by the rising youngsters, such as Morgan Murphy, Charley Farrell, Hugh Duffy, Billy Dahlen and others. New stars have been crowding into the exclusive ranks of the high salaried players of from eight to twelve years’ stand- ing in the most alarming manner during the last two seasons and in consequence the old- timers have been getting the worst of it right along. The new-comers, besides holding their own with the veterans as players, take more interest in the game and arouse more enthusiasm among the other players than theold-timersdo. Then again most of the latter are inveterate record players, and itis nosecret that nothingis somuchof a drawback to aclub’s success as to have one ortworecord players within its ranks, ex- cepting of course, chronic kickers and de- moralizers. Of course not all the veterans are record players, but nevertheless the ma- jority are, asoneof them aptly putit re- cently, ‘‘out for themselves exclusively.’’ Buck Ewing was, in his prime, the best catcher that ever wore a mask. In those days he used tocatch for the Troy (N. Y.) club. When the majority of the stars on that team were transferred to Gotham Buck, of course, was included. While with the Giants he caught for ‘‘Smiling Mickey’’ Welch, Tim Keefe, Ed Crane, Hank O’Day, Long John Ewing and other noted twirlers. Two years ago he developed an attack of ‘‘charleyhorse” in his throwing arm and ever since has been unable to resume his position behind the bat, confining himself exclusively to playing first base and captaining the club. George Gore, the ex-New York outfielder who was signed by President Von der Ahe Monday, isanother player who a few years ago stood up in the top rank among his Class but is now on the decline. That was when he covered center for Anson’s champion Chicago Club. Then Gore had no superior .| since. | 8 an outfelder, run-getter and base-runner. | After he commenced to let upin his work, until New | York let him go. was transferred to New York he It is claimed that his re- lease Was due to poor playing, but it is hardly probable that he would have been let go had he putupthe game he did a few years ago. Hardie Richardson,the once noted all-around player who is at present carried on the New York Club’s pay-roll as utility man, ts another playerthat haslet upin his work the past two summers. In the early part of last season Hardie brokehis leg and he has never been the same since. In fact it seems to be the prevailing opinion that the days of the greatest all-around player the diamond has ever beheld are numbered. Pitcher John Clarkson, who was released by Boston re- centiy, and whotlsat present with Pat Te- beau’s Cleveland spiders, also seems to be on his last legs. Clarkson is considered by many to have been the finest pitcher that has ever twirled a sphere, and while, of course, thatis sayinga great deal, it must be aa- mitted Clirrkson has, at times, done work that woulc have been hard toexcel. Harry Stovey, the famous Athietic outfielder, who was alsoturned looseatthe same time with Clarkson Dy Boston, is another veteran that seems to be dropping out of = sight gradually. His work with Boston the past two seasons far from real- ized expectations, and the result was when the rule permitting each club to retain but thirteen men went into effect, the Boston management turned Stovey loose and re- placed him witha youngster named Lowe. Since joining Baltimore Stovey has been bat- ting like a fiend, but the universal opinion among the Knowing ones isthat his spurt will not last and that he will continue to lose prestige. James ©’Rourke, the once crack outfielder of the New York Giants, was re- placed recently by Harry Lyons, a Minor League player. O’ Rourke was at one time considered one of the most reliable outfielders and safest batters in the League, but his work of recent years has far from realized expectations. George Pinkney, the old Brooklyn third baseman, who has been playing withthe Browns this season can hardly be said to havedone the work expected of him. It was claimed that his release by Brookiyn was not the result of unsatisfactory playing, but merely because John Ward did not like him. W hile admitting there may be some truth in this story,it |ooks asif Ward did not make imuch of a mistake in letting him go. Pitcher Verry, who was also released by Ward recently, was a few years ago regarded as one of the best pitchers in the professicn. His work last season and during the present one with Pittsburg has been miserable. Joe Mulvey, who at one time was regarded as almost the equal of Jerry Denny as a guardian of third base, made a very poorshowing with Philadelphia this season. He was taken sick about a month ago and has not Played Cross, his successor at third base, made a much better showing than Mulvey and the result was the latter has been re- leased to Washington where as yet he has not been given an opportunity to play. Tip O’Nell, the famous old Association siugger, has mace a sorrow showing with Comiskey’s Cincinnati Keds this season. Comiskey is Saki to be disgusted with the poor work of his big outfielder, and his release would not cause much of a surprise among those who know anything about the Cincinnati club affairs. Pete Browning, who was at one time one of the yzreatest batsmen that has ever played ina game, is another veteran whose daysasa member of one of the big League clubs are in ail probability past. Comiskey péleased Pete recently and it is thou will drift out into the California State League. YESTERDAY’S GAMES. Ittook Washingtonten innings to defeat the Browns yesterday, Breitenstein was in the box for Von der Ahe’s pets, and was accorded magnificent support, but his wildness and inability to control the sphere at critical pe- riods resulted in Washington's victory.

THE TURF. So long as the great race tracks of the East are goverened by the body of incapables who at present control them, just so long will there be scandals of various kinds todexzrade the sport, says a Gotham turf authority. Of late these scandals have been cropping up with painful frequency, until at present it seems as if fraud was becoming epidemic. Day after day on our big tracks there are cases of dishonest riding andthe starting of horses in races not to win, but for the good the race will do them, ‘Ihe patrons of the sportcry out against such treatment, but their prayers aud warnings are alike of no avail. The great trouble Ils that the men at present at the helm are wholly incompetent. They do not realize the vast responsibility with which their position is freighted, arid if they did realize it they have not the ability to perform the duties which a knowledge of such responsibility would impose on them, VAN BUREN AND JOE BLACKBURN SIZED UP. Last fall Van Buren and Joe Biackburn were called selling-platers; now they are race horses. Van Buren’s one and a quarter miles !n 2:06 is very fast—better than Kingston ever made. The truth is, the time at Washington Park has been too fast to pass judgment upon. some other standard will be necessary to determine how good Van Burenis. The horse is in fine condition and is very fast, that is certain, but can he goa mile and a quarter with race horses? As Father William Daly said, ‘‘Classis class, and youcan’t beat Raceland with a selling- plater.’’ But Van Buren will make better races than manyexpect. He can go distance, but whether he Is game remains to be seen. RALPH KEVILLE SUCCESSFUL. Lonpon, July 27.—The Goodwood Handi- cap, which wasrun to-day, was won by Mr. ©. J.

The Bridge Handicap, for 3-year-olds, to be decided at the autumn meeting at Sheeps- head, will be worth $20,000. Marion C. was braught back to Loulsville last Thursday. She Is one of the gamest fin- ishers that were ever on the turf, and her partial break down was a severe blow to her owner. She has been bred to Hanover. Itis very probable that the mare will be put in training again. In the light of subsequent events neither Leigh nor Martin can be condemned because of the Brighton judgment against them, says a Gotham turf authority. Compared with other owners and jockeys now racing at the track by the sea they are shining ex- amples of honesty. At Loulsville Monday Vidette,ab. c., by Vengeance—Grace Tower was sold for a good odin. py J. J. Sellers to Sol Stone, the well- snown colored trainer and owner. Lastyear Vidette started thirty-six times, winning thirteen brackets. He wonthe last five races of the year. The old horse will be trained especially for the Latonta fall meeting. Speaking of Isaac Murphy's poor success with the Ebret stable this season an Eastern turf authority says: ‘‘The colored Archer’s greatest misfortune was signing with Mc- Lewee. Until then he had a grand reputation as a jockey and a legion of pagent ty he is criticised on all sides. The oper | aim. culty is that he is put up on horses who are wholly unfit to race.’’ 2 OE ES. THE RING. CHIcaGo, lll., July 97.—‘*Parson’’ Davies writes from Berlin under date of July 11 that Jackson is slowly improving but will not be fit to fight agaim for some time, He says that Hall and Pritchard are both getting ready for their match. It will take a — rse, DU club as yet has offered af Pritchard will y ate, er teodte tn tae ting at10to7. Itis said that Davies and Jackson Will be at the ring side at New Orleans and challenge the winner of the Sullivan-Corbett mill. THE OLYMPIC CLUB GETIING READY. New ORLEANS, July 27.—The Olympic Club management have commenced to enlarge and refitjtheir mammoth arena for the coming championship fights. TW° championship battles will be fought in the club on two suc- cessive nights. The grounds will be beautl d lanterns of all fully decorated with flags 0 ie gong will be nations. A handsome © ves will be added pacity of the amphitheater has engaged for the Suilivan-corbett Paddy Slavin is now book at the races in Merry England, and at last advices he nad done fairly well, In eae | ' in making a recognition of the courage ana determination displayed by Paday in the mill with Jackson a number of gentlemen have decided to pre- sent him witha substantial testimonial of the regard of the sporting public and admirefs of boxing generally. The probabilities are that a considerable sum of money will be realized, and itisthe intention to make the presenta- tion in some of the large music hallsin the English metropolis. _ HALL AND PRITCHARD IN DEMAND. NEw YORK, July 27.—The Coney Island Ath- letic Club received word from its agent in London to-night that the Olympic Ciub of New Orleans had made an offer of $12,000 for the Hall-Pritchard fight. The Coney Island Clubat once cabled back saying they wouid offer $15.000 to have the battle take place in its arena at Coney Island. PUGILISTIC POINTERS. Much interest is being manifested in West- ern puellistic circles over the outcome of the contest between Jack Wilks of this city and Tommy Ryan, the welter-weight champion of America, which will take place at Omaha, Neb., Saturday night for a $3,500 purse. George Dawson, the Australian light- weight,knocked Dannie Needham, the Amer- ican welter-weight, out in twenty-nine rounds for a $2,000 purse in the wigwam of the California Athletic Club at San Francisco last night In the presence of 17,000 persons. Inreply to an announcement of Charley Mitchell, Jim Hall’s manager, which was to the effect that Hall stood willing to meet Ted Pritchard for a $10,000 purse at either the Olympic Athletic Club or the Coney Island Athletic Club, Capt. Williams, on behalf of the former organization, has wired Hall an offer to hang up a purse of $12,000 for an en- counter between him and Pritchard at New Orleans Sept. 6. The Coney Island Club have determined to havea flooring within the arena which will prevent injury to a boxer, even should he re- ceive the most violent fall. First there will be a layer of soft, downy felt; supplemented by another of canvas. This will be thor- oughly stretched and held taut by powerful cleats. ‘lhe resuit will be that the floor will be soft and springy and contesting gladiators assured safety from all harm. THE WHEEL. ‘ Zimmerman ended up his stay abroad by making two new records for the Englishmen. He shared his glory in this instance with Bradbury, who is an excellent rider and who. rode the tandem with him for the mile and five-mile records, The mile in 2m. 1%s is not so wonderful, yet it is a record. But with our men here riding the mile alone on the safety in 2m. 15s. and 2m. Ié6s. it would seem as though with two such men as Zimmerman and Bradbury on one machine, 2m. 12s. would be nearer the mark than the time made. The five-mile time is also slow for such riders, 12m. 561-5s. On the Springfield track it ought to be beaten and will probably be made the object of some of the racing men in the near fnture, WHEEL NOTES. Cyclists are beginning to take v part in politics.

Policy Holders in the St. Louis Co-opera- tive Tailoring Co. After John J. Lahio. John J. Lahio the tailor at 523 Market street, against whom Leon J, Papin swore outa warrant ona charge of assault and battery on Monday, will have his: hands full accord- ing to present indications, before the affairs ofthe St. Louis Co-operative Tailoring Co. at Sixth and Market streets are wound up. The Co-operative Tailoring Co. started a month or so agointhe building at the north- east corner of Sixth and Market. The ‘‘company’’ issued policies after the usual style of such concerns, upon which the patrons paid $1 a week, and were to get suits of clothesin their turn. Lahio’s name Is signed to the policies, itis stated, as secre- tary of thecompany. The other parties who were associated with Lahio in the concern were H. A. Carr and Herbert Kallman. The suits of clothes not forthcoming, it Is alleged, suits were instituted by ditferent holders of policies in Justice ‘Tissier’s in East St. Louis. Judgments in nine of the cases were given. The judgments were then given to Attorney Joseph E. Merryman to collect, but Messrs. Carrand Kaliman skipped out, it is stated, last Thursday night, leaving itis alleged, nothing on whichto levy. Attorney Merry- man is going to try to hold Lahio forthe amount. Mr. Papin statesthat the alleged assault by Lahio was not made onhim at Lahio’s place of business, as stated, butat Mr. Merryman’s office. WEDDING INVITATIONS. Prices the lowest.
