VIsaLia, Cal., Aug. 6..-One of the men who robbed Wells, Fargo & Co.’s sefe, after blow- ing open the express car with dynamite bombs, near Fresno, was captured near here yesterday afternoon after an exciting chase, during which Deputy Sheriff Whitty was shot in the neck by the fying criminals. The men were tracked from near the scene of the robbery into Visalia and tothe ranch- house of Chris Evans, who came here from Minnesota five yearsago. When the officers approached Evans’ place the men, who Were evidently expacting them, opened fire, and dropped Whitty, who fell from his horse. Then they jumped on horses and started for the hills. After them went fuily one hundred heavily armed men. The dust wasso deep in the road that, though there was a constant fusilade of Winches- ters, no one was hurt, asonly an occasional! glimpse of a man could be had. Pursuit was kept up tor nearly an hour and was intense- ly exciting, as fresh men, hearing the firing, joined in the chase. ‘ihe frightful speed and the intense heat s00n began to tellon the horses of the rob- bers. Finally, whenthey saw that capture was almost certain, they separated and struck off on different roads. Their pursu- ers divided into two bands,andin a few min wtes each party came up with its game. Both men showed fight to the end, and it is a miracie that only one was shot, as.many hundreds of shots were fired. It was at first reported that three mea had been captured, but this report proved to be unfounded. After a hard run of several miies the bandits took refuge in a barn, which was surrounded by their pursuers. Early § this morning two of the fugitives broke through the guard, fatally shooting one of the posse named Oscar Beaver, and making their escape. ‘The third man wascapturec. He provedto be George Sonntag. Thetwowho escaped were John Sonntag and Chris Evans. John Sontag, Ils a rancher, who has borne a good reputation, but whowas re- cently suspected of being connected witha train robbery near St. Louls. Many of the posse were in favor of lynching the rob- F. Youngand his deputy, Jeff Hunt, went out with a warrant last evening and arrestel Wm. § Poteete and §= Thomas Williams, charged with. the ¢erime. They were lodged in jail, and will have their preliminary trial this afternoon. ‘the cause ofthe troubleis that last week M!ss Mollie, the daughter ot Lissenby, eloped with Thomas Williams andthey were married at Wm. Poteet’s house. Immediately after the ceremony was performed James Lissenby and his son Tom rode up armed with Winchester rifies. The girl’s brother snatched the license from the magis- trate who performed the ceremony and tore. itup. The father took his daughter by force - and carried herhome. Itis said that Will- lams, the groom, swore Vengeance then againstthe Lissenbys. It is reasonable to suppose that this is a sequel to the tragedy. MAD WITH JEALOUSY. Moscow, Aug. 6.—Ata grand ball, given by the officers of the Czar’s Body Hussars, held here to-night at the Casino, Lieut. Ivan Rattovitch suddenly stepped into the middle of the room ana shot Prince Nicholas Sussto- vitch, a brother officer, who was waltzing with the Lieutenant’s afflanced. The Prince, who received ithe bullet in his heart, fell dead instantly, dragging his pariner with him to the ground. The assassin. amid the his comade, raised his afflanced’s head by the bairandthen blew his own brains out. The deed has created the wildest excitement in Russia’s upper circie. It was a clear case of jealousy. THE HODSON MURDER. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Aug. 6.—The Hodson murder is still the topic of the hour, but the public sentiment has changed and ig now with the young manand his family, The evidence given by the mother and brother showed great provocation. The young man was assaulted by his father andran from him, only when brought to bay did he draw his revolver. He warned his father away, but to no purpose, and then he fired the fatal shot. The evidence showed. the old man’s constant abuse of his son, who only re- mained at home through love of his mother. The preliminary trial will be heid to-morrow. ARRESTED IN CANADA. WiIxpsor, Ontario, Aug. 6.—John Beck of Cincinnati has caused the arrestof his wife charged with bigamy, and of Henry Crofton, alias Basht, charged with bringing stolen property into Canada.

Evans hasa wife and seven children here and Sontag has been attentive to one of his daughters. Sontaghas been a railroad engineerand has been under the surveillance of the officers for some time. One of the posse returned from the chase says that Evans and Sontag came to Evans’ house about 12 £4o’clock iast night, and, after eating supper, went to the barn. Five or six men standa- ing guard discovered their team in the barn lot, not having seen them come in. Undoubtedly they returned to secure hidden coin, as a hole filled with fresh dirt was found in the barn this morning. Deputy Sherif Oscar Beaver, who was guarding, saw the men at the barn and opened fire, the shot being returned by the robbers, wounding Beaver so that he died at B o’clock this morning. Fifteen shots were exchanged, Beaver firing eight. Someof his shots wounded the robbers’ horses sothat they had to be killed. While the guard was attending to Beaver the robbers escaped on foot and went in a northerly direction. Three miles from town they tried to borrow horses from an acquaintance. Officersin pursuit traced the men four miles northeast, where they en- tered afield. The pursuers’ team gave out andthey returned to town. Twenty or ‘ thirty men are now in pursuit on horse back. Sheriff Cunningham states that there is no doubt the men committed most of the train robberies in this valley. Excitement is high here, and the men will be hungif taken alive. They can hardly escape as all thoroughfares are guarded. Deputy Sheriff Witty, who was ghot yesterday, will recOver unless blood poisoning occurs. CRIME NEWS. BLOODY RACE WAR IMMINENT IN LOUISIANA.

VIENNA, Aug. 5.—Dr. Frey, an expert in matters pertaining to cholera, writes tothe newspapers that in the experience of 'himselfand other doctors the notion pre- | vailing among ignorant persons that cholera | patients were often buriedalive may be at- ' tributed ww the fact that three hours after death the bodies of victims of the scourge ' becomes distorted by muscular contractions, | often lasting for hours. These contractions | are taken by the persons mentioned as in- | dicating that life still exists in the bodies and asthe remains of cholera patients are In- terred as soon after death as possible, these | people imagine that the patients are buried ' before life is really extinct. The cholera has suddeply become epidemic 'at Teheran. Fourteen @eaths occurfed on | Thursday and yesterday twenty-five persons | were reported to have dled from the disease. The epidemic is still raging in Northern Khorassan and has also appeared at Ardokun / and other places in the neighborhood of Jezd. |The quarantine doctor at Resbt repdrts sev- eral deaths at that place and at Euseli and mail steamer The Russian passengers, however, in pursu- ance of instructions from the Russian Consul at Resht, resisted the Persian officials and The spread of the disease is largely attributed to the lack of cleanliness.

FROM MOROCCO, SIR CHARLES EUAN SMITH ENTERS A GENERAL DENIAL, LonpDON, Aug, 6.—A special from Tangie says: ‘‘Inan interview to-day Sir Charles Euan Smith declared thatthe recent sensa- tional reportsin regard to his mission to Fez, especially those describing the con- versation between the Sultan and himself, were greatly exaggerated, He did not use the bombasticlanguage attributed to him on that occasion and he did not tear up the treaty upon being offereda bribe after dis- covering that it had been tampered with. He further deciared tiiat he did not throw the pleces of the torn treaty at Sid Charnet, the Grand Vier, and that he did not order Sid Charnet out of the Mission quarters; that diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Morocco had not been broken off and the negotiations for a treaty had not been aban- donea: His farewell of the Sultan was of the most cordial description. **The feeling of the country isin favor of a treaty and he is daily receiving letters from rich and influential Moors regretting that he has not obtained the treaty.’’ The correspondenf says: ‘‘The Sultan’s soldiery are robbing the people by wholesale near Tangier.

Mibedinn AT DULUTH. DULUTH, Minn., Aug. 6.—There:is decided opposition here amjong the heaviest wheat shippers and vessel brokers to the imposition of tolls on Canadian boats in passing through the Soo Canal in order to force the bominion to discontinue discrimination against American ships passing through the Welland Canal. It will knock vessel men, so they claim, out of a _ large amount of business and will crip- pie heavy wheat exporters by removing Canadian competition for carrying business. This will be particularly sothis year, because tonnage is in great demand at stiff rates. It is probable that the President will be memo- | rialized either to defer action or at least give interested parties due notice hefore imposing _tolis as provided inthe bill lately passed by | carrying business claim this end of Lake Su- ‘involve an expenditure of | ferred to The Hague. | j Congress. * Parties interested in the lake will be more injuredthan benefited by such a measure,as thereis very little of our ton- nage passing the Welland Canal anyway.

Michigan’s Legislature Struggling Withea New Appointment. LANSING, Mich,, Aug. 6.—The same cloud of uncertainty that prevailed last night fs hang- ing over the State Capitol this morning. The Democrats are confident and assert that they have the necessary seventeen votes to pass the State Central Com mittee apportionment bill. They concede nothing from their provisions of thig; elght districts under it have population exceeding 90,000. Saginaw has been given but one Senator and the Twenty-seventh District divided and giventwo. This comparison is with the gerrymander bill, which was declared invalid. Barkworth (Dem.) of Jackison bas a proposition for a representa- tive bill which contemplatesa House mem- bership of sixty-four, the minimum under the Constitution. This was the subject for long discussion in the House com- mittee meeting last night and several computations were made on that basis. The Kepublicans say if the Democrats will submit a reasonably fair bill no opposition will be offered, but in ang event they will obstruct action until legiti- mate means are exhausted. Both Houses convened at 9:15 o’clock this morning. The Senate took a recesg for one hour to enable the com. mittee to examine the apportionment bills. In the House, Representative Chisholm offered a resolution instructing the House Apportionment Committee to report a bill on the basis of sixty-four membDers and the same was advocated by several members. Diekenman wanted toamend by instructing the committee to inquire into the advis- ability of this action instead of com- mitting the House to it, The amend- ment was rejected by a vote of 32 to 15 along party lines. The party advantage to Democrats is that it gives a larger propor- tion to the cities, which are supposed to elect Democratic members. For this reason it is opposed by the Republicans. Several mem- bers spoke upon it, the Democrats favoring such a Dilland tiie Republicans opposing it. KANSAS FUSIONISTS. Fort Scott, Kan., Aug. 6.—Politics in the Second Congressional District of Kansas, upon which district hinges the quegtion of fuse or notto fuseinthe other districts, are stillina condition which will permit of no presentimentas to how the Democrats and the third party people will vote. The Democrats of the other districts are loath to fuse on a third party candi- date for Congress unless the § third party people will consent to fuse on Col. H. L. Moore, the Democratic nominee in the Second District. It was also hoped by the Democrats of the western districts thata Democrat might bethe fusion candidate in the First District, but tnis is now out of the question, and they are determined to bring the ‘‘People’’to timeinthe Second, or de- feat them in their own districts. As it now stands, each party has a candi- date in the Second, but the Democracy of the ‘tate has brought such an influence to bear on the third party that their candidate S. 8. King of Kansas City, Kan., has place his case inthe hands of the Congressional committee ol his supporters and wili with- draw attheirrequest. This will doubtless result in his withdrawaland consequently a closely allianced fusion in all districts ex- cept the First. COUNTING ALABAMA’S VOTE. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Aug. 6.—The official count of the vote of the State began at noon to-day at the county seats of the various counties. Contests were entered in a num- ber of counties; among them are Montgomery, Bullock, Conecuh and Butler. Owing to this fact,.Jittle will be known as to the official count to-pay. The contests are made over candidates for Representatives and the exact standing of the next Legisia- will begin to-day, is finished. Serious trouble is feared in several counties, where the Kolb men are gathered in large numbers to de- mand a fair count. P THE NEW YORK MUDDLE. ALEXANDRIA Bay, N. Y., Aug. 6.—When Gov. Flower was told last night that Juage Rumsey had pronounced the apportionment act unconstitutional, he said: ‘‘There is nothing to say, except that the case goes to the general term of the Court of Appeals. I have no opinion to express on the subject, and there is no need of action on my part un- til atter the Court of Appeals has affirmed the decision of Judge Rumsey.’’ Gov. Flower said that Junge Rumsey was a Republican, and that the judges of the Court of Appeals of that district were also Republi- cans, so he thought the case would go tothe Court of Appeals, Incase the Court of Ap- peals affirms the decision, he said he wouid callan extra session of the Legislature to apportion the State, providing itis constitu- tional to do so, GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS. WEST PLAINS, Mo., Aug. 6.—The Farmers’ Alliance of Texas County has put the follow- ing ticket in the field, but there is no possible show foritto pullthrough: A. H. Cardwell for representative; Robert Bezont, Sheriff; King Lightfoot, Collector; E. H. Wheeler, Assessor; John Marcy, Treasurer; Sam stephens and Peter Mason, County Judges; J. Kb. Yates, Surveyor; Jack Grose, Coroner. This ticket will probably poll in the neigh- borhood of 350 votes, no more, LOUISIANA ALLIANCE. MONROE, La., Aug. 6.—The Farmers’ Alll- ance Union adjourned sine die to-day. The third party element placed in nomination for President J. G. Copeland of Claiborne, while the anti-third partyites nominated J, W. Mc- Farland, the present Secretary, a third party man. The former was elected by 65 to 6. The third party members from the Fourth Louis!- ana District decided in caucus th) nominate a candidate for Congress. M’KINLEY IN NEBRASKA. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6,—Gov.

A FINAL ANSWER DEMANDED FROM PRESIDENT CLARK. — Unless His Reply Is Satisfactory Every Key on the System Will Close at 6 p. m.—Chief Ramsay Issues a General Circular—~ A Strike Ended — Labor News. OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 6.—The prospects are that before to-day’s sun goes down the West will see one of the greatest telegraphers® strikes in the country’s history. At mid- night last night President Clark of the Union Pacific, after a conference with Gould, wire a refusal of the telegraphers’ demands fo increased salaries. The message was read to the telegraphers and the situation was dis-* cussed fortwo hours. Clark took the same position as Dickinson, explaining that the road was not earning enough to warrant aay increase in operating expenses. The consideration of the letter and the Jong argument which followed resulted in no advantage for either side, ana the committee retired. An hour later Grand Chief Ramsay of the Order of Ratlway Tele- graphers notified Dickinson that the operat. ors had decided on an ultimatum. They gave him notice that if the demands of the teleg- raphers were not granted by 6p. m., a gen- eral strike all over the system would be ordered. Mr. Dickinson had no authority to give the increase demanded, and after with Mr. Clark by wire the matter was referred to the Board of Directors, whose headquarters are in Boston. Said Dickinson: ‘*It is trae tbat the operators threaten to strike. They had the pins set for a sirike last night, but conciudedto postpone it until | to-day. The matter at issue now is the scale of wages. The telegraphers demand that the minimum shall be $50 a month on all divis- ions. Weare willing to accede $45. ‘*There is something in it,’’ said Chief Ramsay when asked as to thetruthof the - rumors, but he was very evasive when it came to giving definite information, ‘*‘The company . has conceded the ru@s we want, and the . only thing at issue is, wages. a difference of $2,000 or $3,000 between us and Ithink the company will grant that before 3 night. If not, then—’’ The Chief looked wise and refused to talk. Grand Chief Ramsey has issued the follow- ing ultimatum: ‘*‘To ALL CONCERNED—Mr. Dickinson has requested an extension of time, and it hag been decided to grant him until6 p. m, to-day tocommunicate with the President and dl- rectors. If his answeris unfavorable, final instructions will be wired you.’’ If this ultimatum is ignored it is believed there will be a strike involving not only the Order of Railway Telegraphers but also the Federation of Railway Employes, as it is claimed by the operators that the latter or- ganization will sapport them if necessary to atonce enforce their demands. 976 operators between Portland, Ore,;, and Kansas City on the Union Pacliic, and should they be ordered out the road will experience great difficulty in moving the great number of special trains during the Knights Templar conclave. Every operatorin Denver employed by the ‘Union Pacific is ready to go out and say indlt- vidually that the railway trainmen are in sympathy with them. COMPROMISED.

Saeger. ee a or A LIVELY AND EXCITING SCENE IN JUSTICE MEILERT’S COURT. Saeger Oalled Martin a Liar and the . Lawyer Ran Both Saeger and the Lat- ter’s Son Out of the Court-Room—A Constable Knocked Down—The Sacger Case. . ; The little temple of justice at No. 4922 North Broadway, John F. Mielert, high priest and oracle, and Constable Beeson J. Townsend, inner guard, was shaken yesterday afternoon by eloguence and pugilism. Col. John I. Martin, wm. Saeger, John Ww. Saeger, his son, played more or less leading parts. The case of Luebering Bros. vs. Wm. Saeger and wife fora bill of groceries amounting to ' $52 was ontrial. Mr. Tom Rowe appeared for William Saeger and had made an eloquent plea to the court, claiming that his client was not of right responsible for the bill be- cause she was not living with him at the time it was contracted, July 8, In fact, Mr. Rowe ’ claimed that Mr. Saeger had warned Lueber- ing Bros. by letter that he would not pay any bills which his wife might run up, but yet, he said, they did so and bad given her credit for fifteen dozen of eggs, a sack of coffee and other large-sized items, amounting in all to $52. Col. Martin, in alf of Luebering Bros, and incl- entally in behalf of Mrs. Saeger, took an opposite view of Mr. Saeger’s duties in the matter. It was thusthat he eloquently pleaded: COL. JOHN’S RLOQUERT. PLFA. **Your Honor, this poor, weakly woman has been for twenty-seven years a faith- fui and obedient wife to this sturdy giant behind me. She was ever alive to his interests. she bought flour to knead and bake bread for him and his children. She did not give his money tothe baker, as do so many wives. No, your honor, she did not. She bought soap to wash his clothes on the wash-board and leave in his tat pocketbook the amount ofa laundry bill. Your Honor, Mr. Saeger should have wept for joy at the good wife who was so economical of his resources. The ttems in this bill are all necessaries of life for Mr. Saegerand his wife——’’ Mr. Saeger had been sitting with his chair tipped . back against the railing of the court, uncon- sciously drinking of the sweets of eloquence prepared by distinguished caterers of the articie. bis chair to the floor and startied the court-room the remarx: ‘*That is a _ great bi lie.’’ Avred fiag before a bull ina Spanis bull ring never caused a greater disturbagce, Col. Martin was wide awake to the dignity of his office and to the gravity of the insult, and he made an instant break for Mr. Saeger. The latter gentleman grasped the serious aspect of his littie speech and hid behind his chair. Col. Martin’s fist was polsed for launching, but Mr. saeger was beyond reach. At this stage John W. Saeger, the son, a young man 6 feet high and brawn in his very shadow, leapt over the railing of the court and advanced toward | Ool. Martin. AN EXCITING SCENF. This intrusion was to the taste of Col. Mar- tin who is too chivalrous to strike an old man ifbe has only a second to bethink himserf. Fast and quick toward John W. Saeger hast- ened Col. Martin, like a 22-knot armored cruiser. Mr. saeger, Jr., apparently saw the mistake his filial affections had led him to make, for the young man hurried back to the other side of the rall- ing, But Col. Martin kept due on and was aboutto senda bolt from his ter- rible left when the Constable seized him) around the body and stayed his course fora moment—but no lonyver. : Neer JOE TERRY, while engaged ina scrap with another colored maninthe famous Eighth street yard, this morning, was stabbed in the left leg.

From an Englishman in Paris. Paul de Musset, perhaps as a kind of re- ven¢e for the wrongs suffered by his brother, once gave an amusing description of the mis- carried attempt of Georges Sand to ‘‘net,’ Eugene Delacroix, . It would appear that the painter had shown signs of yielding to the charms which few men were able to withstand, or, at any rate, that Georges Sand fancied she could detect such signs. Whether it was from a wish on Georges Sand’s part to precipitate matters or to nip the thing in the bud, it would be aifi- cult to determine, but it is certain that she pursued her usual tactics—that is, she en- deavored to provoke an admission of her ad- mirer’s feeling. ThoughI subsequently as- certained that Paul de Musset?s story was substantially true,lam not altogether pre- pared, knowing his animosity against her, to accept his aeniee theory of the lady’s desire ‘*de bru squer les finacailles.’’ One morning, then, while Delacroix was at work, Georges Sand entered his studio. She looked out of spirits andalmost immediately stated the purpose of her visit. ‘*My poms Eugene!’’ she began; ‘‘l am afraid I have got sad news for you.’’ **Oh, indeed,’’ said Delacroix, without in- terrupting his work, and just giving her one of his cordial smiles in guise of welcome. ‘*Yes, my dear friend, I have carefully con- sulted my own heart, and the upshot is, lam grieved to tell you, that I feel I cannot and could never love you.’’ Delacroix Kept on painting, ‘‘Is that a fact?’’ he said, ‘*Yes, andIask you once more to pardon me and to give mecredit for my candor—my poor Delacroix.’’ Delacroix did not budge from his easel, **You are angry with me, are you not? will never forgive me?’’ **Certainly l will. Only I want you te keep quiet forten minutes; I have got a bit of sky there which has caused mea good deal of trouble; it is just coming right. Go and sit down or else take a little walk, and come back in ten minutes.’’ Of course Georges Sand did not return; and equally, of course, did not tell the story to any one, but somehow it leaked out. Jenny Leguillou had overheard the scene—she was quite capable of Hstening behind a screen or door—and reported it. Delacroix himself, when ‘‘chaffed’’ about it, never denied it. There was no need for him to do so, because theoretically it redounded to the lady’s honor, bad she not rejected his advances? You CIRCUIT COURT NEWS. A Number cf New Suits Filed To-Day— Court Notes.

There Are Many Elements of the Pict- From the Omaha When bern oa a mining camp ars { cuckarenens aspect, and whether situated in the dark shadow of some rocky oo ge, through which rushes 4 noisy, snow- tor- rent, or upon a rocky and gee tous hill- side, the scene is equall wild and romantic. The little cabins nestle insheltered nooks where a bit of tevel ground can be foun large enough to hold the miniature struc- ture, with usually a sentinel pine at the door and a well-worn path+to the stream, which lashes and foams along its d, or they cling to the steep mountain sides, where winding trails lead to the ravine below. The hills, the gulches, the very rocks are literally honey -combed with dark tunnels and ‘‘prospect hoies,’’ where men have searched with pick and powder for the precious metals, and many a hope lies buried in these excavations where the white ‘‘clumps’’ gleam like new graves among the gray rocks and the green pines. The camp that has outlived its boom has an especially desolate air. The old shaft- houses, with their tall smokestacks leaning like the tower of Pisa, the long tunnels, the deep, dark and gruesome shafts going down hundreds of feet into the earth, with their rotten timbers and damp, slippery ladders which erst have borne the feet of merry workmen to their labors, give onea chill of horror to look down into their yawning depths, and one can fancy he sees the ghastly light of the miner’s candle flickering here and there in the gloom. | ut the busy camp, the camp that is boom- ing, is anything but quiet. At 7 e’clock whistjes blow and swarms of men begin to disappear into their burrows, and hundreds of feet below the surface, by the pale light of tallow candles, they drill and blast the solid rock allday. At 5 they come up pale and half biinded by the sunlight, while the ‘‘night shift’’ goes down in their place to continue the work through the night. Oncea miner alwaysa miner seems to be the rule. Perhaps itisthe spice of danger ever present in the probability ofan explod- ing cap ofthe giant powder, a falling rock, or the falling of timbers or machinery that lends a fascination to many whose nature it istotoy with danger. At any rate areal miner seldom abandons his occupation, al- though he may meet with countless mishaps or lose months of pay in some dishonest com- pany. The majority of the gold miners are Amer- icans, and are mostly an intelligent, inde- pendent and reliable class. Occasionally a squad of dagos go intothe mines, but their cowardice and superstitions render them nearly useless. Noltalian can be induced to enter a mine where an accident has ever oc- curred, especially ifithas been of a _ fatal nature. Cornishmen are often employed and usually are good workmen, but their queer dialect and peculiar habits make them the butt of unmer- ciful ridicule. Foreigners just over show an amazing fear of bosses, as was shown in the case of a raw Frenchman recently, who worked with such unusual dil- igence during the visits of the superintend- ent as to arouse that official’s suspicions. It the habit of the mento cease at the same time giving their attention to his instructions, butthe poor Frenchman, who was really a good fellow anxious to hold his job, worked with such untiring energy that it seemed evident that his efforts were strained for the purpose ofeffect. The boss was disgusted and threat- ened to discharge him, A few timely hints from his fellow workmen, however, induced the Frenchman to desist from such extreme efforts and to sit down upon his wheelbarrow at the next visit from the official, while his uneasy and frightened appearance caused the laugh to go round. While the work underground has itsattrac- tions forthe Drawny arm and skilled hand, that of the anxious prospecter above, prow!l- ing among the rocks and searching every seam and crevice in search of gold is full of alternate hope and despondency, and many aman grown gray in the work has finally lain down to dle broken in heart and body in this mad following of the most eXasperating will o’the wisp that ever lured menon todespair. And if ever the gentle goddess of hope transforms herself into a demon itis when she beckons with her al- luring finger through mountain fastnesses while her victim plods with weary step, ever searching step by step for that which he will never find. Man may be learned in mineralogy and may be able to tell at a glance the nature and quality ofore. He may explain to you the difference between telluride and tellurfum. He may Know all the different strata and formations and be ableto survey the distance through a mountain toan inch. And while gayly along, fully equipped fora successful prospecting tour, some poor tenderfoot or green hobo, plod- ding by abstractedly, kicks over a rotten stump or digs his heels into the ground as he rests inthe shade of a pine; and, lo! the precious metal is in sight. The _ tender- foot may or may not know that the rusty ore beneath his feet is worth $1,000 perton. The smart man may ride along and offer him a fair price for his find or hootat the idea of its value and eventually get It all; and again the finder may be smart enough to hold on toit. These things are just as they happen,and nature herself seems a self- ish and capricious parent, pouring into the { laps of her favored children vast streams of gold from her veins and cruelly withholding Irom others even the smallest portion of her weaith. Such is the feverish and over- wrought life of the goldseeker. ee A TERRIBLE LEOPARD, Before It Was Killed It Was Driven From the Bodies of Eighty-Two Victims. From the Calcutta Englishman. The monster was a male leopard, in no re- spect different from an ordinary leopard in the beauty of its skin and its general appear- ance, save that for its length, 6 feet 6 inches, when it was measured before being divested of its skin, it had an abnormally large head and very powerful shoulders.

The ani. mal took refuge, whenever search was made forit, inthe sugar cane. Never before—at least in Rajshahi—bas a leopard been known to display the same ferocity and daring.

During the day the temperature de- creases constantly from the ground upward; in the lower strata the decrease is slower in winter than insummer, In the latter season it amounts to 2.5 deg. per #28 feet, but above 500 feet the rate of decrease does not showa decided annual variation; the amount is about 1.6 deg. per 328 feet. It is now worthy of remark that at a height of 984 feet (300 meters) in open air, the decrease of tempera- ture is rapid, both during the night: and during the day, and nearly approaches the theoretical vaiue of the law of the adiabatic expansion of gases. WAKES OVER THE DEAD. The Custom Is Said to Obtainin All Quar- ters of the Globe. From the Philadelphia Press, Said a jrell-krtfbwn embalmer of this city, speaking Of waking the dead: ‘‘The custom is almost a universal one, and in some form is observed by every race and tribe whether civilized or barbarous. In this country we are apt toassociate wakes with the Catholic people, but the sitting up with the body after death, and especially during the night time, from time out of mind, has been prac- ticed by those of every other creed. This cus- tom probably originated when embalming and undertaking were very crude andin their infancy and the dread of dear friends and re- latives at leaving the bodies of their loved ones alone over night, and to prevent any in- jury tothe body, watchers were selected or appointed who sat up all nightand took turns in looking after the condition of ‘the body. } Then the doubt in many people’s minds that their lifeless ones are really cead is an- other reason for the custom. ‘*I will remember as long as I live whenI was serving as an apprentice, I was called upon to joina party of watchers in a room where the body of a stout old gentleman lay resting on a cooling board toawait the prepa- ration of a special sizedcoftin. It was my duty to accompany one of the young ladies present, who carried the light into the room where the body lay, and occasionally moisten a cloth with antiseptic fluid that was spread over the face of the dead. It was a bitter cold night and the wind was howling mournfally without and creaking doorsanda shaking win- dows; as we passedin before the body and I raised the covering from the dead man’s face, my companion accidentally jogged the board, and instantly following the motiona low gutteral sound proceeded from the mouth of the dead body, which nearly par- alyzed us with fright. My companion shrieked. I imagined I saw the llps move and the eyelids quiver; the cold sweat oozed from my foreheadin huge bead-like drops. All the watchers cameinand an investiga- tion ensued. It wasonly the exit of some air in the body that was started by the stiaking of the body on the board, but it wasa terrl- ble ordeal to me, Ican assure you.’’ PROGRESS IN PHOTOGRAPBHY. ——— —— Scientists Exyvect Soon to Be Able to Take Your Picture by Telephone. From the London News. / A map of the heavens is being prepared as a cost of £1,200,000 (which the leading nationt have agreed to raise), as an example of what telescope photography can do. Instantane- ous photography seems to have attained per- fection, for it is now possible to fix ths image of acannon ball flying through the air. Evenmicrobes are now being photo- graphed. A young French chemist, M. Henrt Courtonne, is credited with a new discovery, for which we have been looking to Mr. Edison. Sound being transmissible Dy telephone, M. Courtonne argued by a rigorous analogy that light might be transmitted too. As the telephone consists of a transmitter, a wire and a receiver. so there was reason to Delleve that these three organs might be adapted for and for this purpose the transmitter and receiver should be prepared chemically for receiving and giving out light instead of sound vibrations. This was done by substituting sensitized photographic plates for the ordinary tele- phone plate. One of the plates was placed in front of an aperture through which an image was cast, and this image has been forwarded by wire and has been seen at the other end. The first apparatus was very imperfect, and M. Courtonne hav- ing heard that Mr. Edison was on the track of a similar discovery, resoived to publish his experiments, a description of which he, however, sent in a sealed letter to the Academy in 1889. This letter is only to be opened at the sender’s request. The Figaro says that the consequences of the telephotography cannot be over estl- mated. To-morrow, itsays, you will see in Paris the image of a man smoking in St, Petersburg. HE ASKED FOR ANOTHER. Merely Running Over Certain Ways to Clean Suicide for His Wife’s Benefit. From the Detroit Tribune. A sad-visaged man, whose clothes exhib- ited the evidence ofadvanced age, stood on the edge of the dock and scrutinized the water fixedly. Several gentlemen of exten- sive leisure lounged picturesquely under the shade of a warehouse and lazily contem- lated the sad-visaged party. Presently the tter roused himseif from his reverie. ‘*Is the water deep enough here to drown a rson?’’ he inquired anxiously. The gentlemen of leisure were manifestly amused. ‘‘About twenty feet there,’’ one of them deigned to reply with a scornful laugh. ‘Thank you.’’ The sad man stared at the chilly waves. ‘‘Would one be hindered in attemptiug to drown one’s self here?’’ The gentlemen of leisure thought not. ‘*Thank you.’’ Hie zianced anxiously about the dock. ‘‘No life-saving arrangements about here?’’ ‘*None atall.’’ ‘‘Thank you.’’ He pondered. ‘‘If you saw a person jump into the water you wouldn’t interfere?’’ **Not a bit of it.’’ ‘*Thagk you.’’ He turned again and looked over the edge of the dock. The waves were ntly splashing against the piling and the ot summer sun was tipping each little rip- ple with silver light. ‘‘Sure?’’ ‘‘Sure. ‘Thank you.’’ The sad-visaged man but- toned his frayed coat more closely about his attenuated figure, sighed heavily and started toleave. ‘‘Here!’’ the gentlemen of leisure were interested. ‘‘Well?’’ the sad-visaged man had paused. ‘‘Ain’t you goingto jaimp into the river?’’ The sad-visaged man looked astonished. ‘‘Me? Well, I guess not. Oh, no, not I. ha! Quite a nétural mistake. reliable information. Thank you very much. Good day.’’ ping adroitly among the ey pe and packages he was soon lost to sight.

A Big Mastiff’s Fast for Forty-three Days —Now on the Way to Recovery. From the Toronto Globe. On the 8th of June last at about 11 a. m. Mrs. Freeman of 283 Richmond street west was walking along King street on the south side just west of the Kensington Hotel, ac- companied by her magnificent mastiff, Lion. When just past 153 King street, which is an empty store, formerly occupied by Mr. Matheson, druggist, Mrs. Freeman missed the dog. To use her own words, ‘‘He seemed, to have disappeared as suddenly as if the earth had aoeee and swallowed himup.’’ She made diligent search in all directions, calling the dog by name, hunted up and down the street, in- quiring of every one for her missing pet, but alltono purpose, No trace ofsign of him could be seen. Despairing of finding him herself, Mrs. Freeman advertised in all the papers, offering a reward of $25 for the re- covery of Lion. No news was received of him, and Mr. and Mrs. Freeman searched the city over, calling atevery police station and leaving descriptions of the dog in every _ rection. Week after week passed away, and Mr. and Mrs. Freeman had at last reluctantly to abandon all hope of recovering their favorite. On Wednesday, however, Lion was found. At about 3 o’clock in the afternoon a work- man in the employ of the gas company en- tered the vacant store 153 King street West, where he had been employed by the company In laying the new pipes forty-three days before. He opened the door leading down to the cellar, and entering was astonished to see inthe dim light what appeared to bea dog lying stretched on the floor. On approaching nearer the man was shocked at the sight that met his eyes. Before him lay the skeleton of a dog, the skull lying flat between the forepaws, every bone, every joint showing out plainly and dis- tinctly, the hips and elbow chewed and mangled. The fawn skin was drawn so tight over the bones that in places they showed white through it. The eyes were cavernous, sightless and black. The workman started in horror when he sawa quiver pass over the heap before him, and he kKnewthat life was not yet gone. Pickinzitup in his arms, al- most featherweivht, he carried it up stairs, and, laying it on the floor of the front room, ran across the street to the office of Veterin- ary Surgeon George H. Lucasfor assistance. The news spread, and crowds of men poured out of the neighboring houses eager to see the living skeleton. When Mr. Lucas reached the store the crowd was so thick that he had to enter by the back door, the front being impossible. Through the windows the crowd gazed in horror atthe shocking object lying onthe floor before them, but no one would enter, forallfeared the poor beast, if still alive, might have strength sufficient to fasten his poisoned fangs in them. Mr. Lucas, how- ever, saw at a giance that the wretched beast Was absolutely powerless, and picking himup in his arms carried him across to his office. Hastily procuring some water he» poured a few drops on the swollen, blackened tongue—the poor beast could not even lap—and in a tew seconds the effect was Seen, and Lion feebly and weakly moved his tail. Small doses of brandy and milk were administered. Afterafewhours Mr. Lucas announced his belief that the dog would live. By 10 0’clock Lion was so far recovered as to raise up on his feet for a few seconds,when he would drop back again. Atla. m. he was still getting better, and stood up again. Mr. Lucas satup with him all night.. He admin- istered small doses of brandy and milk every half hour, and yesterday afternoon gave the dog his first meal in the shape of two eggs beaten up. The poor brute’s howls were.heard, and for many days Mrs. McVUarthy and her family,who occupy the adjoining house, were perfectly aware that the dog was in the house, for they often heard him barking and whining, but they thought nothing ofit, supposing that he had been purposely placed there to guard the premises, never suspecting that he was not being regularly fed. They had not,however, heard any sound for several weeks, and con- cluded that he had been removed, instead of which, as it turns Out, he had simply be- come too weak to stand or bark, and was slowly dying, life being sustained by the slow consumption of his owh body. The story that was first told was that the dog had been all the while inthecellar. This is not probable. for by many unmistakable Signs, the tearing of the woodwork, paper, etc., it was likely he was confined in a small back room, the furthest removed from the street. Such a sight as the brute presents! He had, evidently, in the agonies of hunger and thirst, torn the flesh off his paws and lips. The door of the cellar was half gnawed through, and several holes have been bitten clean through the floor and burrowed into the clay beneath. There is no doubt that the dog has been raving mad during the forty- three days he was confined in the store. Had any one found him a week or ten days ago he would assuredly have torn him to pleces, The only chance he had of water was a little dropinthe pan of a closet in the corner, which was long since putrid, Lion was @ inagnificent specimen ofa thor- oughbred mastiff and was imported from England. He is only two years of age, and when weighed a few days previous to his incarceration turned the scale at 116 pounds. Last night he weighed barely 25 pounds. He is now living at Mrs. Lucas’ office, 168 King street west. The office was crowded all day with anxious and sympathizing people. Among the visitors were many ladies, sev- eralof whom are well-known members of the Humane Society. WHAT THEY ATE. And It Was an Excellent Menu for a Warm Day. From the Kansas City Jouraal.

Then bring me a cup of cold bouillon, some cold roast beef, rare, cold asparagus, with dressing, and some straw- berries on the stem, witb a plate of powdered sugar and some cracked ice.’’ ‘The women opposite looked at each other.

Weather forecast fer thirty-six hours, be- ginning at 8 a. m. to-day, for Missouri: Fair, preceded by showers; variable winds, shifting to southerly. Quite general rain has fallen in Illinois, In- diana and Kentucky. Elsewhere the condi- tions remain fair. While occasional scattered showers are likely to occur to-day in Eastern Ne- braska and Kansas, the chances for an immediate termination of dry conditions in that section are not encouraging.

Perhaps it was caused by a well-grounded belief that it was the only way he could hope to make anything out of a publisher. , a. THE old free trade scarecrow has been dangling before the eyes of the American people so long that they laugh at it, but McKinley seems to be ignorant of the fact and is still working the poor old thing as the chief hope of his party. He opens the campaign on the Carnegie theory that the American people are fools. It will be noted that although the strik- ers arrested for murder in connection with the Homestead riot were permitted to swelter awhile in jail before being released on bail the Carnegie bosses were kindly preserved from such an unpleasant experi- ence. Money and influence are as potent in Pittsburg as elsewhere. REPRESENTATIVE WATSON has been taught a valuable lesson in the matter of referring to the jags of his fellow Con- gressmen. He should néver say that a member was drunk and reeled through the aisles, but that he was under the influence of liquor and walked unsteadily. Thus no reflections will be cast upon Congressional cold tea, the honor of the House will be preserved, the tired feelings of Congress- men will be respected and he will be safe from the accusation of lying by exaggera- tion. BERKMANN, according to all accounts, had an opportunity to fire several shots at short range and to stick a knife into Frick, yet thé irrepressible capitalist is out and at work again. If the Anarchists do not denounce Berkmann as unworthy of mem- bership in the loud-mouthed band of long- haired assassins the country will have to draw in ite opinion of them and count them as of less danger to the peace and safety of mankind than a covey of Jersey- bred mosquitoes. WHEN John M. Palmer was merely Oop- posing the extension of negro slavery the » a slave oligarchy falsely called hjm an abo-. tect free white labor from oppression, the baronial oligarchy falsely calls him an anarchist. The advoeates of plutocratic privilege im this country are treading closely in the footéteps of the upliolders of negro slavery, and are unwisely invok- ing and provoking a fatal crusade against what they consider the rights of property. an ee a. THE M’KINLEY KEYNOTE. Mr. McKinley says that more farmers are not wanted in this country, but more | citizens who do not raise their food are wanted to eat what the farmers produce. The reason that wedo not want more far- mers is because under the protective tariff the market of the farmers is practically restricted to this country and, there- fore, the production must be restricted to the needs of the home market. According to the McKinley idea that country is most prosperous which feeds upon itself and only produces enough to satisfy its owh wants. One industry should be hampered and restricted in order that another may be built up by protec- tion, and thus the nation is to be rendered sufficient unto itself and citizens are to live and prosper upon each other alone. This idea is such arare curiosity of po- litical economy that it must be rescued from oblivion and preserved for the enter- tainment of mankind. Within its pur- view the wise men who have discovered that unrestricted industry and productive power isthe road to wealth, and that the only way for a nation to get rich is to produce a surplus and exchange it profita- bly for the products of other nations were fools. The proper way to get rich is fora nation to make only what it wants and no more. And this delusion of economic infancy is the keynote of the McKinley campaign. Fortunately for the country, their Mc- Kinley ideal of a tight little community living in itself and representing the Chi- nese idea of exclusion is not realized. The people go on blindly producing and those who are not protected are sacrificed for those who aré protected. What in theory is economical folly becomes in practice govermental robbery. One set of citizens fatten by favor upon others. —_——_ > _ 2 -—— ——__—_—_ DRUM-HEAD LAW. The Philadelphia Times—hitherto noted for its conservatism and common sense— discussing the action of Lieut.-Col. Streator in the Iams affair, repeats and in- dorses the language used by Gen. Snow- den, that he (Streator) was acting ‘‘in the face of rebellion, treason, murder and anarchy.’’ Hence, of course, he was jus- tified in hanging Iams up by the thumbs for nineteen minutes; and, according to the same logic, would have been justified in giving him a hundred lashes on the bare back. Whether the Snowden-Times logic is sound or otherwise, is a question which public opinion has already answered with sufficient emphasis. Our purpose now is simply toremind the Times of the scrip- tural proverb that ‘ta soft answer turneth away wrath,’’ and that hard answers are likely to do just the other thing. The Homestead strikers are not ‘‘rebels,’’ ‘*traitors,’’ ‘*murderers,’’ and ‘‘Anarch- ists,’’? any more than are Gen. Snowden and the editor of the Times; but it does not improve either their mannérs or morals to callthem such. “Human nature is so pe- culiarly constituted that the persistent charging of innocent men with crime, is the best possible way to make criminals of them—and criminals thus made are of the worst sort. It is well to remember that those Home- stead strikers do not stand alone. Not only do they belong to a powerful labor organization of their own—the Amalga- mated Steel & Iron Association—but every other labor organization in the country (and they are innumerable) 1s more or less in sympathy withthem. This sympathy may not assume active shape, but it is nevertheless a force which ought to be taken into account, because, sooner or later, it will be an all-conquering power. From skilled workmen to sand-haulers, labor is now thoroughly organized and ready for battle. It waits but for one thing—a _ leader. When the man arises—as he surely will sooner or later— who can unite all the differént labor or- ganizations into one army, obedient to a single executive head} it will march to as- sured and overwhelming victory. If that victory is to be as peaceful as complete—as we hope and believe—it is wise not to give triumphant labor such insulting memories asthe slanderous wordsof Snowden and the Times are calculated to produce. Iris significant that nota single word has been printed by any newspaper in St. Louis in defense of Judge Normile’s con- duct with reference tothe conspiracy to defeat justice at the Four Courts, in an- swer to any criticism made upon him asa judge or in extenuation of any charge as to crookedness or inefficiency in the administration of criminal justice in this city. Several local papers have commended the Post-D1sPpaTcu for its attack upon the ‘“push’’ combine and the inefficiency and corruption prevailing in the municipal government, but not one has dared to at- tempt the slightest vindication of the dis- reputable elements and influences in ap- parent control of the city administration. There is not a dissenting voice to the righteousness of the Post-DisPpaTou’s fight against these elements and influences from the reputable press and people of St. Louis. THE minority of the Public Lands Com- mittee attempted to clear Russell Harrison from the charge that his influence with the Secretary ofthe Interior was secured through a bargain in the matter of the transfer of privileges in the Yellowstone pathin : Park. But why was Russell Harrison mixed up in the affairat all? Any tamper- ing with public business upon his part is an offense to the country and a degrada- tion of his father’s administration. If the President cannot stop his fhterference in Government matters the country will do it. ; —— EE” =~ Fuur Courts Corruption. From the St. Louis Spectator. Ooncerning the merits ofthe case of Judge Normile against the Post-DispatTcn, the evidence, when brought out in court, will disclose all the facts that need be known and robably More too, but that there is as much corruption in and about the Four Courts as in any temple of justice on the face of the earth there is not the shadow ofa doubt. In- deed, St. Louis is becoming known abroad almost as much for her lack of inclination to punish law-breakers as for her com- mercial importance, and as a busi- ness proposition the voters of this city canmot afford to let this’ sort of thing goon much longer. I dao not pretend to locate the exact ‘‘spot,’’ at the Four Courts, at which the headquarters of corrup.- tion may be found, but it is there, and al- though grand juries have on several occa- sions come sonear locating it that groans and threats have been heard, no one as yet has been able to disturb the ‘‘spot,’’ or break its influence to any great extent. And what makes the organization of the ‘‘spot’’ all the more powerful is that it includes the fine workers of both political parties. But for that there could be engineered a political up- rising by the outs that would sweep the ins into everlasting oblivion, but the mere change from one set of bosses to another will accomplish nothing. The Four Courts Ring. From the American Celt, in these days of municipal reform and pro- jected correction of local abuses, social and political, itis altogether beyond any reason- able belief that the most anomalous institu- tion, the ‘‘Four Courts ring,’’ can much longer escape correction. The present condition of things at the Four Courts Is deeply to be lamented. Indeed we want no better evidence on this important subject to confirm the truth of our observa- tion than the scenes which recently occurred in Judge Morris’ court and in the Grand-jury room, In pointof factitis almost impossl- ble to convict any man whoisinany way connected with the ‘‘push.’’ Overestimated Damages. From the Farmington Times. Judge Normile of the St. Louis Crimina Court has sued the Post- DisPpaTcu for $400,000 damages to his character, because that paper had the temerity to tell some of the aisgrace- ful things that take place under the shadow of his court. Asall the other papers of that city, either by éxpression or silence, give sanction to the P.-D.’s exposure, one might infer that Judge Normile’s judicial charac- ter, at least, has been overestimated in the amount of damages claimed. THE PEOPLE’S FORUM. ‘No matter written on both sides ofthe sheet can eppear under this head.—ED. i A School Principal’s Examination. — To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: I think scholars every where will agree with me, nota scholar, thatthe modern English literature should be taughtas well as the ancient’ forms in our publicschools. Yet, glancing over the English literature examin- ation for principals for July, 1892, Ifind that there is but one question that concerns Hter- ature since the days or Pope and Dryden. Moreover, the questions as they are do not by any means present a fair examination. They seemto have been put up by some English teacher who hada few special hobbies. I think it would be quite safe to offer a fortune tothe English student who could make 10 per cent on the ex- amination, off hand. Isend the examina- tion, asking you to print it with all its errors of spelling, forthe amusement of teachers who believe that common sense is a part of teaching. PRINCIPAL.

To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: If you will kindly favor me with another article on the Sunday-ciosing question I will state that Mr. Timke does not stick to the question at all. He first claimed that barbers could not exist without Sunday work, and I went on to show him they could. It worked all right everywhere they tried it, and if he wants further proofl can show a proprietor of a hotel barbershop who kept account of his wages the time Sunday closing was in ef- fect here, and M@® did just as wellas now. As for the workingmen, I will bet that not more than one out of every bundred would refuse to sign a petition to close on Sunday. What benefit is it to us to work on Sunday? If all shops would close we would do just as well. We work from twenty-five to forty hours a week more than any other skilled workmen, and only make a little over half what they make. Now, frog the canvassing we have done,we Know it is fot the customers that are keeping us back, but it is the bar. bers themselves, for if they would all fall into line we could soon throw the shackies from around us and enjoy a little rest and pleasure like other workmen. JULIUS VAUPEL. Sprinkling in Spots. To the Editor of the Post- Dispatch: We notice in this evening’s Post- Dispaton that the West End has too much sprinkling on Lindelliavenue.

Democratic Conferenes ‘Held at the Laclede Hotel To-Day. STATE AND CITY COMMITTEEMEN MEET THE BUSINESS MEN’S ASSOCIATION. Extensive Arrangements Under Way for the Opening of the State Campaign in This City— Maj. Warner Gets His As- signmsnts and Leaves for Grundy County—Opening Headquarters. This afternoon there was a conference at the Laclede Hotel between Chairman C. C. Maflitt, representing the State Democratic Committee, Dr. Frank J. Lutz, John H. Stansburg and William F. Haney of the City Committee and President Marcus Bern- heimer and Secretary Will J. Hanley of the Business Men’s Democratic Association to arrange the preliminaries for the opening of the State campaign. President Bernhelmer said that the Dem- ocrats of St. Louls owed it to themselves and the city to see that the opening meeting of the campaign was a grand success. ‘‘The Executive Committee of the State Dem- ocratic Organization has assigned us this honorg’’ he said, ‘‘and we must make it the grandest Democratic demonstra- tion ever seen in any city outside ofNew York. The Business Men’s Club tis enthusiastic and ready to do its full share.’’ ‘“‘That’s the way to talk,’’ said Chairman Maffitt. ‘**The State Committee Is with you, and sois Dr. Lutz and the City Central Com- mittee.’’ Dr. Lutz said thatthe City Com- mittee wanted the business men to get out and help make a big success of the meeting. ‘‘Understand,’’ he said, ‘‘we want you men of mercantile pursuits to give a good share of your atten- tion in the glorious battle against menanda party which seeksto minimize the wea!th, influence and importance of ourState. The City Committee gladly welcOme the volunteer service of the Dusiness men. Wewilll work with youand doanything we can to help youinthis matter.’’ Before the conference closed President Bernheimer as- sured the State and City Committee repre- sentatives that the Democratic merchants wpuld be out in full force ready and willing to cheer and support everything Democratic. People’s Party News. The People’s party headquarters presented quite a lively appearance this morning. Mrs. Marion Todd, the evangelist, arrived this morning, as did also Mr. M. V. Car- rol, Chairman of the State Com- mittee. When a Post-DISPATCH reporter en- tered the headquarters this morning, Chair- man Taubeneck and Secretary J. H. Turner were entertaining their visitors by discussing the political situation in Alabama. Mr. Taubeneck claims that Kolb, while defeated by Jones for Governor, has good cause to contest the election as some counties in tbe state gave Jones a majority of over one thousand, when not that many votes were polled by both can- didates. Mr. Taubeneck states that while Kolb was nota People’s party candidate, he represented the principles of the party and that the fraudulent manner in which this election wascarried on will be again at- tempted at the general election to defeat any and all candidates that the ’eople’s party see fit to put up. eo oS a Le he, ‘‘you will see some fun, as we have turned our attontion to that State and we are determined that the negro vote shall not be counted unless they cast their votes.’’ M. C. Rankin, Treasurer of the National Executive Committee, will arrive to-morrow from Terre Haute, Ind., and on Monday morning all the preliminary arrangements will be perfected for the entertainment of the committee that meets at the Richelieu Monday evening.

' The Democratic Executive Committee took a recess last evening until next week. Be- fore this was done it was decided to formally open the campaign. in this city on the 25th inst.

REMORSE FOR HER SIN. Reason for Mrs. Maloney’s Suicide Brought Out at the Inquest. Michael Maloney, the saloon-keeper and politician whose wife,. Polly, committed suicide Tnursday afternoon by throwing her- self intothe river, testified yesterday after- noon at the inquest that his wife had been seduced by a friend named George Smith, whom he had befriended, Smith, Maloney said, came to him last winter without a cent in his pocket or a place tolay his head, and he took him in, fed andclothed him and allowed him to work behind his bar for his board. Maloney was keep Fleventh and Lucas 1385 Lucas avenue. ng a saloon then at venue, but removed to He got to drinking heavily and was sent to_ the _ hos- pital a week ago Thursday. When he came back from the hospital last Monday Maloney said he noticed his wite acted queer. At times she would be un- naturally gay, and again she would be morose, fretiul and. ill-tempered. On Tues- day night he began to suspect her with having improper’ relations with Smith. Hesaw Smith he stated hold- ing up two fingers to his wife, It was Ma- loney’s all-night watch, and when Smith left the saloon Maloney commissioned Tom Durang, a friend,to watch him, Durang came back and said he had lost sight of Smith. Shortly before 2 o’clock in the morning Maloney, becoming restless, left the saloon and wandered aimlessly about until he was in front of the Hotel Emory. tie heard the clock strike twoand a moment later a man entered the hotel whom he stated he recognizedas Smith. Maloney re- turned’ to the saloon and told Durang of the affair and Durang reminded him of Smith’s holding up two fingers to Mrs. Maloney, and that he must have meant for her to meet him at the hotel at 2 o’clock. Maloney said he got a dirk knife and went back to the hotel resolved to kill them both. He waited, he Said, until he saw them come out of the hotel together and separate. He was too agitated, he said, to make up his mind what to do un- til they had gone. When he found his wife he said he charged her with the deed. She at first denied, he said, and then. he stated, confessed all. He showed her the knife with which he had intended to kill her and Smith, he sald, and she wept and begged him for the sake of the babe’s good nameto forego re- venge. He loved her he said, and broke the knife in pieces, but vowed he would beat Smith the next time he met him which he alleges he did. His wife, Maloney stated, asked him for two quarters which he gave her, when she stooped and kissed his hand, The quarters were found on her body when taken from the river. COUNCIL AND HOUSE MEET. Sessions Held by Both Bodies This Morn- ing. It was 11:15 o’clock this morning before the House of Delegates was called to order by Speaker Ward with fifteen members present. The bill to vacate Ohio avenue between Wyandotte and Dakota streets was read the second time; also the following bills: To construct granitoid walks in Forest Park; to lease portion of wharf to st.

PA LR OS FOL ate om 2 ate THEY'RE AFTER JIM Explanation Given of the Poor-House Investigation. - “PUSH” LEADERS SAID TO BE AFTER SECRETARY BRENNAN’S SCALP. Thus Far the Committee Has Been Disap- pointed in Bringing Out Evidence Dis- creditable to Brennan—No Money Paid by Supt. Gallagher to Councilmen— Yesterday’s Proceedings. Public curlosity has been aroused consid- erably since the publication of the state of affairs prevailing at the Poor-house to as- certain why it was that Jim Croninand bther members who have been s0 con- spicuously . identified with the **push’’ should take this means of revealing a condition of things out there which refiects very heavily on the Mayor and his favored band of foll owers. It is quite evident tha the committee is after somebody else’s scalp besides that of Supt. Gallagher. They have brought out in the testimony given so far that the money paid Gallagher by Clerk Bourdon was not intended for city Council- men and would fain have induced Mrs. Bourdon to have given the name of the offi- cial sought to be branded. It is Known in City Hall circles that certain members of the ‘‘push’’ have soured greatly on the Mayor’s secretary of late and some of them do not hesitate to say that Jim Brennan Was the man they started outto nail to the post when the investigation was first spoken ofand begun. So far it seems the committee has failed, but this nevertheless supplies the motive for the investigation. YESTERDAY’S SESSION. The special Poor-house lavestigating Com- mittee of the House of Delegates resumed the taking of testimony yesterday afternoon. Only two witmMesses were examined, Mrs. Bourdon, the wife of Chief Glerk Bourdon, and Miss Mansfield, a stepdaughter of Mrs. Bourdon. It was hoped to ascertain from Mrs. Bourdon’s testimony the nameor names of theparties to whom Gallagher said he wished to give the $700 he: borrowed from Bourdon, She was examined by Chairman Cronin,and when asked to state what she knew of the loan of $700 by her husband to Gallagher, she said: **I Know that my husband loaned Mr. Gal- lagher $700 shortly after he was confirmed. It Wasaday or two after and the loan was made without security, My husband regret- ted very much afterwards that he had made the loan.’’ **Was it returned to him?’’ **Yes sir; it was returned about a monthor $0 ago.’’ **Did Mr. Gallagher say or do you know to whom that $700 was to be paid?’’ **My husband has requested me not to an- swer any question like that. I won’t mention any names.’’ Mrs. Bourdon also testified that she had heard her husband say that he had to pay Gallagher $200 to hold his position, and she knew that he had paid him $40 of it, and ex- pected to continue the payment of it in $40 installments until the full amount was pald, NOT TO COUNCILMEN. To whom was this money to go?’’ **Il won’t say.’’ **To city Councilmen?’’ **‘No,dt was not to gotocity Councilmen. I won’t mentionany names. Mr. Gallagher’s son was present at the time the money was paid and Mr. Gallagher did not want him to know anything about the deal. ’’ ’ **Did Gallagher want any of the money he got from your husband to use in his business or pay his debts?’’ **No, sir, he did not. He did not say he wanted it for any purpose of that kind.’’ Miss Mansfield was then called, but nothing hew was elicited. She had heardthe matter talked over by her father and mother and she had heard Mrs. Gallagher ask Mrs. Bourdon if her nusband would loan Mr. Gal- lagher $700. She also refused to give any names men- tioned in conversations she had overheard. Delegate Grimley was then authorized as a Special committee to bring in supt. Gal- lagher again. After’a lohg wait he came back and said Mr. Gallagher absolutely re- fused to come before the committee again. An adjournment was then taken until 10 o’clock Monday morning,’ when Dr. Brennan will be exainined and the investigation closed. A report is to be made at once. CHARITY COMMISSIONERS MEET. They Decide to Start Another Poor-House Investigation. . The Board of Commissioners on Charitable Institutions held a meeting at 11 o’clock this morning in the committee room of the City Council. Allthe members were present and President Simon A. Bass presided. Reports of allthe committees were heard and among other matters it was resolved to recommend to the City Council that the pres- ent unoccupied portion of the jail which was formerly used asan infirmary for the pris- oners be set asidein the future for the female and juvenile prisoners. At present the fe- males have noexercise space and this would provide it for them. After discussing in an informal manner the affairs of the House of Refuge, the Work- house and Insane Asylum, Mr. Bass said that he thought it wasthe duty of the board to take notice of the condition of affairs prevall- ing atthe Poor-house as published in the daily papers. On motion the following reso- lution was adopted after the matter had been fully discussed. Resolved, that this board proceed to investigate the management of the Poor-house, that it meet on Monday next at 3 p. m. and that Mr. Gallagher, the Superintendent, and Mr. Bourdon, the clerk, be notified to be present at that time; that the Super- intendent be notified to produce the books showing the fuli force of employes and also a separate list containing the namé and address of each employe, the date that each was employed and the amount of salary paid each. In connection with the proposed investiga- tion, Mr. Bass said that the board would ae) fully into the management and conduct of the officials irrespective of what has been done by the House of Delegates Committee. Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Bourdon nave been summoned to appear Monday afternoon, and the investigation will be conducted in the ro amma of the Council at the City A FAVORABLE OUTLOOK. Reports Received To-Day in Regard to the Corn Crop. The prospects in the corn belt are much more favorable than they were a week or ten days ago, judging from the reports received by dealers on the Merchants’ Exchange. Inthe district that was flooded the = growing corn has been great! benefited by the warm weather, and is muc further advanced than it appeared likely that it would be.- The crop of ordinary corn that was planted after the floods has thriven re- markably, and unless unusually early frosts should get in, will prove a success, some uarters the quick growing corn is In some danger of suffering from lack of water, but the area so threatened ts small, and a few showers will be ail that is required to pre- vent loss from this cause. The prospects for very ate receipts this fallare regarded as ex whicb is particularly enco in view of the heavy foreign demand. —— To Take Depositions. Attorney Arba N.

Happy on the west bank of the creek, between Broadway and the bridge approach. The inhabitants are shiftless negroes, among them some of the most dis- reputable characters in the city. It is claimed by the police that it is in some respects as baa if not worse than the lowest quar- ters in St. Louis. Respectable people who are forced to pass through the place are subject at all times to annoyance and insult at the hands of the brazen bueks aud shameless wenches who frequent the Hollow. Though they have often raided the place the police have never been able to successfully clear t or tits disreputable inhabitants, but itis stated that last night’s raid was the inaug- uration ofa pertes war on the place that will be kept up until the identity of the disreputable **Hollow’’ is lost. The lice claim that the owners of the shanties or their agents are mainly responsible for the nuisance, as they rent the houses to any and every applicant without discrimination. As the buildings are old, tumble- down airs none but the lowest classes will occupy them, while if they were keptin decent repair they could be rented tore- spectable people. Sergt. Bowler characterizes the ollow asa disgrace to the city, and claims the shanties should be removed.

Morrison was impressed witii the idea that with time and patience the ascent could he accomplished, and probably zreat ald might given to those who are studying the habitg of the ancient races which left so many signs of their civiiization in this country. He beyvan on the south side of the cliffand’ Starteti to cut steps in the stone and soil in orderto makea meansof ascent. He care- fully examined every portion of the cliff and decided upon his route, and since then he has applica himself with the Sa yoo industry to his set purpose. He has suc- ceeded, and now has the satisfaction of hay- ing acco: plished that Which has been set down as an impossibility. It taok tin just eiguty-three days to tray- erse the 350 feet from the base to the summit. and there he found that his iabors were wel ell repaid, forhe foundthe housesof the cliff dwellers intact, just as they had been left when some great convulsion of nature had torn away a part of the ridge and left the Im- mense heads standing tn the air. There were seventeen houses foundin va- rious parts of the cliff, most of them being on the extieine summit and invisibie from the plains below. in these houses he found not only the utensils used by the former occue pants, but found evidence that when the con- vuision spoken of occurrred many of the In- babitants of the place were on thetop, and either were Kiiieu or dled of starvation from being cat ojf from all suppiles. The houses were exacily alike, being ballt of stone and adobe bricks, one-storied with Irom one tothree rooms, In each them were iound numerous bowls and other earthenware vessels, wiilie in one was found. a sealed jar which contained a lotofcorn, | The gruin Was hard ¢ firm, and if it bad been placed in ihe jar within a weer ‘ihe jar, being aimost hermetically seal bad kept fp good condition the corn, w otherwise would have rotted.

Hutter—The market has been in a healthy and most satisfactory condition, yet the advances estab- lished in Elgin jately have not influenced prices to any extent. Good table butter has sold fairly well. Dairy has been scarce and the supply is diminishing right along, as most dairies are now giving their mitk to the ereameries. Medium and low grades have kept well cleaned up and continue to be 1n de- mand for shipment. Owing to the recent hot weather most of the butter received was not up to the usual quality.

Sandoval, the revolutionist leader, scouts the idea of Texas Geputy marshals arresting Catarino Garza. The‘ actual condition of Mexico is one of financial embarrassment, he says. Gen., Diaz’ lack of knowledge of governing the country has led tothiscrisis, He mortgaged the future of Mexico to the extent of $300,000, - 000 for the purpose of building railroads, and now these roads by their* exorbitant rates have killed the prosperity of the country. The national treasury has not the money to pay the interest on the ratlroad bonds for the coming year, and to cover this deficiency it Is proposed to floata loan of $20,000,000. Desti- tution is universalin the country. The de- moralization in the official atmosphere is such that last week Senor Remero, recently nominated Minister of the Treasury, de- clared officially that $4,000,000 per annum might have been economized during the six- teen years in which Gen. Diaz has been in power, thatis tosay, $12,000,000 more than the railroads have cost. If the proposed $20,- 00,000 is not floated no other resource ts left but totake the money by force fromthe na- tional banksto pay the outstanding debts. The State of Zacatecas hasalready reached this stage and is forcing a loan from the people. $12.00 to Denver and Return Via Missouri Pacific Railway.
