4 , Trades Unions Will Insist on the City - Ordinance’s Enforcement. STATEMENT OF THE LEGISLATIVE COM- MITTEE OF THE LABOR UNIONS. They Charge That the Law Providing "hat Eight Hours Constitute a Day’s Work on All City Contracts Is Being Violated by Contractors—The Alleged Oftenders. f Uniess something entirely unforeseen pre- vents, Mr. Percy Pepoon and other mem- bers of the Legislative Committee of the Trades and Labor Union will visit the City Hall late this afternoon and lay before who- ever happens to be Mayor, a demand for the enforcement of the ordinance limiting work under contract with the city of St. Louis to eight hours a day for labor. This ordinance was approved Dec. 2 last, and it is believed that nota single contractor has made any pretense of obeying its provisions, except, possibly on the new City Hall, and itis certain thatthere have been no steps to enforce it. Asthelaw was passed atthe solicitation of trades unionists, they pro- pose now to getthe ordinance enforced. Their allegations are as follows: THEIR CHARGES. TRADES AND LABOR UNION OF 8T. LOUIS AND VICINITY, St. Lovis, Aug. 13, 1892. To the Honorable, the Mayor of the City of St. Louis: Sitr—It has been brought to the attention of the Trades and Labor Union of St. Louis and vicinity that the ordinance requiring that eight hours shall constitute adav’s work on all contract work done for the city, has been continuously violated in street improvement work by all contractors. The ordi- nance is as follows: **20,932—16,514.—An ordinance regulating work done under contract with the city of St. Louis: **Be it ordained by the Municipal Assembly of the city of St. Louis as follows: ‘Sec. 1. All contracts hereafter entered into wherein the city of St. Louis is a party, for the voting of any kind of work or labor for the city of St. Louis, including work on all public buildings. works and enterprises, shall contain the following terms and conditions: (a) That the apse, peseone and labor- ers who may be employed in the doing, prosecuting or accomplishment of such work done by the con- tractor with the city of &t. Louis, or any one under him, or any person controllingthe said men, per- eons or laborers shall not be required to work more than eight hours a day. hat in case of the violation Oo suc Mayor shall immediately contracts cancelled and forfeited, and the work ing done shall be relet in the manner provided for the letting of such work; and such contractor shall thereafter be ineligible to bid upon such work under such reietting; and the difference in the cost of do- ing such work nnder such contract so cancelled and jorfeited, and under such reletting, shall be sued .foron the bond of such contractor so violating such ' contract. ‘*Approved Dec. 2, 1891.’’ The undersigned, conmmaaing the Legislative Committee of the Trades and Labor Union, hereby charge that the foregoing ordinance has been vio- Jated by the following contractors on the specified dates on work being done at the places stated by said contractors requiring laborers to work more than eight hours a day: Fletcher & Higgins, contractors, work on Manches- ter road, between Grand and Clayton avenues; or- dinance violated Aug. 8, 1892.

Mr. Pepoon says thatthe proceedings will probably be about as follows: The Mayor will notify the parties interested of the charges, witha citation to appear and show cause why the contracts should not be forfeited; and the committee will be on hand with its evidence, and it is confident of being able to present such proof that the Mayor will have no excuse for not deciaring the forfeiture. If he overrules the forfeiture the committee will most assuredly know the reason why. Mr. Pepoon says that this ts but a ‘‘starter;’’ the committee is ‘‘gunning’’ for other con- tractors and in due season will give the Mayor another installment of the same char acter. Steinway Pianos.

New York, Aug. 18.—The first official test of the ten-inch disappearing pneumatic gun carriage was made at the United States proving grounds at Sandy Hook, The tests were made under the supervision of the Board of Ordnance and Fortifications. They were directed by Capt. Frank Heath, in charge of the proving grounds, assisted by Lieut. Wheeler of the Ordnance Department. At 11:30 the first shot was fired. The gun isa breech-loader of high power, 29 feet in length, weighs thirty tons and fires a pro- ectile weighing 575 pounds. The gun s connected with the carriage by two pow- erful arms and when raisedto afiring posi- tion is ata height of elght feet above the car- riage.

The time required to bringthe gun cdown to the buffers was one minute and fif- teen seconds. ‘he second shot was fired at 1:57 o’clock at an elevation of 382 deg. The projectile contained fifty pounds of powder, a service charge such as is used intime of war. At an elevation of 20 deg. the projectile splasned the sea nine miles away. When the gun recoiled itcame within two inches of the buffers, and in less than ten seconds had sunk poutly on the buffers into loading position. It is with a charge like this that the carriage is supposed to work per- fectiy. This was the highest elevation fired from any Carriage with the new high- er guninthis country.

SECRETARY SPAULDING RETURNED. Views Concern ng Our Immigyant Inspec- tion Laws. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 13.—Assistant Secretary Spaulding, who has just returned from a visit to Europe, resumed his duties at the Treasury Department yesterday. He said he had visited London, Liverpool, Ant- werp, Rotterdam, Hamburg and Bremen and obtained much valuable information in re- gard tothe immigration service. He was much pleased with the system of inspection of immigrants at the ports named, and especially with the precautions taken against the introduction ofcontagious diseases. The principal transatlantic steamship com- panies, he said, put all their steer- age passengers through a thorough cleansing process before allowing them on the vessels. Not only are the immigrants compelled to take a bath in tanks specially provided forthe purpose, but they are also compelled tosubmit their clothing and ef- fects to a. thorough disinfection. Gen, | Spaulding said he was satisfied that the reg- | ular steamship companies are c)-operating effectively with the immigrant authorities in their efforts to Keep out all classes of unde- | Sirable immigrants, and that they are es- pecially Vigilant at present to pre- (vent shipment of persons or goods from all the cholera infected dis- tricts. In Gen. Spaulding’s opinion the principal obstacle tothe enforcement of the | immigration laws is the tramp steamers, and it will be his constant endeavor, he said, to bring this class of vessels under the same System ofinspection at the foreign ports as that practiced by the regular passenger steamers. He thought existing laws were sufficient for the purpose, and he proposed to prepare regulations at once with a view of remedying existing evils sofar as possible. Gen, Spaulding said he had devoted his en- tire time to the study of the immigration question, and had had no time for considera- tion of the other matters he had originally in- tended to investigate. $5—Put-in-Bay and Return—$5.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1%.—The steady decline in the price of silver has beenthe subject of all manner oftalk proand con on Wall street for months past and yesterday it wasre- newed with vigor. Henry Clews, on the Silver question, said: ‘*The recent depre- ciation in silver is largely the result of manipulation and bear attack for the pur- pose of producing an effect upon values and products as well as stocks. It serves no good purpose, therefore, for silver to be dealt in on the New York Stock Exchange at the present time, especially when such re- sults are aimed atand are soeasy of accom- plishment. Duringthe war gold was orig- inally dealt in on the New York stock Ex- change and it was moved upand down most erratically for speculative purposes. ‘The patriotism and it was stricken from the list and the dealings prohibited. The same should be dofie now with regard to silver, for the white metal now occupies the same position at the Exchange in its dealings as did gold during the war period.’’ PITTSBURG CRUSHED COKE, Investigate it before buying your fuel; save 80 percent.

David Bushnell of Connecticut is believed to be the first tosuggest an attack on ships by applying to their submerged parts a magazine of powder, which when ex- ploded by devices contrived for the purpose should disable or destroy them. Bushnell may also be said to have origi- nated a plan for submarine navigation, in pursuance of which he constructed the first submarine boat capable of locomotion of Baker Boat Under Water. which there.is any accurate record. In its application asa means of warfare he must have entire credit for originality. The external shape of his submarinecraft, invented during the Revolutionary war, bore some resemblance to two upper tortolse shells of equal size joined together, the en- trance to the vessel being represented by the openings made by the swell of the shells at the head of the animal. The inside was ca- pable of containing the operator and air suf- ficient to support him thirty minutes without necessitating afresh supply being obtained. At the bottom opposite the entrance was fixed a quantity of lead for ballast; at one edge, which was directly before the operator, the force -of | lained to hin: e important experiments, refiected for some time and then said: ‘‘Pitt was the greatest fool that ever existed to encourage a mode of war which they who commanded the seas did not want, and which, if successful, would deprive them of it.’’ In the 1812 war a torpedo boat was built upon the plans of an ingenious gentleman named Berrian, and sent to destroy one of the English war vessels. It unfortunately | happened that while proceeding to the ex- pected scene of action she was accidentally run ashore, The enemy, being at hand, manned his boats to destroy her, which was anticipated by her crew, who removed the motive power and blew the boat up. She resembled a turtle floating just above the surface of the water and was sufficiently roomy tocarry nine persons within, having on her back a coat of mail, consisting of three large bombs which could be dis- charged by machinery &0 as to bid deflance to any attack by barges. At one end of the boat projected a long pole under water with a torpedo fastened to it, which, as she ap- proached the enemy in the night, was to be poked under the bottom and there exploded. The idea of the submarine boat, which met with such want of encouragement and with censure from the Governments of the United States, France and England, found ready champions among the Confederates, who, satisfied of its usefulness by experiments, seized upon it without a moment’s hesita- tion. They notonly fitted every description of vesselin their service with torpedo appa- ratus, in addition to their regular arma- ments, but they constructed boats especially designed to attack the blockading vessels un- der cover of darkness. These vessels were bullt of bolier tron, and were of the form known as ‘‘cigar shape.’’ They presented but a very small target above the water, but were usually clumsy and dan- gerovs craftina seaway. Under full steam they could attain a speed of seven knots per hour. The name David was given to the first ofthis form of craft, likening her to the David of holy writ, who, with his sling- shot, slew Goliath. The name was used as’ a generic title for all such craft. Lookouts were doubled aboard the block- ading vessels in consequence of the prowlings about of these dreaded craft, which could hardly be seen before the dreaded torpedoes were exploded right alongside, Chain cables were ready for slipping and high | steam carried at night, so that the ships The Tuck Torpedo. Boat. was an oar for rowing At the other edge wasa who sat upright, ahead or astern. rudder. An aperture at the bottom, withits valve, was designed to admit water for the purpose of making the boat sink, two brass forcing pumps serving to eject the water. At the top there was likewise an oar for ascending, Gescendiing or continuing at a certain depth. A water-xauge or barometer determined the depth of descent and a compass marked with phosphorus directed the course. Fresh air introduced through a ventilator expelled the impure air through another pipe. soth air- pipes shut tnemselves when- near their tops, s0 that no water could enter through them. They opened themselves immediately after they rose above the water. About two hundred pounds of lead ballast was so arranged that it could be let down forty or fifty feet below the vessel, thereby enabling the operator to rise instantly to the surface of the water in case of accident. Inthe fore part of the vessel wasa socket having ap iron tube passing throughit. The tube stood upright, and could slide up and agown six inches. At the-top of the tube was a wood screw, fixed by means of arod. By pushing the wood screw up against the bot- tomof the ship attacked and turning it at the same time it would enter the planking. Above the vessel’s rudder was a place for holding 150 pounds of powder, with theap- paratus used in firingit. A rope connected the wood screw tothis magazine. When the wood screw was fixed and cast off from tts tube the magazine was likewise cast off and left hanging to the screw. FIRED BY CLOCKWORK, The magazine was lighter than water, that it might rise against the oDject to which the screw and itself were;fastened. Within it was a clock, constructed to run any proposed length of time under twelve hours. When it had run out its time it unpinioned a strong lock, resembling a gun-lock, which fired the charge. This apparatus was so pinioned that it could not possibly move till, by casting off the magazine from the vessel, it was set in motion, The skillful operator could swim so low on the surface as to approach very near a ship in the night without fear of being discovered, and might, if he chose, approach the stem or stern with very little danger. He could sink any necessary depth and row a great distanceinany direction without coming to the surface. When he rose to the surface he could soon obtain a supply of fresh air, and, if necessary he might then descend and pursue his course. White the British fleet was at anchor in New York Bay in i777, Bushnell’s boat made several attempts to blow up various men-of- war. The boat.was successfully steered un- derone of the ships, but the wood-screw struck against an iron Dolt, Not being well skilled in the management of the boat the operator in attempting to move toa softer spot lost the ship, and after seeking her in vain for some time rowed some distance and rose tothe surface, but found daylight had advanced sofar that he did not dare renew the attempt. PIPE BouL.tR could move pt speed on the instant of sight- ing any suspicious object moving in the water. Boats rowed ‘‘guard’’ about the ships at anchor, while steam tugs were at- tached to each squadron in great numbers and detailed to guard the frigates and iron- clads by steaming slowly about and running down any suspicious looking object observed in the vicinity. When at all practicable, booms, nets and other devices were used as additional protection. Notwithstanding all these precautions sey- eral of our vessels were blown up, notably the Housatonic, which sank within two min- utes after the explosion took place. The David that did this work never returned to port, but was supposed to have been sub- merged by the disturbed water caused by the explosion or carried down with her huge an- tagonist. The torpedo boat was thirty-five feet long, manned by nine men, eight of whom worked the propeller by hand. She first visit to that pe Subsequently she was engaged in re ng obstructions in the rivers by blowing them up with her torpe- does. The first manin recent years to make any stir in the port of New York with a submarine boat was Mr. John Holland, an enthusiast on the subject. When he began bullding it was about the time of the Fenian scare’ and he was accused of having designs upon British commerce—reports entirely without founda- tion. Dynamite gunsand pneumatic power were then baing talked about and submarine boats using compressed air fitted in very well with this idea. Petroleum gas instead of steam was also being experimented with and it was Daturalto suppose that such a motor would easily be adapted to propelling a sub- marine boat. wang yo a d a& wooden hull of a spindle shape, fifty feet long and eight feet in diame- ter, Was constructed and provided with a motor. On de¢k amidships was a small turret having glass bull’s-eyes for the pilot to looK through. There were chambers in the bottom of the boat through which water could be admitted to sink her until her turret was just awash. Then the motor was to started, andas she went ahead horizontal fins at the stern were to be tilted so as to elevate the stern and depress the bow, and so force her under water; or she could be wholly sunk by admitting more water. In the experiments made at Fort Hamilton the boat attained a speed of nine miles on the surface and was frequently sunk and raisedto thesurface of the water with her crew on board. Considering that the motor was an old one built for another purpose, and not particularly well adapted to this purpose, the speed was very encouraging. Other methods of getting the torpedo against the enemy’sship than the dynamite gun were contemplated, but none was tried. A torpedo boat that was not cigar-shaped was invented by J. L. Tuck and bulit itn this city. It was 30 feet long, 74e wide and 6 deep. It carried storage batteries for power and had a very interesting method of control. There was a well-hole on top amidships, with a cover and door leading from it in the hold. The pilot went from the hold into this well- hole dressed in a diver’s suit, connecting his suit withthe holdso that he could get air. Then he shut the door and let in water till the well-hole was full. He then tpok off the hole cover, and, grasping the tiller chains, pressed a button and started the craft. A torpedo was carried at each end of the boat and it was supposed to be firmly attached to the og of the enemy’s iron hulls by mag- nets. Mr. Nordenfelat first began his experiments with submarine boats in 1880, and in 1885 had got on well enough to give an exhibition of the power of the boat at Copenhagen in the presence of the King and Queen of Denmark and the Prince of Wales. His boat had three separate steam-engines,. One worked the screw propellerand the other two worked propellers placed horizontally on each side amidships. To sink this boat water was ad- mitted to chambers prepared for the purpose until the boat had but 100 pounds buoyancy. Thenthe side propellers were started and their action sank the boat. One novel device wasa pendulum which so controlled the horizontal propellers and fins thatany tendency torollor pitch from an even Keel was prevented. Another device so controlled the horizontal propellers that on reaching any required depth no further downward progress could be made. When ready to attack an enemy acap was dropped off the bow and a torpedo was fired out, The Waddington boat is one of the smallest submarine boats ever constructed for actual service. The central chamber is occupied by two men and carries buta six hours’ supply ofair. The crew enters through a low turret inthetop, which is provided with bull’s- eyes. The boat is driven by a screw pro- peller, turned by electricity from forty-five storage batteries, which are placed in the central compartment. There is enough power to run the boat ten hoursateight miles an hour on the surface. She is sunk by screws working on vertical axes, which, when reversed, tend towards raising her. RUNNING PAST THE LOOKOUTS. The French boat Gymnote tis shaped likea Whitehead torpedo, is 59 feet longand 5 feet ll inches in diameter. It hastwo horizontal rudders worked by hydrostatic pressure, or at will, and two vertical rudders worked by the usualappliances. The power is electric ity. which steers, propels and lights the boat. The propeller ts four-bladed and the shaft connects directly with the armature of the motor. The estimated speed is ten knots for six hours. —EE ae v Torpedo Boat—The Peace-Maker. could be submerged to any desired depth or could be propelled on the surface. It was intended that she should approach any vessel lying at anchor, pass under her keel and drag a floating torpedo, which would explode on striking tbe side or bottom of the shipattacked. She could remain submerged for half an hour. without inconventence to hercrew. Soonatter she was ready for ser- vice, and while being prepared for an attack upon the Federal fleet, she was sunk by the swell ofa passing steamer, and all hands, with the exception of Lieut. Paine, her com- manding officer, were drowned. REMARKABLE CAREER OF A ‘‘DAVID.”’ She was raised and again made ready for service. While waiting for a favorable op- portunity to goouton her mission she cap- sized and again sank in deep water, drown- ing all except her commander and two others. Being again raised and prepared for action, one of her constructors made an ex- perimental cruise in her in the Cooper River. While submerged at great depth from some unknown cause she became unmanacgeable and remained for many days at the bottom of the river with her crew of dead men. A fourth time she was prepared for service and Lieut. Dixon, with eight others, attacked and sank the Housatonic. Her mission at last accomplished, she disappeared forever with her crew. The nearest approach to a complete tor- pedo-boat in the days of the civil war or shortly after that period was thecraft de- signed by Engineers Woods and Lay of the navy, yelept the Spuyten Duyviil. Unfor- tunately, she was notcompleted until the time for testing her powers in actual service had passed, but there was no doubt she was the most formidable engine of destruction for naval warfare that had up to that time come before the public. She was 84 feet 2inchesin length, 20 feet 8 inches in breadth and nearly 10 feet deep. She disolaces 207 tons and had five inches of armor plating on her sides and pilot-house Plan of the Baker Submarine Boat. adrift the magazine, whieh set the internal apparatus running and resulted in a harm- less explosion off the end of Governor’s Island. In 1802 Fulton, of steamboat fame, madea boat for under-water navigation, capacious enough to contain eight men and provisions for twenty cays, and with strength sufficient to plunge 100 feet under water if necessary. The reservoir of air enabled the crew to re- main under water for eight hours. When the boat was above the water it had two sails and looked not unlike a common sailboat. When about to dive the masts and sails were struck. In making his experiments Fulton not only remained a whole hour under water with three companions, but kept the boat parallel with the surface at any given depth. He proved that the compass points as cor- rectly under water as On the surface. The boat made way. at the rate of half a league an hour by means contrived for the purpose. Alter comsiderable experimenting Fulton went to France, but not obtaining the coun: tenance and ssistance he needed to demon- strate the value of his system and put it into practical operation, he went over to England and proceeded at once to lay his lunging-boat scheme before the British Mr. Pitts, tnen Prime Minister of England, was greatly impressed with the importance of the proposed system and exclaimed when and three incheson ber deck. In the bow was an opening ccmmunicating with an air and water tight chamber, which was opened and closed by a silding Sluice valve. A panel was so arranged that it controlled the work- ing of a ratchet wheel, Which in turn worked the sluice valve. Waterthat entered through the valve and was confined in the chamber could be pumped out In three seconds. As the vessel approached the enemy the sinking tanks were to be filled, so as to sub- merge her further into the water and thus present as small a tar et to the enemy’s fire as possible. Having etermined the angle at which it was desirable to submerge the tor- pedo, which was at the endof an operatin bar, the gear controlling it was so arrange that when the time came the torpedo could be rigged out to its proper position without delay. FIRING BY BEBOTRICITY. Improvements were © upon the origi- nal invention py which the operation was greatly simplifie and rendered much more Certain in its effects without the slightest risk of the vessel being ‘‘hoist by her own tard,’’ the danget WHICH was the chief ob- ection to the Spuyten fan MA whose forward motion had to cease before the torpedo spar could be o ted and the torpedo exploded. The torpedo itself Was so im roved that it Sica ena oa Ph ‘occasion of nig 7 A series of experiments was made to ascer- tain whether the boat could escape from and re-enter a harbor blockaded by torpedo boats which were on the look-out for her. At. the appointed hour she went down for forty minutes, during which time she crossed the line without being observed and came to the surface two milesanda half beyondit. In returning she passed Immediately under one of the boats and was seen foran instant, but not distinctly enough to be pursued. The Goubet, another French boat, hasa hullof cannon bronze made in on casting which weighed five tons. Oxygen, com- pressed at a pressure of seventyatmospheres, is supplied for breathing. Her crew of two men was hermetically sealed in the hull for eight hours, the boat beine submerged toa depth of thirty-three feet, and the only com- munication with the surface being telephonic. At the end of the time the men were found to have experienced no discomfort. Since that time naval officers have frequently been sent downto famillarize them with the mysteries of submarine navigation. The Spanish boat Peral 1s one of the best Known of the torpedo boats for sub-surface work. Electricity on the storage battery principle is what she depends upon for all purposes. She carries sufficient air to enable hercrew to remain under water two days and has a device, similar toa camera lucida, for purposes of observation when running near the surface. This boat involves no new principles, hardly fulfills the conditions promised by its designer and throws but lit- tle light upon the questiom of submarine navigation. The Peacemaker, experimented with in the Hudson River some six years ago, was in many instances an improvement over num- bers of similar craft of earlier make. She had a pair of horizontal rudders at her bow for submerging her. When in rapid motion, the moment her engines stopped she rose to the surface.

New Buildings Completed and Ready for the Ovening. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 12.—Forthe first time for two years the naval war college at Newport willbe open again Sept, 1 next, the new buildings having been completed and put in order for the reception of officers who will be ordered there for a course of instruction. Under Capt. Mahan, its new President, extensive preparations are being made to give many of our new ships speedy and tactical trials, torpedo and boat drill, conjunction with the presence the new class of officers, and it is now practically settled that all of the ships of the North Atlantic squadron will be present to take partin the drills and evolutions. The Vesu- vius and Chasing will also be speeded overa course, and they will also be given trials in tacticai operations. It is the intention of the department to have nearly all the vessels in the vicinity of the New York navy yard par- ticipate inthe drills, so that their officers may have atthe same time the benefit of the course of instructions: given in torpedo and strategic drills at the college. While the future movements of the squadron under Admiral Gherarai are still somewhat a matter of speculation, it is likely the ships will remain at Bar Harbor for some days longer, and then proceed to Newport to take partinthe opening of the war college and the subsequent drills. While it is not yet settled, the white squadron will probably later on be merged into the North Atlantic squadron under command of Rear Admiral Gherardi, and in that event Admiral Walker, whose three years’ term of sea service has about expired, will be detached and given shore duty. The Navy Department has come to the con- clusion that the costof issuing the semi- annual Naval Register is too great to warrant its publication. So instead of the regular July edition this year, there is issued a pam- phiet giving a tabulated statement of the ap- pointments, promotions, resignations, re- tirements, deaths and discharges occurring since Jan. 1. This statement shows that during the first six monthsof the year six appointments from civil life were made in the medical corps, five in the pay corps, two chaplains, one professor of mathematics, two gunnersand one bureau appointment, Lieut. Lemly to be Judge Advocate General. There was only one promotion to the grade of Rear Admiral, twoto be Commodores, seven Lieutenant Commanders and several pro- motions to the lower grades, including the appointment of all the final graduating class of navaicadets. During the seme period, five officers resigned from the service, five on the active list died and twenty-three were retired. There was only one dismissal, that of a cadet, andtwo were honorably dis- charged. ‘ MISSOURI MATTERS. of Personal Notes and General News From Interior Cities.

STEPS TAKEN TO NOMINATE A CANDI DATE AGAINST BARTHOLDT. The Committee Effects a Reorganization, Hears a Number of Spesches and Selects a Conference Committee—Dem- ocratic Situation in the fecond Dis- trict—The Gresham Matter. The Democratic Congressional Committee of the new Tenth District met at Union Park Hall, Ninth and Allen avenue, this morning, and effected an organization by electing William F. Broadhead of St. Louls Oounty Chairman and John K. Stansbury of the Eleventh Ward, St. Louis, Secretary. The committee had to effect a reorganization ow- ing tothe change madeinthe boundaries of the district by the management of the lines, When the meeting opened shortly before il o’clock Mr. Broadhead explained that he had taken the initiative in calling the committeemen together for the purposeof discussing the situation and taking steps towards securing areorganization. He felt it was the duty of the Democrats of the Tenth District to keep up the Congressional organization and to enter in the race with a strong candidate and a deliberation, to win, despite the large adverse majority. A roll call showed that Franklin and St. Louls counties and the St. Louls wards were all represented elther by members in person or by proxy. When the permanent organization was made Louts Schrempp was elected to fillthe vacancy in the Thirteenth Ward caused by the death of Daniel Glock. A discussion then enued which lasted until after 12 o’clock. Speeches were made by Ira C. Terry, Alexander N. De Menil, Capt. McKinney of St. Louis County and Commit- teeman nope ienes of Franklin County. The speakers generally agreed thatit would be proceed too hastily to call the convention. They all spoke of the large Republican majority inthe district, and how necessary it wasfor the minority party to act cautiously. SENATOR MILLER’S CHANCES. They all referred to the advisa- bility of getting a representative of some other party outside the Republican ranks who might be indorsed. Befure the meeting opened there was a well- authenticated report that State Senator Owen Miller, the leader of the Musicians’ Union, would get the third party nomination and that he would not object toa Democratic indorsement. The labor organizations are considered all powerfulinthe southern end of the city, and Senator Miller’s friends think that the Democratsand Third party voters can muster sufficient strength to stranele Editor ktichard Bartholdt’s Congressional as- pirations. The Republican majority in the district is estimated all the way from 8,000 to ,000. When nearly every committeeman had had his say a committee consisting of Charles Costello of Florissant, Dr. Dunnigan, Frank- in County,A. N. De,ienll and Joseph Murphy of St. Louis City were appointed with Chair- man Broadhead, an ex-officio member, to consider the situation and makea report at another meeting which will be dina week or two. When the special committee presents its report steps will be taken to call aprimary election forthe election of dele- gates. Sent for Gresh2m’s Letter. To satisfy himself thoroughly H. E. Taube- neck, Chairman of the National Executive Committee of the People’s party, has written aletterto Secretary Stoll of the State Com- mittee of Indiana requesting him to forward to the national headquarters at once the let- ter received by him from Judge Gresham, in which he signified his intention of stumping the State for Gen. Weaver and asked fora suitable date to fire off the opening gun at Indianapolis. The reason the request has been made is that Mr. Taubeneck re- ceived a letter last night from Indianapolis containing the information that Secretary Stoll had a pecullar tendency to exaggerate matters pertaining to politics and to satisfy himself is why Mr. Taubeneck has written for the original copy of the letter. Mr. Taubeneck is perfectly satisfied, however, that Mr. Stoll sent him the true contents of the letter, and states that if any further criti- cism is indulged in in regard to Judge Gresham’s intentions, that to satisfy the Republican party he will make public Judge Gresham’s letter to Gen. Weaver, written after the Omaha convention. Leverett Leonard’s Vote. H. L. Gray, Secretary of the Senate, was in the city last night at the Laclede. Mr. Gray is a personal friend of Ley- erett Leonard, the People’s party can- didate for Governor of Missourl, who resides in the same section of the State. Mr. Gray states that Mr. Leonard wili be unable to carry his own county, Saline, and will poll but a complimentary vote in How- ard, Boone, Cooper, Audrain and ‘allaway Counties, the section of the State in which Mr. Leonard is best ac- quainted. Mr, Leonard, while representing the views of the People’s party, aid not seek the nomination of the Sedalia Convention, as before the convention was called to order Mr. Leonard requested a number of the party leaders not to bring his name up before the convention, ashe was not in a position to accept on account of his private business. After he received the nom- ination, however, he accepted and ina pri- vate conversation several weeks agohe re- marked that he would put in his full time in the interest of the party, if he nad to sell his large stock farm in Saline County.

He saVS that the story told by Louis Carl, the negro, was totally false, and attributes all the sensation over his disappearance to that story. He states that he had not been on aspree; that he went down the Mississippi with Rohan and O’Toole on a pleasure trip, and did not mention the contemplated trip to his rela- tives because he frequently went away on business without notifying them. He states also that he never wasa frequenter of Pooi Alley, and he exonerates Mr. Reno Beauvais, the book-maker, from all connection with his disappearance.

From the Chicago Herald. It is not infrequently charged that Ameri- cans are so sordid ip sentiment, so eager and absorbed in the pursult of material gain, that they are incapable of heroism or seit- sacrifice. The noblest daring recorded in verse or drama, in battle or mytho'ogy, does not sur- pass that shown in Incidents recorded in the dispatches of the Herald from thie flood dis. trict of lowa. Men did not hesitate to take the chances of losing their own lives for the saving of others, and a number have gone down in the deadly flood from whose peril they vainly sought to rescue women and chil- dren. It is not so hard forthe human spirit, full of emotion and stirred to extraordinary effort by sudden impulse on battlefield or in other scene of brilliant spectacle or maddening ex~ citement, to risk the loss of that which to eyery man is dearer than all else. It requires a sterner courage, a heart more deliberate in self-sacrifice to risk lire for others in a dis- mal river overflow, in rickety boat, with no skill against rushing waters, little endurance in the chill of furious blizzards. Compared with the glowing peans that have handed down uselezs feats of fantastic chivalry, such tales may be called onl dila idated epics. Poets rarely celebrate suc men. The conditions of their lives, the cir- cumstances of theirdeath, do not appeal to grandiose diction. Often thelr very names are unknown.

New Yorn, Aug. 13,—Capt. Thomas Simons of the dredge, Little Grant, that is anchored in the Sound just south of Point Morris Dock, Was very Serious yester- Gay. ‘*We shall hit it soon,’’ said he to his assistant. He bad been grappling day after day for something like $4,800,000 lost with the British ship Hussar, After the first plunge of the bucket about one cubic yard of mud was dumped on the grating. When the men began to sort and wash for treasure the Captain saw some- thing yellow glitteringin the sifting picked up. It was an English coin. It was ina state of perfect preservation and only a little blackenea by water. Half a dozen more were found, then two gold buttons from the uniform ofa British naval officer was what the next plunge of the bucket brought to- gether with a quantitv of copper coin. Capt. Simons’ weather beaten face relaxed and he smiled. ‘‘Weare right over the stuff iam quite certain,’’ said he, ‘‘andiI expect to have all of it very soon.’’ The bucket brought up two short square bars, tarnished and pitted by brine. On be- ing scraped they proved to be of pure white metal. Capt. Simons took them to a jeweler and they were pronounced sterling silver. *“*f guess we have got there,’’ said the Captain. That endedthe find of the day, but it es- tablished beyond doubt that Capt. Simons has located the lost Hussar and ber enor- mous treasure, and is perhaps on the threshold of great wealth for himselfand other members of the company. Thisisas far as known the only coin and precious metal ever recovered from the wreck except thirty guineas by a wrecking party in 1876. Should Capt. Simons recover $100,000 the profits of the company would be immense on the capital invested, but should he recover $1,000,000 or $4,000,000 the return will be enormous. Thereare ventures that paida thousand fold, bDutnone where in a short time over 400 times the investment has been realized. Inafew days Capt. Simons ex- pectsto have his submarine search-light in working order, It will be dropped to the bottom of the sound and Diver ‘ibbetts of Chelsea, Mass., will begin his exploration of the bottom. The depthisso great that Tib- betts will have to wear shoes with fifteen pounds of lead on each sole, besides wearing a belt weighted with 100 pounds of shot. At the depth of 90 feet, with all this weight, he will be able to walk upon the bottom with muchease. The hydraulic dredge doing the work, the prop- erty of Capt. simons, consists of a series of claws working upon the head of a piston witich is setin a cylinder. This forms the bucket which hangs upon a crane by two wire cables. When dredging this bucket Is dropped claws wide open to the bottom. Then through a hose the cylinder is pumped full of water, closing theclaws. So great is its power that it will rend heavy timbers. The little giant bucket has a capacity of one cubic yardof earth. It is worked froman ordinary float containing donkey and bolist- ing engines. Capt. Simons has acrew of twelve men, all from down East, like himself, and all ex- perienced wreckers. The people about Port Morris are firmly convinced that Capt.simons has found the wreck of the treasure ship. Every day crowds go to tha shore to geta view of the littie giant as she rocks and tumbles in the strong current. The im- pression seems to be, and perhaps is well- founded, that more gold coin and silver bars have been recovered than Capt. Simonsis ready totell. Atany rate when he exhibited the gold coin which he found toa WORLD re- porter yesterday he said that he would make some of the people about Port Morris open their eyes soon as his searchlight arrived. Then, said he, we expect to get to that part of the vessel where all the coin lies. The gold coin shown the WORLD reporter was about the circumference of an American eagle, but only about halfasthick. It had on one side the head of George III. and onthe obverse the seal of Great Britain. It hada milled edge very irregular and the date had been obliteratea. Treasure Heffernan’s Ficture Frames.

During allthe time that Mayor Noonan has been absent from his office, and Cyrus P. Walbridge, President of the Council, has been attending to the executive business of the city as Acting Mayor, the occupationof the fine-remitters has been gone. The law provides that all business of the Mayor’s office shall be done by the acting Mayor while the Mayor is absent, ana ail the stamps with ‘‘E. A. Noonan, Mayor,’’ on them have been useless to Se cre- tary James Brennan and his friends. When Mayor Noonan went to Johnstown three years agoand Acting Mayor Walbridge was in the @ffice, a stamp was made with ‘‘C. P. Walbridge, Acting Mayor,’’ on it. This re- mained in possession of the clerks when Mayor/Noonan returned. When President Walbridge took charge of the office a second time,a month ago, the first thing he did was to walk out Into the an- te-room where the Mayor’s clerks have their desks, and say, ‘*] would like you gentlemento be careful that no permit or order concerning the busi- ness of this office goes out of here without my signature.’’ Police Sargeant Alex. McGrewe, who {fs un- fortunately in a position where he is credited with a lot of things he knows nothing what- ever about and cannot defend himself, said simply, ‘* Yes, sir.’’ The Acting Mayor started to return to his office. and came back. ‘‘There’s a stamp here somewhere with my name on it.’’ **Yes, I believe so,’’ said the clerk. **Can you get it for me?’’ It was huntedup, and the Acting Mayor wrapped it up ina piece of paper and put it in his pocket. Since then every document that has gone out of the Mayor’s Office has borne the name ‘'O. P. Walbridge, Acting Moyor,’’ written on it witha steel pen and Diack ink. Mr. FEDERAL NEWS.

C, Crawford of this city and Miss Rosa May of Peoria, II1., aeronauts and parachute leapers, is likely to terminate in a match ascension for points. Mme. Crawford expresses herself especially desirous to make terms with Miss May, who made an ascensiun at the Fair Grounds last The points upon which the contest will be decided, according to Mme, Crawford and her manager, G. W. Richards, are as follows: Time consumed in filling balloon, height of ascension of balloon, height of Jump in parachute, length of time of balloon in the alr, and finally general points ofexcellence. Mme, Crawford Is pre- pared to makea‘‘smooth jump’’—that Is, cut away the parachute from the balloon when the latter tias reached its highest alti- tude. The parachute spreads out instantly and lets the @ronaut down easily. Butif itis desirable Mme. Crawford witl make a ‘‘cold jump.’’ This isa daring feat and consists in cutting loose the parachute when the balloon is in full filght upward. The parachute always drops 300 or 400 feet before it opens, and the aeronaut falls through this space iikeastone. Mr. Richards says that he and Mme. Crawford are anxious to make a match with Miss May in any manner, shape or form, but they would prefer to have the contest come off at some place, where both parties are unknown. As Mme. Crawford is known in St. Louis and has many friends he says she would not care to makethe trial with her rival here, for in case she was victorious injustice might be alleged. “The terms of the contest, satisfac- tory to Mme. Crawford are $200 aside and balioon against the balloon, the winner to take all the stakes and both balloons, Mme. Crawford claims thatthe so-called ring ascension made Dy Miss May is absolutely safe and as good as a life insurance policy. She alleges that Miss May had her limbs in rings which fastened withasnapatthe hips, whence a rope reached up and was fastened under the arins. Miss May was ihus placed in a com- fortable bed, with the cool, balmy air as a well Fastened in this manner, no aeronaut could fall even ifshetried, Mme, Crawford claims, She herselfis anxious to make an ascension on a trapeze bar, without rings, snaps, life lines or any other support but the muscles of the body. Mme. Crawford promises that she will make the long swinging drop and the single knee drop in the few moments that the balloon isclose enough to the earth to allow the people to observe her movemenis., When the balloon rises from _ the ground Mme, Crawford will be sus- pended from the plece: of gas-pipe which forms thetrapeze bar, She will then raise herself up by the muscles of her arms, and body untti she can lock her feet far up on the ropes of the trapeze. She will then free her hands of their hold on the bar and drop head foremost. Her feet will siip down to the bar, and hoid the ropes between the ankles and toes. In this perllous position with head toward the earih, arms free in alr and body attached to the trapeze ropes by her feet, Mme. Crawford agrees to ascend. When itistime to cut loose the parachute she willswing herself into a sitting position onthe bar, for no aeronaut could descend head first, she alleges, The single Knee drop consists in bringing one leg toward the body between the hands which hold the bar, then throw the leg over the bar and graspit with the bend of the knee. The hand holdisthen released and the body is then suspended by the single leg, thrown overthe bar. Mme.

The peti- tion relates that the men were ignorant and imposed upon by the would-be revolutionist leader, andin their confinement their fam- ilies are in destitution and without means of a livelihood in drouth-stricken regions; that these laws have never heretofore beep en- forced, notwithstanding that Diaz started almost the same as Garza, and likewise on American soll. The petition Is signed by the families of the Mexican residents of the American border now serving imprisonment under sentence in the federal courts. Greatly Exaggerated. HELMETTA, N. J., Aug. 13.—Dr,. H. D. Zan- del of this village says the reports of sickness here are grossly exaggerated.

M’VICKER’S THEATER, CHICAGO, ILL EE TIME FOR INTERFERENCE, Winchesters Resorted To by Rival Boats’ Crews. PrortA, Ill,, Aug. 13.—The passengers of the steamers City of Peoria and the Borealis Rex were thrown inroa terrible state of ex- citement to-day bya fight with Winchester rifles between the pilots of the respective boats. Onthe tripup theriver both boats were heavily loaded with passengers. After leaving the dock at Spring Bay the Rex at- tempted to pass the City of Peoria, but was run into the willows. Another attempt was made near Chillicothe, and the City of Peoria being the heavier boat threatened to run the Rex down. The passengers were terribly alarmed and the pilotof the Rex fired twice witha Winchester rifie at the Peoria pilot, who escaped by dropping tothe floor. Capt. York of the Peoria ran to the pllot house and changed the boat’s course just in time to avoid cutting the Rex in two. There has been bad biood between the men for some time. Kiver men are much excited over the shooting and say the war will notend until one of the boats is sunk or somebody Js killed. : Indianapolis Indorsed. CHICAGO, Aug. 13.—The George H. Thomas Post, G.

THE TURF, So many jockeys fall into such careless habits of negligence and indifference, lose their form, and ride so poor finishes that the demand for the services of the three leading jockeys of the country, Garrison, Taral and Fitzpatrick, becomes Keener and more eager every day, says an Eastern turf authority. Engagements are made with these three jockeys many weeks in advance of arace, and tremendous is the competition among owners and trainers to secure them for im- portant stakes. It is the greatest of pities week he will be as | and from his | that sofew American jockeys are to be de- pended upon to do consisient and commend- able work. Mostof them are in-and-outers ofthe worst sort in their riding. One day bulldand present appearance he will givea they may showa brilliant flash of achieve- ' good account of himself when he faces the little world beater, Dixon. Jack McAuliffe Is also locking well and feeling strong. His skin denotes a healthy condition and his eyes are brightandclear. He is now working off the flesh gained on his trip South, and Is tak- ingto his training better than in any of his former battles. AFTER AN OPPONENT FOR FITZSIMMONS, The Olympic Clubis determinedto geta match for ‘‘Bob’* Fitzsimmons. President Noel believes thatthe only way he can get some ofthe English champions to meet the lanky Australianis by sending over a fre- sponsible agent oftheclub, who shail be empowered to make such arrangements as he may deem necessary upon his arrival in Engiand. Capt. Williams willin ail proba- bility be sent to England by the club in Oc- tober to arliange a match for Fitzsimmons. PUGILISTIC POINTERS. Peter Jacksonis gatheringin the queen’s good shekels on his starring tour. Pritchard is a big favorite in the betting on the Pritchard-Hall mill. Charlie Mitchelland Frank Slavin will second the latter. Johnny Daly does not seem to beas anxious as it was expected he would be, to encounter Mike Mooney or ‘‘Dutch’’ Niel, both of whom it will be remembered announced their will- ingness to meet bim a short time ago. Andrew Marsden diedin England recently. He was Oneof the mediocre big ones who sprung into existence just as Jem Mace began to decline. His chief fights were with Big Ned O’ Baldwin (when he wasa novice) and Joe Wormald. He had livedin obscurity for ‘| a long time. Austin Gibbons having had his fare sent him will start for Engiandin a few days to box Stanton Abbott betore the National Sporting Club. If Abbott was licked on his merits by Fred Johnston it would look as though Austin hada nice dish of tapioca awaiting him in London. ‘*Dick’’ Burge, the English light-weight ugilist, ison his way here from England. fe is expectea toarrive next week.

Shout ‘Bully’ till’’ etc., etc. In other words let it be an- nounced with appropriate ceremony that the Browns have wona victory. Itcame at last after six long days of waiting, through which the dark clouds of defeat obscured the vis- ions of hope. But the pall has been rent and the bright sunlight of success streams down on the figure ofthe young southpaw twirler from the wilds of Butchertown, who §yester- day held down the Colonels to three small hits. It was his victory from start to finish. To him belongs the bay, the laurel, the cake or whatever other insignia are given to him who achieves wonders. Mr. Perry Werden, after a long and painful search, found his ancient enemy, ‘‘Spald- ing’s 942 ounce League,’’ and belabored him fearfully. Mr. Crooks, whose third base play during the past week bas been the color of parsnips, accepted nine chances without an error. Keepitup, Jack. The rest of the team put up an erroriess game, and added their share to a well-earned victory. The summary follows: st. Louis, 4; Louisville, 1. Base hits—St. Louis, 8; Louls- ville, 8. Errors—st.

Joe Ullman is managing the foreign book at Hawthorne Park, Chieago. ie Mike Donovan has added Misery to his Gloucester string. He purchased him from Jack Joyner, Eastern papers say that J. J. McCafferty’s horses go to the post in good condition, and run good, honest races. The winners at Garfield Park yesterday were Lucy Dilliard, My Partner, Fakir, Lo- renzo, Sly Lisbon and Ranier. An Eastern paper says that Fitzpatrick is one of a very few good judges of a horse, and that Dave Gideon now recognizes the fact. The races run over the Hawthorne course at Chicago yesterday were won by Mantell, Hart Wallace, Dud Hughes, Patrick and Horace Leland. Bookmaker, Lizzie B., Amos, All Ablaze, Zingara and Hettie were the winners at Glou- cester yesterday. The races run over the St. Paul course yes- terday were won by Clyde, St. Croix, Coro- at Forest, Sull Ross, Sarah C. and Bret arte. Cornie Buckingham, Gov. Ross, Sympa- thetic’s Last, Wild Rose and Charley Wilson were the winners at Overland Park, Denver, yesterday. John Morris is putting Azra and Bashford, the two he tried to win Western Derbys with, through hard paces with big expecta- tions at Saratoga. Larrissey, D. A. Honig & Son’s jockey, who came from the East several weeks ago to ride Honig & Son’s horses at the local tracks, has returned to Gloucester. **Guilty won, laughingly, by _a length,’’ saysamorning contemporary describing a race at the East Side track. No diagrams ac- com panied the scintillation. Jockey John Dempsey, who in the fifth race at Garfield Park Thursday fell from Fauntle- roy and was run over by half a dozen horses, died atthe County Hospital in Chicago yes- terday morning. Dan Honig, the St. Louls turfman, is quar- tered at Saratoga just at present. Alexander Ullman, President of the Kast St. Louis Jockey Club, is also located at the famous Empire State summer resort. Ullman is making a book at the Saratoga meeting. The Reaper, who was regarded by many during the spring as the best 2-year-old in the West and who, however, failed utterly to realize expectations in the East, has been brought back to this section 1gain. He made his first appearance yesterday at Hawthorne, winning the opening race. THE WHEEL. A novel question at present agitating British wheeimen (of vast interest to Amert- caps) isthe power of the stomach to digest food during long rides on track orroad. A cycling authority disagrees with one medl- cal man who urges the negative. ‘Is it not conceivable,’’ says the authority, ‘‘that men like Holbein, Mills or others have been given, or have acquired, the power of digesting, more or less completely, the food they take on their long trips? We can understand that during a period of tremendous ex- ertion the functions of cans may be suspended, butit is dificult to belleve that a manriding for twenty-four hours starves tor twenty-four hours. There are many gradations of exertion between | absolute rest and the hottest spurt, and the pointat which the vital function of diges- tion ceases will doubtless be found high up in the scale in our long-distance men. Otherwise, G. P. Mills, for example, must have starved for fiVe days less five hours when he rode from Land’s End to John-o’- Groat’s. With all due deference, we ' venture to submit the opinion that our best | long-distance riders are men whoare notin _ the habit of forcing themselves at top speed, | orofreaching the point at which digestion , ceases. Thatscienceisa most valuable as- Sistance in these matters is of course un- , doubted, and if to the greater or less capaci- ty of digesting food during what is in effect | gentile exercise is added the assistance of pre- | digested food, it may be that the coming race /May seeanew and still more startling de- velopment. The question is well worthy of consideration, our only point being that if it be admitted that Mills did assimilate food his five days’ journey, that riding the hour did assimilate at all, and that the steady tourist progressing at seven or elght miles an hour /does, insome degree, digest his food, then the splendid performances of our distance men are, we venture to think, due to the ca- | pacity inherited or acquired, of digesting | some portion, at least, of the nourishment | they take In the course of their long jour- neys.’”’ | There may be some truth in the above, says ,a Windy City wheel authority, but this ex- | periment was tried years ago by comparative | physiologists: Two hounds were fed, one was 'keptatrest, the other was put tocoursing |hares. At the end of three hours both were | Killed. The stomach ofthe hound that rested | was found perfectly empty, his meal being | thoroughly digested, while the stomach of the coursing hound was found full of undl- xested food, One fact is worth ten theories, THE LOCAL RIDERS. No regular club runs will be called for to- morrow, asallthe club members will go to Quincy this evening by the Gem City. At Quincy Hal Osborn and the other members of the Reception Committee have everything in readiness to royally receive and entertain the visitors. ‘ihe track on which the races will be run will be put In first-class shape, and is being sprinkled androlleddaily. The South Side Cycle Clubis making a desper- ate effort to capture the prize for the largest and best uniformed club present. New uniforms and caps will be worn, and the club’s banner willalso make its first appearance in public, Letters from Quincy state thatall their streets and roads are in splendid condition for cycling just now, and for those who wishto make along run,a visit to Canton is being arranged. Quincy has some good hills that have tested the abilities of hill-climbers on former visits, and among the steepest isthe hill leading from the steamboat landing up intothe city. It is considered quite a feat to surmount it on the first trial. PECULIARITIES OF THE CRACKS. The pecullarities of some of the cracks are worth noticing. Murphy has never been known to race without a quill toothpick in his mouth, nor George K. Barrett without a quid of gum. Carl Hess invariably wears a brace- let about his wrist und a skull Cap on his head which is only a hat lining. Arthur Zim- merman wearsa broad grin from the time the start is giventothe finish. W.S. Camp- bell opens bis mouth, showing his teeth, which he Keeps grinding until the finish is reached, while George C. Smith, after the first Jap, puts his head almost into his lap and saws wood, A BIG WHEEL TOURNAMENT, The Manhattan Athletic Club of New York City are sparing no efforts to make their bicycle carnival at Manhattan Field, on Aug, 27, the greatest meet of the year. Forty thousand invitations will be issued, and prizes consisting of town lots, bicycles, gold watches, etc., are being Offered to attract the best men in training. Their four-lap track isalso being especially prepared for this event, and the Manhattan people hope to have itintiptop shape in a short time. With a few necessary improvements they will have one of the fastest four-lap bicycle tracks in the United States. THE OAR.

William O’Connor, residing at 3825 Easton avenue, swore outa writ ofreplevin before Judge Jeff Pollard yesterday, against Miss Mary Donlaa, residing at 1617 Park avenue. Mr. Connor alleges thatsome months since he loaned Miss Donlan a pair of gold-rimmed eye-glasses of the value of $7, with the under- standing that they were to be returned to him when he neededthem, Having lost the glasses he was using a few days ago, he went to Miss Donlan, he asserts, and asked to have his gold-rimmed giasses returned to him. She declined toreturn them, he avers, de- claring he had given them to her and that he could not get them for that reason. Mr. O’ Connor says it is almost impossible for him ‘*get around’’ without them, though he is a young man. Judge Pollard placed the writ to inthe handsof the Constable, and Deputy’ Constable Thomas O’Brien returned it exe- cuted, Miss Donlan promptly turning the property over. Both parties are well-known young people ofthe West End, and the suit has caused considerable feeling among their friends and an interesting time is predicted when the case comes to trial on.Aug. 26.

Louis Ballentine, a young real estate man of St. Louis, has disappeared, and is said to have left his business ina tangled condition, Property which he purchased and mortgaged has been foreclosed by persons from whom he bought it. The high water which covered his land is said to have em.- barrassed him. His uncle, Geo. Ballentine, a trustee of the Denverside company, gave him the attorneyship of the company with agen. tsb J sign deeds.It is now claimed that by me of this power he made several trades which he did not report and was, therefore, discharged. J. T. MecCas- land, a large owner of Denverside property, claims that the company is out $5,000 by Ballentine’s actions. Attorney Bartholomew ga¥s that he is loser $150 on a real estate deal with Ballentine, and Edward Abend of the First National Bank at Belleville mourns $800, which he says he loaned to Ballentine. The young man is well connected, and his creditors donot think that he is dishonest, but had his calculations Knocked out by the flood.
