THEY WENT BACK IN A BODY WITH THE MILITIA IN LINE, The Event Has a Depressing Effect on the Locked-Out Men at Homestead—Little Prospect of Arbitration Settling the Dispute—The Carnegie Library—More Arrests of Rioters Soon to Be Made. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 8.—Between 500 and 600men, acting unanimously, as previously agreed upon,effectually broke the strike in the Carnegie mili at Duquesne at 10’clock this morning. They returned to work ina body and the soldiers were not required to pro- tect them. The repairers had the mill ready for running, steam was turned on and several departments were started full and began to turn out finished steel. There were many members of the new Amalgamated lodges formed here since the strike begun among those who went back to work, and they did it openly without fear of what their companions would say. There is no disorder at all. Small crowds of the men who had not taken ad- vantage of the offer of Supt. Morrison stood near the mill gates, just outside of the line guarded by soldiers, watching the men re- turn, but they said never a word. Thejbat- talion had been drawn in marching order and was keptinline fully armed fortwo hours, but no word of command was given, Some of the most skilled among the strikers were among the number returning to work. One of them said: ‘‘We have been watching events closely, and while we would have done all we couldto help the Homestead men, we sawthat it was useless; thatthe company meant business, and that we could not win withouta struggle that would have been too hard for menthat have families. We talked this over and we are glad we took such a unanimous step.’’ The officials are well pleased with the action of the men, and all is pleasant. The news at Homestead had a depressing effect upon the strikers there, but there was . bo sign of wavering. HUNTING THEM DOWN. Secretary Lovejoy of the Carnegie Co. was askea this morning by a Press reporter what was the plan of the company toward the Homestead strikers. ‘‘We have started in on this contest of riot by law, and it will be carried to a finish,’* he said. ‘*There will be anywhere from fifty to 150 more informa- tions on murder and aggravated riot charges made against Homestead strikers before we are through withthem. Weare proceeding carefully and get only evidence to a cer- tainty before the charge is made. We mean to make no mistake;and the “Dest detect- ive skill inthe country has been engaged. We have officers of long experience at work at Homestead and the informations I make greon evidence gotton. by these men, who will be produced in court and give sworn tes- timony. There would have been more in- formations before this but for the fact that many strikers engaged in the riot have run away. Meantime, evidence against them is being gathered, and when they return in- formations will be made and they will be ar- rested. Ifthey do not come back they will be followed up untilthey are arrested and brought back for trial. w. J. Brennan, for the Amalgamated As- sociation, says the strikers do not propose to be behind the company in tne matter of prosecutions, and the riot and inciting riot charges will be made early this week against the members of the firm and the Pinkertons. Mr. Brennan states that they are waiting for information where something else may turn up. He added that association was necessary in this age and workmen must unite to hold their own against the capital. ists. He said the arbitration papers had been served on the company, but if the mem- bers of the firm decline to tdke up the issue nothing further can be done. The law is not compulsory. A SUPERINTENDENT'S STORY. Richard Nichols, night superintendent and puddle boss at the Thirty-third street mill, resigned last evening and to-day made re- port to the strikers of the operations of the mill since non-union men wentto work. He says he quit work because he was asked to do allsorts of work, for the performance of which no persons had been secured. None of the iron made by the non-union men, he says, has been worth anything, being burned and sent tothe ‘‘scrap pile.’’ He reported the company has really accomplished noth- ing, but has spent a great deal of money in attempting to run with the unskilled work- men now employed. Nichols, the strikers claim, isaspy for the company, and they say his resignation is a scheme to obtain information of their move- ments. He was not received with any vio- lent demonstrations of delight. The union mill men assert the breaking of the Duquesne strike will not affect them in any Manner, as their going outon a strike did not benefit them. Allthe strikers are hopeful and have plenty of funds. COMING OUT OF THE MILL. Asa counter to the Duquesne affair the locked out leaders at Homestead to-day say thatthe non-uniou men are deserting the Carnegie steel works by wholesale. They grecoming out singly andin pairs andin roups. Since Saturday evening considera- biy over a hunered men have deserted and have been received with open arms by the locked out men, who are in ecstacles of delight at this change inaffairs. They are more confident than ever that it will be Duta short time until the company will give in and they will be taken back by their former em- ployers and their organization recognized. One of the men who deserted this morning and put in an appearance at the Amaiga- mated Association headquarters gave the name of James Harvey of Philadelphia. Har- vey says that a majority of the skilled men now in the mill will leave just as soon as they earn enough money to take them home. The Hungarians and Itallans he $s will stay as long as the company will feed them. He says that every man in his rty was deceived as to the situation at jomestead or they would never have gone into the mill. He says that if the men in the mill could be given to understand that they woulda pot suffer at the hands of the strikers the mill would soon close down for want of men. Hesays the mill is a haven of rest for the most disreputabie looking lot of bums he ever saw. Supt. Potter said this.morning that thirty old employes returred to work this morning; that the desertions were insignificant an that everything about the works was in good gshapeto-day. The men assert that there have been no desertions from their ranks to- y. There were’about tem non-union men at Amalgamated headquarters They had left the mill, like a prison. One mechanic said that thir- teen men in his crew quit this morning and would be out when they got their money. He further asserted that 160 men went to Pitts- burg on Saturday — and only seventy- five returned this morning. A German roll turner = from ssex is among the deserters. He claimed tnat he had tosleepin his pants to prevent them stolen. One manfrom Bermuda sald me out to geta giass of beer and if he et back and tell the people how they h would quit at once. are ene y this turn in their favor and say the Duquesne matter is a standoff now. ' AS SEEN BY GOMPERS. ‘{ Mew Yore. Aug. ae + 2 es : * Gompers of the American Federation of La- bor returned from Homestead this morning. He saia he went there to see for himself just what the _peegent situation isas he did not believe all the re circulated. He said he thought the situation was able to the strikers, and he believes they will win. In speaking of the number of workers in the Carnegie milishe said: ‘‘I made as careful an investigation asI could under the circumstances, and I do not think that there are more than 1,200 at work. and of these bar y many were idie and loafing around the Continuing Mr. Gompers said that there was Very little tron or steel coming from the mills, and that more steam was being made than anything else, and that the Carnegie Co. was losing $50,000 a y. The strikers he said were still firm and determined to win. Only seven men have so far nme Be ‘ favor- the union and of these five are unskilled men. The strikers whohave been evicted from the company’s houses have all been provided for.’’ Mr. Gompers would not say whether he had pledged to the Homestead strikers the finan- cial supportgef the American Federation of Labor or not. PROPOSED ARBITRATION. / PROSPECTS NOT GOOD FOR THAT MODE OF SETTLEMENT. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 8.—The prospect. of settling troubles in the iron and steel indus- try by the peaceful and fair means of arbi- tration is not at all bright. Sub-lodges of the Amalgamated Associa- tion are still considering the question of set- tling the present dispute over the new iron scale on the plan provided in the recent reso- lution passed by the manufacturers’ com- mittee. Immediately after receiving a copy of the resolution the offictals of the National Lodge of the Amalgamated Association de- cided to put the question of arbitration to a vote. Accordingly a circular was issued from the general office of the association, which was distributed among the many sub- lod ges for consideration. | The circular was as follows: ‘‘Shall the questions at issue be arbitrated? Shall dis- cretionary authority be given the Conference Committee as to the items yetin dispute?’’ A number of lodges have already acted upon these two queries, and in most instances the first has met with summary defeat. Some few lodges, although they do not look with favor upon arbitration, have withheld their decision, but in no case have any of the lodges passed a favorable vote upon the sub- ject. Decisions from all the lodges in the as- sociation will reach the general office of the Amalgamation to-day, and the result will be reported at the conference with the manufac- turers to-morrow. In speaking of the arbitration matter one man prominent among the Amalgamated Association’s officials last evening said: **The question of settling the iron dispute b arbitration in the courts is not meeting wit universal favor. Several of the sub-lodges on the Southside, in Sharpsburg and at Youngs- town have already takena negative vote vl on the question, buta great many more will have to vote upon the subject before it is lost. One reason why arbitration is not meeting with approval is because the majority of mill workers believe the court judges are prejudiced in favor of capital. ‘*The judges exhibited their partial views when several of the leaders of the locked out men at Homestead were arrested and thrown into jail upon the charge of murder. Every- body knows that O’Donnell and Ross had to bein jail for acouple of days before they were released on bail. Look how different it was when Secretary Lovejoy and the others were arrested upon a similar charge. It might just as well be said that they never were arrested, All they had to do was to go through the formality of se- curing ball and they were out and free. The workingman in this country never had a fair show. If the Judges show partiality to cap- italists arrested on the charge of murder, why would they not exhibit favoritism if it was in their power to decide whether the workingmen shouid get good pay or the man- ufacturer pay out less money?’’ As to the Homestead trouble, while the locked-out workmen are willing to leave the question toa legal tribunal, Mr. Frick per- sists in the statement that ‘‘the company bas nothing to arbitrate.’’ CARNEGIE’S GIFT. GOING AHEAD WITHTHE BUILDING FOR THE LIBRARY. PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 8.—Chairman James B. Scottof the Carnegie Library Com- mission is going ahead with the prepara- tions for building the big art, music and knowledge building at the Schen- ley Park entrance just as if various labor organizations had not demanded that Mr. Carnegie’s gift to the city be returned to him. Mr. Scott, with Mr. Alden of Long- fellow, Harlow & Alden, the supervising architects of the proposed buildings, and Mr. Potts, the chief civil engineer of Schenley vrark, held along conference in Chief Bige- low’s office. They had before them the ground plans of the park entrance, and they finally decided upon the datum, the eleva- tion and other necessary points preparatory to beginning work onthe foundations. he first actual work toward the erection of the buildings will be done shortly. This week the ground at the park entrance isto be leveled down read for the excavations. The breaking of ground for the foundation will follow soon afterward, but owing to the recent agitation there will be no démonstra- tion atthe ground breaking as originally intended. Chairman Scott declines to talk for pub- lication about the proposition toreturn Mr. Carnegie’s gift, but he says the foundation will be at least partly built before the frost comes. LABOR NEWS. KEW YORK BUILDING TRADES’ STRIKE NEARING AN END. New YorK, Aug. 8.—The general strike of the building trades, which began two weeks ago in sympathy for the union materiai de- liverers, who had been locked out bythe Building Material Deliverers’ Association, because they refused to deliver supplies to the buildings for which the Iron League held contracts, will probably end to-day. A meeting of the Board of Walking Delegates will be held this afternoon to discuss the sit- uation and it is stated on d authority that the meeting will undoubtedly result in the delegates formally declaring the sympathy strike off. The strongest motive for declar- ing the strike off lies in the fact that the Ger- man and English Farmers’ Union yesterday determined to return to workin a body. These two organizations arethe most im- “rca em in the building trades. Their mem- rs number nearly 3,000. MINERS ON STRIKE. FAIRMONT, W. Va., Aug. 8.—Four thousand miners in this portion ofthe Monogahela Valley will go on strike to-day for the recog- nition of their labor organization. The operators declare they will close their mines permanently if necessary to win the strug- gle. Gonsiderable dissatisfaction exists amongthe union miners of the Kanawha Valley, and it is probable that the strike will extend to that section, when 10,000 men will be affected. WYOMING RUSTLERS. No Arrests Attempted From Fear of an Ambush. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Aug. 8—Dispatches re- ceived from the north are to the effect that copies of the proclamation of the President, calling on armed men to disperse, have been shot into wherever posted. This is for the most part the work of ‘‘rustler’’ sympathiz- ers. Nearly all of the men to whom the proc- lamation was directed, including especially the murderers of Deputy United States Marshall Wellman, are nolonger seen in the settlement. They are supposed to be in hid- ing or to have left_the country. The dozen special officers se m here to arrest the leading outlaws remain in Buffalo. They are advised that in searching the country they would be ambushed. The politica! leaders of the rustier district are organizing the Peo- ple’s party and will place in the fleld a State ticket headed by Joseph Hurt, a sheep grow- er, defeated for the gubernatorial nomina- tion inthe Democratic Nominating conyen- tion last week FROM THE THRONE. — =— an Queen Victoria’s Address to the Lords and Commons. BEGINNING OF THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS. Her Imperial Majesty Touched Only Upon Generalities in the Address—Both Par- ties in Fighting Trim—Troubles in Moroceo—The Deacons Again in Court —Foreign News— Briefs. Lonpon, Aug. 8.—The formalities of organ- izing the House of Commons were completed last week and this morning when the House met the members were summoned to the” House of Lords, where the speech from the throne opening the session of the Twenty- fifth Imperial Parliament of Queen Victoria was read, There was a full attendance at the real be- ginning of the struggle between the par- ties. Keir Hardie, the labor member, who has been making himself conspic- uous by his oddities of dress and behavior, was less obtrusive to-day, as he is beginning to comprehend that Is queer con- duct bas aroused general disgust instead of admiration, as he anticipated. Other labor members avoid him, and if he hadany chance of exercising influence it is utterly gone. The Conservatives did not appear at all despond- ent. They are preparing for an earnest struggle and mean rather to force the fight- ing. The Liberals, on the other hand, prefer to do as little talking as possible and push the work as rapidly as possible. The Gov- ernment address to the newly-organized Par- liament is as follows: ‘‘Wehavetoinform you, by command of Her Majesty, that the present Parliament has been assembled in obedience to the terms of Her Majesty’s proclamation of June 238, 1892, by which the late Parliament was dis- solved. Previous to that dissolution the business of the session was completed, and it is therefore not necessary that Parllament continue in session at an unusual season of the year for the transaction of financial and legislative business. Her Majesty hopes that when you meetagainat the customary sea- son you will again direct your attention to measures of social and domestic improve- ment inthe path of useful and beneficient legislation which has been so judiciously fol- lowed in previous sessions.’’ Mr. Gladstone arrived in London at ll o’clock this morning. His health has greatly improved, Shortly after his arrival he held a brief conference with the Liberal leaders. A petition has been lodged against the re- turn of Mr. Wm. Redmond (Parnellite), who was elected by a majority of 446 votes in the East Division of County Clare, defeating Mr. J. R. Cox (anti-Parnellite), who represented the division since 1885. ASIATIC CHOLERA, a OUTEREAK’ OF FANATICISM IN A PERSIAN VILLAGE. Moscow, Aug. 8.—Ten new cases of cholera have appeared here and yesterday there were seven deaths. There is no business doing at Nishni Novojord. The government officials in the country are giving the peas- ants boiled water and red wine to drink. A dispatch from Astrabad, a city of Persia, whose pestilential atmosphere has gained for it the ominous name of ‘‘City of the Plague,’’ says that the Mollans, or priests, whose in- fluence with the populace is very powerful, have preached that the outbreak of cholera is due to the sale of alcoholic Nquors. Their language excited the populace to frenzy. Mobs gathered in the vicinity of the mosques, and determined to take summary steps to abolish the liquor traffic. Ralds were forthwith made upon the dram shops, which were plundered. The mob Gestroyed the goods ofa number of Armenian traders who are Russian subjects. The Russian Con- sul, fearing that the trouble would grow,and that he might beattacked, telegraphed toSt. Petersburg for assistance. The Government at once gave orders for the dispatch of twenty-five mounted Cossacks, who have arrived at Astrabad, where they are guard- ing the Consulate. Thecityis situated ona small stream that flows into Astrabad, which opens into the Caspian Sea, and a Russian gunboat has ascended this strram and is now anchored off Astrabad. The Russian Legation at Teheran, the Cap- ital of Persia, was informed of the work of the mob, and M. De Busowe, the Russian Minister, has demanded compensation for the riotous acts of the populace. The Shah of Persia, whois making atour of the provinces, has been informed of the outbreak of cholera in Teheran andhe will immediately return to that city. THE COILS TIGHTENING, TESTIMONY IN THE THOMAS NEILL CREAM POISONING CASE. LONDON, Aug. 8.—The Countess Russell was a witness to-day in the examination of Thomas Neill Cream, alias Thomas Beill, ac- cused of the murder of Matilda Clover by poisoning with strychnine. The Countess Russell was examined by Mr. Gill. **At the end of the last year were you stopping at the Saverie Hotel?’’ ‘*Yes, Iwas therein September. I remem- ber the letter by post which I opened and read. I do not know whether it was ad- dressed to the Saverie Hotel, but it reached me there, I showed the letterto Mr. George Lewis and sent it to Scotiand Yard.’’ **In that letter was your husband accused of the murder of a woman named Clover?’’ ‘‘Yes. Anaddress in Lambeth road was mentioned. Icannot say that the accusa- tion was that my husband had poisoned the woman by strychnine, but by some kind of poison. The woman’s name was Matilda. The writer of the letter offered to assist me in obtaining a divorce and said that he would have my husband hanged for the murder of Matilda Clover.’’ Thomas “Stevenson, M. D., lecturer on jurisprudence at Guy’s Hospital and one of the analysts to the Home Office, testified that he conducted an analysis on the body of the woman, Clover, onthe order of the Treasury and had drawn upa report. The document was read. After enumerating the steps to identify the body on exhumation it declarea that strychnine was found in the stomach, liver, chestand brain andin the fluid; and that a frog was killed with the poison so ob- tained, exhibiting all the symptoms of strychnine poisoning. ‘‘The amount of strychnine which I obtained,’’ the doctor concluded, ‘‘points to the administration ofa fatal dose of strychnine.’’ Dr. Stevenson added that any portion of the strychnine unabsorbed would remain in the stomach. Mr. Gill then read over the evidences which described the condition in which Clover was found on the morning of her Geath and the symptoms which she displayed and asked witness whether these were consistent with strych- nine poisoning. Witness: ‘‘Not only are these consistent with, but they point to strychnine poisoning. The symptoms were not those of delirium tremens, but of tetanic convulsions follow- — ing on strychnine poisoning. In poisoning by strychnine these convulsive attac«s usu- ally continue up t® the time of death. Dur- ing the interval the person might be con- scious and capable. of conveying any state- ment she desired to make. Persons in this state are generally apprehensive of death and think they are going to die before the first convulsion.’’ **And the fact that Olover asked for her child, as she thought she was going to dle, Is consistent with the idea?’’ **Quite so.’’ *‘‘What quantity death?’’ **The smallest isabout half.a grain. One grain is usually a fatal dose.’’ “Does the length of time before death en- sues differ in certain cases?’ ; **Yes, it depends upon how the poison 1s taken. In pills or capsules the action woulda of course be retarded, but I should ‘expect Symptoms in an hour, assuming that the poison was taken in a fatal dose. Exception- ally longer time has elapsed. It would als be regulated by the condition of thestomach. The tincture of nux vomica contains less than half a grain to the liquid ounce. There would be sufficient strychnine in two ounces of the tincture of nux vomica to make a fatal dose,.’’ “ TROUBLE IN MOROCCO. THE SULTAN’S TROOPS DEFEATED AND THE REBELS ADVANCING. TANGIER, Aug. 8.—The Sultan’s troops have not met with success intheir plan to exter- minate the rebellious Angherites. The rebels led by Hammon, the chief whom they chose for themselves in place of the Basha whom they drove out, have defeated the troops of the Sultan, and the latter are now retreating upon Tangter with the insurgents in persuit. Great alarm prevails here in con- sequence, and the Kuropeans living along the sbore outside the town are coming into the city for safety. The telegraph steamer Mirror threw an electric search light upon the town last night. There is some appre- hension that the insurgents may attack Fort Gandoril, where the English and Spanish cables are moored. The Europeans in Tan- gier are organizing for defense in case the rebels attack the town. Matters in Morocco have been in a tur- bulent condition for some ‘time past. In November last news reached Tangier from Fez, the principa! city of the country and its real capital,. that ailthe Morocco ministers and court had been dismissed in disgrace. Among the fallen was Mulai Ismain, the Sul- tan’s favorite brother. He for several years held the Khalitaship of his brother—that is tosay, he formed a sort of supreme court of appeal to whom all cases already decided by the local Governors could be re- ferred. Excepting the Sultan and the va- rious heads of the Sheerifian families, the Khalifa was the only man from whom the nobility of Morocco thought they could ac- cept judgment without derogation. No rea- son was known for his disgrace, but it was thought it-was the result ofa court intrigue. He had many friends among the upper classes and among the tribesmen, and it may be his dismissal is the cause of the present trouble. It was said by some of the natives at the time of his exilefrom Fez that Mulal Ismain was the instigator of a plot to depose his brother and to take the throne nimself. This affords a basis fora conjecture that the rebellion now, in progress may perhaps be an attempt to carry out the plans of the alleged conspirators. =) Another cause of the present uprising les in the fact that Sultan Muley Hassan refused to remove the Basha whom the people of the rebellious district have deposed. He had long robbed them by extortionate taxation. Tangier is surrounded by walls and ts pro- tected by several forts, but none of these de- fenses are modern and will offer poor re- sistance to threatened invasion. is sufficient to cause GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. ABEILLE’S SLAYER BRINGS SUIT AGAINST HIS FORMER WIFE. PARIS, Aug. 8.—The case of Edwara Parker Deacon against his wife, whom he accuses of adultery with M. Abelille, has been postponed until October. The public prosecutor has refused to intervene in the case, saying that Mr. Deacon had better lay the affair before the court himsey , The Attorney-General alleges that ther’ .d not sufficient ground to presume adultery. The question was not submitted at the trial of Mr, Deacon at Nice, which resulted in a verdict of guilty against Mr. Deacon for killing M. Abeille, whom he caught in his wife’s room at the Hotel Ssplen- dide at Cannes and his sentence to one year imprisonment. Mr. Deacon, it will be re- called, declared that he would take no action against his wife under the French criminal law, contenting himself with procuring a divorce from her. He had taken the children from his wife’s custody and it was her at- tempt to regain possession of them by legal means that caused Mr, Deacon to change his mind andled him to institute proceedings against his wife for adultery. AGREED TO ARBITRATE. VALPARAISO, Aug. 8.—Chili has decided to grant the request of the Government of the United States to appoint commissioners to sit at Washington and act conjointly with the commissioners appointed by the United States to arbitrate all American claims against Chili..

THE MISSOURI DESPERADO SHOT DEAD WHILE RESISTING ARREST. A Criminal History Which. Has Few Parallels—More Than a Score of Mur- ders Charged to His Account—Details of; Saturday Night’s Tragedy in the Granby Saloon—Hudson’s Record. JOPLIN, Mo., Aug. 8.—The career of George Hudson,the notorious murderer and despera- do came to a sudden end Saturday night. He was shot dead in his saloon at Granby while resisting arrest, for the murder ofanold man named Shulz, who Hudson waylaid and robbed of $1,700 in Granite. Pass Colo., in 1879, Hudson had been recently acquitted at Rolla, Mo., of the charge of murdering Dr. L, How- ard on the night of Sept. 16, 1886, and had sworn vengence on those who appeared as witnesses against him, and several of them would make his words their property and left ‘ In order to rid the country of him, an investigation into his past his- tory resulted in revealing.his connection with the murder of Schulz. A Warrant was issued by Gov. Francis, upon a ftrequisition of the Governor of Colorado. Armed with the warrant Carl Stout, a police officer of this city, and four other special officers, with William Raboden, went to Granby and un- dertook to arrest Hudsohin his saloon. He resisted and wasshot dead, Raboden firing one shot, striking himinthe head. Stout’s revolver was Gischarged while Hudson was trying to get possession of it, the ball passing through Hudson’s heart. The officers arrived at Joplin at daylight Sunday morning and left immediately for Neosho and reported the killing to the Coro- ner of Newton County aud exhibited the writ authorizing Hudson’s arrest. The Coroner went to Granby Sunday, impaneled a jury. and, after viewing the body, adjourned the holding of the inquest untilto-day. It is now in progress at Neosho and Officers Stout and Robedom and the members of their posse are allin attendance as witnesses. DETAILS OF THE KILLING. The killing of Hudson was necessary; he refused to be taken alive, The warrant for his arrest was directed to Carl Stout, a police officer of Joplin. Willlam Robedom was the messenger who brought the requisition for Hudson from Colorado. Stoutand his posse left Joplin Saturday evening and rode into Granby about 9 o’clock, There was the usual Saturday night crowd in town and the poss separated to wait un- til the people got out the main street of the little town. Two members of the posse went to Hudson’s saloon, bought some beer and went away. About 10 o’cloék the people having thinned out, Stout and Robodom went tothe saloon, and while the others of the posse posted themselves near-by, Stout ana Robedom were not recognized by Hudson and they put him off his guard by telling him they were out on acampingand fishing excursion and had come to Granby for supplies, Hudson’s bartender.left the saloon about 10:30 o’clock and a half hour later Iludson said he would close up for the'night. The officers followed him into the saloon and }j, called for a. bottle of.beer, Hudson turned around and took a bottle from the ice-box, and when he faced about Stout had him covy- ered witha revolvers He exhibited’the war- rant at the same time and called upon Hud- son to surrender. : With the exclamation, ‘‘Not by a —— sight!’’ Hudson threw himself upon Stout. Grasping the revolver with his left hand he turned the muzzle down and struck Stout a heavy blow with the bottle of beer. Stout was dazed, but he held to his man, and Robedom, leveling his revolver, fired, the bullet crashing through Hudson’s brain. Stout firea his revolver twice as he fell to the floor with Hudson, and both Dalls took effect in Hudson’s breast. The lights in the saloon went out when the shooting began and the officers carried Hud- son out into the moonlight. Finding that he was dead they laid him down and after waiting for half an hour for thetown au- thorities to putin an appearance they rode back to Joplin. ; THE DESPERADO’S CAREER. The killing of Hudson removes a shadow from the lives of more than a score of men in Southwest Missouri. In dread of him several men have left the State, and those against whom he had sworn vengeance if they dared to brave his anger have not since the kKolla trial Known what it was to sleep soundly or even pass along the the public highways in security. Such has been the terror inspired by the desperado and his followers. iudson had achieved no- toriety in four States as a desperado and bad man generally. There has scarcely been a time for the past twenty years when his name was noton the criminal docket, and for several years he was a fugitive from justice. The Hudson family came to Granby afew years afterthe war. The father, C. C. Hudson, had been a Sheriff in Mississippl, and was a defaulter. He was trailed to Granby and arrested. He managed to escape from the officer and fled tothe Indian Territory, where he remained a refugee until the matter died out. George Hudson, then a mere youth, had assassinated a negro vefore the family left Mississippi. After locat ing in Granby, then a rough mining town, he soon became notorious by using the revolver in a quarrel with a German shoemaker because the latter insisted on his pay before the work left his shop. The shoemaker was shot through the leg. Hudson was indicted for felonious as- sault. While the trial was pending efforts were made to induce the shoemaker to avan- don the prosecution, but the German could not be bought off. One night he was called to his door and shot dead. Hudson was in- dicted for murder, but before the case came to trial the State’s witness had disappeared through intimidation, and the prisoner was discharged, From that time forward Hudson exercised a reign of terrorinthe community, Desper- ate men looked uptohim asaleader, and law-abiding people let crime pass without attempt at legal redress through fear of bringing upon their own heads the fll-will of the gang. This was feit sometimes by open assault, but oftener by the incendiary torch or other destruction of property by night. Hudson was a diplomate and strengthened his fortifications by ‘‘doing jobs’’ for people in the higher walks of life who desired an iIn- strument for nag pe gems | desperate ends, His next noted deed was.shooting a Dutch- man ina saloon row in Neosho. For this he was indicted, but through friends was re- leased on bond. THE WEBB CITY RIOT. It was while this case was in the courts that the Webb City riot occurred. This was in 1876. One ofthe party had been arrested in Webb City for digorderly conduct. To avenge themselves the gang, mounted and armed with Winchester rifles and revolvers rode through the streets yelling and firing at any person In sight. Two men were shot in, thisraid. The next day Hudson surrendered to the Sheriff of Newton County, torelieve his ndsmen in the shooting case pendin at Neosho, and escaped, i J the assistance o Bud Blunt, from the Sheriff. He was next heard from at Leadville, Colo., where, with Bud Blunt, oneof his companions in the riot and other crimes, he was impll- cated in stealing a lar were also wanted for } | morrow mornin control and as ad rado, then b nish- ment udson ever since. TWO MORE ADDED TO THE LIST. In 1884 Hudson killed N. O. Tabor and John Goodykoontz, in Granby. In the fight Hud- son received two wounds, one in the faceand one in the neck. Some time previous to the shooting the Post-office in Granby was broken intaand the safe blown open. oodykoontz was Postmaster at the time, and had charged Hudson with the crime. Goodykoontgz after- wards moved to Neosho, and onthe day on which he was killed had gone to Granby on business. Hudson sought a quarrel under favorable surroundings and killed Goody- koontz.. Tabor came to assist Goody- koontz and was shot to death. Hudson, through a peculiar influence that he was able to exert over the jury, was acquitted on the rounds of self-defense. For years Granb ad been notorious for cattle stealing, an as a point for reclaiming stolen horses where a reward had been offered. The horses were always ‘‘found secreted in the timber’’ by some member ofthe Hudson family. These petty crimes were so frequent that they | ceased to attract comment. They were at- tributed to one source, but no one had the temerity to incur the displeasure of the Hud- sons by atvomnp Sng ous investigation. Then came the Howard assassination on Sept. 5, 1886, on the streets of Joplin. Dr. . G. Howard was shot and killed while walking with a friend, Dr.* E. D. Porter about 7 o’clock In the evening on Main street, while the sidewalks were thronged with pedestrians. Notwithstanding this the as- sassin made his escape, and it was for a long time asserted that not a man in the neigh- borhood would be able to identify him if caught. The ball passed throngh Howard’s head and cut through Mr. Porter’s hair. The ball was fired from a point near the corner of the Young building and probably from within two or three feet of the victim. For some time after the murder public opinion was quiescent, because it was the current belief tnat the act was that ofa wronged husband and the doctor had got what he deserved. It was also thought by some that the husband would give himgelf ap and stand his trial. But subsequent events puta different face onthe matter. Thecon- clusion became Irresistible that the deed was committed by a hired assassin and soon Hud- son’s name was passed about as that of the ilty man. He was arrested last June, upon an affidavit sworn to by Sheriff Purcell, by Marshall Cobe, who went with a posse to roe and captured him with some diffi- culty. ‘ For many months prior to the assassina- tion the dapper doctor’s escapades had been the taik ofthe town. He was aclever fellow, smooth-tongued and tactful, and seemed to possess a strange influence over women when he chose to exertit. More than one husband, so it is said, often wished him dead, and one at least, it is freely charged, had a hand in his taking off. The trial of Hudson for this crime at Rolla last February and the dramatic incidents with which the case was laden are still fresh in the public mind, as every detail was fully reported in the Post-DIsPATCH. The name ofa member of a prominent St. Louls family had been connected with the case, and at one time it was thought that a bong slumbering scandal would be fully uncovere during the trial, but this feature of the case did not come out. Hudson was acquitted and returned to Granby, vowing to ‘‘get even?’ with the men who had placed his Iife in Jeopardy. FIRES. Five Business Houses andan Amuse- ment Hall Burned. BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 8.—Fire broke out this morning in the furniture factory of Chatterton & Co., No. 13 South Frederick street. The fire had gained great headway before the engines arrived on account of the failure of several alarm boxes to work prop- erly. The inflammable nature of the con- tents of the building caused a rapid spread of the flames. At 8:30 o’clock, the Merchants, Nohe Brass Works, Greene & Co.’s machine shops, R. Oppen- heimer’s solder factory,and Schlegel’s Or- chestrion Hall were abiaze. The fire worked its way rapidly to the rear and at one time it was feared the entire block would go. The damage will probably reach $200,000. INCENDIARY BLAZE. VicTORIA, British Columbia, Aug. 8.—A supposed incendiary fire started yesterday morning in the upper shops of the National Tramway & Electric Light Co., which quickly spread to the power-house adjoining, and in two hours the entire plant was completely destroyed.

CuicaGo, Ill., Aug. 8.—The ‘‘goid train’’ from San Francisco, which is carrying $20,- 000,000 of yellow boys to the National Capitol, passed through the city this morning. The cars bristled with muskets ana no one was allowed within smelling distance of the pre- cious freight. The train stopped but a few moments to procure ice water for the guards, and then the journey was resymed. The train came in over Burlington road, arriving at 8:45 o’clock this morning. It consisted of one private car, one mailcar and three express cars. The bags of coin were piled up in these three lattercars. The train was in charge of General Superintendent James F. White of Railway Mail Service, and his as-- sistants were Lewis L. Troy, mig ee paragon of the Western Division ofthe Kalilway Mail Service, and Supt. eee of Cleveland, in charge uf the £astern llway Maltil Service division. There were altogether fifty-one persons on the train, forty-five being armed guards. At each end of the cars and on the platforms sat three or four guards with Win- chesters resting across theirknees. ‘tIhere were few persons at the depot and but one or two intruders were warned off. But ten minutes were occupied in switching the train from the Burlington to the Lake Shore tracks . and then the train pulled out for Washington. None but the guards showed 1 they looked rather lazy and t jobs.

Johnson—A Wrangle Over the Admissibliity of Certain Testimony as to the Plaintiff's Character—Arguments by Attorneys—Judge Normile’s ar dence. Commissioner Arba N. Crane this morning began taking depositions in the libel suit of Judge J. C. Normile of the Criminal Court against the Post-DispaTton, Judge Normile is represented in the suit by Chester H. Krum and the Post-Dispatch by Johnson & Johnson. The Commissioner began his work to-day ‘by taking the deposition of Judge Normile himself. The examination was conducted in the Commissioner’s office, at Third and Pine, and no one was present except those immedi- ately interested in the suit. Judge Normiile was questioned by John D. Johnson. The Judge got back from a short outing at Eureka Springs, Ark.,; this morning, and after an hour in his private office at the Four Courts, went to the Commissioner’s office. Judge Normile was the first witness called to the stand. The direct examination was conducted by John D. Johnsen. When the witness was seated Judge Krum arose and said: ‘*The plaintiff gives notice to the defendant and its attorneys that at the conclusion of the taking of testimoney unaer this notice,on the part of the defendant, he will proceed to take testimony at this office, before the Special Commissioner, in accordance with the stat - utes in such case made and provide4.** JUDGE NORMILE’S EXAMINATION. The examination of Judge Normile was then proceeded with by Mr. Johnson as fol- lows: ‘*State your name, please.’’ ‘‘James ©. Normile.’’ **You are the plaintiff in the case of James C. Normile against the Joseph Pulitzer Pub- Co., recently instituted in the St, Louis ircuit Court?’’ **You are also Judge of the St. Louis Crim- inal Court?’’ *‘*lam.’’ **What is your age, Judge?’’ **] was born on the 6th of October, 1944. **State where you were born?’’ **Il was actually born in Ireland.’’ **At what place tn Ireland?’’ **That I do not know at present.’’ ‘*With whom did youcome to the United States?’’ on to by plaintiff’s counsel as being wholly immaterial. Objection sustained. ‘*What age were you when you came to the United States?’’ : action puts in issue, ifthe Court please, the reputation of tbe ey vg that reputation is to be determined y the history and antecedents of the piain- tiff; and in that connection we have a right to go into his entire history with the view of ascertaining to what extent he has been damaged by the alleged libels. Always in actions of this character it is rmissible to develop the entire Hfe of a party; besides the witnessis here as a defendant, and in this examination held under a provi- sion of the statutes it authorizes one party to an action to summon another party as awitness,and to examine him under the rules applicable to crossexamination. Ifthe “witness ison the stand as a witness inthe trial of the case, and being cross-examined, we have a right to pursue this line of exami- nation to develop the entire history of the witness for the purpose of determining his credibility. Heis not an ordinary witness. We shall make him our own wit- ness for the purpose of trial by taking this deposition. We have aright to sift his con- science to call out from him under the rules applicable every fact that may have a pos- sibie bearing upon the case and the result of the case. Itis very proper, I think, tq-fhe measure Of damages in the case. the other rule which I cited is applicabs® to it also. Your Honor is familiar with the sec- tion of the statute under wihieli we are pro- ceedin “wou ‘\ Mr, Johnson read from the statutes: Sec. 8920. Adverse party may be compelled to testify—Any party to any civilection or proceeding may compel any adyerse party or any person for whose immediate aud adverse benefit such action or roceeding is instituted, prosecuted or defended, to stify as a witness in his behalf, in the same man- ner and sub to the same rules as other witnesses; provided, t the 60 called to testify may be examined by the opposite party under the rules ap- pligable to the cross-examination of witnesses. **Now, I do not know what it may result in ; it remains to be seen; but if the witness bas been livingalife of dissipation in any way—I do not say that thai is the case—I have a right to develop it in this manner.’’ e Commissioner: ‘‘Judge Krum, I cer- tainly did not remember this clause touch- ing examination of an adverse party as if he offered himself and was being cross- examined.’’ Judge Krum: *“‘Evenif it did this question would not bea proper cross-examination of the witness in such way asthis. Inthe first place, if plaintiff in an action of slander or libel, when he comesinto court with his reputation in his hands, it isas to his gen- eral reputation, and you Cannot go into spe- cific acts for the are of showing general reputation even if it were acceded that ac- tion of this sort would bear upon the reputa- tion of the plaintiff.’’ The Commissioner sustained the objection to the question, Mr. Johnson: ‘*We will ask you to certify that question to one of the Judges of the Circuit Court.’’ The Commissioner: ‘‘Hadn’t you better, Mr. Johnson, frame a question that will be ulv inthe line of your position, and let that be ruled on, and then take the opinion of the Judge? We can certify it right upthis minute, and you be present.’’ **What was your father’s name?’’ ‘*Willtam.’*’ ‘«William Normile?’’ ‘*William, yes.’’ ‘*What was your mother’s name?’’ **Hanora.’’ : **Did you come to the United States with them?’’ ‘ **] did ’*? “~~. “What State did they locate in when they came to this country?

My official Mst gave no light on the question. It contained R. J. or KR. D. Lan- caster. The business is given after drawing to assist the Sheriff in serving the person.’’ **Was not the fact that Mr. Lancaster was a bookkeeper brought to your attention be- fore the Jury was impanelied?’’ **No, sir; the bookkeper was not named.’’ **Who was your Deputy Sheriff?’’ **Mr. Collins, Al Collins.’’ **Did he not call your attention to the fact that R. D.

Both commenced to explain. Mr.Uollins sald: ‘Mr. Lancaster calls my attention tothe fact that the middle letter of his name is not the cor- rect letteronthe stimmons,’ and he asked me to look over my list and see whether it was correct, and as Mr. Collins made the ex- planation, Mr. Lancaster put in and repeated what Mr. Collins said, I said, ‘are you the gentieman summoned in the case by the Sheriff?’ He said ‘I am.’ ‘Then asi un- derstand you, the excuse ou have to offer is that the middie initial of your name is not correct,’’ whether R. D. and should be R.J.or k.J.and should be R. D.,I do not remember, I told him to take his seat. The jury was not impanelled and in five min- utes after 1 discharged the jury until the next day. The following day I excused all that were to be excused and told the Sheriff tocall the balance of the jurors into the chairs and Mr. Lancaster was calledin.’’ **Do you remember having had a conversa- tion with Mr. Robert, then a reporter on the POSsT-DISPATCH, about the time that question came up, about the impanelment of kK.

I met Mr. Robert somewhere after the jury was discharged.’’ ‘*Don’t you remember having told Mr. Robert during that conversation that R. D. Lancaster himself told youthat his son had been served?’’ ‘*On the contrary.’’ **You say you did not say that to him?’’ **T could not have stated that without stat- ing what wes not correct, because Mr. Lan- caster when he appeared in court told meit was him that was served. I put the question to him.’’ ‘*You did not make the statement which I have stated to Mr. Robert?’’ **T could not have said that.’’ ‘*Didn’t you tell Mr. Robert also that Mr. Lancaster told — that his son was busy and that he, R. D. Lancaster, was willing and would serve in his place?’’ ‘*No, that is what I learned from Mr, Clo- ver the day the Grand-jury was discharged. Mr. Clover told me he had a conversation with Mr. Tiernanin which Mr. Tiernan stated that. That was the statement that Mr. Clo- ver gave me.

It is not a part of his duty to do anything of the kind. He had no power to do anything of the kind, or to take any action if he did it.’’ Objection sustained, Mr. Johnson: ‘‘Let me put a hypothetical question to you, Judge: I assume as a fact that Mr. RK. D. Lancaster’s son was duly drawn by the commissioner to serve on that Grand-jury; ° that he was duly served or summoned as such grand- juror; that instead of appearing in court, R. D. Lancaster, his father, appeared in court, knowing the fact that his son had been served and not he, R. D. Lancaster, and represented to you asthe presiding Judge of the court that he himself had been served with a summons. By that method orj means he was impaneled on the Grand-jury. I want to know whether under that state of tact you are of the Opinion that as the Judge of the St. Louis Criminal Court you were powerless to pun- ish—to cite Mr. Lancaster to appear and to investigate the facts and punish as for con- hints Oy if the facts were developed ona hear- ng?’’ Judge Krum: ‘‘That question ought not to be answered, in view ofthe statute.

Louis Criminal Court. We presume justification on the general issue would be an issue in the case.’’ Judge Krum: ‘‘? deny thatitis involvea under this charge at all; that they cannot, b showing this state of facts, prove any suc charge as is alleged in this petition under this count, with reference to maladministra- tion of justice.

How Francois Lost His Life and His Wife by the Same Shot. From the French of Adrien Vely, by Kate Chopin. It was night, and intensely cold. Anne- Marie, all wrapped about in her shawl, was hurrying with rapid strides toward the vil- lage. She had been engaged in sewing ata heighboring chateau, and was now hasten- ing to reach home before the hour of dinner, knowing as she did, that her husband would not willingly wait. Suddenly she was met by a young soldier, who, having recognized her, st once. Pid ii ee **Good evening, Anne-Marie?’ **Good evening, Monsieur Pierre,’’ ‘‘How pale you are,’’ he said, ‘‘and you must be frozen! Have you been working again at the Chateau?’’ **Yes, and I had forgotten the hour, I fear that it ts late.’’ **And fear, above all, to be scolded, mal- treated! Poor Anne Marie.’’ **You are mistaken, I assure you, Monsieur Pierre. Ishall be neither scolded nor mal- treated,’’ **lam not mistaken, Anne Marie. I know that your husband repays your care and de- votion with hard words. I know that you toil like a slave to support your child, forget- ful of self, whilst he muddles himself with drink.’’ **Oh, Monsieur Pierre! Believe me, yo are wrong.’’ . ‘Come, now! He beats you—the wretch! Do not deny it. I know that he has beaten you.’’ *“*Monsieur Pierre, you are cruel. Well, yes; all that you say istrue. But is it right for you to thus accuse my husband to me?’’ **How canI help it, Anne-Marie? J suffer so in Knowing your unhappiness. You are so gentle, so worthy, socourageous. I suffer so in being powerless to help you; you whom I love so well, For Ido love you, Anne-Marie. 1 love you to distraction.’’ ‘‘M. Pierre!’’ cried the young woman, affrighted, ‘‘hush—I must not listen to you, I implore you to say no more.’’ She re- treated to a neighboring tree, against which she leaned, shivering from head to foot. **Yes, Iknow,’’ said Pierre, ‘‘averything separates us, and I should not have spoken— but that was more thanI could do. I have Kept this secret closed so long in my heart, suffering in silence, Oh, I repeat it. I adore you. But you are troubled—and how youtremble. Are you angry with me? Have I offended you? Why do you not answer? You are weeping. Ah no! There isa smile through your tears! Oh, Anne-Marie, that would be too much aapprncae—t Cannot believe that you love **M. Pierre, I beg vf you!’’ murmured the young woman faintly. **Ah! you do love me. I feel it—I see it. Why try to hide it? You may yet be happy since we love each other.’’ **Monsieur Pierre,’’ replied Anne Marie avely, ‘‘you force meto speak the word hat must separate us forever. Well, yes, I love youand withall my heart. I love you because you are kind and noble; because you have always shown an interest and affec- tion for me. But I am married and lam honest. After what I Lave told you, we must never see each other again.’’ ‘*Youare right, Anne Marie. Itis better so—that we should never meet again.’’ **Monsieur Pierre, did you not hear the sound of a footstep?’’ **No; It is only the wind blowing the fallen leaves.’’ **I must make baste; itis late. day we are strangers. Good-Dby. **Good-by, Anne Marie. * as 2 * * * + - It was the night following. A freezing night. Pierre, enveloped in his large,hooded cloak, had mounted guard at the powder- mill just beyondthe town. Suddenly a man advanced toward him. **Qul-vive!’’ called Pierre. ; **How? You do not know Francols, the hus- band of your good friend?’’ **Halt orl fire!’’ **Fire on me? Comenow! But if you killed me you could never marry Anne Marie.’’ **Wretch!’’ **Oh, abuse me if you want. I have you in my power andidefy you to fire onme. I heard you both last night. It was charming —it was touching! ‘lIruly, 1 was moved to tears, andI pitied you both from my soul. What an immense favor to you two if I should disappear now—if I should die. No more obstacles, my good friends. A bullet in the head and that would end ft.’’ **My duty is to fire on you!’’ **Your duty! Now if you fired on me, my fine fellow, do youthink Anne Marie would believe you did it from duty? Would she not rather suppose your object was to be rid of me? And would she be willing to marry you under such conditions? With asingle motion you could, you ought to put an end to me, But that motion you will not make. AndlI Ihave come expressly to tell you this. me,and Anne Marie islost to you forever. Spare meand you forfeit your honor—your honor of a soldier, to which you hold more than life. What do ro say to this little re- venge? Isit not well thought out? But this is oniy the beginning, I have some pleasant surprises of the same nature in reserve. I shall see you again.’’ And while Pierre stood immovable, dumb with rage, and powerless, the scoundrel re- treated whistling. He then hastened, as was his custom to the ale-house, and in an hour’s time was stupe- fied with drink. Then there came to hima drunken, fero- cious whim, He started in the direction of his house, and once there, entered the room where Anne Marte was sleeping, and brutally laying hold of her, dragged her from her bed. ‘¢‘What is the matter!’’ cried the trembling woman still half asleep. **Dress yourself.’’ ‘‘But why?’’ sheaskedtimidly. ‘‘It is not yet morning.’’ ‘*‘Will you dress yourself?’’ and he ad- vanced upon her, enraged, with uplifted arm. Poor Anne Marie, seeing that it was useless to resist and knowing that he would beat her rather than abandon his purpose, dressed herseif paxsteey Then he seized her violently by the wrist, dragging her after him into the street. Ob. where are you taking me?’’ she moaned ‘‘Where am I taking you? You wish to know? lam taking yowto a tender rendez- yous, my sweet one. I thought you might find the time long away from your lover, Pierre; that you dreamed of him, eneee. So I concluded it would be a charity to te you both.’’ ‘‘Prancols, have pity! What do you mean todo? Oh, thisisterrible! Let me return.’’ ‘*No, no,’’ cried the wretch, hurrying her violently over the road. ‘‘He ts sad out there allalone. You must goand keep him com- pany—go and distract him. Come on.’’ When they reached the powder-mill it was midnight and the silhouette of the sentinel From to- stood out sombre and immovable. 3 ‘‘QOul-vive!’’ ‘*Come, do not get excited.

H. Davis of Sulphur Springs, M. ©. - Rankin, M. 8. Rankin of Terre Haute, Ind., Chairman H. E. Taubeneck and Secretary J. H. Turner of the National Executive Com- mittee of the People’s party met in execu- tive session at the Richelieu Hotel, at9o’clock this morning. Telegrams were received from other members of the com- mittee thatit would be impossible for them to be inattendance. After a lengthy letter had been read from George F. Gaither, & member of the committee from Alabama, assuring the members of the committee that Alabama would fallin lineat the November election and would cast her full vote for the People’s party, it was decided to send one orator from Texas and two from Georgia to assist Mr. Gaither in the campaign that he is mak- ing lone-handed and at his own expense. The remainder of the day Was consumed in discussing the political sit- uation in every State In the Union, the num- ber of Congressmen, Senators and United States Senators that could be elected and making out a campaign map for Gens. Weaver, Field, Davis and Beau- mont, who will make a tour of the United States, making eight and ten speeches in every State. The committee took a recess at 12:30 and Chairman Taube- meck was seen in regard to the result ofthe conference by a Post-DISPATCH reporter. Asked foralist of the appointments to be filled by party workers, he replied: MR. TAUBENECK NON-COMMUNICATIVE. **l can’t give them out for publication.’’ ‘*Why were not the other members of the committee here?’’ **Don’t know.’’ How long will the committee be in session and what will be accomplished?’’ **I don’t know.’’ The other members of the committee are equally as reticent, with the exception of Mr. Davis of Texas, who talked ofthe politi- cal situation of every State in the Union, from Maine to Texas, but revealed nothing | ofinterest as to what was being done by the committee. W.S. Morgan, Chairman of the Reform Press Association, will go before the com- mittee this evening, and after readinga list of the reform papers in the union, will sug- gest that certain articles be given out for ublication to their organs as campaign iterature. Dr. A. 8. Houghton ofthe National Central Committee of Seymour, Conn., will also have a hearing to-night in regard tothe establishment of a literary bureau for the purpose of distributing cam- —— literature. The committee will con- clude its laburs in the morning and adjourn at 12 o'clock. Three Congressmen in Town. Congressmen Dick Norton of the Ninth Dis- trict, Sam Byrnes of the Thirteenth and Judge Robert Wilson of the Tenth arrived in St. Louis this morning . en route to their respective homes. Mr. Norton remained in the city just long enough for breakfast and took a train for Troy, where he will meet his supporters of the district and make another canvass for the nomination. Sam Byrnes left on the St. Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern for Potosi, while Congressman Wilson remained in the city alliday at the Democratic head- quarters. Mr. Wilsonis nota condidate for re-election, and at the convegtion to be held at Mound City, on Aug. 29, Col. D. D. Burnes of St. Joseph will likely be nominated to suc- ceed him.

A Victory for Garfield Park. CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 8.—Judge Kettele this morning handed down his opinion in the cases of A. E. Fisher and F. A. Mavery, the bookmakers, who were arrestedat Gar- field Park, on atest case last week. He decided that the State law of 1887 permitting pool selling was constitutional, and that there- fore the city had no right to arrest the . bookmakers. It is considered probable that ®the club will keep right on racing, though as Mayor Washburn has refused them a license, they can be daily arrested for run- ning their place.

The planing mill strikers held their usual meeting this forenoon, The hall was crowded. There was some disappointment at the non-appearance of speakers from the Carpenters’ Brotherhood, and the boys had to rely on their own speaking talent. In- spiring addresses were made. This is the eighth week of the strike, and it was the feeling that the strikers could keep it up at east eight weeks more, During the day the Strike Committee ex- pects to hear that the Executive hoard of the Carpenters’ brotherhood has taken hold of the strike. The Carpenters’ HKoard will robably be installed this afternoon. It will hen assume Charge, in pursuance of the res- olutions adopted by the Brotherhood Conven- tion last Friuay. Not a State Inspection. Joseph M. O’Shea, Chief Grain Inspector of Missouri, said to a Post-DIsPATCH reporter to-day: ‘‘I see that Saturday’s Post-Dis- PATCH contains a statement concerning wheat Inspection in Kansas City and complaining of the wretched manner in which it is done. This faulty inspection cannot be laid at the aoor of the Grain Inspection Department of’ this State. The inspection is made by the parties interested, they claiming the right a so. aA mandamus suit is now pending to determine the rights ofthe department in the premises. In the meantime we have suspended the inspection of grain in Kansas Uity, Its unsatisfactory character is, therefore, not the tault of our department.

Marshall McDonald After the Public Stock Exchange Hard. AN ATTEMPT TO COMPEL THE ISSUANCE OF A WARRANT. Mr. Estep’s Refusal to Order Arrests on Information Filed Combatted in Court —Estep Asks for Tims to Prepare an Answer—Cut Six Times-—General Po- lice News. Marshall F.McDonald made an effort to-day to secure the arrest of the managers of the St. Louls Stock Exchange under the new anti- option law. Chief Harrigan tried to close up the place two or three times but Mr. Estep, the Assistant Prose- cuting Attorney of the Court of Criminal Cor- rection, refused in each instance to issue a warrant, and Mr. McDonald met with a like refusal last week. Sec. 19 of art. 19 of the Revised Statutes in relation to the St. Louis Courtof Criminol Correction provides that proceedings in that court shall be had by information instead of by indict- ment, and an information may be lodged, it says, by the Prosecuting Attorney or Assist- ant Prosecuting Attorney, ‘‘or by any other person.’’ Mr. McDonald made an argument before Judge Claiborne to-day to show that he or his client, Wm. Bullman, could file an information in that court and that the court must take cognizance of it and compel the defendants named in it to appear in answer to the charge preferred inthe information. Judge Claiborne said in reply that his understand- ing of the law was that ali in- formation must be approved by the prosecuting attorney of the court or his assistant, just as all indictments of the Grand-jury must be signed by the Circuit At- torpey or his assistant. Mr. Estep was presentand asked for time in which to prepare a reply to Mr. McDon- ald’sargument. Heclaimed that no infor- mation could be presented tocourt that had not been passed upon by an officer of the court. Judge Claiborne granted Mr. Estep’s re- quest and Mr. McDonald filed his information inthe form ofan affidavit signed Dy Wm. Bullman, which, however, isto be recognized by the court only in case Mr. McDonald’s view of the law is sustained. In presenting his side of the matter Mr, Mc- Donald read several provisions of the anti- option law and then described the business of the Stock Exchange to show that the con- cern was doing an illegitimate busines. One section he read, and which no attention had been paid to, he said, was sec. 3937 of art. vill, on page 932 of the Revised Statutes,which reads as follows: Sec. 3937. The judge of the court having criminal jurisdiction for the souuty or city shall give the rovisions of this article in special charge to the rrand-jury at each term of said ceurt and shall in- struct such jury to inquire into any violations of this article, Mr. Estep will probably file a brief to-mor- row or next day in reply to Mr. McDonald’s argument. Lively Fracas at Eph Houston’s, Eph Houston’s crap housein the alley be- tween Clark avenue and Spruce street and Sixth and Seventh streets, was the scene yesterday afternoon of a fight in which five or six men were hurt. ‘‘Knives and pistols were drawn,’’ said Officer Dundon in the First District Police Court this morning when relating what had occurred, ‘‘and rocks and bottles and clubs were freely used. George Franklin hit Jack Lewis with a bottle and Lewis pulled a knife on Franklin. Charley Allen also hit Franklin witha club and Jim Kelly hit Allen witha pair of brass knucks, splitting hiseye open. Allen was also struck witha pleceof granite rock by Tom Nero and I thought he’d killed him, but the rock struck himin the leg. Eph Houston split open the top of Bill Hutchinson’s head with aclub. Louis Washington was also inthe row, aS were several others, and they were all more or less hurt. Twoor three of them had their pistols out, but didn’t shoot. It took me some’ We to restore order. I had my revolver outs thought foratime that I’d have to hurt somebody myself, but they finally quietea down.’’ The officer said that the trouble was overa game ofcraps. A gang of What they call up- town niggers played against another crowd of crap-players, and each accused the other ofswindling. The men were allin the Police Courtexcept Nero this morning, but they had their cases continued to Aug. 16. Nero got away, and bas not been arrested yet. Cut in Six Places. George Couston, a light- colored darkey, and aman named Nelson Landy had a fight at 1308 Chestnut street this morning and Landy was cutin six placesin the head and face. He was taken tothe ‘ity Dispensary, where Dr. Priest dressed his wounds and he was then sent to the City Hospital. Couston made his escape and the police are still looking for him, He is 22 years old, 5 feet and 8 inches high and weighs 140 pounds. He rooms at 1304 Chestnut street and the quarrel was about a woman named Maud Banks who boards at the same place. Couston is employed at Mosel’s Hotel. Landy’s wounds are considered dangerous, some of them, though the proba- bilities are that he will recover. Juvenile Crooks. Ed McCoy and Joe Clark, the two boys ar- rested last week for holding up Fred Benig on Twelfth and St. Charles streets and taking 75 cents from him, were held for the Grand- jury. Clark was also held over on a burglary charge. Shot at a Burglar. A burglar got into Edward Collins’ house at 714 West Jefferson avenue about 3 o’clock this morning, but was frightened away before he gotanything.

After a week of hard and unremitting work the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners begin to see an adjournment possible. There remains not much to be done except to con- sider the report of the Committee on Appeals and Grievances. Some ofthe questions before this committee are interesting, and one or two involve hard and Knotty points, con- cerning which the committee may not be able to agree. Should the committee report unan- imously, their conclusions will be approved without much delay; but should the com- mittee split and refer matters to the conven- tion a debate will probably be precipitated that may keep the convention in session a couple of days longer. On the assumption of **nlain sailing,’’ however, it is believed that the convention will adjourn to-morrow—per- haps to-night. The Committee on Ritual has a ‘‘soft job.’’ They reported that no changes were desired and no changes were desirable; and their conclusions were approved by the conven- tion. The most important matter this forenoon was the adoption of a resolution favoring the opening of the Chicago Columbian Exposition on Sunday and asking Congress to reconsider its action closing the show on that day. The resolution reads as follows: To the Seventh General Conve ntion, Brotherhood Carpenters and America: Whereas, The Congress of this Un ited States in appropriating money to the Worid’s Columbian Ex- position has made it conditional that the Exposition should be closed on Sundays And whereas, The closing of said Ex positfon would throw thousands of people on the streets of the city of Chicago, thereby compelling them to seek enter- tainment of a questionable character. Aud whereas, In the effort to secure the Expo- sition the working people of that city have sub- scribed their hard-earned dollars, expecting to be able to enjoy the benefit of Sunday opeding: Therefore, resolved, that this convention, in reg- ular session assembled3 demand of Congress the re- peal of that part of said law which enforces the Sun- day closing. Resolved, That we call upon the World’s Colum- bian Exposition Directory of Chicago to use all means inits powerto keep said Exposition open, thereby keeping faith with the people from whom they have solicited and received subscriptions: and we call upon ail labor unions of our craft to use every honorable means in its a chet to compel its representatives in the House of Cor gress to vote for the opening of said World’s Columbian Exposition. And be it further resolved, That in the opinion of this convention of carpenters it will be wiser from a moral standpoint that said Exposition should be open on tunday than that strangers visiting the city of Chicago shouid be com- pelled to run the gauntiet of the numerous saloons, confidence games, brothels and gambling hells, which already, in anticipation of a large harvest, are estaolishing themselves in that city.

His preliminary trial comes off this afternoon. Thereisa = a undercurrknt talk of a lynching o-n e father MAKING BAD CLOTHES FOR THE DEAD. But in This Case an Indignant Corpse Resisted the Tailor. — A tailor of Philadelphia recently divulged the fact that the making: of dead men’s clothes was the most profitable kind of work in his business. The mortuary garments were madeina hurry and badly, the grief- stricken relatives could be overcharged and neither lining nor pockets were needed. But that tailor must be warned that such a fraud cannot always be carried on with impunity. At 6 o’clock precisely the firm of Eccles & Brown, custom-made clothiers, No. 1313 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, dismissed their clerks, preparatory to closing the estab- lishment for the night when a man’s form darkened the door, The mere fact of a man making his appearance at that hour was not Strange, it was the manner of his entrance; hecamein backward, Mr. Eccles and his cutter, Mr. Bowles, were alone at the time, But one gas jet was burning, so the large store was but dimly lighted. On came the stranger walking backwards between the piles of cloth on either side ofhim. Eccles and his catter began to laugh; incidentally Eccles was a wag, he was always ready fora one in season and out of season, so Eccles aughed. Mr. Bowles, the cutter, joined in the mirth, but the laugh died half away on their faces as if struck by a sudden frost, for the stranger on arriving at exactly thirteen feet from them, turned; his face was simply ghastly, and belonged not to the living but the dead. Eccles who was perched on a high revolving stool slipped to the floor and stood as if paralyzed. owles was the picture of consternation, and grasped his shears as if to protect himself. Then the stranger spoke: **Mr. Eccles, I presume?’’ His voice was low, but clear. *‘*Yes, Iam Mr. Eccles.’’ **You made this suit of clothes for me?’’ ‘*Well really, sir, I don’tknow. Your face is not familiar. Are you a customer of mine?’’ ‘*I was a customer—’’ **What name, please?’’ ‘*George R. Graves, 1313 Broad street.’’ Mr. Eccles turned to the leaves of his order book, which was on the desk before him. ‘*‘Let me see, Graves, Graves. Yes, here it is.’’ Then his eyes almost bulged out from their sockets, for there, written unmistak- ably in his bookkeeper’s hand, he saw ‘‘George R. Graves, corpse; one Diack cloth suit.’’ Then followed the measurements and the address, 1313 Broad street. Eccles shook as if with palsy and the cutter was in no easier frame of mind, for he distinctly remembered cutting this very suit. There was.a long pause, both men glaring at the stranger in silence. **Well!’’ finally said Graves. No answer came from their parched lips; they were simply tongue tied. **T was to have a first-class suit of clcthes. Why did you send me these?’’ Eccles found his speech with an effort. ‘*‘Why, I thougnt it would be unnecessary to—ah—to ah—sew them up perfectly, the order was for a dead man.’’ ‘*‘But there are no pockets. I must have pockets, and the fit Is atrocious. I must be measured again. ‘*Yes, sir, of course, come to-morrow at 10 o’clock. Weare about closing now.’’ **To-morrow? At 10:138to-morrowl! am to be buried. That suit must be finished to- night. Every seam properly sewed. I must have five pockets in the trousers; one fob, two hip and two on the sides. The vest, four pockets, to above and two below. The coat, four; two outside of breast and two in- side, making in all thirteen pockets—no more and no less.’’ Then taking exactly thirteen steps he mounted the measuring stool. Bowles fairly shook with fright, but as he saw Eccles take up his pen to put downthe measurements he grasped thetape and timidly began. The stranger never moved a muscle. When Bowles looked at his tape after his first measurement he could scarcely articulate, it was thirteen. ‘‘Thirteen,’’ repeated Eccles. ‘*Thirteen, echoed the stranger in his low, sepulchral voice. Again Bowles gazed with fascinated eyes upon the tape. ‘‘Thirteen,’’ murmured Bowles. ‘‘Thirteen,’’ repeated Eccles, ‘‘Thirteen,’’ repeated the stranger. But when for the third time Bowles found the number on the tape to De thirteen, a cold sweat broke out on him and the tape fell to the floor. ‘‘My God, it is thirteen,’’ he cried. ‘*Thirteen?’’ queried Eccles, turning around on his stool, ‘*Thirteen,’’ said the stranger. ‘‘Make all the rest thirteen and it will suffice.’’ Then taking thirteen steps to the dressing-room he opened the portieres and a Mr. Eccles and bis cutter, with great sighs of relief. made hasty strides for the door when ‘‘Halt!’’ was heard in an ominous and unmistakable tone. They stopped as if they had been shot. ‘‘Come take these things and begin the work, sew the seams properly, en in thirteen pockets, no more and no less, will remain here until they are finished,’’ Bowles who was nearest the portieres re- ceived them with trembling hand, and with- out a word of protest they went swiftly and silently to work. Many years had passed since Mr. John Ec- cles, ofthe firmof Eccles & Brown, had run the sewing machine, but he stitched up the back of the coat which had been merely basted—in a masterly manner—while Bowles cut out the places and lining for the thirteen pockets. As the shears finished the last piece of¢cloth witha vicious snap, once more the sepulchral voice was heard. ‘‘Thirteen pock- ets, no more and no less.’’ Thus in silence taey toiled as they had never tolled before, and the suit was finished. Bowles took it to the dressing-room. A hand reacned forthand took them in, Hardly a minute had. elapsed when the stranger stepped forth fully dressed. Walking up to Eccles he counted out thirteen silver dollars saying, I suppose you require a deposit. Send your bill for the remainder to the executors of the estate. I don’t need a receipt for this, for you will not dispute its pag rhe ae then backing towards the door he disap- peared, Without a word Eccles and his cutter closed up the store and hastened to Greene’s, where the thirteen dollars was quickly in- vested in beverage. There was nothing una- canny about the money. It isnot necessary to add that the next order for adead man’s suit of the firm of Kccles and Brown received the personal and prompt attention of Mr. Eccles himself, and on leaving the store the suit was silk-lined and handsewed and had thirteen pockets, no more and no less.

Women Were Intrusted With Them and Betrayed the Trust. From the New York Tribune. If it were possible to do so, the suspender to be withdrawn from women, Suspenders were givento them as an experiment, but like the wicked and sloth- ful servant, who digged in the earth and hid his talent, they have abused their privilege, and that it cannot De taken away. organized for mutual support and protection, as we have always held that they should be, they would not now have to stand idly by and see one of their déarest and heretofore most ex- clusive articles of dress ill-used and held up to public ridicule. When men tacitly agreed to woman’s as- sumption of the suspender last springit was with the understanding that she would wear the article as it was intended to be worn, and take good care of -it. The idea seemed to be generally received amon the unsuspecting and guileless men tha woman wanted the suspender as a step to- ward trousers, and most of the men were agreed that if she got along with it well, and rose to the occasion generally, it would no more than right that she should be allowed to try trousers next summer. But now, since man has witnessed the indignities she has heaped on the cherished suspender, we feel sure that ninety-nine men out of every hun- dred would reply to the trousers proposition with a loud and emphatic No! To realize the wisdom of our contention it seems ge necessary to take a glance at woman’s treatment of suspenders. In the first pence. she put them on outside, where no self-respecting suspenders ever were be- fore. This was a shock to the former proud possessors of these articles from which they have not yet fully recovered, and was in itself enough to show the utter un- fitness of the sex to bear suspenders. Man would not have given his consent, we are sure, had he known that she intended thus to expose them tothe public view. Then it was seen that she was making them out of all sorts of fancy material never intended by Na- ture for suspenders, and that frequently she did not cross them in the back. All well-regulated suspenders since the earliest ages have crossed in the back, or done something which has amounted ‘to the same thing; and for woman, in many cases within a month after she put on the first _: to g0 to running them me her back ike parallels of longitude, and all in plain sight, was almost too much for mascu- line patience to bear. Then came the discovery that often she fastened them with pins instead of buttons or shingle nails, as men have done for centuries. This led to the last horrible discovery that she is mak- ing no practical use of suspenders whatever but is simply wearing them for outward show. They might as well be painted on her costume. Ifa bold Jack the Investigator were to proceed up Broadway and cut every feminine suspender he saw, absolutely nothing whatever would happen. Nothing depends on the feminine suspender; itis worn simply to be flaunted in the face of helpless man, who, atthe very moment, may be desperately searching through his pockets for a shingle nail to take the place of a suspender Button which has just deserted him. No; woman can never have trousers with the consent of man; she has been tried with suspenders and has abused the trust. She would treat trousers no better. Imside of a month she would invent some outlandish way for putting them on over her head. Then she would make them of silk and velvet and trim them with ruffles and passementerie. Then in the end !t would be discovered that she had contrived a way for wearing them over a dress skirt, and that they were wholly unnecessary for her correct appearance. If woman wants to bring on civil war let her begin to abuse trousers as she is now abusing suspenders. MERCHANTS AND MANUFACTURERS. Collector’s Offce, St. Louis, Aug. 6, 1892.

The Finest Private Library to Be Sold to an American. From the St. James Gazette. For some time pastit has been rumored that the famous Althorp library, which Dib- din called the finest private collection in the world, was about to be sold, and now the an- nouncement is made upon authority. It is hoped to selliten bloc, but should that not be possible it will be put up toauction. Sell- ing the most famous ofthe world’s private libraries in a lump can mean only one thing— selling it to America. Wetrust that may not happen, since Lord Spencer’s collection con- tains many volumes which it isa national pride to possess—such, for instance, as the Blandforea wrested from the second Earl Spencer for £2,260, to be ultimately bought for Althorp for the bagatelle of £750. It will be an epoch-making sale, for this great library contains some 50,000 volumes, mostly priceless. Scarce editions on vellum and large paper, magnificent printing, and dazzling bindings by Pasdeloup and Koger Payne; these are its glories. Many of the books, too, have famous histories. They have felt the touch of the Pompadour or of Diane de Poitiers, or the elegant grasp of Francis lt. Thereare eighty-two out of the ninety-nine known productions of Caxton, to say nothing of the famous Metz Psalter, a copy of which has fetched £5,000.

From the Boston Post. The boys were suspicious that Prof. Spire had formed the habit of going up stairs every evening about 9:40 o’clock to creep along the halls in his stocking feet ond listen atthe doors. They thought, however, that his case was curable if strong measures were taken. They made their preparations and then waited in silent expectation. When Prof. Spire came out of his room and began to mount the stairs a cold galvanized carpet tack penetrated his very soul. He uttered a subdued howl of agony and sat’ down on the step above to investigate. But tacks were there also, and they began to in- vestigate before ‘he did. He rose with promptness, and this time the how! was not subdued. Doors flew open and anxious faces looked down from above. ‘*What is it?’’ weaees the professor’s pet, a ad, vdeautiful biue-eyed who scorned to do a base act. He had refused to contribute more than a cent towards rg te ° tacks. ‘‘Nothing serious,’’ replied the professor with a dismal effort at cheerfulness. ** found the wind rather against me going up these stairs and had just started on an er tack; that’s all.

I imagined I could see him move occasionally, and each time thought, ‘Now, he is going to get up.’ But he iay still, and finally I began to break branches and throw them down on him, and yelled at him untill was hoarse. It was all in vain. There he lay, and he seemed deter- mined to remain there until he starved me out. My situation began to grow desperate. Night was approaching, and already I was so stiff from my position that I could scarce move. Something must be done, and it mu be done quickly. There was but one thing to do; and that was to get out of the tree. **My rifle lay on the uppte side, and the bear was below the tree, climbed down to the lower branches, and breaking off a few of the smaller limbs, lI threw them down on the bear. He dia not move. He must be asleep, I thought, and now was mytime. Careful and nolselessly. I shinned it down the tree untilI was within six feet of the ground when I sprang off on the upper side, grab my gunand ran like a scared wolf to some rocks about fifty yards away. ‘*When safely behind the rocks I peeped out. The bear had not moved. Then I loaded my gun, and, drawing a careful bead witha dead rest over arock Ishot the brute square betweenthe eyes. Still he did not move. Again I loaded my rifle, cocked it and walked cautiously toward the bear. When close enough I picked ap a stone and struck him with it. e did not seem to mind It any. ‘*‘ThenI mustered up courage enough to approach close enoughto poke him with my gun. He was as stiff as a poker and had been dead for hours. I had been in the tree all day, treed by a dead bear! AsI said before, I was a tenderfoot then.’’ Chicago Water. From the Detroit Free Press. He was a tramp, in Chicago for the first time, having arrived from the East only that afternoon, and it was with some trepidation that he knocked at the kitchen door of an ele- gant Prairie avenue residence. **Can I get something to eat here?’’ he in- quired of the cook. ‘*Certainly,’’ was the generous reply, ‘‘I’ll give you a glass of water.’’ ‘*‘Bot I want something to eat,’’ he im- plored. : ‘*Well,’’ responded the cook, ‘‘didn’t I say I’d give you a glass of water?’’ ‘‘T can’t eat that, can1?’’ he asked plead- “i don’t know whether you can or not,’’ she said kindly; ‘‘it’s pretty bad, but I’ll give you a knife and fork with it, and may be you can handle it.

THE recent contest between Jones and Kolb in Alabama was a family Democratic row fostered by the Republicans, but the latter go too far in the row-fostering pol- icy when they endeavor to have two Democratic electoral tickets in the field.

The chance of a split does not ‘give a roseate hue to the Republican hort- sou down there. NOT EXACTLY A FAILURE. The Fifty-second Congress, which ad- journed last week, has not done all that was expected of it but the fault seems to be thatthe expectations were unreasona- bly high, not that performance was un- reasonably low. Few former Congresses have contained so many inexperienced members and no other one has been sad- died with so many responsibilities by its predecessor. Criticism has been directed chiefly against the huge appropriations, which surpass those of the Billion Dollar Reed Congress. But as a matter of fact the ‘| Reed Congress, with a singular cunning, prolonged its influence over expenditures beyond its term and survived in its conse- quences to plague its successor. The ap- propriation for pensions, amounting to more than $146,000,000, certainly was not made because the Democratic majority ap- proved such extravagance. It was made only because it was impossible to undo the work of the Fifty- Congress. The sugar bounty appropriation of $10,000,000 and that of §$9,000.000 for refunding national bank notes were also bequests from the same profligate source. Not less than $70,000, - 000 is thustraced and the responsibility fixed. Reduced by this sum the expendi- tures are not much, if any, above the ay- erage reached in honest years. Still it is true that the general ineffi- ciency of Congress is remarkable. But it must be remembered that in 1890, in many ‘*‘sure Republican’’ districts, Democratic candidates were nominated to be defeated. The party, not expecting success, put for- ward, in many cases, their weakest men, men ‘‘good enough to get beat with,’’ but not good enough to win. The victory sweptalotof untrained half-baked men into Congress who would never have been thought of by their constituents had suc- cess been dreamed of. This accounts for much that is blameworthy, but the les- son will not be lost if it teaches the people not to play with Congressional nom- inations. The unexpected should always be discounted in political affairs. i ee ee WHICH SHALL WE CHOOSE? Gen. Snowden has proved that his head is narrow enough to split a bullet, and therefore his warlike yawping curdles no blood. But Snowden represents a senti- ment and his view of a contest between laborand capital, which, unfortunately, has resulted in the spilling of blood, as evidence of a widespread disease in the body politicanda sign of the existence of a volcano of revolution and anarchy in this country, and the method of dealing with the situation which he suggests give food for serious thought. The outbreak which suggested Snowden’s gloomy predictions was caused by a dis- pute between workingmen and a corpora- tion over wages. The men he regards as fostering anarchy and treasop are toilers who have earned their bread by the sweat of their brows, and having homes and families, have as strong an interest in sus- taining law and order as their capitalistic opponents. But under a sense of wrong deep enough to lead them to fight their bread and butter, torisk the loss of their homes and the pauperizing, perhaps starvation of themselvesand their families, they were led to place themselves in tem- porary opposition to the law and its au- thority. This is the condition in which Gen. Snowden finds anarchy and treason and he calls upon the people to prepare to meet with bayonets. He would notin- quire whether there is good ground for the sore discontent and indignation which force usually law-abiding workingmen into lawlessness and violence. When the State, as it is bound to do, suppresses this outbreak and restores law and order it is not to look into the causes of it but is merely to prepare to do battle with other outbreaks andcrush with the strong arm of military power the citizens who, in protesting against injustice, are sometimes brought by the violence of their feelings into opposition to the law. When allthe points of law and right have been determined at Homestead the real question at issue is the old questi on of the relations of labor and capital under conditions in some measure new. It is up for settlement. Shall the American peo- ple settle it by revolution or reason? Shall they regard rights and privileges only and neglect wrongs? Shall they rush blindly into war, or calmly and in- telligently work for a peaceful and perma- nent conclusion of the difficulty? If the people of America, while insisting upon the preservation of law and order, apply themselves wisely and judiciously to the removal of the causes of lawlessness and disorder and thus reach a satisfactory solu- tion of the labor problem, they will confer upon mankind the greatest blessing it has yet received. If, however, the force suggestion of Snowden and his sympathizers is followed there is danger that American liberty will be impaled upon the points of peace-enforc- ing bayonets and the most magnificent at- tempt to establish free and just govern- ment the world has seen go down in blood and anarchy. THE reputation of she city government under ‘‘de push’’ is so bespattered that the dis row in which the Mayor 5 Let ys Ste a fy ‘engaged Séturday night will hardly add to RS of the gang now in control of the city and nothing can be done but to grin and béar | it untilbnext spring.

There is @ disposition in this country to look upon pleasure as a vested right of one class and it is to be feared that some hard blows will be necessary before the idea is knocked out of the head of the plutocratic lords who are trying to monopolize rights as well as privileges. ee —_ Bouivia isthe latest South American candidate for a place in the news columns.

One has only to admit the accuracy of cur- rent Republican claims to be convinced that the McKinley act should be classified not with laws but with miracles. It was passed originally to ‘‘sustain prices.’’ Fat was fried out of manufacturers on this theory, Maj. McKinley gave all his energies in one Campaign to the task of prov- ing that high prices are really a blessing somewhat disguised, and even President Harrison ventured the assertion that ‘‘a cheap coat means a cheap man.’’ Now Senator Aldrich labors earnestly to prove that the act did not increase prices, from which we assume that the ‘‘cheap-coat, cheap-man’’ idea has been relegated to the party gacret. Again the bill was designed ‘‘to reduce im- ports,’’ and there was much ado about ‘thome markets for home manufactures,’’ **America for Americans,’’ and other ex- pressions of patriotism thought to be very effective. Now the Maine Convention which renomi- nated Mr. Reed pops up with the jubilant | assertion that *‘our imports have increased to a point never before reached.’’ That miraculous is none too strongan ad- jective for the McKinley act we think no longer admits of doubt. What We Are Ooming To? From the Springfield Republican. Itis a poor excuse for lynching, but the lawyers and the law’s delays have been di- rectly responsible for two or three of such happenings lately. Two cases in California can be directly traced to the ability of skillful counsel to thwart justice by a use of tech- nicalities. Oneisthe case of two wretches who mardered a man and his wife who occu- pied a section of land which the murderers wanted to pre-empt. There was no doubdt about their guilt, but there was some excuse for setting aside the first trial and ordering a new one, of which the outcome was in doubt. The people would not wait for tho second trial, and so took these murderers out and hanged them. The other case was similar in character and ended in the same way. Undoubtedly this distrust of the courts and fear based on frequent experience, lest legal quibbles defeat justice explains—al- though it by no means justifies—the general toleration oflynchings in many parts of the country.

McGroarty, the Sixteenth Ward member of the House of Delegates, came in with a builder named or They ordered drinks and McGroarty, b took some light heavy glass. ing a temperance man, drink given him a in Mayor Noonan saw him, and having @ grievance against Hugh J. Brady, Mec- Groarty’s business partner, got up and used a very harsh expression against both members of the firm. + This angered McGroarty, and he let his glass fly at Mayor Noonan’s head, barely missing his skull, The Brennan brothers then took a hand and tried to get at McGroarty. They missed him, but one of the pair planted his fright against Sievers’ optic and sadly discolored it. Sievers, by the way, was a disinterested spectator, M’GROARTY EXPLAINS. Delegate McGroarty said to-day that he had no idea that Mayor Noonan or his rela- tives were in the saloon when he entered. ‘*I have been going in and out of Handing’s place,’’ he said, ‘‘for the past thirty years. I live only a block from there, and Saturday evening I met Mr. Sievers and invited him inside tohave a drink. Wedid not notice Noonan, but he saw us, and after he had used a most disgusting expression about my business partner he applied the saméetome. Then I threw the giass at him, andit barely grazed his head. The Brennans then rushed at us, and one of them hit Sievers.’’ Tom Brennan, one of the brothers, was at the City Hall to-day, but he had little to say about the trouble. To several of his friends of ‘‘de push’’ he said it did not amount to much. Hugh J, Brady said on ’Change to-day that he knew nothing of the affair, aside from what his partner had told him,. ‘‘Mc- Groarty,’’ he said, ‘‘isa quiet, unassuming man, who never drinks and rarely gets ex- cited. Mayor Noonan not only called mea foul name, but fired the same shot at Mc- Groarty. liscarcely know what I would have done had I been there.’’ THE SALOON-KEEPER’S STATEMENT. Henry Handing, the proprietor of the gro- cery and saloon wherein the trouble oc- curred, said to a PosTtT-DLSPATCH reporter this morning that he regretted the ‘‘little af- fair,’’ as he calied it, had attracted so much attention. "a6 amounted to noth- ing,’’ said Proprietor Handing, who is good - natured German, about 48 years of age. ‘‘For years I have kept this little business here,’’ he continued, ‘‘and I have always aimed to makeita thor- onghly respectable place. Saturday night Mayor Noonan, twoof! the Brennan boys, who are brothers of the Mayor’s Secretary, and men were here sit- table in the saloon the grocery. They were drinking bottled beer and were chatting and laughing together as though they were en- joying themselves. About 90’clock Mr. Mc- Groarty, the memberofthe House of Dele- ates for the Sixteenth Ward, came in with r. Sievers, a contractorin this partof the city. They walked up to the counter and ordered drinks. McGroarty isa total abstainer and ordered some phos-ferrone. The trouble which amounted to but little, occurred all of asudden. After serving McGroarty and his companionIturned my back, and the next instant Iheardacrash, I looked around and saw that McGroarty had thrown his glass at the Mayor’s party, but luckily he did not hit anybody. Thenlinduced Mr. McGroarty to step outside to avoid further trouble. Ido not know what remark the Mayor made to McGroarty, as I was busy at something else atthetime. McGroarty claimed, however, that the Mayor had calied him an ugly name as well as his partner, Hugh Brady. Still I did not hear it. It seems there has been some trouble between the Mayor and Mr. Brady, growing out of politics. All con- cerned are friends of mine, and I regret to see any trouble between them.’’ When asked if the Mayor was under the influence of drink, Handing said he did not think so, HEADFOREMOST IN A TREE That Is How Rosa May Alighted After Yesterday’s Aerial Flight.

Borden. Fat RIVER, Mass., Aug. 8.—The mystery deepens about the Borden crime. As the in- vestigations of the police have progressed it has become more ahd more evident to them that the murder must have been committed by some one inthe house. The result of the analysis of the stomachs of Mr, and Mrs. Borden sent to Boston to be examined has strengthened the theory that the murdered couple were poisoned before they were hacked to death. Dr. Nolan, the medical examiner, who went to the receiving vault and cut. out the kidneys and itver from each ofthe corpses says that they will be forwarded to Boston at once and will be analyzed and examined, The strengthening of the poisoning theory lends color to the belief of the police that Lizzie Borden ts implicated inthe death of her parents. This is the story of the murder as it now lies before the police: At 8 o’clock last Thursday morning, the day of the mur- der, there were in the Borden house Mr, and Mrs. Borden, Lizzie Borden, J. VY. Morse and Bridget Sullivan, the servant. Mr. Morse and Mr. Borden were in the sitting- room. Lizzie Borden had not yet come down- stairs. Bridget Sullivan was working about the kitchen and Mrs. Borden was up-stairs in the spare bed-room. About 8:45 o’clock Mr. Morse and Mr. Borden walked to the side aoor of the house, twenty-five feet from the windows of Mrs, Buffinton’s house, ‘‘Be sure and come back for dinner, John,’’ said Mr. Borden to Morse. Morse walked outof the yard and down town, while Mr, Borden went back in the sittingroom. From that time until when Bridget Sullivan, the ser- vant, rushed out of the house and across the street to Dr. Bowers at 11:10, none of the neighbors saw any one leave or enter the house, and, so far as the police can learn, no one did leave or enter, and yet when the daughter Lizzie entered the house she found the bodies of mee father and stepmother hacked almost to pleces. Hiram Harrington. a blacksmith here, is a brother-in-law of Andrew J. Borden, having married his only sister. Mr. Harrington was interviewed and said: ‘‘Ihave become acquainted with a good deal of the family history during years ast. f ‘‘Mr. Borden was an exceedingly hard man concerning money matters, determined and stubborn, and when once he got an idea nothing could change him,’’ . ‘*What do you think was the motive for the crime?’’ asked the reporter. ‘ ‘*Money, unquestionably money,’’ replied Mr. Harrington. ‘‘If Mr. sorden died he would have left something over $500,000, and all I will say is that, in my opinion, that fur- nishes the only motive and a sufficient one for the double murder. ‘*Last eveningI had along interview with Lizzie Borden, who has refusedtosee any one else. I questioned her very carefully as to her story of the crime. She was very com- posed, showed no signs of any emotion, nor were there any traces of grief upon her coun- tenance. That did not surprise me, as she is not naturally emotional. ‘*] asked her what she knew of her father’s death, and, after telling of the unimportant events of the early morning, she said her father came home about 10:30. She was in the kitchen at thetime, shesaid, but went into the sitting-rqgom when her father ar- rived. She was Very solicitous concerning him, and assisted him to remove his coat and puton his dressing-gown; asked him con- cernedly how he felt, ashe had been weak from acholera morbus attack ofthe day be- ore. **She told me she helped him to get a com- fortable reclining position on the lounge, and asked him if he did not wish the blinds closed to Keep out the sun, so he could have anicenap. She pressed him to allow her to lace an afghan over him, but he said he id not need it. Then she asked him tenderly several times if he was perfectly comfort- able, if there was anything she could do for him, and upon receiving assurance to the negative, she withdrew. ‘‘] then questioned her very carefully as to the time she left the house, and shetoid me positively that it was aboutl10:45. She said she saw her father on the lounge asshe passed out. ‘*On leaving the house she says she went directly to the barn toobtain some lead. She informed me that it was her intention to go to Marion on a vacation, and she wanted the lead in the barn loft to make some sinkers. ‘*‘She was a very enthusiastic angler, so she told me. ‘*I went over the ground several times and she repeated the same story. ‘*She told me that it was hard to place the exact time she wasin the barn, as she was cutting the lead into sizable sinkers, but thought she was absent some twenty min- utes. Thenshe thought again and said it might have been thirty minutes. Then she entered the house and went directly to the sitting-room, as she says she is anxious con- cerning her father’s heaith. ** *] discovered him~ dead,’ she said, ‘and cried for Bridget, who was up-stairs in her room.’ ‘**Did you go and look for your step- mother?’ Lasked. ‘Who found her?’ **But she did not reply. ‘*I pressed her for some idea of the motive and the author of the act, andafter she had thought fora moment she said, calmly: ‘A ear ago last spring our house was broken nto while father and mother were at Swan- sea and a large amount of money stolen, to- gether with diamonds. You never heard of it because father did not want it mentioned, sO as to give the detectives a chance to re- cover the property. That may have some connection with the mur- der. Then I have seen strange men around the house. A few monthsago I was coming through the back yard, and asIap- proached the side door Isaw a man there ex- amining the door and premises.

Lizzie did most of the demonstrative contention, as Emma is very ) pt and unassuming, and would feel very eeply any Gisparag/hs or angry word from her father. - Lizzie, on the contrary, was haughty and domineering, with the stubborn will of her father and bound to contest for her rights, There were many animated in- terviews between father and daughter on this polat.

Gallagher of the Poor-house took the bull by the horns Saturday evening and sum- marily discharged Chief Clerk Bourdon. He said he had intended to do this the early part of the month, but thought it a matter of policy to hold off the discharge which he had written out on the 3d inst. untilafter the in- vestigation by the House of Delegates Com- mittee had been finished. A little episode happened Saturday which precipitated mat- ters and resulted in Bourdon receiving his walking papers. It appears that Bourdon went to Gallagher Saturday morning and asked permission to go down town in the afternoon. It was refused, and he thereupon asked to be allowed to go over to the Female Hospital for a few minutes. This request was granted and Bourdon going over there telephoned to Health Commis- sioner Brennan, asking him to give orders by telephone to Supt. Gallagher to permit him to go Gown town that afternoon. This Dr. Brennan didandupon Bourdon’s returning to the Poor-house Gallagher handed him his discharge. ‘*I refuse to recognize your authority to discharge me!’’ said Bourdon after he had read the paper. **You do,’’ replied Gallagher. ‘‘Well, I'll tell you if you don’t get out of hereI will go down to the police station and have officers come here to remove you.’’ Bourdon accord- ingly took a bath and after changing his clothes gracefully left the institution. BOURDON’S ALLEGED OFFICIOUSNESS. Mr. and Mrs, Gallagher claim that Bourdon and Jim Cronin areat thé bottom of a con- spiracy to have him removed. Bourdon’s grievance, so Gullagher says, is his refusal to let him run the institution. **Bourdon wanted me to go down town every day,’’ said Gallagher, ‘‘and attend to business at my shop while he run the Poor- house to suit himself. This I declined to do and he got huffy. Jim Cronin took alively interest in Miss McEnery and tried to have her reinstated here after her discharge. Because I refused he got this in- vestigation started. That’s all there isto ee Mr. Gallagher says he will make a clean breast of the whole affair to the Board of Charity Commissioners at their meeting in the City Hall this afternoon. Charity Commissioners’ Investigation. The Board of Commissioners on Charitable Institutions began their investigation into the conduct ofofficials and management of affairs at the Poor-house in the City Council Committee-room at 3 o’clock this afternoon, Supt. Gallagher was the first witness to be examined, and after him Chief Clerk Bour- don will be called. HIS 8ST. LOUIS WIFE, George Ketcham, the Brooklyn Defaulter, Was Married to Mrs. Berrett Here. Reports from New York announce that George Ketcham, an employe of the Old Colony Steamboat Co. for more than thirty years, has disappeared a defaulter to the company and left behind him two wives. For five sears it is alleged that Ketcham has sup- ported two wives in Brooklyn, and has kept each of them in ignorance of the other’s existence. The second wife is said to have been a St. Loulisan named Mrs. Annie M. Berrett, to whom he was married at Christ Church Cathedral, this city, in December, 1887. He brought her to live in Brooklyn, where he supported her in elegant style at 606 McDonough street, Wife No. 1, to whom Ketcham was married in 1863, resided at 306 North Twelfth street, srooklyn. Ketcham was a. tireless worker and deceived both wives with stories of extra labor. He had charge of the pay-roll of the laborers on the pier and by adding fictitious names tothe list and pocketing the wages drawn on these names, Ketcham is said to have obtained money enough to maintain wife No. 2inluxury. It was said that Mrs. Ketcham No. 2 was well connected in St. Louis, but her name does not appearin the city directory for 1887. The record of the license does not appear on the booxs of Christ Church, but at the Recorder’s office there is a copy ofalicense issued Dec. 10, 1887, to eorge Ketcham and Annie M. Berrett, both of New York. W.H. Tomlin, rector of St. Mary’s Mission, the Protestant Episcopal Church of East St. Louls, is the officiating clergyman named. Mr. Tomlin said that on Dec. 10, 1887, the lady and gentleman named called at his residence, but he was at the time in St. Louls ata mid-day prayer-meet- ingat the Merchants’ Exchange. By his wife’s directions the couple returned to St, Louis and met him atthe Exchange. They signified to him their intention to marry,and Mr. Ketcham declared that he was unlmar- ried and Mrs. Berrett said that her first hus- band was dead. Mr. Tomlin married them at Christ Church Cathedral and ate dinner with them at the Southern Hotel. ASKED TO EXPLAIN. The City Council Wants Information on the City Hall Granite Oontracts. The Secretary of the City Council, Wm. H. Osmer, to-day sent a communication to Hon. George Burnet, President of the Board of Public Improvements, asking why the re- quest of the Council, incorporated in a reso- lution adopted by that body on July 15 rela- tive to the granite contracts on the new City Hall and duly transmitted to the board had not been complied with or the commuani- cation sent, answered.

- KNIGHTS TEMPLAR. Denver Thronged With Visitors to the |’ Conclave. ~ OPEN-HEARTED HOSPITALITY OF THE BREEZY AND BOUNDLESS WEST. — Fifty Thousand . Strangers Within the City’s Gates—To-Morrow’s Great Pa- rade Will Eclipse Past Effortse—Four Bands of Indians One of the Attrac- tions~Music and Decorations. DENVER, Colo., Aug. 8.—The city awoke bright and early this morning and found itself in the possession of the Knights Tem- plar. They were everywhere in the streets, in Cars, carriages and thronging the many points of interest throughout the city. Every other man wore a Khight Templar badge, and those who did not wore some other sort ofa badge, for there are committees galore to look after the comfort ofthe visitors, and they are doing their duty well, for every member of-the craft will be provided with good accommodations. The committees are taking care of these gentiemen and their ladies and after they are all settled those who have been attracted the conclave will be cared for, but Not visitors have attended conclaves .. fad they are finding rooms rapidly at '+ houses, for all the hotels have been fi by the Knights. er is outdoing itselfintaking care of the crowds which are hurrying through its gates. Imagine a city of 150,000 people taking care of half that number, and this is what Denver is doing, and before Wednesday it is said that over 100,000 visitors will be in the city. This morning nearly 4,000 arrived and less than half of the number oftrains sched- uled to arrive before noon got in. This makes nearly. 40,000 people who have thus far arrived and they were swallowed up as quickly as those who preceded them were. Denver is a very lively town, but this increase of population has added to the bustle and confusion, and the streets are packed with hurrying humanity. All the transfer com- panies andexpress companies and express wagons are handling the trunks as rapidly as possible, but the baggage-rooms continue full. Beginning to-night, the employes will work all night, and all passengers who arrive to-day will receive their trunks before to-morrow morning, and thus they will be able to prepare for the grand parade. VISITORS PLEASED. Nearly all the visitors express themselves as very well pleased with the city, and they could not be otherwise, for everything possi- ble has been done for their comfort. Every structure in the business portion is decorated and the residences are gay withthe Knights’ colors. Some of the houses are decorated more handsomely probably than ever before. Instead of bunting the finer cloths are used and with special designs which must have cost thousands of dollars to produce. Thou- sands of colored incandescent lights are strung at the intersections of streets, and when they are lighted up to-night the city will resemble a fairy bower, at least that portion outside the business section, where every residence is lined with tall shade trees and where beautifullawns are pientiful. The various entertainment ciubs kept open houses to-day. The Missouri Club enter- tained Gov. Francis, who arrived last night, and many other Missourlans who arrived this morning. The Buckeye Club was crowded all day and so were the Troy, Princeton, Michigan, Elks and other clubs which are composed of Colorado residents who are natives of Eastern States. The air was filled with music and Knights paraded all day. Thearriving Knights were met at the Union Depot by a escort of the local Knights, and after they had registered at the reception tent next to the depot, were escorted to their headquarters. There was a jam of probably seven thousand people about the depot ail morning waiting for visiting friends. The trains were well handled, and there was very little contusion considering the amount of traffic, POLICE REGULATIONS. Denver is a warm place forcrooks. Halfa dozen who arrived this morning were given quarters in the jail, where they will remain until after the Conclave. There are more police in the city including special officers and Eastern detect- ives than in New York, allowing for the dif- ference in the size ofthe two cities. About twenty-five are stationed at the depot and the rest are scattered throughout the city, and crooks are picked up wherever they are found. There are some very humorous signs in town. An undertaker has one which reads: ‘Welcome, Sir Knights, to John Blank’s Un- dertaking Parlors, Denver.’’ A beer saloon has this inscription on its windows: ‘‘Milwaukee Headqguarters,’’ but few Knights will be fooled by this. Eastern visitors will probably think Denver a very wild city, forthere are four bands of Indians in town. They are the Siour, Apaches, Washees and Utes, and they roam through the streets at will, although their reservations are many hundred miles away. They are with two wild west shows which are giving exhibitions here, where years ago the Utes and Arapahoes, the cousins of the Sioux, who are showing here, fought their battles. The Utes lived west of the mountains and the Arapahoes about where Denver stands. The famous Boston Commandery, which errived last night, paraded the streets this morning headed by Carter’s bana of forty- five pieces. It was one of the finest look- ing bodies of men that have arrived, and it was cheered all along the streets ofthis great convention city. Eminent Sir Eugene Holton, commander, led the men. The commandery was made up of six divi- sions. They were: Berkshire, No. 2; Holden, No. 8; Thosia, No. 4; Deerfield, No, 5; Servia, No. 6, and Mascotte. Their headquarters are atthe Glenarm Hotel, the house which en- tertained Gen. Grant on Ris famous trip around the world. Peoria Commandery, No.1l,arrived early this morning with a large band and were escorted to their quarters in the St, James Hotel. WELCOMING GUESTS. As the morning advanced the belated trains which were schebuled to arrive last night be- gan tocome in.

FIXING THE PRICE OF COAL. How the Barons Coolly Put Their Hands in the Pockets of Consumers. New Yoru, Aug. 8.—OCoal consumers are completely inthe clutches of the Reading combine. Figures show that coal has been advanced $1.30 a ton in the last six months, and in the last week or so the product has fallen from 182,000 tong to 102,000a week. That is oneof the formal results of the informal meetings ofthe barons. Another such pleasant gath- ering will be held on Aug. 15, when the barons will drop in easuully and take another twist atthescrew. Coal dealers say that they have been informally notified that they may expect ancther raise by Sept. 1. The present prices of coal are as follows: Broken rate. Fre. 00 $43 4 55 4 20 30 - 899 445 The gatherings ofthe barons are held in the Central Building, Liberty street, and the philanthropists who want to help out the conscience of the public by making it pay prices for coal that are commensurate with the expense of mining and the amount of dividends the producers gmay declare, just happen along as it were, At the meeting on Monday week tt is expected that there will be a cheery-faced baron or two from the Phila- deiphia & Reading, Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley, Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and the Susquehanna, who compose the syndicate of philanthropic coal-producing and coal-carrying railroads. Congress,it will be remembered,at least the Senate wingof it, created a committee to look into the famous Reading Railway com- bine and its methods. So far it has ac- complished nothing and has adjourned its Sessions until September. The committee tried to get President McLeod of the Reading to appear and tell why the price of coal has been put up tosuch alarming figures. Presi- dent McLeod hasn’t obliged the committee et. The weather has been too warm, and naletter he wrote to Gen. Martin T. Mc Mahon, chairmanfjof the committee, he ex- pressed the hope that the committee would wait for his story until the days got cooler and coal fires would supply the heat of the sun. However, a little testimony has been forth- coming. Baron R. H. Willlams informed the committee that he was present at a meeting held in July by representatives of the coal- producing roads. There were abouta dozen men present. It was an informal affair, and the big coal barons merely met as a company of merchants might totalk over prices and the state of trade. They all thought that rices should be advanced and the output ept down to the consumption in 1891. In their informal, unrecorded way the barons decided that stove coal ought to go up 35 cents per ton, egg coal 20 cents and broken coal 15 cents. These informal advances, which went into formal effect immediately, added to those made at a similar gathering last January, made upatotal advance of 85 cents per ton on domestic coal. **The gentlemen who attend these meéet- ings,’’ asked Gen. McMahon, the Chairman of the Senate Committee, ‘‘can fix the price of coal at any figure they choose and re- strict the production. Can they not?’’ **Yes. We did not try to advance the price beyond reason, though. The price was too low, and it costs a great deal to mine coal. If the consumers knew what it costs to get out the coal they use, Ithink they would be willing to pay better prices.’’ **Will there be any more advances?’’ **I think we will make another at our next meeting of 50 cents per ton.’’ **You can increase the price $3 a ton if you want to, can’t you?’’ asked the Chairman. ‘“*That is largely so,’’ complacently an- swered the member of the baronial combine. **That’s a fraud!’’ ejaculated Gen. Me- Mahon, leaning back in his chair. Mr. Sayres of the Reading was just as pleasantly nonchalant as Mr. Williams in his manner of giving testimony. He agreed with everything the other representative of the barons had said. He didn’t think either that the public would object to paying more for coalthan theyever had if they could only know how much it cost the hard-worked, philanthropic barons to dig it out of mother earth’s womb.

CuicaGco, Ill., Aug. 8.—Clinton Abraham, Superintendent of the Chicago Horseshoe Works at Bast Chicago, Ind., drank carbolic acid, thinking it was whisky, Saturday night and died in a terrible agony ten minutes later. Dr. Vincent Vole and Louis Brunig partook of the same flery fluid. Dr. Cole invited Ingraham and Brunig into his office and asked themif they would like a drink of good whisky. They acquiesced, and the Doctor poured the contents of two bottles into his graduate. The mixture was divided into three glasses and the men drank it. The peculiar taste was commented on, Ingraham saying it tasted like poor whisky. The Doctor remarked it was like poison,but when Brunig exclaimed ‘‘carbolic acid,’’ Dr. Cole shouted ‘‘That’s what itis! Drink all the water you can or you are dead men!’’ Water was scarce and the men suffered terrible agonies. Cole’s chances of recovery are very poor. MEAT SHOP LICENSE.

THE CHAMPION GETS A WATCH AND CORBETT A NEW TRAINER. News From the Training Quarters at Shin- mnecock and Loch Arbor—Choynski Wants to Meet Jim Daly—Von der Ahe’s Managerial Method—News of the Turf, Wheel and Diamond. NEw YorK, Aug. 8.—John L. Sullivan ts getting rid of his superfiuous flesh rapidly. He was weighed after his eight-mile walk yesterday and tipped the beam at 21i% pounds and was feeling remarkably well. He weighed 214% pounds when he started on the walk. It looks now asif he will have little trouble getting down to 205 pounds before he leaves for New Orleans. Over five hundred people visited thechampion and looked him over carefully. Among them was a delega- tion from the Manhattan Athletic Club. On behalfof the Cherry Diamond Organization, Eugene Van Schaick presented Sullivan with a@ gold stop-watch in recognition of his services as referee at their recent boxing tourney. Pugilist Jim Corbett, training at Loch Arbor, N. J., for his fight with John L. Sulll- van, has found it necessary to secure still one more trainer. Jim Daly, who has been Corbett’s sparring partner, bas found that the Californian was gettingto be too much for him alone, and as Corbett must be worked very hard from now until the fight, John McVaigh of Philadelphia is now present to assist him. McVaigh isa perfect giant of 235 pounds and has no mean reputation as a wrestler and fighter. McVaigh will have a hard set-to with Corbett about four times a week and Jim Daly the otherthree, Corbett went through his regularroutine of training yesterday—handball in the morning, followed by his hard run to Long Branch and return. Then he went at the punching bag vigorousiy and kept hammering itforan hour. In the afternoon he again attacked the bag for an hour. JOE CHOYNSKI AND JIM DALY. New Yorx, Aug. 8—A London cablegram to & morning paper states that Parson Davies, on Dehalf of Choynski says that he will match his manto fight eight three-minute rounds with Jim Daly, Corbett’s trainer who has re- cently offered to fight Fitzsimmons on Sept. 5, the date intended for Fitzsimmons’ con- test with O’Brien. Daviesfurther says ‘‘if the Olympic Club will offer a reasonable caeee Choynski wil, safl at once for New Or- eans and will not Ask for expense money. The reason that eight rounds is stipulated is tbat there is not time for Choynski to train for a finish contest on that date, If Daly will not make this match Choynski will sail for America Aug. 25. The Californian is in good health, good habits and can easily train suf- ficiently before sept. 5to makea fight worth seeing with any man of his weight.’’ PUGILISTIC POINTERS. The California Clubalso expects to match Joe Goddard and George Godfrey for Octo- ber. Godfrey has already telegraphed the club that he will fight. Mick McCarthy, the lightweight who shared Mick Quilligan’s bad luck in this country, is now running a club at his home in Austraila,and he has a largeclass of pupils. The California Club of San Francisco has matched Solly Smithand Johnny Van Heest for afight at 115 poundsin September. John- ny Murphy, who was offered a $2,009 purse oe bet to fight Smith, refused the offer. Mick Dooley, whose last engagement with Martin Costeilo placed him among the sec- ond-raters in Australia, is now willing to fightany one. Word has been received from Kangarooland to the effect that a match be- tween him and Ned Ryan for £50 was talked of, THE TURF. Pierre Lorillard intends torace on an ex- tended scale next year and will have two divisions. The active campaigners will be trained by that shrewd and successful turf general, John Huggins.

Two-year-old racing absorbs annually mor and more turf interest and attention, and more and more overshadows other forms of sport, says Arthur F. Bowers. The number of prizes for 2-year-olds is continually multiplying and increasing in value. It Is unfortunate that the turf should be devoted so largely to the racing of animals which have not yet attained their full development, and the excess of 22-year-old racing is in every way deplorabie, but so long as the turf is kept on its present basis the prospect of reducing the _ racing among the youngsters to any reasonable proportions seems very slight. . The racing associations teel compelled to satisfy owners and breeders in this matter, and owners and breeders have so much capital invested in horse-flesh that they cannot be persuaded to delay racing their animals until they grow older, It is a feverish, unnatural state of things,this immoderate racing of 2-year-olds; but the possibility of uprooting it is not now apparent. COL. RUPPERT’S $30,000 YEARLING. The racing season is almost half over, and as yet Col. Ruppert’s $30,000 colt, by St. Blaise out of Lady Primrose, has nottaken part in arace. Col. Ruppert gave the colt the name of St. Domingo. It would be deplorable if so enterprising and liberal a newcomeron the turf as Col. Ruppert tis, failsto getany return from socostiy an Investment. ‘he trainers say that St. Domingo’s work, uptothe pres- ent time, has been a disappointment. Pos- sibly he may later prove himselfa race-horse, but these $30,000 yearlings are very uncertain animals. While Col. Ruppert has so far been disappointed in the lhighest- riced St. Blaise yearling ever solid, August eimont has reason to rejoice that he ts the ssessor Of so fastand handsome a filly as dy Violet, the flying daughter of The Lil- This is a filly bien belong.

Base ball received a severe set back yester- day, not through the Browns’ defeat—that has long since ceased tocause surprise or comment—but because the 5,000 spectators who paid their way into Sportsman’s Park yesterday were confidenced, as they ex- pressed it, having paid their way in to see the new phenomenpn Hawke officiate in the points. Mr. Hawke did not appear as advertised and great was the consequent dis- pleasure of the local cranks. In addition the audience was treated to an exhibition of Von der Ahe’s queer managerial tactics. Von der Ahe’s idea of what constitutes the right way to run ae Dase ball team has aiways been a mystery. He has never declared himself on the subject orally, but several overt acts of interference during Comiskey’s regime showed that the Boss President possessed very muddy ideas of good management, What- ever agitated the gray matter of the Boss President’s cerebrum yesterday no one could discover, but he announced in his pecullarly autocratic way that Gleason would pitch. This shelved Hawke and dis- appointed the crowd. Perhaps he thought that if Hawke turned out a success on the Eastern trip he would be a still greater draw- ing card toa Sanday audience onthe club’s return. Gleason’s arm was as raw as beefsteak before he went into the box yesterday. He was absolutely unfitted to pitch, and was the prime factor in the lossof the game. Be- cause he could not win with his arm out of condition he was laid off without pay. Gleason may and probably is to blame for being out of condition, but is it right— is it profitable—Mr. Von der Ahe, to punish him at the loss of a game and to the disap- pointment of 5,000 spectators, who paid their money yesterday to ses Hawke pitch the gaime? The game was the reverse of Friday’s. Good plays were as invisible as the inhabl- tants of Mars. The Browns flelded listlessly and could do nothing with Clausen’s de- livery. Thesummary follows: Louisville, 7; St. Louls, 1. Base hits—Louisville,. 7; St. Louis, 6. Errors—Louilsville, 2; The St. Louis Club left for Pittsburg under the wing of their manager, ‘‘the Von der Ahe,’’ this morning, Hawke and Breitenstein will do the pitching on the trip, Gleason being left athometo nurse asgore arm and mourn the loss of his salary. Third Baseman Haight will be picked up at Allentown, Pa., and Pitcher Hawiey of Fort Smith at Louisville. While away the club will play two games at Pittsburgand three at Louisville, returning to meet the Brooklyns next Monday. BASE BALL GOSSIP. Young Abbey is pitching in very poor luck for the Senators. Jack Boyle is quite a first baseman and he is hitting the ball hard. A Boston exchange sAys Walter Brodie is making quite a second baseman fur the Browns. Brooklyn has a collection of Toms large enough for a midnight concert. They are Burns, Daly, Corcoron and Kinslow. Pete Browning is stillin Cincinnati, although he does not attend the games or associate with his former base ball playing friends. *‘ Kid’’ Cross. made a funny home ran in last Thursday’s game between the Phililes and Brooklyns. Inthe ninth inning he hita high fly to left field, which Foutz gazed at until it passed over his head. He then chased it, picked it up and threw it past Corcoran. John Ward stopped it and threw home, but Tom Kinslow failed to cover the plate and Cross gets a ‘‘homer.’’ ; AMONG THE AMATEURS, CLERKS, 5; AMATEURS, 1.
