A minute latera stream of brokers, clerks and speculators poured into the streets from the Offices along Second.and Third, Pine and Olive streets and headed in the Girection of the .§ &t. Louis Public Stock Exchange at 311-314 Pine street, oppo- site the Merchants’ Exchange, The broad one-story buliding once used as a restaurant, then as a billiard hail, is now occupied by the largest brokerage concernin the city, operating under the name of the Public Stock Exchange. Theconcern is divided up into three parts, one for trading in grain, another for railroad.stocks and a third a so-called Mining Exchange. It isthe Mining Exchange that has incurred the disfavor of the Police Department. Just as operations were about to com- mence this morning Manager Tracy was accosted by Detectives Scully and Kelly and told that he and all of his employes were un- Ger arrest. Mr. Tracy asked that they arrest im onlyas he was the manager and culpa- bie. But the detective s ad received instructions and were obliged to put them into effect. The employees were hotified and a cordon of police at the front qagoor showed them that’‘it was safest to submit. Those taken besides the Re tag’ were John A. Monroe, Philip A. cDermott, Charles Wagoner, Charlies Hay- den, Harry W. Chambers , John J. Mulhol- land and John F, McDermott. The men were help an opportunity to lock-up the safes, rawers, Closets, etc., as aiso the building, and make everything as secure as possibie against burglars, and while this was heing done an immense crowd gathered on the street, reaching from Third to Fourth streets: The Kxchange steps op- posite were crowded, as were also the win- dows of the bullding, the traders on ’Change all coming out to see the fun. The prisoners were guyed unmercifully by some otthe pit boys on ’Change and the men on **the street’’ they took it all good naturedly. At the Four Courts they were booked *‘*hola for the OChief,’’ the police way of expressing the fact that they were unbail- able prisoners. Acting Chief Reedy said however, that it was not his intention to put them in the sweat-box orto Keep them the full twenty hours permitted by the law. Application would be made at once to Mr. Estep fora warrantandif he again re- fused it, tnen the men would be released and Mr. kKstep must shoulder the responsibility of the non-enforcement of the anti-option iaw in St. Louls. THE STATUTE. The section of the Kevised Statutes under which the arrest had been made was No. 8836, said Acting Chief Reedy, which reads as follows: Sec. 3836. It shall be unlawful for any corpora tion, association, copartaership Or person to keep or Cause to be kept in this state any office, store or other place wherein is conducted or permitted the preteaoded bnyinge or selling of the shares of stocks or bonds of any cor- poration. or petroleum, cotton, grain, provisions, or other commodities, either on margins or other- wise, without any intention of receiving and paying forthe property so bougnt or of delivering the property so sold; or wherein is condycted or per- mitted the pretended buying or selling of such property on .margins, when the party selling the same or offering to sell the same does not have the property on hand to deliver upon such sale; or when the party buying any ofsuch property or offering to buy the same, does notintend actually to receive the same if pur- chased or to deliver the sameifsold; andthe keep- ing of all such places is hereby gh pears And any person, whether acting Individually or as a member or as an “0Ofllcer, agent or employe of any corporation, association or co- partnership, who shal! be guilty of violating this section, shall, upon conviction thereof, be tined in any sum not iess than $500 and not more than $1,500, and any personor persons who shall. be guilty of a second offense under this section, in ad- dition to the penalty above prescribed shall, upon conviction, be imprisoued in the counfy jail for the period of not less than six months and not more than twelve months. FICTITIOUS STOCKS, ‘*‘There is no doubt in my mind,’’ said Mr. Reedy, ‘‘that these men have been violating that section of the statistics right along. They pretend to sell stock of the New York Mining & Prospecting Co,, the Ft. Wayne Mining & Prospecting Co., the St. Paul Min- in & Prospectiag Co., Denver Mining & Prospecting Co. and the ‘Frisco Min- i Prospecting Co. There are com panties in existenee, they pretend to receive quotations of the market on the stock of these five coOimpanies every minute or two. Nobody ever heard ofany stock being issued to the buyer or any being received from the seller. No goods are ever delivered and they have none to deliver. To me itts plain that they are violating the anti-option law of the State.’’ HOW IT IS DONE. The way the deal is operated on the so- called Mining Exchange is something as fol- lows: There are five mining and prospecting Companiesin which stock may be bought. Tape on the ticker is made by the company and they arrange the fluctuations. The rise and fall is so great at times @s to effeét- ually squeeze the speculators and prevent margining. The tape starts at 9 o’clock, the fluctuations occur every minute and it takes until5 o’clock in the afternoon to empty the ticker. Men who have been speculating in the stock since the exchanve | opened say they can’t beat the house. But one Man succeeded. THIS MAN MADE MONEY. Wm. Bueltemanon, said to be from Chicago, came down here a few weeks azo and made the operators sick. After a few days’ trading he forced the Exchange to suspend operations for a day until the financial backers the concern put up enough to grease the wheels of finance. After resuming operations Bueltemanna had some disagreement with the company over seven shares of the ’Fris- co Mining & Prospecting Co .which he held. Bueltemann’s name appears on the sworn Information. He alleges he bought seven shares ofthe Frisco stock from the Tracy Commission Co., and names J. L. Tracy, E. H. Cook, W. D. Valentine and T. J. Bradshaw asthe men interested in the con- cern. WARRANTS ISSUED. After the men were brought to the Four Courts there was a great deal of discussion about the matter of bail and warrants, and several hours consumed in conferences” be- tween Air. Estepand Chief keedy. At first Mr, Estep advised the Chief to hold no one but the managers, but after looking up the statutes he determined to issue warrants against allofthe parties under the statute _ quoted above. : LOCATING THE MINES. Manager Tracy was seen in acell atthe Four Courts shortly after his arrest, and he seemed to take his imprisonmert as a mat- ter of course. He had expected it, he said, from what he had seen in the papers. He didn’t think, however, that a case could be made out against them. He was asked ifthere were any such mining com- anies in existence as the ones whose stock e was sé@liing and he said they all were genuine companies, chartered in California. ‘‘Where are the mines located?’’ was @sked. **In California,’’ he answered. *“*In what part of the State?’’ ‘*I don’t know, but another man here does,’’ ang he asked one of his companions, who answered, San Bernardino County. Mr. ‘Tracy didn’t know whether they were being worked or not, or if they had ever been worked, or.when the companies were organ- ized. Each company, however, had its officers andthe headquarters of all of them were in Uhicago. They all had issued stock and he had bushels of it in his office. **Did you ever sell any of the stock?’’ **No; not In St. Louls.”’ “Did pte ever buy any?’’ **Not here in St. Louls, Dut I have always ’ if. the seller nated to deliver it and I have always : a ready to deliverall stock sold.

A Decided Drop in Well-KEnown Mining , Stocgs. Silver this morning reached the lowest pointinits history. From about 120in the summer of 159 it, has been steadily on the decline, and this morning, in London, opening at 83, it fell to 8242, and slid to 82%, the very iowest recorded notch ever reached by this unhappy metal. Subse- quently the ‘‘ticker’’ indicated a revival to 82%, 824e and 82%, the closing figure. Of course all silver mining stocks are weak, in sympathy with silver. Granite Mountain is in the trough of the sea, with $7.50 bid and offered at $8, and Bi-Metallic is offered at $12.50, other silver stocks are about in the same pro- rtion, but there are no buyers, and practi- cally nothing is doing. Peoplecan scarcely rémember when Granite Mountain was ever so iow, but it has been on the dagown grade fora year. Bi-Metallic has been a@ month or two falling from $18 or there- about. to its present depressed figure; in fact a week ago some of this stock was sold for $13 a share. : As stated there is nothing doing in silver stocks. Every decline in the metal has thrown stock on the market, but the certain- ty of a further decline in siiver has of course impelled buyers to keep hands off. There is no excitement in stock circles and the pres- ent status of silver and silver stocks seeins to have long ago been discounted by those who deal in such merchandise, At the St. Louis Mining Exchange the fol- lowing was black boarded to-day: Bid. 9 ROD © oc cn coc dba OUCUEUS ae : Elizabeth Montrose oe Pat Murph | eee Small Hopes $20.25 to Washington, D.

Acting Mayor Walbridge has decided to call a special session of the Municipal Assembly to convene Tuesday next, the iéth Inst., at7 | O’clock 'p. m. ‘ This act. was the immediate resultofaconference held this morning at the Mayor’s office. Upon notices sent out yesterday afternoon to the President pro tem of the Board of Pub- lic Improvements M. L. Holman, City Comp- troller Stevenson, City Counselor Marshall, Street Commissioner Murphy, Sewer Coni- missioner Southard, Harborand Wharf Com- missioner Able and Park Commissioner Fetcher, these gentlemen assembled at the Mayor’s office.ati1:15 o’clock thts morning. The acting Mayor stated the object of the meeting to be the advisability of calling a special session of the. Assembly for the pur- pose of giving the City Councli an opportual- ty toactat once upon the contract of the Pickel stone Co. for furnishing the cut-stone for the new City Hall as approved and sub- mitted Jast Tuesday to that body by the Board of Public Improvements, The various members of the Board of Public Improvements expressed their views, as published in yesterday’s PosT-DISPATCH, urging the necessity of an extra session so as to preventalong and unnecessary delay of the workon the new City Hall. ‘‘To defer action on the letting of this contract,’’ as President Holman expressed it, ‘*meant to throw the work back an entire season.’’ Ifthere were any defects in the present contract which did notmeet with the ap- proval of the Council, it was the general opinion that they could be remedied ata special meeting of the coard and a satisfac- tory one submitted. No objections were in- terposed and after an informal discussion of the matter for half an hour theacting- mayor was unanimously requested to issue his proc- lamation. The following was accordingly drawn up and ordered to be published: PROCLAMATION. MAYOR'S OFFICE, ? Sr. Louis, Aug. 12, 1892. 4 By virtue of the power and authority vested in me, I hereby call a special session of the Municipal As- seinbly of the City of St. Louis, to be heid in the City Hall, y of st.

A call was made at the office of Councilman Horton, Chairman of the Committee on Pub- daily line of Pullman sleepers through from | lic Improvements to ascertain why the com- mittee dia not report the contract T uesday night before adjournment, but that gentle- man was out of the city. The contract is for the cut-stone work to be used in ornamenting and decorating the ex- terlor of the new City Hall, and the specif- cations called for No. lcream buff Amherst stone. The lowest bidder was the Pickel Stone Co, and their bid $152,797, Board of Public Improvements. The Board of Public Improvements met the morning at 10 o’clock, President pro tem Holman presiding. The date for recéiving bids for eighteen pleces of work on street re- construction was set for Sept, 6. The contract for furnishing the new high service engine for the Water-works at Bis- sell’s Point, was awarded to the Southwark Foundry & Macnine Co., for $110,500. Adjourned until Tuesday next at 10a. m, Street Sprinkling Statistics. Since the visit of Mr. Gale of Chicago, who came here last week with a letter of intro- duction to the Mayor from Mayor Washburn of Chicago, the Street Commissioner has been gathering some statistics relative to street sprinkling in St. Louls for the benefit of the Chicago officlals, who wish to adopt our system. Supt. Johnson of the Sprinkling Depart- ment YTeports that the city at present is sprinkling about 440 miles of streets which takes from 56,000,000 to 10,000,000 gallons of water per day. Some of the streets are sprinkled only twice a day while others re- quire to be sprinkled at times three or four times a day, and those in the business sec- tion oftener than that. the Water Commissioner estimates the consumption at this season to be about fifty or fifty-five million cubic feet per day, so that about one-tenth of this amount goes to street sprinkling.

The rushat the Union Depot this morning of people go- ing out and making thetripto mountain re- sorts was as greatas ever, While nearly all the Eastern travelers were accommodated with trains, many were compelied to post- pone their trips to the mountain resorts be- cause of the lack of train accommodations. Nearly one hundred cars were sent to these resorts alone to-day. the railroad officials estimate that they carried 1.5,000 strangers into the city before and during the conclave, ‘his does not in- clude Volurado people who came by the local trains and rapid transit lines, so it would be fair td estimate that Denver entertained nearly 150,000 people during the week.

VrrciniA, Ill., Aug. 12.—Yesterday was a red letter day inthe history ot the Morgan and Cass Counties Old Settlers’ Association, which held its twenty-fourth annual reunion and picnic at the Fair Grounds in this city. All Virginia was astir at an early hour this morning to take careof the big crowds which always attend the reunions of this association. To-day’s celebration wason a more elaborate scale than former demonstrations and a tremendous crowd participated ig the exercises. Wayon loads, carriage loads and special train loads of peo- ple began arriving early in the day until at the noon hour. there were 2,000 pic- nickers and old settlers on the grounds and the scene was one of animation and great activity, Themnoon hour was devoted toa grand basket picnic dinner, The afternoon exercises, consisting of songs and short addresses by the old settlers, were particularly interesting. The principal ad- dress was made by Hon. A. A. Blunt of Mason City, which was enthusiastically received. Other speakers were Uharles Barnes and Samuel Nichols of Jacksonville and Rev. D. J. Strain. This old settlers’ association was organized July 4, 1868, and has a membership of nearly 700 persons, the leading and most substantial residents of this and Morgan counties.

Cuicaco, lll., Aug. 11.—Edgar Tollman, attorney for the Dunton family, came out in a local paper to-day witha very tart reply to the defense made on behalfof Dr. Henry Martyne Scudder in the New York Jnde- pendant. A local paper will to-morrow morning printa seven-column article over thesignature of Dr. Doremus Scudder, a brother of the alleged murderer, which goes intoa detailed statement of the. case, Itis the first time the views of the nearest relative of the suicide have been made pub- lic. Dr. Scudder, his brother says, was in- sane before Mrs. Dunton’s death and showed homicidal and suicidal tendencies. He was insane after her death, the statement says, tried to kill his own father and in all probability deliberately poisoned him- self. The charges against his brothar are a desire on the part of Mrs. Dunton’s rela- tives to obtain Mrs. Dunton’s property. It is claimed by Dr. Scudder that the will claimed to be a forgery is not a forgery at all, but is valid. ‘Therefore it is apparent the first document will be contested in the interest of Mrs. Dora Scudder. ‘This is rendered more certain by the silence of Dr. Doremus Scud- der regarding the circumstances surround- ing the making of the will or wills and the at- tempt of Dr. Henry Scudder to remove the tin box containing Mrs. Dunton’s papers. So it is fair to conclude that a stern fight Is coming in court over these two wills. The strange case is yet full of interest for the public.

Once Worth Millions, Now Broken and Bankrupt in His Oid Age. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Aug. 12.—The little steamer Alpha, owned by Capt. J. G. Minor, sunk a day or two ago at Raccoon Ripple, be- tween Point Pleasant and Gallipolis, leaving Capt. Minor and his wife (they are both be- tween 70 and 80 years old). penniless and in debt. For ten days the aged couple were living on the beach, several miles below Gallipolis, under shelter of a couple of widths of old rag carpet stretched upon poles, in straightened circumstances. Yet Capt. Minor was at one time one of the most prom- inent and wealthy men in this country. During the late war he was Assistant Treas- urer of the Confederacy, and at this day still has in his possession $500,000 in crisp Confed- erate notes, many of which have never been folded. It is said that aes Minor, when specie payment was suspended, presented a check to a Wall Street bank for $6,000,000 and got the money, though he broke the bank. It is an unquestioned fact that he once sold 40,000 acres of Texas land for cash, and at another time owned 3,000,000 acres of Western land, and to-day is not worth a dollar. €5—Put-in-Bay and Return—$5.

The Catholic educational exhibit is un- der the supervision of Bishop Spaulding of Peoria. Aiter commending Bishop Spalding and his colaborers for their efforts to make the educational exhibit a success, the Pope says: **Moreover this undertaking will tend to show that the Catholic Church does not countenance any lack of education or cul- ture, nor a condition of ftgnerance, but that, mindful of its being built by the Divine wis- dom, it bestows care everywhere in general and prefers especially what is most perfect in those things which relate to the proper communication of knowledge.’’ Warm Weather Again.

Assessors Mystified. CHICAGO, lll., Aug. 12.—A peculiar state of affairs is revealed by the reports of the vart- ous assessors to the State Bourd of Equaliza- tion, Just made public. These reports pre- senta satisfactory picture of material wealth, There are long rows of figures show- ing that Illinois is rich in farming and min- eral lands, in wheat, corn, rye and Darley, in horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. The total of their valuation runs into the hundreas of millions. But where the items of ‘‘dlamonds and jewelry’’ is reached the simplicity of the poses at once asserts itself. In all the road State, from Cairo to Dunleith and Lake Michigan to the Mississippi, in the en- tire city of Chicago, withits 1,250,000 inhab- itants, and its companions of Peoria, Joliet, Quincy, Bloomington and Springfield the total value of all such gew-gaws and useless luxuries is $58,762, no more or less. And this must be correct because if there had been a the assessors would surely have found It Was Syicide. FAIRMOUNT, Neb., Aug. 12.—It now appears that Misses Bertha and Lizzie Schults, who fell from a buggy Wednesday last, were, nat) killed by the fall, but committed suicide. The matter is being slowly sifted and develop- ments are being made, County Attorney Sloan came here from Geneva and began a quiet investigation. He visited every drug store in town, but each proprietor emphat- ically dented having 5014 the girl poisons. He then began a search of the druggistss regis- ters. On Druggist Woodruff’s register was found the following entry: ‘*Bertha Shultz (for H. §&. strychnine, one-eighth ounce— rats and mice.’” The bottle containing the poison was found in the Shultz yard. The label was scratched off. Physicians estimate that the bottle contained epough poison to kill 120. An effort will now be made to find some cause for suicide, but the investigators are wholly in the dark. ; Michigan Wheat.

One-third of the correspondents in the south- ern and one-sixth in the cefttral counties re- port the berry badly shrunken and of poor quality. The rest say itis of about the aver- age quality.

Czar Ziegenhein, who seenis to be ‘chiet : of the Republican wing of the ‘ ‘Push’’ | ring, will findin this issue a ‘‘Forum’’ letter written by a clergyman -protesting | against the persecution of a quiet and in- offensive congregation of Christians by the official nullifiers of our State laws. All that such a congregation can do now isto write pitiful letters appealing to the Post-DisPATcH and the people for sympa- thy. Appeals to ring-ruled courts of _— the law are madein vain since the Czar announced to the Council his official dec- laration of imperial disregard for the laws he is sworn to obey and enforce. But may we not, without offense, im- plore him to show a little more mercy to a class of fellow citizens who really mean to do good and are much more harmless than he seems to consider them? Is there to be no spot in this city upon which the church-builders and church-goers may erect a house of worship and _ rest there for a brief season under the protection of the laws? There are blocks in which the houses of ill-fame, with their unlicensed and untaxed liquor business, are protected from disturbance in spite of the law. Shall not Christian Churches en- joy as much toleration whenit is strictly in accordance with law and guaranteed by law? In an imperial edict delivered in person tothe Council, our Collector Czar inti- mated that there was some undefined West End territory in this city in which he would consent that the law of the State might prevail over the will of the brewers. But where is ii? Where can weary wor- shipers, driven hither and thither, find rest from brass bands and Hoodlum orgies on Sundays? An official assignment of the metes and bounds within which churches are to be tolerated for a specified number of years would save congregations from a _ great deal of expense in building temples of worship doomed to be turned soon into il- licit beer halls and dance halls at less than half the cost to the original owners. {eo -_- AN INTOLERABLE CONDITION. The people of Tennessee have reason for indignant protest against the action of Gov. Buchanan in commuting the death sentence of Col. King. King was con- victed of murder after a fair trial in which he had every advantage of wealth, influ- ence and able legal counsel. The testi- mony showed that his crime was cruel, cold-blooded and without a shadow of justification. Despite every plea and plan that legal learning and acumen could de- vise to save him, his conviction and sen- tence were confirmed by the highest courts of the land. All considerations of justice and of respect for law demanded that the sen- tence of the court be executed against this man. Yetthe fact that he was a man of position, education and influence, which rendered his crime the more heinous, was made the ground for nullifying the man- dates and turning aside the sword of justice. The consequences of such an act of vitiated clemency are not confined to the particular case and time of application. It touches deeply the dearest interests of society. It is a vicious blow at the founda- tions of government. Itis evidence that justice goes by favor and so fosters dis- trust of the State and impairs and degrades its authority. ” The paralysis of the law and the block- ing of its enforcement, whether accom- plished by money, social influence, polit- ical pulls or law-defying combinations of disreputable forces, are intolerable to any State or community. It is a condition which all good citizens must not only pro- test against, but combine together to de- Stroy as the most dangerous menace to public safety and order. FO 9 —— MR. GLADSTONE carried the vote of ‘‘no confidence’’ against the Salisbury gov- ernment by a majority of forty. This probably is the high-water mark of his strength for it is doubtful if he will be able to keep his followers together when he en- ters upon a positive policy. In the British House of Commons it is comparatively easy for a leader of opposition to command every element hostile to the government, but his influence wanes as soon as he takes office and finds himself unable to satisfy all his supporters. — a = . —~, — THE ignorance of a local morning paper leads it into the error of attributing much of the popularity and stable success of the Knight Templar order to mutual benefit insurance. The truth is the Templars pride themselves upon the fact that their order has no insurance feature, but de- pends solely upon its solid merits asa social organization for its success. The only mutual benefit element in the order is its brotherly regard for the welfare of its members and charitable care of those in need. THS situation in New York does not seem to be very satisfactory to the Repub- licans, notwithstanding Platt is said to have been ‘‘placated.’? Harmony is not possible in-the presence of persistent rumors of treachery and occasional glimpses of gleaming knives. The Presi- dent is a pretty good politician of the smaller sort, but he is not the mian to play a big game skillfully. He alienated the | afiections of the men who elected him four . i spect of the new managers, The boast of his friends that he outwitted Quay and Clarkson is hardly ‘justified.. He won the nomination against them through the mo- mentum of a big machine, but there is no evidence that he is able to tise above preju- dice and forget personal spites in presence of party necessities. The directors of his campaign are men who have, all of them, expressed contempt for him, and he is not the man to forget such utterances. The harmony so much talked about does not go below the surface. SCHWEINFURTH, the distinguished hy po- crite who is reveling upon credulity by posing asa New Messiah, is said to have determined to move his ‘*heaven’’ from Illinois. The Illinois people haye reason to be grateful to him for this determina- tion, but when he starts to move he may have difficulty in stopping. ‘*Move on’? is likely to be the word all along the line with regard to the Schweinfurth crew. The fact is the earth is not a good location for a heaven of his sort. THE Pennsylvania Railroad Co. having willingly or unwillingly gone into the coal combine there is nothing to stay the up- ward movement of prices. Anthracite may goto §10 or even higher if the people cannot get a substitute. The resources of the Keystone State are cornered and there isno hope of breaking the monopoly ex- cept through legislation, which somehow seldom” serves as a bar tosuch conspira- cies. ——— _. SoME idea of the degradation and hope- less misery of the poor of Russia may be gained from the reports of the opposition among them tothe enforcement of sani- tary measures to prevent the spread of the cholera plague. They refuse to be made clean or to be bothered with preventive efforts of any kind. The Czar has liter- ally to kill many of them to save them from death by disease. KNUTE NELSON, who wants to be Repub- lican Governor of Minnesota, voted for the Mills bill, avows himself a free. trader and ‘fspits’’ upon the protection platform on which he does not exactlystand. In other words he and his party.know that the Governorship of the State cannot be ob- tained by anyone who is not a Democrat in principles. Te —_— A CHICAGO paper, talking of prices in that city during the World’s Fair, re- marks that ‘‘it will be wise to make acon- certed effort toward the prevention of any attempt at extortion during the early weeks of the exposition.’’ This is a bit of sensible business advice, but. won’t it cause a crush during the early weeks? Ne ee “Out of Their Own Mouths.’’ From the New York WORLD. No more than casual examination of the report ofthe Treasury Department is re- quired to prove the utter absurdity of Repub- lican assertions that the McKinley act has reduced prices. This reports shows, forexample, that the following protected necessaries of life ad- vanced in price from the passage of the Mc- Kinley bill to June 30, 1991, as follows: Bituminous coal, 10 cents a ton. Manufactures of fax, hemp and jute, pound—due to the cordage trust. Cotton cloth, 1 centa yard. Common window-glass, 1 cent a pound. Carpets, 86 cents a yard. From 1880 to June 30, 1891, cotton cloths ad- vanced 2 cents a yard; carpets, $1.28 a yard; pig-iron, $5.23 a ton,and leaf-tobacco, 8 cents a pound. Accepting for the present argument the statementof the Treasury Department, we find that the farmers are not receiving so much under the McKinley act as they re- ceived during the period of the Walker tariff, commonly abused by the protectionists as the ‘‘free trade era.’’ From 1855 to 1860 the farmers received from "2to 89 cents a bushel for their corn; in 1891 they received 57 cents, In the former period they received from 98 cents to $1.66a bushel for their wheat; in 1891 the price was 93 cents. The fact is that all necessaries of life have increased in priee since the passage of the McKinley act, while the prices of farm products have decreased since that terfible ‘*free trade era.’’ In other words, the farmer gets less for his wheat and pays more for his wife’s calico dress. This is shown by the official figures ofa Re- publican Administration. — —_, hl 7 2 cents a Mr. Goulda’s Views Still Prevail. From the Rochester Heraid, If the Republican organs weré candid they would talk as Jay Gould did over his own sig- nature inthe New York WorLp in October, 1890. Here are is exact words: ‘‘I cannot see that the new tariff ofitself will be a disad- vantage to the country. If it increases the cost of some articles people will simply use less of them. Take wool, for instance. If the tariff on wool makes clothing cost more,a person will get along with one suit where he would otherwise have two.’’ The above was not pleasant reading for the poor man, but Mr. Gould must be given credit for having given an honest opinion. The present Democratic House has sought to make woolen clothing cheaper, so that a per- son could buy two suits of clothes where he is now comipellead to make one answer. The Springer bill removed the duty on raw wool, and reduced the duty on manufactured wool- ensto from 2% to #@ percent. But the Re- publican Senate has not deigned to take from the Finance Committee this grand measure ofrelief. The views of Jay Gould still domi- nate the Repubican party. An Independent View. From the New York Times (Ind. ). The Republican claim that quite as much extravagance was displayed during the re- cent session of Congress as was indulged in by the much-criticised Fifty-first Congress has been met by certain Democratic state- ments and comparisons. Mr. Holman, Chair- man of the House Committee on Appropria- tions, shows that the amount appropriated at, the Jate session was actually less by more than $83,500,000 thanthe appropria- tions of the preceding session, when ng river and harbor dill was passed, .Leav- ing out the river and harbor appropriation, the Comparison shows over $54,600,000 in favor ofthe present Congress. Butof the appro- priations made rear nearly $80,000,000 was rendered senuliee ble by legisiation of | years ago by his bumptious self-assertion ‘amd he hk Mowe acthing to win the re- | lays, and ifthat could have been eliminated the total for the first session of the present Congress would have been less by over $113,- 000,000 than that of the last session of the pre- vious Congress and less by $66,000,000 and more than that of the first session of the Fif.- ty-first Congress. Important and Valuable Work. From the St. Louis Christian Advocate. The Post-DisPatcu deserves the support and encouragement of all good citizens for its vigorous assault on these great evils, and the exposure which it has made of our thoroughly corrupt city government. If it can succeed in arousing the better element of our people, so they will see that the munici- pal affairs are put into the hands of honest plished a work, the value and importance of which can not be estimated. Business in Politicos. From the Philadelphia Record.” **It is Just as right, just as safe and proper, just as defensible, to make up an appropria- tion bill by allowing parties to write in their own salaries as it is to make up a tariff bill by allowing parties to write in their own bounties,’’ said Representative William L. Wilson. Practically, the McKinley bill was framed after long and repeated consultations with the parties who were to benefit by its operation, and they were allowed to write in theirown bounties, even to the sugar pro- ducers, who, insterd of a protective tax out ofthe pockets of consumers, were granted a bounty direct from the Federal Treasury. A Republican at Large. From the Detroit Free Press. The good old Col, Shepard’s paper says that there are more lunatics and idiots at large than the publichasany idea of. This recalls what Mr. Vanderbilt said when he got mad and talked about his son-in-law, No one ever denied the old gentleman’s em- phatic speech. ’ THE PEOPLE’S FORUM.

Church South, worshiping at Eden Chapel, about a mile from the road, that they would donate alot in their new addition, provided they would movetothat place and put up a good church building. The congregation accepted the offer, and during the lastten months erected a handsome brick church on the lot given ata cost of $12,000. They have been worshipping inthis house several months and the church has prospered and grown notwithstanding some annoyances to witich it has been subjected tin the way of numerous refreshment booths which have been erected on adjoining lots, and which are open all day Sunday, attracting considerable crowds fromthe city. Itis how proposed, however, torun, inoneof these booths or pavilions situated less than two hundred feet from the church, a saloon and dance hall, and an Italian nondescript has actually obtaineda saloon license and proposes to have a band there every Wednesday and Sunday night, choosing the very time when there are services in the church. Now, inthe name of morality and religion and common decency, we appeal to youto know if this thing will be tolerated in the city of St. Louis. Are our churches to be closed by common nuisances, such as this will be, and Is there no redress? Are saloons, carrying on their nefarious business on every corner and under the very steeples of our churches and in face ofthe law, the only institutions that have any rights? Is our city government to continue to be run in the interest of saloons and law-breakers? Some of us thought that possibly the tragic death of Judge Normile might put a check to the reign of lawlessness inthis city, Dut it begins to look as though it were a desperate case and as if there was no hope for justice under the present administration of Munic- ipai affairs. The St. Louis & Suburban road, going farther into the country than any other elec- tric road itn the city, has been very popular during the summer with the better class of the population, large numbers of people go- ing out every evening to take a ride and get a breath of fresh air, but if this disreputable affair is to be seen at the end of their line, it will attract the hoodlums and worst element of the city and will largely affect the patronage of the road. Not only for this reason, bt also for another, it seems to us that this road should seek to abate this threatened nuisance. The Suburban is building up very rapidly and soon a large resident population will be its daily patrons, but if saloons and dance-halls are to be established along its route and at the terminus of its principal division, respectable peo- ple will look elsewhere for homes, not caring to come in contact with the drunkards and members of the demi-monde who will be the frequenters of such institu- tions. Of course so vile a den asthis will be will depreciate the value of all property in the neighborhood, and It fs oa prone | to the interest of those who own real estate either in Mount Auburn or Wellston to do all possi- ble to close this murder mill. We earnestly ask the assistance of the Post-DIsraTcu in the fight which we propose to wage Dy all just and legal means. It is a question whether the church or the saloon Shall be closed, M. B. C.

His Assurance That He Will Aid the Third Party’s Cause. ARRANGEMENTS TO BE MADE FOR HIM TO SPEAK AT INDIANAPOLIS. Chairman Taubeneck Confirms the Infor- mation Given to the ‘‘Post-Dispatch”’ Yesterday, and Furnishes Further Ev- idence of Gresham’s Intentionse—Why . Gresham Refused the Nomination — General Politics. Since Judge Gresham has signified his in- tention of volunteering his services in the in- terest of the People’s party, as was made public in the Post-Dispatca of yesterday, considerable speculation has been indulged in by the Democratic press as tothe probable result of his actions. The Republican organs have taken occasion to assert that there was nothing in the rumor, as Judge Gresham could ill afford to turn the cold shoulder to Benjamin Harrison and the Republican ticket, **T care very little what the Republican press has to say in regard to Judge Gresham’s actions,’’ said Mr. Taubeneck, Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the People’s party, this morning. ‘‘I notice that Mr. Gresham’s decision is termed a rumor by certain papers. As a matter of course, we expected nothing more or less from certain sources, as we are aware it Is a severe blow to the Republican party. Now I will tell you what I know about the matter, and it can be relied upon as absolutely cor- rect. 1 know how Gresham stood two years ago; while he was recognized as a Repub- lican leader, yet from letters in our posses- gion we know that he was in sympathy with our party and represented our principles. Knowing this to be a fact, he was urged to accept the presidential nomination of the People’s party at the Omaha convention,but declined for personal reasons, and not political. When Gen. J. B. Weaver was tendered the nomination, while it has never been made public before, Judge Gresham wrote him a very friendly letter, the contents of whichIam not at liberty to make public, but I will state that he wished the General success, and intimated that at the. proper time he could expect more encouragement than the receipt of a personal letter. I presume that that time is at hand, judging from the letter that Judge Gresham wrote to Mr. Stoll, Secretary of the State Committee of Indiana, asking him to consult the committee in regard toa suitable date for him to make a speech at Indianapolis, in behalfofthe party. I know this to be a fact, aslamin receipt ofa letter from Mr. Stoll, conveying this §in- formation to the National” headquart- ers, and in his letter he quotes a ortion of the contents of Judge Gresham’s etter, which at this time I refuse to make public without the consent of Judge Gresham or of the State Committee of Indiana, to whom the letter was addressed.’’ ‘‘Why is it that Judge Gresham cannot be heard from on this subject.’’ ‘That is very easily explained. In all probability the Post-DIsPpaATCcH let the cat out of the bag a little earlier than was intended, andas Judge Gresham is in the State of Maine somewhere he has probably not h@rd of the publication declaring his in- tention of supporting the People’s party. But you need have no fear of his sincerity, as he is withus notwithstanding the report to the contrary as emanates from the Republican forces, who are aware that it-will cut the Republican party nearly a half a million of votes, besides losing the State of Indiana and several other Eastern States.’’ Gen.

A Young St. Louisan Dangerously Wounded Near Atlanta, Ga. A telegram from Atlanta, Ga.,. received last evening, announced that Earl Jackson, a young man whorecenty arrived there from St. Louis, was serlousiy shot by a negro train hand while stealing a ride. Jackson lived on Bay street, in the south- ern part of the city, ahd having learned the plumbing trade thought he would succeed betterin the South than by remaining here. He wentto Atlanta several weeks agoand looked in vain for employ- ment. alling to find it he became dis- heartened and started back to St. Louis. Wednesday night he boarded a train and é rode a short distance, not having the means to buy a ticket all the way. He got off at Marietta and jumped on a freighttrain which came alongiater. He made an arrangement with a negro train hand, itis said, to let him ride asa stow. away inan empty car, and paid him, itis alleged 20 +#2cents, ali the money he haa in the world. The train had not gone far when the: conductor came inthe car and ordered Jackson ont. He demanded the return of his 20 cents and the a refused to return the money. Jackson knocked the negro down and the latter then went to ano ther car and arming himself with a shotgun came back and discharged one of the barrels in the young St. Louisan’s face, completely ruining one of his eyes. The negro, who gave hisname as Sam White, was arrested and lodged in jail in Carterville, Ga. Jack- son was taken to Atlanta and placed in the public hospital. The surgeons are confident of saving his life, but say there is little chance of saving his eyes. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. : Dae cacerune ae S. Grant died July 23, v- M.

Father Kuhlman Will Case Before the Vatican, THE PRIESTER-VEREIN SUPPRESSED BY BISHOP RYAN OF ALTON, Writ of Ejectment Served on the Mitonell Pastor by Hw Bishop—He Haplains Convent—Troubles in the Alton Dic cese, **Rome’s first law is obedience and her sec- fore speak to the newspapers, much as they have spoken about me, because I would hurt my case.’’ In these words Father ©. Kuhile man addressed a Post-DisPatcu reporter who asked him for an Interview this morning in the cosy little parlor of St. Mary’s In+ firmary, No. 1536 Papin street, where Father Kuhliman is on a _ visit. **Much has been said about me in the newspapers,’* continued Father Kubiman: ‘‘I have only two points to make. In the first place I have never learned what was the matter; I do not know what charges have been made against me, andI donot know who has madethe charges. I am in fact as ignorant of the whole business as you or any one else has been. In the second place Iam entitled to the possession of the parochial residence at Mitchell, and to the salary of the pastor. . THE CASE NOT CLOSED. The news received from Rome that my sus- pension was confirmed has misled many peopl e and put me ina false light. That de- cision received from Rome merely meant that the Bishop of Alton had acted rightly and according to rule; but the decision did-not say whether the information upon which the bishop suspended me was convincing and sufficient, I had never been heard. The information had never been put to the test. Rome must now pass upon this phase of the case, but not before I have been given a chance to defend myself. The proceedings in the suspension so far are similar to an in- dictment bya Grand-jury. The Grand: jury hears the testimony of your accusers, but you yourself are not called before the jury and given an opportunity to defend yourself. In fact the law says that no man who has been a witness before a Grand- jury in an investigation canbe indicted. It is only when the person who is indicted is brought beforea criminal tribunal that beis afforded an op- portunity to bring testimony and evidences in rebuttal ofthe testimony and evidence of his accusers. If asecond Grand-jury would go over the ground traversed by t first Grand-jury in reaching the indictment and would then declare that the action of the first “Grand -jury was strictly ac- to the methods of then you will If Bishop Ryan be compared to a Grand-jury, then1 might be said to have been indicted on testimony which was éufflicient according tothe rules laid down forsuspensions. If the authorities at Rome be supposed to be the second Grand- jury, which examined the process by which the first one found an indictment, and de- cided that the same was in accordance with the forms fixed by the general councils of the church for Tridentine suspensions, then the similitude of my case toa State felony case is complete. ORDERED TO A CONVENT. Rome served me with notice that my sus- ension by Bishop Ryan was legaland accord- ngto rule,and ordered me to retire toa convent fortwo months. After that penance had been fulfilled then the ban would be re- moved, and I would be permitted to perform the offices ofa priest. I would have to submit myself to the Bishop and obey fils directions. But lam not obliged to do the penance im- posed until I have laid my case before Kome and made my defense, just as a man who is indicted is not punished until his cause is heard. Now, 1 will start for Rome next week and will be prepared to refute what- ever charges bave been brought against me. Then I will know whois my accuser and of what he has accused me. [I have hearda multitude of rumors as, perhaps, you have, and I will be ready to meet al! of them. Then willcome the real confirmation or repeal of the mys 2 gem imposed by the bishop foronly then will Rome weigh in a balance the testi- wens upon which the suspension was made an ask which side has the preponderance of evidence. **If you or anyone else will read any author- ity upon the law in regard to Tridentine sus- pensions, you will see that the bishcp has not observed the rules. The law requires the bishop to keep the fact of the suspension a profound secret. Neither the bishop who suspends nor the priest who is suspended is rmitted to utter a word about it, but must eep it a secret between themselves. For my part, have been silent. Not so with the other side, who have letthe suspension and the recent ap- |proval of It reach the public through secular préss. WhenlI go to ‘Here are the publications made about this case.

A Pen Picture ofthe Daily Life of the Two Giants—How They Eat, Sleep and Work-—Sullivan Says He Will Whip Corbett Fast—Base Ball and the Turf —General Sporting News. New YorK, Aug, 12.—As the time when the answer to the question, ‘‘Whoshall be cham- pion of the world’’ approaches, the sporting fraternity eagerly devour every morsel of gossip relating to the two giants who are preparing forthe battle. That it will be a Dattle of giants,a resume of the careful prep- aration each man has undergone, the hard work and self-denials of these two models of the fistic art, will makeapparent. Mr. Sul- livan is of more mature years than Corbett, and, asthe champion has had a more ex- tended ring experience, his case will natur- ally be considered first. No reports astothe big fellow’s good con- dition that have been received have been oOverratea. He looks to be in great form, barring a blistered heel. The greatest source of wonder to those who have seen him with- inthe last few days is what has become of the ‘‘corporation’’ which was so noticeable, #@ven when he leftfor Bayhead? It is gone. At least the greater portion of it, and he now tipsthe beam at 210 pounds, the stipulated weight. He may let up in his training now andhe deserves arest, for he has worked faithfully for his reputation and the dollars of his backers. ~ THE DAY’S WORK. One day’s work may indicate all of his daysin training. The breakfast hour is 7 o’clock, two hours after he tosses off the bed covers and stretches himself into wake- fulness. Those two hours are spent in walk- ing over the rough, but picturesque, Shinne- cock Hills, accompanied by Casey and Ash- ton. The party does about ten miles before breakfast. The blistered heel interfered some with the walks, however. He started away with a” decided limp like a spavined horse, as he put it, but the Iimp soon wore away andere long he and Ashton were striding alongatabriskclip. Bag-punching follows the morning mealand hereis where the big fellow reduces weight. Ashe plays a cease- less tattoo upon the leather sphere the perspiration streams out in rivulets. For about thirty minutes generally he does nal give the bag asecond’s rest, now hitting a series of quick, light tapsand then giving it such a powerful smash as to almost send it crashing through the ceiling. Rope-skipping is one of Sullivan’s favorite pastimes and he can give cards and spadesto the soubrettes and serio comics in the profession at that amusement. He went it 549 times the other day withoutaslipora pause, now and then varying his step from both feet together to asort of jig movement. This exercise Is for the legs. JOUN’S MEDICINE BALL. While Sullivan is bag-pounding and rope dancing in the barn back of Canoe Place Inn, people from the country around and city people, who come on yachts to see him, crowd in on him, biocking up the door and keeping out the air; but he does not mind it; he says it helps him to perspire more freely. Sullivan’s mode of entrance and exit to the barp is by means of an iron ladder which he skips upand down likea sailor. After he bas been soused with seve- ral buckets of water, been rubbed down, anointed with witch hazel, fea and told a few stories—for John L. is no mean recon- teur, he takes another jaunt across the country, andon his return tosses a huge ball called a medicine ball, probably be- cause medicine is superfluous when it Is used. This instrument isa leather covered sphere weighing several pounds and abouta foot through. Sullivan handles it as if it were a tennis ball, throwing it overhand, between his legs alternating with each hand separately and then with both, andin all imaginable ways. Another rub down and it is supper time. After sufficient time has elapsed the party pulls Gown to Peconic Bay and John takes his daily plunge. Thisis one of the things he lives for. Heisan excellent swimmer and can claim undisputed superiority over his rival inthat respect. ByS8 o’clock it Is as guiet about the quaint old Long Island tavern asitisat4a. m. in most places, and by 9:30 the lights are all out and everybody sleeps. WILL WHIP CORBETT FAST. His play, his book, his telling stories are Sullivan’s principal mental diversions. The coming fight engrosses him but little. To the foolish questions of strangers as to what he thinks of the outcome, he says wait until Sept. 7; toanybody he knows he has no hes!i- tancy in saying he will‘‘whip Corbett fast.’’ After one has spent a day at Bayhead he comes away with the impression that itisa ‘‘cinch’’ for Sullivan. Youcan’t figure it out how he can lose. Butaday spent in the vicinity of Loch Arborisapt to dispel the impression somewhat. It depends ina measure on which you see last which youthink will win. Just as they think around Bayhead that it is Sulll. van’s fight, so they are firmly convinced down in Jersey that Corbett is the man, WHAT CORBETT THINKS. Corbett is confident that Sullivan will fall before him. To a friend he said last night: **ITcannot see how I can be Deaten. Ican escape from my opponent’s blows, and, being agile on my feet, I can atthe same time get in some of my right-handers,’’ and then concluding, he said: ‘*Tell Mr. —— tharl will be champion of the world next time he pees me.’’ Corbett did not say this with any haughty pride. His manner and tone indi- cated the determination he has to win the fight. It is three hours after Sullivan has been out of bed that the tormer bank clerk bestirs himself. Eight o’clock is his waking hour. He says he sleeps that long because he wants to. He has his own ideas of training and fol- lows them out. That they must be bene- ficial one is convinced by Corbett’s appear- ance, His eye is clear, his every movement vigorous and supple. A glance is all that is needed to refute the report that he has not been taking care of himself. _. JIM AND THE LADIES. Corbett’s training quarters are more aris- tocratie and exclusive than the champion’s but not so secluded. However, neither ex- Clusion nor seclusion has kept either place from being Overrun with curious people. The Story that Corbett was overfond of ladies’ society got their origin fromthis fact. As- bury Park isa summer resortand there are lots of women there. They flocked around the pugilist, and as he did not care to drive hem away ' with a cilub_ senseless reports were circulated about that Jim’s gallantry was interfering with bis training. It was to prevent any more malicious tales that a high pine board fence was built around the hand ball @ourtand barn where he works. Corbett’s breakfast is a Danquet compared with. Sulli- van’s. Dissipation has not rendered his stomach touchy. Then, clad only in a sleeve- less jersey,a pair of tennis trousers and rusty red shoes, a make up which he seldom varies, he reads his mail and then takes a row on the littie lake hard by. A swim in the ocean, or rather a bathin the ocean, follows. James J. isa poor, avery poorswimmer, ‘‘I love to fight breakers,’’ he says.

No matter how tiring the work Corbett blows but little, and when winded, two or three respirations are enough to restore him. He seemsto nevertire and wants to be constantly on the move. While he is ba punching he asps Small dumb-bells. This Says tires the arms more, hen he puts up in front of Sullivan they will lighter and stronger without the weights. A seven mile walk to Long Branch concludes the day’s work. Eleven o’clock is the bed hour, so he gets just as much sleep as Ssulll- van, but ata different time. Corbett will enter the ring at 188 pounds, and as fittofight forthe place he ccvets as any man that ever stepped between the ropes.

Providence was kind yesterday, The inev- itable was postponed and one day passed on which the long-suffering St. Louis base Dall crank did not have to recorda defeat for the home team. Kindly showers fell on the struggling me ers after six innings had been played and the contest was a drawn battle. Hawke pitched a good game, but Clausen did even a better. The brown-hosed sluggers (?) actually sized up his delivery for one little hit in the six innings. The Colonels found Hawke six times, but. failed to score through stupid base running. Aside from the pitchers’ work the game was featureless. The summary follows: Louisvilie, 90; St. Louis,0. Base hits—Loulisville, 6; St. Louis, 1. Krrors—Louisville,1;S8t. Louis, 2. Bat- agers ome and Green, Hawke and Buck- ey. YESTERDAY’S GAMES. AT PITTSBURG—Pittsburg, 4; Cincinnati l. At BALTIMORE—Baltiwmore, 6; Washington, 6. At PHILADELPHIA—Philadelphia, 8; Boston, 4.

O’Neill, while dis- fecussing base ball with crowd of friends yesterday, got offa good one on Von der Ahe’s pets. **‘Our boys are having tough luck,’’ re- marked a friend. **Who, the Browns, you mean? Wby, sir, they are making a great record,’’ said the Congressman. ‘*Did you ever hear of the Irishman who went to the races, and fancied a horse named Bother’em? He put h!s money on Bother’em, and the horses started. Away they went, Bother’em bringing up the rear in greatshape. The Irishman yelled loudly, attracting the attention of every body around. ‘**What are you yelling about?’ said a bystander. ‘Look where your horse is.’ ‘Don’t Isee?’ repliedthe Irishman. ‘That horse knows his business. We bas all the other horsesin front of him like a lot of sheep.’ ‘*That is the way with our Browns,’’ said the Congressman. ‘‘They have all the other clubs in front of them lixea lot of sheep.’’ THE TURF, Fortune plays strange freaks on the turf. Green B. Morris wonthe first great prize of the year in the Brooklyn Handicap at Graves- end, but hisluck was extremely poorasa rule after the Brooklyn meeting was closed, and his horses were running badly. Week after week passed without his colors getting first place. This naturally troubled and irritated the veteran owner and trainer, and he became thoroughly disgusted at some of the handicapping of his horsesat Morris Park, so hepulled up stakes and wentto Saratoga. His stable is not now so formidable as it was expected at the outset of the season it would be, Judge Morrow has not done anything really brill- fant since the Brooklyn meeting closed, and unless Mr. Morris buys some high-class horses, which is not likely, ft is hardly to be expected that he willadd many large sums to his bank account during the remainder of the racing season.

LITCHFIELD, Ill., Aug. 12.—Litchfield will have no new school building this year, notwithstanding the bonds were recently votedin favor of by the citizens of this school district. The district is now taxed to the constitutional limit, and cannot, there- fore, issue the bonds necessary. This is not caused by high taxation, but by low valuation. The as- sessed valuationin 1890, whenthe bonds were re- funded, was $600,000, while this year it is but $550,000. Other parts of the county have been as- sessed too lowand the property inthis district was equalized to correspond with those valuations. This leaves the First Ward in a serious condition,as there are about 1,000 more school children than the ward has facilities for accommodating. The Planete Mills are running full time now.

Whatever is tainted to the slightest degree is abhorrent to the human stomach—whether it be water, baking powder, meat or any- thingeise. While discussing the subject of water, why take any chance on tainted water? You can obtain Hygeia spring water, which is, without question, free from taints of allKinds. It is a delightful table water, and where once used is the standard table water for all St. Louis familles. Killed by a Train.

The Recent Act of Congress Enforced by the Government at St. Louis. This morning Col. Churchill, Custodian of the Federal Bulidings at St. Louis, received instructions to enforce the eight hour law in his jurisdiction. Thejobis not of extreme difficulty as the only persons not already under the eight hour umbrella are the elevator men. The only trouble in the matter is regarding the elevator service, The public require, at least, ten hours of elevator work, and Col. Churchill solves the difficulty by cutting down the Ninth street elevator to six hours and running the Eighth street elevator ten hours. By shifting the Ninth street men over to Eighth street two hours a dally aver- age of eight hours work 1s reached. This ac- tion is necessary under the law of Aug. 1 last to limit the hours of labor of workmen in the Pistrict of Columbia and on public buildings in the United States. This act is very sweeping. It is construed to forbid any part who has any contract with the Government to finish work on any public bullding in this country from working his men more than elght hours. An instance of how strictly it is being enforced was devel- oped in acase which recently arose. Some repaving became necessary to the wagon ap- proach on Locust street. A requisition to have it done was approved by the Depart- ment, but although the whole job wiill amount to but $10, the Department adds the proviso that the men who do it must not work over eight hours a day on the job. The national law on the gubject is very clear in limiting government work ofall kinds to eight hours’ labora day. Henry Irving is fond of relatinga little in- cident that occurred to him when in a Dor- setshire village last summer. Whilst pass- ing a group of children one of them eyed him so sharply that the actor said: ‘‘Well, little girl, do you know me?’’ ‘‘Yes,sir,’’ was the reply; ‘*you are one‘ of “*Beecham’s Pills.’’ ’ She had seen his face in one of their adver- tisements. Dr. Heussy’s Testimony. The inquest on the remains of Mrs. Primm, who died apparently from the effects of mal- practice attending child birth, was continued late yesterday afternoon. Dr. T. Heussy, the physician against whom the midwife, Mrs. Kessling, made such serious charges, gave his testimony. He madaea long state- ment, throwing the Dilame onthe midwilife. He said that when he was called the patient was suffering with a severe hemorrhage. This he checked and left word that if started again to call him. Continuing he said that after he left the house the midwife removed the bandages and soon had the patient in a dying condition. When he went to the house after this was done, Mrs. Kess- ling, he said, told him that she was manag- ing the case and did not need any interfer- ence from him, Lowest- Priced House in America for fine DIAMONDS.

The weakmess that developed yesterday showed no ebatemient this morning. One of the principal de- pressing factors was the further decline in silver that exerted an untavorable effect upon all domestic mar- kets. Foreign markets were also lower,the first cables voting Liverpool @1d tower and London 34 off. The Michigan State report, announcing 55 per cent of old wheat still in farmers’ hands, was a weak- ener, and continued heavy receipts added to the de- ression. Clearances for the seaboard continued fiberai—from four ports 35,000 pkgs flour and 373,- ba wheat—but no fresh export business was eard of at the seaboard and the private cables, pepoeany from the Continent, were very bearish in ton The latest public cables were %e@1ld lower for Liverpool and Sg@ltyc for Paris and the markets this side the water were heavy and lethargic, clos- ing near the bottom.

RIOTING MINERS SENTENCED, Legal Proceedings Ende4 in the Idaho La- bor Troubles. ’ BorsE Crry, Idaho, Aug. 12.—The names of the men held and their terms of tmprison- ment under Judge Beattie’s decision yester- Gay are as foliows: Thomas Eaton, John Fitz- gerald, Dan Harrington, Hugh McGee, John Nicholson,Gus Peterson and Thomas Whalen, each six months; P. Robinson, four months, ond Joseph Paynton, eight months. It is un- derstood an appeal will be taken and that an application fora writof habeas corpus will immediately be made to Justice Fiela. Judge Beattie in rendering his decision passed upon several interesting points. He said that the question of diverse citizenship could have been raised in the original proceed- ings. it had not been so raised the restraining order had been issued with no such showing before the courts, and that the order partook of the nature ofa criminal statute, violations of which are tried by the Federal courts without regard to the citizenship of parties. On question of service the court sald that {t Was not essen- tial that each party should be served. It was only necessary that they should know that an injunction had been issued. Neither was itnecessary that the parties should have been named in the restraining order, that order having been issued against the Miners’ Union, their aiders and abettors. Judge Beattie stated that labor organiza- tions were entirely lawful in the abstract, but that the lawful character of a particular or- ganization must be measured by its acts and not by its by-laws and constitution. The acts of the Ooeur @’Alene miners’ unions showed that they were of unlawful charac- ter. Astrict interpolation of the law would render each member Hable for the acts of organizations, and, said the Court, there is no doubt that under: this well defined prin- ciple oflaw Icould hold all the defendants who are members of the union. I will not, however, apply that rule, but will endeavor to determine the connection of each of these respondents with occurrences at the ’Frisco and Gem on July 11.

N., Aug. 11.—There is much talk goingon inregard tothe wheat crop. The report was started that insects were working at grain and killing itoff rapidly in places. The cry lias been taken up generally, the Government Bureau corroborages. President Stockbridge of the Agricultural College has been investigating wheat in this vicinity and finds that the pest has been killed in some localities. Generally only very small spots are found to be infected, but on one ortwo farms insects have already de- stroyed considerable. As harvestis close at hand itis not thought the pest can destroy any great percentage in the infected dis- tricts, while most of the wheat region is not affected at all. While the crop in the Red River Valley will be only about 75 per cent of last year, it will be of good grade, while last year was a third off grade. re CLEAN, CHEAP EUEL. PITTSBURG CRUSHED COKE.

San ANTONIO, Tex., Aug. 12.—Abundant ains continue to fall over the Southwest Tex- as district and the suffering among sfock has been relieved. Crops have also been greatly Denefited. Many farmers in the’ drought- stricken district planted in July, and with late fall reins will make good crops, Recent rains through Mextco enhance the prospects of flne crops in that Republic and the importation of American corn will soon be discontinued, Some fear that with the present contracts the Mexican markets may be overstocked.. This wilt leave ‘Tex- as practically without a markei for its enormous corn crops and cattlemen are pre- paring to feed large quantities of beef cattle with 20 and 25 cent corn. Never in the his- tory of Texas has she raised such a corn crop and many iarmers are now beginrging to con- tract their crops while they can get from 25 to 40 cents per bushel. ee — / Pianos for Rent. .
